Chapter 1923: Chapter 1923

"Alright, since you’ve decided, let’s start." Seeing the young man speak like that, the two soldiers said nothing more, summoned the control panel, and continued their operation. Soon, a cold mechanical synthetic voice was heard from above.

[All regional components preheated!]

[Sensory sponge preparing!]

[Preparing neural connection, please ensure the pilot is wearing the sensory helmet!]

[Confirming... Confirmation complete!]

[Neural connection preparation complete!]

[Sensory sponge fully prepared, adhering to the pilot...]

As they were speaking, inside the control cabin where the young man was, the surroundings began to unfold, revealing a layer of black soft membrane that pressed against the young man’s body. Quickly, the indicator light on the young man’s sensory helmet started flashing rapidly. In the next second, the young man let out a muffled grunt, a pained expression emerging on his face. The two soldiers outside couldn’t help but tense up upon seeing this, nervously watching the young man’s reactions.

[Neural coverage at three percent... seven percent...]

The sensory sponge surrounding the control cabin gradually adhered tightly to his body, with scanning instruments continuously scanning it. On the control panel used by the support staff outside, all sorts of data jumped about wildly!

No one knew how much time had passed when the young man’s body suddenly stiffened! As if electrocuted, he stood upright!

His facial expression grew more pained. In the eyes of the two soldiers, he looked as if he was being stabbed in the heart, one knife after another!

The young man himself found it hard to describe his feelings at the moment. His eyes were already tightly shut, and the pain did not seem to come from his body but from his soul!

At this point, he could no longer see the two soldiers in front of him, their expressions, their actions—what were they doing? In the darkness, there were only faint scenes flickering.

The mechanical synthetic voice, devoid of any emotional tone, continued reporting the progress of neuronal coverage. He could hear the sound but couldn’t make out what it was saying.

In the pitch-black scene before him, the perspective was slowly rotating. At the same time, there was a sensation of his consciousness gradually being stretched—this stretching of consciousness brought him an indescribable pain!

Is it the tearing of the soul?

Rather than stretching, it felt as if his consciousness was elongating and widening while simultaneously becoming thinner!

Then slowly enveloping something!

He no longer had a concept of time. Meanwhile, outside in the control cabin, the two soldiers’ hearts were almost in their throats. The Endless Journey, as of today, had only this young man taking on the role of a pilot. They had no prior experience to rely on. If the young man suddenly encountered any anomalies, they had no solutions. Thus, they could only pray internally, hoping the young man would endure this phase.

Therefore, this brief half-minute felt like an eternity to the two soldiers.

Fortunately, through the sensory helmet, they finally saw the young man’s expression gradually relax, allowing the two soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go." After exchanging glances, one of the soldiers pressed the red confirmation button beside them. Afterward, they exited the mech and gestured an OK sign to the group of scientists below, who quickly began operating their tablets.

Soon, the entrance in the chest of the massive black mech fixed to the ceiling closed up. Then, a dark green light began to glow, growing brighter with time, flowing like water across the mech’s various parts, no longer making it look as plain as before.

"The mech has been activated!"

"Good! Our task is complete. Everyone, leave this place as quickly as possible!" The officer shouted, signaling everyone on the scene to evacuate through the safety passage. Before leaving, he cast a complex look at the mech, knowing there was nothing more he could do.

Watching his son enter the mech, he prayed in his heart to every god he could think of, whether domestic or foreign. It seemed improbable, but if, after today, there was still a chance to reunite with his son, there would be one less steadfast atheist in this world...

"If there truly are gods, please bless our reunification. I beg you..." Folding his hands in prayer, the officer silently prayed in his heart and then left the underground construction base with the others.

After everyone had safely evacuated, the once brightly lit underground construction base began shutting off the lights with a series of clangs, leaving only the glow from the mech casting a dark green illumination across the base!

The ground began to tremble, dust falling continuously from above.

Meanwhile, in the Shanting City District west of Mengjiao base, large cracks appeared on the ground, spreading in all directions at once!

A massive noise came, and the earth began to collapse. Streets above ground shattered, countless buildings being sucked into the earth. Soon, a gigantic pit with a diameter of over fifty meters and a depth of tens of meters remained, and inside the pit, a 26-meter tall mech was propelled up! Until it stood firmly on the intact ground!

Such a massive commotion attracted many people’s attention!

"Quick, look, what’s that thing?"

"It’s a mech... Damn! When did Mengjiao base build such a behemoth?" Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

"As big as it is, so what? Can it take out those Level 8 zombies?"

On the top floor of World Wealth Garden, people looked at the massive mech in the distance and exchanged puzzled glances.

"Old Ren... Is this your trump card?"

"Can this thing deal with those Level 8 zombies?"

Without a doubt, when this mech first appeared in people’s view, many expressed skepticism, but Old Ren said nothing. The Endless Journey over there wasn’t comparable to the first generation piloted by Yang Xiangfeng. The cost of each subsequent Endless Journey after Yang Xiangfeng was double that of the first generation!

Though still no match for the Zombie King Level, it was more than capable of dealing with Level 8 zombies, being a presence that was insufficient in some aspects but more than enough in others!

No matter what others said, Ren Xingtang had absolute confidence in this Endless Journey. If no Zombie King appeared, all Level 8 zombies in Mengjiao base were destined to die!

Of course, it depends on the pilot’s perseverance...
