Following Chen Huan'er, Willy adjusted the screen brightness to its maximum, illuminating the surroundings like a spotlight, which eased everyone's worries.
After passing through the stone wall, they were greeted by a different scene. The broken street was littered with mechanical parts and oil-soaked pavement. The number of Mechanical Lifeforms wandering about was few, and most were easily identifiable as defective products by Qin Luoxi's keen eyes. Some had their legs severed, while others had mismatched arms on either side, not to mention the varying colors of their metal casings.
Willy excitedly glided down the dilapidated street, his wheels spinning beneath him. Chen Huan'er turned to the two who had been wearing puzzled expressions.
"This is the true Mechanical Domain," she stated firmly. "What you have seen so far is merely what someone wants you to see."
Qin Luoxi waited for an explanation but was met with Chen Huan'er's illogical words. "Are you suggesting that those above are merely humans in disguise? They should be the natives of this world."
Chen Huan'er spoke with conviction. Qin Luoxi frowned; although it sounded absurd, the Military Department had long harbored some theories about the Dungeon, including radical ideas that it was merely a trial created by higher beings. There were also those who believed that these Dungeons must have a real counterpart somewhere, and what they did was completely replicate it, creating a logically coherent little world.
Qin Luoxi's frown deepened. "Is this what your talent tells you?"
Chen Huan'er nodded silently as they arrived at a dilapidated can-like hut. It was called a can hut not only because of its small size but also because one end of the roof was inexplicably tilted.
Willy wobbled excitedly and rushed into the hut, with Chen Huan'er and the others following closely behind. Upon entering and seeing Zhou Qingqing, even the usually carefree Xue Wushuang's expression darkened instantly.
Zhou Qingqing was covered in various tubes of different sizes, her exposed skin marred by countless burns and wounds, with a prominent arrow scar on her left cheek.
"Who did this?" Xue Wushuang glared at Zhou Qingqing, who lay unconscious with her eyes tightly shut, his anger boiling over.
"Fat Cat Brother, calm down. Those responsible have already been killed, and they died horribly—torn apart by the Pioneer," Chen Huan'er said, her delicate face pale as if recalling something distressing.
What happened? After getting separated, how did Zhou Qingqing end up in such a state?
At this moment, Qin Luoxi's expression was also dark and gloomy. Xue Wushuang raised her hand, and the leaves of the Holy Light Grass gently swayed, showering layers of healing light. The burns and wounds on Zhou Qingqing's body began to gradually heal.
Chen Huan'er started to recount the events.
"Ever since we got separated from you, Sister Qingqing and I relied on the items given by the captain to hold on. The injuries on Sister Qingqing were self-inflicted because the item, Jue Lu Zhe, requires negative status effects to function.
We were managing to hold out, but then we encountered those two mercenaries from a guild. They happened to see our items, and it was during that encounter that Sister Qingqing got hurt.
They were a bunch of beasts; we shouldn't have saved them in the first place!"
Xue Wushuang angrily struck the iron wall beside her, causing a dull echo to resonate through the air.
Willy was so startled that he almost reported incorrectly again. He hurriedly stepped forward, cautiously extending his mechanical arm to gently pat Xue Wushuang's shoulder.
Feeling the gentle touch on her shoulder, Xue Wushuang couldn't help but feel a bit more fond of the little robot.
