Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 170: The Reason for the Explosion in the Mechanical City

After Peter entered the Mechanical City, he first encountered a strange mechanical human. Then, he heard an announcement about the coronation of the new Virgin Mary from No. 0. Together with the explosion he had heard outside the city, he was surprised.

When these things were connected, it was not difficult to find that the explosion in the city was probably related to the new Virgin Mary. Before entering the city, Peter had deliberately looked up information about the Virgin Mary on the Skynet.

No. 0 was now controlling his smart mecha to rush to the explosion area. Even if he could not enter the core area of the explosion, he could still steal some useful information from nearby.

Most importantly, the two mutants who had entered the city might also appear near the scene of the explosion. Peter and No. 0 might even be able to capture the two mutants.

The entire Mechanical City was very large. It was obviously impossible to rush to the explosion area in a short period of time. Thus, Peter couldn’t do anything about it even if he was anxious. He could only allow No. 0 to operate the smart mecha at an extremely low speed.

In the Mechanical City, No. 0 would not dare to pilot the smart mecha to fly. As long as he dared to do so, he would be discovered by the police and shot down by them.

More than ten minutes later, the smart mecha finally arrived near the area where the explosion had occurred. No. 0 operated the smart mecha and was in no hurry to enter the area. Instead, he operated the smart mecha to circle around the area according to a fixed route. This was to prevent the police officers passing by from discovering anything unusual about the smart mecha.

Meanwhile, Peter, who was hiding inside the smart mecha, was observing the area of the explosion through the vision system. He was focused on checking the nearby mechanical humans that were gathered together. This was because he wanted to know if there were any mutants among them. He needed to move forward and reduce the distance between the smart mecha and the crowd.

“No. 0, keep moving forward. Take a few steps to the left.”

When No. 0 operated the smart mecha to make various movements, if one looked at the smart mecha from the outside, they would discover that the smart mecha controlled by No. 0 was imitating the actions of the mechas in the Mechanical City. It was different from the human Federation’s mechas that were operated by warriors.

Most of the mechas in the Mechanical City used an algorithm that had been set up in advance to allow the smart mechas to carry out various missions on their own. Even very complicated missions could be completed by the smart mechas.

If Peter were to operate this smart mecha, it would be his first time operating this smart mecha. Thus, it would be very difficult for him to imitate the movements of the mechas in the Mechanical City. If he encountered the surveillance cameras in the city, his chances of being discovered would increase.

Besides, Peter didn’t want to operate this smart mecha. After all, he felt very uncomfortable when he entered the smart mecha. If the conditions allowed it, he would have left the narrow cabin of the smart mecha long ago.

When No. 0 operated the smart mecha and approached the crowd watching the area of the explosion, Peter was carefully observing if any mutants had appeared.

To Peter’s disappointment, he saw no sign of the two mutants. He wondered where they had gone after entering the Mechanical City. However, the city was large, so it was a little unlikely that he would find them in a short period of time.

Since there was no sign of the mutants, he looked at the area where the explosion had occurred, which was very far from the city gate. Peter was still outside the city when the explosion occurred. Thus, he could imagine how loud the explosion was.

The few buildings in front of Peter were badly damaged, which was in line with the power of the explosion just now. Countless cyborgs and mechanical humans were searching for something in the ruins.

Just then, Peter heard No. 0 remind him that an Enforcer had appeared not far away. He looked in the direction No. 0 was talking about as a very strong mechanical human walked over from a street.

The Enforcer in front of him was a mechanical human. At this moment, Peter didn’t expect that the Enforcer would be a life form similar to a smart mecha.

No. 0 operated the smart mecha and began to patrol according to the route that had been previously determined. However, to Peter’s nervousness, the route that No. 0 had set in advance coincided with the path that the Enforcer had taken.

He definitely could not change his route now. Wasn’t changing his route in front of the Enforcer proving that there was a problem with the smart mecha? Thus, Peter had no choice but to watch the smart mecha walk towards the police.

According to the speed of the smart mecha, after calculating the speed of the Enforcer, the two of them came into contact at a corner. Peter was thinking about what to do next once he was discovered by the Enforcer.

At this moment, they were getting closer and closer. Just as the smart mecha was about to collide with the Enforcer in the next moment, the Enforcer took the initiative to leave the path of the smart mecha. Meanwhile, the smart mecha successfully avoided the Enforcer’s attention while travelling at its previous speed.

Peter was very nervous inside the smart mecha. This was not because the Enforcer was very powerful. However, if the Enforcer really discovered him, his goal of infiltrating the Mechanical City with all his might would fail.

The smart mecha continued to travel according to its route. However, the Enforcer behind it did not leave. Instead, it was talking to someone using its smart devices. This made Peter, who had just relaxed, nervous again.

“No. 0, I don’t know what that Enforcer is saying. Do you have any methods to find out?”

The smart mecha could only receive external sounds within a certain range. This also depended on the volume of the audio. It would be a miracle if they could hear what the Enforcer was saying in a very light tone.

“Master, I can’t do that either unless I control my smart mecha to return and stand beside the Enforcer.”

“…”

Peter realized that No. 0 could still joke around now, but this was not the time to joke. Thus, he could not eavesdrop on the conversation of the Enforcer. As a result, the smart mecha continued to travel according to its route.

More than ten minutes later, No. 0 operated the smart mecha to travel in a very large circle and returned to the place where he had met the Enforcer.

However, after turning a corner, the smart mecha saw that the Enforcer was still standing where he was without any intention of leaving. He was talking non-stop, and it was obvious that the Enforcer’s call had been going on.

“Who is this Enforcer talking to?”

Peter was also surprised to see the Enforcer again. If the Enforcer hadn’t kept talking and making all sorts of exaggerated movements, he would have thought that he was being observed.

Meanwhile, No. 0 didn’t say anything. Instead, he carefully operated his smart mecha and walked towards the Enforcer using the designated route. Unless there was a very urgent situation, he couldn’t change his route at will.

The most direct discovery was that when the smart mecha saw the Enforcer, although the Enforcer was talking on the phone, he still glanced at the smart mecha.

If No. 0 operated the smart mecha and left at this moment, the Enforcer would definitely stop talking and chase after the smart mecha to check it.

Peter knew that No. 0 would not do that. Thus, he hid in the smart mecha and looked at the Enforcer.

When the smart mecha passed the Enforcer, Peter deliberately pricked up his ears to hear what the Enforcer was saying.

The smart mecha passed by the Enforcer for only ten seconds. However, during these ten seconds, they could still hear some information.

No. 0 operated the smart mecha and was about a few meters away from the Enforcer. At this distance, Peter could hear a hint of what the other party was saying.

Peter heard a few short words.

“Virgin Mary.”

“A corpse.”

a??After the explosion.a??

“The corpse of the Virgin Mary was not found after the explosion!”

This was a summary of the words Peter had heard.
