Weapons and Equipment…

Xu Xin's heart moved.

Although the possibility is not high, if we can find it...

He glanced at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying's eyes slowly widened at this time.

"I... Let's go look for it!"

She originally didn't want to cause any trouble, but if she could really find the weapons of the alien invaders, and those weapons were powerful enough...

Does that mean we don't need to use the weapons she brought

In this way, could she... live longer

Although the young Xu Ying here may be teleported here in a year or two, she cannot exist in the same time and space with that Xu Ying, but a year or two is also a time!

Even if it is only one year, it can be stretched to a hundred years inside the World Tree!

Although she had already decided to die before coming here, if she could survive, she could live another hundred years...

She still has a lot of things she wants to do!

"Let's go and have a look."

Xu Xin said, he noticed what Xu Ying was thinking.

"Really? Then, we..."

Soon, Zhao Xiaochuan took the lead, followed by Xu Xin and Xu Ying, who were wearing hidden cloaks.

The three of them were walking normally because Xu Xin and Xu Ying could not move too quickly, otherwise there would be a risk of being discovered.

The Silver King had been put into the bracelet, while Coco nestled in Xu Xin's arms, with part of the cloak wrapping her little body, with only her little head sticking out to look outside.

"Hmm..."

As they got closer, Coco shrank her head.

"Be careful, this place is not deserted and it's very dangerous," Xu Xin warned.

Xu Ying was holding the device in her hand at this time that could block out the surrounding sound interference, so even if the three of them chatted aloud there would be no problem.

The reason why Xu Xin said this was because Coco had pulled his clothes and didn't want him to get close.

It obviously sensed the danger in the area.

However, at this moment, Xu Xin and his companions, who had the Hider cloak, naturally did not want to give up.

There may very well be weapons of alien invaders here. If they can really get them, it will definitely be of great help to their operation this time.

Even if any problems arise and the other party becomes suspicious, the worst that can happen is for Xu Ying to take them and teleport directly.

Their operation this time was based on infiltration as the main mode of action. If they were just going to infiltrate a place, they would be very well prepared in terms of both means and retreat routes.

The building in front of me really looks like a factory.

This building alone covers a very large area. Looking around, it seems to cover at least tens of thousands of square kilometers, but it is very low and has only one floor.

Xu Xin and his friends walked around the building for a distance and finally saw the main entrance of the building.

On the metal wall, a large metal door was tightly closed.

Strangely enough, even in this windy and sandy desert, these metal buildings look smooth and traceless, as if they had just been built, without even a stain.

The sunlight reflected off the metallic luster, making the door look a little cold.

The three of them walked forward. Xu Xin hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to reach out and try to push the door, he heard Zhao Xiaochuan whispered, "Wait, Brother Xin. Let me do it."

Xu Xin nodded.

Zhao Xiaochuan's ability is just right, so even if he touches something, it will not be noticed at all.

He walked to the iron gate, took a deep breath, and then pushed the closed door.

In fact, the three of them didn’t think that they could push the door open simply by pushing it with their hands.

As a result, contrary to the three people's expectations, the door was slowly pushed open by him!

Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at each other in surprise, and then Xu Ying hurriedly whispered, "Just push a gap! It's too big! If there's someone inside..."

“Hmm…!”

Before Xu Ying finished her words, Keke suddenly screamed, staring straight at the gap.

"Bing!"

Then it jumped out of Xu Xin's arms unexpectedly, and then went straight into the gap opened by Zhao Xiaochuan!

"this… !"

All three of them were shocked.

"It's over, it's over. How could Coco run away by herself? She will be discovered!" Zhao Xiaochuan said anxiously. Then he exerted force with his hands and opened the door a lot more, enough for the three of them to squeeze in through the gap.

"..." Xu Xin looked at the gap and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"I think we can relax for a while. Since Coco dared to go in, it means there is no danger inside, and... maybe there are really good things. Hey...!"

Before Xu Xin could finish his words, Xu Ying slipped in through the gap.

"Hey, wait for me!" Zhao Xiaochuan also went in.

Xu Xin shook his head and looked at the door.

With Xu Ying here, they don't have to worry about the door suddenly closing and trapping them all inside.

He followed in as well.

"hiss-"

As soon as I entered, before I had time to look at what was inside, I heard Zhao Xiaochuan gasp and then cover his mouth.

After Xu Xin saw the things around him clearly, he also shrank suddenly.

This is indeed a factory.

There are various kinds of automated machine tools in the factory.

These machine tools lie here quietly, without making any sound or operating.

But this was not what frightened Xu Xin.

I saw rows of gun muzzles hanging on the wall of this factory!

This appears to be the muzzle of a laser gun.

Among them, some of the gun muzzles were pointing at the door they came in from!

Being pointed at by these black gun muzzles, Xu Xin broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

They really saw what they wanted here, but these things were right in front of them!

It's still a laser gun!

It would be hellishly difficult for them to dodge this thing!

Who can travel faster than the speed of light

"Don't panic, Brother Xin." Zhao Xiaochuan whispered, "We are just stones. No, we are just air. They can't just shoot at the air!"

As a person with ability, Zhao Xiaochuan is more confident than Xu Xin.

Xu Xin nodded and said nothing.

Don’t talk unless necessary to avoid anything happening.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaochuan had the ability, otherwise they would probably have been shot by these machine guns the moment they came in.

By the way, how come Coco was okay when she came in just now

Think its goal is too small

At this time, Xu Ying had already walked to a very inner position, and Xu Xin and Zhao Xiaochuan hurriedly followed.

"Coco, what did you find out?" Xu Ying whispered.

“嘤…!” Coco also cried softly, turned her head to look back, and saw Xu Xin and the other man catching up with her, so she continued to run forward.

It leads the way, shuttling left and right among these machine tools.

Xu Xin looked at the machine tools around him.

"Is this... an assembly line for drones?" Xu Xin thought to himself, "Is this the assembly line industrial production of alien invaders? It seems similar to humans..."

Why does it feel like the assembly line of human technology...

In front, Xu Ying and Coco had already stopped.

Xu Xin and Zhao Xiaochuan also quickened their pace and walked over quickly.

"This is… "

A... metal stand

Xu Xin looked around. They were currently in the center of the factory.

And at this location, there is a... platform embedded in the metal floor

There was a hemispherical metal cover on the table, like the kind that covers the steaming hot food just served in high-end restaurants, and there was something underneath.

The metal cover seemed to be telling them that there was something good inside, so open it quickly...

"Don't."

Thinking of this, Xu Xin pressed down Zhao Xiaochuan's impatiently extended hand.

Why does this look so much like a trap

"Ying!" Keke crawled along Xu Xin's legs into his arms, got into his cloak, and then waved her little paws, "Ying!"

It was telling Xu Xin that there was no danger and to open it.

… Yeah.

That's right. Under normal circumstances, would anyone be able to sneak into the center of this factory surrounded by black gun muzzles like them

Who would set a trap in the center of a factory? If they were to set one, it should be at the door.

It seems he was overthinking it.

"Let me do it."

Just as he was about to reach out to pull it open, Xu Ying got there first and grabbed the handle on top of the hood.

"I'll do it."

She tried to lift the cover slightly to create a crack.

"This is… !"

A dazzling scarlet light leaked out from the gap. Just the light leaking out from the gap was enough to illuminate the entire factory!

At this moment, the sound of mechanical operation came from all directions.

"Not good!" Xu Ying grabbed the arms of the two people around her and was about to teleport directly.

"No, wait a minute." Xu Xin stopped him.

Coco's calm reaction in his arms made him feel that there was no danger around.

If there was any danger, this little guy would have jumped up and screamed "嘤嘤嘤".

He looked around first.

Because of Xu Ying's action just now, the cover was covered over the red light again, and the surroundings returned to normal.

The sound of the surrounding machinery gradually weakened and then slowly stopped.

"Why did these machines move just now?" Zhao Xiaochuan took a deep breath with some fear, and turned to look at the metal cover, "The things underneath..."

"... Could this be the switch for these assembly line machines?" Xu Ying muttered to herself, then she grabbed the handle on the cover again and slowly opened it.

The dazzling red light shot out again from the gap in the cover.

The sound of mechanical operation was heard again around.

The three of them looked around, and sure enough, the machine tools that were illuminated by the red light began to operate automatically.

As Xu Ying's body was gradually exposed, the three men also covered their eyes with their hands.

So dazzling!

Could this thing be...!

Xu Xin took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, so that he could barely look directly at the source of the red light.

This is a scarlet crystal about the size of a walnut, embedded in the center of the table.

This dazzling light was completely released by this red crystal.

"Such a small piece...how could there be such a terrifying light intensity?" Xu Xin muttered to himself.

The surroundings have been completely illuminated scarlet by this small piece of crystal.

Moreover, because this factory is made of extremely smooth metal, the red light shines on the ceiling, the ground, and the walls, reflecting almost without any loss.

The result was that the entire single-story factory, which covered a huge area, was illuminated by the red crystal light.

The factory also became noisy from the extreme quietness when Xu Xin and his team first came in.

The machine tools began to work automatically, the searchlights on the factory ceiling turned on and scanned the surroundings, and the laser guns on the walls... even began to move around!

These laser guns were like insects crawling on the wall, moving around on the wall!

The whole factory is like a living thing, and this small scarlet crystal stone is like its heart. When the heart beats, the factory comes alive.

"... You guys better put on your Cloak!" For the first time, Zhao Xiaochuan felt that his ability was a little unsafe. "If we are discovered, we will be shot to pieces and won't even have time to run..."

That's true.

The central location where they are now is the focus of many roaming laser guns.

If this were discovered, it would probably be vaporized instantly by the laser gun...

"Bing! Bing!" Coco poked her little head out of Xu Xin's arms. One of her little paws covered her eyes that couldn't be opened due to the red light, and the other pointed at the red crystal, "Bing!"

Its meaning was obvious, let them take the small piece of red crystal away.

"Can I take this thing away?" Xu Ying also understood what Keke meant. "Is this embedded in there?"

"Let me try." Zhao Xiaochuan reached out and touched the red crystal, but retracted his hand the moment he touched it, "Fuck! It's so hot!"

It was so hot that blisters even formed on his fingertips.

"Your hand..." Xu Xin looked at his hand in surprise.

I saw a few tiny red lines starting from the fingertips that touched the crystal, spreading to the entire finger, and then crawling up the palm and back of his hand.

“Oh my god! What is this!” Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed in a low voice, “I, I, I… I’m going to mutate?!”

"Don't worry." Xu Ying glanced at his hand. "You've been injected with genetic drugs. It's impossible for you to mutate because of this."

“Is… is that so…?”

What Xu Ying said was right. The red lines on Zhao Xiaochuan's hands only covered his hands and stopped before they could spread to his arms.

"This hand... is so hot!" Zhao Xiaochuan clenched his blood-stained hand into a fist.

Then, the red lines that had already covered his hands gradually faded away, and after a few seconds, his hands returned to their original appearance.

"Amazing! It actually recovered!" Zhao Xiaochuan said in amazement, and then looked at the crystal with a headache, "Don't touch this thing. I almost felt like I was going to turn into a beast just now..."

"This must be the source of life for the alien invaders..." Xu Ying touched her smooth chin, "If we can get a few pieces of this stuff, although it is of no use to us, it will be very useful for sneaking into the base of the alien invaders."

Xu Xin also understood what Xu Ying meant.

This thing is like an alien invader trap.

And there must be some magical uses.

"How can I get it off..." Xu Xin thought, and then his eyes moved, "Wen Xi, can I?"

Wen Xi's ability is mining, and this red crystal can be considered a kind of mine.

Perhaps the tool she made could be used to remove the red crystal from the platform

"feasible."

Xu Xin and the other two looked at each other and nodded.

"…Wen Xi should have put on the Hidden One's cloak a long time ago, right?"

Xu Xin was slightly worried, then shook his head. Is it possible that Wen Xi has a problem in this regard

He didn't waste any more time and turned the bracelet.

Immediately, Li Wenxi appeared in front of the three people.

She was sitting on the ground hugging her knees at this time. As soon as she came out, she was blinded by the red light and covered her eyes with her hands. She cried out in shock: "Ah..."

But the sound wasn't fully uttered, so she covered her mouth with her other hand.

Xu Xin pulled her up from the ground and whispered, "You can talk, don't worry."

“Is… I see. Where is this place?”

She squinted at the red crystal and immediately looked away.

So bright!

"That's right."

The three explained the current situation to her.

"I see. I'll try."

Li Wenxi didn't say anything more, but directly took out a small pickaxe.

She stuck the head of the pickaxe into the edge where the red crystal met the platform, then pried it with force.

"Card!"

"Ka-da-da..."

The red crystal was easily pried out of the groove of the platform and rolled to the ground.

For a moment, the entire factory was flashing red light.
