Chapter 168: The World Inside the Mechanical City

Peter walked around the smart mecha that had been modified by No. 0 and observed it for a while. He wanted to find something that was different from the mechas in the Mechanical City.

However, to Peter’s disappointment, he carefully examined every detail on the smart mecha and did not find anything different from the mechas in the Mechanical City.

This gave Peter a new understanding of No. 0. He knew that he had picked up a treasure. This treasure was the smart No. 0, a smart body that could perfectly imitate any object. This was very important to Peter.

Of course, the metal materials used by this smart mecha were still different from that used by the mechas in the Mechanical City. Even if No. 0 could completely replicate the materials used, it would still take a long time. However, what Peter lacked the most now was time.

Thus, Peter was satisfied with No. 0’s work. He asked No. 0 to teach him how to enter the smart mecha and how to solve any problems he might encounter.

No. 0 first told Peter how to enter the smart mecha. After the smart mecha was modified by No. 0, Peter did not have to operate the smart mecha himself as the entire process was remotely controlled by No. 0. Of course, under special circumstances, Peter could also operate the smart mecha on his own.

When Peter entered the smart mecha, the first thing that appeared in front of him was the sensor-type visibility system. Through this system, he could fully simulate the environment of the outside world. He could even simulate different mechanical effects in a spatial area.

No. 0 also added a more advanced version of a combat power value system to the smart mecha. Thus, Peter could directly see the other party’s combat power value inside the smart mecha.

Peter liked this function very much. He asked No. 0 if he could create a small version of this system. This function, which tested the opponent’s strength in real time, was indeed attractive to Genetic Warriors.

“Master, there are many more of these technological products in the warehouse. I didn’t know that you guys liked these small things.”

Peter was depressed by what No. 0 had said. If he had known that there was such a good thing in No. 0’s warehouse, he would have asked No. 0 to take it out.

Peter suddenly felt that there must be many high-tech items, or even high-tech products, in No. 0’s warehouse.

“No. 0, when I return, you’d better make a detailed list of the good things in your warehouse.”

Peter entered the smart mecha. First, No. 0 operated the smart mecha and travelled in the direction of the Mechanical City. When the smart mecha moved, a mecha squadron located outside the Mechanical City was preparing to enter the city.

These mechas were all sent out by the Mechanical City to carry out missions. There was a very special mecha in front of the mechas, which was clearly much taller than most mechas.

At this moment, No. 0’s voice sounded inside the smart mecha.

“Master, there’s a mecha squadron ahead of you. The tallest mecha should be the commander of this mecha squadron. As long as you blend into the group of mechas without being discovered by him, you can successfully enter the Mechanical City.”

There were also many mechas of various models constantly entering and exiting the gates of the Mechanical City on the outskirts of the city. This would instead provide a good cover for the smart mecha Peter was hiding in.

A few minutes later, the smart mecha Peter was in had arrived dozens of meters away from the city gate. In front of him was the group of mechas waiting to enter the city.

These mechas were not lined up neatly. Instead, they were randomly standing in different positions. There were also obvious scratches on the surface of some of the mechas. It seemed that they had been injured during a mission.

Peter could clearly see the situation outside through the vision system. Then, he suddenly realized a problem. In the group of mechas in front of him, almost every mecha’s shell had traces of damage. On the other hand, the smart mecha modified by No. 0 looked very smooth and flat, like a new mecha that had just been produced.

“No. 0, we overlooked a problem. The smart mecha you modified is too new.”

After Peter finished speaking, No. 0 immediately realized that this was indeed his mistake. He had not modified this smart mecha to make it look old.

However, the smart No. 0 had a solution.

“Master, there are nine gates leading to the city. There’s still time. I’ll pilot the smart mecha to the other gate, where two mecha teams are waiting to enter the city. Furthermore, they’re all brand new mechas.”

After No. 0 finished speaking, the image in Peter’s field of vision moved. This was because No. 0 began to control the smart mecha to change direction.

Just then, a violent sound suddenly erupted from the Mechanical City. Peter was shocked. Then, he could guess from the violent sound that something had exploded.

“No. 0, what’s going on?”

Peter could not see the situation inside the smart mecha, but as a smart body, No. 0 could check the surveillance cameras in the city through the Skynet.

However, this was a risk for No. 0 to be discovered. Thus, the sudden situation made Peter anxious.

After a short wait, No. 0’s voice sounded from the smart mecha.

“Master, I just hacked into the Skynet and took the risk to check the surveillance cameras in the city. I discovered that an unusual building had exploded. However, due to the thick smoke from the explosion, I couldn’t see the detailed situation through the surveillance cameras.”

It was then that Peter realized that he had been too anxious. He should not have allowed No. 0 to risk checking the surveillance cameras in the city.

The most important thing now was to infiltrate the Mechanical City as soon as possible and look for clues about the mysterious warrior. Thus, No. 0 operated his smart mecha and rushed to another city gate.

When Peter rode the smart mecha to another city gate, as No. 0 had said earlier, there were two mecha teams outside the city. These mechas had probably just been produced. Their smooth metal surface reflected the dazzling sunlight in the sky.

“Master, I’m now operating my smart mecha to enter the Mechanical City. If anything happens, I’ll hand the control rights to you.”

This was the plan that they had previously agreed on. Through the vision system, Peter looked at the slowly moving mechas in front of him and began to enter the Mechanical City.

Behind the smart mecha Peter was in, several new mechas quickly joined the team entering the city.

When these mechas passed through the city gate, there was no need for them to be tested. They could simply enter through the city gate. Then, they would scatter to different buildings. Some would report their missions, while others would replenish their energy.

As time passed, the smart mecha that Peter was in quickly passed through the city gate. There was also a 100-meter-long tunnel behind the city gate. This also meant that the widest part of the Mechanical City wall was 100 meters wide.

Peter’s smart mecha had successfully passed through the 100-meter-long tunnel. After seeing what the interior of the city looked like for the first time, his eyes began to widen. This was because he could clearly see various strange buildings through the smart mecha’s vision system.

At this moment, Peter entered a steampunk world.
