Chapter 177: Going to the Mysterious Dungeon

Peter asked No. 0 to find the mission closest to the mysterious dungeon among the missions issued by the Mechanical City. Coincidentally, there was a mission to transport a metal box from the energy reserve area of the Mechanical City to the combat command room near the mysterious dungeon.

This was a new A-Grade mission that had just been issued today. However, it had not been accepted by any mechas or Mecha Masters. There was probably a reason behind this, but Peter didn’t care about this. Instead, he simply asked No. 0 to accept the mission first.

Before Peter left the church, he had also discussed a plan with Elina and Frank. Peter would enter the vicinity of the mysterious dungeon first. Then, Elina would command the remaining mutants to cooperate with Peter.

The dungeon that imprisoned the mysterious warrior was located in the southeast area of the city. It was not a place where all kinds of living creatures lived. Instead, it was a special factory with several research laboratories inside.

If Peter wanted to enter the dungeon, he had to go through the factory area first. Meanwhile, the mutated mecha beasts were in the warehouse of the factory. These mutated mecha beasts were usually treated as special forces and stored in the warehouse of the factory. They were also responsible for protecting the dungeon inside the factory.

When Peter hid inside the smart mecha, the closest place he could reach was outside the factory as this was the closest place the smart mecha could reach. If he wanted to enter the factory, Peter could only think of another way.

No. 0 operated the smart mecha to first obtain the special metal box from the energy reserve area. Then, he continued to operate the smart mecha and headed to the vicinity of the factory according to the planned route.

Peter hid inside the smart mecha and did not idle around. Instead, he talked to Elina through the communication system containedin the smart mecha. He learned from Elina that half of the mutants had their superpowers activated because of the mysterious warrior. Otherwise, they would not be willing to take such a huge risk to save the mysterious warrior.

At this moment, the sky outside had completely darkened. However, the city was still brightly lit. There were various glowing tools everywhere, as if proving to the people outside that the city had an endless supply of electricity. This was something that other cities did not have.

In New York Base City, after night fell, besides the streetlights in the main district, most areas were dark. This was the difference between the base city and the Mechanical City. This was because very little usable electricity was stored in the base city. Thus, this amount could barely maintain the streetlights at night.

When No. 0 piloted the smart mecha outside the factory, he received a warning from the surveillance system of the city on the display screen of the smart mecha.

[Please stand outside the yellow line!]

[It is forbidden to enter the area ahead!]

[You will be killed by the Enforcers if you enter without permission!]

Peter did not let No. 0 operate the mecha to continue moving forward.

Previously, Elina had told Peter that the Virgin Mary of the Mechanical City would complete the handover tonight. In other words, tonight was a rare opportunity for Peter as the process of the new Virgin Mary taking over the previous Virgin Mary would take a long time.

Peter would definitely not waste this opportunity. Regardless of whether Elina had any subsequent plans for him, he had to see the mysterious warrior tonight.

According to the information provided by Elina, the handover of the Virgin Mary would take place at around 9pm. There was less than half an hour before the handover time.

Thus, Peter asked No. 0 to operate the smart mecha and leave the range of the factory first. He didn’t want to alarm the Virgin Mary before the plan began.

Another problem was that if Peter wanted to pass through the factory and enter the dungeon, he would have to face the siege of the mutated mecha beasts. If Peter did not activate 50 times more rage, it would be very difficult to kill those mutated mecha beasts.

However, once he used 50 times more rage in advance, Peter would have no trump card to use if the new Virgin Mary rushed over after the handover.

The mutated mecha beasts were very troublesome and were always an obstacle that Peter could not overcome now. This also made Peter increasingly feel that without powerful strength, he would be restricted everywhere.

As time passed, the figures of the Enforcer began to appear in the periphery of the factory. This surprised Peter. Could the handover of the Virgin Mary also be in the dungeon inside the factory?

Peter contacted Elina. However, he wasn’t sure when she would reply, which depressed Peter. If the Virgin Mary really was doing the handover in the dungeon, would she be related to the mysterious warrior?

The Virgin Mary had diligently captured the mysterious warrior and brought him to the Mechanical City. Perhaps this was really part of the preparation for the handover of the new Virgin Mary.

However, Peter didn’t know what the mysterious warrior had to do with the Virgin Mary. Perhaps the power that the mysterious warrior possessed could help the Virgin Mary complete the handover of her consciousness. This was the only possibility that Peter could think of.

Five minutes before 9pm, Peter received a message from Elina. The mutant she had planted in the factory had discovered a very important message. The mutant lurking in the factory had seen the Virgin Mary.

This information confirmed Peter’s previous guess. It seemed that the Virgin Mary really wanted to use the power of the mysterious warrior to ensure that the handover of consciousness would be successful.

After Peter saw the message, he smiled bitterly in the smart mecha. He knew that this was really interesting now. The danger he was going to face was several times stronger than his previous plan.

He decided to continue negotiating with Elina and discuss the benefits he could obtain. Otherwise, it would be a waste.

It was less than three minutes before the handover of the Virgin Mary’s consciousness began. Meanwhile, Peter’s request to Elina at this time undoubtedly drove her crazy. However, Elina could not refuse Peter’s request. In the end, it was Frank who mediated the situation and the two parties reached a new agreement.

After Peter rescued the mysterious warrior, Elina, Frank, and Elise would follow Peter back to the base city and become a part of the Genetics College.

This was Peter’s idea. He wanted to let all the mutants join the Genetics College, but he also knew that this was unrealistic. In the end, he decided that it would not be at a disadvantage if he could pull the three mutants into the Genetics College.

It was now 9pm. Peter hid inside the smart mecha while No. 0 continued to control the smart mecha to break into the restricted area of the factory.

Peter wanted to use the smart mecha to attract the attention of the mutated mecha beasts. Then, he wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into the dungeon.
