Chapter 124: Chapter 100: Is Your Head, Very Hard?_1
Jiang Chen had intended to test the waters in the Endless Difficulty Level, but he saw a distress signal from another civilization.
The choice that came next was, without a doubt, unquestionable.
“The abyss is right there, I can challenge it anytime.”
“If I ignore the distress signal from the other civilizations, it will disappear in a matter of minutes.”
“Rescue clearly has to be the priority!”
That was his thought, yet Jiang Chen didn’t immediately accept.
Instead, he recalled Zero to the Abyss Rune and entered the pilot seat of the steam mecha.
Only then, with caution and vigilance, did he touch the Abyss Rune on his palm.
Senior Yano had already warned him of the existence of Fire Plunderers within the Fire Transmitter civilization.
Moreover, according to the rules of Fire Transmitter traits, the distress signal can only be activated in the face of a disaster capable of destroying a civilization, with nothing like the feigned calls to arms by warlords…
Therefore, a challenge of 3rd Rank intensity, capable of destroying a civilization, indicated one thing—
The strongest mecha pilot of the Tianyuan civilization had not reached the 3rd Rank level.
This was outrageous!
You should know, the prerequisite for obtaining the Fire Transmitter traits and sending a distress call is: the civilization must have crossed the abyss and produced a bearer of hope.
This is the most basic condition for obtaining the Fire Transmitter traits.
Under such conditions, unless the bearer of hope is the civilization’s first mecha pilot, the strongest one, and his power is the lowest eightfold increase, unable to reach the 3rd Rank level…
And the civilization had just undergone Fire Transmission, with the Fire Transmitters of other civilizations having just left, and before the bearer of hope could improve his strength, they immediately faced a 3rd Rank intensity disaster that could destroy the civilization…
Those conditions are just too harsh.
By comparison, it’s more likely that Tianyuan civilization had encountered an attack by Fire Plunderers and was a [suffering civilization].
“If Tianyuan civilization is in that situation.”
“My visit to support them would mean I would very likely encounter the mecha pilots of the Fire Plunderer civilization!”
“Whether for factional stance or for the exclusive enjoyment of Civilization Potential, those Fire Plunderer civilization’s mecha pilots will surely try to eliminate me.”
“Which means…”
“From the moment I accept the support task.”
“The battle has already begun!”
The steam mecha moved its body, preparing for battle.
[Application accepted, beginning rescue mission.]
[Welcome to the abyss.]
The next moment, darkness struck, swiftly engulfing him.
[Current location: Tianyuan Civilization]
[Disaster intensity: Three]
[Mission: Slay the Alien Beast King, resolve the alien beast disaster.]
[Description: The civilization is ruined, life vanishes, and the survivors huddle in one corner, barely clinging to existence.
But the abyss is never far away.
The special genes within the wilderness alien beasts have caused them to undergo a frenzied mutation, forming a tide-like disaster that returns anew.]
[Friendly reminder: Free to explore, you may leave the abyss at any time (one minute preparation required).
A vast and boundless land where purplish-red plants grow wantonly, covering every piece of the earth.
A colossal mecha, over ten thousand meters tall, lies in the middle of this purplish-red prairie, like a majestic mountain range.
However, as imposing as it is, it’s nothing more than a broken carcass, its length of abandonment unknown, its metal armor covered with moss and vegetation.
Even its sides, seams, gaps, and the like have been filled with a large number of man-made structures, extending deep into its body.
Clearly, the survivors regard this mecha wreck as a natural barrier and have established a new city atop it.
Unfortunately, although the mecha’s indestructible metal shell can block most monster attacks,
the barriers established in the cracks of the metal shell seem so fragile.
One by one, feather-covered flying alien beasts spit acid from the sky, rapidly corroding the metal city walls.
All sorts of strange beasts flood over like a tide, launching an attack on the breaches.
At the breach, several mecha pilots clad in small mechas wield different weapons, just barely holding back the invasion of alien beasts.
The weapons themselves are not to be underestimated.
Especially the machine guns mounted on the city wall that can easily shred the flesh of these alien beasts.
But there are just too many alien beasts.
They far exceed the limit of what the firepower can cover, continuously consuming the ammo of thermal weapons, the energy of the mechas, the Armor Value.
A mecha pilot stuck at the breach retreats while using the flamethrower in his hands to fight the alien beasts.
Suddenly, the flames die out; the flamethrower’s fuel is exhausted.
Without the flame’s deterrence, several wolf-like alien beasts pounce fiercely, violently tearing at the outer layer of his mecha.
The Armor Value rapidly declines until it hits zero and shatters with a loud crash!
Before the other mecha pilots can offer support, a scream is heard as he’s directly dismembered and torn apart by several wolf-like alien beasts.
“Old Qi!”
One mecha pilot, seeing this scene, is beside himself with rage.
Starting from the Alien Beast King’s call to attack, he had already lost over a dozen close friends.
The number of other fallen mecha pilots was beyond count.
He couldn’t help but roar over the communication channel.
“Are you not going to take action yet?”
“Do you really have to wait until all of us are dead before you’re willing to step in and wipe out this beast tide?”
There was silence for a moment.
A relaxed voice came through the communication channel.
“Don’t be in such a hurry. How many people have died isn’t really important.”
“Since you’ve already unlocked the Group Diver trait, all members of the civilization can obtain an Abyss Rune…”
“As long as you’re not wiped out, these low-ranked mecha pilots are just expendables.”
“We’ll act depending on the situation and won’t just watch you go extinct.”
