Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 733: Chaotic Prologue, the Mechanical Leader Can Tolerate Betrayal, but Not Incompetence!

  • Next Chapter

With the fall of the Snake of Rebirth, the Civilization Ladder truly opened its prologue of chaos.

Just as the Green Forest World welcomed a new round of Civilization War.

An inconceivable piece of news erupted rapidly through the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel, spreading like wildfire and seizing everyone's attention.

The truth behind the Snake of Rebirth's fall: the Blood Duke and Mechanist Supremacy conspired to ambush the Snake of Rebirth; on the threat posed by the Mechanical Titan Project and Apostle Unit 23...

This content was posted to the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel by a Bronze Rank player.

Keywords like Snake of Rebirth, Blood Duke, and Mechanist Supremacy quickly drew attention, pulling people in to see the explosive content that followed.

For a moment, every player was stunned speechless by this information.

Looking at the detailed parameter data for the Mechanical Titan Project and Mechanical Apostle Unit 23, it was not just ordinary players, even those great existences at Gold Rank and above Gold all revealed expressions of shock and dread.

How could they not be terrified?

Why was the stern father Mortarian feared by others back then?

Was it not because he created Morphis, which had the potential to evolve into an above Gold existence?

So after Mortarian fell in the New World, the Fallen Abyss wasted no time finding Morphis and destroying it.

And now, Mechanist Supremacy had actually found another path, using stacked and combined Mechanical Titan energy to create mechanical weapons capable of threatening above Gold existences.

If this matter was true, then the Snake of Rebirth's fall could be fully explained.

Even if the Snake of Rebirth was powerful, facing a true existence equal to above Gold, plus a Mechanical Titan built by Mechanist Supremacy.

It was the equivalent of directly facing two enemies attacking at once.

The Mechanical Titan's strength had already been proven by the fall of the Snake of Rebirth.

This faction that had originally hidden behind the scenes, unnoticed by anyone, instantly became the most dazzling existence on the entire Civilization Ladder.

Even the radiance of the Blood Duke, the Fallen Abyss, and the Blood Clan was suppressed by it.

But this sudden exposure threw Mechanist Supremacy's Upper Management into a passive position.

The Mechanical Electronic Star.

This was an inorganic world composed entirely of metal, silicon-based materials, plastic, and circuit materials.

There was not a trace of protein, cells, DNA, or any other organic matter.

There was no laughter here, no vitality.

All that existed was circulation, operating with program-like precision.

At this moment, several consciousnesses were communicating.

The core of their exchange was precisely that information about the Mechanical Titan Project that had appeared in the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel.

"We have broken through the Civilization Ladder's information protection. Although we only had 1 second, we still obtained the Social records of that Bronze player and acquired the following information."

Player ID: Columbus Highway Vehicle

Affiliated organization: Snake Kiss (Snake of Rebirth Cult)

Handler: Artus (deceased)

No traces of other players or factions giving instructions found.

No intelligence related to the Mechanical Titan Project found in the Social Archives.

After trace verification, all content sent to the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel was edited by the player themselves.

Suspicion of other players or factions giving instructions ruled out.

Combined with the technical footage transmitted back by Mechanical Apostle Unit 23, there were signs the Snake of Rebirth forcibly opened a faith link before falling.

Temporary conclusion: This player is a believer of the Snake of Rebirth; before falling, the Snake of Rebirth transmitted the Mechanical Titan Project through the faith link to all believers. (92% probability)

Current point of doubt: The source of the Mechanical Apostle Unit 23 data in this player's possession is questionable. After comparison, this data is core data from before the last system modification and differs from the current version.

Recommendation: Conduct memory review on all personnel with viewing permissions.

Losses from this intrusion operation: The core database suffered a counterattack from the Civilization Ladder's core rules, some data was damaged, causing a loss of 7.82113 billion survival points.

"The Snake of Rebirth really is troublesome. Even in death, it created a huge problem for us."

"The priority now is to find the reason for the Mechanical Apostle Unit 23 data leak. Although what leaked was previous data, it is already very close to the real data of the finished unit."

"Based on current clues, this intelligence should have been obtained by the Snake of Rebirth beforehand. When did it get it, and what did it intend to do with it? We need to figure that out as soon as possible too."

The several figures quickly analyzed the situation.

"Leader, this is our analysis." All the consciousnesses quietly awaited the reply of the supreme will.

After a long while, a voice synthesized from mechanical electronic tones, full of magnetic charm, sounded.

"Oh~~ yes!"

"Now all the clues are telling us that there seems to be a... mm~ rat... yes, within our ranks. And it is an incompetent rat. It actually chose to cooperate with the Snake of Rebirth. What a foolish fellow."

"Before dealing with the troubles outside, we must first clean up the rat within our ranks."

"Everyone~~"

"Yes, great Mechanical Leader!" The other consciousnesses all affirmed their presence.

The Mechanical Leader's voice carried a playful tone:

"Please find this rat... Remember, bring it before me."

The corner of his mouth curled into a wicked yet confident smile:

"I want to tell it personally..."

"I can tolerate its betrayal, but I cannot tolerate its incompetence!"

-

This was a world shrouded by a starry sky.

The Star Disciple wore a long robe, head tilted back as he watched the changes in the Star Tracks, brows furrowing slightly.

"Mechanist Supremacy? They actually also secretly cooperated with Adran. Adran holds something they need?"

After several seconds of silence, the Star Disciple already had his answer.

"The Mechanical Leader, he is an ambitious and greedy fellow. To make him agree to cooperate, the price Adran paid must be something critically important to Mechanist Supremacy."

His mind organized all the clues.

He looked at the chat messages scrolling endlessly on the virtual light screen.

"Strange. This Bronze player really is a believer of the Snake of Rebirth, and before falling, the Snake of Rebirth indeed could have told its believers, to exact revenge on Mechanist Supremacy and Adran."

"But the Snake of Rebirth absolutely could not have obtained Mechanist Supremacy's mechanical data. Absolutely impossible. Yet what is going on now? Why has a fog shrouded the truth?"

In this moment, even the Star Disciple, known as the most "omniscient and omnipotent" on the Civilization Ladder, showed a worried expression.

Only the Star Disciple himself knew that the so-called omniscience and omnipotence was merely hearsay from those who did not understand.

His prophetic ability, even now, still fell short of his teacher from back then.

At this thought, the Star Disciple's furrowed brow slowly relaxed.

He looked at the avatar of Greenfield Cruise Ship on his friends list.

The corner of his mouth curved upward.

"Teacher, I never expected to see what you looked like when you were young. It seems that upheaval back then holds many more hidden secrets!"

The Star Disciple's thoughts turned to the Blood Duke once again.

"Mm~~ Absolutely cannot let Greenfield's appearance appear in the Blood Duke's field of view, otherwise it will be very troublesome, it is just..."

He thought of the series of operations he knew Greenfield had carried out, and could not help but smile wryly.

"Teacher is still as... energetic as ever!"
