Chapter 200 Ling Mo’s Potential
After the robots were dealt with, they stormed the inner walls of the Spire without encountering any resistance, as if the Spire had given up on defending itself.
Even the fat guy found this situation a bit strange: “By the way, don’t you think the guards’ strength here is pretty pathetic?”
Outside the walls, a group of guards had somehow been overturned by a ragtag mob, even losing all their weapons—yeah, in the fat guy’s eyes, this resistance army was totally a bunch of amateurs.
He couldn’t spot a single element of proper organization in these people; honestly, he was surprised they even succeeded in breaching the outer wall.
In the end, he could only chalk it up to the Spire’s weakness.
Gao Tian, on the other hand, thought their organization was pretty strong: “Don’t worry, all locations outside are under our Resistance Army’s control now; they’re definitely scared, so they won’t dare to confront us head-on! The Resistance is powerful; we’ve shown them the true strength of this city and made them realize it’s not some weak place they can just toy with!”
“OK OK, you’re strong, you’re strong.” The fat guy casually responded, falling silent.
If he listened any longer, he’d almost be brainwashed by this guy.
Suddenly, he understood why there were so many people in the resistance.
They were probably all fooled in this way. Tsk, it was a pity this guy wasn’t into multi-level marketing.
The inner walls of the Spire seemed to be made of alloy—no, it appeared that the entire Spire was made of alloy, and its strength was likely incomparable to the outer walls. Ling Mo felt around and confirmed, “An RPG probably won’t do much damage to this kind of wall.”
Gao Tian paused: “Then what should we do? We have to find a way to break through! Otherwise, they’ll just huddle inside and watch us make fools of ourselves!”
“I never said I only have an RPG.” Ling Mo shot him a sideways glance, then stepped back a few paces; suddenly, white threads appeared on the ground and quickly coalesced into two massive bundles—each filled with large explosive devices.
Ling Mo casually picked up a bomb the size of a basketball, toying with it as he smiled, “This is a mini-nuclear annihilation bomb; this thing is definitely powerful.”
This was also the highest technology he could currently materialize—a form of existence far beyond current real-world technology.
And its power was genuinely enormous—he had blown himself to bits more than ten times while using this at the training ground.
Gao Tian was struck speechless: “This… this is also used by your mining company?”
“You know, our company used to mine harder ores.”
“Didn’t you have C4 back then?”
“Oh, that’s used for mining harder ores.”
“…”
Xia Xinyan watched Gao Tian and the others’ reactions for a bit.
It was quite amusing; they were more curious about why a mining company would have such bombs than about how Ling Mo could pull explosives out of thin air.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Murong Yue, who also looked contemplative at the moment.
It seemed that among the people here, aside from her and Ling Mo, only Murong Yue was thinking deeply.
Even Summer Jincang hadn’t paid much attention to the various oddities in this dungeon—perhaps after finding his sister, his focus had shifted entirely to her since he had been pretty strong when acting alone, or else he wouldn’t have made it to the top of the rankings later.
Xia Xinyan increasingly felt it necessary to build a good rapport with Murong Yue.
If she could pull her into her team, it would definitely be a considerable boost for the future.
On the other side, Ling Mo and the others had installed the bombs on the Spire’s walls. After activating the explosives, everyone hurried back to the Safe Zone.
Then, a deafening explosion erupted ahead, momentarily leaving everyone slightly deaf.
Once the smoke cleared, they found that the bomb had torn a huge gap in the entire wall, exposing what looked like a sci-fi movie set inside.
The fat guy was completely stunned: “Wow! This is awesome!”
It elevated his perception of Ling Mo even further—damn, if they piled up all these bombs, what existence in the world could withstand such a powerful explosion?
Old Ling could easily take the number one spot on the leaderboard with this move.
—Of course, that was just thinking, since no one would obediently let Ling Mo bury bombs all around them.
Ling Mo could also materialize a bomb with only 0.1 seconds left until detonation, effectively turning his abilities into a purely explosive force—this was a kind of advanced application of abilities. Many powers can transform their usage to bring about qualitative change.
However, if Ling Mo really did that, he probably wouldn’t come out in one piece; his maximum materialization distance was still pretty limited, which was a restriction on his powers, but simply put, it was still a lack of his own prowess.
But if Ling Mo continued to improve at this speed, it’d be hard to imagine what kind of being he would grow into.
No… Xia Xinyan could imagine it.
She was almost tired of playing those tricks.
That’s why she was confident Ling Mo could rise to the top of the leaderboard.
When the others witnessed this explosion, they all had various thoughts until Gao Tian’s voice rang out: “Alright! Let’s rush in!”
With great enthusiasm, Gao Tian led his people to charge ahead.
Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan followed closely behind.
“The Control Hub is at the very top; we have to find a way to create a path to the top!” Gao Tian seemed very familiar with this place and purposefully led them in a specific direction while explaining what they needed to do.
Tian Yi finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “Why do I feel like we’re doing all the work? What about the others? What are they doing?”
“We are the vanguard team! We’re responsible for breaking ground and scouting the enemy!” Gao Tian replied, “Most of the other teams are in charge of checking for dangers and controlling areas! They are in much greater danger than we are; if we encounter opponents we can’t handle, we can escape and have others rescue us, but if the other teams encounter enemies, they can’t run; we must win this battle!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a large screen above the hall suddenly lit up, revealing the image of a middle-aged woman, her face twisted in anger as she glared at everyone, shouting, “Do you know what you’re doing? You’re destroying the core hub of this city! You will become the sinners of this city! Quickly drop your weapons and surrender to minimize your punishment!”
“You’re full of crap!” Gao Tian immediately countered, “You’re controlling this city! Only by destroying this place can we save the city!”
“We are maintaining the normal operation of this city! You idiots!” The woman waved her hand fiercely, “Since you won’t listen, don’t blame us for being rude; execute the highest order—kill all intruders!”
With that, numerous silver robots suddenly appeared around the hall, charging at them with murderous intent.
Then Gao Tian turned around and ran: “Ahhhh! Murderous robots! They’re dangerous, be careful!”
Xia Xinyan and the others: “……”
