Chapter 210 Zero Price Shopping Spree

It turned out that the armed forces of this spire were far stronger than anything they had encountered on their way here.

After the Resistance Army formed a united front with the spire, all the enemies they faced became several levels stronger. Even the mechas, which had previously been the toughest opponents, were now being released in waves as cannon fodder—controlled ones too, with reaction speeds and combat skills much better than before.

In almost no time, they felt the true challenge that a top difficulty dungeon should present.

And Ling Mo’s response was to blow a path through.

With no regard for any possible negative consequences anymore, his combat power truly peaked. Various types of bombs manifested like they were free and were hurled forward, each explosion shrouding the area in smoke, looking like the Grim Reaper of explosives.

Even the others could only stand behind and watch, helpless to contribute much except for those able to attack from a distance.

This left the fat guy even more surprised: “Is Old Ling dead set on being a bomb freak?”

“Thanks to your electric chainsaw inspiration,” Ling Mo tossed out several more bombs and turned to smile at the fat guy, “I’ve found that being a bomb freak is quite fun.”

Fat guy: “…”

He was the Electric King! Not some blasted bomb freak!

On the other side, Summer Jincang’s expression was even weirder.

—This guy Ling really looked like a violent maniac! He was completely a bomb-crazy lunatic!

Who knows if his true nature was this aggressive and irritable—wouldn’t his sister suffer a lot if she followed him in the future?

The more he thought, the more worried he became.

Yet, at this moment, Summer Xinyan was cozily snuggled in Ling Mo’s arms, not moving at all, which made him a bit anxious.

His sister was such a smart person, able to see through this dungeon first, how could she not see the brutality beneath Ling Mo’s exterior?

No, he had to find a way to get his sister away from this guy!

Meanwhile, the person Summer Jincang was worried about was eagerly anticipating increasing the intensity.

It would be best to blow the whole tower up; she didn’t believe this wouldn’t cause chaos.

At the same time, she was observing their opponents—those who had initially just hid behind and shouted bravado were now transformed into fearless warriors, fully aware that advancing one step meant death, yet not a single Resistance Army member chose to retreat.

This made her curious about that existence that orchestrated this live show—how did they control or command this crowd?

Were they giving these people instructions in their heads just like before when they talked to them?

But such instructions shouldn’t have a brainwashing effect, right? Such loyalty to fight to the death rather than surrender couldn’t just be cultivated by a few words.

Or perhaps… brainwashing?

So, what exactly was that Control Hub in the mission…?

At that moment, Ling Mo and the others charged back to the dome area. Their original location was still swarmed with countless Resistance Army members rushing to confront them, and they had equipped ranged weaponry, launching a counteroffensive against Ling Mo’s explosive onslaught.

Seeing the situation grow dire, Summer Xinyan suddenly peeked out and pointed with her cat paw in a direction: “Mo Mo, go that way! That’s the way up!”

There was still a staircase leading upward at the edge of the dome, proving there was still space above. However, they hadn’t gone in that direction before and had no idea what awaited them up there.

But it was better than facing a horde of Resistance soldiers here.

And even if they were forced into a dead end, they could always choose to jump down— the most direct escape route.

Upon hearing Xinyan’s voice, Ling Mo wasted no time, turned around, and retreated towards that staircase, all while continuously manifesting explosives to slow the advance of the Resistance Army.

The others hurriedly followed, while the fat guy deliberately lagged behind. Before stepping onto the staircase, he threw two electric chainsaws from his space watch behind him and then dashed away.

As the already crazed Resistance soldiers charged through the smoke of explosions, they were greeted by the two chainsaws lying at the staircase.

Without a second thought, they sprayed bullets at the chainsaws, and then—

BOOM——!!

An explosion, several times more intense than the previous ones, erupted, shaking the entire tower, obliterating the staircase entrance and throwing the entire dome into chaos.

The ones who had rushed up before, like Tian Yi and the others, were stunned: “Holy crap! Did they set off a nuclear bomb?!”

“Not a nuclear bomb! It’s a flashbang!” Ling Mo shot a glare at the fat guy, “Are you trying to take us all down with you?!”

“I was just trying to block the way, okay?!” The fat guy looked innocent, “If this leads to a dead end, can’t it buy us some time?”

“Have you ever seen someone using a nuclear bomb to block a road?”

“I… I’m not talking about a nuclear bomb! It’s a chainsaw! A chainsaw! Do I need to say it again?” The fat guy exploded.

While they argued, Summer Xinyan jumped out of Ling Mo’s embrace, landing on the ground and began scouting the area ahead.

They were now in a corridor, with the right wall possibly leading to the top of the dome, while the left side had a large door that was left open.

She peeked inside and then stood still: “Wow.”

Summer Jincang and Ling Mo caught up: “What’s wrong? What’s in there…”

Before he could finish, they, like Summer Xinyan, were momentarily dumbfounded—

Inside was a massive equipment storage.

Rows of cockpit doors for mechas were open, behind them were several of the air-drop robots they had seen at first, to the left were dozens of silent combat robots being repaired, and on the right wall hung various weapons and equipment.

Seeing this, the fat guy instantly forgot the earlier unpleasantness: “Brothers… are we hitting the jackpot?”

Murong Yue dashed inside first: “What are you still standing there for?! Hurry and grab as much as you can! It’s all free loot!”

Then everyone swarmed in, starting the happiest zero-price shopping spree of this dungeon.

This turned out to be an unexpected surprise—super unexpectedly.

Even Summer Xinyan didn’t expect such a great haul.

However, she didn’t join the shopping frenzy; instead, she transformed back into human form and stood outside the door to help keep watch.

Seeing she didn’t go in, Ling Mo stayed by her side: “Aren’t we going in to grab stuff?”

“No rush; they can’t take it all,” Summer Xinyan smiled, “That one mecha is probably enough to drain their space watches dry.”

After pausing for a second, she continued, “You can go in first to take a look, don’t mind me. Even if you can’t grab much, seeing the structure of those weapons and equipment will help your ability to manifest items.”

Ling Mo instinctively nodded, ready to turn around and head inside when suddenly a voice rang out in all their heads—

【You have severely violated the game rules. Immediately drop your weapons and surrender, or you will face the harshest penalties.】

In the next moment, Monica’s figure appeared beside them, holding a large device like a cell phone, her smile utterly cryptic: “Oh dear… seems some people finally can’t sit still anymore… Well, it was worth the wait. You rookie eggs did well~!”
