Gate of Revelation - Chapter 538

Chapter 538

GOR Chapter 538 Fireworks

Tens of mechanical hatches inside the equipment room opened up simultaneously . Inside the hatches were rows of construction androids; all of them were in a dormant state . Now however, Zero City had activated them all .

The construction androids moved into groups and rushed toward the large Energyquake Bomb . Next, their mechanical arms transformed into various instruments as they hastily went to work .

A considerable number of androids had also appeared beside the special mech, almost the same number as those working on the bomb . Their large mechanical arms pushed the mech out from the storage facility . Next, they slowly pushed it across the floor until it was in the centre of the equipment room .

The construction androids were like ants working on the surface of a giant’s body .

Chen Xiaolian observed what was happening in shock . He could hear the rumbling sounds from the construction work that the androids were performing .

Meanwhile, sounds of explosions continued to reverberate forward from the closed underground factory’s passageway leading into this room .

After around two minutes, a flash of golden light burst out and cracks appeared on the surface of the final gate . A golden glow seeped in from the final gate .

“They are coming . ”

Zero City spoke up, “This is the strongest gate within this underground factory, but they will be breaking through it soon . Now, move according to my instructions . ”

“What should I do?”

The moment those words left Chen Xiaolian’s mouth, a map appeared on his personal system’s radar . Surprisingly, it was the map of this underground factory .

Marks labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, etc . quickly appeared on the map .

The marks appeared in every corner of the map .

“Later, run toward the marked numbers in sequence . First, head toward the spot marked no . 1 . When I say begin, quickly run toward 2, 3, 4, 5… just keep going according to the sequence . Remember, you must move toward the marked spot in sequence . ”

“Why?”

“It is very simple, all the defensive turrets within this factory had received the input for the targeting and shooting areas . All you need to do is move according to the marked coordinates . Keep moving so that the Electronic Guardians will follow you through this area and the defensive turrets will open fire on them . ”

“… … …” Chen Xiaolian was taken aback . “I will be the bait to lure them into the fire zone? In that case, I…”

“You do not have to worry about your safety . All the defensive turrets are energy-tier weapons and I had already given them the identification program to identify friend and foe . The standard used for this program is a temperature sensor . Do you remember the warm-up I asked you to do earlier?”

“You mean when you told me to abandon the hover car and run toward this room?”

“Yes . As you were running, your temperature were taken and recorded . All the turrets are under my control and the criteria for identification of friend is your body temperature . Thus, when the energy turrets open fire, it will make due calculations to ensure it does not hit you . I need you to do this not only to kill the Electronic Guardians using the energy turrets but also to delay their advance . That is in order to make the precious time needed for the final tasks on the Energyquake Bomb . According to my calculations, if everything goes well, there will be less than 1 . 6 seconds of discrepancy . ”

Zero City’s words surprised Chen Xiaolian . However, there was no time to think about it . He quickly asked, “What happens after I finish getting to all the coordinates?”

“Return to this place and enter the mech . At the same time you enter, I will detonate the Energyquake Bomb . ” Next, Zero City added . “Remember, the defensive turrets will not be firing at you as they will deliberately avoid firing at you . You do not need to worry about friendly fire from the turrets . However… you are still the Electronic Guardians primary objective, one they are intent on killing . Thus, you will need to take good care not to get yourself killed . ”

Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth and shouted, “All right!”

Even as he shouted, he had begun running into the factory as he rushed toward coordinate no 1 . At the same time, the large gate blocking the passageway finally burst apart with a flash of golden light .

A tightly packed swarm of Electronic Guardians charged inside .

They swarmed across the floor and up the ceiling . The sight of their mechanical tentacles caused Chen Xiaolian’s scalp to tingle .

Countless number of the mechanical octopuses spread open their tentacles as they moved toward Chen Xiaolian . At the same time, the defensive turrets on the walls and ceiling opened fire .

Chen Xiaolian bit down on his lips heavily before rushing toward coordinate no . 2…

…

It became obvious that the Electronic Guardians had locked onto Chen Xiaolian as their ‘primary objective’ .

Thus, despite suffering from the bombardment from the defensive turrets, the Electronic Guardians did not retaliate . They did not move to destroy the turrets . Instead, they simply charged after Chen Xiaolian .

Chen Xiaolian quickly made his way to coordinate no . 2 . As for the Electronic Guardians, they moved into the fire zone as planned by Zero City .

This was the optimal result from the calculations made . The path that the Electronic Guardians was taking was the most optimal firing zone for the turrets . It allowed the turrets to achieve its biggest crossfire effect and deal the most harm to the Electronic Guardians .

Chen Xiaolian felt as though he was dancing upon the tip of blades .

Several times now, he could clearly feel the energy beams sliding right past him – the turrets on his side had fired those beams .

Despite the dangers, it was as Zero City had said . Those turrets had made the proper calculations to avoid Chen Xiaolian when firing . There were two occasions when the fired beams grazed past Chen Xiaolian’s head . However, it did not actually made contact with him .

While Chen Xiaolian was running forward, the energy turrets destroyed many of the pursuing Electronic Guardians . He kept running, pushing himself to his limits .

Even so, the Electronic Guardians were not existences that would allow themselves to be easily killed off . It became clear that the system had given these things a certain level of intellect . After suffering from the attacks by the defensive turrets, they began counter attacking instead of focusing solely on pursuing Chen Xiaolian .

The Electronic Guardians began destroying the turrets . As they did so, Chen Xiaolian ran from coordinate no . 1 to coordinate no . 2, then to coordinate no . 3…

As time passed, more and more of the defensive turrets were destroyed and the roaring sound of the energy beams gradually lessened .

The Electronic Guardians wrapped up the turrets and the formless waves of light emitted by the tentacles destroyed the turrets .

After running to the last coordinate, Chen Xiaolian found that he was gradually getting cornered . Without waiting for Zero City to give him the signal, he rapidly made his way back to the equipment room .

The rain like attacks coming his way nearly killed him on several occasions . The formless waves of light fired out by the Electronic Guardians nearly struck him a few times, but he was saved by Zero City .

Thanks to this omnipotent existence, miraculous situations occurred as Chen Xiaolian was running . A sudden pipeline explosion, the sudden collapse of a metal frame on the ceiling and others all happened during moments of crisis and the result was that the attacks targeting Chen Xiaolian would be blocked .

Chen Xiaolian finally charged into the equipment room and the gate closed up once more .

Although this gate could not stop the Electronic Guardians, it was capable of giving him some time to manoeuvre .

Chen Xiaolian rushed beneath the mech and vaulted up to the mech . The cockpit of the mech automatically opened up and he slipped inside .

As the cockpit hatch was in the process of closing up, Chen Xiaolian heard Zero City speak .

“Detonation in five seconds . The shockwaves will be intense, hold on tight!”

F**K!!!

Chen Xiaolian swore . He checked the pilot’s seat within the cockpit . There was no time for him to sit properly and he could only jump on the seat and scramble for the belts meant to be tied across the pilot’s body .

Through the monitoring screen in the cockpit, he could see that the gate of the equipment room had broken down and the Electronic Guardians were swarming their way in . The outer areas of the factory had fallen to ruins as 90 per cent of the turrets had been destroyed . Only a scattered few remained functional and firing .

Vast quantities of the Electronic Guardians practically blocked the gate leading into the equipment room as they charged in .

“5, 4, 3, 2, 1… bomb detonated . Mech defensive shield raised to maximum power . ”

The Electronic Guardians inside the equipment room were seemingly able to sense something as they went straight toward the mech – clearly, thanks to the lockdown; they were able to sense that Chen Xiaolian was inside the mech .

The countless Electronic Guardians charged, some crawling up furiously through the ceiling, some simply threw themselves through the air…

And then…

A burst of light…

…

Bluesea, Angel Wu and the others who were standing beside the Board of Patriarchs’ building were suddenly jolted by a quaking feeling .

The ground beneath them shuddered violently .

The magnitude of the quakes was like those of a rocking kiddie ride .

The Board of Patriarchs’ building behind them was also affected by the violent quakes and the front wall suddenly collapsed under the intensity of the quakes .

Huge cracks appeared on the ground within the south street area .

It was as though some faults had appeared in the plates underground and large, deep cracks appeared on the ground .

If one were to look down from above, they would see that several areas within Zero City had either moved into the wrong spot or risen up .

“This… … what is this?” Bluesea asked as he gaped at his surroundings .

Tens of War Bastions acting as turrets fell over due to the resulting quakes and parts of the Board of Patriarchs’ building were still collapsing . Thankfully, the main building was durable enough and no real structural damage occurred .

Angel Wu suddenly turned his head to look at a certain direction .

“There was an explosion . It came from underground… … it feels like it came from there?”

The two of them exchanged glances and they saw shock in both their expressions .

That was where Chen Xiaolian had headed toward earlier .

Bluesea forced down the shock he was feeling and raised his head to look up at the sky .

Thankfully, the earthquake did not affect the aircrafts up in the sky much . After a minor state of chaos, the aircrafts returned to order and resumed their move toward the teleportation portal .
