Chapter 894: Mechanical Junkyard
Because the system has undergone an "evolution," the old user interface is no longer available.
The system did not respond.
Gu Heng's first thought was to use "teleportation" to go back, but both "teleportation" and "omniscient perspective" are part of the system's functions. Now that even the system is unresponsive, neither of them can be used at all.
But none of these are actually the most important things.
The most important thing.
It's the system inventory!
Unable to access his system inventory, Gu Heng had nothing left!
It was his habit of putting anything he had into the system's inventory that led him to this situation. Gu Heng never expected that he would one day temporarily lose the system.
This is unreasonable! This was clearly my most useful cheat code, and now it's gone just like that. Where can I complain?
Now, he can only rely on himself.
Fortunately, the goose-feather saber he had taken out earlier was still in his possession, and now he could only rely on this saber.
"Damn it, system, give me some response already..."
Gu Heng cursed under his breath, but since the system wasn't responding, he couldn't just stand there; he had to take action first.
Without lingering, he drew his goose-feather saber and began clearing a path.
I don't know how long I've been unconscious, but this place must be extremely dangerous, so I have to get out of here as soon as possible!
"Why is this place so dark..."
Gu Heng walked through the dense forest. The trees around him were tall and twisted, and not a ray of light could penetrate between the branches and leaves. The air was filled with the smell of decay. Every step he took felt like stepping on rotting flesh, making a slight "crunching" sound.
He brandished his knife, clearing a path through the gloomy, dense forest. He was surrounded by thick, towering trees, but Gu Heng couldn't sense any lush greenery. He casually glanced at the giant trees around him and found that although they looked quite robust, he could feel something terribly different inside and out...
decay!
This forest is probably "completely dead".
The bark and fallen leaves of these giant trees are tinged with a dark gray color, rather than a withered yellow, so they don't look like they died naturally.
As for why he felt this way, he couldn't explain it either.
As Gu Heng hacked at the dark and chilly place, he pondered in his mind.
He'd been dragged into a vortex by those two elusive guys, and now the system was acting up, knocking him unconscious. When he woke up, he was still completely disoriented...
"Let's try to get out first."
"Hopefully this forest won't be too wide."
Gu Heng took a deep breath and continued to clear a path with his sword!
……
I don't know how long I walked in this dead forest.
Gu Heng grew increasingly anxious as he walked, because no matter which way he went, he couldn't sense any light. Although the surrounding scenery was extremely gloomy, there were no strange things coming out to bother him.
Of course.
Gu Heng didn't think there were any living creatures in this place. In fact, he couldn't sense any vitality from the inside out. It would be strange if something weird came out of this kind of place!
of course.
This idea had barely been in his head for a few hours when reality slapped him hard in the face!
"Crack!"
The silence was broken.
Gu Heng was chopping down a crooked tree stump on the road when he heard a slight noise without warning.
But he didn't pay much attention to the noise.
He had driven for so long in this gloomy place and hadn't heard any strange noises, nor did he think anything unusual could happen.
Gu Heng continued to clear a path with his sword.
But that subtle sound appeared again!
This time the sound was quite loud.
Gu Heng looked up, wanting to see where the sound was coming from, and then... he was stunned.
Before him, a tall shadow slowly emerged. He stared wide-eyed at it and discovered that it was a humanoid machine! A mechanical creation!
It was a machine covered in rust, its main body tall and dilapidated, its rusty shell riddled with cracks, as if it might fall apart at any moment.
It looks just like this dead forest.
Its head has no facial features, only an empty circular groove that flickers with a faint red light, as if some residual energy is supporting its movement.
"How could something like this be found in this place?"
Gu Heng was puzzled, but more than that, he was wary. He dared not make any rash moves, but slowly retreated, trying to keep his distance from the machine.
However, the machine seemed to sense his presence, its hollow head turned towards him, and the frequency of its red light flashing suddenly increased.
Immediately afterwards, its body emitted a "crackling" metallic scraping sound, as if it was adjusting its posture and preparing to launch an attack!
"This is bad!" Gu Heng's heart tightened, and he immediately assumed a fighting stance!
Although he lost the system's assistance, the skills and strength he had developed would not disappear with the system. At least in terms of wielding a knife, Gu Heng was not worried that he would become rusty.
The machine seemed to be exerting all its strength, its arms flashing with sharp edges, as it charged straight at him!
This time.
Gu Heng didn't show any weakness either. The machine looked rusty and could be cut down with a single blow.
Without hesitation, seeing the machine charging towards him, Gu Heng immediately swung his sword backhand. It wasn't particularly precise, but he managed to cleave the machine diagonally in two!
Just as expected.
This rusty machine looks a bit scary, but it's actually completely broken.
He easily dispatched it with a single strike. Gu Heng quickly examined the mechanical wreckage, trying to find some useful clues.
However, the machine's interior was completely rotten, leaving nothing but a rusty metal shell... It was as if the machine had simply been abandoned there.
Gu Heng shook his head helplessly and continued walking forward.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Heng suddenly felt something strange about the ground beneath his feet. What he was stepping on was no longer mud and gray fallen leaves, but metal!
There is a play!
It seems this dense forest is coming to an end!
Gu Heng quickened his pace.
at last.
He left the forest, but what he saw next shocked Gu Heng greatly!
I walked for an unknown amount of time through the forest, which stood atop a towering mountain. Reaching the edge of the forest meant reaching the edge of a cliff...
But Gu Heng then discovered that this vast and dense forest was actually located on a "mountain" made of piled-up mechanical wreckage!
The place he was in was only a small part of this "mountain", and the height of the mountain was impossible to estimate!
Looking around, all you see are towering steel wrecks, densely packed and piled up like a forest, stretching downwards with no end in sight.
As for why this "mountain" stands here, and why there are so many mechanical wrecks, Gu Heng had no way of knowing. But this "mountain" made of steel and metal wreckage gave him an idea.
It seems... this is a garbage dump.
It could also be described as a "graveyard"!
