Chapter 78

Even if they couldn't occupy this place, they couldn't leave empty-handed. They should take whatever they could carry, as much as they could. Not to mention, the wealth here alone could allow their guild to develop rapidly in a short time. £∝

Although they might have missed the Sky City, with money, what base couldn't they buy?

Finding a prosperous large area to develop peacefully would also be good.

To truly make the guild grow, a good base was crucial.

Every flying vehicle was piled high with various treasures. If not for the need to carry people, they would have taken even more. Even with restraint, the flying vehicles could hardly fly for long.

They had already flown a long distance, and under the overload, it was already impressive that they could land safely in the sea below. Flying? More like sailing!

After they finished all this, the raging tornado had become very weak. Frowning, Chen Kai made a decision, "Xiaohu, you and the others go first. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things. Remember to come back for us later."

While loading the treasures, he had already notified the other members of the guild. Flying vehicles were hard to come by, but some boats could be arranged. They planned to transport the treasures down first and find a place to hide them.

Wang Xiaohu thought for a moment and nodded directly. The situation now made it unrealistic to occupy the Sky City. Without even finding the entrance, how could they occupy it? It was better to leave decisively after getting enough rewards!

To avoid conflicts with those who came later, once a conflict occurred, it would be difficult for them to take so much away.

The flying vehicle, which had just restarted, started to fall after a short flight. The pilot barely managed to control it to prevent the descent from turning into a dive.

The players on the flying vehicle, who had no place to stand, quickly inflated the safety airbags they had brought. Wang Xiaohu was quite glad they had prepared these things.

These were prepared to ensure safety in case the flying vehicle crashed.

Now, without the threat of a crash, they were used for a more important purpose.

Otherwise, relying solely on the buoyancy of the flying vehicle, it would be difficult to float on the sea.

After falling into the sea, Wang Xiaohu stared at the massive tornado surrounding them. The tornado had weakened to the point where only a wind circle remained. A several-hundred-meter-long flying warship was parked in the center of the Sky City. As the warship approached, the tornado weakened even faster. If Chen Kai hadn't decisively ordered them to head for the sea, they wouldn't have made it.

If they had been a bit later, they would have been intercepted! As for the interception method, just look at the continuous cannon fire from the warship!

The players who followed later were in a terrible situation. The flying vehicles were not high-quality, and with the cannonballs flying over, there was no chance to dodge. They were directly blown apart, and only a few lucky ones managed to avoid the cannon fire and land on the Sky City.

They had been happy when the tornado disappeared.

"We need to leave quickly, don't get discovered."

After glancing at the sky, Wang Xiaohu immediately gave the order. This was not the time to watch a show.

"What... is this situation?"

Chen Kai was speechless as he watched the young man and woman who had fallen in front of them on gliders.

"Delivery of corpses with equipment?"

Zheng Chen looked at the players who were falling into the sea like dumplings under the bombardment of cannon fire and said, thinking of a term he had seen in a book... The book was not a document but just a regular novel.

In any case, those falling players would either be killed or suffer greatly. This wasn't a movie; falling from such a height was almost certain death.

"...Impressive." Chen Kai said, pulling the corners of his mouth. But they weren't dead yet!

"Eh? Big Brother Zheng?" Balu rubbed his sore head, hearing the conversation and immediately looked over. "Why are you here?"

"On someone's behalf." Zheng Chen replied calmly, and Balu couldn't help but look at Chen Kai.

"You're here for the Sky City too!?" Hida, who was next to Balu, also stared at him with caution. Chen Kai smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit unfair.

Why was he the only one being hostile?

"Let's go!" Noticing the scattered flying vehicles approaching, Zheng Chen cut the ropes binding Balu and Hida and said, "To the greenhouse!"

The players on the flying vehicles also noticed them and quickly approached as they descended.

Despite many questions, with people chasing them, Balu and Hida suppressed their doubts and ran with Zheng Chen toward the greenhouse garden.

"Have you been here long?" Hida asked, puzzled by Zheng Chen's direct route.

"For a while."

"Uh!? How did you survive the tornado!?" Balu was surprised. He hadn't seen any flying vehicles nearby.

Zheng Chen glanced at him, didn't say much, and walked directly into the greenhouse garden. As they entered, a gardener robot walked out, turned its head to observe Balu and Hida, and then made a stop gesture to the approaching flying vehicles.

"Shouldn't we deal with them?" Chen Kai asked, following Zheng Chen. With Zheng Chen's abilities, dealing with those players should be easy, or perhaps he wanted to lure them in and use the greenhouse garden's terrain?

Or maybe he wanted to find the Holy War Angel and wipe out these players with one sword?

"No need."

As Zheng Chen spoke, gunshots rang out outside the greenhouse.

The gardener robot, blocking the entrance to the greenhouse garden, looked at the bullet holes in its chest. The bullets were deflected, though it wasn't damaged, it triggered another meaning.

These people came with destructive intentions... Its purpose was to maintain this place, and during maintenance, it also had the instruction to receive visitors and drive away lawbreakers!

The lights on the gardener robot's face flashed rapidly!

Hearing the sudden dense gunfire outside, Chen Kai became even more puzzled. "Should I go check?"

Zheng Chen didn't say anything. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and left a message to meet up later before turning back. The scene outside made him freeze, followed by a sense of relief!

He was relieved that they hadn't used forceful means when they first arrived. Around the gardener robot, several robots with different arms appeared, clearly for combat!

Beams of light shot out from the large holes in the heads of these robots. Whether it was people or flying vehicles, being hit meant instant death, ruthless and merciless!

"Of course... the gardener robot would be so calm." Chen Kai muttered, calm for a reason, with high-end guards lurking nearby, who would dare to act recklessly!

Those who acted recklessly became roasted meat!

Indeed, those hit by the robot soldiers' beams didn't even bleed; they instantly turned into charred remains, with the excess blood evaporating in the high temperature, clean and spotless!

After watching for a while, Chen Kai left the entrance to the greenhouse garden. The battle was already over; the players' current firearms couldn't harm these robot soldiers. Perhaps artillery could, but who could bring it?

So... not only was this place rich in wealth, but the weapons were also so powerful. It was a pity not to seize the opportunity...

Pity...

Shaking his head, Chen Kai, who had just left, heard a distinctly different thud behind him. Surprised, he turned back to see a robot soldier fall straight to the ground. There was no damage to its body, but a hole had been shot through the part of its head that emitted the beam, with sparks coming out.

"Sniper rifle!?"

The robot soldiers' defense was strong, but not all parts were. The head was clearly a weak point, though ordinary bullets couldn't cause damage, a more powerful rifle could.

The gardener robot looked at the fallen, combat-inactive robot soldier. The light on its head flashed rapidly again, and it raised an arm to shield its head. The next moment, a bullet hit the gardener robot's arm.

The deformed bullet fell to the ground, and the gardener robot's arm had a small dent.

Then, several spherical robot soldiers shot out from nearby storage and quickly unfolded in the air, making the players feel a headache. Damn, reinforcements!

Seeing this, Chen Kai pulled the corners of his mouth. It was indeed wrong to act recklessly on someone else's home turf. With these robot soldiers appearing one after another, even with more people, they would be overwhelmed. He wondered if they had violated any taboos while excavating the treasure... Uh, they hadn't been attacked, and they hadn't damaged anything, so it should be fine.

When Chen Kai returned, he looked helplessly at Zheng Chen sitting under a giant tree. This guy had clearly anticipated this situation. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't resist his curiosity and walked over. "Hey, what about that pendant you have? I found a special emblem in the lower level."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Chen guiltily. Seeing that Zheng Chen didn't say anything, he continued.

However, Hida's answer made Chen Kai pause. What the hell, losing that thing? After asking a few more questions, he became clearer about some things.

The flying stone indeed had a significant connection to this place. They found this place based on the beam emitted by the activated flying stone. The military warship could find them for the same reason. Hida had been captured, and the lost flying stone was most likely in the hands of the military.
