Chapter 84

The dense vines that had spread everywhere were completely reduced to ashes in less than two minutes, leaving only Xia Ya lying on the ground. At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, her face pale, and her expression one of pain.

The inhibitor was specifically designed to counter the Holy War Angels. Even with her monstrous physique, an excessive dose left her in intense pain even after she returned to normal.

"Alright!" Zheng Chen glanced at the robots gathering around and said indifferently, picking up Xia Ya. The robot soldiers, receiving his command, dispersed but did not leave, instead patrolling nearby. They would continue to do so until the Sky City returned to peace.

Some gardener robots also came out, each carrying materials to repair the damage.

"Xia Ya!"

Seeing Xia Ya brought back by Zheng Chen, Lei couldn't help but call out, tightly gripping her hand. "Is she okay...?"

"She's fine." Zheng Chen nodded. As long as the inhibitor's effects didn't wear off, Xia Ya would remain weak even if she woke up, but she wouldn't be in danger. Absorbing the life force of the giant tree had further enhanced her strength, and Zheng Chen wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing.

Everything would have to wait until she woke up.

With the presence of the robot soldiers, the players who remained here didn't dare make any big moves. As night fell, they saw that the robot soldiers showed no signs of attacking, so they gathered in small groups and began to relay information to each other.

Clearly, today's game forums would be on fire again!

Xia Ya's transformation, which was like an SS-rank event, was witnessed up close by the players. There was nothing to say—she was unbeatable. Hundreds of robot soldiers capable of firing powerful laser beams couldn't even match her, and her instant recovery ability made their jaws drop.

This monster girl was practically invincible... Not only could she eat people, but she also had such a recovery ability!? She was even stronger than before!

Chen Kai couldn't help but chuckle after receiving a private message from Wang Xiaohu. They had already met up with the support personnel, and even without obtaining the Sky City, they were the biggest beneficiaries!

Seeing Xia Ya, who still hadn't woken up, he tugged at the corner of his mouth and moved away slightly, feeling a bit dangerous being too close.

On the other side, an old woman with twin pigtails was laughing to the sky, facing a pile of treasures and a group of subordinates. "We're rich!! We don't have to do anything else after this!!"

Dora, holding a diamond that emitted a dazzling light, was almost laughing out loud. Coming to the Sky City was partly for Hilda, but also for wealth!

"Hilda, are you going to stay here?" After her excitement, Dora looked at Hilda, who was chatting with Baru.

Hilda shook her head. "No, I also plan to leave. The Sky City shouldn't continue to exist."

Dora nodded. She had also witnessed the power of the Sky City's super weapons, which were beyond terrifying.

If it fell into the hands of an ambitious person, it would bring conflict and disaster.

As for Zheng Chen, he was terrifying and should not be provoked.

The way to leave was simple. The robot soldiers of the Sky City had the ability to fly and could directly carry the people on board back to the ground. After returning to the land, the Sky City was hard to spot in the night sky. After a brief stop, once the robot soldiers returned to the Sky City, the glowing flight stone in Hilda's hand began to dim.

"Uh... come back in three days?" Chen Kai looked at the Sky City quickly leaving under the cover of night, feeling a bit conflicted. A controllable Sky City was a strategic fortress, and its speed was unmatched.

After he and Dora's group were sent down, Zheng Chen didn't come down but stayed on the Sky City, presumably to do something.

It must be related to the Sky City. The most pressing matter now was to deal with the wealth brought back from the Sky City!

"Stay here." Zheng Chen gently said to Lei, who was accompanying Xia Ya, then went back to the control room with Hilda. The control room had a large projection screen, not showing the environment of the Sky City but the ground.

Since the Sky City had powerful ground-attack weapons, it naturally had a locking system. "Is this really a good idea?"

After coming here, Hilda couldn't help but ask Zheng Chen again. Her method was to let the Sky City fly to the highest peak in the sky, making it difficult to approach. Zheng Chen directly rejected her idea.

"It's better than flying in the sky."

Zheng Chen said indifferently. It was better to hide the Sky City on the ground than to let it fly around aimlessly!

Find a desolate place, dig a large hole, and bury the Sky City there, leaving only the upper layer exposed... In the future, even if someone found it, they would think it was some strange ruin.

As for the rest, he found some information in the data room and translated it with the translation manual. Zheng Chen learned that the robots here were very comprehensive, including gardener robots, maintenance robots, combat robots, and construction robots. After most of the Sky City was buried underground, the construction robots could change the internal structure of the Sky City.

It didn't need to be too complicated; just completely seal off the lower layer!

As for the time, Zheng Chen didn't have much, and Hilda and Baru were orphans, so moving to a new place wasn't a big issue.

With the help of these robots, they wouldn't starve, and their safety was not a concern.

Finding a desolate place, they thoroughly explored the area and confirmed that there was no one within hundreds of miles. The stone pillars on the lower hemisphere of the Sky City gathered lightning, and even at low power, they easily left a large, deep mark on the ground, though the depth and width were insufficient.

Immediately, a second, more powerful Laputa lightning strike fell! Through the large crater, as the Sky City descended, it became a special slot, specifically designed to carry the descending Sky City.

Although there were marks from the strikes, the robots could slowly handle them. Time would smooth everything out, and after some time, the marks would disappear.

Xia Ya only woke up the next day, earlier than Zheng Chen had expected. After waking up, she was in a dazed state, possibly a side effect of her rampage. They would wait and see if she could recover... If she didn't, Zheng Chen was at a loss.

He wasn't a doctor.

"Goodbye!"

The Sky City also had small flying vehicles. Although their structure was different from airships, Zheng Chen, with his driving experience, figured out how to use them in half a day. Compared to the flying vehicles on this continent, Laputa's flying vehicles were undoubtedly more advanced. As expected, their power source was also a flight stone, similar to the patterned blocks, but with a separate control system.

This flying vehicle was much smaller than an airship. After three people sat inside, there was hardly any room to move.

"Goodbye!!" Hilda shouted at the flying vehicle as it left.

Although Zheng Chen's impression in the Sky City wasn't great, his help was undeniable.

On the flying vehicle, Zheng Chen quietly read a thin book. The Laputa flying vehicle was easy to operate, with an automatic navigation system. After setting the route, he didn't need to do much.

This book was copied during his free time over the past two days, containing information about flight stones. Zheng Chen had a refined flight stone, and although its purity was unknown compared to the large flight stone in the Sky City, its effectiveness was not in doubt...

Yes, compared to the size of the large flight stone, there was no doubt.

Even if it was very powerful, it was useless if it couldn't be used. Therefore, during his free time, Zheng Chen looked up some related information in the Laputa data room. Fortunately, he was only interested in flight stones, and with the help of the translation manual, he could find some information despite the language barrier.

For example, the flight stone Hilda carried was also very pure, but it contained other substances, making it less pure than the large flight stone.

The technology involved was quite advanced, and replication was out of the question. Zheng Chen wasn't interested in that; he just needed to find a way to influence the flight stone. He didn't require much, just a certain degree of control.

The book recorded methods to suppress the levitation effect of the flight stone and to significantly enhance it. Both required special materials to create. According to the records, this method of controlling the flight stone was quite primitive compared to the current technology that could freely control the flight stone's movement. For Zheng Chen, with his patterned skills, the implementation was not difficult.

This was enough. More importantly, the materials, though rare, were not hard to find.

When they returned to the mining town, many players had already left. The Sky City had flown away, and staying here was meaningless. Many players had also been disappointed by the Sky City incident.

Upon returning, some players only showed a bit of surprise when they saw Zheng Chen and then deliberately avoided him. When they saw the emblem on the flying vehicle, they showed some interest.

This flying vehicle must have come from the Sky City. He... knew the current location of the Sky City!
