Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 134 - What the Hell Is This?



Chapter 134: What the Hell Is This?

The strange sound still persisted. In the small town…

Barker used his smart device to send the information he had just heard to the God of War Peter. After doing all of this, Cinthya was still talking about her experiences.

“I’ve lived in the Paleolithic Plains since I was a child until it later turned into a desert. Over the years, I’ve experienced many sandstorms, but I’ve never heard such a sound. If this is a beetle, it must be very large. If it isn’t, it’s even harder to say what it will be.”

It seemed like the experiences that Barker had previously shared made Cinthya feel a sense of familiarity.

“I’ve been in this abandoned town for many years, but I’ve never heard such a sound before.”

“When did this sound start appearing?”

“Not long after Washington Base City fell, this sound often appeared during sandstorms. However, it doesn’t appear every time.”

Barker felt the need to check on this as he walked towards the outskirts of the town.

“I’ll go to the outskirts of the town to take a look. I’ll build a sand wall first.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“There’s no need for that. You should arrange for the people in town first.”

Not long after Barker had left, Peter also left the house. His target was also the outskirts of the town.

Peter reached the outermost edge of the town and crouched on his side, pressing his hands against the ground. Gradually, the wind around the stone wall began to weaken. Only the wind from high above drove the air currents below, which swirled between the stone wall and the houses.

Peter pushed aside the thick layer of sand that had settled under his feet and lay on the ground. Then, he pressed his ear to the ground and listened intently.

“What exactly is this noise? It seems to be approaching this place.”

Beside Peter was Donna. She had been brought out by Peter and had become his follower.

Donna saw Peter crawling on the ground and imitated him, listening to the strange sound.

“I’ve heard this sound before.”

Peter looked up at her sideways. “How have you heard this sound before? Do you know what this is?”

Donna tilted her head and looked mischievously at Peter, who was lying on the ground.

“That’s because you’ve never been to this area.”

“The scouts sent by the Mechanical Holy City heard a strange sound east of the Washington Base City. I’ve also been there myself. Every time a sandstorm blew, this sound would appear. It’s almost the same as what I’m hearing now.”

Peter heard the reason for Donna’s analysis and couldn’t help but feel envious of the girl in front of him. As the Locke family, which was the largest family in the base city, she could obtain information that many people couldn’t.

This was the foundation of a large family. It was also one of the reasons why they could control the base city and prosper forever.

“Could this be related to Washington Base City?”

Donna gave the God of War Peter an affirmative answer.

“My family has also confirmed this. It’s indeed related to Washington Base City.”

“But this place is far from Washington Base City and is separated by a river from the Holy City. Why would this sound appear in an abandoned town?”

“Could it be a smart mecha?”

Peter was right to think this way. This was because Professor Eugene had previously checked the files on the missing Genetic Warriors in the past few years. He had a bold guess that the missing Genetic Warriors in the base city remained in the records of the base city. This meant that they had been secretly transferred elsewhere. As for the mysterious method that had been used, it was very likely that they had used an underground tunnel.

At this moment, Donna continued to analyze the situation.

“According to what I know, among the three armies belonging to the Mechanical Holy City. However, none of their mechas can escape underground.”

“Even the other armies in the Mechanical Holy City have never used such a mecha.”

“Then what exactly is it?” Peter stood up and looked back at the abandoned town in the vast yellow sand. He couldn’t help but worry.

Donna saw through his thoughts and said, “Since this isn’t the first time this sound has appeared, it probably won’t pose a threat to the abandoned town.”

“I hope so.”

Peter wanted to activate the power of his genes and break through the ground to find the tunnel hidden underground. However, he was worried that Donna would be alone, and was afraid that she would be in danger. Thus, he could only look at the girl.

“Let’s go back.”

Just as the two of them approached the old city wall of the abandoned town, a loud bang suddenly sounded from below the stone wall at the end of the periphery, followed by another sound.

Meanwhile, Barker, who was in another direction, also heard the sound. Then, he turned around.

He immediately activated the genetic power in his body and ran in the direction of the stone wall.

As he headed towards the source of the sound, the loud noise from the collision disappeared again. After a moment, it became quiet. However, not long after, there was the sound of soil cracking. These sounds were mixed with the sandstorm and produced deafening sounds.

At this moment, a dense collection of sounds came from outside the black stone wall. It sounded like many steel claws scratching the stone wall as they climbed up.

Barker immediately stopped and turned around to press his hands against the ground. In the blink of an eye, black rocks intersected and broke out of the ground around him, extending towards the old city wall of the abandoned town. The broken buildings were under the control of the black rocks that shot into the sky. Some of the buildings collapsed, while wooden planks and pillars from the buildings flew in the wind.

At this moment, amber lights appeared on the outermost stone wall. The light spots were faintly discernible in the flying sand and suddenly fell from high above.

In an instant, loud noises sounded one after another.

“They’re here.”

Barker stared intently at the amber light spots. As his emotions began to show signs of nervousness, the violent genetic power in his body began to feel a little uncontrollable. This had never happened before. He really wanted to find the God of War Peter and ask him if he felt this way.

However, the abnormality ahead prevented him from escaping for the time being.

Barker wanted to use the light of the fire to see what those amber lights were. However, in the next moment, layers of sand rose from the sand in front of him. Soon, those amber lights disappeared into the violent sand.

“They went underground again?”

As Barker spoke, he jumped back and forth between the two rows of black rocks. Then, he stood on the top of one of the black rocks and made the flame dragon move between the black rocks below. Then, he used the flame to see what was happening below.

At this moment, Peter was with Donna. The two of them were standing on a huge black stone, quietly looking at their surroundings.

Peter looked in Donna’s direction.

“Once they appear, I’ll hold them back. Look closely at what they are…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a large amount of sand was dug out from the ground in front of him. The intertwined black rocks loosened and fell one after another, just like a domino. Then, the fallen rocks smashed into the huge rocks behind them. At the moment when the huge rocks fell one after another, the shattered rocks fell and landed in the rolling sand. In the blink of an eye, there was already chaos ahead.

“Don’t leave the black stone!”

After instructing Donna, Peter jumped from one black stone to another and ran towards the waves of sand rushing towards him.
