I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"Check the war puppets, remove the cores... don't fucking let the war puppets rebel..." Suddenly, with quick eyes and hands, he caught an ant robot charging towards the war puppets.

The mechanical arms composed the "ant's" six legs, and on its back was a chip-like thing, emitting a dim light.

"Is this purely material technology?"

"Be careful with these ant-like robots, don't breathe them in!"

All the soldiers were frantically shutting down the war puppets and removing the "Source Fire Stones" from within.

The tanks could be suppressed in case of a rebellion, being merely ordinary steel creations, but if the war puppets rebelled, that would be a big problem, with only Level 5 Grandmasters being able to contend with them!

Lower-level soldiers, even in hand-to-hand combat, wouldn't stand a chance!

Fortunately, Source Fire Technology was not just ordinary semiconductors; its core contained some Mind secrets, which, for the time being, were not deciphered by those ant robots.

But with just a slight touch, many "ants" escaped from the puppets.

"Hurry up and remove the puppet cores!!"

Jin Dongliang captured several more and put them into a bottle to study them in various ways. Their vitality was quite fragile; whether it was Spark, high temperature, or strong electrical currents, all could make them lose activity.

At this time, Sky City was a complete mess, with reports coming through the Opium poppy headset non-stop, "The factory has started to automatically produce hypnotic smoke," "Almost all industrial machines have rebelled," "All semiconductor computers are infected," "Tens of types of millimeter-level robots have been found."

Every piece of news was very bad, and Lu Yuan now also knew the situation was grim, especially as the millimeter-level robots seemed to have become ubiquitous, potentially numbering in the billions.

Fuck, what now?

"Isn't this the kind of tactic used by an interstellar civilization level in science fiction novels? How are we supposed to fight against such a civilization?"

Lu Yuan had already run to Green Mountain, where there weren't many ant robots, but he was literally sweating profusely as he listened to the situation reported by various soldiers.

This was definitely the most severe disaster in human history!

If not handled properly, none of them would see tomorrow's sun!

"Aowu aowu aowu!" The Little Mirage Dragon roared loudly on the side, detailing what it had seen.

It even exaggerated a bit, adding some of its own thoughts to the story.

When he heard that the citizens there never spoke and worked like robots, Lu Yuan felt an icy chill as if falling into an ice cave.

"Yes, the South Island Civilization is just a controlled civilization."

"If we were to fall... would we also be implanted with chips and turned into human breeding grounds?"

This voice, transmitted through the Opium poppy headset, was heard by experts and professors from various research institutes and military officers on the training grounds.

It was truly a terror like plunging into hell!

Not only was it about extinction, they would be farmed like pigs, and even the next generation would be implanted with chips, which is not much different from being in the abyss!

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: "Everyone, don't panic; this high-level civilization must have its weaknesses, such as being trapped in a certain relic."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't need to use the South Island Civilization to eliminate us."

"Let's raise Sky City first... don't let those submarines land, and then find the weaknesses of these millimeter robots and annihilate them all."

"There are many weaknesses; they lose activity at temperatures over a hundred degrees or below negative thirty degrees. But the problem is these things are hidden in nooks and crannies, without large-scale lethal weapons, it's difficult to completely annihilate them."

"Can Spirit Runes work?"

"We're still trying... it needs some time."

Green Mountain remains peaceful, while next door, Sky City is in complete chaos, mechanical internal strife, factories producing recklessly, civilians fleeing in emergency, a dense white fog fills the air, all of it being potent hypnotic gas.

In fact, the evacuation work had been going on for over an hour, but even at the fastest speed, many people had succumbed, falling to the ground twisted and bent, with ant robots crawling into their mouths...

This scene was so infuriating for the reinforcing soldiers that they sent the afflicted to the hibernation chambers in haste.

"They... Could it be that they want to capture us alive... Yes, the value of capturing us alive is much higher!"

"Be it Divine Skill or soul, only by capturing alive can they be seized!" Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

This is a war that must be won. To lose is to descend into hell!

"Commander Lu, we've found a type of micro-robots in the control center of the anti-gravity system that can destroy Spirit Crystals. If we recklessly ascend, the city might fall from the sky!"

"Then we can only... Please make sure to maintain the current drifting state at all costs!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan finally made his way to the Insect Race's territory, and these creatures were busily capturing robots on the ground, eating them with gusto like ants.

His eyes were as cold as the northern wind: "Don't think that just because the human city is paralyzed, we've lost our fighting capability."

"Killing you is as easy as slaughtering chickens!"

He growled with murderous intent: "Comrades, the food delivered to our doorstep is coming soon!"

The Insect Soldiers one by one climbed up from the ground, their eyes flashing with ferocious flames.

...

However, Lu Yuan didn't directly send the Insect Soldiers to Sky City.

The chaos in the city meant that these insects wouldn't be of much help; after all, they couldn't completely smash up their own machineries at home.

He was making a grim decision whether to sneak attack the enemy's headquarters with the "Sky Fortress," or to have a decisive battle right here.

"How are those who were knocked unconscious by the hypnotic gas?"

A voice of a medical expert came through the earpiece: "Report... Micro-robots have crawled into their cerebral cortex through their blood vessels. We used the Extraordinary Spark to destroy the chips attached to their brains."

"But the situation of these civilians may not be good; they can't wake up. Our understanding of the brain is far too scant."

"The rest of those paralyzed can only be put into hibernation chambers, we can't lightly destroy these chips. What I mean is... we must conquer this civilization and gain the corresponding biotechnology before we can possibly wake these people up."

"But this South Island Civilization might just be a puppet, there's another mastermind behind this war." Lu Yuan said somberly, "If we can't find this behind-the-scenes culprit, even if we defeat the enemy, it will be futile."

"That unknown High-level Relic..."

Silence fell among the people, as they genuinely had no idea where the High-level Civilization Relics were.

It might lie in some corner of a deep-sea trench that humans have not yet discovered.

"I'll go with you. My Treasure Eye will definitely find it, trust me... As long as there's the slightest wave of Mind, I'll be able to locate that relic!" Major Lu Ying of the Treasure Hunting Team said loudly.

Lu Yuan was silent, somewhat uneasy about leaving the humans behind. If the headquarters were lost, even if the enemy were annihilated, the victory would have little significance.

"Captain Lu, the enemy probably doesn't know that we still have the Opium poppy tree communication since the Ant Robots only target semiconductors and can't do anything to the Dream-constructed Green Grass Paradise."

"This might be a significant intelligence gap. The enemy might think we've lost communication and are in disarray, but they don't know that we actually have the capacity to organize."

"We'll hold our ground!" Jin Dongliang, Guo Dafeng, and several other officers pledged with determination.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan spoke: "At this point, we can only split our forces!"

"I'll lead the Insect Soldiers to take down the South Island Civilization and search for that damn relic! But you must hold the rear and not let the enemy capture us. Once our headquarters falls, it's all over..."

"To the death, we shall fulfill our mission!" everyone roared in unison through the earpiece.

"Old Cat, you're in charge of the overall command. Lu Ying, your entire Treasure Hunting Team, take your weapons with you and follow me; let's go meet that damn South Island Civilization."

"Yes!"
