Chapter 72 Urgent Mission



Harry Joe and the other three were covered in mud and wounds, their eyes full of fear, and they looked very miserable. No one knew what they had been through. Liv quickly treated their wounds.

I looked at them provocatively and said, "What's wrong with you? Even carrying out such a small mission has turned out like this. I feel like you've just watched a horror movie, Harry Joe."

Harry Joe still couldn't recover from the shock. The mechanical arms on the Yata next to him were all broken, and there was a blood-stained cloth mask on her mouth. She looked like a spider, but with that mask on, she felt like a police dog. She was a female construct, which looked very strange.

Yata coughed and said, "Those humanoid infected bodies are all recently missing constructs, as well as many of the city's former service robots. Their faces are terrifying, as if they suffered a great shock before their death. Their facial expressions are extremely distorted and terrifying. And as you just saw, as soon as they see a living construct or human, they will immediately pounce on them. They won't kill them immediately, but will drag them to the church in the middle. When they come out, they will become like them."

I listened to Yatagarasu's trembling narration, and the expressions of Harry Joe and Simon who were frightened to the point of despair, so I stopped provoking them. Soon, the spaceship arrived at the tent on the East Plain.

The entire city has resumed construction, with robots of all sizes carrying construction materials. There are basically no humans to be seen. It is estimated that many of the remaining humans on the earth were killed or injured in the last disaster.

The staff of the Sky Garden quickly helped all three members of the Scarab Team down. I was just about to walk into the hatch and go back to resolve the situation.

Harry Joe suddenly called me. I turned around and looked at him in surprise. Harry Joe said weakly, "Be careful."

I nodded to him and returned to the spaceship. Karenina restarted the spaceship and flew towards the city of Maria (now Myanmar, Guangxi, Yunnan, and parts of Sichuan).

I thought about what Yata said: "According to what they mean, those monsters will capture constructs and humans and drag them into the church to do something. Could it be a mental attack?"

Li: "I guess so. I've built a firewall over everyone's sea of ​​consciousness, which should be able to block mental attacks."

Karenina used the searchlight on the spacecraft to look for the so-called church. The city was just outside Kowloon City. I could even see the abandoned city walls of Kowloon City.

After a while, Karenina found the church, released a decoy bomb not far away, and then stopped the spacecraft above the church. We quickly jumped from the flying car to the church.

As a result, the entire roof of the church almost collapsed. This church is probably the largest building in the entire city. There are buildings taller than it, but basically all of them collapsed. Only this church looks relatively intact on the outside, so it is the strangest thing.

I immediately moved to the outside of the church fence and said to Karenina, "That proves that the monster here has a special feeling for this church. Since he's hiding inside and won't come out, let's force him out."

Lucia: "Commander, you want it."

I smiled and said, "That's right! Destroy this place and force this guy out. Now's the time for your bomb to appear, Karenina."

Karenina said excitedly, "Commander, I just happened to have a new bomb and I need to test it. I'll start with you."

Karenina stood at the door of the church. The angel statue next to it was also covered by black corrosion. Karenina excitedly blasted open the church door, and then took out a small three-layer Rubik's Cube from the pocket next to her. Karenina lightly pressed the middle square of the Rubik's Cube, and the whole Rubik's Cube began to rotate rapidly, floated in the air and automatically rushed into the church.

Kalini turned his back and counted: "Three, two..."

I saw the Rubik's Cube flying back quickly through the darkness. I quickly shot out the steel rope to drag Karenina back. Liv immediately put up the shield, and Liv released the ion wall on the shield. Lucia protected me under her body, and Karenina was also held in my arms.

The rapidly spinning Rubik's Cube suddenly exploded not far from the church entrance. The huge impact force directly blew away the fence around the church, and the scorching flames hit our protective wall.

After an unknown amount of time, the impact finally stopped. We dropped our defenses and looked at the flames rising into the sky around us. The front third of the church was directly blown up, leaving a huge hole in front of the church.

Karenina stood up from my arms: "What happened? How did the Rubik's Cube suddenly fly back by itself?"

I looked at the crashed spaceship next to me, covered my face and said, "Oh my god, this is all my fault. Damn it, the spaceship is destroyed too. I'm done. I'm going to be scolded again! Hurry up and ask headquarters to send another spaceship over."

Karenina said disdainfully: "Tsk, I don't want that crappy spaceship anymore. It's so slow and has poor firepower."

Liv said embarrassedly, "But that spaceship is for public use. If we damage it, we have to pay for it."

Lucia said seriously, "Then let's complete the mission first. Maybe it will be considered a great achievement, and we won't have to pay compensation to the Sky Garden."

Li: "But we have to go into the church. To be honest, it's really gloomy in here."

I used my helmet's magnifying glass to look at a human corpse hanging from a cross in the center of the church. I couldn't help but sweat as I said, "Yeah, it feels like I'll be skinned alive if I go in there. But there's nothing I can do. I guess they're just putting on an act."

So I took the initiative to jump over the explosion hole first, and Lucia and the others quickly followed. I carefully observed the damaged appearance of the church, but did not find anything.

We walked into the middle of the church carefully and found that there was not only one human corpse in the middle of the church, but a row of bones were neatly arranged on both arms of the church. However, on the cross in the middle of the church, it seemed that you could still see the face of one of the corpses, as if it had been embalmed.

Does this corpse have any special significance? What exactly is this monster connected to the Ascendant?
