The sudden ignition of Qiao Yimu's body startled the group, who screamed and ran away. Even the superhuman was taken aback by the scene.
No one knows how Qiao Yimu suddenly died or how he suddenly burst into flames.
This bizarre scene made everyone present's hearts race. If their leader was dead, how far were they from death?
What strange thing happened at the factory?
Or is it that some superhumans are hiding in the shadows, preparing to kill them one by one?
Qiao Yimu's men were completely overwhelmed and had fallen apart. Some ran away, some panicked, and a few, not seeing the machines in the factory clearly while running, crashed into them and were instantly turned into mincemeat.
Yes, literally minced meat!
It was as if a mysterious force was slowly eroding them.
The factory wants to devour any human being in it, whether they have superpowers or are ordinary people.
The crowd screamed again. By then, Qiao Yimu's body had been completely burned.
The light disappeared again.
Qiao He led his team to retreat to another location immediately. The place was too chaotic, and they were mainly worried that the group might trigger something dangerous in the panic, which could anger the factory.
Qiao He's concerns were not unfounded. After they left, the group of people who were frantically trying to escape were all enveloped by the conveyor belt on the assembly line.
The factory seemed to come alive at that moment, accepting all orders regardless of age or gender.
Screams rose and fell, and almost instantly, those who had not yet escaped were swept up by the conveyor belt and slowly transported into the cutting machine with its gaping black maw.
Click, click!
The smell of blood filled the air, and the corpse was screaming. After a while, the screams and groans in the darkness gradually disappeared until finally, all was quiet.
Hearing so many screams, Qiao He's heart sank instantly.
Qiao Yimu had a few capable men, but they were completely powerless against the factory's attack, which meant that the factory's strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Moreover, this factory is extremely well-hidden; it's unclear why it suddenly transformed from an ordinary factory into what it is now.
Could it be because many people with superpowers have gathered here?
It sensed the energy and slowly awoke, wanting to devour Qiao He and the others.
Thinking of this, Qiao He's eyes turned cold; they had to find a way out quickly.
Just then, Wang Chengye suddenly said, "Don't rush! Let me build a safe house first. We should try not to touch anything in the factory—the machines, doors, windows, walls, even any chairs or tables. I suspect the factory floor will awaken in a little while!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chengye conjured up a building out of thin air. It was a bare shell, with layers upon layers of reinforced concrete. It actually looked a lot like an air-raid shelter. Moreover, the building was very thick, so even if the factory moved its machines, it wouldn't be able to touch them immediately.
Judging from the people who died before, without exception, it was because they touched something inside the factory.
Therefore, Qiao He believes that touching the factory is the first step for it to achieve its goal of eating people.
Just like the Venus flytrap, it will only eat when its prey enters its cage.
A factory is an inanimate object, even more "dead" than a plant, so it naturally cannot directly capture its prey like an animal.
Everyone entered Wang Chengye's "safe house," panting heavily, as they were indeed exhausted from running.
Wang Chengye narrowed his eyes slightly. His safe house could sense changes in the outside world, and he would inform everyone if anything happened.
"It's safe for now. Let me tell you about the factory. After I came in, I worked and memorized the general route of the factory, as well as the location of the large machines, etc."
After saying that, Wang Chengye looked at Qiao He and asked her, "Do you have paper and pen? I'll draw it out for everyone to see. It will be much easier if we have a map."
Qiao He immediately took out paper and pen, which she had prepared in her space.
Wang Chengye quickly drew a simple factory floor plan on it, and then said, "Our current location is relatively safe, because the loading area here is also a small warehouse."
“There isn’t much around, but we still don’t know how to break this deadlock and get out of here.” Wang Chengye frowned slightly.
Qiao He stared at the map for a while, then pondered, "Currently, the windows, iron doors, and walls all possess a powerful force. I'm afraid we can't get out of here through normal channels."
"Let's try attacking this wall first. Once we break through it, we can get out of here," Qiao He said in a low voice. Then she prepared to summon the paper doll to attack the wall in her place.
Unexpectedly, Bo Shiwu suddenly spoke up, saying, "I'll attack. You guys be careful of your surroundings."
Although there aren't any terrifying machines in the small warehouse, the factory's capabilities are far too strange, so it's best to be careful.
Qiao He said, "I'll go. My paper doll can go out."
Bo Shiwu said, "I'll do it. My ability allows me to attack from a distance."
“If it’s a touch, then your paper doll going there would be like you hitting a wall, and I’m worried you’ll be sucked into the factory because of it.”
You should know that the people who had previously touched things inside the factory all died in very gruesome and bizarre ways.
Qiao He sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "I know, you go first, and stop immediately if anything seems wrong."
Bo Shiwu hummed in response. He expressionlessly unleashed his psychic power, as if two hands had coalesced into a giant fist, and the air itself seemed to distort due to this power.
Bang--!
A loud bang rang out as the wall was fiercely attacked by the thin mist.
However, it was as if it had hit a rubber band. The elasticity was exceptional. The wall initially deformed violently, but eventually released the same force and returned to its original state, without the slightest trace of being hit.
Shen Huai cursed under his breath, "How could this be! Boss Bo's strength is already immense, how could... not a single scratch be left?"
Qiao He said in a low voice, "That's probably what makes the factory so amazing."
“Any attack that hits it can be instantly neutralized by the deformation of the walls,” Bo Shiwu said thoughtfully. He hadn’t expected the factory to be so difficult to deal with.
This mutated factory is even more difficult to deal with than superhumans.
