Su Wan, dressed in night clothes, lay on the high slope and used binoculars to look down at the clone army that stretched out like a long snake.
The clone army marched in perfect unison, like a ceremonial guard, towards the capital of Southern Chu. Every face wore the same expression, devoid of fear or excitement; these guys seemed less like living beings and more like robots.
We must never allow such an army to occupy the world.
In order to deal with the endless clone army, she came up with a plan: a small number of elites would infiltrate the Cancer's cloning pods and try to destroy the cloning facilities.
The coalition only has a chance of winning if cloning facilities cannot produce an army.
She was a woman of action, decisive and efficient, and immediately left the city. Considering that a secret operation couldn't involve too many people, otherwise it would be easily discovered by the enemy, she only took three skilled fighters with her.
"Judging from their posture, they're going to launch another attack before going to bed," she put down her binoculars and turned to Wei Jingzhuo beside her with concern. "I wonder if Sister Chu and Prince Danma can hold out."
Wei Jingzhuo, also dressed in night clothes and with a defensive pistol hanging in front of his chest, said softly, "At times like these, we must trust Prince Danma."
To destroy the cloning pod, Su Wan had to go. Of everyone, she was the closest to the future; the others were completely clueless when faced with future technology. Wei Jingzhuo couldn't let her risk her life alone, so he naturally had to go along.
Su Wan turned around and said to Chu Yi and Meng Ruliu, who were checking their defensive guns behind her, "Actually, you two really didn't need to come. There's only Sister Chu and Prince Danma in the city. What if they can't hold it?"
Meng Ruliu turned her defensive pistol behind her back, picked up the armor-piercing spike, and said, "Isn't it only natural for my sworn sister to follow my sworn sister? I absolutely cannot let my sworn sister go to dangerous places by herself."
She found the armor-piercing awl very comfortable to use after using it, so she brought one with her this time.
Su Wan then looked at Chu Yi: "Brother Chu, why did you come along too?"
Chu Yi sheathed his curved sword at his waist, coughed, and said, "You have no martial arts skills whatsoever, and Jinzhi's arm is broken. How can we rely on Miss Meng alone? I have high martial arts skills and am in good health..."
Su Wan said, "Okay, okay, we'll enter through the gap in the crab's leg."
They were right next to the crab's right hind leg, about a hundred meters from the entrance.
Chu Yi said, "I went in before, I'll lead the way."
The four of them slipped past the clone army and stealthily approached the crab's right hind leg. Chu Yi leaped onto the gap first and reached down, saying, "Jinzhi."
Wei Jingzhuo stood below, stretched out his left hand to Su Wan and said, "Awan, step on my hand and climb up."
Su Wan first stepped on Wei Jingzhuo's hand, and Wei Jingzhuo pushed her up with one hand. Then Su Wan reached up to Chu Yi's hand, and Chu Yi pulled her up through the gap. Next was Meng Ruliu.
After Su Wan and Meng Ruliu went up, Wei Jingzhuo took a deep breath and leaped onto the gap as well.
Once inside, Su Wan first glanced at the surrounding metal walls, then her gaze fell on the long metal ladder in front of her.
Chu Yi waved to the group from the ladder: "Climb up, there's a room at the crab's joint."
Meng Ruliu, being impatient, climbed up the ladder first. Next was Su Wan, and Wei Jingzhuo was last.
After climbing seven or eight floors, Su Wan felt hungry. She hooked her arm around the ladder and took a pastry from the apartment with her other hand. Just as she was about to eat it, she heard a loud turning sound of gears overhead. Then the metal ladder suddenly tilted, and the entire space, carrying everyone, rose higher up.
"The Cancer has started walking," she quickly reminded him. "Hold on tight to the ladder."
With a loud bang, it was the sound of a giant crab's leg hitting the ground. Su Wan was so shocked that her hands felt like they had been electrocuted, and she immediately let go of the ladder.
Meng Ruliu, who was above her, had been on guard all along. She squatted down and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Sister, be careful."
"Let's climb up quickly," Chu Yi called out, "We'll be fine once we get to the top room."
The four of them hurriedly climbed and finally entered the room where the Cancer joint was located, and sat down against the wall.
Su Wan felt as if she were sitting on the floor of a ship, which was being tossed about by waves. The floor rose up, as if a giant crab was raising its legs, and then the crab's legs stepped on the ground. The intense vibrations made her feel like she was flying, and then she landed hard on her bottom.
She said, "This big crab can walk again, and its destination is definitely the capital of Southern Chu."
Although the walls of the Southern Chu capital were thick, they couldn't withstand the destruction caused by the Cancer. Once the Cancer breached the walls, the clone army would storm into the city and begin a massacre. The clone army had vowed to exterminate everyone.
Wei Jingzhuo asked, "A-Wan, what should we do?"
"I'll think of a way." After saying that, Su Wan looked at the screen on the wall and listened to the loud noise of gears turning behind the wall.
One of the screens caught her eye. She grabbed a protrusion on the wall and moved over to look. Sure enough, the screen showed the situation in front of the crab's right hind leg.
On the screen, she could occasionally see the capital of Southern Chu flash by, which she estimated to be about seven or eight miles away.
This is the joint area of the Cancer crab. If it's destroyed, will the Cancer crab be unable to move?
Although Cancer has four legs, if one of its legs malfunctions, it will definitely affect its movement.
She pressed herself against the wall, listening intently to the sound of gears turning behind it. Once she found the spot where the gears were turning most densely, she called out to Chu Yi, "Brother Chu, come here."
Chu Yi got up, leaned against the wall, and walked over, saying, "What do you need me to do?"
"Use your scimitar to break through this wall immediately."
Wei Jingzhuo had told her about his duel with Jiang Li. Given Jiang Li's body, which had been treated with the secret medicine, the fact that Chu Yi's curved blade could still cut off his right arm meant it was certainly sharp enough to cut through a wall.
