After leaving the warehouse, Qi Yuan controlled the two automatons to walk together with Ajiu. The three Type 6 automatons pretended to be sentries, swaggering through the ruins, while Qi Yuan hid in the shadows, secretly following.
Although these automatons were different from the sentries, the difference was not great. Qi Yuan believed that even if he encountered Slayer, he might not be able to discover anything.
Ajiu was like a curious child, leading the two automatons around the area. Only then did she realize that the ruins were much larger than she had imagined.
"Why is this place so big?!
And it doesn't look like a ruin at all. "Ajiu could not help but ask in a low voice.
"There's a problem with the space here." Qi Yuan controlled the automatons to say.
Ajiu looked around curiously. Not long after, she saw a group of sentries patrolling in the distance.
Just as Ajiu was about to fight, Qi Yuan stopped her.
"Don't make a move first. I'll control one of the automatons to test it out first."
Ajiu nodded and obediently stopped.
Qi Yuan controlled one of the automatons to approach the sentries. After walking into the sentries' alert range, the two automatons suddenly stopped. Qi Yuan's heart tightened, and he controlled the automatons to prepare for battle.
If the automatons' identification codes were unable to block the sentries' attacks, then they would have to end the battle quickly and deal with these two automatons.
Very quickly, Qi Yuan's anxious heart relaxed. Although the two sentries had stopped, they did not attack. Instead, they placed their right hands on their chests and lowered their heads to the automatons.
Was this a salute?
Qi Yuan was overjoyed. This action of the sentries was enough to explain many problems. Although the automatons' identification codes were not high, they were definitely above the sentries'!
Qi Yuan tried to use the automatons to give the two sentries a command to take over. The eyes of the two sentries flashed, and they actually accepted the command.
Sure enough, it could control these sentries!
The automatons brought the two sentries back, causing Ajiu's eyes to widen.
"Didn't you say that these patrols are dangerous?"
"I didn't expect that the identification code of these machines could control the patrolling sentinels," Qi Yuan said.
The reason why this mechanical golem was able to control the mechanical sentinels, other than having a higher authority than the patrolling sentinels, was because of the control command recorded in the Blazing Angel's database. Without the corresponding control command, no matter how high the golem's authority was, it would be impossible to take over the control of the patrolling sentinels.
Ajiu clicked her tongue in wonder as she looked at the two patrolling sentinels. Through the feedback from the exploration team, she was very clear about the danger of this ruin. Even if Slayer's clone entered, he might not be able to leave alive. However, Qi Yuan's various miraculous performances overturned her understanding of this mechanical ruin.
The mechanical wasteland did not seem to be as dangerous as the explorer had said. Qi Yuan easily took control of the two mechanical marionettes and the two patrolling sentries. At this speed, she would not be surprised if Qi Yuan took control of the entire mechanical wasteland in a few days.
"Take over a few more patrolling sentinels, and we'll be able to rescue the Blazing Angel!" Ajiu said seriously.
"Don't underestimate Slayer. He has a clone that inherited the AT force field of the main body. It's not that easy to deal with," Qi Yuan said.
Ajiu chuckled.
"The level of Slayer's clone is not high enough. Even if it inherits the AT force field, it won't be able to exert too much power. At most, it can suppress a small portion of our strength. I've seen a few Mechanic clones that inherited the AT force field of the main body. The AT force field inherited by a Tier 6 mechanical body is just a formality!"
"How strong is the AT force field of a real Tier 7 Mechanical Apostle?" Qi Yuan asked.
Ajiu thought for a moment and said, "Very strong!"
"I think that the main difference between a Tier 6 Mechanic and a Tier 7 Mechanical Apostle lies in the AT force field. Without the existence of the AT force field, a Tier 7 Mechanical Apostle can at most match ten Peak Tier 6 Mechanics. However, once the AT force field is present, even if the number of Peak Tier 6 Mechanics is doubled, they still won't be a match for a Tier 7 Mechanical Apostle!"
Just as Ajiu and Qi Yuan were chatting through the mechanical puppet, Qi Yuan's main body, which was hiding in the dark, suddenly felt a strange movement.
"Quiet. We might have encountered Slayer's clone!" Qi Yuan controlled the mechanical puppet to whisper.
In the mechanical wasteland, other than the Explorer, only the Slayer's doppelgänger could make such a sneaky move.
Most of the scattered Explorers had already died at the hands of the patrolling sentinels. Even if a few were lucky enough to survive, they should have hidden themselves and could not move around outside.
Ajiu's eyes lit up when she heard this. With her current strength and Qi Yuan's mechanical puppet, there was no doubt that she could crush Slayer's clone.
Qi Yuan carefully hid his main body and then used the mechanical puppet to patrol in the direction of the abnormal movement.
In the darkness, two Slayer's clones carefully hid in a corner, quietly spying on the patrolling sentinels.
"Why are there five patrolling sentinels in this group? Moreover, three of them seem to be of different models from the other sentinels," one of the clones said softly.
"It's normal to have some differences in models. In the two warehouses we saw earlier, the models of the sentinels guarding them were also different from the patrolling sentinels," the other clone said.
"They seem to have separated into two groups. One group has three, the other has two!"
"How about it? Should we make a move and get rid of these patrolling sentinels?"
"Don't be in a hurry to make a move. If it was just one group, even if it was a group of three, we could join forces and quickly crush them. But there are two groups here. If we attract the attention of the other group while fighting, we might be in some danger. Moreover, these three patrolling sentinels of different models may have different combat strengths. Before we get to the bottom of this, it's best not to act rashly.
"Then let's let them go first. It's just a pity that we'll lose these five crystal cores."
"Why did these three patrolling sentinels suddenly turn and approach us? Their patrolling route seems a little strange."
"Stay silent. Be careful not to let them capture our information!"
As the mechanical puppet approached, the two Slayer clones quickly maintained their silence. Before this, they had used this method to avoid the patrolling sentinels' search many times.
However, they did not expect that not far from them, there was a pair of eyes that had already locked onto them.
Qi Yuan looked at the two Slayer clones from afar and thought to himself, Although it's a little unethical, five against two shouldn't be a big problem. Perhaps my main body doesn't have to fight this battle personally!
