Chapter 2217 Fully-Wound Machines

Li Yao discovered that it was absolutely a mistake to put on the jailor’s uniform.

Faced with the overwhelming, feverish felons, he was as eye-catching as a lighthouse in a thunderstorm in the jailor’s uniform.

Although the felons’ combat ability had greatly reduced after years if not decades of imprisonment, they still had the absolute advantage in number and drowned Li Yao immediately.

Even though Li Yao could blow up a few prisoners in one punch and clear a space of ten square meters in one kick, he could not stop the felons from charging forward incessantly. In such an environment that was enshrouded in fire and smoke, the felons behind might not know what was going on in the front at all but simply ran forward in their doggedness.

After beating a few waves of felons in a row, Li Yao found himself to be a target for everyone. The prisoners in all directions were flowing at him. Hundreds of hideous-looking men with bulging muscles had piled up into a tower of flesh more than ten meters tall on the top of him.

This is the most unsuccessful infiltration mission of my life!

Li Yao howled in his heart. He could only change his tactic, and instead of blowing away the men all over his body with his spiritual energy, he simply wriggled forward in difficulties below the mountain of people.

After he finally crawled out of the flesh mountain, the jailor’s uniform on his body was entirely gone, replaced by an orange prisoner’s uniform that was stained with blood. His body figure was exactly like that of the prisoners around him, with bulging muscles and veins as thick as dragons all over his body. On his face, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were rolling. He grimaced like a monster.

“Freedom! Freedom!”

Li Yao waved his giant fists and screamed in a blurred voice, “Kill them all! Kill them all! Brothers, let’s enjoy ourselves today!”

Countless prisoners passed by him and crashed into the jailors up ahead.

It seemed that some jailors activated the self-detonation rune arrays on their crystal suits in desperation, casting themselves and the felons around them into the fireball of destruction at the same time. The airwaves threw countless people and their broken limbs into midair, before they fell down again in a rain of blood. Everybody on the floor was showered by the blood and turned red!

While outlining the structure of the Godly Might Prison and the shortest route that he was about to take deep inside his brain, he lunged to the ventilation tube that led to the third district under the cover of the felons. But before he reached the closest entrance to the ventilation tube, the few gates that were connected to the districts had explosions and sounds of faults at the same time.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Now, all the districts of the entire Godly Might Prison that had been independent of each other were connected.

The chaos was immediately ten times multiplied!

In the meantime, three round gates were slowly opened on the dome above everyone’s head and released countless round battle puppets that flopped until they reached everyone’s head.

With cracking sounds, four pairs of stabilizer fines and six machine guns split out from their round bodies. After locking onto the prisoners, they immediately began to let out the most brutal firepower!

The Godly Might Prison, as a super prison that had never been compromised or broken for hundreds of years, was finally back to itself from the unexpected attack and began to show the capabilities that it should have.

Looking at the felons that were put down in rows and the barrage of a thousand explosive bullets shot by hundreds of battle puppets, Li Yao suddenly began to miss the jailor’s uniform that he took off a moment ago!

Why didn’t you come sooner?

Li Yao gritted his teeth and ran like a mouse, performing his movement skills in the storm of bullets without reserve. He had truly turned into a narrow, long, and agilely-turning ray of light, and the hundreds of attacks all missed their target. He even interfered with the bullets that were still flying with his spiritual threads, to slightly change their direction into the course of other bullets so that they would deviate from the designated trajectory or explode directly.

Even so, he did not get half a minute’s rest.

The automatic war puppets of the Godly Might Prison seemed to boast a unique algorithm. If one target was not conquered after a long time, the threat and the importance of the target would be increased, and more war puppets would be automatically mobilized to deal with it.

It meant that if two war puppets could not take care of Li Yao, four would come. Then, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four… Under such an exponential increase, even Li Yao found it exhausting to deal with the enemy.

Finally, before thousands of war puppets aimed their machine guns at him at the same time, Li Yao finally escaped from the first district, somewhat in embarrassment, and dashed into a ventilation tube above his head that was allegedly broad enough for a horse to gallop on.

God knew how he missed the traditional, narrow, zigzagging ventilation tubes that were defended by the cutting-edge defense systems!

Thankfully, because of the turmoil in the Godly Might Prison, and since the ventilation tubes were a focus of the enemy’s attack and tremendous venomous fog and smoke had been filled in, the ventilation tubes were utterly empty at this moment. The jailors that were supposed to guard the area had either died with awful expressions on their faces after breathing too much corrosive gas or left the area to reinforce the districts that were in riots.

But it did not mean that Li Yao’s journey in the ventilation tubes would be easy and pleasant.

Vague, fluorescent air was floating before his eyes, and a sweet smell found its way into his nostrils too. It felt that countless little claws were crawling all the way into his brain from his nose.

Li Yao felt alarms ringing in his head. The fatal venomous gas and corrosive air were even possible to damage the central nerves of an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage!

“The Covenant Alliance’s biochemical technologies are so advanced!”

Li Yao was greatly shocked.

“Of course. Don’t forget that the Covenant Alliance originates from the Pangu Civilization, and the Pangu Civilization was on par with the Nuwa Civilization that created the ‘demon race’. How can their biochemical technologies not be advanced?”

The mental devil said quickly, “Think about the Pangu Laboratory deep inside the Land of Eternal Night in the Ancient Sages Sector. Weren’t there a kind of weird giant crabs that were lurking in the place, which could inject a certain mysterious liquid into the human body and turn human beings into the Pangu Clan? Was it not an appalling biotechnology?”

Li Yao was silent and realized that it did make sense.

Compared to the Imperium of True Human Beings, which had occupied the most prosperous worlds at the center of the cosmos with a plethora of soldiers, resources, and population, the Alliance of the Holy Covenant was fighting the splendid, magnificent millennium war with the barren land at the corner of the universe.

The reason why it was vaguely on the winning side after a thousand years of fierce battles was partly the zealous and determined believers and partly the magical equipment, heritages, and legacies excavated from the primeval relics.

Therefore, in terms of technologies, the Covenant Alliance should be the highest of the Covenant Alliance, the Imperium, and the federation.

In an enormous battlefield in space, a technological gap of one to two hundred years might be neglectable.

However, in an assault battle like this one, the party with the cutting-edge technologies would certainly have a great advantage.

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

As Li Yao held his breath, locked his pores, and even covered his retina with feeble spiritual energy as protection, crawling forward in the middle of the venomous fog and the corrosive gas, he heard noises coming over from the darkness up ahead. A large swarm of “metal bees” had arrived.

Those little creatures had obviously replaced the guards of the Godly Might Prison and became new masters of the ventilation tubes.

Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!

Sensing the feeble heat from Li Yao’s body, the “metal bees” immediately ejected sharp stings and darted at Li Yao spirally!

Li Yao sniffed. His telepathic thoughts raged forward like a flood, trying to break the internal structure of the “metal bees”.

But out of his expectation, the materials that the metal bees were made of were a certain special alloy that Li Yao had never seen before. It boasted a high reflection of spiritual energy, and more than 90% of Li Yao’s attacks were parried when they hit the shell of the metal bees.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Before Li Yao had the opportunity to switch to a different attack mode, the metal bees had exploded next to him one after another. Although they caused no damage to him at all, they did blow a giant hole on the ventilation tube he was at.

The screams and explosions down below immediately crashed into his ears.

All the captives of the Covenant Alliance, in deep red prisoner’s uniform, had been released and were running in a hurry.

It was the first time that Li Yao had ever seen the warriors of the Covenant Alliance on such a large scale, who were the most authentic people of the Covenant Alliance that were not installed with emotion-simulation systems.

His first feeling was that he was faced with thousands of zombies. It couldn’t have been more creepy.

Although the captives of the Covenant Alliance were pressing the attack to the pathways in all directions like floods and ferocious beasts, all of them were indifferent and utterly tranquil. There was not any resentment for the jailors, yearning for freedom, or any feeling that had mutated after a long time of repression—not in the slightest!

Li Yao did not hear any roar or scream from them in such a massive riot. Even the heavily wounded people simply sat aside and waited for their death while covering their wounds. Occasionally, a pained expression could be found on the faces of some people, but it was soon stifled by force, as if “pained expression” was something even more horrible than “pain” itself.

Just now, Li Yao felt that the ferocious felons in the first district were already the craziest monsters in hell.

However, the people of the Covenant Alliance who looked like machines made of flesh and blood made Li Yao understand better than ever what was “a hundred times more evil than the Imperium of True Human Beings”!

Judging from their hollow eyes, their numb limbs, their cold faces, and the intense air of tombs around them, it was not hard to tell that they were not fighting for their own survival and liberty at all, and being locked deep inside the Godly Might Prison for a hundred or a thousand years meant nothing to them. They were just fully-wound tools that had been reactivated and were carrying out an order given to them!
