In the end of the ice age, I hoarded tens of billions of supplies

Chapter 2619 Amusement Park 1

Yang Xinxin nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Yi, saying, "So you think that the Boundless Sphere is not just a simple machine. Or rather, its core is no longer made of a single material."

“I even think it’s alive.”

Zhang Yi uttered these three words as if giving himself a preliminary conclusion.

But his face showed even more confusion.

Because at this moment, the remains of the Boundless Sphere are in his alternate dimension, and no matter how you examine them, they are just the most primitive mechanical parts.

No biological structures were found.

Even those mechanical ascendants of the Cangyuan Clan need to retain their brains to ensure that their self-awareness still belongs to them.

Instead of replicating one's own rituals onto mechanical lifeforms, that would be pure self-deception.

As they were talking, Freeman floated over on the seawater, the electronic light on his hat brim flashing incessantly, making him look even lighter than the sea breeze.

"That was amazing, my Earth hero!"

Fireworks effects flashed across his screen: "The guardians of the Heavenly Ring and the Boundless Sphere have fallen at your feet. Only one guardian remains. Defeat her to obtain the complete key!"

"Then you'll be able to push open the Tower of Heaven and enter the core area of ​​the Martian inner world! The rest of the story will be yours to write!"

Fatty Xu curled his lip: "The way you talk sounds like an insurance salesman."

Freeman pretended not to hear, and instead stretched out his mechanical hand even more enthusiastically to Zhang Yi: "Please, my friend. Help me find the answer, and also help you find the resources of the Sand Raider civilization you want."

His eyes were filled with earnestness, after all, he had been here for more than 20 years, just to find his lover Naschi, whom he had loved during his consciousness transfer.

Zhang Yi put the crystal away, shrugged, and said, "Fine. We've come this far anyway."

He glanced back at the gray-yellow sky, a vague unease swirling in his chest before he finally suppressed it.

"Lead the way."

Leaving the sea, the scenery of the other world changes once again.

The ruined city reappears, with dilapidated high-rises and broken bridges lined up in the distance, as if welcoming them toward some kind of end.

The artificial sun hangs even lower, its rays slanting across the metal skeleton, casting extremely long shadows, making the world increasingly resemble a perpetual twilight.

"Don't you guys think this place is a bit strange?"

Lu Keran muttered to herself, but still instinctively grabbed the hem of Zhang Yi's clothes, "Brother Zhang Yi, is the sun going down?"

"Maybe he's in a bad mood."

Zhang Yi gave a perfunctory reply, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Freeman walked ahead, his steps unusually light and unhurried.

He raised his hand and pointed ahead: "We're almost there. The last guardian is in the center of that city, in a huge amusement park."

"Amusement park?"

Fatty Xu was taken aback. "The last line of defense for advanced civilization is placed in an amusement park?"

"That place is very special."

For a moment, Freeman's eyes widened in disbelief: "I feel... like I've been here before."

"What, you didn't build this place, did you?"

Zhang Yi spoke with a smile, half joking and half serious.

To everyone's surprise, Freeman thought about it seriously and said, "It's somewhat similar. I was still there back then... Never mind, you'll see when we get there."

They climbed over a twisted overpass, and their view suddenly opened up.

A massive amusement park lies quietly in the center of the ruined city.

The giant Ferris wheel was broken in half, with the carriages hanging in mid-air, swaying gently in the wind.

The paint on the carousel horses has been stripped off, leaving only their silver-white skeletons, yet they still maintain their running posture.

The candy-colored ticket booth was covered in old rust, and the cute cartoon smiley faces on the neon sign were half charred black, but still grinned.

An eerie tenderness, a deadly liveliness.

The artificial sunset cast its light, turning the amusement park into a golden-gray curtain, resembling both a fairy tale and a graveyard.

What's most surprising is that this amusement park is remarkably similar to most amusement parks on Earth.

The doubt in Zhang Yi's heart deepened, and he gave Freeman a long look.

"The Sandstalker civilization and the Earth civilization are not that similar. It's impossible that their amusement parks would be built in the same style, right?"

"I seriously doubt that this place has anything to do with you."

Freeman pulled down his hat brim, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "During my seven years on Mars, I did leave some of Earth's culture behind here. It feels so familiar!"

"Perhaps this was created based on the inspiration I left behind!"

"This place gives me the creeps, I don't want to go in at all."

Li Yangyang said softly, stroking her arm, looking quite charming.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Fatty Xu straightened his back immediately, just about to show off his manly ferocity.

The next second, a mechanical clown wearing a top hat sprang up from behind the stall, his face beaming with an excessively wide smile, twirling a serrated candy knife in his hand.

"Visitor detected. Welcome to Death Paradise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clown's chest opened, and three energy cannons lit up, firing directly at them.

Mechanical life forms of the Sand-Gatherer civilization.

"I take back what I just said!"

Fatty Xu took a deep breath and slammed his hands to the ground. An ice tide surged out, freezing the trajectory of the energy cannon.

Lu Keran behind him had already swiftly summoned his flying crows. A flock of black and gold mechanical crows swept through the air, precisely slicing through the clown's joints.

At that moment, the once lifeless amusement park seemed to suddenly come alive.

A constant "creaking" sound filled the air, as if some old metal machinery had suddenly started operating, the grating sound of rusty gears meshing together.

A doll wearing a pointed hat climbs up from the Ferris wheel, the horse doll on the carousel twists its head, and all sorts of comical dolls, circus performers, and balloon figures in the amusement park gradually come to life.

Their eyes lit up with blood-red light, like a group of monsters that had pulled a failed experiment out of a fairy tale book, all turning their gazes toward the visitors from Earth.

The scene was extremely eerie, and the uncanny valley effect gave Zhang Yi goosebumps.

However, he was a man who had seen a lot in his life, so he wasn't afraid, just a little creeped out.

"Uncle You."

Zhang Yi turned his head to look at Uncle You, who stood beside him like a mobile artillery platform.

"Understood, watch my firepower!"

Uncle You's shoulder armor popped out fire control towers, his back thrusters ignited, and he transformed into a mobile firepower platform, joining Liang Yue and the others to face the mechanical monsters.

Sword flashes, cannon fire, frost, and flying crows.

A spectacular yet chaotic display of fireworks erupted at the amusement park.
