Chapter 178: You should have never come back in
But the next moment, something went wrong.
The first few purple mechs exploded just fine, violent blasts tearing through the metal and sending tremors through the fortress. But instead of creating a void hole like last time, the metallic walls around them pulsed. Glowed. And then absorbed the explosions.
Damon’s eyes widened. "Shit."
It was adapting.
He should have known. His opponent was not stupid. They were not going to fall for the same trick twice. "Fuck. Let’s go. Let’s get out of here one way or the other." Damon signalled for the group to follow him as he started heading further down the hall.
Their escape from this place was looking increasingly bleak. The more Damon thought about it, their only option out of this place should be by using something they found here. They had already found a lot of rare materials and weird items. Wouldn’t one such room contain explosives or some shit?
Damon’s mind was running on fumes and instinct now. He turned a sharp corner and burst through another lab door. He ransacked it from top to bottom while others kept the golems at bay.
"Blood Reign, come on. Is there anything I can use? Can you sense anything at all?"
Blood Reign did not give any response. Damon did not dare. He was sure of it. One of these rooms had to contain something useful. He started ransacking one lab after another. There was a plan mutation lab, there was a mechanical limb lab, and there was even an artificial mana core lab.
