My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 288 The Machine Soul is Overjoyed (Fourth Update)
Chu Zhu opened her eyes and found herself sitting in a maglev car: "..."

"What's wrong?" Huo Qiming noticed the change in Chu Zhu's expression and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing!" Chu Zhu shook his head, his gaze fixed intently on the nuclear facility that was gradually approaching in the distance.

……

Upon landing, Chu Zhu did not attach the antimatter bomb to the drone this time. Of course, he still used the drone to fly to the nuclear facility…

This was intended to attract the attention of the two individuals who had emerged from the nuclear facility after the sacrificial ceremony in the shantytown redevelopment area was disrupted.

Just like before.

Soon, the Fifth Apostle appeared behind Chu Zhu again, and as always, locked Chu Zhu's neck.

"So... this time, you really didn't notice anything unusual?" Chu Zhu asked thoughtfully. Just as he had guessed, the overlapping of two twisted fates... caused Fifth to overlook the anomaly!
Fifth was taken aback. What did that mean?
But before he could even ask a question, he realized something was wrong in the next instant, and his expression changed drastically. But now, it was too late for him to leave...

The blazing black light spread rapidly at that moment.

……

Chu Zhu opened his eyes in the ecological park, his expression slightly dazed. He rubbed his temples, and after a moment, he came to his senses: "My condition is starting to deteriorate! But it's okay, at least that proved that I was indeed able to kill the Fifth."

"If all goes well..."

Chu Zhu paused for a moment, a heavy look appearing on her face. But the problem was, even if she successfully killed the fifth one... she still had to see if the big orange cat would notice anything unusual and then parachute over.

Chu Zhu was inclined to believe that the big orange cat wouldn't care about the fifth one. But she couldn't be completely sure: "Oh well, let's take it one step at a time... If we can get through this, and it really doesn't work out, we'll run to Tianjing and seek refuge with the Pope."

"The problem now is..." Chu Zhu pursed her lips, a shadow falling over her eyes: "Do we really have to use that plan?"

However, Chu Zhu did not hesitate for too long. He slowly got up, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.

……

After one hour.

Inside the office of the captain of the Third Special Operations Brigade.

"Alright! I've said everything I needed to say... Following the plan step by step will disrupt the Omnipotent Clan's scheme." Chu Zhu took a deep breath: "It's all up to you now."

The group of people, each with a different expression, all stood up and agreed.

then……

"...Captain Chu!" Captain Yang looked at Chu Zhu's silent expression and cautiously asked, "Is there something...you want to say?"

After all, logically speaking, the meeting should have been adjourned by now... However, Chu Zhu remained silent.

Chu Zhu tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "Because what we've solved so far... is ultimately only superficial!"

"The surface?" Captain Yang murmured, gradually realizing something.

"Hmm!" Chu Zhu pursed his lips. "The core of the sacrifice... is actually the fifth and eleventh apostles of the omnipotent lineage!"

On the surface, killing members of the Omnipotent lineage seems to eliminate the need to worry about large-scale sacrifices, right? But this is only temporary!
Firstly, there's the fifth and eleventh, and another operation to detonate a nuclear facility! This even received covert support from some top figures in the Great Qian Dynasty... This is something that can't even be said in this situation.

Secondly, if they can't kill the fifth and eleventh, then even if they suppress them this time, it's only a temporary suppression! Wouldn't they just find another group of subordinates to sacrifice again and condense the black mist?
How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
But if we were to kill the fifth and eleventh...

"I need someone," Chu Zhu said, "someone with at least the second level of cultivation who is willing to die!"

The scene was deathly silent.

After the meeting.

Chu Zhu's feelings were complex and subtle.

"...Don't be like this!" Huo Qiming reached out and patted Chu Zhu's shoulder, his voice calm. He seemed to realize what Chu Zhu was thinking at the moment and comforted him, "Death...is inevitable! Or rather, on the battlefield, how can there be no death?"

In Huo Qiming's eyes, this confrontation with the Omnipotent Clan was a war! He was quite open-minded about it... or rather, he couldn't help but be open-minded. The turnover rate of the Commandery was too fast... the turnover rate reached 30% in a year! What does it mean for 30% of the members to die every year... even if most of them were newly recruited, it was still terrifying!
"You don't need to say anything more." Chu Zhu glanced at Huo Qiming, her tone indifferent: "I'm not one of those naive children! But... I sometimes wonder if there might be a better way, one that requires no sacrifice at all? It's just..."

Reality is not a fairy tale. Chu Zhu thought of Zhou Ze again...

"You still say you're not?" Huo Qiming looked noncommittal. After a moment's thought, he patted Chu Zhu on the shoulder: "Afterwards, come with me to Rongguang Institute for a look..."

"No need!" Chu Zhu shook her head. The so-called Glory Place was somewhat similar to a martyrs' cemetery in the real world. "I've been there several times already!"

Then, without hesitation, he walked forward and left the police station.

"..." Huo Qiming stood still for a moment, then sighed softly, "In the end, he's just a child!"

“Yes, it’s just because he’s too mature and too strong that many people see him as someone to rely on and therefore overlook his real age…” Li Kang’s calm and gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Huo Qiming narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and gave a deep look to Li Kang, Guan Fei, Ning Linglong with a complicated expression, and Bi Xuan who seemed distracted... He didn't say anything more.

……

At 8:30, Chu Zhu summoned Mo Wen and two Mo family disciples and brought them to the top of the Hive Base.

Compared to the last time, when a bunch of Mo family members were recruited, this time, the two recruited were: one was the Mo family disciple who controlled earth-type supernatural powers last time, and the other was a Mo family disciple personally selected by Chu Zhu and chosen by Mo Wen, who controlled the supernatural powers of repairing ancient relics...

Having had experience before, Chu Zhu led the group directly to the top of the gate and directed the Mo family disciples who were laying ash to begin constructing the passage.

"...What are you doing?" Mo Wen frowned as he looked at the flames rising from Chu Zhu's hand. He glanced around, but seeing no enemy, he was somewhat puzzled. However, a thought quickly struck him: "Your supernatural power is fire... Could it be that you want to ask if your fire... can be used to forge weapons? Well... it might actually be possible! But you have to become a disciple of..."

"Oh! It has nothing to do with that." Chu Zhu interrupted Mo Wen expressionlessly. He was simply making room for a replicated divine ability. Ten minutes later, he reached out and patted the Mo family disciple who was currently idle and looking completely bewildered: "Brother! Don't be nervous, and don't resist... I want to ask you some questions about the Mo Cult... some common sense! Mo Wen, don't look at me like that... I won't ask you about your secrets!"

While performing the therapy, Chu Zhu silently sensed the supernatural abilities of this Mo family disciple whom she had personally selected and whom Mo Wen had chosen.

Supernatural power name: Equipment Repair

First Superpower: Mechanical Inspection

Second Superpower: Machine Soul Great Joy

"?" Chu Zhu's brow twitched, her heart churning. The First Divine Power was nothing special; it was simply the ability to naturally sense which part of a machine was malfunctioning by placing one's hand on it.

Of course, if someone is a mechanical expert, they can use their supernatural powers to sense the part that is damaged and its general condition, and then deduce exactly where the problem is and what the problem is... However, for this group of people who regard ancient relics as divine artifacts, they can only say that they realize which part is damaged... As for the cause of the accident, they certainly don't understand!

How can you fix a machine when you only know where it is but not what the problem is? That's where Machine Soul Dayue comes in!

Name: Machine Soul Joy

Effect: Devout prayer can grant the body a sense of its own soul and life, allowing it to gradually repair itself!
Additional tip: If you can identify which part is causing the problem and sincerely pray at the affected area, you can separately transform that part into a mecha, greatly reducing the amount of blessing power consumed.

Well, Chu Zhu didn't know what expression to make for a moment. These two skills were indeed a perfect match... but they were a bit abstract...
