Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique - Chapter 403
Chapter 403: Chapter 103 Something’s wrong, everything’s wrong!_3
Given enough time, even the deepest secrets can be uncovered.
Recently, the area known as Shanghai was newly discovered, as introduced by the Academy.
Given the importance that the Supreme Council of the Wizard World attaches to this Special Ruin World, they would definitely dispatch elite teams under their direct control to explore it immediately.
However, upon arrival, Link found that the two buildings where the Apprentice Teams from the Academy and Shadow City had landed showed no signs of being searched.
How could it be that such prominent skyscrapers have not been searched? Is this reasonable?
No, it isn’t!
After concealing his figure, Link stepped off the square and onto the main street.
Standing on the deserted street, littered with randomly placed vehicles, Link looked up at the hazy sky.
His dark eyes reflected the turbid, azure sky, leaving him lost in complex thought.
Wasn’t this Special Ruin World supposedly laid to waste after endless devastating wars?
Why is there no sign of war here at all?
No holes from artillery shells, no bullet holes, no skeletal remains.
All traces associated with conventional warfare in Link’s memory are absent.
Yet, the combat robots that the Shadow City’s Apprentice Team had previously encountered were without a doubt equipped with conventional weapons.
This contradiction confounded Link. How could it be that the entire population of the sizable Shanghai, over twenty-five million people, disappeared without a trace?
It doesn’t hit the mark from the standpoint of science he knew in his past life, nor from the system of the supernatural in his current life, especially following the Wizard System.
Moreover, having operated the Mind Closure Technique for a long time, Link finally noticed a hint of strangeness.
Since entering this Special Ruin World, everyone, including Link himself,
seemed to have been mind-controlled into believing that the initial stage of exploring this new territory was to clear the buildings they had arrived in.
They felt they couldn’t explore the other parts unless they thoroughly searched the building they had landed in.
But the place they first landed was the rooftop of two skyscrapers, which could overlook the entire Shanghai. They could have checked the whole city landscape!
They saw the map of Shanghai while clearing the building. Why didn’t anyone propose the standard procedure of first identifying key areas and then carrying out targeted searches?
Upon closer thought, it sent chills down Link’s spine.
“So, what kind of secret is hidden here?”
Link pondered deeply.
“Master, Master….”
At this moment, Franda called out through their mental connection, “Master, come quickly, see what Franda has found!”
“What have you found?”
Link responded quickly to Franda’s surprised exclamations, and then calmly shared Franda’s vision.
A huge underground workshop that manufactures various types of robots came into view.
The workshop was brightly lit and impeccably clean, with a constant supply of energy.
The production line was piled with many formed and waiting-to-be-assembled parts.
Through a nearly fifty meters wide and ten meters high floor-to-ceiling window, one could see a massive warehouse outside, which was the size of more than a dozen football fields.
Row after row of combat robots equipped with a full set of weapons stood neatly, waiting to be activated. There were about five thousand of them at a glance.
Behind the robot formation was an aircraft which closely resembled the An-225, and several bombers similar to the Tu-160M were parked neatly behind it.
Link’s “gaze” was firmly fixed on the An-225, he sighed in admiration:
“It’s truly beautiful!”
