Chapter 10: Heart-Shaped Crystal and Rehearsal

  "Go ahead and say it, I don't want to sit here waiting for death, letting them slaughter us." Hearing that there was a way out of the predicament, Fang Kai looked very happy and hastily asked him.

  The latter smiled and then coughed, looking around cautiously before saying in a low voice, "We can ask for Riven's help. As long as we promise to help him keep the position of Alliance Master, he will definitely protect us." Jormun's face was full of sincerity, and it turned out that his plan was to use the conflict between Riven and Quinault's father and son.

  But is this method feasible? Fang Kai always felt that Rui Wen was hiding something, with an unfathomable expression, and cooperating with him had a bit of the meaning of plotting with a tiger.

  "Jom, how do you know that if we help Raven, he'll definitely help us escape Adam's clutches?" Fang Kai gazed skeptically at the New Zealander in front of him. Could Raven really be trusted? As the saying goes, "burning the bridge after crossing", what if Raven kept his position as Alliance Master and then sacrificed Jom and himself as a celebration of victory, wouldn't that be the same outcome?

  Thinking of these things, Fang Kai felt more and more that this matter was not feasible.

  However, facing Fang Kai's inquiry, Jomos couldn't help but smile wryly. He placed his hands on Fang Kai's shoulders and said seriously: "Kai, don't you understand? We've already run out of options. Either we seek help from Riven or become the sacrificial lambs." In fact, Fang Kai also knew that Jomos wasn't exaggerating.

  But as soon as he thought of that inscrutable face, Fang Kai's heart became apprehensive.

  "Should I not ask for his help? Is there really no other way?" Fang Kai kept asking himself in his heart, but it seemed that this was the only way. Asking Ruiwen for help may not necessarily succeed, and even if he succeeded, he may not be able to escape unscathed; but if he didn't ask Ruiwen, he would definitely be pushed onto the altar by Adamas.

  Fang Kai lowered his head, his eyes flickering. After hesitating for a while, Fang Kai finally raised his head and said firmly, "Alright, let's gamble then. We've already got nothing to lose, might as well go all out? Right?" Qiao Mu Si nodded in relief, the two of them clenched their fists and bumped them together.

  This is the battle hymn of shoulder-to-shoulder combat!

  After exchanging a smile, Fang Kai's tone turned serious: "Now that the special forces team only has you and me left, we must be careful in our actions from now on and absolutely cannot reveal our motives. By the way, do you have Raven's contact information?" Suddenly, Fang Kai thought of an important question - the contact method.

  Now that the two are in the Dragon Camp, apart from these blind spots, all their movements are under the all-around surveillance of the red crystal. To get out of the Dragon Camp and contact Raven, this is almost impossible.

  Indeed, many things can be thought through, but reality always has too many obstacles. If they don't solve this key problem, their plan is not even a plan.

  "Hmm, this is indeed a problem. But don't worry, we have this." Jorms suddenly pulled out a heart-shaped strip from his pocket, made of green crystal. Seeing this thing, Fang Kai couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's this?" Only to see Jorms smile, his voice somewhat mysterious: "This... was given to me by Riven. I don't know what it is either, but he said that as long as we fill it up, we can have a five-dimensional conversation with him."

  "Five-dimensional conference?" Fang Kai suddenly became interested and thought that this heart-shaped green crystal was actually so magical?

  Jorms nodded and smiled, "So-called five-dimensional communication is actually just a connection in a rigid electromagnetic field. Because the red crystal controls the entire dragon camp's surveillance network, if you want to bypass this surveillance wave, you have to squeeze out an electric field from the gap. The electric field must be very strong and rigid enough to block all signal interference and intrusion."

  Upon hearing this explanation, Fang Kai couldn't help but look shocked. He suddenly felt that coming to Earth to carry out their mission had also broadened his horizons, although they were descendants of Earthlings, the nuclear war back then really did destroy a lot of technology. The only things left for the Martian immigrants from Earth were some fragmented memories of technology.

  Now it seems that the technology of the Earth, which is close to its destruction period, has really reached an unimaginable level!

  "Uh, well, are we going to try it now?" Fang Kai swallowed hard, he was really curious about how this small heart-shaped crystal could have such a magical effect. Jorms shook his head and sighed, "The problem is I still don't understand how to fill this thing up."

  Yes, as Riven said, in order to activate this green crystal, it must be filled first. So the question is, how can it be filled? What should be used to fill it?

  Just as the two were deep in thought, a sudden and intense alarm bell rang out from the Dragon Camp. The two of them were stunned, staring blankly at each other. "What's going on?" Fang Kai was still dazed when he saw Qiao Mu's expression change, pulling him gently and whispering: "First go back to the mechanical dragon's side, pretend to apply preservative, don't expose our relationship! Go." Qiao Mu pushed Fang Kai out of the dead angle, the latter understood, trying his best to regain a natural appearance, starting to apply preservative to the mechanical dragon.

  After about ten seconds, Jorms also walked out of the dead angle and went to one side of the Longying Hall to start sweeping. The two were silently and tacitly doing their own work, exchanging only with their eyes.

  Almost at the same time, Peter, wearing a gun, walked into the dragon camp with a tight stride. With a glance, Peter suddenly took out his gun and fired a shot into the air.

  The slaves in the dragon camp were not only Fang Kai and Qiao Mu Si, but this gunshot stunned seven or eight slaves, including the two. Then Peter coughed and said solemnly: "The master has ordered a military rehearsal, all mechanical dragons are waiting for orders!" Suddenly, it was like opening a pot in the crowd.

  Several familiar slaves discussed: "Nothing has happened before, why is there a rehearsal today?" Fang Kai listened on the side and felt sad for these slaves. They must have been caught here for some time, hum, what military rehearsal, it's clearly a dress rehearsal for usurping power! It's just that these guys are pitied, they will become sacrifices tomorrow. Alas...

  At the thought of those slaves being slaughtered to worship "God", Fang Kai couldn't help but clench his fists, wishing he could stand up for them and cut down the Kwai family father and son.

  Freedom, only freedom, is the value of existence. Without freedom, isn't life just a hollow shell, a mere existence? Fang Kaiti constantly reminds himself that he must not be deprived of his freedom, becoming someone else's plaything to be cut up at will.

  The scene was somewhat chaotic, and Peter suddenly narrowed his eyes, firing another shot into the air, scaring everyone into silence, and the atmosphere became heavy all at once.

  "Did I give you permission to speak? Remember, do not discuss the master's orders, any discussion is forbidden! Hurry up and take the mechanical dragon to the gate of the armory, if such a scene appears again in front of you, you will live until then." Peter swept his gaze over the slaves with an icy tone.

  The slaves all hung their heads, not daring to speak, only Fang Kai muttered in his heart: "It's really ridiculous, and there will be no future. These people, do they have a future? They don't know that tomorrow is their death date, but they are still in the dark..." Suddenly, Fang Kai felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, originally many things were not under his control.

  He and Jorms had the chance to escape from Quaas's father-son duo, but it was unknown whether these poor slaves could be freed. Maybe, just maybe Raven would liberate them. But, on one condition: that Raven wasn't a heartless overlord...

  The road ahead is shrouded in mist, this is Fang Kai's current feeling.

  Under Peter's direction, Fang Ke, Qiao Mu Si and other slaves worked together to move all the mechanical dragons out of the arsenal for what was called a rehearsal.

  The rehearsal location was at a simulated battlefield near the Flying Fox Arsenal, and this exercise was on a large scale, with almost all of the soldiers from the Flying Fox Arsenal participating. However, it was strange that Quicksand did not appear, and Adamas only appeared once before hastily leaving, as if there were some important matters to attend to. The work for the rehearsal was left entirely to Peter. After this rehearsal, Fang Ke and the others not only knew about Quicksand's military strength but also understood how terrifying the mechanical dragon was.

  Peter was right, these mechanical dragons are indeed battlefield meat grinders! One mechanical dragon can sweep through an entire battalion of guards without suffering any damage. The Quaestor family has more than a dozen mechanical dragons, what kind of terrifying power is this? Not only Fang Ke, but even Joems had some doubts about what Raven could use to counterattack.

  Back at the Dragon Camp, Fang Kai asked Qiao Mu Si: "Have you seen the 'Flying Fox' munitions factory? What's inside?" Qiao Mu Si didn't respond and just kept shaking his head. Seeing this, Fang Kai sighed: "So you haven't seen it either..." Before Fang Kai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Mu Si: "No, although I haven't seen it myself, I've heard others talk about it."

  At once, Jorms told Fang Kai everything he had heard about the "Flying Fox" munitions factory. After listening, Fang Kai's eyebrows furrowed: "So, no one has ever seen what's inside the 'Flying Fox' munitions factory?" Fang Kai was secretly shocked, as Jorms had said that the "Flying Fox" munitions factory was extremely mysterious, with many password locks set up around its perimeter, which had never been breached. In other words, except for Riven, no one else knew what was inside.

  "You've said it, the Flying Fox munitions factory is smaller than Dragon Camp, so there shouldn't be anything too serious, right?" Fang Kai looked at Joems skeptically, but the New Zealand descendant just shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

  Fang Kai let out a sigh, biting his lip: "Forget it, let's first think about how to fill up that heart-shaped crystal." Qiao Mu nodded, and the two walked to an inconspicuous corner. Qiao Mu took out the green crystal from his pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand. Taking advantage of the mechanical dragon blocking the scan, the two began to ponder this strange object.

  Time slips away bit by bit.
