Chapter 690 New Visitors

Bai Ye stood in the shadow stretched by the setting sun, staring at the still silent sphere, feeling an unprecedented sense of frustration in his heart. He knew that he had exhausted all his wisdom and strength, but still could not touch the secret behind the sphere. Every attempt is like groping blindly in the endless darkness, unable to find a way out and unable to reach the light.

He slowly turned around and faced the equally exhausted soldiers and researchers. In their eyes, there was disappointment, confusion, but also endless trust and expectation for Bai Ye. But at this moment, Bai Ye had to make a difficult decision - to give up.

"We... have to leave here." Bai Ye's voice was low and heavy, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart. He looked at everyone, trying to find a glimmer of understanding and support in their eyes, "This sphere does not belong to us, nor does it belong to this era. Perhaps, it has its own mission and destination, and we are just passers-by."

The soldiers looked at each other. Although they were unwilling, they also understood that Bai Ye's decision was out of helplessness. They began to quietly pack up their equipment and prepare to evacuate this place full of unknowns and dangers. Bai Ye stood there, taking one last look at the sphere, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know when he would see it again, let alone whether the secret behind it would forever remain an unsolved mystery.

As the last soldier made his way home, the wasteland occupied by the sphere returned to its former tranquility. Bai Ye led the team on the road back to the city. Their steps were heavy and slow, as if every step carried awe of the unknown and the bitterness of failure.

However, the moment they were about to step onto the edge of the city, a thick shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. The shadow quickly expanded, covering up the afterglow of the setting sun and dyeing the entire sky ink. Bai Ye and everyone looked up and saw a huge figure slowly landing in the open space not far away. It was a huge scavenging robot. Its body was pieced together from scrap metal, but it revealed an indescribable majesty and power.

"What is that?" a soldier exclaimed, his voice filled with fear and anxiety.

Bai Ye frowned and stared at the huge scavenger robot. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from it, a sense of existence that transcended ordinary machinery. He realized that the appearance of this scavenger robot was no accident. It might have some unknown connection with the sphere.

"Everyone, be careful," Bai Ye said in a deep voice, "This scavenger robot may not be simple."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers raised their weapons and stared at the behemoth with vigilance. But the scavenger robot didn't show any aggression. It just stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

Bai Ye walked forward slowly, his heart full of doubts and vigilance. He knew that he had to figure out the purpose of this scavenger robot. He walked up to the robot and looked up at its massive body, trying to find answers in its eyes (if it had any).

But the scavenger robot didn't give any response. It just stood there quietly, like an indestructible steel fortress. Bai Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He knew that he couldn't waste time and energy here. So, he turned around and said to the soldiers: "Let's go. This scavenger robot will not pose a threat to us for the time being. But we must always be vigilant, just in case."

The soldiers nodded and continued to move forward with Bai Ye. But they all knew in their hearts that the appearance of this scavenger robot was no accident. It may indicate that more dangerous and unknown challenges are waiting for them. Bai Ye was even more convinced that the story between him, the sphere and the scavenger robot was far from over.

He secretly vowed that no matter how many difficulties and setbacks he would encounter in the future, he would unswervingly pursue the truth and answers. Because only in this way can he be worthy of the persistence and belief in his heart.

Just when Bai Ye and the soldiers were about to move on, trying to stay away from this ominous omen, the scavenger robot that was originally as still as a mountain suddenly moved and made a low and heavy mechanical roar. This sudden change made everyone's hearts tense. They stopped and stared nervously at the scene in front of them.

I saw the shell of the scavenger robot slowly cracking open, as if a huge honeycomb was uncovered, and countless tiny robots poured out of it. These small robots are flexible and extremely fast. They quickly spread out and began to dismantle everything around them - whether it was dead branches or leaves, scattered stones, or even some small obstacles on the ground, they were all destroyed by them. Break down one by one and turn into metal fragments or recyclable materials.

The shock of this scene far exceeded the imagination of Bai Ye and the soldiers. They widened their eyes and looked at what was happening in front of them in disbelief. At this moment, an even more astonishing figure rose into the sky from a corner of the city. It was Magneto. He was awakened by the sudden movement and angrily flew towards the area where the scavenger robot was.

"Stop!" Magneto's voice echoed in the air, carrying unquestionable majesty. He waved his hands, and a powerful magnetic field instantly unfolded, attracting the surrounding small robots, as if there were invisible chains tightly binding them. However, these little robots don't seem to be afraid of Magneto's magnetism. They struggle and twist in the air, trying to break free and continue their dismantling tasks.

Magneto was furious when he saw this. He increased the output of magnetic force, and the whole sky seemed to tremble with his anger. Under his control, the small robots were like fallen leaves blown by the wind, thrown far away one after another, and hit the ground or buildings fiercely, making loud noises of metal collisions.

But even so, the scavenging robot remained unmoved, and its main body was still as solid as a mountain, as if all this chaos had nothing to do with it. Magneto realized that he might have encountered an unprecedented opponent. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and prepared to launch a more violent attack.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly said: "Magneto, wait a minute!" He quickly ran to Magneto and whispered, "We can't act rashly. This scavenging robot may not be as simple as we think. We need more information to formulate effective countermeasures."

When Magneto heard this, although he was still unwilling in his heart, he also knew that Bai Ye was right. He temporarily restrained his anger, turned his head to look at Bai Ye, and waited for his next instruction.

Bai Ye quickly thought about countermeasures. He realized that this scavenger robot and the small robots it released might have some connection with the mysterious sphere. If he attacked rashly, it might trigger more serious consequences. So he decided to take a more cautious approach - observation and exploration.

He ordered the soldiers to remain vigilant and sent several teams to approach the scavenger robot from different directions to try to collect more intelligence. He and Magneto used Magneto's magnetic superpower to carefully explore the internal structure of the scavenger robot, hoping to find the key to controlling it.

As time went on, they gradually discovered that the internal structure of the scavenger robot was extremely complex and full of various unknown technological and magical elements. Although the small robots seemed simple, they actually had extremely high intelligence and self-repair capabilities. They constantly absorbed energy and materials from the surrounding environment to maintain themselves and the scavenger robot.

Bai Ye and Magneto realized that they were facing an unprecedented challenge. This scavenger robot and the forces behind it might hide huge secrets and dangers. But they also understand that only by uncovering these secrets can they find a way to fight them and protect the peace and tranquility of this world.

Just when Bai Ye and Magneto were exploring the scavenger robot and its small robot group in depth, trying to find a way to crack it, the scavenger robot that had been silent for a moment suddenly moved again, as if the sleeping giant beast had awakened its last anger. This time, its movements were more rapid, and an ominous blue light emanated from its body, foreshadowing the coming storm.

Seeing this, Bai Ye was reluctant in his heart, but considering the current urgent situation, he had to make a difficult decision. He looked at Magneto with determination in his eyes: "Magneto, do it. We can't let this robot continue to wreak havoc."

Hearing this, Magneto raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was full of expectations for the upcoming battle. He took a deep breath, and the magnetic field of his whole body surged again, as if to tear the entire sky apart. He waved his hand violently, and the powerful magnetic force surged towards the scavenger robot like a tide, intending to completely destroy it.

However, to everyone's surprise, Magneto's attack did not work as expected. The shell of the scavenger robot seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier. No matter how Magneto increased the magnetic output, he could not penetrate the barrier, let alone cause any substantial damage to the robot itself.

Magneto's face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He had never encountered such a powerful opponent, an existence that even his magnetic superpower could not shake. He roared and increased the magnetic output again, but the result was still the same. The scavenger robot still stood there steadily, as if laughing at his incompetence.

Bai Ye was also shocked when he saw this. He knew Magneto's strength very well, and he knew the horror of his magnetic superpower even more. But now, such a powerful existence could not defeat a seemingly ordinary scavenger robot, which made him have a deeper awe and doubt about the origin and power of this robot.

"How could this happen?" Magneto murmured to himself, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger. He couldn't accept that he would fail, especially at such a critical moment.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen Magneto in such a state of disgrace. For a moment, the whole scene fell into a dead silence, with only the low mechanical roar of the scavenging robot echoing continuously.

Bai Ye quickly calmed down, and he realized that this was not the time to be depressed and desperate. He must find a way to crack it, otherwise this scavenging robot is likely to bring greater disaster to the city. He looked at Magneto and said in a deep voice: "Magneto, we need to change our thinking. This robot obviously has extraordinary strength and defense mechanisms. We can't fight it head-on."

When Magneto heard this, although he was still unwilling in his heart, he also knew that Bai Ye was right. He took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and prepared to find a way to crack it with Bai Ye.

Bai Ye began to carefully observe every detail of the scavenger robot, trying to find its weaknesses. He found that although the shell of the scavenger robot was indestructible, there seemed to be a complex energy flow and structural layout inside it. He guessed that these energy flows and structural layouts might be the key to maintaining the operation of the robot and the core of its defense mechanism.

So he put forward a bold hypothesis: "If we can interfere with or destroy these energy flows and structural layouts, we may be able to weaken the robot's defense capabilities and find a way to defeat it."

Magneto's eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately understood what Bai Ye meant and began to use his magnetic superpowers to try to interfere with the energy flow inside the scavenger robot. He carefully manipulated the magnetic field, infiltrating into the robot little by little, trying to find those key energy nodes.

However, this process was much more difficult than expected. The internal structure of the scavenger robot was extremely complex, full of various unknown energy fields and magnetic field interferences. Magneto had to spend a lot of energy and time to deal with these interferences, while also being on guard against the robot's counterattack.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Bai Ye and Magneto were both caught in a tense battle. They kept trying, failing, and trying again, and every failure brought them closer to success. However, just when they were about to find a way to crack it, the scavenger robot suddenly made a more piercing roar, as if foreshadowing a greater crisis was coming...

Faced with the sudden intensification of the roar of the scavenger robot and the unknown threat, Bai Ye decisively made the decision to retreat. He knew that under the current situation, a head-on confrontation would only make the situation worse. He had to lead the team to temporarily evacuate and find a safer place for in-depth analysis and research.

"Everyone, retreat!" Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful, penetrating the noise and tension at the scene. Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately took action and evacuated the scene quickly and orderly. Although Magneto was unwilling, he also understood that this was not the time to show off. He followed Bai Ye and used his magnetic superpowers to ensure safety during the retreat.

During the evacuation, Bai Ye kept observing the movements of the scavenger robot, trying to find more clues from it. However, the robot did not seem to let them go easily. Its mechanical arm began to slowly rise, as if to launch a new attack. But at this moment, a sudden storm swept in, buying precious time for their retreat.

After the storm, Bai Ye and his team had moved away from the area where the scavenger robot was located and returned to a safe area in the city. They immediately began to prepare for analysis, hoping to uncover the real purpose of the scavenger robot as soon as possible.

Bai Ye summoned all the scientific researchers and technicians to summarize all the data and samples they collected on the scene. They used advanced analytical instruments and equipment to conduct a comprehensive study and analysis of the structure, material, energy source and behavior pattern of the scavenger robot.

After several hours of intense work, they finally made some discoveries.
