"Huh..."

Biaozi took a deep breath, remained silent for a while, and then said, "From now on, without my command, don't act rashly. Throw those survivors from your fridge into the fridge on my side."

"Yes!"

...

Soon.

Through some not-so-gentle interrogation, the real answer was obtained. It turned out that over these days, train thugs had been occasionally sent into the city ruins to search. Then, these survivors who lived through Doomsday would ambush these lone thugs in this way.

Thereby seizing weapons and food, etc.

But...

When the Pope's Mecha landed, none of them made a move. It was obvious they couldn't win, yet they were still discovered and captured.

"Keep them for now, whether to kill them or not, wait for Master Mang's order."

Biaozi withdrew his gaze from these people. Only this city could operate this way; in other cities, with a sweep of the Target Detection Radar, you still want to hide—if you have a breath left, even hiding underground won't save you.

"Go deeper!"

"Yes."

...

Inside the train.

Chen Mang leaned against the back of the chair, looking at a blueprint in his hand. He wasn't worried about Biaozi and the others. Over these days, Biaozi and the others had gained a lot of combat experience. Moreover, with the mecha and "fridge" for protection, if something happened in this situation,

then dying would be just dying.

Pure waste.

Wasting his resources.

"Time Rift Detector": Red-grade Accessory Blueprint.

This was a blueprint he brought out of Neon City. He didn't actually understand what this accessory was used for and didn't know what a Time Rift was, but he was certainly not going to sell such a high-grade accessory blueprint; he would definitely keep it for himself.

Building it required 50,000 units of iron ore.

After consuming 50,000 units of iron ore, a small clock was embedded in the control panel. This was the prototype of the accessory, which had the effect of...

Detecting "Time Rifts" within ten thousand meters.

The adjacent screen was empty, not in a mosaic-blocking state, but rather not detecting anything. He glanced at the remaining units of iron ore and temporarily did not upgrade; red-grade accessory upgrades were quite expensive, and he didn't have that much money on him.

Before upgrading the Train Armor, the funds were still sufficient.

Damn it.

The more he thought, the angrier he got, selling one broken armor for such an outrageous price!

Chen Mang casually picked up a Level 10 telescope beside him, looking into the distance. When the Target Detection Radar was unavailable, this primitive thing like a telescope showed its worth again. This was what he just upgraded; he had upgraded a Level 20 telescope earlier.

He just created a bunch of small gadgets in one go.

Prepared to hang them all in the store, whether anyone buys them is another story, at least the variety of goods looks much richer now.

Wait——

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Mang's mind. He thought of something and immediately switched out the Bunny Cloud wheel, flying into the air heading towards the ruins over "Qiu City." He thought of one thing.

That is...

The reason Qiu City was blocking the Target Detection Radar couldn't be because of the presence of a "Time Rift," right?

...

The Constant Star Train was flying in the air, delving into the ruins of "Qiu City." The "Time Rift Detector" continued to operate, and when within ten thousand meters from the city center.

"Beep beep beep beep..."

An alarm sounded inside the train.

Chen Mang looked out the window at Biaozi and the others landing on the rooftop of a tall building not far away, then looked at the screen corresponding to the "Time Rift Detector."

A rift resembling a black hole was slowly appearing on the screen.

And it was slowly rotating.

Composed entirely of black particles, it looked quite mysterious. He really did guess correctly; there was indeed a Time Rift here.

"Ai, what is a Time Rift?"

"I don't know," Ai's voice sounded inside the train. "There's no related information in the database."

"..."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly, first piloting the Constant Star Train to pick up Biaozi and the others before slowly approaching the rift shown on the "Time Rift Detector."

This place felt eerie, not suitable for Biaozi and others to explore.

The screen indicated a distance of less than one hundred meters.

He didn't dare go any closer.

Yet with the naked eye, almost nothing was visible, just the faint sense that space seemed to twist in the air not far away—similar to the distortion caused by burning heat.

The next moment——

"Boom boom boom!"

A machine cannon aimed at the direction of the Time Rift fired violently, each shell accurately hitting that Time Rift, disappearing into thin air the moment it hit, without a trace.

"Good heavens..."

Chen Mang's curiosity was aroused, this thing looked a bit like a Teleportation Gate, but one that was unknown?

"So, could the Mechanical Civilization's 'Teleportation Gate' very possibly have been invented by researching Time Rifts?"

"Perhaps, Train Captain, I really don't have these materials in my database."

He piloted the Constant Star Train to slowly approach once again, this time getting as close as ten meters. With the naked eye, he could already clearly see the air in front of him slightly twisting; he dared not get any closer, this distance was already a bit risky.

But he really wanted to see what was inside this Time Rift.

He opened the window.

Glanced at the control panel, casually picking up the recently crafted Level 10 telescope, walked to the window, aimed, and gave it a strong toss, hitting the target successfully!

The telescope disappeared the moment it hit.

"Bring over the Mechanical Eye."

"None," Ai's voice came from inside the train. "This place is completely blocked, when Biaozi was exploring outside earlier, I couldn't even connect to the Mechanical Eye on him."
