The Geared Immortal

Chapter 518

/*unedited*/

Shin City

A week ago…

It was a bright day and the whole city is already bustling with people going to work and traffic both in the street and in the sky is already congested.

Right at this moment, a group of flying vehicles has reached the borders of the city and inside it is a group of people.

They are being led by two beautiful women. One is with silver hair and the other one wears a red gown with a veil on her face.

Qian Li and Qin Lou are currently leading a group of people who came from a planet called earth.

Susan Tang and her group have decided to visit the most advanced city in the empire and wanted to see for themselves what Shin Jiao has started in this world.

Upon seeing the advanced city, they were all dumbfounded. This is because of the futuristic scene in front of them which they can only see in the movies. But now they are seeing it with their own eyes.

The mutant and the mages were all feeling excited to enter the city to see for themselves its grandeur.

And so a fun trip began where they all took pictures of almost everything. This is true especially with the women in the group as they excitedly started to go shopping and spreads everywhere. With the assurance from General Li, they all did what they wanted in the city and just have fun.

However, unknown to the group a danger is currently lurking in the shadows observing their every move.

'Charlie 02, this is Delta command. I'm seeing some strange reaction on my sensor. Please proceed with caution. The location of the target is on the west side of the shopping district.'

"Roger that… Charlie 02 checking…"

A 2-meters tall mech suddenly jumps out from a corner and activated its cloaking mechanism. Then it hovers towards the shopping district as it began to scan its surroundings for strange fluctuation in the air.

However, after scanning for a while, the mech didn't find anything and decided to find a place to observe the place.

"This is Charlie 02, I didn't found anything. I will stay in this location just in case." The mecha operator said as he let his mech land carefully on a 4-story building.

He waited for a while and just opens his scanner. But found nothing, then the operator saw a familiar figure.

"That young woman is beautiful. I think she is the one who just arrives today. She really looks like the crown princess of the Xi empire." the man muttered to himself while watching the screen in front of him.

While doing so, he suddenly notices a blinking mark on his screen.

Beep! Beep!

"Wait, this is a Qi fluctuation. There is an infant soul realm cultivator activating a spell." The man immediately though and immediately reported.

"This Charlie 02, I found the target. He is an infant soul realm cultivator and is currently activating a spell."

Bzzt! Bzzt! *radio noise

"I repeat, this is Charlie 02, I found the target. Please respond, Delta command."

Bzzt! Bzzt! *radio noise

"Base! Please respond!"

Bzzt! Bzzt! *radio noise

"Damn it! I have a bad feeling about this… Ah… F*ck it. I'll just stop you first then ask questions later." The mecha operator said as he immediately activated his mech and directly flew in front of the person wearing a black hooded cloak.

'This is Shin city guard force… please stop channeling your spell or be shot!' he said on his speaker.

The man didn't bother with the mecha operator and the giant machine in front of him and continuously chanted his spell. Then he looks at the mecha in front of him and suddenly extended his arm towards it.

The mecha immediately made a mode and activated its shield.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion sent tremors everywhere and a dust cloud covers the area.

But soon a loud cry of a person was heard as the mech skewer the man with its long sword. But the weird thing is, the man being skewered is still moving as if nothing happened.

Then he raised his hand and sent his flying sword towards the mecha.

Clang! Psst!

The echo of the flying sword hitting the energy shield of the mecha reverberated through the air. But it didn't stop there as the sound continues echoing throughout the place.

This scene has already attracted too much attention and many people have already run inside the buildings.

This is because the buildings in Shin City are protected by strong barriers that can protect everyone inside of it, even if a nascent realm attacks them. This is because the energy from these barriers is connected to the main power line of the city, which is underground in the original underground base created by Shin Jiao where many scientists and researchers of the city conduct their research and development.

 "This is bad, why is this man not dying?" the mecha operator said as he waves his sword and threw the man to the ground.

However, once the man fell, he slowly picks himself up and with a red glow in his eyes continues attacking the mecha in front of him.

"Damn it! Is this the famous undead… how come it was able to enter the city?" he said in a panic.

Unknown to the man, this same scene is currently happening all over the city and many mecha operators are battling these undead cultivators which seem slow, but their skill and ability are on par with a normal gold core realm cultivator.

While this is happening, Susan Tang is currently with a mutant soldier hiding inside a building. They are watching the fight that's happening on the street.

She was astounded at the mecha and the man which seems to be not dying even after receiving such grievous wounds.

Suddenly in the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar figure. And when she saw that person, her eyes glowed in excitement.

"Shin…" she muttered.

But she was not sure, so she decided to follow that figure which seems to be somewhere in the building.

She looks everywhere while worry can be seen in her expression. Then when she reached the ground floor, she saw that many people are currently watching the fight outside while taking video recordings of it.

But her attention is everywhere as she tried to look for that person who looks like Shin Jiao. Suddenly in one corner, she once again saw him and this time, she can clearly see his face and her excitement is now evident. She wanted to call out his name but, she saw him entering a corner.

Susan immediately ran as fast as she could. But a figure stopped her.

"Miss Tang… where are you going?" one of the mutant soldiers asked, it was Denese.

The mutant with the power of thought perception and can perceive other's locations, she also has psychokinesis. When she noticed that Susan Tang left her side, she immediately knew where she was and run towards her.

In their travel in this world, her powers have improved drastically which made her really happy. Some of the mages in their group told her that she has attained a high mage level, which is equivalent to a core-forming realm cultivator.

And so it was easy for her to track Susan Tang.

"Denese, wait… I need to go. Tell the others that I found Shin Jiao." Susan said while running towards the corner where she saw Shin Jiao's figure turning.

"Wait! Wait! Miss Tang! Wait for me!" Denese shouted as she also rushes towards Susan Tang.

When she turned to the corner, she was met with a strong force that knocked her back.

Denese fell to the ground in a sorry state with the shopping bags in her hand were thrown all over the place.

She almost lost her consciousness as she held on her face. While running, she felt like hitting a concrete wall making her nose bleed and her body a bit sore.

"What is happening?!" she thought as she picks herself up and immediately took out her phone.

She tried to scan her surroundings but found out that her connection to Susan Tang was cut off and she could not find her anywhere.

"This is not possible!" she muttered and tried to use her thought perception and felt her connection to every person inside the building.

However, what made her feel alarmed is that none of them is Susan Tang.

She even tried calling her phone but it seems that she is not answering it.

Then she dialed another number and her call connected, it was Mary Anderson who answered.

'Denese, are you and Susan okay? There is a huge commotion in the city. Where are the two of you now?' Mary asked with a worried tone.

"I am fine, but… Susan is missing."

'What?! How did that happen?'

"I was with her, then she suddenly ran and said that she found, Shin Jiao. But I think she was tricked… I have a bad feeling about this… I think someone took her." Denese said while biting her lower lip.

She felt guilty as she could not protect her friend. She and Susan have been a bit close these past few days in their travel as the two seem to click with each other.

And now she felt guilty for letting her friend down.

Not long later, the commotion stopped as the 'undead' cultivators were killed off by the mecha team in the city.

Inside a room in the Shin City municipal building, a gloomy atmosphere envelops each person in it.

They all showed a worried look on their faces as they didn't what to do next. Denese was their best tracker and even she could not find Susan's traces. Hence they all feel helpless.

Suddenly the door in the room opens.
