Chapter 749: Something’s Off

Sometimes, looks can be deceiving: a lesson I learned when I truly entered the munitions factory

The moment we stepped out of the barely lit elevator, hidden within an unassuming above-ground warehouse, we were all stunned. All it took was a single glance of the factorys insides to take our breath away.

According to the bald general, there should still be a ton of munitions and weapons left here. There might be some in disrepair due to the lack of maintenance, but they should still be here or at least, that was what the intelligence would lead us to believe. When we stepped out of the dimly-lit elevator, we found absolutely nothing!

Your Highness, are you sure this is the right place? Lixiang looked at me in confusion, but the moment she found that my face was indisputably black, she immediately shut her mouth.

The coordinates are definitely correct. As a seasoned soldier, Floater was more than experienced with navigation, thus her opinions were definitely trustworthy. This is the underground munitions factory. Or at least it was a munitions factory.

But there arent any weapons here, not even their parts. Lixiang finally couldnt hold herself back.

My face cramped up

Yes, we all can see that the fabled underground weapons factory which was supposed to be filled to the brim with weapons is, in fact, not filled to the brim with weapons Thanks, Lixiang.

Didnt baldie promise us weapons? Why is it empty now? Did that bald general receive the wrong information, or have the weapons been moved away?

Check the area for any clues.

Theres no way theres nothing here, I refuse to believe we came all the way here for nothing! This underground factory alone has several blocks, one of them has to have a hidden door or sorts.

The three of us stuck together as we searched through the emptied factory storage floor.

A while later, Lixiang actually found something significant. Your Highness, theres a storage device here.

A storage device? I thought to myself in surprise as I rushed over to her side.

Perhaps the girl truly had some sort of talent in searching, but there was actually a storage device hidden in a corner, as she said.

The so-called storage device she found was an old USB-style device used to store data. Because our electronic AIs came with a wide variety of functions, including data storage, such devices had now become obsolete.

This one agrees. Lixiang agreed with me, perhaps on purpose, or perhaps genuinely.

Floater leaned forward a little in an attempt to open the food processor. At the side, I watched with bated breath. For some reason, I couldnt help but feel that something was going to happen, but I couldnt exactly find a reason to stop her either.

The moment her hand was about to touch the lid, a voice suddenly spoke up.

Please dont open it.

It was a young mans voice; a little feminine, or maybe just afraid.

Whos there? Whos speaking? Even though she had already plastered a bunch of talismans in her exosuit, Lixiang still shivered a little. Who was that just now? Your Highness? No that wasnt his Highnesss voice

Its not me. I swallowed out of anxiety. This entire situation was just too creepy, so I kept quiet while I continued watching.

However, this sudden newcomer did nothing to deter Floater whose hand had already touched the giant machine.

Dont look at me!

A shrill scream pierced the air around us, reverberating painfully in our ears to the point where Lixiang nearly jumped.

Please dont look at me weeping noises dont look at me

Whats going on? Look at who? Where is he even hiding?

Perhaps the mysterious voices pleading had finally worked, but Floater seemed to have stopped, though her hand was still on the lid of the machine, ready to open it at a moments notice.

Realising that the other party was scared, Lixiang seemed to have regained some of her composure.

She breathed in deeply, then asked, Who are you where are you?

Who am I I dont remember

Dont remember? Is this the legendary potato brain?
