One day later, Waldo led over three thousand combat robots and finally arrived at the destination.

At first glance, at the end of the line of sight was a huge oval-shaped base resembling an eggshell.

And atop various outposts stood giant figures, each a sentinel of the underground.

These subterranean giants had undergone mechanical modifications.

Their limbs were fitted with mechanical parts.

Some giants even had mechanical eyes installed.

This must be the third base of the underground giants that Gray mentioned!

Waldo examined carefully.

On the other side, others also watched everything Waldo saw through the live broadcast.

"This eggshell is huge! This is the architecture of the underground giants. It seems that building such a structure would require significant technological expertise," said Alanna.

Waldo nodded and said, "The technological prowess of the underground giants surpasses that of surface humans by a considerable margin. If it weren’t for the cataclysmic events in the underwater world, their technology would likely have far surpassed the surface!"

Helen was a bit worried. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Waldo, are you sure you want to launch a direct assault on this base? It probably won’t be that easy! You need to be careful of their ambushes!"

Helen thought comprehensively and considered many aspects of the situation.

Then she continued, "If you attack rashly, there might be dangers! You see, these giants probably noticed your presence a long time ago! They’ve likely set up traps and are just waiting for you to come!"

Waldo reassured, "Don’t worry, I have the strength to face anyone. Even if I can’t hold on, I can escape. No one can stop me!"

Helen opened her mouth, but couldn’t find any words to say.

Later, Waldo talked with the others for a while.

At this point, the combat robots were close to the third base.

And the giants of the third base had already spotted Waldo’s army of combat robots.

They were prepared for battle.

"Who are you? Where do you come from? This is the third base. Leave immediately!" warned one of the underground giants through a loudspeaker.

Indeed, this was the third base!

Waldo smiled and gave the order, "Everyone, get ready. Launch the attack and destroy all the targets in front of you!"

With the command, three thousand large-sized combat robots immediately activated all their weapons, intending to unleash all their ammunition on the targets before them.

However, at this moment, a sudden and intense electromagnetic storm emanated from the underground giant’s base.

Instantly, the programs of the three thousand combat robots under Waldo’s command went into chaos, temporarily losing all combat capabilities.

Waldo narrowed his eyes.

"Electromagnetic interference! Interesting! My three thousand combat robots lost their combat capabilities instantly. Good, very good!"

It could be imagined that within the base of the underground giants at this moment, many were probably laughing uncontrollably.

The fact that the opponent paralyzed thousands of combat robots in an instant indeed took Waldo by surprise.

It should be noted that these were advanced combat robots with strong electromagnetic interference resistance. Moreover, they were system-produced. Normally, they shouldn’t be easily disrupted.

To be honest, it did catch Waldo off guard.

At this moment, even before Waldo could contemplate his next move, his brow suddenly furrowed.

In an instant, his entire body felt a sensation akin to being pricked by countless needles.

This threat came from the third base not far away.

The feeling was like being targeted by a viper!

Actually, it wasn’t a viper; it was the opponent’s offensive weapons aiming at him. It was likely shells or missiles, with a high probability of being missiles!

Waldo thought to himself, but he remained calm, not panicking.

There were many of these pricking sensations, densely packed.

It indicated that there were many weapons aimed at him, frighteningly concentrated.

No, the threat to me is not only from the third base but also from the surrounding mountains and the underground!

In an instant, Waldo raised an eyebrow.

It seems that the giants of the third base had been waiting for his arrival, setting up traps and anticipating him to walk right into them.

"Heh, even so, what of it? This tactic may work against anyone else, but not against me. I am your greatest misfortune!"

Waldo sneered repeatedly.

At this moment, in the command room of the third base, nine of the ten elders of the third base had already gathered. They watched Waldo’s every move on a large screen.

Upon seeing the change in Waldo’s expression, all the elders couldn’t help but smile.

"Hehe, this surface dweller is panicking!"

"Hahaha, did you see that? He doesn’t dare to move! He must have realized that our many weapons are already aimed at him! His strength is not too shabby, though."

"But now, he’s too late. He has already entered our encirclement and can’t escape."

"That’s right, as long as he dares to move recklessly, our hundreds of Longshan missiles will completely destroy him!"

"Even if the missiles can’t deal with him, the massive amount of explosives we buried underground can also blow him to pieces!"

The group smiled with a sense of satisfaction. However, their ultimate goal was not to kill Waldo but to capture him at any cost.

They aimed to extract valuable information from him about the surface world, including the passages and routes to the surface, the technological capabilities of the surface world, the strengths and weaknesses of various factions, and the availability of resources on the surface.

All of this information would be highly valuable to them when it came to dividing and conquering the surface world for their maximum benefit.

So, they quickly decided to send someone to persuade this surface dweller. A powerful underground giant, ranked just below the ten elders, known as a Sky-level giant, left the base and approached Waldo.

As soon as he appeared, the giant spoke, "Are you from the surface? Unfortunately, you are surrounded by us. If you make a move, you’ll have nowhere to run. How about you surrender to me, and I’ll spare your life? But the condition is that we need information about the surface world."

Waldo looked at him with a cold smirk, as if he were looking at a dead man. The underground giant sensed his peculiar gaze and became furious.

"What’s with that look? Are you asking for death?!" The underground giant’s face contorted, and his mechanical arm suddenly transformed into an iron whip, lashing out towards Waldo.

It was astonishing that someone facing certain death would look at him with such eyes, as if he were tired of living.

If anyone were struck by this whip, they would lose several layers of skin, and especially for someone as small as a surface dweller, survival would be considered lucky.

However, after the whip was lashed out, the expression on the face of this Sky-level underground giant immediately changed.

Waldo simply gave him a glance.

Instantly, the underground giant felt his blood flow slow down. His muscles seemed to stiffen all at once, and his nerves felt as if they were abruptly severed.

Ah!

Soon, he was horrified to find that his body was rapidly turning into stone. Then, he could only let out a pained scream before becoming a statue.

In less than a second, a formidable underground giant had instantly become a sculpture.

"Threaten me? Aren’t you seeking death?" Waldo sneered.

He detested it when others threatened him without understanding their own fates.

After killing the underground giant who came to persuade him, Waldo shouted without restraint towards the third base, "Are you planning to hide in the base and act like cowards your whole life? Come out now and surrender! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless! This person is your example."

His voice was loud and resonant, easily spreading throughout the entire third base without the need for a loudspeaker.

"Arrogant!"

"What? This is unreasonable! How dare he kill our people?!"

"He’s simply asking for death!"

"What kind of method did he just use to turn someone into stone directly?!"

"Hmph! This outsider is quite mysterious; his strength shouldn’t be underestimated! However, since he doesn’t know his place and dares to kill in front of us, that’s seeking death!"

At this moment, within the giant base, the expressions of the elders changed drastically. They were exceptionally angry, especially upon hearing Waldo’s words, they were filled with rage.

Finally, the nine elders mobilized, intending to directly subdue this outsider.

"Hmph, I’ll use the cruelest methods to torture him, making his life a living hell! When we have the information we need, that will be his death sentence!"

Soon, the nine of them moved out.

They were all giants who had undergone mechanical modifications.

In this world, giants had two ways to enhance themselves.

One way is through mechanical modification, where various machinery replaces their original bodily limbs and organs to enhance combat capabilities.

The other is genetic modification. However, genetic modification carries significant risks. Those who undergo genetic modification are almost always considered to be lunatics. Moreover, in pursuit of genetic evolution, they usually remain in a state of dormancy.

Boom!

On the oval-shaped eggshell of the third base, a small opening suddenly appeared. Nine figures flew out of it in succession.

They had extremely large body sizes, much larger than ordinary giants. Their bodies had undergone extensive modifications. Not only had they replaced their limbs with mechanical parts, but they had also modified their eyes and various organs.

Even the first elder, who led them, had most of his organs, apart from his head, turned into machinery or highly intricate devices.

This modification technology was extremely advanced. Moreover, it seemed to significantly enhance their abilities.

When they appeared in mid-air, the deafening hum dispersed, and as they spread out and approached Waldo, they unleashed tremendous power.
