If it hatched into any one of these mutated beasts, the subsequent beast tide would definitely be crushing!
However, the problem now was how to hatch this egg?
Lin Chen had done some studies on the eggs of ordinary creatures before. All that was needed was to incubate them at the right temperature in the right place.
However, how should he incubate the mechanical egg?
He could not just randomly find a cyber mutated chicken to sit on it to hatch it, right?
Wouldn't that be too ridiculous!
Hence, one had to rely on science for any difficult problems!
Lin Chen asked the invincible system directly.
"System, is there any way to hatch this egg?"
Soon, the omnipotent system replied.
[Ding! The Mecha Manufacturing Cabin is able to carry out incubation!]
"Good stuff! Is the Mecha Manufacturing Cabin actually all-powerful?"
Lin Chen could not help but feel emotional.
This Mecha Manufacturing Cabin had not been idle since the beginning.
Whether it was supplying a mecha army, replenishing energy, or even repairing mechas, it was able to accomplish it.
In the end, it was even able to hatch the mechanical egg now. This was simply too delightful!
Lin Chen originally wanted to continue deeper into the forest to find other high-grade cyber beasts.
However, he still knew what it meant to quit while he was ahead.
In addition, he could not wait to see what kind of creature it was, so Lin Chen chose to return directly.
The Venerable Dragon God was so fast that he returned to the Hegemony Zero in about ten minutes.
At this moment, the Thunder Overlord, Condor No. 1, and Apocalypse No. 1 had already been repaired.
The Megalodon Shark mecha army was also ready to attack.
This way, the space in the store was freed up.
After Lin Chen placed the mechanical egg in the cabin to hatch, he removed the Venerable Dragon God from his body and placed it aside to replenish energy.
This was because the system had given him the time needed for incubation as five hours.
Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this time to take a shower and have a good sleep.
…
Underground in the central city of Stick Country.
Joseph, who was admiring his 'masterpiece', suddenly received a call.
"Hello, who is this?"
Along with Joseph's question, a rough male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Lord Joseph. I'm William."
"William?"
"How are things going?"
William was the team leader of the cyber people sent by Joseph. They were in charge of exploring the uninhabited areas of Earth and some ancient creature habitats.
"Lord Joseph, we found a dead S-grade mecha beast in the center of the polar region. From the looks of it, it seemed to have been directly killed by lightning."
"What about its energy core?" Joseph asked indifferently.
"Sir, its energy core has also been destroyed by the lightning…"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Joseph. It seemed we were too late…"
William's voice trailed off. He was a little timid.
This was because their team had already set off for about three days and had only discovered this S-grade mecha beast. Moreover, its energy core had also been dug out.
According to Joseph's character, they would definitely be reprimanded.
However, Joseph was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he became even more excited.
"Quick! Give me the coordinates! I'll send someone over immediately!"
If there was someone present, they would definitely be able to see the sizzle and anticipation on his face.
There was even a hint of… malevolence?
"Ah? Yes!"
William almost did not react.
If it was the usual Joseph, he would probably fly into a rage the moment he said that he had failed.
But now, it was as if he had become a different person. He was actually so excited that he asked them to send the coordinates.
Was he going to order someone to beat them up?
However, despite his fear, William still obediently sent the landmarks to Joseph after hanging up.
A minute later, Joseph received the coordinates from the polar region.
After seeing this, the expression on his face became even more hideous.
He was even mumbling some strange language.
It was as if… he was possessed by an evil spirit!
"As expected… I've found you!"
"I didn't expect the time rift yesterday to actually activate you in advance…"
"I'll see where you can run this time…"
Then, he let out a crazy roar towards the sky.
A moment later, he regained his composure and made a call.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Mr. Joseph, do you have any orders?"
It was Kim Handsome!
"Mr. Kim, I've just sent you a set of coordinates. Take your third generation cyber army and head there. When the time comes…"
…
Five hours was fast. Lin Chen only took a shower and slept for a while. It was already past 12 noon on the 12th of March.
In another two days, the mechanical beast tide would descend.
Lin Chen did not care much about this now.
After all, this beast tide was just a small interlude. The real prey was still Joseph.
Therefore, the first thing he did when he woke up was to get Star to use the Heavenly Eye System to analyze the important things that had happened while he was asleep.
The analytical report was as follows:
[Notification: Nothing happened in Choebon. Stick Country's Kim Handsome formed an army of cyber people four hours ago and is advancing towards the center of the polar region. Nothing happened in Big Beauty Country, but five hours ago, in the underground of the central city, I suddenly detected a satellite phone call from the frequency band of the polar region's center. After that, from the same place, there was communication with Kim Handsome in another place.]
"The polar region??"
Lin Chen learned this important detail from the analysis.
His intuition told him that something was definitely happening in the polar region!
"Quick, help me get the coordinates sent out from the polar region's frequency band at that time, as well as the receiving coordinates of the Stick Country."
[Roger! Retrieving…]
[Receiving coordinates: 36°51′N 125°33′E]
[Polar region's coordinates: 90°S, 0° East-West]
…
After receiving the coordinates, Lin Chen immediately took out the satellite map corresponding to the coordinates.
"Sure enough…"
As expected, the coordinates given out by Stick Country were indeed the canned food processing factory that he had seen before.
He knew that there was definitely something fishy inside!
Moreover, he was certain that Joseph, who had not been found, was definitely under the canning factory!
As for what Joseph was up to, Lin Chen had no idea.
However, the things in the polar region were definitely relevant to him!
Hence, Lin Chen placed his focus on the coordinates of the polar region.
"These polar coordinates are actually in the center of the South Pole?"
This surprised him.
Usually, the more special a place was, the more strange things would happen.
Or it could have some rare treasures!
Otherwise, Joseph would not have sent so many people there.
Therefore, Lin Chen naturally had to go there as well!
Before that, he went to the Mecha Manufacturing Cabin first. At this moment, the mechanical egg had already hatched.
Just as Lin Chen opened the hatch of the incubation room, his expression suddenly froze.
"This…?"
