Chapter 1145 Arks of Humanity

As I talked with Zack and saw Eleanora choosing her mech, I glanced down below for a second. Hendrick had already successfully infiltrated down there, passing through at least five security walls and moving across many areas where he saw stuff they were doing.
"Master, this place is unfathomably deep!" he said. "Every room I've passed through also had some sort of laboratory where they were trying all kinds of materials, their durability, and also were producing new alloys and robots."
Thing is, although very suspicious, so far, he hasn't seen them doing something weird or trying to use something else, so I guess he'll have to continue moving down.
"I see... keep going, Hendrick."
I had to just tell him to keep investigating anyways, I can't waste this chance.
"Yes, master."
Without hesitation, Hendrick continued "swimming" down through the many walls and rooms of below, at the same time as I heard Eleanora walking closer.
"Blake! I picked mine, look!"
She pointed at a huge machine warrior of at least seven meters of height, it had a slender feminine figure, with long and thin legs and arms.
The machine warrior's foot resembled heels, and it also had a secondary pair of arms wrapped around its waist. Experience more tales on empire
The head was V-shaped, with "eyes" in the form of red lights arranged across the entire head.
It also had plane-like wings behind its back, and its entire body was aerodynamically made to be good at flying and moving incredibly fast.
"So this is what you want, interesting," I nodded. "Does it include a weapon?"
"Any weapon of your choice," said Alfred. "You can rent this for fifteen thousand Warrior Points or its Credit equivalents a day. If you would want to purchase it... this model goes for roughly three hundred thousand."
"Interesting, very expensive," I nodded. "I was wondering, what happens when you use a machine beyond its time limit? Does it return here?"
"No, but you gain debt, and interests might accumulate after some time, so be careful!" said Alfred. "If you don't pay your debt within 30 days special bounty hunters might be dispatched to retrieve the machine and capture you."
"Hahah, that's hilarious," I laughed. "Alright, I'll rent this one for three days, is that ok?"
"Why yes! Thank you!" Alfred said happily.
"Understood!" he quickly came back all the way here.
Once we were outside, he possessed his new spider-like machine, and we all flew into the skies, rushing outside of the city.
FLASH!
Until we reached the great desert beyond, the "wasteland" and the "grave of ancient civilizations", it was indeed a never-ending deserting land.
There were large seas of sands to the northeast, canyons to the southwest, and the contaminated se was to the southeast.
There were other areas, but this is what I could see in the map given to me.
"Welcome to the Great Wasteland!" Zack said. "This place's shock full of Mutants, so be careful. Even flying is not safe. Fly too high and a flying mutant will snatch you, fly too low and a mutant will snatch you..."
"You seem very experienced!" said Eleanora. "Worry not, we are eager to fight anything anyways! Right Blake?"
"Hah, yeah," I laughed. "Here, Zack, grab these."
I transferred to his awesome mech four of the six spears he had given to me.
"Four?! I thought it was only three?" he wondered.
"You deserve one more because you're a good person," I nodded. "Now, tell me, where have you seen large ruins of ancient civilizations, Zack?"
"Well there's quite a few around!" he said. "The closest would be in the Great Sunterra Canyons, there's lots of armored Mutants there though, hard to get through unless you got defense-piercing weaponry."
"Well, among the stash of things I have taken from the arena, I'm sure we can manage," I said with a nod. "Let's go there then, Zack! Eleanora! Hendrick!"
"Hendrick?"
As we flew, Zack didn't know who Hendrick was.
"I've called this spider guy Hendrick! Don't worry, he's well equipped to help us out," I said. "That butler guy said he could create spiderwebs made of photon energy, right? That's plenty useful."
"I guess so... but why Hendrick is just... well, whatever."
