Shen Jingqi felt the car shake, and when he saw the robot in the rearview mirror, his heart tightened.

"Xu An, look behind!" he shouted loudly. Xu An quickly turned his head, saw the robot, and without hesitation, leaned out from his seat with an iron rod he found in the car, and struck the robot's arm with force. The iron rod collided with the robot's arm with a loud "bang," causing the arm to shift slightly, but it didn't let go.

"Use more force!" Shen Jingqi shouted, his voice a bit hoarse from tension. Xu An gritted his teeth and struck the robot's arm again. This time, the iron rod finally managed to break the robot's arm loose, freeing the car from its grasp.

However, the danger was not over yet. More robots surrounded them from all directions, forming a tight circle that trapped the car within. Shen Jingqi felt his heartbeat accelerating, as if it were about to burst from his chest. He knew that if they couldn't break out of the encirclement quickly, they would be in real trouble.

"Let's go for it!" Shen Jingqi roared, flooring the accelerator. The car shot forward like a black lightning bolt, heading for the weakest point in the circle. The robots opened fire, bullets whizzing past the car. Shen Jingqi closed his eyes tightly, relying on instinct and intuition to steer the vehicle.

"Boom!" The car rammed into a robot, continuing to charge forward. But immediately, several more robots blocked the way. Shen Jingqi didn't hesitate for a second, driving the car straight into them. The collision produced a cacophony of sounds, the screeching of metal twisting and breaking sent shivers down the spine.

In the intense collision, the car finally broke through the circle of robots. Shen Jingqi and Xu An let out a long breath, but their hearts were still in their throats. Their bodies trembled slightly from the tension, and their hands felt numb from exertion.

"We... we finally made it out," Xu An stuttered, a residual trace of fear still in his eyes.

Shen Jingqi nodded, his eyes showing fatigue but more so determination. "But this battle is far from over. The mastermind's plot still looms over this world. We need to find their lair quickly and destroy their plans to save this world." His voice was low but full of strength.

The two sat silently in the car for a moment, both contemplating their next move. The car drove slowly on the road in the abandoned factory, the tires making a "squeaking" sound against the ground, as if echoing their anxious heartbeats.

"What should we do next?" Xu An broke the silence, his eyes filled with confusion.

Shen Jingqi furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and said, "We need to analyze the clues we have so far to see if we can find any trace of the mastermind's lair. Although those documents contain some vague clues, they require further sorting and analysis."

They began rummaging through the documents they had found earlier in the car, carefully examining every detail. Time passed by second by second, their eyes scanning through the documents rapidly, with their brains working at full speed.

"Look here, this address seems a bit suspicious," Xu An suddenly pointed to a part of the document, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Shen Jingqi leaned over for a closer look at the address and said, "Indeed, this address looks well-concealed. It might just be one of the mastermind's outposts. But we can't act rashly—we need to plan thoroughly first."

The two started discussing their plan in the car, considering every detail meticulously. Their eyes sparked with the light of wisdom as they occasionally whispered to each other and jotted down every idea.

"We need to first assess the defenses of that outpost and see how many robots and guards there are. Then, find the right time to infiltrate and gather evidence against the mastermind," Shen Jingqi said, his fingers gliding over the map as if mapping out a thrilling campaign.

Xu An nodded, adding, "And we have to be cautious of their surveillance systems. They might already be aware of our actions and secretly monitoring us."

Just as they were immersed in the joy of planning, they suddenly heard a "beep beep" alarm from the car. Shen Jingqi and Xu An exchanged a look, a sense of unease welling up inside them.

"What's going on? Is the car malfunctioning?" Xu An asked anxiously.

Shen Jingqi quickly checked the car's dashboard and discovered it was the fuel tank alarm. "Not good, the fuel tank is running low!" he shouted, his eyes filled with urgency.

They looked around, realizing there was no gas station in the abandoned factory. If they couldn't find gasoline soon, they would be stranded there, and the robots might catch up with them.

"We need to find gasoline quickly," Shen Jingqi said, a hint of resolve in his eyes.

The two got out of the car and began searching for gasoline in the abandoned factory. The air was filled with a pungent smell, and various machines and equipment were scattered around haphazardly, resembling a giant maze. They proceeded cautiously through the factory, constantly alert for any potential dangers.

Suddenly, they heard a strange noise. It sounded like it came from afar, yet seemed to be right next to them. Their hearts suddenly raced faster, a foreboding feeling rising up.

"What's that sound? Could it be those robots again?" Xu An asked nervously, his hands clenching into fists.

Shen Jingqi perked up his ears, listened carefully, and said, "Doesn't quite sound like robot footsteps; it seems more like some kind of mechanical operation. Let's go check it out, but we have to be careful."

The two cautiously followed the direction of the sound, their bodies tense, ready to respond to any danger at any moment.

Finally, they arrived at a doorway. The sound was emanating from inside the room. Shen Jingqi and Xu An exchanged a glance, then Shen Jingqi slowly pushed open the door.

The room was filled with a strong oil smell, and some large mechanical equipment was placed around. In the center of the room, a massive machine was operating, producing a "buzzing" sound. Various pipes and wires surrounded the machine, appearing very complex.
