Chapter 923: Sentinel Against Water (2)
Remember [800โ Little รท Say โ Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
I've known about centipedes in the sentinel's body for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.
If I'm not mistaken, this centipede must have been in the Sentinel's body long before the cataclysm, when the Blue Bird Company deliberately cultivated the Sentinel.
This centipede was far more than several times larger than the one with the teeth, and it also shone with a faint blue light.
I don't know what to do with this Gu worm for a while, if I kill it...... Will that result in the total loss of the Sentinel's abilities?
But when you think about it, it doesn't seem likely...... Because all the Gu worms in my body have crawled out, I haven't seen the slightest weakening.
But even then I didn't do it at the first time, I'm still observing...... I'm looking to see what this Gu worm's next move is.
I saw that after the black centipede was forcibly vomited out of the sentry's mouth, it first rolled on the ground, and then ran towards the sentry's head at a very fast speed and bit it back again.
The centipede, as if it could escape gravity, flew into the air like a spring and hung back on the sentry's nose again, as if it was about to crawl back through its nostrils.
I can see very clearly, the sentry obviously has a great fear of this bug, and this creature is clearly biting frantically at the sentry, seeing that this bug is about to burrow back into the sentinel's body, I immediately pulled the centipede's tail from behind as I did just now, and at the same time, my own Gu worm also rushed to help in time, and my Gu worm bit down directly from the middle of the centipede, biting the centipede directly into two pieces.
Then I saw a black aura coming out of the body of the half of the worm, and I pushed the sentry away some distance the moment the anger touched the sentry, and then the two half worms fell to the ground and stopped moving.
I was afraid that this thing would still be torn apart like a living Gu man, and it would still be able to attack the opponent, so I used the Gu musket to completely spray this thing into ashes.
After the last flame was gone, the fuel in the Gu Musket was also depleted, and I threw the gun on the ground, looking at the sentry lying next to me and the tooth on the other side that had completely lost his breath.
I still hadn't let my guard down on the Sentinel, and I was even ready to confront it, but the Sentinel didn't have the slightest desire to attack me, but the blue light in its eyes was still strong.
I tried to call it, but the sentry immediately looked up at me, and I saw that its mouth and body were retching again, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and my heart said Could it be that there are other Gu worms in its body?
However, after the second retching, the sentry vomited only a cloud of blood, and its body began to tremble.
I've actually had this kind of experience, when the Gu worm in my own body first left, I also felt a brief discomfort, I saw this and hurriedly reached out and touched the sentry's body, only to see that the spiritual energy in my body began to gather again, and quickly drilled into the sentinel's body.
At the same time, I faintly smelled a wonderful aroma of herbs.
......
I haven't smelled this herb in a while!
It was originally on the island, and I first smelled it from the Moon's body, but since I woke up in the villa and had my last intimate encounter with the Moonspirit, the smell hasn't been seen again, so much so that I've forgotten about it a bit.
Later, after the rest of us were injected with the Gu worm virus catalyst, and the physique allowed the Gu worm virus to work with the accelerated effect of the catalyst and strengthened the physique of other people around me, this smell also appeared on their bodies one after another, but this taste was still relatively light.
But...... Now the smell is coming out again, so my first reaction is still that the moon spirit is coming, but there is now dead silence around me except for the sound of a sandstorm, and with my current hearing level, any wind and grass in the vicinity will definitely not escape my ears.
After the sentry vomited blood, he fell directly on the ground, and I took the opportunity to sit on the ground and rest, on the one hand, to recover my physical strength and psionic energy, and on the other hand, to input enough psionic energy into the sentinel's body.
......
The flavor of that herb is getting stronger!
Soon I was amazed to find that the smell was clearly coming from my own body!
Well......
More precisely...... These flavors ...... Actually, it's the smell of psionic energy coming out of me!
This is really unprecedented, because psionic energy is tasteless, and now this strange herbal fragrance has appeared.
It was then that I realized that the scent of herbs that I had been smelling on the island for a long time and after returning to mainland had actually come from my own.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was possible, because I had never smelled a similar smell on Yuechen's body or other Gu things that only existed on land, which meant that this smell was actually unique to the "Gu things" on our island, and this "Gu things" included not only all kinds of animals, but also us humans.
So here's the problem......
Who is the total source of this taste?
If this is a scented psionic energy, then I have reason to think that this is a "new psionic energy" that is separate from the moon spirit and different from the spiritual energy. If this assumption is true, it means that I can inflict substantial damage on the Moon Spirit in psionic means.
The smell grew stronger and stronger, and at last it was completely permeated around us, and at the same time, the sentinel's dry vomiting of blood lessened considerably, and then I saw the sentry jump up and bark at me.
I'm familiar with its tone this time, and I've fought with the sentinels on the island more often than many people, and although we don't understand each other's languages, I can still tell the kind of calls it makes.
Its voice was clearly telling me to follow it and leave.
Sure enough, then the sentry quickly advanced a few steps towards the south, and this was the direction that Qin Xiaolu had just left.
I don't know if Qin Xiaolu and the other two Gu babies escaped now, but with their skills, without the attack of the sentinels and teeth, it should be very easy to leave.
I followed the sentry forward for a long distance, about a kilometer, when I saw a large number of buildings in front of me.
Judging by the direction and approximate distance, this should be the same town where we stopped before, but in a different location.
A circle of barbed wire and sandbag bunkers was set up around the perimeter of one of the office buildings about 10 floors, and several black pickup trucks and other miscellaneous civilian vehicles were parked outside, all of which were dusty, but this was obviously left by the sandstorm just now, not that these cars had not been driven for a long time.
In fact, the fact that you can see so many neatly arranged cars in such a place proves that these cars have owners.
The sentry leaned down and barked at me a few more times, then bit his tail and jumped at the bunkered building a few more times.
I frowned, and thought to myself, could this be to let me into the building?
What's here?
I'm still resistant to this relatively claustrophobic environment, as I don't have any teammates around me except the Sentinels.
But the sentry seemed insistent, and I took a deep breath and began to cautiously approach the side of the building with my mountain opener.
I only have the Kaishan Knife in my hand now, and the Daguan King Knife that I captured when I was chasing Chen Lie before was already thrown away by me because it was too cumbersome, and the fuel for the Gu Musket was also exhausted.
As I approached, I listened carefully to the noise around me, and soon I faintly heard a faint "hum" coming from about three floors of the building.
I frowned, it was the sound of some kind of equipment or machine running on a cycle.
You must know that this town is a completely abandoned town from the outside and from the inside, and in fact, most of the town is now deserted, except for some of the living places where the Salvation Army is inhabited.
But how can machinery and equipment still operate in such a deserted town?
I listened to it for a while and realized that the sound was very similar to the movement of a refrigeration.
Refrigeration......
So far, the only equipment I've seen that needs to be cooled is the kind of "worm spreader" that Bluebird set up in large numbers when I first returned to land, which are metal spheres of various sizes that resemble hornet's nests and are full of holes on the perimeter, each of which is connected to a refrigeration unit with a large amount of liquid nitrogen.
However, these spreaders had been almost destroyed months ago, some of them by our deliberate search, and some of them were damaged by the Salvation Army and other Gu objects.
Since it still exists, it means that this equipment probably has nothing to do with the Blue Bird Company, and this eighty percent was set up after the collapse of the Blue Bird Company.
I took a slight breath and quickly approached the window of the side room, which was not sealed, and I went straight inside, and soon the sentry followed.
To be honest, I'm still skeptical about the identity of the sentry, and I've turned back so many times that I can't figure out which dog it is......
But I don't have any companions around me now but it......
Once inside, the refrigeration sound was clearer, it was indeed coming from the three floors above, and I heard a new sound this time.
This is Tai Sui's "purring" sound......
From the bottom floor of the Blue Bird Company's base over there, we had seen the scene when Tai Sui was connected to the communicator, so I was ready to face Tai Sui.
The sound of "buzzing...... refrigeration and "purring" intertwined, combined with my heartbeat, and a strange string of notes played in my ears, and I tried not to distract myself from these jumbled sounds, and began to move upwards little by little......
I went up the spiral staircase in the middle, and the sentry followed me the whole time.
Halfway through, I suddenly felt a little dizzy in my head, and I felt that there should be another disturbance of lucid dreams nearby, and I immediately became nervous, but now the detector can't be turned on, and I can't see if there are super touching people nearby.
Anyway, Wen Yun, the Holy Maiden and Ouyang Jingjing were obviously chasing me quickly, but now they are nowhere to be seen, which is also the most distracting thing for me now.
Cautiously reaching the third floor, I saw a huge metal ball in the center of a hall in front of me, which at first glance looked a bit like the kind of ball that had trapped Qianqian before.
However, there is a significant difference between the two, because the periphery of this sphere is covered with honeycomb-like holes, and it is really a spreader!
I rub!
How come it is that by now, there are still spreaders that have not been dismantled?
It stands to reason that even if this thing survived, there should be no liquid nitrogen refrigeration to keep it working, but now this thing is functioning normally, which means that someone is maintaining it regularly.
I immediately swept around the ball, first seeing several huge tanks of liquid nitrogen behind it, and then the Tai Sui I had just heard the "purring" just now. This Tai Sui is not very large, but I can see that as it breathes, a lot of small black worms peeking out from under its flesh.
Further back were a few tables that had been put together, and I saw some dirty black plates on them, as well as some food scraps that had not yet spoiled.
Hell, it's really someone who keeps it here on a regular basis!
I glanced at the sentinel, and said it had brought me here...... Is it because it's been here before?
Seeing that there was no one around, I immediately used a mountain opener to cut the connection between the liquid nitrogen pipe and the ball, and in my previous experience, once the refrigeration system was broken, the effect of the ball would be self-defeating.
Sure enough, after cutting it off, I noticed that the ball began to emit a slight black aura from the inside out, and then it stopped moving completely.
Tai Sui still stopped in place, I walked quickly to it, and then I saw that the little black Gu worm in his body fled quickly like seeing a plague god, and I unceremoniously used the mountain opener to dismantle this Tai Sui into eight pieces.
After all of this, I started to walk over to the ball and look at the contents of the thing, and through the holes, I saw that the ball contained a lot of black liquid, and it smelled fishy.
But that's not the point, the point is that these liquids will emit strands of slight psionic energy from the inside out, although it may not seem like a large amount, but in the long run, the total amount of psionic energy will be very exaggerated.
......
Should I call it a "psionic spreader" now?
Could it be these devices set up by the Moon Spirit?
I was still thinking about it when I heard the detector in my pocket go off again.
I hurriedly pulled it out and took a look, only to see a flickering screen showing three green dots near me, but before I could take a closer look, it went black again.
