Chapter 383: Black Plague
Just when everyone thought Barrett was going to be done, he just took a step back and stopped.
The wound in the chest did not come out of any blood, except for the armor being cut.
Galugo, who didn't care about this, collided with Man, and for a while punches and kicks were added.
Man is not a melee type of fighter after all, and although he has no brains to attack, he is still blocked by Garugo after a stalemate.
"Ho-ho-ho............" A series of meaningless laughs erupted from his mouth, and Man's hand waved in the direction of "Divine Thunder".
Boom!
The armor on the front of the "Divine Thunder" made a muffled sound, as if it had been fired by an air cannon.
It's a pity that this is also a battle mech, and the composite armor absorbs all the damage very well.
Immediately, the automatic counterattack program came into play, and the electric shocker on the shoulder of "Divine Thunder" was lowered.
Bite! Sparks erupted from under its left wrist, and pillars of steel were shot out.
Seeing this situation, the Dragon Eagle team, which had originally adopted a flanking posture, immediately dispersed, leaving only Garugo to entangle with Man, waiting for an opportunity to force him into the range circled by the steel pillar.
Zizi ............
Bright white arcs continue to jump between the electric stunners, and the two arcs intertwine to make a crisp "pop" sound.
Mann, of course, sensed the danger of such a thing, and he kept trying to get out of the shooting tunnel, only to be blocked by Garugo, who was determined to stop him, each time.
And Barrett focused his attention on him at this time.
"That's how powerful this thing is." Barrett secretly thought in his heart that he deliberately tried this so-called A-class power, but found that it couldn't even break through the protection of Kama's initiative, let alone destroy the armor that Kama had condensed.
However, the armor on his body did not hold it, and a hole was torn.
"About thirty energy extremes, you can absorb the whole energy." Kama determined the power level of a man korek, but unfortunately in her eyes, this energy level did not even meet the standard of a basic warrior.
Zila!!
The thunder arc that was originally jumping shot out violently, jumping out of the air in the shape of a razer and heading straight for the steel nails that shot on the ground!
A violent electric current kept jumping between several steel nails, making a loud noise.
Struggling to force Man back into coverage, Garugo took advantage of his strength to get out.
Thunder and lightning kept beating on Man's body, and soon his facial features were full of bright white light, and then flames erupted!
In just seven seconds, Man Corek fell to the ground with a heavy blow, convulsing continuously.
His body was completely blackened, with a large hole in his shoulder and left foot.
"Can this level of shock be absorbed?" Barrett asked silently in his heart, knowing that energy was Kama's food.
"There is no problem, the energy level is one hundred and forty, and it can be completely absorbed." Karma finished the calculation and gave a conclusion.
One hundred and forty, that is to say, the approximate output of the "Divine Thunder" full force attack is only a little higher than that of the A-level outward ability.
On the other hand, external release is the worst level of ability............
"So what's the highest absorption capacity?" Barrett watched as the Dragonhawk squad approached the corpse on the ground, then pulled a marker off his chest.
It was Man Corek's original troop logo.
"The absorption capacity depends on the number of compatriots, and we can discard our compatriots to digest energy." Kama's voice was a little happy, and it seemed that she longed for more of her compatriots.
"At this stage, it can absorb up to nine hundred energy levels, and if it is higher, the number will be sacrificed."
"Divine Thunder" also lifted the battle mode and began to move on.
As it walked past Barrett's body, its primary monitor shifted to Barrett's side, focusing on his wounds.
"It doesn't seem to hurt." Hanyu said, then wrote a line in the folder.
"............" Ace didn't speak, she still sat there with her legs crossed, quietly looking at Hanyu's side face.
Although Hanyu was a little uncomfortable with her gaze, he didn't say anything and continued with what he was doing.
This "Divine Thunder" can basically fight on its own, and it does not need her to operate.
Next, the Dragon Eagle Squad did not encounter any other enhanced infected, perhaps the huge energy just now allowed them to dodge from afar.
After all, these guys still retain a certain degree of rationality and know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.
It didn't take long for the team to reach the entrance to the fourth floor.
This is a large hole with a diameter of more than 30 meters, and it is pitch black with no bottom in sight.
"My men go down first, and after making sure that the landing area is safe, the mech is carrying out the lowering operation." Garugo tapped on the shell of the "Divine Thunder" and said.
"And I myself stay behind the upper hall, please!" He looked at Barrett and said, let him go down first.
Barrett didn't disagree, after all, he was the only one who could deal with those enhanced infections here, so it was the right thing for him to stay at the end.
"Your hand ......" Barrett remembered that he had just been injured, and although the injury was not serious, there was still a long way to go.
"Thank you, it's been simply disposed of." Laughing, Garugo shook his injured right hand.
Without saying anything, Barrett followed the people in front of him and jumped into the big hole.
As soon as he fell, he found that this big hole did not fall in a straight line, but fell more than ten meters, and it was a downward slope, and there was still water in it.
It took him half a minute before he managed to break out of the cave.
"A mecha can't get down to a cave of this size, right?" Barrett was a little puzzled, this size is about three meters at most, and the body of the "Divine Thunder" is much thicker than this.
"They'll come down from the elevator in front, but we need to go to the front and start the generator." The warrior, who had been protected by Barrett once, explained.
It seems that because of the actions just now, the people of the Dragon Eagle Squad have changed their views on Barrett a little.
"I see." Barrett also felt that the ruins should have undergone some transformation, after all, Juntian had occupied this place before.
Although I know that humans can't stay here for a long time, there is no big problem with installing the equipment.
After following the line for about ten minutes, Barrett saw the elevator for the descent.
The elevator is parked on the ground floor, so someone has to come down and start it to complete the delivery task.
"There's no way around it, there are far more beasts in the upper echelons than here, I'm sure you can see it." Perceiving Barrett's doubt, the warrior explained again: "The further down the beast goes, the more intelligent it becomes, and the less interested it becomes. ”
Pulling out his identification card to disarm the defensive grid, he pressed the start button of the generator.
Soon, the lights came on, and the fourth floor also showed its full picture.
The style and layout of the building are not much different from the above, but as the lights turn on, the aborigines here gradually become active.
"Build a defensive position!" With the order of the deputy captain, the five members of the Dragon Eagle Squad each looked for cover and got ready.
Soon, the beasts were gathering towards the generator, and the four automatic machine guns on the position were firing one after another.
Barrett was not idle, he knew that these beasts that looked like large leopards were far stronger than the ones above.
The machine gun in his hand spewed flames, and Barrett continued to fire at a point.
Gradually, though, he noticed that some of these beasts were armoured, and were clearly more powerful than others.
This phenomenon he had seen at the time of Padua.
"These guys are obviously different!" Barrett found that his bullets were of little use against the armored ones, and he could only rely on the abilities of the Dragon Eagle Team to attack and repel them.
"The type of combat will strengthen its defense or attack ability on its own, and this armor is like an exoskeleton or something."
Barrett carefully observed the creatures dodging the deadly fire, which was very different from the exoskeleton he remembered.
"Danger adaptation, these guys have survived." Karma gave a brief explanation of the changes in the appearance of the beasts.
Sure enough, it is the role of nano tools, the longer they live, the higher the transformation they receive, and the artificial tools on the outside are just the stereotyped role of nano tools.
Although the combat effectiveness of these beasts is much higher than that of the beasts of the first and second layers, it is difficult to advance in the face of a well-defended position.
Soon the weak beasts suffered heavy losses, and the stronger ones fled far away.
Gradually, the pressure around the lift is getting lower and lower.
At this moment, an alarm sounded, and the elevator slowly began to descend.
The gear mechanism made a clicking sound, and the mecha gradually revealed its full picture.
What surprised Barrett was not the mecha's descent, but the obvious signs of battle on the mech's outer armor.
Its main monitor has been damaged, and there are also marks of abrasion on the case.
"What happened?" Barrett didn't get any information from the communication channel, and Hanyu didn't make any urgent contacts.
"............" no one answered.
Secretly screaming in their hearts, although Barrett could sense the signs of life, they were indeed unconscious.
The people of the Dragon Eagle Squad also seemed to have blown up, and they were obviously more eager.
But they can't get out of their position because of their defensive position.
Barrett stepped forward and jumped on the lift's pedals.
Using the external liberation lever to liberate the shell, Barrett dragged Ace who fell out.
I saw that her eyes were closed, but the blood vessels on her neck exuded an ominous purple.
The probe glanced at Hanyu and saw that she was also unconscious with her eyes closed.
Flipping his eyelids with his fingers, he noticed that Hanyu was bleeding slightly from the bottom of his eyes.
Just when he didn't know what to do, Kama's voice came to his head: "Tool invasion, and it's a tool that is very inclined to get out of control. ”
Barrett paused for a moment, then asked in his mind, "Is there a way to solve it?" ”
He knew that this was the so-called infection, and it was true to save their lives first, and nothing else would be said later.
"It's not impossible, it's just ............" Karma didn't finish speaking, only to see a white streamer on Barrett's fingertips, and the skin of the two of them changed strangely.
I saw that the blood vessels in the place where they were touched suddenly bulged high, and then extended towards the heart.
"It's going to take a process, and there's going to be a certain amount of change." Karma reminded her that while she didn't see any problem with transforming humans as a tool, she didn't like to let people know about it.
Barrett reacted immediately, and he also felt that this kind of thing should not be seen by the people of the Dragon Eagle Squad.
Reaching out and placing Ace inside the mech, he closed the hatch of the mech.
"They're fine, they're just fainting." Barrett then changed the subject: "What about your captain?" So didn't see him? ”
Indeed, Garugo did not follow the elevator down.
The men of the Dragon Eagle Squad were all drooping heads, and they had received the last communication from the captain, ordering them to continue with the mission.
"It's the black plague, and the captain is afraid it's ............," the vice-captain said in a deep voice.
The Black Plague, the transformation runaway active on the third floor, is also the guy who was repelled to the sixth floor some time ago.
No one expected it to return to the third floor unnoticed, and attack the mecha that was waiting to descend.
Barrett also sensed something was not right, could it be that Man Corek had given him some message when he died? Otherwise, how could it have returned to the third floor at this time?
Maybe this guy is also a core? Apparently the black plague can control the nanotools from invading other people's bodies.
"The same kind?" Barrett asked, not using the word compatriot because he thought the Black Plague might also be a core.
Kama's arrogant reply soon came to mind: "It's just a means of transport, and it's out of control." ”
In her eyes, this waste does not deserve to be compared to her at all.
As a mere transport, A-level abilities are no match at all, and the heavy armor of the mecha has no effect at all.
"So what now?" Barrett walked over to the vice-captain and he asked.
Without Garugo, it would be difficult for the Dragon Eagle Squad to advance to the seventh floor, especially knowing that the Black Plague was in the dark.
"Keep going, that's our job." The vice-captain looked up into Barrett's eyes and said.
His expression was serious, and his eyes were very determined.
Nodding, Barrett actually felt a kind of encouragement, although he didn't like the Juntian Group, but he admitted that these fighters were worthy of respect.
Of course, this also includes the fierce and unlucky Galugo.
There was silence for a while, and the sound of the mecha switching mode came from behind him, regardless of whether the driver could fight or not, this new type of mecha could fight autonomously to a certain extent.
It's starting to move on.
The Dragon Eagle Squad cheered up and began to continue on their way.
Barrett also raised his weapon to keep up, and he also understood that it was safest to accelerate forward while the Black Plague was not on the sixth floor at this time.
After a while, the vicinity of the elevator calmed down again, and the beasts were not besieging the place, but quietly followed the enemies who had already left, and approached the entrance to the fifth floor.
Half an hour later, a burst of black mist appeared in the middle of the empty field, swirling and flying, and several beasts roaming nearby were swept into the black mist.
Whether it is an armored beast or an unarmored beast, being entangled in the black mist is a fate, and it disappears without even being stiff.
After destroying all the beasts, the black fog became thicker and thicker, and gradually gathered into a human form.
The shape of a woman, she stood on the ground, and the automatic machine gun not far away did not react at all.
If you look closely, you will see that the machine gun is shrouded in a faint black fog, and gradually, the machine gun is actually deformed.
The black mist in the shape of this woman, with a hole in the abdomen, is clearly in the shape of a fist.
There was a faint red light around the cave, so that the black mist could not gather together.
I saw the black mist stretch out his hand, and the illusory fingers suddenly stretched into black mist, and the silk rolled around in a circle.
One beast after another was entangled, and then pulled back into the black mist, like ice cubes on a stove, and disappeared in a few moments.
It wasn't until a dozen beasts had melted away that the hole in its lower abdomen gradually disappeared.
Perhaps finally satisfied, the black mist once again turned into a burst of nothingness and disappeared into the air.
