Chapter 40: Cutting Corners for Defense Towers
Ax looked at the metal gate in front of him, how he wished that there was the damn chemical factory behind it, but unfortunately, as several people followed the steps recorded on the scroll to open the metal door, what appeared in front of them was a wheel shaft, and the scroll stated that as long as the wheel axle was turned, the real door to the factory would be opened, but it was also the valve that opened the poison gas in the corridor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Aix's original team of six people was left with only four people, and according to the method on the scroll, if you want to pass through this corridor and reach the real gate, you still need the lives of two people to pave the way.
"I'm counted as one, in fact, I should have been one of the deaths before, but I still have some confidence in my endurance, so I chose to retreat, but this is definitely not that I am afraid of death, a veteran ruffian like me has long learned to laugh at life and death, you little boys are far away." Uncle Green didn't feel much sadness, neither the death of the two teenagers before him, nor his own imminent death, seemed to affect him.
"I'll do the second one, maybe, with my skills, I can die one less." Aix said with a sigh after Uncle Green finished speaking.
"Are you sure, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, and you are not an Ionian, so you don't need to force yourself." Carter said with some concern when he heard Aix's words.
"Five floors! To be honest, I don't even know why I came forward, maybe it was the two brothers who stimulated me! Otherwise, I'm quite a hero. Ax shook his head and smiled bitterly, even he didn't know why he said that.
"Whatever the outcome, you're all my friend." Gerald clapped his hand on Aix's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Don't make me feel like I'm going to die, if the rune circle of that door is not so strong, I still have a good chance of surviving, according to the tone of the two of you, it sounds like sending me to the execution ground." Aix patted Gerald's hand on his shoulder and said optimistically.
"Uncle, have you thought about it?" Aix turned abruptly to Uncle Green, for he would surely die if nothing happened.
"Ten years ago, when I was picked up from the dead by the captain from the battlefield, I thought about it." Uncle Green said with a smile, there was no trace of generosity to die, but the degree of heroism was a lot.
Ax took a deep breath and took one last look at Uncle Green, then grabbed the axle with both hands and turned it vigorously, and when it had been turned for three weeks, all the arrow holes in the steel wall suddenly closed, and then, the other half of the steel corridor appeared with countless holes, and a yellowish mist erupted from those holes.
The moment the hole in the steel corridor on this side closed, Carter, Gerald and Uncle Green began to rush forward like crazy, and when they ran to the edge of the poisonous mist, Carter and Gerald suddenly held each other's hands, and at this time, Uncle Green just rushed to the ground, and after stepping heavily on the ground, he jumped right above Carter and Gerald, and then borrowed the strength of the two of them together, and jumped directly into the yellow poisonous fog that had become very thick.
After sending Uncle Green out, Carter and Gerald did not separate, but continued to crouch down because there was one more person who needed the two of them to give them a ride. At the moment when the two of them squatted, Ax arrived just in time, and after stepping on the arms of the two, he also rushed into the poisonous mist.
The moment he rushed into the poisonous mist, Aix felt a tingling pain in his nose, tears in his eyes could not stop flowing, and even his skin was very dry. Soon, though, the force of his forward charge had diminished and he began to fall downward, but there were already people waiting for him where he fell, and looking at Uncle Green, who was standing below him in a significantly darker color, Ax knew that his life was coming to an end.
Ax stomped heavily on Uncle Green's shoulder, and then flew up again, and soon, a large door appeared in front of Aix's eyes, and a knob next to the gate attracted all of Aix's attention. After hitting the gate headlong, Ax didn't care whether his dizzy head was hit or poisoned, grabbed the knob and turned it quickly, and after hearing a soft "click", he immediately activated his skill "Shadow of the Void" and rushed towards the gate, while silently saying in his heart: "You must pass!" ”
After sending Ax out, Carter and Gerald immediately retreated, avoiding the poisonous fog and not entering the poisonous fog area in the slightest. The two watched Uncle Green and Aix enter the poisonous fog backwards, and there was no movement in a blink of an eye, but the poisonous fog did not continue to thicken, but began to dissipate, letting the two know that Ax must have turned off the switch, so the two fell into a long wait, in fact, it was not long, but the two just felt that life was like a year.
"How are you, Ax?" Carter shouted into the already thinned poisonous mist, but alas, no voice answered him.
"Don't shout, you'll find out right away." Gerald persuaded.
Looking at the poisonous mist that gradually became clear, a vague shadow appeared in the two of them seriously, the person was half-kneeling there, every movement, according to the clothes, should be Uncle Green. When the two saw the poisonous fog dissipate, they immediately ran over, but when they got closer, they found that Uncle Green was no longer breathing.
At this time, the remaining poisonous fog had almost dissipated, and the scene at the end of the corridor was gradually clear, and both of them were praying, praying that there was no figure of Ax there, because if Ax appeared in their eyes, it meant that the figure was already a corpse.
"Haha, I knew that slippery head would never die so easily." When it was confirmed that it was empty, Carter cried tears of joy.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Soon, the two came to the end of the corridor, the first thing that caught their eyes was a large door on the right wall, I don't know when it appeared, the two worked together, and finally pushed the door slowly open, and what came into view was a cave without any artificial carving, the rock walls on both sides were very wet, and there were water droplets dripping from time to time.
"Aix?" Carter shouted into the depths of the cavern.
"What for?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind the two of them, startling the two of them. When the two looked back, they found that Ax was sitting against the wall next to the entrance, and the light was too dim for the two to notice.
"Haha, I knew you couldn't die." Carter patted Ax on the shoulder and said excitedly, but Ax coughed after a few palms, which frightened Carter and hurriedly withdrew his hand and showed an embarrassed smile.
"Are you alright?" Gerald asked, crouching down and looking at Aix's pale face.
"It's okay, it's just that I inhaled a small amount of poison gas, and it's much better to rest for a while." After Ax finished speaking, he slowly stood up against the wall.
"Let's go, see where this road leads." Feeling a little better, Ax didn't waste any more time and walked inside with Carter.
Since entering this cave, there is no longer the modern feeling of a steel building, all that catches your eye is some rocky soil, which is obviously not as carefully decorated as above, and the three of them even keep stepping on puddles along the way.
Finally, after walking for nearly five minutes, a bright light appeared in front of them again, which shocked the spirits of the three of them, and they knew that the exit was right in front of them.
When the three of them arrived at the exit, the first thing they saw was a boiler-like thing dozens of meters high. However, the two warring sides below let Ax know that this is the chemical factory they have worked so hard to find.
There were two sides in the fighting, one side was undoubtedly the guards here, with a small number of people and defending with all their might, while the other side was more mixed, some dressed in black, some in sergeant uniforms, and a few in monk's robes. From the point of view of the three Aix, the two sides are fighting inextricably, and the two sides are evenly matched, and neither side has the absolute upper hand.
"Hurry up, let's help?" Gerald saw that his brother was fighting hard, and immediately wanted to join the battle, but before he could take a step, he was pulled back by Aix.
"With so many people, even if you go down, what use can you be, can you turn the tide of the battle with your strength?" Aix grabbed Gerald's neck and said angrily.
"Then what are we doing, we can't just watch them fight here."
"Nonsense, what are they desperately trying for, not to destroy this chemical plant so that these poisonous gases cannot be produced on a large scale? Therefore, we should take advantage of our advantages now, not easily expose our position, and go down to investigate the situation first. ”
"Carter, how's it going?" After Ax explained to Gerald, he asked Carter, because he had already begun to observe the structure and personnel of the place since he entered the place.
"There are two power towers, and in order to destroy the Nexus Crystal, you must first defeat those two power towers. The leader of the other side was standing on the edge of the battlefield at this time, as if he was confronting a monk, and it seemed that we could avoid the pressure of facing him directly. Carter said as he pointed to the situation on the battlefield.
Following Carter's guidance, Ax easily spotted two energy towers that were constantly emitting light bullets. Each projectile deals a certain amount of area damage, which seems to be quite powerful, however, the frequency of attacks is very low, and each projectile emits a charge of about a minute.
"It's also called an energy defense tower?" Ax said disdainfully, compared to the towers in the game, this is simply a version of cutting corners. However, as in the game, it is a bit annoying that you can't damage the energy crystal without pushing the two towers down.
