Chapter 64: Chiyou

Adam's entrails were also pale. And its blood was like deep ink, drawing an arc in mid-air, and splashed on Li Zhen with those organs. His eyes widened blankly, and through the cracks in his flesh, he saw that large swaths of scale armor had exploded through the flesh and blood.

Hu Yanling and Du Qixi...... I have seized the opportunity. He thought.

This kind of injury seems to be difficult for even Adam to support. Its body staggered forward due to the involvement and pull of its organs, and the psionic realm around it almost completely dissipated. The electromagnetic sniper rifle fired from the white rice away and immediately destroyed the joint of its left leg, and the scales and muscles were peeled away layer by layer in a loud roar, and the tiny eyeballs under it were reduced to flesh and blood, and even the bronze thick bones were almost broken.

However......

The gunfire stopped.

Ammunition runs out. The barely moving survivor tried to attack it with the normal firearms around him, but Adam had already dragged a stump forward and shoved the internal organs of Li Zhen's body back into his chest and abdomen. Its body had been knocked sideways by bullets, one eye had turned into a bloody hollow, and the scale armor on its side was almost shattered, making it look miserable.

But it seems that it is only ...... Looks.

The next moment, it raised its left hand. And so the desperate scene happened again. The warhead hung in the air and stood still, and then flew out in the next second, and all the weapons in people's hands exploded into a cloud of debris, and many of the executive officers who were already dying finally died completely. Hu Yanling and Du Qixi beside him may be considered lucky - because when the firearm was blown up by the flying warhead, there was no ammunition in it. So a stent pierced the chests of two people. Shot at the wall again - the former couple both fell to the ground, and in this way temporarily reconciled.

Ying resolutely looked at the scene in front of him, and then looked at Li Zhen, who was lifted by Adam, and pressed the communicator on his neck with a slightly trembling hand. The operation was a complete failure, and Adam was beyond imagination. In just one month, it has undergone a qualitative transformation...... It's not something that any conventional weapon can kill right now.

It is inaccessible to ordinary humans...... Because it seems that something aberrations will occur from a distance of several hundred meters. Having lost the shackles of the Stance Generator - it has now destroyed all three of its own - its capabilities have been fully utilized.

That's why it waited quietly in the tomb for its own people.

Because...... It doesn't care.

It's like, it's looking forward to these people.

You should definitely want to call the command center. The only way he could think of a solution to the crisis was nuclear weapons. The Empire's mega-burrowing nukes can easily slice through mountains, even if they cause irreparable damage to the surrounding environment...... It's better than letting it out of this cave.

Once that happens, the thousands of people on the perimeter defense will probably mutate, and a few thousand mutants. Coupled with Adam's great power......

He just felt creepy.

But the next moment. His heart sank. The noisy noise in the communication system is that even the characters on the eyepiece disappear and become an ordinary high-strength engineering plastic crystal.

In other words, it is no longer possible to get in touch with the command! When is this happening? He pressed the communicator around his neck again and again, almost paranoidly. However, there was still no response from the earbuds. Hu Yanling on one side propped up her upper body. Shake your head at him. Foaming blood spat out of his mouth: "It's useless...... I've tried......"

Ying was stunned for a moment, and then lay flat on the ground. He seemed to be in good condition, except for a terrible wound on his thigh. However, the wound was caused by a mixture of lead and copper melt - he could feel it in his own blood. It has been flooded with too many heavy metals. The action just now had exhausted his energy, so he could only turn his face slightly and look at Li Zhen.

I will die with him.

Is it going to end here? I imagined such a situation when I embarked on this path...... I didn't expect it to come so soon. I wanted to make a career......

What will be the reaction of his father and Dai Bingcheng?

Maybe I'm dying...... I'm going to help again.

Hehe.

So he stared at Li Zhen's upside-down face, and found that the other party was grinning. It's like smiling.

It's just that it's no longer the high-spirited smile just now, but a smile shrouded in despair, helplessness and relief.

Do your best. These people did their best.

At least, die as you deserve.

So he smiled.

Adam was walking slowly. It still had terrible wounds on its torso, but it was now wrapped in cyan muscles, and no longer oozing blood. It was carrying two things in its hands - its left hand was Li Zhen's upper body, and its right hand was Li Zhen's lower body. The blood dragged long trails on the ground, stretching all the way to the slightly sloping stone wall with a towering staircase.

And Li Zhen felt that it was now in antiquated and excited mood...... It seems that something is waiting for you.

It was somehow, pilgrimage-like mood.

He must have died long ago—relying only on his own strength, without the replenishment of a large amount of organic matter, and he was torn apart by life...... Should have died a long time ago.

Once again, however, Adam "saved" him.

It maintained a slight resonance with Li Zhen, and that resonance spurred the most reluctant vitality in Li Zhen's body, maintaining his waking consciousness in the way of overdrawing his life. Even though the heart has stopped beating and there is not much blood left, the cells in the body seem to have become tiny and tenacious systems. They struggled to absorb the nutrients in the air, breaking down their limbs at the expense of keeping him awake at the last of his life.

It's just that...... What is it going to do?

I could have blown my heart apart just now.

Adam struggled to make his way up the first step. Then, flaming torches suddenly lit up on both sides of the passage - it seemed that they had been waiting in this cavern for thousands of years, and now someone had finally lit them. With this first slight pop, a series of lights appeared on both sides of the passage, and in the blink of an eye, the long staircase was illuminated.

Adam lit the torches with his own spiritual powers. And it seems that it is also because of the use of abilities. It paused slightly as it stepped up the second step. So Li Zhen understood that if he could make a sacrifice blow like he had just done...... Perhaps this formidable enemy will fall in front of him.

It's a "child" after all......

Its psionic energy didn't seem to be able to withstand such a high-intensity confrontation, and it had underestimated the strength of humans after all. It's just that...... The facts can no longer be assumed.

Adam slowly lifted his upper body in front of him, as if he was gathering strength, and as if he was stating the facts as a victor. Its remaining eye moved, as if trying to recall human language, and then made a muffled sound.

"You, you could have been with us, eternal life."

Li Zhen understood this sentence. And he has always had a question. Before checkmateing, he wanted to figure it out.

So he opened his mouth with difficulty: "You...... Actually, to bring me here? ”

Adam stared at him for a moment. Another step up. Then he said, "You." It should be ours, people. ”

It's kind of a tacit acquiescence. Li Zhen hissed again: "...... No, I'm human. ”

Adam grinned, laughing like a rag for the first time. It was as if metal was scraping against the rough slate: "Man...... You. I don't want to be a clansman. Then you ......" it steps up two more steps, looking up higher, "and die." ”

"What the hell are you?!" Li Zhen weakly reached out and grabbed its arm. However, even clutching its bone spurs has become a luxury. Perhaps Adam did not speak again, perhaps because he was not accustomed to human language, or perhaps he was indeed a "child" and did not fully master this communication skill.

It simply walked up the stairs one step at a time, and finally stood on a platform hidden deep in the stone wall.

So Li Zhen saw that thing.

That...... It's also a skeleton.

However, it is far greater than Adam at the beginning. It is pieced together, and its limbs are connected by branches and grass stems.

It sat silently on a stone pedestal, its black hole looking down at the two men in front of it. But even sitting there...... It is also on the same height as Adam.

Bronze-colored bones.

In the jumping firelight, the skeleton reflected the cold sheen of metal. It also had great horns on its head, but not Adam's curled horns. The horn was half a meter long, and it stabbed diagonally forward, like two huge daggers.

It has fangs—fangs like blades. They grow in the mouths of the skull, and after thousands of years, they still shine with cold light and are terrifying. The same bone spurs as Adam are found all over the body, but they are more powerful and solid. It was as if the vast divine weapons forged by the steel meteoric iron had all been welded to the skeleton's body, and as long as they walked through the crowd once, the enemy in front of them would be the end of flesh and blood, and the soul would be scattered.

But now its limbs were shriveled, and only the thick bones stood upright, exuding a terrifying momentum.

So Li Zhen was stunned without a word because of this momentum.

That's what it is......

What's the difference?

He had imagined the appearance of the ancient god of war, Chi You, several times. But he didn't expect such a skeleton to appear in front of him. Even after thousands of years of death and being buried, it still silently shook its own mind in the deep shadows—such an existence, at the height of its heyday...... How was it defeated?!

He suddenly figured out one thing—Adam's purpose.

Then chagrin and remorse came to his heart, and he was about to suffocate with despair!

It was indeed a child, but ...... It is not as ignorant and violent as humans think—it is a highly intelligent being, and of course it knows what it is doing!

They had dismissed Adam's cruelty in collecting bones as unincorruptible and unruly. But now it seems that it was intentional!

It has left its whereabouts across a vast land, luring these people to its chosen place of decisive battle, and alienating the common people above the crypt, restricting access only to those who are able. If he was right, Adam had no intention of killing himself in the first place.

In fact, it wants to use its own flesh and blood to restore Chiyou to consciousness like it did at the beginning, and then supplement it with those who have the ability!

And these arrogant and ignorant human beings themselves...... really follow the game it laid out, step by step into this dead place!

Young Adam was already so strong, but what about Chiyou? If it wakes up completely...... What else could stop it from turning this land into a paradise of kinds?

Nuclear bombs, nuclear bombs!!

Li Zhen roared in his heart, destroy them! Destroy them quickly!! (To be continued.) )
