Verse 368: Old Days (4)
"Seventeen, we're in trouble."
Marin led people up to the third floor, and when he passed by Seventeen, he said in a very normal tone - since Seventeen has the ability to make standard logical judgments, he should know what they are facing.
And Marin's judgment was also correct, and the armor nodded very humanely: "To confirm the existence of the failed test subject, based on the Basic Rights Protection Decree, I will open the upper passage on the first floor, please pass through the corridor, and I will block the failed test subject for you." โ
"Failed test subject?" Marin asked Dante to lead the group first, then stood beside Seventeen and asked, "Why are they called Failed Subjects?" โ
"The first embryos of the failed test subjects originated from the Wageningen military base, and you can find their contents in the computer files on the upper floor, and I am responsible for guarding these secrets...... Please get out of here, citizen, the failed test subject has come up. โ
"Goodbye, Seventeen." Marin looked at the living corpses that had appeared at the corner of the stairs, and fired two short shots as he retreated, the bullets hitting the legs and waist of the living corpses, and they fell and stopped the pursuers from pursuing them.
Marlin quickened his pace, and at the same time saw more and more slender hands coming out of the outside of the guardrail.
As he ran, Marlin pulled out another incendiary bomb, pulled out the safety pin, and threw it behind him.
A glowing distorted living corpse poked its head out of the guardrail, its mouth open at Marin, revealing its twisted fangs.
Then Fio's bloody roar slit its neck, and the deformed corpse let go of its hand to cover its wounds, so it fell downstairs bound by gravity.
"Quick! Marin! Dante stood at the front of the steps, shouting as he shot.
Marin emptied his rifle magazine, tossed the gun to Lorraine, pulled his pistol from his waist, this time not loading a silencer on it, and raised his gun to fire at the glowing living corpse with its head exposed, the first bullet ricocheting at its smooth head.
The first bullet entered its jaw as it tilted its head back as it did, and this time, the living corpse that had not been able to stop the bullet lost its life, letting go of its grip on the guardrail and falling towards the bottom.
The incendiary bombs behind him began to work, engulfing the living layers that had climbed over the guardrail into the flames.
A living corpse flipped in from the guardrail in front of Marin, and it turned and pounced on Marin, who was short, and with a sliding shovel motion, gave way to his lunge, and with a wave of his left hand, opened the arm of the corpse that was grabbing him.
When the slide began to slow down, Merlot took a step behind Marlin, and Marlin, who was running with the momentum, pointed to the guardrail with his right hand, and shot the bullet of the pistol in his empty hand in one breath, and with a flick, the empty magazine was thrown to the ground, and at the same time, the full magazine in his hand was loaded.
Merlot rolled up the empty magazine, jumped onto the wall on the left, and then, with a little bit, flew over Marin's head, sending the living corpse over the guardrail back the way it came, and then it and Fio's twigs rolled up and landed safely.
Marlin ran up the steps, and the twigs of the World Tree followed suit.
The steps Marlin walked on began to retract into the wall.
The roar behind him caused Marlin to quicken his pace, and when he was three steps away from the top entrance, Marlin saw the horror on everyone's faces.
So he jumped up and turned around, and at this moment Lorraine threw the loaded rifle to Marin.
At the same time, Marin threw the pistol to Lorraine, who caught it and fired at the living corpse with smooth skin, the round-headed pistol bullet failed to penetrate its skin, but managed to stop its pursuit, and Marin's rifle went off.
The fast and slow machine was flicked, and the bullet hit the living corpse's chest continuously, and the rifle bullet tore through the skin and flesh of its target with a kinetic energy far exceeding that of the pistol, and Marin, who landed on the ground, emptied the magazine in one go, and the last bullet drilled into the forehead of the living corpse, and it lost its strength and fell to the floor below.
The doors of the elevator hall begin to close.
"I can't learn this move." The gold ingot walked over, and he stretched out his hand to hammer Marin: "Your Excellency, you are really powerful, even more powerful than everyone legends." โ
Marin smiled, then shook hands with everyone who came over to shake his hand, and then looked at Dante: "Just survive, can we get outside now?" โ
"No, the place we're here feels like a place to live, but everything... Anyway, the things downstairs were like nothing we had ever seen before, and it was very luxurious. The one shook his head.
So Marin handed the rifle to Lorraine, waited for the elevator to stop, and was the first to get out, then glanced around.
โฆโฆ He knows everything here, whether it's the sofa, the TV, or the bed...... But what the hell is this egg-like bed? What's going on with this round TV, and why is this sofa ......just floating like this?
It turns out that I am also a primitive.
Marin was thinking this, and a voice rang out: "Good afternoon, guests, Isabella is online, welcome to the special floor of the Le Grande Bellevue Hotel, there is still an hour before the sun sets, and now it is a good day to enjoy the sunset, do you need me to open the window for you." โ
"Isabella, open."
Marin said.
Dante leaned over: "Isabella, I heard the name of the person you said, do you know this mysterious woman, how can you understand her words." โ
"This has something to do with the transcendent sequence, and the knowledge of the old days is very dangerous." Marin smiled.
Dante nodded, and chose to back offโas the commander of the Church of Justice in charge of the operation, he understood the dangers of some knowledge.
At this moment, the entire wall creaked, and Marin turned his head to see that the entire shell in front of him was opening, and after eight thousand years, the inn was once again in operation.
Then the tall tower in the distance came into Marin's sight, looking at the living corpses under the tower, Marin cursed, and just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw that the light at the top of the tower was shining regularly.
The lamp was facing away from the sun, and he must have noticed the change here, and his girls were contacting him!
Thinking of this, Marin turned and pushed the floor-to-ceiling pushable mirror to the window, and began to respond to the girls' code.
"You're in contact?"
"Yes, use regular flashes of light to talk, you should use it too, right?"
"Well, that's true, look, they've flares."
Marin saw the flare go up, and also saw the three griffins fly over to pick them up, the girls were obedient is the most happy thing for Marin, thinking of this, Marin raised his head: "Isabella, should I call you Madame, or Miss." โ
"Miss, guest, is there anything you need me to do for you?"
Very well, Miss Isabella has a strong logical ability, but it is only passive, and compared to Seventeen, this is only a low-end artificial intelligence.
"Can I go up to the rooftop?" Marin asked.
"Of course, the rooftop passage is opening, please enter the lobby and the elevator will take you and your friends to the rooftop."
Marin nodded and told Dante that there was a way up to the rooftop, and the group immediately began to pack their belongings - yes, nice, soft pillows that looked like they worked, blankets that looked soft and workable could be taken away, and pajamas that looked soft and workable could be taken away.
When Marin found the small panel computer, he looked at the Dell logo on it and was stunned - I hope there is a built-in Chinese.
Removing the data cable along with the spare battery, Marin followed the moving crowd to the hall, where there were already members on the elevator, Marin looked around and saw that the guys had taken everything they could take.
Marlin was the last to get up the elevator, and before going up the elevator, Marlin asked a question: "Miss Isabella." โ
"Yes, guest, do you have any questions?"
"These things, how do you keep them from breaking?"
"Because they are all recyclable and reusable things, just like the small computer in your hand, Mr. Guest, it has been reproduced 31 times, and it would not have been possible without the replication factory on the fourth basement floor."
Copy the factory, damn it, get rich friends!
Marin stuck out his tongue and then smiled goodbye to Miss Isabella: "We're leaving." โ
"Ah, guest, I still have a scroll of messages from the owner of the original room, his body has been cleaned, and I didn't think that the new guest that the original owner said would come so late, so...... Do you want to listen. Miss Isabella asked.
Marin did not refuse: "Why, let's play." โ
Then, a man's voice rang out.
In the past month, a lot of things have happened, and I used to think that being a soldier was a troublesome thing, but I didn't expect that it was because I was a soldier that I lived to this day.
Then the man coughed.
After coughing for a while, he continued to speak.
I thought that humanity had rushed out of the sky, had bases on the moon and Mars, and that we would no longer be as described in the old times and games, ushering in the end of destruction, that our Earth Union would work together to get rid of the shackles of gravity, that tens of billions of souls would leave their home planet, and that Earth would unite and eventually become a pivotal force in this universe...... I was wrong.
The cyborg that was originally used to prepare to transform Proxima Habitable got out of control, and the evil called Chaos broke through space and manipulated these failed test subjects, and the former helper became our enemy, we died, we fought, we blew up the orbital elevator, we blew up the dam, we ...... Even blew up the tower.
I like the Eiffel Tower the most, when I was a child, my father always took me to see it, even if it was in disrepair, but it was a pity to blow it up in order to destroy the cyborg hatching area on the south bank of the Seine.
However, considering the rail elevators that have been blown up by everyone in East Asia, we in Europe should not be too petty......
It's a pity that we did everything we could, but we still failed, and there were fewer and fewer people alive, at least in the area of the Italian and Swiss lines, I haven't received any communication for a week, and the long-wave communications between East Asia and North America have not been intercepted, and I don't know if the people are dead or the long-wave communication tower has been destroyed...... Anyway, human civilization seems to have come to the brink of destruction, and I, too, am dying......
The man coughed again, and after a longer gasp, he began to speak again.
This is the Le Grand Bellevue Hotel, is a new Swiss special service store, if it was two months ago, I am afraid that a year's salary can not live here for a night, you must know that the top floor of the special reception of VIPs can overlook the entire area of the highest special suite, I heard that you can arrange your own furniture according to the preferences of guests...... That's it.
It's just like home...... I don't know if the orcs in my family will survive, but that's the latest orc I bought with two years of salary...... I'm still bored, it's been two months, and the little thing must be starving......
Mom is right, I'm not suitable for pets, even if this pet looks the same as a human, but it hasn't learned to open its own cans......
My battle partner Seventeen helped me guard the ...... I hope that its warranty period will not be too long, otherwise a warframe will face loneliness and pitiful ......
By the way, latecomers, I asked my housekeeper, Miss Isabella, to turn all latecomers into guest mode...... But I don't think there will be anyone anymore...... Good night, Earth......
The man's breath grew sharper.
Here is Europa XVII Army, 6th Panzer Assault Corps, 3rd Company Sergeant, Karn Kedel.
Earth United ...... Invincible......
When the recording was finished, Karn's words silenced Marin, and Miss Isabella began her own supplement: "Mr. Karn Kedel's body was removed and put into the recycling factory during the first annual arrangement, and the voice is played, and your friends, guests, have been waiting for a long time. โ
โโฆโฆ Too, Miss Isabella, goodbye. Marin finished speaking and stood on the lift.
"I barely understood what the man was saying, and I could guess only a few words." The gold ingot looked at Marlin with some confusion.
"It's an indomitable soul saying goodbye to us." Marin replied.
The lift board led him and the gold ingot up the road to the top of the inn.
There was a group of griffons at the top, and Marin saw the girls of his house.
"I heard it was a very smooth operation?" Matilda asked with a smile.
"Yes...... What's wrong with your hand. Marlin looked at the wound on her arm.
"I was caught, it's nothing, I just drank the potion." Matilda said with a smile.
Marin was stunned for a moment.
Orcs, cyborgs, viruses?
Marin walked up to Matilda, picked up her injured hand, ripped off the bandage, and saw the inflamed wound.
After a moment of silence, Marin reached out and patted Matilda's head before connecting to Dante's arcane intercom.
"Dante, this is Marin, we're in big trouble."
