Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Dreadclaw Cat
In the midst of the ice and snow, a group of people are besieging a huge desolate beast, and there are men and women in that group, all of whom are second-level mechanical envoys, and they can be known from the streamers on the consciousness mechanical bodies on their bodies that they are all second-level mechanical envoys who have evolved at least once.
That desolate beast can still be easily attacked by five or six second-level mechanical envoys, which shows that its strength is not weak.
"Why are we so unlucky, we just met the most difficult to mess with the dreaded clawed cat, I said don't go so far, you just don't believe it!"
"Isn't this just to accompany the girl Xin out to relax, who knows that this kind of thing will be encountered."
"Okay, what's there to be noisy about, are so many of us still afraid of a small mid-level dreadclaw cat? Isn't it just a little cunning, I don't believe that a few of us can't kill it! ”
The few people who besieged the dreadclaw cat were young people who came out of the small village in the mutated woods, and a few days had passed since Xin Yatou returned to the village, and everyone saw that Xin Yatou had been immersed in self-blame in those days, so Uncle Yang asked them to take Xin Yatou out, at first she was unwilling, and then she didn't know what Uncle Yang said to her, she changed her previous reluctance and set off directly with them.
In fact, this is not just to take Xin Yatou out to relax, they still have their own purpose, after that night's discussion, the people of the whole village began to increase their strength, and the fastest way is to make the consciousness machine evolve, their method is not to evolve by training like the people in the shelter, but to find another way - devouring the wild beast, naturally not for them to devour, but for the consciousness of the machine in their body to devour, this is also the method they have explored under the ground survival of the nuclear winter.
In fact, when the consciousness machine is devouring the beast, it is also helpful to the host, the consciousness machine is just fusing the genes in the beast's body, and the energy attached to the beast is almost stored by the consciousness machine, and then released to their host step by step, enhancing the host's physique little by little.
This method is completely different from the method of the Vault, which is why they do not survive in the Vault, if they do, they are already lying on a dimly lit laboratory bench somewhere.
At the beginning, the mechanical envoy of the shelter almost used this method to promote the evolution of the consciousness machine, but there is a huge drawback in using this method to evolve the consciousness machine, the consciousness machine can fuse genes, yes, but the energy of the feedback of the consciousness machine is full of various negative effects, and too much acceptance of that energy of the machine makes it easy to lose itself in those forces.
The former Vault was attacked by the Lost Mechanic, although it was suppressed later, but the impact they caused is still there, and this method of devouring the Wild Beast is also forbidden by the Vault, ordinary people may not feel anything about it, they only care about whether they can live with peace of mind, but it was a devastating blow to the original Mechanic, after all, they had all devoured the Wild Beast at that time, and in order to prevent future troubles, the Vault destroyed them.
At that time, there were still mechanical envoys who didn't want to believe that the Vault would kill them, so they directly questioned the Vault higher-ups in person, but unfortunately the answer was a corpse, and some people even accidentally saw the research room hiding in the shadows studying those corpses, which can be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, and all the mechanical envoys in the Vault frantically retaliated against the Vault, and of course there were those who escaped from the Vault.
The people of the small village are the descendants who escaped from the shelter back then, as for why they can become mechanical envoys without injecting the consciousness machine, this is also the method they got by chance, that is, to separate the consciousness mechanism in their own body and transfer it to the body of the next generation, so that the next generation inherits the consciousness mechanism of the previous generation, but the price of using this method is very serious, not to mention that the strength of the person who separates the consciousness mechanism is half regressed, and their physical activity will also decline, It takes a long time to adjust your body afterwards, and generally speaking, the gains outweigh the losses.
The price is well worth it and relative, at least in the eyes of the people of the small village, after all, they have the next generation, and that is their hope for continuity!
Let's not mention that for now, let's go back to those few mechanical envoys.
After all, they were injured due to their inexperience, and they were careless in the face of the cunning dreadclawed cat.
After they worked together to knock the dreadclaw to the ground, they attacked the fallen dreadclaw several times in succession, but the fallen dreadclaw did not react in the slightest, and they thought it had been killed.
Letting their guard down, they were trying to enjoy the fruits of their victory, standing next to the dreadclaw, trying to use the consciousness machine to simulate a mouthparts to devour the dreadclaw.
What they never expected happened, the dreadclaw cat suddenly attacked them, and even one of them couldn't dodge, and one of his arms was directly torn off by the dreadclaw's sharp claws, if it wasn't for his consciousness mechanism to seal his wounds, he would most likely die of blood loss.
"Monkey, are you alright?"
"I can't die yet!"
In fact, that person is not really called a monkey, but his surname is Hou, and they are friends with each other, and they will always give each other a nickname, and he will be called a monkey by everyone when he screams.
"I can actually pretend to be dead, it seems that this dreaded claw cat is not simple, but if you dare to hurt my brother, you have to stay whatever you say today!"
After seeing that the monkey was okay, he instantly attacked the dreadclaw, and he wanted to avenge his brother's broken arm.
Naturally, it is impossible for the dreadclaw cat to stand still and attack them again, the first time it just wanted to deceive them and make it easier for it to kill them, and now that the plan has failed, it will naturally not be stupid to fight back again.
Its claws shoot straight out.
Five or six meters tall, how could its claws be small.
The claws slapped at the humans who rushed at it as if covering the heavens and the earth.
"Bearboy, we're here to help you!"
After the rest of the mechanics stabilized their bodies, they saw the bear cub rushing up, how could they stand still and just watch.
The simulated mouthparts disappeared in an instant, turning back to their original shape, and their bodies had rushed out, and their target was the dreadclawed cat.
As a cunning feline, how could the beast take their attack, I saw that it gave up the attack and quickly dodged the attack of several people, and at the same time its tail swept fiercely towards the monkey who had lost an arm.
The monkey who lost an arm obviously didn't expect that he would become the target of the dreadclaw, so he didn't make any defensive moves, not to mention that he also lost an arm, even if he did a defense, he probably wouldn't be able to resist the tail of the dreadclaw.
