Chapter 174: Restart
"Good luck!"
Although the company does not give a rating standard for each official task, the sooner you complete the task, the higher the score you will get, and the better the chance of receiving a quality reward.
Mawson really didn't expect that he would accidentally meet Omega in hiding.
"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!" Happy, Mawson couldn't help but say a word in Chinese.
As the brain of an alien creature, this kind of thing has no attack power in itself, but it is indeed cunning, hiding in such a remote steel factory, and there is not much mimicry around for defense, and anyone who commands the battle will not notice here.
"Quack!"
In the darkness, several more mimics jumped out and were casually chopped to death by Mawson, and these alien creatures also seemed to have discovered Mawson's difficulty, so they no longer attacked together.
Instead, a few jumped out to surround Mawson, and the rest opened their big red mouths, and then a series of fires flashed, and the cannonball-like energy "shot" out, and even shrouded those few of the same kind within the attack range!
Mawson's pupils shrank and rolled backwards, dodging as he spread the five fingers of his left hand, forming an electromagnetic barrier.
"Crackling!"
The shattered earth and stone metal slammed into the barrier in front of Mawson, and countless flames burst into the sky.
Although the electromagnetic barrier formed by Mawson can block some physical impacts, there is nothing to do about the scorching flames, and the waves of fire drown Mosen's whole person, and even if he tries to dodge, his clothes are still scorched.
The heat that was enough to melt an ordinary person only made Mawson's skin reddened slightly, and the burning temperature was only enough to reach the limit of Mawson's flame defense.
At this moment, a monster swooped out of the darkness against the heat wave of flames, and before he had time to think about it, Mawson slashed it with a knife with his hand, and the monster let out a scream and was slashed out by Mawson!
And at this time, through the light of the flames, Mawson also saw the whole picture of this monster clearly.
The body is larger than the normal mimic, and the whole body is blue.
Mawson was shocked, "This is an alpha!" ”
"Shhh
There was a burning pain in his right hand holding the knife, and he gasped, and when he looked down, he found that the entire right arm was stained with a lot of blood from Alpha's body, but the front half was protected by an alloy fist, and it did not touch the skin.
But a large piece of the shoulder upwards was burned with a deep scar that could be seen in the bones!
And the injury continues to spread!
"What's the matter, this thing's blood 'liquid' actually has such a powerful corrosive 'nature'?"
Before Mawson could deal with his injuries, the alpha lying on the ground convulsed and died.
"Made!"
Before he could curse, the space in front of him shattered layer by layer, and the surrounding scenery became distorted, as if he had been pressed into a rewind, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself lying on the ground.
A voice came from afar: "How are you, Mawson?" Stand up, we need to get out of here! ”
Mawson looked up, and the soldier he had seen before was standing in the distance waving to him, and there was a hint of relief on his face when he saw Mawson.
"Thank goodness you're not dead!"
"Come with me, we have to go to support the battlefield ahead!"
Mawson was stunned, this scene he had experienced not long ago.
"Time has been reset?"
At this moment, the soldier who had just spoken to Mawson walked forward quickly, and as had happened before, a monster sprang out of the ruins not far away, and it opened its mouth and spat out a cannonball, blowing the soldier to pieces.
Then the monster sped forward, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared beside Mawson.
"Blade of the Fallen!"
Mawson drew his knife and was about to slash it, but suddenly felt a burning pain in his shoulder, and when he looked down, he saw a large hole in the shoulder of his right arm that had been corroded.
"What's going on?!"
Frightened, he dodged the monster's attack sideways, and the long knife in his left hand swung to smash the approaching monster.
Several alien creatures screaming in the distance approached, and this time Mawson did not entangle them, but quickly hid in a nearby building and hid his whereabouts.
"Whoa!"
Mawson took off his mechanical armor, tore off his right arm, and examined his injuries.
He remembered very well that the wound here was still corroded by the blood of the alpha mimicry.
But obviously the time has been reset, why are the injuries on his body still there?
"That's not right!"
It suddenly occurred to Mawson that although he was infected by Alpha's blood, he didn't seem to have the ability to restart time.
Although his injuries are severe, he is still far from death, which means that time is reset by the dead alpha.
"Could it be that because the degree of blood 'fluid' infection is relatively small, I didn't get the ability to restart time, but I just kept my memories after restarting time?" Mawson secretly guessed.
"No, it's not right!"
He shook his head again, there was no way to explain his injuries.
The injury on his shoulder was still spreading, and in desperation, Mawson could only take out the super repair "liquid" from his private space and "shoot" into it.
The super repair "liquid" that can instantly recover injuries fought against the corrosive "sexual" blood "liquid" of the alpha for ten minutes before all the injuries were repaired, and at this time, Mo Sen faintly felt that there seemed to be something more in his body.
He put on mechanical armor, weapon in hand, and sped towards the steel mill in his memory.
Along the way, he didn't get entangled with the alien creatures he encountered, so he just ran wildly, and it took him less than an hour to come to the abandoned steel factory.
As expected, the entire steel mill was deserted, and Mawson investigated the remaining traces and found that Omega's retreat was at least a long time ago.
It's not surprising that the time for the Omega reset may have been more than a dozen or even twenty hours ago, but at that time, Mawson had not yet arrived, and time naturally flowed normally.
It was only after his arrival that it began to become a little different.
Instead of pursuing the other mimics, Mawson took off his armor and thought silently in the steel mill.
Being able to retain memories after resetting time is supposed to come from the ability of the alpha blood "fluid", but why is the damage taken also retained?
Mo Sen secretly said that he was lucky, fortunately he did not take the initiative to absorb the blood of Alpha because he wanted to obtain the ability to reset time.
Otherwise, it is very likely that time has been reset, and he died from his injuries.
"Is it because I'm not from this world that the rules of this world don't fully apply to me?" Mawson guessed.
The more he thought about it, the closer he felt that this reason was to reality, for the whole world, Mawson was a strange variable, he seemed to belong here, but he was not......
This state of immediacy and detachment has caused the distortion of the rules of the world.
After some comparison, another idea popped up for Mawson.
