Chapter XXVII
"I don't care if you want to go out and die," Twenty-Eight said in a very firm tone, "but I will never be buried with you!" He roared in the second half of the sentence.
"It's more dangerous on the inside than on the outside." Wang Kunzhi's tone seemed to be pleading, but his eyes were chilling, "I've been outside for a few days, and I'm intact. And dying early and dying late is not still death! As you said, I don't know what it is that controls this forbidden area, and if we succeed, there is no need to live. * After the explosion, most of the people became mutants, and the artificial intelligence was out of the control of the global network, and all of them went crazy. How long will we live? ”
"You can think as long as you want!" Twenty-eight held one hand on his forehead, "It is impossible for a low-level machine to go crazy, such as the converter, in addition to the requirements, the shortcut icons such as 'food' and 'water' on the top can be reassembled at will, enough to provide forever." ”
"Nestled in this cubicle forever?" Wang Kunzhi scoffed.
"Compartments? No, those cyborg monsters can't be located in every corner of the building. Twenty-Eight explained, "And I don't believe they use converters, and after a few days, they'll kill each other for food, and even if they multiply fast, after a while, these monsters will disappear." ”
"You've overlooked something," Wang Kunzhi scratched his head, and he yelled, "'Twenty-four hours recovery'." ”
Twenty-Eight shrugged, the corners of his mouth drooping down.
"We have to go." Wang Kunzhi looked at the time, and more than ten minutes had passed since the message was announced, "There should be only the machine that killed the One Hundred and Nine around here." It needs another piece of food, and even if we dodge it for a while, it will come out of nowhere and kill us. ”
Twenty-eight was silent.
"It's nice to be outside the box, trust me, it's like in the movies! It's true! Wang Kunzhi further explained, "Now, there are mutants outside, but there are very few, and there are no half-machine monsters. ”
"So what did you say, what 'Zhang Zhiyu' claims to be these ......," Twenty-Eight worried.
"Yes, there are some, but they are all robots." Wang Kunzhi couldn't help but shudder when he thought of "Wang Jianyu", "And those machine monsters are much easier to deal with than these half-machine monsters." At the same time, he had another idea, he lived until now because the machine walked with him.
Twenty-Eight didn't reply, but his expression was visibly soothing.
"Prepare, we've got to get out of this restricted area." Wang Kunzhi seemed to be very satisfied, "Just one or two of those instruments are left, and the other parts are removed to preserve energy." It's useless to bring that much. ”
"When is your turn to call the shots?" Twenty-eight was disgusted and nervous, feeling only convulsions in his abdomen, streams of acid rushing into his throat, his limbs weak, and his mind short-circuited.
"I just noticed that we didn't notice that, and we were running around with a lot of equipment, and even with a new body, we were going to collapse sooner or later. Besides, it's not convenient at all. Wang Kunzhi has already begun to disassemble the instrument.
"I've passed the map to you, in the voice system of the two of us." Wang Kunzhi handed over Wang Jianyu's two * to No. 28, after all, although those instruments are extremely lethal, once some monsters approach, for example, the second one that was once a genetically modified dog is a semi-machine monster, it is more convenient to have a gun.
"The red line encloses the area where the monster is active?" Twenty-Eight looked at the map that didn't actually exist, even though he wasn't wearing imaging glasses.
"That's right, there is a dot with a diameter of one millimeter in the center of each area," Wang Kunzhi's cornea has also been modified, so he doesn't need to wear glasses, "When you touch it, it will show you the details of the monster." Let's say there are three of the monsters that block us here, and I found it interesting that their "territory" is not very large, only a few hundred square meters, but most of the monsters stay away from them. ”
"Okay, you've marked all the routes you want to take." Twenty-Eight made a wry smile, "Okay, if we survive the first three monsters, then next, we're going to go to the nearest terrace, walk through the "territory" of a primitive half-machine experiment, and board that tram?" And then leave? ”
"The original test is pretty easy to deal with!" Wang Kunzhi swore that "I killed two of them, and that was on the third day of the virus outbreak." ”
"Under what circumstances?" The twenty-eighth expressed skepticism.
"Sneak attacked." Wang Kunzhi shrugged his shoulders, although he also knew that this was complete nonsense.
"That's good." The tone of the sentence on the twenty-eighth became lower and lower, and the last word was like a bullet-loaded "click".
"Any questions?" Wang Kunzhi adjusted the territory of the three half-machine mutants into a small window and placed it in the lower left of the line of sight, which was already large enough, and the movement of each object could be clearly expressed, and the three bright spots were concentrated in one place. He didn't want to share this trick with Twenty-Eight. I don't know when the disgust started. "Ready?" It takes almost five seconds for those instruments to start, but if they are kept on all the time, it will take a lot of energy.
"I almost forgot." When Wang Kunzhi inadvertently rubbed the handle of the military laser cutter taken out of the factory, he thought. As a laser cutter for real weapons, it is in almost the exact opposite state of those instruments, slightly less lethal, stores many times more energy than those instruments, and takes less than a second to activate. He pulled out the cutter.
"Alright." Number 28 replied.
"Three." Wang Kunzhi blinked his dry eyes vigorously until his eyeballs hurt.
"Two!" Twenty-eight rubbed the handles of the two* against each other, and the acid in his mouth secreted more, and every muscle in his entire body began to shake.
"One." Wang Kunzhi's tone changed sharply.
Although the door in front of him silently slid open to both sides, the three bright spots on the map immediately moved separately and scattered everywhere.
"Well, you crop the map to the 'territory' of these three monsters, and then narrow that part down to a position that doesn't obstruct your view too much." Wang Kunzhi finally couldn't help it, after all, being too selfish or taking revenge for personal revenge won't help him survive, and there is no such thing as a "personal vendetta" or a personal vendetta.
“?“ This time, the reply from the twenty-eighth was just a feeling. The speech system is not literal, it gives a feeling, no matter what language, is translated into an idea and conveyed to the person who clicks. It's called the "phonetic system" because of the popular name it's customary.
"How?" Twenty-eight then asked. After all, there weren't many people who asked that, and if he did, he would be treated as a freak, so he immediately asked, "I did that a long time ago." “
Wang Kunzhi couldn't cry or laugh. At the same time, he noticed that Sang Liang was moving closer to them, and in about a few tens of seconds, he could reach the position of attacking the two of them.
", we've got to hide." Twenty-eight grunted.
Numerous instruments are blocked at the bottom, forming a labyrinthine layout. The entire core of the exclusion zone seems to be silent, but if you listen closely, you will find a variety of sounds mixed in. The storm of cockroaches was raging above the two of them at this time, and they seemed to be aimless, but the danger was unquestionable.
Three highlights stopped for the time being.
"Run!" The speech system fully expressed the fear of the twenty-eighth, and Wang Kunzhi even felt the exclamation mark after these two words. He didn't wait for an answer, he went straight to the corner between the two instruments, Wang Kunzhi didn't have time to see what was happening, so he had to follow him closely. His ears were filled with the earth-shattering "buzz".
At the bottom of the left wall of that angle there was a hollow that could reach half a meter high, and Twenty-Eight clumsily climbed into it.
"Quick!" The three bright spots on the map were motionless, less than ten meters away from the two of them, and they also seemed to be dodging the deadly "buzzing". Wang Kunzhi urged No. 28 in horror, grabbed his legs and pushed him in. The sound of countless insects chirping was deafening, and Wang Kunzhi mustered up the courage to raise his head tremblingly, looking at the dark wind getting closer and closer. He was stunned.
"Come in!" The twenty-eighth shouted out, interrupting Wang Kunzhi's trance. He had already entered the narrow "cave", where there was less than a few cubic meters of space.
No. 28 stretched out his hand, firmly grasped one of Wang Kunzhi's arms, and pulled it hard.
At the same time that Wang Kunzhi was pulled into the corner, the wind caught up with the two of them, and a large number of monsters continued to drill in along the hole. These instruments are not made of those substances, so they don't glow a pale blue, and the little flying monsters even obscure the only light source, and outside the hole, there are thousands of tumbling gray spots.
"Plug the hole!" Wang Kunzhi shouted, at this time, no one cares whether the voice system is used or not. He activated the cutter, temporarily blocking the swarming hungry mutant half-machine cockroaches and their offspring without any mechanical structure.
Within seconds, dozens of monsters had gotten in, frantically pounced on their bare skin, nibbling effortlessly, blood splattering everywhere.
No. 28 roared angrily and pulled out the dagger that Wang Kunzhi handed him, and with each swing, he could cut more than a dozen life-threatening insects in half.
"Whatever you want! Plug it! Wang Kunzhi shouted. Every second, hundreds of monsters were reduced to ashes under the beam of light shot from the Cutter.
"Nope! Keep the laser firing! "Twenty-eight yells, even with the mutated vocal cords, at someone who is a few centimeters away, and that person's eardrum is also mutated, it has to be yelled to get through the muffled screams of insects." They'll be gone soon! ”
Monsters killed by the dagger will immediately regenerate and reorganize, and after a few seconds, they will fully recover and engage in a new attack again.
"Shit! Military laser cutter low-power shots can also last a few minutes! Wang Kunzhi shouted, "But they're still outside!" They're too much! ”
"They'll leave!" Twenty-Eight responded. He knew that wielding a dagger would not really kill a monster, but he still danced desperately. In fact, whether the IQ of those cockroaches is so low or not, No. 28 is not sure.
The flesh and blood of the two men were blurred, the ground was somehow covered with metal plates, and the broken bodies of the monsters were piled up on the ground, and soon, the humming gradually stopped, but the three bright spots on the map still did not move.
Wang Kunzhi did not stop firing lasers, and he silently counted 60 in his heart. After that, although there was no sound outside, the three bright spots still did not act. Wang Kunzhi silently hoped that the three half-mutant and half-machine bastards were the next target of the cockroach storm.
He was the first to drill out of the small space, in fact, he was already impatient, after the mutation of his body, the pain nerves were more sensitive.
The gray monster storm turned away, and at that angle, it was impossible to spot the two of them, nor to see the three monsters.
"Hurry up!" Wang Kunzhi said softly, "There's nothing outside!" He crawled out slowly, and despite the help of another man, he kept hitting the edges.
The three bright spots began to move, and the two hurried to the destination specified in the road map. The three machines also changed direction.
"By the way, did you find a problem?" Wang Kunzhi asked the twenty-eighth with a wry smile, "Number three." ”
"What?" Although the body of the 28th recovered, there were still a lot of blood stains on the clothes, which were not conspicuous on the military body armor, and the only thing that could tell them of their existence was the white reflection between the darkness.
"Number three?" Wang Kunzhi's eyes suddenly became confused, "What do I want to say?" He suddenly yelled, as if he were breaking down, "Apologies, I forgot, only the number three remains." Seeing Twenty-Eight's astonished gaze, his tone soothed. Just when he said it, he forgot everything, he remembered it clearly one second, and the next second it flashed away, and the thought was still firmly held in his hand before, but now he couldn't grasp it. All that remains is the sentence he blurted out, "number three".
"Wait, I'm impressed, too." The twenty-eighth was not annoyed by Wang Kunzhi's madness, "'Number three'? I seem to have thought about it too, but ...... Now it'......" he struggled to describe the word.
"Ethereal." Wang Kunzhi muttered to himself.
On the map, the three highlights are already very close.
