Chapter 23: Inside the Forbidden Zone
"What the is going on?" In front of the twenty-eighth, Wang Kunzhi finally cracked the corners of his mouth, he himself didn't realize this, his face showed a twitching smile, "What happened to the core?" ”
"This ...... How the do I know!" Twenty-eight's voice was intertwined with excitement and depression, and he forgot for a moment how to talk to people, so he deliberately strengthened the tone of the expletives to show friendship.
"Ah, so what are you guys doing?" Wang Kunzhi responded, he could hear the embarrassment in the other party's tone, rubbed the handle of the instrument with his fingernails, stood up, moved back and forth in the tram, and observed everything that could be observed idlely.
"Actually, I'm not with them." Twenty-Eight didn't know what to say, "I didn't come until the first day after the outbreak, and by that time they were all dead. ”
"And then!" The tram sped down the tracks, surrounded by all sorts of creepy sounds, and Wang Kunzhi looked out the window at the chaotic scene in the core, "What plans were they making before they died?" ”
"I don't know," Twenty-Eight crossed his legs in the last seat, "That's it!" Empty, messy. He didn't seem to care at all about the screaming and slashing of the transformation monsters.
"Okay, what have you done in the past four days?" With a "drip" sound, the tram stopped, and the doors slowly slid to both sides, "We're a little too stupid, didn't you notice?" If someone else had spoken like this, Wang Kunzhi would have gone crazy a long time ago, but in front of this colleague, he said this sentence with a wild laugh.
"No, it's several more layers. The train was the closest to the platform. Twenty-Eight struggled to keep his tone relaxed, "I found out, too, though, we're too high, it's easy to attract some weird things, and the ones outside the window don't pose a threat for the time being, you're so lucky to pick a time when most of the monsters are lurking and resting to enter the restricted area." ”
Wang Kunzhi suddenly remembered what he should ask, but he quietly waited for the twenty-eighth to finish his words, "By the way, a few minutes ago, I looked through the research conclusions of their lifetime, of course, it was not the system of that platform, but the information of the handwriting. The data only came up with those that could be adapted to other organisms, but not those that could be applied to antidotes. Not even the slightest assumption ......"
"Yes, you said the antidote!" The twenty-eighth suddenly interrupted Wang Kunzhi's narration, "I also found those information, and then I tried to create a virus that can counteract the effect of those mutations, well, it is the antidote......"
"Did it work?" Wang Kunzhi asked urgently.
"No, not even possible." Twenty-Eight's tone was full of concern, and he didn't pay attention to change his voice, expressing his true feelings, "However, we also found that this place is full of dangers. ”
Wang Kunzhi stood up, and during this period of conversation, the car drove over three platforms, and he walked towards No. 28, "I can see it, but you guys?" ”
"There are three of us." Twenty-Eight mused, "We were attacked by a pack of dogs, to hell with Seventy-two, and now at least the core is in danger. ”
"Dogs?" Wang Kunzhi smiled incredulously, "Is it dangerous even for experimental dogs?" ”
"Not just test subjects, they're ...... Unlike other test subjects, these monsters are agile and dodge long before the laser is fired! They are so lethal that being caught by one is a dead end! And they come in groups! ”
"By the way, these dogs are supposed to have been modified by those mutants." Wang Kunzhi said, "It's just like the cyborgs we transformed before. They weren't as threatening as a cockroach, and you said there was a third person? How is he? ”
The tram stopped for the fourth time, and the twenty-eighth did not answer, "Here it is, the other one is one hundred and nine, we found out that you are coming, so we will go and solve you." ”
"Solve me?" Wang Kunzhi muttered.
"God knows," Twenty-Eight was the first to leave the tram, "you're wrapped like a mummy." God knows if you're a mutant or a human. He cleared his throat, "Also, don't underestimate cockroaches, they're a real danger right now. ”
Wang Kunzhi didn't respond, but just followed closely behind No. 28, this platform is surprisingly large, it should be five or six hundred square meters, and it is blocked into a labyrinth-like layout by various instruments.
"I forgot to ask the question, how do you keep the cutter at maximum power?" Twenty-Eight asked, confused.
Wang Kunzhi didn't say a word, opened his robe, revealing the "body armor" inside, which emitted a faint blue fluorescence.
"This is it!" He gently stroked the "body armor" made of the strange substance, which faded in color and spread outwards where it had been touched, returning to its original shape again after the fingers detached.
"This is ......," Twenty-Eight said in surprise, "the raw materials that make up our building, right?" Red bricks? ”
"Yes, it is." Wang Kunzhi buttoned up his robe, because No. 28 had never seen the real appearance of the material in the eyes of outsiders, so what he saw was still what he thought, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Yes, these substances can't be cut, how do you make 'body armor'?"
"Command!" Wang Kunzhi shrugged, "You can tell you the specific production process of the computer in the room." It's a pity that it's not possible now, the whole world's artificial intelligence has collapsed! ”
"Impossible!" The twenty-eighth scratched his neck, "The global network collapsed? ”
"No, but artificial intelligence is not controlled!" Wang Kunzhi replied.
The sound was so small that it couldn't be heard from a distance, and as we approached a corner separated by a supercomputer, there was a faint sound of rustling. No. 28 hurriedly stopped Wang Kunzhi.
"Shh Number 28 holds his index finger to his mouth.
The boo was flawless, but there was a quick response. Around the corner, there was a beastly roar that tore through and was hoarse.
The two glanced at each other and ran away.
"What's that!" Wang Kunzhi asked No. 28 with a voice system.
"If I don't say you'll know." Twenty-eight is getting faster and faster, "Robot dog." “
With another piercing roar, Twenty-Eight screamed and was thrown to the ground. The robot dog was genetically modified and so large that its body completely covered Twenty-Eight, immobilizing him. The monster clasped his fingers and sharp teeth, towering his body, and his twenty-centimeter-long metal claws pressed him tightly to the ground, easily tearing open the military body armor.
Twenty-Eight turned around and stared in horror at the cyborg monster lying on top of him, half of its head replaced by a ring of smooth metal, and the auditory sight bands floated above it, replacing its eyes and ears...... A large cloud of cold, sticky saliva broke through the jagged teeth and dripped onto Twenty-Eight's face, and he didn't dare make any small movements for fear of angering the mad cyborg dog.
It was too late to launch the laser, Wang Kunzhi pulled out the military dagger and threw it at the hearing and vision band of the robot dog. The bands of metal then cracked into pieces, and the dagger was embedded deep into its metal brain (this?). It howled in pain, its voice sharper and sharper, piercing through the core of the exclusion zone, and it lifted its massive body, and Twenty-Eight took the opportunity to roll out from under the monster.
The two tried to speed away from the platform, trying to ignore the howls of the cyborg monsters.
The howl did not stop, but grew louder and louder. They came to the outskirts of the platform, and the tram space was empty.
At first, the voices were sparse and scattered everywhere, and it was difficult to attract attention, but now, the roar of the beast was deafening.
"Oh my God." Twenty-Eight muttered to himself.
"Are you making an antidote impossible?" Wang Kunzhi asked weakly, "Didn't we make it a long time ago?" ”
"That's right," Twenty-Eight grabbed a chair and sat down, his left leg resting on his right, "the person who launched the virus has made some minor improvements, and the antidote may succeed, but with our technology...... Can't do it. ”
"Alright, we can go, let's get out of here." Wang Kunzhi replied.
"Listen, what is this?" Suddenly, he heard an insect-like buzzing sound.
"It's just the sound of a tram." The tram slowly moved up under the four-story track, and the twenty-eighth stood up.
The platform shook violently, and the frantic roar of the robot dog could be heard in the distance and the crushing of various devices as it went on a rampage. At the same time, the buzzing of insects is becoming clearer and clearer, and this is by no means the sound of a tram.
"By the way, what happened to One Hundred and Nine?" Wang Kunzhi raised the cutter and started it with shaking hands.
"He's dead, what else?" Twenty-eight also turned on the cutter.
The machine in front of it, the last wall, was torn in two, metal shards flew in all directions, the robot dog sniffed hard, the huge droplet-shaped nostrils fluttered violently, and the dagger was still stuck in its skull, just a few millimeters inward, the blade could slam its (is this a violation?). Cut in half.
The beast pounced, and both of them fired lasers at the same time.
Two powerful lasers pierced through its stout arms and head (?) The monster's roar gradually became weak, and the pierced arm snapped off with a "bang", and it fell to the ground with a bang, and the entire platform was shocked.
The dog's body glides slowly on the platform, the armor that covers it rains down, and its breathing is so heavy that it doesn't look like it can last long.
The tram came to a slow stop at the stop, the doors slid gently to the sides, and they turned.
"Oh my God!" Wang Kunzhi couldn't help but yell, and No. 28 also retreated step by step in shock.
It was a raging tornado of thousands of cockroaches, slowly flying towards the platform, and the buzzing sound shook the earth. Zombie cockroaches combine with cyborg cockroaches to become an all-engulfing madness.
Wang Kunzhi swept the laser towards the center of the wind, and a large number of cockroaches were reduced to ashes, but for the cockroaches that made up the storm, these losses were not even a dime a dozen metaphors.
"Damn, come up!" Twenty-eight rushed into the tram, blocking his body in the induction area, barely preventing the door from shutting shut.
Wang Kunzhi rushed into the tram recklessly, and the laser cutter stopped. Twenty-eight retracted his body in time.
As the tram flew away from the platform, a storm of cockroaches surged onto the platform, engulfing the tracks with ease and shattering the remains of the robotic monster as easily as tearing open a piece of paper.
"The orbit that provided the power was ruined." Twenty-eight looked back at the area where the cockroaches had passed, where the power track had disappeared.
"It's okay, we're getting out of here anyway." Wang Kunzhi didn't care at all, "Also, we almost died." ”
"Look around us!" Twenty-eight looked out the window and immediately screamed, "Dogs! ”
Wang Kunzhi shuddered, "What are you talking about!" ”
Howls followed, and outside the window, a large number of cyborg monsters chased the car.
A metal monster jumped directly in front of the tracks, the tram did not slow down, and when it was about to crash into the monster, it jumped onto the tram, and the tram shook.
The cyborg dog moves slowly on the top of the tram, each footstep making the two of them tremble. The monster was experiencing the thrill of frightening its prey.
"Holy!" Wang Kunzhi looked at the platform in front of him and scolded angrily, "What are those bastards doing with so many transformations!" ”
"That's all, the conclusion should be universal." Twenty-eight said tremblingly.
The dogs were so smart that they split up and jumped onto the platform where the car in front of them was about to stop.
"Go the other way!" Wang Kunzhi yelled, he activated the cutter and opened a big hole in the side wall of the tram, "Go to another platform!" ”
"You're crazy!" On the 28th, he looked at the platform that Wang Kunzhi was looking at, which was dozens of meters away from the current position of the tram, "We will fall to death!" ”
The cyborg monster on the roof gnawed at the roof of the car, slicing a huge crack.
"No!" Wang Kunzhi said vaguely, "You'll know!" He jumped off the tram and fell like a stone to the platform, the moving air cutting his skin like a knife, and he bit his lip and bit out a lot of blood. With the final impact, consciousness was lost.
The train was about to reach the platform, and looking at the growing crack and the dogs swarming on the platform, No. 28 thought twice and jumped off the train.
The monster on the roof of the car looked up, looked at the two of them with a roar, and jumped off the train.
At the same time that Wang Kunzhi regained consciousness, the dark shadow of the monster enveloped him. He hurriedly dodged to the side, and the metal monster pounced in the air and performed a beautiful tumbling to face Wang Kunzhi, but this action was very comical for its huge size.
It roared, its mouth cracked into its ears, and all its sharp teeth bared out.
The dogs leave the platform and jump from platform to platform, chasing the two of them.
Wang Kunzhi seized the opportunity, pulled out the pistol hidden in his waist, and shot at its fully open mouth. The bullets weren't lethal to it, of course, but they did distract the robot monster.
It took a few steps back and raised its head, Wang Kunzhi took the opportunity to shoot a laser from the cutter hiding behind him to gather energy, and the laser grazed the head of the machine monster, and the laser burned the metal of its skull, but it was not fatal.
The robot monster lowered its head, part of its vision band vanished, and there were plenty of tiny cracks at the edges. This is where the afterglow of the laser has just been hit. Judging by its distorted face, it went crazy with rage. Wang Kunzhi was sure that it would tear through his body in the next second, and it would (this?) Thrown everywhere.
After a moment of dazzle, the robot dog's headless body shook gently and fell to the ground.
On the 28th, Wang Kunzhi was raised.
"To the top, it's impossible to escape." Wang Kunzhi said.
"So we're going down there." No. 28 cooperated with Wang Kunzhi very tacitly.
In the past few seconds, the dogs have been very close to the two of them, and three robot dogs have jumped onto the platform.
"Jump. We can't die! Wang Kunzhi gritted his teeth and said, he jumped to the bottom nearly a hundred meters away from here.
Dozens of robot dogs surrounded Twenty-Three, and he had to jump off the platform with him.
The dogs weren't ready to take the risk, they poked their heads out of the platform's railings and stared at them as they fell in two (this?). )。
The robot dogs are knocking their teeth at each other, looking at the two piles that were once prey (or is it TMD?). ), decided not to hunt anymore, dispersed, and disappeared throughout the core.
"We, what's wrong?" After a few minutes, both of their bodies recovered, "How can we reorganize without mutation?" Twenty-Eight asked aloud.
Wang Kunzhi quickly blocked No. 28's mouth.
"Shh He motioned to the twenty-eighth not to speak, "I also have a lot of problems, and I will solve them when it is safe." He said in a whispered voice.
At this time, the two of them were in the dead end of the labyrinth, and even if the deadly monster was a meter away from them, they would not know.
But there was still a sound, and outside the dead end, there were constantly footsteps, and although the owner of the footsteps was a bipedal creature, it could not be human, just like metal.
"Our first experiment." Wang Kunzhi said in the voice system.
"We need to go to a safe place." Twenty-Eight responded, pointing to an unidentified chamber more than a dozen meters away, "Let's say that!" “
"I'll count to three, and we'll go together." Wang Kunzhi said.
"What if the door is locked, we don't have a password or fingerprint pupil mismatch, I've never been to the bottom." The voice system simulated his worried mood.
"Wait until you die, leave it to your fate, pray!" Wang Kunzhi replied, but he was not so optimistic, he was actually afraid to death.
He felt fear again.
"Let's go!" He sent a message.
The two of them rushed to the compartment at the fastest speed of their mutated bodies.
There was a roar like a dying old man* from outside the corner, the light at the sensing point had been extinguished, and it was too late to open the door, so they slammed into the door in a desperate gamble.
Unexpectedly, the door opened, and the two men fell into the small room.
"Quick, lock the door!" The monster's roar sounded right next to the door, and Wang Kunzhi shouted.
Twenty-Eight quickly locked the door.
The monster attacked the gate like crazy, but both knew it was in vain.
"We have such a tacit understanding!" Wang Kunzhi exclaimed.
"Look what!" Twenty-eight was very curious.
"The system won't agree, the whole world's artificial intelligence is finished, I seem to have said it." Wang Kunzhi shrugged, "Still, I at least know that we're trapped in this damn 'cushioned room'. ”
