Chapter 15: Flashback

The three of them loaded as many weapons as they could. Under Wang Jianyu's orders, they threw away the guns they had taken, and each took only three guns with them, and the rest were loaded with the most lethal bullets*. Zhang Zhiyu brought an assault rifle, a machine gun, and a portable * gun. The roulette wheel of each round of ammunition for this * cannon is large, the size of two palms, but the ammunition inside is very small, a small steel ball with a diameter of 1 centimeter. Zhang Zhiyu disassembled many * cannons, took out small steel balls, and put them in his pocket. Wang Kunzhi took two sniper rifles and a heavy laser cutter. The overall shape of the heavy laser cutter was similar to that of an old shotgun with the handle facing outward, except that a large part of it was transparent, revealing a machine that glowed blue inside. Wang Jianyu took four*.

"My privilege." Wang Jianyu muttered to himself.

The two didn't react, they didn't think it mattered. Anyway, this * is very small, almost half smaller than the old * * , does not take up space and is full of lethality.

The trio agree to get out of this underground factory as soon as possible, which is full of crazy robot workers.

They run quickly through the passage to the ground, trying not to make a sound. Halfway up the stairs, the trio heard the grinding of metal claws from the ground, a metallic scream of chirping. The voices grew closer, turning from faint whispers to loud noises.

"Oh my God!" Wang Jianyu took the lead and ran down the stairs as fast as he could, returning the same way, "The walls and doors are soundproof. “

Zhang Zhiyu understood the problem he would face next, and then turned around and retreated towards the underground factory.

Wang Kunzhi didn't react, he looked up at the swirling corner of the spiral staircase, only to see spider bodies flashing with black metal light in the gap of the staircase far above. The spiders didn't back down, they followed the car to find it, and the army of thousands of spiders easily tore through the metal gate that looked like a piece of paper to them, and got into the only way into the building.

"What the are you doing!" Zhang Zhiyu didn't use the voice system, and scolded in a low voice and dragged Wang Kunzhi down the corner of the stairs. The trio hurried down the stairs in a panic, no longer afraid of making a sound to get the robot's attention. The spiders' electronic brains easily analyzed the heavy footsteps of the three men, different from the metal scraping. They were even more excited, scrambling down the stairs like a raging wave of metal.

Wang Jianyu and the other two opened the door a dozen paces away, and he turned around and was horrified to find that the crazy spider wave was already close at hand.

"Quick!" He slipped through the door, leaving only room for two people, and he yelled.

The two of them pounced on the metal gate, Wang Jianyu immediately closed it tightly, and the huge wave immediately rushed up to the vulnerable door, the door could not withstand the huge pressure and bent inward, and at the same time, the spider in front of it continued to stretch out its steel claws, stabbing the door out of a long strip of holes. The gate was broken down by spiders. The robot spiders searched for the location of the three targets, but it was as if they had evaporated from the world. In order to find them, the spiders slammed around, destroying everything they suspected. When the search was fruitless, the spiders did not give up, they tore open the huge iron door that blocked the way to the front, and began to rampage through the underground factory.

Three people were in the walls of the underground factory at this time. The walls are modified rock layers underground, so you can do whatever you want, this is an escape route designed by Wang Jianyu himself, and it is also an uncomplicated labyrinth. The walls are thick and soundproofed, and the entrance to the tunnel blends in well with the walls of the underground factory, which even robots can't easily spot. At the end of the tunnel is a lift, connected to the city's metro system, while in the first half, there is an elevator that leads to the factory grounds.

"Should we go?" Wang Kunzhi listened to the outside world through the humble door.

"It's useless," Wang Jianyu revealed his shortcomings, "You can't hear anything if there are robots out there." ”

"Wait." Zhang Zhiyu said.

"Wait?" Wang Jianyu scolded with a wry smile, "Wait for you to be paralyzed!" How can you be so sure that you won't get caught by a spider halfway through? How can you be so sure there are no other robots on the ground waiting for you? ”

"Where's the exit to the underground labyrinth?" Zhang Zhiyu asked.

"Let's not go to the exit," Wang Jianyu shrugged, and before the other two could react, he said, "There is a road that leads to the ground halfway, and the exit is the subway system, have you forgotten what is in the subway company?" His tone was very frustrated, his voice gradually lowered, and the last few words were almost just lip-syncing.

"If you're asking about the road map," Wang added, "there's no other turning route here, only this one." He pointed to the winding tunnel in front of him.

"Alright," Zhang Zhiyu said, "in that case, let's leave before these spiders find us." ”

"By the way," Wang Jianyu took off the two handfuls on his back, "I forgot to tell you that there are several places in this place that have been interrupted by the factory." We had to go through that. ”

"Why!" Wang Kunzhi spoke suddenly.

Wang Jianyu was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, "Because those sections will be too long if they go around to build tunnels, and each section will be at least more than 1,000 meters away." ”

Now, a door identical to the entrance to the tunnel blocks the only way. This tunnel is the same as what Wang Jianyu said. Except for the walls that connected to the underground factory, which were treated, the rest was simply processed from the rocks. At the top, there is only a row of dim and monotonous lights, making it difficult to see the road. The lights are not even connected to the building's unified power station, but are powered by small, old-fashioned generators. It can be seen that the tunnel was built as fast as possible.

"Get your weapons ready." Wang Jianyu said solemnly: "Don't be stingy with ammunition. We're going to have to go through there to the other side. Since entering this tunnel, the three of them have naturally spoken, because almost all employees and robots do not know about this escape tunnel, so they are not too defensive.

He gently unlocked the door, but didn't kick it open immediately. He was hunched over with a strange expression. After a few seconds, he straightened up, "Brothers, be careful. Before he could finish speaking, he kicked the door open.

This time, it's not the robots who are busy working, but hundreds of robots with weapons ready to go. Seeing that the door opened, all the * of the broken copper and iron robots hanging in their hands were lifted at the same time, they were the same height, the same size, and the same distance from each other, neatly aligned. The trio started shooting the moment the door was opened, the robots' plastic armor was too fragile to be easily shredded by bullets. But with hundreds of robots in the pipeline, it became very difficult to cross the 5-meter road.

All three of them were shot by many bullets, and the substance blocked all attacks, and the impact of the bullets was also defused to a certain extent. They solved dozens of robots in just a few seconds. But it's not enough. They had to shrink back.

"Do you produce any bulletproof armor or something?" Zhang Zhiyu asked. He pulled out the fragments of the bullet pinned to the material piece, "especially the helmet." ”

"No," Wang Jianyu seemed a little delirious, "it's just a weapon." We are not a legally recognized manufacturer. Although one of the chairmen had agreed to change our factory into a national weapons factory. Seriously, the chairman reached out to me, and he was scared me to death. After that, he seemed to be back to normal.

"What else can we do?" Zhang Zhiyu was a little anxious, "We're already out, and the spider will find out where we are right away." ”

"By the way, I just reacted when you said that, let's kill all the robots instead." Wang Kunzhi picked up a few*. He slammed the door open and threw all* in all directions. He closed the door tightly.

"Those robots are in a state of readiness with one hand, and a bullet almost blew my head off just now." He panted.

"There's no need." Wang Jianyu said, his voice surprisingly deep, "We have to hurry up and go to the other side, if these robots have any connection with spiders, they must have been uploaded a long time ago." He suddenly rushed out of the door, outside the door, Wang Jianyu endured a rain of bullets, the smoke from the explosion obscured the sight of the other two, they watched Wang Jianyu open the door 5 meters away, through the fog produced by the explosion, fell inside, stunned.

Wang Jianyu was lying on the ground, not getting up immediately, and many bullets had just hit him in the head. He could even clearly see the skin and muscles shattered by the explosion, but he didn't feel anything, not even the slightest throbbing. He lifted his hand and trembled and gently scratched his cheek. However, instead of soft and smooth skin, it was hard and cold steel bones. Wang Jianyu knelt on his knees, straightened up, and rubbed his face desperately. Nearly his entire face had been blown away, leaving only metallic bones. The roar in his head almost knocked Wang Jianyu to the ground, until the last remaining bit of skin grew rapidly until it covered the entire skull.

"Oh my God, I'm a machine." He muttered, "I'm a fucking machine!" He screamed. And the sound of bullets drowned out his howl.

"What should I do?" He thought as he broke down, and flashbacks burst into action with unprecedented speed and clarity until they engulfed his personality.

The third day of the virus outbreak. During the battle in the parking lot a few hours ago, he twisted the heads of 3 robots with his bare hands.

The day before the virus broke out. His mind is activated in robots lying in coffin-like transparent containers, nanobots injected into grooves in the machine's bones, and they prompt the formation of human tissue, the emergence of layers of muscles and blood vessels, and finally the skin. The anthropomorphic system is completed. Behind it, it shimmered, constantly changing shape.

Three days before the outbreak of the virus at 22:42. The SWAT officers found the last traces of Wang Jianyu. None of the instruments could deduce his next move, and the entire tunnel began to be untraceable, and the heavily armed policemen looked at each other in disbelief, but still powerless.

Three days before the outbreak of the virus at 20:22. The light it emitted changed slightly, dimming at first but immediately rekindling, and shining brighter, shining brightly through the dark tunnels. In the body of the monster constantly changing shape, a light whip composed of the same substance stretched out softly, extending towards the stunned Wang Jianyu, and suddenly pierced the back of his head in an instant, neat, efficient, and not even a trace of blood was splashed. He could feel the coldness of the pierced skull, and the still-spreading tranquility. Wang Jianyu died without a little pain. But the composition of the light whip keeps each of his cells alive. More light whips poked out of the monster's body, completely enveloping Wang Jianyu, rolling into its body, they fused together, and then, disappeared, without a hint of warning. And so it was gone.

Three days before the outbreak of the virus at 20:19. Wang Jianyu woke up under the strong light. Ahead, not the troops in the dream, but it. Wang Jianyu's first thought was that it was a machine, or some kind of physical astral map. But upon closer inspection, it was clearly a living being, its body uneven, made of an eerie substance, incomparably transparent, fragile, clear, and glittering. The void in the astral map is the transparency of matter, and the line between the stars is the edge of the physahedron, and the light emitted by each star is changing, and here it is the natural light emitted by the monster, which changes with the change of the phyhedron. But no matter how you transform, this thing stays in the same ball.

At 18:20, three days before the outbreak of the virus, Wang Jianyu was running around the subway system where he couldn't see his fingers. He was lost and did not dare to turn on the searchlight. This light will not only illuminate your path, but it will also attract the damned SWAT who will kill you. He ran here for at least 20 minutes. Before, the troops came without warning, a new trick of the damned new chairman. The old chairman disappeared from the world two days ago, and his bones were gone. The only indication was that he had reminded himself a few days ago to change the assembly line to underground and create an escape tunnel. He was tired, and when he understood that he could not confront the state, and when his own employees died one by one, he began to flee. He lay on the cold subway floor and gradually fell asleep. Beams of dazzling light suddenly shone towards Wang Jianyu from all directions, Wang Jianyu was trapped in the strong light and could not escape, he was stunned, slowly propped up his tired body, covered his eyes with his hands, and squinted between his fingers to look at the source of those lights. Many dark shadows flickered back and forth from behind the bright light, accompanied by a creepy rough, shrill laugh.

......

Endless images swallowed up his mind, which swirled and danced to form a picture of madness that even the craziest people could not witness in the wildest dreams.

"Hey," Zhang Zhiyu woke Wang Jianyu up from this crazy group of demons, "what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Jianyu suddenly came to his senses, and all the lost memories flooded into his brain at once.

"What can I do?" Wang Jianyu thought, his face was full of sadness, he saw the future, he saw the past, he found everything in the last period of the earth in the flashback, this is a doomed sad ending, and he also understands his role in this sad chessboard.

"I'm not the main character." He lowered his head and was silent, the other two had closed the door tightly, "There has never been a protagonist. “

"Are you okay?" Zhang Zhiyu and Wang Kunzhi helped him up and asked with concern.

"How?" Wang Jianyu tried to make his tone cheerful, shaking off the doomed and desperate future, "I'm fine, go quickly, there is a turning port ahead, there may not be anything waiting for us." ”

The three of them stepped up and ran through the dark tunnel.
