Roar! The golden dust had just drifted away, and a humanoid creature swooped straight at Gou Cao.

Seeing this, Gou Cao hurriedly dodged to the side, and the monster pounced with all his heart, and his center of gravity was completely tilted forward, and after he pounced, his center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground. Gou Cao didn't have time to wonder what this was, so he aimed at his head and opened the subspace storage device.

"Dangerous storage behavior is detected, and the beacon safety lock is locked." The expected sight of the monster's head being unloaded and stored in the subspace did not happen, but the subspace beacon that Gou Cao carried with him fed back an error report through a neural signal.

Taking advantage of the stagnation of his movements, the monster quickly turned over and jumped away, and the monster's movements were quite agile. The IQ is not low, unlike ordinary zombies who only know how to pounce on their prey with one mind, and never know how to retreat.

Pull out the gun! Can't pull it out. The monster did take the opportunity to rush up quickly, and slapped Gou Cao away. In the past, Gou Ke had always put all his weapons and ammunition in the subspace. Now it is a big loss.

Falling heavily to the ground, Gou Ke, who was temporarily having difficulty breathing from a blow to his chest, curled up on the ground and struggled to contact Cortana.

"When dangerous storage behavior is detected, the subspace beacon will have a forced lock time of ten seconds before it can reopen the security lock to access the item, and five seconds more." Cortana's voice came from the neurocommunication device.

Five seconds is five seconds! Seeing that the monster was about to rush over again, Gou Cao hurriedly rolled over and dodged. Then, when the monster fell to the ground, he quickly got up and ran in the opposite direction.

But the monster was so fast that it was three seconds behind Gou Cao, and the next second it rushed behind Gou Cao.

"The lock is open!" Cortana also knew that the situation was critical at this time, and she spoke very briefly. Gou Cao heard the amnesty, pulled out a pistol with a suppressor, and then turned around like a policeman from a country across the Pacific Ocean met a black man, and shot all the bullets in the magazine at the humanoid monster. Looking at the dense translucent bullet holes on the body of the monster that fell heavily to the ground, Gou Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what just happened?" I didn't have time to ask just now, but I still have to figure it out, otherwise there may always be a similar situation.

"There is a dangerous storage behavior, so the subspace star is locked with a safety lock, and the safety lock cannot be used after it is locked. It's like a tripping switch, it's a safety measure"

"So what's dangerous storage?"

"The definition of dangerous storage is very complicated, and whether it is enough to be dangerous storage is regulated by this special law, but if you understand it roughly, it means that it is used on living animals or objects that do not belong to you. You're not the only one who realizes that this thing can be used as a weapon, so the designers of subspace beacons must be limited to this. Before storage, the subspace beacon will identify the storage object and determine that it does not constitute dangerous storage before starting storage. This is also the reason why subspace storage is theoretically carried out with zero latency, but in practice there is a delay of several nanoseconds. ”

"Didn't I use it on people before?"

"The safety lock of the subspace storage device is only useful for intelligent beings with ownership marks or registered within a specific time and space range of the joint meeting, and human beings in this era have no ownership marks and are not registered intelligent creatures, so the automatic locking mechanism of the safety lock will not be triggered."

"What is the title mark?"

It is a kind of identification contained in the atomic-level onlooker structure that can be read from the ownership information, which can indicate the ownership of various rights. A copyright mark is also a type of ownership mark. Generally speaking, if the ownership of an item is not particularly valuable, the automatic locking mechanism will not be triggered. ”

"That's why I can't dig through the walls of that pyramid with subspace storage...... Other words...... The tower of gold is indeed the property of an alien or a future person. …… So what's going on with this monster? Is it from an extraterrestrial or future? You have an influence," Gou Cao frowned and pointed to the monster that had fallen to the ground. This thing doesn't look like a sapient creature, and if it's an alien pet with a logo or something, then its owner is too heavy-mouthed. But Cortana, who is also from the future, may know.

"I'm not sure, I'm sure I've never seen any intelligent creature look like this, and it doesn't look like the type of intelligent creature raised. The most likely explanation is that this thing may carry the genetic material of intelligent beings of major civilizations. Those arrogant guys have a wide protection of their own people, and as long as they have some genes, the subspace beacons produced by the fringe civilizations must be included in the scope of protection. ”

"So there's really aliens or futurists or something like that." Gou Cao's brows tightened a little.

"Well, more importantly, if these things involve major civilizations, it's really a big thing that can destroy the world...... They have done a lot of things about dropping the Earth's core destruction device on the home planet of a marginal civilization. ”

Earth's nuclear destruction device...... Gou Cao didn't ask Cortana what she meant by something that she knew was dangerous when she heard the name. Anyway, it's good to know that things are not good.

Not thinking too much about the long-term for a while, Gou Ke crouched down and began to carefully observe the monster he had just killed. This thing looks like a zombie, and basically maintains the general outline of a human. But the dark carbon-like skin has been hardened by an unknown mechanism, and the sound of knocking on it is very crisp. The cracked part is silvery-white at the very bottom. It is soft but still tough like leather armor.

The nail part is also silvery-white, and like metal, it is very sharp. The eye has completely degenerated, turning into a terrifying blue soft sphere that sticks to the socket, and glows blue even after death.

The difference with zombies is that zombies have blood, but this monster doesn't, so the place where the bullet pierced is not blocked by flesh and blood, but it has always remained transparent. In addition, none of the twelve bullets hit the monster's head. It shows that this monster must be hit in the head like a zombie, otherwise it will be difficult to kill.

The overall feeling is completely different from that of the monsters that were directly or indirectly infected by the zombie virus. Thinking about it, I don't have a clue. Just took a few samples and decided to put them aside for the time being.

"Cortana, is there a way to determine my location?"

"I can confirm your current location by comparing the terrain from the digital map you deposited before the cataclysm, but you need to find a high point to see all the terrain attached to it. What you see can be converted into images and transmitted to me through a neural communication device. ”

After speaking, Gou Ke looked around and saw the towering watchtower hundreds of meters away, and then remembered that he had been tied up in a corpse chaser stronghold.
