Phew――――――――――――――

--------------------------------------

The capsule tank of the culture is emptied and opened at a constant speed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The blue-haired beauty, who controlled this real body in the shortest time, opened her eyes steadily: "Goddess." ”

Glancing at the guardian A.I behind the goddess of hunting, who was smiling and waving at her, the blue-haired beauty with a more and more natural pronunciation followed closely to send a greeting: "Good day, madam." ”

"How does it feel?" A.I, the guardian of the No. 3 Gene Sphere, smiled before the goddess. Sure enough, it's one of the few extroverted personalities.

"There was some tingling on the scalp and intermittent discharge from the pores, but other than that, everything was fine." For the first time, I woke up with my true body, and the functions of my body were adapting to the same as my bound will.

The most powerful thing about the Hacker Empire is not just the machine modification with its almost rotten pipeline. The mother body that can cultivate and accommodate the spiritual body is even more powerful and incomparably powerful against the sky.

The machine is modified, but it can strengthen the body. The mother, on the other hand, is mentally strong (mind you). Just as man is made up of a physical body and a spiritual body. The so-called strong person not only refers to the body, but also has a stronger spirit to match it.

It's actually quite understandable. Just as powerful hardware requires powerful software to match it.

The reason why the blue-haired beauty was able to control this quantum-formatted enhanced human body almost unresponsively was precisely because her spirit body had also been hatched, nurtured, and evolved in the mother body (the mother body here refers to the Hunter Ring's exclusive intranet architecture) that was powerful enough. This technique is similar to the method used by the machine city to breed ghost hunters.

"It's normal, don't worry." As the leader of the entire Symbiote Project, Guardian A.I has accumulated enough experience in nurturing Ghost Hunters and Dark Hunters.

"Yes, ma'am." The blue-haired beauty nodded slightly.

Only then did she realize that she had begun to breathe normally at some point.

"Physiology is a, huh...... Something like a backgrounder, or a passive skill, is an innate ability of living organisms. You don't have to manipulate it. Guardian A.I explained.

"Understood." In other words, abilities such as breathing, hearing, sight, smell, and touch, which are unique to living organisms, do not need to be controlled by humans.

"Familiarize yourself as soon as possible." The goddess of the hunt said calmly but unquestioningly, "Catch up with the expedition and secretly assist your sisters." Make sure that this expedition is foolproof. ”

"Yes, Goddess." The blue-haired beauty saluted respectfully and watched the goddess of the hunt revert to the giant god.

"Whew-" Without the goddess present, Guardian A.I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He smiled at the blue-haired beauty instead, "Bluedam? Come, take a look at the gear I've built for you. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Just as the blue-haired royal sister named Brudam finished her final battle attire, the Hundred-Eyed Giant had already flown to the edge of the white line (light pipeline) controlled by Wu Chen.

Guarding the end of the White Line is a fortified war fortress. It's called Fort Candlelight.

In order to defend against the ubiquitous electronic ghosts that roam the dark pipeline, the fortress is not only equipped with a powerful energy hive and a newly modified gravity circulation shield, as well as thick alloy walls with electromagnetic shielding effect, but also the warriors on duty are also custom humans from the Seed Tower. The body is not loaded with any electronic devices and peripheral ports. It is a pure living organism.

Most of the equipment in Candlelight Fort is also mechanically driven and manually operated. As much as possible, the harm of electronic ghosts is eliminated.

"Your Excellency, be careful." Before leaving, the commander of the fortress admonished in a deep voice.

"Okay." The archbishop greeted with a smile. The wheeled gate rotates to open in front of the gate of the dark pipeline. The Hundred-Eyed Giant has flown into the gateway first, and has taken the opportunity to fly out of the fortress. Following the gap in the gravity flow that opened briefly, it flew towards the unknown dark pipeline.

Little is known about this abandoned pipeline. Except for ghost hunters and exorcists, few people are interested.

The nearest remnant settlement is said to be 300 kilometres away.

This was also a valuable message sent by the migrant fleet that arrived from the settlement on the day of the founding of the city. Before that, no one had gone 300 kilometers east into the dark pipeline. As the remnants of darkness have been instilled with deep memories from their infancy, it is the path of death to the gates of hell.

Never set foot in it.

In fact, the underground pipe network located on the North American continent is still far from the real gates of hell. It's just that the remnants of the apocalypse, who have lost the pre-apocalyptic human knowledge reserves, are very unfamiliar with the structure of the planet. The exact location of the Gates of Hell is unknown. However, for the remnants living in the pipeline, it is enough to know that the East cannot set foot in it.

The Cyclops is still sailing beneath the original North American continent. As they move farther and farther away from the white line, the risk increases, but the relatively weak electronic ghosts along the way, their first reaction to the ship is to flee. It's like a school of sardines that bumps into a whale, and the bees scatter in all directions.

Inside the half-view bridge, the three captains of the expedition were closely watching their surroundings. The Cloud Flash Priesthood, who is the main force of the exorcism, is sorting out their equipment in the lower cabin under the leadership of the chief priest Judith.

The Thunder Robe and the Demon Scepter are the standard equipment of the regimental priests. In addition to this, there are many auxiliary equipment. For example, Demon Shields, Demon Slayer Bombs, Demon Hunting Traps, Jetpacks, and so on.

There are a variety of options to choose from, depending on your personal preference.

Of course, some melee weapons are also available. For example, the Longinus Divine Spear held by the Goddess of Thunder, and the simplified replica of the halberd are quite popular melee weapons. Melee combat, mostly used against ghouls and robot golems. The only weapon that can completely dispel electronic ghosts is the magic scepter.

The Hundred-Eyed Giant, in a dead dark pipeline, silently passed.

The ship didn't turn on its lights. Or the bow of a ship wrapped in a thick shell, whether there is a light or not is a question. Of course, it doesn't matter if there are lights or not. The all-terrain radar cooperates with the powerful real-time computing capability of the shipborne host to display the surrounding situation on the holographic platform for the first time.

Compared with the white line controlled by Wu Chen, this black line, which no one cares about, maintains the original appearance after the end of the world to the greatest extent. Only the cross-sections of some metal strips inserted diagonally into the pipe can scan information that is relatively close to the existing point in time. Come to think of it, these are all the fractures left by the impact of the flying spacecraft.

This is also the purpose of wrapping the bow of the Cyclops with a layer of solid husk. These abandoned pipelines that no one cares about have a lot of obstacles inside. The solution is to use the bow of the ship, which is shrouded in gravity circulation, and crash headlong away.

Because it is not a direct collision between metal, there is no earth-shattering loud noise, and sparks splashing around with blind dogs' eyes. With the dull and short sound of metal deformation, the obstacles that blocked the way ahead would bend and collapse like noodles, revealing a passage that was passable enough. After the Cyclops, the inner wall of the pipe will appear as a fold of metal waste being squeezed by gravity. It is like a spring hose that is magnified many times and connected to the shower head.

In other words, as long as the Cyclops flies once, the next one will pass without obstacles.

After another flight, metal pipelines buried under the rubble of the pipes began to appear in large numbers.

These metal pipelines, built by pre-apocalyptic humans, are as neat as the dense and precise wiring on an integrated circuit board. Traveling back and forth in all directions of pipelines is far more complex than many people imagined. It's just as big as you can imagine.

"What kind of pipe is this?" Even Quintina, who is most familiar with underground pipe networks, has never seen anything like it.

What are these complex metal pipelines for?

Soon, a huge prehistoric ruin, gave the answer.

The building, which towers within a giant spherical shell and is raised high by vertical and horizontal metal pipes, is called: Gas Pumping Station.

That's right, it's an important life-sustaining facility that transports air to the underground network and regulates the carbon and oxygen balance.

To put it simply, the pumping station is designed to deliver fresh air to the network deep into the earth's core. In this way, the role of those metal pipelines extending in all directions is also very clear. They are the pipes for supply and exhaust.

Some of them are used to deliver fresh air to the underground network, while others are used to exhaust foul air.

In fact, the air composition of underground pipelines is very complex. Completely different from the air on the surface. For example, some pipelines that pass through granite will spill radon gas. This is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. In a similar situation, the harmful gases must be pumped out with the help of exhaust pipes.

This is also one of the functions of the air pumping station.

As a pre-apocalyptic human structure, the scale of the air pumping station is quite large.

It's like a giant centipede. And the stout insect feet are the vertical and horizontal exhaust pipes. Its complexity is no less than that of the veins that supply blood to the human body.

"Found it." The shipboard A.I. I-Russia enlarged one of the trachea. The metal pipes, which are lined with portholes, have apparently been artificially converted into residential areas.

"This is the remnant site?" The archbishop thought of the fleet of remnants that had arrived at the celebration of the founding day. It is said that they came from within this dark pipeline to the East.

"It should be here." I'o scanned a totem-like imprint on the pipeline, which was the symbol of the immigrant fleet that flew to the holy city of Zion on the day of the founding of the city.

A remnant totem made of sharp tooth marks and metal components, resembling a metal birdman.

The composition is too abstract, and Rao is shipboard A.I. Io does not find a connection with human history.

It was discovered that the gas pumping station, which had been abandoned after the war, had long since lost its proper function. Possible sensors show that the core still has energy.

The Hundred-Eyed slowed down and sailed into the shell. However, no communication feedback was received from the air pumping station.

For the structure of the air pumping station, please refer to the offshore drilling platform. The staggered platform room not only has a variety of fairly complete working and living areas, communication towers, but also a helipad. Instead of an air pumping station, a platform built on top of the vertical and horizontal pipes, there is also a small air port. The airport is filled with various types of pipeline ships, some of which have appeared in the holy city of Zion not long ago.

The tower remained silent, unresponsive to the Cyclops' request to enter the port.

"Activate the Lifeform Detection Radar." Quintina felt something strange.

"Yes." The gravitational circulation shield that surrounded the hull immediately flashed a gap. The radar wave came in an instant, sweeping the air pumping station through.

"No humanoid lifeforms found." Shipboard A.I Io said with certainty.

"Huh?" The archbishop frowned slightly: "Didn't they just return from Zion?" ”

"Are you going to land?" Io immediately asked.

"Alert landing." The archbishop quickly made up his mind.

"Yes." Io took control of the Hundred-Eyed Giant and slowly approached ......
