169 Intruders
"Please wait a moment, I'll lift the defense for the time being."
As the manager spoke, the eyeballs blocked in the round hole disappeared, and then, from the entrance to the round hole that led to the ground, a dazzling white light lit up.
"Please come in." The manager's voice came from below again, much softer than before, at least sounding like a person.
"Just walk in?" Zhang Luo looked at the pillar of light above the passage and asked.
"Yes." The manager was quick to give an affirmative answer.
Hearing this, Zhang Luo thought for a moment, and then strode into the pillar of light, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
When his vision lit up again, he found himself in a narrow underground passage.
Although there are no lamps installed on the stone wall, a light blue ball of light floating in the center of the passage still reflects the space around it.
Unlike the man-made buildings above, the stone walls here are not excavated by humans at a glance, but the strange shape, although it seems to be uncarved, is full of "nature's magic" when you look closely, and it must be Gaia's handiwork.
Turning around to confirm that the two teammates had also come in, Zhang Luo looked up at the blade-shaped boulder above the passage and asked, "Where is the Gaia engine?" ”
"Please follow me." From the front of the passage, a deep male voice was heard.
The three of them looked forward at the same time, and when they saw the appearance of the manager, they suddenly had a feeling of speechlessness and choking slowly came to their hearts:
- Although the voice belonged to the male, standing in front of him was a young woman with a nice figure and a long purple trench coat, who looked quite handsome.
"Your voice is seriously inconsistent with your appearance......" Zhang Luo said casually.
"Really? This is just one of the shapes I usually use, and the normal form is not easy to walk in the passage. The woman in the trench coat opened her small mouth with bright lip gloss and made a deep and powerful male voice: "There is also a muscular male form, do you need it?" ”
"That's still the case, don't change it anymore, thank you." Zhang Luo waved his hand.
Follow the humanoid manager through the eerie underground passages. Zhang Luo soon saw that a dark blue stone door with intricate patterns had appeared in front of the passage.
Unlike the protective door of the research institute, this stone door does not look very strong, and it may be smashed by Darov's punch, but it exudes a terrifying momentum.
It's hard to describe in words, but it can be summed up as "mysterious". Just looking at the intricate lines protruding from the stone door, you can hardly take your eyes off it, and you have the feeling that you want to look at it all the time.
However, this kind of thing that may make mortals "swoon" will not have much impact on Zhang Luo and others.
Seeing what the manager was fiddling with in front of the door, Zhang Luo turned around and smiled at the two behind him: "Do you want to change your shape, or change your personality or something later?" ”
"Die." Hasher answered his question with a raised middle finger.
Just as he was about to continue joking, Zhang Luo suddenly felt an abnormal atmosphere coming from behind the passage.
Realizing that his ghost premonition seemed to be in effect again, he finally became serious, and immediately reminded the two people standing behind him: "Someone is coming from behind." ”
Hearing this, Darov turned his head sharply, and immediately saw a familiar figure standing behind him.
At this time, the other three, including the manager, finally saw the appearance of that guy.
It was a man in a black leather jacket and camouflage trousers, with no skin on his face showing his skull. Zhang Luo and the others recognized at a glance that this person was the one who claimed to be the person in charge in the executioner's mercenary camp before-
"What's your name, Sulfuric Face?" Darov didn't remember the other party's code name for a moment.
"Skull Face." Zhang Luo smiled, then suddenly frowned slightly, and looked at the "mercenary" in front of him with a gloomy expression: "You are also a person from the primordial hell, right?" ”
- After going underground and seeing skinless creatures from the primordial hell, he also remembered this fellow skinless creature. But because this "skull face" was not very powerful, Zhang Luo didn't take this guy to heart at that time. But now......
"It's ...... Primordial Hell Superiors, be careful! The manager immediately shouted.
"I see, no wonder this thing keeps sending people in to send them to death, probably to weaken the city's defenses." Zhang Luo nodded.
Seeing that the skeleton face stepped forward without saying a word, Darov didn't say a word, activated the X-021 "Black Fire" power boxing gloves in his hand, and blasted out with a punch without any fancy punches.
"Bang!"
After the punch, the lower plate of the skull face was still solid, and his legs stood still, but the upper body was blasted backwards and disappeared into the deep darkness behind the passage.
Seeing that the other party was directly smashed in two by this punch, Darov didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but the unexpected situation suddenly happened:
The blood mist that suddenly erupted from above his legs quickly condensed into the new body of the skull face, and the skinless "man" grabbed Darov's arm sharply, and then threw it hard.
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, the skull face actually smashed the huge body wearing power armor directly into the rock wall next to it!
"I'll go, this regeneration ability is slightly stronger......" Zhang Luo looked at the opponent in front of him, and asked the manager behind him, "What's the matter with the superior?" ”
The administrator, who had been at war with the Primordial Hell for several years, was naturally familiar with the monsters from the Primordial Hell, and immediately explained: "The superior of the Primordial Hell has been cursed by the Blood Demon, and even if the body is damaged, it can be repaired immediately, unless their body or blood is completely vaporized. But ......"
"But you can't do it here, can you?" Zhang Luo looked at the rock wall beside him.
- If you use a large-caliber laser cannon or a powerful bomb, you can kill this monster to the ground, but then the narrow passage is likely to collapse and everyone will be buried alive.
As he spoke, Skeletal Face strode up to him and grabbed it with his right hand.
After seeing the strength of the other party, Zhang Luo knew that if he grabbed his body, he would be pinched and exploded 100%, so he immediately raised his left arm to block, but was grabbed by the opponent's iron pincer-like palm, and then twisted it hard!
"Click!"
After the crisp sound of fracture, Zhang Luo's left hand bent down in a strange direction, and the sharp pain of the fracture rushed along the nerve to the brain, causing him to stagnate, and he was directly "held" in his arms by the skull face!
"Be careful!" Hasher shouted. In the face of infernal creatures who were already in a state of death, her power of death was completely useless.
"Click!"
The bones in Zhang Luo's body immediately began to make ominous sounds, but when he came into close contact with the skeleton face, he still had a playful smile on his face:
"Want to experience your own poison?"
As he spoke, his right hand suddenly opened the storage space, took out the syringe that he had taken off the wrist ring before, and stabbed it on the waist of Skull Face, injecting the transparent liquid inside into Skull Face's body!
"Uh......"
At the same time as the venom was injected into the body, the skeletal face, which had been silent, let out a muffled snort, and its hands immediately lost their strength, and they covered their waists with great effort, and staggered back.
For this kind of guy who can regenerate through blood, the kind of drug that can react with blood removed from the wrist ring is undoubtedly the most effective!
"Smack!"
Within two steps, the skull-faced's body suddenly exploded and exploded into a brilliant blood flower.
"The Gaia engine can repair the arm, right?" Zhang Luo shook his drooping left hand, his "god-made body" has not yet reached the point where he can recover from fractures.
"Of course, this kind of injury can be recovered in an instant." The manager nodded. After making sure that the skull face had been hung up, he finally pushed open the dark blue stone door.
A faint blue light shot out from inside the door, and Darov, who had just come down from the wall, immediately widened in surprise when he saw the scene in front of him.
The room where the "Gaia Engine" is stored is a standard cube, which should be ten meters by ten meters by the eye.
On the walls of the cube room, there are countless gray stone gears, tightly snapped together, and are turning silently at high speed.
In the center of the room is a complex machine made entirely of rock, but countless times more sophisticated than human metal machinery.
The machine was shaped like some kind of operating table, with a pure black slate underneath, polished to a faint glow. Above is a cylindrical object made of gray rock that looks like a reactor protruding from the ceiling.
Strangely, the gray rock in which the cylinder was cast turned out to be translucent, with a dark red liquid flowing inside, more like lava than blood.
"This is the control end of the Gaia engine!" There was undisguised pride in the manager's voice.
"I know you're proud right now, but can you heal my hand first?" Zhang Luo said angrily.
