304 The Hermit's Room
The smell of barbecue filled the hallway, and the scarlet chariot stopped motionless.
I thought that the biological chariot was dead, but what happened next surprised Zhang Luo a little.
"Whoa......
An indescribable sound of flesh growth sounded, and on the half-blown corpse, bright red flesh grew, but the original body did not recover, but turned into a red monster with a big head shaped like a lizard, and strong upper arms with four limbs behind it.
"Damn, is this the G virus......" Zhang Luo scolded.
Normally, tyrants are supposed to be the product of the T-virus, but the thing that has emerged now is clearly caused by the G-virus, which can cause high-speed genetic mutations.
Monsters infected with the G virus can evolve almost infinitely, and unless they are completely blasted to the point that there is no scum left, there is a possibility of regeneration!
Even though you can kill the carriers of the G virus by using weapons such as white phosphorus bombs, you can be affected even by using dangerous incendiary bombs in this kind of channel, so now-
"So I said it all...... This thing can evolve all the time. Vilf looked at the regenerating "chariot", and his voice smacked of frustration: "Last time I had a hard time getting rid of him. ”
"It's okay."
Zhang Luo said and strode forward, took out his "copycat version of the Enma Knife", pressed his left hand on the pitch-black scabbard, and suddenly drew the knife without warning, swinging out a sharp silver light!
Click!
With his previous experience in using the "Dimensional Slash", this time he is much more proficient in drawing his sword, and compared to his previous informal appearance, he already has a bit of a samurai style.
The crisp sound of space shattering and the howl of monsters sounded at the same time, and the outer armor of the tank chassis under the tank was obviously unable to resist the slash that could cut through the space. A large hole opened suddenly, but instead of catching fire, scarlet blood erupted.
While the chariot was suffering heavy damage, Zhang Luo swung his knife again to cut through the armor of the chassis, looking relaxed as if he was playing fruit ninja. He then stood in front of the vehicle and looked at the hidden sight beneath the armor.
Haven't seen anything yet. Zhang Luo, who had already been sprayed with blood, but had used domain control, had accurately seen the existence of the core:
"I took the virus."
Lying in front of the chariot, he reached out and pulled out a metal syringe the thickness of an ordinary person's forearm from the bloody wreckage, Zhang Luo put the syringe into the storage space and threw it together with the "black light virus" he had kept. Then he looked back at Velf and smiled, "Shall we go?" ”
"You kid has a lot of mess......" Velve stared at him with a frown, then turned his gaze to the chariot behind which was still howling, and asked, "Won't he catch up?" ”
"I ruined the engine. This thing didn't even have legs, so it had to protest in place. Zhang Luo said nonchalantly, without even looking back.
It is precisely because of the instability and uncontrollability of evolution that the G virus has become a failed product of Ambrera. The upper body of this chariot has evolved into a form with super attack power, but unfortunately it lacks the legs, which are the key items for movement, so if you want to catch up, you have to crawl on the ground......
Realizing that it was impossible for the chariot to catch up, the code name was Villeff of the "Demon" in the tarot. He didn't pay attention to the muscular monster, but just followed Zhang Luo and continued to move forward. Walk to the other side of the channel.
Unlike the passages in other parts of the catacombs, this passage is not only much wider, but also much longer. They walked for a full twenty minutes before a bronze wall appeared in front of them, and a small door embedded in the wall.
Obviously, if this place is the same as they predicted. If it is the hideout of the "Hermit", then you should be able to see the mysterious Hermit by passing through that door. However, it is obviously not so easy to open that door.
Werf stood in front of the door first. Twisting the spherical metal handle, he turned around and said, "It's locked." ”
Hearing this, after a short battle just now, Zhang Luo, who had become a "blood man", stepped forward, knocked on the door very politely, and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?" ”
After waiting for two minutes and getting no answer, Zhang Luo sighed, motioned to Ville in front of the door to get out of the way, and then stood in front of the door, turned on his "domain control", and opened the iron door that was not locked from the inside.
Although the same effect can be achieved by using the "physical door opening method" with a simple and rough kick, when visiting someone, kicking the door of the other person's house directly will undoubtedly leave a bad impression on the other person.
Noticing that Zhang Luo was different from before, Villeff asked, "Are you afraid of him?" ”
"No, no, no, I respect him." Zhang Luo said that he had already walked into the house, looked at the scene in front of him, and asked, "Someone ...... it?"
This time, he stopped halfway through his words.
Unlike the ruins of an ancient civilization in the passage outside, the room was lit up with a faint blue light that was common in science fiction movies, reflecting a cylindrical machine behind it.
To describe it simply, the machine was shaped like "a glass tube stuck in a black box". Of course, that glass tube is much thicker than a normal test tube, and the metal machinery underneath is extremely complex.
This machine exudes a smell of super technology, which is not at all like something that ordinary people can access, but despite this, Zhang Luo, who has never seen this thing, immediately called out its name:
"Brain in a Jar ......"
-- Nestled in a cylindrical glass tube above the machine is a brain soaked in a transparent liquid, filled with silver metal tubes that appear to be electrodes, and rubber wires with black shells.
When Zhang Luo's voice was heard, a green indicator light lit up on the mechanical shell directly below the glass tube, and an electronically synthesized female voice sounded:
"Yes, that's one of my names, sir."
"You're the Hermit?" Velf's expression was very surprised, she obviously didn't expect the "hermit" to be such a thing.
"Yes, ma'am. I am the Tarot Grand Arcana Number 9 - the Hermit. The machine that stored the brain replied quickly, and then explained in passing: "Don't worry, I'm not aggressive, I chose to live here permanently." ”
"Are you doing research here?" Zhang Luo looked around curiously, looking at the situation in the rest of the room.
Probably because there is no need for furniture, the layout is very simple, except for the gray walls on all sides and the simple chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"Yes, I'm doing research."
As the machine answered, it suddenly turned on a red light and continued in an unchanged tone: "I found that a dangerous character was approaching in the passage, and began to deal with it." ”
At the same time, a dazzling red light erupted from the doorway behind Zhang Luo and Ville, and after a faint scream, the world was silent.
"Processing complete." The machine said. (To be continued.) )
