158 SCP-173
After letting out one last cry of despair, the brown-skinned headless giant fell to the ground with a thump, causing another small earthquake.
Then, this behemoth from hell, like the pitch-black soldier who committed suicide under Pandora's order just now, turned into an invisible black mist and was sucked back into the hell gate in the sky.
"Is it true that hellish creatures don't die?" Zhang Luo asked Pandora in his consciousness.
"Yes, master, the creatures in hell have no concept of death, and they will only be banished back to hell after death, but their power will be weakened a lot." Pandora replied immediately, still in her usual energetic and beautiful female voice.
Hearing the answer given by the "Hell Queen", Zhang Luo's curiosity flared up again, and he continued to ask, "Then what's the matter with you?" β
"I'm in a special situation...... Allow me to keep this a secret, master. Pandora, who had turned back into a black suitcase in his hand, was clearly reluctant to answer the question.
"Okay." Zhang Luo didn't plan to continue to ask about the privacy of a "lady" at all, after all, even he had secrets that had been kept unknown.
What's more, there's no time to care about these things now, because ......
ββ¦β¦β
The bald man across the street, who had quickly killed the giant, had already turned his head to look this way, casting a dangerous gaze.
Although the distance was very far, Zhang Luo could still see the scar on the other party's right eye and the red lines next to his left eye.
As if he had been coated with ashes, the man's skin was extraordinarily gray, and both his appearance and the weapon in his hand seemed to indicate that he was the real Kratos himself.
"This guy ......"
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the other party, Darov tightened his power armor gloves slightly. Even he, when facing the "God of War", there was an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
Then, under the gaze of the three of them, the bald man who had just brutally killed his opponent used the Chaos Blade to casually slit the throats of several infernal soldiers who pounced, and then turned around and left, disappearing into the ruins of the office building behind.
"It's good he didn't come, otherwise we'd all be finished." Seeing that the bald head had finally left, Hassin, who had returned to his human form, patted his chest with relief.
"Is that guy really Kratos? I don't think so. Zhang Luo shook his head.
"Who else but Kratos can use this method of fighting?" Hasher clearly disagreed.
Hearing the words of this divine reliant, Zhang Luo said in a deep voice: "You are just too nervous, think about it carefully, there is actually a big difference between that bald head just now and the real Kratos." β
"What's the difference?" Darov asked.
At this time, Hassiner finally reacted: "You mean he has no divinity at all?" β
"Yes, that's it." Zhang Luo nodded.
-- As God-based beings, it is impossible for him and Hasher to discern whether the other is a man or a god. To be precise, the divine reliant can feel the breath of God.
Even the nameless god who can be invited once for five dollars has an aura called "divinity". Divinity is difficult to describe in words, but it can make believers clearly aware that "I am the god you believe in, and I am here."
-- And just now, Zhang Luo didn't feel any divine existence from that "Kratos".
Kratos, who used to be the god of war, has no divinity at all, which is really unreasonable.
"But if that person isn't Kratos, who is it? Such a strong combat power...... "Darov knocked on the semicircular helmet of the power armor in annoyance.
Hearing this, Zhang Luo said his inference: "I think it is very likely that he is the 'God of War Improved'." β
With so little information at hand, he was not able to draw any conclusive conclusions. However, it seems to him that the group of Conquerors probably managed to make Kratos' replicants or something. It was then named "God of War Improved".
If that's the case, then the reason why that "Kratos" has no divinity at all is clear.
However, in a dangerous battlefield such as the city of Donrossk, it is really not suitable to study this kind of problem. Thinking of this, it was determined that the "Kratos" just now had left, and Zhang Luo also decisively turned around and moved in the direction of the city center:
"Go ahead, don't waste any more time."
With the death of the visitor to hell, the gates of hell in the sky began to slowly close, and the sky, which had turned into an eerie dark purple sky, finally began to return to its normal whiteness.
The exchange of fire between the heretical creatures in the city of Donrosk erupted again after a brief pause.
If it drags on any longer, when the battle in the city center heats up, it will obviously be more difficult to find the treasure again.
So now, Zhang Luo couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Standing in front of the bar's wooden back door, he paused for a moment, then kicked the door and flew out.
"Bang!"
The door panel was firmly pasted on a zombie standing not far from the door, and the zombie was blasted five meters away and fell to the ground, and the poor worm with a blue and white face had just pushed open the door panel on his body, and before he could stand up, he had already stepped on his head by Darov.
"Even this kind of scrap has been sent, and the new Ambrera is really hopeless." Zhang Luo smiled.
Although it can be regarded as a great threat to humans, in the battlefield of heretical creatures, zombies are obviously pure cannon fodder, and it is impossible to cause any harm to murderous monsters. Even the combat power of the Tyrant, a large biological weapon that Ambrera is proud of, is at best at the lower average level on this kind of battlefield.
"Well, just like in the desert, they're taking advantage of the war to dispose of discarded test specimens." There was a slight feeling of hatred in Hassin's voice: "The current new Ambrera is completely incomparable to the old one." β
Since there will be zombies here, it means that the new Ambrera company is also involved in the battle. However, in Zhang Luo's view, the company that focuses on biotechnology does not pose any threat at all. After all, even the strongest biological weapon in New Ambrera, the TANK that had been transformed by the C-virus and demon's blood, had been killed by Pandora in the desert.
"We're almost there." He said.
The trio made their way down the street behind the bar, taking out a few imbecile zombies along the way. At this time, they were less than two kilometers away from the square in the city center.
ββWhat is hidden in the center of the city?
Zhang Luo knew very well that no matter what was hidden in the city center, whether it was the legendary "world engine" or not, it was very likely to be the energy core of this city that would repair itself.
This kind of thing is undoubtedly priceless, and if obtained, it will certainly be of great use.
While thinking about the goal of this mission, Zhang Luo led his two teammates out of the street corner and quickly entered another street. Then he stopped again.
The street was flanked by ordinary three-story buildings that didn't look unusual, and the cars parked on the side of the street were intact, untouched by the war.
What is worrying is that there are nearly a hundred zombie corpses lying on the street, all of them look like they were killed by a blow, and the way of death is exactly the same, all of them have their heads twisted back in a half circle, even if their bodies are lying on the ground, they are still facing the sky.
"Isn't this going to be ......?"
Realizing that the situation was not good, Zhang Luo immediately quickened his pace, but it was too late!
With a strange "click", a concrete sculpture stepped out of an apartment across the street.
The thing had a round head, inlaid with several spherical objects that resembled eyes, and had short, stubby hands that looked a bit like dolls, and it looked cute, butβ
"Stare at him and don't blink!" Zhang Luo immediately ordered the two people beside him, and he stared at the concrete creature without blinking.
"It's really bad luck to come across this kind of thing." He sighed.
The guy you encountered this time is not necessarily the most dangerous, but if you don't handle it well, it will be a waste of time.
This is because this is another of the SCP Foundation's well-known containment objects: SCP-173.
When one looks at him, SCP-173 is just a cute statue in Zhang Luo's eyes. But as soon as no living creature is staring at him, even if it is less than a fraction of a second, SCP-173 will move at a hyper-velocity close to teleportation, breaking the necks of all living beings present! So now......
"You keep an eye on him, don't look anywhere else, I'll go find something to control him." Zhang Luo said in a low voice.
