Chapter 261: Hunter in the Dark

"What's going on?"

The little worm whispered to herself in confusion, her face full of doubts,

Although the turtledove didn't see clearly what happened in the darkness just now, the little insect hiding next to her saw it really, and she didn't pay much attention to the shadow sticking out of the ceiling at first, and patronized to see the eight simulated robots lined up.

It wasn't until the simulated robot at the very edge of them suddenly disappeared that the worm shifted his attention slightly, catching a glimpse of the last moment before the simulated robot vanished.

The simulated robot didn't disappear into thin air, it was captured by something.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing that the little insect was staring motionlessly ahead, the turtledove put his head to the side of the little worm's face, and asked her in a low voice what she was looking at, and the little worm glanced at the turtledove with disgust, and said:

"I like to ask so many questions because I don't have good eyes."

The turtledove, which had eaten the worm, had to retract its head stupidly, but listened to the worm continue:

"If you count carefully, there are a few simulated robots in overalls in front of us."

"Do you still need to count?" The turtledove couldn't help but wonder if the little worm was questioning his IQ, "Although I can't see it clearly, I do remember it, from just now, there are a total of eight simulated robots chasing us, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... Ay? Why does it seem like one is missing? ”

Not only did the turtle doves and insects here notice that something was wrong, but the remaining seven simulated robots over there also noticed that a companion was missing, and they shook their heads to look around, but they didn't find the missing companion around.

So the seven simulated robots were back to back, no longer carpeting forward, in this case, they chose to huddle together to deal with the unseen, terrifying enemy in the darkness.

……

As the minutes passed, the simulated robots that entered the iron gate marked "Zero" after chasing turtledoves and insects were trapped here by an unknown existence, and the other two young people who were in a similar situation to them had to hide in the corner, not daring to move.

Maybe it's because the simulated robots are huddled, or maybe the invisible hunter didn't notice the turtledove and the little insect in the corner, in short, everything is back to calm, but no matter whether the simulated robot or the turtledove and the small worm, everyone doesn't dare to slack off, so as not to become the next prey.

"What shall we do?"

It was the turtledove who asked this.

"What else can I do," the worm said, looking at his surroundings, "of course I'm staying here honestly, and I'll see if you understand it, so don't talk yet." ”

According to the Worm's observations, she noticed that the hunter who had captured the robot earlier was hiding in the darkness above, and the Worm's eyes had strong night vision, so she could see clearly what was above the crowd, and the answer was nothing.

The mottled ceiling was riddled with holes, and there was nothing on it that deserved the insect's closer inspection, except for a black hole where it should have been a ventilation duct, but the iron mesh used to seal it was gone, and the vents about the size of the water tank suddenly opened.

The little worm stared intently at the vent for more than ten seconds, and suddenly noticed that something shiny was dripping from it.

"That's ...... What seems to be mucus secreted by something? ”

True to the special ability known as "Eagle Eye", the darkness did not affect the vastness of the insect's field of vision, and she clearly saw a trace of slime dripping from the vent, and it was still dangling there several times, looking sticky.

It seems that something is hidden in the ventilation duct, waiting for an opportunity to catch the prey, as for what the prey is, is there much to say, of course, it is the remaining few simulated robots and the turtle dove and the small worm, the two big living people.

The taste of the simulated robots is not very good, after all, they are just lumps of iron pimples, so the little insect estimates that it will not be long before the hunter hiding in the ventilation duct will pay attention to himself and the turtledove.

The worm looked up and observed the ceiling on his side, but fortunately, in the whole room, there were only two vents at the entrance and above the heads of the simulated robots, and there was also a vent that was too far away from this side to be considered for the time being.

"Let's hide inside."

Touching the turtledove with her elbow, the little insect slowly moved to the corner of the wall in a squatting position on the ground twice, and the turtledove saw her movements, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she stuffed her head and hid deeper in the corner with the little worm.

After a long confrontation, the seven simulated robots, after repeatedly assessing the situation they might face, finally chose to give up the pursuit of the turtledove and the small worm, they were back to back, slowly retreating in the direction of the entrance, they should be leaving.

Suddenly, a dark shadow came down from the vent that the worm had just seen, as fast as lightning.

Before it could react, a simulated robot just below the vent was swept up by a black shadow sticking down from above, and it was lifted into the vent without pause, and then there was no movement.

As a result, the remaining six simulated robots did not dare to move anymore, and they stood silently in place, not knowing what was going on in their mechanical brains.

……

"Oh my God, what the hell is that?"

Ikaruga was stunned by the sight in front of him, he naturally knew better than anyone how difficult those simulated robots were, but what made Turtledove unimagined was how such a powerful simulated robot was gone so suddenly, what was the thing that grabbed it into the ventilation duct?

"Do you see what that is?" The turtledove's voice trembled a little, "This zero test site is really not good, in my opinion...... Otherwise, let's find another way. ”

In the short time that the turtle dove was talking to the little worm, the simulated robots had all been wiped out.

Suddenly, another black shadow stretched out from the ventilation duct, and once again rolled up a simulated robot with lightning speed, but this time, the trapped simulated robot made a counterattack, - it grabbed the black shadow that was rolling around itself with both hands, trying to fight with it.

Unfortunately, this is of no avail.

No matter how hard the simulated robot was entangled, it could not get rid of the black shadow's entanglement with it, and the two sides were deadlocked for not even a few seconds, and then it ended with the complete defeat of the simulated robot, and its metal body was also involved in the ventilation duct, the same fate as the previous two simulated robots, - no more movement came.
