Chapter 399: The Last Step
Turtledove didn't even remember how he escaped from the quarantine all the way back to the maintenance workshop with the worm, he was already injured a lot, and he never had time to stop the bleeding from the wound on his left shoulder, and the more the blood flowed, the more the turtledove's consciousness became more and more blurred.
But the turtledove didn't dare to stop for a moment, because he could always hear the roars of the test subjects behind him, and then the turtledove's eyes began to turn black for a while, and he was a little unsure whether those roars were real or his own hallucinations.
Turtledove used all his strength to feed, he escaped from the quarantine area completely by memory, and when he finally returned to the maintenance workshop, Turtledove's whole body was stained red by his own blood, like a blood gourd.
It was vaguely as if he had seen Sonny from afar, and the turtledove, which could no longer support it, fell to the ground with a "poof" and passed out.
……
By the time the turtledove woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed, but he saw the turtledove's upper and lower eyelids move twice, and then he slowly opened his eyes, his vision was still blurred, and the first thing the turtledove noticed was the noise around him.
"Zizizi...... Buzz ......"
It was as if there were countless machines running at the same time, making people's eardrums tremble.
The unknown turtledove struggled to get up, but the sharp pain in his left arm made him can't help baring his teeth, and looked down at his shoulder, and found that his wound had been treated, but the bleeding was very serious, and the bandages used to bandage were completely soaked with blood, but fortunately, the bleeding finally stopped.
Looking to the side, the turtledove saw the little worm lying beside her, the little worm's eyes were tightly closed, and her face was painful, it seemed that even if she was in a coma, the little worm was still suffering, although the external injuries on her body had also been treated, but the turtledove was most at ease with the internal injuries of the small worm.
Eating a shock wave from the front, the turtledove used his toes to know how serious the internal injury of the insect was, but the turtledove saw that the insect was pale, but his breathing was still steady, and the stone in his heart was slightly lowered.
After carefully checking the condition of the worm again, and after confirming that the worm was indeed fine, the turtledove breathed a sigh of relief, and he raised his eyes to look around, just in time to see Sonny walking towards him.
"You're awake."
Sonny's tone still makes no emotion audible, but it's a normal thing, who called Sonny a robot and not a real human.
……
Turtledove told Sonny about what happened when he and the worm went to the quarantine area, in fact, judging from their embarrassed appearance, Sonny had already guessed that their actions were not going well, so when he heard Turtledove say that the mission had failed and the controller was still alive, he didn't show too much surprise.
"It's a bit of a trick now."
Sonny said honestly to the turtledove, because the situation here is not very good.
Under the control of the controller, almost all the test subjects in the entire underground research institute are approaching the central area, and as for the test subjects who were originally here in the central area, they are trying to break through the blockade that the worm has placed before entering the research center.
There were so many subjects that it was impossible for a sliding door to hold them back for too long.
Therefore, Sunny led all kinds of robots to stop the test subjects who tried to break into the research center, because the difference in numbers between the two sides was too big, if the robots had not occupied the favorable terrain in advance, I am afraid that even a charge of the test subject army would not be able to stop.
Thankfully, the robots were able to withstand the pressure and hold on to the main entrances to the research center, keeping the large groups of test subjects out of the research center, otherwise there would have been no room for maneuver once the creatures were allowed to join the master.
It's just that the robots are guarding, but it is difficult to be abnormal, how long has passed, many robots have been damaged in the battle in one way or another, and now the movement in the maintenance workshop is the sound of the maintenance robot in the repair of the damaged explosion-proof robot.
Listening to this movement, Ikaruga knew that the losses of the explosion-proof robots were indeed quite serious, and if it continued like this, he didn't know how long they would be able to hold off the army of test subjects.
……
"There's no way out," Sonny sat down beside Turtledove very humanely, looking at Turtledove, "I was thinking if I could end this while preserving the underground research institute, but now it seems that it is basically an impossible thing to do." ”
Sonny was telling the truth, although the turtledove and the worm managed to infiltrate the quarantine area, they were not able to shut down the life support facilities of the controller, and on the other hand, the explosion-proof robots were almost unable to withstand the attack of the army of test subjects, and no matter what the point of view, the balance of victory had completely tilted in favor of the controller who tried to leave the underground research institute.
However, Turtledove seemed to have other meanings in Sonny's words.
"As a member of the robots in the underground research institute, my responsibility and that of the other robots are to ensure the safety of the research institute, and they will not take the last step unless they have to, but other things are not so important compared to letting the controller leave the underground research institute."
"So, now there's only one way left."
As he spoke, Sonny took a chip from his body, the same one he had given to the worm.
Sunny put the chip in Turtledove's hand and asked Turtledove to put it away, and then said to Turtledove: "You take this chip and go to the general control room again, enter the verification code of '9527' three times in a row, and then the underground research institute will start the self-destruction procedure." ”
"Self-destructing program?"
Kadove kind of understood what Sonny was trying to do.
"That's right," Sonny nodded, "we can't stop the controller anymore, and the only way to keep the controller here is to use the self-destruction of the underground research institute, and there will be no explosion or anything, but the research institute will be completely closed, turning into an airtight iron lump, and sinking deeper underground along the pre-laid slides, never to be reopened." ”
"Don't look at me with this expression, before you and the worm deliberately used the escape capsule to leave here, don't worry, you two won't be trapped here."
……
The turtledove was about to say something more, and suddenly a roar of beasts resounded throughout the maintenance workshop, and it turned out that the explosion-proof robots on the front line could not withstand the impact of the army of test subjects, and they broke through the wall and broke into the research center.
"Get out of here with the worms."
Sonny helped the turtledove pick up the worm and gently nudged it, Sonny waved at the turtledove, then held the tranquilizer gun and turned to deal with the test subjects who had broken into the research center.
