102 Warrior Test
The old man led Link slowly down a metallic passage with muzzles on the walls. The muzzle of the gun was dark black and shone with an icy cold light. Although he didn't know the power of these weapons, Link's sharp instincts told Link that if they were to tear his body apart, it would be absolutely easy to do.
These weapons are definitely not those machine guns and the like before the apocalypse, although Lin has lost the power in the virtual world, this clone still has more power than ordinary people, although ordinary machine guns can also kill Link, but it will not give Link such a terrifying feeling, it seems that it only takes a moment for him to be torn into ashes by these cold weapons.
Although Link still wanted to observe the weapons installed in the metal tunnel, the old man did not give Link this opportunity. The old man hurriedly took Link's hand and took Link out of the metal passage and into a room full of mechanical devices and full of sci-fi flavors.
There were only three people in the room, each of whom operated a mechanism the size of a two-story building. The three of them were very attentive to the control of the machine, and even when they noticed the arrival of the old man and Link, they did not look back, let alone say hello to the two of them.
"Leave them alone, they're patrolling the entire surface of the planet, and their job is important, and they won't pay attention to you." Seeing Link stop and look at the three people who were controlling the huge machine, the old man hurriedly spoke.
"Safe to patrol the Earth's surface? Are these things able to observe the entire surface of the Earth? "Hear the old man's words. Link was amazed. Although the machinery in front of them is huge, there is no display screen, so where did these three people see the earth from the scene?
"Virtual imaging. You don't understand, you just need to know what they're doing. The old man smiled and replied, and then urged Link, "Okay, we're going to hurry." I'm going to register your identity and give you a warrior level test. After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Link to speak, and immediately reached out and pulled Link towards the metal gate on the right.
Obviously, the underground base of human beings is very complicated now, and it has been carried by the old man from the beginning. Link had already made his way through thirteen metal passages. And humans seem to be defending against something, with countless weapons in each metal tunnel that scare Link.
When the old man led Link through the fifteenth passage. The two finally arrived at their destination. It was an empty hall, with nothing but a metal object in the center of the hall that resembled a reception desk. Inside the reception desk stood a strange-looking creature, let's call it a creature, because no matter how you look at it. Link felt that the guy in front of him was not human at all.
After all, Link had never seen a human with a tail and a wolfdog-like face, and the limbs of this 'human' seemed to be robotic hands and feet made of alloy.
"This is a cyborg, a creature made of some dead human parts and some mutated beasts, plus some machines, and is the most basic service unit in the human base now. They have no mind of their own at all, they only obey the orders of humans, and they are not a member of the human race at all. Seeing Link's surprised gaze, the old man hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to Link.
"Since it's the lowest unit. Why would he be asked to do such an important thing as reception? Before entering, the old man had already told Link what Link was going to face next, that is, to register his identity with the receptionist, and to draw the test he was going to face in the receptionist's hand. Passed the test. If you don't pass, you can only become a reserve person who is one level lower than the warrior. When the human base thinks that Link is OK and can take on the task of fighting, Link will be able to become a human warrior.
The selection of a new human warrior is a very important matter, and Link can't figure out how such an important thing would be handed over to a cyborg. Aren't you afraid that the other party will mess up?
"It's because of his low status and the fact that he doesn't think about himself at all. That's why he was the receptionist. Because this is the only way to guarantee maximum fairness. Speaking of this, the old man suddenly lowered his voice, and said with a sneer: "Although human beings are close to extinction, some of the bad habits of human beings have not been changed. You must know that in addition to those of you who have come out of the virtual world, there are also quite a few humans born in the base. These humans are very poor in terms of fighting quality, and even your worst people are countless times better than them, after all, you people have all died once, and you have all experienced the baptism of the apocalypse. And these people also need to go through the warrior assessment, and if they can't pass it, they are no different from you. Therefore, the elders of these people always try to find a way to get these people through, after all, the treatment of human warriors is much better than that of the reserves, so in desperation, the base can only choose cyborgs without self-thinking as receptionists. Because cyborgs don't have thinking, they won't give anyone face, so they can avoid these people from taking advantage of loopholes to the greatest extent. ”
"I see." Hearing the old man's explanation, Link nodded silently. The mood suddenly became a little unhappy, human beings are really a strange creature, they have come to this point, and the badness of human beings has not changed in the slightest. Thinking of this, Link suddenly thought that he would meet some kind of idiot survivor here, and then the two clashed, and then ...... All right! The more I think about it, the more bloody it becomes, but Link also has to beware of such a thing in advance, after all, no one is sure that it will not happen.
The old man brought Link to the reception desk, and the receiving cyborg immediately raised his wolfdog-like head, and his eyes emitted a strange red light, forming two rays of light that slowly swept over Link and the old man's bodies.
"Bootstrap 100, a human clone. Welcome newcomers to the last survival base of mankind, and hope that you can bring hope to mankind. A cold, mechanical, emotionless voice rang out from the cyborg's mouth.
"I've handed it over to you, and it's time for me to leave." The old man looked up at the cyborg and said, then turned to Link and ordered, "You can do what it tells you to do, and you must be cautious in the first test." You have to remember that you only have three chances, and if you fail, then you will have to wait another ten years. ”
After speaking, the old man didn't give Link a chance to speak, turned around and quickly disappeared into the hall, the speed made Link marvel, as if he was teleporting, and disappeared from Link's field of vision in an instant. Obviously, the old man is not as strong as he appears on the surface.
In this way, it seems that the power possessed by human beings now is very powerful, and even a guide is so terrifying. (To be continued)
