Chapter 117: The Law of Plants

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yesterday, the League's Deputy Foreign Minister Robertson. Jones announced his resignation due to health problems, and President Harold approved his resignation after a closed-door meeting, but there is evidence that the reason for the resignation of Deputy Secretary Jones was due to the total defeat of the League in Buenos Aires. It is well known that the Coalition's humanitarian relief operation in Buenos Aires was carried out under the strong auspices of Deputy Secretary Jones, but it is clear that this plan has completely collapsed. Alliance Weekend quoted an unnamed leftist MP as saying: 'Before those guys become people, they are enemies!' ’……”

"Dripβ€”"

Just as Ling Yu and Jiesi were in deep danger, at the other end of the abandoned spaceship's central area, an airlock was opened by a figure wearing a red and black spacesuit.

The man in the spacesuit didn't open the gravity boots, and used a similar movement to Jeunse's to pull the frame of the internal airlock and float into the interior of the ship.

The man floated to a blue-lit platform, then removed the glove of his left hand and pressed his palm against the platformβ€”and on the back of his hand, there was a pattern that was completely different from Ling Yu's, but very similar.

"Welcome, Navigator."

Avina's translucent figure appeared in the air, and the man in the red-and-black spacesuit just nodded, then made a gesture to turn off the artificial intelligence, and then tapped a few times on the projection keyboard.

"That guy's growth rate...... It's amazing. ”

An exclamation came from the fully enclosed helmet, and the man shook his head. Stretched out his hand, he was about to turn off the terminal, but he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then clicked a few buttons to bring up a row of exhaust brake opening and closing records.

"Isn't it a delusion? Anyone else coming up? The man muttered to himself in a low voice, but immediately a wry smile came from behind the helmet, "Heh, Airlock 3328?" These two little ones are really out of luck...... This should be...... That guy's predation area. ”

"Anyway...... It's a shame to die here," the man in the red and black spacesuit was silent for a moment, then raised his head. New directives were issued. "Avina, can you turn on the main fan in Warehouse 17 in GDF from here?"

"Okay, Navigator, can you open it now?" Avina appeared out of thin air again.

"Hmm. I think there was an emergency ventilation mode. The man nodded. An inquiry was made. "It is to discard the protective cover and directly use the fan for large-scale ventilation operation."

"Emergency ventilation mode available, Navigator." Avina answered in the affirmative first. But then a warning was made, "Warning, detected the target area memory zΓ i earth life signal response, emergency ventilation mode may cause unnecessary casualties, are you sure to turn it on?" ”

"Let's turn it on, it's up to those two little mice to survive." The red and black man confirmed his command, then picked up the left glove placed on the control table and put it on his palm, "I have other things to do." ”

Avina's body flashed a few blue-green flashes of light, and then disappeared into midair, and under the pale green light, the wrist of the red and black man's spacesuit quickly closed, obscuring a terrifying scar.

"Damn it!"

Ling Yu rolled over and dodged a needle prick made of three plant tentacles, and then kicked his feet, and the soles of the gravity boots spewed out a stream of air, and the young man flicked his backhand, and the dagger that was heated to the limit of three thousand degrees directly cut off the needle piercing about half a meter thick.

However, the severed tentacle instantly spewed out a large amount of juice, and although Ling Yu flipped backwards and dodged most of the spherical juice sideways in the gravityless environment, when a small amount of juice hit his spacesuit, wisps of white smoke still came out.

"No, boss, the sap of plants will produce highly toxic gases when it comes into contact with the air!!"

As soon as Ling Yu turned around, in the green field of vision under the night vision function, the electric heating knife in Jiesi's right hand also cut a relatively thin tentacle, but the juice splashed on her genuine metal arm, but nothing happened.

"Not only is it toxic, but it's also highly corrosive, so it looks like a digestive juice." Ling Yu rolled over to dodge the thrust of the other tentacle, he shook his teeth and turned his head to look at Jiesi, "The body is too heavy!" Is there a way to destroy the bulkheads?! ”

"I'll give it a try!"

Jiesi instantly understood what Ling Yu meant: the problem was the air, the propellant in the gravity boots was far better in a vacuum than in the air, and if the already small thrust still needed to overcome the air resistance, it would be a bit stretched.

Jesse turned to one side, flashed a new needle prick, then kicked her feet on the hard needle prick, and slammed her right hand into the bulkhead where the two had entered.

Black juice gushed out with the vibration of the space, enveloping the girl's mechanical right hand, but it was not able to corrode the original prehistoric civilization mechanical arm, but some dots of liquid left a corroded white on the girl's armored helmet.

"No, boss, these plants can freely change their hardness, and kinetic attacks have no effect!"

"I'll try!"

Ling Yu learned to avoid the needle prick, and then stepped on the tentacle and rushed towards Jiesi, the young man in black stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiesi's outstretched wrist, and then the two of them shook each other, and at the moment of completing the transposition, they avoided a needle prick at high speed at the same time.

"Tsk...... If only the mystery were there. Ling Yu flicked his right hand, and the shimmering dagger slammed into the wall again with high eagerness.

It seemed to be consciously jealous of the dagger in Ling Yu's hand, and as soon as the high temperature approached, the tentacles covering the wall quickly faded towards the surroundings like a tide.

However, Ling Yu's dagger failed to pierce the bulkhead, and although the high temperature instantly melted a large area, at the same time as the metal broke, a black liquid quickly covered the hole in the wall, and then hardened.

"Damn! This creature ......" Ling Yu didn't dare to fight, and his left hand leaned against the wall before it was covered with black liquid. Let your body float back into the warehouse.

"This should be this guy's predator!" Ling Yu floated backwards, jetting to change orbit at the moment before being stabbed, glancing at the helmet, the propellant had been reduced to less than half, and the young man turned around and stepped on the tentacle needle prick, floating towards the middle of the warehouse where Jiesi was.

"If this continues, the space we can maneuver will become smaller and smaller, and when the space is filled with these tentacles, we will not be able to dodge." Because one more arm could directly touch the juice of these plants, Jiesi's situation was a little better than Ling Yu's, but because her movements were not as agile as Ling Yu's. Perception is also much worse. The girl can only rely on the helmet's tips to dodge the plant's attacks.

"It's not a hundred thousand whys, but why doesn't it just fill the entire space with this damn tentacle?"

"Because every shot consumes energy, and any bit of biological energy in the universe is precious and cannot be wasted."

The two of them completed a 100,000 whys Q&A. Then tacitly pushed each other again to dodge the attack.

"Anyway. Doesn't this warehouse have a structural weak point?! vents. Ventilation fans, this is used to store organic matter! Then there should be these things, right? ”

Ling Yu struggled to calm himself down and find a countermeasure, but Jiesi, who was dodging the attack with a jet, had already opened the mechanical arm. Ling Yu could even imagine that the mechanical eye behind the girl's armored helmet had already begun to move rapidly.

"Most of the detection methods have failed, but the miniature sonar still works...... This warehouse should have an array of exhaust fans, but it is buried under a thick plant wall, and the reaction is very weak, and there is no control mechanism to be found! ”

Flames flashed from Ling Yu's feet, and the black-clothed youth pounced on the girl who was concentrating on scanning, leading her to dodge an attack - as expected, the space to dodge was getting smaller and smaller.

"Can't you control it remotely?!"

"No, the Avina subprogram in this area is not online!"

Hearing Jiesi's answer, Ling Yu gritted his teeth, the good news was that there were now more and more tentacles as thick as small trees inserted in the space, and Ling Yu jumped and turned between these branches to minimize the consumption of propellant; The bad news, however, is that it seems that the plant has also sensed the trickiness of its prey this time, significantly speeding up the speed and density of its attacks.

"There's no way, that's the only way!"

Ling Yu took a deep breath, "I'll sprint with all my might, use the Mystery Dagger to temporarily force those plants back, and then you make up for the attack!" Fight to smash an exit! ”

"Okay!"

Without hesitation, Ling Yu stepped on the branches and launched another assault in the direction of the airlock!

As expected, the high temperature of the Mystery Dagger forced away the plants, but at the moment when Ling Yu turned over and gave up the attack space, a mutation suddenly appeared!

Those plants that were originally dispersed by the heat returned to their original positions at a speed that was almost with afterimages, so that Jiesi's fist in the high-speed impact smashed directly into the plants!

"Didn't you give your all out just now?!" Ling Yu gritted his teeth, according to his estimate, the time for the plants to cover the wall would definitely not be so fast.

"No, it should be said that it is a strong self-learning ability!" Jessy's voice also smelled of gnashing of teeth, and the corrosive liquid splashed from her punch with all her strength splashed on her armored helmet, corroding a large piece of the armor layer that could withstand the attack of the pistol, revealing the glass mask behind it, and behind the mask happened to be a dull mechanical eyeball, which made the girl knight look very hideous, "It's not too surprising ability." ”

"Let's think about our own lives first!" Ling Yu glanced at the warehouse, the originally empty space was already filled with dense needles like a forest, the young man gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and gave a countermeasure.

"One more time, Jesus," Ling Yu replaced the battery of the dagger that was already glowing red due to lack of power, "this time you go with me, if we can't do it again, we'll just teleport back!" ”

"Okay!"

Jiesi nodded, but at this moment, the girl was scratched by a needle puncture on the left side of the spacesuit, although it was only a small opening of more than ten centimeters, and the sealing liquid also repaired the wound instantly, but it proved that the density of the needle prick had exceeded the critical point of Jiesi's reaction!

"Ready!" Ling Yu reached out and cut off a needle prick that he couldn't dodge, and then used the heat to ignite all the liquid that flew out - poison gas was no longer a factor to consider, and this plant should not give itself a chance to run out of oxygen.

Then, Ling Yu directly turned on the spray of the gravity boots.

"Alright! Damn it! That's not the end of it!! Jess shouted angrily, and then adjusted the angle, not only stepping on the plant to exert force, but also directly opening the gravity boot's spray to the maximum!

"Wait! Boss! ”

However, just as Jessie started the jet, a sudden command signal made her stunned for a moment!

"How-"

"Boom-"

Before Ling Yu could ask why, a violent explosion came from behind the young man! Then there is the huge pulling force brought by the rapid flow of air!

"Damn! What's going on! ”

Ling Yu had already experienced too many accidents today, the high-intensity reflex nerve made him turn the dagger's forehand into a backhand at the moment he was pulled, and inserted it into a branch next to him, although the sharp dagger only stayed on the branch for a moment, but it slowed down the speed of being sucked away, allowing Jiesi to have time to insert his five fingers deeply into the plant.

"The walls of the room have exploded and are losing pressure!" Jiesi pulled Ling Yu's arm with her left hand, and inserted her right hand deep into the plant, but she still stubbornly used her left eye to analyze, "It's not an accident, I'm sure that a moment before the explosion, there was an electronic signal coming in. ”

"I can't take care of this! Teleport now! ”

Ling Yu struggled to climb up to the trunk of the tree where Jiesi was, then turned his head to look at the place where the warehouse had been blown open - a huge exhaust fan was spinning at high speed due to the loss of air.

I said...... This plant ...... It seems to be withering at a very fast rate......"

Jiesi's voice came from the helmet, and Ling Yu's heart sank.

Before he could activate the lines on his hand, Ling Yu, Jiesi, and the trunk formed by the tentacles where they were all sucked into the rapidly rotating exhaust fan. (To be continued......)
