Chapter 768: One, Two, Three, Wooden Man?
"These are ......," Hamilton said, with a rare look of astonishment.
Obviously, he did not know the identities of the three 'rescuers'.
Fortunately, this doubt did not last long, and soon, someone exclaimed and gave an answer:
"Fruiting body! They are the fruiting body of Marshal Zhao! β
Almost at the moment when the exclamation came out, there was a noise in the crowd gathered around themβ
"It's really Marshal Zhao's fruiting body, but how could three come out at once?"
"In the past, even if there was a big thing in the dungeon, there would be at most one ......"
"Don't you see that rattan wall?! That's Marshal Zhao's roots......"
"This time it's not a small matter, three fruiting entities are dispatched together, and the woman named Xu Xiaoxiao is really not simple......"
"Eh, I've heard that this woman can single-handedly deal with an entire group of mutated zombies before she is alienated, and she is also a vehicle-level zombie with both strength and speed!"
"Bragging, huh? Single-handedly taking on an entire horde of mutant zombies? Do you think she's also a biological weapon? β
"By the way, why are those three fruiting entities so slow to do it? And it looks like it's still ??????????????? Very friendly to that woman......"
The sound of discussion one after another spread like small ripples in this underground space.
In an atmosphere that was not relaxed, but not very tense, the three 'wooden people' turned their heads and said to Xu Xiaoxiao in a friendly manner:
"Identity, Confirmation ......"
"Z-J Dungeon Guard, Xu Xiaoxiao ......"
"BioAndroids, Hamilton......
"Judas Clone Three, Lu Bing......"
The three wooden figures spoke in a peculiar way, obviously a complete sentence, but the three voices were separated and spoken, which sounded a bit like a not-so-intelligent computer-synthesized sound.
When Lu Bing first saw the three fruiting entities, there was still a hint of caution on his face.
But he soon seemed to remember something, and his face showed a sudden look:
"Oh...... I remember, you are Marshal Zhao's ......"
The three wooden figures tilted their heads in unison, and the words popped out one by one:
"Child-substance-body."
After a brief introduction to himself, the first wooden man continued:
"An unidentified ...... was discovered"
The facial features were aimed at 173, and the roots of his head twisted, squeezing out an expression similar to doubt.
Hamilton immediately introduced: "This is the Elder, the Elder, from Timeline 173, but because he accidentally swallowed the stamen of the gourd on the way back, he is still trapped in the hallucination......"
Hearing this, the wooden man stiffened for a while, and finally nodded unevenly:
"Understanding, the Elder, Timeline 173......"
After a pause, three voices rang out at the same time, overlapping into a stumbling sentence:
"Discovery, Xu Xiaoxiao, there is a phenomenon of alienation, you retreat, let me help her!"
Without waiting for Hamilton to react, the three wooden men stepped forward on their own and surrounded Xu Xiaoxiao, who had his head down, in the middle.
Two of them rested on the towering rattan wall with one hand, and each of the other hands hung in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.
The other wooden man walked around Xu Xiaoxiao's back, his arms raised, and it seemed that he was going to put it on the woman's shoulder for a while.
However, this angle also made its face aimed at Lu Bing, who was tied to Xu Xiaoxiao's back.
Staring at the face woven from roots, Lu Bing seemed to have a sudden illness, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he let out two dry laughs:
"Hehe, Marshal Zhao, long time no see......"
The fruiting entity did not respond to the youth's greeting, but quickly made a sound to report the number:
"One, two, three!"
When the last number landed, the four arms pressed together to the alienated Xu Xiaoxiao!
At the same time, dots of silver light particles emanated from the vine wall and the fruiting body, like a milk swallow returning to its nest, and they all submerged into the woman's body.
After these light particles converged, the black qi on Xu Xiaoxiao's body decreased significantly, and even the alienation phenomenon on the surface of his body subsided by half.
Except for the half-grown horn on his forehead.
"Okay, for the time being, under control!"
The three fruiting bodies retracted their hands and stumbled.
Lu Bingyi changed his previous appearance of hanging up without caring about himself, and patted his ass with a flattering face:
"Oh, it's really Marshal Zhao, as soon as the marshal makes a move, I know if there is a ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the fruiting entity standing behind Xu Xiaoxiao untied the seat belt tied to Lu Bing's body and removed it from the woman's back.
A deep inquiry sounded, but this time it wasn't from the three wooden men.
It's coming from all directions!
It's as if the walls of the entire dungeon are talking, and the voices are intertwined and resonate.
"Lu Bing, you have a serious loss of spiritual energy in your body, have you used [dormant metabolism]?"
When Lu Bing heard this, he deliberately showed an aggrieved expression:
"It's not because of her, if Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have made myself so embarrassed......"
seemed to hear Lu Bing's answer, and the deep voice didn't sound again, but the wooden people spoke again:
"Come here, come to me, and have an interview......"
After speaking, one of the fruiting entities carried Lu Bing on his back.
The other two also moved at the same time, one left and one right supporting Xu Xiaoxiao, and walked forward slowly.
Everywhere they went, the crowd automatically separated, and they didn't dare to stop it.
But halfway through, the fruiting bodies seemed to have thought of something, and the fruiting body with Lu C on his back turned around and looked at the captain of the guard in the crowd.
"Xiao Wu, take the injured resident to receive treatment, don't delay."
The captain of the guard was stunned when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously.
Qian Shichang still wanted to say something, but looking at the strange appearance of those fruiting bodies, he shrank his neck timidly.
He was originally a master who bullied the weak and feared the hard.
As long as the person who comes can show a little background, he will not dare to provoke easily.
Now Marshal Zhao is blatantly biased in favor of Xu Xiaoxiao and others, if Qian Shichang sticks his neck and sticks his head out again, then does he want to stay in the Kyoto dungeon?
The conflict, which could have erupted at any time, was inexplicably resolved.
Passing through the crowd, the three fruiting entities quickly led the group to the bottom of the central pillar.
It was only when he got closer that Hamilton realized that the translucent columns that looked like they were supporting the entire dome were not actually made of stone.
To be precise, it's more like the stalk of some kind of giant plant.
If you look closely, you can see that the entire 'crystal column' is made up of cells the size of a fingernail, filled with bubbles and liquid, as if they can be punctured with a single poke.
Looking at these beautiful structures, Hamilton was fascinated for a moment. It wasn't until the fruiting entity's reminder came out that he was awakened from his contemplation.
"Hehe, wait, when I get to the bottom, I'll give you a good explanation of the structure of the 'crystal pillar'."
Looking up, several people had already entered the 'crystal pillar' and were waiting there.
"It seems to be an elevator ......"
Hamilton muttered in his heart, apparently silently following.
As he expected, the position where the few people stood was a disc that was not quite spacious.
The texture is similar to that of a crystal column, and it is also composed of cells the size of a fingernail.
After Hamilton stepped onto the disk, the crystal entrance was closed and the disk slowly descended.
There was no sound of machinery running, and there was no beep.
Descending to a certain point, the disc silently trembled and stopped.
Like an elevator opening, the enclosed wall slowly separates.
When passing by, Hamilton also made a point of observing how it works-
It was found that the water in the cell lattice was actively squeezed out, causing the entire deconstruction to shrink, which caused the phenomenon of opening the door.
"Clever biotech ......," Hamilton in mind??????????????? Commented silently.
However, 173 on the side seemed to be able to hear the voice of this cyborg, and inexplicably exclaimed:
"Damn, the whole Mercury Harbor is alive!"
"What?"
A big question mark popped up in Hamilton's head.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, the fruiting entity that walked in front of him came with a compliment:
"Already, someone, see it......"
Everyone walked out of the crystal pillar and walked hundreds of meters in a dark corridor.
When the light filled again, Hamilton was surprised to find that the material that made up the corridor was no longer the earthy yellow metal he had seen before.
Instead, it became a strip of whiskers.
Entwined roots.
It looks disorganized, but it is just right entangled together, forming a perfect whole.
Everything is just like 173 said, the whole 'Mercury Port', it seems to be alive!
As they advanced, the corridor began to twist and turn, the distance between the walls narrowed, and the ceiling sank.
In the end, everyone had to bend down to ensure that their scalp would not be bruised.
"Here we are."
Just as the doubts were accumulating to the edge, the reminder of the fruiting entity finally came from the front.
It was at this point that Hamilton discovered that they had reached a dead end.
The road ahead was blocked by dense roots, and the falling things were like layers of curtains, completely blocking the way ahead.
"Marshal ~~~" Lu Bing shouted.
Despite the hoarseness of his voice, he could still hear the lightness in his tone.
But no response came.
There was no one ahead of him, as Hamilton had expected, and there was no response from the surrounding roots.
"Marshal ???" Lu Bing howled again, much more eager than before.
Still nothing happened.
"What's the situation, do you want us to go in and find you?"
Lu Bing was a little impatient, and complained angrily.
And it was precisely after he said this sentence that the roots in front of everyone seemed to come alive and began to writhe slowly......
