How long has it been since you've been in a desperate situation like today?

One month? A year? Decade?

A sharp and swift sound of breaking the air came from the head, pulling the consciousness of the first hunter back to reality.

A Terra worm had broken through his blood mist defenses that had spread three meters around him, and his arm danced, pulling out a tricky arc of light and slashing at the neck of the First Hunter.

It's so close, it's obviously too late to get away from it.

The distraction in the battle put him in an extremely passive situation.

Faced with this sharp slash, the First Hunter gave up most of his defenses like crazy, and only leaned back as much as possible to avoid being directly decapitated by the blade arm, and at the same time, the sawsaw short knife in his hand was raised high, and launched a futile attack on the insect man who was obviously outside the range of the short knife.

The sharp blade easily sliced through the skin and carotid artery of the First Hunter.

Blood spurted wildly.

Click!

At the same time, a crisp sound of transformation reverberated through the room.

The mechanism triggered, and the folded sawsaw flicked away in an instant, turning into a long-handled broadsword that swung down the arm of the first hunter and smashed into the wormman's head, and the fast-turning chainsaw twisted the contents into a pulp.

The wormman split in two and fell to the ground.

It's not a good thing to get distracted on the battlefield. There was a cold and stiff touch behind him, and the chairman's reminder of no emotional ups and downs echoed in his ears, this time it was just the carotid artery, and next time it might be his head moved. Fun Cabinet

Bagatelle. Although the first hunter pressed his neck hard, he still couldn't stop a large amount of blood rushing out of his fingers at all times, but even so he was still very calm, each hunter has a unique ability to control blood, not to mention cutting a carotid artery for us, even moving the head is not a big deal

The skeleton's artificial prosthetic eyes rolled slightly, glanced at him, and said, "It would have been more convincing if the blood hadn't been spraying when you said this."

Unbelief? He let go of the hand that was holding the wound on his neck, and the palm of his hand was removed, the narrow wound on his neck looked terrifying, but it was no longer like a fountain of blood just now, and if you looked closely, you could see that the wound on his neck had been closed and scabbed over, and most of it was healed.

If I wanted to, I wouldn't spurt out a drop of blood, I just added some useful blood to the battlefield by the way.

The First Hunter explained.

Blood control is the basic skill of a hunter, any hunter who can graduate from the academy knows how to control the blood to form blood clots, and then act as an adhesive to cover the wound, and the most clever blood control means can not only replace the limbs with blood, but even can still rely on blood control methods to survive in a state where 80% of the body's functions are suspended

The chairman thought about his rhetoric for a moment: "Although I know that you hunters have a special physique and are difficult to be killed easily, I always feel that you are still lying to me.

No. The first hunter manipulated the weapon of the blood mist to tear apart a wormman, and there was a rare smile on his face, but that smile looked both reluctant and frightened, my master is a fierce man who can control blood in this way, obviously he usually pretends to sit in a wheelchair, and he looks sick all day long. But when I beat my brother and me, my hands and feet are better than anyone else's

Surrounded by strong enemies, they were alert to the insects around them who were no longer actively attacking, chatting with each other, looking very relaxed and freehand, but only they knew their true state.

The first hunter's face was as white as paper due to excessive blood loss, his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and the long and high-intensity battle had drained his last physical strength, and if it were not for the support of the chairman behind him, his crumbling body might collapse to the ground in the next second.

The chairman, who was back to back against him, was not much better, his right arm was torn off the body alive by the worm, clusters of short-circuited electric sparks emerged from the jagged tear wound at the shoulder joint, oil and coolant slowly seeped out of the broken pipe, and only half of the shoulder cannon was left.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands.

In the face of overwhelming numerical superiority, there is also mental unity, which can be represented by any individual

The collective Terra Worms, their tacit cooperation did not close the gap in combat effectiveness. It's better to say that the two of them have been able to hold on until now, and it is already an incredible miracle that the corpses of the insects lying on the floor between the killings and the domination are still alive.

The first hunter hurriedly grabbed oxygen, seized the precious respite to regain his strength, and at the same time looked around and said, "Old Wang, have you noticed that the speed at which these guys are pouring into the room seems to be slowing down?"

Because the number of bugs guarding the corridor has been decreasing since ten minutes ago, most of them are pouring into Night City through the passage of ships in all directions, and now they are still sticking to the outside to surround our bugs, I am afraid that not even a tenth of the original number. The chairman said disapprerovingly.

First Hunter: Really?! How would you know so clearly?

Isn't it obvious that they have slowed down the pace of their attack since the beginning, and the speed at which bugs pour into the room and the average density of the swarm can be calculated? The chairman groaned for a moment, and besides, I could see the surveillance inside the ship

As for the reason for their sudden retreat, I'm afraid that something happened in the city that restrained their excessive combat strength, right?

Hearing this news, the first hunter immediately had a guess in his heart: a foreigner?

There is not enough information to analyze. The skeleton man shook his head, and the electronic prosthetic eye was always on guard against the insects around him who were not attacking, but since they were in a hurry to withdraw the insects here and transfer them to the city, it means that they are under a lot of pressure on the battlefield over there, as long as they hold on for a while, they should temporarily give up our hard bones that are difficult to attack.

He didn't know exactly what was going on outside, but these changes in the worms obviously had a positive effect on the current situation.

And change means vitality.

If his analysis is correct, the bugs have been pinned down a lot of combat power in the battlefield in the city, and it is urgent to mobilize the worms in the energy tower to support the frontline battlefield

Then the conclusion is obvious, they will be safe as long as they survive this round.

After all, there are not many substantial rewards and benefits for the bugs to kill him and the first hunter, and the only thing that can be called a positive benefit is probably to take back control of the Throne of Domination and take over the ship that has fallen into disrepair, most of the modules are unusable, and there are a bunch of illegal buildings.

And if the two of them are determined to die with these bugs, then the price that the other party needs to pay will probably be even greater, and more troops will be pinned down, which is an absolutely unacceptable loss for the zergs who are eager to support the battlefield on the other side.

The sawsaw knife and the sickle arm slammed together.

Dazzling knife lights collided with each other.

Sparks fly.

The crisp and pleasant sound of striking iron echoed for a long time.

It's easy to put it.

The first hunter grabbed a flaw in the insect man, pressed the knife of the other party from the side of his arm, and then lifted the knife upward, and the chainsaw mounted on the blade let out a dull roar, easily cutting the insect man into two pieces.

What if they don't give up?

No way. The chairman twisted his body to avoid the oncoming insect man, and the purple lightning in his right hand scurried away, raising his hand and slapping the insect man's chest impartially and impartially to knock him to the ground.

The previous battle made me realize that they are not unintelligent beasts, these bugs can create gaps and opportunities for their companions to attack regardless of life and death, which means that there must be a swarm consciousness composed of countless individuals behind them, and the shrewd and rational swarm consciousness is making decisions on their behalf, taking every step of action and the benefits that each bug can produce to the extreme

I know exactly what decisions they will make and how they will act

The skeleton stared indifferently at the only remaining insect people in the room, and had already begun to build a model of the next battle in his mind, calculating what the opponent would do, and listing countermeasures and solutions one by one in the calculation core.

After all, like them, I'm also a guy whose interests come first

Soon, as he expected, when the last insect man was cut down by the first hunter, his shattered body fell weakly

On the mountain of corpses, the room fell completely silent.

There was no more noisy elytra outside the room, no more rustling sounds could be heard as the insects moved, and no more insects had crept through the crack outside the door.

finally

The first hunter sat on the ground with his ass out of force, and let out a long sigh with his back against the corpse mountain.

It was definitely the toughest battle I've had in decades

He was already in a state of overload, relying on squeezing his life potential to support until this moment, and now that the strong enemy was eliminated, his taut last string was also relaxed, so his whole body collapsed to the ground.

How did you just fall? The chairman broke off the knife arm of an insect man, looked for the insect people who were not yet dead among the corpses all over the ground, stabbed the knife arm into their brains one by one to mend the knife, and quickly got up to help mend the knife, now the battle is not over, and you can't be careless.

I don't have your tireless steel body, the first hunter waved his hand weakly, let me rest, and come to your aid after a little recovery

However, at this moment, the mutation suddenly occurred.

The pile of corpses piled up into a small mountain suddenly exploded, and the fragments of the corpses of the insects flew in the sky, and at the same time, a swift black shadow flashed out from the dazzling corpse fragments, and rushed towards the first hunter with lightning speed!

hisss &ash;&ash;

The sound of elytra vibrating echoed through the room, and a worm-man swung its last remaining arm with its teeth and claws, stabbing at the chest of the First Hunter.

The first hunter was startled, his left hand on the ground and his legs turned over at the same time, twisting his hips to deftly and precisely avoid the knife arm that stabbed him, and at the same time stomped heavily on the thrusting knife arm.

See through!

With one foot, the knife arm stabbed and fell to the ground, but the inertial power would not disappear, and the originally aggressive charging insect man continued to impact because of inertia, and the fragile body balance was also broken, and the insect man's posture was completely broken, and his body fell uncontrollably towards the first hunter.

But the insect man would not give the first hunter a chance to fight back, and with one miss, the three-petal mouth had quietly unfolded, and a black shadow shot out of the mouth like lightning!

The two sides were very close, and all this came too quickly, but the first hunter had already understood the methods of the insect people in the battle, and he had already taken precautions, so he avoided the sudden attack with a slight deviation in his head, and his sharp long tongue brushed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

Blood Fighting &ddo; Mist!

The blood that flowed from his cheeks turned into a blood mist with a thud, blended into the air and turned into ubiquitous aerosol particles, and quietly followed the cracks and wounds in the insect's carapace into his body fluid circulation by the ubiquitous air flow disturbance, and then

Boom!

Turned into countless sharp blades and broke out of the body.

The First Hunter also squeezed out the last of his strength, and collapsed to the ground, unable to lift up any more strength.

And in the mountain of corpses, the worm people who had been waiting for the opportunity to appear since the beginning of the battle just now finally seized the opportunity to succeed in sniping.

Enemy reactions detected.

The hostile radar frantically alarmed, and the chairman was keenly aware of the enemy's position, and the upper body was unlocked and twisted violently one hundred and eighty degrees, and the arm was fully extended and crossed the arc to wave to obtain more inertia and kinetic energy, and then the knife arm was thrown in the direction of the sniper according to the calculated track!

The blade arm rotated at high speed with a huge amount of kinetic energy, and the screeching noise that burst out of the air pierced through the worm-man's brain with unmistaken precision.

However, it was still a step too late.

Even though his brain was destroyed, the ganglia all over the surface of the worm's body faithfully transmitted his last commands.

The trigger is pulled.

The cavity covered with strong muscles contracts violently, squeezing the hypertrophic maggot that is a projectile, pushing it out of the cavity at subsonic speed!

The first hunter who was completely out of power had lost his combat effectiveness, and could only watch as the fat maggots flew into the sky and swelled rapidly.

Boom!

The highly toxic acid exploded in the air, turning into a curtain of rain

A hunter covered.

He couldn't dodge, because he had a hard time even moving his fingers.

There was no way to defend against it, because that bit of blood mist just now had already been consumed in the battle.

The first hunter leaned on the pile of corpses, quietly watching the corrosive raindrops slowly fall, calmly waiting for death to come.

But before the rain fell, the chairman had already turned into a black shadow and flashed, and then a strong wind hit him, and then he only felt a huge force in his chest like a truck crashing into his chest, and his sturdy body flew out uncontrollably.

This collision actually knocked him out of the area covered by the acid rain.

But the chairman who saved his life was not so lucky.

The highly corrosive liquid was poured on the back of the bone man, even if he had a corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant alloy body, he could not resist the strong corrosiveness of the venom, and in the blink of an eye, the alloy quickly decayed under the corrosion of the venom, accompanied by the thick white mist that continued to evaporate, and large pieces of rusted metal shavings shook off his body.

Lao Wang!

The power that came from somewhere drove the first hunter to struggle to his feet from the ground, and the wounds of various sizes on his body burst inch by inch, and he roared and turned into a bloody man, and the blood instantly turned into a diffuse blood mist.

And he got up from the ground with a roll, stumbled over and helped his friend who was about to fall to the ground.

Hold! I'll use blood therapy to clean the acid off you!

The blood mist that spread around his body gradually shrank, and he carefully controlled the blood mist that was still surrounding his body to cover the body of the bone man who was still bubbling with anger.

Hunters are extraordinary creatures who can engrave their unique transcendent techniques in blood and use their own blood to fight, each drop of blood is both a weapon and an extension of their body, as long as the blood technique is used properly, the hunting technique that causes a killing effect on the microscopic level can also be reversed into a healing effect.

But carrying out such a high-precision work is also a challenge for the first hunter.

The blood was scattered by his backhand, floating evenly in the air and combining with the air under his control, and a cloud of aerosol covered the skeleton's alloy body, continuing to penetrate deep along the tiny holes and tiny cracks that the alloy had been continuously corroded, chasing the acid that continued to penetrate and corrode the alloy structure in front of him.

Encapsulates venom, purifies corrosion, neutralizes toxicity

A drop of acid requires several clumps of blood aerosol particles to encapsulate, control and purify the body, and so much of the acid that seeps into the bones, and to stop the acid from spreading further, it is necessary to have the ability to multi-purpose and the meticulous control of the blood, while manipulating the almost astronomical number of aerosol particles to intercept the venom with unmistakable precision

The amount of effort required is unimaginable.

Sweat slid down the corners of his forehead, his temples were beating suddenly, the first hunter's eyes burst out with unprecedented concentration, and he concentrated on manipulating the blood to soak into the alloy body to remove the acid, and after a while, he saw a large green mist separate from the alloy body, and he waved his hand to sprinkle it on the corpse pile beside him, and the ablation phenomenon on the skeleton gradually subsided.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said: This should be no problem

Before the words fell, a series of short-circuited electric sparks burst out from the skeleton's body again.

Damn it! Did the acid seep inside? The first hunter's face changed and he immediately understood what the problem was, and was just about to tear open the wound on his neck to control more blood to treat him, but he was grabbed by the bone man.

It's useless, it's a fatal wound.

The chairman shook his head, and he pointed to the back of his head, which was constantly sparking.

The main circuitry, data storage core, and other delicate components have been ablated by strong acids just now, and you can remove the acids from the surface, but you can't remove the acids that have penetrated into the body

There's always a way, you have parts ready to replace, right? The first hunter struggled to carry the chairman on his back, but the two almost fell to the ground together, and could only stand up with one hand on his shoulder, tell me, where is it! I'll take you over there right now to replace the parts!

There is no such place

Haven't you always had a countermeasure! The first hunter was stunned, he clutched the alloy skeleton of the bone man tightly, and the knuckles between his fingers looked a little pale because of excessive force, when he was on the great escape, when he was chased by the insect tide, when did we not rely on your over-prepared personality to tide over the difficulties?! When you had to set up a fort position even with dozens of bugs blocking the way, will you have no follow-up response!

Well, because from the very beginning, I didn't think about repairing my own back road

Perhaps due to the damage to important electronic components, the voice of the skeleton appears to be somewhat distorted and distorted.

The first hunter froze: Why?

Well, because, the manufacturing parts of the bone man require a high level of technology

As if thinking, and as if there was a pause caused by a damaged circuit board, the red light in the bone man's eye dimmed for a moment, and only came back on a few seconds before he continued.

If it is just for the sake of my own safety, it is too difficult to ask them to develop the manufacturing technology and production line of precision components from scratch, and the benefits are too low&ash;&ash; such an answer, can you accept it?

Your first hunter looked at his former friend in disbelief with a complicated expression.

My time is running out to meet the other person's gaze, although the voice is distorted and distorted, but the tone is still as calm and steady as usual, finally, let's find a cleaner place to sit for a while, shall we?

Electric sparks erupted, accompanied by a piercing sound of metal grinding, and one of the skeleton's arms completely collapsed and fell to the ground due to the corrosion of the internal structure, and the rusted metal chips shook off.

The first hunter looked at the chairman deeply, then nodded.

Good

He walked out of the Dominion with the heavy alloy body of the skeletal man, and the two limped and supported each other in the winding passage, and soon found a small secluded corner.

There shouldn't be anyone to disturb it here, the first hunter panted, put away the bones that had rusted off his hands and feet, and found a place next to him, and sat side by side.

Do you remember, my friend? During the cataclysm, there was a time when the fleeing party was hit by a swarm of wandering insects, and the two of us fought against the endless insects like we did today, and then fought our way out

Well? The first hunter answered, that time, in order to cover the team that had not yet evacuated, you and I stayed behind the palace, but instead we were wrapped in a circle by insects, and we were completely trapped in the sea of insects, and almost died in it once

But the situation is completely different now. The bone man said slowly, at that time, I dragged the seriously injured you to find the team that answered, and only then did you pick up a life.

You're really putting me on the ground and dragging me, why don't you make a trailer? actually dragged me for more than ten kilometers, and at least half of my life was dragged away by you like this

The First Hunter sighed, paused slightly, and asked.

Why all of a sudden?

It's nothing, but it seems like something similar has happened before

The skeleton shook his head, leaning against the wall of the hallway, red gleaming in his eyes.

In your words, it's just a whim.

Your first hunter glanced at his friend unexpectedly, he felt a little surprised, no reason to make small talk

Well, isn't it okay to talk to old friends about non-nutritious topics at the end?

The First Hunter choked, then his eyes twinkled and he chuckled.

Heh, in fact, you didn't need to save me at that time, that kind of injury can't kill me, you can put me there, you go back to find the receiving team first and then come back to me

The dead duck has a hard mouth, and at that time you were stabbed in the chest, and the two holes kept bleeding out, and when I came back, your corpse would be cold

As I said, we hunters don't die so easily

I really miss the time when the bone man looked up at the void and was with you

Oh, yes

In the conversation and laughter, the two seemed to return to decades ago, when everyone joined hands and fought side by side, and the past time quietly appeared in front of them.

As 'Tyrant&

; rsquo; These decades of reigning day and night in Night City.

Those nameless people who were crushed by the tide of the times because of his decisions.

When they decided to settle in the Portal Decades ago, the smiles on people's faces and the light in their eyes burst out.

The days when he and the First Hunter, along with the rest of his companions, took the refugees through the wasteland.

Charge into battle with your buddies and slay the memories of the swarm.

A time when you were under siege and faced back to back with the First Hunter.

A past of wandering aimlessly alone in the wasteland.

The last charge of the Bone Legion towards the swarm

Scenes of images appeared in front of his eyes, and everyone and everything in the past was regarded as the most precious treasure, and the details were recorded in his storage core.

Now, these precious records are gradually distorted and damaged under the influence of acid, turning into unreadable garbled files and snowflake dot videos.

The acidic substance quietly penetrated and spread in his body as if it were alive, and some of it even penetrated into his data storage core, ablating large swaths of bad zones in it, and more and more memories were becoming unreadable garbled data.

More and more memories are being lost.

Those flashback memory files were finally frozen in an empty room.

It was a place that looked like a research lab.

Surrounded by simple but sturdy alloy walls, several men in white coats looked at him excitedly and nervously, and then showed excited cheers.

The testing machine has been successfully started!

The way to encode the soul electronically works!

The next step is to overcome the difficulties of mass manufacturing and network construction!

Now humanity is saved!

This is the first time in the world that he has turned on the vision sensor to see the image.

Among the researchers, a young Sven man wearing black-rimmed glasses walked out and came up to him and stretched out his hand to him.

Welcome back, the experiment was a success, and your soul has been perfectly translated into an electronic code. Congratulations, in the future, you can continue to fight for your ideals and make the world a better place

Although it was congratulations, Sven Young Man frowned, and his tone sounded a little low, as if he was worried about something.

Ideal?

The nascent electronic consciousness hesitated for a moment, the word echoing through his data processor, and soon the storage core accepted the request for associated access, and a large memory of both familiar and unfamiliar memories came to mind.

He remembered.

In the past, when I was still a 'human', I had sincere and innocent thoughts in my heart.

I hope for world peace.

I hope everyone can be happy.

I want to make the world a better place.

Having translated his soul into an electronic code, and placed in a cold, dead body made of steel, he could no longer comprehend the emotions that had sparked with these ideals when he was a 'human'.

And today, decades have passed since the birth of this consciousness.

He seemed to be able to understand some of the emotions he had in his heart when he was still a human being.

It's just that it seems a little late.

I'm sorry, I can't save you

Guilty.

If I could do better

Remorse.

If Alex were to do this, he would be doing a lot better than me

The noise of snowflakes gradually covered the field of vision, and then the vision sensor was completely turned off in a dark day, and the last vision was also deprived, leaving only the auditory sensor still struggling to operate.

Finally, he heard his friend's voice.

Thank you for your hard work, take a good break, brother.
