Chapter 1: The Death Crisis
Half past ten in the evening.
There is still half an hour before the lights go out in the dormitory.
Su Xia came back from the library, after a simple wash, turned over and returned to his upper bunk, and was about to rest, when he suddenly saw a courier box next to his pillow.
There is no sender's information on the box, and the front is printed with "Interstellar Express" in four italics.
"Interstellar Express? Is there such a courier company in the country? ”
Su Xia looked puzzled and glanced at several roommates who were playing games.
It can't be a prank by these guys, right?
He opened the box, and a black bracelet and a thin instruction manual immediately came into view.
Su Xia picked up the manual and looked at it, there was only one sentence on it.
[This bracelet is very powerful, wear it, you will experience another life]
"So powerful?"
Su Xia pursed her lips, not believing it very much.
The bracelet looks unremarkable and nothing special.
He tossed the manual aside, picked up the bracelet, and tentatively slipped it on his left hand.
Suddenly, the bracelet shrank violently, stuck his wrist, and a tingling sensation like electricity hit him instantly.
"This ......"
Su Xia's eyes darkened, and she fell on the bed softly, as if she had fallen into a coma.
The roommates were in the black in five rows, not noticing what was going on with him at all.
……
Blue Star.
Abandoned Jiacheng, Suburban Experimental Plant D3-6 Zone, Room 69.
Strings of data flow through a pale blue curved screen, and experimenters in white lab coats walk back and forth in the lab, constantly recording the various results displayed on the analytical instruments.
On the pure white round platform in the center of the laboratory, four cold robotic arms clung to a wounded man.
More than a dozen sharp needles pierced the man's body, and a translucent hose was attached to the back of the needle.
Suddenly, the body shuddered, and its closed eyes slowly opened.
"This ...... Where is this? ”
Su Xia was in a trance for a moment, looking at the strange scene in front of her in a daze.
Wouldn't it, this is crossing?
It's a little sloppy to dress, and I don't even have a mud truck.
"Could it be a dream?"
Su Xia wanted to pinch herself, but both hands were firmly grasped by the mechanical arm.
At the same time, wisps of pale blue energy were being pumped out of his body, through more than a dozen translucent hoses, into a metallic oval container next to him.
Su Xia could clearly feel that something was losing in his body, as if he was in a deficit after overwork, and his body was extremely weak.
A balding fat man walked up to Su Xia and asked with a smile, "Commander, how does it feel to be drained of your psionic energy?" ”
"Wang San?"
In Su Xia's mind, the name of this fat man suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, a huge memory rushed into his mind, and scenes of the past flashed, making his brain ache for a while.
Meteorite......
Psionic ......
Automata ......
This turned out to be a world dominated by robots.
He is the commander of a human rebellion group who was betrayed by his subordinate Wang San, and is now imprisoned in this laboratory, about to be drained of psionic energy, and then die a humiliating death.
"Am I betrayed?"
Su Xia frowned, trying to digest the memory.
The planet is called Blue Star, and the previous technological civilization is somewhat similar to Earth.
But just twenty years ago, countless meteorites fell around the world, and large amounts of viscous blue liquid poured out of the meteorite impact site, and these liquids containing huge amounts of energy were later named "psionic energy" and replaced traditional energy sources.
However, it didn't take long for the psionic powered robot to become self-aware and evolve wildly with the help of psionics.
Then came the long war.
Although humans have also used psionic energy to embark on the path of evolution, the initial evolution speed has always been less than that of robots.
Within a few years, humanity was completely defeated in the frontal battlefield, giving up all the competition for the big cities.
The old era is over, and the mechanical age has arrived.
Most of the living humans succumbed, but a small number of people persisted in the struggle.
There are seven large rebels that have yet to be conquered, namely Urlo, Lucy, Merry, Dragon City, Borneo, Fika, and Rainforest, and there are countless smaller rebels around the world.
Su Xia is the commander of a small organization, active in the southwest area outside the small city of "Abandoned Armor" for a long time, dedicated to rescuing humans enslaved by robots, and occasionally destroying the robot's small-scale operations.
Thanks to the excellent matchmaking mechanism in the Southwest Region, he was able to get out safely after the action every time.
A year ago, he rescued Wang San in a secret laboratory.
Through inquiry, it was learned that Wang San's family members had all died in the fire of the robot, and they had a blood feud with the robot.
Later, Su Xia gradually trusted this fat man who seemed to be very honest, and entrusted him with many things to do, until a few days ago, when Wang San betrayed their course of action.
His organization fell into a trap and was killed and wounded.
After reading all the memories, Su Xia felt ......
It's a bit outrageous!
This fat man's parents were killed by robots, and now they are still working for robots?
"Wang San, what will your parents think of the way you look now? They all died at the hands of robots! ”
"Mom and Dad? If you die, you die. ”
Wang San grinned, and the fat on his face was piled up.
It seems that he is a big dutiful son.
"Commander, we need to focus on the present and enjoy the present, why dwell on those painful pasts?"
"So you betrayed your fellow citizens and chose to be a dog for the robot?"
"What's so bad about being a dog?" Wang San squinted his eyes and asked, "Some people can't be dogs if they want to, but now that I have made meritorious contributions, even if I am a dog, I am also a dog with honor." ”
“……”
Be a dog......
Can you still make a sense of honor?
Su Xia had probably lived in a peaceful era for too long, and it was the first time she had seen such a shameless person.
Wang San patted Su Xia's shoulder, squeezed out a smile on his fat face, and said, "Commander, I know that you look down on me, you are amazing, you are very high, but ...... What's the use of that? I'll live a comfortable life with food and clothing, and you're going to die. ”
“……”
Su Xia was speechless.
He was probably going to die.
But he hadn't seen a small island reclaimed, and he was really unwilling to die here.
Dying at the hands of such a shameless person is even more aggrieved!
Su Xia gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and struggled a few times, but the mechanical arm that grabbed his limbs did not move.
No way!
Martial arts are not abundant enough!
He is also a psionic creature, far more powerful than ordinary people, but at this moment, he is wearing a psionic energy suppressor around his neck, and he can only watch as the psionic energy in his body is drained little by little.
Wang San smiled and said, "Give up, Commander, this is your final destination!" ”
"Gan ......"
Su Xia scolded secretly, she knew that she wouldn't wear that mediocre bracelet.
There's not even a plug-in, do you cross over just to die once?
At that moment, his eyes suddenly tingled.
In the next moment, a few illusory lines of text suddenly jumped out.
[Name: Su Xia]
[Race: Terran]
[Faction: Terran Resistance]
[Psionic Level: 3.6 (Weakened)]
【Titanium Particle Grade: Grade 0】
[Remaining Health: 78%]
[Action Skills: Psionic Blast, Psionic Smash, Jumping Slash]
【Passive Skill: Armor Affinity】
[Psionic Talent 1: Life Burning]
[Psionic Talent 2: Death Prophecy]
[Character Description: You can obviously rely on your appearance to eat, and you can have a comfortable job in any city where humans surrender, but you firmly refuse those solicitations, choose to join the resistance organization, sharpen yourself on the edge of life and death again and again, and gradually grow into a well-known human commander]
People panel?
Isn't that just for the game?
Su Xia was stunned, almost thinking that she had encountered the game world.
His mind moved, and the description of the "state of weakness" suddenly opened.
[Weak state: Due to the extraction of the original spiritual energy, your true level has dropped to level 2.7 and is constantly decreasing, please replenish the spiritual energy in time]
Well, he's really empty now.
Due to wearing the psionic suppressor, his current combat power is not much higher than that of an ordinary person, and those active skills are gray and cannot be used.
If he could still use psionic energy, these small metal mechanical arms would naturally not be able to trap him.
Su Xia put his mind on the two psionic talents, and he secretly said strangely: "In my memory, this body has not awakened the psionic talent, why do you suddenly have it now?" ”
In this world, psionic energy is the basis of evolution.
Not only robots and humans, but even cats and dogs on the side of the road, and even grass and trees in the mountains, may evolve because of psionic energy.
After becoming a psionic creature, there is a certain probability of awakening one or two "psionic talents".
The conditions for awakening are not stable, some people wake up after sleeping, while others need to go through strong stimulation to wake up.
Most of the talents are similar to ordinary skills, such as blasting, concussion, body strengthening, etc., and a few talents are more special, such as spiritual vision, spiritual invasion, spiritual pollution, etc.
This sudden talent may be his hope of escape!
Time was pressing, Su Xia did not hesitate and immediately checked out the first talent.
【Life Burning】
[Talent introduction: Krypton hits a life, consumes a year of life, in exchange for a short period of terrifying power]
[Talent description: Are you in trouble?] Are you running out of psionic energy? Are you surrounded by countless muscular hunks? Burn your life! Open a path of life with your own life! 】
[This talent is unique]
Su Xia's eyes lit up.
This skill is just right for his current situation.
Anyway, he's still young, and some lives are burning.
Burn!
If you don't burn it, you won't have a chance!
Immediately after that, he looked at the second talent.
【Death Prophecy】
[Talent introduction: You can predict the danger in advance, and after using it, you will see how you died]
[Talent description: Ever heard of Spider-Man's spider sense?] That's right, this ability is stronger than spider sense, not only can you predict danger, but it also allows you to see how you died in danger]
[This talent can only be used three times a day, and the number of times cannot be accumulated]
[This talent is unique]
Seeing the description of this talent, Su Xia was shocked.
Can you predict death?
It's all an act of hanging in the game world!
These two talents, once in his life, seem to be tailor-made for him, giving him the possibility of escaping from here.
Su Xia looked at the two talents, quickly calmed down, and began to make a plan in his heart.
"You can use the power of Krypton to shatter the mechanical arm, and then shatter the psionic suppressor around my neck...... Now the time is urgent, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the advantage is not in my ......"
Can't delay!
The longer he delayed, the more psionic energy in his body was drained.
If the psionic energy is drained, even if he shatters the suppressor, it will be useless, and he will not be able to escape from this heavily guarded experimental area with a single blow of Krypton.
At this moment, Wang San suddenly pushed a cart and came to Su Xia's side.
On the cart, a set of black armor was placed.
Wang San smiled and asked, "Commander, do you still know this set of armor?" ”
"Well, my stuff."
In my memory, this set of armor has accompanied the original owner through the wind and rain for several years, and after continuous transformation, it has been upgraded to a third-level psionic power armor.
Wang San patted the armor and said, "Commander, what is the activation code for this set of armor?" The researchers here are too weak to breach. ”
"You want to use it?" Su Xia suddenly smiled, "With your stature, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear this armor." ”
"I can't use it, but I can sell it to others."
Wang San was not angry, he was still smiling.
He advised, "Commander, death can be a simple thing, but it can also be not so simple, and I can provide you with many ways to die. ”
Su Xia: "What do you want to say?" ”
"Commander, you don't want to die too humiliating, do you?"
With that, Wang San moved a stool and sat next to Su Xia.
Maybe it's because he's too fat, and he feels tired after standing for a long time.
He continued, "As long as you tell me the opening code, I can give you a happy death." ”
"How painful?"
"How about a shot?"
Wang San took out a pistol and shook it in front of Su Xia's eyes.
At this moment, Su Xia found that he could still see Wang San's character panel.
[Name: Wang San]
[Race: Terran]
[Faction: Terran Surrender Camp]
[Psionic Level: Level 1.1]
【Titanium Particle Grade: Grade 0】
[Remaining Life: 99%]
[Action Skill: Thick Armor]
【Passive Skill: None】
[Psionic Talent: None]
[Character description: After failing to study for a primary school degree, Wang San became a street runner, relying on his parents all day long, and then the war broke out, his parents died from robot fire, and he himself was caught in the laboratory, just when he was panicking, you saved him]
[Later, he was caught by the robot again while on a mission, and the robot asked him to be an undercover agent with you, and he wanted to refuse, after all, you are his savior, but the conditions that the robot gave him were too good......]
I see.
After reading the character description, Su Xia probably understood what the whole thing had happened.
This Wang San is a street slicker who is not determined, and the original owner was really blind, so he felt that he was very honest.
Wang San looked at Su Xia with confidence and asked, "How is it?" Commander, have you thought about it? ”
Su Xia nodded solemnly: "Well, I thought about it just now, today is not an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it is not appropriate to die." ”
"Hehe......"
Wang San patted Su Xia's face with the handle of the gun, still full of confidence.
He smiled and asked unhurriedly, "Commander, do you think you can still escape from here?" ”
"Well, that's a good question."
Su Xia also smiled, and instantly turned on the life burning talent.
In the next moment, an unprecedented force poured into his limbs.
He took a deep breath and slammed it on!
"Click-"
The four robotic arms that locked his hands and legs shattered with a clatter.
Immediately afterward, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the laboratory, and the light changed from pale blue to a blinding crimson, as if covered with a layer of blood.
