Chapter 8: Unexpected Encounters (Revised Version)
it!
Looking at the system news, Su Jingtian was also shocked, he didn't expect that the ironclad lizard would be captured by the chaotic creatures when it was shuttling in the subspace.
After a brief shock, Su Jingtian directly opened the mechanical template to remotely recover the ironclad lizard.
[System prompt: The player's request has been returned, and the ironclad lizard is in a non-recoverable state!] γ
Looking at the system prompt, Su Jingtian also understood that the iron lizard could not come back, and the player level needed to reach level 100 to go to the subspace, and before the crossing, the player's highest level was only level 90.
"Karn, let's go!" Since the Iron Lizard can't come back, Su Jingtian will no longer stay, because Doyle's Nest will gather a large number of players in the future, and he will create a force that belongs only to him after the arrival of the players.
Hearing Karn's departure, he was a little puzzled, and he hurriedly followed Su Jingtian's footsteps and asked, "Boss, where is the ironclad lizard?" β
Looking at Karn, who looked curious, Su Jingtian said casually: "There is a small underground ruin in the underground network of the War Fortress, just in case, I let the Iron Lizard guard it, and we will go to the Doyle's Nest first to avoid the pursuit of us by the Black Banner."
Small underground ruins!
Looking at the huge war fortress behind him, Karn frowned, but then he still followed behind Su Jingtian.
After passing through the Iron Lizard, Su Jingtian understood that some skills really couldn't be used indiscriminately, especially when it came to subspace.
Looking at the endless desert and having nothing to do, Su Jingtian simply promoted himself first.
[LV.2β LV.3 requires the consumption of 1000 experience points, whether to level up the character! γ
Looking at the 3,000 experience stored in the experience points, Su Jingtian immediately upgraded the character.
[The character has reached LV.3, and all attributes have been fully restored to normal state!] γ

[Exclusive evaluation: Your existence has attracted some special attention, and the course of history has been rewritten because of your existence. γ
In the game [Warhammer: Darkest Hour], players can get 1 free attribute point for each upgrade, of course, free attribute points can also be obtained from attribute stones, but attribute stones can only be obtained from faction missions.
Strength, agility, physique, intelligence, and charisma belong to the game's general attributes, while psionic attributes are special attributes.
Of course, the luck in it is hidden, and anything less than 1 point will not be displayed on the panel.
Needless to say, the basic attributes, let's talk briefly about the psionic attributes.
Psionic attributes represent the degree of control over psionic mysteries, when the psionic attribute exceeds 10 points, you can be transformed into a psionic, and have the initial means of controlling psionic attacks, but in the primary stage, the psionics' attack methods are only fire and arc, but in the case of getting adventures, the primary stage will also control telekinesis, ice, illusion, etc.
There are two main classes in this Warhammer Darkest Hour game.
They are divided into gunsmiths and psykers, and of course the game also features a variety of hidden classes.
When the player reaches level 30, they can get a selection of subclasses, which include Miners, Mechanics, Cooks, Apothecaries, Ammomakers, and more.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The level was increased to LV.3 and 3 free attribute points were obtained, but Su Jingtian did not use attribute points immediately.
"With the mechanical template and the mechanical war pet, the road to the Doyle Nest is enough."
The reason why he didn't use attribute points was because the level was too low, and because he had obtained the mechanical template.
At present, Su Jingtian is still torn between the gunsmith and the psionics, although he is eager to improve the psionic attributes, but in the case of not obtaining the psionic secret technique, adding psionic attributes is completely useless, and everything will be talked about until the Doyle's nest.
Walking in the wilderness was a tedious task, let alone the scorching sun now, but thankfully, with Susedum's help, Karn was able to make two parasols out of the materials he had saved.
During this time of travel, Su Jingtian also chatted with Karn about something.
"Karn, how did you become a prisoner of war?" After chatting for a while, Sedum began to ask Karn about his experience of being a prisoner of war.
In the face of Su Jingtian's inquiry, Karn said with a somewhat dull face: "I was originally an employee of the STI Group, and I have been engaged in ship maintenance work in a planetary cracking spaceship called [U.S.G Ishimura], and when the spaceship entered the Yakai route, it was accidentally attacked by space pirates ambushed in the meteorite group. β
"Due to the large difference in firepower between the two warships, in less than 20 minutes, my hull was broken by the enemy warship, although the captain has the strength of the Delta level, but in the face of the space pirate leader who also has the Delta level, the captain is invincible with two fists and four hands, and finally died in the spaceship that he was proud of in the past."
When it came to the captain's death, a tear fell from the corner of Karn's left eye.
Originally, Karn was just an ordinary ground maintenance worker, but he was taken by the captain to carry out a star splitting ship because he rescued a nobleman, and became an enviable ship maintenance worker.
Karn was proud to be a ship repairman, and learned from others that the nobleman he rescued was the captain's daughter, and that the captain not only brought him into the warship, but also opened up the various mechanical knowledge recorded in the ship to him.
Just when he was about to enter the peak of his life, the space pirate warship attacked his battleship, and in the face of the space pirate who broke into the ship, the captain entrusted his daughter to Karn, and led his own faith to defend the battleship, but until the end, Karn did not succeed in escaping the battleship, and the captain's daughter also died in front of him.
"And how did you survive from a space pirate?"
Although sympathetic to Karn's past, Su Jingtian was also curious about how the other party escaped from the space pirates, who were also called battleship hunters, and their target was the battleship, and the crew of the battleship would be slaughtered.
"Huh! Little did I know that I was shot in the forehead by a space pirate, but when I woke up again, I was a maintenance worker for the Black Banner Order. β
Karn was unclear about how he survived the muzzle of a space pirate or how he became a maintenance worker for the Black Banner Order, as if he had lost his memory for a moment after a bullet hit his forehead.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The two walked and stopped, but when the sun went down, there was a sand wind blowing in the wilderness, but fortunately, Su Jingtian found a rock cave in the sand wind according to his memory.
The cave is about the size of a small town, and the cave is damp and full of mosquitoes, but after the official launch, a transit station has been built by NPC forces.
Upon entering the cavern, a damp air hits your face, contrasting with the biting sand wind of the wilderness.
After simply clearing the damp rubble from the ground, Sedum and Karn cut down some trees at the entrance to the cave, and then raised a campfire to heat up some canned food.
After eating and drinking, Su Jingtian chatted with Karn for a while, and then yawned and fell asleep, while the red-eyed spider lay on guard at the entrance of the cave.
There was no dream all night, and when Su Jingtian woke up again, he only felt a heavy chest, and when he opened his eyes, he frowned, because Karn actually put his fat thigh on his body when he was asleep, and Karn's left hand was still on his chest.
Looking at Karn, who used himself as a pillow, Su Jingtian immediately slapped Karn's hand on the back, perhaps because of his obesity, Karn muttered a few words in a daze and turned over and continued to sleep.
He yawned and walked out of the cave, the morning sun had not yet risen, the sand wind had long since subsided, and the morning breeze still felt a little cold, and he kicked the red-eyed spider at his feet to wake Karn from sleeping, and then he stepped aside to make it easier.
The red-eyed spider shook off the dust from his body and walked to the sleeping Karn with eight mechanical limbs, and then a piercing "clang" sound rang in Karn's ears.
"Don't make a fuss!"
The cacophony in his ears didn't open his eyes, and Karn muttered a word and fell asleep again.
Looking at Karn, who was muttering and falling asleep, the red-eyed spider crawled to the top of the cave and spat out a piece of metal spider silk at the sleeping Karn on the ground, and as the metal spider silk converged, Karn's body was pulled into the air little by little.
When Karn's body was pulled into the air, as the metal spider silk continued to shake, Karn's body also swayed, and when the swing became larger and larger, the metal spider silk that bound Karn suddenly broke, and as the metal spider silk broke, Karn who was shaking fell directly into the spring formed by lime water.
"I'll you!"
Karn awoke from the lime water, and when he looked up, he saw the red-eyed spider slowly landing from the top of the cave along the metal spider silk.
As Karn swore and crawled out of the lime water, Suedum yawned and stretched his waist in.
Looking at the wet Karn and the red-eyed spider on the side, Su Jingtian took out a box of beef cans from his backpack and handed them to Karn and said, "It's not too early, eat something first, and then speed up the pace later." β
"Yesterday I only walked 18 kilometers in the afternoon, and today I try to reach the Nile at night, if nothing else, we can reach the Daur nest at noon the next day after spending the night on the Nile, as long as we enter the nest capital, we are considered safe."
Listening to Su Jingtian's story, Karn's eyes lit up while eating the beef can, but he asked curiously, "Boss, why haven't you seen the people with the black flag for so long?" β
Although Karn was happy to be able to get to Doyle's Lair tomorrow at noon, he was also curious about why Black Banner didn't send people into the wilderness to find escaped prisoners of war, as the Black Banner usually had zero tolerance for escaped prisoners of war.
"The POW locator carried by the commander of Camp 717 is in my hand, and there is a subspace crack in Camp 717, it is estimated that the black flag is under investigation by the trial court, and it will not be able to spare time for a while and a half."
The two of them ate a few boxes of canned food to fill their stomachs, and after looking at the rest of the food and water, Su Jingtian pulled up the panel and opened the map to start looking at how to avoid possible encounters with cyborg soldiers when heading to the Nile.
In fact, at the beginning, Su Jingtian made a mistake when choosing the route, before crossing the Ambrera Research Institute was located in the central and western directions, but when he opened the map just now, he found that the Ambrera Research Institute was located in the southwest direction, which seemed to be a little different from his memory.
Although the area to the southwest is the territory of the Ambrera Institute, the area covered by the Ambrera Institute is not very comprehensive, and there is a Nile River downstream from it, and it may be a good option to cross the Nile at night.
The Ambrera Institute, located on the Nile, is an underground laboratory dedicated to the study of various biochemical serums and genes, and they also conduct various genetic studies on Tyranids, Orcs, and even Chaos creatures in addition to human studies.
Although the Ambrera Research Institute has been suppressed by the Inquisition on the surface, various biochemical serums and genetic drugs about them often appear on the black market.
Genetic drugs can strengthen all aspects of the human body's attributes, and biochemical serums can make ordinary people have a very low probability of becoming psionics, and according to rumors, the Ambrera Research Institute has the ability to reorganize and revive cells, and I don't know if it's true or not.
The biochemical soldiers of the Ambrera Research Institute have all undergone biochemical genetic modification, and in the initial stage, the test subjects are called [biochemical soldiers], although they still maintain their human appearance, they are three times stronger than ordinary people in all aspects.
At the intermediate stage, the test subjects are called [Biochemical Warriors], and although they still have human appearance, they are no longer able to be killed by regular headshots, and the effective way to kill them is usually to shoot them to pieces.
When they reach the advanced stage, the test subjects are called [Biochemical Boss], although they have the appearance of a human being, they are very tall, usually kept at about 3.5 meters, and are immune to 30% of physical attacks, when the combat is needed, their bodies will be completely alienated, and their size will skyrocket to 5.2 meters in an instant, at this time they are immune to 70% of physical attacks, and they also have the power to control psionic energy.
Although the [Biochemical Boss] of the advanced stage has relatively strong strength, it is rumored that this experiment has only succeeded in one case, and it seems that it is the director of the Ambrera Research Institute.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Because of the hurry, Su Jingtian and Karn walked a lot faster, and of course, the water in their backpacks was also quickly consumed.
When the time came at noon, the two walked 24 kilometers in the morning, and while it was time to eat, Su Jingtian looked at the map and said: "There are still 20 kilometers away from the Nile, and it is expected to take about 4 hours." β
Goo-goo!
Just as Su Jingtian was checking the map, there was an abnormal sound in the sky, and when he looked up, he saw a group of flying creatures that looked like fish bones appeared in the sky at some point.
"Hey, good fellow, look, boss, it's a fish! The fish of Mars can fly! Karn looked at the school of bony fish circling overhead, as if this was the first time he had learned that there were flying fish in this world.
[Red-eyed spider tip: Unknown creatures are detected, please be prepared for battle!] γ
"Damn, it's a school of bone fish, we met Akrid, run." Looking at the bone fish hovering above his head and the red-eyed spider's prompt, Su Jingtian's face changed, and he hurriedly beckoned Karn behind him to run quickly.
"Boss, what's going on?" Seeing the boss running forward in a panic, Karn was puzzled but still desperately chased after him.
Weng hum!
Shortly after Karn ran out of place with Susedum, a large, sand-gray giant arthropod emerged from underground.
"Oh, Shet!" Karn was horrified at the sight of the giant creature behind him.
Father!
Akrid is a giant praying mantis-like creature with mantis-like forelimbs and a sandy yellow body, but a faint glowing area above its tail.
Looking at the two fleeing in front of him, Akrid roared to the sky, and the group of bone fish that had been hovering in the sky rushed towards Su Sedum and Karn as if they had received an order.
