Volume II, Level 1. Doomsday Chapter 72. In succession
"He's right in front of me, but I can't save him."
Chen Qi looked at the crumbs, he couldn't tell how he felt now, there was no sadness or joy, the whole person was empty, he didn't have any thoughts, just muttered something unconsciously in his mouth, muttering something he didn't know what he was talking about.
Lu Xiu patted Chen Qi on the shoulder, looking at Chen Qi's appearance, Lu Xiu's heart was even more painful, and he continued sourly: "Chen Qi, we, it's really time to go." β
It took Chen Qi a long time before he looked away from the pile of residual value fragments with difficulty, if it weren't for Lu Xiu calling out to him, Chen Qi might have been staring at the pile of debris stupidly. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Lu Xiu, he was stunned for a long time before he understood the meaning of what Lu Xiu said, Chen Qi's clenched fist tightened and loosened, and finally he just nodded silently.
"I'll go to the back and protect you."
When the few people were back on the road, Chen Qi walked straight to the back of the line and said to Bai Lu and Tang Ling.
Looking at Chen Qi's current state, Bai Lu couldn't stop worrying, she obviously felt that Chen Qi's body began to emit an auraβa breath of death. Before Bai Lu could say that he disagreed with Chen Qi's approach, Lu Xiu grabbed her arm and shook his head at her.
Bai Lu was entangled again and again, but after all, he didn't say a word.
The lights in the confinement room were still on, and the door was in the distance, very close, and Lu Xiu and the others hurriedly stepped up to leave this nightmarish place.
The confinement chamber was not as harmless as it seemed, and many dangers were flowing in the shadows, just waiting to be taken by surprise.
"It's almost there."
Looking at the door getting closer and closer, Lu Xiu's tense emotions finally relaxed a little, he said with some joy, and took out the magnetic card in his pocket.
And at the moment when he took out the magnetic card, a long mechanical arm suddenly burst out of the corner, grabbing his ankle before Lu Xiu could react.
Lu Xiu only felt a pain in his ankle, and then his whole body seemed to be paralyzed, unable to move, just as the mechanical arm pulled hard, Lu Xiu's whole person leaned back because of inertia, and the magnetic card in his hand flew out.
"Magnetic card!"
Lu Xiu shouted in a hurry, but his numb body left him without the strength to grab the card that flew out again.
Just when the mechanical arm was about to drag Lu Xiu away, there was a "bang", and the iron rod smashed the writhing body of the mechanical arm violently, the long metal pipe twisted and retracted into the corner, and the mechanical hand that buckled the ankle opened weakly and fell to the ground.
Lu Xiu got up from the ground and shouted at the figure who ran out to pick up the magnetic card: "Chen Qi! β
"Stay there and protect them!"
At the moment when Chen Qi was heading towards the magnetic card that flew away, mechanical arms sprang out from all the hidden corners around him, flying towards Chen Qi in a hurry.
Countless metal pipes quickly shuttled, surrounding Chen Qi's whole person, and his figure was gradually covered by metal pipes, cutting off Lu Xiu's way to get close to him.
Lu Xiu wanted to step forward to help, but the paralysis in his body had not completely dissipated, and Tang Ling was still squatting beside him and hurriedly treated him, replenishing the energy that was instantly sucked out in Lu Xiu's body.
It seems that the mechanical arm only brought a slight paralysis to Lu Xiu, but in fact, the metal arm that held Lu Xiu's ankle was directly poked into the flesh and injected with a toxin, which would continue to devour the energy in the body of the captured test subject until it sucked the test subject into a human body.
"Damn it! What the hell is this place! β
Lu Xiu pounded the floor angrily, Muka had just died, and now Chen Qi was surrounded by this sudden strange arm, if this continued, none of them would be able to leave this underground alive.
"Lu Xiu! Behind! β
Bai Lu on the side saw the familiar mechanical arm appear behind Lu Xiu again, the silver arm flickered with a merciless cold light under the white light, it spun its head and rushed towards Lu Xiu's face door excitedly.
"Bang!"
The sharp claws were only a centimeter away from Lu Xiu's eyeballs, and his eyes widened, looking at the immature and white hand, and easily grasped the huge mechanical arm in front of him.
Tang Ling frowned, she pinched the torso of the mechanical arm hard, the metal skin was pinched and changed shape, making a "click" sound, and the mechanical arm that was physically destroyed by Tang Ling fell to the ground with a "bang" at the moment when Tang Ling let go of her hand.
These successive mechanical arms really made Tang Ling feel annoyed, she stood up, looked at the mechanical arms flying out of her surroundings, stretched out her hand, and waited.
But in the next second, Tang Ling, who was about to strike again, suddenly stumbled, and the mechanical arm grazed her body, cutting off the corners of her clothes, and plunged heavily into the floor.
Tang Ling's whole person seemed to be pressed the pause button, her breathing became rapid again, and her serious fear continued to amplify.
Here it is again, this is the case again, and it is the same when I just wanted to help Muka!
Tang Ling froze in place again, her face did not see the slightest abnormality, but her trembling body and limbs that could no longer move showed that Tang Ling was wrong at this time.
It was the same when the wooden card was in the glass room before, Tang Ling wanted to use her ability again, but in the next second, her whole person seemed to be stuck, standing stiffly in place, trembling uncontrollably, and inexplicably unable to move.
Bound by a nameless energy, she couldn't resist the energy, this energy seemed to be light and fluttering, but it stuck to her body like glue, and she couldn't shake it off.
It's just that everyone's attention was on Muka at that time, and they didn't notice the strangeness of Tang Ling standing aside, and this time, Bai Lu and Lu Xiu clearly saw Tang Ling's changes, and those waving mechanical arms flew towards Tang Ling again, but she just stood there straight and straight, without any reaction.
"Tang Ling!"
Lu Xiu hurriedly urged the flames in his hand to throw them at the flying mechanical arms, the mechanical arms hit by the flames did not reduce the speed at which it rushed towards Tang Ling, with the bonus of flames, with the blazing heat, it seemed to manifest into a fire snake, and the highly poisonous letter shouted and prepared to devour Tang Ling in front of him.
Finished!
Tang Ling closed her eyes in fright.
Lu Xiu and Bai Lu were also stunned in place, and they could only watch as that thing got closer and closer to Tang Ling.
The next moment, it came to an abrupt end.
"I'm the best at fighting metal."
could already feel the hot temperature in front of her, Tang Ling's cheeks were burned red, and the fluttering mechanical arm was no longer qualified to shout, but unfortunately fell to the ground and did not move.
The magnetic card seemed to be spiritual, and it flew freely in the air, bypassing Tang Ling and Bai Lu who were standing, and finally landed firmly in Lu Xiu's hands.
Everyone watched as Chen Qi slowly walked out of the encirclement of the mechanical arm, walking steadily, towards Tang Ling and the others, and said calmly.
