Chapter 16: Spiders
Tick, tick –
Water was dripping from the ceiling.
Shirahoshi rummaged through the computer, and there was no other information other than this email.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound.
The sound was incomparably subtle, but it was so clear and loud in this dead silence that it frightened Bai Xing's heart, and he looked back sharply—
Nothing.
"It's weird, could it be a mouse?"
Shirahoshi looked at the computer screen again, making a look of concentration.
Immediately, he snapped and turned off the computer.
This time, he saw, through the blackened computer screen, Shirahoshi saw the face of a man hanging upside down.
The scarlet-glowing electronic eyes filled the man's face with six of them, from the sockets to the temples, signaling danger.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Bai Xing, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately summoned a stand-in and hit the man's face with a backhand elbow blow!
Knock –
The man flew out upside down in an instant, knocking down a shelf, and the clanging sounds were connected into a string.
After that, the entire factory returned to a dead silence.
"No movement? Shouldn't it? ”
Shirahoshi didn't act rashly, he thought that he couldn't take this man directly with the attack just now.
Sure enough, the next second the whirring sound of breaking the air sounded behind his head, and before he had time to think about it, the white star rolled on the spot and flashed again.
And it was only then that Shirahoshi saw the man's full picture.
I saw the man in front of him crawling on the ground, his body limbs were long gone, replaced by a black metal implant skeleton.
Boy.
Bai Xing couldn't help but sigh, the guy in front of him only had a head left, and it was strange if he wasn't crazy.
Do you think everyone is Adam's hammer?
Seeing that his attack didn't work, the man slammed off the ground!
His body then twisted one hundred and eighty degrees in the air, causing his life-length prosthetic limbs to fall to the ceiling, and finally crawled on the ceiling!
His figure was even more like a fish in water on it, and the four prosthetic arms crawled one after another, extremely fast, and for a moment he disappeared into the darkness again.
Then, with a whoosh—
"It's ...... Not good! ”
At the last moment, Shirahoshi turned his head, and a few strands of hair were shaved off and slowly fell on his shoulders.
"Monolithic threads!"
The monomolecular threads are extremely sharp, and they can easily twist the flesh into pieces, and if Bai Xing was hit by the one just now, I am afraid that he will be in a different place now.
"Here we go again!"
The extremely thin monomolecular threads kept flicking from the darkness, and they were constantly dodged by Shirahoshi, but he knew that if he continued like this, he was only consuming his physical strength in vain.
"Platinum Star!"
After dodging a single thread again, Shirahoshi immediately activated the time-stop.
While the thread had not yet been retracted, Shirahoshi kicked his feet and went straight to the end of this single thread, although he couldn't see the specific position of the man, but as long as he could touch it along the thread-
"Got ......"
However, at this moment, the alarm bell with a premonition of danger sounded in Shirahoshi's heart.
The end he touched along the line was not the man, but a small spider robot with a three-legged head supporting a small round ball!
Shirahoshi was suddenly shocked in his heart.
"Am I being tricked? The man...... Are you crazy and still have a fighting instinct......"
"Damn, where is he? Are you ambushing me? Shirahoshi's eyes swept around, searching for the man's figure.
Judging from his previous behavior pattern, just like a bionic spider, he shouldn't give up the ceiling easily, then it seems to be as familiar as his hometown, so to speak, on it!
…… Is it?
Shirahoshi looked up sharply, and to his disappointment, the man's figure did not appear anywhere, but the danger did not diminish at all.
Several small spider robots spit out monomolecular threads and weave a grid to envelop him from top to bottom!
Two seconds passed, and at this time, the white star in the sky had nowhere to move again, and the time stopped and was in the cooling, seeing that he was about to become a piece of pieces, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted in his heart:
"Platinum Star!"
"Ora!"
A stand-in appeared beside him, raising his muscular arm and punching it out.
Boom!
The fist hit Shirahoshi in the stomach, causing his body to instantly arch like a shrimp, but at the same time, it also gave him the strength to escape!
Shirahoshi's body flew out in an instant, hitting a container, causing pain in his back.
"Ahem...... It really hurts...... Obviously, I've already collected my strength......"
Before Shirahoshi could get up from the ground, he retched twice in a row, and the punch just now was so suspended that he had no bile to shoot out.
It was also thanks to his strength, otherwise he would have been directly pierced, but the good news is that he successfully escaped from under the monomolecular line grid.
It's just a little bit of a millimeter.
Bai Xing couldn't help frowning when he looked at his feet, the sole of one of his right shoes seemed to have been completely shaved off!
Taking a few deep breaths, Shirahoshi finally recovered from the moment he had just received, and he stood up with his stomach clutched, his gaze constantly scanning the ceiling.
The man's figure was still in the shadows, while he was in the light, and the situation was obviously unfavorable to him.
"It's so dark there, it's so bad for me, mortal, I can't see where he is."
Shirahoshi couldn't help but think.
"I've got to find a way to find his place."
Just as Shirahoshi was thinking about what to do, a cold, hard object touched his right foot.
Upon closer inspection, Shirahoshi discovered that it was a small spider robot's small round ball head.
The little round ball rolled to his feet, then suddenly opened and split in half, and one of the grenades was in sight!
"Wang Defa!"
Shirahoshi couldn't help but curse angrily, and then kicked into a rage, kicking on the grenade that had been pulled apart.
Rumble!
The grenade is kicked out by Shirahoshi and explodes in a far corner.
A drop of cold sweat flowed down from the corner of Shirahoshi's forehead, and with the help of the fire from the explosion just now, he rarely saw the appearance of the factory now.
The man—was crawling on the wall across from him, his head pointing to the ground, and the little spiders were crawling out of the man's mouth one by one, and then crawling towards themselves.
Goosebumps surged up on Bai Xing's body, and he really didn't want to evaluate this scene, he only felt that his scalp was numb.
Leaving aside how the little spider came to be, Shirahoshi now has a bunch of troublesome self-destructors waiting for him to deal with.
Deadly close-range explosions had always been his biggest headache, something he had first learned from Hawley.
Shirahoshi fumbled around him, then summoned the "Platinum Star", grabbed the board next to him, and threw it in the direction of the little spiders.
The board flew out and indeed smashed a large area, but it was only a drop in the bucket for the swarm of spider-like machine self-destructors.
The front one was smashed away, and the back would still fill the holes in the formation one after another, and even after being hit, they just turned a few times backwards, and there were a few more white marks on their bodies, and they immediately returned to the team that was fighting for the white star.
Thanks to the technology of an unknown company, Shirahoshi was able to destroy the spider-soldiers with a chopping board, but he was unable to destroy the grenades in them to detonate them.
Of course, it is also possible that the board is too large and the resistance it receives after flying out is also large, which weakens its speed, causing the board to only smash the spider robot, and fail to affect the grenade that is protected in its skull.
Effective, but inefficient.
And soon, everything that Shirahoshi could throw out to delay time had already been thrown away by him.
But the stumbling in front of him, countless objects crawling, and the creepy sound never stopped for a moment.
At this moment, Shirahoshi suddenly thought of something and touched his lower back.
There, a night-time pistol was pinned to his waist.
This was the one Mann had given him in his previous mission, and even though he wouldn't use it, he had it with him.
He pulled out his pistol and immediately thought about it.
Stop starting.
I saw Shirai jump into the air one by one, and at the same time, his hands kept moving, and the hands of "Platinum Star" clasped the center line of the pistol, and then slammed it both sides.
The whole pistol was split in half in an instant, and all kinds of delicate metal parts in it floated out and floated in front of his eyes.
And what he was staring at were the yellow bullets that were scattered together.
