【System Information:】

[You have been affected by the "Death Code Virus". 】

The systematic text appeared in his mind, and Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.

When he doesn't have a Dead Steel Soldier, he only has the negative effect of "Silence Field" on his "Status Bar".

But when the Dead Steel Soldier came out of the ground, the negative effect on the "status bar" appeared "Death Code Virus".

In this way, the Dead Steel Soldier is the vector and source of infection of the "death-coded virus", and those "humans" who are systematically defined as "human torches" do not transmit the virus.

Li Nuo always felt that there was some deep connotation in this, but he didn't have a deep understanding of things such as "dead steel" and "human torch", so he couldn't say why.

Now is not a good time to lament that there are no assassination angels around him, after witnessing the picture of the dead steel soldier walking out of the subway entrance, Li Nuo has some guesses in his heart, waiting for him to verify.

"Noreen, let's go into the underpass. With my invisible magic, the machine spirit will not be discovered. ”

"Yes, sir."

Noreen gathered the mechanical spirits scattered throughout the city and reunited with Li Nuo to cover the entrance of the subway.

At the beginning of the trip, Noreen chatted with Li Nuo, who had never experienced city life before, about the various facilities in the city.

Buildings, water tanks and solar facilities on rooftops, telecommunications equipment, roadside wires and transformers, etc., all of which Li Nuo could not directly say she knew, were all introduced by Noreen.

Like the subway entrance that the two of them stepped into at this time, Noreen described it as a kind of railroad that passes quickly underground, except that the vehicles on the railway are not trains, but trams.

Li Nuo listened patiently and did not refute Noreen's kindness.

The two chatted and walked, and gradually, Noreen discovered that the machine she was controlling was abnormal.

"Sir, the machine spirits are a little weird, they seem to be a little disobedient."

Li Nuo nodded thoughtfully, examined it with deconstruction, and said:

"It's the "death coding virus" that made the hell. The virus is transforming metal automatons into dead steel soldiers. However, non-metallic automatons do not exhibit this symptom. ”

"So what now? Do I need to destroy all the metal robots? Noreen asked.

Li Nuo waved his hand and said:

"No, it's not a big problem for the time being. I estimate that within three hours, the metal machine will be fairly reliable and will not be completely controlled by the virus. ”

Noreen was relieved.

Looking around, the subway ticket hall has only a few dilapidated wall lamps emitting a faint light.

There were no signs of battle, it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the ground was neatly covered with the footprints of dead steel soldiers, and there was no sign of small animals or insects.

The dust in the air floated slowly in the light, creeping like countless small insects.

Under the protection of the "Veil of the Otherworld (Imitation)", Li Nuo and the mechanical spirits around him did not get excited, and directly passed through this PM2.5 explosion area, and walked down the stairs to the platform.

On one side of the platform was a car parked in what Noreen described as a subway train.

Similarly, the train with its white shell was badly damaged, not a single piece of the windshield was intact, and the trunk was covered in broken glass and dust.

Judging by the footprints on the ground, the dead steel soldiers who were patrolling the city on the ground were all sitting in the first five carriages of the train.

After they got out of the car, they went straight upstairs without lingering.

Li Nuo sensed the situation in the rest of the carriages, and his heart accelerated slightly.

The remaining fifteen carriages were filled with dead steel soldiers.

They sat on the benches on either side of the carriage, silent and silent.

The Dead Steel Soldiers in Sections 6 to 10 were just ordinary goods, but from the 11th section onwards, the Dead Steel Soldiers in the carriage were visibly taller, like low hills entrenched on benches, and one person occupied at least three seats.

If you look at the 15th to 20th carriages, they are not filled with dead steel soldiers, but ammunition, firearms, artillery, and throwing objects.

"Is this a train to inspect the city, or is it a troop carrier?"

Li Nuo was a little confused and couldn't find the route map on the platform.

said that this car is a special train for inspection, but the firepower on this train is a bit too strong.

Say it's a troop carrier, so why walk around the city where the "root server" is located?

Li Nuo didn't quite understand the internal arrangements of Dead Steel for a while.

It's a lot like finding a suitable target, dismantling the opponent's iron skull, and unleashing a deconstruction spell on the Death Protocol cube in it, and getting the results of the solution such as the "Instruction Book".

However, the negative impact of the "Silent Force Field" dispelled Li Nuo's thoughts and made him dare not act rashly.

Li Nuo stood outside the train and pondered for half a minute, and finally decided to find a suitable place at the top of the train to take it with him, and see if the train could take him there.

After waiting for about three minutes, Li Nuo patted his head and realized that he was a little stupid.

It can take an hour or more for a patrol on the ground to walk through the entire city.

Instead of waiting here for an hour, you can walk straight down the railway to the next stop.

Li Nuo and Nolin discussed, and the two of them each controlled a group of mechanical spirits, walked to the upstream and downstream of the railway, and acted separately, keeping communication at all times.

Li Nuo chose the direction of the front of the train, and Noreen walked along the direction of the rear of the train.

Ten minutes later, Noreen was the first to hear the news.

"Sir, I seem to be the barracks of the Death Steel Legion here."

Li Nuo throws the "Psychic Vision" at Noreen and uses magic to see the other party's perspective.

On the ground floor of a large shopping mall, the cupboards of the shops have been torn down, and rows of dead steel soldiers are pestled there like wooden men.

The entire basement floor was densely packed with dead steel soldiers, and there was no end in sight.

"Don't alarm them, keep going." Li Nuo said.

Noreen steers the machine back to the subway and to the next station.

After a while, Li Nuo found that there was no railway, and the station where the train stopped was the bottom station.

He returned the same way, passed the train again, and went to make peace with the machine spirit controlled by Noreen.

At this time, Noreen had already arrived at the third stop.

"Sir, this place is a bit like a factory."

"Factory?"

"Yes, yes." Noreen's voice was a little more surprised:

"Aren't you looking for anti-magic materials? I've seen a number of Dead Steel soldiers placing a black metal material on the conveyor belt, which may be an anti-magic material. ”

Leno sped up as he used his "Psychic Vision" to observe what Noreen saw.

As Noreen said, this place is definitely a military factory.

As soon as you emerge from the train platform, you're greeted by an extremely expansive underground space filled with conveyor belts, robotic arms, metal pipes, and orderly dead steel soldiers.

Li Nuo aimed at the black metal material on the conveyor belt and threw the deconstruction, and then grinned.

Hey, it's not a coincidence.

It's really an anti-magic material, and it's a very good quality.

Li Nuo looked at the dead steel soldiers who were carrying anti-magic materials, and followed the other party and the others into the doorway at the edge of the underground space.

That's where anti-magic materials are stockpiled.

In a short period of time, several plans to steal anti-magic materials converged in Li Nuo's mind.

Before he could weigh the pros and cons of each plan, several figures that were incompatible with the Dead Steel Soldier appeared in his magical vision.

It was a group of men dressed in wizards' robes, with hoods and masks as standard.

The gang entered the factory unhindered, casting spells in front of a crowd of Dead Steel soldiers, flying lightly over the conveyor belt.

They scattered around, placing hidden spell markers in various corners of the factory, the purpose of which was unknown, perhaps to oversee the work of the Dead Steel soldiers.

After putting the spell markers, they swarmed into the warehouse where the anti-magic materials were stored, and they didn't know what they were doing inside.

When Leno arrived, the wizards emerged from the warehouse, left the factory, entered the platform, and flew along the railroad to the next station.

During the whole process, all the wizards did not say a word and cooperated tacitly.

Noreen speculated that the group might have a "telepathic" style of communication, which is why they are so quiet.

Leno uses deconstruction to sweep through the oddly behaved wizards and reap the fruits of understanding, confirming Noreen's suspicions.

"Well, you're right, a wizard team of such a style of behavior will inevitably use stealthy methods of communication."

Li Nuo said calmly:

"They're supposed to be metal wizards, either from the Holarley Guild or members of the Glittering Gold Society... Wait, let me think about what to do next. ”

Noreen manipulated the machine spirit and waited quietly.

Li Nuo carefully read the results of the solution in his mind.

The group of wizards just now were indeed metal wizards, there were ten people in total, all of them were from the Shimmering Gold Society, and the minimum strength was seven rings, all of them were battle wizards.

They are completely unaffected by the Silence Field and can use spells normally.

They first set up spell markers in the factory, then entered the warehouse and manipulated dozens of anti-magic metal ingots in order to find out the thieves who had stolen the soul gems.

Metal Progenitor Dragon Tulsali deduced that the thieves who stole the soul gems would definitely come to steal the anti-magic materials, and that the white progenitor dragon was behind all of this.

And the imaginary thief of Tursali...

After reading the results of the explanation, Li Nuo was happy that the assassination angel had really misled Tulsali.

Tarthala had always believed that it was the Shadow Executioner who stole the Soul Gem, not the Angel.

The spell markers placed in the factory, as well as the anti-magic metal ingots of the magic traps, are all aimed at shadow energy.

Li Nuo now swaggered in, relying on the "Veil of the Otherworld" to steal the anti-magic materials, and there will be no spell marks and magic traps at all.

Furthermore, he was able to avoid the problematic anti-magic metal ingots on the premise that he had already solved them.

Isn't that the goal of this trip achieved?

"Isn't that a little too easy..."

Li Nuo touched his brain, and always felt that there was fraud in it, and it was a vicious fraud.

"No, no, I have to be cautious, there must be some danger that I haven't discovered."

Li Nuo told Noreen to stay vigilant, and he devoted himself to observing the factory.

Conveyor belts, robotic arms, dead steel soldiers, etc., everything that appeared in the factory was examined by Li Nuo with deconstruction.

All fine.

But the worry in Li Nuo's heart did not diminish in the slightest.

He examined the factory over and over again, and didn't stop until a train appeared on the platform.

The group of dead steel that had gone to check the root server had returned and joined the factory in production.

When Li Nuo looked at them, he suddenly had an idea to launch a deconstruction technique towards the carriage of the subway train!

"Hey, is that old in Tulsali so insidious?!"

Li Nuo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Of the 20 train carriages, 3 were controlled by Tulsali, containing a small portion of the will of the Metal Progenitor.

Li Nuo's gaze shifted, deconstructing the walls, floors, ceilings, and even door frames of the factory one by one.

Normally, such things would never have become the object of Li Nuo's deconstruction, because they were so ordinary.

But now, Li Nuo found with a solemn expression that the entire factory had become the "belly" of the metal progenitor dragon!

All the walls were contained by Thalsali, forming an encirclement that invited the king into the urn.

As long as there is the slightest abnormality in the anti-magic materials in the warehouse, the entire factory will instantly turn into a cage that traps the thieves.

The Caged Dead Steel Soldiers will be dispatched like a flood beast to help Tulsali tear apart the thieves.

Li Nuo didn't have the confidence to fight so many enemies head-on, not to mention that there were at least ten combat metal wizards above the seventh ring in this underground space.

At this moment, there is no need to think too much, Li Nuo knows in his heart that this is a dead end exclusively for thieves.

Whether the thief is a shadow executioner or not, it is absolutely impossible to escape.

"Retreat, Noreen. Let's get out of here first. ”

Seeing Li Nuo's serious face, Nolin didn't ask, and controlled the mechanical spirit to protect Li Nuo and slowly retreated.

Led by Li Nuo, the two avoided the train, crossed the platform, and followed the tracks back to the city where the root server was located.

After Li Nuo returned to the ground, he deconstructed all the big and small things such as high-rise buildings, street lamps and street signs.

Okay, good, good metal progenitor, play like this, right?

Tulsali wasn't tired.

Everything in the city that was touched by metal had an abnormality, and all of them became the objects of control of the metal progenitor.

This all happened after Li Nuo entered the subway, and it was clear that the Metal Ancestral Dragon and the group of metal wizards had just arrived.

It's also thanks to Li Nuo who has been hiding his head and showing his tail, uh no, he has always been meticulous, and has always used the "Veil of the Otherworld (Imitation)" to protect himself and the mechanical spirit, otherwise he would have been discovered by Talsali a long time ago.

"No, I can't steal anti-magic materials in this situation, isn't this self-defeating?"

Li Nuo withdrew the mechanical spirit beside him and flew towards the transparent barrier that surrounded the city, passing through the small hole in the barrier and coming to the outside of the city.

He looked at the dead silence of the city and felt the malice and insidiousness hidden in it.

"I'll have to find a way to muddy the water before I can find a chance to steal the anti-magic materials..."
