Section 9: Honkai ability

Charge with all your feet on the ground, follow your instinct to choose the most suitable angle and wave the weapon in your hand, and the little skills accumulated in the training of years of national arts club activities are automatically mapped to muscle movements.

Xu Yun only felt that under this step, the feedback given to him by the ground was a little different, but the difference was not yet had time to taste for a while, and the pulse combat knife wielded in his hand was close to the dead.

The blade sliced through the waist and abdomen from the back of the dead man, and the back blade cut through the skin and cut into the flesh, and the dragging blade easily cut its waist as if it had used the power of the dead man's dash before, and even cut deeper and harder, almost cutting in half.

Xu Yun can clearly see every detail of his swinging knife, and even feels that there is an illusion of slow motion playing in front of him.

It was only a split second that he stepped on the ground and made an emergency stop according to the expected action, but the soles of his shoes slipped on the rough asphalt surface.

Squeak squeak ~~~

Green smoke rose and the sound of scraping the ground was so sharp that it seemed like a knife scraping glass.

The sprinting power far exceeded the estimate, so he had to increase the strength of the soles of his feet, and at the same time lower his upper body to lower the center of gravity, his body instantly flipped, and when the outstretched left hand was about to touch the ground, Xu Yun was able to stop the momentum just now.

On the ground in front of him, two new shoe-soles rubbing marks several meters long were rising with cyan smoke.

The brilliant afterimage of the fiery blade of the Pulse War Knife pulled out in the air has not yet dissipated.

The dead soldier who had been slashed by the sneak attack was still continuing to attack Ouyang Luoli's swinging action, but he saw that most of its waist was suddenly disconnected, and only a little flesh and blood were left.

The movements of the upper and lower bodies instantly lost coordination, and the whole human form was like a destroyed doll. The giant bone sickle, halfway through its turn, tugged at its arms and upper body, ripping off the remaining bits of flesh that connected its waist and abdomen, and flew diagonally. The lower body, which was out of control, took half a step in accordance with the inertia of the movement, and then staggered and fell.

Purple-black blood sprayed, and intestines and broken internal organs were thrown out of the abdominal cavity. This is a common scene on the battlefield, but at this time, it is deeply imprinted in Xu Yun's pupils.

"That's what I did?" Xu Yun looked at the war knife in his hand in disbelief, the light around the blazing red blade was distorted, and there was no trace of blood. Bright and dazzling.

The imaginary number of power points on the screen in his mind was decreasing little by little, but it was only less than thirty points, and more than twenty of them were burned when he stopped to look at the battle knife.

This strengthening... It's so strong.

In the battle circle five meters away, Ouyang Luoli was wearing bloated and heavy heavy equipment and was wrestling with the dead, but her movements were not clumsy at all, and she was as dexterous as a dancing elf. He even found a gap and single-handedly blizzard mending the dead man who fell to the ground in the distance.

As the upper half of the dead man's upper body turned into ice crystals and shattered.

Ding~'s prompt sound sounded again.

Xu Yun saw that the imaginary power points that were declining rose by five points, and then quickly decreased as time passed.

Can't be wasted.

He touched the ground with his left hand and arched his body, like a sprinter at the start, and both feet kicked the ground at the same time.

The feedback from the feet was not as strong as before, but the speed was no slower than the previous all-out sprint.

The distance of five meters seemed to be close at hand, and when the second step fell, Xu Yun's steps were staggered, his body turned around according to the preset posture, and the pulse war knife danced in an almost perfect arc along the trajectory he had envisioned, drawing a red crescent.

He tried to control the force of this blow, and changed the sprint to a diagonal slash.

Xu Yun felt the resistance fed back from the front of the pulse battle blade, if cutting flesh and blood under this high-tech blade was almost cutting paper, and there was no real feel, then when the blade met the bones in the dead man's body, it was like cutting hard wood.

It's not as easy as it used to be, but it's not as effortless.

Snort~

The flesh is charred, and the bones are charred.

The dead man in the fight with Ouyang Luoli had no awareness of preventing a sneak attack at all, and just finished a slashing action, before it could pull up the scythe that cut the bone blade into most of the road, the upper body had been cut off by Xu Yun from the left waist to the right shoulder.

Bite~

This time, there is no need for Ouyang Luoli to completely annihilate the dead with a mending knife, and the power of 1 imaginary number has already arrived.

That bit of power growth just made the rapidly depleting power number slightly stunned, if it wasn't for Xu Yun's deliberate attention after hearing the ding prompt sound, he wouldn't have noticed this change.

It's a dead man who gives a little power, it's really picky.

In the chest cavity of the dead man, slashed by the sword, a crystal that shimmered purple fluorescent shattered and disintegrated, and the fragments were scattered like ice crystals, and after a few seconds of resting, they dissolved without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Xu Yun pressed the enhancement button again on the faint purple screen in his mind, and the imaginary power points that were rapidly decreasing at a rate of ten points per second finally stopped decreasing.

At this time, the residual imaginary power is 111 points.

It can also support the enhanced state for 10 seconds.

To be honest, Xu Yun now has a kind of pig Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and he has not yet tasted the changes brought by the intensification to himself, so he has to stop.

There are only so many imaginary power points, and there are no extra points to consume at all, so let yourself carefully appreciate the effect of this enhancement and promotion.

Ouyang Luoli replenished his gun, and the dead soldiers gathered around him had been annihilated by the two of them.

"You..."

She didn't point her gun at Xu Yun again, at this moment, the beautiful face that was stained with sweat in the battle, gunsmoke and dust looked a little embarrassed, full of astonishment, surprise, doubt, entanglement and... Curious.

"How did you do that? Did you use the Honkai ability just now? ”

"You think I'm a Honkai ability?" Xu Yun retracted the action of swinging the knife, and turned his attention back to reality from the imaginary number power page in his mind.

His eyes swept to the first full sprint, and when he started, the foothold of the step was sunken under a clear shoe print on the asphalt pavement, and around the shoe print, a circle of cracks spread outward like a spider web, and a few loose asphalt particles were blown away by the force of that step, leaving a few small holes in the gap.

The increase in strength brought by the strengthening was so terrifying, Xu Yun couldn't help but raise his foot, looked down at the sole, the texture of the reliable rubber boot was obviously worn and missing a layer compared to when he first got it.

"I can feel that the power suddenly released from your body resonates with the power in my body."

Ouyang Luoli said in thought while checking the residual energy of the Avalanche Energy Battery on the blizzard.

"It's a feeling I'm familiar with."

"Then the relationship between the two of us is really made in heaven and fate. Ouou, we are really a good match. Tomorrow, let's go to the temple to find a master and pick a feng shui treasure. Xu Yun showed two rows of white teeth and smiled like a sketch actor with poor acting skills.

By the way, he switched the battle mode of the Pulse War Knife back to normal mode, and the blazing red light on the blade seemed to be weak and gradually dimmed, and the residual heat took time to slowly dissipate.

"When we're acting collectively, I can often feel similar feelings when my friends use Honkai." Ouyang Luoli responded coldly, not answering Xu Yun's words at all.

Cut~

Xu Yun restrained his smile, pursed his lips, and said with a regretful expression:

"I thought it was a special induction between you and me, but it turned out to be just a big road."

"In other words, you call the mutated power of this Honkai Factor the Honkai ability?"

"At least, that's what the textbooks say." Ouyang Luoli nodded, she wanted to straighten out the long hair that was messed up in the battle, but the gap in the hand armor would also catch the filigree, so she could only give up.

Sensing some of her shallow thoughts from the link of thought, Xu Yun took the initiative to approach her and pulled out her hair sandwiched between the armor on her shoulders.

"Long hair is beautiful, but it's inconvenient to wear this kind of heavy armor, why not change your hairstyle, comb it into a bun, or tie it into a ponytail?"

Perhaps in a state of mental connection, Ouyang Luoli did not subconsciously avoid the intimate contact of this strange opposite sex, and even mistakenly thought that this was a matter of course, as if he was combing his hair.

"If it's true that there is a need to change hairstyles according to the normal process, but I'm not changing into heavy equipment that I picked up on the fly...

It was only then that she stopped talking in hindsight, glaring at Xu Yun and preparing to withdraw and open the distance.

"You... You... Stay away from me! ”

"Don't move, I haven't finished tying my ponytail yet." Xu Yun scolded as a matter of course, and raised the extra head rope for bunching hair in his hand at some point.

"Oh... Oh. Ouyang Luoli suddenly felt as if she had done something wrong, and subconsciously became more obedient.

After tying the long light blue hair into a high upturned ponytail to ensure that the strands of hair that fell down would not be caught in the gaps in the armor, Xu Yun nodded with satisfaction and took two steps back, keeping a distance from Ouyang Luoli that was not intimate or distant at all.

Why should I follow his instructions?

Ouyang Luoli realized it again, her eyes stared at the strange and familiar man in front of her with resentment, and a small flame of shame rose from the bottom of her eyes.

His cheeks and neck warmed up a little bit, and he seemed to be a little hot.

"Stay away from me, we don't know each other! You're doing something like that..." She couldn't think of the right words to describe it for a moment.

"Hey, hey, hey~ isn't it?" Xu Yun waved his hands exaggeratedly

"We fought side by side and killed so many dead soldiers together, you pretend not to know each other now, isn't it too ruthless?"

pointed to the dead soldiers lying on the asphalt road, and made a look of grievance, like a little daughter-in-law abandoned by a scumbag.

"I don't even know what your name is, and you dare to say we know each other."

"But I know your name, Ouyang Luoli, Ou Ou~" Xu Yun hooked the corners of his mouth happily.

Ouyang Luoli gritted her teeth hatefully, this is not fair.

"Lin Hai told me." Xu Yun's face became purified in vain, and he added.

"He begged me to save you before he died, and even though he knew that I was an abandoned commander, he begged me with the hope of an emergency. I was saved by his command boat, and this favor can't be changed, so I agreed. ”

Ouyang Luoli's gritted teeth and gritted her teeth with a resentful expression that froze instantly. She didn't know what to say for a long time, and there was a brief silence between the two.

The roar of guns and monsters in the surrounding neighborhood was mixed with the rumbling of buildings collapsing and heavy objects falling to the ground.

The wave of sound from the explosion was almost endless.

"He... How did he die? Ouyang Luoli lowered his head and asked in a somewhat difficult voice.

"I shot him and smashed his head." Xu Yun's voice was so flat that it looked like he was reading a text.

She nodded imperceptibly.

"That's right, this is the only way in the polluted area that you won't be eroded by the Honkai Factor and turn into a monster. The command boat crashed, the cabin lost its protection against Honkai, and all non-deviant ordinary people would be eroded and mutated into dead soldiers by the Honkai factor. ”

Her lips twitched and she whispered to herself, as if she was completely caught up in her own world, oblivious to her surroundings.

"It's the only way, and he shouldn't want to be a monster. But... Why not put on that set of heavy equipment in the maintenance cabin? It's all this time, so what's the point of being selfish..."

“··· He's not like that, I know. ”

"But you stupid person obviously can't protect yourself, and you still care about doing so much."

The muttering gradually became staccato and finally turned into a faint sigh

"I'm so stupid, I'm still complaining here when everyone is gone..."

······

Tears trickled down her cheeks, and she gritted her teeth so hard that she didn't make a sound.

Xu Yun could feel part of Ouyang Luoli's mood at this time in the thought link, and he didn't need to listen to what she said, he could understand this.

At this time, he felt that it was really to link this kind of device with his mind.

There was an urge in my heart to approach her, pat her on the shoulder, and then grab her, and lend her chest and shoulder to the other party.

Xu Yun restrained this thought, even though he knew through the thought link that she needed to do it herself at this time.

But at this time, the two are still strangers after all.

He wanted to tell Ouyang Luoli the cause of Lin Hai's death in more detail, but seeing the Valkyrie's appearance of pear blossoms and rain now, he decided to hide it all in his heart, and let it eat ashes in the brain memory area.

Click, click

Click, click

The sound of a clangling machine can be seen all around.

"The hound calls, the road ahead of Fourth Avenue is clear."

"Tibetan fox calls, there is no abnormality at observation point 2, and the road is unblocked."

"All of them, get through quickly."

"Chief, there are Valkyries in the way ahead, and men who appear to be commanders. There is a gold star on the helmet. ”

"Commander Venus? That's the elite who focuses on training, and it appears here... His command boat seemed to be finished. The man's deep voice rang out in the communication channel.

"But thanks to them, if they hadn't cleared the street, we would have been delayed even more in getting to the target."

"So many dead corpses, this girl is really amazing, did she do it herself? It seems that he is preparing for martyrdom. Now the little young is really. Another voice rang out in the channel.

The same ground six-legged vehicle that Xu Yun encountered when he killed the Chariot-class Honkai Beast earlier appeared on the corner of the street.

The wheels rolled against the asphalt road and rolled rapidly, the six knots made an almost perfect coordination at the corner of the street, the vehicle as a whole maintained its balance in a posture with a large inclination angle, and the six wheels firmly grasped the ground, carrying it through the corner without losing almost any speed, and drove at high speed into the street that had been emptied by Xu Yun and Ouyang Luoli.

Hexapod emerged from street corners one after another, marching in a centipede-like procession, all of which looked like mechanical legs on wheels.

On each side of the building, a six-legged vehicle with a significantly lighter and more agile body appeared on each side, which climbed from the side wall of the building like a gecko, and then jumped to the ground at a height of more than ten meters.

As it approached the ground, the attitude engine under the cockpit erupted eight blue tongues of fire, and after slightly slowing down the momentum of the fall, the six mechanical joints fell to the ground in turn, and then immediately switched to wheel mode to keep up with the advancing team.

The all-six-legged team made no noise other than the sound of wheels scraping against the ground, and the idea of drones would have been given the impression that they were drones had it not for the different weapons on the automatic turrets on top of the cabins.

In fact, in the polluted area, all other means of human communication except physical lines are disabled.

Even if there is an unmanned combat technology that is close to maturity, it is impossible to complete the command and dispatch. Automatic combat weapons controlled by limited artificial intelligence are also affected by the Honkai Factor, and control is usurped by some high-level Honkai monster.

The team that suddenly broke into this block quickly drove past Xu Yun and the others, and one of the vehicles, which was obviously more armored and firepower than the other vehicles, left the team and stopped in front of Xu Yun and the others.

Xu Yun looked at the big guy in front of him who was half a head taller than himself with only one mechanical leg, matte gray-blue urban camouflage coating, cold and hard armor lines, fine and dense mechanical structure, and hideous and fierce cannon barrel.

Outside of the vehicle is a silver wolf's head icon and 01 designation.

He rubbed his chin, really wanting to grab one and drive it around.

The loudspeaker of the vehicle sounded, and the thick male voice that made people feel safe when they heard the sound said, "Salute." Thank you for clearing this street so that we can pass it quickly. Please forgive me for not being able to salute and thank you in person. If there is anything we can do to help you, please feel free to ask. ”

The vehicle's automatic turret nodded in a salute, its front legs slightly lowered, and it looked like it was bending down.

Not to mention, it looks quite chic.

"Na Na ~ This is what you said, I'm not welcome." Xu Yun smiled and rubbed his hands quickly, like a green-headed fly.

Someone in the vehicle······
