Chapter 426: Beacon (1)
The strength of each researcher attacking from the front passage is equivalent to a person with an ability of about the fifth to sixth order. Zero, the eighth order, is fully capable of dealing with them, but there are quite a few Derivations, and Zero needs to protect Beonlis. Coupled with the special environment they are in now, after leaving this passage, until they arrive at the central control room. In between the two was an open area, with no terrain such as straight lines restricting the researcher's movements, and while Zero could protect herself, Beonise was in danger.
With an automatic rifle in her hand, Beonise would never be able to deal with the researchers coming from all directions. Therefore, Zero decided to keep the researcher at the end of the passage.
Beon-Lis, if she is only intelligent, is by no means below zero, or even more than zero. Zero told her to run to the central control room, and at first she only subconsciously followed Zero's instructions, but after running some distance, she also saw the door of the control room facing the passage, and the red emergency lights on it were flashing. Beonise immediately realized that there was a backup energy source, and when there was energy, she realized that there was still some function in the control room.
Important buildings such as the central control room usually have their own independent defense systems and weapon platforms to prevent the base from being easily attacked by foreign enemies. The central control room is not only capable of scheduling the whole situation, but also serves as a fortress in the base. As Beonise approached, she saw two miniature machine guns hanging from the gate. But the weapon systems have stopped working, and they have now been reduced to decorations.
Outside the gate lay a number of dried corpses, one of them lying on the side of the door. Judging from the posture, it should be that when the base is in danger, the staff wants to take refuge in the central control room. But the gates have been shut, leaving them alone to face the dangerous and brutal base Shijie.
Fierce gunfire had already sounded in the rear, and from time to time there was a loud explosion of a torrent of energy. Beonliz knew that Zero had already fought those monsters, and she knew that she couldn't waste Zero's time, so Beonliz reached out and pulled the dried corpse away from the door, despite the disgust in her heart. She quickly inspected the gate, which was made of thick armor alloy, a material that could withstand the impact of missiles.
Without the right approach, it is almost impossible to violently breach the gate from the outside. In fact, the criss-crossing claw marks on the gate speak volumes. Beonlise turned her head to look around, sweeping across the ground with corpses. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a dried corpse not far to the left of the gate.
The male corpse lay on the ground, propping up his upper body with one hand and reaching forward with the other, trying to catch something. Unfortunately, a steel bar passed through his waist and nailed to the ground, making all his efforts in vain.
Looking from the angle of the dried corpse, there is a small identity detection screen on the outside of the gate. Methods such as this type of detection are mainly used to scan the pupil or palm print of the subject with a laser to determine the identity of the subject. Beonlis's heart moved, and she ran over and grabbed the arm of the man's corpse. She pulled hard, and there was a thud, but Beonise fell to the ground.
She still clutched half of her stump in her hand, and the dried corpse had lost any water, and the corpse was already extremely fragile, but it made Beonlise break it with a pull. Beonlise hurriedly ran to the door with this half of her arm, and after wiping the dust off the surface of the detection screen, she was pleased to find that the data was still beating in the screen.
The detection screen was still working, and Beonlise pressed the large open palm on the stump arm to the detection screen. The data on the detection screen flashed rapidly, and then an electronic synthesized speaker sounded, "Welcome, Dr. Callahan." ”
As the synthesized sound faded away, the doors of the control room, which had been closed for decades, slowly reopened. Beonise was overjoyed, turned her head to Zero and shouted, "Come on, the door is open!"
Zero could no longer calmly use those two revolvers.
Although the power of the revolver is good, it is only when facing a small number of enemies that its advantages can be highlighted. Now there are more enemies, and the speed and movement patterns have been significantly improved by a notch. The point fire of the revolver was completely inappropriate for the current situation, so Zero abandoned them and materialized them in favor of a civilian-military and miniature submachine gun.
From the moment Beonrith walked towards the central control, the gun in Zero's hand did not stop firing for a moment. During the muzzle fire tongue spray, the bullets turned into a dense stream of fire, and the trajectory of the bullet was constantly corrected under the calculation of the environment and the opponent's movement trajectory, so that the muzzle spray of fire enveloped the area 30 meters in front of the body.
Breaking into this area is definitely a heavy price.
But no matter what, Zero has only one person and only one gun. No matter how dense the line of fire is, no matter how accurate the calculation is, there will be omissions. So once in a while, one or two of them broke into the firing area, and they had to rely on the saber in Zero's other hand to solve it.
The researcher is like a killing machine, the bone knife between his elbows and the mouthparts in his palms are all sharp weapons for killing. And the tentacles behind them are even more unguardable, the attack patterns of these things can be far or near, and with the advantage in numbers, even if the zero rank is far above them, they have to wake up twelve points of spirit to deal with it.
At this point, a researcher broke into Zero's line of fire, and swept towards Zero while avoiding it. But in the next moment, there was suddenly no shadow of zero in his eyes. Zero simply shifted sideways, flashing out of the researcher's gaze with his saber in hand. The saber staggered past the researcher with a cold light, and the researcher swooped three meters, tilted his head when he landed, and then rolled to the ground.
But I don't know when, I have been beheaded by Zero.
Based on the natural connection between the derivative body and the main body, Cod in a room on the base suddenly shuddered all over. He erupted a series of incomprehensible syllables from his throat, which then turned into a long laugh. Zuihou gasped, "Wonderful! Accurately calculate the opponent's movements, and exchange the minimum force for the maximum lethality, what a man who is so calm that people are scared. ”
Behind Kode, dozens more pipes were disconnected. Realizing that the same number of Derivations were released by Kod, Kede said to the Derivants who kept walking by, "Go ahead, get as much genetic information as you can about that man." I can't believe it, in less than half a day, I have already felt a clear evolution. If I kill this man, maybe I'll really evolve into the perfect creature that Carrahan used to say!"
Little did Zero know that a new derivation was coming. A mysterious symbol was floating and spinning in the depths of his right eye, which represented the Golden Right Eye's third-order ability "Prophet" in full operation. With this ability, the actions that the researcher will perform are simulated in his mind. It's just that the number of researchers is quite large, and the simulated data is huge.
Even though the researcher was below zero, in just a few minutes, Zero had already felt a splitting headache and knew that he had reached the limit of his abilities.
A researcher fell from the ceiling above his head towards Zero, and in the eyes of the derive, Zero was focused on the battle ahead, seemingly unaware of his presence. But when he was about to pounce on Zero, Zero seemed to have a prescience, and the lightning slid back a little, causing the researcher to fall to the ground. He was about to bounce up, but Zero had already stepped on him, followed by the dagger, and smashed directly into the oval-shaped organ in his skull, stopping all his movements.
And during this whole process, Zero didn't even look at him.
This is a derivative act that the Prophet was able to capture, and the symbol in the pupil of Zero's right eye flashed twice, and finally disappeared. At this time, there were still about ten derivatives left. As for the rest of the researchers, they are corpses at the foot of Zero.
After killing the researcher at his feet, Zero hears Beonlis's cries. He immediately turned around and ran, and the wind behind him was loud, but it was Yanqi who chased after him. It's just that in terms of speed, they are nowhere near as fast as zero. Using the ability to shadow jump, after a few flickers, Zero has come to the door. He pulled Beonlise into the door, and the latter pressed the button on the side of the door to close the door.
Zero held the machine gun flat, and his fingers pulled the trigger at a constant speed. The researchers wanted to storm the central control room, so they resorted to a straight-line attack, which invisibly restricted their movements, creating an invisible "passage". In this passage, where the muzzle of the zero gun is pointed, is where death is. A bullet hole will suddenly appear in the center of the eyebrow of a researcher who will roll several times when he falls to the ground due to inertia, and Zuihou will become one of the corpses on the ground.
When the gate was completely closed, at least eight researchers died on the death passage. But these things are not afraid, they are not afraid of death. They only faithfully carry out the instructions given by Kord, even after Zero they hide in the central control room. The two remaining researchers are still outside the gate, using their bone knives and tentacles in vain to leave some new marks on the gate.
Zero lowered her gun, and Beonise looked at the closed alloy door. Then she laughed and whispered something out of her mouth. Zero pricked up his ears before he heard Beonise say "It's exciting".
Probably because she said it was a foul language, Beonise didn't say it out loud, after all, it was against her usual literacy.
Keeping the researcher out, Beonise breathed a sigh of relief. took a few steps back, but suddenly it seemed like it had hit someone. She jerked around and lifted her automatic rifle, only to give her Zero hand a grip on the barrel.
"It's okay, it can't hurt you. Zero smiled and laughed.
With the tactical lights on her shoulders, Beonlise saw a tall corpse behind her. Judging from the clothing, it should be a man, wearing a strict military uniform, and countless military insignia pinned to his chest. But unlike the dried corpse outside, this corpse has been skeletonized, the flesh and skin have dissolved, and only a skeleton remains. But this person must have been very arrogant in his life, otherwise how would he still maintain his standing posture after death.
was just hit by Beonlis, and all arrogance was wiped out. The corpse fell to the ground with a thud, bones falling apart, and a cloud of dust shook up, choking Beonlise and coughing.
Zero looked at the military uniform on the corpse was well-made, and there was no damage at all. You're not welcome at the moment, so I took it off and put it on myself, and finally bid farewell to the embarrassing image of the panty man. After putting on the military uniform, Zero made Beonlise look bright, and she only felt that this costume should have been worn on Zero.
Zero didn't realize it at all, and he took Beonrith's hand and walked to the control room. After passing through a short hallway, turning into the door marked with the control room icon, the two of them came to a semicircular platform. Beneath the platform is a work area of more than 1,000 square meters, and as far as the eye can see, rows of desks are arranged in an orderly manner, on which are placed computers from the old era.
There is a staircase to the left and right of the platform leading to the work area below, and Zero and Beonise descend from the staircase on the left. With the help of the tactical light on Beonlise's shoulder, Zero's right eye had already taken a clear look at the area when the night vision mode was activated. What was supposed to be a bustling workspace has now become deadly. What was left behind was a mess and hundreds of skeletonized corpses.
Judging by the clothing of the corpses, they were mostly researchers, but there were also several military personnel, as well as some guards. Whether they are military personnel or researchers, their status is not low. This can be seen from the name tag pinned to their chests, Zero turned around, and the lowest status in the name tag they saw also hung the title of head of such and such a department.
It seems that after the fall of the base, instead of escaping, the high-ranking people of the base poured into the central control room. There was only one possibility for them to do so, and that was that the base had cut off all access to the outside world, and they could only hide in the control room and wait for rescue. Obviously, they can't wait for the rescue, otherwise they wouldn't be turned into dry bones now.
"Looks like we're a little bit lucky. ”
On the side, Beonlis, who was inspecting the command platform of the base, said happily: "The backup energy source can still work, and there will be no problem in working for at least another ten years." Some of the peripheral weapon platforms in the control room can also be used, and the only door that is still working is the one we just entered. Well, wait, there are still a couple of monitors that are still able to work. ”
"Open them. ”
Beonise has a very comprehensive education, from family management to business management, from military training to computer programming. After a few minutes of fumbling around on the control platform, she already had a general understanding of the base's control system. After a few simple commands, the monitors working outside the control room and elsewhere in the base were activated, and several micro-cameras were turned on to illuminate them, giving bullets a warm welcome as soon as unidentified creatures came within their range.
At the same time, several emergency light sources inside the control room were also lit up, allowing the control room to bid farewell to the dark days. Beonise was also able to turn off the tactical light on her shoulder to save the built-in energy of the tactical suit.
Several screens corresponding to the external control monitors lit up on the wall in front of the command platform, and the dried corpses outside the base could be seen almost everywhere from the screen. Occasionally, one or two researchers will pass by. Outside the control room, in addition to the two derivatives that were still trying to scrape the alloy gate, nearly forty or so researchers appeared. They circled around the control room, seemingly looking for a way into it.
Zero frowned, wondering how many such monsters are there in this base?
