Chapter 433: The Siege (4)
Even if Beonise wasn't a powerhouser, she knew what the glow of the high-speed swirling liquid in the monster's chest represented. It is the energy of the living body, a kind of brilliance formed by the energy of the organism to drive itself. The brightness and darkness of the energy brilliance have the most direct relationship with the strength of the energy level. If this is not the case, why is it that the more advanced the abilities, the more dazzling the energy brilliance they emit?
It can be said that, with the exception of some hidden abilities, most skills can roughly judge the power of the energy brilliance from the brightness and darkness of it.
Now, the lizardman-like monster in the monitor, the blue light on its chest was not so strong that it was impossible to see. But it is endless, and the level is not too low, at least above the sixth order.
Rank 6 or higher ability attacks, no matter what kind of skill they are, will definitely cause more damage than those researchers who use their claws to pull and pull non-stop.
Beonise suddenly realized that the fortress-like days of the central control room were coming to an end. She grabbed her rifle tightly, turned and ran in the direction of the gate. Rush through the corridor as fast as you can, and come to the first level in front of the gate. Beonise immediately lowered her body, crouched behind the line she had constructed, and aimed her gun at the gate.
Strangely, nothing happened.
Beonise was feeling strange, when she suddenly saw the command screen next to the gate flash twice, and a wisp of gray smoke rose with a "pop", but it was a short circuit. Seeing this, Beonlise twisted her eyebrows together. Although the gate showed no signs of being hit by an external force, the damage to the command screen indicated that the monster had indeed begun to attack. It's just that the attack method is not a simple and crude explosive attack, so there is no movement.
Sure enough, a moment later, the armored door on the inside began to bulge with dots of different sizes, and Beonlis's heart sank.
"Damn, it's a strong acid!" After a rare curse, Beonise immediately opened the safety of the rifle, ready to shoot at any time.
Judging from the appearance of the armored gate, Beonliz already knew that the other party was using some kind of strong acid to carry out a corrosive attack on the gate. The dots on the inner armor plate are because the outer side of the armor plate has been corroded, and strong acid enters the interlayer with air, causing a bubble-like corrosion pattern on the inside.
In a moment, the raised dots melted silently, and the door immediately became full of holes.
There was a strange whistling sound outside the door, followed by a heavy object slamming into the rotting gate, knocking the armored gate open a large hole. Beonlise didn't hesitate, and before she could see what was coming in from the door, she had already tightened the trigger of her rifle. The automatic rifle immediately roared, and under Beonlith's masterful manipulation, the bullets whistled, and the line of fire swept out in mid-air and slammed into the dark shadow by the door.
The bullet casings kept falling around him, and under the intense fire, the black shadow was pushed out little by little by the torrent of metal constructed by the bullets. In the firelight, Beonliz realized that it was a researcher.
Beonise steadfastly maneuvered her rifle to adjust the firing trajectory, the bullet point from the bottom up, and the dense line of fire nearly tore the researcher from the lower abdomen to the chest. Zuihou was in the line of fire in his head, and although he couldn't kill him with a single shot, several bullets went down in a row, and Beonliz also shot bullet holes in the researcher's head.
The central organs in the skull were damaged, and the researcher immediately stopped his movements and fell to the ground. But outside the gate, three more researchers desperately squeezed inside. It's just that the space at the gate is limited, and they can't squeeze in for a while. Beyonnise immediately picked up the grenade that she had prepared next to her in the morning, opened the safety and gently threw it on the spot.
The grenade rolled over the ground and eventually exploded near the gate!
Beonise didn't look at it, turned around and ran towards the second level. In each level, she left behind some guns, ammo, and grenades, as well as some simple but useful traps. These things may not be able to finally stop the Derivative from entering the base, but they can delay it for a while. Beonise only hopes that Zero will be able to get back before she reaches her limit, otherwise the bazooka left in the control room will become her Zuihou's weapon and the key to open the door to the grave.
Beonise never wants to fall into the hands of monsters, so if Zero can't save her, she'll blow up the entire control room with a bazooka, making it her own grave. Even if he dies, as the head of the family of Black Rose, he must die with dignity!
When you retreat to the second level, a new derivative body approaches from outside the slightly deformed gate. They pulled out the bodies of the three researchers and slipped into the gate one by one. The air in the hallway was filled with the smell of Beonlis, and the researchers, like irritated beasts, let out a low growl from their throats, and leaned forward and rushed deeper into the passage.
In their eyes, the so-called barrier defenses stacked with metal brackets, tables and chairs can't even hold them back for a second. Without any superfluous movements, one of the researchers jumped in the air and had to jump over the obstacles. But his speed was so fast that when the seemingly safe mid-air was actually tied to a tightrope, the force of the impact immediately allowed the wire to easily tear through the researcher's sturdy neck.
When the head of the derivant fell to the ground, he happened to see the grenade on the wall of the passage. What's even worse is that the impact on the steel wire just now not only killed himself, but the other end of the steel wire was also tied to the safety bolt of a grenade. As soon as a tightrope was pulled, the safety bolt of the grenade was pulled out.
The next moment, the researcher's eyes were covered in flames and smoke!
After a wave of hot heat and choking smoke poured out from inside the gate again, Dr. Kord laughed strangely, "I don't see that the intruders this time are all good goods, even a woman is so tricky." It's good, if she dies too quickly, I will lose the capital to contain that man. ”
As he spoke, Dr. Kode took out a walkie-talkie from his jacket pocket and "fed" it a few times. He said gloomily, "Powerful intruder, can you hear me?"
At this moment, Zero does not know the battle situation that broke out in the central control room. After leaving the biochemical area, he followed the route prompted by the main computer before and came to the computer room of the water purification unit. In front of the door of the computer room, a researcher wanders nearby. When he came to a nearby corpse, he bent down and tore off one of his arms, then put it to his mouth and hissed.
But after biting for a long time, it is estimated that the taste of the food is not very good, so the researcher throws it away.
This was followed by another aimless wandering.
Zero appeared in a hidden place, sprinted, and ran to the limit of his speed in just a dozen meters. That's when the researchers discovered Zero. No sooner had he raised his head than Zero, who had come to the researcher's side, suddenly froze, grabbed Colt with his right hand and slammed it towards the researcher's head. The sniper rifle slammed into the researcher's head with the added inertia of high velocity, causing the researcher's skull to collapse instantly, bouncing off the wall and sliding down dead.
No matter how strong his vitality is, at the moment when his head turns into mud, he will not be able to survive no matter what.
Zero walked to the door of the computer room, turned the wheel lock on the door with one hand, and gently pushed the door open. The water purification machine in the gate is still working, zero came to the control computer, and found that the working efficiency of the water purification equipment is only about 10% of the normal state. But even so, the water purification equipment can produce enough drinking water for 100 people every day.
The work efficiency is reduced, partly because of the limited backup power supply, and the other reason is probably that Kede himself can't drink so much clean water. It's just that judging from the fact that the water purification unit is still in motion, although the Z substance can make ordinary people like Kede become monster-like beings, the basic needs are still unavoidable.
For example, food, and clean water.
Zero shuttled through the water purification machine room, and according to the floor plan instructions posted on the wall next to the door of the machine room, he quickly found the maintenance channel. The maintenance channel is a straight and Xiangshang side extension pipe, which connects several components at the height of the water purification unit, providing workers with space to easily and quickly repair the machine. However, it is impossible to go straight to the ground, but in the three-dimensional structure of the base given by the main computer, Zero sees that the maintenance channel can be connected to a vent, and that vent eventually passes through an emergency passage behind the water purification room.
This is probably the only way to survive in the base, and the outcasts that Kod has captured from the ground have proven the usability of the passage. Zero came to the computer room in order to confirm the location of the channel. Now that the passage has been confirmed, the next thing to do is to take Beonise away. But before that, he had one more person to deal with.
That person was naturally Kod, and Zero believed that when he brought Beon Lilise here, Kod would definitely show up and even ambush them as they burrowed into the passage. Therefore, before leaving, Zero must first take out Kod. If all the risk factors are not eliminated, then this path of life will also become a path of death.
Speaking of Kode, Zero frowned. He was sure that if Kod fought him alone, the chance of killing Kod would be as high as 90%. Even judging from Kede's energy aura, his energy level was already very close to the eighth order. But Kod is not a warrior, but a scientist, and neither tactics nor combat experience can compare to Zero.
But Kede is able to use Z matter to generate special derivations, which is the most terrifying thing about Kede.
Zero quickly recalls the battle that took place in the biochemical zone, and makes a summary of Kod and his derivative abilities.
First, from previous trials, Zero has learned that Kode, or Z matter, is afraid of ultraviolet rays. Therefore, Cod had to leave the white blood cell base at night, and the radius of movement on the ground was limited, which was the main reason why he stayed at the base for many years.
Second, Kode's own strategy can be ignored, but the new type of derivative body he created takes advantage of the evolutionary properties of the Z-substance in response to changes in the environment. This is a terrifying trait, as can be seen in the difference between the two variants, the Berserk and the Undead. As long as he gives Kod energy and time, he will be able to create a counterweight against his enemies. This means that the longer the time drags on, the more the scales of victory will be tilted in favor of Kode.
The third is the relationship between Kode and derivation. Judging from the ordinary derivation of the original researcher's form, there have been several waves, but the same derivation has evolved to varying degrees. There is a certain correlation between the derivative and the Kod, the derivative can be regarded as the external pendant of the Kod, and the Kede can collect the opponent's battle information through the derivation, and even the hidden information such as genes, so as to promote the evolution of himself and the derive.
The above three points are the relevant information obtained by Zero and Kod during the battle. The easiest way to kill Kod is to pull him to the ground and let the daylight shine and he will crumble like a legendary vampire. But naturally this is impossible, and Kede is not a fool, so it is not easy to lead him to the ground. The second is to look for tools such as ultraviolet rays, but Cod has been wandering around the base for so many years, and even if he had such tools, he would have been ruined early.
Just as he destroyed Dr. Callahan's information about Substance Z, it was impossible for Kode to expose his weaknesses to anyone else.
Zero believes that there will be other defects in substance Z, and ultraviolet light alone is far from a major defect. In the case of other weaknesses, if you start a war with Kod's Derivative Legion, the most direct way is to kill Kod's main body. As soon as the main body dies, even if the other derivatives do not die immediately, without the command center of Kode, they are like a mass of loose sand. When it comes to dealing with it, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
It's just that it is not easy to kill Kod under the protection of the Legion of Derivants.
Just as Zero was thinking about the specific plan to kill Kede, Kede's voice sounded in the machine room of the water purification unit: "Hey, powerful intruder, can you hear me?"
Zero quickly found the source of the sound, which was an emergency communicator located above the door of the computer room, and it was from inside that Kode's voice came: "Let me guess, you should be in the computer room of the water purification unit now." I don't know if you have calculated how long it will take to get from the water purification room to the central control room?"
Zero sudden pupil dilation.
Beonlise!
"Guess it, yes, I'm in the central control room right now. You see, my kids have rushed into the central control room, and I wonder how long your companion will be able to hold out under my Legion of Derivations? 10 minutes? or 1 minute?"
By the time Corde's maniacian laughter came out, Zero had already rushed out of the water purification unit. Follow the route recorded in your mind and go full speed ahead. Sixth-order agility combined with the use of shadow jumping made him look like a disembodied ghost.
Zero knew he was careless.
Previously, Beonise was left in the central control room, based on the fact that ordinary types of morphs could not tear through the control room's tactical armor plates. Later, he encountered Kod in the biochemical area, and although he had seen the power of the undead, Zero thought that the enraged Kod would come to hunt him down. But he underestimated Kode's strength, and the sinister man let him go and attacked the central control room instead.
The armor plate in the central control room can withstand the impact of missile-level explosions, but it can't help the undead's strong body.
Beonlise, wait for me!
