"Although I understand why you have this idea, I regret to tell you that I do not carry a powerful weapon of destruction..."
659 showed his hands helplessly, as if to prove that he really did not have the weapon 173 hoped for.
"Then it looks like we're doomed..."
173 finally couldn't hold it any longer and shouted with a sad face.
It was just when he spoke that the sound of the sound falling behind the two of them became louder and louder, like the scythe of death approaching, reminding the two of their current predicament.
"Wait a minute, powerful weapons of destruction...don't you and I both have the same thing?!"
Looking at 173's crying face, 659 shook his left hand at the other party.
"You mean... the ball lightning generating device?"
The silver-white metal arm kept dangling in front of 173, making him instantly understand what 659 meant.
Just now, when he and 659 met, the other party had used the ball lightning generating device in the robotic arm to gather a red ball lightning in the palm of his hand as a threat during torture.
"That's right, it's the ball lightning generating device."
A smile appeared on 659's face. The originally quiet blue glow of his left arm turned into dark red in the blink of an eye. A large amount of spiritual energy poured out from his left chest and converged towards the end of the arm. Soon Soon a restless red electric ball formed in the palm of his hand.
"The boss is the boss. The level of civilization level 2.0 is really not enough..."
Seeing that there was hope for solving the predicament in front of him, Zhang Heng-173 quickly put aside his previous anxiety and looked expectantly at the restless red electric ball in 659's palm.
"Push forward a little further, and I will increase the upper limit of charging. When the ball lightning is thrown, remember to hide behind me."
Glancing back, 659 saw a different scene in the darkness that ordinary people could only see.
The mottled and cracked ground was covered with weeds and dilapidated dead trees. On the far side of the two of them, there was a huge shadow. With the help of the equipment, 659 could barely see clearly that it was a surging tide of insects. .
"Presumably those insect swarms are the shadow insect swarms mentioned by 173..."
Thinking to himself, his five metal fingers slightly closed and pinched the electric ball in his palm.
"Prepare!"
Feeling the restlessness coming from the palm of his hand, 659 reminded him loudly, and at the same time, he quickened his steps, trying to put as much distance between himself and the insect swarm as possible.
"We've been prepared for a long time, let's do it, boss 659!"
Zhang Heng-173 was like an excited child, staring at the thunder ball in the opponent's palm with excitement.
In timeline 173, although Wang Yu has not yet created a ball lightning generating device, judging from the simulation of the optical brain, this artificial lightning has huge destructive power and is used to destroy a group of small people in this world. Insect tide shouldn't be a problem.
The dark red arc flashed continuously on the surface of the ball lightning, like a swimming dragon, eager to release the energy within it.
"go!"
Along with 659's shout, the dark red thunder ball flew out of his hand. At the same time, a harsh buzzing sound came from 659's chest and rippled around.
The invisible ripples are centered on 659, forming a honeycomb-shaped blue shield on the surface of the body.
Not only that, the shield film also spreads to the surface of the mechanical arm, forming a round half-person-high shield at the forearm.
"The ion shield has been generated"
The light green data flow quickly passed through the transparent mirror of 659, reflecting in his deep eyes.
"Get behind me!"
659's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he stopped his body.
His legs were bent and he was half-kneeling on the ground.
The blue shield on the mechanical arm buckled directly into the soil, and there was the sound of metal turning sand.
"Damn, this shield is so handsome!"
Before 173 could completely hide his body behind 659, a red light suddenly flashed in the darkness in the distance, and then a silent air wave exploded, kicking up all the dust on the ground.
Countless rubble rolled and hit the ground in all directions, and many of them hit the shield directly, sparks bursting out and then flying away.
Since 173 was hiding behind, he was naturally unable to see clearly what happened at the moment of the explosion, but 659, who was blocking the front, deliberately focused his attention on the center of the explosion.
"The picture of the unknown creature has been recorded and the shape adaptation analysis is in progress."
Although 659 does not have a system like 173, he also equipped himself with a pair of monocles that can record and analyze the battle situation in real time. The energy core on his left chest supplies energy. As long as his spiritual energy is not exhausted, he is equivalent to Have a battlefield assistant who can quickly analyze the battle situation.
"Bah, bah, bah, this is too powerful. It made my mouth turn gray..."
While spitting in his mouth, 173 raised his head and looked forward, but all he saw was the honeycomb-shaped shield glowing with blue light, and the blurry darkness in the distance.
"What on earth is this shadow insect..."
Before 173 could say anything, 659's voice came from the front.
"Um... I'm not sure. I just know it's an emergency mission. The system asked me to find the insect nest and kill the insect king..."
173 scratched his head and spoke out the task prompt given by the system in his mind.
"Does this creature have a royal branch?"
Although 659 had tried his best to control his emotions, there was still a look of horror on his face.
"Probably... Usually, the rewards after completing emergency missions are quite generous, um... so the difficulty of the missions will be relatively high..."
173 swallowed and then added.
"Although I have never completed an emergency mission..."
173 is telling the truth. This system that can issue tasks and guide him in the direction has just been integrated into his body. In other words, his familiarity with the system may not be much different from the familiarity of 659 next to him. .
We all just met.
"This mission...can I refuse it? Or will there be any punishment if the mission fails?"
659 quickly glanced at the variant next to him with his eyes hidden behind his lenses, then stared straight ahead and lowered his head to ask.
"If I could refuse...I would have used forced escape mode long ago..."
A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on 173's face, and the cold electronic notification sound of the system came to mind again.
"Note: This mission has been forcibly accepted and cannot be refused. If the mission fails, the host will be humanely destroyed."
"If the mission fails, the system will perform humane destruction of the host. The host here refers to me..."
As if he had accepted his destined fate, Zhang Heng-173 pointed at himself, with a look of despair on his face.
"Are you an auxiliary system or a suicide system? Why are you so unfriendly to your host? Could it be that in your timeline, an omnic crisis broke out after the cataclysm?"
"That's not true, this system is not artificial intelligence..."
173 was about to explain, but when he saw 659's expression change, he felt something bad for a moment.
"Get out of the way!"
Before 659's exclamation could reach the ground, a thin sound of breaking through the air came from the darkness in the distance. The dark sharp thorns were like bullets coming out of the barrel. The target of the attack was exactly where 173 and 659 were.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
s position.
"What is this...I'm going, you're hurt!"
The bright red blood bloomed quickly on 659's gray sleeves, like a blooming rose of death.
Ignoring the exclamations of 173 beside him, 659 raised his right hand, counted several points on his left chest, and spoke at the same time to give orders.
"Detection, physical injuries..."
"Multiple penetrating injuries were detected on the subject's right arm. Preliminary hemostasis has been carried out. It is recommended to receive medical treatment as soon as possible."
"Fortunately it's not poisonous..."
659 breathed a long sigh of relief, took off the blue shield on his body, and sat down on the ground.
"How are you...how is the shadow bug..."
His eyes jumped back and forth between 659 and the darkness in the distance. 173 held on to 659's body as much as possible, trying to lift him up from the ground.
"Run quickly... Ball lightning can only temporarily disperse the insect tide, but it cannot kill it at all. You go first, and I will stop you..."
A light green data stream flashed across 659's monocle, which seemed to support his statement.
"The shape adaptation of the unknown creature failed, now recording the unknown creature."
"Biocode: Shadow Insect"
"Biological serial number: tentative 4044"
"Biological Habits: Living in Groups"
"Life energy level: Omega level"
"Omega-level life forms, no wonder they can't be killed with one shot, they can only break up the formation..."
The same wry smile as 173's appeared on 659's face, and he kept breathing harshly.
"Omega-level life forms, and they are also gregarious Omega-level life forms, not to mention the presence of king-level life forms among them. You probably won't be able to complete this task..."
"Although it is said that if you fail to complete the task, you will be humanely destroyed by the system, at least there are no other restrictions on this task. Let's run and cross the border to other timelines..."
While speaking, 659's mechanical palm suddenly pushed towards 173's body, trying to push the variant beside him away.
But at this moment, 173 answered with a sad face.
"Boss, this mission has a time limit! The deadline for completing the mission is one day in the Red Moon World, which means that even if I escape, I can only live for one more day..."
"Is there... a time limit for this..."
659 obviously did not expect this, and looked at 173 for a while as if he were an unlucky person.
"Originally I wanted to pass on my technology to you, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. The two of us variants can only wait to die in this timeline..."
"...No way...I have just become a world breaker not long ago. Do I really have to bid farewell to this beautiful world..."
173 immediately collapsed on the ground. He had seen the technological level of 659 before. Even he said that there was no way to solve the creature, so he would definitely have to wait for death.
"Life is a reincarnation, and death is not the end. As long as one of thousands of us succeeds, the human race can break free from the shackles and gain eternal freedom..."
"well……"
The two identical-looking men in sweatshirts sighed and looked at each other for a long time, with a smile of joy appearing on their faces.
The crackling sound made by the shadow bugs as they moved rapidly became louder and louder, like the sound of rainwater composed of gold and silver hitting the dry ground.
Falling in the ears of the two of them, it was like the footsteps of death approaching quickly.
Just as 659 and 173 were preparing to face the impending death, a strange voice sounded in the darkness and reached their ears at the same time.
"Two World Splitters, don't be so desperate. Humans are not a race that gives up easily..."
