Coincidentally, on the other side of the team, Wutou-23 also chose Theseus Warehouse as the location where they placed the induction beacon.
"After all, you are most familiar with the terrain there, right?"
Wutou-23, who was at the front of the queue, said this.
Hearing him say this in a joking tone, the expressions of 136 and others suddenly darkened.
Initially, they were besieged at Theseus's warehouse. It was also there that I saw with my own eyes that the comrades I had been with day and night fell beside me one after another. And in the end, he was captured there in humiliation, and was taken to the company to be used as consumables for salvaging dark web technology, and he was barely alive.
There are so many places suitable for setting up decoy beacons, and Wutou-23's choice is obviously a deliberate insult to them.
Faced with such an insult, Jiang Zhou noticed that the ceramic claw blades buried in 136's forearm popped out.
Seeing this, Qianxia Ying, who was on the side, quickly stepped forward and held down his shoulders.
"Calm down, B6..."
she whispered.
"It doesn't matter, you can do what you want."
Wutou-23 said sarcastically.
"To be honest, I quite hope you will try this, just to add some fun to my outing... You know, although the order I received is to take you back safely, but if you do it yourself If you die, that’s a different matter.”
He didn't even look back when he said this.
Black Falcon-136's breathing became obviously heavier.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhou stepped forward and held down 136's arm, shaking his head at him.
If it were a head-to-head confrontation, facing an adjuster with a depth of 4, even if they played together, they wouldn't even be able to get a 1% winning rate. There was no need to lose their lives just for the sake of this moment's enthusiasm.
"I see……"
After waiting for a long time, 136 slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice:
"Useless sacrifices are meaningless."
Then, he turned to look at the two people beside him:
"Don't worry, I won't mess around."
Seeing this, both of them put down their hands.
Jiang Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief.
To be honest, he often feels very tired when teaming up with such a person whose behavior is too idealistic.
Although this kind of person will be very cohesive in a team and will make other people gather together unconsciously. But it is often this kind of person who will sing loudly all the way and lead the entire team into an irreversible abyss.
Personally, Jiang Zhou admires their ideals and actions. But if he really wanted to work together, he would still prefer to work with someone like Booker who has a flexible style.
After all, he never thought of himself as an idealist - even if others sometimes rated him as such. But only he knows that it is his most rational choice.
It's just that the most rational choices often seem the craziest.
Probably because it did not have the expected insulting effect, Wutou-23 said with a "tsk":
"I thought you guerrillas would be more bloody. I remember when we were in the Luxor resettlement area..."
He probably wanted to talk about his "glorious history" of suppressing other resistance groups in the past - after all, this is what Cerberus was born to do - but as soon as he started, he suddenly stopped.
It was as if a hunter heard something in the forest.
After about a few seconds, he said softly:
"It looks like our first guest is coming."
As he spoke, dark red lines suddenly appeared on his armor.
"A gentle reminder, if you don't want to die, you should all stay away...and then, let's have a good look at Cerberus's fighting style."
The three-meter-tall metal giant said excitedly.
But Jiang Zhou, who had been following him, his eyes jumped.
He checked the activity map and did see a high-threat target marked in red approaching them.
But according to the markings on the map, that thing was at least several kilometers away from them.
In other words, Wutou-23 can detect high-energy targets up to several kilometers away.
Jiang Zhou silently recorded this in his mind - at this moment, he must collect all combat intelligence that may be used later.
On the other side, as the dark red lines on Wu Tou-23's body lit up, he floated in defiance of gravity.
Immediately, the armor behind him quickly deformed, and several vector injectors hidden under it lit up one by one.
The flame tail gradually changes from red to yellow, and finally to blue.
then……
"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the sky, Wutou-23, which was previously floating in mid-air, disappeared in an instant, leaving only a few straight tracks.
The speed was so fast that Jiang Zhou could not catch it with his naked eyes.
"So, are you still planning to kill him now?"
Looking up at the disappearing tracks, Chinatsu Sakura suddenly turned to look at 136 and asked.
The expression on the latter's face was still gloomy - his expression had not changed since his second dive.
After hesitating for a long time, Black Falcon-136 shook his head and said:
"It's not time yet, let's keep observing..."
Facing an adjuster who can fly and fly at a speed that breaks the sound barrier, it's useless to observe with a microscope...
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but complain in his heart.
To be honest, even if he teamed up with Booker Liaoqi and had a righteous three-on-one fight, he would not be confident in defeating the opponent.
With this in mind, Jiang Zhou once again focused on the activity map of the eye movement interface.
At this moment, the mark symbolizing Aconitum-23 was about to come into contact with the high-threat unit.
The location where they came into contact happened to be not far from the main entrance of Theseus' warehouse.
…………
A structure composed of five concentric blue crystal rings, like a celestial sphere, is floating slowly but firmly.
And this strange guy is the target of Wutou-23's trip - his high-energy induction radar detected the radiation reaction of this malicious program from as far as five kilometers away.
[Threat Assessment: Mild]
The moment he saw the malicious program, the Delphi Oracle system installed in Aconite-23's brain judged the threat level of the opponent.
It's actually a slight degree?
This made Wutou-23 feel a little surprised.
Theoretically speaking, given his strength, at depth 2, as long as he is not surrounded by an overwhelming number of malicious programs; or he is not unlucky enough to encounter a malicious program that has risen to this depth, it is basically impossible to encounter danger. .
Even if it is a slight degree, it should not be...
After all, compared to depth 2, depth 4 is simply a dimensionality reduction blow in terms of performance.
As for why the deep-diving salvage industry does not send high-depth adjusters to harvest the low-depth abyss dark web?
That’s because the existence of high-depth adjusters itself will put a huge burden on the foundation construction process carried out in low-depth deep diving chambers.
From a theoretical point of view, it is not impossible to let highly modified adjusters harvest printing permissions at a shallow level. But if calculated from the perspective of actual income, this will greatly increase the salvage cost.
There are so many low-level adjusters anyway, and they themselves are destabilizing factors in society, so it would be better to give them a good place to go fishing. This can not only consume their energy, but also steadily eliminate some unlucky ones, and maintain a relatively stable number of private adjusters.
In addition, the publicity machine is launched to promote those guys who became legends with Abyss Wandering to the altar. In this way, the folk abyss wanderers who dream of being like those mercenary kings and transcending the limits of human intelligence to become a "city of one person" will be like leeks, growing one after another and never being able to cut them all.
Therefore, the current model not only maintains the high mortality rate of the abyss wanderer profession, but also greatly reduces the cost of the deep diving salvage industry - anyway, those private abyss wanderers go on voluntarily, with high risk and high reward. , the company does not even need to pay pensions after death.
Because of this, there are not many cases like Wutou-23 that can dive to depth 2 at depth 4 to abuse vegetables.
There is nothing wrong with saying that this is abuse of public funds.
The speed brake on the body was deployed instantly, the front vector jet also flashed, and Wutou-23 stopped suddenly not far from the malicious program.
"Buzz——"
The structure composed of five dark blue crystal concentric rings also stopped after inducing a certain resonance in the air.
"You guys, do you have a personality interaction interface? If you have any, please tell me... After all, I prefer killing to destroying."
After stopping suddenly in mid-air, Wutou-23 asked with interest.
"Buzz——"
What responded to him was the spread of a wave of air visible to the naked eye, and the windows around the street were instantly shattered. Among the five crystal rings that are constantly changing on the other side, the outer two overlap on the same plane.
However, such an impact would not even make Wutou-23 move.
【Detected...Detected...】
An inorganic voice seemed to come from all directions of Wutou-23.
[Ascended person of Cerberus path detected, no key authority, non-access object, threat level 3...4, non-access object]
[Warning, you have entered the identification area, non-visitors please leave by yourself]
[Otherwise, the defense system will be activated and clearing authority will be obtained]
"Identification area? What identification area?"
Seeing this, Wutou-23, who had originally planned to take out the "Hell's Breath" melt weapon, paused his actions.
he asked with some curiosity.
[The portal identification area is inaccessible to non-target objects. For your survival, please visit again after obtaining the access key]
The construct replied.
Portal identification area?
This answer made Wu Tou-23's heart skip a beat.
As we all know, in the Abyss Dark Web, the word "portal" is most often used to describe "universal printer".
I bet you really found something good on this trip?
Thinking of this, he stopped talking nonsense. He directly raised his left arm, and the armor covering it fell off, revealing the melt gun hidden in it.
The inside of the gun barrel was as hot as the throat of a hellhound, and it let out a low roar - that was the sound of the beam evaporating water in the air.
Hell's Breath - Few things can survive the horrific heat generated by this subatomic reaction.
However, at this time, the other party also moved.
Four of the five crystal rings of the structure rotated to the same plane at the same time.
And the color of the ring instantly turned into a fiery red.
The Delphi Oracle system in Wutou-23's mind's threat assessment of the opponent changed at this moment.
[Threat Assessment: Danger]
