The River Styx faded and the resentful souls dissipated - the message left by Liao Qi made Christie withdraw from the temporary network domain and prepare to return to the basic reality.
However, doing so in an originally balanced network battle cannot be without any cost. The moment when the external computing power is disconnected when offline is the most vulnerable moment for the adjuster.
And Perseus 1, which has also reached the limit of human intelligence, naturally cannot let go of this opportunity. He calculated this opportunity correctly and controlled Pegasus to flash over.
First, he pulled out the Gorgon's head from the magic pocket on his waist. The deadly gaze of the decapitated monster caused the gray-white petrified curse to stain Christie's substitute. Immediately afterwards, No. 1 jumped off on the back of Pegasus. He stepped over in the air on flying shoes with fluttering wings. The sickle in his hand struck from a tricky angle and shattered Christie's petrified left arm.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, and the temporary network collapsed immediately. This mythical and grand scene faded away like a convergent function in the dimming of countless pixels.
Christie and Perseus 1 returned to the negative seventh floor of the Nord settlement area - breaking away from the vast world of numbers and graphics and returning to the cold reality governed by the laws of physics.
"Grass……"
The moment his consciousness returned to the prosthetic body, Christie cursed softly.
Number 1's final attack caused her ice wall to be eroded to a certain extent.
The other party broke through several of her own ice walls and implanted a large number of autonomous viruses into her prosthetic body.
Although this would not cause her prosthetic body to be taken over and controlled by the other party, or directly detonate her own energy furnace. However, in order to isolate and suppress the damage of those malicious viruses, Christie's prosthetic body now only has less than 70% of the output of its heyday.
However, the strange thing is that after gaining such a tactical advantage, the opponent did not continue to attack immediately. Instead, he controlled the "Aegis" individual combat module and began to repair the injuries caused by the previous battle, and at the same time generated several drone structures around him.
The opponent didn't take advantage of this opportunity to attack directly, so naturally he had some bigger plot. But the current situation makes Christie no longer have any energy to worry about the other party.
Blood-red lines clung to her pitch-black armor. With the support of the anti-gravity field, Christie raised her steel wings and flew into the air. At the same time, she projected her humanoid interactive image in front of Liao Qi through a drone.
With a glimmer of hope, Christie planned to try to wake up the guy who had previously rescued him from the City of Sages.
At this moment, Liao Qi's body was exposed with melted circuits. The right half of the radiator melted due to overclocking, and blue flames kept coming out of it.
The magnetic fluid covering his body was like an amorphous fungus, taking on a disturbing shape. The bionic skin covering his body had been burned into a crispy shell during the battles along the way. On the only head that still had native skin, the skin and flesh had been burned until charcoal black stuck to the face, outlining the shape of the skull.
Seeing this image of the other party, everything Christie wanted to say was blocked in his mouth - if the people from the Wolfsbane Unit hadn't confirmed that the person in front of him was Liao Qi, if his own scan hadn't revealed that the other party was Icarus. The adjuster of the path... It was absolutely impossible for her to connect the nearly scrapped prosthetic body in front of her with the person she had met in the Narcissus Plain.
Everyone in Wolfsbane's troops couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when they saw that this high-level executive who had reached the limit of human intelligence had come to support them.
Although they will definitely be punished when they return to the company later, at least for now, they have finally escaped from the hands of that cyber madman - before coming here, they never thought of being in such a remote place. Will encounter such a powerful enemy.
【Finally saved】
[I originally thought that the intensity of the security war would be at least Level 1... This mission was too brutal]
[Speaking of which, where did this guy’s advanced prosthetics come from? It is impossible for similar prosthetic bodies to flow into the public]
[No matter how advanced his prosthetic body is, in front of Ms. "Abyssal One", it is just a matter of one round of confrontation]
[Sigh... It's such a pity for the old 9 and the old 11, they obviously just need to hold on for a few more minutes]
[What about his previous threat to blow up the entire resettlement area? 】
[Don’t worry, these rats still underestimate the power of the company’s top management. Using extermination weapons as a deterrent, such a serious violation of the "Olympus Accords" will completely lift the restrictions on the actions of adjusters with a depth of 7 or above... So, just wait and see the good show]
Perhaps because they relaxed, the surviving members of the Wolfsbane Force began to discuss each other word by word in the teammate channel.
But in this relaxed atmosphere of surviving the disaster, only Wutou-1 remained calm and alert. He immediately contacted Christie and said:
[Ms. Christie, the external prosthetics attached to the opponent are very powerful, so please be careful when dealing with them... Here are the various parameters of the prosthetics that I have collected during the battle, which may be able to provide some help]
After saying that, he immediately sent the data packet over.
Of course Wutou-1 understands that Christie has no need to use these data to deal with the cyberpsycho - the difference in power between the two sides is too huge, and the other side cannot even let the airborne company executive take action.
But even if it has no practical meaning, I still have to do it.
This is to show goodwill. After all, they are the ones who started this matter. Now they can make up for it a little bit to show their attitude; and secondly, send the crazy video of the other party to Christie can make this senior executive who plans to complete the depth 8 upgrade in the Nord resettlement area give up her support for Icarus and instead accept the team arranged for her by the company.
In this way, the sacrifices made by their Wolfsbane troops on this trip here were not wasted.
However, the other party directly refused to receive the data packet sent by itself.
This bad omen made Wu Tou-1's heart suddenly sink.
Faintly, a feeling of uneasiness about whether he had messed up something began to spread in his heart.
But before Wu Tou-1 could continue to test, the first words Christie's projection spoke to the madman caused him to have a short-circuit in his thinking and freeze in mid-air.
"Hey! Kid, do you remember me?"
The tone of her words was not as indifferent and detached as when she was assigning tasks to them. Instead, she was like a native, full of emotion and humanity.
It was as if Liao Qi was her long-time friend.
But... Wasn't Christie, known as the "Abyss One", exiled to the Abyss Dark Web as a "Wanderer" during the Second Cyber War?
In terms of age, Liao Qi might have just been born when she was trapped in the Abyss Dark Web.
How could they possibly know each other? !
But on the other hand, Liao Qi at this moment ignored Christie's greetings at all.
Originally, he was chasing a member of the Wolfsbane team, but when he saw Christie's projection approaching, he took off the two high-frequency floating blades as big as door panels in his hands and slashed at the drone thrown by Christie. passed. (End of chapter)
