Inside the energy tower.
Two figures were struggling to move forward in a semi-collapsed corridor.
The furious swarm of insects wandering inside the energy tower not only broke down the layers of defense, but also demolished many illegal buildings mounted on the energy tower - all of which were to make full use of the energy output system of the energy tower. Various types of buildings are constantly being built and expanded:
Assembly line factories, parts manufacturing workshops, arsenals, food manufacturing plants, botanical gardens, constant temperature pastures, automated birth bases, main steam boilers, etc.
The top of the tower starts to go all the way down to the bottom of the tower. The further down, the more various types of buildings are mounted. After decades of renovation, construction and expansion, the size of these illegal structures has reached an incredible level. It has long been It has exceeded the size of the energy tower itself and has turned into a huge and bloated steel monster.
Large clumps of metal and concrete buildings hang layer upon layer on the outside of the energy tower like overgrown sarcomas, greedily absorbing every ounce of nutrition (electricity) output from the energy tower.
Today, when facing resection, it is inevitable to endure labor pain.
Now, more than half of the passages in the energy tower have collapsed due to building demolition. It is not easy to find a way into the energy tower from the bottom of the tower.
Chang Geng, do you really want to believe the words of that extraordinary creature?
if not? Do we have any other options?
Lu Changgeng glanced at him, then turned his head and tried hard to push a huge boulder aside and squeeze in along the gap.
As you just saw, even shots fired with enchanted bullets at very close range cannot cause any harm to him. We don't have the force to deter him - at least not without the help of containment objects.
He struggled to get into the narrow and cramped passage, sweeping away the rubble and ruins in front of him: and based on the performance of the Red Lantern Corps and the Mind Plague, this guy's hazard level could at least reach the level of Wasteland Nightmare, and might even rise to Doomsday. Rising Star Reviews
Lao Fan, who was following behind, was still a little unwilling to admit the fact: But if we use the containment object, we still have a chance in one-on-one status.
cost.
Lu Changgeng interrupted him.
There is a price to pay for using the containment object, and even if we can afford it, there is no guarantee that the Red Lantern Corps will not be affected by killing that extraordinary creature.
He turned his head and looked at his colleagues: Think about it, the current Red Lantern Corps is a group of lunatics, and there is a sane person who leads this group of lunatics and uses them as gunmen; but if this leader suddenly What happens when you die?
Lao Fan was stunned. He frowned and thought for a moment, and then his expression became frightened: You mean, they will turn into a group of complete lunatics.
Yes, the harm caused by a group of lunatics with a leader and a group of lunatics without a leader is completely different. Lu Changgeng said slowly, the former is scary, but at least there are traces of the action trajectory; as long as there is reason, there will be a purpose, and there will be a purpose to target. The only enemies we need to deal with are the manipulators behind this group of lunatics; and then is real chaos and we're going to be dealing with all kinds of crazy people in the future
He slowly painted a picture of hell.
Countless fanatical lunatics will perform all kinds of crazy behaviors, without reason or purpose, just to have fun and carry out various destructive activities.
Pure chaos.
like a clown troupe
The thought of such a scene made Lao Fan shudder, inexplicably thinking that a very similar group once existed.
But there are still bugs and skeletons in the wilderness. This is the night hemisphere and the environment is extremely cold. Even if they fall into chaos, they can't survive in the wilderness for long, right? But he quickly shook his head again, still unwilling to believe that the situation would be as bad as Lu Changgeng described.
Lu Changgeng just glanced at him, and then continued to focus on cleaning up the ruins, speaking unhurriedly.
After watching the previous battles, do you really think those bugs and skeletons in the wilderness can pose a threat to them?
Those bugs with corrosive guns in their hands and scythes as sharp as iron on their backs, who advance and retreat in an orderly manner, follow orders and prohibitions, and completely specialize the legion's combat capabilities, can't be defeated. Do you think you can defeat those wild bugs in the wilderness?
Lao Fan was speechless:
What's more, you just heard that there is a father and a mother behind that extraordinary creature. Even if we use the containment object to deal with him, it won't have much effect.
So we can only do what he says? Lao Fan said with some reluctance.
Let's take it one step at a time. Lu Changgeng sighed. He just wants us to save a few people, and I happen to have something I want to ask that bastard chairman.
Previously, he could not accept the tragic cycle that was performed every day in Night City and was regarded as normal by most people. He could not accept the oppression and exploitation of the lower class people by the nobles as a matter of course. He could not accept the family philosophy and was not understood by the family. After the coming-of-age ceremony, he took his equipment and supplies and left this suffocating city, crossing the boundary between morning and evening and arriving at the day hemisphere, which was rich in products.
During the ten years of wandering, as if to expel the memory of the dark and cold city from his mind, as a traveler he left footprints everywhere in the day hemisphere, from small villages where protective nets were piled with garbage. to large cities sheltered by agencies, from abandoned cities now covered with green plants to endless loess deserts
He met many people and witnessed many things.
The more we see, the darker and colder the city, the indifferent faces of the lower-class workers in the city, and the extravagant and depraved nobles at the top become clearer in our memory.
He is ambitious and vows to change such a wrong hometown.
But when he saw Runtu being tortured into a soulless walking corpse, and when he and other workers looked at him with respect and fear, he saw the sheriff getting more and more serious, laughing and beating to death a worker who accidentally stepped on their shoes. At that time, after seeing that the vampires who squeezed the workers' blood and sweat still lived a luxurious life,
He had doubts.
I doubt I can change this city.
He was confused.
I'm confused about how useful my return will be.
Then he failed.
His hesitation and his shouting were all in vain, sinking silently into the city without even causing a single wave.
Lu Changgeng was walking slowly in front when he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the corner ahead.
who is it? !
His warning made Lao Fan become nervous instantly. The two of them pulled out their pocket pistols from their arms and pointed in the direction of the sound.
There was an indelible shadow at the corner ahead, and soon, a figure slowly walked out of the shadow.
The shadows gradually faded, revealing his tall, burly body covered with new and old scars that had not yet healed, as well as his fierce look.
The first hunter.
There was no need to tell him his family name, just his fierce face and the aura he had gained from countless battles were enough for the two of them to identify him.
who are you? Why here?
Worried about whether they can succeed?
Runtu, who was looking in the direction of the energy tower, woke up from his distraction and nodded at a loss: Yes.
Don't worry, they are elites sent by the day hemisphere, this little thing won't trouble them. It would be better to say that if they can't do this little thing well, they should stop being investigators and change their profession as soon as possible. The incarnation of the ideological trend waved his hands indifferently, and his consciousness was completely immersed in the operation panel that only had projections.
The projection light screen is divided into several windows, and pictures of several different battlefields are projected at the same time. The largest picture is a projection of the current battle situation in various places in Night City - with the energy tower as the center, representing the red light The red dots of legions wander through the night like ants
In the streets and alleys of the city, all the checkpoints and arteries leading to the outside world were blocked, and the black tide representing the enemy rushed towards the positions marked with red *** blocks in waves.
The tide is constantly being wiped out and swallowed, and the red light spots occasionally go out, but they are quickly replenished and pushed back. The two sides continue to see each other on the front line, and a long and narrow front stretches out before the incarnation of the ideological trend. .
Combat units composed of countless brigades, squadrons, and squads are fighting back and forth on this front, forming an intertwined frontline battlefield. The two commanders of this war are hiding behind the scenes to control the fighting of their soldiers.
It can't go on like this! The incarnation of thought bit his finger and stared at the projection on the sand table with his brows furrowed. Runtu on the side asked in confusion: What's wrong? What happened?
Energy output efficiency is too slow. The incarnation of thought said, this battle has a time limit. Have you seen the countdown in the lower left corner of the projection? There's less than ten minutes left.
Runtu was still confused when looking at these pictures: Huh? Do you want to persist until the countdown ends?
The countdown is over and we all have to finish playing the incarnation of thoughts. To be precise, you all have to die. Father will protect mother, and I can dive into the sea of soul at any time to avoid the spell taking effect, but you But I can't run away.
Until now, the energy output by the Red Lantern Corps has only consumed one-third of the circulating energy of the rune array, and there seems to be external energy being injected every minute and every second. If this continues, Dissolving Love will take effect.
Dissolving Love Runtu opened his mouth. He remembered the term. This is a very terrifying magic circle that can dissolve all substances in the magic circle into small particles like sand. Not long ago, the child in front of him was talking to They have explained this term, so what should I do? Is there any way I can help?
What do you think you can do to help? The Avatar of Thought rolled his eyes.
Runtu was at a loss for words for a moment: Well, I know some mechanical repairs. I learned some wiring techniques from Lao Meng that can make the line burn out due to overload. I know how to use a throwing gun.
Forget it, don't think so much, leave the important tasks to those investigators. Before he could finish speaking, the incarnation of thought interrupted him with a wave of his hand. I'll go solve this matter. You stay here. Don't run around
As he spoke, the figure of the incarnation of thoughts began to become transparent.
etc! Where are you going?
Go kill the commander on the other side.
