“Roar!”
The deafening roar echoed in the corridor, almost cracking the alloy walls and floors.
Meng Liang, who was covering his ears, had his expression twisted in pain.
Putting half of his head out to look at the corridor, he could almost see the circles of dust raised by the huge impact.
“Damn…this thing is a bit evil!”
Dodging the roaring fatal blow, Mr. Zhanji glanced at the door panel embedded in the wall behind him, vibrating like a tuning fork, and his face turned slightly pale.
Good guy!
What is this, Sivir, the goddess of war?
If this was cut, even Brother Guang would most likely be cut in half…
I thought I was facing a shield warrior, but I didn’t expect that the rotten knight directly slammed the “shield” and “sword” in his hand at him and Su Ming like javelins.
“Damn…”
Su Ming struggled to get up from the ground after a steel bar hit his chest.
Ignoring the burning pain in his chest, he managed to concentrate his energy, grabbed the Gauss rifle that fell on the ground, and pointed it at the monster standing at the end of the corridor.
“Go to hell!!!”
The moment the index finger pulled the trigger, the arc flashed!
Countless projectiles erupted from the barrel of the gun and rushed towards the end of the corridor like a shower. Sparks jumped on the decayed knight’s armor for a while.
Unfortunately, his armor was not penetrated!
The decayed knight stretched out his right hand, clasped it on the door panel of the room on one side, and pulled it off with a sudden force.
The expressions of both of them changed. While Warfield Lao continued to pull the trigger and fire, he shouted at Su Ming who was standing aside.
“Not enough power! Can that thing of yours… store power?”
He remembered that Ye Shi’s Gauss rifle could increase the penetration of a single mass bullet by charging it.
A fully charged fatal blow can penetrate even the armor of a Conqueror tank!
Obviously, he also discovered that the defensive power of the evolved body was ridiculously strong. Before the old voice from the battlefield fell, Su Ming had already taken a deep breath and raised the thing in his hand.
The number on the battery capacity indicator dropped rapidly, the front end of the capacitor emitted a blue arc, and the seeping muzzle was brewing with terrifying energy!
“I need time!”
“How long?” Looking at the Decayed Knight who was still acting like nothing after being hit by a shuttle, the Battlefield veteran asked through gritted teeth while changing the magazine.
“十——”
Before he finished speaking, a strong wind howled, and the decayed knight standing at the end of the corridor suddenly exerted force on his feet, and he rushed over like a cannonball.
The sweeping attack caught both of them by surprise. The door panel swept over and blew up a hurricane. With just one contact, Su Ming and his gun flew out, causing him to lose the ability to move. Soon, another horizontal slash hit the warlord, sending him flying and hitting the wall of the corridor.
“Cough——!”
The battlefield veteran accidentally bit his lip and spat out **** saliva. He glanced at the rifle that was broken into two pieces in his hand and threw it aside.
Thankfully, he blocked it subconsciously just now, otherwise just that one blow would have been enough to send him back to his hometown.
Thinking of this, the battlefield veteran couldn’t help but feel scared.
Such a terrifying power——
Quantized into attributes, it might even exceed 100!
The most terrible thing is that its speed and defense are not weak at all, and it has absolute defense as hard as a turtle shell and the unique tenacious vitality of slime mold.
Even if a bullet occasionally penetrates a weak link in its defense, it is not enough to cause fatal damage to it.
This is not a competition of the same level at all!
“Damn…”
The old warrior gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist. When the rotten knight rushed towards him again, he slashed at its head.
Just listen to a muffled sound!
He only felt as if the dagger in his hand was chopped into a mountain, causing a short sting in his mouth. Before he could come to his senses, the door panel pressed against his chest had already knocked him out.
The bulletproof armor on the chest was dented inward,
The old warrior grunted, and his back hit the ground heavily.
Not far away, the head of the Decayed Knight had only a layer of dark red fungus shaved off by the toothpick-like dagger. 3
His full blow failed to even leave a scratch on his helmet.
But think about it…
That’s powered armor.
The old warrior said with a wry smile, thinking that if he had known that the evolved body he encountered was the Decay Knight, he would never have come here.
However, there is no regret medicine anymore. He is now only grateful that he took the opportunity to save the file before.
Step by step, I walked up to him.
The rotten knight raised his right arm high, and when he saw the door panel tightly held in his hand, he was about to smash the battlefield boss into a pulp.
But at this moment, the movement of its hand suddenly stopped.
Zhanjie Lao, who opened half of his eyes, discovered that half of the palm-sized eyepiece was exposed where he had been struck by his sword.
It was originally covered by a thick blanket of bacteria.
A disturbing scarlet light flashed behind the eyepiece, and suddenly circles of blue ripples swept across the mirror surface.
The power armor, which was completely paralyzed and even the reactor was shut down, seemed to be awakened after activating a certain program.
The limited power was pouring out from the backup power supply, and the reverse-driven mechanical structure completely stopped its movement, completely freezing the right arm raised high.
Even if the flesh beneath the steel has rotted away—what remains of his will still controls this invincible armor.
With an exhaust sound of “”, the round tubular fusion battery popped out from the back of the armor. At the same time, a low roar mixed with electric sound leaked from the helmet.
“Kill… me.’
There is no time to hesitate.
Su Ming, who had regained his mobility, gritted his teeth and propped up half of his body, then threw a round tube-shaped plasma grenade in the direction of the pangolin.
“…The silver pull ring is a switch! Plug this thing into the battery port of the power armor…behind it!”
Understanding what he meant, before the sentence was finished, the battlefield veteran grabbed the grenade that rolled in front of him, quickly rolled it to the back of the rotten knight, and pulled out the fusion battery on its back.
Then he pulled out the fuse of the grenade and inserted it into the loose battery port.
“Get out of the way!”
Without Su Ming’s reminder, the battlefield veteran who completed this series of actions instinctively pounced forward.
Almost at the same time, dazzling white light exploded behind the Decay Knight, and explosive sparks scattered in all directions along with the jumping arc.
The solid plasma poured into the interior of the power armor, instantly roasting the slime mold filling the armor into charcoal.
“Roar——!”
The roar of pain shook the entire corridor.
As if all the strength in the body was drained by the dazzling white light, the scarlet light stuck behind the tactical eyepiece gradually faded away, and the entire armor completely lost its power. The body bent forward slightly and knelt heavily on the ground.
Seeing that the evolved body was finally killed, the battlefield boss lying on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief. After breathing for a long time, he gritted his teeth and dragged his body paralyzed by electricity to stand up from the ground.
At some point, Su Ming walked in front of the powered armor. Carrying a Gauss rifle, Su Ming looked at it silently and didn’t speak for a long time.
Tearing down the dented breastplate, Warfield Elder walked next to him.
“Acquaintance?”
“Yeah.”
Su Ming nodded silently.
The old Adam’s apple in the battlefield moved.
He had already guessed the person’s identity, but he still asked.
“He is…”
“Captain Lu.”
Su Ming didn’t say anything more. He put his hand into the helmet with the open visor, took out the black card attached to the inside of the helmet, held it tightly in his hand, and finally stuffed it into the sandwich of the exoskeleton.
That is the action record backup of the power armor.
The video inside may explain what happened here…
Hearing that there was no movement outside, Meng Liang nervously walked out of the room next to him.
Looking at the power armor standing there motionless, he swallowed.
“It’s over?”
“Ah, it’s over,” the battlefield veteran looked at the room at the end of the corridor and said with a complicated expression, “The manager’s office is just ahead.”
The three of them continued to move forward.
The old man on the battlefield reached out and touched the trap door. He thought there would be some mechanism blocking the door, but he didn’t expect the door to open easily.
Behind the door is a plainly decorated room.
There is only one side with no books on it, a desk, a chair, and a terminal on the desk.
Meng Liang walked forward quickly. After turning on the computer, he put his hands on the touch keyboard and operated. However, he couldn’t enter the system after trying for a long time.
“Use this.” Su Ming walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and handed over the hard drive that Yun Ye had given him before.
“Thank you.”
Meng Liang reached out to take it sheepishly and inserted it into the interface on the side of the terminal.
With the introduction of the intelligent hacking program, after a short operation, he finally got the password for the terminal in the manager’s office.
“The fire protection system in the power room has been activated, and the brood nest has been dormant… It seems that the Weilant and the researcher from the college are one step ahead of us.” Meng Liang breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down in his chair with relief. superior. ②
In fact, as Yun Ye said, the terminal in the manager’s office may not be able to bypass the core authority and shut down the reactor in the power room.
Fortunately, they took a second insurance and sent a team to the power room to manually activate the fire system, otherwise they might have faced more trouble than the previous evolved body.
“Anyway, the information here is what we need.” Su Ming cast an interested look at the terminal, “What is in it.”
“I’m watching, don’t worry…”
Meng Liang tapped his fingers on the virtual keyboard, quickly unlocking the encrypted file stored in the terminal and retrieving the information inside.
“Torch Project·······”
Looking at the document open on the screen, Meng Liang frowned the more he looked down.
Noticing the change in expression on his face, Warfield Elder asked immediately.
“What does it say?”
Meng Liang was silent for a moment, and finally moved a little away.
“See for yourself.”
Looking at the text on the screen, Mr. Warfield was dumbfounded.
Although there are no big problems in his daily communication, spoken language and written language are two different things. With the few words he knows, he is really no different from being illiterate.
Especially for this kind of professional literature, he couldn’t even understand the abstract.
Fortunately, Su Ming next to him took the initiative to read it out, which solved his problem of illiteracy.
“…When all the light has been extinguished and the world has fallen into the endless night, we will hold the torch high, dispel all darkness, and rekindle the fire of civilization.”
The warlord couldn’t help but ask.
“What do you mean?”
With his eyes fixed on the screen, Meng Liang lowered his voice and spoke.
“That’s the literal meaning…The purpose of the entire ‘Torch’ plan is not to address any existing problems, but to completely restart the process that has entered an infinite loop after all plans fail.”
After a pause, he continued.
“This is not a conventional asylum method, but a kind of shock treatment.”
Zhanji Lao looked at him blankly.
“…Is it necessary to do this?”
Perhaps because he is a player, his mentality is also that of a player, so he feels that the world is not that bad.
Although compared with the Era of Prosperity, the Era of Wasteland is undoubtedly like a rotten apple, he believes that it is not so rotten that it needs to be completely destroyed.
There are still many people living on this land, creating their own civilization on the ruins in their own way.
Meng Liang took a deep breath, stared at the screen and continued.
“I can only try to understand from their perspective… It is indeed difficult to clean up the ruins in the wasteland. Predators, aliens, mutants… and these are just small problems, and The more deadly mutant slime mold is difficult to completely eradicate even with nuclear weapons.”
“Based on the original plan stored in the terminal, the initiators of the Torch Project tried to customize a special system. The entire system mainly consisted of two parts: ‘fire’ and ‘handle’.”
“The goal of the former is to remove more than 99% of the organic life on the planet’s surface with low side effects, leaving only a pure and pure environment. The goal of the latter is to turn organisms that are beneficial to new civilization as much as possible The surviving 1% is stored in a container called ‘Handle’.”
“In the envisioned situation, when the ‘torch’ is ignited, surface organisms will be harmlessly removed, and the screened organisms stored in the ‘handle’ will be released. By then, the surface ecological environment will gradually return to prosperity. Era—and even before the Era of Prosperity.”
Looking blankly at the text in the terminal, Su Ming’s face was filled with disbelief.
He couldn’t believe it.
The No. 0 shelter that was rumored to end all suffering in the world and bring the Wasteland Era to a complete end turned out to be such a terrifying thing.
“··So the premise of this plan is to kill everyone on this planet?”
“Yes,” Meng Liang nodded, his expression also full of complexity, “To be precise, it is to kill all organic life except the ‘handle’.”
“In the era of the People’s Federation, such a terrifying plan could actually get a budget.” The battlefield atmosphere team couldn’t help but swallowed.
Even for the game’s setting, this sounds outrageous.
Meng Liang scrolled down the contents of the plan, and after a moment of silence, he finally defended the People’s Federation.
“This evil plan is not a project officially funded by the People’s Federation, but like many private shelters and commercial shelter projects, the main source of the budget is social funds. To put it more bluntly, it is mainly funded by a small number of social funds. Elite sponsorship. Although this program is supervised by the People’s Federation authorities like other commercial shelter programs, it is considered safe by the People’s Federation authorities because the activation sequence is at the last level.”
“…Can this be safe?” “Relatively safe, after all, this device will only be activated after confirming that all shelters and other asylum programs have gone bankrupt. In other words, then There should not be many living people on this planet by then, and the ones left are all alien species or other things.”
After a pause, Meng Liang continued.
“It is difficult for this kind of project to gain public support, so the project planners concealed the entire content of the entire plan, and most of the people involved in the research only knew part of the plan. For example… If you are the ‘Fire’ project If you are a researcher in the “Handle” project team, you will probably think that you are developing a secret weapon for the People’s Federation. At most, you will only know that you are participating in the development of some kind of solid shelter facility.”
“However, this plan failed in the end. One was that there was no time, and the other was that a researcher discovered the conspiracy that was concealed by the senior management
Conspiracy… When they realized that they were being used to create a weapon that could kill themselves, almost everyone stood up and opposed the project. ”
“Although the sponsors of the plan have repeatedly stated that the project will only be launched after all asylum programs expire, people are no longer willing to believe those elites who tell lies.”
“The Torch Project eventually went bankrupt with less than 20% of its budget consumed…Although there were countless asylum programs that went bankrupt in the last years of the boom era, there were only a few projects that went bankrupt due to collective opposition from grassroots personnel. Quite rare.”
When Meng Liang said this, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
The whole plan seemed like an accident.
Its existence was an accident, and its bankruptcy was equally an accident.
As for whether the People’s Federation authorities have ever been interested in the “super weapon capable of destroying 99% of organic life on the planet’s surface” mentioned in this unfinished blueprint, no one knows.
Everyone who participated in this plan, whether they were those who opposed it or those who supported it, have been turned into the dust of history.
“··Where are those unfinished materials? Where are they now?”
When he said this, Su Ming glanced at the pangolin next to him without any trace, and his hand unconsciously touched the gun at his waist.
Before coming here, he did not expect that Vault 0 would be a place like this.
However, the matter is now over, and the devil’s box has been opened. Regardless of whether the Torch Project is completed or not, the information related to that plan cannot fall into the hands of the Weilant people.
Coincidentally, the person he was wary of came together with him.
If there are just a few black boxes or a few power armors, just let the legion divide some and they will be divided. The managers are not such stingy people.
But the nature of this thing is completely different…·
It threatens not just the Alliance, but everyone on the planet.
If it really comes into the hands of the Weilant people, there is no guarantee that those big noses will not do more evil things… No one can guarantee what will happen in the end.
With his eyes fixed on the screen, Meng Liang’s expression became solemn.
“Data stored in the shelter server has been deleted.”
“Deleted?!” Su Ming looked at him blankly and said with an uneasy expression, “Only the experimental data was deleted…still keep the plan?”!
“The plan has been disclosed to the public after the entire project went bankrupt. It is not a confidential document, and the plan is saved in the main server program in read-only mode. Unless you obtain full administrator rights… only This terminal cannot be deleted.”
When he said this, Meng Liang, who was tapping the virtual keyboard with his fingers, suddenly stopped.
Noticing the change in his expression, Su Ming quickly asked.
“What’s wrong?”
Meng Liang hesitated for a moment, but considering that he was here alone and that the company was an ally, he finally confessed.
“The method of deleting that data is not very clever. If you take some time, it can actually be repaired… No, in fact, until two months ago, someone had been trying to repair the deleted data. Area X-13 In the archives, some terminals have records of frequent database access. As of two months ago, the repair work had been completed. ”
“However, the restorer did not upload the repaired data to the library…probably saved it on a mobile hard drive or something like that.”
“Area A place relatively close to the weapon.
A weird atmosphere lingered in the room.
While Su Ming was struggling with what to do, Mr. Battlefield was also struggling with whether to confess his identity as an undercover agent.
Is it really a good thing for the company to know that he is actually an undercover agent of the alliance?
It might not be an option to steal the data as a legion and let Ye Shi bring the data back to the alliance… Anyway, the outside world may not know what happened here.
Compared with those ancient survivor forces, the Alliance is still too weak… but if it can master the weapon described in the Torch Project, it may give the Alliance enough capital to be on par with the fallen empires.
Of course, it’s also possible to completely **** them off.
Warfield Lao found that the button that determined the direction of the world line seemed to have been thrust into his hand.
What to do?
Countless thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind.
When Verici instigated him to assassinate Griffin, he had never been as entangled as he is today.
“It’s really weird.”
Not noticing the two people beside him who were having their own thoughts, Meng Liang stared straight at the screen and whispered to himself.
“··I thought they deleted the data.”
The shelter power room.
In the reaction chamber where the reactor is placed, the dark red mother nest beats regularly just like the heart of the human body.
The reactor in the center has been almost completely swallowed up by it.
It can be clearly found that each time the mother nest agitates, the amplitude is slightly higher than the last time, and the frequency has also increased.
Looking at the hatching follicles through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Wali, holding the assault rifle, felt his scalp numb.
At this moment, there is only a floor-to-ceiling window separating them from the mother nest.
Although it was impossible for the newly hatched fruiting body to smash the window and rush into his face, it was not a problem to take their retreat along the corridor outside the power room.
Seeing one of the follicles burst and an unknown life form crawling out of it, Walli couldn’t help but urge.
“Hey, I’m from the academy, how long does it take?”
“Soon.”
“If you, the **** one, are my subordinates——”
“Shut up.”
Ignoring the rude Weiland man, Jiang Xuezhou stared at the console expressionlessly, operating with crackling hands.
Finally, the last firewall broke through, and an expression of relief finally appeared on her face.
“Done?!” Walli asked immediately.
“Yeah.”
With his hands away from the operation interface, Jiang Xuezhou turned his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling windows beside him.
Almost at the same time, in the reactor room separated by a wall from them, the ceiling partition opened outwards, and milky white mist crystals poured down like a waterfall, pouring down on the mother nest attached to the reactor.
The throbbing mother nest shrank for an instant, ducking aside as if it was powered by electricity. At the same time, it stretched out its fleshy tentacles, trying to block the source of the coolant.
I have to say that this guy is very smart and has a clear idea of self-rescue.
However, in the face of enough coolant to cool the reactor, this level of struggle is just futile.
Including those follicles connected by tentacles, the mother’s nest that was still lively and vigorous one second was instantly frozen into ice.
Even the water vapor in the air was frozen into ice crystals throughout the room, and a layer of white frost formed on the inside of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Seeing that the brood was frozen, WALL-E finally breathed a sigh of relief. While suppressing the muzzle of the gun, he finally relaxed his tense nerves.
“Well done.”
Jiang Xuezhou ignored him and just stared intently at the world suspended in time by the frost, feeling a little lost for a moment.
So beautiful…
Although there was also snow in the Wandering Swamp, she had rarely seen it like this.
At this moment, an untimely cough came from the side.
“Hey, I know you are too lazy to pay attention to me, but I still want to tell you that I plan to go to the manager’s office to meet my servants. If you want to stay here, that’s up to you. If you want to come with me, you can Hurry up.”
“Who wants to be with you?” Jiang Xuezhou rolled his eyes, but thought that his destination was also there, so he gritted his teeth. 3
Walli grinned and put the rifle on his shoulder.
The crisis has been resolved.
The Brood is the biggest threat here.
However, at this moment, a dangerous omen suddenly came into his mind, and he raised the muzzle of the gun almost reflexively and turned on the safety.
“Get down!”
Looking at the Weiland man’s sudden move, Jiang Xuezhou’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What are you doing——”
Before she could finish her words, gunfire suddenly erupted from the corner of the room without warning.
“Tu tu tu tu——!”
Almost at the same time, WALL-E quickly turned the muzzle of his gun and pulled the trigger. However, the bullet he fired seemed to hit a wall of air, only causing twisting ripples.
After being shot three times in the chest and once in the shoulder, Walli groaned and fell backwards to the ground
Where he was struck by the assault rifle in his hand, a slender figure appeared from behind the spreading ripples.
The man wore an exoskeleton made of light material, and under the breastplate that was cracked by bullets was a blue coat.
She holds a silenced pistol in her hand. Her strong figure and scars under her neck can be seen. Her strength is obviously unusual.
At this moment, there was a hint of embarrassment on the wheat-colored face. Obviously, the shuttle that Walli had swept past had not had no impact on her.
But compared to Wall-E lying on the ground, her condition is still much better.
Optical camouflage? !
Jiang Xuezhou was shocked and immediately ordered.
“Xiao Wang, kill her!”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, before her robot dog could fully deploy its weapon system, an EMP grenade rolled next to her robot dog. 6
At the same time, the man stepped forward and kicked the self-defense pistol out of her hand, and then a strong hand tightly strangled her neck.
“Wuka——”
It was difficult to breathe, and her face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
She felt as if her neck was clamped by an iron pliers. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break it open. Then her whole body was lifted up by that hand.
The flowing movements were so fast that she couldn’t even react.
But originally it was.
She is not a front-line combatant at all, and the person in front of her is far from the same level as her in terms of speed, strength, and experience.
After taking a look at the little sheep she was holding in her hand, the woman made a mocking sound from her mouth.
“Too weak.”
Lying on the ground and panting, Vanus quietly held the pistol hidden in his waist to look for opportunities while squinting at the unfamiliar face, unable to remember where he had seen her. 20
The only thing he recognized was the coat that would be familiar to any wastelander.
Although not everyone who wears it is a Vault Dweller, it is undoubtedly the standard for every Vault Dweller.
“Who are you?”
“What do you think?”
Having said that, the woman didn’t give him a chance to guess at all, and she didn’t intend to leave any loopholes for this dishonest guy.
The right hand holding the silenced pistol was raised casually, she aimed at his upper body and pulled the trigger until the last round in the magazine was empty.
Wali lay silently in a pool of blood with half of his face shot in a **** mold, and the pistol in his right hand also fell out.
Looking at her teammates who died in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xuezhou’s face completely lost all color. She looked at the person holding her neck in horror, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Especially when that person looked at her again, she even felt that her heart stopped beating for a moment.
“Well, you have a pretty face.”
Looking at the face full of fear, the woman’s eyes rolled, and a charming smile suddenly appeared on her wheat-colored face.
“It’s mine now.”
Ignoring Jiang Xuezhou’s desperate struggle, the woman took off a pair of C-shaped glasses from her waist and pressed them on her face forcefully.
The green signal light flashes.
Jiang Xuezhou, who was put on the neural connection device, instantly trembled as if he was electrocuted, and then his tense muscles and nerves relaxed.
Confirming that the victim had entered the virtual world, the woman smiled, patted her fair face, and left her in the corner.
“Take your time and enjoy it.”
“No need to thank me, I let you recall some beautiful moments at the last moment of your life.”
As she said these words, she reloaded the empty silenced pistol. At the same time, her wheat-colored skin was gradually replaced by the fair skin that had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
The changing optical image not only changed her appearance and hair color, but even changed her clothing, not even a tiny detail was spared.
However, compared to the broken optical camouflage, this holographic contouring system is not easy to use.
It won’t work if you’re far away, and it won’t work if you’re too close. You can only deal with it for a short period of time.
If you really want to become another person completely, you still have to read the other person’s memory carefully and undergo plastic surgery.
She will consider doing this when she returns.
If the respected Lord Guixu thinks it is necessary to use the identity of that female researcher…
Take out the time bomb hanging from her waist and stick it on the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.
After taking one last look at the frozen reactor, she turned and left the power room, heading towards Area X-13.
The operations on the surface should have come to an end.
The phase cannon deployed nearby is enough to paralyze the two airships, and the troops led by Lord Guixu himself will also launch an attack at the same time.
Now, it’s time for her to awaken her dormant compatriots and retrieve what belongs to them from this ancient ruin…
