Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 78 Unexpected Power

"It's nothing, it's almost there, ready to go back."

"……it is good."

Since Tang Jiumin didn't say much, Liu Ziyun didn't ask any further questions. In short, based on his understanding of Tang Jiumin, the other party should have made new discoveries.

However, as long as the other party can lead everyone to complete the task and return to Calamity Island, some secrets are normal.

Before leaving, Tang Jiumin raised his head and took a deep look at the mountain where the clan base was located.

Before, when he left the airdrop pod, he always felt that there was something incompatible with this mission, but at the time he couldn't detect what it was.

Along the way, some information collected later also proved that the strangeness was not an illusion.

And now, he finally knew what was wrong.

Human race?Protoss?
This is really fun.

However, not long after the two left, Tang Jiumin stopped again. He stopped Liu Ziyun next to him, "Wait a minute, don't leave yet, what do you see over there?"

"what?"

Liu Ziyun was thinking about other things, when he heard Tang Jiumin's voice, he subconsciously raised his head, followed the direction of the other party's gaze, looked carefully, and found that many robot wrecks were piled up in front of him.

He was surprised. "Robot wreck?"

"By the way, this place is around the Protoss base, so those things were abandoned by the Protoss? There is no way to turn on the lights here, and I didn't notice it when I came."

"It's really a waste of your enhanced vision, don't be sloppy, check it out in the past, I don't feel right."

The two walked up to the pile of machine wreckage.

All kinds of junk robots, with dropped parts and equipment.

"It doesn't seem to be a problem?" Liu Ziyun looked around and found nothing suspicious about the wreckage of the robot.

Tang Jiumin didn't answer, but just crouched in front of the pile of robot wreckage, examining it carefully, reaching out and fiddling with these things from time to time.

Seeing his behavior, Liu Ziyun sniffed and asked curiously, "Why, is there anything wrong with these wrecks?"

"It's not a small problem, my Officer Liu, come here!"

Liu Ziyun approached, while Tang Jiumin held a black object in his hand and reached out to hold it under Liu Ziyun's nose, "Smell, what does this smell like."

"It smells like engine oil, isn't it?" Liu Ziyun didn't quite understand it, but in just half a second, the whole person suddenly fell into shock, "Wait? This is so wrong!"

"Yes."

Tang Jiumin withdrew his hand and his eyes darkened, "Isn't the war on the edge star already over for a long time? According to the background given by the mission, the war on the edge star has been over for decades, so how can the energy used for fighting still smell. "

Thinking of this, Tang Jiumin picked up the tablet with the image of the robot on it.

What is shown in the image is that not far from them, there is a wreckage of a robot, and the exposed tubing is dropping the liquid drop by drop.

Apparently, the wreckage of this robot should have appeared recently.

The two looked at each other immediately.

something wrong.

Tang Jiumin noticed more clues, he took two steps back and looked down at the ground.

There are many footprints, many different from human beings. If you look at the footprints, they come from a certain road next to you.

"The footprints are still watery. If you look closely, there are even some fresh grass blades. The owner of the footprints should not be far away."

The two of them looked at the direction the footprints left. They looked at each other and let the robot track in front of them, rushing in the direction the footprints left.

As they walked, they found that this was a road leading to the front of the base.

And as time slowly passed, there was a little explosion in the direction of the main entrance of the base in the distance.

Soon, the sound of gunfire began to appear and became clearer. With a little burnt smell, Tang Jiumin and the two reached the finish line.

Not surprisingly, it is the main entrance of the base, and here, a battle is breaking out.

In order to avoid being discovered, Tang Jiumin operated a small robot to observe the situation.

This is a battle between the protoss and robots, and all kinds of robots are attacking the main entrance of the protoss base.

Vaguely seen, there are at least hundreds of them.

And against the robots, it was one turret after another, with blue energy balls emitting from the top, bombarding indiscriminately at the rushing robots.

This blue energy ball is like a cannon, and it will burst blue flames wherever it hits.

A snake-shaped robot was slightly accidentally hit in the torso, and its seemingly hard body exploded to two ends on the spot.

In the face of this kind of firepower, the robot could not push hard, and had to dodge around, fighting back with relatively old-fashioned guns.

But the effect they achieved was much weaker than this turret.

Because whether it's rockets or other shells, once they approach the turret, they will be blocked by a layer of blue light shield.

The bullets that are blocked are deflected under the influence of the photomask, and the impact on the turret is almost zero.

Tang Jiumin and the two watched for a while. Except for one turret, the mask was shattered into rubble under the robot's focus fire, and the rest were intact.

But, that's not the point.

The key is that the two of them finally saw the Sel God Race. They are similar to the image in the book, but now they are in a fighting form.

There are four of them, covered with a complete set of white armor, and holding a light blade in each hand.

These Sel Gods stood at the forefront of the front line, slashing left and right in the face of the approaching dozen or so beast-shaped robots. In Tang Jiumin's eyes, the more powerful robots did not have much counter-attack power in front of the Sear Gods.

Bullets are extremely ineffective, as the turret-like reticle blocks the bullet before it hits the Sel.

With this shield-like thing, the robot's most powerful fire threat is greatly reduced.

And close combat?As the books say, these Sels are good melee warriors.

In the face of these imitating claws and beast-tooth robots, they moved left and right, barely touching the robot a few times.

Even if they were hit, those masks only flickered for a moment, and returned to normal after two or three breaths.

Instead, they rushed into the robots, relying on the light blade, to defeat the robots one by one.

With that technique, the knife is slashed at the movable joint, and the probability of severing is at least [-]%, and then another knife is inserted into the head of the robot, resulting in the enemy.

Just then, another energy bullet was fired from the turret, hitting one of the robots.

The approximately three-meter-tall humanoid robot exploded into two pieces on the spot, and its upper body flew out.

Coincidentally, it happened to land within 50 meters of Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun.

Tang Jiumin raised his eyebrows, and he looked at Liu Ziyun, who happened to be looking at him too.

"Since everything has been delivered, we have to find a way to drag the robot back and see what's going on."

Where did the robots fighting the Sel protoss come from and why did the battles take place.

No need for Tang Jiumin to say, Liu Ziyun also knew the importance of this information.

"I'm coming." Liu Ziyun was about to stand up while bending over.

But Liu Ziyun was stopped by Tang Jiumin, he pointed to his feet.

Liu Ziyun's strength is very strong, but this kind of thing is obviously more suitable for him with vampire boots.

So, taking a light and fast pace, Tang Jiumin groped forward cautiously, approached the robot on the edge, dragged the opponent's arm, turned around and left immediately.

In the chaotic battlefield, no one would pay attention to a fallen robot, so Tang Jiumin safely dragged the robot back to the place where they were hiding and watching.

Sparks erupted from the surface of the entire body, and a liquid similar to motor oil continued to drip on the ground.

The robot that Tang Jiumin dragged back was obviously going to be scrapped.

Seeing this scene, Tang Jiumin immediately started, preparing to disassemble the robot that was about to fail to see the specific structure inside.

"We have to figure out who sent the robots to fight those protoss."

As a result, Tang Jiumin stretched out his hand halfway, but his whole body was tense.

In front of him, the robot, which was already unable to do so, suddenly grabbed Tang Jiumin's outstretched hand and struggled to get up.

Not only that, the robot turned its head to 'stare' at Tang Jiumin, and the sensor above its head kept flashing, making a sizzling electric sound.

Tang Jiumin was stopped by the robot. He stared at the robot vigilantly and gave Liu Ziyun a quick wink.

No need for Tang Jiumin to say more, Liu Ziyun immediately aimed the muzzle at the robot.

Getting ready to shoot.

But at this moment, the robot made a sound.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

"There are survivors, survivors, survivors..."

The robot finally made a human voice, fixedly looking at Tang Jiumin, and kept saying the word "survivor" without any intention of attacking, which made Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun stunned.

Suddenly, an electric spark exploded from the robot's body, and black smoke began to rise from its entire upper torso. At the last moment before the light on the top of its head went out, it suddenly said something different.

"Humanity will live forever!"

The robot released its hand and collapsed completely to the ground.

Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun looked at the robot on the ground, and couldn't help but look at each other, and became curious about the robot that suddenly made a human voice.

"It's interesting, but the robot is about to be repelled by the protoss. Take this robot away first. It may have clues we want to explore." Tang Jiumin raised his eyes and glanced at the gate of the protoss base, and then turned to Liu Zi. Cloud ordered.

"Okay, I'll come." Liu Ziyun replied in a deep voice.

The two of them didn't waste time, dragged the robot away from the battlefield quickly, and stopped when they couldn't hear any sound.

Liu Ziyun leaned the robot against the stone wall next to the mountain road.

"Remove its casing first and see what parts are inside." Tang Jiumin immediately started, took out a wrench, and began to dismantle the robot's casing.

This is what he brought in the underground laboratory. Since entering the trial, he has developed a good habit of taking care of the sheep.

"It's all about wiring and parts, and it doesn't look any different from other robots." Liu Ziyun frowned as he looked at the dense wiring of parts inside.

"Is it possible that the robot was set up in advance, and it was automatically tuned to a human voice when it encountered a survivor?"

"What about the purpose? The one you said may indeed have, but what is the purpose?"

Tang Jiumin stared at the robot, looked at it carefully, and felt more and more strange.

Liu Ziyun scratched his head, unable to think of a specific purpose.

At this time, Tang Jiumin suddenly said: "I thought of a possibility, Liu Bodhisattva, hold it up."

"possible?"

Liu Ziyun was stunned for a moment, holding the robot's body, frowning and shaking his head.

He didn't understand what Tang Jiumin thought of.

But Tang Jiumin groped for the robot's head, pressed a screwdriver into the gap, and twisted it hard.

With a little force, the robot's head casing opened a two-finger-wide gap, and the situation inside was visible to the naked eye.

"hiss……"

Liu Ziyun sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.

Tang Jiumin's eyes darkened slightly.

There is nothing like a chip circuit in the robot head at all. It is not an artificial intelligence brain, but a real human brain, but this human brain is inserted with several microchips, and the end is connected with a line of lines.

This is not a robot. According to the information they currently have, this kind of thing is called a cyborg life form.

The entire body is controlled by the brain and has human memory, but except for the brain, the rest of the body structure is a mechanical part.

"Have you thought of it?" Tang Jiumin said.

"What?" Liu Ziyun was puzzled when he heard Tang Jiumin's words.

"There should be only one such cyborg lifeform in the entire marginal star."

Liu Ziyun reacted immediately.

"You mean Dr. Hammer."

"The appearance of this robot is not accidental." Tang Jiumin's expression was deep, "In the entire marginal star, he should be the only one with this kind of technology."

"Dr. Hammer must not be dead. He is still alive. The attack on the Protoss base should also be to regain the crystal, the mission target we want to capture this time."

Liu Ziyun, who was on the side, immediately fell into deep thought when he heard what Tang Jiumin said.

This is really messed up.

Not only did they have to complete the mission, but they also had to guard against the doctor and his subordinate robots.

Don't look at them, it is very difficult to fight against the Protoss, but if you want to attack them.

It's as simple as crushing an ant.

"It's almost there, leave here first, it's hard to guarantee that those protoss of the Serre will come over." Tang Jiumin said.

"it is good."

The two came to a conclusion, no longer hesitated, closed the metal skull of the robot, and left to return.
