I can downgrade maintenance

Chapter 174
The feedback from the Burning Shadow scouts showed that their progress was not smooth.

Relying on their superb shadow escape ability, they did not encounter the enemy, but they were powerless to overcome Cangren's high-tech door lock.

Although tens of thousands of years have passed, energy still exists in this hive capital that has become an underground palace.

In fact, the reason why the building materials that make up the underground palace did not fail and disintegrate is also related to energy.

However, this is complicated. Extraordinary power intervenes, resulting in some unknowable changes.

Even the system couldn't explain the specific reason plainly. Zhou Ning was confused by a bunch of technical terms and threw it aside.

If you can't open the door, then tear down the wall.

It's not the speed mode of life and death, so take your time.

The five-person adventure team was pushed back to the third battlefield in one breath, which retreated more than a dozen areas.The layout along the way has varying degrees of damage.

Hu Qidu almost lost his mentality.

When he first came, he thought he had brought three times the materials, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that it was not enough.

If there is no material to set up a barrier circle, it is impossible to talk about steady and steady development.

Lang, even if he is willing, Yu Qing and the others may not be willing to look so dangerous.

After all, it was agreed in advance that it was mainly hard work, and the risk was not that high.

No. On the 14th day, after some careful consideration, Hu Qi discussed with the four of them:
"Yu Qing, Yao Jie, Li Shi, the three of you, otherwise keep the back road, and I will investigate deeply with Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao..."

Hu Qi's proposal was finally passed.

The three of Yu Qing are not unreasonable, the task has been carried out to this extent, and they will get nothing in one shot or two.

What we are facing are very realistic problems, not Hu Qi making things difficult, so proper tolerance is necessary.

In fact, it mainly depends on Zhou Ning.

If Zhou Ning doesn't lose the chain, this will work.

Among the five, he is the one most likely to fight his way out and break out of the encirclement.

At that time, as long as Hu Qi's legs and feet are agile and he doesn't paddle, there is a high probability that he will be able to rush out.

With such a worst-case plan, the expedition can continue.

Otherwise, you have to go back and re-plan your preparations.

If so, there are many variables.

After all, the channel has been opened, and the impact has already been caused. Half a month and 20 days may not be a big problem. Half a year and six months, who knows what will happen by then, will the preparations made be insufficient again, or simply invalidated?
Zhou Ning said: "Let me risk my life, no problem, I will add a condition.

Hu Qi's task goal is optimal.

My mission objective is secondary.

Then see if you can find Yinzhuang and get energy coins. "

Although Zhou Ning's condition made the four teammates a little unhappy, it was at least reasonable.

Otherwise, why go through life and death for Hu Qi's project?

Yao Jie asked: "Then what is your goal?"

Zhou Ning showed off the stick: "Good things like this. Of course, it's not an object, but a technology."

Hu Qidao: "What if I can supply you with a very good related technology?"

"It depends on how good it is. It's so good that my secondary goals can be eliminated.

It's great, after you complete the task, go to Yinzhuang.

After Yinzhuang, if you have the conditions, help me complete the goal, and I don't need my share of the Yinzhuang profit.

If the situation is really bad, then forget it.But you have to honor the promise I made to clear monsters with the flame orb. "

Hu Qi asked the three of them again: "What do you say?"

The three expressed no opinion.

Hu Qidao: "Okay, then it's settled."

This afternoon, the coolies were still checking for leaks and repairing the gaps. Hu Qi found Zhou Ning and took out a bunch of finely crafted metal parts.

"That's it. It was discovered in the deep ground. The descendants of criminals used this device to escape. I guess this thing is very valuable. Unfortunately, it didn't bring me the idea I wanted. Maybe you have a way to use it."

'Ding' The system prompts that the stargate components are found, and the intact rate is 98%.

Zhou Ning frowned: "Is this thing incomplete?"

Hu Qi took out a very delicate heart-like object from his pouch: "Help me get what I want, it is yours. How about it?"

Zhou Ning emphasized: "The agreement we discussed before also counts."

"of course."

"Okay, let's go."

On the 14th day, the channel was filled and repaired, and the barrier was briefly repaired, but no operations were carried out at night, and there was no garrison.

Hu Qi wanted to make sure whether it was people or things that caused the monsters, and also wanted to know whether the undead only wreaked havoc when they went up.

No. On the 15th day, with a full meal, a group of people went down to the depths of the underground palace early.

The barrier is in good shape and has not been attacked.

"So, how do those bugs or undead detect our arrival? What makes them hate us so much?"

No one could answer Yu Qing's question, but Zhou Ning had some ideas.

He slandered: "What if the whole nest has the characteristics of living things to some extent? Black beetles and undead are all bacteria living in their intestines..."

The reason for complaining is that during this period of time, his Burning Shadow scouts have also encountered severe challenges.Even if they can completely isolate the breath of living people through the power of shadow, they will still be besieged at night.

The situation is so unreasonable, the enemy's detection ability seems to be absolute, as long as you exist, it can find it.

Therefore, apart from the living thing theory, Zhou Ning couldn't think of any reason to make the early warning systems of the black beetle and the undead so awesome.

According to what was agreed in advance, Yu Qing, Li Shi, and Yao Jie guaranteed a smooth escape route.

Zhou Ning and Hu Qi explored deeply.

One of the two masters the power of wind and the other masters the power of shadow, both of them can be nimble and silent.

Hu Qi relies on item positioning and possesses a DPS-like navigation ability. Zhou Ning plays the role of a thug and is alert to the movement around him.

The two were very efficient, crossing streets and alleys, and soon traveled more than ten kilometers to a deeper area.Then the road was blocked by ruins.

Hu Qidao: "Dig here first, and I will let the soul puppet find other downlink channels."

Zhou Ning objected: "I think it's better to let the soul puppet go back, explore the optimal route, and see if we can find a few more retreat routes by the way, just in case.

It will not take much time for us to get through the ruined area in front of us. "

Hu Qi also had a very high demand for ensuring the escape route as much as possible. Since Zhou Ning didn't mind being a coolie, he was naturally happy to be able to do both.

So the soul puppet turned back, and Zhou Ning acted as an excavator.

Here is a small square, at least half buried in ruins.

The extent of the collapse is more serious, and the remaining ones can feel the energy breath.

It is simply speculated that the area lost its energy supply for some reason, and then disintegrated under the influence of the years, while those parts that have not been cut off still completely exist.

Zhou Ning's cleaning method is referred to as Hot Wheels.

The wind, like a wind fire extinguisher, is of course more powerful and concentrated, blowing up gravel and sand.

Fire, that is, the flame orb, rolled and rotated to form a burning zone, using these gravel and sand as materials, and refining it with fierce fire.

So the gravel flew away, the smoke and dust billowed, and the large piles of concrete clots, together with fine slag and sand, were like ice cubes and crushed snow, quickly melting under the heat of the scorching sun.

In fact, this is the only way to deal with the ruins relatively neatly.

If it's just shoveling and moving, the venue may not be enough.

Moreover, under the action of this kind of combustion, a sintered and solidified area can be formed, which is equivalent to allowing the ruins to form a shell under the background of self-framing. It is not an exaggeration to forcibly burn out a passage.

Zhou Ning pushed forward, Hu Qi helped behind, and used a talisman to stick a sticker on the burnt shell. After activating it, it increased the firmness of the shell. At least within three to five days, it was comparable to a one-piece metal shell. sturdy.

It can advance more than 400 meters, and it took less than three hours. The speed is not fast, but it is okay.

The ruins were opened up, and the harvest from the soul puppet side was also good, and there were no obstacles.

The two took a short rest and continued on their way.

After advancing about 300 meters, a light appeared ahead, and Hu Qi said: "It's very close."

Turning a right angle, a building with a unique shape like a movie theater appeared in the vision of the two of them.

There is an exclusive small square in front of the building, surrounded by illuminated street lamps, ground lamps, and spotlights, which are still operating normally.

The whole area is isolated.It's like first using walls to isolate a room in everyone's home, and then placing a dollhouse in the center of the room.

The first impression given to people is that the degree of attention is very high, and it is very high-end.

But compared to these, Zhou Ning is more concerned about the green belt of the square.

He pointed to Hu Qi: "Look."

Hu Qi asked: "Ancient plants?"

Zhou Ning shook his head: "No, they are well taken care of."

The growth of plants is arbitrary, and the orderly shape is taken out, which means that there are gardeners.

Of course, it was not the gardener who greeted the two of them, but the guard puppet.

As the two entered the square, the shrill siren sounded, and the puppet appeared.

Both of them were very helpless, and it was useless if their feet didn't touch the ground. This was a force field induction.As long as the two of them exist, they will naturally be noticed when they enter the area.

The puppet is in a humanoid form, and even though it is wearing armor, it still looks thin. It is said that the Cangren have such a form.

"The creator created puppets based on himself, trying to make these things carry hope. What hope? BIU BIU BIU!"

Zhou Ning complained in his heart, and went directly to meet him.

The puppet raised its arm, and the attached weapon with a black hole and large-caliber barrel fired. 'sudden! ’ The sound was muffled but powerful, like a shotgun firing a slug.

Zhou Ning didn't dodge at all, but used the bone shield sliding shovel at the critical moment.

The bone shield that opened instantly successfully blocked the puppet's shooting, and an explosion of light was generated three inches in front of him, like a bottle of colorful luminous paint hitting the wall and exploding.

Brilliant bone beheading, just a flash of light, the puppet was chopped into two pieces.

Bone Fiend slashed in succession, one, two, three, four!

Originally, it could hit 1-3 times in a row, but now it can hit up to 7 times in a row.

It's just that the attack power has increased a bit, and the alloy creations in front of him can't stop him.After the fourth company, the puppets of a group were abolished.

Hu Qi is not as sharp as Zhou Ning.He first used the power of Shadow Shade to blur his body and shoot the puppet into the air. After confirming the shooting frequency and interval of the puppet, he suddenly appeared behind the puppet that had just shot. The daggers staggered and strangled the puppet's neck.

'Clang! 'In the ear-piercing sound, sparks flew and the head fell to the ground.

This move was seen by Zhou Ning when he was in Mirage Village, and it still has the same taste. As long as the beheading is successful, it will disappear again immediately, but it is much more powerful. Spirit general, it is estimated that full blood will be killed by one move in seconds.

What followed was a massacre. A dozen or so puppets didn't last even a minute, and they were all finished.

In fact, these puppets are not weak, not only strong, but also have double repair ability similar to memory metal and nano repair.Whether it is against blunt or sharp objects, it is not very frightening.

But if the limbs are cut off directly at every turn, there is no way.Given some time, it might be possible to stage a scene where the body is headhunted and the stumps are assembled, but at least in a short period of time, they cannot be reassembled.

What's more, both Zhou Ning and Hu Qi are cautious. After beheading, Zhou Ning swept the wreckage into the system and sold it as scrap iron.

Hu Qi saw it and didn't say much.These golems do have research value, but not worth it to him.How do you do research?

After overturning the puppet, the two were about to drive straight in when a new puppet appeared.

If the previous puppet was the licker in Resident Evil, then this new one is the tyrant, the ultimate product of the T virus.

It is not simply an increase in tonnage and size, but also an overall improvement in quality.

Like the difference between a regular piece and a perfect masterpiece.

The puppet's body is six-sided, with an arm on each side.The head is like a small pot, and the eyes are a small bright spot, like a glass cover inside, which can rotate 360 ​​degrees, except for the bottom of the feet, there is no dead angle for observation.

"Concentrate!" Zhou Ning said, going up first, aiming at the shoulder joint of one arm with the weapon in his hand.

The puppet's six arms were unleashed, and the end of each arm spit out a high-energy light cone. These high-energy weapons can stab the starship armor like a sharp knife piercing a paper shell.

But it can't pierce the bone shield.

Zhou Ning activated the bone shield twice in a row, just to output as much damage as possible in this short period of more than 1 second.

And activate the bone shield for the second time, followed by the sliding shovel, and slipped after hitting.

Hu Qi naturally understood Zhou Ning's routine, and directly flashed the relay, a pair of magic weapon daggers shone brightly, and wounded the puppet at the place where Zhou Ning had cut it, twisting it like a pair of scissors. One cut, followed by a flash away.

This time, although the puppet's arm has not been completely broken, it is not connected much, and the repair at the nanometer level is going on crazily.

But Zhou Ning rushed back again, and continued to slash against the bone shield...'Crack! 'The arm was broken at the root.Then Zhou Ning took the lead and sold it to the system junk shop.

Never give the other party a chance to pick it up, connect it and use it again. If you have the ability, you can create an arm out of nothing.

Not to mention, puppets can really do it!

Just like the MK85 used by Iron Man in the reunion battle against Thanos, its component assembly is nano-scale, and it seems to the naked eye to appear out of nothing.

Zhou Ning and Hu Qi were not discouraged because the puppet quickly grew a new arm.

Both of them knew that the puppet's loss was real, but they were just making up for it by making up for it.As long as you repeatedly let it lose, sooner or later you will not be able to make up for it.

So what follows is a fight that tests skills and tactics.

This fight does not depend on the light cone in the puppet's hand, it can be used as an extraordinary armor-piercing cone, and it can also spray out light energy from the hand like Iron Man.

Nor does it lie in the puppet's so-called one-eyed, which can shoot a high-energy laser that lasts for 1.5 seconds from time to time.

But in this force field, there is no extraordinary factor, no matter Zhou Ning or Hu Qi, the extraordinary force used by the two comes from within themselves.

This is not only a matter of reserves, but also a matter of habit.

Fortunately, both of them are excellent in this respect.

As a result, one arm after another was removed and taken away by the way.

By the sixth article, the leg armor of the puppet has disappeared.

Article [-] The arm is lost, and the puppet becomes a naked body to fight.

No.17 arms disappeared, the puppet has no arms to use.

"What's next, will you blow yourself up?" Zhou Ning let out a long breath with a sense of accomplishment, and vomited by the way.This kind of play that forced the opponent to the point where he was at the end of his game made him very happy.

After all, the puppet failed to self-destruct, and its designer did not equip it with this function.

Prompted by the system, Zhou Ning cut off the central control system with a sword, causing it to be paralyzed, and then threw it to the system.

No matter what back tricks it has, as long as the system prompts that it can be recycled, it means that no matter how many back tricks it has, it is meaningless to the system.

"I hope the things in this facility are worthy of our performance."

Hu Qi was also obviously in a good mood, and said in a relaxed tone: "I accept your good words."
