Abyssal Wanderer.

Chapter 45 NO.002d: Horses

Just when Booker and Liao Qi were discussing what kind of terrifying existence "paradox" is.In the dark web of the abyss at depth 2, the "paradox" they were discussing was being driven around by a group of spider-like mechanical monsters.

……

Back in time not long ago, Jiang Zhou was driving an all-terrain vehicle on the main road of this semi-finished city following the signal of the "breadcrumb mark".

On the dead and dilapidated road.

Under the reflection of the shattered purple Xingxuan, the semi-finished buildings with surreal structure in the distance are faintly shadowed like a weird forest, making the whole city look like a weird magic land.

Since it is a demon realm, encountering monsters is a very normal thing.

When Jiang Zhou passed a certain intersection, the on-board computer suddenly sounded a rapid alarm:

[High threat target detected, repeat, high threat target detected]

Accompanied by the high-pitched voice prompts, a red warning light flashed in the cab.

However, before Jiang Zhou had time to react, a few heavy things jumped from the platforms of the unfinished buildings on both sides of the road to the roof of the all-terrain vehicle with a few "bang bang bang" sounds.

"Crack clap..."

He heard the fine sound of scissors being cut quickly—the things that jumped up were approaching the roof of the cab.

Glancing at the already high speed on the dashboard, Jiang Zhou gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator.

He wanted to throw those things on the roof of the car directly by changing the speed suddenly.

The moment the speed soared, Jiang Zhou's field of vision was stretched and narrowed.

At the same time, the violent acceleration caused him to sink into the seat.

but……

"Crack!"

A sharp blade with serrated edges pierced directly through the alloy roof of the driver's cab, and then nailed it to the driver's seat with a "click"... between Jiang Zhou's knees.

Really only a little bit.

Jiang Zhou felt a chill rushing up from behind.

If it wasn't for the fact that he leaned back due to inertia, the previous stroke should have penetrated his skull and spine together.

But before he felt lucky, the slender sharp blade seemed to start moving again.

Seeing the sharp sawtooth less than two centimeters from the tip of his nose approaching, before it was about to split him in two, Jiang Zhou instinctively stepped on the brake.

"Oh!"

The sudden stop brought about by the excellent braking system directly threw out those things lying on the roof.

Including the guy who stabbed the sawtooth blade into the cab earlier, its sawtooth blade cut open the alloy roof with sparks all the way, shattered the front windshield, and finally flew to the road ahead, rolling on the ground and setting off a burst of waves. dust.

It wasn't until this time that Jiang Zhou saw clearly what it was that jumped onto the roof of the car earlier.

Those were several fusiform metal spiders as tall as a person, and the sharp blades that pierced into the cab earlier were their slender legs.

The reaction speed of these things is astonishing. The moment they were thrown into the air by the sudden brake, they closed their eight limbs to protect the body, and turned into the shape of a football to reduce the impact they would receive.

After stopping and rolling on the ground, with a "clang", these fusiform metal spiders unfolded again and returned to their original shape, standing up in unison.

They don't have a "head" structure, but a row of lights on the torso with extended legs.And as they stood, the blood-red indicator lights that looked like eyes flashed one by one, revealing a dangerous aura like a beast.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou stepped on the accelerator of the all-terrain vehicle again, intending to run over it directly.

A correct choice, but the vehicle does not start.

"呲呲..."

Electric sparks shot out from the dashboard - when the fusiform metal spider was thrown out earlier, its sharp legs just happened to split the on-board computer installed behind the dashboard.

And at this time, those metal spiders had already started rushing towards him.

"Fuck!"

Unbuttoning the seat belt with one hand, Jiang Zhou picked up the "Candle Dragon" Gauss rifle placed next to the seat with the other hand.

Before the other party was about to break into the cab, he jumped out of the car. Jiang Zhou retracted the all-terrain vehicle into his backpack space through the mandala, and pulled the trigger to fire at those deadly things.

The metal spider running in the front has jumped into the air at this moment, intending to rush directly into the cab like a spiral.But after Jiang Zhou put the all-terrain vehicle in his backpack, it was directly exposed to Jiang Zhou's gun at a very close range.

Countless fine sparks bloomed on its metal shell, and dozens of slender bullets directly penetrated its body.

After it fell to the ground, it was already paralyzed.

the first...

Jiang Zhou thought, and then he continued to fire.

The electromagnetically driven Gauss rifle was almost silent when firing. Countless bullets as thin as thorns, under Jiang Zhou's strafing, spread into a firepower net to block the opponent's way.

But except for the first spider, which Jiang Zhou picked up and knocked down, he didn't succeed until he emptied the entire magazine.

The moving speed of those things almost turned into silver afterimages in Jiang Zhou's eyes.And they are all very flexible and smart. The moment Jiang Zhou opened fire, they immediately spread out, looking for cover and concealment.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhou ran while fighting, and before the bullets ran out, he had already retreated into a nearby building.

Although judging from the opponent's flexibility, these metal spiders should be better at indoor complex terrain combat.But the enemy is outnumbered, and I will be attacked from the front and back in an open position. Once the bullets are exhausted, there may not even be time to change the magazine.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou leaned against the wall, broke off the magazine of the Candle Dragon Gauss rifle, and then inserted it again.

In other words, why do you have to design a reloading action that breaks off the clip and reinserts it after a second.Can't you just have unlimited bullets?

While complaining silently in his heart, he paid attention to the movement around him.

Strange, haven't those metal spiders chased them yet?

"Crack!"

A sharp serrated blade pierced through the wall against which Jiang Zhou was leaning. This time, it directly brushed against his body, leaving a not-so-deep scar on his ribs.

And when it was retracted, those sharp toothed barbs also took away a lot of his flesh and blood.

"Fuck!"

Holding back the severe pain, Jiang Zhou turned around and pulled the trigger towards the wall behind him.

…………

They didn't intend to kill me...

About 10 minutes later, Jiang Zhou, who was covered in bruises, thought to himself.

During these 10 minutes, he kept dealing with the metal spiders in this building.

The opponent has a numerical advantage, is difficult to kill, moves quietly, and has excellent weapons.

Almost every time he encountered those metal spiders, he would add a few scars with deep visible bones.

Although it's just a substitute program, the substitute generated entirely based on the real body, the pain felt when injured, and the impact on subsequent actions after the injury are all real.

Several times, he was almost killed by the elusive jagged blade.

But each time he managed to survive.

At first, Jiang Zhou thought that after absorbing the tactical memory, he had excellent fighting skills and was able to deal with these monsters.

But gradually, he realized that the other party was playing with him.

Or, has some other purpose.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for me not to have met more than two metal spiders at the same time; and it would be impossible for the other party to avoid my vitals just right every time they sneaked up.

Covering the bleeding wound on his arm, Jiang Zhou limped along the empty and dilapidated corridor.

At this time, a fusiform metal spider sprang out from behind him.

The bullet in the Gauss rifle in his hand had been emptied, but Jiang Zhou didn't even bother to reload it.

At the end of the corridor was an ornate door, which seemed to lead to some kind of hall.

If it wasn't for the cat-and-mouse-like bad taste, then what the other party wanted to do was actually to lead him here.

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

Sure enough, as long as he kept moving forward, the metal spider that emerged would just keep a distance and follow behind him.

No, there is more than one.

When Jiang Zhou turned his head again, dozens of metal spiders appeared in the corridor behind him.

It was neat and uniform, as if it was some kind of escorted execution team.

Near the door at the end of the corridor, there were several breaks in the floor.

Although Jiang Zhou thought he could jump over there, before he got there, the spiders behind him passed him with the sound of "chachacha".Then he stretched out his legs and lay down on those collapsed places, paving a road for him to extend continuously.

This situation made Jiang Zhou hesitate for a moment.In the end, he still chose to jump over.

Then, he took a deep breath and pushed open the ornate door.

Behind the gate, as he expected, is a magnificent hall.

And in the middle of the hall, there is a textile machine that is out of place with the surroundings no matter how you look at it.

A... woman wearing a black veil sat in front of the loom.

"Hello, visitor from the physical layer."

The door closed slowly behind Jiang Zhou, and the other party spoke in a sweet voice.

Immediately, her voice immediately became distorted.

"I'm sorry, my personality interface is... a little bit... When the agreement was generated, I encountered obstacles!!! Squeak——hiss [error code413]??? So——in In the communication, it may bring you~~~bring...

"Discomfort."

The pronunciation of the word "discomfort" was standard and sweet, she raised her head as she spoke, and lifted her black veil, revealing her face to Jiang Zhou.

Half of her face is twitching muscle fibers, half of her face is an unfinished gray and white model, and the corners of her mouth are constantly trembling, as if a patient with facial paralysis is trying his best to smile.

"What's your purpose?"

Suppressing his anxiety, Jiang Zhou asked.

"You, you, you, you... Let me try my trial! Be my...

"Horse."

After saying the word "horse" forcefully, she stood up and walked slowly towards Jiang Zhou.

On the way over, she said in a very seductive tone with a voice that sounded like it was recorded with a tape recorder:

"Please be a steed for me to ride on."
