Abyssal Wanderer.

Chapter 57 NO.0039: Qianxia Sakura's Transformation

"The visual distance is about five kilometers, but because the base frame of this piece has been destroyed, it is not clear whether the laws of physics will take effect."

Qian Xiazakura who held up the binoculars said so.

Among the climbing equipment carried by everyone, there is a hook gun that slides for a short distance.But the rope is only about 500 meters long, and there is no way to throw it to the other side.

"Doesn't this all-terrain vehicle have an anti-gravity engine?"

136 asked.

"It's an auxiliary anti-gravity engine."

Jiang Zhou corrected:

"Just using the anti-gravity engine to reduce the weight of the vehicle part, we can't drive the car and fly over."

As he spoke, he took a look at the expected time of the "Breadcrumb Mark" to take effect—less than twelve hours.

"Does anyone here have a prosthetic body with flight capabilities?"

Recalling the scene where Booker stood in the air before, Jiang Zhou asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then...how about going around?"

another in the line asked.

"There is no end in sight on both sides of this crack... Maybe there is no end at all."

Qianxia Sakura spread her hands.

Even if there is, after bypassing, the breadcrumb mark will probably be invalid.

"In other words... there is nothing we can do. How about we take advantage of this time to write last words or something? It is said that the information in the dark net of the abyss will occasionally surface to the World Wide Web."

In the end, she concluded.

Jiang Zhou glanced down the abyss cautiously. He didn't have a fear of heights, but the scene still dazzled him.

"Then what if...you jump down?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

"The good news is that there is a high probability that you will not fall to your death, because the base construction program is only launched at depth 2, and the laws of physics will gradually become invalid when you go down. But the bad news is that you will fall into a deeper abyss. There, you don’t even need to encounter high-level malicious programs, just exist in it, and your mental index will drop to the same level as a watermelon.”

Qian Xiaying turned her head to look at Jiang Zhou, and then told him that if she wanted to commit suicide, it would be quicker to just take a gun and punch a hole in her head.

"And what if we don't get back? I mean, what about our physical bodies?"

Jiang Zhou continued to ask.

"People lost in the dark web of the abyss are called wanderers. Their bodies will be in a vegetative state and will not wake up. If they are transferred to a high-level life support warehouse and carefully maintain their vital signs, they can hang One life. But if you expect the company to do this, it is better to expect the fish to drive a bicycle. The bigger possibility is-forcibly hot-swapping, which will lead to the destruction of the substitute program, thereby activating the apoptosis program of the brain-computer interface. In other words In other words, at least we will walk in peace."

"There is another way."

Seeing that everyone's morale was getting lower and lower, 136 suddenly said:

"You know, we are now in the dark web of the abyss. Although we don't have aircraft. But maybe there is a malicious program nearby. We can search and hunt them, and then find them..."

"The probability of what you said is too low."

Qian Xiaying shook her head and said.

In the absence of bait, the malicious program that was wandering just happened to be found, and just enough to explode an aircraft on it that was enough for the five of them to fly over.

The time required must also be short enough.

It looks like the odds of winning the lottery.

But for this, Jiang Zhou was the first to stand up.

"It's better to have a low probability than to do nothing... Let's split up."

After all, it is a matter of probabilities, and acting separately can always make the denominator smaller.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement.

As Jiang Zhou said, no matter how low the probability is, it is better than doing nothing.

Right now, there are still eleven hours and thirty-seven minutes before the breadcrumb marks disappear.

…………

Among the five, Black Falcon-136, who had the strongest overall strength, acted alone, Jiang Zhou was in a group with Qianxia Ying from depth 2, and the remaining two adjusters with depth 1 and depth 2 were in a group.

At this juncture, even 136 didn't give Jiang Zhou any more care, and everything was allocated based on the balance of combat power.

Otherwise, from the perspective of survival rate alone, Jiang Zhou should be in a group with 136 to be considered safe.

"Feel sorry."

Before leaving, 136 said apologetically.

"What the hell do you mean by that?! Walking with me is something that needs an apology?"

Before Jiang Zhou could say anything, Qianxia Ying immediately stared and scolded.

"Anyway, when you are really in danger, don't leave him and run away."

Regarding this, 136 looked at Qian Xia Ying with a serious face and asked.

In Liao Qi's impression, Qian Xiaying is indeed full of people with the ability to seek good luck and avoid evil - the skill of running away when encountering danger is definitely at the expert level.

Even at the end of her life, Liao Qi felt that she must have escaped from the encirclement of the company's disciplinary forces.

No matter how you say it, it is always a bit disturbing to have a teammate who is a "I can't outrun a tiger and I can't outrun you" style.

"Don't I leave him and run away? The driver is Theseus, I have to worry about whether he will leave me and run away!"

Regarding 136's instructions, the expression on Qian Xiaying's face became even uglier.

"Then... let's not worry that the other party will abandon us and run away before we start? I definitely won't abandon you. After all, I'm a native who doesn't even have a depth of 1. It's dangerous to act alone. too big."

Jiang Zhou quickly smoothed things over.

Jiang Zhou's words had originally softened the expression on Qianxiaying's face.But when she saw 136 still staring at her, as if wanting her to make a promise, she immediately became irritable again.

"You fucking, I've already said it..."

"Xia Ying, do you still remember what we discussed before?"

He was referring to the vision of the mighty gift of "Theseus."

The importance of an Icarus member who hopes to break through the limits of his mind cannot be overstated.

But because Jiang Zhou didn't know about their previous discussion, he just watched them playing charades with a confused face.

Qian Xiaying stared at 136 for a long time, finally "cut", bit her lower lip and said:
"Okay, okay, as long as it's not a fatal situation, I will protect him... Satisfied?"

136 nodded, and then apologized:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, and I'm very hug..."

"Go, go, go, get out of here, you're a fucking idiot."

Qian Xiaying interrupted impatiently, then jumped onto the all-terrain vehicle, and gave 136 a middle finger through the window glass.

With the roar of the engine, the all-terrain vehicle drove away along the direction of the crack.

"What did you discuss earlier?"

The speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour instantly pulled the people behind him into black spots in the distance, Jiang Zhou asked very curiously.

"Children don't need to know about topics between adults."

Qian Xiaying replied with a displeased face.

grown ups?I'm 100 years older than you!
Jiang Zhou resisted the urge to complain, and simply didn't bother to ask any more questions, and concentrated on driving.

Liao Qi is in front of that universal printer at the moment, as long as he thinks, he can pull him to his side at any time.

A Depth 1 Adjuster who has been planned for an upgrade path is really worth a Depth 2 Transformer with a spare part.

Something really happened, and I may not know who will save whom.

"My transformation is very simple."

After driving for a while, Qian Xiaying, who had been looking out the window, said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhou didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this.

"There is only one modification at depth 1, the life-support module-winter. It can keep my vital signs running at the lowest level and enter a state similar to hibernation. This allows me to avoid the scanning of most vital sign detection equipment. , you can also enter a state of suspended animation."

While enhancing survivability, this adjustment has also been widely used in sniper assassination.A sniper loaded with the survival module-Dong can even lay an ambush in a certain place a month in advance, lying motionless on the spot until the target appears.

"And there is only one transformation of Depth 2, the Phantom 4 self-sensing nano-inkjet."

Qian Xiaying continued.

Seeing that the other party was probably sharing his battle information, Jiang Zhou asked:

"Is it those butterfly tattoos on your body?"

Qian Xiaying nodded, and then said:
"And their real function is this..."

As he said that, under Jiang Zhou's horrified gaze, the other party exploded into countless ice-blue butterflies.

What the hell!

The entire cab was filled with butterflies in an instant, and Jiang Zhou was so frightened that he almost took his hands off the steering wheel.

But then, a cold touch pressed his hands and straightened the steering wheel.

"Don't be nervous, it's just the effect of optical camouflage."

Qianxia Sakura's voice came from the passenger seat that was supposed to be empty.

Those butterflies gathered together again, and finally re-formed Qian Xiaying's appearance.

"Some nano-jet ink that can travel on my skin. Of course, through contact, I can also make them spread around-as long as I don't leave a distance of three meters, I can control it at will. However, on the other hand, In addition to basic optical camouflage invisibility, they can only appear as butterflies."

Qianxia Sakura said.

"Why a butterfly?"

Jiang Zhou was a little puzzled.

"Because the illusion 4 self-sensing nano inkjet that I am transforming is a model developed by Tao's Venus Digital Media Company for their virtual idol group Butterfly Girls - in essence, it is just a stage device. "

And Icarus doesn't have the technical ability to write other modes of action into it.

Qian Xiaying shrugged helplessly.

In other words, the Depth 2 adjusters who team up with themselves now have and only have two skills:
Play dead, and turn into a bunch of really nice butterflies.

Probably looking at Jiang Zhou's expression of daring to speak out was a little funny, Qian Xia Ying seemed to have eased her previous uneasy mood, she smiled and said:
"You're worried about my combat power, right? Indeed, I'm really not good at traditional battles that require people to be killed. But in the abyss and dark net, my combat power is much stronger than the average Depth 2 adjustment person .”

Qian Xiaying said so.

"After all, in addition to being an adjuster, I'm also an 'Anonymous' level hacker."
