Chapter 99 NO.0062: The Second Dive

The third deep diving chamber was still the same as before, as cold as a morgue.

More than a dozen anti-gravity drones shuttled back and forth between the coffin-like deep-diving sub-cabins, checking these expensive deep-diving equipment one by one with light blue scanning beams.

And waiting for their arrival here is neither Ye Qian, the supervisor of the third deep submerged warehouse, nor his adjutant You Fei.

A pitch-black armored figure was sitting cross-legged next to an oversized submersible.

It's not a person wearing an exoskeleton armor, but a human-shaped armor—Jiang Zhou can see this from the opponent's magnetic restraint joint structure and the hollowed-out heat dissipation design on the torso.

In addition, the armored man was about as tall as Qian Xiaying just at the sitting height. Jiang Zhou estimated that if the opponent stood up, he would have to be at least three meters tall.

Perhaps feeling the crowd approaching, the visor on the opponent's face slowly opened, and the six cameras lit up one by one like six blood-red eyes.

"We meet again, guerrillas."

The man "opened his mouth" mockingly.

There was no mouth in his face, and the words came from a honeycomb speaker under his visor.

And this person's voice sounded like a vigorous young man in his early twenties.

Jiang Zhou remembered the voice.

This person is one of the search and rescue teams who went to depth 2 to look for these "mine cards" and came from Cerberus.

It is probably the same as the Aconitum-1 that interrogated me earlier, and it is the same type of natural regulator.

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

As the blood-red infrared camera scanned each of them, the man continued:

"Although for some people, it is not the first time we have met, but let me introduce myself first. I am the deputy captain of the Wolfsbane Unit under the Offensive Security and Defense Coordination Center, Aconitum-23. I will be in In the next deep dive operation, I will be responsible for the safety of you mice."

Having said that, the man paused, as if giving them time to digest.

Then he continued:

"It's an honor, rats. It's your greatest honor to have an adjuster with a depth of 4 walking on the road of Cerberus with you."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and looked down at the crowd like a giant, blood-red lines like blood vessels slowly lit up on his body.

A sense of unspoken oppression permeated the crowd.

It's actually depth 4?

After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Jiang Zhou couldn't help becoming nervous for a while.

Whether it is used as a division of the abyss darknet, or used to judge the degree of transformation of adjustment personnel, depth 3 to depth 4 is a big hurdle.

When judging the depth of the dark net in the abyss, depth 3 and depth 4 distinguish two major layers: the surface light zone and the low light zone—most of the technological blueprints salvaged from the surface light zone can be reverse-analyzed and imitated. Even if there is no way to restore it in reverse, at least its engineering ideas can be roughly understood with today's technological level.

However, most of the technological blueprints salvaged from the low-light zone are completely incomprehensible to their design ideas based on human cognition. Most of the finished products can only be produced from universal printers - unless there is a violent one-to-one reproduction, there is no way to reverse the restoration.

But among the adjustment people—especially the adjustment people walking on the path of upgrading—breakthrough depth 4 means that the adjustment people have completely eliminated all the weaknesses of the original people except the brain. Except for individual pathways, for the adjustment of depth 4, as long as the brain is not destroyed, it is impossible to determine the death of the adjuster.

All in all, if it is really what I feared, the other party intends to take advantage of the opportunity to dive into the abyss and dark net to do something. It's hard to say what chance you have to resist if it's done by an adjustment person with a depth of 4.

Right now, he can only hope that nothing will happen...

"All in all, considering that the depth we dived this time is only depth 2, as long as you can absolutely abide by my arrangement, I can absolutely guarantee your safety."

After standing up, Aconitum-23 continued.

But having said that, the second in command of Wolfsbane Army couldn't help muttering in his heart.

It's just taking a group of mice to the location of depth 2 for an "outing". Even if you count the special task, it's not necessary to wake up the second head, right?

Awakening the second head is a commonly used term for the Ascension Path Cerberus. This upgrade path, named after the hell three-headed dog, can load three prosthetic bodies of different specifications according to different battlefield needs.

The first, second, and third heads correspond to two-meter, three-meter, and five-meter prosthetic arms respectively.

Every time it is upgraded to a level, the output of the prosthetic body itself, as well as the firepower carried on it, will increase exponentially compared to the previous level. And when it reaches the "third head", its frontal combat effectiveness can be described as a one-man army.

For example, if it was more than a hundred years ago, he could easily annihilate a deployed armored composite brigade within 24 hours by himself.

However, as the number of "heads" increases, the mental pressure on the adjusters will also increase together, so generally they will maintain the state of "one head" in daily life.

It's just such a small matter... I don't know why my captain is so cautious.

After finishing the meditation, Aconitum-23 felt the irritability surge in his heart again, and could not help complaining in his heart.

However, Aconitum-23 did not struggle for too long, but immediately clapped his hands lightly - because he was worried about scratching the newly painted decorative paint, in fact, he did not really clap, but played the clapping sound. Imitation—then said:

"Okay, everyone, follow the instructions and lie down in your corresponding deep dive compartment. I will give you about ten minutes to choose the weapons you need in Lingbo Prison, and then..."

"See you in the abyss."

…………

This time in Lingbo Prison, Jiang Zhou stuffed many heavy weapons into his storage space. For nothing else, if the Aconitum-23 intends to harm them, then these weapons will be able to break the defense at least—of course, the premise is that they can hit the opponent.

Jiang Zhou still remembers that when he saw these armored men on the abyss dark net before, they had a Mach ring on the way of flight - but at that time, they all seemed to be more than five meters tall, and they didn't know the opponent in this state. Can it be done.

If it's the same... If you fly at supersonic speed, let alone yourself, even if you call Liao Qi over, it's hard to hit him.

Of course, that being said. But instead of taking some light weapons that can hit the target but can only scrape the skin, it is better to bring heavy weapons that can pose a certain threat.

Even if it is an insignificant threat, there are two concepts between having and not having.

Looking at the rail rifle and the melta grenade sticker in his hand, Jiang Zhou thought so.

"Are you ready, Brother Theseus?"

Just when he was in a daze, 136 walked up to him and asked, the other side's expression was still not very good at the moment.

"of course."

Jiang Zhou stored the weapon into his memory space and replied.

The "of course" he answered was not only that he had already selected the weapons needed for this dive.

At this moment, in the basement of the Nord resettlement area, in the base of the Icarus Liberation Front for storing universal printers, as Liao Qi, he has already completed the mental test.

0.974...

Compared with 0.978 at depth 1, Liao Qi's mental index dropped only 0.004 after completing the adjustment and transformation of depth 2.

Whether it's Booker or Bai Dong, when they saw this result, their jaws almost dropped - you must know that this is the depth 2 of Icarus' path, even Corrett fell a lot back then .

As for this, Jiang Zhou just shrugged and said that he was very talented—otherwise, how could he explain it?

Besides, to a certain extent, I am indeed very talented.

In addition, Jiang Zhou actually had some doubts about whether even the outrageous number of 0.974 was Liao Qi's real mental index.

But anyway, after going through the inspection process. Right now, Liao Qi and Booker are ready to be dragged into the abyss and dark web as their "summoned beasts" at any time.

In short, everything is ready, and as the countdown to the sky in Lingbo Prison ends, Jiang Zhou once again feels that he is compressed like a file, and then falls, passing through the wall that seems to lie on the edge of the universe, and falling into the bottomless abyss .

During this period, he was still worried. What if I dived this time and encountered that huge existence from the bottom of the abyss with countless tentacles again.

I have now completed the depth 1 adjustment of the Path of Theseus, and Liao Qi, who is a controllable element, has also completed the depth 2 adjustment of the Path of Icarus—I don’t know what changes this will bring.

In case, if this time I dived, I did a bigger job than before, wouldn't my body in the base reality be directly finished?

Fortunately, what Jiang Zhou was worried about did not happen.

After crossing the wall symbolizing the "Styx", Jiang Zhou saw the endless sea of ​​data... calm and boundless.

And with the development of the base construction program of the deep submersible chamber, an extremely insignificant "drop of water" splashed on the surface of the sea of ​​data, and in the blink of an eye, an underground city with a gray dead iron sky was mapped out.

And they are falling there, falling to the base construction reflected by the “drop of water” in the abyss dark net.

And when Jiang Zhou got closer to the city, he felt that Hecate's blessing had activated on its own.

In his eyes, a detailed map of the underground city in front of him was gradually generated from countless fuzzy dot matrixes.

Including the layout of the city, including the hidden passages leading to other depths, including the malicious program roaming routes divided into threat levels, including the explosion rate of different malicious programs for various technological blueprints...

For a moment, Jiang Zhou was stunned.

what is this? black sheep wall? (Note*)

However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.

After the entire map was loaded, Jiang Zhou discovered that this underground city generated by the base construction was not any other place.

This is the underground of the Nord resettlement area.

Note: black sheep wall, the game cheats to open the full picture in "StarCraft".
