156. Forward (4k)(1/2)
Greg and Radi took a short rest in the containment room and re-presented their needs for various equipment. After simply replenishing the consumables needed for long-term operations, they set off on the road to the tower again.
Having already had experience, they showed that they were familiar with the road and always kept on guard. The road to the tower was much farther than the town, but thanks to their respective abnormal powers, apart from sleeping, they only had to rest a few times a day.
Maintain combat power, and rely on abilities to maintain a high speed.
They encountered no obstacles on their way.
Just like in the town, they did not encounter any living or dead things that tried to block their progress. It was as if the big black cat that attacked them was the only remaining creature here. This made Greg instinctively sense that something was wrong.
.
Because not long ago, there was a town that stood here. According to their observation of some of the corpses, it was conservatively estimated that they would not have died more than ten years ago. Therefore, the absence of any living creatures here made him feel a little confused.
.
Ma En, who was monitoring them, also noticed this phenomenon. He also knew who the murderer should be who killed the townspeople, so he was able to draw some seemingly reasonable conclusions.
Maybe it was Qin Luan who could keep it. After all, she could see the future direction. Maybe this behavior had other meanings. It was also possible that it had only come here recently, and other living creatures had died in Qin's past.
It's your hand.
The second basis for speculation is that there are no other animals here. If the big black cat needs to eat, it may not live here forever, but it may also consume other energy to survive, but in general...
It is only reasonable that they did not encounter any "hostile" living creatures.
"It's not far." Ladi said in a low voice. He was raising his head and looking up at the tall tower that was almost in front of him. The diameter of this tall tower was about twenty meters, and the height was about 100 meters without special tools.
It's hard to tell with the naked eye.
But it's very high.
Greg replied:
"There should be a special weapon inside. It may look like a sword or something else, but we have to find it and take it out. Then we can apply for teleportation to retreat. The time it takes depends on how deep we go.
degree."
The nearly three-meter-tall bone monster hesitated for a few seconds, but still mustered up the courage to ask:
"Grek, do you think we can be free again?"
While being monitored, he knew very well that it was impossible to hear any truly useful answer from Greg's mouth, and he might also be noticed by those bastards because of this question.
But he could tell the tone of the other person's voice. They had been comrades-in-arms for more than ten years.
Greg replied firmly:
"I think it's okay."
This is an affirmative tone.
This made Ladi's worries dissipate a bit.
Although Ladi didn't show it, he had actually been worried about his future fate since he was caught. Their previous team was dismantled by these bastards who claimed to be saviors, and all their former companions died in their hands.
If it hadn't been for Greco on his hands, he might have committed suicide by hitting the wall.
He also slightly resisted the urge to escape after seeing Grek acting very calmly. However, when Grek faced the attack from the Salvation Alliance, he could only tell that he was a little nervous from some detailed actions, and his face
There was no fear on his face, so he asked this question.
"Here we are." Ladi said in a heavy tone.
They finally arrived in front of the tower, and after taking a few steps around, they found a door about three meters high.
Only at this distance did the two of them realize that the pitch-black tower body was made of some kind of alloy they were unfamiliar with, rather than the stone wall they thought when looking at it from a distance. For them, who had metal controllers in the team, this was
That's good news.
Greco raised his hand, fumbled briefly and moved the metal door open. Behind the door was a spiral staircase with the same width as the radius of the tower, which was ten meters. Ladi did not need to release his transformation state when entering.
.
Greco raised his leg without any hesitation.
[Transmission time: two minutes and thirty-seven seconds]
He stepped on the steps.
[Transmission time: three minutes and thirty-seven seconds]
Marn immediately noticed the change in time, but when Greco took the second step, there was no immediate feedback from the teleportation time, and it still remained silently at four minutes and thirty-seven seconds.
The second step, the third step, the fourth step...
They walked around for more than a dozen times, and when Greg stepped on a step corresponding to the earliest position, the time of transmission jumped again.
[Transmission time: four minutes and thirty-seven seconds]
The jump in time was repeated ten times in total.
When Greg stepped out of the last steps, he saw a hall that was more than ten times wider than the tower. The floor and walls were made of an unknown black alloy. There was no furniture or other objects in the hall.
But lying there were a dozen big black mechanical cats that were no different from the ones they had seen before.
Greg immediately pressed the teleportation panel on the panel.
Then he saw a twelve-minute countdown.
"Oh, I'm a bit miserable."
The big black cat lying lazily at the back was a bit stronger than the others of its kind. His eyes coldly glanced at the two people who walked into the stairs, and then a familiar voice came from the mechanical structure on his body.
"It has been determined to be a human being and has not been infected by the gods. It does not need to be disinfected and will be killed according to standard procedures."
At the same time, the laziness in the eyes of the other big black cats disappeared as if they had received an order, and they all rushed towards their position with neat movements, and the last leader also stood up, the black monster's shoulders
Gao was already close to Ladi's chest.
After just looking at each other for half a second, Greg came to a conclusion.
They can't win.
"Push it into the stairs and hold on until the teleportation time." Greco said hurriedly, and at the same time, countless exquisite metal weapons poured out around him like butterflies, flapping their wings and flying towards the front few big black cats.
.
When they came into contact with the big cats, large chunks of flesh were ripped off from these beasts, which effectively stopped their progress, but did not cause any real fatal injuries.
The other black cats behind them all began to move forward cautiously after seeing this scene, and nimbly dodged the metal butterfly controlled by Greg alone.
The last black Elvis walked forward gracefully and lightly, and casually slapped away a few metal butterflies that tried to get close to him, and directly used his sharp claws to break them into pieces.
"The closer to the bottom of the tower, the shorter the transmission time. The time outside the tower is two minutes and thirty-seven seconds." Ma En's words appeared in the ears of the two escapees.
He also did not expect that the exploration of the tower would immediately encounter obstacles. Although this is a reasonable situation, dangerous weapons have their holders or guardians, but Qin Luan had been here personally a few years ago.
of.
Does her prophecy show that she can handle these problems on her own, or does this part of the situation not appear in her prophecy at all?
After receiving the news, Greco and Rady immediately began to retreat at high speed towards the bottom of the stairs. The bone monster directly hugged Greco in its arms, and then showed a movement speed that was not inferior to that of a black cat.
However, his agility was far inferior to that of the former, so he hit several walls due to his inability to stop the car just after starting. In order to prevent Greco from turning into flesh, he had to maintain a relatively low speed.
The metal butterflies built a solid line of defense behind them. Although the big black cats were chasing behind their butts, no one dared to test the sharpness of these metal blades.
Black Elvis was still standing in front of the stairs, and the metal hall behind him slowly opened.
A humanoid machine about two and a half meters tall walked out of it. It dexterously flipped onto the big black cat, and then this creature of mechanical and biochemical technology took the first step down.
boom!
The black cat knight landed heavily on the steps, and his two heavy bodies could not deform the metal steps. In an instant, it jumped between the walls more than a dozen times, and other black cats also appeared in front of them.
.
[Transmission time: six minutes and forty-nine seconds]
The metal butterflies immediately swarmed towards them, but the big black cat just aimed and opened its mouth slightly.
Boom!
The air was directly stirred up by its roar, and the originally flexible and high-speed butterflies stopped in place as if they had hit a wall. And at this moment...
All the black cats jumped over them and increased their chasing speed.
When those metal butterflies returned to Greg's control, it was already too late.
"Give me some time." Greco rolled out of the arms of the bone monster and controlled the complex metal butterflies to form strange shapes in the air, as if he was preparing for something.
Rady stopped without saying a word, and reflexively launched a charge towards the black cats on his body, the bone blade raised high as if it would tear them apart in the next moment.
The Black Cat Knight turned around and roared a second time towards the gathering metal butterflies. They were blown away in an instant, but the gathering continued, and when it saw it, it pounced directly on them.
A dozen other big black cats rushed in front of the bone monster. Facing such a large number of enemies, even the experienced Ladi couldn't see any chance of survival. He could only give up all his hopes.
Put it on Greg.
Bastard Salvation League.
The monster thinking this way waved its blade towards them, but the cunning big black cat did not give him any chance to attack, relying on its numerical advantage to easily and flexibly swim around him.
They attacked from all directions at the same time and could retreat at any time, and as long as he didn't notice it, a brand new scar appeared on his carapace.
