"Let's go."
Lin Xi tilted his head slightly. He listened carefully to the movements from the mechanical warriors and then whispered expressionlessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the exit.
Xavier and Arthur also followed him invariably.
"Actually, I think I can already—"
However, Xavier was still somewhat unwilling to do so. He turned his head and stared directly at the direction of the sound with his compound eyes.
Recalling those mechanical warriors, long-lost hatred suddenly surged into its heart.
It waved its forelimbs subconsciously, but it did not expect that its sharp insect limbs, like sickles, could easily cut a gap in the isolation door that had previously separated it from Lin Xi.
“…”
Arthur stared straight at the door from the side, and his tentacles moved slightly.
As mentioned before, Xavier's body has not changed much on the surface (it is still just a huge and ferocious alien, a big insect), but it has undergone changes originating from the essence of the void. After transformation, it is no longer the poor little creature that was only dying due to the siege of mechanical warriors.
Even Arthur's power has been amazingly improved, watching Xavier cut the isolation door in front of Lin Xi. It also tentatively raised its forelimbs and struck hard on the already dilapidated isolation door.
And that isolation door was like a red-hot knife cutting through butter, and a new gap immediately appeared - and then. , it slowly fell to one side under the gaze of Xavier and Arthur, and finally fell to the ground with a "bang".
The huge noise caused by the metal hitting the ground turned into an invisible aftermath that directly centered on Lin Xi and others and spread to other locations in the underground facility.
Sure enough, in the next second, Lin Xi could feel that the pace of those mechanical warriors became more rapid.
Xavier raised his forelimbs high towards Arthur and hissed in a serious threatening tone.
Arthur shrank suddenly.
“Xavier…”
Lin Xi had no choice but to call out to Xavier softly.
"It doesn't have to be so harsh. Arthur also needs some time to adapt to his new body."
Lin Xi said.
Then he took a step forward as if nothing had happened and stood between Xavier and Arthur.
"And now we really need to pick up some speed."
Seeing that Xavier was about to become jealous again because of Lin Xi's favoritism towards Arthur, Lin Xi spoke first.
Then, he pulled La Xavier's wings and continued to move forward.
Xavier's wings quickly turned intense pink under Lin Xi's fingertips—it glared at Arthur menacingly, and then caught up with Lin Xi.
Naturally, after seeing the scene in front of him, Arthur quickly shook his wings and followed quickly.
Under the leadership of Lin Xi, the other two alien species walked quickly through the intricate corridors of the underground facility with unimaginable speed.
The reason why Lin Xi emphasized speeding up the pace to Xavier and Arthur was not just to ease the relationship between them.
He really needs to control the pace of his progress, because just after he left the biological laboratory in the central area, the underground facility that had fallen into a dead state due to energy depletion seemed to have really come to life...
However, in Lin Xi's view, this kind of "resurrection" is more akin to a comeback.
It was dark and quiet, and the interior of the concrete and metal structure full of corpses was filled with the sound of creaking metal. The pulleys and gears buried under the metal wall were constantly running, and the light tubes also kept running due to the instability of the current. Flashing.
Small, noisy sounds filled the entire space, mixed with the footsteps of the mechanical warriors who were gradually approaching Lin Xi and the other three.
According to the settings, the No. 23 biological experimental cabin should be able to last for a while, but at this time it was trembling, a very unpleasant trembling. Fragments of masonry and gravel just fell from the gaps in the supporting connecting parts between various locations - even people who knew nothing about this underground facility could tell that these parts were already overwhelmed.
Obviously, what someone hidden on the other side of the surveillance camera can do is not just activate the mechanical warrior... That guy actually gave the self-destruction command to the underground facility directly at all costs.
You know, even when everyone rebelled and the experimental subjects were completely out of control 300 years ago, the survivors of the Providence never thought of self-destructing the underground facilities here.
After all, after humans came here, they worked hard to build so many underground facilities with the limited resources on the spaceship, just so that one day they could get out of the spacecraft and live on this special planet.
Self-destruction... is a decision only made in the most extreme circumstances.
Along with Lin Xi's prospect, various locations of the No. 23 Biological Test Site collapsed, and dust gradually rose in the condensed air.
It seems that in the next second, this place will completely collapse and turn into a huge stone coffin, burying everything.
But faced with such a severe situation, Lin Xi looked quite calm.
There was still that faint smile on his lips, his eyes were full of love for Xavier and Arthur, and his pace never changed from the moment he left - as if everything was under his control. middle.
In a sense, this is true.
Lin Xi really has control over everything around him. After possessing a new body, his perception is so sharp that everything that happens in this underground facility is under his will.
"boom-"
"boom-"
"boom-"
One after another, the isolation doors slammed down heavily against the footsteps of Lin Xi and the others.
The electronic bolts in the entire corridor were gradually malfunctioning, and Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.
The ventilation duct under the wall made a harsh sound, because the facility that had been supplying oxygen into the facility was now reversing at an abnormally high speed, and a large amount of air was directly pumped out of the room.
Coupled with the fall of the fully sealed metal isolation door, the oxygen inside the underground facility suddenly became extremely thin.
If an ordinary person were here, it wouldn't take long for him to faint from being unable to breathe.
However, this measure is not an issue that needs to be concerned about at all for Lin Xi today.
-In fact, even breathing itself is not a necessary condition for him.
He just subconsciously continued all the physiological reactions in his memory because he still retained a human body.
Including heartbeat and breathing.
Perhaps he was vaguely aware that Lin Xi's state was completely different from that of ordinary intruders. Just as Lin Xi led Xavier and Arthur gradually closer to the exit from the outside world, dart-shaped missiles suddenly popped up from the hidden places on both sides of the passage. Laser emission port.
Until this moment, Lin Xi's footsteps paused slightly.
Almost at the same time Lin Xi stopped, those laser emitters had silently shot out extremely hot laser beams.
"I thought they would be red..."
The moment those laser beams formed a fine grid and gradually moved towards the three of them, Lin Xi heard Xavier muttering quietly behind him.
"This is only seen in TV series. This kind of laser-cut grid for defense is basically invisible."
Lin Xi explained to Xavier.
Otherwise, how could the linear speed of these lasers cut the intruders into charred pieces of flesh that couldn't even flow without them noticing
Of course, the so-called invisibility is only for humans. In Lin Xi's current view, those lasers that humans cannot detect are extremely obvious.
As for the method to solve them, it is also extremely simple -
Lin Xi stood at the end of the corridor and calmly raised his hand towards the laser beam that was approaching them. Then his fingertips turned slightly red. That was because his fingertips suddenly appeared. A drop of something like blood...
It was as if Lin Xi had been accidentally injured before. He should have been bleeding, but that drop of "blood" remained on Lin Xi's fingertips with no intention of falling.
The next second, the drop of blood started to squirm left and right.
Noticing the subtle movement outside, Arthur opened his eyes wide and looked curiously at the squirming and elongated red "blood" on Lin Xi's fingertips.
Not long ago, when Arthur was still a corpse, Lin Xi used this squirming red mucus to bring him back to the world.
What Lin Xi did next clearly showed that this kind of mucus can be used not only for resurrecting the dead and transforming human beings, but it may also become a very simple and convenient weapon -
The red mucus that escaped from Lin Xi's body suddenly moved at an alarming speed. Like a red bullet, the "blood" directly crossed those fine metal grids, and then flew directly towards the laser emitter.
"Click..."
The moment it approached the laser emission port, the red mucus split into two, and then they sank directly into the cold and famous metal terminal.
Standing at Lin Xi's current position, he could clearly hear the crisp soft sound of the laser weapons made by humans.
Immediately afterwards, those extremely hot laser beams disappeared, and a wisp of smoke emerged from those extremely precise emission ports...
Lin Xi walked forward lightly without stopping.
Almost as soon as he crossed the corridor, a louder friction sound suddenly came from behind him. It sounded like countless cockroaches rubbing against the metal surface, but Lin Xi knew very well that it was not a cockroach that could make such a sound. , but the kind of metal jellyfish that is more disgusting than cockroaches.
Lin Xi's thoughts moved, and two drops of scarlet mucus seeped out from the gap in the laser emission port in an instant, and then squirmed quickly and caught up with Lin Xi's soles.
The moment it came into contact with Lin Xi's skin, the mucus immediately sank into Lin Xi's body.
Immediately afterwards, the mechanical launch port that was completely destroyed by Lin Xi a few seconds ago suddenly shook.
The scarlet and extremely hot high-temperature laser shot out directly from the laser emitter at a linear speed and pushed towards the mechanical warriors who followed Lin Xi.
"Look, it's red now."
Lin Xi turned her head and looked at Xavier, then smiled and said.
"Just like the TV you watch..."
he added.
Xavier turned his head and looked at the laser beam modified by Lin Xi, and something seemed to flicker slightly in his scarlet pupils.
A gentle and sweet mood immediately spread to Lin Xi's heart along with the close spiritual connection between the two.
The smile on Lin Xi's lips deepened instantly.
Compared to Lin Xi and Xavier, who were smiling at each other, it was the ignorant Arthur who really cared about the red laser beam and those mechanical warriors.
It looked back curiously at the mechanical warriors—the smooth hemispherical shells of those robots immediately emitted a series of particularly dazzling sparks after they came into contact with the laser.
The two mechanical warriors who had no time to escape fell first. The display screen inside their helmets flashed the word malfunction, and then they were cut into many pieces in the crackling electric sparks. Before they died, they also caused two groups of enemies. Small explosion.
Their kind, under the cover of the explosion, threw several micro-bombs towards the laser emission port.
After several failures, the mechanical warriors finally destroyed the laser weapon and breached the corridor.
However, when they arrived at the other end of the corridor, the backs of Lin Xi and the others had already disappeared.
…
"Boom..."
There was another heavy explosion.
Lin Xi paused, raised his head and glanced quickly at a support structure that kept falling gravel, and then continued to walk forward.
The frame structure supporting the entire underground facility can now only be described as shaky.
After the central area is blasted, these frame structures will loosen and collapse. This underground facility has reached the end of its life—but it has nothing to do with Lin Xi and others.
Relying on the extraordinarily superior mobility of the alien species, it didn't take long for Lin Xi, Xavier and Arthur to reach the metal chamber where they had temporarily escaped the storm before entering the underground facility.
They only need to open the circular metal door to leave the underground facility.
However, it just happens that at this moment...
Lin Xi, who had been following the steps step by step and moving at his own pace, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Lin Xi? What's wrong-"
Xavier had already pulled open the circular sealed door, and a large amount of sand poured down from the entrance in an instant.
Sensing Lin Xi's pause, Xavier immediately asked with concern.
Lin Xi shook his head silently to indicate that there was no big problem. He turned around and walked straight to the corner of the metal secret room.
Before they entered the underground facility, Lin Xi abandoned the electronic brain that helped them open the door and had a very suspicious origin.
But now he took the initiative to get closer to the electronic brain.
Lin Xi picked it up.
He stared carefully at the electronic brain in his hand that had become particularly fragile due to previous component failures. There was gradually a hint of deep solemnity in his eyes.
"...I will save you. I promise you, I will get you relief."
Lin Xi said seriously.
It was as if the person opposite him was someone special and important.
However, in the face of Lin Xi's solemn promise, the electronic brain in his hand remained silent and did not give him any response.
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously.
He carefully put the computer back in the corner and walked towards the exit.
However, if he had followed the original plan, he should not have had this final conversation with the electronic brain.
He was only delayed for a very short period of time, but this short period of time was enough for several mechanical warriors following from other passages to find him.
Just when Lin Xi tried to leave, several slender metal tentacles quietly probed directly towards Lin Xi from the dark direction.
One of the tentacles accurately wrapped around Lin Xi's ankle and held him firmly in place.
Lin Xi's movements paused.
He frowned and looked back at his feet.
It was only then that the mechanical warrior from Yudel Company slowly showed its shape in the air...
Their special coating allows them to blend completely into their surroundings.
In fact, that's why they're called ghosts.
They can become invisible at any time and reveal themselves at any time. Coupled with their powerful metal tentacles and killing procedures, their force value has reached the limit that humans can imagine.
However, at this moment... when they faced Lin Xi, they seemed a little clumsy and weak.
For example, right now, the two mechanical warriors are trying to pull Lin Xi directly back to the inside of the No. 23 Biological Experimental Site. According to the internally written program, they should have successfully killed Lin Xi directly by relying on the collapsing test site.
But during the manipulation process, before they had time to withdraw their metal tentacles, the two shadows had already jumped up high.
The extremely sharp limbs easily penetrated the hemispherical head of the mechanical display.
If Xavier and Arthur cut the extremely thick metal isolation door like cutting butter, then now, when they use their insect limbs to penetrate the head of the mechanical warrior, it is like using a beautiful silver knife to cut a piece. Mousse.
The screens of those mechanical warriors suddenly flashed with garbled characters, and then instantly turned into darkness.
The insect limbs penetrate directly from the top of their heads, and then pass out from the tentacle connection below them.
Sticky engine oil and some plasma were like the blood of these mechanical creations, dripping to the ground.
The tentacles wrapped around Lin Xi's ankle lost all strength in an instant, and then fell softly to the ground.
Even so, Xavier and Arthur's movements still did not stop. They straighten their bodies high, raising their forelegs in the air to cut and poke.
This scene looked a little funny, but after a few seconds, the disgusting semicircular figure of the mechanical warrior slowly emerged in all the places where Lin Xi and Arthur had cut and poked.
The stealth status of these killing machines is being forcibly removed... because they have received more damage than can be repaired.
Most of the mechanical warriors had lost their fighting ability in the first time, and even those who escaped the first round of killings ended up very badly.
The extremely sophisticated and advanced stealth equipment on them has completely failed. In the eyes of Xavier and Arthur, these mechanical warriors are at best putting a white sheet over their heads.
The special vision receiving organs of the alien species prevent them from being confused by the stealth paint of the mechanical warriors. .
In just a few dozen seconds, all the mechanical warriors who rushed to the metal chamber had lost their ability to fight.
Xavier immediately put away his insect limbs and returned to Lin Xi.
It looked at Lin Xi proudly, waiting for Lin Xi's praise.
Only Arthur was so happy that he forgot all about it. He still held his brand-new insect limbs high and kept poking at the group of dead mechanical warriors. Its excited and happy look inexplicably reminded Lin Xi of those children who were so happy because of their toys before Christmas.
Looking at Arthur like this, Xavier couldn't help but show some contempt, but then his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction on his face, and then carefully turned his head to look at Lin Xi's current appearance.
Sensing its gaze, Lin Xi turned her head and gave Xavier a wry smile.
"There was a problem with Arthur's previous evolution. You and I both know what it was like... I don't blame it for what it is now. After it evolves again, everything will be fine..."
"But… "
Xavier shook the tentacles above his head dissatisfiedly. He wanted to say something more, but Lin Xi suddenly made a gesture to silence him. .
Then a sound so slight that neither instruments nor humans could hear was transmitted to Lin Xi's perception.
Lin Xi's expression changed, and she immediately reached out and grabbed Arthur, and then forcibly dragged Arthur and Xavier out of the hole together.
The scenery outside the entrance was completely different from when they came in. The violent storm almost changed the terrain of the entire area.
It's just that at this time, Lin Xike didn't bother to explore the surrounding environment. The vibrations coming from the ground made him instinctively feel danger.
Everything happened so quickly and so naturally.
The danger signs that Lin Xi could feel, Xavier could also feel - almost the moment it left the cave entrance, its wings suddenly spread out.
Xavier hugged Lin Xi tightly like that.
"Hold on—"
It warned gently.
Then, it casually stretched out one of its hind legs and hooked Arthur's neck with its hock.
Its body jumped in the air, and its huge spread wings flapped vigorously behind its back.
Lin Xi, who was imprisoned in Xavier's arms, only felt his body light up... Then, he and Xavier flew up together.
Lin Xi could swear that at that moment he saw the most beautiful wings he had ever seen in his life.
The extremely brilliant light from the alien planet fell on Xavier's wings, reflecting a magnificent light that was almost like jewelry.
The gentle wind swept over the tips of Xavier's wings, bringing the strong hormones emitted from this giant insect to the tip of Lin Xi's nose.
Lin Xi could feel that his body became very light in an instant, but the arms holding him were so solid and stable.
In that brief moment, Lin Xi seemed to have fallen into a dream. He was wrapped in brilliant clouds, and he was touched by burning love.
Even his own heart seemed to be floating in this short moment.
This dizzy feeling lasted for a while, and then Lin Xi gradually came back to her senses.
Only then did he realize that the flight speed of Xavier's newly evolved magnificent wings was even inferior to the pair of thick and metallic elytra it had before.
In just a moment, Xavier had already flown far away with Lin Xi and Arthur.
Behind them, a huge roar resounded throughout the world. Then came the rising smoke and howling wind.
Lin Xi looked over Xavier's shoulder in that direction from a distance.
He was not surprised to see that the underground facility he was in before collapsed for several hundred meters around the entire area.
Flying sand and rocks, the sky and the earth shattering...
The scene looked a little bit apocalyptic...
Of course, in addition to the completely collapsed underground facilities, something even more frightening is actually located far away on the horizon. There is obviously no storm, but a layer of smoke and dust is rising faintly in that direction.
Lin Xi opened her eyes wide and looked straight at the smoke and dust...
That's not actually a product of nature.
That was the flying dust caused by the rapid movement of countless mechanical warriors.
Even from such a distance, Lin Xi could see that the number of mechanical warriors was quite terrifying. He even doubted whether the opponent used so many mechanical warriors when attacking the Helios.
In fact, if you think about it seriously, those hellish days didn't seem to last long.
Lin Xi still remembered how he was disgraced and embarrassed by those killing machines created by humans, and even almost died.
The trembling feeling those mechanical warriors brought to him was still lingering in his heart not long ago.
But at this moment, looking at the figures of those mechanical warriors, Lin Xi felt extremely calm in her heart.
The fear and embarrassment I once felt seemed like a lifetime ago.
Lin Xi couldn't help but raise his hand and look at his thin and slender fingers.
These fingers look exactly like real humans.
But Lin Xi knew very well in his heart that as long as he wanted, he could easily tear open the seemingly indestructible hemispherical masks of those mechanical warriors with both hands, just like Xavier and Arthur.
He can kill those damn mechanical warriors, but what he really wants to kill at this time is not just these machines without intelligence.
…
"Lin Xi"
It was as if he could detect the emotional changes in Lin Xi's heart. At this moment, Lin Xi felt Xavier hugging him tighter. .
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked
Xavier lowered his head slightly and looked at Lin Xi.
"Can I drop Arthur? It's a bit heavy."
After a while, Lin Xi heard Xavier ask dryly. "
