138. Shocking Tao(1/2)
The friendship between the two of them is not to the point where Wan Ming can trust them directly. Even if it were to happen again, Wan Ming would make the same choice.
"What are you still doing here? Aren't you ready to leave?"
Wan Ming was already preparing to enter the passage and reminded Jiang Fan.
"Judging from the traces on the ground, this passage must not have been used for a long time."
After Jiang Fan jumped into the passage, a burst of dust was raised, and looking into the distance through the dim light, the ground was covered with a thin layer of dust.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Fan looked at the King of the Tool Clan next to Wan Ming, who was pressing one hand on the ground, with multiple small sensors connected to the ground.
"When observing, don't just stare at the surface." Wan Ming responded, "Don't you think this passage is too clean?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes fell on the passage in front of him again.
"Only there is dust on the ground, but the rest of the place is basically clean. If this place is connected to the outside world, there is no reason why there won't be even a trace of insect activity."
With Wan Ming's prompting, Jiang Fan finally discovered something was wrong.
There seems to be a lot of dust on the ground, but the overall appearance is very uniform, as if someone sprayed it deliberately. At a height of about 1.5 meters and above, everywhere in the passage is clean.
"Follow these shadows, or step on my footprints."
The moment the King of the Tool Tribe stood up, a figure composed of light and shadow quickly moved away from the passage. Wan Ming's figure also moved at this moment, and in almost the blink of an eye, he was already more than ten meters away.
"Boy, if you can't hold on anymore, remember to squeak, this passage is a bit long."
Wan Ming looked back and saw Jiang Fan following closely behind him.
"Don't worry, but how long is this passage? My pet has not completely explored it."
The limit distance of Spot is 10 kilometers, but that is outside the dense jungle. Inside the base, Spot's ability will be greatly weakened, but it can still detect three to five kilometers.
"I don't know." Wan Ming shook his head, "The King of the Mechanical Tribe has not been able to decipher the circuit layout here for the time being, and cannot predict the exact length here."
Whether it is power or communication lines in the channel, they are all of a similar length and are planned locally. The various parts are basically separated from each other. The King of the Mechanical Tribe has not yet found the connection between the various local areas.
.
After running long distances, the two of them went from nervousness to calmness at the beginning, to exhaustion and indifference now.
This passage seemed to have no end. It seemed that no matter how long they ran, they would see exactly the same scene in front of them.
Just when Jiang Fan couldn't help but want to speak and chat with Wan Ming to distract his attention, his feet suddenly softened and he fell directly to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Wan Ming turned around, he felt a sense of sharpness.
His body shield was released almost subconsciously, and his skin had a metallic sheen. He was obviously used to the body-refining method.
Wan Ming's reaction was fast enough, but the attack still caught him off guard. The body shield was still penetrated directly, and he even suffered some skin injuries.
"trap?"
Fifty meters on both sides of the passage where the two of them were, had been blocked by heavy doors, and the sound of fine gear meshing was constantly heard around them, as if something was constantly moving inside the wall.
"I was actually parasitized without knowing anything about it."
Jiang Fan had already done a self-examination, but what he didn't expect was that despite the protection of the spots, he was still parasitized by unknown insects.
"Due to the toxins released by these things and the long time we spent on the road, we simply ignored their existence."
Jiang Fan has taken out the parasites, but Wan Ming's body is not what Jiang Fan imagined. Not only has he not been invaded by parasites, but even the toxins infected in the newly injured area are almost gone.
It is metabolized in the body.
"There is no need to envy your personal physique."
Wan Ming has summoned the Quick-Striking Praying Mantis, and together with the King of the Machine Clan, this is the strongest battle pet he can use so far.
"Boy, do you know what you fear most about this kind of mechanical device?"
Listening to the increasingly dense meshing sounds inside the wall, Wan Ming suddenly spoke.
"Pull out their chips or life cores?"
Jiang Fan has a certain understanding of these mechanical beings, but these places he mentioned are fatal weaknesses, and usually these places are protected at all levels.
"Many times you can't find its life core at all." Wan Ming shook his head, "But it can gradually penetrate from the periphery. Once you control its joints, you can easily interfere with them."
As Wan Ming's words fell, several figures slowly rose up on both sides of the passage. There were icy cold lights on these guys' bodies, and their armors were covered with various chop marks, as well as the visors on their heads.
Most of it was broken into pieces, revealing a slightly terrifying skeletal structure.
Just one glance can give people a chilling feeling.
"Leave these rags to me and have a good rest."
Wan Ming suddenly stepped out, his huge body like a giant cannon, and the huge air wave stirred up the dust on the ground. For a moment, Jiang Fan couldn't see clearly what was going on around him.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The muffled sound of iron fists clashing kept ringing in the dust and fog, followed closely by the sound of gunfire.
The battle comes and goes quickly.
When the dust and fog gradually dissipated, all Jiang Fan could see was all kinds of wreckage on the ground.
At Wan Ming's end, the joints of the parts look intertwined, and you can tell at a glance that they were torn apart with huge force. On the Quick Strike Mantis side, the various cuts are extremely smooth.
These mechanical bodies look very strong, but they can't even block Wan Ming.
"Boy, although I told you to rest, I still hope you can have basic vigilance."
Wan Ming crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Jiang Fan in front of him with a half-smile.
"Is this what you mean?"
Jiang Fan took out something from behind his back, with arms as long as a large earthworm. This thing took advantage of Wan Ming's killing spree and tried to sneak attack him from the ground, but was directly intercepted by Spot, who acted preemptively.
.
"If I were you, I wouldn't hold this thing in my hands."
Wan Ming suddenly smiled, as if he was waiting to see Jiang Fan make a fool of himself.
Seeing that Jiang Fan also laughed at the same time, he stretched out his other hand and opened his palm, which contained a large handful of various parts.
"Your fighting scene seemed a bit boring, so you found another way to entertain yourself."
"Okay, he looks a bit human." Wan Ming nodded.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Jiang Fan didn't smile, but silently put away the core in his hand. He didn't expect that this guy would continue to test or test him here.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
Wan Ming also stopped smiling at this time, and his expression looked a little serious.
"bad news."
"We may have been discovered by the mechanical beings in charge of this base."
Jiang Fan's movements suddenly stagnated. Being discovered by such a guy means that the entire plan has been exposed, and it is almost impossible to escape.
"Where's the good news?"
"This guy seems to think he can solve the two of us. The current situation in the channel has not been reported."
The king of the mechanical clan seems to be looking for the corresponding mechanical core, but it seems that only the earthworm that attacked Jiang Fan has one.
"In other words, we don't have much time. If we can't find a way out and stay away from this base before this guy reports it, we may be blocked at any time."
"In fact, besides running away, there is another option."
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows, "You don't want to tell me to just kill me, do you?"
A base of this size, and a place where human experiments are conducted, there is no way there would not be strong people guarding it!
"It's amazing, I didn't expect you really understand me."
Jiang Fan:???
"There is no other way. We must find this mechanical life, and we must kill it or intercept its information before it escalates to an event level."
Wan Ming's eyes fell on the door in front, "And fortunately, my battle pet has already locked its position."
[Group information mimicry: It can be used to disguise information of multiple units. Although it cannot achieve individual physical invisibility, it can disappear in front of mechanical life. 】
After the King of Mechanics punched a big hole in the blocking wall, Wan Ming carried Jiang Fan and galloped through the passage.
"This state can only last for three minutes, and the closer you get to the other party, the easier it is to be discovered."
Wan Ming also did not expect that the other party was actually hiding in a certain secret passage in this passage. If not for the sudden attack by the other party, the King of the Tool Clan would not have been able to find the other party's location.
"Right here."
