Chapter 564 Interception
The entire underground, that is, this entire crystal seems to be buried with a complete network of blood vessels. The tunnel is just one of the large arteries, and there are countless capillaries connected to it.
Presumably this structure is not only hidden underground, but also in the crystal walls on the first or even second floor above.
Those legion robots moved around along these cracks.
Of course, they are still in hot pursuit at this moment.
boom! boom! boom!
Laser beams shot out in all directions, and visitors continued to pour into the cramped space.
Seeing this, Chen Ze made a thrust, and the brilliant lightsaber circled around, like a full moon falling to the ground.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The surroundings were clear, but it was still difficult to discern the direction.
But gravity doesn't lie.
The deeper you go underground, the stronger the gravity becomes and the clearer your goal becomes.
After scanning around, Chen Ze found that he was locked and surrounded, and legion robots were constantly approaching him along the gaps.
The comrades in the resistance army had already been separated in the chaos, and they were squeezed into nowhere.
Only the CUBE-3 in my hand keeps me company.
That's it.
Chen Ze detected the particle beam, attached the power of the law, pointed straight down, and started digging.
the other side.
The same cramped space, the same chaos and fierce fighting.
After the dust settled, the only survivor 1111 lifted up the half-broken mechanical arm, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart.
It was also mutilated.
"Be careful!" Suddenly a loud call came, and then a huge force hit him from behind, throwing 1111 to the ground.
when!
call out-
An insidious beam passed through the original location of 1111 at almost the same time.
Someone is attacking!
1111 quickly locked on a missing robot half-hidden in the gap between the crystal walls.
Slightly.
Before the muzzle on 1111's chest could be raised, the visitor lying on his body took the lead and used an air cannon to knock the attacker off his feet.
Before they could recognize each other, 1111 quickly fired a particle cannon, completely blowing up the attacker before they could clear the way.
"Honey?"
The person who came was his comrade-in-arms and lover.
"How could you do this!" 1111 noticed that the opponent's body was full of dents and scars, presumably after a hard battle.
No wonder it didn't recognize it immediately, because the radio wave environment in this gap space was even more chaotic, almost making 1111, who was accustomed to relying on radio waves for detection, blind.
That's why the Quezu, which was missing half of its fuselage, almost succeeded in a sneak attack.
"I'm fine." The other party didn't care at all, but said in a low voice with a tired voice,
"I found the lair of those missing clans."
"What!" 1111 quickly confirmed, "They still have nests?"
"Yes! I just discovered it!"
"Come with me!"
On the other side, Chen Ze encountered a major setback for the first time in his playing career.
zi zi zi zi -
The noise continued for a long time, but no big hole was made.
The crystal walls here are not only so bright that they dazzle the camera, but they are also extremely difficult to dig.
It's not that it's that hard, but every time the particle beam touches the crystal, bits and pieces of light converge on the contact point, making it shine brightly and become pliable and sticky.
It's like using an electric drill to dig into the mud, nothing can be done.
And under the contact of divinity, these warm and bright spots of light revealed their original form as expected - a group of wailing soul skeletons.
According to 1111, this strange phenomenon of scattered light points is called "light snow".
But the rebels obviously didn't understand it as thoroughly as Chen Ze.
The fluorescence emitted by the crystal wall dome on weekdays comes from the countless light snow contained within.
And all this light snow seems to be depositing downward, seeping from the second layer to the first layer, and then depositing from the first layer to the ground.
This is where the light snow is densest, which brings a lot of trouble to Chen Ze.
Just because the nature of these light snows is quite special, they are actually somewhat resistant to his divinity and the influence of his laws.
Thumb, cluck, cluck, cluck
When I was in trouble, there was an unkind movement approaching quickly from behind.
"CUBE-3." Chen Ze lazily ordered,
"Hold me for a moment."
"This is beyond my ability." Rubik's Cube hiding aside said plausibly.
"Fighting is not my strong point."
But before he finished speaking, a mechanical tentacle arm stretched out, grabbed it, and threw it toward the back.
"No————" I can't see that CUBE-3 still has the potential to be a singer.
Pa~GuluLulu
After the Rubik's Cube landed, the power of the laws attached to it immediately spread out, using CUBE-3 as a springboard, turning into a field of interference, causing all intruders to crash and fall to the ground.
"Hey!" Rubik's Cube expressed dissatisfaction loudly,
"You should show me some respect."
"Do you know how senior I am?".
Rustling, there are extraordinary footsteps coming from far away.
But the noisy Rubik's Cube suddenly stopped complaining as if a rag had been stuffed into its mouth.
zizi.
Chen Ze stopped his movements and controlled the machine to slowly turn around.
All of a sudden.
Phew babble babble——
The crystal wall in front was shattered, and countless rays of snow fled in all directions like a school of fish being chased by sharks.
When the flash of light faded out, countless square and regular figures suddenly appeared in the space that had been expanded several times. They moved their tentacles and retreated to both sides, as if making way for the invisible red carpet.
It was those "bricks" aborigines who had helped Chen Ze and were stabbed in the back.
It's just that they are not the ones who seem to want to reminisce with Chen Ze.
"Hello." A loud rumble like thunder pushed in, reverberating heavily among the crystal walls.
At the end, a huge bucket was like an elephant's trunk supporting the ground. It was stretched, bent and retracted to bring out the huge thing stuck in the crystal wall.
boom!
The crystal wall exploded all over the ground, and two blazing lights lit up like eyes.
"9527."
The leader of the original tribe, or the giant excavator, greeted him like this.
"You finally couldn't bear it anymore!"
"get out!"
"Come if you can!"
"come!"
"You really think you can get rid of me by leaving me outside?"
"Despicable usurper!".
The Rubik's Cube that was retrieved couldn't stop talking trash, and even Chen Ze couldn't hold it down.
It's as if the mechanical arm holding it is a dog leash. Once it's tied, it can scream like Tai Ritian.
No, Chen Ze angrily let go and threw it out, and immediately fell silent.
"So this is the trap you prepared for me?" Chen Ze then showed his lightsaber,
"It's really a waste of money to put in so much effort."
Wherever he looked, figures were faintly visible behind all the crystal walls in front, back, left, right, up and down.
They come prepared.
The main force of the original tribe, which had been missing for a long time, gathered here.
"You are very brave." The excavator raised his bucket and pointed forward threateningly, "but I hope you can see the situation clearly."
"Oh?" Chen Ze was very patient.
"How about you brief me on the situation?"
"First of all, you have to understand our purpose." The excavator rumbled,
"We are not here to fight against you."
"We're here."
"To cooperate with you."
As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze, and even the Rubik's Cube, which was squirming on the ground and trying to crawl back, froze in place.
"Most of the original troops are under my command."
"So our main enemy now is those legion robots."
During the march, the excavator looked at Chen Ze in the bucket in front of him and expressed his approval of his naming method.
"I prefer to think of them as a whole, a war machine without feelings or thoughts."
"They are not like us. Their essence is no different from stone."
"I agree with you." Chen Ze, who hitchhiked, responded,
"So where are we going now?"
After reaching the intention of cooperation, the excavator didn't say much and led the tribe on their way without any further delay.
At this time, there were all the aboriginal troops in neat formations all around. Although their shapes were very different, they cooperated very well with each other under the control of the excavator. Even in this twisty and rugged fissure space, they were walking on flat ground.
"We are going to cut off their source." The excavator put the bucket in front of him to show Chen Ze a foreign object embedded in his core.
This thing looks like a dozen keys stacked together and crushed, and Chen Ze is very familiar with this.
The secret weapon of the resistance - the soul core.
Oh, maybe it's not a secret anymore.
And it looks like it's a high-end item with a high rank, second only to the leader's item.
"This is called the soul core." Excavator introduced,
"You should have seen it in the All Clan Resistance Army."
Chen Ze did not deny it.
The excavator further added: "This is essential if you want to get through here."
Even if it didn't say anything, Chen Ze had already noticed that the reason why the aboriginal army was able to move forward unimpeded was all thanks to the vanguard at the front who was holding the soul core to open the way.
As long as you are within the range of the strange fluctuations emitted by the soul core, the light snow contained in the crystal wall will be forcibly dispersed.
Without the light snow filling, the crystal wall itself is fragile and can naturally be easily destroyed.
Not only that, the holder of the soul core seems to be able to detect the structure of the crystal wall and can always lead the tribe to break through the weak points.
"The magic of the soul core goes far beyond that." The excavator continued,
"When we find the source and use the soul core to disrupt the radio signals from the switchboard, they will be unable to receive orders and continue to act."
"You're crazy!" Before Chen Ze could speak, the magic weapon in his hand screamed,
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"You are betraying the switchboard!"
"I will always be loyal to the switchboard." The excavator responded solemnly,
"You still haven't seen the truth, CUBE-3."
"You're still as immobile as before."
"It's easy for you to say that!" The Rubik's Cube seemed to have some friendship with the excavator.
"You have the power to actually leave me outside like this!"
"I'm here to locate you." The excavator explained,
"Only in order to find cooperation with the leader of the resistance."
"Just like you do."
The excavator's explanation obviously failed to satisfy the Rubik's Cube, but instead made it roar more and more energetically.
"cooperate?"
"You're not like me!"
"I just went to the switchboard to expose those bastards!".
"Hey." Chen Ze interrupted,
"Should you introduce the situation to me, my partner?"
Rubik's Cube became even more excited when he heard this, as if he had found someone to help him during the quarrel, and he poured out all the words.
According to it, the power structure within the original tribe is simple.
The excavator is like a manager or general, responsible for receiving and executing orders, converting them into specific action goals, and maintaining daily operations within the base.
From the production tasks of various positions in the factory to the construction of entertainment facilities for all robots, they all rely on the cooperation of the aborigines lurking in the dark.
And if there are executors, there will naturally be decision-makers.
Further up the butler-like excavator is the supreme power center of the original tribe—the elder group composed of several robots.
The board of elders is not involved in production, but always serves the switchboard, assisting the switchboard full-time in making correct decisions.
CUBE-3 was once a member of the elders, but was later sent into exile for some reason.
"Those stupid guys!" Rubik's Cube scolded his colleagues without mercy.
"They framed me, they hoodwinked the switchboard!"
"I have to go back to the switchboard and correct all the mistakes!"
Rubik's Cube turned to target the excavator.
"And you."
"You actually want to cut off the switchboard's airwaves, you traitor!"
"What's the difference between you and those rebellious clans?"
"You will cause the switchboard to lose control of the base!"
"you really"
Snapped!
But it was the excavator that stretched out a tentacle-like hose and pulled the Rubik's Cube around, finally making it stop.
"You," CUBE-3 said after he recovered, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the excavator.
"The switchboard has lost control of the base!"
"What!" Rubik's Cube was so shocked that the sound wave almost couldn't form,
"What did you say!"
"I said." The excavator emphasized in a more serious tone.
"The elders have hijacked the switchboard a long time ago, and all orders are issued by them pretending to be the switchboard."
"It's you who's stupid."
"CUBE-3!"
"I've said it before, I'm always loyal to the switchboard!"
zizi
Chen Ze heard some unharmonious sounds,
"I tell you two, it's better to stop arguing."
Dozens of lightsabers bloomed behind Chen Ze like a peacock spreading its wings. The power hidden under the quiet appearance caused the excavator's fuel consumption to skyrocket and the internal combustion engine to rumble.
But this power is not directed at it.
"After all, the host we are visiting doesn't seem to welcome us."
Directly in front of the aboriginal army, even though there were many crystal walls, they could not block the countless dazzling bright lights coming from far away.
"It seems we have found the right place." The excavator raised its flag-like bucket high, and the entire team paused.
"Fire!"
it ordered.
On the opposite side, the particle beams that almost formed a wall of light had already crushed the crystal wall first, roaring towards the army.
Boom, boom, boom!
Although the fire is strong, it is fleeting.
Just because there is a real lack of combustibles here.
If the soul core does not take effect, the surrounding crystal walls will be invulnerable to water and fire, and will be hard to dismantle.
Seeing that the enemy army had been completely wiped out, 1111 quickly ran to his lover and expressed concern,
"Baby, are you okay!"
It looked at the new dent on the other person's body with distress, completely forgetting that a big leaky hole had just been made in its own body.
Zhizhizhizhi.
"I am fine."
"We'd better fix it here."
"No, dear, every second we delay, countless compatriots are being brutally murdered."
"Okay. But how do you know where the Que clan's lair is?"
"It was the leader who showed me the way." (End of Chapter)
