Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 393: Heaven And Hell

The explosion caused the power room to tremble slightly, and Lucy couldn't help but shout, "Be careful not to damage the energy furnace. Otherwise, our plan will be in vain!"

Regis continued to move, dodging the fire from the powerful cannon in the monster's hand. "This thing's firepower is so fierce," he shouted. "If there are many restrictions, it's not good for us!"

"Everyone, just cooperate." Ellen shouted, "Belmond, Regis. You two destroy its arachnid festival and paralyze its mobility first!"

"Roger that, boss." Belmond's figure twisted slightly in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the monster. The cuff chain blade flew out and locked onto two of the arachne links. He forcefully retracted it. The chain blade straightened, pulling the monster out of balance.

Regis saw the opportunity and unsheathed his sword. The man followed the sword and transformed into a flash of light as he charged straight towards the monster's side-turned arachne chassis, completely knocking it down.

"Let's go together!" Shouted Alan as he flashed out of his hiding place. The devil's praise transformed into a blood-colored dagger, dragging out a winding blood-colored dagger light in the dim space. The moment it approached, it crisscrossed with the monster like a ribbon.

The monster's arm, which was carrying a multi-barrel cannon, immediately flew into the air. From the fracture surface, one could see that there was no flesh or blood under the skin of the creature. It was also a sophisticated mechanical part operating.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, the two brothers rushed forward at the same time. One of them wrapped around the monster's neck, while the other repeatedly slashed at its body with his saber. Instantly, the monster's body was struck by multiple sabers, and a burst of sparks jumped wildly.

Lucy also flashed out, wanting to help. The silver bracelet on her wrist trembled slightly, and Lucy's hand trembled. The silver bracelet came out of her hand and quickly transformed into a silver spider the size of a washbasin on the ground. The Silver Winged Runner's work had been much smoother since he had the supply of Times Silver. Now that he had already recovered 20% of his body, he could see that his body was much larger than before when he entered the battle posture.

However, the supplemented Thames Silver wasn't enough to support it to switch to humanoid combat, so it still appeared like a spider that was easy to move around. The silver spider slid on the ice and arrived at the monster's chassis in an instant. The silver-winged killer jumped up and grabbed onto a member of the chassis. Its six silver arachnid joints were digging around, causing sparks to erase and finally tearing off the square-shaped structure.

One could see that there were many wires of different sizes connecting the other end of the component to the chassis of the Mechanical Spider Monster. After being pulled off by the Silver Winged Killer, the Mechanical Spider Monster inertia twisted a few times and stopped.

"That's the power system for it to move. After Xiao Qi removed it, this thing naturally won't move."

After Alan removed Chiyo from the monster, Lucy asked a few people to help her turn the arachne over. She jumped onto the monster herself and groped around the helmet-wearing head. A moment later, Lucy took out a chip from underneath the helmet and happily said, "This is the command terminal. If you rewrite the program, this thing will obey our orders."

"Can you do such a thing?" Alan said expectantly. This robotic arachne was equivalent to a local snake in the base. If he could control it, it would naturally be of great benefit to the exploration base.

"It's a little difficult. There are no tools here." Said Lucy.

The silver spider beside her trembled slightly. Lucy seemed to have received a message from it and asked in surprise, "Xiao Qi, can you rewrite it?"

The Silver Winged Runner's emotionless voice rang in Lucy's ears, "My body has been restored to about 25%. The fighter jet has not yet recovered to its peak condition, but its ability to invade procedures and even rewrite has been largely restored, or it can be tried."

"In that case, there's no harm in letting you try." Lucy casually tossed the chip to the silver spider on the ground.

A slit suddenly appeared on the Silver Spider's back. Both sides opened, forming a groove. Electron patterns could be seen in the groove, and when the chip landed in the groove, fluorescent patterns began to appear on the back of the silver spider. Alan walked over and looked at Lucy. Lucy pointed at the silver spider and said, "Seven is rewriting the program."

"You Silver Winged Killer's function is becoming more and more convenient."

'"Very normal. As the ultimate killing machine, the Silver Winged Killer has the ability to invade all kinds of intelligent terminals and even rewrite programs. Otherwise, how can we enter a heavily guarded area to assassinate its target?" Lucy looked at the silver spider beneath her feet and sighed, "It is precisely because they are so dangerous that they cannot escape destruction in the end. If we can't control them, the owner side will become even more dangerous. Isn't that ironic?"

"Then do you have to be careful?"

"For the time being, there is no need to worry. Unless it evolves its own intelligence, it will be able to break free from the restraints of the program. As for now, it is unable to do so."

The patterns on the silver spider's back disappeared, and the chip was lifted up. Lucy bent down and picked it up. The Silver Winged Killer said: 'The program has been rewritten and we are now a staff member of this base. We have the authority to give orders to hunters and, of course, the owner's retinal scan will be required to confirm the restart.'

"Good job." Lucy complimented. She jumped down from the robotic arachne with the chip in her hand and inserted it back into the slot under her helmet.

The Silver Spider also reinstalled the power system under the chassis. A moment later, the sound of parts operating came from the mechanical spider monster's body. Alan and the others retreated a little vigilantly, but Lucy was confident in the Silver Winged Runner. She didn't get down, but stood on the spider's body. When the helmet lit up a few dots of light, a few rays of light shot out. Lucy leaned over and let the rays of light sweep through her eyes.

"Retinal scan complete. Permission confirmed. Good afternoon, Ms. Lucy."

A mechanical sound came from the helmet and Lucy gestured "OK" to Allen and the others. Then he said to the arachne, "Give me your number."

"Hunter S-16."

"Very good, number 16. Take us to the control center. Also, what happened here?"

"Your question has already exceeded my authority. I'm sorry I can't answer it. There's a journal in the control center. Please consult it yourself." After the mechanical arachne finished speaking, the arachne knuckles propped up and began to row.

Lucy shrugged her shoulders at Alan and said, "Looks like we'll have to solve the problem ourselves."

With the Hunter leading the way, Allen and the others didn't have to grope their own paths. Lucy asked him questions along the way, and the hunter answered faithfully the questions within his authority. Although they didn't answer many questions, Allen and the others also knew about the situation at the base. Hunters were the mechanical guards of the base, and there were fewer than seven of them left. Apart from that, there was another type of Mechanical Guard Ranger that only had light firepower, but emphasized mobility and flexibility.

The number of wanderers was higher, and they continued to follow the previous procedure of wandering around the base to exclude intruders who were not within their authority.

Although the base has been abandoned, but for these artificial intelligence. Unless they stop functioning, the program will continue forever. josei

These are machines that can be far more loyal than any other life form. However, relying too much on them could lead to unimaginable destruction.

While Allen and the others were heading to the control center unhindered, Garner and the others were running with exhaustion. Sometimes fate was like this, but when one was in the same space, one's circumstances could be completely different. However, Garner and the others had no time to spit on the injustice of fate. The vicious creatures behind them could only focus their minds on what was right in front of them.

Being alive was more important than anything else!

It was a human-like vicious creature. It was agile, cunning, and powerful. It was not long after Garner and the others left the Material Transfer Platform. More precisely, the monster was waiting for its prey to arrive in the corridor they passed by. Garner and the others were undoubtedly prey. Judging from the head of the monster he had encountered on the platform, Garner judged that it should be a mature biological weapon.

However, this judgment did not help solve the dilemma before him.

When they encountered that vicious creature, a battle broke out between the adventurer team and it. Garner and the others had just experienced a fierce battle, and their Physique Energy had yet to fully recover. However, this vicious creature had been accumulating momentum for a long time, and it was simply relying on Yi to do it. Its speed could be said to be extremely high, swiftly swimming between Garner's giant sword and the gap between the two blades of the red leaf.

Occasionally, they would have rushed to kill the three of them. If Garner hadn't bitten them to death, the three of them wouldn't have been able to escape. In the end, the vicious creatures were outnumbered and were repelled by Garner and the others. However, it did not take long for it to return. Moreover, this time, it was accompanied by many alien larvae.

The situation was reversed. Garner didn't even have the strength to curse. He could only flee with his subordinates. This escape was like a headless fly flying in the corridor. At first, Garner was running for his life. After a while, he noticed that the alien larvae that would occasionally emerge from a corner were not completely disorganized. These monsters were forcing them in a certain direction. Whenever they wanted to change directions, they would be blocked. Thus, they could only follow the path that the monsters had deliberately left behind.

Garner felt his hair stand on end when he thought of this. These weren't ordinary monsters. They even had intelligence beyond his comprehension.

In the end, the adventurer was forced into a hall. They panted violently, but the monsters that were chasing after them seemed to have disappeared, disappearing into the shadows of the corridors outside the hall. After taking a deep breath, Garner spoke his mind and said, "Everyone be careful, those things won't force us here for no reason. I don't think they're playing hide-and-seek, so there must be something strange about this place."

Bass flicked his finger, ejecting several balls of lightning, illuminating the space within a few meters of everyone. Under the light, one could see many corpses scattered all over the hall. It looked like a graveyard, causing one's back to turn cold. Their faces were bitter, and they began to regret not listening to Alan's advice. If they hadn't insisted on entering the ruins before, they might be enjoying the pleasant afternoon sunshine on a patch of grass.

The Wilderness Highlands, known for their dangers, were no different from heaven compared to this relic. However, they rejected heaven and insisted on digging into hell.
