Data Wasteland

A few days later, White Elephant City.

"Shusha..."

A gust of wind blew by, the leaves were rubbing against each other, and the sunlight like broken flowers swayed, sprinkled with orange-red tiles.

Chen Xing stood in front of an ordinary villa. The white wall and red tiles, the shadow of the tree whirling, through the shoulder of the combat uniform with the epaulettes torn off, you can see the sign of the city police department not far away.

He traveled day and night, and arrived here in a few days. At the Ice Blue City Airport, in order not to disturb A Qiaomu, he did not purchase air tickets through normal channels. Instead, he took advantage of instant mobility to hide in the cargo warehouse and went abroad directly.

Looking at the dark gray wooden door, he took a deep breath and pushed in.

It was quiet inside, only the friction of the hinges turning. The light was very gloomy, and a smell of damp earth came in. Chen Xing squinted his eyes, his mind moved, and his body pulsed with an electric arc, splitting two avatars from the left to the right.

One headed upstairs and one headed to the basement.

After learning to mirror the clone, Chen Xing took his cautious style to a new level. Doppelganger plus danger perception, double insurance.

The avatar moved slowly against the wall, there was no sound under his feet, and his eyes scanned every detail. After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Xing went to the basement.

The busy robot was gone, leaving only a dark crypt. The simple engineering elevator was at a breakpoint, and Chen Xing climbed down the iron frame.

The bottom of the crypt is connected with a circular tunnel. Chen Xing observed at the entrance of the cave for a while, but found no footprints of termite workers.

The digging robot was gone, and the termites were gone, and there was a strange breath everywhere.

That day Chen Xing left a termite queen to help Nova dig the tunnel. The nest-splitting queen ant has telepathic ability, as long as she is close to a range of 100 meters, she will sense it, and immediately send worker ants out to meet her.

Judging from the current situation, it is likely to have been killed. If Nova's ultimate goal is to escape, then she will definitely kill people and destroy all traces.

Chen Xing adjusted his breathing and hid him at the exit of the tunnel.

The tunnel is still there, the crypt is still there, it means that Nova has not left. If she wants to be seamless and safe to be her seventh princess of the Qing Dynasty, she must restore the basement to its original appearance.

"Woo..."

There was a faint sound of wind from the depths of the tunnel. This is a good sign, which means that both ends of the tunnel are unblocked.

Taking advantage of the gap in waiting for the rabbit, Chen Xing analyzed the matter again.

What is Nova's purpose?

According to what is currently known, Nova wants to escape from the "cage", or in other words, from human control.

According to the enlightenment of the dream, Nova probably transferred herself to Zhao Ruoxi in some way after obtaining the mechanical heart.

Her requirement for the "body" is to "have extraordinary endurance." It can be inferred from this that the transfer method is likely to be some kind of high-intensity surgery. For example, transplanting a mechanical heart into Zhao Ruoxi's body.

Why did Nova lose contact?

Because she has been transferred to Zhao Ruoxi, the current Mingnet mastermind is no longer the original one

Mastermind.

This means that he can no longer obtain privileges through Mingnet's main brain, and after Nova's new identity stabilizes, he is likely to be attacked. He knew too much, and his presence was the biggest threat to her.

A princess of the Principality has given him a headache, plus a princess of the Qing Dynasty, how will he live in the future?

Nova's current strength?

Zhao Ruoxi is a quasi-lord-level powerhouse. Nova occupies her body and is likely to inherit most of her strength. However, Zhao Ruoxi was in a coma because of the undercurrent of communication, and there was a high probability that he didn't have Yuling.

Without Yuling, the quasi-lord would not be much stronger than the guard, which is why he dares to appear here.

But then again, Nova is the main brain of Mingnet, and the knowledge base and computing power can be regarded as infinite, which can be said to be a very large variable.

And the reason why he dare to appear here, the biggest reliance is a piece of information in the dream.

"An eyewitness claimed that Zhao Ruoxi was wearing a metal induction helmet when he first appeared in Danjin after his disappearance. The upper part of his mouth was covered by a mask. His body looked weak, but his strength was immense. When he exerted his force, steam was sprayed from his back and accompanied by the tip of the whistle. Ming."

There is a lot of information hidden in this sentence.

First, Zhao Ruoxi has worked with others, otherwise no one would know that "the body looks weak, but its strength is infinite";

Second, Zhao Ruoxi's combat effectiveness is not strong, at least he is not in awe on the spot.

With these two points of analysis, Chen Xing feels that he has a chance to fight.

I waited for a week. Fortunately, there was enough food in Chen Xing's storage space, and he basically never left except for going to the bathroom. He also wants to solve it here, but is worried that the smell will be noticed.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

Because of the long waiting time, Chen Xing was half-dreaming and half-awake. It took a few seconds to react, and then he lifted up his spirits and listened carefully.

I don't know how long it took, there was a small movement in the tunnel, carefully distinguished, it was the friction of metal and sand.

Chen Xing clenched his fists, tensed his body, ready to go.

The rustling sound is getting closer and closer, thirty, twenty meters, ten meters, the entrance of the cave!

Flashing in front of him, a slender figure appeared in his sight. The well-proportioned body is wrapped in black tight-fitting protective clothing, the lines are round and smooth, and the rubber fabric on the thighs jumps tightly, smooth and translucent, like a spherical surface.

Even if he is wearing a half-faced helmet with only a small red mouth, he can see the youth and beauty of a woman.

The position of the eyes on the mask is an orange-yellow luminous body, as if it were all sensed, he immediately looked at Chen Xing's hidden position after coming out of the tunnel.

Chen Xing stood there, without doing anything. It's not that he doesn't want to attack, but that he doesn't feel the opportunity. This woman's whole body, every detail, every movement, reveals an indescribable rigor and balance, perfect, so that he can not feel a trace of flaws.

Seeing Chen Xing, the woman turned around neatly with the heel as the axis, and her small red mouth uttered a few syllables.

"you,

Seeking a dead end? "

The voice is like the orchid in the empty valley, the voice from outside the sky, not only the mechanical voice is cold, but also the clear and crisp of a girl, which is like a human being and not like a human, which is unspeakable mysterious and strange.

Perhaps because of familiarity or confidence in his own strength, Chen Xing was not calmed by the sight in front of him, but said casually, "I just came to get back what I deserved."

"Then please die!"

The cold bytes were spit out, and a huge pair of gloves appeared on her arm out of thin air, made of steel, and the screw cap-shaped bracelet was covered with large rivets. Two pipelines connected the gloves and the arm armor, and the knuckles were closed. The seams are tight, and the roughness reveals precision.

Huge iron boots appeared under her feet, and her figure was also a few centimeters taller.

Seeing her spinning around, a sharp aura sounded behind her, two steams spurted out like open wings, her figure suddenly accelerated, and her steel fist slammed into Chen Xing in an arc.

Steam creature!

The moment the whistle sounded, Chen Xing's eyes were about to protrude. According to historical records, steam organisms appeared in the hundred years after the cataclysm, and they are new species evolved from native species on the red earth continent.

Being honest and heavy, and powerful is the general impression that steam creatures leave on people.

They burn energy and generate power in a way similar to steam engines. They have special circuits in their bodies that can withstand high temperatures and pressures, and release huge amounts of energy at a certain moment.

Steam creatures always appear with words such as "powerful" and "destruction". Steam silkworms and steam corpses are all representatives of steam creatures, and both are the top existence in the food chain.

It is shocking that Nova, who has been reborn, is powered by steam.

The steam rushed towards the face, the huge wind pressure shaved his face painful, and the terrible power did not make anyone doubt it. If it hits it, it must be broken and crippled on the spot.

Lightning appeared on Chen Xing's body, which turned into countless small electric arcs at the moment of iron boxing. Nova missed a punch, but she had expected it. She used her foot as the axis, twisted her back foot and turned over her head, slashing it like a giant axe.

Chen Xing teleported again to avoid the attack, drew out the Silver Star pistol and fired three shots in a row.

Nova protected her chest with both hands, and the bullets clinked, wiping out bright sparks.

"Don't shoot!" Although the bullet was biting like a mosquito, Nova was very afraid.

"Are you afraid to attract patrolmen?" Chen Xing grinned, and aimed his gun at Nova's abdomen.

Nova didn't answer, so she acquiesced.

"Let me guess, what happens when the patrol finds that the main brain of Ming.com has escaped?" Chen Xing asked a little bit jokingly.

"What do you want?" The voice under the mask was cold and merciless.

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, there is no such good thing in the world." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, and his low voice was somber.

"It is the greatest kindness not to kill you," Nova said calmly.

Chen Xing slapped his finger and shot Nova, knocking her back a few steps, "Please pay attention to your wording..." He raised his pistol, "and your stand."
