Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

It has been seven months since his resurrection. Zhuang Xuteng believed that he had completed the preparations and walked out of the Wall of Sighs. Outside the wall, a ten-man pioneering team was drilling. The enhanced people among them felt something and turned their heads to look over. Unfortunately, Zhuang Xuteng had already entered the invisible state, and a short burst left them out of their field of vision.

The new body does not contain any shadow slave accessories or implants, so functions such as high speed and high burst no longer require shadow slave energy, and can be completed with mana and resentment. Now, Zhuang Xuteng no longer has to worry about the shadow slave energy signal after high speed and high burst, which greatly improves the concealment of the action. Only if he is not afraid of the company's wide-area scan, Zhuang Xuteng dares to leave the Wall of Sighs and try to return to the company world.

According to the instructions of the Lich Master, he went straight ahead and found the company's mine three thousand kilometers away, which was the exit location of Peicheng. Zhuang Xuteng stopped here, carefully observed the defense of the mine, and then relied on the shadow cover to blend into the shadows of buildings and terrain, and quietly sneaked into the transmission channel when a truck transporting shadow slave minerals passed by.

Accustomed to the air in the Wall of Sighs, the dampness, rottenness and fishy smell of Peicheng became particularly obvious, making him a little uncomfortable. It was evening on the side of the Shadow Cong Channel City. The sky gradually darkened, but the street lights were not on yet. Zhuang Xuteng hid under the truck, used his sensory tentacles to find the passage and shelter, and slipped out of the transportation center while no one was paying attention.

The factory was full of execution puppets. Their daily workload was much higher than that of ordinary workers, but they could not do more. Even if Zhuang Xuteng walked past them, as long as he did not delay the work of the execution puppets, they would not react. However, theft cannot be done here, because the execution puppets have extremely accurate statistics on production tools, and they will be discovered if a glove is missing. The robe on Zhuang Xuteng's body came from the Lich Master. It has a history of ten thousand years. Coupled with the erosion of the decaying power of the Shadow Cong world, it has begun to disintegrate. When Zhuang Xuteng left the factory area, he was already naked.

In order to avoid wrapping himself in cardboard and plastic found in roadside trash bins, he could only cover himself with Shadow Servant, but this thing was not warm at all. Zhuang Xuteng didn't know what year it was, but he was sure it was winter, probably early winter. A sleet was gradually intensifying, and the cold water droplets plundered Zhuang Xuteng's body temperature from all angles. It seemed that this world did not welcome him at all.

Zhuang Xuteng came at the wrong time. As the main work of the mine was handed over to the execution puppet, the shuttle bus had been cancelled here, and there was no commuting. The road from the mine to the city became empty and dark. In order to save money, the city government simply turned off the street lights and cancelled the buses. Anyway, the execution puppets can see at low light levels at night, and the lack of street lights has no effect on them. But for Zhuang Xuteng, he either walked back all the way in the freezing rain or rushed back with high speed and high burst.

Given that the energy fluctuations of the shadow detection network were still permeating the air, Zhuang Xuteng decided to walk back. Without street lights, it was just right to walk in the dark. He now hopes to be lucky enough to catch a car back to the city. The sooner he goes back, the sooner he can know the current time and the situation in Peicheng.

Looking at Peicheng from afar, it is still brightly lit. The huge projection of men and women walking through the steel forest is always in a coquettish manner. Zhuang Xuteng remembered that there was a time projection above the city government building, which would display the current time and holiday names of the sun, moon and year every night. He searched for a moment and did not find the projection where he should see it.

"It's a bit weird." Zhuang Xuteng added another layer of resentful spirit servants outside the shadow, just like putting on a raincoat. He had been waiting for a ride but couldn't get one, so he had to walk all the way back to Peicheng.

The sensing tentacles entered the city earlier than him and quickly clarified the current time. It has been more than a year since his battle with Anzu. It was mid-autumn then, and now it is early winter of the following year.

"It's been the first anniversary... Why is this shadow covering system still on?"

Zhuang Xuteng is very sure that the shadow energy system that permeates the world is turned on to locate him. The cost of maintaining such a large-scale shadow energy is not a small amount even for the company. More than a year after the battle ended, the energy system was still on, which only meant that the company was still cautious, and Zhuang Xuteng had to act with caution.

"It's not necessarily aimed at me, right?" Zhuang Xuteng never thought that he was the last person in the world who could threaten the company. The "threshold" of the world's will and the theory that "the company will win from now on" were absolutely untrue. Since he dared to return to Peicheng, he had naturally found and had a way to deal with the company.

A naked ghost came to Peicheng. He quickly put on the stolen clothes, changed his face, and disguised himself to enter the city controlled by the company. Entering the city from the direction of the mine is the industrial new area, and after crossing the Pei River is the river embankment area, and the surrounding environment will become more and more familiar. He soon found the place where he had hidden at the beginning, which was not surprising.

The door of the house was open, and the yellow seal wrapped the door frame like a mummy. The things inside were turned upside down, and now they were covered with dust and a lot of mold. This was the wrong starting point for the decisive battle. Zhuang Xuteng's thinking and judgment were wrong. He didn't even help Zhuang Feifei and Ge Gongdao leave first, but hurried to fight with Anzu. It was really irresponsible.

There were no battle damage or blood stains in Boss Suo's house, and the boxes used by Brother Dao and Feifei to "escape" were not there either, indicating that they at least got out from here. Where will they be? Have you escaped the company's pursuit? Zhuang Xuteng certainly hopes that they will succeed, but from a rational perspective, this possibility is too low.

After finding clothes that could keep out the cold from the warehouse and nearby houses, and covering his face with a scarf and hat, Zhuang Xuteng continued his search. He first came to Liming District. Lucy's music restaurant had completely changed its appearance and was transformed into a social public work station with a canteen and bathroom. Zhuang Xuteng didn't see anyone who had worked for Lucy, so he asked nearby residents what happened.

"The mercenaries started a firefight and caused a fire that burned the restaurant to the ground." An old woman selling a dream fog machine experience program told Zhuang Xuteng: "Later, the city government funded the bulldozing of the ruins and turned it into a public place. Work Point. If you use Work Point’s work points card, you can get a discount when you buy trial programs from me. I can add one more level to you: What level are you at now?”

Zhuang Xuteng didn't know about the hierarchy, and besides, he didn't have any money. Waving goodbye to the shop owner, he walked deeper along the alley. There were many new surveillance cameras installed in the alley, so Zhuang Xuteng created his own shadows to block their sight. He found several warehouses that Sister Lucy had used, and found that all the warehouse doors had been pried open, and there was really nothing left inside except traces of solidified oil on the ground. The only thing that had not been moved from the warehouses of several middlemen was a heavy truck, but it also lost all its tires and lay helplessly on the dark ground waiting to completely rust.

As a senior mercenary under Lucy, Zhuang Xuteng has an exclusive warehouse where he keeps things he looted from gang bosses. When they "separated" from the Nightingale and Rockbird sisters, the two chose to turn their spoils into cash. Zhuang Xuteng was not short of money and was not in a hurry to sell, so he asked Lucy to save his things and put them in a separate warehouse farther away. Only Zhuang Xuteng knows the password there, so maybe the things inside are still there.

The warehouse doors are closed, which is a good start. Lucy's warehouse has been designed to prevent scanning, and there are many petroleum sandwich layers and lead sheets. Zhuang Xuteng found a hidden switch in the corner, turned on the external power supply, lifted the cover and entered the password on the keyboard. The system prompted that the password was incorrect. Zhuang Xuteng entered it again, but it was still wrong.

It's impossible. Only he knows this password and no one can change it. If the warehouse is exposed, the company will surely empty its contents. If this place is used as a trap, then it will be impossible to change the password... Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and decided to go in and take a look. He put his hand on the electronic lock, and the resentful spirit jelly penetrated deep inside to find out the structure of the lock, and then destroyed it at the targeted location through the disintegration effect.

After the locking structure is destroyed, it doesn't matter whether there is a password or not. Zhuang Xuteng opened the door, and the smell of putrid excrement and garbage rushed over, making people's brains ache. The interior space of the warehouse was about the same size as a container. In the corner, Zhuang Xuteng found a huddled, pale figure.

"Meteor?" Zhuang Xuteng was shocked. Meteor was lying on a bed made of cardboard, with a Dream Mist Experience Machine on his head, and an oxygen circulation device connected to his mouth and nose. In addition, 20% of the warehouse was filled with various supplies, and 80% of it was garbage. . She was immersed in the dream created by the Dream Mist Experience Machine, and had no idea that the warehouse door had opened and Zhuang Xuteng came to her side.

Meteor's physical condition was very bad. Not only was she extremely weak and lacking nutrition, she even had "dead spots" on her skin: fungi began to eat her flesh. Zhuang Xuteng pressed the emergency shutdown button of the dream fog machine, then picked up Meteor, took her out of this filthy environment, and used necromancy to inject vitality into her and maintain her vital signs.

Finding a place to stay was easy, any hotel would have an empty room, and he could jump in by opening the window with his wraith tentacles. The better hotels have bigger windows, and the fancier rooms are better stocked. About ten minutes later, Meteor slowly opened his eyes and looked confusedly at the dark room. She smelled food, but was still sore that she was awake.

Zhuang Xuteng carefully checked Meteor with Wraith Jelly to ensure that her head had not been replaced or a chip had been inserted into her. "Meteor, your environment is too bad. If I didn't find you, you would have died in there, and no one would even find you. Come on, come and have something to eat?"

Meteor was still a little confused. She turned over first, faced down, then propped herself up with her arms, and slowly climbed to the cup of steaming water. There are no cutlery in the house, so water glasses can be used instead. Fortunately, there is still hot water, which can be placed in a basin. You can heat the porridge made by endless spoons through the water cup.

"Eat something first, and then take a shower." Zhuang Xuteng said to Meteor: "I will protect your safety, so you can rest assured. I stole some potions from the pharmacy downstairs to improve your resistance."

Meteor nodded while eating, but never spoke. She moved slowly, as if she was old, and it took her almost half an hour to finish a cup of porridge. Then, she got up with her hands on her knees, took off her clothes directly in the middle of the room, and staggered towards the bathroom.

Hiss... something is not right about the meteor! Zhuang Xuteng was afraid that something would happen to her, so he used his sensing tentacles and vengeful spirit servants to look after her to prevent her from bumping into him. He found that all the movements of Meteor were like those of a walking zombie, full of recklessness and lifelessness. She had no interest in cleaning herself. She didn't even adjust the water temperature herself, but had to rely on Zhuang Xuteng.

Fortunately, there were still undead servants, and Zhuang Xuteng finally took care of Meteor. He sat in front of Meteor, applied ointment to her skin, sprayed her with recovery medicine and put a bandage on her skin. He fed her medicine and gave her injections with his own hands. Then he carried her to the bed with a handle in his hand and covered her with a quilt. "Go to sleep, you can rest assured here."

As soon as Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, Meteor's mouth dropped. She then let out a long sigh, put her hands by her ears, and made an upward motion. Seeing this, Zhuang Xuteng realized: "You are not in a dream. I disabled the Dream Mist Experience a long time ago."

Unexpectedly, Meteor tilted her head and muttered: "The dosage is exceeded? Can the version be upgraded?" She thought for a moment, and then began to issue instructions. Zhuang Xuteng couldn't understand those instructions, but he could guess that Meteor was canceling certain functions of the Mengwu experience machine.

"I don't know how to prove that you are not in the dream now..." Zhuang Xuteng was completely in trouble. Fortunately, Meteor operated out of thin air for a while and found that the situation had not changed at all, so he began to take the initiative to verify whether this was a dream. She got out of bed, checked her body, went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror for a long time, and even wanted to go out. Zhuang Xuteng quickly stopped her.

"The corridor is under surveillance. I came in through the window. You can only move around in the house for the time being."

"It's amazing. I can make quick judgments. If it's fake, it means that I have been caught by the company and connected to the execution puppet computing power network." Meteor looked at Zhuang Xuteng carefully through the light outside the window, and then shook his head , said: "Your information is still not accurate enough. This face is very similar to him, but there are still many differences."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said: "You are right. There are times when I look in the mirror and I feel strange. I don't know how to convince you that this is reality, but I will definitely take good care of you. In addition, I have to Let me ask you a few questions."

"Hmph! I won't tell you anything. You will never be able to pry open my memory database!"

"Uh... I just want to know how everyone is doing, Morgana, Zhuang Feifei, my parents, Brother Dao, Boss Suo and others. I must have affected a lot of people, right?"

Meteor snorted, closed his mouth tightly, and said nothing.

"Okay, I guess you still think of me as a bad guy." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged and said: "Since I am a bad guy, I order you to go to bed and rest. You don't have to think about resisting, there is no point, you can't be my opponent. "

Meteor raised his head, stared at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Then you take good care of my body and at least wash it as clean as now. This program is very good. If you run it for a while, I might confess."

"You can run it as long as you want in this life..." Zhuang Xuteng said: "This world will not be destroyed for a hundred years, it will run for you."
