Psychics don't die from gunfire

"--Um?!"

Looking at the sudden stream of light, Song Shi raised his fingers slightly, about to call out the flames.

But the next moment, from his deep intuition, he suddenly had a hunch that the key was harmless to him, so he put down his hand again.

He closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, opened them again.

"Your guess is correct." Song Shi's expression was a little strange: "This is indeed the secret key to reach this network domain."

"How should I put it? Now I have one more choice."

He slowly opened his hand, and the key appeared silently: "It cannot be transferred or leaked. Its only effect is that when we dive in the future, we can choose to jump directly here."

"Then, are you coming again?" Lapis Lazuli asked.

"Of course it's coming." Song Shi clenched his fingers and snuffed out the key. He looked around: "Although the abyss is always full of strange things, and many places don't even exist in a way that humans can recognize, it's different here."

"Even without the anomalies we just discussed."

Song Shi raised a finger and pointed at the sky above and the sea of ​​sand beneath his feet: "Don't you think this place has some obvious 'purpose' for us?"

"I don't believe you didn't feel it." Song Shi laughed: "I don't believe you're not curious either. It just so happens that I also want to find out what the real purpose of this place is."

Lapis Lazuli was silent for a moment and exhaled - it opened the exhaust hole of the sphere and sprayed air outwards.

"Yes, I am indeed curious."

"So, consensus is reached!"

Song Shi laughed loudly, raised his hand to high-five the other person, and sighed: "I actually quite like this kind of puzzle-solving work, but I rarely have the opportunity to do it. Maybe I can experience it this time-"

The sky suddenly trembled.

Then, amidst the cheers that sounded like a roaring mountain and a tsunami again, another container appeared in the crack that opened half of the sky!

At the same time, a light blue holographic projection suddenly dropped.

——That’s a huge ranking list!

There is a row of hours on it, showing a countdown of "309"... within 13 days?

At this moment, there are only two names on this huge list.

The contents of both names were garbled characters similar to "ЯАзЪС", and no valid information could be seen. However, when Song Shi looked up, he could clearly feel that the name ranked first represented himself.

After the name, there are numbers - currently both are 1.

He looked at Lapis Lazuli again, and from the interactive interface revealed by the other party, he understood that the same was true for the other party.

"I'm the first one and you're the second one. Do you want us to race in the same group?" Song Shi glanced at the list and then turned his attention to the container that was about to fall: "In that case."

"Wait, are you the first too?" Lapis Lazuli suddenly interrupted the young man.

Song Shi was startled, and his expression changed slightly: "'Ye'. This name does not refer to the two of us, but is the name of two groups?"

"——Besides us, has anyone else entered here?"

A violent collision interrupted the conversation. The container crashed down, leaving a huge deep crater at the impact point, and a massive amount of wind and sand swept around it.

The next moment, a huge silhouette tore through the wind and sand and crashed into the two tiny mice in front!

Only this time, after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Song Shi couldn't help but frown.

The opponent has a huge body comparable to a two-story apartment, and is filled with pure mechanical structures. Delicate and wild, these two completely different assembly styles are not harmoniously combined in it.

It looks like a heavily armored tank. Its surface is covered with a large number of misshapen parts, like a magnet filled with iron filings. Dark black liquid flows continuously along the gaps. Every time it takes a step forward, a large number of broken parts will be thrown out. of parts.

The other person brings you this feeling

"Omnic?"

Then, the three muzzles of the heavy tank's front end lit up at the same time, and three dazzling energy beams swept past the vicinity!

Of course, Song Shi wouldn't want to try this kind of firepower that reached the level of a heavy main battle tank and could easily blast through fortifications. The "forging flame" instantly poured into his limbs and bones, greatly improving his body's function. He went to He stepped back and raised his hand to press softly.

Fire rains like waterfalls.

No, it should be said that the sea of ​​flames collapsed from the sky to the bottom!

The tank felt a sense of crisis. As soon as the muzzle was extinguished and the engine roared, it would rush at full speed in one direction to avoid the center of the sea of ​​fire.

Lapis Lazuli floats in the air, and the mechanical arm is raised.

Buzz.

A low buzzer passed by in an instant, and a ring-shaped projection appeared under the tank. Immediately afterwards, the invisible gravity turned into substantial pressure, and with the heart-wrenching sound of metal twisting, it was pressed in place!

——Gravity field·cage.

Then, the sea of ​​​​fire burned.

The tank was unable to break free from the constraints of gravity for the time being. When the bottom plate lowered, six mechanical legs protruded out and embedded themselves in the sea of ​​sand, stabilizing the body. At the same time, he held up a spherical light shield to try to block the flames.

But to no avail.

Under the effect of [Rendering], the surface of this thick light shield rippled violently, just like a drop of ink falling into a cup filled with clear water. The original white color was transformed into red gold at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then bang collapse!

Song Shi casually brought his five fingers together, and the sea of ​​​​fire instantly set off a wave that was about to completely submerge it.

With the blessing of [Burning Blood] and some skills in use, pure "matter" is like a cracker in front of today's [Embers], but the armor of this heavy tank is thick enough, and it actually managed to hold on - But that's all.

This huge and deformed tank collapsed and melted like a burning candle. Under the unreserved and all-out gravity of Lapis Lazuli, it had been severely damaged by the flames. No matter how the engine roared, it could not escape the restraints.

But at this moment, Lapis Lazuli suddenly spoke.

"Song Shi! Please stop!"

The flames then paused and spread outward, revealing a "vacuum" in the sea of ​​​​fire. The tank was placed in the center, with mechanical sounds all over its body.

As if knowing that it was impossible to break free, the tank suddenly stopped and no longer vibrated wildly. Instead, it suddenly raised its mechanical legs. With the surface constantly being crushed by gravity, it actually struggled to lift the body up little by little!

A harsh sound suddenly sounded, first a series of vague mechanical noises, which soon became clear, but remained intermittent.

While maintaining gravity suppression, Lapis Lazuli stretched out several data cables, trying to insert them into the tank for communication, but the volume of the latter suddenly increased. Even the cold simulated mechanical sound still made people feel the meaning contained in it. Extremely angry.

"Traitor. Traitor!"

As if talking to Lapis Lazuli, who was flying in front of him, or as if he was suddenly immersed in some memory, parts of the tank kept exploding, and the thick black liquid was thrown out wantonly. It roared: "I can still fighting--"

"I can still fight!" It roared like it was crying: "Why abandon us!"

Then everything came to an abrupt end.

More than a dozen flame streams suddenly rose from the nearby sea of ​​fire. These flame streams were intertwined with each other. Under the recasting of the forging flames, they turned into five beams of fire pillars that extended straight and seemed to be substantial. They penetrated towards the surface of the tank and interlocked to bite it. He was nailed to the spot.

"It's going to self-destruct." Song Shi looked at the tank and said calmly: "Lapis Lazuli, I can delay the time. If you want to get its memory data, you still have twelve seconds."

Lapis Lazuli didn't care what to say anymore, the entire sphere suddenly expanded, stretching out dozens of slender cables, piercing towards the tank below.

Twelve seconds later.

A dazzling white light flashed from the cracks in the tank's shattered body, but in the previous moment, seemingly endless flames devoured it and turned it into ashes.

"You can't save it."

Song Shi looked directly at Lapis Lazuli: "As a non-psychic person, staying in the abyss of depth 4 for a long time, even if the resistance of omnics is higher than that of humans, it is useless. It has been completely filled with redundant psionic energy. It's polluted, and now it's just a distorted monster that retains a little memory of the past - even this so-called 'memory', I'm afraid most of it has long been distorted."

"——This fellow omnic of yours died a long time ago."

The young man gave the answer bluntly: "Now it is just a zombie wearing the skin of its past."
