Wasteland Echoer

After the huge, soul-stirring buzz, the searchlights hanging high at the top of the huge space burst out at inappropriate times, losing their sacred and pitiful mission of emitting light.

Then, countless light balls of purple, dark green, dark blue and other cold colors hovered around the merging mechanical bodies like giant fireflies.

"Wovuya, Abena...he's not well." Dak's anxious voice reached his ears.

At this critical moment, Wovya and he discovered that Abena, who had barely maintained his last bit of physical strength to anger Gleb, had white lips at the moment, and there was no trace of blood in his body, even the heart of the lost person that should have been burning The area also began to become warm and cool, and he was in a semi-conscious state.

Despite the calls of several people, Abena only opened his lips slightly and was unable to spit out even a single word.

In desperation, after slightly lifting the head of Abena who fell on the ground, Dak relied on the steady light of the flashlight to see clearly that at some point, the gauze tied around Abena's neck had turned into something like Just like being soaked in a pot of red dye, it doesn't look as white as it originally was.

His wound that seemed to have been scratched by a rock just now not only did not heal, but had turned black and oozed out a sticky, disgusting mixture like asphalt and glue.

Even the bones under the wound looked a bit like a machine painted black.

"'Sorrow', these 'sorrows' should have touched the strong mechanical power remaining in the 'Buffering Relics' and are 'mechanizing' Abena." Luo Nie analyzed.

"He... what will happen if he doesn't deal with it?" Dak asked, taking out the gauze again and replacing it with Abena.

"This kind of measure to deal with ordinary wounds has no effect, Dak. The body of the Lost becomes 'mechanized'. The best result is to lose all the magic power and rely on extraordinary drugs to relieve the pain for life. Almost, he will live in a mental illness for the rest of his life. Hospital, if it gets worse, he will lose all the 'sequence cores' he has acquired, lose all the blood in his body, turn all his bones into machines, and degenerate into a 'careless person' who only knows how to kill." Luo Nie said, taking the He picked up the "Crazy Bear" pistol in his hand and continued to turn his back to several people and said:

"If it were before, from a purely rational point of view, I would ask you to take out your 'Ending Core' and send Abena to meet the Lord and go to heaven. But now, as a human being, I can understand it from a deeper level. After 'sensation', I will suggest you treat the wound first, and then feed him blood. However, it may be too late. Now, the machine formed by Gleb's fusion is the most dangerous factor at present."

"I... Luo Nie and I are going to deal with Gleb. He has gone crazy. Maybe we can only get out of here by defeating him completely. Dak, you first help Abena treat his wounds. If he mutates into a 'Heartless Man' ...Then 'execute' him." Wulfya told Dak, striding forward and walking in front of Luonie's body, like a solid and thick steel wall.

Neither of them spoke, but looked up at the new "monster" that was gradually integrating.

After all, Wulfya has no magic source power, Luo Nie has not yet seen the appearance of the fusion body clearly, and the rocket launcher in their hands has been lost, so there is no way to stop this process.

But fortunately, after emitting a long roar that was half mechanical and half human, the countless indescribable chaotic lights lingering around the body of the "monster" disappeared, turning into a single terrifying crimson brilliance.

"This is a machine designed by my creator, the great 'Lord of Machines' on a draft. 'Bud Machine Mira' is a powerful individual soldier formed by the fusion of humans and machines that will be used in a certain era in the future. Weapons." Luo pinched his head, enduring the pain caused by mobilizing his memory, and said:

"I don't know why the 'Lord of Machines' poured these memories into my head. We are obviously still far away from that era."

"Be careful, Luo Nie!" While he was telling the story, the "Budezumi Mira" formed by the fusion of Gleb suddenly took a big step forward, stretched out a broad palm as big as half a human body, and slammed into It's Luo Nie.

boom!

The huge sound stirred up the dust that had been formed here for hundreds of years, raising a cloud of dust that was enough to obscure the vision, and smashed a shallow pit on the ground with spider web-like cracks outwards.

Fortunately, Wulfya had quick eyesight and quick hands. He quickly contracted his calf muscles and threw Luo Nie down before the attack arrived. After rolling awkwardly on the ground several times, he luckily avoided this fatal attack.

"How does this mechanical monster work, and what are its weaknesses, do you know?" Wofya roared, pinching Luo and lifting it up.

Luo pinched his lips and moved, but before he could continue his story, "Bud Memila" raised its mechanical foot again and slammed it towards the two of them.

In this way, in the busy and embarrassing situation of "mechanical" attacks and dodging attacks, Luo Nie finally found "Bud Mechanical Mila" and stepped into the deep pit of the floor that was in disrepair, and with difficulty pulled out the legs of his legs. During the break, while breathing heavily, he narrated:

"The 'Lord of Mechanics'... The memory he... left me mentioned that in the future humans... will abandon artillery and aerospace forces, as well as these basic firearms, and develop a tall humanoid machine that can be driven by a single soldier. .Initially, human soldiers need to enter and control the 'mechanical soldiers' to fight like an airplane.

"But in the sketch of the 'Lord of Machines', human beings will first be wrapped in a black colloidal substance, and the skin on the surface of the body will become a future machine-like circuit board, like a chip, inserted into the new machinery. By then, there will be no need to rely on With the magic source power, [Warriors] can control the 'mechanical soldiers' through their consciousness, and even during battle, their senses will be connected to the machinery so that they can sense danger at any time through pain."

"Is this the so-called 'Bud Mechanical Mira'?" Wulfya asked, pointing to the "Mechanical Giant" Gleb not far away.

"That's right." Luo Nie leaned against the wall and nodded:

"Furthermore, I did not smell the magic source power from Gleb. I suspect that the energy that was just fused with the machine was not the magic source power, but somewhere in this 'deep ruins' that we have not discovered. The energy supplied by the 'battery'. Gleb's fusion behavior should be caused by the mysterious technology of the old empire. Wulfya, I have a terrible idea."

"What?" Wulfya asked doubtfully, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Perhaps Ivan XXII has not died at all. He is looking at us somewhere in this ruins." Luo Nie opened his eyes wide, stared at Wofya's same blue eyes, and answered seriously.

"This is impossible, Ivan XXII was the emperor at least eight hundred years ago." Wulfya shook his head in disbelief.

"Gleb mentioned it several times just now when he was still sober. I guess that he may not have really seen Ivan XXII in his dream, but actually established a real world through some kind of technology. Contact and communication. Otherwise, how could those 'mechanical dog-headed' monsters listen to him so much?" Luo Nie further analyzed:

"If we divide it by era, eight hundred years have indeed passed. But in the five hundred years of the Wasteland Era, humankind's technology has not made any progress, nor has it developed much. It is equivalent to time being frozen for more than five hundred years. . From this point of view, the golden age of Crusted he created is not far away from us.

"I heard that Ivan's death had been prepared for a long time, as if he could predict it. This 'deep ruins' was gradually abandoned after his death. Subsequent emperors, such as Ivan Twenty-three and In the twenty-fifth life, I have not chosen to be buried here again.

“I have read a lot of official information left by Crusted, and there is no evidence that Ivan XXII truly believed in the Creator and God. On the contrary, his belief in machinery had exceeded the cognition of normal humans of that era. Therefore, you can say that he is a great man because of this, or you can say that he has seen through the essence of the human continent."

During the narration, the struggling "Budezumila" accidentally hit the hidden backup switch on the wall, triggering a brighter but rarely used huge electrical searchlight at the top of the space.

Suddenly, a fierce light splashed down, allowing Wulfya, Luo Nie and others to see clearly the true appearance of "Budzumila".

Similar to the memory that was poured into him, Luo Jie discovered that the body of "Bud Mecha Mira" was wrapped in a layer of black metal, and the machinery at each joint position was cleverly connected to ensure rare flexibility despite its huge body. .

The body of "Budome Mira" is no different from that of ordinary artificial robots. The armor covering the whole body provides unparalleled defense. The contrast between the head and the body is small and smoother.

The "Gun Bear Totem" is engraved on his chest. His legs are relatively strong and heavy. One of his arms has been transformed into a cannon, and the other has been transformed into a roulette for cutting, trying to help him get out of the predicament caused by the sunken ground.

Originally, Luo Nie was afraid of such a huge fusion machine, "Bud Machine Mira", but soon, the memory given to him by the "Master of Machines" told him that the battle was over.

"This lamp has the power of 'Light of Mechanical Spirit' inside, which is consistent with what the 'Lord of Machinery' gave me. At the beginning of the design draft, He set the law of 'Mechanical Spirit Destruction of Machinery'. In other words , it only takes a short time for 'Budezomira' to disintegrate. And Gleb, who gave up the body of the lost person to merge with it, will also die." Luo Nie said, with a somewhat gloomy expression:

"Perhaps, the moment he was blinded by hatred, this poor man was already destined to perish."

As soon as Luo Nie finished speaking, Wofya realized that "Budezumi Mira", which had been struggling just now, had stopped moving.

Soon, as countless mechanical parts fell apart, the strange asphalt-like sticky substance that finally fell to the ground and could barely maintain a human shape also melted quickly and turned into a pool of dark slime, flowing along the damaged ground. Went deeper into the "Bitter Relics".

At this moment, behind Wulfya, where Dak was, Abena's subtle coughing sound could be heard.
