Chapter 23 Debt Settlement
Joseph kept shuttling through the forest. At this time, there were many corrosion marks on the skin on his head, revealing half of his mechanically modified face, like a metal skeleton.
One eye also flashed red light.
"Beast..."
Joseph's half-skeleton-like mechanical face showed a ferocious look.
Who would have thought that such a big mess would appear on a mere awakening day!
How long ago was it that the inner city disciples died on the awakening day?
It was so embarrassing!
But thinking of the thorny nature of those wish creatures, and the giant python-shaped monster that he saw when he turned back before, Joseph's heart was also heavy.
Fortunately, he was semi-mechanized now, and with some devices on his body, he had a very high hiding method for smell, otherwise he would probably be caught up by those things.
But even now, through some early warning devices arranged along the way, he has already noticed that those things are approaching.
Although the number seems to be small and he can handle it, Joseph has no idea of killing them!
This is a very smart and cunning creature of will. They will take the initiative to reveal their flaws to lure people into the trap, giving you the illusion that you can defeat them.
This is why the two of them persisted for so long before. They finally escaped and couldn't take the risk!
"When I succeed, I will bring people to destroy your nest. Damn, so much loss!"
Even Joseph's worth, thinking about his losses along the way, can't help but feel a little distressed.
Whether it is the booby trap or the repair of the corroded area on his body, the cost is not cheap.
It's really embarrassing to lose so much without getting anything.
"I hope that B-level kid can survive, otherwise there will be no gain at all."
Joseph thought of the 3,000 units of will and the B-level talent of the outer city.
If the mud leg survives, it can barely make up for some losses.
His losses are so great that he must find a place to make up for it.
It feels a bit of a loss to just use the loan relationship to become a follower. I have to find a way to become a private cannon fodder and slave!
This land reclamation environment is more dangerous than imagined!
"Find his family and borrow some money, and then give him more "happiness". It should be arranged. I will think about it later..."
Joseph thought in his heart, the outer city mud legs were appreciated by his inner city children, shouldn't they be grateful?
"Hmm?"
Just at this time, Joseph was slightly stunned and stopped his steps alertly. The latest early warning device he had just set up was triggered, but no effective picture was sent!
Something is coming!
Standing in place, stopping the noise interference caused by his running, Joseph continued to increase his ability to read sounds.
But except for the sound of the wind blowing through the branches, there was no additional sound captured by him.
Joseph raised his shoulder gun, and the mechanical arm switched to Gatling mode again. The other hand pulled out another high-energy incendiary bomb. A solemn look appeared on the skull-like semi-mechanized face, and he kept scanning everywhere with the mechanical eyes.
But the next moment, a bullet hit his forehead at a tricky angle!
The violent impact made the bullet seem to be embedded directly into the metal skull.
Before Joseph recovered from the huge impact, a tearing feeling from the soul suddenly appeared!
He had felt this kind of attack!
This was an attack that his father reminded him of some special attack methods and let him try to adapt in advance!
It was an attack from the spiritual side!
Mental power attached to the bullet?
What the hell? !
But his thoughts were immediately shattered by the second bullet, followed by the third! The fourth!
The continuous tearing interrupted all his thoughts and interrupted all thoughts!
Da Da Da~
Continuous bursts of shooting came from the treetops in the distance.
The intense pain made Joseph constantly twist and struggle to dodge, but it was meaningless. The bullet seemed to have eyes and locked firmly in his head!
The alloy exoskeleton, specially thickened for the fatal zone, the defense that even the aliens had never penetrated, was constantly bursting with sparks of bullet collisions.
The continuous mental shock in his brain made it impossible for Joseph to launch an effective counterattack. He could only fire his shoulder gun like crazy and aimlessly.
He kept breaking the branches around him, leaving terrible holes on the giant trees, and even knocked down two giant trees!
The deformed Gatling gun in his hand swept around like a whip, causing debris to fly around.
The high-energy incendiary bomb that had not yet been fired also fell to the ground helplessly.
He even opened his mouth suddenly the next moment, revealing a black muzzle from his mouth, and began to spray continuously.
He looked crazy!
Waves of electronic external sound gushed out from the "sound" in front of his chest.
"Come out! Beast! Beast!"
"Who is it! Who is it!"
But obviously, no one could answer his question, and Joseph, who was in a cramp in his mind, could only struggle helplessly and furiously.
Then a bullet finally penetrated the last protection, opened his eye socket protection armor, and drilled in fiercely.
Da da da~
After shooting into the sky for a while, Joseph fell straight to the ground.
But even though he fell to the ground, the shooting still didn't stop for a moment. After finishing two magazines, Tao Yu replaced the new ones and started loading bullets into the empty magazines.
"No wonder mechanical transformation and alien transformation are so popular. They have unique advantages in terms of defense."
Tao Yu looked at Joseph, whose head had been smashed, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Among the many world fragments in the abyss, the weak defeating the strong and killing at first sight are quite common situations.
It's not strange for a top powerhouse to be shot in the head and then feel resentful.
Many of the stories he heard and the rumors his parents heard had this record.
Obviously, the modification of Joseph's head may have been specifically to prevent others from sneak attacks with firearms. The armor was added, and it took more than a dozen rounds of bullets to lose the ability to resist.
Tao Yu felt uneasy about the subsequent finishing blow.
In addition to the stronger physique brought by the alien body, the previous Wei Nuo also had full-body armor. They should be so armed for the sake of fault tolerance.
The thing to guard against is rollover.
"This bastard is also an old man. He even has a gun in his mouth. If it weren't for a sneak attack, even if he is knocked to the ground, as long as he is given a chance, he may be overturned."
Tao Yu felt a little sad when she thought about the last shot fired randomly from the other party's mouth.
This is something that has never been exposed when dealing with aliens.
In fact, he had considered destroying the opponent before, and then forcing the opponent to change his will power, but now that he thought about it, he luckily didn't take any action.
That's right, it's not stupid. If you transfer it to yourself, then it will be of no value at all.
Looking at Joseph's body, Tao Yu was silent for a moment, and finally did not choose to touch the body anymore.
After being besieged and forced by aliens, this guy should have almost revealed his trump card.
After all, it is a mechanical modification, if anything else is installed, we will die together...
Boom~
A violent explosion shot up into the sky, and even though they were some distance away, Tao Yu could feel the strong wind and heat wave blowing from the front!
Looking at the explosive fireball that exceeded the Weino high-explosive grenade, Tao Yu couldn't help but feel guilty.
You are really special! ?
Looking back at the deep rain forest, Tao Yu no longer hesitated. After stuffing a few more fat, white and tender insects into his mouth, he jumped down from the treetops, and then quickly moved towards the east. go.
The hidden dangers have been solved, and the harvest has been good. Now we can successfully save our lives and survive!
At present, the life-saving ability is almost enough. For the remaining willing power, we can consider extending the use cycle according to the remaining time to increase the cost-effectiveness of the willing power.
Taking advantage of the abundance of meat in the rainforest, try to use up your willpower before going back...
…
"...Zizi~, that kind of willing creature should have a parasitic ability. The young body is very weak and is responsible for parasitic host. It has different abilities depending on the host. We found that the radio station we received was a crashed spacecraft. , but most of the useful things have been destroyed, which is a pity.
"There was an artificial man who had been trying to trick us into feeding that kind of wishing creature, and he was killed by us. However, there is a toxin called black water nearby. If you are not careful, it may be dangerous to you. It is not suitable as a new gathering place. Site selection..."
On the treetop, Tao Yu held up his old antique receiver again, receiving the new day's information.
It turned out that the Floating City siblings had almost cleared the area on the grassland next door.
Joseph and Weinuo, the two inner city boys, showed all kinds of powerful trump cards at the critical moment of life and death, which made Tao Yu feel a little nervous just thinking about it now.
If the previous sneak attack on Joseph had not incorporated mental attacks, the opponent might have been locked in position from a distance and launched a precise long-range counterattack.
Wei Nuo's madness is also quite exciting.
It doesn't seem strange that the siblings in the floating city pushed the fragment next door.
"...Now the mission objectives have been updated. With the inner city children as the core, they have begun to spread out to explore, select sites for gathering places, and find new world fragments. There are still three days left before the first batch of pioneers return. The first batch of The main task of all the pioneers these days is to stay together as a team and survive.
"After you return to Xingyao City, you will make arrangements based on your specific situation. As long as you return alive, you will have completed the mission. As long as you have combat talents or auxiliary talents that we recognize, you will be rewarded with a guaranteed reward of 1,000 units of Willpower..."
Obviously, because of the presence of the black water toxin that can give birth to aliens, the grassland area is indeed not suitable as a gathering place.
If the forest side works harder to develop and spend some time, it has this potential, but obviously the siblings still want to find a better area.
It doesn't matter if it is a temporary gathering place, but if you want to open it as a new gathering place for a long time, there are probably many factors to consider.
Survival environment, survival resources, general situation of nearby world fragments, safety and danger, etc.
Although the guy from the Floating City sometimes spoke a bit bluntly, Tao Yu had to admit that for the ordinary people who entered this time, they were indeed lucky to have two thighs from the Floating City.
Only they can mobilize enough resources to create a relatively stable area.
Just the fact that combat talents and approved auxiliary talents will be rewarded with at least 1,000 units of Willpower after returning is considered very generous.
This is probably a benefit that only space-time anomalies encounter when opening up wasteland, and it is enough for ordinary families in outer cities to have a party.
There is still a big difference in style between the floating city siblings and the two inner city pioneers.
In other words, for the people in the Floating City, the dirt legs in the outer city are not worth mentioning...
Tao Yu crossed the rain forest alone for a few days, and he could feel the fatigue of being alone.
In terms of strength, he could defeat the alien and the giant python. Even if it was the giant python alien, if he had the chance to meet it, he could overdraw his body and fight it.
His sneak attack ability could create various possibilities.
But...
The oppressive feeling of having to open one eye when resting still made Tao Yu nervous.
He was afraid that he would see the cherry mouth of the alien when he opened his eyes.
Most of the time, vigilance and precautions were actually useless, and they were all useless, but he had to stay vigilant at all times.
Whether it was the giant python or the alien, Tao Yu had created different versions of [Lurking].
This shows that they are also very good at sneak attacks.
With Tao Yu's current strength, he would be dead even if he was successfully sneak attacked in the opposite direction.
That is, relying on the power of [Bullet Time], he can detect it in advance while staying vigilant.
And now he has [Lurking·Modified]. If he can detect danger in advance, his ability to save his life is still very strong, but the premise is that he needs to be vigilant enough!
"It's still because of the lack of endurance and defense. If I can stay in the shadows all the time, or if my defense is enough to survive the next sneak attack, I won't be so nervous..."
Tao Yu sighed in his heart, thinking of Joseph's head that was shot more than a dozen times, and Wino's full body armor.
After listening to the broadcast, Tao Yu climbed down from the tree and cut a piece of meat from the roasted wild boar on the fire with a knife.
Although there is still some salt on the body, it is really unpalatable with only salt and no fishy smell...
