160 Passive Combat

◎【Passive combat mode is on】◎

Cao Wei has been recovering from his injuries since the last mechanical aquarium incident. He was given a long vacation and has not been on any mission for more than a month.

Cao Wei has been thinking about whether he should retire recently, stop being a demon hunter, and just become a cleaner.

It is late at night, and according to common sense, Cao Wei should be in deep sleep, and in fact he is.

Cao Wei was sleeping when he suddenly heard his employee wristband vibrating.

Usually, this is an emergency, probably because there is a mission looking for him. Cao Wei opened his eyes and was about to take the employee bracelet on the bedside.

Just then, he felt movement at the bedroom door and saw a pair of feet through the crack in the door.

Someone was standing at his door.

When? Why didn't their security system go off?

Cao Wei reached for the gun on the bedside table. Demon hunters always kept weapons within a meter of each other. Cao Wei glanced at the employee's wristband, which contained only one line of text:

Someone is invading, go!

…

A basement.

There were many corpses lying in the corridor. The mountain cat had violently opened a path. The big orange boy was not very strong in fighting, and half of his arm was torn into a bloody mess by the monster.

All the non-intelligent robots controlled by Daju have been completely scrapped.

This basement is located inside an abandoned radiation community, where there are no street lights. The fact that they can find this place means that the other team has a professional dog.

Xu Meng helped Daju walk towards the ground. Bobcat stood in front of them and suddenly stopped.

Dark figures stood on both sides of the deserted street, like a row of crows, they had been waiting for a long time.

Not only that, a tall and slender figure was standing above the damaged street lamp. He was wearing a black top hat and looked like a lousy magician.

A person with super powers.

And there are more than one, there are at least three on this street.

This was a planned attack. They could predict the strength of Bobcat and Xu Meng. It was like a trap was set here, and Bobcat and the other two were the prey.

Xu Meng had already lit up her golden eyes and swung out a black knife. She was not in good condition today and her ability was only half of her usual.

Both exits of the street are blocked, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Shanmao stood in front of Xu Meng and said, "Take her away first."

Before Xu Meng could say anything, Bobcat suddenly felt cold, and a layer of frost formed on his eyelashes and eyebrows.

The entire street could feel the coldness, as if a storm had swept over in an instant.

He is an ice-type mutant.

…

A vicious incident targeting the cleaning center employees was happening in District 103. When Huo Wenxi intervened, it was too late. She sent the list to the subordinates of the Abnormal Events Team and asked them to warn the uninformed employees.

Some people reacted quickly and escaped, while others died before receiving the message.

The situation on Huo Wenxi's side is very grim.

The Huo family's house has now been more than half demolished, and both the front and back gates have been lost.

Before Zhu Ning woke up, Zhuang Lin had persisted alone for fifteen minutes. He had reached his physical limit and was seriously injured in the abdomen. He could only watch a monster break in through the door.

Judging from Huo Wenxi's combat ability, he would surely die if he faced the enemy head-on, and it was too late for Zhuang Lin.

The black monster looked completely different from the alien species. It looked more like a disgusting thing that crawled out of the oil. Its hanging hands had ten-centimeter sharp nails growing on them. It emitted a foul odor, and wherever it went, it felt like sulfuric acid corroded it.

Rotting corpse?

Huo Wenxi told Zhu Ning to prepare to escape, but just as she finished her words, the monster at the door suddenly pounced towards Zhu Ning.

His purpose was very clear, and he didn't even glance at Huo Wenxi next to him.

Zhu Ning felt a bit dazed, his brain was unable to react, he couldn't even move a finger, and his legs were still weak. It should be the sequelae of entering the cloud of consciousness. His brain seemed to be fogged up and it was extremely difficult to move.

bite--

The system prompts: [Passive combat mode is turned on]

This is the latest reward she has received. Once it is determined that her brain is not in a condition for combat, her body will enter a passive combat state, and each use will consume one hundred health points.

Passive skill, it will be automatically activated as long as the health value is sufficient.

After Zhu Ning entered the state, he felt that everything in front of him had changed, as if this was not reality, but the online world, and the monster was just an NPC in the game.

Everything slowed down, which is probably what they call bullet time in movies.

The moment the monster pounced, Zhu Ning immediately controlled the metal in the bathroom and took action. She had previously reported to Huo Wenxi that she was the metal-type mutant that Xuan Qing was looking for. This ability was the most suitable to use at this time, and she was becoming more and more proficient in it.

The metal manipulation was twenty meters, and with her God's perspective, Huo Wenxi's entire family spread out in front of Zhu Ning, and she immediately found all the usable metal objects.

Zhuang Lin suddenly felt that all the metal objects in the house were vibrating slightly. Huo Wenxi never cooked, but there was a set of high-quality kitchen utensils at home. At this time, the neatly arranged knives were controlled by an invisible force.

They were like spiritual pets obeying certain commands, or they were enlightened by something and had their own will, flying out of the knife box in unison.

When the monster just broke open the bathroom door, before he could pounce on Zhu Ning, seven knives stabbed into seven places on his body, two of which pierced his heart and lungs. It seemed that he was not afraid of death enough, and the tips of the knives did not stop immediately after piercing his body, but instead moved quickly inside his body.

Zhu Ning was like a butcher cutting up an ox, or a cold-blooded doctor, manipulating seven knives to dissect the monster into pieces within two seconds.

Blood mixed with strange mucus flowed down, and pieces of meat fell to the ground with crackling sounds, and the edges of the meat were even corroding the floor.

Zhuang Lin had seen people with metal abilities before, but he had never seen one so... weird.

She controlled the force just right, with the degree of control being precise, and she killed the opponent before the flesh and blood of the rotting corpse had time to corrode the knife, and the control range was definitely more than ten meters.

Zhu Ning was acting completely on instinct. She turned on the God's perspective and saw that there were a total of twelve monsters left in the whole house.

Zhuang Lin covered Huo Wenxi's hiding and threw a gun to her. After Zhu Ning got the gun, he immediately fired at a tricky angle behind him.

From Zhuang Lin's perspective, Zhu Ning was very fast. He had seen fast psychics, but he had never seen anyone as fast as Zhu Ning.

It's like she has a computer in her head, or an auxiliary commander.

Zhuang Lin thought Zhu Ning would be confused after coming down from the cloud of consciousness, but he didn't expect her to be more clear-headed than usual.

With only one ability exposed, Zhu Ning was able to activate the killing mode. She could shoot from behind without even looking back.

Within a radius of twenty meters, this place is like her home ground, and no matter where the enemy approaches from, they can be quickly dealt with.

With a puff—

The iron rod in Zhu Ning's hand pierced through the monster's heart, nailing it to the wall. The wound made a crackling sound and emitted white smoke.

The rotten corpse hit the wall and immediately corroded it, and corpses were lying all over the ground.

Zhu Ning's full potential was brought into play to the extreme. In just three minutes, Zhu Ning eliminated twelve enemies.

The rotten corpses on the periphery growled in the corner, but they didn't dare to move forward. Animals have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they encountered a stronger enemy.

Zhu Ning had just gotten out of the bathtub, holding a knife in her hand. She was soaking wet, with water dripping down her chin, making her look very unkind.

Killing intent, Zhuang Lin sensed the murderous intent in Zhu Ning.

At that moment, Zhuang Lin's first reaction was to protect Huo Wenxi behind him. If Zhu Ning wanted to kill Huo Wenxi at this time, he would definitely not be his opponent.

To be honest, he felt that if Zhu Ning went berserk, no one would be able to stop her.

Zhu Ning took a step forward, his bottomless eyes fixed on Zhuang Lin's direction. Zhuang Lin felt as if he was being stared at by a bird of prey.

Zhu Ning walked forward again. Zhuang Lin had already clenched his hands. His special ability was remote control, which allowed him to crush the enemy's head out of thin air. However, he had no coordinated combat ability and could only attack one monster at a time, otherwise he would not be injured.

If Zhu Ning couldn't control himself, Zhuang Lin wanted to try to help Huo Wenxi so that the team leader could escape from the scene.

Zhuang Lin could hear his own heartbeat, as if it was about to burst through his chest.

On the contrary, Huo Wenxi didn't seem to react much. The look in her eyes when she looked at Zhu Ning didn't change. She must have predicted the future.

Suddenly, Zhu Ning and Zhuang Lin narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Someone outside the window turned on the headlights, and the dazzling light shone into the Huo family, which looked like a battlefield, interrupting the tense atmosphere between them.

A flying car stopped at the door and three teams of demon hunters jumped out.

"Team Leader Huo." Someone said to Huo Wenxi.

The demon hunter team that came down quickly occupied the Huo family, and rescue came.

Zhu Ning blinked, and drops of water fell down her eyelashes. Her mind was still unclear, but she clearly felt that something was wrong.

Is this a passive combat talent? It's her first time using it, meaning her body can react automatically even when she's unconscious.

Zhu Ning felt that the person who had just taken action was not like himself. There was only one thing in his mind: killing, and he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Kill everyone. This was the only signal in her mind at the time.

Zhu Ning didn't like her current state. She was being led by the system. She didn't want to become a cold-blooded killing machine.

If things continue to develop, the real world may be no different from the online world for her.

Zhu Ning suppressed her urge to kill, turned off her passive combat talent, closed her eyes, and her mind was extremely confused, as if the tide was surging.

Zhu Ning closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the darkness in his pupils had dissipated, revealing his normal eyes.

Zhu Ning looked directly at Huo Wenxi and said, "There's a church at the western garbage dump. Bao Ruiming's accomplices are there."

She saw in Bao Ruiming's memory that he had given the assassination list at the garbage dump, so it might be in time to stop them if she went there now.

The first thing Zhu Ning did after escaping from danger was to give Huo Wenxi the information she had obtained at the cost of her life.

Zhuang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and for the first time felt extremely grateful that Zhu Ning was not an enemy.

Huo Wenxi raised his eyebrows, seemingly not minding Zhu Ning's previous state at all. "You are truly my best employee."

Zhu Ning was right. She was the only one who could bring news to Huo Wenxi and the only one who could break the situation.

The best staff in Hoven Creek.

…

Abandoned garbage dump west of Area 103.

In the dilapidated church, Bao Ruiming realized that the woman in the red windbreaker and short hair had not left after he left.

She gave a specific list, and their people started taking action within just a few minutes, which was even faster than the cleaning center.

She sat in the church and watched the encirclement from afar, wearing earphones, and new news kept coming in. She was like playing a game, listening to the good news.

It was very successful, and about six people died.

However, they encountered obstacles when going to Huo Wenxi and there was no progress. At that time, Bao Ruiming said that this person was the most suspicious and should be killed as soon as possible.

Inside the church, the statue looks down upon the crowd.

The woman sat beside Bao Ruiming's mechanical body, waiting for him to return safely. Then, she heard a light in her ear. Someone was contacting her, with only a few words: "Bao Ruiming is dead."

She frowned, "What?"

The other party was not sure either, "Someone invaded the consciousness cloud and killed him."

This incident was extremely abnormal. A normal person could not bypass the firewall of Chuangshi Technology. Someone cut off the source of the problem and directly killed Bao Ruiming's brain.

The woman remembered that Bao Ruiming had said before that the invader would be contaminated, but the invader was not contaminated and was not killed by the automatic cloud-based program of the consciousness body.

How to do it?

Can you use data-related skills? Coder?

The woman did not speak for a long time. In the silent church, a mechanical prosthetic shell sat next to her. The white-haired old lady leaned her neck on the chair with her mouth wide open, as if her soul had left her body and was waiting for its return.

Unfortunately, Bao Ruiming’s soul did not return.

Death is almost certain for those who follow their path.

Unfortunately, Bao Ruiming did not see the descent of God nine days later.

The woman pulled out the chip slot at the back of his neck, which contained data related to Bao Ruiming. The mechanical prosthesis completely lost power and fell to the ground with a bang.

She walked out of the church, surrounded by mountains of garbage, and heard a buzzing sound in the distance. Their annihilation plan tonight had failed. She didn't know if Bao Ruiming had leaked the news when he died.

However, a failed assassination can reveal who the real enemy is. Intelligence came that Zhu Ning was safe and sound under Huo Wenxi's protection.

Bao Ruiming cared about her very much before his death. Zhu Ning herself had the most suspicious points. She had been outside the wall and was protected by Huo Wenxi.

Zhu Ning, she read these two words, and her intuition told her that this would be their biggest enemy.

After tonight, they will no longer be able to hide and will be completely exposed to the sight of the cleaning center.

A companion's question came from the headset, "What should we do next?"

The woman gave a crisp order, "Retreat."

She was not afraid that anyone would fall into Huo Wenxi's hands. The puppets they sent out were all brainless, and even if there were special psychics who could read memories, they would not be able to find any useful information.

However, Huo Wenxi was unable to stop this matter. The day at the Mechanical Oceanarium was the best opportunity to stop it. If he missed it, he missed it. Even if there were gods in the opposing camp, he could not reverse it.

This was an invisible confrontation, with the Chu and Han armies facing each other, and they had already made a move.

Bao Ruiming is dead. If the other party really logged into the cloud of consciousness to kill people, he may have known some of the information.

It won't be long before the cleaning center finds out.

It is winter in Area 103 now. The wind brings with it a smell of garbage and rust. She holds Bao Ruiming's chip in her palm.

She looked back at the church. Bao Ruiming wanted to turn this place into another floating sand island. He had a certain aesthetic that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. This church was like a landmark, and more like Bao Ruiming's spiritual beacon.

Now that Bao Ruiming is dead, his spiritual beacon is of no use.

God does not live in a church; God is everywhere.

The woman snapped her fingers, and under her control, the ancient church began to collapse, starting with one brick, followed by a cascade of metal garbage from the nearby garbage mountain.

There was a loud bang.

The ruins of the church have been completely buried by garbage. When new garbage is dumped tomorrow, outsiders will only see a pile of garbage.

The woman didn't even look back, but tightened her windbreaker and walked out of the garbage dump.

Praise Him who is great.
