But she didn't stop! All she could see was the core cable matrix, beating like a heart! The distance was rapidly shortening! Fifty meters! Thirty meters!
However, more liquid metal tentacles extended from the container! Like a giant cage filled with the breath of death, it closed in on her! At the same time, an even more concentrated and icy mental shock, like an invisible hammer, slammed into her consciousness!
"Ugh!" Wen Shifei staggered suddenly. The severe headache made her eyes go black, and her movements inevitably became slightly deformed!
It was this slight deformation that made it impossible for her to completely avoid it!
laugh!
A liquid metal tentacle lurking behind him stabbed out silently like the most insidious venomous snake! The scarlet energy beam condensed at the tip was like a red-hot steel needle, instantly piercing Wen Shifei's right calf!
"Ah!" She cried out in pain from the intense burning pain and penetrating wound. She instantly lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground! Blood gushed out from the penetrating wound on her leg!
Deadly scarlet tentacles rose up from all directions again, like sharks smelling blood! This time, she had no way to avoid them!
At this critical moment of death——
A figure, like a cannonball, with an unstoppable and brutal momentum, suddenly knocked away the scarlet tentacle that was piercing Wen Shifei's head from the side!
It’s Lu Cheneng!
No, to be precise, it is the body of "Lu Cheneng"!
His face remained expressionless, his left eye as cold as ever. But just as Wen Shifei was knocked down, on the brink of death, the implant on the back of his neck, gleaming with a faint blue light, suddenly erupted with an extremely unstable, chaotic arc of electricity! It was as if the chip's control program had been subjected to some intense internal interference at that moment!
It was this momentary interference that caused the controlled body to perform an action that completely violated the "Zero" mother body's clearance order - he knocked away the deadly tentacle!
Lu Cheneng's body was tumbled by the immense force, but he immediately stood up with inhuman agility, standing between the fallen Wen Shifei and the furious tentacles of the mother body! In his hand, he had unknowingly picked up a broken alloy steel beam from the ground, holding it like a giant sword!
His movements were stiff yet swift, brandishing the heavy steel beams, frantically blocking and slashing at the constantly attacking liquid metal tentacles! Every collision erupted with a harsh sound of metal friction and sparks of energy annihilation! He was completely using this flesh and blood body to buy the last bit of time for Wen Shifei!
Wen Shifei lay sprawled on the cold ground, the pain in her right leg burning like a raging fire, and the wound on her left shoulder continued to bleed. She looked at the figure standing in front of her, fighting like a machine, and tears instantly blurred her vision.
It was Lu Chen's will! Even if it was only a trace! At the most critical moment, he was still fighting! Using this body controlled by the enemy, he was protecting her!
"ah--!!!"
Wen Shifei roared like a wounded beast! Her immense grief and rage transformed into a final, transcendental burst of strength! She suddenly propped herself up with her still-moving left arm, dragging her bloodied right leg like a dying reptile, using all her strength to desperately lunge towards the nearby core cable matrix!
Her goal was the largest master control node interface in the center of the matrix, constantly pulsating with dark blue energy! It was the core exchange point for all data in Pandora Labs! It was also... theoretically, the only physical port that could forcibly format the chip in Lu Chen's body! As long as she could access it, as long as she could find the permission...
Her hands, stained with blood and mud, finally touched the cold metal shell of the interface, which felt tingling with a faint electric current!
Just as her finger was about to insert the last universal physical decryption key she carried with her—
"roar--!!!"
An inhuman roar, a mixture of metallic friction and surging viscous liquid, erupted from the depths of the massive liquid metal container! The entire platform space was violently shaking! The "Zero" mother body was completely enraged! It seemed to sense a fatal threat!
The viscous liquid metal within the container surged wildly, boiling like a raging fire! The center suddenly bulged upward! A vague, humanoid figure, composed of flowing liquid metal, rapidly coalesced! It lacked facial features, only two points of crimson light on its head, like burning lava! A wave of destructive energy, far exceeding the previous one, practically condensed into a substance, erupted from the condensing "humanoid"! The air in the entire space seemed to be drained dry, suffocating!
At the same time, Lu Cheneng, who was standing in front of Wen Shifei and struggling against the tentacles, suddenly froze! The implant at the back of his neck erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling blue light! The light instantly suppressed all his movements, even causing the alloy steel beam in his hand to fall! His blue left eye shone brightly, and a stream of cold commands swept over him like a waterfall!
He stiffly turned around, like a puppet being pulled by invisible strings. This time, the weapon in his hand was no longer a steel beam, but a Gauss pistol that had been dropped by a "Scavenger" robot and was still smoking.
The cold muzzle of the gun, with absolute murderous intent, was pointed steadily at the back of Wen Shifei, who had just inserted the cracking key into the interface and was trying to access the system!
In front of him is the "Zero" mother body which is condensing into its final form and emitting earth-shattering energy; behind him is Lu Chenentang who is completely controlled and has the gun pointed at him.
