Chapter 53 Suppression date
Even so, 'Vulture' Snow did not relax his guard. The moment he decided to attack in advance, 3S's powerful mental power was immediately unleashed!
Sure enough! That tiny figure was hiding in the armor barrier and was still alive!
In the heat wave that caused the air to distort, the anti-surveillance device that had been ambushed in the sand was restarted! The scan produced an incredible real-time thermal image, faithfully synchronized in Snow's brain.
He was so surprised that his breath was choked!
Is that... 3S's anti-insect armor?
*
For Su Xi, she was awakened by the crisis prediction, and she sank into a mysterious state again amid the continuous sharp screams in her brain.
The entire change took no more than three seconds to occur. During these three seconds, all reactions were slowed down hundreds of times in her mental perspective.
The high temperature that was enough to melt metal, carrying the energy of death, slowly and swaggered towards her. In the smoke and dust, it was wrapped in the red flames and high temperature, like a pure and hot lily of death, slowly blooming.
Xiguang, who was only an arm's length away from him, was gradually leaving the 'exploration mode', and the energy shield belonging to the AI mecha was being deployed at the fastest speed.
But, it was too late.
The dead flowers were closer to her nose.
Su Xi blinked with great effort. Right now, the strength of her □□ could not keep up with the speed of her mental power. In the feeling that time seemed to solidify into gel, it was extremely difficult for her to move her fingers.
In this state, the dormant black insect armor on the right hand suddenly seemed to be activated and started excitedly!
The flames had already tentatively licked the left side of her cheek, and a few strands of brown hair were slowly burning black.
At this time, she had not yet mastered the ability to materialize her mental power into a shield.
On the left side, Xiguang's mecha's protective energy has been deployed into a semicircular arc shield, firmly protecting the left rear in her slow "horizon", but the threat of death directly facing the right front and the front is too late no matter what...
At this moment, the black insect armor, which was excitedly activated, broke away from the right wrist and moved around Su Xi's body at an incredible speed...
Su Xi's mind sighed slightly in her brain and communicated with the insect, "I don't mind your greed! Let me see your ability!"
As if it had received permission from its owner, the dark substance suddenly unscientifically increased in size to several hundred times its original mass!
The crude and simple insect shield appears again!
If it weren't for the differences in appearance between the previous times it was used in the wormhole, a closer look would reveal that it was still just as crude and simple, with only tiny specks of golden sand faintly visible in the dark material...
That is the substance that came from the materialization of Su Xi's spiritual essence.
Under the imminent threat of death, the dark insect shield quickly spread into a sphere. This extremely unscientific speed of matter was exerted under Su Xi's mind, but it was faster than the speed of the "light" of the Xiguang energy shield!
Instantly! Even Xiguang's mini mecha form was wrapped in it!
The round black insect shield resisted the high temperature aftermath of the "death ray" head-on! The dark spherical surface trembled and squirmed excitedly like a living thing!
The originally weak devouring ability suddenly increased rapidly! With a hunger far greater than when it bound the wild horned lizard, it desperately and greedily absorbed the powerful energy brought by the high temperature!
After the dark insect armor launched a full defense, Su Xi's "perception of time" returned to the normal dimension.
She moved her fingers, and belatedly felt a burning pain on the left side of her cheek, and... the protective suit on her entire left arm was also devoured by the high temperature and turned into black ash, mixed with the skin burned by the high temperature and stuck together.
With her five senses open, she endured the painful reminders from her fragile body when it was damaged, while feeling the mental confrontation and tearing of the 'devouring power' and 'death ray' high temperature energy on the surface of the driving insect armor!
It was a burning sensation in the spirit! It was more unbearable than the pain felt by the most sensitive nerves!
Su Xi thought she didn't have the habit of running away from troubles... However, this double sensory pressure that went beyond any previous human experience...
In this extreme pain and stimulation, her amber eyes gradually became empty. The habit she developed during the first brain-computer synchronization made her instinctively want to detach her senses and physiologically avoid this double stimulation——
However, there seemed to be a very familiar presence, and at her collarbone, a very cool energy gradually emanated... the thin blue energy slowly traveled through her body... reminding her:
'Focus!'
'Keep your senses open!'
"The more you try to avoid it... the more you lose control of the situation..."
Yes! I don't want to escape.
'Embrace your pain...'
Face it head on!
'Fight it... Feel it...'
Yes! If I can't escape, then let me gain strength from the pain!
The emptiness in the amber eyes faded away! A resolute look suddenly exploded in the eyes!
Originally floating on the surface of the dark insect armor, there was a dazzling golden existence flashing in a half-energy and half-matter state!
In the dimension invisible to the naked eye, it evolves into another high-dimensional substance that is more similar to the substance of insect beetles...
If we observe from the perspective of microscopic molecules, we can see that the powerful golden particles and the simple and primitive black particles have completely established a molecular structure link!
Then, from the macroscopic perspective of the vultures' close monitoring -
A dark insect armor flashing with dazzling gold was formed!
Full of energy flowed on the surface of the dark beetle. Although the once rough material was still rough, it had transformed into an extremely low-key and simple temperament that could not be expressed in words!
But all this only lasted for a moment in the monitoring of the Vulture Snow's brain!
The energy that was extremely life-threatening a millisecond ago was completely occupied by the original 'hunting target'! And... the ability to 'swallow' substances that I have never heard of? ?
In just a moment, the positions of 'hunter' and 'hunted' were completely reversed!
The death rays mixed with the pale smoke under the high temperature, gradually formed an energy vortex that was gradually "swallowed" with the newly forged black insect armor as the center!
This energy vortex even grew larger, and the remaining "death rays" and the escaping energy afterwaves were pulled over by the gravity that was similar to a small black hole!
Snow, the initiator of this "hunt", calmed down after being extremely surprised and launched another attack!
He gave a cruel smile and thought, 'Let me see it then!'
'How much more can you eat!'
*
"Sister! You're injured." Xiguang's childish mechanical voice was stuck, showing a trace of confusion.
In its physiological monitoring readings, as Su Xi used more and more mental power, the cell's death-rebirth' cycle peaks also vibrated more violently!
Furthermore, the fluctuations of the red curve of 'death' have exceeded the control of the blue curve of 'rebirth' several times!
The genetic collapse has gotten out of control several times!
"It's okay, Xiguang." Su Xi calmly comforted the portable AI that had been behaving a little strangely recently, while using the crystal medium to synchronize the human and machine.
With her mental power fully activated, she was extremely aware of the condition of every cell in her body.
But as for whether an AI needs to be "comforted"? At the moment, she didn't have the extra attention to think deeply about it.
Under the external perspective of mental monitoring and human-machine synchronization, the enemy who caused this accident continued to hide perfectly!
As for the part scanned by her mental power, in her vast yet detailed mental world, the core of her brain, which had originally mimicked the azure sky, was shaken by the external energy and was gradually falling back into a dark and chaotic state...
Su Xi knew very well that this was a sign of further advancement.
However, if the enemy is hiding, upgrading at this time is an extremely unwise choice.
Su Xi closed her eyes tightly, trying to withdraw the mental power that was controlling the dark insect armor.
'Xiguang, the armor's defense will become extremely unstable in three seconds, the armor's defense barrier will be up first!'
'No more fighting, no more pursuit!'
'Return to the safe house protection circle first!'
"Got it!" Xiguang said solemnly in his cute childish voice, and handed Suxi a button, firmly sticking it on her back, "This is a short-distance transmission button. I miscalculated. I didn't expect that I would need it."
Xiguang, who is on the same frequency as Su Xi, is now a two-meter-five-meter-tall combat-type intelligent mecha. In stark contrast to the cute appearance of the other two models, the streamlined combat mecha is full of unique mechanical beauty!
The silver-white humanoid mechanical body squatted and half-knelt, guarding Su Xi firmly behind her. With its hands, it waved its arms in a vague manner and reactivated the close-fitting energy shield in a hugging posture.
Su Xi didn't have the extra energy to care about the differences between Yu Xiguang and usual. She focused on exploring her intuitive prediction, that vague sense of "voyeurism".
"Sister will leave first." In the human-machine synchronization, Xiguang showed the deduced survival probability.
Not very optimistic!
"No, although there is only a 40% chance of survival, it is enough!" Su Xi replied calmly, "The moment the insect armor completely collapses, we will leave together."
Then she no longer paid attention to the redundant calculations that Xiguang's main core program suddenly started to perform intensely.
It seems that after this crisis is over, Xiguang will need to manually clean up all the bugs. Compared with the previous AI with cold rationality and clear calculations, Xiguang's program has been stuck too much recently.
Or, just clean up the "humanized components" that you have set up in the past.
Vague thoughts flashed through Su Xi's mind, and then she quickly put these confusing thoughts behind her!
She calmed down and focused on the delicate and steady control of the beetle.
After being forged and upgraded again, the dark insect armor not only had a leapfrog improvement in its 'devouring' ability, but also, driven by the half-energy and half-material golden fine sand extracted from the evolution of Su Xi's spiritual power, 50% of its 'devouring' ability was transferred to the return route of Su Xi's own spiritual energy.
Contrary to her previous practice of letting its 'devouring' instinct run wild and only guiding it in detail, she now needs to expend dozens of times more energy to withdraw the excess energy naturally absorbed from the beetle!
Everything is proceeding slowly and with difficulty.
Suddenly, her advanced intuition reminded her that she had missed the enemy with one strike!
Launched the second attack!
*
Her judgment was correct!
The earth suddenly shook! It was shaking violently as if a dragon had awakened!
Click-click-click-click
The dry earth was cracked into huge cracks, and less than ten meters away from Su Xi and the others——
A huge liquid alloy robot broke out of the ground!
The fierce attack caused the yellow sand to dance wildly all over the sky, covering the sky and the earth with the dark brown material dissolved by the previous wave of "death rays"——
A doomsday collapse scene!
And this is only a tiny part of the 'big guy' lurking deep underground!
The liquid alloy mechanical arm re-solidified in mid-air with an unstoppable momentum, and a huge fist took shape!
Then, when this huge palm opened, there was a small quasi-ion cannon muzzle in the palm, looking down from top to bottom, aiming at the position where Su Xi was!
In a few breaths, the red center of the quasi-ion reactor was fully activated! Like a single eye of a devil, it stared at them!
Boom——
Without a doubt! The first wave of ion bombardment is coming!
*
The dark insect armor that had been stripped of its golden sand substance could only barely withstand 10% of the energy, and just as Su Xi had predicted, it instantly collapsed into its most primitive black substance!
Dispersed in the yellow sand, it almost ceased to exist.
Almost at the same moment when the insect armor collapsed, Xiguang activated the energy shield at the maximum output frequency, and the blue artificial energy surged!
Zizizizizi——
The energy collision produced a very sharp scream that was beyond the range of human hearing.
Although it cannot be heard, this high-frequency vibration wave is an extremely fatal mental attack to Su Xi, a psychic who is on the verge of advancing to an 'unstable' state!
Being under the energy shield of the Xiguang mecha form, he had just endured the mental shock of the collapse of the dark insect armor, and before he had time to catch his breath, he was hit by this wave of sound wave attacks.
Su Xi bit her lips tightly. Blood had already seeped out of her eyes, ears, mouth and nose. From the physiological changes that Xiguang was constantly monitoring, the condition of internal bleeding was even more grim.
"There is a first aid kit in the safe house, sister, go back first." Xiguang's voice was as innocent and cute as always, but in his current state, it revealed a kind of mechanical flatness that was difficult to describe.
With man and machine in sync, Su Xi understood Xiguang's plan almost instantly without any words.
"Xiguang... don't!" She trembled and wanted to grab any part of the humanoid mecha behind her to stop it!
It had clearly deduced that once she was sent away, the next step of suicide counterattack could only temporarily save her.
Under the threat of a quasi-ion cannon of this strength, even an AI in the form of a mini mecha would be bombed into pieces!
However, ever since Su Xi was lured off the suspended motorboat, the series of attacks were quite clean and efficient!
Like a ruthless and skilled hunter, he won't give his prey even a chance to breathe!
*
Su Xi was oppressed by this series of rapid changes and was unable to breathe. To her, the physical pain was secondary and was not worth mentioning in the face of the threat of life and death!
But this feeling of being severely suppressed throughout the whole process made her gradually build up an inexplicable anger in her heart!
At this time, Xiguang unilaterally cut off the synchronization with her machine! Suxi will not be the first to know any of Xiguang's actions in the future, nor will she... endure the painful impact of forcibly cutting off the synchronization with her brain when the machine is destroyed.
"Take care, sister!" Although the head of the humanoid mecha has anthropomorphic facial features on its body that is full of mechanical beauty, its expression is as expressionless as a plaster model.
This artificial part with no expression, at this last moment, gently turned its head and glanced at her.
The childish voice that the humanized components had deliberately simulated according to Su Xi's preferences was removed, and the original sound of the mechanical tablet once again uttered two words in an emphasizing manner:
"Take care of yourself."
Then, Su Xi's back, where Xi Guang pressed the 'short-distance teleportation button', gradually felt a burning sensation.
"No! With my A-level management authority, I order you to stop!"
"Xiguang!"
“Stop!”
'Quantum short-distance transmission' has been activated. In Su Xi's eyes, everything in this space, including the humanoid mechanical body curled up to protect her, is fluctuating vaguely!
No matter how hard you try to grasp it, you can't really hold it in your palm.
Su Xi's body is facing genetic collapse, and her consciousness is gradually blurring...
*
Under the full surveillance of the lurking 'hunter', he only knew that this 'hunt' that had wasted his twenty minutes was about to end.
When Xiguang activated the "quantum short-distance transmission", the defense shield, which was originally in a state of confrontation with the opponent's quasi-ion cannon attack energy, had a momentary fluctuation gap in energy output switching. It was this gap that allowed the "hunter" lurking in the dark to keenly sense it!
The vulture's true form, lying in the cocoon-shaped lifeboat, let out a cruel laugh.
Without stopping, he launched a second attack!
The quasi-ion cannon, which is also a top-level configuration among military mechas, increased the attack energy five times that of the first in the second bombardment!
Boom——
When the AI mecha Xiguang attacked for the second time, it did not stabilize the energy in the defense shield, but withdrew to tighten the defense range until Su Xi, who was forcibly sent away, completely disappeared in the curled-up mechanical limbs.
In AI Xiguang's final data stream, its last thought was, "So this is what it feels like to have human limbs?"
It curiously looked back at the image in a secret folder in the memory card, a human being entangled with another human being's body.
"So this is what a hug feels like..."
The final existence of AI Xiguang was frozen in a meaningless sigh.
