Chapter 72 Picking up the big leak
Chapter 72 Picking up the big leak
It’s no wonder Li Yu thought so. After all, he had encountered a series of unexpected disasters within a few days.
The point is that before he arrived, everything was peaceful for many years.
Before Li Yu could figure it out, two fireballs crashed to the ground.
There were two more loud explosions, but the difference was that before the smuggling airship exploded, seven or eight figures broke away in mid-air.
Among them were the three half-mechanical evil cultivators and five stowaways including Li Yu.
They used various means to avoid being destroyed together with the stowaway airship.
Before Li Yu could even take any elixir, Hongdou, who had regained his human form, picked him up, jumped out, and landed on the ground very steadily.
Not far in front of him was the messy accident scene.
Along with the sound of cold fog being torn apart, the rest of the people also landed on the ground and scattered in different directions around the two mechanical airships and the building ship.
At this moment, no one would pay attention to Li Yu and the mechanical maid behind him.
All the "survivors" were staring at the much larger mechanical ship. It was badly damaged, but unique emblem marks could be seen everywhere. They were scarlet in color and the pattern looked like some kind of nest.
Because of the crash, the cabin opened, revealing a large number of treasures and rare objects inside.
No matter whether it is a war puppet that looks extremely delicate, the limbs of some mechanical giant, or the flesh and blood of some extraordinary creatures...even if you are not a cultivator, you can see how rare and precious they are.
Afterwards, the eight people looked at the strange corpses in the ship.
Almost every one of them, like the three who were in charge of the smuggling, had undergone flesh-and-blood mechanical transformation and wore some kind of uniform with the same scarlet nest-like pattern on it.
However, they all seemed to be dead. In addition to being almost all dismembered, they also suffered from some kind of "weird contamination".
Not only was the mechanical prosthesis covered in rust, but the rest of the flesh and blood was also covered in strange patches that looked like red rust, and these patches were even slowly spreading.
"A transport ship from the Southern Overlord's Hallownest?"
"It was attacked in the forbidden area, crashed unexpectedly, and collided with the smuggling boat by sheer coincidence?"
Li Yu and the five survivors were still speculating based on the accident at the scene.
The three half-mechanical evil cultivators who were obviously related to the Holy Nest, at this moment, no one knew what they were thinking of, and their faces became extremely ugly.
And the movement in the next moment was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The ship was clearly falling apart, but suddenly a ball of red light burst out from the cockpit, sweeping in everyone present.
The shrill whistle and the warning mechanical sound rang out:
"Drip drip!"
"Warning alert, transport ship No. 115 crashed unexpectedly, intruders found on site."
"Trigger the relevant clauses and start activating and burning the blood cores in all the guards to wipe out all invaders."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
When these sounds were heard, all the corpses in the ship trembled, and then bursts of scarlet flames appeared, accompanied by a burnt smell like excessive burning of engine oil.
All the corpses opened their eyes at the same time.
No matter whether it is a mechanical prosthetic eye or an original flesh and blood eyeball, there is no emotion in it, only a kind of indifference towards all life.
Following the countdown, they seemed to have collectively transformed into "mechanical zombies", wriggling and crawling, and quickly reassembling their broken limbs.
This scene happened!
The three half-mechanical evil cultivators could no longer bear it. After looking at each other, they immediately rushed into the cabin and began to plunder those treasures and rare items.
At the same time, the evil mechanical cultivator who was the leader of the three took out some kind of incense and lit it directly in the cabin.
After they finished, in order to drag Li Yu and the other four down to share the pressure, the three of them opened their mouths and shouted quickly:
"Don't hesitate, take the treasure, and then run for your lives."
"This ship is a smuggling ship under the command of Hallownest. Judging from these mechanical wonders, Hallownest is clearly in deep collusion with the Tiangong Cult."
"These guys who are in charge of escorting are not normal practitioners, but Holy Blood Guards who have been implanted with various mechanical programs."
"When they were alive, they were intelligent and able to negotiate, and their combat power was equivalent to that of a Sequence 7 combat puppet."
"Now it is burning its blood core after death, squeezing out the last bit of strength. It can't even be repaired after it is used up. It can only execute the orders given by the damn intelligent computer. Its combat power cannot be compared with when it was alive, but it is just as troublesome. It can kill ordinary Sequence 8, and its body is indestructible. If it is entangled by them, when the people of Hallownest receive the news and rush over, it will be dead for sure."
"We have some connection with Holy Nest, but we are all small ants on the outer layer. We accidentally glimpsed this level of secrets. Even if we can really discuss it, we can't escape the fate of being silenced."
"What the hell is going on? I haven't had any accidents in all these years, but how come I ran into such a fatal disaster today..."
"Hurry, take everything you can. What I just lit was the Savage Incense, which can attract some of the savages in the tundra and let them snatch some rare treasures to help us share the pressure."
Before the three of them spoke.
The other four survivors actually followed suit and started grabbing subconsciously.
They are all shameless evil cultivators. Who would miss such a good opportunity?
After the three people said this, Li Yu also started cursing in his heart, but he had no other choice. The matter was done and the accident had already happened.
He was at the scene and had been scanned by the intelligent computer as an intruder.
What else could he do?
Either turn around and run away empty-handed now,
Or join the crowd in looting and then run for your life.
When the countdown is over, those large numbers of so-called Holy Blood Guards will transform into mechanical zombies and start hunting them down.
Li Yu subconsciously chose the first one!
After all, the sooner you can escape, the more hope you have of survival.
But in a flash, he stared at the various exquisite mechanical wonders that filled the entire cabin.
An idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately turned to his maid and ordered: "Go grab it!"
"As long as you have the authority to scan it, it will be the most precious and convenient item to carry. I will only give you three breaths, and then we will run away immediately."
"Good host!"
Hongdou, as well-behaved as ever.
As Li Yu finished speaking, she had already flashed into the cabin.
The gem between the eyebrows emitted a dazzling red light, and the Blink family scanned all the rare objects and treasures.
Then, before anyone else, including the three evil mechanical cultivators, could react.
She broke directly into the deepest part, pushed aside all the precious combat dolls, the flesh and blood of extraordinary creatures and other treasures, and pulled out a mechanical box that looked extremely delicate and complicated from somewhere.
The next moment, he turned back to Li Yu's side.
Take two breaths.
"go!"
"Let's escape."
Li Yu didn't even look at the other people, nor did he glance at the still huge number of rare treasures.
Together with his own mechanical maid, he fled into the depths of the strange tundra as if in a panic.
He acted the fastest, and although he was the last one to arrive, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, he only took a few things, and the direction he was running for was immediately ridiculed by the others:
"That idiot, it's better for him to die in the hands of these mechanical zombies than to escape into the tundra."
"What a fool indeed!"
"You were so anxious to escape that you didn't even remember that you still have a [Psychic Copper Core] in your body?"
"Three of you, if you don't help us get it out now, then why don't we all die here together?"
The three mechanical evil cultivators had also selected the rare objects and treasures they wanted to escape with.
Before his body moved, he was surrounded by the other four people tacitly.
As soon as those words were uttered, the three people's little trick was broken.
That's right!
The three of them deliberately did not mention the matter of the psychic copper core in order to keep something in reserve.
It would be fine if these illegal immigrants died afterwards, but if they managed to survive, they could still track them down and kill them, and then pick up their bodies afterwards.
The plan was very good. He not only let them share the burden of the pursuit, but also made them the carriers of his treasure.
Unfortunately, the four surviving evil cultivators were all senior Sequence Eight cultivators, cunning and experienced, and their simple and crude conspiracy was exposed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the countdown was about to reach zero, a confrontation could not be formed at all.
The three of them looked at each other and had to give up their original plan. They quickly took the copper cores out of the four people's bodies.
At this time, more than a dozen "mechanical zombies" with blood flames burning all over their bodies, composed of twisted flesh and blood and terrifying machines, have been fully assembled, and it seems that they have already been assigned targets by the intelligent computer.
Red lights locked onto the intruders one by one.
One person was assigned at least two mechanical zombies.
But before these blood-flame zombies could take action, suddenly, a group of black-haired savages rushed out from the cold fog and broke into the cabin following the scent.
This sudden change immediately disrupted the zombies' pursuit.
The seven men chuckled, turned around and fled towards Wanfu City.
Before the three evil mechanical cultivators set off, they glanced at the direction where Li Yu had fled and could not help but send out a blessing:
"I hope that kid survives!"
"This way, we can find him and kill him later, and we can recover some of our losses."
……
A strange frozen plain, surrounded by cold fog.
The two figures who were fleeing slowed down. On the way, Hongdou's mechanical voice uttered a series of commands from Li Yu:
"All permission modules are being activated, and the [Psychic Copper Core] is being destroyed... Destroyed!"
"Scanning the unexpected mechanical treasure chest... Beep beep... Four psychic trackers detected... Destroy them?"
"Destroyed!"
As Hongdou finished speaking, four crackling sounds of electricity came from the mechanical box in her hand.
This scene did not seem to be beyond Li Yu's expectations.
The reason why he didn't flee with the seven people was because he guessed, "Since even those half-mechanical evil cultivators have tracking artifacts, how could the Holy Nest's smuggling ship, which is much higher than them, not have any?"
Those people were blinded by greed and ignored such a fatal point.
Of course, it is also because they don’t have a high-authority Linglong maid like Hongdou.
After eliminating all the troubles, Li Yu was about to turn around and escape back to Wanfu City with Hongdou.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from behind. In the cold fog and on the frozen ground, there were dozens of "savages" covered in black hair and looking like mandrills. They were holding some ferocious-looking mechanical wonders such as chainsaw swords and power armor in their hands, and they were running towards them, howling.
Behind them, there are two mechanical zombies chasing after them.
ps: There will be updates in the evening.
