Chapter 467 Falling into the Deep Sea (10)

A few hours later.

Han Zu and Xin had been searching inside this huge metal structure for several hours, but strangely, they found nothing. Apart from the different shapes, all the locations inside the giant metal structure looked almost the same, and so far, they had not found any lines or anything like that, just like entering a metal mine.

Not only that, this special metal, in addition to being extremely strong, can also prevent the penetration of energy signals to a certain extent. This means that neither the equipment on the two people nor Han Zu's perception ability can detect this metal structure. If Han Zu did not have a good memory and was able to draw a route map manually, they might even get lost inside this strange giant metal structure.

So far, the two have not found any operable equipment, any room-like location, no one, no wreckage, and nothing except the surrounding metal structures and the dim space.

"Are you sure you don't want me to turn on the searchlight? I don't think there are any other life forms inside this metal structure."

"..."

Xin, who was walking beside Han Zu, had not turned on the searchlight at Han Zu's request. This was not a problem when the two had just entered the giant metal structure, as they could still see things from that position. But starting five minutes ago, the night vision module of the observation system on Xin's engineering armor had almost lost its function. Except for the area within one meter around him, Xin could only see vague outlines in other places. This was not a good thing for the two people in that position.

"what happened to you?"

Not only that, Xin noticed that Han Zu stopped walking, and he did not respond to the previous conversation. This made Xin, who was already feeling psychologically uncomfortable due to the deep-sea environment, immediately aware of Han Zu's abnormality.

"It's okay, but we could really use a break right here."

Although Han Zu's tone was calm and seemed no different from usual, the almost silent environment made Xin aware of some different details. When Han Zu spoke, he lacked his usual carefree attitude of not taking anything to heart. Xin quietly observed Han Zu's expression. It looked normal, but the slightly twitching corners of his eyes showed that his expression just now should not be what it is now.

"If you noticed anything, I hope you would tell me directly. In such a completely unfamiliar environment, playing the hero and playing riddles is not a good choice."

"I..."

In response to Xin's direct questioning, Han Zu seemed to want to say something, but for some unknown reason, he swallowed his words and remained silent.

"Well, if you still intend to hide any secrets under this circumstance, then I will have to refuse to communicate with you anymore. Of course, I will not continue to follow you to explore other locations inside this giant metal structure. If you want to keep me here, it's up to you."

"No."

"Not what?"

Xin noticed that Han Zu's brows were furrowed, and his attention seemed to be completely off the conversation between the two. Although Xin didn't like Han Zu's behavior of speaking halfway, she seemed to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with Han Zu's current state.

"What the hell happened?!"

This time, even though Xin raised her voice, Han Zu completely ignored her. His expression became even more solemn. He had been sitting there to rest, but suddenly stood up and looked around vigilantly.

"Draw your weapons."

Although Han Zu's condition was very puzzling to Xin, when he told him to prepare for battle, Xin reacted immediately. He must have discovered something.

Ten minutes later.

Nothing happened around the two of them. Due to the long period of tension, Xin's body temperature rose a lot. The air-conditioning module inside the engineering armor turned on automatically, making some slight noises.

“Turn it off!”

The sudden noise seemed to disgust Han Zu. He asked Xin to immediately turn off the module that made the noise, and his tone was very stiff.

"So you can't just..."

"Quiet!"

Xin was forced to shut up by Han Zu's shout. Although she was dissatisfied, she dared not speak again. At this moment, Han Zu suddenly used his biological force field to pull Xin's armor and threw her out. A faint green light passed through the position where they had just stood. If Xin had not reacted in time, her armor would have been hit.

"What is this thing!" Xin screamed, holding the weapon tightly in his hand. According to the analysis of the detection module, the power of the light just now was enough to directly split himself and the engineering armor in two.

"I said SHUT UP!!!"

Han Zu's mood was unusually irritable, and he rudely rebuked Xin's exclamation. As soon as he finished speaking, several more dark green lights shot from different directions. This time, the two were prepared and immediately used their own means of defense. Han Zu output all his energy to the defense capability, and Xin also prioritized all the power of the armor to the propulsion system.

"Zi~~"

The not-so-loud buzz of energy reached their ears only after the light passed near them. The light, which seemed not even as thick as a finger, splashed sparks on the ridiculously solid metal structure. The energy concentration and attack power detected by the engineering armor and equipment were frightening. Xin looked at this dangerous scene, and the slight dissatisfaction in her heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by tension and fear. She clenched the weapon in her hand and used the scanning module and detection module to try to quickly find the source of the attack, but because it was too dark around her, she could not see anything except the surrounding metal structure.

“There’s a change in mapping the terrain.”

At this moment, six metal blocks that did not exist originally suddenly appeared on the topographic map manually drawn by Han Zu. The direction of these metal blocks happened to be in the direction where the faint green light appeared. Han Zu immediately thought of the possible relationship between them and the light, and immediately rushed to their location.

Xin immediately noticed Han Zu's rush to the location of the metal blocks that suddenly appeared. She did not dare to neglect and followed closely behind. When Han Zu approached the metal blocks and saw their location with her own eyes, the metal blocks suddenly moved and reorganized quickly like liquid, forming human-like outlines. Their body surfaces flashed with a faint green light, the same color as the light emitted before.

When Han Zu discovered the movements of these metal blocks, he immediately used high-energy rays to attack. However, these metal humanoids moved quickly, not only dodging Han Zu's attack in an instant, but also circling to the sides of him and Xin at a speed that Han Zu could hardly accurately observe. They once again emitted a dark green light, pointing directly at the heads of the two.

Han Zu and Xin dodged with all their strength. Xin was farther away from the center, so she successfully avoided the attack of the light. She used the propulsion device to move behind a raised metal structure, using its position as a cover to avoid the subsequent pursuit of the light. Han Zu wanted to deal with the opponent as soon as possible, so he was very close to those metal figures, which made him unable to dodge in time and was directly penetrated by several rays. Fortunately, these rays were very thin and only caused minor scratches to him. However, these rays that could completely ignore his own defenses made Han Zu feel like he was facing a great enemy. He became serious, said nothing, and looked for opportunities.

At this time, Xin, who had already found a shelter, discovered a strange phenomenon. After he left the vicinity of the metal figures, the other side did not launch a second round of attack on him after a round of attack, as if they had given up on this target. Xin also noticed a situation, that is, these metal figures obviously wanted to surround Han Zu, but they gave up blocking Han Zu's front and back, the two most important positions, and all stood on his side.

Before he could tell Han Zu this, the metal figures attacked again, also with several beams of light, but this time Han Zu already knew their power. Although these beams were extremely powerful and penetrating, and he was completely unable to defend himself, they seemed to be unable to be used continuously, and they did not have enough stopping power for him. So this time, Han Zu directly rushed towards the metal figure closest to him, without any hesitation, and punched it with all his strength. Perhaps because he did not expect Han Zu's recklessness, the metal figure failed to dodge Han Zu's attack and was hit hard by Han Zu's full force.

"Boing~~~"

The power of this punch was no joke. It was a force that could smash a mining card. However, the effect on the metal figure was only to change the opponent's shape. The body of the metal figure that was hit was like melted rubber, and was blasted into a thin film. A strange sound was emitted, like the sound of a wooden hammer hitting a metal jar.

However, the current situation does not mean that Han Zu's attack is completely useless. The other metal humanoids quickly launched a second attack, but the metal humanoid that was hit did not move at all. It stopped for a short time. However, just as Han Zu was about to use high-energy rays for additional attacks, the other metal humanoids fired rays again. The end point of these rays intersected and directly intercepted Han Zu's high-energy rays. Although the power of the rays was not as great as that of the high-energy rays and failed to completely block the high-energy rays, the intersection of the rays deflected the direction of the high-energy rays, causing them to hit the metal structure wall next to it.

Han Zu frowned, realizing that there seemed to be some kind of cooperative fighting mechanism between these metal figures. He quickly adjusted his strategy, dodging the light while looking for opportunities to attack them after approaching them. Xin, who was isolated from the target, observed the situation behind the bunker. This level of battle was not something she could handle in her engineering armor. She needed to help Han Zu and try to find the possible weaknesses of these metal figures. This was not easy. Before they fired the light or Han Zu found an opportunity to attack them at close range, the speed of these metal figures was so fast that they were blurry and he could not observe them carefully.

However, Xin did not hide aside and win without doing anything. Even though opportunities were hard to find and the timing was uncertain, Xin still found possible opportunities in the battle between Han Zu and those metal humanoids. By overclocking the engineering armor scanning device, she successfully discovered that there were some parts at the connection between the limbs and torso of those metal humanoids that would occasionally emit light.

She quickly informed Han Zu through the communicator, and Han Zu made a prompt decision, found the right opportunity, and rushed to a metal figure that was about to change its position. Taking advantage of the slight gap after it finished emitting light, Han Zu aimed at one of the glowing positions on the metal figure and used high-energy rays to accurately hit it. The body of the metal figure connected to the hit position was instantly twisted and deformed, and it became useless.

"it works!"

The target attack was effective. Seeing this, Han Zu took advantage of the situation and launched another attack on the damaged metal figure. The other metal figures immediately surrounded him and tried to stop him. But a sheep in the tiger's mouth has no reason to survive.

“Bang bang bang~~!!!”

Han Zu clapped his hands, and the particle chains on his arms spread outward rapidly. The metal figures that were chained by the particle chains could only quickly dodge and avoid the attack. Han Zu also took advantage of the gaps when they were avoiding his attacks and successfully arrived in front of the damaged metal figure. He grabbed its body with both hands and released the particle chains again at zero distance. The intense high temperature generated by the high-concentration energy completely destroyed the metal figure this time, causing it to completely collapse and melt into molten iron. Han Zu tried to use his energy conversion ability to absorb the molten iron, but it was useless. However, the rapidly dissipated energy meant that the metal figure was indeed killed.

These metal figures didn't seem to be simple sentinels. They seemed to have the ability to think for themselves. After the first metal figure was killed, the remaining metal figures seemed to be aware of the danger. Their movements became more cautious and their cooperation with each other became closer. They no longer attacked easily, but slowly narrowed the encirclement of Han Zu. Han Zu stood there, observing their movements with sharp eyes, his brain working rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, the metal figures launched an attack at the same time, and several dark green rays shot towards Han Zu from different directions. Han Zu withstood most of the rays and used his own high-energy rays to push back a ray from the front. The energy contained in the rays was not as strong as Han Zu's high-energy rays, so it was temporarily weak. In order to avoid being hit by the rays, the metal figure fighting against Han Zu maintained a continuous output of rays.

Han Zu seized this opportunity and rushed towards the paused metal figure like an arrow. Just as he was about to approach the target, two of the metal figures quickly surrounded him and merged with him. After the fusion, the metal figures were enhanced in all aspects, and the output of light finally reached the power of high-energy rays. The two-color light beams confronted each other and burned each other. The temperature at the center of the light bombardment rose sharply, creating a dazzling ball of light.

The light and the rays collided with each other, with enough stopping power to stop Han Zu. At this moment, the remaining two metal humanoids also merged successfully, and a piece of one of their bodies instantly transformed into a sharp blade, which cut off one of Han Zu's legs with just one swing. Because he lost support and fell sideways, Han Zu's high-energy rays shifted the angle, and the rays that had lost their resistance passed by Han Zu and cut off half of Han Zu's face, but the opponent did not seem to expect that Han Zu could still fly, so Han Zu, who lost his support, used his flying ability to drift in a circle on the ground and went around the back of the three-in-one metal humanoid. The high-energy rays were not interrupted during this process, and the high-energy rays with increased energy concentration successfully split the three-in-one metal humanoid into two.

However, this level of damage did not seem to be fatal to either side. While Han Zu quickly repaired the damage, the remaining five metal figures also completed the final fusion and became one individual. This time it did not try to occupy the side position, but stood directly opposite Han Zu. The winner was decided now.

After moving his body a few times, Han Zu stared at the metal fusion body opposite him, preparing for the opponent's next move, and the opponent seemed to be the same, looking for the best time to launch an attack. After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, both sides finally launched an attack at the same time.
