Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 648 Chapter 645 Half and half

Wrapping oneself in the Thousand Eyes Cloak does protect against Shadowman energy detection, but it does not protect against Shadowman spells cast outside the body. The sensing tentacles cannot be deployed casually for this reason. Its energy intensity is low, but its range is too large. It can go out several kilometers away at once. This must be very conspicuous under the wide-area shadow energy monitoring mechanism.

"We have to get this done first! Otherwise, we won't be able to check on Dr. Senner and the others, and we won't be able to attack the company's industrial park." Zhuang Xuteng suddenly understood Lich Master's "either don't fight or die" battle. theory. This kind of non-fatal trick will be learned and cracked by the enemy, and may become useless soon.

So Zhuang Xuteng tiptoed and crawled closer to the dropped metal pole. He tried to compress the area facing the device as much as possible to reduce the impact on its detection. When the Thousand Eyes Cloak cuts off detection signals, regardless of whether it is a transmitted wave or an echo, whether the detector shows a strong energy signal source or an area with no energy signal at all, it will be equally eye-catching.

He crawled to the metal signal pole, rolled over onto his back, and placed his hands on the two supporting legs of the pole. Dr. Senner taught him how to adjust his mentality, thinking and breathing, so that the shadow energy in his body could contact and learn the nature and fluctuations of the shadows in the surrounding environment.

The shadow energy in the body is inherently stubborn, and insisting on one's own style is their basic attribute, because this important attribute first ensures that everyone's shadow energy will not be controlled and used by others. Shadow energy and mana are collected and stored through meditation and other methods. This process is actually the process of putting its own stamp on the energy. Nowadays, I have to either remove the stigma or completely suppress it. My behavior is completely opposite to my habits. I feel uncomfortable when I try.

In addition, the metal rod detector continued to radiate energy waves outwards, constantly sweeping across Zhuang Xuteng's body. The more finely he controls shadow energy, the more sensitive he becomes to fluctuations. At one point, Zhuang Xuteng felt like he had fallen into the flooded Pei River, being tossed around by the whirlpools and waves, and completely unable to control his body posture. He gradually felt that his body and spirit were being separated. The spirit represented by the shadow energy would leave the harbor of the body with the waves, wandering and sailing...

"This is going to kill me!" Zhuang Xuteng sighed, but at the same time he also had an idea: if he used his zombie physique to treat himself as a dead person, and then cooperated with Dr. Senner's skills, could he first let the outside world follow him? What if energy passes through itself smoothly without any reaction?

Since having a stable "mercenary" job and a good income, Zhuang Xuteng no longer needs to rely on zombie physique to make money, but the skills and methods of being a zombie have not been lost. It does not mean that you can be controlled by someone just by wearing a signal transceiver. Your physical fitness only determines the upper limit. The lower limit requires a series of preparatory actions such as self-hypnosis and relaxation.

Zhuang Xuteng started to try it and immediately felt the changes: the impact of external fluctuations on him became smaller, the dissipation speed of his own shadow mana was reduced, and his acceptance of external shadow energy became higher. He realized that this method was useful and obviously more suitable for his own habits and actual situation, so he gradually adjusted according to his feelings.

There was no sound of fighting at the hot spring sanatorium, which was good news. It gave Zhuang Xuteng more time to improve his skills. The company's shadow detection network and ground-strengthened detection poles continuously release monotonous energy waves. Their intensity, characteristics and frequency are extremely fixed, directly rewriting the surrounding shadow energy environment, seriously reducing the complexity of the environment, which is equivalent to giving Zhuang Xuteng is a perfect practice venue.

Gradually, Zhuang Xuteng began to feel like going with the flow and riding the waves, and the previous discomfort of being topsy-turvy or following the whirlpool quickly subsided. At this time, he had almost brought out the characteristics of the zombie's physique, and then gradually strengthened Dr. Senner's "integration into the environment" skills.

"The feeling is coming...the feeling is coming!" Zhuang Xuteng reached out and fished it out, and the shadow energy from the outside world was "grabbed into his palm". Of course, it is impossible for a flesh and blood body to directly capture energy, but the generation of this feeling is a manifestation of his ability to directly use environmental energy. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng began to use external energy to create sensing tentacles. Since the total energy he can now control is not enough, he can only gather it bit by bit, so the casting time is seriously prolonged. Fortunately, his spell control skills were good, and he was quite familiar with all aspects of the spell of sensing tentacles, so he was able to maintain the basic structure of the spell until the moment of success when the shadow slave's mana filled it up.

A sensory tentacle with a span of about 1,100 meters appeared. It was more "transparent" than the previous version and swayed with the fluctuation of shadow energy. Compared with tentacles, it is more like a "kite", and it is a kite that is constantly collapsing and reorganizing. When the wave comes, it transforms into ordinary shadow energy, without any thought of confrontation; when the wave leaves, it quickly aggregates, providing the original function of the spell to a minimum extent.

The image from the front is transmitted back intermittently, but the key issue of presence or absence is solved. Through this attempt, Zhuang Xuteng also understood how he should continue to strengthen this ability. Next, he wrapped himself in the Thousand Eyes Cloak, exposing a few "kite version" sensory tentacles outside, and thought about moving in the direction of the hot spring sanatorium.

In order to capture Naike, the company sent an army, and there was absolutely no exaggeration in this. Enhanced people were transported in the helicopter, and they were the main force of the operation. The fighter jets constantly flying in the sky were used to conduct air blockades to prevent anyone from jumping out of the encirclement using high-speed and high-explosive techniques. On the ground, dozens of tanks carrying light and heavy weapons provided peripheral protection for the fortified personnel, and thousands of soldiers set up blockades and set up inspection posts in the hot spring resort city. In addition, hundreds of execution puppets carried positioning and body condition monitoring equipment and entered the city in small teams to carry out searches. Everyone is inspected and every corner is searched with all kinds of equipment.

Zhuang Xuteng took a general scan, but did not see Dr. Senner and his right and left hands, and their cars were not there either. It was likely that they had left before the encirclement was formed. The company's personnel were examining the tourists and staff of the hot spring sanatorium one by one, and their inspection methods attracted Zhuang Xuteng's attention.

Fingerprints, palm prints, pupil detection, X-ray... The company can complete these inspections using a vacuum cleaner-like device, and the results can be obtained within ten seconds, and this is still using a slow wireless network connection. state. This detection method is quite complete and cannot be deceived by Zhuang Xuteng.

If such detectors were used everywhere, there would be no need to think about infiltration in disguise. Obviously, the company has learned lessons from the otter dormitory break-in and upgraded its equipment and measures to close the loopholes. Their response speed was extremely fast, just as the Lich Master expected.

Since Dr. Senner and the others are not here, there is no need to stay. Zhuang Xuteng moved out secretly, but unexpectedly attracted attention.

"Something is escaping." An enhanced person in the hot spring sanatorium frowned. She quickly squatted down, pressed both hands on the ground at the same time, closed her eyes and tilted her head, as if listening to the sounds of the ground with one ear. "The mass in the area is being lost, about 85 kilograms. His moving speed is slower than walking, and he is about 7 o'clock southwest of us." "Send a standard combat search team over immediately, and the others are ready for battle. "The enhanced commander on site issued an order and said: "Since it is not the core area, let the fire strike team prepare, calculate and modify the preview area, use the positioning equipment of the execution puppet as the basis for aiming, and check the data set three times. Correctness of information.”

Zhuang Xuteng was still crawling on the ground when he noticed these changes. Fifty execution puppets drove toward him at high speed in five wheeled armored vehicles. Along the way, they knocked down the fences and fences of private houses and pushed them onto clothes-drying poles and simple swings, bringing billowing black smoke and a thick, murderous air. How did you find me? Zhuang Xuteng's mind was filled with questions. He now faced two choices: get up and run immediately, or find a place to hide immediately.

Getting up and running quickly meant that there was a long line of pursuers behind him. At the moment, he didn't want to start a decisive battle like this. Zhuang Xuteng noticed the round sewer cover not far away, and the sensing tentacles got in and took a look, confirming that the thing could hide people, and as long as they moved a certain distance, they could find another place to come up. The earth is always willing to help hide everything. No matter what detection method, it will be weakened when penetrating the earth. So Zhuang Xuteng immediately turned around and headed towards the sewer, and used the tentacles of the resentful spirit to move the manhole cover in advance so that he could drill directly into it.

The armored vehicle on which the puppet was executed raised its pot lid, buzzing and firing sound waves forward. For this kind of equipment that relies on echoes for detection, Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand to send out a disintegration effect, which directly absorbed the sound waves at the angle facing the equipment, giving it no chance to reflect. At the same time, he used short bursts of high-speed and high-explosive abilities to rush forward, trying to enter the sewer in the shortest possible time.

"There's someone! Moving at high speed! It must be him!"

Following the warning from the guy who touched the ground with his hands, the company's reinforcements immediately acted according to the plan. They are divided into multiple action groups. Members of the first group do not have to wait for instructions from the commander. As long as the reconnaissance team finds a suspicious target, they will act immediately. There are four more groups of the same action paradigm to deal with situations where different goals appear in multiple directions. These groups are like the conditioned reflex effect of nerves. They take time as the first consideration and arrive at the scene as soon as possible to observe the situation.

Each such group contains at least one enhanced person who can skillfully use high-speed and high-explosive skills to walk in the air. Others follow the action in a parabolic jump and are equipped with shadow followers with flying functions. Zhuang Xuteng had already reached the well. He could get in just by lowering his head, but he had already seen the first group members in the air.

He can use his rapid movement to get into the sewer, leaving at most an afterimage, but the manhole cover does not have the ability to explode at high speeds! You can't treat the company's reinforcement people as blind, thinking that they can't see the open wellhead and the manhole cover of absenteeism, right? Next, the company will definitely block all the surrounding sewer entrances and exits, blocking Zhuang Xuteng inside. The situation will be difficult to solve. So Zhuang Xuteng gave up drilling, took the armor-breaking hammer in his hand, then untied the Thousand Eyes Cloak and opened his sensing tentacles directly.

Alarm sounds sounded from everywhere, and all enhanced personnel received the alarm from the Shadow Clan Detection Network. The rapid action team numbered 2 to 4 set off immediately, and the on-site commander reported to Anzu simultaneously. Shadow energy and shadow information spread rapidly within the wireless network invisible to the naked eye. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng knew very well that passively responding to the enemy would definitely result in being besieged, and he had to deal with the enemy that posed the greatest threat to escape before he was entangled. To put it bluntly, they are the guys who can fly.

He jumped directly into the air, kicked the air and quickly changed direction, rushing towards the enemy with a short burst of high speed. The company's enhancers noticed the afterimage of Zhuang Xuteng's jump, and immediately controlled the flying shadow slave to change its trajectory, thinking that this way they could avoid the threat of high-speed and high-explosion - they had obviously never seen a flying shadow follower that could change instantly while moving in the air. directional.

Whoever has the best air mobility will be the priority target. Zhuang Xuteng was like a black shadow in the sky. After two quick turns, he had already rushed to the side of an enhanced person, and the armor-breaking hammer swept over with thunderous power. This weapon is designed to break armor. As long as the speed is enough, no matter how good the armor skin is, it can't stop its penetration, crushing and destruction effects. In just one moment of meeting, a head exploded in the air; before the blood, brain matter and skull fragments could fly away, Zhuang Xuteng launched the next turn to speed up and rushed towards the second target.

The black shadow he formed continued to move in the air, as if someone was using an invisible brush to splash ink in the sky. The company's enhanced humans can observe and predict other people's high-speed and explosive states with the help of implanted nervous systems. They definitely know what Zhuang Xuteng is doing and what he may do next, but their mobility in the air is too poor. . Without the disintegration effect to support and counteract gravity and inertia, relying only on aircraft or implants with similar functions would never be able to achieve Zhuang Xuteng's abrupt turning and changing directions, let alone continuously enter a short, high-speed, high-explosion state.

In the air, Zhuang Xuteng had no opponent.

After exploding four heads in a row, the company's reinforcements responded. Those who were still in the air hurriedly landed, and those who were already on the ground took out their weapons and fired in the air. In an instant, at least forty ghost energy bombs rushed towards Zhuang Xuteng's position, followed by firepower from execution puppets, tanks, and armed helicopters, and these were only the first wave. Although these attacks have no tracking ability - his speed is too fast and there is no time for the ghost energy bullet to enter the tracking state - there is absolutely no problem in forming a fire blockade network based on quantity.

Zhuang Xuteng could only retreat. After all, he couldn't withstand so much fire damage with his body, right? His forced retreat was obviously predicted by some enhanced people. One of the guys wearing pilot goggles threw away his gun ring, opened his fingers, stretched his arms suddenly towards the air, and then shouted: "Hypergravity" !”

The huge shadow burst out from the energy, instantly reached Zhuang Xuteng's head, and then pressed down heavily. The surrounding gravity increased at least thirty times. If he were an ordinary person, his bones would have been broken and his body would have exploded and died. Due to Zhuang Xuteng's disintegration effect protection and the toughness of his alloy body, hypergravity did not affect his internal organs. However, the surrounding air became extremely heavy, and a strong downward airflow instantly formed, which seriously affected the effect of the floating technique, so Zhuang Xuteng was also shot down.

The enhanced man who rushed closer couldn't bear the super gravity and fell to the ground with a puff. The people behind quickly stopped and pulled the people in front out of range. The guy who used super gravity moved his palms toward the middle, so the gravity around Zhuang Xuteng increased to about fifty times.

"Sell the goods!" The change in air density caused the sound to be distorted. It took Zhuang Xuteng two seconds to react before he realized it was "artillery fire." The artillery fire is great, the artillery fire is great! He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and looked at the company's augmented man with a ferocious expression. Every muscle in his body was exerting force, as if he was really carrying a mountain formed by fifty times the gravity.

Artillery fire came.
