our secret base

Chapter 128 An overwhelming victory

"Priest, do you want to take action?"

No. 9 said coldly.

Although her attitude towards Ji Chunzao was as respectful as her other companions, her emotional performance was the coldest.

"No, you can't do it."

said the priest.

"We should not treat the Savior..."

"You guys do it!"

Ji Chunzao stared at them.

"It's going to be like this in the end anyway, so why not come earlier! If you really don't want to fight, then give up! Get out of my sight immediately!"

The priest's face became increasingly sad, like solidified granite.

He stared silently, and after a long pause, the man slowly raised his hand.

"Don't... harm the Savior and her companions."

Before he finished speaking, No. 7 and No. 9 changed their clothes at the same time. One person's height quickly jumped to more than two meters, with a sturdy body, like a beetle magnified dozens of times, and a dark yellow case as thick as a cracked stone; while the other person was floating in the air, with a thin body, exuding a faint glow in the sun. It has a blue crystal luster, and a pair of transparent wings extending from the back waist to both sides, fluttering lightly, just like the elves in myths and legends.

No. 15 and No. 16, the blond brother and sister, look like a pair of bodies with their hands clasped together after their transformation. Both of their heads have connective tissue similar to corollas, with vine-like secondary structures. The "corolla" spreads to the shoulders, becomes tangled and twisted to form a grid, and grows again on this basis...

What was finally formed was a bud-like structure with complex textures on the top of their heads, which was larger than a human head and beating like a living heart. It looked very strange; the brother and sister's bodies were closely attached to each other below the bud. Taken together, it looks like the lower part of a blooming flower - the rhizome has almost merged into one person.

The brother and sister did not leave, but stayed by the priest's side. They seemed to be the type who were not good at action.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This was the first time... no, it was the second time he had seen a body other than the "prototype".

But he had a very strange feeling.

When he saw Qiu Qimeng's "savior", his first reaction was to instinctively realize the arrival of the same kind. Although the two looked different, they could indeed be seen as beings of the same race, like brothers and sisters. Confronting pure white giants.

However, it was clear that these people in front of him were also dressed in clothes, but after they transformed and showed their naked bodies, the feeling they gave him was completely different.

"Why do you feel like you look so... flashy?"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but muttered. He couldn't figure out what was different. It was just instinct, so he could only find reasons from the appearance.

"Can you win?"

Xie Yuzhi asked softly from the side.

"There are four...three people on the opposite side. They have a numerical advantage, and there should be coordination among them."

Although it was a question, there was not much worry in her tone, and she changed the subject:

"Of course, I think you will definitely win."

"Well, the fight hasn't started yet, so it's hard to say."

Yan Jingxing himself was not that confident. He raised his feet and jumped twice unconsciously, and whispered to himself:

"bring it on."

The white armor quickly covered his expression and face, and his body was elevated, showing the appearance of a giant with graceful lines.

"boom!"

Along with the cracks blooming on the ground, his figure has disappeared.

*

Every time the flower buds above the brothers and sisters stirred, scalding heat was brewing. At the moment the battle began, the top of the flower buds was pointed forward, spraying out a column of fiery red high-pressure liquid.

The splashed liquid dripped onto the ground, leaving behind scorching black marks. The surrounding heated air quickly cooled and condensed, and white mist spread.

The liquid column, which was even hotter than volcanic magma, streaked through the air and hit the unoccupied house, causing it to quickly burn like a torch.

...but it's too slow.

After it was Yan Jingxing's turn to transform, he took his two friends a few hundred meters away and ran back before they had time to launch the next attack.

"Boom!"

No. 7 stood in the middle of the road. Judging from his posture, he was trying to charge. However, he was confused because he lost his target. It was not until Yan Jingxing suddenly appeared in front of him that he barely reacted.

"High speed" and "low speed" - the relative speed difference between the two is more than five times. It is like a battle taking place in two worlds, completely overwhelming.

In fact, the speed of No. 7 is not slow. The maximum speed when charging can reach more than 500 kilometers per hour. With his strong and huge body, he is as unstoppable as a rampaging chariot, but his opponent is unable to use it. A monster measured by common sense.

No. 7 crossed his arms, and an earthy yellow crystal shell was condensed in front of him. The white giant's fist dropped on it, causing ripples in circles; No. 7's body involuntarily stepped back dozens of meters, and his footsteps Two deep marks were dragged on the ground.

No. 9 is the only one who can keep up with the speed of the prototype. The wings on her back vibrate silently for a moment, which can provide her with huge acceleration. With her slender body, she can move like flowing water after breaking the sound barrier; and these wings can also be used as weapons. Swinging it, while maintaining supersonic speed, is like two whip blades sharpening iron like mud. No combat equipment or structure can block it.

But archetypes are beyond common sense.

Faced with No. 9's attack, Yan Jingxing subconsciously used his arms to block the whipping at first, but soon found that it would only leave shallow scars. For a body with super self-healing ability, one in ten Within a breath, you will be back to your original state.

So, he simply gave up the plan of defense, because the other party did not have the ability to hurt him at all, just like using a waving toothpick to deal with a fully armed giant.

……

No. 9 fell into despair.

This... it's too ridiculous to not break through the defense at all. With her physical strength, even an entire reinforced concrete building can be blocked by her.

Is it because the opponent's evolution rate is too high? But according to the intelligence within the Intellectuals, the other party should have only become a wearer in the past year. The number of battles managed by the institute alone cannot be compared with the experimental subjects they have put on the battlefield countless times——

So, is this just an inherent "qualitative" gap between the prototype and other bodies?

No. 9 inevitably felt shuddered when she saw the scarlet pupils of the white giant looking at her calmly.

"It's my turn."

The man's voice rang in her ears, like the ruthless voice of death, symbolizing the irresistible doom that befell them.

She really thought this way, so much so that she began to suspect that the brain itself was producing all kinds of hallucinations.

Because... she found it difficult to understand just the fact that the other party could forcibly invade her mind and speak to her deep in her heart.

The body armor on her body couldn't give her any sense of security.

"Boom!"

Time moves slowly in No. 9's eyes.

The basis for the cultivation of her body is a life blueprint designed with "speed" specialization. The living mechanical technology of Alpha civilization is combined with the bionic structure of dragonflies on the earth, and the maximum speed can reach twice the speed of sound.

But even so, her observation skills could only barely keep up with his movements. She saw the white giant raise his arm and call out the spiral gun. The metal crystal shield that No. 7 was proud of was easily penetrated, as fragile as a piece of paper; He fell to his knees, blood and internal organs gushing out from the horrific wound. The other party didn't seem to have any intention of specifically taking their lives, so he drew the tip of his spear;

She saw the giant's mouth suddenly open, and the huge shock wave released from it swept across dozens of meters, and the sweeping storm blew the brother, sister and the priest into the sky;

The giant grabbed the "bud" on top of the corolla and tore it off violently. Magma-like hot liquid sprayed everywhere, like burning blood;

Next, she saw the white giant raise its head, its scarlet pupils pointed at her.

"Wait……!"

An unprovoked impulse made No. 9 want to speak.

In fact, until this moment, she didn't even know what to say.

She and her friends, from birth to now, have always had only one number with them and nothing else.

He has no name, no parents, and grew up in a laboratory.

There has never been any trace of the word "begging for mercy" in their genes and in their education.

Therefore, although No. 9 tried to speak under the trend of survival desire, the lips wrapped in the naked body only trembled in confusion.

But before that, the final moment has arrived.

No. 9 lost the courage to resist, and the wings on his back fell down.

"Well……!"

The white giant kicked her in the abdomen, which was accompanied by unbearable severe pain - for the first time, the armor's defensive properties had no effect, and she fell to her knees like an ordinary person.

But before she could fall to her knees, the giant lifted her head up again.

Death's eyes looked down at her coldly.

That voice sounded in her heart again.

"you……"

"Didn't you use all your strength?"

*

"It seems not."

The white giant raised his hand and shattered No. 9's mask with one finger, revealing a fragile, pale, yet beautiful face.

Her long light blue hair was soaked with sweat and curled up and hanging down on her shoulders. The girl's clear and transparent pupils stared at him, her chest heaved and breathed violently, and she felt strangely fragile.

He looked into her eyes and saw fear and panic, but more importantly, a sense of confusion.

Yan Jingxing sighed.

The giant put down the body in his hand and moved a little gently.

Not far away, the priest in black who was swept up by the storm hit a tree and slowly slid down. He did not hesitate when he landed on the ground. After regaining his mobility, he immediately stumbled and ran towards the brother and sister who fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?! Are you still alive? Still alive, great..."

The tearful priest grabbed the hands of the blond children and looked at No. 7 on the other side, watching him struggling to get up from the ground and stuffing back the internal organs that came out of his abdomen.

Such a rough approach actually worked for a soldier. His wounds gradually stopped bleeding, but he fell back to the ground weakly. It seemed that he could no longer fight.

"You are still alive."

Yan Jingxing finished his transformation and walked to the priest, only to find that he was the least injured.

Is the body structure different from ordinary people? Yan Jingxing thought to himself, until the moment he took action, he remembered that there was an ordinary person among the other party who was not a dresser, and he thought that the other party was dead.

Although he kept his hand and had no intention of killing them all, the power of the prototype was still beyond imagination and seemed to be expanded again than before. After the battle with Qiu Qimeng, the growth of this power never stopped...

"Don't worry. Although I am not a warrior, I have undergone adjustment surgery more than once and have enhanced organs implanted in my body. I will not die easily."

The priest answered with tears. Although his men were easily beaten, the man's attitude towards Yan Jingxing was still gentle.

"'Enhanced organs'...can still do such a thing."

"It's a by-product of our research on 'living machinery', it's no big deal."

Yan Jingxing was speechless for a moment.

This person has not shown any hostile attitude until now, but is very persistent about Ji Chunzao's matter. Therefore, he felt that this was enough.

"It's time for you to go, right?"

"Yes, it's time to go. We can't fulfill our long-cherished wish... because of lack of ability. We won't blame anyone."

The priest murmured, tears overflowing from his sunken eyes once again.

"It's just that I can't help but worry about the future of the savior. Even if there is a powerful warrior like you guarding her..."

"Explain it to me clearly." Yan Jingxing couldn't help but frown, "Besides, is there any reason why we must let her leave us?"

"Because the crisis comes from the savior herself, she will involve everything around her in the disaster." The man replied, "If you and the girl are injured in the disaster caused by the savior, the savior himself will definitely be very sad. It’s hard to forgive yourself.”

"And we are different."

The priest in black put his hand on his chest and smiled on his tear-stained face. It was an expression of pride for his career, belief in his life's work, and an expression filled with the glory of faith.

"We have long been prepared to sacrifice. After this disaster is over, the savior will return to our friends again. She does not have to sacrifice the happiness of being a human being for this world. This is our greatest wish... …”

Before Yan Jingxing could ask again, he suddenly heard a scream - that was Xie Yuzhi's voice.

It was rare for the eldest lady to make such a panicked cry, which made Yan Jingxing's mood immediately become tense.

"what happens?!"

He looked a few hundred meters away and saw Xie Yuzhi kneeling on the ground, holding the curly-haired girl tightly in his arms, looking down at her in his arms anxiously, and calling her name at the same time.

"Chun Zao... she suddenly fainted!"

"The fateful moment has finally arrived."

He heard the man next to him say this. The priest put one hand on his chest and lowered his head as if praying.

"You won, boy, you won the battle easily. But this does not mean the end, but it symbolizes the beginning, because the person who has to make the decision has become you. Are you mentally prepared?"
