Chapter 5: Running to the Death (Part 2)
From the perspective of the drone, under the sky, the wreckage of the building as high as dozens of floors was covered by yellow creepers like snakes, and the giant tree canopy cover of the same height was spread out in all directions.
The dense metal leaves are like solar power panels in a circle; the air emits the smell of burning electrical appliances, which is the mechanical biochemical beast secreting artificial proteins.
The camera rotates, and the drone's vision continues to magnify. In the gaps in the forest, you can clearly see the tree roots plunging into the cement floor of the old city, crushing various metal waste like a large mixer, and then absorbing it with newly grown metal pipes.
Metal, cement, plant rhizomes, and strangely blend together.
When the drone flew over a communication tower, the lightning rod at the top of the tower suddenly turned around and slowly opened. It was a sword leaf-shaped metal flower engraved with the "Iron Tower Co., Ltd.".

Two of the thruster nozzles of a drone suddenly lost control, causing its flight trajectory to float and eventually plunge into the forest.
The next moment, predators moved in groups, and the iron rats crawling out of the sewer were as fast as lightning. The metal pulleys that replaced the foot limbs seemed to be some high-tech brand's autonomous pulley shoes.
The turbine spider follows closely behind. As a medium-sized colony life, it is three meters long and two meters high, with three pairs of mechanical large claws. The limbs are like steel knives. The radioactive spider eyes on the head are like large searchlights. The strong light emitted constantly rotates, forcing the peers who are robbing food.
The sharp whistle sounded, and the front of the car rushed along the highway passage, pushing the wreckage of the car on the highway passage from time to time.
But the predators on the tree took the lead, and more than a dozen bird-shaped semi-mechanical creatures rushed up. The bird beak, which was like an electric drill, skillfully drilled the shell of the drone, bit off the wires on the engine, and the drone went on a complete strike.
Next is a feast. The metal shell is like a snack, the lines are exciting and smooth, the chip is nutritious, the battery is the most popular, and the motor is hard to chew but chewy.
The camera was finally grabbed by a bionic gecko and inserted it into the neck. The electronic patterns on the bionic skin lit up, as if some special pairing was being conducted. Soon the camera lit up, which was laid off and re-employed.
Seeing this, the other two drones immediately climbed upwards. However, when a drone behind bypassed a Gemini building, the "ichon" on the surface of the building suddenly opened like snake scales, rising and falling regularly.
The 'Ivy' transfers biological signals into a building composed of optical fibers, databases and input devices.
‘Electronic pairing’
‘Signal conversion’
‘Virtual invasion’
The predecessor of the Gemini Building should be a TV station with a total of 23 floors. With the connection of ivy, the long-clogged backup motor suddenly started to run, and the sound in the computer room was loud; from the roof to the bottom of the building, the screens on one floor after another were opened, and the playback was not the advertisement, but the picture of the drone flying.
On the TV station, there seem to be countless transparent staff debugging equipment, confirming programs, and editing videos.
Finally, the screen suddenly lit up in front of a suicide corpse.
"...Sky law enforcement officers have carried out rectification and issued regulations to strengthen the safety management of "low, slow, small" aircraft such as civilian drones, and established eight types of control areas including municipalities. In addition to special approval, it is prohibited..."
As the video was played, the drone behind trembled violently, suddenly turned around and slowly landed on the upper floor of the Gemini Building.
Then, the screen seemed to press the reverse key. Starting from the Gemini Building, the "drone" flew backwards from the roof and headed straight for the underground fortifications somewhere.
An underground control center of an air-raid shelter
A staff member's face changed, and his ten fingers suddenly cracked, turning into a structure similar to a spider's claw, and his fingertips hit the keyboard at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.
And the big screen in front of him turned red instantly.
‘Data exception, data exception-’
‘Flight signals are captured, and the first layer of defense is damaged during the virus invasion-’
"What's going on? How could there be a virus invasion? Our actions were discovered by the mechanical master?" The middle-aged man, who looked like a supervisor, changed his expression and said in surprise.
"No, the monitoring stations in the city did not find any signs of the mechanical corps being dispatched."
“This virus type is not a common corporate virus.”
Another employee also explained that there was a device similar to a headset hanging on his head, and the "headphones" were embedded in the ear hole, and a small circle of wires inserted into the ear hole could be vaguely seen.
In the city that never sleeps, this device is called the "network access warehouse". The Knights lacked the technical accumulation in this area. Military technology in the old era could only enter the World Wide Web and could not connect to the Cyber Network; they are now using refurbished machines acquired by the black market.
This refurbished machine has no power to fight back when fighting against advanced AI-controlled enterprise viruses.
"It seems to be some kind of biological signal-transformed wild electronic virus."
The supervisor immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the wild virus was still within their treatment range.
More importantly, the 'Hedra' plan has not been discovered and is still going smoothly.
"Find out the source and find out why the drone appeared in that place." The supervisor said with some anger.
"Confirmation of the position, 213.313.511, Jiangbe City in the pre-civilized era; the mission level is a "knight" level, which is a wanted task temporarily issued by senior management."
A staff member paused and said in awe: "It's the Iron Knight - the Flag!"
The last drone is still loyally completing its mission, but unfortunately, there are too many of its nemesis in this concrete jungle.
Soon, a black shadow shot out from the forest at a very fast speed, as if tearing the air. After the sound explosion, another explosion occurred, flames scattered, and the fragments of the drone fell from the sky.
In a block with countless "red lanterns" floating, the blood blanket on the ground slowly swam, climbing up the high building, rushing up to the elevated tower, sweeping over every creature that invaded the block, and finally gathered in the center. The swimming blood covered the surface of the blood blanket, as if it was the hem of a noble lady's skirt.
The "lucky lady" in the center of the blanket is a monster nearly three meters tall, composed of bones and flesh, and countless nerve bundles form her hair. At the end of the hair, there are the heads of mechanical hunters hanging.
If you turn on the radiation detector, you can observe that in this block, the terrifying radiation volume is infinitely close to the center of the nuclear explosion.
"Even the A-level bright red queen dares to break into the realm of the realm. She really takes off her pants and farts, looking for death!"
[Complete the task, reward 1500 experience points]
Just as the Iron Sand Desert is not a real desert, and the oasis is not green, it is more like a town with a full range of facilities. The residents here are complex compositions, including fugitives from the Mechanical City, mercenaries from the factory, natives from the Iron Sand Desert, man-made synthesizers who believe in the Turingism.
There are no good people here, and it can even be said that there are no ‘people’. All residents are implanted with visible implants, and the organs are organized and mechanized, which makes everyone look extremely difficult to mess with.
And those who can open a store here safely are definitely tough people at the level of the town.
The owner of the Rose Gasoline Bar is a woman, and a very beautiful woman. Her fiery red hair is like burning flames, and her emerald-like eyes are used to looking at people through the waves. Her hot upper body is unconcealedly wrapped in a high-elastic tight vest. A large whiteness appears on her chest, and a charming black rose blooms on her waist with a vest line.
Rose gasoline bar provides various types of alcohol, bionic prostitutes, virtual experience machines, psychotropic drugs, small body repair and transformation, sales agents and killer services.
At this moment, Black Rose was standing behind the bar, casually adjusting a cup of Margaret, listening to the boasting, showing off, and occasionally sweeping greedy eyes.
Every year, many people come here to find gold, including powerful prosthetic transformers, but fewer and fewer familiar faces. Among them, 99% stay in this radiation zone forever. Only a few lucky people will earn enough mechanical coins in exchange for an entrance ticket to the city that never sleeps, and enjoy the life of the best.
Most of the time, Black Rose was watching coldly as they watched the idiots jump from the radiation zone into the more dangerous urban hell.
Monsters in the city eat people but don’t spit bones!
However, some idiots are still quite cute, and it's a pity to die.
"Have you heard it? The factory's goods were intercepted in the Great Rift Valley."
Among the messy news, a message caught her attention.
"Who dares to intercept the factory's goods and seek death!"
"I don't know, maybe some stowaways took the risk."
"Don't implicate us if these people are looking for death."
A strong man with metal arms laughed:
"It's not all a bad thing. The factory is so rich and might be able to earn a big bounty!"
"That's right, my exoskeleton should have been replaced long ago. The goods in the city have been sold here, and it has increased tenfold. Those dog-good corporate vampires!"
Black Rose raised her thin and long brows and drank Margaret all over, her eyes signaling the bartender not far away to replace her, and she strode to the back door.
In addition to providing alcohol service, gasoline bars can also accommodate nights. After all, some activities are more suitable for nighttime activities; Black Rose usually lives in the basement of the bar, where there is enough wine.
However, few people know that Black Rose has another stronghold. The formerly of the stronghold was an abandoned factory, which has now been transformed into a garage with various types of motorcycles she collected.
Wine and heavy motorcycles are two of the things this woman likes the most.
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood came to my face. Black Rose's expression did not change at all, and she directly opened the switch.
The next moment, under the dazzling searchlight, there was an unfamiliar and messy off-road vehicle, with three of four tires blowing out, and countless scratches and bullet marks on it.
A wild man was lying in the car. The man blinded his eyes, broke his hand, and held half a cigarette in his mouth.
"Come."
Black Rose glanced around and said calmly: "Who allows you to drive this kind of garbage into my garage."
The senior officer smiled bitterly, "Sister Rose, can you stop talking about the car? Save the people first."
"If I die, wouldn't you lose a car?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Gong's neck tilted and he fell into a coma.
