Chapter 1504 - 1504 The third Battle, doomsday's Lonely City?
1504 The third Battle, doomsday’s Lonely City?
After he regained consciousness, Tang Zhen appeared in a Super City with tall buildings.
From the appearance of those buildings, one could tell that this was a world with a very high level of technology. However, it had still been baptized by the flames of war, and there were ruins everywhere.
Tang Zhen didn’t know if the scene in front of him was an illusion or not. He only knew that what he felt was extremely real. It was obvious that this was the secret technique of the world Tower and it wasn’t as simple as an illusion.
As far as the eye could see, the streets were filled with scattered garbage, and there were thick dark clouds floating in the air, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate them.
If one looked closely, they would see a flying object flickering with blue light in the air, but it had never revealed its true appearance.
The terrifying energy field had disappeared, and in its place were mechanical insects like a swarm of bees. They were like a terrifying black sandstorm, circling the city in groups, killing all living things in their path!
When Tang Zhen looked at them, these mechanical flying insects were continuously advancing toward the center of the city, leaving behind an earthen yellow desert.
It was just changing the soup to one that did not contain the medicine, but he still had to force the trial-takers to kill each other.
He looked around and saw that the ground was littered with corpses. A few of them were wearing smooth combat suits and weapon parts were everywhere.
After Tang Zhen observed for a few minutes, he quickly took off the coat of the corpse and put it on while enduring the pungent smell.
With his cultivation level restricted, he had to use everything he could to complete the trial alive. So what if he took a few clothes from a corpse?
Through observation, he could confirm that this combat suit had a built-in energy source and some combat accessories. If it was fully equipped, it could allow an ordinary person to have the combat power of a level five cultivator.
This kind of armor was gradually becoming common in Holy Dragon City. Therefore, Tang Zhen only needed to look at it for a while before he could basically understand its working principle.
After changing into the combat suit, Tang Zhen began to search for energy modules and combat accessories on the body. Although most of them were destroyed, some were still barely usable.
It did not take long for Tang Zhen to find a vibroblade fixed on his forearm, a miniature energy shield, an electromagnetic rifle with a miniature rocket on his shoulder that could change its shooting mode, and several plasma grenades.
After checking all the weapons and equipment, Tang Zhen put on a helmet with bullet holes and dried brain matter on his head and carefully advanced along the dilapidated Street.
After walking for less than fifty meters, a mechanical beast jumped out from a building on the roadside. Its eyes flickered with red light as it locked onto Tang Zhen and fired a series of concentrated bullets at him.
The moment the mechanical beast appeared, Tang Zhen had already dodged quickly. At the same time, he raised his gun and aimed at the mechanical beast’s joint.
At the same time, Tang Zhen was also secretly rejoicing in his heart. This ferocious mechanical beast did not adopt a close-range attack. Otherwise, he would be in a dangerous situation.
Even if he was holding a weapon in his hand, Tang Zhen might not be a match for the ferocious mechanical beast in close combat under the condition that his cultivation was sealed. This was because its close-range attacks were too terrifying.
For ground combatants, it would be a terrible disaster if they encountered such agile mechanical beasts in urban combat!
His aim was not to kill the mechanical beast, but to destroy its mechanical structure.
However, all these Bionic robots would be heavily protected at the vulnerable parts. Their seemingly fragile heads and eyes could actually withstand high-intensity continuous attacks.
If he attacked these places during a direct battle, it was very likely that the mechanical beast would be fine, but he would be killed first.
However, if he attacked their joints, he might be able to kill them. Even if he couldn’t kill them, he could avoid being chased.
As a series of gunshots rang out, the bullets that had super armor-piercing capabilities continuously splashed sparks. The joints of the mechanical beast clearly showed signs of cracking and deformation, proving that Tang Zhen’s attack had already taken effect.
“Crack!”
The last metal pellet flew out from the guide. While Tang Zhen reloaded the magazine, he also began to use the buildings as cover to quickly move it.
he didn’t have time to waste with this mechanical beast. he had to evacuate as soon as possible!
Seeing that Tang Zhen was about to escape, the mechanical beast furiously roared. It bent its body backward and was about to jump and give chase. Who would have thought that just as it exerted its strength, its body would suddenly fall!
Tang Zhen’s earlier attack had already destroyed its joints. It was unable to run normally. Naturally, it could not continue to chase after Tang Zhen.
That mechanical beast had artificial intelligence and could simulate the thoughts of a real beast. At this moment, when it saw Tang Zhen escaping in front of it, it immediately let out a furious roar and shot out miniature rockets one after another, causing the entire Street to fall into a sea of fire.
after barely escaping the attack of the mechanical beast, tang zhen continued to advance. however, he soon encountered a new crisis.
A group of humanoid soldiers in combat suits had discovered him. They raised their guns and fired at his hiding spot. The walls of his hiding spot were penetrated one after another, forcing him to constantly change his hiding spot.
However, while he dodged, Tang Zhen would also counterattack from time to time, knocking down those humanoid soldiers one after another.
During this period of time, there were a few humanoid soldiers who entered the interior of the building but were quickly shot dead by Tang Zhen. He then took the opportunity to check the bodies of these soldiers.
It turned out that they were all real living creatures, but they were controlled by the brain controller on the helmet. At the same time, a nutrient tube was inserted into their mouths to ensure that their combat effectiveness would not be reduced due to physical fatigue.
As for their nutrition supply, it would be completed by a special ” tanker.
To put it bluntly, they were just some war puppets controlled by people. Although they did not have superb combat power like elite soldiers, they were definitely more than enough to patrol and deal with ordinary targets.
This was truly a deranged method. There was no need for professional training at all. They only needed to find some young and strong men and women to be used as war puppets.
If it was necessary, it would be easy to create millions of puppet soldiers!
Tang Zhen suddenly had a guess. Perhaps, the background of this trial world was a world that was similar to an AI. The purpose of them creating this kind of control device was to cause their own kind to kill each other!
In the history of the invasion of the world of loucheng, it was not rare for artificial intelligence to suddenly rebel and destroy the world. However, compared to the world controlled by the indigenous creatures, the difficulty of invading such a world would be lower.
The reason was that the AI’s target was the native creatures, but when it faced the cultivators with supernatural abilities, the effectiveness of its attacks would be greatly reduced.
Sometimes, even a single spiritual Emperor could easily destroy the entire world!
After replenishing his ammunition, Tang Zhen continued to move forward. If they only had these artificial intelligence, then the following battle might be much easier.
As he continued to advance toward the center, Tang Zhen encountered another two ferocious mechanical beasts. At the same time, there were also dozens of puppet soldiers. However, he easily avoided them and did not engage in a head-on battle with them.
Compared to the previous two trials, this one was much easier. Or rather, he was more suited for this type of battlefield.
The only thing he needed to be careful of was the final battle in the central area. Compared to the mechanical beasts and puppet soldiers, these trial-takers were the biggest threat.
They arrived at the central region without any mishaps. Tang Zhen also saw the other trial-takers. However, when he searched for the teleportation array, he discovered that he did not see any traces of it.
“Dammit, what is he up to this time?”
Tang Zhen furrowed his brows and continued to observe. The other participants were also confused, unable to figure out what was happening.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the ground suddenly shook violently. Then, a giant monster that looked like a turtle suddenly appeared and slowly walked toward them.
The teleportation circle that everyone had been searching for was located behind the monster. There was not just one, but five of them!
