Inside the second floor of the loop.
“Xiaozhen, we’ve been ambushed.”
“If we can’t find a way out, we’ll be trapped and die here.”
Liu Xiaozhen whistled, unhurriedly strolling through each room, still searching for a way out.
“Then don’t die before me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist taking advantage while you’re still warm.”
Li Zailong ignored Liu Xiaozhen’s joke.
“We can’t drag this out any longer. The opponent clearly wants to separate us and defeat us one by one. Li Xiucheng might already be in trouble, and I’m worried about Jintai too.”
Liu Xiaozhen raised her eyebrows.
“What are you going to do?”
“My mechanical eye isn’t broken, only the socket is damaged.”
“I need a new socket.”
Li Zailong raised his mechanical arm and, using three mechanical fingers, inserted them into his right eye.
He dug out his original right eye, his expression unchanged.
He threw the eyeball to Liu Xiaozhen.
“Keep it safe, we can still sell it later.”
Liu Xiaozhen took the eyeball, a look of disgust on her face.
“What have you done to yourself? How many original parts do you even have left?”
“Wait, you haven’t modified your lower half too, have you? Is that why you’ve always rejected me?”
“I sold a testicle, otherwise where would I get the train coins to modify my bionic body?”
Liu Xiaozhen shook her head, indicating she couldn't understand.
Li Zailong pulled out the mechanical eye that was originally in his left eye socket and inserted it into the newly vacated right eye socket.
“New socket detected… Reconnecting… Overwriting original program… Error… Initiating self-repair… Repair complete… Loading drivers… Drivers loaded… Activated.”
Li Zailong’s mechanical eye shot out a red beam, scanning the footprints on the ground that were invisible to the naked eye, and began analyzing the data.
He walked to the stairwell, and from the complex, interwoven shoe prints, he scanned a pair of noticeable bare footprints.
Good, he found a way out.
Just then, he scanned something in the corner that shouldn’t have been there.
It was a long, rope-like object, cowering under the baseboard in the corner of the corridor.
His right arm extended a laser blade, and he slashed at it.
The Serpent of Inquiry was cut in half by the laser blade, and after a jingle, it transformed into three dice, revealing its true form.
Liu Xiaozhen came over and picked up the three dice, her lips curling into a happy smile.
“It’s an item! It’s called crimson dice.”
“Too bad I can’t use it now, there’s a cooldown.”
“What, for me? Then I won’t be polite.”
Liu Xiaozhen happily stuffed the three dice into her pocket.
Li Zailong shook his head, saying nothing.
......
As the Serpent of Inquiry was discovered and killed, Qi Xiao’s shared vision also disappeared.
Not good, judging by his appearance, it seems he’s found a way to leave!
I can’t let them out!
Qi Xiao took out a toad potion and enchanted ‘Lust’.
The effect of the toad potion had just been tested in actual combat, and it was very effective.
After making sure there were no wounds or canker sores in his mouth, Qi Xiao took a small sip.
Smooth on the entry, a single line down the throat.
It had a strange taste, a mix of strawberry and grass carp.
toad potion, when consumed, excites the spirit, increasing agility and recovery!
After disguising himself as Li Xiucheng again using the Chameleon Human Skin Mask and the galaxy combat suit, Qi Xiao stepped onto the stairs.
Only one strike, a sure kill!
Stepping onto the last stair, Qi Xiao arrived on the second floor of the loop.
At the same time, he also saw Li Zailong and Liu Xiaozhen.
This time, it wasn’t through shared vision, but standing face-to-face with them.
“Are you alright, Xiucheng?”
Liu Xiaozhen was clearly stunned when she saw that the newcomer was ‘Li Xiucheng’.
The next second, a line of blood spurted from her neck, splattering Li Zailong’s face with blood.
And Qi Xiao had already vanished from in front of them.
At this moment, Qi Xiao was hiding in Room 201 nearby.
He disguised himself as Li Xiucheng precisely to make them momentarily stunned!
In combat, even a momentary lapse can lead to unpredictable consequences.
Before coming up, Qi Xiao had already decided to kill the woman first.
She didn’t seem to have any special powers, so killing her would reduce their numbers first.
The moment they saw each other, Qi Xiao activated Word Spirit · Time Zero!
Time slowed down tenfold!
One slash, a throat slit!
Disguise, approach, assassination, all in one smooth motion.
When Qi Xiao heard a “thud” outside, he knew he had succeeded.
“Son of a bitch!”
Li Zailong’s right arm ejected a laser blade, cutting open the door to 201.
There was no one inside, and the next second, he was hit by several shots from behind, but they were all blocked by his armor.
Qi Xiao stood in Room 202, holding his gun, and clicked his tongue.
Why can’t this trash Armor-Piercing Bullet break anything?
Before Li Zailong rushed into 201, Qi Xiao had already climbed out the window and arrived at 202 across the hall.
Switching bullets—Frost Bullet.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Every Frost Bullet accurately hit Li Zailong’s armor joints.
The armor that protected him, now with all its joints frozen, became a cage trapping him.
Good, it’s working.
After temporarily immobilizing Li Zailong, Qi Xiao continued to shoot from a safe location.
The armor on Li Zailong’s body began to heat up, and the frost on his joints gradually melted.
At the same time, he retracted his laser blade, switched to a cannon, aimed at Qi Xiao, and blue ripple energy began to gather.
Oh crap, it’s that move.
That energy cannon that can blast through floors.
Qi Xiao rolled, disappearing from Li Zailong’s sight.
At the same time, that cannon fired, blasting a large hole where Qi Xiao had been standing.
Because he didn’t manage to follow up with Frost Bullets in time, Li Zailong’s frozen joints were freed as his armor heated up, and he could move again.
He switched back to the laser blade and, using his mechanical eye’s scanning function, searched for Qi Xiao’s tracks.
So fast, a speed that couldn't be caught by the naked eye at all.
Li Zailong saw Liu Xiaozhen lying in a pool of blood on the ground, and fierce anger ignited in his eyes.
He closed Liu Xiaozhen’s eyes, took his own eye back from her hand, and threw it into his mouth.
One bite, and his mouth was filled with bursting juice.
Li Zailong swallowed what was in his mouth and stood up.
Xiaozhen, I will avenge you.
Just as he was searching for Qi Xiao’s tracks, he felt a violent vibration from his neck.
Qi Xiao was behind him, and ‘Lust’ was striking at his neck.
Qi Xiao had actively sought him out.
Vibration, high-frequency vibration, was transmitted through the armor to Li Zailong’s entire body.
He felt as if he were in a vibrating sieve, and he was a piece of pork constantly being vibrated and sifted.
Finally, the high-frequency vibration of ‘Lust’ forcefully broke through the armor on Li Zailong’s neck, and with a crisp crack, the armor on his neck disintegrated.
The characteristic of ‘Lust’ meant that it could more easily cause damage to hard objects.
Conversely, soft and resilient things were not as easy to deal with.
The tip of the blade grazed Li Zailong’s neck, leaving a thin, long bloodstain.
