Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The alloy deformed, the bow arm creaked, and the whole streamlined machine was pressed against the shoulder by Lu Meng like a rifle.

The skyfire shot out, and the night sky shone.

Ling Er rushed into the flames, and most of the receptors on his body stopped working due to the high temperature tolerance limit, but the key motion bearings and the programs set in the chip continued to run.

This is the body of the machine.

It allows him to resist the skyfire and escape from the enemy's pursuit and the attack range of most long-range weapons at a very fast speed.

But at this moment, Ling Er was not proud of his steel structure at all.

Instead, he was more sad because of the burning of the chimeric flesh and human skin on his body.

As the scholar's No. 2 experiment and the first skeleton to undergo the human transformation ritual, Ling Er's starting point was already higher than other people of the same kind.

When he was dug out.

He was born to adapt to flesh and blood.

His affinity with human skin was also the best.

But now, all the previous efforts have been wasted.

Ling Er silently recited the chapter "Human Walking and Running" in "The Bible of the Skeleton Tribe's Transformation into Humanity", hoping to seize every minute to make up for the lessons missed this time...

"Take the left foot first..."

Suddenly, a heavy blow came, and the skeleton who had shed his human skin suddenly lost his balance.

It was all thanks to the built-in gyroscope in his body.

He was able to stand on his heels.

"This..." Ling Er turned his head in surprise.

This time, an arrow hit his head, and the camera hole covered by the chip suddenly broke into a net-like crack - the entire human figure of the skeleton was knocked to the ground.

But he also saw it.

The one holding the crossbow was the "brother" who had just got there first!

The distance between them was enough to isolate most long-range weapons, but not the old world crossbow and the Eagle Crossbow.

To be more precise.

Even the old world crossbow was a bit reluctant - but with the top craftsmanship of this world and Lu Meng's operation, the pure steel arrow still passed through the laser net under the Skyfire Step and hit the fleeing human figure.

Under the instant high temperature.

Even the arrowhead softened a little.

On ordinary days, it might not even be able to penetrate the leather armor, let alone the steel body of the skeleton man - but even if it can't penetrate, the kinetic energy given by the mechanism still exists!

"What are you doing!" Ling Er climbed up and roared.

But he couldn't respond.

Two consecutive arrows and another laser shot straight at him.

His body was burned red.

After being hit hard, it was even deformed, and the alarm of functional failure came from all over his body.

"Bang!"

The fuel tank leaked.

The fermented food residue exploded instantly with methane, and the strong liquor that was drunk before to provide energy was also ignited by the laser at this time.

Ling Er stood in the flames, like a sculpture returning from hell - his kinetic energy was lost, and he was indeed gradually solidifying like a sculpture, no longer as agile as at the beginning.

But he didn't dare to believe it.

This was not logical.

Zero Two shouted, "If you do this, the scholar will definitely punish you!"

The other party should know better than himself.

Among them, killing each other is an absolute prohibition...

Even in this situation.

Zero Two still uses a coded language taught by the scholar.

"No, if he knows...not only will he not punish us, but he should praise us." A voice came from afar.

Because machines need to be logical.

But people don't.

When you learn this, you can be considered to have mastered the essence of becoming a human.

Zero Two certainly couldn't understand.

He just used the last bit of strength and rolled along the ground. Although he was still covered by the sky fire, he was completely out of the range of the crossbow arrows.

"Bang!"

But a loud sound of metal came.

Zero Two knew that he had hit something, and the laser in the sky stopped.

Or in other words, it was blocked by something.

He glanced.

Read the screen.

A huge machine blocked in front of him, and the laser shot sparks on it.

Within a few meters, it was as bright as daylight.

Four steel legs firmly stuck around Zero Two, imprisoning him.

"Iron Spider..." The Skeleton was horrified and could not understand, "No, it's a security spider!"

These old-time machines, after losing control, often wandered around involuntarily in some areas and attacked passers-by indiscriminately.

For example, the Iron Spider, the legendary Iron Trail is famous for them.

But the machine model in front of him was not the ownerless machine in the wild, but a security machine specially responsible for guarding ancient laboratories and armories.

It was bigger and more powerful.

Even if the attack weapons equipped when it was first produced had all failed, the physical heavy blow of this steel body alone was enough to be called a killing machine.

Their only weakness was that as a defensive machine, the speed of active movement was slow... If you meet them in the wild, most people can run away with their legs.

But Zero Two was dragged by a crossbow.

This is how he was caught.

"Wait... my identification code is..." Ling Er wanted to show his unique identification code as a former citizen of the Second Empire, but he suddenly realized that those things had already been removed by scholars in order to transform into a human.

"——I am a human."

He wanted to pull up the muscles and skin on both sides of his cheeks and smile as the Bible said - but all he could do was move the stiff mechanical bearings.

Click!

The safety spider slammed down.

In the distance, people could only see a huge machine being irradiated by lasers, sky and fire, smashing into the ground like crazy. Red steel splashed and quickly cooled into iron gray fragments in the air.

The collision of iron and fire.

It vents violence that is difficult for living things to achieve.

In the legend of Shendi, there is an absolutely untamable beast - the Iron Beast.

Lu Meng put down the old world crossbow.

He knew...security spiders usually would not leave the security perimeter they had set, which was those lost ancient ruins.

It is for this reason.

Relics are difficult to explore and full of dangers.

Just like technology hunters, even if they find maps and trails, they will not go there rashly.

But the safe spider appears here...

There is only one possibility:

They were controlled and programmed.

"Sure enough, the 'people' in Revenge Land still realized that I used them to use sky fire to solve the beast disaster and the merchant guild." Lu Meng thought to himself, "Since their original strategy failed, they will not repeat their old tricks. I was lucky enough to think that I could block the prying eyes of the world with just fire from the sky..."

Then, another trump card will be dealt.

Finally, the security spider turned the camera, looked around warily, then stretched out a mechanical arm, reached into the debris under it, and removed a chip.

The shell is broken, but the texture is clear.
