Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

The helicopter was engulfed in flames and smoke. The fire illuminated the wilderness and damaged roadbed, giving the surrounding area a blood-red color. The war shackles created by Zhuang Xuteng in the air wiped out the vehicles on the highway below the projection, and a series of rear-end collisions inevitably caused congestion. The pilots and passengers who were knocked unconscious were obviously unable to think 100% normally. When they saw the crashing and burning helicopter, they not only did not run away, but actually dared to come forward and watch.

Zhuang Xuteng opened his tentacles of resentment and reached out to each of them, using the health of those people to speed up his own recovery. He just "attached" his right arm and could not immediately restore the broken part to its original shape, so he couldn't count on this arm now. He borrowed the power of the Wraith Servant and the tentacles, and raised his right hand as if to use the armor-piercing hammer, just to attract the attention of the human shield man, scare him, and provide the sick lady with an opportunity to shoot.

The meat shield man only felt that his body was hot and cold - he was being roasted by the fire of the helicopter wreckage, and he was also receiving the cold greetings from the ghost inside him. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage in the battle, he was ready to fight desperately and force the implants in his body to work at full capacity. This move directly exhausted the remaining ability to withstand the side effects of the implant, directly leading to an acute attack of "Lanchi syndrome".

A mouthful of blood welled up and stopped in his throat, stuck. The meat shield man's eyes widened. He felt as if every cell in his body was being suffocated, as if someone had injected quick-drying cement into his entire body. His life ended here, and the patient lady then used the bone spear technique to smash his brain-it was just destroying the corpse.

Listening carefully, there was no sound on the battlefield, but the matter was not over yet, Zhuang Xuteng still had to solve the problem of how to leave. When he suspected that the identity of "Sengang" had been exposed, Zhuang Xuteng began to cover his face with shadows, modify the details of his clothes, and change his appearance along the way. But the most difficult thing was not to disguise himself, but to make it look like it had nothing to do with him.

"Step by step." Zhuang Xuteng walked towards the helicopter and hid in the visual blind spot caused by the fire and thick smoke (compared to the crowd of onlookers on the highway). When passing the body of the meat shield man, he did not forget to hand over the armor-piercing hammer to his left hand and hit the head with the last blow.

Just on the highway, some of the passengers following behind took out their mobile phones - they had escaped the shackles of war, but not the traffic jam, so their mobile phones still worked. They took photos of the burning helicopter "with great interest", especially close-ups of the company logo of "Dingxin Magic", and some of them were directly uploaded to the Internet. Zhuang Xuteng can only say that these guys really don't know how to live or die. They stay away from the scene of the accident and protect their own lives. Don't they understand such a simple truth? What's the use of taking those close-up photos?

Zhuang Xuteng was not polite and began to transfer damage to them, using necromancy to heal himself. At the same time, he created another shadow and covered the patient's body with it, creating a coat similar to his own. He used a shadow "mask" to cover the bandage on her face, and then drew two more shadows. Shadow eyes.

"Appear." As Zhuang Xuteng disappeared into the firelight, the sick lady appeared in his place. If you look closely, you will find that the sick lady is suspended in the air, and her facial features look a bit cartoony, not like a real person. Fortunately, the hot air produced by the flame makes the light appear hazy and distorted, making it difficult to see or take pictures clearly.

"Go!" Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and gave the sick lady an attack order. I saw the sick lady spreading her legs, pretending to take long strides, but in fact she was just drifting forward. She walked around the burning helicopter, came to everyone's mobile phone cameras, made a kicking motion and floated upwards. To be honest, she really couldn't act and couldn't imitate the feeling of jumping at all.

At this time, some people had realized something was wrong and turned around to run away; some people still raised their mobile phones to take photos without thinking; some people a little further away saw a "human figure" rising into the air and did not know why, so they tried to wait and see. At this moment, the patient lady used "Banshee's Wail", and the shrill scream exploded, sweeping across the scene like a shock wave.

She unleashed almost all the resentment she had accumulated in this battle, which was the sum total of the side effects of implants accumulated by an entire augmented human combat team.

For those who were closer, their eyeballs and brains seemed to have exploded; for those who were a little further away, their whole bodies were stiff and motionless, and then their orifices were bleeding and they were no longer alive. The sick lady turned her head left and right, as if appreciating her own masterpiece. She then crossed the highway and sped away into the distance.

Soon, the "mysterious female killer" disappeared while passing through a shadow, covering up the process of disintegration.

Let's back up. When the sick lady appeared in front of everyone, Zhuang Xuteng walked into the burning flames of the helicopter. He uses the disintegration effect to protect himself from high temperature damage in a short period of time. After entering the cabin, he went straight to Dr. Egghead, whose head was open.

This "corpse" was not set on fire, it just pretended to be dead. Dr. Egghead thought he could fake his death and at least persist until the effect of the shock wave disappeared, but he didn't know that there was such a thing as "Wraith Jelly".

"He's not dead, he acted very well." Zhuang Xuteng commented that the doctor's voice could not penetrate the disintegration effect and the sea of ​​fire, and he could only talk to himself. Through observation, Zhuang Xuteng believed that the "biochemical isolation suit" on the person in front of him had excellent protective effects and also had good resistance to shock waves. In the vision of the Shadow Eye, Dr. Egghead's implant is still functioning, and there are even signs of accumulating power.

It has to be said that Dr. Egghead's reaction was not slow. As soon as he saw the signs of Zhuang Xuteng's appearance, he knew that there was no problem. Either he had been exposed, or the other party had obsessive-compulsive disorder. No matter which way, the disguise was meaningless and the fight had to start immediately. !

Dr. Egghead immediately ordered the still-working implant to operate at full power. He was not good at hand-to-hand combat, but he had more than a dozen long-range attacks against other people's consciousness. Previously, he judged that the incoming enemy was proficient in assassination - he did not know that the one who came to kill was Nike. After all, the ambush mode of war shackles plus high speed and high bursts felt too much like a corporate assassin, not the style of a mercenary at all. Assassins have extremely strong melee capabilities and powerful mid-range weapons, which are really difficult to deal with. The doctor didn't dare to go out and fight him head-on. He could have hidden himself and carried out evil attacks, but he was detained in the cabin and couldn't see the battle outside at all, so he couldn't use those attack methods that could remotely destroy the opponent's consciousness.

He tried to counterattack as quickly as possible, but unfortunately Zhuang Xuteng would not lag behind others in terms of reaction speed. Before the doctor could finish accumulating his energy, Zhuang Xuteng took action and smashed the hammer into the doctor's open skull.

"Pretend to be dead? Let you pretend! Are you really dead now?" Zhuang Xuteng looked around. Although the Wraith Jelly and Shadow Eye confirmed that there were no living people in the cabin, he still touched up the wounds one by one: using the shadow gun to shoot from the eyeball Penetrate it and destroy the brain. Even the human shield man only has extremely strong eyelids. The eyes of the enhanced human are implants, which are mainly functional and cannot be used as protective equipment.

Considering that support might arrive at any time, and that flames and explosions destroyed most of the equipment in the cabin, Zhuang Xuteng really had no way to collect the loot. He sneaked out of the cabin, covered himself with the Thousand Eyes Cloak, and walked into the desert.

He will definitely have to return to the restaurant to create his own alibi, but stealing another car from the highway - even if the sick lady has created many unowned vehicles - will definitely be a problem with endless trouble under the surveillance camera. idea. Besides, the speed of the car could not meet Zhuang Xuteng's requirements, and he did have a faster way to move.

He called this method "Shadow Step." During the period when he was "ignorant and fearless", he used the disintegration effect to wrap himself up and successfully "fly". This was the origin of "Shadow Step".

Zhuang Xuteng believes that high-speed and high-burst implants wrap and protect the user with a quasi-disintegration effect in the early stages of activation, protecting them from inertial (acceleration) damage. This process can be prolonged. Putting the disintegration effect in front of you as a "shield" can basically eliminate wind resistance; put the disintegration effect under your feet, what is friction?

By setting "switches" for various external forces exerted on itself, the charging time and distance of high-speed and high-explosive attacks can be greatly extended. In the experiment in the shadow world, Zhuang Xuteng integrated levitation and other body skills, and used his sensory tentacles to explore the path in front, so that he could confidently and boldly charge "Shadow Step" for 2.5 kilometers in any direction - this is exactly the perception The maximum detection range of the tentacles, and he obviously cannot charge underground.

"When I was in the Shadow Realm, I was afraid of damaging the town's facilities, so I couldn't let go of the experiment. But outside the Wall of Sighs, I was worried about the company's spies, so I didn't dare to run around. Now I just use actual combat instead of comprehensive experiments." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed Rub your hands together to encourage yourself, then carefully control the disintegration effect, detect the situation ahead, and allow the high-speed and high-explosion implant to accumulate power.

"Shadowstep!"

Zhuang Xuteng's figure suddenly disappeared, just like every high-speed and high-explosion enhanced person does when fighting. However, his charge was farther away this time, and within the first seven hundred meters, he could not be seen at all.

His first afterimage appeared at about 700 meters, and the next one was around 1,200 meters away. Then the afterimages became more and more dense, until they were connected into a line at more than 100 meters. The reason why "Shadow Step" has the word "step" is mainly because as long as he doesn't want to turn into a rolling ball, he cannot completely wrap himself with the disintegration effect. The gravity that is not completely eliminated will still accumulate and change the trajectory of his actions. It was drawn into an arc, so he had to take a step at a certain distance to get his body off the ground. Of course, you cannot step on the ground during this step. You must step on the sole platform formed by the disintegration effect. It feels like stepping on your own shadow, so it is named Shadow Step. Zhuang Xuteng tried stepping on the ground. In addition to the disintegration effect on the ground, a crater was blasted out. He also immediately lost his balance and fell out with a groan.

Two thousand five hundred meters, arriving in a blink of an eye, Zhuang Xuteng has already begun to accumulate energy for the next high-speed and high-explosion. This forward "floating and gliding" movement method is mainly maintained by the disintegration effect and does not require the maximum power accumulation of the implant. Therefore, it can continuously perform lower power accumulation in a short period of time to continue moving forward.

At present, Shadowstep's driving efficiency is mainly limited by the maximum detection distance of the sensing tentacles, which is 2.5 kilometers. After using Shadow Step, Zhuang Xuteng moved too fast to maintain the sensing tentacles, and would directly "crowd" them. And unless he is in a completely flat environment, Zhuang Xuteng must clearly know what is on the way forward, and plan every step before starting the shadow step, and there must be no mistakes at all.

"Piu~" Zhuang Xuteng, who had grasped the situation ahead, used Shadow Step again and moved forward with the afterimage. This way of walking consumes a lot of mana and stamina, but it is really fast. Including the time to re-expand the sensing tentacles and detect the road conditions ahead, each 2.5 kilometers only takes about 20 seconds. If he ignores the risk of rollover and completely ignores the accumulation of side effects, Zhuang Xuteng can do a "shadow step" as fast as five seconds.

The instantaneous speed of this method of movement is faster, completely exceeding the first cosmic speed when rushing upwards, but it does not last long enough to truly leave the planet. Some enhanced people first use this ability to take off, and after reaching the air, they then use the abilities of other implants or shadow slaves to glide or fly, which is more convenient than helicopters. The only thing that limits enhanced people from doing this is the side effects of implants, and Zhuang Xuteng took advantage of this. He had already thought of a way to glide using levitation, but today he needed speed, not flying ability.

It disappears every 20 seconds and "flashes" to a distance of 2,500 meters. This is extremely fast and incredible to anyone. Zhuang Xuteng also knew that he was very fast, but in his heart, the object of comparison was Master Lich's teleportation. "That's called traveling thousands of miles in an instant. What does this mean to me? It's just a poor imitation at most."

In fact, the speed of long-distance movement on the ground is beyond common sense, even in the company's concept of strengthening people.

Zhuang Xuteng returned to the rest stop from the direction of Shaoyuan. He used stealth for the last distance and tidied up his clothes and makeup to remove the bloody traces of fireworks and battles. He rubbed his belly and took a walk, opened the door of the cafe with a relaxed expression, and waved to Officer Malov with a smile.

"Where did you go for a walk? Little Mary thought you were going to skip the bill."

"Just walking around." Zhuang Xuteng yawned and said, "By the way, I just saw a fire in the distance, and then a black smoke column rose. I didn't know what happened, so I looked at it for a while."

"Oh? Which direction?"

Zhuang Xuteng pretended to look at the sun outside, and gestured with his hands: "It should be in the northeast, right?"

"As long as it's not in the direction of the town." Officer Malov waved his hand to his partner and said: "We don't need to worry about such noisy matters. There is a clear notice from above, so we can just continue to rest. If necessary, the above will naturally... …”

Perhaps to prove that Officer Malov has the potential to become a crow's mouth - before he finished speaking, the walkie-talkie rang, and then there was a new order: "All police officers report their positions immediately. Ten kilometers away from the 4A78 overpass On-duty police officers immediately gathered along the highway toward Peicheng, east of the overpass. The on-duty police officers immediately returned to their posts and became a reserve team. Repeat..."

Officer Malov was stunned for a moment, then stood up immediately. His partner yawned and stood up a little slowly before receiving a gentle slap from him. Zhuang Xuteng put on the expression of a curious baby and asked what happened.

"It probably has something to do with the fire and the smoke column, or maybe... uh..." Officer Malov thought for a while and said, "Don't ask about this matter, we didn't say anything, do you understand?"

"Uh, I don't quite understand, but I don't think you said anything." Zhuang Xuteng smiled. Officer Malov patted him on the shoulder as he passed by, as if he had a tacit understanding.
