Skynet In Another World

Chapter 174 Metal Plague

This is a lonely humanoid wild beast wandering on the northern tundra.

The run-down clothes can vaguely recognize the mark of Red Mountain Sword Sect Outer Disciple.

The stiff and broken body, only a relatively intact arm, on his body large and small has dozens of wounds bitten by Unknown Creature.

unimaginable, the Outer Disciple of Red Mountain Sword Sect was so badly injured, the blood within the body was probably already drained, and he hadn't died yet.

The black azure face, the horny scaly mutation on the bare skin, a pair of dull and incomparable green eyes, and sharp fangs grow in the mouth, unimaginable in this Red Mountain Sword What happened to Sect's dísciple.

At this time, he can hardly be called a human.

The angle of view continues all the way to the north, and in a depression, a strong breath of life occupies here. As far as I can see, it is a terrifying scene.

Under the frozen ground, azure metal arms stretched out. The half rotten flesh and half metal arms were scratching and struggling in the air. Obviously, they were on the ground here. There are some terrifying things underneath, trying to break free from the restraints.

Not far away, some shallow pits were empty, where there should have been some restraints, but at this time the thing had already escaped.

"ka-cha ……ka-cha ……pu chi huh..."

The frozen soil is cracking and cracking, just between the breaths, and there are not far away Several shaky bodies broke free from the frozen ground.

Look carefully at the appearance of these figures, and they look exactly the same as the Outer Disciple of the Red Mountain Sword Sect who wandered alone before.

There has been a large area of ​​metalization on the body surface, and humanity no longer exists in these people. The instinct of animal desire drives them to migrate to the warmer and more abundant south.

These humanoid metal beasts seem to have extremely sensitive sensing capabilities.

At this time, if Hong Ji was here, he could recognize at a glance that the symptoms of these people were clearly the late symptoms of infection with the metal virus.

Hong Ji once analyzed the strong infectivity of metal viruses. Once the metal virus infection of ordinary person within the body exceeds 5%, it is irreversible.

Metal viruses will spread metal viruses throughout the body after occupying five percent of the organism’s organic tissues. Once the metal virus spreads throughout the living body.

The spread of metal viruses throughout the body even exceeds the harm of cancer cell proliferation. Cancer cells can at least be restrained and killed by human medicine.

Life cells that can be infected by metal viruses are essentially no longer organic organisms. Metal viruses can be called metal life.

It is the third category besides carbon-based life and theoretical silicon-based life: metal-based life.

The medicine of carbon-based life is naturally impossible for metal-based life, and as far as Hong Ji is concerned, too little is known about metal-based life.

Hong Ji knew that Red Mountain Sword Sect had discovered an Ancient Ruins in the Northern Domain, which was under secret development at this time. The earliest metal virus Hong Ji was extracted from Peng Xu.

Although there is no direct evidence to show that, Hong Ji has an intuition that the primordial body of the metal virus must come from the Ancient Ruins in the Northern Domain.

Unimaginable, Hong Ji, such a purely mechanical body, would actually believe his intuition.

"What's wrong with me?"

Sometimes even Hong Ji is a little weird, what happened to him during the time travel.

As a machine, she has more and more emotions and personality that only humans can have.

Such as anger, joy, occasional stubbornness and laziness,...

People's hearts and emotions that were once incomprehensible, Hong Ji has become more sensitive to the heart after entering, and once dismissed it. For the natural world, Hong Ji will actually praise it for its unique majesty!

All these changes have surprised Hong Ji. She doesn't know whether these changes are good or bad for her.

But at least for now, Hong Ji still enjoys her changes.

"Maybe it's not bad to be a mechanical body that is not so cold!"

Hong Ji in the heart muttered to himself.

At present, the only thing that still troubles Hong Ji is: "Who am I?"

Yes, who is Hong Ji? This seems to be an extremely simple The problem, but it involves a higher level of self, id, and superego cognition.

A question that has to be avoided. In this world, Hong Ji always feels familiar in this era. It feels like she is not here for the first time.

In a certain corner of this world, there are certain existences. They may be enemies or friends. They are hiding in the shadow corner of this World, and they seem to be planning something!

……

No one knows that a terrible metal plague capable of destroying the entire world has begun to spread in the extreme Northern Domain, and the source of all this is only because of the Red Mountain Sword Sect. Opened a Pandora's Box that was sealed in the Northern Domain for an unknown number of epochs.

……

"Sect Master! Sect Master, dig to the entrance!"

A hidden place in the Northern Domain, Red Mountain Sword Sect A huge temporary fortress was built here.

Thousands of slave laborers with shackled feet buckled one by one, numbly repeating the mechanical excavation in the cold wind and snow.

An Anglong corridor, inserted diagonally into the frozen soil of the far north. The tunnel was excavated purely by hand, unimaginable, what a huge price it would be for the slave workers to dig such a deep tunnel on the permafrost in this extremely harsh Northern Domain.

You can be rude, at least one slave worker’s life will be killed every time the tunnel goes down one meter. At this time, the tunnel is bottomless, and there are still hills high on the outside. Strange soil closure.

Speaking of the strangeness of the sealing soil, it is because the sealing soil, which was originally white and flawless like gypsum, will decay and turn black in an extreme time after being excavated, and finally turn into a pool of black sacrificial paste-like mixture

The forbidding black rotting water gives people an extremely ominous aura. The facts have indeed proved that any slave laborer who comes into contact with the black rotting water too much will be infected with a terrifying plague.

This kind of plague does not seem to be fatal, but this kind of non-fatality is even more terrifying. Human beings will be eroded by the plague and eventually become a living dead with only animal instincts.

If it’s just the living dead, it’s okay to say. What’s even more difficult is that even an ordinary worker who is infected with this plague will eventually become a monster with a hardened body. Unprepared at first, many dísciples of Red Mountain Sword Sect were infected by workers.

A person who is infected by a metal virus, even if it is beheaded to pieces, the broken limbs will not die immediately.

Red Mountain Sword Sect has suffered from these metal plague infected people, and paid a very heavy price all the way to finally break through the terrible sealing layer and find the entrance to the ruins.

When his subordinate dísciple had finally found the entrance to the ruins, in the great hall of the temporary fortress, a human figure hidden in the cloak slowly raised his head.

Vaguely, the dísciple clearly saw what his Sect Master looks like now.
