Chapter 340 The Meaning of ‘Z’
"The other party also has a resurrection item!" Lin Xue said.
This cross is obviously the effect of resurrection, and it is a different kind of resurrection item from the Phoenix Feather.
"Then kill again!"
Mu You said and looked at Vivian on Lin Xue's shoulder.
Vivian also understood what he meant, and directly helped him press the pocket watch, returning to the time before the kill, and re-rolling for the exploded items.
The killing process was repeated again and again, and all kinds of equipment and props had exploded along the way, but they were all ordinary items, and the truly valuable ones should have been bound.
A considerable part of the exploded items were soul stones. It seems that the other party had been collecting these stones along the way. The reason why he acted alone was probably to increase the efficiency of picking up soul stones, so he separated from his companions.
After rolling a hundred times, when the other party exploded the map fragment again, Mu You asked Vivian to stop pressing the watch.
No matter what, pick up the fragment first.
[Eternal Night City: Map Fragment 5. ]
Looking at the map he got, Mu You's eyes lit up. The other party actually took the number 5 fragment! This is a big profit!
But he didn't have time to look closely at this time. After getting the things, Mu You and Lin Xue immediately surrounded the cross one after another, ready to kill again.
A few seconds later, a ray of light bloomed on the ground, the cross disappeared automatically, and the light quickly condensed into a figure, which was the woman just now.
Mu You and the others had already prepared, and as soon as the person appeared, they immediately launched the attack in their hands.
However, the attacks of both of them finally fell into the air: the moment the opponent condensed, it immediately disappeared, and appeared in another direction A hundred meters away, then turned around and ran without looking back.
Obviously, the opponent had other life-saving props on him, which were automatically triggered when he was resurrected, and appeared directly a hundred meters away from the resurrection point, leaving enough distance to avoid being "guarded by the corpse".
Seeing the opponent running away, Mu You and Lin Xue naturally chose to chase.
Hong Xiu also understood that this was a time to race against time, and there was no time to look back. After running a few steps, he jumped high, and a flying broom automatically appeared in his hand. He stepped on the broom and quickly fled the scene.
However, before she could fly far, she suddenly felt her flying speed slow down, and she and her broom were pulled by a strong force and began to move backwards.
Looking back, she found that a silver metal device appeared on the chest of the robot in the distance, as if it was sucking her back like a magnet.
Hongxiu was shocked. Similar scenes had appeared twice before, which had caused her serious psychological trauma. Now the tragedy was about to happen again, so she hurriedly threw a handful of dispersing powder in the air.
Fortunately, the effect of strong magnetic attraction can be dispelled. Under the flying powder, Hongxiu's falling trend immediately stopped and she regained her freedom.
However, before she could turn the broom again, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the strange robot arm in front of her transformed into a machine gun, with the muzzle facing her, and a string of straight flames spurting out.
Hongxiu, who was hit, instantly became stiff and began to rotate in place, faster and faster.
The floating machine gun is another rare alchemical weapon that Mu You found in the Clockwork City. It is similar to the shotgun and is also a rapid-fire firearm. The difference is that the bullets fired by the floating machine gun will not be scattered, but will appear in a straight line.
The floating machine gun will fire 100 bullets in five seconds, and each bullet will make the target enter the floating state and rotate in place after hitting it. The ultra-high firing rate can ensure that the control will not be in the middle, so as long as one shot hits, all subsequent bullets will continue to hit.
On the surface, this weapon is a control skill that lasts for five seconds, which is not too strong, but don't ignore its rotation effect.
What is the concept of letting a living person rotate 100 times in five seconds? I'm afraid the brain will be shaken into paste!
As expected, Hongxiu was hit by a string of flames at this moment, spinning like a gyroscope in the air.
After five seconds passed, the bullets stopped, and Hongxiu had already turned so fast that she was dizzy, her stomach was churning, and she completely lost her sense of direction.
However, Hongxiu was not an ordinary person. She was extremely experienced in combat. At this moment when she was about to faint, she instinctively took out an item from her ring: the Soul-Calming Stone.
The effect of this stone in calming the soul and calming the mind finally stabilized her spirit quickly.
However, when she regained consciousness, she found that she did not fall to the ground, but was still floating in the air. Looking down, she found that the tin man with a sickle below was holding a magic wand at her, and the spell he released made her want to curse: Immobilization Curse!
At the same time, the weapon in the hand of the mecha man next to her had been replaced with an exaggerated hand cannon. The robot raised his hands diagonally, and the muzzle was facing her in the air, and at the front of the muzzle, a dazzling light was condensing.
Hongxiu felt a fatal threat from the muzzle!
However, she had no way to avoid it, and could only watch the muzzle become brighter and brighter until it fired.
The charged cannon, although not at its highest power, had been charged for nearly seven seconds, and the damage was enough to take away the defenseless woman in red, so Mu You stopped charging in time and fired.
White light flashed, and energy surged.
However, at the moment the cannon was fired, Mu You suddenly found that the woman in the air had disappeared, disappearing without any signs.
At the same time, the muzzle of the cannon in his hand was actually pointed at himself?
As Lin Xue screamed, the next moment, a dazzling beam of light engulfed Mu You. His entire body disintegrated and collapsed in the beam of light, and his health points were instantly reduced to zero.
The light of the cannon dissipated, leaving only a phoenix feather!
The feather quickly burned.
In just one second, Mu You, who had recovered to his original form, reappeared in the original place.
As soon as he was resurrected, Mu You hurriedly looked back and forth. At this time, Lin Xue had been blown away by some force, and his armor was emitting charred white smoke, and at least two-thirds of it was broken.
And Lin Xue's health points dropped from full blood just now to a red blood state, obviously he was seriously injured.
Having said that, although Lin Xue was injured, at least he was not dead, and he was killed instantly just now...
Mu You turned his head solemnly and looked in a certain direction dozens of meters away.
There, a man he had never seen before was holding Hong Xiu, and let go and put the frightened woman on the ground.
The ID on the other party's head also immediately confirmed the identity of this person: Z World Walker!
Although they had been prepared before, this guy might appear, so they hurried to kill one first.
But they still didn't expect that this guy's appearance would be so exaggerated. The sand spiders arranged by Mu You around him did not give him any warning.
The other party appeared without any signs, and reversed the situation in an instant, saving his companions while killing one enemy and leaving one disabled...
No wonder all those who went to chase him before died.
This person's ability is more perverted than imagined!
To be honest, even if Mu You had experienced it personally, he still couldn't understand how the other party could do so many outrageous things in an instant.
Just thinking about it, the light and shadow in front of him suddenly changed.
Mu You found himself back in the robot state, holding a cannon in his hand, aiming at the woman in red in the sky, and the light from the muzzle was already extremely bright.
Mu You immediately understood that this was Vivian pressing the pocket watch.
It was also a good opportunity for him to take a good look at what had just happened.
Mu You held up the hand cannon, looked around, and concentrated his mind, trying to find any clues about the z world walker.
But there was none!
Until the cannon was fired, there was no trace of anyone else around.
And the next moment, the woman above his head suddenly disappeared, and his muzzle turned to himself again...
The whole process was almost the same as before. Mu You died for the second time, and then reborn from the ashes.
The first time he looked back, Mu You did not get any useful information.
Fortunately, there was still a chance.
Not long after he was resurrected, Vivian pressed the pocket watch for him again.
As time passed, Mu You picked up the hand cannon again.
But this time, he chose to move the muzzle away from the woman and aimed at the position where the z world walker would appear next.
However, it was useless. He still did not see the scene where the z world walker appeared, and the muzzle returned to himself again at the moment of firing...
Next.
The fourth time...
The fifth time...
...
Vivian seemed to understand his thoughts very well, and she pressed the watch on time, so Mu You could repeat the five seconds again and again, constantly replaying the process of death.
However, no matter how hard he concentrated, he could not see the scene of the Z-world walker appearing. At the same time, no matter what he did, where he aimed the muzzle, or even stopped charging and firing in advance, the shells would always fall on him in the end.
As for canceling the bombardment or switching skins, these were impossible, because the charging had already begun, and he had to fire this shot first before he could do other operations.
In other words, under the current conditions, the ending of his death was fixed and could not be avoided.
So after 180 times of backtracking, Vivian stopped pressing the watch, and after Mu You died again, time began to flow normally.
Through these 180 times of backtracking, a full 900 seconds of observation and thinking time, Mu You confirmed one thing: the other party did appear suddenly in an instant, a moment shorter than teleportation. After all, even teleportation would cause spatial fluctuations in advance, but this person's appearance had no signs.
Moreover, at the moment the opponent appeared, he also killed him and disabled Lin Xue...
To be honest, Mu You always thought that the opponent used some kind of space transfer ability at first, which could instantly switch the position and state of matter.
But after going back several times, he soon found that it was not: being able to do so many things in an instant has nothing to do with space, because time is not enough, no matter how fast it is, it is not enough... Unless, he does not need time!
In addition, the opponent's ID, z world walker, does not need time...
Mu You suddenly understood something with a flash of inspiration.
The z in z world walker may not be an English abbreviation or a character to make up the number of words, but the first letter of a Chinese character.
This Chinese character is: 'stop'.
Z world walker!
A person walking in a static world, this is the true meaning of the opponent's ID.
Yes, the ability of the z world walker is probably to suspend time and be able to move freely in a stagnant world!
So the opponent can move instantly in the eyes of others...
So the opponent can change the position of others instantly...
So the opponent can always change the direction of his muzzle before firing...
So the other party can always kill people invisibly, leaving no one with the chance to escape or ask for help...
...
In a world where time stops, there are too many things that can be done.
And for this person, all of the above can be easily done by just pressing the thumb lightly.
"Finally realized it? The other party's ability..."
At this time, Vivian's voice quietly appeared in his ears.
Mu You turned his head and looked, there was nothing on his shoulder, but he knew that Vivian was standing on his shoulder invisibly at this moment.
"Did you know it a long time ago?" Mu You asked.
Vivian had divined for Lin Xue before, and at that time she obviously saw something, but didn't say it out. Now from what she said, it seems that she has already known the other party's means.
Mu You wanted to ask her if she had calculated the other party's ability when she was divining.
Vivian shook her head and sent him a voice message: "No, I just found out too."
"When I was fortune-telling, I just calculated that you will meet a very powerful opponent who can easily kill both of you. I don't know what this person's ability is... but this person's ability seems to be restrained by me, because as long as I am present at the same time, there is a chance to change your cause and effect."
"Restrained by you?" Mu You was stunned.
"For some reason, time-related abilities are ineffective on me, you know this." Vivian said.
When she reminded him, Mu You just remembered that his pocket watch has always been ineffective on Vivian. Every time he pressed the watch, while the whole world was reset, only his own and her memories could be saved.
"So you saw him activate his ability?" Mu You asked.
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes how he stopped time, how he entered the battlefield, how he turned your gun barrel, and how he prepared attacks that could seriously injure Xiaoxue from all angles. The reason why Xiaoxue is still alive is only because the opponent took too much time to cut into the battlefield, and he didn't have time to prepare more attacks, otherwise, it would have been a double kill just now..." Vivian said.
That is to say, when the other party paused time just now, only the Z-world walker and Vivian were still able to move at the scene, but from what Vivian said, she did not expose herself, but hid herself, as a bystander, witnessing everything the other party did.
"Wait, how long did he move in the world where time stopped?" Mu You asked this key question.
"Three minutes and twenty seconds."
"Damn!"
Mu You was shocked.
He thought that the ability of IMBA to pause time was enough to stop for a few seconds, after all, his pocket watch could only go back five seconds...
As a result, the other party could pause time for more than three minutes?
With such a long time, there are so many things that can be done!
At this time, the conversation between the two people on the opposite side was heard.
"Brother Nan, the fragments of Evernight City were taken away by them!"
After confirming that she was safe, Hongxiu patted her chest in shock, and then immediately complained to the man next to her.
"Haha, it's okay. When you get the inheritance of the God of Death, other sky cities will be useless to us."
The man smiled and comforted Hongxiu, patted her on the back, and pointed to the Skull Mountain in the distance.
"Go ahead, leave this to me."
"Then be careful."
Hongxiu gently warned, then turned back to look at Mu You and others on the opposite side, with a smug sneer on the corner of her mouth, and did not move forward, turning around and running towards the Skull Mountain.
Lin Xue saw Hongxiu leaving and subconsciously wanted to chase her, but was stopped by Mu You's eyes.
