Chapter 423 Hub Zero

"Shangjing United Security Company also sent their team." Lila announced, "They took another secret path, and they may arrive at Hub Zero before us."

"Understood." Pan Ruiyi held the star gun tightly. She was the strongest, the biggest, and the fiercest, so she habitually stood in front. Even if she was uneasy, she still had to lead by example.

They are equipped with special underground exploration vehicles, an exploratory vehicle specially designed to climb over complex terrain, a total of six vehicles, and advance in narrow underground tunnels. These vehicles carry explosive materials in the center, and 101 and 102 are in the rear, guarding against attacks from the side and rear.

The Ratman Sentinels were exploring deep underground, and Lila's magic power of perception needed to be used wisely, and the three hired Rat Sentinels opened the way for the large army, shuttling through the rat crevices, searching for traces of the Crystal Man.

"Chirp." The rat man sentinel pointed forward, pointing out the threat in the gap.

Met the Crystal Man.

"Captain, shall we fight?" Zhang Yunxi hurriedly asked.

"I'll try, don't follow me." Pan Ruiyi carried the Starchaser gun deep into the darkness, turned on the lights on the armor, and the cone-shaped halo illuminated the circular tunnel.

Collapsed soil and rocks and scattered cracks are everywhere, as if the rock giant has a rusty intestine, all of which are flaws.

There were indeed crystallized people, but when they saw Pan Ruiyi's presence, they turned around and fled.

Pan Ruiyi turned her head to signal the others to continue to follow. She looked forward and saw that the tunnel was not going straight, but winding down a slope, as if leading to an unknown underground world.

"Are you still there?" Pan Ruiyi strode ahead, while talking to Xu Yang repeatedly in the channel built into the armor.

"I'm here, I'm here." Xu Yang kept communicating, and Pan Ruiyi sounded quite nervous.

Pan Ruiyi was not only nervous, but also lost half of her soul.

The underground claustrophobic environment is suitable for the crystal man, suitable for the rat man, but not for her. At this moment, Pan Ruiyi was not surprised why Wei Shiyue refused to go down to the burrow. She already felt that she was a hard-working witch, and even if she felt uneasy, it would be even more difficult for the pampered Princess Moon to adapt.

I really want to overcome myself and overcome my weakness! Pan Ruiyi thought silently while walking forward with her head buried. How can a war witch be overwhelmed by fear.

On the contrary, Xu Yang listened to the earphones for a long time without any movement, so he had to confirm: "How is it? Are you still there?"

"Here!" Pan Ruiyi continued to move forward, holding the spear tightly with both hands, just waiting for those crystallized people to appear suddenly, she would give them a hard blow.

I don’t know if that’s how it was originally excavated, or if the Ratmen or Crystalmen who invaded later transformed it, and the entire tunnel became narrower and narrower, so those cars couldn’t sit there anymore. Synthesizers jumped out of the cars one after another, and walked forward with explosives in their arms. .

The light tubes in their eyes glow with harmless white light, like a group of moving flashlights in the dark.

The cracks shrunk, the rocks overlapped, and the road ahead became narrower and narrower. Pan Ruiyi needed to chop left and right with a long spear to carve out a path in the rock crevices.

The Ratman Sentinel walked through these gaps without any hindrance, and passed through those gaps with a slight shrinkage. They were very happy to have such a powerful partner behind them, and they were full of confidence to explore the way forward.

Going deeper and deeper, gradually, the network communication with the ground became unstable. Xu Yang reported the direction to Pan Ruiyi, and he found a network access point, which was the maintenance station near the zero hub. available network interface.

Pan Ruiyi expressed his understanding.

After walking a little further, the communication was completely interrupted, as if she was disconnected from the whole world. Pan Ruiyi's heart was pounding, but she still walked forward, but every step was like stepping in fog and shadows, no matter how solid the rocky ground was, she could not move forward. Provide the slightest sense of security and make her feel like she's about to step out at any moment.

They came to a dark cave with no name and no skylight.

The entire underground tunnel became more winding and narrow, and her steel boots protected her feet, otherwise they would definitely be stabbed by these rugged rocks. She looked up, some cables and pipes were hanging on the top of Pan Ruiyi's head, and they were torn off by some huge force in the middle, and the sarcoma spread from it, bleeding profusely. Was it the Crystal Man who did it? Pan Ruiyi wasn't sure. Why would they bother tearing those cables.

Citizens who live comfortably can never imagine that there is such a weird place under their buttocks. Pan Ruiyi thought to himself. The mediocre people are protected by warriors desperately, ah, I am such an invincible warrior, I can kill whoever I want...

But she couldn't conquer the dark crypt in front of her, and couldn't make this annoying crypt bigger. The surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher. Pan Ruiyi felt breathless, and the whole world seemed to be a super compressor. Ready to crush her into a tiny piece.

Pan Ruiyi stopped and looked back, seeing that the whole team was moving forward firmly, and their performance was much better than that of Pan Ruiyi.

Synthetics don't know what fear is. Zhang Yunxi has always trusted Pan Ruiyi and has never stopped. Qianmeng, the youngest, is eager to prove that she is not weaker than other fighting witches. She looks at Pan Ruiyi as if she is still confused about why she stopped. 101 and 102 are highly concentrated at the end of the team and keep on guard. They have seen too much blood and flames in their short six-year life, and they have long become real fighters.

They were so determined that Pan Ruiyi was ashamed. A strong desire to prove herself surged up, she turned her head and continued to walk forward. In a few moments, she suddenly thought of the knowledge she had learned during the training, and realized that the reason why the tunnel suddenly became like this was entirely due to geological activities As a result, the topography of the northern archipelago was broken, and such randomly dug tunnels would be easily bent and twisted.

"There is a flash ahead, a flash." The Ratman Sentinel returned and pointed to the deep abyss ahead.

"...Knot, crystal man?" Pan Ruiyi didn't speak for a long time underground, and was speechless for a while when he opened his mouth.

"Yes, yes." The Ratman suspected that the big girl imitated the mice to make them look ugly, and his beard shook angrily.

"Okay, okay..." Pan Ruiyi was naturally unaware of such details, striding forward, only to see colored lights flickering in front of him, and several crystallized people were resting here.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the enemy, the crystal man rushed over angrily, and waved his crystallized arm at Pan Ruiyi.

With a cry, she lunged forward.

"Sunshine Slash!" She activated her magic power, swung the Star Chaser Spear, and quickly swept away the three crystallized people in front of her. They were smashed into the air and hit the rock wall heavily, making a muffled sound, but the crystallized coating on her body did not No hindrance.

"Aww-"

"I'll kill you!" The crystallized people quickly got up and besieged Pan Ruiyi.

She jumped forward and hit them on the head with a long spear. Although they didn't cause any damage, they greatly shook their bodies buried in the crystalline shell, causing them to appear in a dizzy state.

Seeing that this method of combat was effective, Pan Ruiyi fired multiple shots and repeatedly hit the heads of these crystal people. When they all fell down due to severe concussion, the crystals surrounding their bodies were still hard.

This place is like a warehouse, full of miscellaneous objects, many of which have been drained of magic, and the crystal bottles and holy grails have lost their luster. Pan Ruiyi asked the synthesizers behind him to take away the booty hidden by the crystal man and stuff them into their military carrying equipment.

Pan Ruiyi felt like she was sweating, what's wrong? she thought to herself. Are you sweating after such a little exercise?

The witch's armor was put on the tights that covered the whole body, and now this layer of sweat-absorbent and quick-drying jumpsuit has become sticky, and she felt strange smelling it herself, so she sat in a corner of the cave.

"The tunnel maintenance station is just below." 101 sensed that Pan Ruiyi was not in good condition, and used the farsighted orb to detect the situation. "I'll take you there first, and the others will follow in a while."

"Thank you." Pan Ruiyi reached out to shake hands with 101, and was quickly teleported to the maintenance station by her.

The maintenance station has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one has operated it for many years. Once the equipment is damaged, no one will maintain it. However, the uplink network module can still be used, and Pan Ruiyi is connected to the network interface on the wall.

"Are you okay?" Xu Yang asked.

"Very good." Pen Rui Yi muttered.

She looked around, and there were dark, huge transformer boxes everywhere, like black walls, with metal cables connected to the top, and all kinds of warning signs were pasted on the walls, as if it was a sin for her to be here. Abandoned vehicles are piled in the corner of the site, they must not have expected to be buried deep in the ground when they were built.

There are also pieces of meat, swollen pieces of flesh like blood vessels and tentacles all over the ground, sticky and disgusting, breaking through the ground from the mottled and fragile parts of the wall.

"It's okay, as long as..." Xu Yang said halfway through, when Pan Ruiyi saw that the indicator light of the network module in front of him turned red, and he didn't know what was wrong.

She unplugged the cable and turned to see the other team members coming down one by one.

"It's very close, just below." 101 kept looking at the situation with the reconnaissance orb. She wanted to make a quick decision, so she led everyone away from the maintenance site and drilled through a narrower gap. The clods of soil were shattered under her tremendous strength, making it easier for Pan Ruiyi to pass through with her steel wings on her back.

"It's almost there." Zhang Yunxi held his breath when he heard the muttering of the crystal man who was just a wall away below.

"Below is Hub Zero, where crystallized people hold parties." 101 squatted on the ground, observing with the orb, "I saw an ultimate crystallized person like a super leader, and... there is also a huge, very... ugly cocoons."

"I'm afraid Suzukawa Jiyi is hiding in the cocoon." Pan Ruiyi told the synthetics to put down the explosives. These things will open a big hole in the ground and lead directly to the zero hub. "I'll make a road, and you will follow."

Pan Ruiyi attached the moon-white flame to his star-chasing spear, and told them to move away as much as possible to avoid the danger of being smashed by stones. Then he personally pulled the lead wire, walked hundreds of meters away, and pressed the detonation button.

Boom—boom—

Through the helmet, I still heard a terrifying loud noise. The entire underground rock mass trembled and collapsed. Pan Ruiyi quickly felt that the world under her feet was empty. The power of the explosion was even more terrifying than she had imagined. Almost the entire rock mass in the space exploded. , her whole body fell downwards, and quickly fell in the center of hub zero.

"Invaders!" Great Elder Al Aliz was still reciting the prayer, and immediately saw Pan Ruiyi fall in the middle of the field, surrounded by at least a thousand angry crystallized colossi, crystallized men and crystallized turtlemen, the whole space was colorful, Pan Ruiyi couldn't see the direction clearly for a while.

"Get rid of her!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Crystal people rushed forward, ready to attack.

Pan Ruiyi entered the fighting state, and suddenly, she felt that all her confusion, tension and worries were swept away, and for her, the eerie underground world became another form, a place for her to display force and violence. The ultimate proving ground.

"Challenge with you—" Pan Ruiyi held up the star-chasing spear, "Come and die!"

Proud and dry cloud.

"We're coming too!" Zhang Yunxi, 101, 102, and "Sharp Soldier" synthesizers jumped down one after another from the cracks in the rock that exploded above her head, and were ready to kill the group of people. The crystallized people who were singing were completely annihilated, leaving no one behind!

Qian Meng squatted on the top of the crack, looking for threats with a sniper rifle.

The wriggling speed of the huge cocoon also became faster and faster, as if it had encountered something extremely frightening.

On the other side of Hub Zero, the troops of the Shanghai United Security Company, which had been in ambush for a long time, had also seen the situation. They had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for the people from Nisto Company to attack first, so that they could profit from it later.

"Look, that mysterious army is coming." Masato Kano, the master ninja, is also going to join the battle, watching the situation at this time, "This is your chance to wash away your shame, Samurai-kun."

"I can't plot against the enemy who is fighting." Quantum Warrior held Shiloumaru tightly.

"Are you talking about martial arts? Then why don't you just do it directly, but let us wait?" Masato Luye turned to look at the other security personnel behind him.

"... What the Lord wants is victory! Only the mysterious flames they carry can guarantee victory, and now the opportunity to win has arisen, attack!" The Quantum Warrior jumped out of his hiding place and led other security personnel to dispatch.

This guy's brain influenced a whole generation of combat synths. Masato Shikano watched the Quantum Warrior join the battle, and turned his head to see Pan Ruiyi who was fighting.

He wanted to attack Nistor Company to avenge the death of his disciples, so he made a formula in his hand and teleported to Pan Ruiyi's head.

"I'll help you!" Masato Lu Ye yelled so loudly, but actually spit out a mouthful of fire at Pan Ruiyi.

When Qian Meng saw this scene, she was startled, and hurriedly drove the time to stop.

Everything stops under time constraints!

Everything freezes!

Immediately afterwards, she aimed at Masato Kano and blasted the head of the ninja master.
