Chapter 25 Assassination, Search, Lost
Four o'clock, "forbidden area".
At this time, the battle between Qiu Zhengichi and Hunter had become increasingly fierce, and the two of them had equal strength.
In terms of advantages: Hunter is stronger in combat instinct and has many abilities; while Qiu Zhengichi is stronger in rich combat experience and calm judgment.
In terms of disadvantages: The body of the Hunter who had just swallowed several high-intensity DNA is still unstable, and his brain is still in a state of inconsideration; while Qiu Zhengichi has lost his sense of touch and can only use at most 80% of his strength (if the last 20% is used, he himself cannot control the scale of "destruction").
The two fought for ten minutes, but the rhythm did not decrease but increased. The battle became faster and more intense. The changes in ability and the attack and defense were also dazzling.
If their battlefield was not the most solid "forbidden zone" in the entire Nine Prisons, it would have been razed to the ground for a few miles.
"It's not good..." Finally, after another round of close combat, Qiu Zhengichi came to a very bad conclusion in his heart - if he continues to fight, he may lose because he is exhausted.
Although in the EAS test system, the physical strength of the crazy-level abilities has been proven to be "close to infinite", it is only relative to the amount of exercise of ordinary people; when two crazy-level abilities with equal strength start a fight, the speed of physical energy consumption is actually not much different from that of ordinary people.
And we all know... Normally, two people are highly focused and keep fighting against each other for more than ten minutes, which is already the intensity of the confrontation of professional boxers.
The same is true for the battle of the capable person. After fighting for the past ten minutes, Qiu Zhengichi was already tired at least in his body.
But... Hunter doesn't seem to have this problem.
This is all caused by differences in the "physical energy recovery mechanism".
As we all know, people need "fuel" when exercising, such as glycogen, salt, moisture, etc. Most abilities who are non-constitutional variants still have to follow this rule; however, when the energy in the body of the abilities reaches a certain amount, the body will automatically replace or suppress these consumptions with energy, because "energy" is a better and more efficient fuel.
The reason why high-level abilities have physical energy far beyond ordinary people is that they have more energy, purer, and faster recovery.
However, as I said just now, when two abilities start a war, the situation changes... For the body, the priority of "need to fight" must be higher than "hypoglycemia too low"; if energy is used continuously during the battle, or intermittently bursts of energy, their bodies will naturally feel "tired".
But Hunter is different. Now he has at least five "physical mutation" abilities, so he can use purely "physiological mechanisms" to solve the problem of consumption. In addition, he is currently in a "thoughtless" state, and his mental power consumption is also zero.
If this battle continues, both physically and mentally, the first thing that will collapse will inevitably be Akichi.
"It's over..." After walking back and forth with the other party a few more times, Qiu Zheng finally made up his mind, "Do it..."
He, this is clearing the accounts.
He knew that the invasion of the Nine Prisons today was different from any of his past experiences. The scale and comprehensive preparations were unprecedented.
He also knew that the more than ten minutes of entanglement with the Hunter here were enough for the prisoners above who had recovered their supernatural powers to escape far away, and someone might have even gone to the other end of the world.
He also knew that at this moment, it was impossible to "quell the situation and keep the losses within a certain range". Even whether he could save his life and escape from this place of right and wrong would have to be questioned.
To sum up, Qiu Zhengyi decided to... use his fist to release tens of his power to the hunter.
The worst result of this move is that the impact force reaches the core of the earth, causing the planet to explode... Of course, that's just a theory, and the possibility is infinitely close to zero.
The more likely result is: the hunter died, and the entire Nine Prison began to collapse from this bottom. In this way, most prisoners and invaders who have not escaped from the wall of the abyss will be buried with the Nine Prison, and Aki Masaichi can also recover his sense of touch, and then forcefully use his ability to break a passage and escape from the sky.
Considering the current situation, this is an excellent ending. Anyway, it is better than all the prisoners in the entire prison to escape...
Bang—
The next second, Qiu Zheng stepped down and jumped up suddenly, looked down at the ground, pulled his arms and clenched his fists.
On his right fist, the "destruction" force gathered violently, and the violent energy made a burst of strange noises.
When Hunter, driven by combat instinct, saw this scene, his body immediately curled up honestly and formed a diamond-shaped carapace outside his skin, which looked like a crystal dung beetle.
"All... destroy it all!" After all, it was an unpredictable blow. Qiu Zhengichi himself was also nervous. He whispered to himself and swung the punch to the ground.
Unexpectedly! At this critical moment...
Time has stopped.
In the few seconds when the whole world stopped, Jack skillfully flipped down from the hole in the ceiling of the "forbidden zone", tapped the wall with his foot, and bounced towards where Qiu Zhengichi was.
At the end of time, he happened to approach the other party.
Bang bang bang-
This is the sound that Qiu Zhengichi "heard" when time flows again.
It is obvious that this is gunshot - not from the ears, but from the sound of gunshots directly from the inside of the skull.
When Qiu Zhengichi couldn't react at all, Jack penetrated the three special "dark alloy (alloy directly made from "doomsday stone" and was stronger than net alloys. The net alloy can only be regarded as "dark alloy with incomplete formula")" bullets from Qiu Zhengichi's brainstem and hit his brain.
In the same second, a sleeve sword wrapped in energy cut off Qiu Zhengyi's wrist.
This is the "Killing God". He either does not do it or does it thoroughly and neatly... Even if it is "the body still instinctively swings its fist out at the moment of being shot" is eliminated by him.
A few seconds later, Qiu Zhengichi's body fell to the ground, and Jack suddenly fell down. After a few seconds, Uncle Xue also crawled from the ceiling, looked at the situation on the scene, and said in a complaining tone: "It's easier than I thought."
Today, this is actually their "ultimate mission" - Jack is responsible for "assassinating Qiu Zhengichi", while Uncle Xue is "insurance after the assassination failed."
"Ao--" It seems that the Hunter in the distance did not intend to give them a chance to chat. As soon as Qiu Zheng died, he immediately re-opened his body, changed from "full defense posture" to normal, and screamed at the two new "prey" that appeared in front of him.
…………
At the same time, in the women's prison, the third prison, "The Yellow Spring Chasing Ghosts".
Pong-
A man's leg kicked open the welded alloy vent baffle.
Then he jumped out of it.
He was a young man with blue hair. He looked only about twenty years old. He was born with a pretty face and long hair draped over his shoulders. However, there was a sense of vicissitudes between his eyebrows that were obviously inconsistent with his age.
His name is Clauze Witstoke, the person Lilia brought back from the "underworld".
More than twenty minutes ago, he and Lilia came back from the Gate of Underworld; after coming to this world, Lilia just briefly explained to him for a few minutes, and he quickly understood what was happening.
At that time, the "neutralizing agent" had not spread out in the ventilation system, but Crowze, who had never taken medicine at all, went over and destroyed the hunter's cage.
Then, at Crowze's suggestion, Lilia took a needle of spare neutralizing agent from the box and gave it to the Hunter. Then they left Hunter alone in the restricted area, and themselves blasted a wall and sneaked into the ventilation duct.
Crowze's superpower seems to drive the "wind", so it is very convenient for him and Lilia to move in the ventilation duct. They are basically like two "human-shaped magnetic levitation trains" and can freely and quickly pass through the well-connected ducts.
In the next ten minutes, Crowze only left the pipeline once. Because he had not even had a pair of shorts on his back from the underworld, he had at least picked up a set of clothes to wear. Of course... When he was naked, Lilia, a hardcore feminist, did not express any objection to this, and even glanced at him with a vulgar uncle-like look from time to time, just chewing the tobacco leaves, and then said "NICE".
Crowze did not respond to Lilia's behavior. After all, his actual age is much older than his appearance. No matter what Lilia does in front of him, he basically has the same idea - "I can't understand the young people nowadays."
To put it short, after using the wind to move and search for a while, they found that the shadow weaving of neutralizing agent spreading layer by layer in the ventilation duct.
With Clauze's help, this job naturally doesn't have to be so troublesome. He can directly use the ability of "wind" to evenly spread the neutralizers into the entire Nine Prisons.
After getting these things done, they happened to see two prisoners carrying Nini outside the ventilation duct. At the request of Kageori, they came out of the pipe.
After inquiring, they learned that the prisoners in the first prison rushed to their own lives as soon as Qiu Zheng was "dragged away"; these people were basically strong-level and fierce-level abilities, and it was not difficult to break the building after recovering their abilities.
As for the two people in front of them, although they claimed that they brought Nini with them to escape because of "being grateful and having affection and righteousness", Clauze quickly learned the real reason during the conversation... These two people, one is a political prisoner and the other is a scientist, neither of them is capable. Without knowing what the above layers are, and without the help of those who are capable, they obviously have little confidence in the escape. Therefore, they carried Nini. If they could find any medical means, or if they could recover by themselves, they would have a backer... And if they encountered any changes, they could hand over Nini as a "bargaining chip".
Crowze saw through these thoughts, but he did not say them out. He just told the two of them that "the passage to escape from prison has been unobstructed and you can go up with confidence", and then said, "We can take over this alien."
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances, then accepted them all, said a few thanks and left.
They are all smart people, and they know that they have no room for bargaining in front of capable people. Since they give you face and ask you to leave politely, then leave quickly.
Clauze and the others returned to the ventilation duct with the dying Nini and went directly to the exit layer through this "shortcut".
…………
On the other hand, the female prison side, the sixth prison, "Yuequan Defeats".
Like the men's prison side, the "Four, Five, Six" and the three prisons here are also on the same level.
Due to the large gap in combat power among the members of the Investigation of Women's Prison, the two members of the Anti-Cross and Kaijiu had already passed by this floor early and rushed to the bottom floor.
Although the remaining three people, Che Wuchen, Feng Wuhuan and Meng Weihan, came to this level at the same time, for some reason... they were separated.
At this moment, in this sixth prison, Che Wuchen was walking alone.
On the dark floor, the red alarm lights were still on, but the alarm sound had already stopped.
Che Wuchen walked slowly between the prison guard's body and the wreckage of the building, and his alert eyes swept through one dark corner after another.
A few minutes ago, he realized that he had encountered an enemy.
Agent Che is a person who is used to preparing fully before acting, which is also the quality that a professional undercover should have. So before today's action, he remembered the architectural structure of each floor of the Nine Prisons; now, according to his calculations, after coming to this floor, the distance he had passed far exceeded the range recorded on the drawings, and the heavy air around him, filled with strange atmosphere, also exuded a unique texture of "energy".
"Xiaochen, is it you?"
In the darkness, a call suddenly sounded.
The voice of a woman, the familiar voice.
"Xiaochen, have you come to us?"
Then, there was the man's voice.
Che Wuchen soon heard it. This was the voice of his parents who had been dead for many years.
So he followed the sound, turned around and turned around.
Sure enough, two figures that were exactly the same as those in their memory were already standing behind him just two meters away.
His parents still looked like he was when he was a child. They looked young and dressed very ordinary. However, their faces looked very pale, which was not the kind of white that "people" should have.
Chapter completed!
