Chapter 55
"Captain?!" Yaoguang was startled, "What are you doing?!"
Afraid that Ludwig wouldn't understand, she patiently explained: "You see, I'm not human, you don't use it to save me... " ...Shut up," Ludwig was holding a small knife and was slashing
the vines from her body, "I don't need to listen to these words!"
Blinking his eyes strangely, he closed his mouth: "...Okay."
Ludwig continued to chop off the vines, but those things continued to climb Yaoguang's body like weeds that were constantly reborn, not only that, but also gradually moved towards the road Dewish's body spread.
Yao Guang's eyes flickered.
If this continues, I am afraid that Ludwig will also be involved.
"Captain," she said, "you go."
Ludwig's fingers paused, but he ignored her and continued to chop down the vines with force.
Yaoguang pursed his lips and said, "I can't let you die to save me..."
"No?" Ludwig suddenly stopped, "No what?"
His eyes seemed to be burning with a cold gray flame.
Yao Guang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Can't let me die?" He fixedly looked at Yao Guang, "What about you?"
She...
Yao Guang blinked and said, "But... I'm a robot." For some reason, he was
thinking to Ludwig . When the word came out, it was far less easy than when he confessed to Shaotu, but Yaoguang took a deep breath and continued: "I have to protect you."
Although this is the protective mechanism in Yaoguang's body, but Inexplicably, she felt that there were still some reasons why she had to protect him.
Ludwig's slender eyebrows furrowed.
"Is that so?" He whispered, "But I also have to protect you."
Hearing this, Yao Guang raised his eyebrows in surprise, but heard him say the second half: "...because you are my team member. ."
He tilted his head, his exposed earlobes a pale pink.
Yao Guang blinked.
It always feels like... the second half of the sentence seems to be added on a temporary basis.
"But what are you going to do?" she asked. "They're targeting me, and they won't let me go."
She was more and more sure of this as the vines pulled her down.
Hearing this, Ludwig's lips pursed into a sharp straight line.
"It's okay," he said softly, "Leave it to me."
Yao Guang was slightly startled.
In the next moment, Ludwig suddenly pulled out his sniper rifle and shot at the entwined vines under the two of them: "Bang!"
His attack point was very close to the two, and the spark reflected from the ammunition instantly shot towards them It splashed in the direction of Yao Guang, but before touching Yao Guang, a pair of arms gently embraced her.
——Ludwig stood in front of her, and the sparks splashed on him, but he didn't touch Yao Guang at all.
Yaoguang watched his movements in astonishment, while Ludwig tightened his arms and hugged her tightly.
He whispered: "Be careful." The
vines were shot and sloughed off to both sides. The space under the two of them was empty, and they fell to the bottom in an instant.
Ludwig stretched out his hand and grabbed the vine on the side, the vine immediately entangled him, and he also took advantage of the situation, pulled the vine, and swayed the two of them high.
Yaoguang understood his intention. When the height of the two approached the gap, she kicked down hard, the vines snapped, and the two rushed towards the gap.
"Roar--!"
Seeing them fall into the gap, the black mud monster suddenly let out an unwilling roar, it raised its head, and suddenly spit out two black balls.
As soon as the black ball fell into the air, it immediately followed Yaoguang and Ludwig like two small torpedoes.
The two of them focused on the gap without realizing it, until the black ball was about to touch them, and they realized that something was wrong.
But it was too late.
The black ball slammed into the heads of the two of them, making a loud and crisp sound like a water polo exploding, but it did not shatter immediately, but gradually merged into their bodies.
Oops!
Ludwig suddenly realized something, and said solemnly: "Yao Guang...!"
Yao Guang closed his eyes, his head drooped softly, and fell on his shoulder.
Ludwig: "!"
He wanted to support Yaoguang, but the next moment, a sense of suffocation suddenly surged into his heart, he groaned lowly, his pupils suddenly lost focus, and he was like Yaoguang, Slowly closed his eyes.
The two fell into the gap.
***
[Sir! They have attacked! ]
[No... All the ERs have been captured, and we have no combat power in our hands. 】
【How can this happen... How could the House of Representatives allow such a thing to happen? ! 】
"Anyway," he heard his own voice sound like a cold steel knife into the conversation, "She is innocent, we must send her away."
Hearing this, everyone else fell silent.
After a long time, one person trembled and said:
[Then... I'll leave it to you. 】
【Please... sir, no matter what they say, she... Yao Guang... she is still our comrade-in-arms. 】
【Please protect her. 】
He didn't answer immediately, and after a few seconds of pause, he heard his own voice: "Well."
Immediately, everything fell into darkness.
"..."
"...!"
"Yao Guang!" On the
cold floor, the black-haired boy suddenly opened his eyes, the edges of his light gray pupils spread out, he stared at the straight lines on the ceiling, his chest panting violently like a blower, After exhaling a long breath, the senses of the whole body gradually gathered together.
He found himself lying on the cold ground with a thin incandescent lamp overhead.
"Luther?!" A man lay beside him and said excitedly, "You finally woke up!"
He couldn't help but startled.
Luther...
He lowered his eyes, yes, he is now Ludwig Adolf, a young first military academy student.
Ludwig rolled over and sat up, looking at Hai Jia who was kneeling beside him: "What happened?"
Hai Jia looked worried: "You haven't woken up since you came out of the arena," he pointed to the side, "Yaoguang is lying there."
Ludwig looked around and found that they were in the player's lounge, lying on the floor by themselves, and the only two low-foot sofas in the rest room were put together. The blonde girl lay quietly on it.
Seeing her, his breathing froze again.
"Are you alright?" Hai Jia whispered, "Wouldn't it be... ill again?"
"... It's okay," Ludwig shook his head, "Thank you."
Hai Jia: "?"
Wait a minute , Luther? Thank him?
……Grass! Did he hear it right? !
But when Haiga was terrified, Ludwig had already stood up, walked slowly to the sofa, and stopped.
He lowered his head and looked at Yao Guang quietly.
The girl lying on the sofa had a calm and soft face, her skin was as white as snow, her facial features were delicate, and the bones of her wrists, phalanges, and neck had a thin line of silver-white reflections. , seems to be broken.
From the appearance alone, she seems to be just a weak girl.
But no one knows better than him - as long as there is a battlefield where she is, humans can be invincible.
Ludwig squatted down, and pressed his hand lightly on Yao Guang's shoulder. Seeing this, Hai Jia asked, "Do you want Norman to take a look for her?"
Ludwig paused before realizing the entire room. There were only the two of them, and the others disappeared, so he said, "Where are the rest?"
"They went to find someone." When it came to this, Hai Jia showed a complaining expression, "I don't know what happened, There is no one in the arena, could it be that the game has been interrupted early?"
Ludwig was stunned: "No one?"
"Yes." Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the door.
Turin and Norman walked in, followed by Maozhi and Shaotu.
Turin crossed his hands, clasped his chest, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The entire arena is empty, not even in the auditorium."
Norman continued: "We wandered around in other places, including the live broadcast room. There is also a staff area, but many places are locked, and no one is seen."
Hai Jia was shocked: "How many thousands of people! Where can they go?"
"The strangest point," Turin irritated He tugged at the broken hair that fell on the side of his face, "The entrance to the arena is locked. I tried it. It's a third-level lock, and I can't open it."
Hearing this, Ludwig couldn't help frowning.
The three-level lock is generally used in the reserve room or control room for storing important data and energy. How can such a safety lock be used at the entrance of the arena now?
He thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Where are Gaius and the others?"
Turin shrugged: "They want to see if there is any other way out, and now they are looking for it in the arena."
Ludwig pursed his lips and glanced at the He glanced at the clock on the wall.
It was ten fifteen in the evening.
It took more than two hours from when they encountered the virus to when they escaped from the arena. However, the time flow inside and outside the competition is different, and the time flowing inside and outside the competition will be three to five times faster.
That is to say, if the audience can watch the live broadcast normally, it has been more than 20 minutes since they saw the system bug.
But the question is, first, whether the virus has tampered with the live broadcast record.
Second, when did the audience leave the venue? Is it voluntary or compulsory? And is there any unexpected situation, such as finding that a virus has invaded
the third... Ludwig suddenly lowered his head, and his hand on Yaoguang's shoulder tightened.
If the audience's departure is really related to the virus, then - who is the person who spread the virus?
"Luther."
"...Luther?"
Ludwig woke up from a dream and raised his head: "...what?"
"I'm going to the preparation room below," Turin said, "Ye is still there. If I don't wake up, I have to fix it first."
The atmosphere here is so weird, Ah Ye is a comrade who has followed her for many years, and without it's company, she is so nervous that she is going crazy.
Hai Jia disagrees very much: "Isn't it necessary? We can go out first, the equipment here is poor, can you fix it?"
"No," Turin categorically refused, "I would die without Aye."
Hai Jia: "..."
He looked at Norman reproachfully, it was all the bad temper he was used to!
Norman: "..."
Haigga turned to Ludwig, trying to seek his support. Unexpectedly, Ludwig pondered for a moment and said, "Alright."
Haigga: "???"
"You..." He couldn't believe it, " Are you mistaken? Isn't it time to get out?" Before they left the arena, there should be a lot of players left, what if they are still trapped inside?
Ludwig seemed to see what he was thinking, pursed his lower lip, and said, "It's alright."
He said a word without beginning and end: "If it were him...it wouldn't involve humans.
" : "?"
He couldn't help but ask: "What did you say?"
But Ludwig stopped speaking, and turned to Turin: "Go on."
Turin nodded, and was about to leave, But Ludwig stopped them again: "Wait."
He stepped forward and handed a small plasma pill to Turin: "Take this."
Turin was stunned, and said in surprise, "For me? "
Ludwig said briefly: "Self-defense."
Hearing this, several people exchanged looks of astonishment.
Self defense?
This is the training ground that the alliance belongs to, and the security facilities are top-notch. Why do you need self-defense?
Turin frowned and withdrew his hand: "No need..."
But Norman seemed to understand something and took it for her: "Okay."
Ludwig nodded to him, and said: "Cat Zhi and Turin are a group, Shaotu, you stay."
Shaotu didn't seem to expect Ludwig to call his name, and hesitated for a while before hesitating: "...Me?"
Ludwig said : "After coming out, have you activated the mechanical beast?"
"No," Shaotu's attention was distracted, "I was worried that the virus would be brought to the outside world, so I never let Lobi move."
Hearing this, Ludwig glanced at him.
"Very good," he praised lightly, "Now bring your mechanical dog and come with me."
He bent down, put his arms through Yao Guang's arms and ribs, and gently picked her up.
Turin couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"
Ludwig paused, "To repair."
"?" Turin looked at his back and said to Norman doubtfully, "Then come with us. Wouldn't it be alright?"
Norman couldn't understand, he could only say: "Let's go first." In the
silent
corridor, only two slow and one haste footsteps were heard, Ludwig was holding Yaoguang in his arms. Walking in front, Shaotu followed behind him in small steps.
"Captain... Please wait!" Shaotu quickened two steps, blocking Ludwig's body.
He took a deep breath and said, "Shouldn't we send Yaoguang to the infirmary first? The convalescent barn there should still be used..."
Ludwig interrupted him: "No," he used the pair of cold His gray-blue eyes stared at Shaotu, "I'll repair Yaoguang."
Hearing this, Shaotu's pupils shrank suddenly.
Ludwig took a look at his expression, paused, and said, "You know she's a robot."
He used a declarative sentence.
Shaotu couldn't help being surprised, and forced a smile: "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Ludwig glanced at him and sighed softly.
He suddenly freed up a hand and stroked Yaoguang's face, an astonishing scene happened - the smooth skin on Yaoguang's face suddenly faded away, revealing the silver-white metal layer underneath, and the surface was still glowing like blood vessels blue light.
Shao Rabbit: "!"
He widened his eyes: "You...what did you do?!"
"It's just to remove her mimicry," Ludwig withdrew his hand, Yaoguang's face returned to its original state, "Do you believe it now?"
Shaotu stared at him suspiciously.
He seemed to be full of questions, but when the words came to his mouth, he could only say one sentence: "How...how did you know Yaoguang's background?"
Hearing this, Ludwig's eyes flashed.
He whispered, "Because I am her maker."
Shaotu was stunned, and was about to speak, when Ludwig suddenly turned and stopped in front of a wall.
Seeing that he didn't move, Shaotu hesitated and asked, "Isn't it going to repair Yaoguang?"
"Well," Ludwig said, "it's right here."
He stretched out his hand, his slender fingertips Go down the wall and gently press down on a raised place.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the wall suddenly boiled like boiling water, and a hole that was as tall as a person was exposed.
Shaotu gasped: "This is...?!"
Ludwig said concisely: "Go in."
He took a step forward and quickly passed through the iris lock. The alloy door made a loud noise and opened to both sides.
Ludwig raised his foot and left, and Shaotu regained his senses and quickly followed.
The space inside the door is not large, but the walls and floor are covered with a layer of dark black metal, reflecting a special luster. Shaotu crouches down hesitantly: "This is... an anti-ionization induction alloy?"
Luther Wei Xi had just put Yaoguang on a platform, and when he heard the words, he turned his head slightly in surprise: "Do you know?"
Shaotu was somewhat Hao Ran: "I have read a lot of books and can recognize most of the metal materials.
" Unexpectedly, Ludwig praised him: "Yes, very hardworking."
He turned and said: "If you are in this room, you can block most of the detectors and monitoring."
Hearing this, Shaotu couldn't help but be stunned.
Listen to Ludwig, do they need to hide from someone?
He hesitated and was about to ask, but when he saw Ludwig taking off Yaoguang's shirt, he immediately raised his voice: "Captain?! What are you doing?!"
Ludwig's hand paused, Glancing at him: "I need to check her CPU."
Yaoguang's CPU is on his chest, if you take it off, you have to take off your shirt.
Shaotu understood that he wanted to change his mind, his face flushed instantly, and he stammered: "Okay...Okay." "Don't stand there stupidly
," Ludwig said, "bring your mechanical dog here."
The rabbit looked puzzled and approached the workbench: "Do you need Lobby?"
Ludwig took off the leather gloves and put on a pair of double-leather protective gloves. Rabbit put Robi up: "I want to clean up the virus in its body, you can watch from the side."
Shao Tu hurriedly said: "Okay!"
He gently placed Robi on the workbench, next to Yaoguang , Ludwig put on the goggles and turned on the CPU of both of them.
Shaotu was stunned, he wants to repair two at the same time?
Although Ludwig didn't look at Shaotu, he seemed to understand what he was thinking and said without raising his head: "We don't have that much time, come up and help me.
" Strict that could not be refused, when Shaotu regained his senses, his feet had automatically stepped forward, and his hands were wearing protective gloves.
Ludwig tapped Lobi: "Open its central processing unit and check if there are any abnormal chips in it."
When pointing at Shaotu, he also held a small pair of tweezers and carefully moved Yaoguang. The dense wires in the chest.
Shaotu nodded hurriedly: "Okay."
He is the maker of Lobby, and he is naturally very familiar with its structure. In no time, he found an abnormal chip: "I found it." The
chip was originally golden, but now Half of it was charred black, and when it was a little closer, there was an unpleasant smell.
"Cut off the virus-contaminated part," Ludwig said, "and solder the two wires together."
He pointed at the two wires in the Lobby CPU, and the rabbit was stunned. He subconsciously said: "But... if the chip is cut off, wouldn't the central processing unit not be able to run?"
"I will rewrite its program later," Ludwig said, "reduce its computational load, and then restart it again. Arrange the current path so that the central processing unit can still operate for about ten hours before replacing the new chip."
Shaotu had never heard of this solution, and couldn't help but be stunned.
If you want to write a mature control program, you need at least a few hours of calculation, but according to Ludwig's meaning, does...he wants to calculate it now?
How can a normal person do this? !
Shaotu held the tweezers and stared blankly at the boy in front of him.
Ludwig noticed his gaze, turned his head, and his gaze fell on him lightly: "What are you waiting for?"
"...!" Shaotu returned to his senses, lowered his head hurriedly, and began to carefully remove the chip with tweezers , "I'm sorry."
When he was ready, Ludwig also dealt with Yaoguang. He closed the switch on the chest for the girl, and his movements were gentle, like a lover's touch.
Shaotu looked at this scene with a few surprises on his brows.
Ludwig came to him.
"Pay attention to the program I rewrote," he said to Shaotu in a low voice, "wait for you to go to Turin. If she fails to clean up Ah Ye's virus, write the program to her."
Shaotu asked: " Then why don't you just let her come over?"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he realized that he had asked a stupid question.
——Of course, Turin can't come over, otherwise Yaoguang's identity will be exposed.
But Ludwig said: "There can't be too many people in the surveillance at the same time, he will be suspicious."
Shaotu was stunned, TA?
"Okay, time is running out," Ludwig said. "You see, the reprogramming of the CPU is like this."
He quickly entered a string of codes into Robbie's CPU, if it weren't for Shaotu Excellent memory, almost could not memorize it.
Ludwig stopped and asked him, "Have you remembered everything?"
Shaotu nodded, and recited the code just in case.
Ludwig's eyes showed a few compliments: "You did a good job, now try to activate your mechanical beast."
Shaotu couldn't help but also showed a little smile, just activated the switch of Lobby, suddenly there was a slight sound from the door. tap.
The room was already quiet, and the knocking sound naturally fell into the ears of the two of them.
Shaotu was surprised: "Is there someone outside?"
A hand suddenly covered his mouth, Shaotu was startled and turned back suddenly, Ludwig made a silent gesture to him.
"Back to the back," he said silently, "pay attention to Yaoguang..."
"Bang!" Before he could finish his
sentence, a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the door!
The intense airflow swept the entire room in an instant, Shaotu was photographed directly on the wall, while Ludwig took a few steps back and blocked the Yaoguang on the workbench with his body.
Shaotu struggled to get up: "What... what?!"
But he just saw the scene in front of him, and the blood flow all over his body seemed to suddenly freeze.
——A tall black-gold robot stood against the light, it turned on its weapon form, its right hand transformed into a huge energy cannon, and the large mouth of the bowl was pressing against Ludwig's eyebrows.
Shaotu trembled: "How...will...?!"
Isn't this Ludwig's Thanatos? Why is it here? !
The author has something to say:
Begin to slowly uncover the mystery.
