Mechanical Flesh

The convoy moved forward all the way. On the third day, the convoy was about to enter the most dangerous red zone, and the speed of the convoy also slowed down. Each vehicle activated its energy shield, which suppressed all the energy fluctuations, breath, and sounds of the vehicle. Isolated from the outside world.

The strong man in the sanctuary has opened up a safe route in this area, and will regularly drive away the insects and beasts entrenched on the road, and leave behind his own high-level aura to declare his sovereignty and deter other insects and beasts.

The stronger the worms, the stronger their territorial awareness. Under normal circumstances, the high-level worms in the wilderness sense the breath left by these high-level powerhouses and will actively avoid them.

But not all worms are so sharp. Some bloodthirsty middle-level elite worms will not be stopped by these residual breaths at all. As long as they find their prey, they will take the initiative to attack.

Although the strength of the team is sufficient to deal with the attacks of the middle-level elite insect beasts, fighting in the red zone originally means danger, and the energy fluctuations of the battle will attract more attacks from the insect beasts.

Before entering the red zone, the team took a brief break of five minutes before sending out again.

After entering the red area, Qi Yuan keenly noticed that the clouds in the sky seemed to become thicker and lower, and the surrounding light became increasingly dimmer, but the driving vehicles did not turn on their lights, because the light also It is easy to attract the attack of insects and beasts.

With the eyesight of an intermediate ability user, even if there is no light shining on them, they can still see the scenery outside clearly.

Although the strong physique of an intermediate-level strong intermediate ability allows people to go on for days and nights without sleep without feeling tired, but as the vehicle drove into the red area, Qi Yuan felt that Fu Qingqing's heartbeat obviously accelerated a bit — She was a little nervous.

"Come and take a rest, I will drive this section of the road instead." Qi Yuan said.

Fu Qingqing shook her head and rejected Qi Yuan's proposal.

She knows the wilderness very well. If there are enemies on the road, the first target they attack is usually the driver.

Although these heavy-duty trucks have strong defense capabilities, enough to withstand the attacks of the fourth-tier powerhouses, since he has taken over the important task of protecting Qi Yuan, he must bear these inevitable dangers.

Seeing that Fu Qingqing was concentrating on driving and was unwilling to let go of the steering wheel in his hand, Qi Yuan did not insist either, but the power of the spiritual fortress quietly swept away.

At the same time, Seraphim also sneaked into the leader's medal and so on, and switched it to defense mode at the same time.

Seraph of the fifth order,

Coupled with the protection of the leading medal, even in the face of the attack of the fifth-order insect beast, it can last for a long time.

The defensive strength of the energy shield provided by the Leader Medal is far stronger than this truck.

While the convoy was moving slowly, although the energy shields cut off sound, energy fluctuations, and human breath to the greatest extent, they could not completely erase the convoy. There were still worms wandering around that saw the convoy with their eyes. exist.

Many worms just glanced at the convoy and had no intention of attacking. Only a few worms followed slowly.

However, the convoy did not attack the trailing worms, but let them follow behind the convoy.

Unless a sufficient number of worms are gathered, these worms will not easily attack such a large convoy. There are more and more worms behind, and the voice of the fleet commander comes from the truck podium, ready to fight When preparing, the insects and beasts following all the way suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

After discovering that the worms and beasts following him left suddenly, Qi Yuan was not happy but surprised. Of course, the worms and beasts would not leave easily, and their sudden dispersal only meant one thing, that is, they sensed danger.

The danger does not come from the convoy, but from the wilderness, from the more powerful worms.

After continuing to move forward for a certain distance, the slow-moving convoy suddenly stopped.

A message came from the truck in front of the road.

The safe road in front was blocked by the dark swamp with a width of more than three kilometers, making it impossible for the convoy to move forward.

Fu Qingqing's face became a little serious.

"I followed my teacher on this road once, and there was no swamp on the road."

Qi Yuan frowned. The terrain of a swamp cannot be formed easily in a short period of time. The terrain can be changed in a short period of time, and it is only possible for a high-level panic-level worm to create such a huge swamp.

Reminiscent of those elite insects and beasts who left suddenly, Qi Yuan vaguely guessed the truth of the formation of the swamp.

The two didn't get off the car hastily. The convoy had a special person to investigate, but the result of the investigation made everyone more nervous.

Just as Qi Yuan guessed, there is the residual breath of seventh-order insects and beasts in this swamp!

It's just that I don't know whether this powerful panic-level insect has made a home here, or it's just passing by.

High-level panic-level insects can easily change the terrain of the wilderness, and they are the real masters of the red area!

"Even if it is a high-level panic-level insect beast, there are not many that can change the terrain in such a large range. The rank of this insect beast may not exceed the seventh rank!" Fu Qingqing said.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt a toothache.

How could I have encountered such a dangerous thing before I reached the front line.

A worm beast of the seventh rank is already terrifying enough. If one is not careful, the entire convoy can be wiped out. If a worm beast above the seventh rank really appears, I am afraid that everyone in the entire convoy can only give it a toothache. seam.

"Can you go around?" Qi Yuan asked.

Fu Qingqing shook her head.

"The convoy cannot deviate from the safe route. Without the deterrent aura left by the high-ranking powerhouse, the situation will be even more dangerous."

"Our convoy is too large. Once we deviate from the safe route, we will inevitably attract more attacks from dangerous insects and beasts."

As the convoy waited longer, an atmosphere of uneasiness slowly spread.

The longer you stay in the red wilderness, the more dangerous it is!

Soon, new news came from the investigators in front. No panic-level insects were found in the nearby area, and this swamp was only caused by the other party's transit.

After the news came back, the whole team felt a lot easier.

As long as there are no panic-level worms, mere swamps can't stop the convoy from moving forward.

The ability users in the convoy can completely carve out a path from the swamp for vehicles to drive.

Through the spiritual fortress, Qi Yuan saw that a man exuding a faint chill walked down from the back of the truck compartment, walked all the way to the front of the convoy, and stepped directly into the black swamp.

In the perception of the spiritual fortress, this man is like a terrifying vortex full of ice-cold power, the chill spreads everywhere he passes, and even the swamp has turned into a frosty permafrost that exudes a deep chill.

Fu Qingqing stuck her head out of the window and looked at the man in the frozen swamp with amazement in her eyes.

"The research on genetic warriors in the laboratory is becoming more and more terrifying. This bloody fifth-level genetic warrior has already surpassed ordinary fifth-level ability users. Even if I want to kill him, it will not be easy."

"This is the latest genetic warrior from the laboratory. Each of them consumes a lot of resources, and it is difficult for the laboratory to mass-produce them. Moreover, their lifespan is not long and they cannot survive for too long." Qi Yuan said.

After receiving the Leader Medal and successfully promoted to the fourth-level researcher, Qi Yuan slowly realized how deep the water in the laboratory was and how terrifying the hidden strength was.

Although the laboratory has publicized that it has shifted its research center to energy and machinery in recent years, those fourth-level researchers who have stayed in the laboratory for a long time and have never even come out of the gate are studying what, only a few people know.

If he hadn't been promoted to a fourth-level researcher, he wouldn't have access to these secrets at all.

At least two of the fourth-level researchers in the laboratory devoted all their time and energy to the research of genetic warriors.

Although genetic warriors are not his research direction, Qi Yuan also has some understanding of genetic warriors.

Although the genetic warriors who came out of the training cabin have powerful power from birth, their lifespan is very short. The more powerful the genetic warriors, the shorter their lifespan. With the genetic technology of Doomsday Armament, their strength reaches the sixth level. A genetic warrior would not even live for more than a year before dying due to genetic collapse.

Even injecting them with gene stabilizing drugs cannot extend their lifespan beyond five years.

Therefore, although the genetic warriors are powerful, their huge training cost and short lifespan doom them to being unable to be mass-produced.

Every genetic soldier sent to the front line, their ultimate fate is to die on the front line, and very few genetic soldiers can return to the shelter alive.

Regardless of whether it is a new human or an old human, in their eyes, genetic warriors are cannon fodder, even the sixth-level genetic warriors are the same.

The genetic warrior who controls the power of frost opens the way ahead, condensing a frozen and frozen soil that can control the traffic of the convoy.

The convoy, which was forced to stop, started slowly, followed behind the genetic warrior, and slowly crossed the swamp.

Because the weight of each truck is tens of tons, it has high requirements for the strength of the frosty and frozen soil. Even if the genetic warrior who opened the way ahead has the strength of the fifth level, his forward speed is not fast.

In this dark swamp with a width of about three kilometers, it took the entire convoy nearly half an hour to slowly reach the opposite side of the swamp.

After the first truck left the swamp, the tense atmosphere in the convoy channel finally eased a little.

The genetic warriors were still standing on top of the frosty ground, keeping the swamp frozen and preventing a sudden thaw that would sink the truck into the swamp.

When trucks left the swamp one after another, Qi Yuan found that his eyes had also turned a dark blue as they passed by the genetic warrior, like icy ice.

Only the last four trucks were left, and they were still driving on the glacial permafrost, when an invisible force field suddenly spread out from the swamp.

Qi Yuan felt his heart tighten, as if being pulled by something.

Seraphim also began to tremble, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

This feeling is scary, but I seem to have experienced it somewhere!

Soon, Qi Yuan remembered the first time he experienced this feeling.

Apocalypse force field!

I have felt this dangerous aura in the body of the apocalypse powerhouse at the Gate of Truth——Ming Ming.

If there is no hidden apocalypse powerhouse in the convoy, then this is a panic-level insect beast approaching!

Qi Yuan was startled, and immediately opened the communication channel of the convoy, and said in a deep voice: "A high-level panic beast is approaching!"

After the convoy communication channel was silent for a few seconds, the convoy commander chose to trust Qi Yuan and directly issued orders in the convoy communication channel.

"All vehicles, activate the maximum power energy shield shield, and move forward at full speed!"

As the order was issued, the speed of all the vehicles soared at the same time. Although the strength of the energy shield had been activated to the maximum, there were still some dull sounds.

The sound could easily attract nearby worms, although it would be a little dangerous, but if the panic-level worm in the swamp really came back, once it was entangled, it would be a disaster.

Just as the convoy picked up speed, the frosty soil that originally spanned the entire swamp suddenly cracked inch by inch.

The fifth-level frost controller didn't leave. He tried his best to control the frost and frozen soil under his feet, preventing it from cracking, and buying time for the vehicles behind to leave.

His eyes turned into icy whirlpools, and the violent frost power gushed out crazily. Under his desperate efforts, the speed of the collapse of the frost and permafrost slowed down, and the two trucks successfully broke away from the swamp and rushed onto the hard land.

However, as if the worm in the swamp was enraged, an invisible force swept out, and the remaining frost and frozen soil instantly shattered.

Under the suppression of that powerful force, any resistance is futile.

The two trucks that hadn't had time to drive out of the frosty soil fell into the swamp at the same time, slowly sinking towards the depths of the mud.

No matter how the engine roared, they could not save their sinking fate.

"Abandon the car!" The commander's voice echoed on the vehicle channel.

The hatches of the main and co-cabs of the two trucks were opened at the same time, and several men in combat uniforms quickly left the car. They stepped on the truck that was about to sink under their feet, jumped out, and flew towards the shore. Come.

The nearest truck is only about 10 meters away from the shore of the swamp.

This distance is not too far away for the vast majority of mid-level ability users, and a leap of energy accumulation is enough to go ashore.

But just as they crossed the normal distance and were about to land, a few spikes mixed with muddy water suddenly shot out from below the swamp.

These muddy spikes, which seem to have no hardness at all, persisted and easily pierced the bodies of several people, like candied haws, piercing them in midair.

Blood spurted out along the muddy spikes.

The body of the ability user pierced by the mud thorn twitched, and he fell into the swamp in despair, leaving only a series of helpless bloody bubbles emerging from the mud.

In an instant, the last two trucks, including people and supplies, were wiped out.

The fifth-level genetic warriors who tried their best to maintain the frosty and frozen soil did not escape the fate of being swallowed by the swamp. In the face of the panic-level insect beasts, the fifth-level genetic warriors also had no room to resist.

After eating up two trucks full of supplies, the swamp seemed not satisfied otherwise, and the molten mud swamp spread towards the direction of the convoy.

The earth melted silently, and the black swamp spread like wildfire.

"Continue to keep going at full speed with maximum power, and be careful not to deviate from the safe route."

The commander's dull voice sounded in the convoy channel.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the car teammates frantically escaped from the spreading swamp.

Although the spreading speed of the swamp was not slow, it never caught up with the convoy.

After fleeing in embarrassment for nearly five minutes, the spreading swamp slowly stopped, but the convoy did not slow down, and continued to sprint forward at full speed for nearly three minutes. After confirming that the swamp did not continue to expand, the convoy slowly slowed down. down.
