Chapter 99 NO.0062: The second dive

The third deep dive chamber is still the same as before, as cold as a morgue.

A dozen anti-gravity drones shuttled back and forth between the coffin-like deep submersibles, constantly using light blue scanning beams to inspect these expensive deep submersible equipment one by one.

And waiting for their arrival here is neither Ye Qian, the supervisor of the third deep dive warehouse, nor his adjutant You Fei.

A pitch-black armored humanoid was sitting cross-legged next to an oversized deep submersible.

It was not a person wearing exoskeleton armor, but a human-shaped armor - Jiang Zhou could tell this from the opponent's magnetically bound joint structure and the hollow heat dissipation design on the torso.

In addition, the armored man's sitting height was almost as high as Chinatsu Sakura's. Jiang Zhou estimated that if the man stood up, he would be at least three meters tall.

Perhaps feeling the crowd approaching, the visor on the other person's face slowly opened, and the six cameras lit up one by one like six blood-red eyes.

"We meet again, guerrillas."

The man said mockingly.

There was no mouth on his face, and the words came from the honeycomb-shaped speaker under his visor.

And this man's voice sounded like an energetic young man in his early twenties.

Jiang Zhou remembered this voice.

This person was one of the search and rescue teams that went to the Depth 2 location to look for these "mine cards". He was from Cerberus.

Probably the same type of natural adjuster as the Wutou-1 who interrogated him before.

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

As the blood-red infrared camera scanned each of them, the man continued:

"Although for some people, this is not the first time we have met, let me introduce myself first. I am the deputy captain of the Wolfsbane Unit under the Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center, Wutou-23. I will be at

I will be responsible for the safety of you rats during the next deep dive operation."

At this point, the man paused, as if giving them time to digest.

Then he continued:

"Be honored, rats. It is your supreme honor to have a depth 4 adjuster walking on the road to Cerberus walking with you."

After saying that, he stood up and looked down at everyone like a giant. Bloody red lines like blood vessels slowly lit up on his body.

A silent sense of oppression pervaded everyone.

It’s actually depth 4?

After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but become nervous for a while.

Whether used as a division of the Abyss Dark Web or used to judge the degree of transformation of adjusters, Depth 3 to Depth 4 is a big hurdle.

When judging the depth of the Abyss Dark Web, Depth 3 and Depth 4 distinguish two major layers: the surface light zone and the low-light zone. Most of the technological blueprints salvaged from the surface light zone can be reverse-engineered and copied. Even if there is no way

It's a reverse restoration, but at least its engineering ideas can still be roughly understood with today's technological level.

However, most of the technological blueprints salvaged from the low-light zone are completely incomprehensible to human cognition. Most of the finished products can only be produced from a multi-purpose printer - unless

A one-to-one reproduction of the violence, otherwise it would be impossible to restore it in reverse.

Among adjusters—especially those who are walking on the path to upgrade—breaking through depth 4 means that the adjuster has completely eliminated all the weaknesses of the native except the brain. Except for individual paths, adjustments at depth 4,

As long as the brain is not destroyed, the adjuster cannot be considered dead.

All in all, if it was as I feared, and the other party was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to dive into the abyss of the dark web, it would be hard to say that I would have any chance of resistance if a depth 4 adjuster did it.

At the moment, he can only hope that nothing will happen...

"In short, considering that the depth of our dive this time is only depth 2, as long as you can absolutely abide by my arrangements, I can absolutely guarantee your safety."

After standing up, Wutou-23 continued.

But when he said this, the second-in-command of Wolfsbane Force could not help but murmur in his heart.

It's just a "outing" with a bunch of mice to the depth 2 location. Even if you include that special mission, it doesn't need to go to the extent of awakening a second head, right?

Awakening the second head is the common name for the upgrade path, Cerberus Convention. This upgrade path, named after the three-headed dog of hell, can load three different specifications of prosthetics according to different battlefield needs.

The first, second, and third heads correspond to two-meter, three-meter, and five-meter prosthetic weapons respectively.

Each time it upgrades to a level, the output of its prosthetic body and the firepower it carries will increase exponentially compared to the previous level. And when it reaches the "third head", its frontal combat effectiveness can be said to be an army of one man.

For example, if it were more than a hundred years ago, he could easily wipe out an deployed armored combined brigade in twenty-four hours by himself.

However, as the number of "heads" increases, the mental pressure on the adjuster will also increase, so generally they will maintain the state of "one head" in daily life.

It's just such a small thing... I don't know why my captain is so cautious.

After finishing the meditation, I once again felt the irritability in my heart, Aconitum-23, and I couldn't help complaining in my heart.

However, Wutou-23 did not hesitate for too long, but immediately clapped his hands gently - because he was worried about scratching the newly painted decorative paint, he actually did not clap, but played the clapping sound.

Imitation - then said:

"Okay, everyone, please follow the instructions and lie down in your corresponding deep dive chamber. I will give you about ten minutes to choose the weapons you need in Limbo, and then..."

"See you in the abyss."

…………

This time in Limbo Prison, Jiang Zhou stuffed a lot of heavy firepower weapons into his storage space. If nothing else, if Wutou-23 planned to be detrimental to them, then these weapons would be able to break through the defenses - of course

, the premise is that you can hit the opponent.

Jiang Zhou still remembered that when he saw these armored men on the Abyss Dark Web before, they had produced Mach rings while flying - but at that time, they all seemed to be more than five meters tall, and he didn't know that they were in this state now.

Can it be done?

If it were possible... to fly at supersonic speed, let alone myself, even if we summoned Liao Qi, it would be difficult to hit the opponent.

Of course, having said that, it is better to bring heavy weapons that can pose a certain threat than some light weapons that can hit but can only scratch.

Even if it is a trivial threat, there are two concepts between existence and non-existence.

Jiang Zhou thought this as he looked at the rail rifle and melt grenade stickers in his hands.

"Are you ready, brother Theseus?"

Just when he was in a daze, 136 walked up to him and asked. At this moment, the other person's face still didn't look good.

"of course."

Jiang Zhou stored the weapon into his own memory space and replied.

His answer of "Of course" was not only that he had already selected the weapons needed for this dive.

At this moment, under the Nord settlement, in the base used by the Icarus Liberation Front to house multi-purpose printers, Liao Qi had already completed the mental test.

0.974…

Compared with 0.978 at Depth 1, after completing the adjustment and transformation at Depth 2, Liao Qi's mental index only dropped by 0.004.

Whether it was Booker or Bai Dong, their jaws almost dropped when they saw this result - you must know that this is the depth 2 of the Icarus path. Even Koret fell a lot back then.

.

In response to this, Jiang Zhou just shrugged and said that he was gifted - how else could he explain it?

Besides, to a certain extent, I am indeed gifted.

In addition, Jiang Zhou actually had some doubts about whether even the outrageous number 0.974 was Liao Qi's true mental index.

But no matter what, after completing the inspection process, Liao Qi and Booker are now ready to be pulled into the abyss and dark web as their "summoned beasts" at any time.

In short, everything was ready. As the countdown in the Limbo sky ended, Jiang Zhou once again felt like he was being compressed like a file, and then he fell, passing through the wall that seemed to lie on the edge of the universe, and fell into the bottomless abyss.

.

During this period, he was worried about what he would do if he dived this time and once again encountered that huge being from the bottom of the abyss with countless tentacles.

I have now completed the depth 1 adjustment of the Path of Theseus, and Liao Qi, as a controllable factor, has also completed the depth 2 adjustment of the Path of Icarus - I don't know what changes this will bring.

What if my dive this time resulted in a bigger job than before, wouldn't my body in the base reality be completely destroyed?

Fortunately, what Jiang Zhou was worried about did not happen.

After crossing the wall that symbolized the "River of Styx", Jiang Zhou saw the endless sea of ​​data... calm and boundless.

As the foundation construction process of the deep submersible chamber unfolded, an extremely insignificant "drop of water" on the surface of the sea of ​​data splashed up, and in the blink of an eye, an underground city with a dead gray iron dome in the sky was mapped out.

And they are falling there, towards the base structure reflected by the "drop of water" in the dark web of the abyss.

And when Jiang Zhou got closer to the city, he felt Hecate's blessing activate on its own.

In his eyes, a detailed map of the underground city in front of him was gradually generated from countless fuzzy dots.

Including the layout of the city, including the hidden passages leading to other depths, including the wandering routes of malicious programs divided into threat levels, including the explosion rates of different malicious programs against various technological blueprints...

For a moment, Jiang Zhou was stunned.

What is this? Black sheep wall? (Note*)

However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.

When the entire map was loaded, Jiang Zhou discovered that this underground city generated by the base construction was not some other place.

This is the underground of the Nord Resettlement Area.

Note: black sheep wall, the game cheat code for opening the entire map in "StarCraft".
