The cries of the synthetic bodies echoed in the sky …
The entire research island had been occupied by the swarm of insects. Many of the synthetic bodies had been devoured by the insects.
The remaining synthetic bodies were hiding in a room deep inside the island.
The room was filled with strange alloy objects. The floor was covered with metal wires. The complex structure seemed to be useless. The synthetic bodies huddled together in fear and looked in front of them in despair …
The tightly shut metal door was their last line of defense. The round object in their hands was their last hope.
"Help! We need help! " The leader of the synthetic bodies with a golden symbol on its head was holding a golden ball. It was shouting at the ball with all its might …
"Why is there no response? We need help! " The strong shouts caused its vocal organs to become hoarse. However, as the leader of the synthetic bodies, it had no intention of giving up. It kept trying to call for help from somewhere far away until …
Dong!
The entire door seemed to have been hit by something, making a heavy sound.
"Those insects … The insects are coming!" The synthetic bodies in the room ran away from the door in fear. They ran to the corner of the room and huddled together.
Perhaps they wanted to scare the synthetic bodies. The swarm of insects did not break the door open immediately. They did not melt the door either. Instead, they pushed it open bit by bit. Every time the door opened, the synthetic bodies would scream in fear and helplessness.
"Why … is there no response?"
Only the leader floated in front of the metal door. It did not run away. However, it had no hope.
It looked at the door that was shaking because of the swarm of insects. The leader tossed the golden sphere onto the ground ….
"Since they are not coming to save us, I can only save myself."
The leader floated to the center of the room. Its hoarse voice was heard by the other synthetic bodies.
"Follow behind me. Take care of yourselves. Look for an opportunity to escape … I will fight to the death until the last moment."
"Leader, could it be …" While the synthetic bodies were shocked, everything in the room … Suddenly, it started to move …
The densely packed metal wires on the ground wriggled like tentacles. They extended to the leader's side and used their sharp tips to peel off its skin bit by bit.
A strange liquid similar to blood gushed out from the cracks in the skin and was then sucked clean by the metallic tentacles. The leader's body was completely torn apart, and only the creature that represented the leader's true form was left … a controller as soft as cotton fell to the ground.
Countless metal wires circled around the leader, piercing into his body with their sharp points. They coiled around each other and lifted the soft and fragile body of the leader into the air.
The alloy objects hanging from the ceiling and walls began to move as well. They gathered together, and the alloy objects of different sizes began to assemble around the leader under the control of the metal tentacles.
The rotating multi-toothed alloy block was the internal structure, and the solid alloy deck was its outer shell. The sharp silver blade was its spine, and the sharp spikes were its weapons. The shining crystal was placed in the core, and the golden symbol on its forehead was engraved on the side of its body.
Under the astonished gazes of the synthetics, the moving metal in the room assembled into a giant metal monster in a short time. Its shape was modeled after the large dinosaur 'Spinosaurus' from a distant continent.
This was something that the leader of the synthetics created himself, and it was called the 'final weapon' …
The alloy Spinosaurus was 27 meters long. It was 9 meters tall, and its movements made its body produce a loud metallic sound. The ground also rumbled as it was heavily stepped on.
The alloy tentacles attached to its body peeled off one by one. The alloy Spinosaurus turned around in the room, and the red crystal eyes on both sides of its head stared at the shaking metal door.
Boom! The swarm's attack did not stop. Cracks appeared on the door under the shaking, and with every attack, the cracks widened several times.
"All of you … get ready." The leader's voice rang out among the Spinosaurus. It took heavy steps to the door, and its huge body made the synthetics feel at ease. They, who were huddled in the corner, slowly floated behind the Spinosaurus.
"Run with all your might. You should all know that the escape room is 30 meters away from the corner." The leader's voice sounded like a final farewell. "Even if one of you manages to escape, bring this back and give it to him."
The metal tentacles in the room moved again, and they placed golden balls in the hands of the synthetics.
The synthetics looked at the balls in their hands, and then at the back of their leader. Although they did not say anything, their expressions became determined …
"Very well … All of you … must try your best to survive." Although the leader did not turn its head, it seemed like it could read the synthetics' emotions.
"Then, I'll start now!" The leader's tone became resolute. "Beep!" With a beep, the cracked metal door in front of it slowly moved to the sides, and the countless insects behind the door were revealed …
Crystal locusts with sharp limbs densely covered the corridor outside, the walls, and even the ceiling. No matter where one looked, they could only see the dense swarm of crystal locusts.
They were like sand in the desert, covering the entire corridor.
Their eyes were also looking in this direction.
"For the glory of the king!!" The leader's shout was accompanied by a blinding light.
The strong beam of light penetrated the door that was not fully opened, leaving scorching marks on the solid metal. The destructive energy wreaked havoc in the sea of insects, burning everything that came into contact with it. At the same time, it created a path for the insects to escape.
The insects moved.
Like a river that was split open, the path that had just been burned was instantly filled by the insects. Countless locusts jumped up from the ground and pounced on the thing that shot the beam of light … a large piece of crystal on the ground.
The thing that shot the beam of light was not the alloy thorned dragon, but a large piece of crystal that was embedded in the floor of the room. The thorned dragon only moved when the insects surrounded it.
The thorns on its back opened slightly, and a large number of small bullets shot out. They did not seem to be locked on to any target, and the bullets scattered in the air, hitting the ground, walls, and the insects.
Slap! The moment the bullets exploded, white smoke gushed out like a fountain, shrouding the entire room in fog.
"Let's go!" In the invisible space, the leader's voice and the thorned dragon's heavy footsteps sounded at the same time. The leader's thorned dragon was the first to charge into the swarm.
The sound of crystals shattering could be heard in the fog. This meant that the locusts were crushed into powder. Although they could sense in the dark, they were much slower in the fog.
Scorch fungus was the main component of this fog. The researchers of this fungus came from a group of synthetic organisms that specialized in arthropods. Scorch fungus could corrode the stomata of arthropods.
This kind of fungus slowed down the insects. The sound of crystals shattering could be heard continuously. It seemed like nothing could stop the thorned dragon in the fog.
"It's right in front!" The leader's excitement made him move faster, but he was soon cooled down by a gust of wind.
Buzz … The sound of the insects flapping their wings echoed in the corridor.
The swarm of insects flapped their wings rapidly. Their cooperation created a one-way airflow in the tunnel. The fog in the tunnel instantly dissipated, revealing the gigantic Spinosaurus and the group of synthetics behind it.
In front of the thorned dragon, a locust jumped up.
Bam! The thick alloy claws instantly slapped the flying locust away, and the huge impact turned its body into a pile of crystals and broken pieces of internal organs.
Then, all the insects around it jumped up.
"Run!!" Countless small holes opened up on both sides of the thorned dragon's body.
At this moment, a large number of insects exploded. Countless crystal shards splashed in the corridor. The synthetic organisms moved forward quickly in the rain of crystal shards, rushing forward with all their might …
"Ah!"
A synthetic organism felt something pulling it down and dragging it down from the sky.
Bam! In the next second, an explosion came from behind the synthetic organism. It regained its freedom and flew up again.
"Gah!" Another synthetic organism was caught by a flying locust. However, the locust that caught it was also smashed into pieces in the next moment.
"Run!" The leader's voice was protecting these synthetic organisms. The small holes on the thorned dragon's alloy skin accurately shot down every flying locust that jumped up …
Although the synthetic organisms could escape unhindered, the thorned dragon didn't take another step forward.
Its legs, body, and even its vision were almost drowned in the sea of insects.
"That's enough …" The leader watched as the synthetics flew into the escape tunnel through his vision that was almost obscured.
Its emotions had already been satisfied.
However, this didn't mean that it had to give up on life.
"Next, it's time to kill these bastards until the very last moment."
The thoughts that reverberated in the leader's memories caused the Spinosaurus, which had been drowned by the swarm of insects, to move once more. Its huge body slammed into the wall beside it, and countless insects were instantly crushed into crystal powder mixed with viscera.
The thorned dragon opened its jaws. Flashes of lightning flickered within. An explosion blasted away the insects on its head. Amidst the scattered crystals, the thorned dragon's figure appeared again. It used its own power to open a path for itself.
However, it still couldn't take another step forward.
A beetle of the same size with a crystallized jaw stood in front of the thorned dragon, blocking its path.
