She had no right to fight back, so she could only run.
Ge Er did not have time to check the injury on her left shoulder and decisively ran to the alternate route.
Previously, the main route was blocked by three copper mechanical life forms, and the advantage of planning an alternate route in advance was reflected at this moment.
Without any hesitation, Ge'Er headed towards the most important route at the moment.
Her figure passed through the light and shadow, and while maintaining her speed, she minimized the sound she made.
Just like that, she passed through two passages and left the copper worm that attacked her behind.
However, she was not sure if the three copper mechanical life forms had chased after her, nor was she sure if the copper mechanical life forms in the surrounding area had been attracted.
She stood at an oblique corner of the wall, unconsciously keeping some distance from the wall.
Thump, thump …
Her heartbeat was very fast, as if it was echoing in her ears.
Ge Er looked nervous. She first looked at the surrounding environment, and then had the spare energy to check the injury on her left shoulder.
The wound was only the size of a needle, but the skin was full of reddish-brown rust.
Although it did not continue to spread, she could no longer feel her left shoulder, and she could not even lift a finger.
Just being stung by the copper worm was equivalent to the effect of cutting off her left arm.
This was the terrifying thing about the copper mechanical life forms. Of course, what was even more terrifying was their numbers.
Fortunately, the attack characteristics of the copper mechanical life forms did not spread like a poison. Even so, the current situation was still very troublesome.
"Why is there such a thing?!"
Ge Er gritted her teeth and barely calmed her throbbing heart.
During the period when the team explored the ruins, they had seen many different copper mechanical life forms, but they had never seen one so small.
If there were many copper mechanical life forms similar to the copper worm, the risk the team had to bear would be even greater.
"We have to report this information to the president as soon as possible!"
Ge Er took a deep breath and looked up at the fork in front of her.
She did not continue to stay and headed toward the passage on the right side of the fork.
At the moment, there was no way to deal with the [Rust Attack] of the copper mechanical life forms. Because the rust did not have the ability to spread, Ge Er did not need to deal with the injury on her left shoulder at this time.
Although for now, her left shoulder was equivalent to being crippled, she could not just cut off her wrist, right?
Ge Er walked carefully in the dangerous passage of the ruins. The copper worm's attack made her vigilant in a wider area, so her speed changed.
After bypassing several more dangerous places, she finally arrived at the nearest safe spot.
It was a spacious room with six entrances and exits. Although it increased the difficulty of being on guard, there was more room for choice in the event of an emergency.
Ge 'er came in through one of the entrances. Looking at the empty room, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
However, she did not choose to go to the second safety point. Instead, she stayed in the room, intending to wait there because the team might come here.
After all, this was the closest safe spot to the scattered area. If the team had the same plan as her, then the possibility of meeting up here was very high.
The room's light source of light a few orbs.
The flourishing Flowers to the left of the light to the left of the ruins of the ruins
The breeze that flowed inside the ruins would occasionally rustle the branches and leaves, making a slight rustling sound.
Ge 'er was curled up in a pile of rocks. She was trying her best to curl up like a helpless little girl.
However, she had completely calmed down and began to think of countermeasures.
She stared at the fine gravel on the ground in front of her. She bit her lip but did not realize that she had bitten it until it was bleeding.
The disadvantage of humans entering the ruins was not the number of copper mechanical life forms, nor was it the disadvantage of vision. It was also not the copper mechanical life forms' attack that could easily break through telekinetic defenses.
The real disadvantage was that … there was no way to fight back.
Based on this point alone, the space for humans to respond was severely limited.
"You guys … come here quickly!"
Ge Er prayed in her heart.
To be honest, she did not have the confidence to meet up with the team in this situation. She could only pray that the team would find this place on their own.
Losing an arm was nothing, but she had to report the situation of the copper worm to the others.
"Hurry … come here!"
Ge Er's right hand scratched five trenches on the ground.
While waiting, she was counting the time in her heart.
She would not wait foolishly. If the team did not come here after an hour, she would take the initiative to move.
Time passed slowly. Soon, forty minutes had passed.
During this time, no copper mechanical life forms came.
Ge Er continued to wait. Soon, ten minutes had passed.
The room and the six entrances were still silent. Only the occasional rustling sound from the darkness could be heard.
Luck was obviously not on her side.
The Hunter team did not come here.
Ge Er sighed in her heart. She got up from the pile of rocks and prepared to go to the second safety point.
If she could not find the team, she could only wander around the dozen safety points.
She did not leave from the entrance she came from. Instead, she chose the entrance on the left.
Ge Er walked softly, trying not to make too much noise.
At this moment, a familiar nightmarish sound came from the entrance in front of her.
Ge Er's expression changed, and he immediately retreated, heading towards the entrance from which he had come.
However, just as she was about to retreat to the exit, the faint sound of gears turning came from behind her.
Ge Er was shocked. Her steady heartbeat showed signs of speeding up again.
She had no choice but to go to the other exit.
However, she did not know if it was a coincidence or not, but the sound of gears turning also came from the other exit.
In the dim light, Ge Er's right foot stopped in an instant. Her expression became extremely ugly.
This was because the sound of gears turning came from the six entrances in the room.
She was unknowingly surrounded by the copper mechanical life forms in the ruins …
Looking at the copper mechanical life forms floating in from the six entrances, Ge Er was in a dilemma.
Many copper mechanical life forms entered the room and hovered at their respective entrances. Their faint gazes fell on Ge Er.
There were more than ten copper mechanical life forms at each entrance.
Suddenly, the copper mechanical life forms moved one after another. They flew toward Ge Er in the air.
A hint of despair flashed in the depths of Ge Er's eyes.
In this situation, she had no choice but to make a move.
However, she could already imagine the result after making a move.
Immediately, her right hand softened into a snake's head. It rolled up the collapsed stones on the ground and threw them at the incoming copper mechanical life forms.
"Bang!"
A dull boom spread throughout the room and then spread out.
The team from the Hunter Association was stationed in a huge room a few kilometers away from where they were.
This was one of the safe spots. The Hunters' Association team had just arrived.
There was a member at the entrance and exit of the room, while the rest stood in the center of the room in a circle.
In the middle of the crowd, Yin Hu and Kang Zai were lying flat on the ground. Their eyes were closed and they were in a severe coma.
There was a large patch of rust on his right cheek. There was also a large patch of rust on his neck, abdomen, and right thigh.
Sambika knelt beside Kang Zai. He tried his best to transfer the rust out of Kang Zai's body. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not do it.
Every member of the association who was watching from the sidelines had a grave expression on their faces.
"Sambika, do you have a way?" Nitro's tone was low.
"I'm sorry."
Sambika silently put down his white-gloved hands with an apologetic look in his eyes.
Hearing Sambika's words, the hearts of every association member, including Nitro, sank.
This was equivalent to a doctor's death notice. In other words, Kang Zai could not be saved, even if he was still breathing.
Rabbit Pijoen walked out of the crowd and knelt in front of Kang Zai. She reached out and grabbed Kang Zai's collar. There was some light in her eyes, and her mouth was slightly open. She wanted to curse Kang Zai like before.
However, in the end, she could not say anything. She could only silently grab her collar and watch as Kang Zai's breathing became weaker and weaker.
Even without using [Condense], everyone present could see that Kang Zai was getting closer and closer to death.
The atmosphere in the room was silent and oppressive. There was a hint of sorrow.
After the Hunters' Association landed on the Darkness Continent, it had been very smooth. Because their teammates were elites, they had not sacrificed anyone until now.
But now, perhaps the first victim would soon appear.
Moreover, there were still three members who were missing. No one knew how they were doing now.
Sambika looked at his silent teammates and silently clenched his hands.
Because of his lack of ability, there was no way to pull Kang Zai back from the brink of death.
This feeling of powerlessness was very uncomfortable.
"If only Law was here …" Sambika said in a low voice.
The rust attack of the copper mechanical life form was very domineering. It was neither germs nor toxins. In a sense, it was not an injury but an [Assimilation] phenomenon.
To deal with this [Assimilation] phenomenon, ordinary people would be helpless no matter how advanced their technology was. Only telekinesis ability users could deal with it.
After coming into close contact with this phenomenon, Sambika believed that only Law's [Separation] could deal with the [Assimilation] phenomenon of the copper mechanical life form.
Hearing Sambika's words, Nitro sighed softly.
If only Law was here …
This statement was not even an extravagant hope. It reflected Sambika's powerlessness and also made Nitro realize that there was no way to deal with the copper mechanical life form.
Once an important part was attacked, it was equivalent to declaring death.
However, the copper mechanical life form could easily break through the defense of telekinesis ability users.
Being in the underground level of the ruins, there were many light sources, at least in terms of vision.
Then, what was the situation of Bujand and the others at the bottom level?
Also, how many levels were there in the underground ruins? The further down they went, the more copper mechanical life form there would be?
Nitro frowned. The lack of information was the reason why the team could not start the next step.
At this moment, Pijoen said in a low voice, "Kang Zai … is dead."
"…"
Everyone was silent. They just silently looked at the lifeless Kang Zai.
As a member of the defense team, Kang Zai's close combat ability was relatively strong in the team.
However, in front of the tide of copper mechanical life forms, the survivability of an individual was too weak. One careless mistake and death would be the result.
Yin Da was an extremely emotional person. At this moment, he was quietly crying. He moved the stone slabs scattered around the room, wanting to make a stone coffin for Kang Zai.
Seeing Yin Da's actions, Chen Long Bo Bai also moved, looking for suitable stone slabs.
Under the premise of making as little noise as possible, the two burly men easily set up a stone coffin, and then placed Kang Zai's body inside.
"I'm sorry …" Seeing the coffin closed, Sambika said guiltily.
"I should be the one saying sorry," Kita Yoshida, who was also a doctor, said solemnly.
"Doctors aren't omnipotent. If you have the time to blame yourself, why don't you think about how to stop this situation from happening?" Mo Laowu looked at them with a smoking pot.
Sambika and Kita Yoshida were speechless.
"Moreover, this is the Darkness Continent. Sacrifices are inevitable."
Massachu couldn't help but glance at Mo Laowu, thinking that he should be the doctor in the team. How come all the lines were taken by him?
Although Kang Zai was dead, everyone was a professional hunter after all. They quickly adjusted their mentality.
"Move in five minutes and find the missing companions."
At this moment, Nitro's voice reached everyone's ears.
Kang Zai was dead. This was an irreversible fact. Currently, there were still three teammates who were missing and their whereabouts were unknown.
If it weren't for the fact that the radio couldn't be used in the ruins, it wouldn't be difficult to find the missing teammates.
Suddenly, Nitro's ears twitched. He heard an extremely soft rumbling sound.
Not only Nitro, but several members with good hearing also heard it.
"President."
Men Qi suddenly looked at Nitro.
"Mhmm."
Nitro nodded slightly.
Seeing Nitro and Men Qi's reaction, the other members who didn't hear the sound were puzzled.
"They might be in a bad situation." Bo Bai also heard the sound.
"It's not a possibility, it's definitely not good. Everyone here knows the consequences of taking the initiative to fight. Then, Ge Er and the others must be in a desperate situation."
"The most troublesome thing is that the movement caused by the battle will attract more Gear Monsters."
"What are you talking about?" The members who didn't hear the sound were a little confused.
The one who answered their doubts was a member guarding one of the entrances, because the sound came from the direction of the entrance he was at.
Safe point, huge room.
Bursts of dust floated in the air. On the ground full of gravel lay the remains of more than a dozen copper mechanical life forms.
However, there were still hundreds of copper mechanical life forms floating in the air, surrounding Ge Er in the middle.
Due to the characteristics of the copper mechanical life forms, Ge Er couldn't easily touch them. She could only use the stones in the room as weapons to attack the copper mechanical life forms.
Bang!
A large amount of Telekinesis was condensed on the stone. It whistled through the air and smashed the more than a dozen copper mechanical life forms floating in the air to the ground.
It was so easy to succeed, but Ge Er wasn't happy at all.
"Oh, I'm going to die here."
Seeing more and more copper mechanical life forms gathering around him, Ge 'er's face was filled with despair.
Even if she had the confidence to deal with more than a hundred copper mechanical life forms, as long as she fought with them, it would only attract more.
Therefore, no matter what she did, it would be difficult for her to escape the danger, unless her teammates came to her rescue.
But that was also impossible.
When the copper mechanical life forms gathered, coming to her rescue would only be going to hell together.
Bang bang bang …!
Ge Er was fighting like a cornered beast. Even if she would die here, she would do her best to get rid of as many copper mechanical life forms as possible.
As the wreckage increased, the number of copper mechanical life forms in the room didn't decrease, but increased.
The number of copper mechanical life forms that came quickly broke through the thousands. They swarmed over, covering the sky and covering the earth as they fell towards Ge Er.
Boom!
Piles of copper mechanical life forms fell to the ground, making loud noises and raising bursts of dust.
Not long after, the spacious room was filled with copper mechanical life forms.
