The night before the promotion

Chapter 69 Sword Dance
"Are you willing to spend so much money?"

Zhou Si exclaimed, turned around and rushed into the corridor. He heard fierce collisions and scraping sounds behind him. Even if he didn't look, Zhou Si could imagine the scene of those sharp fan blades leaving scratches on the wall.

Just like the cooperation between the town guard incarnation and the Sky Bird system in the Shenwei Science and Technology Industrial Park, the incarnation killers hunting Zhou Si also released their drones, like fully armed hunters, launching an endless hunt for Zhou Si in this jungle of steel and concrete.

Zhou Si ran in the dim corridor. The closed and narrow space indoors was enough to prevent the drone from chasing him, but it also meant that Zhou Si was stepping into the next trap.

He heard a noise coming from downstairs. Zhou Si leaned on the railing and looked down. The dim light in the stairwell cast mottled shadows on the wall, and a series of hideous shadows passed by quickly.

There was an extremely oppressive tension in the air. The footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, and each step seemed particularly heavy.

Zhou Si took a deep breath and calmly took out the cylindrical batteries one by one and inserted them into the connector on his left arm. When the first humanoid avatar climbed the stairs and appeared in front of him, Zhou Si threw the short axe in his hand with all his strength.

With a metallic vibration, the axe blade was almost completely embedded in the humanoid avatar's body, knocking it back and causing it to tumble down the stairs.

Zhou Si strode forward and punched through the fire extinguisher box on the side. He pulled out a slightly longer fire axe from it, grabbed the end of the axe handle with his left hand, and extended the attack range as much as possible.

As the second humanoid incarnation climbed up the stairs, Zhou Si swung down hard at its neck.

After another loud bang, the humanoid incarnation's head drooped strangely, with only a few remaining cables barely connecting the head and torso. Its body tilted to one side, then flipped over the railing and fell downstairs.

A few seconds later, Zhou Si heard the loud bang of the humanoid incarnation hitting the ground.

The third and fourth humanoid incarnations appeared in front of Zhou Si. The humanoid incarnations waved their swords, scraping them violently against the wall, creating sparks.

Thanks to the narrow space of the corridor, it greatly limits the attacks of the humanoid avatars, and even if they are numerous, they can only fight Zhou Si one-on-one.

The fire axe collided with the two swords, making a harsh metal friction sound, followed by a flash of light that quickly enlarged in Zhou Si's eyes, stinging his eyes.

Zhou Si first felt a slight pain in his forehead, and then a shallow scratch appeared on his skin. His black raincoat was cut, and the wooden axe handle in his hand was broken as well.

Looking towards the location where the flash was released, a humanoid incarnation was actually clinging to the wall, lowering his body, and swinging a sword towards Zhou Si.

"Stay out of the way!"

Zhou Si roared and stabbed out the narrow blade. The high-frequency vibrating blade easily pierced through the two swords' blocking, and also penetrated the metal shell behind it.

Without waiting for the humanoid avatar hanging on the wall to attack again, Zhou Si turned around, climbed over the railing and jumped down.

After falling from a height of three or four meters, the nanotube wire suddenly tightened and carried Zhou Si to the other side of the stairs.

After nimbly climbing up the stairs, the nanotubes were quickly retracted, and the narrow blade turned into a flash of lightning, quickly returning to Zhou Si.

"Goodbye! Everyone!"

Zhou Si greeted sarcastically and kicked open the rickety iron door. A long and narrow corridor appeared before his eyes. The walls on both sides were covered with traces of time. The dim light made the place look even more eerie and terrifying.

I should have entered a residential area in a hidden alley. This place is like a huge beehive. The rooms are densely arranged. I can see stacked boxes and electric cars parked in the corridor.

Zhou Si glanced out the window. Just as he was about to climb out and escape from this damn building, he saw a drone quickly landing and following him through the iron bars of the window.

From beginning to end, Zhou Si remained in the enemy's sight, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape.

Looking forward, several humanoid avatars were already guarding there, ready for battle. They locked onto Zhou Si like hungry wolves, some of them drew their swords, while others raised their guns and.

Zhou Si didn't hesitate and rushed directly into the corridor, as fast as a black lightning.

There was a burst of gunfire.

Zhou Si used the debris on both sides of the corridor as cover, constantly changing his position, and rolling quickly to avoid the oncoming bullets.

At the same time, Zhou Si used the power of rolling to approach the humanoid incarnations. He lowered his body, swung the narrow blade, and directly cut off the legs of two humanoid incarnations, causing them to kneel down involuntarily.

The battle quickly escalated into close combat, with each swing of the narrow blade accompanied by the wailing of metal.

Zhou Si seemed to have the upper hand, but he was also aware that his physical strength was being consumed rapidly, and every movement had to be precise and efficient.

He fought and retreated, using the narrow space of the corridor to constantly create blind spots, making it difficult for the humanoid avatars to launch their attacks.

Suddenly, a humanoid incarnation attacked Zhou Si from behind, and the sharp sword blade cut through his clothes, leaving a bloody mark.

Zhou Si endured the pain, turned around, and clamped its neck with the narrow blade. He twisted it hard and strangled it to death. However, this brief respite did not bring peace. More humanoid avatars came from the other end of the corridor. They were tattered and seemed endless.

In a trance, Zhou Si suddenly figured out where the Paradise of Bliss had gotten so many incarnations from. They used the piles of waste in the hidden alley and reassembled them into unrestrained bodies. Facing the approaching enemy, Zhou Si retreated to the end of the corridor, where there was a closed iron door.

Zhou Si knew very well that there was no way to retreat and the only option was to fight to the death.

This time Zhou Si did not cut open the iron gate and continue to escape. Instead, he took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a determined look.

When the humanoid avatars were about to surround Zhou Si, he suddenly exerted force, stepped forward, and killed into the humanoid avatars.

Countless sword blades were raised, and the shiny sword bodies were like countless broken mirrors, reflecting Zhou Si's bloody face and angry eyes. Chaotic gunshots came from a distance, they passed through the gaps between the humanoid incarnations, trying to hit Zhou Si's body.

Zhou Si suddenly stopped, his body like the stump of a thousand-year-old tree, firmly nailed to the ground, not moving at all.

Weak electric arcs jumped and ricocheted between the columnar batteries. They surged and contracted among the surrounding muscle fiber bundles, making every inch of muscle contain surging power.

Finally, these arcs converged on the narrow blade, coating it with a layer of dazzling thunder, like a divine weapon from heaven descending to the mortal world.

"The end of the road..."

Zhou Si roared, turned, flew into the air, and danced. His roar and thunder intertwined together, turning into shocking echoes that rolled in.

"No worries!"

The electric currents in the sky turned into frantic snakes, which moved flexibly along with the tip of the narrow blade, creating a dazzling and soul-stirring sword dance that seemed to be able to tear everything apart.

The sword of lightning easily cut into the humanoid incarnations around him. Zhou Si did not need to hit their vital points accurately. He only needed to let the narrow blade lightly touch those metal shells. The strong electric current released in an instant would wreak havoc like a flood and a beast, piercing their internal components one by one, like a divine punishment.

The air was ionized and agitated, and the rolling dust glowed a burning red light under the illumination of the electric arc.

The humanoid avatars all paused under this blow, and the swords they raised high could no longer fall. Their mechanical structures made bursts of crackling sounds under the impact of the strong electric current.

The joints twitched strangely, as if telling of unbearable pain, and dense electric sparks leaped out from their gaps like flowing blood.

The peak of the electric current was fleeting, and the lightning on Zhou Si's body dissipated. The cylindrical batteries on his shoulders popped out one after another. When they fell to the ground with a crisp sound, the humanoid incarnations that stood in front of them also fell down, piling up into a pile of iron corpses on the ground.

Zhou Si took a long breath and quickly replenished his batteries with new cylindrical batteries. Then, before he could enjoy the afterglow of victory, he looked forward and saw several pitch-black gun muzzles greeting him.

The humanoid avatars were like long-awaited hunters who finally aimed their crosshairs at their prey.

For a moment, Zhou Si's mind was blank. Before he could even react, the wall on the side of the humanoid avatars collapsed, and a black figure rushed in. Without any weapons, he smashed all the humanoid avatars to pieces with his bare hands.

Even if they fired back, it only splashed weak sparks on the opponent's body. Then the oncoming people directly removed the water pipe on one side, swung it down heavily in the rising water, and completely smashed the head.

"Hey, Dr. Zhou, you're still alive."

The scout incarnation turned his head, and Song Qiliang's voice sounded in Zhou Si's headphones.

Zhou Si was stunned for a moment, looking at the scout incarnation walking out of the darkness. He wondered what kind of fierce battle it had been through. It was covered with scars and even some of its metal shells had shattered, revealing the internal mechanical mechanisms.

"Commissioner Song, this is the first time I feel how lucky I am to meet you," Zhou Si paused and added, "even though you are not here."

With the addition of the scout incarnation, Zhou Si instantly gained enough confidence. Even if there were a few more rounds of enemies, he and Song Qiliang could deal with them perfectly.

But Song Qiliang didn't think so. He said, "Let's go, Doctor Zhou."

The scout incarnation ran over, and as if to help Zhou Si save energy, it simply straddled Zhou Si's waist, tilted its body sideways, and smashed the wall on one side like a war hammer.

"what happened?"

Zhou Si noticed Song Qiliang's panic. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be filled with murderous ecstasy as he was controlling the armed avatar?
Green lasers shot out from deep inside the corridor. A few seconds after they went out, gunshots rang out, and the bullets ruthlessly penetrated the fragile walls and iron sheets, turning the place where the two had just been standing into a hornet's nest.

I jumped outside, and without knowing when, the drizzling rain became heavier, and the crackling raindrops created a hazy white mist on the ground.

Zhou Si saw the drones that were following closely behind. The burning flames started from the corridor, and the erupting scorching sun turned into a blood-red tongue of fire that pierced through the rain curtain.

Song Qiliang's roar came slowly from the channel.

"They have armed avatars too!"
