The night before the promotion

Chapter 71 Thunder Punishment
"Ha ha!"

Song Qiliang's laughter not only resounded in the channel, but also echoed in the sea of ​​fire through the speakers.

The scout incarnation smashed his majestic and angry eyes again and again, and even one of his burning pupils went out, successfully affecting Ucchusma's vision.

But then, the scout incarnation's heavy fist was strangled by another thick arm, and then Ucchusma raised its fourth mechanical arm, at the end of which was a heavy physical sword reflecting the burning flames.

The harsh clanging sound echoed under the rain curtain.

Ucchusmo knocked the scout incarnation to the ground with a sword. Before the scout incarnation could get up again, he grabbed the scout incarnation's throat with one hand and repeatedly smashed its chest with the physical heavy sword.

"Powerless!"

Ucchusma scolded.

Even though each sword only left a shallow dent on the scout incarnation's chest, the repeated blows were deepening the dent little by little until the internal electronic components and mechanical structure were completely crushed.

"inability!"

Another mechanical arm reached out and grabbed the scout incarnation's head, its palm cracked and roaring fire enveloped everything.

"Dr. Zhou!"

Song Qiliang's terrified voice echoed in the channel. From his perspective, the entire field of vision was covered by flames, which stung his eyes and made him shed tears of repentance.

The extremely high temperature was gradually affecting the internal components of the scout incarnation and completely burning out its visual sensors.

Ucchusma loosened his hand, and the dazzling fire suddenly went out for a moment. Then a sudden wind blew, and the heavy sword raised high turned into a guillotine and fell down.

Once, twice!

The heavy sword hit the red-hot metal shell with incredible precision, first denting it and then cutting it off!

The tip of the sword lightly lifted the head of the scout incarnation and rolled it into the ashes. Song Qiliang's voice was cut off at that point, leaving only the noise of electric current, like the resentment of a ghost.

He grabbed the headless body incarnation and inserted the tip of the heavy sword along the broken neck until it completely penetrated the torso. Then he raised it up with great force and threw the headless incarnation out by inertia, ripped it open, and countless parts were scattered all over the ground.

After dealing with the troublesome scout incarnation, Ucchusmo turned his attention back to Zhou Si, but when he looked at the open space on the side, Zhou Si was no longer there.

Did you escape?

This is not a problem for Ucchusma. As long as it connects to the drone swarm, it will be easy to find Zhou Si's location in the hidden alley.

But before it could start searching, a sharp buzzing sound came from overhead and a flash of lightning appeared.

"what!"

When Ucchusma noticed something was wrong and looked in the direction where the lightning came from, it was too late.

Thunder fell from the gathering dark clouds, punishing Ucchusma with divine punishment.

The explosive lightning first cut off the yellow fuel pipeline, and the electric arc hit the overflowing liquid fuel, causing tiny sparks to ignite in it, and then the whole thing burned up.

In an instant, the expanding fireball engulfed half of Ucchusma's body, and talismans fluttered and burned in the sky.

The narrow blade dragged the lightning up from the fireworks, and under the pull of the nanotubes, it fell heavily again and embedded itself into the bulge on Ucchusmo's back.

There were Ucchusma's fuel tanks and ammunition depots. Conventional weapons could hardly penetrate the heavy defense, but Zhou Si's narrow blade could easily pass through.

Zhou Si stood in the rusty sky corridor, the firelight making his cold face look stern and cruel.

The Shattering Sword operated at its peak power, draining all the power from the cylindrical battery and forging a thunder order to cut off evil.

Zhou Si saw a blazing sun rising slowly.

The strong electric potential field that attacked Ucchusma was like a lit fuse. The liquid fuel burned violently, releasing a surging heat wave, and causing the stored ammunition to explode.

As a result, Ucchusma's back bulged rapidly, the metal deformed, burned red, and finally broke.

It tried to disconnect from the fuel tank, but the scorching sun of the purifying world had already risen and no one could avoid it.

After a moment of bright light, the roaring sound waves took away Zhou Si's hearing. The deadly shock wave mixed with the heat wave hit Zhou Si's body. The pain reached the threshold limit in an instant, and all the senses in his body were pale and numb.

The sky corridor completely collapsed in the heat wave, and the surrounding buildings, shops and all obstacles were pushed aside. The spreading fire snakes were like a flood, running along the streets and alleys, until the scorching red left a shocking scar in the hidden alley.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Typhoon Linjiang was getting closer and closer to the city of Anyan. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. In the blink of an eye, the burning fires were extinguished one by one. Only the center of the explosion was still burning due to a small amount of residual liquid fuel.

At this point, the world turned into a desolate blue-gray color, and countless buildings were left with only bare frames, while the rest were burned to ashes.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but behind the burnt wall, Zhou Si tiredly pushed away the debris that was weighing on him, held onto the wall, and staggered out.

Zhou Si's condition was not good. The raging heat wave almost set him on fire. There were burns of varying degrees all over his body, and his flesh was covered in blood.

Zhou Si felt an unbearable pain in his chest. He guessed that his ribs might be broken, or he might have been stabbed by some flying object. His vision became confused and blurry. Zhou Si was not sure whether this physical abnormality was a concussion caused by the impact, or blood loss, or a detached consciousness disease?
There's no way around it; the human body is like this. It's not like a machine where you can just input commands and retrieve detailed data information.

"Cough...cough..."

Zhou Si suppressed his cough twice and spat out the blood clot stuck in his throat.

He glanced at his left arm. The cylindrical batteries had already run out of power and were popping out of his arm one after another.

As for the entire arm, the bionic skin on its surface had long been burned out, completely exposing the slightly blackened mechanical structure. It looked particularly abrupt and distorted, as if the flesh and blood had been eaten away, leaving only iron bones.

Zhou Si continued to relieve the physical pain, and forced himself to walk towards the still burning center of the explosion.

Bursts of low rumbling sounds came from the burning fire, the sound was heavy and distant, like the mournful cry of a glacier collapsing.

From the dying sea of ​​fire, countless burning firebirds flew out and circled upwards. Ucchusma stood up again, with his four arms twisted in a strange posture, looking majestic and solemn.

Zhou Si looked up at the solemn existence. Cracks covered its body, and what flowed out of the cracks was no longer blood, but molten gold.

As the last talisman burned to ashes, it seemed as if the seal on Ucchusma was finally ended, and the soul trapped in it was liberated.

Then, Ucchusma leaned forward, like a spurned statue, collapsed with a loud bang, and crushed the sea of ​​fire.

Zhou Si took a few steps forward and saw a shocking wound on Ucchusma's back. The metal was growing crookedly, like a blooming metal flower. The edges of the petals were sharp and uneven. It had not yet cooled down and was glowing red.

The electric arc not only ignited the fuel tank, causing a series of explosions, but also, at peak power, the roaming lightning snakes, together with the high temperature and shock waves, caused severe damage to Ucchusmo's internal systems.

After a long period of silence, Zhou Si laughed to himself. He looked at his drooping left arm, and his palm cracked weakly. The nanotubes connected to the narrow blade dragged on the ground, making a tinkling sound.

Zhou Si never expected that he could actually kill an armed avatar. This was simply wishful thinking.

There was a shrill sound of sirens in the distance, and the noise of propellers at the end of the rain curtain. The support from the Supervisory Bureau arrived, not too early, not too late, but at just the right time.

Zhou Si's long-tense heartstrings couldn't help but relax, and all kinds of strange whispers sounded from the sound of the rain.

A clear voice suddenly came, driving away the murmurs.

"You are worthy of being Doctor Zhou. Even this thing can't take you down?"

Zhou Si turned his head vigilantly and looked in the direction of the sound, but due to his injuries, his movements were very slow, as if his joints were covered with rust.

In the hazy rain and fog, the other person was wearing a black raincoat. If you didn't pay attention, it would be easy to confuse him with the shadows around him.

Zhou Si tried hard to concentrate and judge whether the other party was a human or an incarnation.

The visitor came to the remains of Ucchusma and knocked twice. After making sure that the thing was completely dead, he strode towards Zhou Si.

"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you."

Zhou Si was stunned for a moment and asked sarcastically, "Are you kidding?"

"Of course not, we just want to invite you to participate in our great project," the visitor shook his head in distress, "but since you always refuse us, Dr. Zhou, we can only increase our efforts."

"You fucking..."

Zhou Si tried to wave his left arm, but his left arm had run out of power and just hung there like a lead weight.

"Don't struggle, Dr. Zhou. After you see all this, you might join us on your own initiative."

Zhou Si retorted forcefully, "Do you think it's possible?"

Countless possibilities lingered in Zhou Si's mind, and he said sternly.

"Tiger!"

The visitor lifted up his raincoat, revealing the face hidden inside. As lightning flashed across the sky, it was a face that Zhou Si was extremely familiar with.

Zhou Si was in a daze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Huo... Huo Daochuan!"

Huo Daochuan raised the tranquilizer gun and pointed it at Zhou Si's body. "Don't worry, Doctor Zhou, it's just a shallow sleep."

Zhou Si grabbed the nanotube wire with his right hand, and without caring about the thin thread cutting his palm, he swung the narrow blade vigorously, trying to chop off Huo Daochuan's head.

But Zhou Si was too badly injured and too tired. Huo Daochuan pulled the trigger and the anesthetic bullet hit Zhou Si's body, flowing through the blood and spreading to every nerve.

Zhou Si's figure shook for a moment, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

Before he completely lost consciousness, Zhou Si saw many people walking out from the shadows. They carried their bodies and stuffed them into body bags.

Zipping up your eyes is like closing your eyes and losing all light.
