Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 112: Doll factory or upgrade treasure land?

The puppet factory is located in the industrial area of ​​Krat City. The huge chimney emitting thick smoke day and night can be seen from afar.

These chimneys were like black monsters, constantly devouring the surrounding air and releasing thick smoke, shrouding the entire industrial area in a layer of gray.

The factory area surrounded by metal fences stretches as far as the eye can see, with huge factory buildings inside. Looking through the gaps in the fences, one can clearly see groups of mechanical puppets wandering around.

There are housekeeping dolls, service dolls, work dolls, and even a few more powerful guard dolls.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Pinocchio couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw the large number of puppets.

There are countless puppets wandering around the factory alone, and there may be even more puppets in the factory buildings with closed doors.

Any pursuer who dares to enter the factory will be drowned in the sea of ​​puppets and there is no possibility of survival.

The number of enemies is so large that they can kill any invader alive, even though the enemies are basically low-level ordinary dolls.

Li Nanke smiled softly: "Don't forget why I took you to the police station first. Your new ability is a powerful weapon against low-level puppets!"

After absorbing the abilities of special dolls twice, Pinocchio's attributes also changed accordingly.

[Puppet P——Pinocchio]

[Type: Summoned/Growable]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Rating: 13→67]

【Details: ……】

[Special Ability 1 - Chain Hook: The heavy and sharp hook can cause piercing and striking damage to the enemy, and the chain hook can also be used to pull the enemy far in front of you. ]

[Special Ability 2 - Electromagnetic Arm: The electromagnetic arm can cause melee electric damage to the enemy, and can also release a large-scale "electric burst" at one time, causing paralysis and other control states to enemies in the range. This ability has a particularly strong effect on metal mechanical enemies. ]

Li Nanke's "magnetic storm" is also effective against low-level puppets, but spirituality is not his major, and his total spiritual energy is pitifully small. After releasing two or three magnetic storms, his spiritual energy will be exhausted.

When Pinocchio releases the 'Electric Burst', it will also consume a lot of ego elements, but this guy can absorb the ego elements from the dead puppets to replenish himself. As long as it is operated properly, it is equivalent to a perpetual motion machine.

Li Nanke's large-scale killing stunt "Killing Jungle" can not only be used again through a long period of natural recovery, but also be restored by killing a large number of enemies.

With the two perpetual motion machines working together, the puppet factory is no longer a deadly and dangerous place, but a treasure trove of energy, a paradise that can quickly increase the combat power of two people!

Li Nanke looked around and saw factories everywhere in the Krat Industrial Zone.

After searching for a while, he soon found a suitable target.

In the empty factory covered in blood, there were a few working dolls and an old gantry crane.

After clearing away a few puppets that were in the way, Li Nanke let Pinocchio sit on the huge hook of the crane and operated the crane to lift him to a height of nearly ten meters from the ground, almost touching the top of the factory building.

Pinocchio is short and thin, and the huge hook hides his whereabouts, making it difficult to detect him.

Even if an enemy occasionally discovered him, it would be difficult to harm Pinocchio in a short period of time without anything to climb on.

"Wait for me here, don't expose yourself."

"Okay boss."

Pinocchio nodded and watched Li Nanke stride out of the factory.

After a while, he heard bursts of angry roars from the puppets in the distance, followed by a large number of dense and rapid footsteps!

The sound was getting closer and closer. The horrifying noise made people shudder. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They were afraid that hundreds of puppets were moving together!
A figure flashed at the open factory door, and Li Nanke appeared in a panic.

The 'powered protective armor' that covered his entire body was already covered with scars, but he did not stop for a moment. He walked straight through the factory gate and quickly ran towards the back of the factory.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Behind him is a densely packed ocean of terrifying monsters made up of countless puppets!

A butler doll in a tuxedo, a waiter doll in a vest, a work doll holding a large wrench, a housekeeping doll in a black and white maid outfit...

The various puppets have long lost the calmness that machines should have. Controlled by their rudimentary self-consciousness, they only know how to kill and destroy.

Pairs of red electronic eyes flashed with ruthless murderous intent, and those stiff and hideous faces were full of madness!
Like piranhas smelling blood, they rushed into the factory like crazy, chasing Li Nanke in a huge crowd. No puppet noticed Pinocchio hiding on a huge hook nearly ten meters above the ground.

Li Nanke had run to the corner at the end of the factory, waving a bloody war hammer to resist the army of puppets.

The fierce sound of hammers hitting each other was endless, but he was facing a huge ocean of puppets. No matter how strong he was or how powerful his body was, he would be ruthlessly overwhelmed by the puppet army.

The attacks from all directions caused the power protective armor's energy to leak out like a floodgate, and the armor's alloy surface was covered with cracks and severely damaged.

"Pinocchio!"

Li Nanke suddenly shouted.

At this time, all the puppets rushed into the factory, and the empty factory was almost filled to the brim. Pinocchio looked around and saw human heads moving crazily under his feet.

Hearing the boss's instructions, the boy perked up.

He suddenly stretched out his left arm, and electric light flashed on the metal left arm composed of magnetic coils, and the "electric burst" that had been accumulated long ago was released in an instant!
A blinding flash of lightning burst out, sweeping across the entire factory!
Pinocchio's thin left arm seemed to turn into a thick electric dragon, with endless electric current flowing from it.

In an instant, sparks burst out among the army of puppets, and crackling sounds were heard continuously!
The crowd that was moving wildly just now seemed to have been paused.

All the low-level puppets froze in place, their limbs stopped moving, and only the occasional flash of lightning flowed between their bodies and limbs.

It was at this moment that Li Nanke jumped up, stepped on the motionless heads, and ran quickly towards the center of the factory.

His physical strength is incredible, including his nerve reflexes, limb coordination and flexibility, which have reached monstrous levels. He can run on countless heads and still maintain his balance, and even run at an extremely fast speed.

Suddenly, Li Nanke stomped his foot hard, causing the metal head of a puppet to collapse.

He used the momentum to leap high into the air, holding the bloody hammer wrapped in thick thorns upside down.

"Boom!"

The war hammer slammed to the ground, and several puppets around it flew backwards and fell. At the same time, countless thick thorns grew and spread wildly underground with the war hammer in his hand as the center, and finally pierced out of the ground fiercely!

In an instant, the spikes pierced through the hard metal bodies, and the tangled thorns turned into a naked killing jungle!
The killing jungle spread across most of the factory building. Hundreds of low-level puppets died instantly. Only a few puppets in the corner were out of the attack range of the thorn jungle and luckily escaped.

With the death of hundreds of low-level puppets, a large amount of source energy poured into the body, and the 'self' absorbed a lot of source energy.

He injected all the energy he gained from killing the guards and many low-level puppets into the "Flame Waterfall".

[Trait: Fire Falls]

[Level: Level 0 → Level 3 (17%)]

The second-level human characteristics were upgraded to the third level like a rocket.

You should know that the source energy consumption of second-level traits has increased several times compared to first-level traits. Killing a large number of puppets to obtain source energy is enough to upgrade any first-level trait to the maximum level.

As a large number of puppets died, dots of azure blue ego also gathered on Pinocchio's body.

The young man, who had released the "electric burst" and looked listless, now looked energetic as if he had taken a tonic.

The already dim electric current on the metal left arm suddenly became full and violent.

[Puppet P——Pinocchio]

[Type: Summoned/Growable]

[Quality: Normal → Normal+]

[Rating: 67→92]

Li Nanke pulled up the bloody hammer, and the thorny jungle turned into ashes and dissipated in the wind.

He casually dealt with the remaining puppets, nodded to Pinocchio with satisfaction and said, "Let's clean up the puppet debris first, and then we can have a few more waves later."

Pinocchio, who had never seen the 'Killing Jungle', was completely stunned. He felt that he had become stronger after absorbing a lot of ego elements.

He finally understood what the boss meant when he said 'You will become stronger soon'.

This is really a rocket-like speed of improvement.

The puppet factory, a dangerous and desperate place that everyone fears, has become a real treasure land for him to quickly increase his strength under the leadership of the boss.
