Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

They are constantly in motion: dashing in a straight line, dancing around others like flies, or simply circling the sky above the dead city.

In the past, these strange and unusual cubes were like clouds within the "Guixu"; and each swift and shapeless movement was like clouds blown by the wind - however, there was no sun, moon, or stars here.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly extremely inaccurate to still call it a "dead" city.

……

only……

When the spiritual energy storm arises, the usual magnificent scenes will no longer be seen: the clouds on the top of the dead city may, to some extent, have a very deep connection with the essence of Guixu and the spiritual energy.

"Why is it different from before?"

The Snow Ghost stood where he was, looking at the top of the dead city which was completely different from what he had imagined.

Now that the spiritual energy storm has swept through: everything in the sky above Guixu, all the restlessness of the past, has been swept away as the spiritual energy overflows outward. Even so, it is still impossible to see where the top of the dead city has spread to - it seems to be endless, beyond the limit of vision, and straight out of the atmosphere.

But... judging from the sight when stepping into the Dead City, it was only tens or even hundreds of meters above the ground at most - all similar doubts were ultimately attributed to the many issues related to the Dead City.

……

In addition - there are countless traces of man-made projects in the dead city: these traces are not from the old times, but from later generations... Most of them were left by the engineering department of the Taihai chain.

"Guixu" is perhaps the dead city that most resembles a product of the new world: as a temporary palace residence for the kings and a venue for holding board meetings - this dead city has already undergone hundreds of years of transformation by the Taihai chain.

Although due to the cautious approach, they were unable to reach the core area of ​​the dead city and it was difficult to stir up the spiritual energy - but it also gave Guixu some "human flavor": at least, there were some traces of human survival again.

There are a total of twenty-seven huge thrones, arranged according to the positions of the stars; apart from their size comparable to tall buildings, each throne is completely different -

In fact, calling these huge and bizarre "containers" "thrones" is just a continuation of the habit of ordinary humans: each of them is designed and manufactured to temporarily accommodate the existence of the king himself.

When the throne of the king changes - in the history of the entire Taihai chain occupying Manila, such major events that shake the entire Luzon rarely happen - the construction department will come forward to redesign and rebuild the throne to meet the needs of the new king:

However, most of the time, the twenty-seven thrones were not fully occupied - before the spiritual storm began to roll in, only nineteen thrones had been occupied.

……

Normally, there are about 7,000 permanent maintenance personnel in "Guixu" who are responsible for maintaining the meeting room of the directors of the Taihai chain; and in the months before the board meeting, this number will increase tenfold or more.

As for the nearly 100,000 Taihai Chain employees—if their physical family members are included, the number would be countless—their current fate...

At this moment, Guixu has truly become a "dead city".

When the spiritual energy just surged and rushed out from the interior of Guixu with the ritual: they had not yet been tainted by so many strange causes and effects. Not only did the spiritual energy pour out, bringing the last bit of life to this long-dead city...

Moreover, Guixu was already filled with the smell of death: especially the uncontrollable smell of excretion before humans passed away - the people of Luzonli had a very high metabolism, so the amount of waste they excreted was extremely large.

Countless corpses lay everywhere in the dead city - among them were "gift workers" who had relocated with their families, as well as distant technicians who were hired from all over Southeast Asia outside Luzon because of the high remuneration and generous treatment.

Whenever an important date comes, the kings will call upon the transportation departments of their respective groups to meet here.

……

Chapter 298: Greed (Thirteen)

……

……

Thirty-six mountains and seventy-two caves - every subsidiary and subordinate enterprise of the Taihai chain was first established as a department dedicated to serving the king.

The whereabouts of the Kings of Luzon are rarely a secret: every time they travel, they need the assistance of a large amount of engineering machinery; they even need to plan projects weeks or even months in advance to partially transform the urban and wild areas of Luzon in order to meet their stringent needs when traveling.

After all, even in this new world, with the help of the power of ancient artifacts - compared with the lofty status and prestige of the kings, their bodies are too large and bloated... and extremely fragile.

They need protection, meticulous care, professional and even tailor-made treatment - and the departments that assist and serve the kings have more authority than most departments in the Taihai chain.

But now - the many members of the Taihai Chain who remain in Guixu... are the first living creatures to face the power of the spiritual energy storm.

I don't know whether to say it's lucky or unlucky:

If there had not been any sudden changes like the one happening in Manila at this moment, they would have met with a quick and efficient death in the first place.

……

Even in this empty and vast dead city...

The Snow Ghosts did not choose golf carts or other short-distance transportation - piles of corpses were piled on the driveway leading out of Guixu, with occasional burned corpses trapped in vehicles; they made it impossible for vehicles to move in Guixu.

When strange phenomena suddenly occurred in the dead city, even the most professional staff could not suppress the desire to flee... Thousands of lucky ones who moved a little faster - nearly one-tenth of the total number of people - were able to pile their bodies in the nearly 100-meter distance in front of the exit before they died.

The snow ghost jumped lightly in the gaps between the entangled human bodies, looking for a foothold: the death brought by the spiritual storm was not bloody - at least it did not cause the overflow of body fluids in the human body; the ground remained dry, and the snow ghost would not lose balance and slip.

After a series of rabbit-like leaps, the snow ghost climbed up the hill of corpses.

She couldn't help but raise her hands and spin on top of the pile of corpses. Dancing to her heart's content in the dead city without paying attention to anyone around her - the Snow Ghost had wanted to do this for a long time.

Especially, every time she turned around and around...

The most special audiences will come into her sight:

The audience quietly appeared in the edge of the field of vision, blurred by the rapid movement of the snow ghosts - like a crawling hill, the huge corpses of the kings were frozen on the thrones.

……

Now, in this almost deserted Guixu——

Also leaving this world along with their servants were many great kings of the Taihai Chain:

Or should we say that this was the moment when dozens of independent societies and civilizations collapsed and fell? And dozens of unique languages ​​disappeared from human history?

The Snow Ghost had no curiosity about the answer to this question: she simply danced lightly, stretching her skin covered with burn scars, and leaping deeper into the dead city.

……

Even at this moment, this sole witness had no interest in the important nodes of Luzon's changes...

But no matter what, in "Guixu", in the board meeting of the Taihai chain - those kings who had lived in Luzon and Manila for hundreds of years were left with only round and obscure corpses.

The snow ghost passed by the "throne" that reached the sky: it would take an ordinary person several minutes to walk across each throne.

Although the corpses of the kings are all kinds of strange, they can be roughly summarized as follows:

The stout, obese bodies are covered with exoskeletons for shaping, and the densely packed grids are spread over the hill-like bodies to prevent the muscles and skin from being torn due to the terrifying weight and deviation from the human body's own structure. From a distance, they look like dozens of dead super-giant caterpillars, with fluffy bristles covering their bodies.

But if you look closely, you can see that these so-called bristles are actually human limbs that protrude from the body and have lost their original functions.

Worms wrapped in metal scaffolding: this is the first impression that the flesh of the kings gives to many people - of course, not many people dare to say this impression out loud.

In Luzon, the king's body symbolizes grandeur, harmony, and self-contained beauty. In a sense, they are not wrong.

As the top of the food chain in Luzon and Taihai, the kings no longer need to participate in production and construction - this also means that they are not like other demons who are still in the early and middle stages, whose bodies are still responsible for processing and assembly line tasks.

now--

These no longer wriggling, building-like worms have lost all vitality: a perfect match for this disgusting sight.

……

"Hey!!"

The Snow Ghost put her hands in front of her face, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly towards the dead silence: But Guixu is not a real cave, and there is no echo at all... Those people or things that have already died will not give her any answer.

The snow ghost felt extremely...uncomfortable with such silence.

Only the snow ghosts know how nagging they were in the past - just like the random thoughts that flash through the human mind every moment, the kings also have thousands of invisible thoughts like flowing water in every moment.

The difference is that they will spit out these thoughts one by one through the countless mouths around their bodies, just like humans think through the voices in their minds. And each king has a language that has evolved for hundreds of years and is only used by "himself"...

It was easy to imagine how noisy it was here. As the most trusted disciple of the headmaster, Xuegui had always been by his side and had heard many of the king's endless humming noises. A slightly more fragile outsider would have been easily driven crazy by these strange noises.

Taihai Chain spends a lot of money every year to treat its employees - in the words of some insiders, that is "the king's collateral damage" - the injuries and deaths caused by the kings' blessings. But like the ants crushed to death when the elephant turns over, this kind of damage is unavoidable.

……

In fact, the board of directors of Taihai Chain has not had a real "meeting" for a long time.

Each king rarely communicates with other individuals outside of "itself" - the king itself contains an entire society: the differences between each region in Luzon are greater than the outside world knows; this is due to the differences between each king.

Among the great kings:

Only the headmaster is different...

……

Chapter 299: Greed (Part )

……

……

Under normal circumstances, no one would use only their feet to walk around the vast and boundless square in the center of Guixu - even for high-ranking officials like Xuegui, it would be too idle.

But now: Snow Ghost just wants to spend more time to savor the joy that is almost overflowing from his body.

The Snow Ghost was a little tired from walking, so he looked at the square that had become a huge mausoleum: If it were placed in another more chaotic era, these corpses that were tens of meters long or even dozens of meters long would be considered as relics from the gods. But for those who knew the truth, these were not worth fear and awe.

Of course, Xuegui is one of those who "knows" - she thrusts her hand roughly into her mouth, probes into the storage bag on the outside of her esophagus, clenches the "Kaisasai Mazu" statue that she never leaves, and then lets go; in order to calm her overly fluctuating mood.

When she calmed down a little and was able to take out her hands covered with saliva and scratched by her upper and lower teeth, the snow ghost did not silently recite the "Heavenly Holy Mother Sutra" to pray for Mazu Lin Mo Niang as she did in the past...

Instead, there was a violent and fierce joy in my heart:

"All the worms are dead! Hahahaha!"

These most deformed, ugly, and blasphemous multi-limbed aliens; finally all died -

Snow Ghost could hardly express the joy from the bottom of his heart:

Ever since she was born, grew up a little and became sensible...but learned that one day, most of her limbs would be cut off and grafted onto her family members or even her future partner - the Snow Ghost had been looking forward to this day. But when this unexpected surprise really appeared, it was like a giant hammer wrapped in a quilt, hitting her dizzy.

……

"What kind-hearted person...did such a good deed?"

The snow ghost stroked his extremely itchy skin, feeling the pain brought by victory - it was covered with burn scars, and his pores and sweat glands were damaged and could not secrete sweat to take away the heat; every time the snow ghost felt excited, he would feel unbearable heat and numbness.

In fact, she had already had a rough guess in her heart, but the Snow Ghost still suddenly spoke; his voice was hoarse due to excitement:

"So these were all done by the British Alchemy Empire?"

The Snow Ghost seemed to be asking questions to an empty space with no one around, hoping that an invisible alien object would give her answers - she was certainly not a medium who could talk to the dead, and there was no space in Guixu that could allow ghosts to exist.

But the response she wanted still rang out:

"According to the 'Taihai Chain' data system you shared: the 'Royal Alchemy Laboratory' of the 'British Alchemy Empire' has the most knowledge of the technology for utilizing the 'Ancient Human Community Sites'."

A muffled, synthetic-sounding answer came from the side of the snow ghost:

She pulled it out lightly and held it in front of her.

It looked like a human head: but it was not a large surface similar to a sphere like an ordinary human. Instead, it was a "block" that was closer to a cube, like a voxel, or a three-dimensional pixel style.

However, the shape and corners of the edges were not so sharp, still with a curve like a human organ; there were even fluffy hairs. Some brightly colored long red whiskers, which were not sure whether they were nerves or blood vessels, extended from the bottom of the "square" and swayed.

The eyeballs and nose of the head were gouged out and replaced with flesh-colored raised soft bags, which seemed to be a set of buttons that could be pressed; the skin was stretched to the extreme and became tight, and there were traces of stitching left on the edges after cutting and splicing; and the voice that answered the snow ghost just now came out of a hollow mouth without teeth and tongue -

It was completely unrecognizable, even deviating from the facial structure that humans should have, and there were no vaguely recognizable features...

But only the Snow Ghost knows what he is holding in his hands:

It was the Goryeo hacker who had been following Fang Bailu half a day ago - Park Wenzhi; his head had been manually modified and turned into a tool.

……

For some mysterious and untraceable reason, both the Taihai Chain and the British Alchemy Empire have conducted research on the theme of "the smallest unit of human beings"... The coincidence in this subtle and strange direction may explain the fate between the two organizations thousands of miles apart.

Xuegui, and the "Awasan Toulongdong" where she works, which was founded by the head ancestor - happens to be the subsidiary company in the entire Taihai chain that is most proficient in this kind of technology.

As an administrative manager, Xuegui does not have any management responsibilities - in fact, she is always on dangerous field trips, and even has to undertake intelligence gathering work deep behind enemy lines during wartime.

The Snow Ghost has experienced three "reproduction wars" in total: the battle for the seat change in the Taihai Chain Board of Directors created the Snow Ghost's excellent "battlefield corpse transformation" technology.

Combining the principle summaries and practical guides of various schools such as Inner Five Elements Reconstruction, Corpse Driving, Corpse Refining and Yin Gathering, and Five Internal Organ Gods, and learning from those hired nobles from other places - and of course, the most important thing: the joint research and development and careful teaching of the head ancestor - Xue Gui mastered this skill that combines sophistication and efficiency in decades.

Moreover, every reproduction war allowed the snow ghosts' technology to reach a higher level along with the status and scale of the "Awasan Toulongdong": whenever a war broke out - in addition to the auxiliary needs of the battle and the work itself; for the snow ghosts, there were countless more materials to practice.
