Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

The Valkyrie was very strong, and Lin Wei was weak at the moment, so she pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.

Lin Wei was a little confused and helpless as he watched Anna lying on him sobbing non-stop, her shoulders shaking, her beautiful long chestnut hair scattered on his chest. She didn't have the fierceness of a female leopard in the battle just now, nor did she have the fierce violence like an execution in the last walk. She was left with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Wei hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly,

"Okay, I'm fine, aren't I?"

The girl has cried so much for you, how can you still push her away?

"Wuwuwu... Fortunately, nothing happened. If anything happened, I... I..."

Anna raised her face and said with tears in her eyes,

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been careless for a moment and given that guy the opportunity to take advantage of you, you wouldn't have ended up like this... I'm sorry, Lin Wei... I'm really sorry..."

it's over...

Lin Wei looked at the ceiling speechlessly.

Something terrible is going to happen. What sin have I committed?

I shouldn't have come to this shabby place, let alone gotten involved in this shabby business!

(ノへ￣,)

"Don't worry, I'm very tough. Didn't I tell you that? Even the Herrscher couldn't defeat me. This was just a minor incident."

Lin Wei was full of helplessness. He was completely at the point of starting the fight. He decided to take it one step at a time and let things take their course.

"Wow...it's already this late, and you're still bragging..."

Anna was originally full of grievances, but Lin Wei's words made her laugh and cry. She raised her head and looked at him, choked up, and cried even louder.

"...To be honest, you still don't believe it."

Lin Wei said helplessly.

There's nothing I can do if I don't believe him. I can't call Pandora out on the spot to show her as proof, right?

She will protest!

Also, it's really heavy...

Lin Wei felt like she was almost out of breath. Who said girls are weak? Stand up!

But what else can I do? Can I push it away or what?

Since you're already lying down, just keep lying down.

After crying for a long time, Anna slowly got up with satisfaction, turned her face away, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at Lin Wei again.

Lin Wei rolled her eyes and didn't even bother to help me.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Anna turn around, bend down and gently help him up, but she still lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

"How are you feeling now? Are you okay?"

Anna asked softly, her voice was very soft, like a piece of white paper that could let light through.

"I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

Lin Wei tells the truth,

"Come on, let's keep going. It's time to meet the mysterious 'Ant Queen'. He probably doesn't have many cards left to play."

Anna hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth, and finally closed it obediently. She just put Lin Wei's arm on her shoulders and carefully helped him up.

"I'll take you away."

Lin Wei opened her mouth, but when she turned around and saw Anna's tightly pursed lips and her red and swollen eyes full of stubbornness, she could only smile helplessly.

"Then I'll trouble you..."

Chapter 55: Bonds

Anna lifted Lin Wei up, put one arm around his back and stood steadily. She glanced around and stretched out her other hand to pick up the trekking pole stuck in the crack of the ground.

"oops!"

As soon as Anna's hand touched it, she couldn't help but cry out in pain, and immediately let go and withdrew as if she had been electrocuted.

"This thing of yours... is it broken? It's leaking electricity!"

Anna looked at the cane that was quietly stuck in the place with an incredible look on her face. The dull cane looked ordinary. She only felt that her hand was still numb with pain even now.

"Or did you accidentally plug it into the power cord? That must have hurt!"

"..."

Lin Wei turned his head to look at Anna's face, which was very close to him, then lowered his eyes to look at her hand, making sure that she was not really injured. Then he turned his head to look at the trekking pole standing on the other side and said quietly,

"She might be angry..."

Anna didn't understand what she heard.

Angry? Who?

Before she could think about it, she saw Lin Wei had already reached out and grabbed the cane. She only had time to exclaim "be careful" before she saw Lin Wei pull it up safely and hold it in his hand, just like usual.

"Look, it's okay."

"?"

What just happened?

Anna was slightly stunned, but the pain and numbness in her hands that had not completely subsided still reminded her that what had just happened was not an illusion, which made Anna feel confused and aggrieved - why was I the only one injured?

"Let's go quickly. We just had a fierce battle. Now is a good time to go deeper."

Lin Wei casually turned the page and changed the subject.

There's no way, Pandora's bad temper is really hard to explain.

Anna, whose attention was successfully diverted, nodded seriously. She also understood the principle that the longer the night, the more dreams there are.

She had weighed the current situation carefully. If she continued to move forward with Lin Wei, she might encounter other dangers. However, the enemy hiding in the dark was so cunning that leaving the already weak Lin Wei here would be even more dangerous.

Anna thought clearly that there was no better choice but to move forward.

So he put strength into his shoulders and steadily lifted up Lin Wei's weight, walked over the scattered debris on the ground, and walked steadily towards the downward passage where the loud noise had gradually stopped.

As soon as they entered the winding narrow passage, Anna was caught off guard and quickly retreated with Lin Wei.

The smoke inside was so thick that I almost passed out!

Such a spooky design, do you know the importance of ventilation?

Lin Wei cursed inwardly as tears streamed down her face from the choking. Actually, it wasn't the choking, but the thick smoke was truly blinding!

"Cough cough..."

Anna was caught off guard and felt uncomfortable with the smoke. She couldn't help coughing.

After catching her breath, Anna gritted her teeth, as if she had suddenly made up her mind, and earnestly instructed Lin Wei,

"Hold on tight, take a deep breath!"

Wait, what are you going to do?

Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

Before he had time to think about it, let alone stop it, Lin Wei felt his body suddenly lighten, and he was held horizontally in Anna's arms.

As expected! Lin Wei even felt a little sad and angry. This princess hug was too embarrassing. The last time Fu Hua hugged her like this was just before!

But Anna moved very quickly, not giving Lin Wei any time to react. Before she could take a deep breath, she was led by Anna into the smoke-filled corridor.

Lin Wei had no choice but to suppress her anger and let Anna do what she wanted.

Sure enough, coming here was a mistake, Lin Wei thought helplessly...

(ノへ￣,)

Entering through the mouth, it is very narrow at first, then it can pass through.

The stairwell was in a mess, with the remains of the dead soldiers completely torn to pieces by bullets scattered everywhere. The number of them was much more than the one or two hundred seen during the retreat.

After walking a hundred steps, the view suddenly opened up.

Anna rushed out of the smoke-filled tunnel carrying Lin Wei, and then placed him next to the machine gun that had also been withdrawn from the passage, handing him over to the remaining constructs for protection. She then prepared to rush into the battlefield to wipe out the remaining enemies.

But I found that there were no enemies here that I needed to face?

The entire floor seemed to have been ruthlessly plowed. Tables, chairs, unknown instruments, and partitions that separated areas were all smashed to pieces. Together with the brick and tile fragments peeled off from the ceiling, walls, and floor, they buried the remains of the dead soldiers on the ground indiscriminately, like a chaotic and dusty landfill.

The lighting facilities that were also damaged occasionally flashed sparks, and the few surviving lights flickered, barely emitting some dim light, preventing the place from being completely plunged into darkness.

Not to mention the enemies, there is not even a single thing left that can be called complete!

Lin Wei reached out and opened the huge ammunition box beside him, took a look inside, exclaimed "Wow", and said in amazement,

"I was thinking, they've run out of bullets. No wonder it's so tragic here... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, these guys really don't know how to save money."

"Isn't this something you can control?"

Anna felt it was a bit of a waste, as that was the amount of ammunition carried by an entire Titan mecha!

If they had led the way, the journey would have been much smoother. What a pity.

"After all, I'm not the legal controller. I only had time to give them a few clear instructions, like 'shoot,' 'clear out the assassins,' 'protect the machine guns,' and so on. I didn't have time to do more detailed operations... And you saw the result?"

Lin Wei was also helpless. He used the power of the Corrosion Key to directly hijack and tamper with the command codes of these constructs, allowing them to obey his orders.

But after all, he used viruses, which were inevitably rough - after all, no matter how powerful a virus is, it is still a virus - and destroyed their original underlying systems. As a result, these originally intelligent constructs could only execute his orders rigidly.

Just like the heroes in the paradise who were corrupted by the Herrschers, although it can obtain their bodies, data, memories, power and authority, in the final analysis, these are all it can get.

Once they were separated from his constantly updated control instructions, the result was just as we saw before our eyes - these guys were extravagantly and foolishly throwing away all their ammunition, and then loyally and rigidly guarded around the machine guns, waiting for his new instructions.

How should I put it? There are gains and losses...

"Okay, there's nothing worth worrying about here. Let's keep going. The end shouldn't be far away... No need to help me, I can walk by myself!"

Seeing Anna preparing to support her again, Lin Wei quickly waved her hands and sincerely refused.

"I don't know what we'll encounter if we go any further down. I can't become a burden to you."

Be brave!

Anna thought with some dissatisfaction, but faced with Lin Wei's insistence, she had no choice but to give in. After all, he was right. If she insisted on supporting him, if something like the Demon God's death squad's sneak attack happened again, she might not be able to respond in time.

"Don't worry about me. I'm just exhausted, but I'm not really injured. As for you, if I hadn't pushed you away just now, I'm afraid I should be the one holding you."

Lin Wei looked at Anna's worried eyes and simply joked with her. Sure enough, she suddenly became depressed. So she smiled again and added comfortingly,

"But it was because of your desperate protection that I wasn't actually hurt. So I should still thank you, Anna."

Anna sniffed, lowered her head, said nothing, and did not insist any further.

A machine gun without bullets was just scrap metal, so Lin Wei threw it there without any reluctance, waved his hand, and walked deeper with the remaining constructs.

Only six constructs remained, the rest having been sacrificed in the previous battle. So Lin Wei divided them into three teams, two in front and two in the back, and formed a formation towards the corridor leading to the next level.

Two were responsible for exploring the front to prevent the enemy from ambushing them.

Two are responsible for guarding the rear to prevent the enemy from attacking from the rear;

The remaining two machines followed Lin Wei and Anna. If any team in front or behind was eliminated, they would take over.

"I can't believe it, it looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

Anna saw all of Lin Wei's arrangements and intentions, and there was a glint in her eyes. The qualities Lin Wei had always demonstrated made him a very qualified battlefield commander.

Although she knew that Lin Wei was using those constructs as cannon fodder, no matter how kind-hearted Anna was, she could not empathize with those man-made objects.

only……

"Lin Wei, what on earth are these guys?"

Anna withdrew her gaze and looked at the two constructs walking far ahead. Their black and red bodies looked gray after being stained by the smoke, but they seemed to have a little more life.

"It's clearly a man-made machine, capable of being hijacked by hackers. Yet, it can also be transformed into a deadly weapon... right before our eyes."

Anna's voice became lower and lower, and then after a slight pause, she added in a low voice,

"Only humans can become dead warriors..."
