Chapter 282 The choice of destiny at the crossroads
[MK6: Earth-Drilling Robot]
The black curtain slipped, and the Hextech robot developed by Professor Heimerdinger appeared in front of everyone. .
The whole body of the earth-penetrating robot is silver, with a metallic luster. It is both sturdy and full of a cold sense of technology.
At the front of the machine is a huge silver drill bit with threads, sharp and hard, as if it can penetrate any obstacle.
Behind the drill bit is the part where the boom and the frame are connected.
This is the most important part of the earth-drilling robot, responsible for providing strong power and stability.
The last thing is the metal body of the earth-penetrating robot, which is about three people tall, huge and heavy.
When passing through the safe passage, there are subtle stone wall marks left on the metal body.
From the appearance of the robot in front of him, it can be seen that Piltover went all out for this operation in Stillwater Prison.
Buzz! Buzz!
Wearing a blue uniform and gold-rimmed glasses, the Hextech inventor walked up to the earth-drilling robot and input commands skillfully.
Following his operation, the earth-penetrating robot started slowly, made a low sound, and drove to the location of Huo Jixing.
Whoo! Whoops!
The Hex core roared, the silver drill began to rotate, and gusts of wind appeared.
Until the speed reached its extreme, the hurricane swept through the low prison, causing flying sand and rocks.
The members of the police team stepped aside one after another, away from the sand and drills.
They followed closely the movements of the earth-penetrating robot, expecting it to successfully find the location of the hidden experimental base.
Caitlin and Camille also paid attention, waiting for the final result.
Click! Click! Click!
The ground-drilling robot continued to roar, cutting into the specially treated hard ground.
Fine stones fell like raindrops, covering the surrounding ground.
Only a moment.
A hole appeared on the ground, and more and more stones and dust were piled up.
But the hole is getting bigger, but the desired experimental base location has not yet been found.
Huo Jixing looked calm and looked at the earth-drilling robot in front of him, marveling at the changes brought about by Hex Technology.
Caitlin was a little anxious.
After being entrusted by Jace, she knew the importance of this operation and the urgency of time.
Looking at the position of the earth-penetrating robot, she was a little suspicious of Huo Jixing.
Perhaps the location of the experimental base is not down at all.
The ground-drilling robot was running at full speed, and the fine gravel and dust it brought up felt a little damp.
Buzz!
Just when Caitlin was suspicious, the earth-drilling robot suddenly made a sharp sound.
Then, the drill bit seemed to have touched something hard, making a metallic impact sound.
Caitlin's expression changed and she immediately walked to the side of the earth-boring robot.
The Hextech inventor shut down the earth-drilling robot at the right time, causing it to stop where it was.
Through the hole made by the drill bit, a thick layer of metal sandwich panels can be seen.
Camille nodded slightly, signaling Caitlin to come back first, and then asked the Hextech inventor to continue starting the earth-drilling robot.
As the drill bit rotated, vibrations came from the underground. The metal sandwich panel could no longer hold on and quickly shattered, revealing a hidden dark passage.
“I’ll go down first.”
Camille walked to the entrance of the cave and spoke softly to Huo Jixing and Caitlin.
Immediately, the Hex device with a blue glow on her thigh fired a hook that could be attached to the terrain.
The steel hook quickly shot to the bottom of the hole and adhered tightly to the solid wall.
Camille grabbed the hook, pulled it gently, and slid down lightly.
After a while.
Camille's calm voice came.
"It's safe, you can come down."
Hearing Camille's words, Huo Jixing and Caitlin looked at each other, nodded slowly, and prepared to enter the cave entrance.
In the dark passage.
There are lights on the dark top, like stars dotting the night sky, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
The space inside the passage is surprisingly wide, allowing four or five people to walk side by side.
After landing.
Huo Jixing was looking around, waiting for Urgot to come down.
Urgot was actually too big, so he had the ground-drilling robot dig the hole, which delayed him for a while.
When Urgot came down, Caitlin and Camille walked over.
"We have to be careful."
Camille said uneasily as she looked at the passage extending to an unknown place.
"This should be the secret experimental base of the forces behind the Eye of Zuan. The danger is essential."
Huo Jixing nodded in agreement.
He looked up at the entrance of the cave and saw many members of the police team staying on the ground.
On the one hand, it is to leave a safe escape route and ensure that you can leave quickly when encountering danger.
On the other hand, it is also to protect the earth-penetrating robot from being destroyed when it is left unattended.
The dim lights flickered in the passage.
The group stayed quiet and walked along the flat and thick road.
In the corners of the metal walls on both sides, you can still see moss and mold intertwined.
The figures of the people also cast long shadows under the light, which gradually changed with their steps.
Huo Jixing was always alert to the movements around him, and his pupils were filled with red-golden light.
He saw many clouds rising, but they were a little far away and no longer nearby.
At the same time, he also discovered that the metal walls in the passage had been specially treated.
Psychic power cannot extend too far, up to about ten meters.
Faintly, Huo Jixing heard the subtle sound of water flowing.
Then he immediately thought of the wet rocks and dust brought up by the previous earth-boring robot.
“This passage is built at the bottom of the Piart River.” Huo Jixing sighed secretly.
“No, that’s not right.”
He rejected his inner thoughts.
"To be precise, this secret experimental base should have directly penetrated the bottom of the Stillwater Prison and penetrated deep into the river bottom."
"And such a huge project was actually hidden from the Piltover Council. It seems that someone inside is helping to cover it up.”
As they go deeper.
Camille seemed to be aware of this, with a cold look in her eyes.
With her keen sense, she observed that the air in the passage was somewhat humid, and she also saw water stains on the metal walls on both sides.
"Pilt River!"
After passing a corner of the passage, everyone's vision suddenly became clear.
In front of a group of people, four almost identical passages appeared.
Thick dark gray iron gates were erected in front of each passage, blocking their way forward.
Looking carefully, the surface of the dark gray iron door is extremely smooth, with no trace left.
Behind it, there was a faint sound of gears running.
Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and he looked at the flashing red light above the iron gate as if he was aware of it, and waved gently.
Buzz! Buzz!
Red golden fireworks appeared out of thin air.
Then, it split apart and shot out like arrows, falling towards the red light on the iron door.
Click! Click! Click! Click!
The red light shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground.
The thick dark gray iron door was also burned by the power of the flames, making a violent sound, and bursts of thick smoke rose.
This means that their internal defenses have been breached and burned to the ground.
Huo Jixing's actions quickly attracted everyone's attention.
However, after seeing Huo Jixing's half-smiling expression, they fell into silence.
Huo Jixing remained silent and stood with Urgot, waiting quietly. Camille's eyes flashed, and a trace of hesitation flashed across her hard and cold face, and finally turned into determination.
“Let’s split up.”
After seeing Huo Jixing’s extraordinary strength, she had concerns in her heart.
And as the chief spy and decision-maker of the Philos family, Camille is also very interested in the Source Project.
Otherwise she would not have personally participated in this operation.
“Yes!”
Caitlin also agreed.
Before she entered Stillwater Prison, the Gila Mann family and Jace talked to her respectively, and the content was very simple.
Obtain data from the experimental base.
Caitlin was very knowledgeable about her own strength, so she nodded in agreement.
"I have no problem either." Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he answered.
After a brief discussion.
Camille and Caitlin each led a police team and entered the two passages on the right.
"Sir, us?"
Urgot moved his body slightly, looked at the two remaining passages on the left, and cast his eyes on Huo Jixing.
"I'll take care of you."
Huo Jixing answered casually, and then he seemed to remember something and patted Urgot's armor.
“Don’t show off. If there is danger, make sure you are safe first.”
In his field of vision, many clouds were entangled together. The situation in the four channels was very different.
Urgot nodded, moved his armored legs, and entered the selected passage.
Huo Jixing is very confident about Urgot's strength. There are not many people in Piltover and Zaun who can take his life.
Then he walked towards the leftmost passage.
In the dark passage.
The lights above were getting dimmer, and the humid air was mixed with a putrid smell.
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, and the red-gold light in his eyes became more intense.
There seems to be something unusual in this passage.
After walking a hundred steps forward, the rancid smell became stronger.
Huo Jixing came to this wide square, which was filled with all kinds of waste and garbage.
Some are rotten and smelly, some are contaminated with chemical pollution, and some are glowing purple.
These garbage items piled up like mountains, almost filling the square.
Many smells mix together, making it hard to breathe.
"Is this a garbage dump?" Huo Jixing felt a little disappointed.
He looked at the dirty garbage dump in front of him, smiled helplessly, and was about to leave.
boom!
Suddenly.
Inside the dim garbage dump.
Light up the dazzling lights, illuminating the surrounding environment as if it were daytime.
In the corner, the robots that picked up and decomposed garbage raised their red eyes and aimed at Huo Jixing.
They seemed to be receiving or executing some kind of instructions, and their movements began to become agile.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
More than a dozen copper-colored robots suddenly ran like savage giants, trampling on the garbage on the ground and rushing towards the only human being in the field.
Behind them, there was a robot whose arms turned into gun barrels, turning their guns and pointing them at Huo Jixing.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Cannon fire roared and flames shot out.
I saw the scorching hot bullets fired one after another, following a fixed trajectory, passing over the copper-colored robot in front, and shooting towards Huo Jixing.
【Garbage Dump Guard】!
【Ballistic Robot】!
In this inconspicuous garbage dump, two different models of robots are shining with the brilliance of technology.
Huo Jixing looked at the army of robots rushing over, looking a little surprised, and then he reacted.
“Our traces are completely exposed to each other’s field of vision.”
Seeing this, he shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his left hand, pointed at the robot army in front of him, and drew lightly move.
Buzz!
The red-gold flames emerged instantly, turning into cold sword light and passing by the garbage dump guards at high speed.
I saw these garbage dump guards split in two under the light of the flaming sword, and fell to the ground. The scene was extremely tragic.
Just finished dealing with the garbage dump guard in front of me.
The rapid-fire bullets fell like a torrential rain, dense and rapid.
They followed the calculated trajectory, leaving Huo Jixing without any room to dodge.
“But why should I dodge?”
Huo Jixing laughed softly, knowing that these robot armies were just here to test his strength.
【Suzaku·Flame Flurry】!
Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed.
The Nanli fire in front of him, which had not yet been extinguished, seemed to have received his call, soaring into the sky and burning brightly.
The flame also has its beauty.
At this moment, the red-gold fire was particularly dazzling in the garbage dump, like the arrival of the blazing sun, dispelling all darkness.
The flames that continue to burn are like the brush in the hand of a painter, turning into a rain of fire all over the sky, facing the rapid bullets.
Boom!
As the Nanli fire ignited, everything in the garbage dump was violently burned.
Whether it was the robot army or the garbage piled up in the square, they were quickly reduced to ashes by the fireworks.
The surrounding walls were also affected.
Under the high temperature, it melts and solidifies, melts again, and solidifies again, making the originally flat wall surface become uneven and covered with traces of scorch and distortion.
Huo Jixing stood on the edge, looking at the completely empty garbage dump, his spiritual power swept away.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
Other than two different models of robots and garbage, there is nothing valuable hidden.
He withdrew his gaze and walked straight towards the twisted wall.
The passage Urgot chose was right next door to him.
Now that the robot army in front of him has been dealt with, Huo Jixing decided to go to Urgot to have a look, and he might make new discoveries.
The solid wall made of metal melted like ice in the face of Nanli's fire.
Huo Jixing followed Urgot's clouds and moved forward with firm steps.
Within the thick walls, he saw many intricate metal pipes, with some alchemical liquid remaining inside.
Occasionally he would see the ventilation conversion device, making a low humming sound in the dim environment.
It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into the construction of this experimental base.
Move forward in time.
Urgot walked slowly along the passage he chose with a solemn expression.
The chain gun in his hand was raised early, making a trembling sound, always waiting for the opportunity to pour gunfire.
“This is?”
With the help of the shining light, Urgot looked around and frowned.
He saw traces of graffiti on the metal walls on both sides.
These graffiti are messy, some seem to be weird symbols, and some look like random lines.
In addition, there are some residual battle marks, such as bullet holes and impact dents, and scratches from swords and axes.
The environment is also slightly dirty and messy, with broken mechanical parts scattered on the ground.
Urgot also saw human skeletons in some corners.
Perhaps for a period of time, the bones became pale and fragile, silently telling the horror and despair of this place.
Urgot narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: This place is less like a laboratory and more like a mental hospital.
Hearing the movement from ahead, Urgot raised his chain gun and grinned.
"I detected the presence of scum."
