Chapter 122: Metallic Bone-Eating Beetle! An acquaintance in the mist
Seeing this scene, the faces of the people waiting outside suddenly became extremely ugly.
The four leaders in particular looked extremely gloomy.
Because they found that they seemed to have been fooled!
The person who gave them the information clearly said that as long as they adopted this method, they could completely avoid the impact of these steel viruses on themselves.
But judging from the current situation, the equipment they wear has almost no effect.
These specially made equipments can indeed protect against the steel virus.
But it was obvious that there was something else in this steel virus that they didn't know about.
"Damn bastard!" Maria clenched her fists, and her previously heroic face was now filled with anger.
Mochaka's expression was also extremely ugly: "Logically speaking, there is no need for the lantern bearer to lie."
Jike gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows if that person is the lantern bearer!"
While these people were thinking, there was a burst of happy laughter from the company.
"Hahaha! Good death!!!"
Lalder, who was in the lead, was very excited and cheered loudly.
"you……"
Before he could finish shouting, he was horrified to find that his mouth was sealed again!
"woo woo woo woo!!!"
Seeing the deputy minister being silenced once again, the group of low-level employees of the company who were cheering on the side immediately shut their mouths, lowered their heads and dared not move.
Then I saw Su Yi coming over.
At this moment, there was anger and fear in Larde's eyes, and he kept waving his arms with a bit of helplessness.
He didn't even dare to take the gun hanging on his waist.
He had witnessed many of Sui Yi's methods before, and he was afraid that Sui Yi would carry out his supervisor's decision to execute first and report later, executing himself first and then reporting to his superiors!
Naturally, his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger, but unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to take direct action.
Su Yi looked at everyone and said calmly: "If you dare to act on your own again, your mouth will be sealed forever!"
Hearing this, a flash of fear suddenly appeared in Lard's eyes, because he thought Sui really had the ability and courage in this regard.
Adhering to the principle of not suffering a loss in front of him, Larde immediately nodded to show that he understood and admitted his mistake.
"Just wait! Wait until I return to the company headquarters and see how I deal with you!"
At this moment, Sui Yi was too lazy to have any more useless communication with this waste.
He knows this kind of guy very well. Once he treats you as his enemy without authorization, he will do whatever you do to him, no matter if you flatter him, give him benefits, or threaten him or take direct action.
You won't get any results from him.
The former will make him more unscrupulous in his malice towards you, while the latter will only deepen his deep-rooted hatred for yourself faster.
At this time, two supervisors from the logistics department and the technical department had come over.
The head of the technical department is at level L20, Scola, who spoke at the meeting.
The head of the logistics department is Michael, a bald middle-aged man with a rank of L18 and a fairly ordinary appearance.
On the way here, the two of them had already gained a preliminary understanding of the situation through the internal surveillance network.
Naturally, we also saw Su Yi's methods and mature diplomatic skills.
Although this young man was of a lower rank than himself, it was obvious that these two supervisors who had risen to their positions through their own abilities were definitely much more mature than Larde.
Scola smiled and held out his hand: "I was in such a hurry to go back and forth that I forgot to give you a formal introduction!"
"You can just call me Scola, the head of the technical department, majoring in the field of micro traffic."
Michael also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Just call me Michael, or Laomai."
After a quick exchange of pleasantries, the three of them came to the temporary meeting room.
Su Yi said: "We will have many wounded soldiers next. Can the logistics department provide support?"
Michael asked tentatively, "What kind of wounded are you talking about?"
Su Yi said: "The skin and muscles are worn out over a large area, so deep that you can see the bones."
Michael hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, the medical department may need to intervene. I can be in charge of the contact and it will be ready around noon tomorrow."
"Based on our current budget, the maximum number of patients that can be treated at the same time is about 200, and the treatment cycle is six hours."
Sue nodded and asked Scola, "Have you seen those metal statues in the yard?"
Scola said: "I have asked people to bring back a few and are conducting expedited research."
"These people are not dead yet. The infection has not yet infected their brains and internal organs," Sue said.
"And these people are about to give birth to children due to the influence of special powers."
"You must be well prepared. I don't want to see any accidents involving researchers or damage to our entire research laboratory."
Hearing this, Scola was shocked, and then said with excitement on his face: "Is there such a thing?"
Then he immediately stood up and said, "Then don't waste time, I'll go first!"
Finally, Su Yi walked out of the conference room and looked towards the foggy Lar City: "It seems that I need to go there in person."
Michael, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this: "You're going there in person!?"
Su Yi nodded: "At present, I am the only one who has the ability to go in and out safely."
Then he looked towards the next camp.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the alliance members will arrive tomorrow."
"Those alien visitors have already suffered a great loss. If we want to take the lead next, we must have something to show for it."
Michael's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Does the supervisor have confidence?"
Sue smiled and said, "If not, there would be no such plan."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to his spaceship.
Michael looked at Su Yi's back, a trace of admiration flashed across his face, then he picked up the communicator and said, "Let the people from the support department come over as well. It seems that our supervisor has some skills."
Back in the bedroom, Sui finally put on his Ashes X-1 power armor for the first time.
"The power reactor started normally!"
"The muscle bundle circuit is normal!"
"Life support equipment is normal!"
"The energy circuit is normal!"
……
Accompanied by a complex prompt sound, Su Yi felt that his body was perfectly wrapped in this power armor.
There were large pieces of metal and protrusions stuck to his skin and joints.
The whole process gives people an indescribable sense of security and comfort.
It's like a weak human being suddenly gained an extremely powerful body.
"Ashe X-1000 system activated."
"Black Sun technology is shocking!"
When Su Yi heard this, she couldn't help but complain: "Fuck, there are advertisements for products that are used by family members?"
Then a familiar voice sounded in my ear: "People in the marketing department have nothing else in their heads except advertising."
"Miss!?" Su Yi was shocked.
Iris said, "I have received news that you are going to explore the fog alone?"
Sue nodded: "Now is a good time for us to take the initiative."
"Once I successfully get out of there, the four organizations that have just suffered setbacks will definitely take the initiative to hand over to us."
"Then the initiative will be in our hands."
"Once the alliance members arrive tomorrow, we will gradually fall into a passive position."
Iris hummed: "Are you sure?"
Sue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I never fight a battle that I'm not sure of winning!"
Elise then changed the subject and said, "Your hand is ready and will be sent to the medical department tomorrow."
"If not, you can go tomorrow." Su Yi said firmly: "Miss, tomorrow will be too late!"
As he spoke, Sui had already walked out of his spaceship.
Elise was silent for a second before saying, "Try to protect yourself."
Communications were then severed.
Kilman quickly ran over, looked at the mighty Sue, and asked excitedly: "Sir, are we going to fight?"
Su Yi, who had thick gauntlets, said, "Just investigating."
"From now on, the situation here is up to you. If anything goes wrong, remember to try your best to protect everyone."
"In times of crisis, no matter who you are, people need a hero to stand up!"
Kilman nodded vigorously immediately: "Understood!"
Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of a group of grassroots staff and armed captains, as well as heads and ministers of various departments, and even Maria and others next door, Sui came to the edge of the fog alone in power armor.
Then he walked in slowly.
Seeing this scene, a group of grassroots employees were filled with sighs.
“This new supervisor seems completely different from the other supervisors!”
"Yes! If it's someone like the deputy director who is afraid of death, he will definitely let us go in first and die!"
"I actually believed the deputy director's lies before, saying that our new director is a waste!"
"If anyone dares to say something bad about the new supervisor again, I will be the first to disagree!"
……
At the same time, Su Yi, who had already walked into the fog, first heard a series of things like sand hitting the eyepiece of his power armor.
Then Sui raised his left arm and directly fired a hot-melt bomb.
boom!
The sound of an explosion was heard, and a huge heat wave accompanied by a shock wave completely cleared out a piece of ground area in front.
Su Yi quickly ran over to take a closer look and found a large number of small insects on the ground that looked like they had been melted.
Each of these bugs is the size of a flea. If it weren't for the detailed analysis capability of the eyepiece, Su Yi would have thought these things were dust if he observed them with his naked eyes.
"Sure enough, it's the larvae of the metallic bone-eating beetle!" Su Yi's face showed an expression of understanding.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should have been a laboratory here that developed shield robots, and some metal bone-eating beetle eggs were stored in it."
"This is a really secret place! This is a secret that the players didn't even discover when they left Rhodes Planet!"
"The people of this secret Eucharistic sect knew! After they came here, they catalyzed and controlled these insect eggs."
"And then these eggs were released together with the metal virus to form this fog."
"The metal virus can stop a large number of ordinary soldiers, while these metal bone-eating beetles can gnaw on the armor of elite warriors."
"More importantly, this metal virus possesses the power of joyful reproduction."
"Whether it's these beetles or these metal viruses, under the influence of this authority, they have been able to reproduce infinitely."
At this time, the movement on Su Yi's side seemed to alarm the invisible existence in the fog.
The next second, two silver-gray things like tornadoes were seen flying towards this side at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, a sneer flashed through Su Yi's heart, and then he raised his right hand.
The traffic was consumed quickly, and the terrifying black fire formed a huge javelin.
boom!
The moment it was thrown out, the huge impact force directly shattered the two tornadoes in front!
At this moment, a huge number of insect corpses were scattered everywhere like dust falling from the sky.
Sui rushed forward quickly and came to the area cleared by the raging fire.
At this moment, suddenly two huge shadows smashed towards him.
Sui simply raised the grenade launcher on his arm and fired two shells at the two shadows.
Along with the heat wave generated by the violent explosion, the metal bone-eating beetles that had just gathered around once again scattered on the ground like snowflakes.
When Sui saw the two shadows, his eyes narrowed.
Because this is a company employee who was turned into a metal statue.
Before Sui could come to her senses, a low voice with a hint of crying rang out.
"Dear colleague, go back! It's too dangerous here! Go back!"
"I have thrown so many statues to remind you, so don't come here to die."
"It's not worth sacrificing your life for the benefit of those company executives..."
As the voice came, a majestic figure about two meters tall walked towards them slowly.
Then Su Yi saw an employee wearing a company ID card, a broken company exoskeleton, and a body that had been completely metalized, walking towards him with difficulty.
When Su Yi saw the man's face, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Dutch!?"
Upon hearing his name, the muscular man opposite him froze in place as if he had been electrified.
Then he quickly covered his face with his deformed palms and said in a crying voice: "No, I am not Dutch. Dutch should not be such a monster."
"Please leave quickly, it's too dangerous here!"
"Go tell the people outside that Dutch has died here..."
"This way, his mother and sister can at least receive a pension of 400 Urobuchi coins."
"Please..."
At the end of his speech, the metal man's voice was full of humility and pleading.
This made Su Yi feel an indescribable feeling.
“I have an idea!”
The unfamiliar voice is still ringing in my ears.
At that time, Dutch was full of energy and vigor. He was full of beautiful aspirations for the future and had clear plans for his life.
He is full of enthusiasm and has infinite yearning for the company.
And then, he ended up like this.
Seeing this, Su Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy.
Because this was my positioning before I traveled through time.
After traveling through time, the location remained unchanged.
If I were not reborn and not a time traveler, perhaps my own limits would not even reach L4, which is the starting point of Daqi.
“What am I living for?”
“Live for whom?”
After two full seconds of silence, Su Yi asked, "Where are the others? Why are you the only one who has become like this?"
Then he spoke to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid! We have already researched the secrets outside, and there is hope that you will be able to become human again in the future!"
Hearing this, Dutch, who was distraught in front of him, suddenly raised his head and widened his eyes: "Really...really!?"
Before Sui could speak again, he saw an invisible force acting directly on Dutch's body.
Dutch was like a piece of iron sucked away by a huge magnet, disappearing into the mist in an instant.
Sui wanted to chase after him, but suddenly heard the alarm of the power armor.
"Warning! Warning! The protection system is about to be breached!"
"Warning! Warning! The air filtration system is about to fail!"
Sui could only grit his teeth, release the divine fire of thorns to disperse the insects around him, and quickly leave the foggy area.
The harvest from this trip is enough.
Two chapters today, three chapters tomorrow. I've been under so much pressure to update lately that I forgot to sell foreshadowing and plot hooks when I was busy. Fortunately, I corrected it in time. The outline is very stable now, and I just need to make a detailed outline for each chapter. This section is very important, and the protagonist will get key growth here. This section is expected to end at around 600,000 words, and then it will enter the starry sky.
