Chapter 1 Death Crisis
Ten thirty at night.
There is still half an hour before the lights in the dormitory are turned off.
Su Xia came back from the library, washed up briefly, turned over and returned to her upper bunk. Just as she was about to rest, she suddenly saw a delivery box next to her pillow.
There was no sender's information on the box, and the four italicized words "Star Express" were printed on the front.
"Star Express? Is there such a courier company in China?"
Su Xia looked puzzled and glanced at her roommates who were playing games.
Could this be a prank by these guys?
He opened the box, and a black bracelet and a thin instruction manual immediately came into view.
Su Xia picked up the instruction manual and took a look. There was only one sentence on it.
[This bracelet is very powerful. Wear it and you will experience another life]
"so smart?"
Su Xia pursed her lips, not quite believing it.
This bracelet looks ordinary and there is nothing special about it.
He threw the instruction manual aside, picked up the bracelet, and tentatively put it on his left hand.
Suddenly, the bracelet shrank sharply, tightly clamping his wrist, and a tingling sensation like an electric current instantly hit him.
"this……"
Su Xia's eyes went dark and she fell limply onto the bed, as if she had fallen into a coma.
His roommates were playing in a five-person team and didn't notice his situation at all.
…
Blue star.
Abandoned City, Suburban Experimental Factory D3-6, Room 69.
Strings of data flowed across the light blue curved screen. Experimenters in white coats walked back and forth in the laboratory, constantly recording the various results displayed on the analytical instruments.
On the pure white round table in the center of the laboratory, four cold mechanical arms tightly grasped a man covered in wounds.
More than a dozen sharp needles pierced into the man's body, with translucent hoses connected to the back of the needles.
Suddenly, the body trembled and the closed eyes slowly opened.
"Where...where is this?"
Su Xia was in a trance for a moment, staring blankly at the unfamiliar scene in front of her.
No way, I have traveled through time?
The clothes are a bit sloppy, and there is not even a dump truck.
“Could it be that I am dreaming?”
Su Xia wanted to pinch herself, but her hands were firmly grasped by the mechanical arms.
At the same time, strands of light blue energy were being drawn out of his body, passing through more than a dozen translucent hoses and flowing into a metallic oval container next to him.
Su Xia could clearly feel that something was being lost from his body. He seemed to be in a state of exhaustion after overwork and his body was extremely weak.
A bald, fat man walked up to Su Xia and asked with a smile, "Commander, how does it feel to have your spiritual energy drained away?"
"Wang San?"
The name of the fat man suddenly appeared in Su Xia's mind .
Then, a huge amount of memories suddenly poured into his mind, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind, causing his head to ache.
Meteorites...
Psychic power...
Mechanical Era...
This is a world dominated by robots.
He is the commander of a human resistance organization. He was betrayed by his subordinate Wang San. Now he is imprisoned in this laboratory and is about to be drained of his spiritual energy and die in humiliation.
"I was betrayed?"
Su Xia frowned, trying hard to digest the memory.
This planet is called Blue Star, and its previous technological civilization was somewhat similar to that of Earth.
But just twenty years ago, countless meteorites fell all over the world, and a large amount of sticky blue liquid gushed out from the impact sites. These liquids containing huge energy were later named "psychic energy" and replaced traditional energy.
However, not long after, the robots driven by psychic energy actually developed self-awareness and evolved wildly with the help of psychic energy.
Then came the long war.
Although humans also used psychic powers to embark on the road of evolution, their initial evolution speed was always slower than that of robots.
Within a few years, humanity was completely defeated on the frontal battlefield and gave up the fight for all major cities.
The old era ends and the mechanical era arrives.
Most of the remaining humans surrendered, but a few continued to fight.
There are seven large resistance groups that have not yet been conquered, namely Oro, Lucy, Meirui, Dragon City, Poro, Feika and Rain Forest. In addition, there are countless smaller resistance groups around the world.
Su Xia is the commander of a small organization. He has been active in the southwest area outside the small city of "Feijia City" for a long time. He is committed to rescuing humans enslaved by robots and occasionally sabotaging small-scale operations of robots.
Thanks to the excellent matching mechanism of the Southwest Region, he was able to get away safely every time after taking action.
A year ago, he rescued Wang San from a secret laboratory.
Through questioning, it was learned that Wang San's family members all died in the robot's fire, and he had a blood feud with the robot.
Later, Su Xia gradually trusted this seemingly honest fat man and entrusted many things to him, until a few days ago - Wang San betrayed their route of action.
His organization fell into a trap and suffered heavy casualties.
After reading all the memories, Su Xia felt...
A bit outrageous!
This fat guy's parents were killed by robots, but now he is still working for robots?
"Wang San, what would your parents think of you now? They all died at the hands of robots!"
"Mom and Dad? Just let them die."
Wang San grinned, and the fat on his face piled up.
He seems to be a filial son.
"Commander, we should focus on the present and enjoy the present. Why should we dwell on the painful past?"
"So you betrayed your compatriots and chose to be a dog for robots?"
"What's wrong with being a dog?" Wang San asked with narrowed eyes, "Some people want to be dogs but can't. Now that I have made a contribution, even if I become a dog, I will be an honorable dog."
“…”
Being a dog...
Can you still have a sense of honor?
Su Xia probably lived in peacetime for too long, and this was the first time she had seen such a shameless person.
Wang San patted Su Xia on the shoulder, and with a smile on his greasy face, he said, "Commander, I know you look down on me. You are great and noble, but... what's the use? I will live a comfortable life without worries about food and clothing, but you will die."
“…”
Su Xia was speechless.
He was probably really going to die.
But he hadn't seen any of the islands being recaptured yet, and he was unwilling to die here.
It is even more absurd to die at the hands of such a shameless person!
Su Xia gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and struggled hard for a few times, but the mechanical arms holding his limbs did not move at all.
no!
The martial virtue is not sufficient!
He is also a psychic creature, far more powerful than an ordinary person, but at the moment he is wearing a psychic suppressor around his neck and can only watch as the psychic energy in his body is drained away bit by bit.
Wang San said with a smile: "Give up, Commander, this is your final destination!"
"Fuck..."
Su Xia cursed inwardly, if she had known she would not have worn that ordinary bracelet.
Without even a cheat, did you travel here just to die once?
Just then, his eyes suddenly felt a sharp pain.
The next moment, a few lines of illusory text suddenly jumped out.
[Name: Su Xia]
[Race: Human]
[Faction: Human Resistance Organization]
[Psychic Level: Level 3.6 (Weak State)]
[Titanium particle level: Level 0]
[Remaining life: 78%]
[Active skills: Psychic blast, Psychic crush, Leaping slash]
[Passive skill: Armor affinity]
[Psionic Talent 1: Life Burning]
[Psionic Talent 2: Death Prophecy]
[Character description: You can obviously make a living with your looks and have a comfortable job in any city where humans surrender, but you firmly refuse those recruits and choose to join the resistance organization. You hone yourself on the brink of life and death time and time again, and gradually grow into a well-known human commander.]
Character panel?
Isn't this something that only exists in games?
Su Xia was stunned and almost thought she had traveled to the game world.
With a thought, he immediately opened the description of the "weak state".
[Weak state: Due to the extraction of your original spiritual energy, your true level has dropped to level 2.7 and is constantly decreasing. Please replenish your spiritual energy in time.]
Well, he is indeed very weak now.
Due to wearing a psychic suppressor, his current combat power is not much higher than that of an ordinary person, and those active skills are all gray and cannot be used.
If he could still use his psychic powers, these small metal mechanical arms would not be able to trap him.
Su Xia focused his attention on the two psychic talents. He thought to himself, "In my memory, this body didn't have any psychic talents awakened. How come it suddenly has them now?"
In this world, psionic power is the basis of evolution.
Not only robots and humans, but even cats and dogs on the roadside, and even the grass and trees in the mountains, may evolve due to psychic power.
After becoming a psychic creature, there is a certain probability of awakening one or two "psychic talents".
The conditions for awakening are not stable. Some people wake up after a good sleep, while others need strong stimulation to wake up.
Most talents are similar to ordinary skills, such as blasting, concussion, physical strengthening, etc. A few talents are more special, such as clairvoyance, mental invasion, mental pollution, etc.
This sudden talent may be his hope of escape!
Time was running out, Su Xia did not hesitate and immediately checked the first talent.
【Life Burns】
[Talent Introduction: One life-saving attack consumes one year of life in exchange for a short period of terrifying power]
[Talent Description: Are you in trouble? Have you exhausted your spiritual energy? Are you surrounded by countless muscular men? Burn your life! Use your life to open a way to live! ]
[This talent is unique]
Su Xia's eyes lit up.
This skill is just right for his current situation.
Anyway, he is still young and has plenty of life to burn.
burn!
If you don’t burn it now, you will have no chance!
Then, he checked the second talent.
【Death Prophecy】
[Talent Introduction: You can predict danger in advance. After using it, you will see how you will die.]
[Talent Description: Have you heard of Spider-Man's spider sense? Yes, this ability is stronger than spider sense. Not only can it predict danger, but it can also let you see how you will die in danger.]
[This talent can only be used three times a day, and the number of times cannot be accumulated]
[This talent is unique]
Seeing the description of this talent, Su Xia was shocked.
Can you predict death?
In the gaming world, this is considered cheating!
These two talents, one for life and one for death, seemed to be tailor-made for him, giving him the possibility to escape from here.
Su Xia looked at the two talents, quickly calmed down, and began to make a plan in her mind.
"You can use Krypton's life force to break the mechanical arm, and then break the psychic suppressor on my neck... Now time is urgent, the enemy is strong and I am weak, the advantage is not in my hands..."
No delay!
The longer he delayed, the more spiritual energy in his body would be drained.
If his psychic energy was drained, it would be useless even if he broke the suppressor. He couldn't always use Kryptonian's life to escape from this experimental area with a large number of guards.
At this moment, Wang San suddenly came to Su Xia pushing a cart.
On the cart, there was a set of black armor.
Wang San smiled and asked, "Commander, do you recognize this set of armor?"
"Yeah, my stuff."
As far as memory goes, this set of armor has accompanied the original owner through many years of ups and downs. After continuous transformation, it has been upgraded to a level-three psychic power armor.
Wang San patted the armor and said, "Commander, what is the activation code for this armor? The researchers here are too weak to break it."
"You want to use it?" Su Xia suddenly smiled, "With your body shape, I'm afraid you can't wear this set of armor."
“Even though I can’t use it, I can sell it to others.”
Wang San was not angry and still had a smiling face.
He advised: "Commander, death can be a simple thing, but it can also be not so simple. I can provide you with many ways to die."
Su Xia: "What do you want to say?"
"Commander, you don't want to die in humiliation, do you?"
As he spoke, Wang San moved a stool and sat next to Su Xia.
Maybe he was too fat, and standing for a long time made him feel very tired.
He went on to say, "As long as you tell me the unlocking code, I can give you a quick death."
"How good is it?"
"How about one shot?"
Wang San took out a pistol and waved it in front of Su Xia.
At this moment, Su Xia discovered that he could actually see Wang San's character panel.
【Name: Wang San】
[Race: Human]
[Camp: Human Surrender Camp]
[Psychic Level: 1.1]
[Titanium particle level: Level 0]
[Remaining life: 99%]
[Active Skill: Thick Armor]
[Passive Skill: None]
[Psychic Talent: None]
[Character description: After failing to get a primary school degree, Wang San became a street urchin, relying on his parents for support all day long. Later, the war broke out, his parents died in the robot's artillery fire, and he was also captured and taken to the laboratory. Just when he was panicking, you saved him.]
[Later, he was caught by the robot again while on a mission. The robot asked him to be an undercover agent for you. He wanted to refuse, after all, you were his savior, but the conditions the robot offered him were too good...]
I see.
After reading the character description, Su Xia roughly understood what happened.
This Wang San is just a street urchin with a weak will. The original owner must have been blind to think he was so honest.
Wang San looked at Su Xia confidently and asked, "How about it? Commander, have you thought about it?"
Su Xia nodded seriously: "Well, I just thought about it, today is not an auspicious day for death."
"hehe……"
Wang San tapped Su Xia's face with the butt of his gun, still full of confidence.
He smiled and asked slowly, "Commander, do you think you can still escape from here?"
"Well, that's a good question."
Su Xia also smiled and instantly activated her life burning talent.
The next moment, an unprecedented huge force surged into his limbs.
He took a deep breath and struggled hard!
“Crack—”
The four mechanical arms that locked his hands and legs shattered.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the laboratory, and the lights changed from light blue to a dazzling crimson, as if covered with a layer of blood.
