The two of them fell in the air for about half a minute before landing on the ground. Coincidentally, Lu Ye landed heavily on Wei Guanqing. Wei Guanqing only let out a low growl and then stopped moving.
"Are you alright?" Lu Ye endured the pain and quickly got off Wei Guanqing.
Wei Guanqing didn't respond. He seemed to have fainted. Although Lu Ye had Wei Guanqing as his cushion, he still felt so much pain from falling from such a high place that he was seeing stars. He even felt that the stronghold had set the sensory index to be too realistic.
"Hey! Don't tell me you're going to be smashed to death by me just like that!”Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ye quickly shook the unconscious Wei Guanqing, but Wei Guanqing still did not have any reaction.
What Lu Ye didn't know was that Wei Guanqing's damaged code group was rapidly reassembling. As the code group recovered, some memories flashed through Wei Guanqing's mind.
Wei Guanqing was concentrating on drawing on a white drawing board. As he raised his brush, a vivid green mantis appeared on the paper. With a few strokes, he outlined the shape of the green leaf. However, at this moment, the paper suddenly shook. The green mantis turned into a black scavenger. Its two sharp claws cut through the paper and came at Wei Guanqing.
Wei Guanqing was so frightened that he retreated. However, the scavenger suddenly spread its wings and flew straight at him.
"Bang!" Following a gunshot from behind, the scavengers in front of him were shot into pieces.
Wei Guanqing turned his head and saw a man holding a sniper rifle looking at him. He looked a little familiar. It was the man called Ah Hong in his memory. The scene that used to be a studio had now become a dark pipe full of scavengers in the recycling station.
"There are too many of them. We have to change our weapons!”As soon as Hong finished speaking, he killed another scavenger that tried to pounce on him.
Wei Guanqing opened the Equipment Vault. The interface of the Equipment Vault appeared in front of him. It was filled with all kinds of weapons and defensive equipment. He took out a high-pressure shotgun, which turned into a portable program chip from the inventory.
Ah Hong unloaded the sniper rifle in his hand, turned it back into a chip, and returned it to Wei Guanqing. Then, he took the chip from the shotgun and began to load it.
"What is this thing that's so slow!" Hong looked at the loading progress bar and asked.
"The slower the speed, the greater the power!" Wei Guanqing said.
Seeing that the two of them had lost their firepower, a few scavengers in the distance waved their sharp blades and pounced over. Wei Guanqing raised his hand to block, and a blue protective barrier blocked the attack of the scavengers.
"I really don't understand. We've come here several times already. Is Old Gu so sure that the entrance is here?”Hong asked.
" He must have a reason for saying that," Wei Guanqing said as he activated the protective shield to block another wave of attacks from the scavenger bugs.
"F * ck! Finally! Let me try the power of this thing!”After loading the weapon, the chip turned into a shotgun in Hong's hand.
As the high-voltage electric current tore through the air, the moment it touched the scavenger, the explosion stirred up lightning that filled the sky. The lightning produced by the explosion whistled towards other bugs, triggering a new round of explosions. In the blink of an eye, a large number of insects had been eliminated.
"This thing is too f * cking awesome!" Ah Hong shouted excitedly and fired a few more shots, wiping out the remaining bugs.
Wei Guanqing and Ah Hong didn't care about these bugs at all. Wherever they went, there was lightning and thunder. If there was a smell in this place, it would be the smell of burning bugs.
"It's a pity that you can't use such a cool thing! I'll talk to Old Gu later and ask him to change your code!”Hong said excitedly.
The two of them continued to move forward. Although the number of insects did not seem to decrease, they seemed to be afraid of them. They only dared to watch from afar and did not pounce on them as recklessly as before.
"Are you afraid of these things because I beat you up?”Hong said.
Wei Guanqing felt a slight vibration around him. He thought it was the impact of a shotgun, but he felt it again just now.
"Earthquake?" Wei Guanqing said uncertainly.
As soon as Wei Guanqing finished speaking, the pipe suddenly shook violently, and the bugs instantly fled without a trace.
"What happened? Where did this earthquake come from?!" Hong asked in confusion.
A blinding white light suddenly lit up in the pipe behind him. The white light immediately dissolved the code of the carnivorous insect on the ground when it came into contact with it.
"Run!" The two of them shouted almost at the same time.
As they ran, Ah Hong suddenly stopped when they saw the end of the pipe. Wei Guanqing quickly pulled his hand, but it was as hard as a stone statue. It didn't react, which meant that Ah Hong had gone offline.
The moment the white light swallowed Ah Hong, Wei Guanqing jumped into the abyss. However, he did not expect that the abyss was also filled with endless white light.
Wei Guanqing woke up from the illusion of the white light and found himself lying at the bottom of the abyss. The light was a little dim. Not far away, Lu Ye was fighting with a scavenger. His white uniform was stained with blood, and there were four to five bug corpses lying on the ground.
Lu Ye was obviously exhausted. When he was not paying attention, the insect's sharp blade cut another wound on his face, and blood instantly flowed non-stop. However, his reaction was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he swung his arm and threw the bug down from the air. He rushed forward and kicked the bug to end the battle.
"I didn't know you had some ability!" Wei Guanqing said.
When Lu Ye heard Wei Guanqing's voice, he immediately turned his head. His expression was complicated, and it was hard to tell what he was feeling. However, the bloody wound on his face made his handsome face look even more ferocious.
"I thought you were dead!" Lu Ye's voice was trembling.
"Don't worry, I can't die like this!”
Wei Guanqing walked forward and quickly healed the wound on Lu Ye's face.
"Who exactly are you?!" Lu Ye couldn't help but ask. Wei Guanqing's ability was clearly far beyond ordinary people.
" It's hard for me to answer this question because I don't know myself," Wei Guanqing said." But the good news is that I've been here more than once before, but I don't remember the details.”
"Then what are you doing here?”Lu Ye was speechless. He had heard that in the old world, there were scavengers who specialized in rummaging through trash cans, but what treasure could there be here that Wei Guanqing had to search for over and over again?
" I'm looking for an entrance, if I remember correctly," Wei Guanqing replied.
"Entrance?" Lu Ye seemed to have thought of something and said," If all the codes recycled by the virtual cities will eventually reach here, it means that each pipeline represents a city's transmission port, and the tens of thousands of pipes here are connected to the tens of thousands of virtual cities in the stronghold.”
" That sounds like it," Wei Guanqing agreed.
"Does that mean I can go home if I find any transmission port?”Lu Ye said excitedly.
Hearing Lu Ye's words, Wei Guanqing gestured for him to look up. In this round abyss, the pipe closest to the bottom was as high as seven or eight floors. Moreover, the walls were smooth, so it was impossible to climb up.
Lu Ye stared at the pipe that was emitting light above his head for a long time. He thought of several methods, but none of them could be implemented.
At this moment, a black cloud suddenly descended from above, blocking the only source of light above them.
"Carnivorous Insects!" Lu Ye exclaimed.
At this moment, the surroundings were so dark that he could not see anything. Wei Guanqing suddenly thought of his equipment warehouse. Just as this thought flashed across his mind, the interface of the equipment warehouse appeared in front of him. He also saw the barrier bracelet in the memory image.
The insect tide flapped its wings and covered the sky. The two people's ears were filled with a deafening buzzing sound.
Lu Ye had never seen such a scene before. He hugged his head and squatted down on the spot.
Just as the bugs were about to pounce on him, Wei Guanqing finally loaded the bracelet successfully. He waved his hand to block, and a barrier emitting blue light protected the two of them.
Lu Ye held his head and waited for a few seconds, but he did not receive the attack he had expected. He looked up and saw Wei Guanqing supporting the barrier above his head like a god under the blue light.
Wei Guanqing quickly rummaged through the equipment warehouse, but strangely, he could not load any weapon chips. The barrier was getting thinner and thinner under the attack of the bug horde.
"Can you use this thing?”Wei Guanqing took out the chip of the weapon.
"No!" Lu Ye took a look at it and shouted," This thing is too old. The stronghold updated the code version a few years ago, and this thing was eliminated after that!”
"It's over, it's over!" Wei Guanqing said helplessly as he looked at the nearly transparent protective shield above his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the protective shield let out a crisp crack, and a blue wave of light erupted along with the swarm of insects.
The impact of the light wave seemed to have temporarily deterred the attack of the swarm, and the entire abyss became quiet.
" I have a bad feeling…" Lu Ye said in the darkness.
As expected, a bolt of lightning burst out from the darkness, and a huge snake-shaped monster covered in garbled characters darted out of nowhere with lightning and devoured the scavengers.
When the carnivorous insects encountered their natural enemies, they immediately fled in a frenzy. However, the snake-shaped monster could actually fly, and it shuttled through the swarm of insects with lightning.
It was the lightning in the darkness that allowed Lu Ye to see a pitch-black pipe in the distance behind him. He didn't care if it was the nest of the monsters and called Wei Guanqing to run in.
