Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 194 The game is out of control
As the armor and weapon hardened, Lisa suddenly found herself able to move.

Robert used all his strength to pull her up. When she stood up, the metal armor shook slightly and tinkled.

He tapped the thing, shaking his head in surprise.

"This is really an amazing masterpiece!" He sighed.

"I designed this armor," Lisa reminded him.

"Yes." He echoed.

At this time, Lisa was covered from head to toe in a layer of metal-like skin, which looked smooth and seamless, reflecting the surrounding things like a mirror.

Of course, Robert can also see his own deformed image.

Although he was bareheaded and without a hat, his high collar stood up to protect the back of his head.

Robert bent down and picked up the sword.

There was a lot of grass growing tall and lush by the river, and he swung his sword across it, trying the edge.

In an instant, strands of cut down grass fell into the water like a whirlwind.

"How does it feel?" he asked, handing the sword to Lisa with the hilt forward.

"It's so exciting!" Lisa nodded, but suddenly felt a little worried.
"But will this work?"

"It's real, like everything in this world, so why wouldn't it work?"

As he answered, he held up the dart:
"Is this what you designed too?"

Lisa nodded,
"This is a secondary additional weapon."

She gently inserted the long sword into the scabbard on her left shoulder.

Then stretched out a gloved hand and raised the dart:

"It turned out to be a weapon used by Australian aborigines. I made some changes."

She grabbed the dart by the end and threw it with her arms up.

I saw the dart passing through the air, the metal wings on it made a "swish", crisp and sharp, it passed through many finger-thick branches, drew an arc in the sky, and then returned to where Lisa was standing. With the sound of metal rubbing against each other, it returned to her hand.

"God knows how long it will take to subdue the virus with these ancient weapons?"

Robert shrugged:

"Yeah, we know that technically the virus could affect everything in VR.

However, it is more likely to infect certain special programs or new files.

What Harper did was take some off-the-shelf programs and put them to work elsewhere.

This is a very sensible and quick way. "

He nodded sharply and said:
"Should work."

"But what do you do?" Lisa asked.
"Is he going to give you armor and weapons or something?"

Robert looked at himself.He also wears a full set of costumes that he wears in the real world,
"Of course not."

He shrugged, then fell silent.

Just then, he felt something gurgling down behind him, like ice water.

He moved his shoulders, stretched out his hands awkwardly, and scratched between his shoulders and his spine. Unexpectedly, he suddenly retracted his hands because he felt pain in his fingers, like needle pricks.

He looked up at Lisa, who was also staring at him intently.

"Turn around and take a look." She quietly reminded him.

Robert turned his head and saw a stream of water rushing down behind him.

The cold water poured down his back, making it itchy and unbearable.

He felt as if a belt was tightly wrapped around his body, and a heavy object seemed to be pressed down on his shoulders, making his waist bent and his back hunched, and fine white water splashed on his chest Splash, forming one giant X after another.

"Lisa, what's going on?" he asked strangely, but unexpectedly the voice seemed extremely weak.

The snow-white spray made a deafening sound, and immediately disappeared without a trace after falling behind him.

"It's been a while," Lisa said.

Robert looked down at himself:
Two narrow belts crossed in a criss-cross across the chest and, passing over the shoulders, tied to a wide belt.

He reached behind his back and felt something cold and hard, like metal.

He tentatively touched it, first touching hard iron, and then touching a very smooth wooden thing.

However, it was only when he felt for a trigger that he suddenly realized the exact shape of the thing, a medieval weapon:

"It's a crossbow!"

Lisa walked over from behind him, and the armor made a "creaking" sound of metal collision.

Robert turned and asked her to help unhook the weapon from his shoulders and sling and hand it to him.

"I forgot I ever made something like this."

As he spoke, he took the heavy crossbow and spun it in his hands.

"Yes, you designed it," Lisa said smartly,
"Remember? When we decided to let the guards in the castle use a long-range effective weapon..."

Robert nodded.

He remembered that adding these bows and crossbows to games was once all the rage and was very trendy.

At that time, the two Roberts discovered that if the players who played the game swaggered through the gates without any difficulty, then there was little point in keeping guards on the walls.

Therefore, guards with crossbows are added to defend, or attack.

"The clothes you're wearing have changed, not the same as before," Lisa said.

Robert looked down at himself again.

Just now he was only concentrating on noticing the changes behind him, so he didn't care that Harper had changed his attire, and let him put on the knight's attire:

leather trousers, leather jacket, and high leather boots;

A sharp, sheathed knife hangs from his hip.

He touched the leather sheath with his hand and it felt as smooth as silk satin.

"If we can get out alive," he said,
"Let's write another small program, so that players who play the game can choose their favorite clothes in the closet to wear."

"That's a good idea. But for now, focus on trying to get out of here." She looked around, then went on,
"Do you know where we are?"

Robert put the crossbow on his shoulder and said:
"The only river in this virtual world is the Stix River. It flows through the Misty Woods and flows from this place to the Swamp of Sighs."

He bent down and squatted on the edge of the river, looked at the rushing water, pointed to the left and said,
"The river flows in that direction, which means that the Night Castle is in this direction."

Lisa looked in the direction Robert pointed and asked:

"How far are we from there now?"

Robert shrugged.

"It's not too far away. We have to go upstream. Once we get out of this forest, we can see the castle on the mountain."

Lisa shielded her eyes with one hand and looked over,
"There's something on the water..." she said quickly.

Robert squinted his eyes and looked into the distance:
"I saw nothing but clouds in the sky."

Suddenly, he stopped talking and realized that what he saw was not clouds, but something that was violently stirring the river water and turning up white foam.

Lisa grabbed Robert's arm and dragged him away from the bank.

"What did you put in the river?" she asked him desperately.

"Nothing, just a few fish, a few small electric eels." He turned his head to look at her and replied.

At this time, the surging waves were approaching them step by step, and a kind of metal shone in the middle of the foam.

Robert stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes, and carefully identified the strange outline. That monster was indeed very familiar...

"Robert! Come on!"

Robert had just turned his head, and in an instant, the thing surfaced.

It turned out that this monster was a giant eel, like a huge boa constrictor.

Disfigured by the virus, it has changed shape and size, making it even creepier.

This giant eel is more than five meters long, with a flat, stupid head and a wide mouth with two rows of pointed teeth.

The eel has no eyes, but has some thin, wavy whiskers around the mouth.

The long beard shot in the direction of Robert and the two of them, dancing towards them in the silent air, and suddenly, the monster leaned out of the water and rushed towards them.

"It's not like the giant eel in our game," Lisa said quietly,
"What the hell is it?"

Robert shook his head, "I don't know. But it is definitely not something designed in our game."

Regardless of the beads of sweat on his forehead, he struggled to remove the long-handled crossbow slung over his shoulder.

He only heard the crossbow click and slide into place, and he quickly took out the thick and short arrowhead and put it into the groove of the crossbow.

"That giant eel still has scales on its skin!" Lisa said nervously.

Robert raised the heavy crossbow, aimed at the monster, and slowly rotated his body.

What Lisa just said was right: there were indeed pieces of irregular metal flakes scattered on the monster's gray-white body.

"On the surface, it looks like your armor." He said to Lisa.

"Harper must have activated the virus when he was dressing us..." Lisa surmised.

"In this way, the virus caused the monster to develop lesions and grow this armor-like scales."

Robert stated her inference.

He pulled the curved trigger, and the crossbow made a "whoosh" sound.

The short and thick arrow flew forward in the air, shot the monster's throat, and hit the irregular round scales, making a "clang" sound.

The body of the giant eel became stiff, the whiskers around the mouth "suddenly" stood upright, the mouth opened wide, exposing the long throat, and the muscles bulged.

When its mouth closed, Robert and Lisa clearly heard the sharp sound of the teeth coming together.

The monster rolled up, almost stood upright, and rushed towards Robert and the two like an iron tower.

"Run!" Robert yelled, pushing Lisa aside.

The monster pounced again, and with a "boom," pounced on the spot where the two of them were standing a few seconds ago.

Lisa released the dart. She turned her body and stably projected it towards the monster. The dart just pierced the thick skin on the monster's back at an angle, and then continued to sprint upwards, arcing forward in the air, and then reversed. Lisa reached out to catch it.

Thick gelatinous liquid gushed out from the giant eel. The monster's mouth opened wide and it let out a hoarse scream. Its whole body trembled violently and swung its tail to beat the green trees and bushes, causing branches and leaves to scatter everywhere. yes.

Robert quickly fired several arrows, and the arrows "swished" down on both sides of the monster's body. The giant eel was stung and wanted to run away desperately, but happened to hit a big elm tree, and the big tree was knocked down. The roots are pulled out from the soil and rock crevices.

Seeing the big tree fall, Lisa hurriedly turned around to avoid it. The leaves fell on her like rain with the branches, and then two thick branches brushed her petite back and pushed her to the ground.

A long, sharp branch plunged inches into the ground like a sharp sword, nearly slashing her face.

Lisa struggled to stand up, endured the pain in her back and quickly escaped.

Lisa was fortunately protected by armor and was not seriously injured.

But she felt that there must be bruises all over her body.

She was even more worried that after returning to the real world, the bruises on her body would not heal in time.

Suddenly, she felt a coppery taste in her mouth and realized something had pierced her cheek.

She could still move her upper body, but she felt as if something was weighing on her legs.

She bent awkwardly and saw that her legs were pressed under the big tree trunk. Fortunately, the two thick branches prevented the trunk from smashing directly into the soil.

The giant eel crawled farther and farther, its head kept turning back and forth, and the whiskers around its mouth swayed back and forth. It seemed that it was testing its surroundings, and it could distinguish a strong smell of blood from dozens of smells.

It crawled forward heavingly, plunged headlong into the fallen tree, and its tendrils danced back and forth among the leaves and branches, trying to detect or identify abnormalities, one of which actually licked Lisa's face, from her cheek After sweeping, it touched the ear again, leaving thin and long marks on the skin.

Due to the abnormal sense of touch, the monster became violent, and it rushed towards the obstructing branches, gnashing its teeth, desperately trying to catch Lisa.

Lisa just wanted to draw out the sword, but unexpectedly she used too much force, the sword was pulled obliquely, and it couldn't be pulled out from the scabbard.

The eel almost reached the top of her head, gnawing at the surrounding trees with its claws.

Lisa knew that the giant eel's teeth were as hard as steel and as sharp as dozens of sharp knives, and the surrounding air was filled with the smell of tree sap and pine resin.

At some point, those sharp metal teeth approached her legs.

Lisa screamed.

Robert shot out the last arrow, hitting the monster's raised back, but the guy didn't retreat at all.

Robert slammed the crossbow aside, pulled out his knife and rushed towards the giant eel.

"Mr. Harper," he called out,

"Save us!"

Alan Harper sat in front of a row of flickering monitors, feeling the urgency of the situation, disappointed and uneasily pressed the switch that determined the end of the game.

However, there was no response at all.

He pressed the key again, then tried another set of commands to turn off the machine.

However, all commands are disabled and cannot be used.

There is no response to the switch key:

It appears that the virus has taken over the entire program.

Harper could only watch in horror as the giant eel snapped through the last barrier separating Lisa, snapping through the branch.

He heard Robert yelling "Help" and saw him attacking the monster from behind, stabbing it with a sharp knife.

The giant eel's body was stabbed and split open, Robert quickly stepped back a few steps, fell to the ground with a "thump", and lay there motionless.

Harper leaned forward, turned off the main switch, and the image on the monitor disappeared;

He felt powerless, and couldn't bear to see what happened next.

The giant eel's metal teeth finally broke through the last branch, chewing it to pieces.

Its two long whiskers swept back and forth across Lisa's face, brushing through her short, lush hair, making an annoying sound.

It licked Lisa's metal armor stickily, and hesitated to crawl forward, as if wanting to distinguish the difference between the soft flesh and the hard armor.

A whisker flew in front of Lisa's eyes, and she quickly grabbed it with her gloved hand and yanked it violently.

The giant eel backed away in pain.

"You deserve it, you were hurt too!" Lisa smiled triumphantly.

But seeing that Robert was still lying not far from the monster, the smile on her face disappeared.

After a while, the giant eel opened its mouth again, and rushed towards Lisa, biting her face viciously with its sharp teeth.

Suddenly, everything seemed to stop.

The first is that everything loses its clarity, and the details become hazy, like an image out of focus.

All colors are out of shape.Many colors were changing and fading, browns becoming sandy, crimsons becoming pinks, blacks becoming grays.

The color on the monster's body also faded away one after another, and the bright and coquettish patterns disappeared without a trace, leaving only square "holes" one after another.

After beating the heart of this terrifying giant eel for a while, it was finally resolved into a series of white lines and geometric figures of squares and rectangles.

In the end, even the lines and geometric shapes disappeared altogether.

After an unknown period of time, the overall structure of the virtual reality world trembled, those colors lost the elusive light and dark changes before, the three-dimensional sense was gone, and everything appeared in a two-dimensional state.

Lisa glanced around and seemed to see rows of computer programs rolling up, shuddering and disappearing through the air.

Soon, the world finally settled down.

Everything became clear again, like a person with poorly adjusted eyesight regaining the focus to see clearly.

Ariel strode over to Lisa's side, bowed and bowed her head in front of her.

There was something ominous about the girl's listless black eyes when she smiled.

"You're lucky, I'm here!" she said hoarsely.
