Chapter 385 Crystal Man

Soon, the surrounding scenery became clear again.

However, the crowd looked around, found no change, and it was still in the abandoned machine tool factory.

Li Chengjie couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Have we already arrived in another world?"

Bai Ye nodded, "Yes!"

Ji Ruyue said, "Isn't this the same as before? How can you be sure we've entered another world?"

Bai Ye said, "Look at the crystals around."

Everyone was stunned, and then Allen was the first to exclaim, "It's different, it's not the same as the original."

In order to pass through the crystal transmission into the mirror world, everyone pushed all the crystal-filled machine tools together.

And now, those machine tools had all returned to their original positions!

This point alone could prove that they had arrived in another world.

However, because it was a mirror world, everything was extremely similar, naturally giving people a feeling of disbelief.

And at this moment...

Bai Ye suddenly sensed something and shouted, "Get down!"

Following Bai Ye's shout, everyone couldn't help but shrink their heads, and then, a large number of crystals suddenly whizzed past them from above, hitting the wall on the side.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a section of the wall was blasted open and collapsed outwards.

The crowd looked in the direction of the attack, and standing by the railing on the second floor of the factory were several humans...

Well, perhaps they should be called humanoid life forms?

More accurately, their bodies looked like humans, or rather, their outlines as life forms were completely humanoid, but they were covered in crystals of various colors.

Flesh and blood were completely connected with crystals, or it could be considered that crystals replaced a part of the flesh and blood, or crystals grew from a part of the flesh and blood, both connected and interdependent.

As for the humans themselves who had become crystallized...

Bai Ye actually felt that the word "life forms" was not very accurate either, only calling them that because they could still move.

If Bai Ye were to say it, these guys were more like zombies.

The faces hidden under the crystals, just looking at them, did not seem very intelligent.

The expressions were not those that a creature with normal thinking ability could have.

Speaking of which, Bai Ye actually knew the origin of these crystallized humans, they were manufactured by the Rhine Company to replace the artificial humans as new warriors, and besides combat ability, the most important thing was obedience.

So, obedient zombies?

This was indeed in line with Rhine Company's requirements.

However, except for Bai Ye and Li Chengjie, everyone else did not know this.

The moment the three crystallized humans appeared, all four of them were plunged into deep astonishment. From their appearance, the crystallized humans still had human characteristics, and they looked like they had mutated into this form. The visual impact and inner shock at first glance were immense.

On the other hand, there were a total of three crystallized humans. After a brief standoff, the three crystallized humans flipped over from the second floor and jumped to the first floor.

Bai Ye looked at the stunned crowd and shouted again, "What are you waiting for? Shoot!"

Allen was the first to come to his senses, quickly raised his plasma rifle, and pulled the trigger forward!

Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut...

With the sound of gunfire, streaks of light blue energy beams shot forward.

However, the three crystallized humans were unbelievably agile.

Although Bai Ye described the crystallized humans as obedient zombies, compared to the zombies in Bai Ye's impression, these crystallized humans were far superior to the shambling zombies in terms of speed and agility.

After quickly dodging Allen's shots, the three crystallized humans rapidly approached. At a distance of about five meters, the three crystallized humans leaped high at the same time.

Allen shouted, "Switch to melee weapons, engage!"

As Allen spoke, he placed his hands on his sides.

Metal boxes were attached to the sides of Allen's calves. When Allen reached out, the sound of mechanical rotation came from the metal boxes.

In the next instant, the top of the metal box opened, and two short swords were ejected, landing directly in Allen's hands.

On the other side, Davis did not hesitate. As an assault soldier, he was meant for close combat.

After drawing a kukri from his waist, Davis also charged forward immediately.

Bai Ye secretly glanced, Ji Ruyue did not intend to make a move, which was normal. Ji Ruyue was a reconnaissance operative, not a combatant. Perhaps Ji Ruyue could also fight, but this was not her main job.

Gonzalez was tall and strong, but he served as fire support in the team. Close combat was not Gonzalez's responsibility, and he was not good at it.

After all, being strong did not mean being suitable for close combat. Gonzalez's physique was visibly clumsy.

As for Li Chengjie...

This guy was nonchalant, clearly not planning to make a move again.

Alright, he had to be the one to do the hard work again.

Bai Ye sighed and looked at the last crystallized human. He spread his hands, and the Steel Slime quickly wriggled in Bai Ye's palm, transforming into the forms of Lightning Purple Electric and Flame Emperor Flying Fire.

Clang!

Looking at the crystallized human lunging at him, Bai Ye directly swung his sword and slashed.

A crisp clashing sound rang out.

The moment Bai Ye slashed, the crystallized human raised his arm and blocked Bai Ye's sword.

Those crystals were the weapons of the crystallized humans.

Although the crystals growing around were fragile, the crystals on the crystallized humans were exceptionally sturdy.

Not only was their hardness far superior to metal, but they could also absorb the energy of energy weapons, thus withstanding the barrage of energy weapons.

However...

The Lightning Purple Electric and Flame Emperor Flying Fire in Bai Ye's hands were no ordinary weapons!

The moment the clashing sound occurred, a crack appeared on the crystallized human's body, and then some crystal debris splashed outwards.

Bai Ye grinned, then swept his leg horizontally, kicking the crystallized human in the waist and sending it flying.

But after one kick, Bai Ye glanced at Allen and Davis's direction, they were still fighting...

Bai Ye quickly darted forward. The moment the crystallized human landed, Bai Ye reached its front, and then...

The crystallized human raised its fist...

"Ah!"

Bai Ye let out a scream, and his body flew backward, crashing to the ground.

Crystallized human: "??"

Did I hit him?

Bai Ye got up from the ground, feeling that he deserved an Oscar for how well he performed the "Falling Wild Goose" fall.

Allen and Davis hadn't finished dealing with their respective crystallized humans yet, so Bai Ye felt embarrassed to finish his off first, after all, he had to maintain his persona of being strong, but not *too* strong.

Therefore, Bai Ye felt that it was more appropriate to finish off his crystallized human around the same time as the other two.

So...

Bai Ye started a wrestling match with the crystallized human in front of him.
