380 Wizard

◎She was the one who brought Liu Yu in◎

Zhu Ning should have followed the direction of the contaminated spores to the heart.

But for some reason, the further I walked, the fewer contaminated spores there were. They used to almost reach my chest, but now they can't even reach my calves.

Most of the contaminated spores only float at the height of the shoe surface, like a dried-up stream.

As the blood-red spores became sparse, the light became weaker and they had to turn on high-intensity flashlights for auxiliary lighting.

Pei Shu: "Is this part of the bone marrow necrotic?"

It's like a river, with abundant water in the upper reaches, but the riverbed gradually dries up in the lower reaches, as if the water source cannot flow to this location at all.

Pei Shu squatted down and touched the surface of the skeleton he was standing on. The sticky feeling was gone and it became drier.

They thought the end point of the contaminated spore flow was the heart, so it seemed that the heart must be in very bad condition.

The body of this female giant was gradually dying, which was consistent with what they had always suspected.

Pei Shu collected data again. In fact, data collection was useless at this point. There must have been a more professional team that arrived here that year, and they had already brought enough samples back to the Federation.

The Federation not only has original data, but also professional reports, derivative experiments, and even mature combat plans developed based on the data.

This series is participated by the most professional people, but Pei Shu is still collecting. The difference is that the team that came before was the elite team, and now they can barely be considered a ragtag team. A ragtag team is also qualified to bring back the truth.

Zhu Ning did not stop him, but acquiesced to Pei Shu's little action, and even stopped and waited patiently.

But as they went deeper, the flashlight detector captured more human traces, which were garbage left behind by humans.

The expedition team outside the wall did not have the habit of disposing of garbage with them. After all, saving lives was the most important thing, so they basically polluted wherever they went. There were magazines and injection bottles all over the ground, and there was even an unopened tent and several scattered helmets.

"Injection." Pei Shu flipped through the box. There was no date printed on it. He examined it carefully and commented, "High-end product."

Zhu Ning wanted to ask how high-end it was, but after a quick glance he understood. He had used it once when he visited Lu Yuan at her house.

It was a black technology belonging to the upper class, only possessed by the top elites. It was not circulated on the market and had a faster healing speed. Zhu Ning felt like he was visiting a rich man's house. Once he saw a luxury item, he would remember it for the rest of his life. As for how expensive that thing was, Zhu Ning could never afford to use it afterwards.

This is in line with Mrs. Liu Yulu's identity, and the things she uses for travel are all the best.

Pei Shu was more familiar with it as a lackey. "It's been at least twenty-five or twenty-six years."

The lack of a production date does not mean that it cannot be inferred. This type of packaging has been eliminated, and the current popular pattern is simpler.

Zhu Ning thought about this era. Lu Yuan was the same age as him, and she should not have given birth when Liu Yu came in.

Pei Shu swept the area with his flashlight. The garbage here was particularly eye-catching, with all the colorful bottles and jars. It was definitely not something that one person could leave behind.

But how is it so well preserved? This is like an exhibition hall, there is no dust on the garbage.

Pei Shu soon thought again, this broken place only has contaminated spores, and it is on the bottom of the sea, so where is the dust?

Pei Shu: "It's confirmed there's more than one person. It's truly a team, there must be quite a few people."

When they first came down, they only saw a flying bird. It was a pattern deliberately carved by Liu Yu as a secret code. Because it was obscured by the ocean of contaminated spores, the carved area was larger and it was different from what was in front of them.

The traces of those years remain, which is the most direct evidence that there were humans who had reached the underground of Utopia.

Bai Cheng was further away, shining his flashlight along a long streak and whispering, "There's a bullet mark."

From left to right, the range was very close, and maybe the enemy's position was also close enough. Bai Cheng recreated the scene at that time in his mind.

As she walked and groped, the marks left by her hands became deeper and deeper, about ten centimeters deep. Bai Cheng touched the wound and seemed to be able to sense the past. "There was an explosion."

Assuming Liu Yu had brought a team down, they must have had a conflict with something when they arrived at this location.

Bai Cheng asked: "Enemy?"

There has been no danger so far, but this place cannot be completely free of danger. Either we haven't encountered any danger yet, or it has been purified and the pollutants have long since died.

Bai Cheng said this while looking around quickly. There was no boundary in sight underground. They didn't even know where they were or how long it would take to reach the end. It was as if they were exiled underground.

As soon as they stopped talking, the only sound around them was the sound of the waves.

What dangers might lie in the darkness? Is the creature that ambushed Liu Yu's team still around?

Zhu Ning: "It could also be an internal conflict."

Bai Cheng was silent for a moment. Indeed, conflicts don't just occur between people and pollutants; conflicts are more likely to break out between people and talents.

For example, there may be uneven distribution of spoils, differences in ideas, or it may be simply a passionate killing. When people are angry for a moment, they may do anything.

Suppose Liu Yu's team discovered something extraordinary, and they had serious internal disagreements, to the point where they had to take action?

What was the ending? Who won?

Could it not be Liu Yu? Judging from the way she died, she seemed to be the loser.

It's quite interesting. They inexplicably entered the underground of Utopia and actually followed Liu Yu's old path, trying to restore the truth bit by bit.

Bai Cheng continued searching along the traces of the explosion. Professionals could tell the location of the detonation point based on the traces, but Bai Cheng had a limited memory and was not even a novice.

Part of her memory often disappears, as if there is an automatic program in her brain that deletes old things when you are not paying attention, and you don't know it.

As Bai Cheng was walking, she heard a "puff" sound under her feet. She must have stepped on something foreign. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what expression to make.

The corpse, or to be more precise, body parts, consisted of just a piece of rotten flesh, like the product of an explosion, with a string of sparse flesh hanging from the edge, very bloody.

The reason why she could have the concept of bloodiness was that the meat was very fresh.

People probably don't come often to the lower part of Utopia. The last time someone set foot in the forbidden area was led by Liu Yu, and they are the second team to do so after many years.

The corpse under Bai Cheng's feet looked so fresh that it looked like it had just died, as if it had been "preserved" by some special thing.

She moved her feet expressionlessly, took a half step back, and let her right hand drop.

The person closest to her was Lin Xiaofeng, but he was about seven or eight hundred meters away. The light in this place was weak, and there was almost no pollution spore lighting around. Bai Cheng's lowered hand blocked half of the flashlight, so her back seemed half submerged.

Bai Cheng closed her eyes. She was "communicating" with the corpse. The more complete the corpse was, the better. The more fragmented the corpse was, the more difficult it was to sense, and it required great patience.

She could even piece together the sensed body fragments. For a period of time, Bai Cheng worked as a "mortician" to collect corpses.

Her world is littered with corpses, bones, and pieces of flesh, and they are not scary, they are even a little cute.

Suddenly, Bai Cheng's index finger trembled, and the corpse closest to her also trembled its flesh and blood in response.

Very good, it can be sensed. Bai Cheng expanded the range, and for a moment, the corpses within two meters were shaking. The scene was a bit divine and a bit crazy, so that Zhu Ning and the others could only watch from behind.

It's like watching a bloody show, or to put it more romantically, a symphony of dismembered corpses.

How many people have died? What happened?

Zhu Ning and the other two immediately went on alert. If the person was killed by pollutants, he might not be dead yet.

Bai Cheng felt an elbow, and the bones at the joint moved and made a clicking sound, as if this person had been dead for many years and someone had straightened his bones.

The body parts were gradually being pieced together, pulled by an invisible force. There was more than one body, and Bai Cheng was like a master, picking and choosing among them, and actually knew which part belonged to whom.

More and more corpses gathered towards her, Bai Cheng's movements became faster and faster, but suddenly she stopped.

The master of improvisation suddenly stopped. The action was so abrupt that even Zhu Ning couldn't help but take two steps forward.

Bai Cheng remained in the same position without moving, his hands still in mid-air, like a ballet figure frozen in a music box.

Zhu Ning rushed over and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Cheng's reaction was even greater than Zhu Ning had imagined. His face, as delicate as a puppet, was tense, as if frozen by a layer of ice, making it difficult to move his muscles.

Bai Cheng spun his hand, and Zhu Ning felt a rustling in the pile of corpses in the distance, as if there were some living creatures underneath.

Zhu Ning raised her hand, fearing that a monster would come out, but she heard a "puff" sound, and something was pulled out by Bai Cheng, and in the blink of an eye it fell into Bai Cheng's hand.

Is that... a plastic bag?

At first glance, Zhu Ning saw only a bright red area, as if he went to the vegetable market to buy a pig heart, and the owner brought a red plastic bag to help him put it in, because there seemed to be something wriggling inside.

…

XX years ago.

The appointment for the day after tomorrow is coming soon, and Zhu Yao needs to go out of the wall. This is the craziest thing she has ever done. Until now, she still doesn’t know the full list of her teammates.

As a tour leader, Liu Yu would not take care of every detail, so she left on the same day. The subsequent itinerary was all coordinated by a personal assistant.

At four o'clock the next morning, before dawn, she was taken to Exit F-03 of the north wall. She was thrown onto the high wall like a package, and the helicopter took off with its propeller scraping.

Zhu Yao later heard that she was filling someone else's vacant position because the original researcher suddenly went crazy and couldn't come, so Liu Yu was so anxious.

After she landed, she found that she didn't know anyone. Some people were gathered together wearing protective suits from the North Transfer, and another group of people should be from wealthy families. They all knew each other and were chatting about something.

Liu Yu was not there and would probably show up closer to departure. To be honest, ever since Zhu Yao learned about the so-called childbearing time limit, she didn't even know whether Liu Yu could successfully cheat on her husband.

Zhu Yao didn't like to stand out in the crowd, so she found a chair to sit down. This was a temporary tent, and the assistant following her was not very familiar to her.

Zhu Yao took advantage of this opportunity to observe the people around him. Going out of the wall was very dangerous. He might die from pollutants, or of course, he might die from his teammates.

Liu Yu did not reveal who the other people were, probably for relevant considerations. She has not seen the so-called other core members, nor has she seen the only recognizable Huo Huaiying.

When Zhu Yao asked questions, the assistant would patiently explain that this was someone, a master in a certain field. If he encountered something he was not familiar with, he would look up the information and give Zhu Yao a professional explanation.

Zhu Yao memorized the names one by one in her mind, and when she glanced at a person in the corner, her gaze was immediately drawn away.

It’s not that this woman is so beautiful. After meeting Liu Yu, it’s hard for ordinary people to be amazed.

But her temperament is very special, and her whole body has an indescribable stiffness, as if she is a puppet that has become a spirit. The joints of her limbs are all made of wood, so her movements are not smooth.

When she tilted her head, the movement was wide, even exaggerated, like a doll in a window gently lowering its head.

Her complexion wasn't looking good either, pale and cold. She was definitely not from the same world as the others. She probably didn't belong to any aristocratic family, and she didn't look like she was from the north.

She noticed Zhu Yao's gaze, raised her head, gathered her composure, looked over with her dark eyes, and then slowly revealed a...huge and stiff smile.

It's a bit creepy, like a perverted murderer. Liu Yu personally formed a team and supervised it. Everyone who appeared here had his own reasons.

Zhu Yao didn't greet her. She didn't want to talk to anyone suspicious, so she asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, who is this?"

The assistant looked over, feeling dizzy after waking up so early in the morning. When she looked up, she saw a smiling face. She was a little puzzled that she didn't receive a greeting from Zhu Yao. She didn't put down her raised hand, as if she would not stop until she received it.

The assistant almost forgot the list he had memorized in his head. He bravely greeted her. Seeing that the other party's smile had faded, he swallowed and replied, "Our guide outside the wall is very professional."

After all, there were so many people and so many things to do that the assistant forgot for a moment. He had to deal with so many people in a day. He lowered his head and flipped through his secondary computer. The more he flipped, the faster his fingers moved. He was a little anxious, afraid that people would think he was unprofessional. "What's your name? Wait for me to find it..."

"Oh, Bai Cheng." The assistant finally found a lifeline and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Her name is Bai Cheng, our undead."

…

XX years later, in the unfathomable underground of Utopia, Bai Cheng just lowered his eyes and looked at the plastic bag in his hand.

"My heart." Bai Cheng said mechanically.

Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment. Bai Cheng lifted a corner of the plastic bag. There was more plastic inside, with layers of plastic inside layers. She was just a thing made of plastic.

If someone had studied her body structure, blood, flesh, and bones carefully, they would have seen layers of plastic everywhere.

Zhu Ning had never seen it before. In the past, the situation was always urgent. Bai Cheng's body was a "durable consumable". After use, he would escape immediately and the body would be left where it was.

Zhu Ning had no idea what would happen to the bodies left there. Plastic wouldn't degrade and would most likely remain in its original state, becoming part of the contaminated area.

Bai Cheng died here once.

Bai Cheng held her heart, her face still cold. No one else spoke, so she slowly said, "I've been here."

It was as if some lost memories were awakened during the connection. Bai Cheng established a connection with the dead heart, and memory and reality briefly overlapped. A group of figures appeared in front of her. The team headed by Liu Yu was wearing protective helmets. They came down from Utopia with scars all over. More than half of their team were lost. The incomplete team was passing by them. Bai Cheng looked at one of them, and the memories of the past seemed to be a phantom happening in front of her. There was a person who looked exactly like her.

Bai Cheng has been here before and was a guide back then.

It was she who brought Liu Yu in.
