Chapter 699 Burnt to Ashes

These people did not dare to dig too much. They just dug gently along the edges, trying to see if there was anything in their snow.

According to the normal growth habits of plants, they should have grown out before the official harvest. Just because they are not ripe does not mean that they do not exist.

But who knows what the growth habits of this plant are?

Ji He didn't know either.

So she didn't care.

After returning home, Ji He opened the game store, took down the mutant animals he had collected, and handed them over to the space for upgrading.

Due to the shortage of food during this period, many capable and talented people chose to leave the base and go outside to catch mutant animals to eat.

Her stagnant progress was smoothing over time.

After handing in these mutant animals, Ji He still needs 3 more before he can level up again.

I just don’t know what the space will look like after this upgrade?

Her gaze shifted to the small tree in the space. After staring at it for a while, she chose to feed it all the energy stones.

Including the newly acquired A++ energy stone, and the energy stones that Yingying Cat insisted on giving her.

Looking at the small white scaly tree that had grown a little thicker after absorbing the energy stone, Ji He let out a breath.

I hope she won't be disappointed.

The next evening, Ji He and her three bodyguards went out on time.

Throughout the base, whether they had money to buy land or not, as long as they were still able to move, everyone came out.

In addition to selling part of the land, the base will recruit late-stage awakeners to dig the remaining unsold land. They will be given one-tenth of the output and the rest will be handed over to the base.

Of course, it's not forced.

It's all voluntary.

If you don’t want to participate, you can go outside the base to dig. The base doesn’t care and may even encourage it.

After all, how big is the area in the base?

The outside area is vast.

But there are not many people with such courage.

These past few days, day and night, there have always been strange animal noises outside the base, some that sound like tiger roars, some that sound like babies crying, and some that sound like women crying in sorrow.

Everyone had sharp ears and heard it clearly.

Many awakened people felt nervous, but a few skilled and courageous official game players walked out.

The last one came back covered in blood.

Although their lives were not in danger, that scene obviously frightened many late-stage awakeners.

This made these people even more afraid to leave the base.

Ji He actually knew that.

Those were some mutated animals and insects that had survived the extreme cold.

They were extremely hungry and smelled the meat, so they came here to feast on it.

Many people in the middle and high-level positions in the base already knew about it, but the harvest of Bing Taotao was imminent and the base could not spare any extra energy.

We had no choice but to send people to intercept them outside the base and wait until the harvest was completed so that we could free up our hands to deal with it.

Ji He sat on Ying Youshui's body and walked towards B88.

During the extreme drought, most ordinary people were killed or injured, and now those who survived have basically become late-stage awakeners.

Although their abilities vary in strength, all of them can transform into beast form, which greatly improves their survivability.

At this time, except for the official players, other late-stage awakeners have turned into beasts and are running in the snow.

"There's food! There's food!"

"I hope I can dig up more food from this plot of land. My children are counting on this!"

"Where are your children?"

"Hey! It's too small. I let it stay in the dungeon. I'm out here working and can't take care of it."

"The bubbles are coming! The bubbles are coming! Get out of the way!"

A cold wind blew from afar, bringing with it a batch of specialties.

Incredible bubbles.

After entering the base, these bubbles slowly fell and floated towards the crowd little by little.

Wherever they went, people dispersed.

The bubbles are indeed dangerous, but fortunately they are not very fast. As long as you are prepared, you can still avoid them.

The awakened ones had long been accustomed to the sudden appearance of bubbles. They ran without any panic and quickly hid in the surrounding buildings.

"Ahhh, everyone, make way, people are coming to the base!"

The crowd moved quickly. Several base workers who ran out of the underground city, wearing tattered cotton jackets and carrying an evil man on their shoulders, ran straight towards the incredible bubble like brave and fearless warriors.

"Ah, why is this man still alive? He's quite lucky!"

"What's going on, buddy, tell me?"

"I know, I know. This guy caught children in the base and ate them before! I heard that when he caught them, he also found several skeletons. I don't know how many he ate."

Everyone gasped, this was so scary.

Eat people.

This is it!

"That base didn't kill him?!"

"What time is it now? How can there be death penalty? People are supposed to create value while they are alive! All of them were captured by the base to touch bubbles! They are lucky not to die. If they are unlucky... hehehe, then it is hard to say."

The person who spoke had a look of gloating on his face.

Is being alive really a good thing?

Not necessarily.

Not knowing when you will die or why you will die, and living in fear every day, that kind of fear is enough to make you collapse.

This time, he was carried out to be used as a human detector, which was the fourth time since he was arrested.

He had been lucky the previous few times, and even when there were lethal objects present, he still managed to keep his life.

I just wonder how lucky he will be this time?

As everyone was thinking about it, they saw the gifted man grab the man's legs with both hands and swung him in the air, and behind him, three incredible bubbles were blowing in the strong wind.

The moment the man was talked about, an expression of extreme fear appeared on his face, with his mouth tightly entangled by the water plants.

No matter how many times he experienced this kind of experiment, he could never get used to it.

Unfortunately, due to long-term thirst, he couldn't even shed tears. He could only stare with red eyes to greet his unknown future.

“Puff, puff, puff.”

The man was lucky. After the first two bubbles burst, food appeared in one and hemostatic mucus appeared in the other, neither of which caused any harm to him.

Just as the man felt relieved, he felt an intense burning sensation all over his body.

It got hotter and hotter, and he began to struggle and roll madly in the snow.

Help!

Help!

Everyone watched as a pure black flame quickly spread over the man's body, soon enveloping him entirely and turning him into a giant black fireball.

Upon seeing this, the staff at the base quickly poured snow on the man, trying to extinguish the black flames.

Unfortunately it failed.

The flames continued to burn until the man was burned to ashes, and then they finally stopped.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

The fear of the incredible bubbles also deepened.
