As he spoke, the bearded man got up from the ground, using both hands to brace himself as he stood, appearing to struggle.

However, he no longer spoke; the awkwardness and unease he had just felt were gone.

Although there was still a hint of pleading in his voice, I could sense that this guy didn't seem to have that feeling of life and death.

"To be honest, I don't want to be like this either, but this is the real me."

My heart was implanted later in life...

He is an energy reservoir...

I only take this out whenever I'm low on energy, but it always comes out with some of this disgusting green stuff..."

As he spoke, I looked down, and indeed, this thing was quite disgusting.

It looked like some green algae crawling around there.

I looked closely at the green energy above, and it's basically the same as what we saw at the cleaner's place before.

In addition, his driver had previously told us that he didn't need the green pipelines replenished...

But now he presents himself in this very scene...

I simply cannot believe that he had never used any of these green substances.

Without asking, I could guess that he had indeed used it before, but he had forcibly gotten rid of it now, just like he said, he pulled out the cord.

Since he removed that thing, it proves that he doesn't need it. However, there are still some of those things inside his body, plus he said that he never had a heart to begin with.

This heart is probably used whenever he runs out of energy, and now the energy source should be used in this scenario.

Not only that, but his statement that he didn't have a heart shocked me even more.

How can a normal person not have a heart...?

In that case, he wouldn't even be able to perform the most basic life functions...

I briefly discussed this matter with the girl, and she told me that anything could happen in this shallow layer.

But when I think about it, I still can't accept it. The heart is the most important part of a person's body!

Lei Jijian was also quite puzzled; he had already begun to rebel in his heart.

"Alright, Old Liu has done his job well... It's only 200 yuan..."

After I said that, the driver remained very calm, as if he hadn't heard us at all.

"As long as you promise me you won't pour your heart out here anymore, and you put this thing back right now..."

We'll go with you..."

After I finished speaking, I looked at the bottom of the car, and indeed its blue light was brighter than before.

I still want to give it a try.

After all, if we were to go straight down, our wristbands would be almost fully charged. However, these wristbands can only serve as an aid for running and swimming in the sea.

In other words, it mainly relies on our energy and physical strength. When we arrive at the Blue Armor's gate, if the Blue Armor is really hostile towards us, we will only be in a state of extreme fatigue.

If we were to fight against Blue Armor at that time, I think we would be at a complete disadvantage, or rather, not just at a disadvantage, but we would basically have no chance of gaining the upper hand.

Thinking about this makes me even more at a loss.

Let's go up then. If we don't go now, I might really be doomed.

Although this car is slow, judging from the blue light it's using now, I think it's actually quite high-speed, or even faster than before.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be emitting bursts of blue light like it is now.

"I promise you, I promise you... I won't do it again..."

You find Blue Armor and turn this shallow layer upside down!

I then followed along and drove a taxi..."

After he finished speaking, he showed a single, genuine smile.

Then I saw that his mouth was full of that red and green liquid from before.

It looked extremely disgusting.

I really couldn't believe it—this guy actually ripped out his heart for us and then licked it off on the ground like a dog.

And what she just said...

Find that blue armor, and then completely overhaul this shallow layer.

What does this mean?

Is this guy saying that our trip has a decisive impact on the entire shallow layer?

Blue Armor is just an unknown nobody in the lower ranks, so how could his decision have such an impact on them?

This is something I absolutely cannot believe...

I glanced at Yiyi next to me, and she seemed a little puzzled as well.

All we want to do is trade with Blue Armor to revive our Dewdrop Branches.

However, I think the driver overheard our conversation in the car. In other words, even if he didn't say it, he was absolutely certain that we had the targeted dew-covered branches on us.

Moreover, this is something that only discerning people would know about.

Anyone who sees the Dew-Gathering Branch thinks it is incredibly precious and useful.

This is why they all try to seize this thing like it's gold, and even the sea marrow that heals the Dewdrop Branch is sought after by so many people.

It wasn't just about being idolized; it even led to the deaths of Lao He and Xiao Zhang, one after another.

Thinking about this, I feel that this trip to Blue Armor is extremely important.

It was at this moment that the driver finally managed to regain his balance and began to recover.

This time, he reached down with one hand, as if drawing something out, and the blood below gathered towards his hand little by little, like water jumping up.

The driver's arm was immediately stained with the red and green liquid, and at some point, a bloody, mangled piece of flesh appeared on his hand.

This is his heart!

Holy crap, I watched this scene, and his chest was still completely empty, there was nothing there.

He didn't say anything, but simply raised his hand, picked up the large piece of meat, and then, without any obstruction, stuffed it back into his chest cavity with a soft "plop."

I nodded to him again, indicating that we wouldn't go back on our word.

As if encouraged, he raised his other hand and wiped it again.

Within seconds, his chest had returned to normal.
