Chapter 39 Unexpected Visitors

Kicking the minced meat under his feet and analyzing the biological components in it, Luther put away the instrument after a while and stood up.

"It's a mutant human, but it shouldn't be a federal resident. It may be a clone created by the other party, specially used for experiments."

"The federal residents in Arpeggio City are all under the sight of the T2 AI 'April'. If the number of missing people increases abnormally in a short period of time, the AI ​​will notify the federal government."

"The milk factory is really convenient. Not only are there underground livestock cows, but also supporting slaughtering, processing, and handling equipment. It would be much more convenient to hide a small artificial human training facility in it."

"Clones have no intelligence. Even if they die, they can be processed into feed for cattle, and then the feces can be put into the combustion furnace as fuel for reuse. In the end, they all turn into ash, so naturally no one will find them."

"The quality of evil people nowadays is getting lower and lower, which really gives people a bad feeling." Luther sighed.

"Hey, brother Luther, you are so young and you are full of emotion. I have experienced more bizarre and inferior things than this." Pascal put down the black and red box in his hand, and began to take out the parts to assemble.

"Forget it, I still won't listen, for fear of affecting my mood when performing the mission." Luther shook his head.

"Besides, there are so many such things in the history of the Fifth Era. The villains now are white lotuses compared to those times."

"That was really a dark and bottomless era. No wonder the whole civilization collapsed in the end."

The three chatted to relieve their highly nervous spirits, and then equipped various weapons and equipment before continuing to explore.

Yang Che not only turned on the night vision mode for the goggles, but also put on a special tactical headset to be alert to the situation on the road at any time. Luther held the eight-mountain disk scanner in one hand and took out a black pistol with a red line-like aiming laser in the other hand, while Pascal inserted a special ceramic insert into the bulletproof lining, and then raised the rotating machine gun like a metal storm.

Among the three, Yang Che has the strongest comprehensive response ability, Luther is good at searching, cracking, and finding traces, and Pascal is a heavy firepower player.

"Reinforcements will arrive in 30 minutes, let's hurry up and explore the way."

"Understood."

The three walked towards the dark cave.

On the other side, Heshia returned home. After taking a shower, she returned to the bedroom in pajamas and sat on the bed to look through the music scores she received during the day.

The personal terminal was placed in front of the bed, and then a virtual keyboard was projected in the air. After the music score was input, the beats and notes in the music passed one by one, and the girl placed her fingers on the keyboard, like playing a piano, familiar with the tones.

Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was 9 o'clock in the evening. At this time, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

Not long after, Grandma He came to the outside of Heshia's bedroom to ask.

"A young man from the neighborhood came to see you and said he had something to do."

"Who?" Heshia put away her things and walked out of the bedroom.

She followed Grandma He downstairs, came to the door, and saw the familiar face.

"Qiao Long?"

Today, the black-haired young man was wearing a leather jacket and trousers. His eyes looked haggard and he seemed to be in a bad state.

"Miss Heshia." He bowed his head respectfully before speaking.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but this time I need your help."

"What is it? I've said it before, right?" Heshia frowned. She said she didn't want to see this guy again.

"I know, but this is really a very important matter and it won't cause any trouble to your life." There was some anxiety in his words.

"Heshia." Seeing the other person's appearance, Grandma He couldn't help but ask the girl.

Taking a deep breath, Heshia opened her eyes and said, "Let's talk outside." She asked Grandma He to stay in the room.

The two walked to an open space at the corner of the corridor and stood still.

"What's the matter?" The girl looked at the figure who was much taller than her, wondering what kind of trouble made this kind of person come again.

"It's one of my companions. You should have seen him before. He's the fat and tall one."

"What happened to him?"

"He was attacked underground. His condition is very serious. He can't hold on any longer."

"Didn't he go to the hospital?" Heshia's voice softened a little.

"It's useless. I know the current medical level of Arpeggio City. They can't handle such serious injuries. Besides, the ambulance can't reach that place."

"Oh?"

"It's in a cave on the 72nd floor underground. It's an area not marked on the federal map."

"Can't move?" the girl asked curiously.

"Because the special means used to freeze it temporarily, once it moves, the injury will worsen and it may die on the spot." Qiao Long shook his head and punched the wall with a bang.

"That's a gray area, right? Do you want me to go to that dangerous place?" Although Heshia was only sixteen years old, she still had the necessary vigilance.

"I'll clear the way and protect you. It's absolutely safe on the road." Qiao Long bent down suddenly, his body almost 90 degrees.

"You should know what you did before you say that." Heshia shook her head. She had her bones crushed by this guy that day. She still remembers the pain. If she had never killed anyone before, she couldn't bear to do it, and she didn't want to cause trouble in her future life, Qiao Long would have been a corpse long ago.

"I'm very sorry for offending Miss Heshia that day, but I still need your help this time." His voice became more and more urgent. Finally, he took out the special secret lock box from his waist and handed it to Heshia.

"This is what I prepared for my future advancement. You can give it to Miss Heshia for safekeeping as a guarantee."

"This is..." The girl took the long black box and gently pressed the button on the side. The box opened, revealing the liquid that flashed bright red.

Gently shaking, the liquid inside rippled with broken scales, and there was a feeling of heat, and even the sound of dragon roars could be heard faintly.

'Dragon Blood Elixir (Red Scaled Spinosaurus)' [Excellent Brilliant Gold]: This precious dragon blood potion allows the Dragon Sequence's extraordinary people to obtain the bloodline ability of the 'Red Scaled Spinosaurus' when they are promoted, and obtain the dragon transformation ability after Sequence 6. (Because the Red Scaled Spinosaurus itself is not strong, the evaluation is reduced to Excellent Brilliant Gold)

Carefully feeling the magic rhythm in the bright red liquid, Heshia slowly opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Long with a little surprise.

This potion is real and the price is extremely expensive. The price of 2.6 million federal coins on the official website is also out of stock. If you get it by special means, it will be even higher.

"How much did you spend on this potion?"

"I found an intermediary on the black market, transported it to Arpeggio City through special channels, and finally bought it. It cost about 4 million federal coins. For this, I still owe about 800,000 federal coins."

"Is that so." Heshia carefully sensed the other party's expression and emotions, and finally confirmed that Qiao Long was not lying.

There aren't many people in the Federation who can lie in front of a singer with the talent of soul synchronization, let alone in front of a girl with color-level potential.

With a sigh, Heshia put down her arms, knowing that Qiao Long was indeed in trouble this time.

Should she save her or ignore her? Anyway, Qiao Long didn't dare to do anything to her at the moment, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

A minute later, the girl turned around with the potion and walked towards the house in slippers.

"I'm going to change my clothes." I can't go out in my pajamas.

"Yes." Hearing this, Qiao Long replied gratefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the room and explaining to Grandma He, Heshia returned to the bedroom, put the potion into the gap in the space, and then changed into a set of clothes that were convenient for travel. Before leaving, she also took a black coat and put it on.

"Let's go."

After getting ready, Heshia appeared in front of Qiao Long again. This time she was wearing sneakers and socks, with a hood on her coat and a mask on her face. Only a few soft black hair and blue eyes were visible from the hat.

"Yes!"
