Chapter 292 White Stone
She was a woman from the Three Kingdoms, with very obvious ethnic characteristics. She was still wearing the Three Kingdoms Legion uniform. She was lying on her back in this space, with a heartbeat but no breathing, just like General Qiao Xi's condition.
Wei Huan guessed that all the challengers who could not be controlled should have been sent here, and not all the people on Pandit's chariot were sacrificed.
But it cannot be said to be alive.
Anyway, let’s bring it back first.
The facehugger grabbed her clothes with its pincers, but before they touched the facehugger's pincers, they seemed to be melted. There should be a divine surge wrapped around the challenger's body, and the divine surge was unwilling to give up and was still consuming her remaining strength, trying to control her body.
However, the destructive force extremely restrained the power of the divine surge, and at the same time it also weakened the damage of the divine surge too much. Several facehuggers attacked together, and even though their bodies had melted a lot, they still managed to pull the challenger out from under the divine surge.
A facehugger carried the challenger, and bubbles emerged from its body to wrap her up. It swam nimbly, avoiding the floating boxes around it, and successfully rushed out of that space.
As it left that space, it also left the shielded area, which meant that all the drivers saw this scene.
"This is!?"
"A member of the Pandit Chariot! Her face hasn't changed. Is she still alive?"
The train commanders all spoke in shock. They really didn't expect that in an environment where they thought they were doomed, there would be humans surviving.
As Wei Huan's mouthpiece, Mu Zhong naturally spoke up at this time: "Yes, we found an area ahead where there are hundreds of our surviving compatriots.
But don't be too happy. First of all, we are not sure whether this is an enemy conspiracy. In addition, they have been in this environment for several days, and we cannot be sure whether they can be rescued.
Let’s try it first.”
"Okay, Deputy Commander Mu."
"Be careful. I suspect this is an enemy plot. Be sure to stay safe. Don't forget they seem to be parasitic and contagious."
"Isn't parasitism the manipulation of this energy?"
"The reason we haven't been parasitized is because these energies can't get close to us. But if we let her get on the chariot, it will give these energies an opportunity to take advantage. Commander Wei must be careful."
"How could there be anyone alive in such a devil's den?"
Everyone's attention was on this woman. What was certain was that after this woman left Shen Yong's control, she did not age as quickly as the other controlled corpses.
She seemed to be asleep, allowing the facehugger to carry her out of that space, walking in the passage, and heading towards Wei Huan's chariot.
The voice reminding Wei Huan to be careful kept coming. Wei Huan's focus was temporarily unable to see this side. He paid more attention to the "treasure house" and the passage which was obviously narrower.
Wei Huan was very aware that time was limited and he had to finish what he wanted to do before the channel closed, otherwise he would have to wait for the next time.
It’s hard to say whether they can get here so smoothly next time.
Moreover, Iron Heart asked them to come here, but there has been no further hint so far, which means that people and treasure chests are not the focus. He also needs to find something that can change the status quo.
Ignoring those people chattering in his ears, Wei Huan commanded the undead army to continue fighting against the surging divine tentacles, while sending more facehuggers into the space, carefully avoiding the treasure chests, searching for clues and saving people.
Wei Huan locked onto all 93 humans distributed in this space and sent out a sufficient number of facehuggers to pull them out of the divine surge.
Some went smoothly, while others were more difficult. Wei Huan quickly determined that the successful ones could still be saved, as their own energy hadn't dissipated, and they were still fighting against the divine surge, so the divine surge was only slightly consumed. Conversely, the troublesome ones were basically all gone, having been swallowed up by the divine surge. Wei Huan managed to rescue one with great difficulty, but he aged just as rapidly as the other deceased challengers. And not only did he age, he also showed signs of struggle during the process, like a painful last gasp of life, before dissipating into ash.
Wei Huan felt the pain of these people and chose to give up on them without hesitation.
There was no need to weigh the pros and cons, because there was no need to choose. The living were definitely more important. Before the passage narrowed to the point where he had to leave, he only saved those who could be saved. For the others, he could only send them into a deep sleep, an undisturbed sleep in eternal darkness.
The facehugger walked around and found a total of 93 challengers, and most of them could not be rescued. This had nothing to do with the time they had been trapped here, but more to do with personal strength and willpower.
And of course the equipment.
It was not surprising to Wei Huan that General Qiao Xi could be rescued. From the time General Qiao Xi got into trouble to the time they arrived here, it was already the fastest speed. Even ordinary challengers were still alive. General Qiao Xi, who must have better equipment, would only be able to hold on longer.
These equipment helped him resist the damage from the divine surge. When the facehugger pulled him out of the divine surge and sent him into the air bubble, his chest even rose and fell slightly. He was the one with the least damage among them.
There was also another young female challenger whose situation was similar to General Josh's, but she did not have the same equipment as General Josh. She only had ordinary equipment, and even very little gold-level equipment, and was only Sequence Four. However, after being rescued, she was able to breathe on her own very quickly.
Wei Huan's gaze lingered on the young female challenger's face for a long moment, a faint feeling of familiarity. He couldn't recall where he'd seen her before, but if she looked familiar, it meant she'd likely been a talented individual in a past life, perhaps having shone brightly on the battlefield against the Dark Beasts.
Talent will never be overwhelmed. Even though Wei Huan has changed the future too much, as long as she survives this time, she is destined to grow in the future.
Including Wei Huan can also train her.
Facehuggers came from all directions, carrying the rescued people back. Wei Huan looked away, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the woman trembled and opened her eyes as if she had escaped from a nightmare, revealing her blue eyes.
Then, just as she was about to regain consciousness, she gathered the last bit of thunder power in her body and let it flow out from the palms of her numb hands.
“Crack!”
An attack landed on the face hugger's back shell.
The woman used all her strength to strike and fell unconscious again. The facehugger was caught off guard and was shocked by her electric shock. Its body tilted and one of its legs hit the treasure chest that it had been carefully trying to avoid.
The treasure chest flashed white and disappeared.
At the same time, it was displayed in Wei Huan's chariot.

"Oh no!" Mu Zhong shouted when he saw it.
Wei Huan also frowned at the same time. Even though he gave the order immediately, he was unable to control the situation.
A monster with hundreds of tentacles appeared at the place where the treasure chest had disappeared. Its tentacles, covered with suction cups like an octopus, were waving wildly, instantly stirring up the airflow in the space.
At the same time, its long and powerful tentacles danced, either slapping the treasure chest or hitting the face hugger.
It's okay if the treasure chest is hit by the tentacles, it won't be damaged or opened, at most it will be knocked to the side. But if a facehugger is knocked away by a tentacle and hits the treasure chest, it will be a different scene.
“Bang, bang, bang!”

When diamond-level equipment began to pop up on the screen, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's scalps went numb.
The diamond treasure chest was actually opened like this! ?
Oops! What a waste! That's a diamond chest that could open a professional training ground! It's such a waste to let Wei Huan open it when he already has a training ground!
Moreover, the treasure chest monsters that come out of diamond-level treasure chests are not so easy to kill.
What's more, there is not only one diamond treasure chest here, there are countless other treasure chests around, including some platinum or gold treasure chests. After being opened, the corresponding monsters will jump out of them.
In just a moment, the situation became chaotic.
The undead army is attacked by the treasure chest monsters that appear. During the battle, they will inevitably encounter more boxes. The treasure chest monsters that appear in the boxes will continue to attack, and the vicious cycle will get worse and worse.
Wei Huan pursed his lips tightly and gritted his teeth at the monsters that filled the space.
He no longer had time to search for clues. He just sent more undead troops to stop the treasure chest monster and speed up the rescue of those who could be rescued.
As for the young woman who disrupted his plan, she had to be rescued, of course. He probably acted because of his fighting instinct and will to survive, and it was just a subconscious attack. Considering that he had made contributions to mankind in his previous life, Wei Huan didn't think there was any need for him to be angry.
Now that the supplies were in his hands, all that was left was fighting, which was exactly what he was good at.
"Let's go." Wei Huan gave the order without hesitation, and the tank turned around and returned.
No one else dared to ask what had happened, and they hurried to catch up. After driving a mile, they saw from the projection screen that several facehuggers rushed out carrying the challenger, following them all the way.
The camera was still facing the direction they came from, where suddenly a bunch of monsters jumped out, big and small, strange and bizarre.
The huge Xuroma stood in the front, roaring and waving its claws, grabbing the black tentacles, as if pulling an octopus out of the water, lifting it above its head and tearing it hard, breaking the tentacles one by one.
There are even more undead souls going against the flow, standing between the monsters and them like a wall, fighting bravely without fear of life or death.
At this moment, the sense of security is completely maximized.
It turns out that Commander Wei is still the one who can do it. He has to rescue people from such a "hornet's nest". These rescued people must set up a longevity tablet for Commander Wei in their own homes!
But in fact, only those around Wei Huan knew that Wei Huan had not given up.
Although he ordered the chariot to turn around and leave, he did not leave quickly. Firstly, he was waiting for the Facehugger that was transporting the people to return, and secondly, he was unwilling to give up and wanted to find the key item. To this end, he sent all the undead to attack and took the opportunity to send the Lord of the Eye in.
After entering, he could finally see the entire picture of this space.
Then, just near the extreme depths, a white stone was found floating in the air, emitting a faint light.
I didn't notice it before because this white stone was behind the diamond treasure chest. Its warm light was blocked by the overly dazzling light of the diamond treasure chest, so I didn't see it until I came in.
Although I don’t know what this is, all the unusual items here are worthy of attention, and there is also a diamond treasure chest here.
Wei Huan wanted to open the diamond chest, not leave it there for another visit. Who knew what the next time he came? If he left it here, it might never be opened again. Besides, who in the current level six world could open a diamond chest now? Besides him, only Xia Yu had reached Sequence Six, but he wasn't sure he'd pass the assessment. He certainly wouldn't let Mu Zhong risk opening a dancer's training ground. So it was better to open it now. Diamond chests were rare, not nonexistent. He'd come across one again sooner or later.
Wei Huan sent the ghost crows to rush towards the diamond treasure chest and the white stone next to the diamond treasure chest.
Treasure chest monsters refreshed around him and attacked the Demon Eye Lord who came into Wei Huan's sight. He had to fight while retreating.
The ghost crow was very fast, shuttling between the void and reality, heading straight for the diamond treasure chest. At the same time, it exploded like flowers along the way, shooting in all directions, rushing towards all the treasure chests.
This is like opening all the treasure chests at once!
There are at least nearly ten thousand treasure chests here, including six diamond treasure chests, hundreds of platinum treasure chests, and nearly a thousand gold treasure chests, not to mention the largest number of silver treasure chests, which are all dazzling white at a glance.
This is the entire world, including those near the bottom layer, which may include treasure chests buried deep in the underwater ruins. Everything is here.
In the past, Wei Huan had to keep moving forward and plowing the land to search. It might take several months to sift through the entire seabed of this world. But now he doesn’t have to do that. All the resources can be gathered together and sent to him directly.
Unpacking the box is so exciting!
On the tank's screen, all that was left was the system notification of opening the box. At the same time, the supplies in the warehouse were increasing rapidly, especially the energy reserves that had consumed most of the past few days. They were restored in an instant and increased several times.
It's like if you don't open for ten years, you can make enough money to last for ten years after you reopen.
The criminals in the driver's cab were all green with envy. Xu Qingqiang bit his cigarette and cursed, "Fuck, they're rich!"
Yes, among the supplies that were madly swiping up the screen, you would see a platinum-level treasure chest being opened from time to time, and occasionally diamond-level supplies would appear.
Xu Qingqiang's scalp tingled as he watched: "This is going to be awesome! Following you guys is so fucking exciting! How many diamond-level monsters are there? Hurry up and run for your lives, what are you dawdling for?"
Wei Huan also knew that with so many diamond-level monsters appearing, even he would have to be careful when dealing with them.
But there was no way, the supplies went into the car after the treasure chest was opened, but the white stone couldn't be delivered directly into the car! ?
Now he could only find a way to send a two-headed hidden demon to rush over, grab the white stone and take it away.
This is the only stupid way to get the stone back.
Besides, there are still a few people on the way.
The two-headed hidden demon held the stone tightly in his hand, and flexibly shuttled through the gaps between the treasure chest monsters that were crowded together. He came to the edge of the space with difficulty, and with the cooperation of the huge Shuroma Dharma image, he rushed out in one fell swoop.
Just when the white stone was about to leave this space, time seemed to pause strangely for a moment, and then the spirit surged and roared, squeezing towards the two-headed hidden demon.
This is a level six two-headed hidden demon. In previous battles, a two-headed hidden demon of this level could easily shuttle through the divine surge seven or eight times without suffering too much damage.
But now, just by being hit by the surging divine surge, half of the two-headed hidden demon's body disappeared.
Is this because the Divine Surge in "defense mode" has been activated and started to attack actively because important items have been taken away?
This is not good news. Wei Huan currently has no good way to deal with the opponent's "defense mode" surge.
The only way now is to run!
The passage was rapidly becoming narrower, and the tank sped up again.
The facehugger carrying the person was not moving very fast, so the surrounding ground beasts and the two-headed hidden demons that were better at moving received the escort mission at the first time, and either carried or hugged the person, and started running wildly together with the facehugger.
In addition, the two-headed hidden demon, half of whose body was destroyed by the divine surge, successfully threw the stone out of the space completely at the moment before death, and sent it in front of the huge Shuroma Dharma image.
“Crack!”
The vaguely visible destructive force fought against the surging divine power, barely preventing Shuroma from being immediately injured.
The giant Shuroma carefully grasped the stone with one of his huge hands and held it tightly, then turned around and ran away.
The "huge war weapon" with a thousand-meter-long body and tens of thousands of undead souls condensed together seemed calm in such a scene. Even if a diamond-level monster was chasing it relentlessly, it would be unable to do anything to it as long as it was not entangled.
The divine power was shrinking rapidly, as if it wanted to swallow the white jade stone again.
But this passage was originally dug out by the Romans, and they just continued digging when the road ahead was gone.
Moreover, these crazy gods unintentionally helped Wei Huan.
Shen Yong and the treasure chest monsters are not on the same side. He attacks all living things, including these treasure chest monsters.
The low-level treasure chest monsters died quickly under the erosion of the divine surge and were completely left behind. Even if they were controlled by the divine surge and caught up again, it would still take some time.
As for some treasure chest monsters that are strong enough or have special attributes that can restrain the divine surge, while they are locking their hatred on the giant Shuroma Dharma image and chasing it, they are also attacking the divine surge, which can be regarded as helping Wei Huan.
The Shuroma Dharmakaya dug holes all the way, and the treasure chest monster chasing it was responsible for "guarding the rear". For a while, the two sides cooperated quite well, and Shen was so angry that he was powerless and furious.
Wei Huan was speechless after seeing this scene. Who knew that such a situation would happen?
The situation that was supposed to be one against two turned out to be reversed, and it became him and the treasure chest monster working together.
Finally, Xiuluma ran all the way and successfully dug a passage. He finally broke through the last layer of barrier, jumped out of the divine surge, and rushed into the sea.
Wei Huan is waiting for it here.
Along with it is the newly recruited undead army, ready for battle.
With its appearance and rushing into the camp of the undead army, the time has come to destroy it.
Needless to say, in the end he still had to fight one against two.
However, he had made arrangements in advance, and now he was in a position where he could advance or retreat. In this situation, there was no need to even think about destroying him.
When the divine surge and the treasure chest monster attacked at the same time, Wei Huan had already shifted his attention to other places.
First, Mu Zhong told him that the material warehouse had just been updated, and not only had all the upgrade materials for a level 7 tank been collected, but also the upgrade materials for seven level 6 tanks. In addition, they were very lucky and got the upgrade blueprint for the level 8 protective shield.
There are 9 main upgrade parts for the tank and 5 external attack suites. In addition, there are some special terrain drawings, such as heat-insulating umbrellas, wind-breaking covers, aerodynamic tires, etc., as well as some drawings that come with the driver sequence.
But the whole vehicle can only be upgraded after the upgrade of the first 14 components is completed.
In other words, there are a total of 15 blueprints for tank upgrades.
Among these, many upgrade drawings are only for performance enhancement, increasing speed, defense, and making living more comfortable.
However, when it comes to combat, the [hull], [protective cover], [balcony] and [chariot arrow tower] are all extremely important and provide the greatest improvements.
The Wei Huan chariot now has a level 8 balcony and a level 8 external arrow tower, which is enough for attack. However, the hull and shield that increase defense are only level 7.
Of course, level 7 is already beyond the current world level, but given Wei Huan's habit of being foolproof, it is naturally safest to upgrade to level 8.
So when the level 8 shield appeared, Mu Zhong immediately told Wei Huan. Wei Huan was so happy that he didn't even care about the battle and said, "Great, great! I'll level up after this battle."
"Okay." Mu Zhong smiled narrowed his eyes, "Also, Xu Qingqiang has already driven Xia Yu to see the rescued people. I've also sent ten crew members with lightning attributes to follow them. Together they should be safe."
Wei Huan remained noncommittal: "You arrange this." Then he added, "I've got my things back. What does Iron Heart say?"
Mu Zhong had lost his view of the interior, so he realized it now and asked in surprise, "What is it? Is it critical supplies?"
Wei Huan nodded: "It can't be stored directly in the tank warehouse, it's being sent over, here it comes..."
As Wei Huan said this, Mu Zhong saw outside the car, more than ten level 6 two-headed hidden demons, escorted by hundreds of level 6 earth beasts, flying towards them quickly.
Finally they came to the front of the chariot and stopped respectfully. The two-headed hidden demon in the front raised his hands, revealing the white jade stone in his palms.
Without the camera's projection screen, you can look out through the chariot glass with your own eyes and intuitively notice the specialness of the stone.
The undead are all very large. These two-headed hidden demons that have been upgraded to level 6 have a standing height of about 15 meters. From a close distance outside the chariot, they look like a giant.
The white jade stone held in its hand, which was bigger than a car, was actually not small. It was oval in shape, three meters long and about one meter wide. One end was big and the other end was small, just like an egg.
This was handed to Mu Zhong.
