The zombie participant pushed aside the defensive shield in front of him, the giant revolver in his hand spinning rapidly. He glanced at Lin Feng, then aimed it at his head: "Where are your teammates?"
Lin Feng immediately gripped the personal space locking item behind him: "He's waiting for you."
"oh?"
The revolver turned and moved slightly away.
If Lin Feng is killed, Hong Linggui will run away. At least until Hong Linggui is under control, he will not kill Lin Feng.
Otherwise, his collaboration with Arakawa would seem superficial and impractical.
At this moment, Lin Feng's gaze met that of the participant, who looked at the surrounded Red Spirit and swept Lin Feng to the feet of the robot behind him.
Click, click... The robot behind the participants took a step, stepping over one stone after another.
Lin Feng twisted his body in pain, head down, eyes darting around.
Immediately afterwards, the agents behind the participants stepped out one by one, and the parasitic flesh that emerged from their arms opened up blade-like palms, cutting marks on the wall.
From the trap left by the Taoist priest, adorable mycelium sprouted and quickly covered the formulas and talismans, hindering the flow of energy within.
"hehe."
The participants grinned and beckoned with their fingers, and two agents grabbed the fallen Lin Feng. Just then, a laser beam suddenly appeared in the distance, piercing through a row of robots and illuminating everyone's faces.
"Kid, you really think you've got me cornered?"
"Drink! Yin and Yang clash to create thunder, and their surging becomes lightning. In the year of Yi-Mao, the wind rises; in the year of Ding-Si, the earth reaches its extreme, and thunder roars!"
A gust of wind blew through the mine, and Lin Feng's hair suddenly stood on end. A bad premonition instantly rose in his heart.
"Just because I don't play with lightning doesn't mean I can't play with lightning!"
Sizzle!
Suddenly, the electrical charge in the air increased, and even the already damp environment was filled with the surge of electricity, which in turn caused the damaged talismans to flash with streaks of electricity, converging towards the center of the cave.
boom!
A terrifying bolt of lightning pierced through the entire mine shaft.
A thunderous roar exploded in Lin Feng's ears, and a fierce electric current pierced his body, emitting a strong, burnt smell.
"Taoist priest...you..."
"Whatever. Since you can't make up your mind, then I'll lend you a hand!"
Hearing the faint shouts coming from inside the cave, Lin Feng couldn't make a sound at all. He could only cough up a piece of fungus and exhale a puff of black smoke.
Looking around, all the robots were glowing red-hot, and wisps of smoke rose from the heads of the elite agents. Only the participant lay prostrate on the ground, his hands plunging into the earth, as if he had escaped death.
"Kid, come on, keep going! I've only used a fraction of my strength!" The static faded, and the Taoist's mocking voice echoed through the mine.
"Heh...that's interesting."
The participant in front of Lin stood up, switched his weapon to a giant rifle, and suddenly transformed into a blur as he rushed forward.
As footsteps echoed again from the upper level of the mine, Lin Feng laboriously rolled his body and crawled in the opposite direction of the mine.
Just as his strength was about to dissipate, he heard the sounds of battle coming from inside the cave. However, he couldn't care less about that now. The sensation of drilling through his body, which had been electrocuted once before, returned. It felt like something strange was growing in his mouth, like countless soft branches touching his oral mucosa.
As he spat out another mouthful of black blood, several wriggling fungal strands emerged from between his teeth, closing his mouth shut on their own.
"Red Actress".
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and the Red Spirit Ghost appeared behind him. A chilling energy frantically drilled into his body, turning into sharp thorns that pierced every part of his body.
Lin Feng ripped the fungus off his mouth and gasped for breath.
If another lightning bolt were to strike... Lin Feng suddenly felt a pang of longing; being half-dead from the shock might actually help him withstand it.
After catching his breath, Lin Feng was dragged by Hong Ling to an overturned mine cart.
As soon as he lay down, thin, long mycelia sprouted from the ground. Lin Feng ignored them, letting the mycelia intertwine with those on his legs.
Gradually, the mycelium tightly wrapped around his legs, drawing energy from his body, but stopped spreading to his brain, imprisoning him like a prison.
Arasaka's goal was to capture him alive, so this participant likely triggered the mission...
Lin Feng recalled the fact that the other party hadn't killed him. If he died, Hong Linggui would leave this place completely, so... that's why he had the courage to face the other party directly.
Bang! Bang! Several heavy gunshots rang out in the distance, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.
An overturned minecart covered his head, and a transparent hand reached for the detonator beside him.
With a loud bang, the rocks overhead collapsed instantly, burying the mine cart in thick mud.
As the surrounding sounds completely quieted down, Lin Feng opened his mouth and swallowed the magic potion that was fed to him, and then a breathing mask was put on him.
Until the surrounding tremors subsided, the entire minecart and he were sealed inside the soil hundreds of layers underground.
But soon, a powerful explosion pierced through the entire underground, accompanied by continuous and violent earthquakes, and the place where he was buried immediately collapsed several meters down.
"That was close..." Lin Feng's heart trembled violently. He tried his best to keep his mind clear and urged the demonic power in his body to flow to the area with the most mycelium.
"Demon Power: 19 (7)"
Basic Demon Power 10, gained 5 points from learning the Demon Curse skill, for a total of 15 points.
After completing the mission for the first time, three of them resided in the heart.
The medicine he just drank gave him an extra 4 points, bringing his total to 19 points. These 4 extra points, plus the 3 points from his heart condition, make a total of 7 points.
Continuing to channel demonic power from his heart, Lin Feng controlled it to reach his neck, replacing the remaining soul energy and suppressing the mycelium that was about to burrow into his brain.
Compared to soul energy, demonic power is extremely aggressive, which is the main reason why the mycelium did not invade the heart.
Now he's just waiting for the demonic power within him, along with the remaining magic potions and magic flowers, to sustain him until the mission ends.
...
"Survival countdown is over."
"Number survived, mission complete."
"Task 1: Survive for 10 days and obtain at least 200 Nightmare Points before the mission ends. (Completed)"
"Task 2: Find the Electronic Ghost. (Completed)"
"Task 3: Clean up Cyber ​​Psychopaths 0/10. (Completed)"
"Task 4: Obtain company identity and eliminate at least one hostile participant. (Completed)"
"Mission Five: Assist the Valentino Gang in capturing the escaped traitor. You will gain the Valentino Gang's everlasting friendship and an NCPD warrant. (Incomplete)"
"Task Six: Gain Pan Tao's trust. (Completed)"
"Task Seven: Miriam Knight's Request. (Completed)"
"Mission complete. Reward: 500 Nightmare Points."
"Bonus mission completed, reward: 100 Nightmare Points"
Nightmare Points: 545 + 500 + 100 = 1145
"Settlement complete, initiating the return process."
The moment it appeared in the personal space, a body covered with fungal flower buds fell out of thin air and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Would you like to spend 300 Nightmare Points to repair your body?"
"This repair only addresses the current physical damage."
"Would you like to spend 30 Nightmare Points to repair the Red Ghost?"
"The Red-Clad Ghost has been restored."
"A faint external force has been detected. Would you like to spend 5 Nightmare Points to remove it?"
"Cleanup complete"
The illusory ghost figure rapidly solidified in the center of the personal space until the pale face reappeared. It hurriedly pounced on Lin Feng, tearing off the filter mask that was fused with mycelium from his neck, revealing the lower half of his mouth that had been squeezed dry.
After taking a deep breath, a continuous stream of soul energy rapidly replenished Lin Feng's body from Hong Linggui's hand, suppressing the mycelium clusters that were eagerly awaiting Lin Feng's return.
As the pressure lessened, Lin Feng, who had been locked in a dark room for several hours, finally escaped the gloom.
"Louis, I need help."
Lin Feng's dry eyes rolled as he opened the information bar with his mind, found Louis's number, transferred 5 Nightmare Points, and sent a personal space invitation.
