Xinghe erected a spatial staircase, took Gu Mingyue's hand, and the two walked together toward the Crystal Palace above them.
Zhou Yanli and Yu Shuyun followed closely behind, stepping onto the transparent steps. They tested them with their feet and found that there was indeed a solid step under their feet, so they continued to walk upwards with peace of mind.
Other members of the Hope Base gradually caught up.
Some people remained where they were, waiting for the gates of the Water System Dark Domain to open at 12:10 AM, hoping to take the opportunity to leave.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that many human traitors were hiding within this aquatic dark domain.
Hidden in the purple mutated coconut trees on the island were some masked bald men. The leader, with a fierce look in his eyes, stared at Gu Mingyue and the others' backs, his resentful gaze almost tangible.
This person was none other than Wang Hao, the Holy Father of the early days of the apocalypse.
He used to save anyone he saw who was only half-dead, and even plead for criminals. Now he has become the new leader of the S-Men Demon.
In the apocalypse, they fight each other.
Even while eating raw flesh of his own kind and sending survivors from the apocalypse to Watanabe's lab to suffer inhuman torture, he still didn't consider himself a bad person, just a 'good person' forced by circumstances and lacking any real power.
And all of this is Gu Mingyue's fault. Why did she stop him when he wanted to do good deeds?
Why didn't she intervene when he first devoured half a human? She's so powerful; she could have slaughtered the entire neighborhood of monsters in one night. Why did she have to drag it out for several days?
He ate all the black beetles. At that time, there were humanoid monsters outside the house. In order to save his own life and that of his lover Li Min, he had no choice but to eat those powerless half-humans.
Gu Mingyue stirred up the dark side of his heart, causing him to suffer from the torment of conscience every day he lives to this day.
"Heh, this shameless woman actually dared to go to the Crystal Palace. She has no idea how terrifying the things inside are."
Li Hao sneered as he watched Gu Mingyue and the others disappear.
Then he thought about how Watanabe's laboratory would discard some broken bones after dismantling the S-body. He licked his purplish lips and thought how wonderful it would be if there was a piece of bone in the bone soup he drank in the future that belonged to the city lord of the Bright Moon Base.
Wang Hao licked his lips, then led the bald men, who had also shaved their heads, down the mutated coconut tree and slaughtered them all, who had just escaped from the water prison and were now almost powerless to resist after a fierce battle with the mermaids.
They set up a pot stand on the spot and began cooking.
The aroma of meat wafted far and wide, until it attracted the merman monster from the outer sea of the island. Only then did Wang Hao and the others casually pick up a half-cooked limb and walk away, leaving the large pot of meat soup for the merman monster that had rushed over.
Strangely enough, when the merman monsters saw Wang Hao and the others, they didn't attack. They just bared their teeth and mumbled, "This is our food. You... get out of here."
Wang Hao and the others were not annoyed. They were ruthless and precise towards their own kind. When faced with these humanoid monsters from the Black Domain, they were like lapdogs, bowing their heads and leaving.
...
The people who ascended to the Crystal Palace were unaware of what lay beneath the giant jellyfish palace.
They were awestruck by the sights inside the Crystal Palace.
It's not that the various sparkling crystals in the Crystal Palace are particularly beautiful.
To their astonishment, the palace pillars were actually made of human skeletons.
Layers of human bones formed supporting pillars, and as the group continued to walk in, they saw walls that were transparent, resembling both crystal and jelly.
The ground beneath Gu Mingyue's feet was very elastic, like walking on a jelly with a gelatinous texture.
As the group continued deeper into the area, the soft, humid feeling finally disappeared, and a vast expanse of dreamlike crystal paved the way before them.
The journey was quiet. Gu Mingyue used her mental detection to gradually find some sentient beings. However, when everyone arrived at the room, they were all startled.
It turned out to be a living human head stuck to the doorway. The head was dazed and drooling, saying, "Come in... please swipe your card."
"Strangers...do not enter."
...
He repeated himself incoherently, and behind Yu Shuyun, one of the Hope Base members burst into tears upon hearing his voice.
"This is Lin Bin. He was my friend before the apocalypse, and he entered Hope Base with me."
“Before, I was afraid of going on missions, so he always took me with him. He went missing near the Angel Church about two weeks ago…”
“I came here for him, but I never expected him to turn out like this.”
Yu Shuyun was the commander of this operation. Seeing how sad the team members were, she didn't say anything, but simply took out her pistol and ended the life of the man who kept repeating the same thought and had almost no self-awareness.
After the head fell to the ground, Gu Mingyue took out a card with a magnetic stripe from her body.
She stole the card from someone at Watanabe's laboratory on the ship.
With a scan of the card, the crystal gate immediately opened.
The person who should have been welcoming them, with a liberated smile on their pale lips, slowly closed their eyes.
The group continued walking inside, encountering many nauseating human-shaped figurines along the way.
Hand-held lampstand, R-chair...
Everything here is filled with contempt for humanity.
Everywhere you look, it's clear that humans are nothing more than playthings or ornaments; there is no personality or morality here.
The beautiful crystal palace was filled with horror and despair.
Everyone was so disgusted by everything here that they vomited.
In the entire room, only Gu Mingyue and Xinghe remained calm.
In her previous life, Gu Mingyue had seen and heard everything over the past ten years, so she was used to it.
The Milky Way is completely unaware of human suffering.
Zhou Yanli and Yu Shuyun, constrained by their social status, did not want to show weakness in front of others. Their faces were full of suppressed emotions, and they were so angry that their faces turned black and their stomachs were churning with acid.
Seeing that Gu Mingyue and the other person looked normal, he was extremely impressed.
Gu Mingyue's eyes were filled with indifference, as if she had no feelings at all.
He quickly raised his hand, and a blue flame rose into the air, destroying all the strange figures within sight.
He then looked up at several hidden holes.
With her level six mental strength, her sixth sense had also improved several levels, allowing her to keenly perceive a feeling of being spied on.
Gu Mingyue shouted coldly, "Listen up, people in Watanabe's laboratory! Grab Watanabe Ye now and release the other test subjects, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, when I find you, I'll burn you to ashes."
The researchers hiding in the monitoring room felt a chill run down their spines when they met the cold eyes on the screen. They secretly glanced at Watanabe, who was equally inhumanly cold.
Upon receiving Watanabe's sinister gaze, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of this inhuman beast, for fear of offending this monster and suffering the same fate as those human head lamps.
