Chapter 025 Meeting in Such a Place
"Okay, go ahead."
2891 Seeing that these men looked ferocious and didn't seem to want to make a deal with that pretty boy, he was confused but didn't dare to ask any more questions. He turned around and walked away dragging his basket.
It was not until 2891 left that the remaining four gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
"Old Zhu, go and blow your ass first."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely knock her out with one fart."
"Wait, what if it's not her in there? What if she's not in there? Liuzi, go in and confirm."
"Ah? Brother Wei, why am I the one doing this again?" Liu Zi, who was called out, said with reluctance, "Can't you just change someone else? You all know how smelly Old Zhu's farts are."
"You're the only one among us who didn't faint after smelling his fart."
Hearing this clichéd excuse, Liuzi gritted his teeth in anger. "I'm protesting and not going, but you're just treating me like I fainted."
Lao Zhu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as you can successfully catch this thing and give it to that person today, you can get a crystal core."
Having said that, everyone else doesn't have to smell the fart, only he wants to smell it, and Liuzi looks reluctant.
But there was no other way. In the four-person team, Brother Wei was the boss, Huabian was Brother Wei's younger brother, and Lao Zhu couldn't go in on his own if he wanted to fart. He was the only one left, weak and without any connections, with no say at all. He could only reluctantly walk towards the cave.
The corridor of the cave was narrow and winding, allowing only one person to pass through at a time. Liuzi walked very carefully and it took him two or three minutes to finally reach the cave. When he raised his eyes, he met Jiang He's gaze, who was facing the cave entrance.
Jiang He's hearing was very good. Although those people were far away and were talking in low voices, she could hear everything clearly.
Liuzi had been doing this kind of research for a long time. He feigned surprise and smiled, then asked Jiang He in a clear voice, "Hey, are you the only one here? No one has dared to come to these caves in the past few days. You're really brave."
Jiang He stared at him expressionlessly without responding.
Liuzi had already spread his words. Logically, he only needed to remain silent and wait for the smell of Lao San's fart to dissipate in. He didn't need to answer the people in the cave.
But, but the woman in the cave is beautiful.
She is so handsome. She has had many boyfriends, and they are all good-looking, but none of them is as handsome as her.
The miner's lamp shone on her face, her skin was as white as glowing, her eyes were big, and her lips were bright red.
Before coming, everyone thought she was just a woman.
Liu Zi stared at the woman, thinking blankly, women and men are really different. There are so many men in the training camp who sell their butts, but compared to real women, the difference is worlds apart just by looking at them.
After realizing that he was staring at the other person in a daze, Liuzi touched his nose and asked, "Are you lonely?"
The other party didn't respond, staring at him with a blunt gaze, as if asking: What, you're here to introduce yourself? How can you not look in the mirror before introducing yourself?
The other person's eyes were calm, yet sharp, as if he could see through his thoughts at a glance.
Liuzi felt inexplicably embarrassed, but he couldn't help but want to say a few more words to her.
The thought came to his mind, and a bold idea suddenly came into his mind.
There is only him and her in this cave now.
His companions are allergic to Lao Zhu's stinky farts and will not come in for a while.
If he treated her...
No one will know.
"I have some impression of you. Today you kicked that guy to the ground..."
Liuzi walked towards the woman's position. He made up this sentence based on what 2891 said. He originally just wanted to pretend that he was also a member of the car to get closer to her and lower her guard before making his move.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party.
"It seems that you are here to avenge him." Jiang He stood up and grabbed a piece of Jun in the basket and threw it towards Liuzi.
Liuzi: ???
His ability is immunity to all poisons, and force is not his forte at all.
Moreover, the cave was only illuminated by the two mining lamps above his and the other person's heads, and the area they could illuminate was limited. He didn't even notice that the piece of gold would go straight to his face.
"Oh shit, it hurts." Liuzi covered his forehead with his hands. The blow was so powerful that it made a bloody hole in his forehead.
How could a woman with such great strength? Could she be a strength type?
This is much better than his fighting skills. When someone is under someone else's roof, they should give in. When the smell of Lao Zhu's fart spreads in, she will be unconscious. It won't be too late to do it then.
Liuzi hurriedly explained, "I'm not here to avenge that guy. I don't know him. I stepped on him several times."
He turned around and backed out, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Jiang He had already stood up. She walked leisurely to Liu Zi and said, "Oh, I'm sorry."
Seeing that there was no harm, Liuzi stopped retreating.
Yes, sorry for what? For hurting him?
Liuzi has been in the training camp for so long, but he has never heard anyone say the word "sorry". It sounds so unfamiliar.
You're crazy! Why should you apologize for hitting someone?
The other person's voice was gentle, sounding very harmless and polite. Liuzi couldn't help but think again, if she said sorry to him, would she help him bandage the wound?
If that were the case, he could just hold her in his arms, and everything would be smooth sailing.
Jiang He, "My hands were shaking just now, so I didn't beat you to death. I'm really sorry."
This woman, she, what did she just say?
Liuzi opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The mining lamp shone on her face. Her features were soft, her eyes were calm, and her expression was indifferent.
She didn't look dangerous at all, but the shadow behind her was so dark that it made his hair stand on end, and his sixth sense made him overwhelmed with fear.
No, he had to leave here. He couldn't beat her.
He opened his mouth to yell for help, his body trying to run away.
But the next moment, his neck was pinched.
His feet were lifted off the ground, his eyes were full of fear, and he looked at her humbly and beggingly.
His throat was pinched and he made helpless "ho ho ho" sounds for mercy.
A "click" sound was heard in the cave.
A very light and crisp sound.
Liuzi's eyes were still wide open, but his head was drooping and no sound came out of his mouth.
He never understood why he died until his death.
His death should have been a spectacular fight with humans or a battle with mutants.
How could he die on a woman? And so easily.
Blood was gushing out from the place where Liuzi's forehead was hit, and the blood flowed onto Jiang He's hand. At the same time, the system's voice sounded.
"Congratulations, host. HP +10. You copied the invulnerable cockroach's attributes."
Jiang He: ...Are cockroaches immune to all poisons?
She had seen many weird deformed people, but this was the first time she heard that a deformed person had cockroach genetic attributes. Thinking about how weak this guy was in combat, Jiang He felt that the system was right and this attribute was useless.
Jiang He did not stay in the cave. After twisting Liuzi's neck, she grabbed the back of his neck and walked out of the cave.
A piece of cloth with a small hole in the middle was hung at the narrowest part of the corridor outside the cave.
Old Zhu's butt was sticking out at the small hole, and the white buttocks looked like peach heart paper, very dazzling.
His companion was urging him unhappily, "Hurry up."
Lao Zhu: "Don't rush me. I ate too little today. It would have been better if that guy had told me to prepare in advance last night. He told me after we got to the bottom of the mine. You can't control your farts anytime and anywhere."
"Women are rare, and he doesn't want the news to get out. Come on, hurry up."
"I am sinking my Qi into my Dantian."
His other two companions were speechless. "Liuzi, you are lustful. Don't be fooled by him. Hurry up."
Liuzi is lustful regardless of gender. Of course, this is also a common problem among most deformed people in the training camp.
After genetic distortion, they merged with animal genes, and not only did their abilities become stronger, but their animal desires also took over.
The key is that Liuzi is both lustful and cowardly.
They didn't want to alert the enemy.
"Okay, I..." Lao Zhu didn't finish his words. He was kicked in the butt and stumbled to the ground, his fart also farting loudly.
The rags blocking the corridor were torn off, and everyone saw Jiang He turning on the overhead searchlight again, and Liuzi's body in her hand.
The woman was tall, thin and straight. She stood in the dimly lit corridor with an expression as cold as a ghost that was demanding her life.
Jiang He threw the body on Lao Zhu who was trying to escape.
The other two were already fainted by the fart smell.
Jiang He did not stay in this corridor for too long.
Lao Zhu's fart was like a biological weapon, and the entire corridor was filled with yellow gas.
She ordered Old Zhu, who was trembling with fear but had not yet fainted, to drag the other two people and his own basket out of the corridor.
After walking more than ten meters deeper into the main mine, I entered a fork in the corridor and found a small mine.
Old Zhu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He kept begging for mercy, "Please spare me. I really don't know anything and didn't do anything."
You didn't do anything but you farted!
Just for this fart of yours, why should I keep you? Will you continue to stink people up in the future?
Jiang He didn't say anything. She was holding her breath to avoid being suffocated by the fart smell.
Old Zhu, with his pointed face and monkey cheeks, has animal hair all over his face and his eyes are rolling around. It is obvious that he is not an honest man.
Because of the guy's previous boasting, Jiang He didn't want to talk to him and threw the shovel at him with a cold face.
Old Zhu was very tactful and immediately started digging with a shovel.
After digging the wall for a while with incredible effort, Jun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the woman didn't assault him violently. He then quietly suggested, "Sister, this hole is too deep inside. It could easily attract mutant beasts. Can we try another hole?"
He probably knew Jiang He was an alien, had only been in the mine for two days, and was a newcomer who didn't know the environment at the bottom of the mine. Without waiting for Jiang He to ask, he diligently explained, "The soil on the walls of this cave is very moist, not dry. Even the jin we dug out has a damp feel. We're already in the middle and lower levels of the mine."
Seeing that he was trying to show off his information, Jiang He asked flatteringly, "The lower realm?"
Seeing Jiang He finally showing interest, Old Zhu felt relieved and continued, "The mine is divided into three layers: shallow, middle, and inner. The shallow and middle layers are further divided into upper, middle, and lower. There are almost no mutants in the shallow layer. There are occasionally some in the upper and middle layers, but they are all very low-level mutants. The chance of encountering mutants in the lower layer is higher. Most of the dangerous mutants people encounter are in the middle or lower-middle layers."
Jiang He: "What about the inner layer?"
Old Zhu shook his head. "There are many high-level mutants in the inner layer. Even the low-level mutants dare not go there. That place is a place of death. Of course, there are some organizations that rely on catching mutants in the inner layer to earn points, but they only go to the outer edge of the inner layer and dare not go deep."
The upper and middle layers are divided into upper, middle and lower layers, but the inner layer is only divided into outer and inner layers.
Although the mine is divided into areas by layers, each layer is very general. There are many winding paths in the mine, and even more caves of all sizes, many of which are caves within caves. If you want to know specifically which area you are in, you can look at the soil moisture on the wall and the density of the wall.
The soil in the shallow layer is dry and hard like stone, with not much Jun. If you are lucky, you can dig up a basketful in a day, but if you are unlucky, you can't dig up half a basketful in a day. But in the middle layer, the soil is not so hard and has more Jun.
According to the third brother, they were in the upper middle level before, and are now in the middle level. The middle level is already a dangerous place. Recently, the nail-eating green python has been appearing in the lower middle level. In order to avoid it, the mutant beasts with lower levels than it have all run to the middle level.
This is also the reason why everyone dares not come to the middle level, for fear of encountering those mutated beasts running up from the middle and lower levels.
Jiang He listened quietly to Lao Zhu's words, and when he paused because he felt tired, he asked, "Will the nail-eating green python continue to eat after it's full?"
The third brother shook his head. "That depends on how big it is. If it's really big, no matter how many people there are, it won't be able to feed it. I've only been to the lower middle layer once, and I was lucky enough not to encounter any mutants. But many people I know have gone to the lower middle layer to look for mutant plants, and most of them never made it back."
Although mutants and deformed creatures are called differently, they are the same thing. Mutants and mutant beasts, one is a plant mutation and the other is an animal mutation. This is easy to understand.
Jiang He didn't expect that there would be mutated plants at the bottom of the mine. From Lao Zhu's tone, the mutated plants were as dangerous as the mutated beasts.
"Please don't kill me, okay? I won't tell anyone about you. If you want to know anything about the mine bottom in the future, I can tell you. I've lived here for a long time and know more about it than most people.
Lao Zhu's abnormal abilities are farting and running away. When something happens, he farts and runs away. His companions are killed one after another by the stink of his farts. He himself is still alive and well until now. It has to be said that he has some luck.
Jiang He: "What benefits can you gain by handing me over to him?"
Old Zhu, who had been talking nonstop just now, was speechless. He didn't expect Jiang He to know so much.
Liuzi must have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty and spilled all the beans about what they were going to do.
Old Zhu cursed Liu Zi inwardly for being unreliable, but he didn't dare to hesitate even a little as he quickly answered sincerely, "He gave us three level one mutant plant crystal cores."
There are many low-level mutant plants at the boundary between the lower middle layer and the lower layer. The crystal cores of the mutant plants are easy to form, and the first-level mutant plants will produce crystal cores. Although the mutant plants are also aggressive, it is not a problem for some people whose abilities can restrain these mutant plants.
The crystal cores of mutants can improve abilities. Many mutants risk going to the middle and lower levels to look for mutants, just to dig out the crystal cores and improve their own levels.
After all, in training camp, fists are the rule.
For those who are afraid to take risks but want to improve their abilities, they can only make deals with others.
After Old Zhu finished speaking, seeing that Jiang He hadn't yet asked who the deal was with, he guessed that Liuzi had also told him. He cursed Liuzi a thousand times in his heart. Fortunately, this troublemaker who betrayed his teammates was dead, otherwise he would have twisted his head off himself.
The two people who were unconscious on the ground slowly woke up.
The first one to wake up was the eldest brother Wei Ge, and the other was his younger brother Hua Ban.
Brother Wei had seen a lot, and although he felt a little embarrassed after falling for a woman, he remained calm. He sat up and discussed with Jiang He, "We were wrong about what happened today. We didn't recognize the real man. We can discuss this matter later."
He is tall and has furry cat paws on his hands. I don't know how he usually uses his paws to eat.
While speaking, he also summarized the reasons why he failed today.
He underestimated women and did not do enough preliminary preparation.
This woman was able to remain alive or insane after being locked up in a small dark room for ten days, and remained unharmed after being an alien at the bottom of a mine for two days. She not only has strength but also some skills.
But at first he thought she was just a woman and that the task could be accomplished instantly by just using Lao Zhu's fart.
Seeing Jiang He's eyes fall on his cat paws, Brother Wei smiled and explained, "My distorted attribute is cat-type. You are immune to Lao Zhu's farts. Is your ability related to cockroaches?"
Because Liuzi has the distorted cockroach attribute, they think Jiang He might also have the cockroach attribute.
If this is the case, there is nothing to be afraid of if a war really breaks out.
He smiled as if he was just chatting about family matters, very harmless and gentle, and it seemed that he really wanted to have a good talk with Jiang He, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly pounced on Jiang He.
Cat-type deformed people are all very fast. Jiang He dodged sideways and took two steps back to create distance under his surprised gaze.
Even though the sneak attack failed, Brother Wei was not angry. He smiled and said to Jiang He, "You are quite cautious."
Jiang He didn't respond. She turned her head and glanced at Lao Zhu, "Go on."
The tone was calm, but tolerant of rebuttal.
Old Zhu, who was watching the fun, immediately turned around and waved his shovel to continue chiseling the wall.
Hey, wait?
Why should he continue to chisel at the wall? Brother Wei, who was at the top of his combat power, has been fully revived. He should just sit back and watch the show. Why should he continue to chisel at the wall?
Old Zhu turned around, raised the shovel and was about to throw it at Jiang He's head.
Humph, he has tolerated this woman for a long time.
Then there was a loud "bang".
The woman kicked Brother Wei on the round head, and Brother Wei took several steps back.
Jiang He turned his head and stared at Lao Zhu expressionlessly.
Old Zhu shuddered in fear, "I, I'm just tired and want to stretch my waist."
He quickly turned around and worked hard to chisel the wall, while of course not forgetting to listen to the movements behind him.
The spotted one has the characteristics of a leopard. His head is almost the same as a leopard's head, and his hands and feet are leopard claws. Although he is still in human form, his slightly bent waist shows that his body shape is getting closer to that of a leopard.
He hadn't spoken since waking up. Unlike his eloquent and graceful brother, Huaban was always silent, like an invisible man, with no strong presence at all. Furthermore, his transformation into a beast was so severe that he couldn't even make a normal sound.
But when Brother Wei's woman pounced, Huaban immediately squatted down and locked his eyes on Jiang He.
Jiang He heard the sound of wind whistling behind her ears, and she quickly turned sideways and did a roundhouse kick.
Spotted grabbed the shovel and was about to hit her head with it, but she kicked the shovel away.
Brother Wei also returned at this time and grabbed Jiang He's neck with his cat claws.
The two brothers may have cooperated with each other, and their minds were in perfect harmony. Jiang He managed to avoid their double kill several times, but he was inevitably injured.
Jiang He felt a little angry when he saw his clothes being torn by the cat's claws.
The most expensive thing to do in the mines these days is clothes.
A set of prison uniform was worth as much as her daily wages from digging in the mines.
The mine was a bit narrow, and Jiang He was restricted everywhere because of the two people squeezing him.
Of course, the main reason is that these deformed people can use their deformed abilities in the mine, but her body is restricted by three inhibitors, and her "superpowers" cannot be fully exerted. She can only rely on her body's instincts to attack and defend.
Old Zhu's movements of chiseling the wall became slower and slower. He had completely turned his head and was staring intently at the fight between the three people.
Although the shovel in his hand was knocking on the wall again and again, not much dirt was knocked off, let alone a clod of earth. He just used the sound of knocking on the wall to tell his teammates that he was also very busy and had to deal with the task assigned by the woman, so he could not join the battle.
It's also telling women that he's not lazy, huh.
He thought confidently that if he joined the battle, his companions would be able to reverse the situation and capture the woman in an instant.
Jiang He avoided the sharp tiger claws again. The other man roared at this time, and the markings on his body gradually deepened. The next moment, he turned into a strong and colorful leopard, opening his bloody mouth and biting towards Jiang He's head.
Old Zhu let out a low cry and took two steps back in fear, his back pressed against the wall.
The genetic defects of deformed people are particularly obvious. Their deformities will become more and more obvious over time. After 80% of their bodies have become beasts, their human rationality is basically gone, and their consciousness is completely controlled by animal nature. To put it bluntly, they have become more animalistic.
If you want to delay your transformation into a beast, try not to completely deform into a beast form.
Of course, some deformed people cannot transform into beast form even if they want to. The deformed people who can transform into beast form must be at least level three or above.
Lao Zhu has been in the team the longest. Many people have come and gone in the team, and many have died. He has grown from a newcomer to a veteran, but he never knew that Huaban's deformation ability has reached level three, and he can deform into a leopard form. No wonder Brother Wei was so anxious to take over this order.
Huaban and Wei Ge are brothers. They have a very good relationship and they almost wear the same pair of pants.
Huapi can now transform into a complete leopard form. The human side of him has been surpassed by the animal side. If he doesn't eat the crystal core to increase his distortion power, he will soon turn into a completely inhuman beast leopard.
The process of transformation into a beast is very long, but it is very torturous to watch yourself getting closer and closer to a beast that drinks fur and blood.
When the beast transformation becomes more and more serious, you can try to restrain yourself from changing into beast form, so that you can keep your humanity for a longer time. However, the combat power in beast form is more than twice that of human form. In the face of life and death danger, you can only choose to change.
There is another reason for the appearance of animal form. When on the verge of animal form, the external stimulation is too great and the transformation cannot be controlled by oneself.
Seeing Huaban reveal his beast form, Brother Wei shouted and stared at Jiang He with bloodshot eyes.
Taking advantage of the situation, he jumped up and clawed at Jiang He's neck.
Old Zhu then understood that Huaban was on the verge of losing control just now, and only after being stimulated by Jiang He did he completely transform into a leopard.
After transforming into a beast, Huaban's ability was more than doubled. His speed was even faster. He could use the four walls to jump up and rush down from above to attack Jiang He. His leopard claws scratched on the wall, leaving several deep marks.
Brother Wei and Huaban, one man and one leopard, cooperated perfectly. Every time Jiang He dodged Huaban, Brother Wei would block him in time and make a finishing blow unexpectedly.
After his waist and abdomen were scratched by the leopard's claws again, Jiang He slowly retreated and took off the mining hat on his head.
Old Zhu was a little confused and couldn't understand why she took off her mining hat.
Did she think that without a light above her head, others wouldn't be able to see her?
Animals have very good night vision, and deformed people often mine at the bottom of mines, so their night vision is even stronger. Lao Zhu thinks Jiang He is too ignorant.
But the next moment something strange happened. When Huaban opened his mouth wide and bit Jiang He's neck, his head stopped just inches away from Jiang He, and Jiang He held up his wide-open mouth with both hands, holding up his upper and lower jaws.
The saliva from the sharp teeth dripped onto Jiang He's hand, and the fishy breath from the beast's mouth made Jiang He frown.
She pursed her lips and exerted force, tearing the leopard's head in half and splashing blood all over her face.
Jiang He took advantage of the situation and threw the leopard's body towards the boss.
The system voice sounded: "Health +10, congratulations to the host for copying the leopard's agility attribute."
"Xiaohua!" Brother Wei growled in a sad voice. When he saw Huaban lying on the ground, his eyes were filled with red bloodshot.
Then, he raised his head, staring fiercely at Jiang He, gnashing his teeth as he spoke, "You, are seeking death!"
He took two steps back to keep some distance from Jiang He, then took out the crystal cores from his inner pocket and swallowed them all.
Old Zhu wanted to speak out to remind him, but when he saw Huaban's crazy look after his death, he swallowed the words back silently.
It takes time to absorb the crystal core and slowly transform it. If you eat it directly, especially in large quantities, the side effects will outweigh the benefits.
However, Brother Wei actually accumulated so many crystal cores?
Most people in the training camp do not leave their valuables in the dormitory. They carry them with them and take them wherever they go.
After Wei Ge ate all the crystal cores, his body shape slowly changed, and yellow and white hair appeared on his face and body.
His hands were the first to bend, and his body arched and lay on the ground. Soon, he completely turned into a big yellow and white tabby cat, meowing and pouncing towards Jiang He.
It’s not a tiger? Lao Zhu was surprised. Everyone thought Wei Ge had tiger genes in the cat family, but they didn’t expect that he would be a cat in the cat family.
The tabby cat was very big, with fluffy fur. Its dark green eyes were fixed on Jiang He. Although it was meowing, its attack was even more powerful than that of the spotted cat just now.
As Jiang He dodged, he turned around and asked Lao Zhu, "Can cockroach genes turn you into a cockroach?"
Lao Zhu: Look, your neck has been scratched by the cat’s claws again. Can’t you just fight properly? You’re showing so much disrespect to your opponent. Turn your head and look, the cat’s fur is all standing on end!
He explained helplessly in a low voice, "Transforming into a beast form requires strength. Not everyone can do it. Our brother Wei is very powerful. Even we can't transform into a beast form."
Jiang He's arm was scratched by the cat's claws again, with flesh and bones exposed.
She didn't avoid the pain, but took advantage of the situation and grabbed the cat by the scruff of the neck and lifted it up.
Ignoring the cat's four claws kicking and flailing, she picked up the cat and looked at it.
"If the distorted gene is an ant bee, can it also become an ant bee after reaching a certain level of ability?"
Old Zhu was speechless when asked, "I don't know, I haven't seen it. There are no real ants these days, they are all iron-eating ants."
The tabby cat was big, chubby and round, but Jiang He could carry it with ease in one hand.
Old Zhu felt that she was not taking her opponent seriously.
The opponent is here to be her enemy, not her pet!
The tabby cat was also very angry, its eyes were wide open and it kept meowing.
Only Jiang He didn't realize that there was something wrong with his fighting attitude.
She continued to ask Lao Zhu, "How long does it take to turn back into a human after transforming into a beast? What are people's thoughts after transforming into a beast?"
This question is a bit complicated. After all, bestiality can be divided into active and passive. Some deformed people can never change back to human form after being transformed into animals, and they may not even have any human consciousness anymore.
"Before I came to Planet A62, I had a neighbor who was also a deformed person like me. He was so severely transformed into a beast that a scanner would sound an alarm whenever it saw him. He lived with his mother and son. To protect him from the police, his mother locked him up at home. It wasn't until he bit someone in the street in his beast form that he was arrested. When the police went to his house, they found that he had mauled his mother and child to death, leaving only their internal organs."
Old Zhu said helplessly, "Although I am also a deformed person, I have to admit that after being completely transformed into a beast, a deformed person can no longer have any human consciousness. They are no different from wild beasts, and are even more aggressive than wild beasts."
Jiang He: "Can you turn back into a human after transforming into a beast?"
Lao Zhu: ...The questions asked by the other party are a bit stupid. Even a three-year-old child knows this common sense.
But since the other party had asked, and he was in a stronger position, although Lao Zhu complained in his heart, he answered with an extremely serious attitude, "If the degree of distortion does not reach 85%, you can switch back to human form freely after the beast transformation. If the distortion degree exceeds 85%, it will be difficult to switch back to human form. Even if you switch back, it will be unstable and you may revert to beast form at any time."
Jiang He remembered that the definition of a robot was also 85%.
If the body's mechanical parts exceed 85%, it is no longer considered a robot, but a robot. It is no longer human and will be implanted with machine program security protocols.
The tabby cat in his hand kicked hard with both legs, and one of its front paws suddenly grew three times larger like a steamed bun, with its nails reaching half a foot long.
"Meow..." It screamed and slashed towards Jiang He's neck.
The sharp nails are as sharp as knives, flashing coldly under the light of the mining lamp.
If you get scratched, the head on your neck might fall off.
Jiang He threw it out.
When the calico cat was smashed against the wall, it kicked its legs and used the force to pounce towards Jiang He again.
He was showing his fangs and claws, full of murderous intent.
But the next moment, it seemed to lose power and fell to the ground in mid-air.
The tabby cat was struggling violently, bleeding from all seven orifices, and its body was changing "bang bang bang", sometimes it was a cat's leg and sometimes it was a human leg.
Sometimes it's a human head, sometimes it's a cat head...
After many changes, the tabby cat's form finally returned to human form.
Brother Wei stared at Jiang He with his bloody eyes, but he was already dead.
The scene was a bit scary. Jiang He walked over and rubbed the bloodstains under his eyelids with his fingers.
The other person's blood was on her fingers, but the system did not make any announcement.
Well, it seems he is not dead yet?
Jiang He looked at Brother Wei, who was clearly dead, with a little surprise.
His body is obviously dead, but his spirit is still alive. I guess his brain circuit is a bit long.
Lao Zhu next to him: ...
I'm already dead, why are you gently caressing my face with your fingers?
This scene is terrifying yet strangely affectionate.
What's wrong with this woman? Did she fall in love with him after just one fight?
Brother Wei is so miserable!
Old Zhu swung the shovel in his hand more vigorously, trying to dig Jun, and continued to educate the woman, "He relied on devouring crystal cores to forcibly increase his strength and transform. He shouldn't have died, but Hua Ban was his biological brother, and he cared about him very much. I guess he was too angry to clear the crystal core energy in time, which led to his body exploding and dying."
So don’t gaze affectionately at a brother who killed someone else’s younger brother. The two brothers will not be at peace even after their death.
As Brother Wei's brain died, Jiang He also heard the mechanical sound of the system.
"HP +100. Congratulations to the host for copying the cat-like ability of jumping and fluffing fur. It's not very useful, but it can be used to be cute in a critical moment."
Jiang He withdrew her fingers and stood up. Just then, Lao Zhu finished speaking. She turned her head and looked at him.
Old Zhu shrank his head, thinking that Jiang He was going to silence him as well.
Jiang He glanced at Jun in his basket.
The look of disdain was self-evident. Old Zhu was so frightened that he swung his shovel faster. "I'll continue. I'll dig very quickly."
Jiang He ignored him. She sat in a clean corner nearby and wiped the blood off her face with her hands.
So far, none of the abilities the system mentioned have been used.
She consoled herself that it might be because of the suppressor.
Fighting is not only tiring, but also makes you hungry. Jiang He lowered his head and squinted his eyes, intending to rest for a while.
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time and that her body was covered with wounds and blood, Old Zhu suspected that she was dead too.
After observing several times, he picked up the basket quietly and was about to leave when a small stone hit the back of his head.
The woman's voice was cold and cold as she warned him, "Next time I'll open windows on your head front and back."
"I just changed my position. There was no Jun there just now."
This woman was so cunning that she pretended to be dead to test him. Old Zhu was not convinced in his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything else.
Jiang He was dazed and heard a faint cry.
"Mom, mom, I'm hungry..."
"Mom, I'm hungry."
It sounded like a mosquito next to her ear.
As thin as a needle tip and as light as a gossamer.
Jiang He opened his eyes with a start.
Still in the mine, Lao Zhu was carrying a basket and trying to sneak away.
Jiang He grabbed a stone and hit the other person on the knee.
Old Zhu came back screaming and crawling to continue chiseling the wall, begging for help.
Jiang He stood up and subconsciously touched his stomach. He felt hungry.
The fight consumed too much energy and she was very hungry, her chest sticking to her back.
Glancing around, she picked up her mining hat and put it on, then bent down to search through the clothes that Huabian and Wei Ge had taken off after they transformed into beasts.
There was nothing in Brother Wei's pocket except two compressed biscuits. Before he transformed into a beast, he swallowed all the crystal cores he had saved for a long time.
There was actually a crystal core, two compressed biscuits and three pieces of dried meat in Huaban's pocket.
The vending machines in the cafeteria hall sell compressed biscuits and dried meat, but they are very expensive and most people don’t buy them.
Old Zhu was drooling as he watched from the side. "Second-level crystal cores are really rare, and they're from mutant beasts. For those of us with animal-derived genetic mutations, mutant beast cores are better than mutant plant cores."
He was indignant. "It must be that person's advance payment. Brother Wei actually lied to us and said that these were all crystal cores from first-level mutant plants."
Jiang He didn't say anything. She took a look at the secondary crystal core. The crystal core was shining brightly with a blue light, a bit like an oval diamond.
When she saw the crystal core, a thought subconsciously popped up in her mind: Level 2 nail-eating green python crystal core.
Then he was surprised. This turned out to be the crystal core of a second-level nail-eating green python?
As she unwrapped the biscuits and dried meat and chewed them slowly, she took the crystal core of the second-level nail-eating green python in the palm of her hand and examined it carefully.
After eating all the biscuits and dried meat and still unable to suppress her hunger, she decisively threw the crystal core of the second-level nail-eating green python into her mouth.
Lao Zhu next to him: ...Good fellow, who dares to throw a crystal core above level 2 directly into his mouth? You’re asking for death!
Then he felt overjoyed again, hoping that she would die immediately.
This way, he could not only run away, but also take away everything on her before running away.
But after waiting for a while, the woman didn't look like she was going to explode and die. Lao Zhu suppressed his disappointment and asked Jiang He, "I'm also very hungry. Can you give me a cookie?"
Jiang He: "Give me yours."
Lao Zhu:? ?
Are you still a human being? How can you say such a cruel thing?
The other party was not joking, his voice was calm and firm.
Old Zhu, with tears in his eyes, took out the biscuits from his pocket and handed them to her.
Jiang He was about to reach out to take it, but when he thought of his stinky fart, he withdrew his hand in disgust, "No."
Lao Zhu: ...
After eating the crystal core, my hunger felt much better, and my cold and stiff limbs finally warmed up.
Compared with the crystal cores, the "food intake" of biscuits and dried meat was negligible.
Jiang He then realized that the reason she still felt hungry after eating so much in the cafeteria last night was because what she needed was not normal food, but crystal cores.
After devouring the female iron-eating ant, the body began to mutate.
She wasn't sure whether this change was good or bad.
But it’s not a good thing right now.
After all, food can be exchanged for points, but crystal cores are not so easy to obtain.
After eating, Jiang He felt sleepy again and fell asleep on the spot as usual.
Old Zhu didn't dare to sneak away again this time, at most he would be lazy occasionally.
By the afternoon, all the wounds on Jiang He's body had healed, and Lao Zhu had also diligently dug a basket of Jun.
This basket was his "present" to Jiang He. If he wanted to get the points today, he had to dig another basket for himself.
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the team of four. Lao Zhu cherished this opportunity to stay alive and was very grateful to Jiang He for showing mercy to his men. He tried his best to please her.
"Most people wouldn't use their points to buy snacks, but for those of us doing missions, we sometimes spend days in the mines before leaving, so we need to bring some food with us. Actually, I personally don't recommend staying in the mines at night."
"Why?" Jiang He would always cheer him up when he was talking too much and his mouth was dry, making him more passionate to continue.
"Aberrations appear more frequently at night, and many mines collapse at night. You know the cleaners in the training camp. They clean up corpses everywhere, but they never go down into the mines. In fact, more corpses appear at the bottom of the mines every day."
As he said this, he glanced at the bodies of his two teammates next to him, with a sad look on his face.
"Once tonight is over, their bodies will be eaten cleanly by the mutants or Jun, leaving no trace of blood or flesh."
Jiang He knew that mutants eat humans, but the fact that Jun could "eat" humans made her heart skip a beat, and she remembered the Jun stone that turned into powder yesterday.
"These Juns appear to be dead now, but at night, they become active and silently devour any food that comes close to them, including aberrations."
Jiang He: "Is it very dangerous to stay here at night?"
Old Zhu was still terrified, "It's dangerous everywhere here at night."
Jiang He nodded and looked at him with interest.
Old Zhu was exhausted from talking, but since the other party was so interested, he continued, "Mutations appear more frequently at night. If you're skilled, you'll have a higher chance of catching one at night."
Jiang He: "It's so dark in the mine, there's no difference between day and night. Why can Jun and the mutants show such a big difference between day and night?"
"After 8 p.m., the temperature in the mine will drop, and after midnight, it will drop below zero. That's when Jun and the mutants are most active. They should be distinguishing between day and night based on the temperature fluctuations."
In Jun and the mutants' understanding, their day and night are measured by temperature.
Jiang He asked him again, "Besides killing people, what else do you do when you take orders? Is the income high?"
Lao Zhu said sheepishly, "Most of the time we don't kill people. We don't mean to kill you. Really, if the other party asks to be alive, we can't kill you."
Jiang He remained silent.
Lao Zhu had no choice but to continue, "Most of the time there are not many orders, and our team is not that strong..."
Jiang He nodded, "That's right."
This is too hurtful.
Lao Zhu was just being modest. Their team is very powerful, okay?
I'm just unlucky today.
The wall suddenly began to vibrate with a "buzzing" sound.
The sound was not loud, but Lao Zhu was close to the wall and could clearly feel the vibration.
He jumped up in an instant, grabbed the basket on the ground and rushed out of the cave.
The speed was too fast, and the long fluffy tail kept spinning like a fan to provide him with the power to escape.
He was dragging the basket that was not full of jun.
He probably thought that a full basket of Jun would slow down his escape.
This guy is very good at choosing when to escape.
He jumped out of the cave, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I said we were too close to the lower middle level..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized what was happening and turned around to look. There was no one behind him, no one was following him.
The cave had collapsed, and countless gravel and dust were splashed out of the cave entrance.
He was stunned for a moment, and the confusion on his face was replaced by joy.
Now that the woman was dead, he no longer had to worry about her wiping out his team.
Feeling relaxed, Old Zhu dragged his basket towards the tunnel entrance, intending to find a shallow hole to dig.
But he had not walked happily for long when he looked up and saw the man standing in the corridor ahead, and his face suddenly changed.
Jiang He's reaction was actually faster than Lao Zhu's. Before the wall shook, her heartbeat suddenly sped up, and she could even hear the sound of blood rushing.
The body is as excited as a hungry beast encountering delicious prey.
But her breathing was slowing down, her aura was restrained, and she was slowly blending with the surrounding environment.
Lying dormant! She was lying in wait for her prey to take the bait.
It’s so strange. My body still belongs to me, but it feels like it’s controlled by another me.
She was clearly aware of every subtle change in her body, but she didn't understand whether these changes were controlled by her or another self.
The moment the cave collapsed, a giant green python head rushed down from the top of the cave, and its open mouth was even bigger than Jiang He's.
In the bloody mouth, the teeth dripping with venom are like two terrifying white swords.
This is... a level 5 nail-eating green python!
