Chapter 031: Burning in Lava
Yao Leng's ice spikes failed to hit the iron-eating ant. This guy's body stuck to the top of the cave wall like flowing water, and when he crawled, he flowed as fast as the water, avoiding Yao Leng's three consecutive attacks in a blink of an eye.
The speed of iron-eating ants is very fast, and this guy who stood out from the crowd of iron-eating ants became even faster after being promoted.
Qiu Fei's punch in the air had no effect on it, like a stone sinking into a sea of mud. Instead, his fist felt like it had hit a rock and caused a dull pain.
He suspected that the iron-eating ant had dodged his telekinetic punch.
But how can the opponent dodge it? You know, the biggest advantage of the air punch is that it hits the target silently.
The brown bear's fist mutated into a huge bear claw, and it suddenly leaped up and smashed in the direction of the iron-eating ants.
His attack speed was like thunder, fast and fierce.
But, it failed.
At this moment, everyone had a very clear understanding of the advanced iron-eating ants.
It's very strong!
"Its realm has stabilized, it's at the peak of level five." The colorful crane's feathers were like flying arrows, each one aimed at the iron-eating ants on the top of the cave, but each time they were dodged when they got close to the opponent.
He continued his attack, speaking rapidly, "Its body can flow like water, shielding it from all harm. Its mouthparts can eject triangular iron spikes. These are living creatures. Its weakest point is its tail. Never attack its belly, or the spikes will fly out."
This "ability to see through distorted objects" was extremely energy-consuming. When Rainbow's eyes stared at the iron-eating ants, they became a bright yellow vertical line that kept trembling. He had barely finished speaking when he fell to the ground as if exhausted.
Jiang He, the most idle person in the room, reached out, grabbed one of his ears and pulled him up in time, saving him from falling to the ground.
In fact, she wanted to lift her hair, but everyone had a bald head, and only her ears were convenient to lift.
The excruciating pain in her ear woke Caihe up from the moment she was about to faint.
His eyes turned gray when he opened them because he had been using his abilities too much.
Tears flowed out like they were free.
He vaguely saw the woman with a ferocious face like a demon, standing very close to him.
Jiang He: ...
Her other hand was occupied by the little pink tentacles and was still chewing in her sleeve, so she had no time to support Caihe's head.
Jiang He never expected that pulling Cai He's ear would make her cry in pain. Jiang He quickly let go of her hand, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Caizuru: ...
This damn woman, if apologies were useful, how could she still enter a place like a training camp.
And her apology was so perfunctory and hypocritical. She was clearly teasing him.
When Caihe's body was about to hit the ground, Jiang He raised his foot to support the back of his neck.
As long as it doesn't fall to the ground, there's no need to worry about your head getting hurt.
Cai He sat up with a cold face and said to the woman reluctantly: "Thank you."
Her tone was perfunctory and hypocritical, but the woman found it very useful. "You're welcome."
Caizuru: ...Do you think I'm really thanking you?
He wiped the tears from his face again as he spoke. The woman's eyes were fixed on his face, which was too red and pale.
Inexplicably, he remembered that when they first met, the woman said to him, "You look so beautiful when you cry."
This perverted woman!
Cai He raised her eyes with tears in her eyes, pursed her lips and glared at her, "Why are you looking at me?"
Jiang He pointed at his face and said, "There's too much dirt on your face. Your tears have turned the dirt into mud. Once it dries, it will form a scab on your face, which will affect your facial expression."
Caihe: ...If you think there's too much mud, then don't look at it!
Several people over there were pierced by the triangular iron nails shot out from the mouthparts of the iron-eating ants.
This thing is poisonous and alive, like a small iron-eating ant, pitch black and extremely agile. Once it touches someone's body, it wants to drill into their flesh and blood.
Although it took a lot of effort to pull the Iron Triangle out of their flesh and blood, they were still covered in blood and looked extremely miserable.
"Damn it!" Big Head screamed. "How can the iron-eating ant be so terrifying? Are these triangular iron spikes a smaller, distorted version of it?"
The most common creature in the mine is the iron-eating ant. This creature likes to attack aliens. Aliens know it best, but no one expected that the ambitious iron-eating ant would be so ferocious after being promoted and distorted with so many abnormal abilities.
"The colorful fish also has many wounds from the Iron Triangle." The brown bear's large claws pulled out the Iron Triangle that had stuck in his leg again, threw it to the ground and stomped on it. His voice was calm, "The colorful fish might have been injured by this guy before."
"The Colorful Scale Fish is level seven, and this Iron-Eating Ant is only level five."
"Species clash. The Iron-Eating Ant's "iron triangle" is well-suited to attacking the Colorful-Scaled Fish, but it's possible the Colorful-Scaled Fish was already injured when it encountered the Iron-Eating Ant." Brown Bear continued, "It must have been injured in the battle with the Colorful-Scaled Fish, otherwise it wouldn't have fled the Colorful-Scaled Fish's territory. Let's hold on for a while and wait it out."
Now both sides are suffering losses, and it depends on who can outlast the other.
Jiang He felt that Brown Bear was very good at reasoning, and his last wave of speculation was obviously close to the truth.
She felt a little regretful in her heart that even though the iron-eating ant was injured, it still couldn't have its head smashed by these people.
Since they couldn't kill it, there was no point in wasting time. She said to everyone, "Stop beating it. Let it go."
Big Head said with a sad face, "We don't want to do that either. It wants to chase us and beat us."
They spoke as if they were thinking about the crystal core in this guy's head. They were now forced to fight back and were acting completely in self-defense.
Datou was stabbed by a triangle iron again. He was shocked and frightened, and screamed in pain, "Brother, Brother Jiang, how can I make it go away? Will it go away if I kneel down and yell at it?"
Everyone: ...You are desperate and trying every possible means. If that woman had any solution, she wouldn't just stand there and do nothing.
Jiang He: "Get lost!"
Her loud shout not only scared everyone, but also made the iron-eating ants on the top of the cave wall freeze for a moment, and then flow away along the cave wall as quickly as water.
He ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone...
You are still following your words.
Jiang He turned his head to look at Datou, "It's gone, you don't have to kneel down and call daddy."
Big Head Mumu nodded. Needless to say, he saw that the iron-eating ants moved very fast, as if they could not defeat them and left in a panic. Big Head even felt the fear from the bottom of its heart when the iron-eating ants froze.
His mind was in a mess, full of pain and confusion. He inexplicably remembered that when he first encountered this iron-eating ant, the other party also fled in panic.
At that time, they did not think Jiang He was powerful. They just thought that Jiang He had alarmed the enemy and scared away an iron-eating ant that was only level five in strength but had a rookie mentality. It was speechless that the woman was reckless, ignorant and stupid enough to let go of the delicious cake that was right in her mouth.
Oh, she also said that she would call the iron-eating ants back and beat them up.
At that time, they all thought that women were just bragging...
But now, Datou overlapped the iron-eating ants that had left in a panic, and inexplicably felt that the iron-eating ants at that time were not rookies, but were afraid of Jiang He.
Why is the level five iron-eating ant afraid of an ordinary alien?
Jiang He sighed.
Datou asked hurriedly: "What happened to Brother Jiang?"
Jiang He: "You didn't dig out the crystal core of the iron-eating ant."
An expression that says, "I've given you a chance but you're useless."
Everyone: …
They all remembered their previous boast that they could get the iron-eating ant crystal core.
It seems that they were the ones who were bragging at that time.
Datou sat on the ground and bandaged his thigh which was pierced by the triangular iron nail. It was so painful that he simply swallowed a painkiller pill.
Yao Leng, who was standing next to him, asked Jiang He, "The iron-eating ants seem to be very afraid of you. Why?"
Yes, yes, yes! Big Head nodded repeatedly. This was what he wanted to say. He was too embarrassed to ask again after being interrupted just now.
"I don't know." Jiang He thought for a moment, "Maybe I'm better than you guys."
Everyone: ...You are really not humble at all.
Caihe: "Was that the Lion's Roar Technique you just used? You roared at the Magma Beast before, and it collapsed. What kind of ability is that? Your roar before was very similar to the buzzing sound in the training camp."
The buzzer in training camp?
Cai He's words made Yao Leng and the others look extremely strange. Datou explained to Cai He, "The buzzing sound in the training camp imitates the sound of female iron-eating ants. The buzzing sound of female iron-eating ants is even more terrifying than the buzzing sound in our training camp. However, the buzzing sound in the training camp should have been upgraded before yesterday, and it sounds quite scary too."
No one listened to what Datou said later. At this moment, the same thought came to their minds: the sound Jiang He made was similar to the buzzing sound of female iron-eating ants?
Suddenly I understood why this level 5 iron-eating ant was afraid of Jiang He.
The iron-eating ants are a family dominated by females. The male iron-eating ants are all small and insignificant, and only the females are strong and authoritative in the family.
Jiang He: "Is my roar really that powerful?"
She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Caihe sincerely, "Now that you've said that, I have a deeper understanding of my own strength. Thank you."
Caihe: That damn woman is pretending again.
Everyone was very supportive: "Brother Jiang, you are really amazing, so awesome!"
After all, their lives were saved by others, so a few words of praise wouldn't cost them anything. As long as they praised her for keeping them safe, they would talk non-stop.
Everyone was seriously injured, but they did not rest in place. After treating the wounds and bloodstains, they sprayed a pungent smell on their bodies and immediately moved forward.
The blood stains here are too heavy to stay for long. Who knows, some nearby deformed creatures might smell the blood and come over to take advantage of the situation.
They could not withstand another wave of attacks.
Big Head stumbled and said weakly, "Even if a Level 2 Aberration comes now, it can wipe us out."
Looking around, everyone was covered in blood and mud, and no one had a complete body.
"Don't say anymore." Yao Leng said speechlessly, "Save your energy."
Yao Leng felt that Datou was a jinx, and he always created unexpected situations in the peaceful surroundings.
Big Head: ... "Don't worry, we have the aura of a level 6 nail-eating green python on us, and it's quite strong. The mutants are not stupid, so they will definitely not come close to us if they can't defeat us."
"Speaking of which, the scent of this nail-eating green python is really long-lasting." Big Head sighed, "I've never seen such a long-lasting scent. It saved us a lot of trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Big Head's expression suddenly changed. "The breath of the magma beast! That guy actually caught up with me. Damn, it really holds a grudge. I just gave it a middle finger. What's the big deal? Oh my god, it's pretty fast. Run, run."
Yao Leng: ...You have a bad mouth.
Brown Bear: "One or several? Can you guess what level they are?"
"One. A very strong magma breath." Big Head ran breathlessly on his short legs. "It's not one of those small magma beasts, like the big magma beast. Run faster, run faster. We definitely can't beat it."
Brown Bear asked Yao Leng, "How are you doing?"
Yao Leng gave a bitter laugh, "I can't condense ice spikes anymore for the time being."
Overuse of abilities will not only weaken you, but will also have a cooldown period.
The brown bear looked at Caihe and Qiu Fei, both of whom looked unhappy.
"I can only exert 30% of the power of my air punch. I can't condense the air explosion for the time being."
Caihe was still covering her tearful eyes with her hands: "My vision is a little blurry, and I can't focus my crane feathers to aim."
The iron-eating ant is poisonous, and its triangular iron spikes are also poisonous.
Although everyone swallowed the detoxification pills, the iron-eating ants were too high in level and still had an impact on them.
Jiang He said, "I'll cover your retreat."
Her voice was crisp, but Brown Bear knew she was badly injured. This woman always liked to act tough. Was it because no one had ever protected her from the wind and rain before? "Let me stay behind. You two should hurry up."
Jiang He glanced at his increasingly lame leg and said, "Let's go, stop arguing. I'll cover you."
Her tone was not very nice. If these guys continued to procrastinate, she would punch them all away without mercy.
Several people wanted to say something but stopped themselves and finally fell silent. They gritted their teeth and rushed forward at the limit of their physical strength.
I was hoping that if I rushed faster, I could get rid of the magma beast.
After all, that guy didn't seem to be able to run very fast after leaving the lava pool.
Big Head: "Go, go, go, maybe we can put some distance between us and it."
He really regretted that he shouldn't have given the magma beast the middle finger.
So rude!
He deeply repented and apologized to the magma beast a thousand times in his heart, hoping that the other party would forgive him and go back to the magma pool.
"It's catching up, catching up, less than five meters away." Big Head's voice stuttered, "What should I do? Its aura is terrifying, at least above level three."
Although Jiang He was the last one to leave, no one thought that Jiang He could withstand the magma beast.
Big Head looked desperate and said, "How about I simulate the smell of a fart and see if I can stink it away."
"Don't." Jiang He said immediately, "Run away and stop making a stinking noise, or I'll throw you to the magma beast first."
Big Head: ...Even though you sound fierce, I know you won't do that.
Woman, you are the most soft-hearted and kind!
Yao Leng also said, "You haven't even driven the magma beast away yet, and it's already suffocated us to death."
Brown Bear: "You guys keep running, Xiao Jiang and I will cover your rear."
At this time, the fastest way to run is to run as fast as possible. Even the colorful crane mutated its tattered wings and flapped them to rush forward.
Brown Bear said to Jiang He, "Should I carry you?"
Jiang He: "No, just keep running and don't talk."
If you say one more word, I'll beat you up.
Brown Bear: She really feels sorry for me!
The brown bear is temporarily unable to transform into a beast form. The injury to his calf affects his speed, but he has bear genes after all, so he can still run very fast and will not be left at the back.
Big Head: "Two meters, one meter, be careful..."
The brown bear stopped running forward. He turned around, gritted his teeth, and transformed one of his hands into a bear claw. "Find cover, attack!"
Everyone turned around like him, and without weapons, they simply picked up stones from the ground.
Although they are heinous criminals, they are not stupid at all.
At this time, no one can drive away the magma beast alone. Although everyone is injured, there may be a glimmer of hope if they work together to resist.
When they turned around, they also saw the magma beast rushing out from the corner.
It was not those small magma beasts with their heads twisted off, nor was it the huge magma beasts that crawled out of the magma pool.
Although it was covered in magma and its body was on fire, its outline looked very much like a human.
What's a little strange is that there's a round hole on its head. It's not big, about the size of a ping-pong ball, and it connects the front and back.
This is strange. What is the purpose of this hole in the magma beast's skull? Is it used to place the crystal core?
When facing the magma beast, everyone clearly felt its power.
They can't win.
The heat wave and burning sensation made all they could smell at the tip of their noses was the smell of burnt smoke from their own bodies.
Although they wanted to fight to the death, they were already extremely desperate.
This magma beast is at least level four. Even if they use all their strength, they probably won't be able to hurt it.
Jiang He, who was at the front, suddenly shouted, "Back off."
The sound was loud and deafening.
Although I don't understand why she asked everyone to retreat, but in this tense state, my body almost instinctively obeyed this command.
Everyone was retreating, and as they retreated, they saw Jiang He rushing towards the magma beast.
What's wrong with her? Could she also shout away the lava beast?
Compared to the magma beast covered in orange fireworks, Jiang He was pitch black and inconspicuous.
At this moment, she wanted to find a knife to chop off her hand.
The little pink tentacles in her palm stretched out their tips and pulled her whole body towards the magma beast.
The little pink tentacles bared their teeth and opened their mouths wide. They were very angry and pointed their tentacles at the magma beast with a ferocious look that said, "I'm going to bite you to death."
But this little beast is not even as thick as a finger of the magma beast. Where does it get the confidence to be so fierce?
Jiang He was like a master being dragged by a Husky and forced to pounce on the magma beast, giving it an intimate hug.
There was no way to dodge it, absolutely no way to dodge it. She never expected that she would die in this way.
The miracle that everyone expected did not happen.
The woman approached the magma beast, and almost instantly, she was engulfed by the magma flames.
The magma beast was not tall, only reaching her waist, but when she rushed forward, the magma on the magma beast flowed all over her, wrapping her tightly and burning her into a fireball. The flames of the magma beast instantly jumped high, completely enveloping her in flames.
It looked like she had been contaminated and turned into a magma beast.
"Jiang Jiang!" The brown bear yelled and was about to pounce. Qiu Fei grabbed his arm tightly. Yao Leng also rushed over and used all his strength to condense a small ice spike and shot it towards the flame.
The ice spike was not even as thick as a finger, so trying to use it to extinguish the flames on Jiang He's body was nothing but a fool's dream.
"That magma beast, that magma beast..." Big Head stared at Jiang He, who was covered in flames, in horror and stammered, "Look quickly."
After Jiang He rushed forward and hugged the magma beast, its magma flowed over Jiang He's body, burning him like a match.
But the magma beast itself is made of magma. After the magma flowed over Jiang He's body, the magma beast disappeared.
Caihe's expression was gloomy. "The magma beast has melted."
Melted into her body.
The good news is that the magma beast that almost killed them all melted, which is equivalent to getting a box lunch on the spot.
The bad news is that their teammate burned herself to light up everyone else, and she exchanged her life for several of theirs.
"She's really sick in the brain." Big Head murmured.
We are all teammates, and we do need to work together at critical moments, but being teammates does not mean we have to sacrifice ourselves to save everyone.
They are all heinous criminals, not superheroes.
This guy has a serious brain disease!
"Will the crystal cores be burned?" Big Head said with a pained look on his face, "So many crystal cores, and they're all gone."
Qiu Fei said: "Some crystal cores may not burn."
Big Head breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, then let's wait a while until the fire is out, maybe we can find something else."
He sat down on the ground, leaning against the wall behind him, with wounds all over his body. He took a painkiller and originally didn't feel the pain, but now he was sitting on the ground, staring at Jiang He, who was on fire, and his body was inexplicably in pain everywhere.
He asked Yao Leng, who was sitting next to his legs, "She's still alive and breathing. Do you think she feels any pain?"
After Yao Leng shot out the last ice spike, he fell to the ground exhausted. He was also staring at Jiang He, who was covered in flames.
He agreed with Big Head's words: This woman has a serious mental illness.
"The pain will go away after taking the painkillers, right?" Yao Leng was a little unsure. "Should the painkillers be effective enough to withstand the pain of being burned?"
Caihe said, "She didn't take any painkillers."
He also leaned against the wall, staring at the fire in front of him with a gloomy expression.
These people were all heinous criminals who deserved to be put to death. She had only met them by chance and it was far from being a friendship between them.
He knew best that she didn't like brown bears at all.
Nor is he the love-brained guy who chased a brown bear to the bottom of the mine.
Why did she sacrifice herself?
She was still breathing, which meant she was now suffering from the pain of her burning flesh.
"It hurts when the lava burns my flesh." Qiu Fei stared at his fist.
His fist was burned with blood blisters when he hit the magma beast before, and it still hurts a little. He couldn't imagine how painful it would be for this woman to be burned by magma all over her body and still be alive.
No one dared to go see the brown bear.
Compared to how they felt sorry for the crystal cores, Brown Bear felt even more heartbroken because his relationship with the woman ended just as it began.
It was really a flash in the pan.
The key is that there are almost no women in the training camp, so it’s not easy to go up to him and comfort him with words like “there will be better things in the future”.
After all, the two women who came to the training camp before, one was deformed and the other was mechanical, both of them were extremely ugly with their fangs and claws.
I guess there won’t be any female prisoners who look so human in the future.
What's more, she is pretty and a love-minded person who only cares about Brown Bear.
Everyone knows their own limitations and that they are not important enough for Jiang He to sacrifice herself. She must have done this because she wanted the brown bear to live.
The brown bear was very silent, and the words of the crowd were like distant mist, not reaching his ears.
His eyes were fixed on the human-shaped fireball in front of him without blinking.
Big Head glanced at him quietly and found that his back was severely bent. Such a strong man was now huddled there like a little quail, which looked very pitiful.
He thought sadly that even if the fire was out, there would be a few crystal cores that survived, but who would have the nerve to share those crystal cores?
It must have been taken away by the brown bear.
After all, it was a token of love left to him by the woman.
Yao Leng asked him, "Do you have any more crystal cores?"
Big Head nodded and took out a first-level crystal core from his sturdy pocket and handed it to him.
Yao Leng threw it into his mouth and asked him, "Do you have any more painkillers? I feel like the painkillers today aren't very effective."
Maybe it was because I was too close to the fire, I always felt a burning pain spreading from the inside out.
He wasn't feeling well, so he wanted to take another painkiller.
"No more." Big Head shook his head: "You can only take one painkiller pill within 48 hours. You can't take it again if you have it."
The woman's burning body stood for a while and then fell to the ground. She shrunk herself into a shrimp, and the lava fire continued to burn on her body. The flames rushed straight to the top of the cave, with no sign of weakening.
Qiu Fei, who was standing by, asked, "Why hasn't the fire gone out yet? Is she still alive?"
Big Head nodded, "Alive."
Qiu Fei was stunned and sighed, "That was really painful."
Big Head agreed, "Her body can handle quite a bit of heat."
Yao Leng looked at the brown bear. Living like this was a bit too painful. It would be better to let her die quickly.
Although he didn't ask directly, his eyes expressed it very clearly.
If Brown Bear is reluctant to do it himself, he can do it for him.
The brown bear didn't say anything. He suddenly sat up, and one of his hands transformed into a bear claw. He kept digging soil from the wall and throwing it at Jiang He.
The temperature in the cave was not so cold under the scorching flames, and the soil on the wall was also loose, making it easier to dig than usual.
Bear paws are also very suitable for digging soil, and they can dig a lot at a time.
The brown bear tried to put out the fire with dirt.
After realizing his intention, everyone stood up and started digging with their hands.
They have never been the kind of people who are willing to go to great lengths to save their teammates. Helping the other party die quickly is their greatest kindness.
This is certainly not done to make exceptions for women.
They just hope to save more crystal cores that have not been burned yet.
"The fire is getting smaller." Big Head said in surprise: "Using soil to put out the fire actually works."
"She's still breathing." Big Head continued, "Brother Jiang's healing ability is super strong. She might survive."
But no one believed this.
How could she be alive after being burned like this? Her breathing only means that she is waiting to die in pain.
The magma fire on Jiang He's body was very strong and it looked like it could burn for several days and nights without going out.
Fortunately, the soil that everyone dug with great effort had an effect on the lava fire. As more and more soil piled on her, the last flame on her body went out.
Datou was worried and sprinkled a layer of soil on the place where the flames were extinguished, then went over to take a look.
The brown bear had already dug away the thick layer of soil on her body and bent down to check her breathing and pulse.
Jiang He, lying on the ground, was charred all over, like a carbonized piece of wood.
It also looks like a mummy wrapped in layer upon layer of black cloth.
In short, the limbs and torso were still there, but they were all burnt.
Big Head subconsciously glanced at Jiang He's right sleeve which was filled with crystal cores.
The clothes must have been burned to ashes, but the crystal core...
Not a single crystal core was seen.
How can the crystal core be burned out when the human body hasn’t been burned out yet?
Datou was shocked and felt pain in his heart. At this moment, he even wanted to turn Jiang He over.
Look, aren't all the crystal cores scattered under her body?
Jiang He's breath was still there, but it was a little weak. Brown Bear tried to help her remove the layer of carbonized black skin on her face.
Caihe stopped him, "You'd better not pick it."
The carbonized skin is connected to her flesh, blood and bones, which is equivalent to her skin. If you peel off a person's skin, can the person still survive?
The brown bear reacted after being reminded by him and moved Jiang He's body carefully.
He raised his head and glanced at the clothes of several people.
Everyone: ...
Got it!
They took off their clothes and threw them to the brown bear.
The brown bear wrapped layers of clothes around Jiang He to fix her carbonized skin, and then carefully picked her up.
He ordered everyone: "Go check if there are any crystal cores in the soil."
Big Head breathed a sigh of relief and began to search for the crystal core openly.
Caihe and Yao Leng didn't move. Datou and Qiu Fei turned over the steaming soil on the ground and shook their heads in disappointment.
"There's not a single crystal core left. They've all been burned."
They didn't need to say anything, everyone saw it.
Fortunately, the seventh-level crystal core was kept by the brown bear and is still there.
Although everyone was frustrated and felt like they had found a treasure and then lost it, they changed their minds and realized that at least there was still a level seven crystal core.
Moreover, those lost crystal cores did not belong to them, they all belonged to Jiang He.
It has nothing to do with them.
As he left, Datou glanced reluctantly at the still smoking pile of dirt, muttering in confusion, "How come there's nothing left? If Jiang Ge wakes up and finds that her crystal core is gone, she'll probably be very upset."
After all, he, as a bystander, was also feeling uncomfortable.
Yao Leng said, "If she can wake up, I can give her a few more of the level seven crystal cores. I have no objection."
But can she wake up?
Even if she wakes up, this state will be a little hard for her to accept.
"How many points are there for the training camp's medical bay?" Big Head slapped his head. "If she lies in the medical bay, will she get better?"
"One million points." Qiu Fei said, "One million points and twenty minutes. That medical cabin hasn't been opened since it was brought into the training camp. It's always just a decoration."
Although capitalists say in high-sounding words that they want to give prisoners human rights and humanitarian care.
Even the medical cabin was donated by capital in order to highlight its own kindness.
But the medical cabin is not free to use in the training camp.
One million points is a sky-high price that the prisoners can never reach.
What's more, one million points can only be used for twenty minutes.
Even the leaders of the three major organizations have never used this thing, let alone ordinary prisoners.
Qiu Fei finished speaking, then remained silent for a moment before adding, "No one has a million points."
Anyone who was truly capable of earning a million points would have already left the training camp based on their abilities.
"Fuck, that's expensive." Big Head calculated, "I only have a few thousand points now, and you still think I'm a rich man."
Prisoners in the training camp rarely have any points left, as they are either used to buy food or various medicines or consumables.
If your points exceed a thousand, you are considered upper-middle class rich.
Yao Leng said, "Twenty minutes won't help with an injury like hers."
And given her current injury, it is still a question whether she can hold on until returning to training camp.
Of course, there is another possibility, that no one can make it back to training camp.
Caihe spoke up at this time, "Are there any deformed plants with healing properties at the bottom of the mine?"
"Of course there are," Big Head said. "The medicine we use is all made from the mutated plants at the bottom of the mine. Everything in our training camp is basically produced and sold here, nothing is shipped in from outside."
The drugs they carried were either homemade by fellow inmates, traded with each other, or purchased with points from vending machines.
The items in vending machines are extremely expensive, especially medicines.
Therefore, the few guys in the training camp who have medicinal abilities all live a comfortable life, and no one would be stupid enough to kill the guys who can make medicine.
Even if there are mutated plants at the bottom of the mine, it is not suitable to take them now.
Firstly, the mine floor was very strange tonight, and secondly, their combined strength wasn't very high, so they probably couldn't even take out a Level 1 mutant. Furthermore, mutant plants weren't easy to find.
Caihe: "Are we just going to watch her die like this?"
No one responded.
What else can I do besides watching like this? Do I have to kneel down and watch?
Perhaps the previous journey had exhausted all the bad luck, and no more distorted objects were encountered in the following mines.
But Big Head always wrinkles his nose from time to time.
Yao Leng, who was standing next to him, asked, "What do you smell?"
"I'm not sure." Datou rubbed his nose with his hand, "I don't know if there's something wrong with my nose."
He shook his head, uncertainly saying, "I just smelled something a little off. There was a faint scent of something aberrant, but when I sniffed again, I couldn't smell anything."
He turned his head and whispered to Yao Leng, "Why don't you look up at the top of the cave wall again?"
Yao Leng was speechless, but still looked up vigilantly to check, but there was nothing on the top of the cave wall.
This made everyone feel relieved.
If that iron-eating ant follows them again, they won't be able to defeat it.
"There must be something wrong with my nose." Big Head rubbed his nose again, "I used my abilities too much today, and my nose is throbbing and my head is hurting."
Having said that, on the way there, Yao Leng looked up from time to time to check the top of the cave.
The appearance of the iron-eating ants reminded them that many deformed objects would attach to the top of the cave.
Although Datou kept saying that there was something wrong with his nose, Yao Leng still paid some attention to the top of the cave wall.
They then encountered several collapsed caves, and at one point, they encountered a lava pool again.
Fortunately, I have experience this time, so I will just run away when I encounter it and will never raise my finger to provoke it.
After a safe journey, at daybreak, they arrived at the platform in the No. 2 mine.
They were so tired and nervous all the way that several people collapsed on the platform, no longer thinking about how to climb up.
Datou lay down and took a few breaths before he seemed to remember something. He looked over at Jiang He, who had been carefully placed on the ground by the brown bear. "How's my brother Jiang? Is he dead?"
Yao Leng was close by, so he glanced at him and replied, "He should still be breathing."
Big Head sighed: "He survived the burn, awesome! It's a shame about those crystal cores."
When the others heard this, they felt a pang of pain in their hearts for a second.
"Let's wait until eight o'clock for the basket to come down." Big Head looked at the sky above the No. 2 mine and said weakly, "I really can't climb anymore."
Yao Leng: "The Deformed People and Robots will beat us to death for our own good."
The seventh-level crystal cores they carry are extremely rare.
They were all injured.
It's like a guy with no strength on his back carrying a mountain of gold.
Anyone who sees this will think twice before grabbing it.
Ideally they should be out of the mine before eight o'clock.
Otherwise, you will be crushed to ashes by robots and deformed people.
To die at the hands of such low-level trash would be a shame.
Brown Bear looked at his watch. "Six-thirty. Rest for five minutes before starting to climb the wall."
Well No. 2 was exactly the same as Well No. 1. Big Head looked around and asked Brown Bear, "Brother Bear, can we really climb up?"
Each of them was seriously injured. The brown bear could not mutate into a bear, and Yao Leng could not condense ice spikes.
Qiu Fei and Datou's climbing claws were still there, but Datou felt that with such severe injuries on his body, he did not have the strength and endurance to climb up.
If you get exhausted and fall down halfway, you will really fall into a puddle of mud.
Big Bear: "I'll climb up first and lower the basket down."
Caihe said, "I'll try it first."
After this night, his wings not only lost a lot of feathers, but also did not grow as big as usual. They looked like the two small wings of a broiler chicken, small, bruised and useless.
But if he fell down while climbing, he might be able to save his life with this pair of small wings.
So the first person to climb up became a colorful crane.
Caihe was a newcomer and didn't have many connections with anyone, so no one said anything sentimental to him.
They all watched him climb up eagerly.
Big Head, "I hope he can climb up and not fall down."
Yao Leng: "As long as you keep quiet, he will definitely be able to climb up."
The brown bear lay beside Jiang He. He was so tired, so weak, and he was just holding on with one breath.
"He's getting slower and slower." Qiu Fei was also staring at Cai He. "He's only climbed one-fifth of the way up. There's little hope he can make it."
Everyone sighed when they heard this.
Big Head said, "If even a colorful crane with wings can't climb up, then we have no hope. Why don't we find a mine to hide in before eight o'clock? After the deformed people and robots go in to mine, we can take the gondola up."
This is also a solution.
Yao Leng: "There are always mutants and robots around the platform. There's a high chance we'll run into them. Unless we recover from our injuries in the mine, we'll have no hope of escaping."
"Oh, it's all because we are too famous." There are too many people in the three major organizations, and most of the little Luo Luos ignore each other.
But everyone would recognize the important heads of the three major organizations.
Both the deformed people and the robots hate the aliens very much. Once they find that the enemy's small leader has come from their territory and is carrying a huge treasure, it would be strange if they don't kill him with such a good opportunity.
Suddenly, Caihe's body fell downwards, probably because he was exhausted and couldn't dig his climbing claws into the wall, which led to the sudden decline.
Everyone's heart sank instantly.
