Chapter 035 Who calls who the boss?
The ghost glove grabbed one of the iron tree's slender arms.
His black gloves were too conspicuous, and when Tie Shu's white arm was grabbed by him, it felt like it was embedded in a piece of black iron stone.
In fact, the ghost gloves were very strong. After being caught by him, the iron tree could not move at all.
"Iron Tree, you just used up too much energy. Take a rest and recover your strength."
Ghost Gloves didn't mention what Iron Tree was about to do, as he wanted to make a big deal out of it.
Glancing at the crowd, he saw no one had raised any substantive opinions, so he made his final decision: "The fish in the sewage probably won't emerge during the day. Perhaps we can rest here and try to wade across again at daybreak. With enough rest, we can perform at our best when we encounter the golden thorns."
There were eight people. The injured Tieshu was exempted from the night watch. The others were divided into groups of two, and the team leader was in a separate group. They rotated every hour.
Jiang He and Chang Zai were grouped together.
They were also the first wave to keep watch.
Changzi glanced at Jiang He and waved his fist in disgust. Then he frowned, bent down, and kicked his feet hard.
The sewage in the river was icy cold. His feet had just touched the edge of the sewage, but he still had the illusion of being frozen.
It was a dark night, with no light or anything else, and his feet were completely black. Changzi lowered his head and found nothing on his feet except some dirty water.
Jiang He's eyes fell on his feet as he moved, and he took a step back to distance himself from him: "You have nematodes on your feet."
Changzi stamped his feet again. They felt colder and colder, as if ice cubes were tucked into the soles of his feet. Hearing Jiang He's words, he subconsciously wanted to scold her, but swallowed the words and lowered his head to check his feet.
For fear of attracting distorted creatures, no one lit a fire. It was pitch black all around. Although distorted people had good night vision, it was not as good as seeing during the day.
Changzi turned on the flashlight he carried with him and shone it on his feet.
Jiang He leaned forward slightly and stared at his mini flashlight curiously, "Where did you get the flashlight from?"
Her tone was too casual and innocent.
Changzi snorted coldly and replied proudly, "I redeemed it from the vending machine for 2,000 points."
Jiang He: "That's quite cheap, it's worth it."
Changzi: ? ? You think 2,000 points is cheap?
"Get out of here, stay away from me."
How many prisoners in the training camp can afford a flashlight? This guy has never even seen a flashlight, but he dares to say that a flashlight that costs two thousand points is cheap, haha!
He took off his shoes and shone the flashlight on his feet. Densely packed black lines as long as fingers almost covered his entire feet, and these things were still scrambling to get into his feet.
His feet were so swollen that he could vaguely see nematodes swimming under the skin, but he didn't feel any pain or itching from beginning to end.
Changzi cursed, quickly took out the medicine and sprayed it on his feet, waking up Tieshu as well.
The black nematodes were like thin threads, and many of them had already drilled into the flesh. When the light was shone, one could see many nematodes moving around under the skin of the calf.
Everyone was no longer sleepy and came over. Fortunately, they had some insect repellent with them. They lit a fire and put their legs and feet over it to roast.
These nematodes are afraid of heat and quickly crawl out of the skin and flesh, fall to the ground and swim around looking for a new host.
But as soon as they fell to the ground, they were smashed into a pulp by the old man Shi.
"So disgusting, so disgusting." Old Man Shi was smashing things with great pleasure, just like he was playing a game of whack-a-mole.
After the nematodes were completely driven out, Tieshu and Changzai's bodies below the knees were covered with bloody holes. They were so ruthless that they burned their bodies below the calves with torches until they were completely destroyed in order to force the nematodes out.
Ghost Gloves applied ointment on their legs: "Luckily we found it in time. You two should have a good rest tonight."
Jiang He was reassigned a night watch teammate, Mr. Shi.
The other person was too tall and big. When Jiang He looked at her, she had to tilt her head back to see his two big nostrils.
She didn't want to meet his nose, so she just kept turning her head and staring around.
The Stone Elder, who had been keeping a sufficient distance from her, became annoyed when he saw that she ignored him. He threw a small stone at Jiang He and asked, "Hey, how did you activate your ability to charm people?"
Although it was just a small stone in his palm, in Jiang He's eyes, the stone was bigger than an egg. She dodged sideways and stared at the old man's big feet with an expressionless face.
There were probably no shoes for Shi Lao Ren to wear in the training camp, or maybe he just relied on his thick skin and didn't wear shoes, so his big feet were exposed and very conspicuous.
Jiang He guessed that his deformation state should be more than 50%, otherwise his body would not be so hard without deformation.
She replied: "It depends on the eye contact."
Stone Old Man: "You'd better not use charm on me, otherwise..."
Jiang He interrupted him, "You are too ugly for me."
Her tone was calm, not like she was nitpicking, but just stating the facts.
It was this attitude that made Old Man Shi even more angry. "Get lost, I'm too good for you."
Jiang He: "Oh, okay."
It was perfunctory, so perfunctory, the Stone Old Man threw pebbles at her again.
This time Jiang He reached out and caught his little stone and threw it back.
It hit the Stone Old Man's nostrils. The Stone Old Man cried out, covered his nostrils with his big hands, and glared at Jiang He fiercely.
Seeing that the other person turned his head and ignored him, he pushed him with his back, as if silently saying: You are too ugly and I don’t want to look at you.
He was furious and picked up a stone from the ground and hit Jiang He on the back of the head.
This stone is about the same size as Jiang He's head.
He was certain that Jiang He would be knocked to the ground.
But the other person seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He dodged sideways when the stone was thrown and grabbed the stone with both hands.
She turned the stones over and over in her hands without saying a word or looking back.
It was as if the stone was a toy he gave her, and she accepted it with pleasure.
The Stone Old Man's anger reached its peak at this moment. He looked around and found another big stone that needed to be lifted up with both hands.
Just as she was about to throw the stone at Jiang He, Jiang He turned around at this moment, and the stone she was throwing around hit the old man's forehead first.
The Stone Man was knocked to the ground.
The huge rock he lifted up fell on himself.
The big rocks didn't hurt, but Jiang He's small rocks made his head buzz. His huge body fell to the ground, alarming his teammates.
Ghost Glove asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Old Man Shi replied in a muffled voice, "I just fell down accidentally."
"You fool!"
Everyone chuckled a few times, and because they were tired, no one was too lazy to talk. They continued to close their eyes and sleep as much as possible to recuperate.
Jiang He walked over and, under the vigilant gaze of Old Man Shi, lifted the big stone off the man's body.
Old Man Shi: "You little white face, if you dare to hit me again, try it."
He thought Jiang He was going to drop the big rock on his head again, so he struggled to get up.
Jiang He held the big rock aside and sat on it.
The stone was clean and comfortable to sit on. She turned around and politely thanked the old man who had gotten up: "Thank you."
Old Man Shi: ...How dare you, a pretty boy, ridicule me!
As he walked to Jiang He, Jiang He turned around and asked him, "Does the fruit of the golden thorn work on your petrification?"
The degree of deformation of the Stone Old Man's body has exceeded 50%, and the speed of his body petrification will accelerate. If it is not curbed, one day in the future his body will be completely petrified into a large human-shaped stone.
Old Man Shi had a preconceived notion and felt that Jiang He was mocking him. He waved his fist and said, "None of your business..."
Jiang He raised his arm, and his fist hit Jiang He's arm, causing a buzzing pain. Looking again, he saw that the pretty boy's arm was pitch black and looked abnormally swollen.
As a person with stone attributes, Old Man Shi understood the situation very well.
He shook his fist, which was a little sore, and asked, "What is this?"
"Petrification." Jiang He said, "It happened very quickly. During the day, it was only the palm of the hand that was petrified, but at night it spread to the entire forearm."
"Such a rapid petrification speed shows that you are very weak and unable to control your own petrification." The Stone Old Man sneered, "I have never seen such a weak stone attribute as you. It's really shameful."
Jiang He: "Does the fruit of the golden thorn have an effect on petrification?"
"Of course there are," said the Stone Elder. "The fruit of the golden thorn can turn petrified people back to normal. If I eat one, I'll be like those extraordinary people. I can be petrified when I want to, and I'll be a normal person when I don't."
Ever since his petrification rate reached 50%, his body has been expanding, becoming harder and bigger like a balloon. He used to look like a handsome young man, but not like this now.
Although the Deformed People hate the Inhumans, they also want to become Inhumans from the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang He nodded: "Oh, that's great."
Old Man Shi looked at her, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Do these silly newcomers really think they can enter the golden thorns and get the crystal core or fruit?
Oh, stupid.
The ones who came to take over the two people's shift were Liang Dao and 2671. They didn't expect that Jiang He would sit down and chat with Old Man Shi.
She was very surprised and suspected that Jiang He had used her charm skills on Old Man Shi. After a closer look, she found that Old Man Shi was listless, while Jiang He was in high spirits. They looked at each other and lit a candle in their hearts for Old Man Shi. Old Man Shi must have been charmed and then "taken" by this woman.
This woman really won't miss any opportunity to have sex with her. You must keep a distance from her and never be alone.
Jiang He held the stone he had just picked up and found a place on a small slope, then leaned against it and took a nap.
Perhaps because they were both petrified, the old man also lay beside her.
He said, "Petrification has its advantages. It increases your chances of surviving danger. You'd better be thankful that more petrified areas were formed before entering the Golden Thorn territory."
Liang Dao and 2671, who were on night watch, saw the two of them lying together, and their pupils trembled.
The ability of charm is so terrifying that it can even have subsequent effects!
When it was just getting light, Ghost Gloves woke everyone up.
Jiang He looked at his bracelet. It was five o'clock.
Changzi and Tieshu's leg injuries were still quite serious. They wrapped the wounds with a layer of cloth before getting up.
The morning mist shrouded the surroundings in haziness, and everyone went to check the sewage river first.
Just like what you see at night, the sewage is pitch black, like thick mud, and emits a pungent smell that is foul and smelly.
But now there are no fine and dense black bubbles on the sewage.
The stone man threw a stone in, but no black fish jumped out.
He turned around and asked Ghost Glove: "Is it safe?"
Ghost Glove stared at the dark sewage and said, "It would be great if someone could go explore the way."
Everyone subconsciously wanted to turn their heads to look at Jiang He, but the news that she had seduced and taken essence from Old Man Shi last night had already spread. Although Old Man Shi, one of the parties involved, firmly denied it, it did not affect everyone's judgment.
No one turned to look at Jiang He. Everyone was looking at the captain intently, waiting for the next words.
Seeing that no one was talking, Ghost Glove found a long stick and probed the depth of the sewage. It was higher than his legs. He said to himself, "It seems we have no choice but to wade through it."
4825, who rarely spoke, said, "I have a way to help everyone get to the other side of the river."
Everyone's eyes turned to him.
He continued, "Last night, I couldn't see the width of the riverbank, so I wasn't sure. Now that it's wide, I can throw everyone over."
Changzi: "Are you sure?"
4825 nodded.
Ghost Gloves, "Then let's follow the old rules. Each of you will be given 100 points."
"One hundred points is a bit too little." 4825 bargained. "To throw you over, I need to transform into a deformed beast. 200 points, you get 1,000 points."
He was pointing at Jiang He.
Jiang He asked, "Why do I need a thousand points? I'm more important than them all."
4825 said arrogantly: Humph, that’s a nice thought. It’s because you are not important that I need a thousand points.
Points are finally redeemed by purchasing items at the self-service vending machine. This is the common understanding of the members of the temporary team.
4825's limbs were deformed into long monkey-like hands and feet.
He first threw Changzi, the lightest one, to the other side of the river. After confirming that this method of throwing could really throw people over, a hint of joy appeared on Ghost Gloves' face, but he restrained his excitement. After the two of them passed by and confirmed that there was no movement on the surface of the sewage water, he let 4825 throw himself over as well.
As 4825 was throwing the iron tree, he glanced at its lanky body and said casually, "It's easiest to throw someone like you."
Tieshu pursed his lips and said nothing. He hated it most when people made fun of his body shape.
When he was thrown over the river, a big-headed black fish suddenly jumped out of the stagnant sewage. The fish opened its mouth wide, and a small black fish with its mouth wide open jumped out of its mouth. The small black fish bit Tieshu's head and put the human head, which looked twice its size, into its mouth.
"Click".
Blood splattered everywhere.
The sharp teeth in the fish's mouth closed, and the small fish fell into the big fish's mouth with the trophy in its mouth. The big fish's dark eyeballs rolled, glanced at the river plants on the shore, and fell into the sewage, causing ripples.
Jiang He: ...This fish seemed to have just passed by everyone and locked onto her.
What makes her different from everyone else? Is it because of the 1,000 points incident?
The incident happened so quickly that not only was the iron tree thrown into the air, but even the people on the other side of the river failed to react in time.
In a flash, Tieshu's head was swallowed by the fish, which was only half the size of his head. Blood spurted from the broken neck, like a blood rain spraying in the air.
The iron tree didn't even make any sound before its head and body separated.
His body also fell into the dark sewage with blood spurting out.
The moment he fell into the water, countless nematodes swam through the sewage and swarmed towards him. The entire dark sewage seemed to come alive because of these nematodes.
After the water rippled around and around, it became quiet again like dead water.
The people on the other side of the river and the people on this side all looked at each other in silence.
This time, no one thinks there is no danger in sewage.
They were glad that they did not wade across the river, otherwise they would not be able to deal with not only the two-headed snakehead fish but even the dense nematodes.
Ghost Gloves looked at the people on the other side of the river and said, "If you want to retreat, just go back the way you came. You still have a chance to withdraw."
Changzi stared at the hesitant people and rolled his eyes. "You've come this far and now you're turning back. You're such a coward. These fish won't eat everyone. It's full now. Why don't you come over now?"
His words successfully stimulated several people who were hesitant and wanted to retreat.
Liang Dao and 2761 exchanged a glance, then walked over to 4825. "We'll give you our 400 points when we get back to training camp. If we can't get back, we have over a thousand items on us, and they're all yours."
4825 nodded. He was actually also frightened by the sight of the iron tree being eaten by the fish. His hands and feet were still shaking and weak, but since there were still people who wanted to cross the river, he calmed himself down, took a break, and continued to swing his arms and throw.
After Liang Dao and the other two were thrown away, Jiang He was the only one left. 4825 stared at her, "You'd better come up with something worth 1,000 points right now, or I won't give you credit."
Jiang He was not angry when she heard this. She was disgusted by the dense nematodes and two-headed fish in the sewage river.
One thousand points allowed her to cross the river cleanly, which was a great deal for her.
Her senses were sharp, and the fact that the black fish's dark eyes had locked onto her just now was definitely not an illusion.
She had a vague feeling that she would be the second target of Black Fish's attack.
It's really strange, what did Black Fish see in her?
Jiang He took out a one-star crystal core from his pocket and handed it to 4825. "I don't have any ready-made items. Can a crystal core do?"
Crystal cores are hard currency in the training camp that cannot be bought even with points. A first-level crystal core can be sold for two thousand points, and there is a shortage of people, so the final price to get one is at least three thousand points.
Ordinary prisoners like J72 have almost no chance of seeing crystal cores, let alone buying or selling them.
When the people on the other side saw her take out a crystal core, they all turned to look at Captain Ghost Gloves.
Ghost Gloves: "I told you, only after you enter the Golden Thorn's territory will you be given a Level 1 Crystal Core."
The meaning is very straightforward. The first-level crystal core in Jiang He's hand was not given by him.
Liang Dao and 2671 couldn't help but glance sideways at the Stone Old Man.
Could it be that this first-level crystal core was stolen by that woman from Old Man Shi?
4825 immediately went to grab the crystal core, "Okay."
He would not question where Jiang He's crystal core came from. Once it was in his hands, it was his.
Jiang He pinched the crystal core, dodged his hand that was trying to grab the crystal core, and raised his chin. "Take me to the other side, and I'll give you the crystal core."
4825 was anxious, "What if you get eaten by a snakehead fish?"
The crystal core is gone.
Jiang He: "They're worried I'll be eaten by the snakehead fish, so they threw me higher."
4825 stared at Jiang He's clenched crystal fist and her frail little body.
At this moment, only he and Jiang He were left on the river bank. He was debating whether to kill the other party and snatch the crystal core, or to intimidate the other party.
Jiang He smiled at his scrutinizing and hesitant gaze, "Want to just rob me? Guess what, after you fight me here, your teammates will be wary of you and covet the crystal core you got."
Her words made 4825 suddenly realize that this was not the bottom of a mine. He could find a remote cave and kill someone without being discovered. There were so many eyes on him on the other side of the river.
He couldn't do it.
"Okay. I'll throw you over here. Give me your crystal core. If you change your mind, I'll beat you to death."
Jiang He smiled and said, "As long as you throw me over successfully, this crystal core will be yours. I mean what I say."
For the sake of his crystal core, he had to get the person to the other side safely. 4825 took a deep breath, his expression even more serious than Jiang He's.
He first moved his limbs to make sure that he was in the best condition, then he grabbed Jiang He's arm and threw him into the air. The first thought in his head was: How come this pretty boy is heavier than Old Man Shi!
It was so heavy! His arms were almost bent under the weight.
One-star crystal core...
His mind was full of shiny one-star crystal cores.
So far, he has never owned a crystal core. He joined this team because Ghost Gloves promised to give each team member a crystal core.
As long as he throws the person over, he will get the second crystal core.
4825 gritted his teeth and dug two deep pits in the ground with his feet. He swung his arms vigorously, swung Jiang He in the air, and used inertia to throw him to the opposite side.
Jiang He was thrown high into the air.
As she wished, she was thrown higher than everyone else, far away from the smelly sewage.
When her body was about to pass over the sewage, countless large black bubbles suddenly emerged from the sewage, which had been in a stagnant state.
Since the black fish swallowed the iron tree, the sewage seemed to be full as Changzi guessed, and all sank to the bottom of the sewage without any movement.
Now, the sewage is starting to move again.
Everyone who was gathered together looking at the map looked towards the sewage river.
The black bubble was very large, half a person's height, more than twice as large as the previous black bubble.
These black bubbles popped out of the water quickly.
It seemed like they had been lurking at the bottom of the water for a long time, just waiting for this moment. When the bubbles popped, big black fish emerged from the top. These fish opened their huge mouths, revealing their sharp teeth, jumped out of the bubbles, swung their bony tails, and leaped towards Jiang He.
Everyone had seen snakehead fish twice, but this was the first time they saw their tails.
They have two tails, but the flesh and blood on their tails seem to have been gnawed off by something, leaving only white bones.
Even their tails were exposed, which showed how high they jumped.
The entire surface of the water was densely packed with huge black bubbles. These bubbles were crowded together, and a huge black fish jumped out of each one.
If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably be scared to tremble all over.
The black fish bared its teeth and tried hard to bite Jiang He, but 4825 threw Jiang He very high for its own crystal core.
The black fish's big heads couldn't reach Jiang He. Their dark eyes were filled with disappointment and anger as they stared at Jiang He sinisterly. More small fish came out of their big mouths and continued to pounce on Jiang He with their teeth bared.
Everyone was surprised to find that when the small fish came out of the black fish's big mouth, one of their bony tails was missing. The small fish jumped out of the big fish's mouth very high, revealing their bony tails.
A black fish with two tails, one of which is the small fish in its mouth?!
This body structure surprised everyone.
The small fish that jumped out of the black fish's mouths jumped very high, and they were also a dense pile, all rushing towards Jiang He's body.
Judging from the trend, they can all get Jiang He.
With one bite from the fish, Jiang He's body would be gnawed into a skeleton in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
I couldn't help but think that this guy's charm skills would definitely not work on these two-headed fish.
This sewage is also weird. How could such ugly and weird deformed things grow in it?
This can no longer be considered a deformed creature, it should be called a monster.
0112 is definitely going to die.
Although Jiang He's death was within everyone's expectations, and it was only a matter of time before he died, because there were so many of these two-headed black fish, everyone was relieved and horrified, but they couldn't help but wonder what ability this guy had to make so many two-headed black fish jump out.
They had always thought that there was only one dominant two-headed black fish in the sewage river, but they didn't expect so many to emerge at once.
At this moment, they were thankful again that they did not have to wade through the river.
So, why does 0112 attract so many two-headed fish?
Could it be that his body is particularly sweet to the two-headed fish?
Or maybe it just happened to catch up?
Ghost Gloves narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang He in mid-air.
The man told him that bringing 0112 would achieve twice the result with half the effort, and that man's predictive ability was almost never wrong.
Although 0112's charm ability is useless, he doesn't mind bringing an extra cannon fodder in to die.
Now this cannon fodder is about to die before even entering the range of the golden thorns. Is this also within that person's prediction?
The mouths of the two-headed fish were about to split open at the back of their heads, and their wide-open mouths rushed straight towards Jiang He's body. Jiang He, who was in mid-air, could clearly feel the pungent stench coming out of the mouths of these fish.
It was even stinkier than the sewage. They opened their mouths and sprayed foul air at her, almost suffocating her.
I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.
Jiang He swung her pitch-black hand violently, smashing the heads of the two-headed, skull-tailed strange fish that were approaching her from front to back.
There were still a few fish that had escaped the net and continued to bite her.
This time there is really no way to avoid it.
But when the sharp teeth of these strange fish were about to dig into her flesh, she felt her skin tighten and become hard, like hardened magma.
The two-headed fish probably wanted to bite Jiang He's flesh and blood fiercely, so it bit him with all its strength. Its sharp and hard teeth broke into countless pieces with a "click".
Everything happened in just a moment. Jiang He's body flew over the sewage river and landed on the opposite bank.
She couldn't stand still, and after stumbling a few steps, she fell to the ground.
After landing, he didn't rush to get up, and subconsciously reached out to touch his waist and abdomen.
Fortunately, the hardened magma that had just appeared on the waist and abdomen has disappeared.
Except for the arms which were still black and hardened, the rest of the body was still soft human skin.
The two-headed fish, whose teeth were broken, was so angry that it made a sharp "sizzling" sound.
Although the sound was not loud, there were many two-headed fish, and the entire sewage river surface was filled with dense "sizzling" sounds.
Although they couldn't understand what the fish were calling, they could tell that they were very angry, extremely angry.
Everyone stepped back a few steps and stared at the two-headed fish with a defensive look, fearing that the angry two-headed fish would climb ashore and launch an indiscriminate attack.
The two-headed fish could not stay in the air. After failing to catch their prey, they fell into a big black bubble. The "sizzling" sound of the two-headed fish came out of the black bubble. Although the sound was not loud, it was creepy to hear.
The black bubble was originally round and big, but after the two-headed fish fell in, it made strange "sizzling" sounds, and it seemed like countless two-headed fish were fighting inside, squeezing the black bubble into various shapes.
Soon, these black bubbles sank into the sewage, without even a ripple appearing, and the sewage returned to calm.
Like a black wall, quiet and thick, it cannot be broken and poses no danger.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang He with complicated eyes.
How did this guy survive the attacks of so many two-headed fish?
I’m so lucky.
4825 heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Jiang He reach the other side safely. He wiped the sweat from his face and calmed his pounding heart.
In the entire team, he was probably the only one who was genuinely worried about whether Jiang He could reach the other side safely.
He took a few steps back and made a sprint, jumping with both legs. Learning from Jiang He's lesson, he jumped very high, many meters away from the sewage river.
Because he jumped so high, he landed on the river bank. Just as he was feeling relieved, the soil under his feet suddenly loosened, and he slipped and fell into the sewage river behind him.
Liang Dao reacted very quickly. Although he was still some distance away from 4825, he rushed over quickly and grabbed 4825's hand in time.
After being dragged to the riverbank by him, 4825 was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
His feet almost touched the black sewage.
Changzi walked up to Jiang He and stared at her coldly: "Why did those two-headed fish teeth get broken on you?"
Jiang He: "My ability."
"Charm?" Changzi didn't believe it. "How could Charm make them break their teeth on you?"
Jiang He: "Guess."
After 4825 stood firm, he immediately walked up to Jiang He and extended his hand.
Jiang He placed the crystal core in his palm.
Everyone turned their heads to look over.
I never expected Jiang He to be so stupid as to casually give someone a crystal core as 200 points.
They stared at the crystal core packed by 4824, with envy and jealousy on their faces.
But immediately, they realized that they were also about to get a one-star crystal core.
They all turned their heads to look at Captain Ghost Gloves.
"Captain, have we entered the Golden Thorn's territory now?"
"No." Ghost Gloves took out the map and showed it to everyone, "We need to go through the power plant ahead and enter the industrial park."
Jiang He also leaned over and glanced at the map.
The garment factory is in the industrial park, very close to here.
Changzi crossed his arms and glanced at Jiang He with a sneer, "It seems you have a lot of crystal cores on you."
People who are stupid and have a lot of money are easily fooled.
Jiang He: "It's okay, I'm just waiting for the captain to distribute the crystal cores."
Ghost Gloves smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as everyone enters the Golden Thorn's territory, I will keep my promise and give everyone the crystal core. For me, this one-star crystal core is really nothing."
He looked extremely confident and determined. He was known as the Ghost Glove and often went to the middle level to encircle and suppress the deformed beasts. The newcomers felt that it was unlikely that he would fool them.
After all, none of them are as weak as 0112.
Time was limited, so we packed our luggage and set off.
The power plant supplies electricity to the entire industrial park, and the machines for refining Jun stone are extremely energy-consuming.
The power plant has four cooling towers alone, and six tall chimneys reaching into the sky, emitting puffs of black smoke. Perhaps because of the smoke, the ground is black and no longer the original color of the land.
After walking a few steps, Jiang He lowered his head slightly and saw a lot of black powder on his clothes.
The power plant is still running. Is this running automatically?
All the members of their group are mutants. They have been doing tasks in the mining area. Most of them have never been to the industrial park. They look at the buildings around them with a sense of novelty.
4825, who had obtained a crystal core, was in a good mood. Seeing a bunch of beautiful flowers in the greenery nearby, he reached out and picked them: "The bottom of the mine is pitch black all day long. I have forgotten the color of the flowers."
He has animal attributes, probably because he has monkey genes, so when he sees flowers he wants to pick them and put them on his head.
"Be careful." Jiang He next to him reminded. The surrounding bushes were all dark green leaves, and there was only a cluster of flowers here, which was too abrupt.
But it was too late. When 4825's hand was some distance away from the flower, he subconsciously stopped when he heard Jiang He's words. A deformed head as big as a fist quickly jumped out of the gorgeous flower.
This head looks very similar to a human head, but it has no hair on its entire head and is ugly in appearance like a tumor. There is an eye and a mouth on it. The red eyeballs in its eyes are rolling around, and the mouth suddenly opens to reveal densely packed teeth, biting 4825's hand.
The bright knife flashed and cut off the flower, but the deformed head as big as a fist was still hanging on 4824's hand, gnawing at 4825's hand.
In just a moment, it had already bitten off several of 4825's fingers and was about to continue biting his palm.
Liang Dao was about to draw his knife several times, but 4825 was waving his hands and screaming, so he said, "Don't move."
4825 was in so much pain that his hands were shaking, unable to keep still. "Help me, help me!"
Liang Dao grabbed his arm with one hand, and with the other hand, which had transformed into a machete, he chopped at the deformed head.
The deformed head rolled its eyes around, glanced at the bright knife and took another big bite.
Then, before the machete fell, it fell to the ground, dragging a piece of palm bone in its mouth, and rolled into the flowers.
4825 saw that most of his hand had been bitten off, and he broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain. Ghost Glove handed him a packet of medicine powder, "To stop the bleeding."
This medicine required a lot of points to redeem. 4825 immediately sprinkled the powder on the wound to stop the bleeding as if he had found a treasure. He then wrapped his hand with a cloth and cursed, "What's going on? How can these flowers grow heads?"
Ghost Gloves: "The power plant uses some very fast-growing and fire-resistant distorted plants to generate electricity, as well as some distorted plant extracts. These distorted plants are very low-level, with no level one distorted plants. But I heard that the power plant has been having missions to clean up distorted plants from time to time recently, so everyone should be careful."
After the incident of 4825's severed hand, everyone became very vigilant. They looked around from time to time and would stay away from bushes when they saw them.
Jiang He glanced at 4825's severed hand which was bleeding non-stop. Although it was sprinkled with medicine powder and bandaged, the bleeding did not stop.
After walking for a while, an iron wall erected in front blocked the way.
Ghost Gloves directed the Stone Old Man to move a huge stone on the ground. There was a sewer underneath, and there was an iron fence under the stone. The Stone Old Man was very strong and pushed the iron fence open.
"The plantation is full of deformed plants and is not open to the public. This is the sewage channel. Every half hour, sewage will pass through the channel. We will walk three kilometers through this plantation."
As soon as Ghost Glove finished speaking, the sound of splashing water came from the underground pipes.
He checked the time and said, "Once the sewage is drained, we can leave. There's no danger inside. We just need to climb faster and we can get through."
2671 looked at the dark sewage in the sewer and asked: "Is this sewage discharged into the river?"
This question made everyone's expression change instantly.
"All the factories in the industrial park discharge their wastewater into the Sewage River, but only the wastewater discharged by the Jun refining factory is prone to breeding mutants." Ghost Gloves said, glancing at everyone, "I won't joke with my own life."
The sewage was quickly drained. Ghost Gloves looked at the time and jumped into the sewer first, followed closely by Changzi and Old Man Shi.
When everyone saw him jump down, they no longer hesitated and jumped down one by one.
The sewer is very spacious. Except for the tall stone man who needs to bend down, everyone else can stand upright.
Jiang He was still at the back. The smell in the sewer was pungent. Inside the circular corridor, the walls were covered with thick black moss. The slippery moss made the corridor very slippery.
Although walking two kilometers in half an hour was more than enough, Ghost Glove started running fast after jumping into the tunnel.
Behind him, Changzi and Shi Laoren followed closely.
After getting used to the slippery ground, the others followed them and ran quickly.
Although they actually don't understand why they have to run so fast.
Fortunately, everyone works in mines every day and has a good tolerance for the slippery ground and the winding sewers.
Not long after running, Jiang He's ears moved, and the sound of water splashing came from the back of the sewer pipe.
Why did the sewage come from the back this time?
If all sewage has to be discharged into the sewage river, shouldn't it be a one-way sewage road?
The sound of rushing water was like a rainbow. Jiang He's face changed slightly. There was a lot of sewage, at least half of the Wushui Canal was filled.
The low sound of water seemed to be some distance away, and the winding sewers blocked the sound, so the people in front hadn't noticed it yet. They just kept running behind the three people of Ghost Gloves.
The speed of sewage is much faster than that of people. If they cannot leave the sewer in time, the distance between them will only get closer and closer. Jiang He looked up and saw that the smooth round roof was also covered with dense black moss, making it impossible to climb or avoid.
4825, who was running ahead of Jiang He, was panting, and more and more blood was flowing from his hands.
His physical strength gradually reached its limit, and he finally slowed down, complaining, "Why are we running so fast when we have plenty of time?"
No one answered him. He turned his head and looked back, then said to Jiang He, "Let's walk slowly."
The three Ghost Gloves had already left everyone behind by a considerable distance.
Jiang He took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly. When he passed 4825, he said, "You'd better hurry up."
She quickly overtook Liang Dao and 2671 in front of her. The two of them had put some distance between themselves and the three people in front. They were originally running slowly, but when they saw Jiang He sprint past them, and even 4825 behind them caught up, Liang Dao and 2671 suddenly felt a sense of crisis and immediately stepped on their accelerator to sprint.
Jiang He caught up with the Stone Man and passed him.
When she was about to overtake Changzi, the other party reached out and grabbed her arm, "Fuck, get behind me, don't overtake me!"
How can you talk like that? Who is the boss?
Jiang He didn't even turn his head, paused for a moment and slightly closed the distance, then slapped his hardened black hand on his face, giving him a big slap to wake him up.
Changzi's cheek suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if hit by a stone. The pain made his mind go blank for a moment. It seemed that the pain also spread to his brain and he couldn't think. He staggered and almost fell. "Fuck, fuck, did you use the charm skill on me?"
Otherwise, how could he not dodge her slow slap? This guy must have paralyzed him with charm.
Jiang He had already left him far behind. She was so focused on rushing forward that she didn't waste time turning back to talk to him.
While Changzi was pausing, even Old Man Shi surpassed him. Changzi got no response and became so angry that his face turned blue. He touched his swollen and painful face, gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward.
No one could run as fast as him. When he caught up with the pretty boy, he would return the blow tenfold and make him regret provoking him.
When Jiang He surpassed Ghost Gloves, the other party stared at Jiang He in surprise.
His emotions were quite stable, and he wasn't angry at all. He just asked curiously, "Why are you running so fast?"
Jiang He guessed that Ghost Glove must have known about the sewage coming from behind, otherwise he wouldn't have run so fast. Hearing this, she said without even turning back, "To surpass you."
Ghost Gloves: ...Psycho!
After running for more than a hundred meters, Jiang He saw a stone pillar protruding from the side wall.
Perhaps it is a place specially used by people who inspect sewers to stay.
There is not much space above the stone pier, and it can only accommodate three or four people squeezed together.
Jiang He stepped on the side wall and jumped up onto the stone pillar.
The Stone Old Man is very big. If he stood on the stone pier, there would be no room left. At most, one more person could squeeze in.
Ghost Gloves will definitely come up, kick her down, and pull his man Changzai up.
Sure enough, Ghost Gloves rushed over from the bend in front. When he saw that Jiang He did not continue to run forward but stood on top of the stone pier, his face changed instantly.
He pursed his lips and said nothing. When he got closer, he jumped up and jumped onto the stone pier.
Jiang He squatted slightly, and when he was about to jump up, he stretched out his thick, dark arm.
Ghost Glove thought she was going to draw a semicircle in the air to charm him, so he moved faster.
He had to kick her down when she pushed him with her other hand.
Haha, a mere charm skill is nothing compared to powerful strength, he really doesn't take it seriously.
Jiang He's pitch-black hand drew circles slowly, and when the ghost gloves jumped onto the stone pillar, he clenched his palm into a fist, changing the slow rhythm and smashing it onto the ghost gloves' shoulder with lightning speed.
As soon as Ghost Gloves' foot stepped on the stone pillar, Jiang He punched him and he flew away. He hit the wall of the sewage channel opposite and then slid down the wall.
How did the Charm skill change?
He was on guard against Jiang He's other hand pushing over, and he never expected that Jiang He would use his hand in a half circle to hit him.
Good news, the opponent's charm skill was not activated.
Bad news, his shoulder bone was aching slightly. This guy was not as weak as he looked, at least he was very strong.
Ghost Gloves slowly stood up, holding his shoulders and staring at Jiang He.
Old Man Shi and Changzi had already run over. When they saw the stone pillar occupied by Jiang He, they were a little confused for a moment.
Didn't this guy run forward? Why is he just standing there?
Changzi, whose cheek was swollen, was filled with new and old grudges. Without even saying a harsh word, he kicked his feet and jumped towards the stone pillar, sweeping one leg horizontally towards Jiang He.
Changzi's leg skills were the strongest. When he swept towards Jiang He, Jiang He felt a sharp gust of wind like a knife coming straight at her.
She didn't dodge and continued to clench her big black fist.
The Stone Old Man warned Changzi, "Be careful, her hands are petrified and very hard."
There was no need for Old Man Shi to remind him, after all, Changzi had been severely criticized.
However, after Old Man Shi explained this, Ghost Gloves and Changzi finally understood why Jiang He's hand was so black, big and powerful.
Hardening is really a speechless defense.
Seeing Jiang He's fist slowly hitting his leg, Changzi snorted coldly. At this speed, no matter how strong the hardening is, it will be useless.
The fist paused in mid-air for a moment before suddenly picking up speed and hitting his shoulder.
Ghost Gloves stared at Changzi who was knocked away, as if he saw a replica of himself.
Even the ending of sliding down the wall is the same...
He glanced at his bracelet, but there was no time.
"We have to go up." Ghost Gloves didn't intend to waste any more time. He said to Jiang He, "We have two options. One is that the four of us squeeze together on this stone pillar. The other option is that the three of us work together to pull you down."
He doesn't really want to use his abilities, probably because he is like an iron tree and his abilities have serious side effects on him.
Jiang He glanced at them and said, "I choose the third option."
When Liang Dao and the other two came around the corner, they immediately saw the stone old man lying in a big letter shape on the stone pier.
The stone old man's flat body almost fills the entire stone pier, with his hands and legs hanging horizontally outside the stone pier like an unfolded clothes rack.
He had Changzai and Gui Gloves riding on his ankles respectively. Jiang He sat on the Stone Old Man's chest, with his big black fist placed on the Stone Old Man's heart.
Jiang He: "If you don't shake your legs and throw them down when they move, I will smash your heart into slag. You must believe in the indestructible power of our petrified world."
Old Man Shi glared at her: In our petrified world, our defensive capabilities are stronger than our destructive capabilities!
But he didn't dare say this out loud, for he was afraid that this idiot would shoot a bullet in his heart to verify it.
Although I couldn't understand the postures of these four people, I heard the screams of "Ahhhh" when they rushed over with a knife.
"Water, water, water, the sewage is coming from behind, run quickly!"
Jiang He: "Why are you running? Jump up."
The stone old man's hands are also raised forward. Two people can ride on his hands, and one person can lie on his body.
Liang Dao finally reacted and immediately turned around to grab 2671 behind him, throwing him hard and smashing him against the stone pillar.
The stone pier is a bit high, and the body of the stone old man is lying on it, which makes the stone pier higher.
Fortunately, Jiang He reached out in time, grabbed 2671's arm, and threw him onto the arm that the old man Shi held horizontally in front of him.
She said to 2671, "Ride on the Stone Old Man's arm."
Stone Man: ...I never knew he could have so many human-shaped pendants on his body.
He angrily questioned Jiang He: "What do you think of me?"
Jiang He said without even turning his head: "Ba Ba."
The furious old man suddenly felt as if he had been poured with a basin of warm water at the right temperature, and his temper was inexplicably soothed. Even his tone was not as harsh as before, "I have no children."
The deformity of the Stone Man was detected on the day of his physical examination before his marriage. When he learned that he would turn into stone in the future, his fiancée aborted the baby and broke up with him peacefully.
He never got married again after that, and naturally he never had children.
Jiang He didn't respond. The sewage had already turned the corner and was rumbling towards him, as if a landslide was coming at him at a powerful speed.
After throwing 2671, Liang Dao did not stop, but immediately took a running leap and jumped towards the opposite wall, trying to use the force to jump onto the stone pier.
Behind him, 4825 was screaming, "Me, I still have me, save me!"
4825 has a very strong jumping ability. While shouting, he jumped up and grabbed the stone old man's arm.
One of his palms was bitten off in half, and he couldn't move with just one hand, so he sat on the stone old man's arm.
Liang Dao’s knife skills were good, but his jumping ability was not strong. He couldn’t even catch the hand that Jiang He extended to him.
The dark sewage was so close that one could vaguely see many deformed heads floating in it. These were the same deformed heads that had bitten off 4825's palm.
Liang Dao glanced at the dirty water, his face pale with fear, and he jumped again. Jiang He leaned over and grabbed his hand. He climbed up along Jiang He's hand.
According to the height of the sewage, it is almost level with the stone pier when it rushes over.
The 4825 hanging in the air will be washed away.
"Help me!" 4825's voice sounded like he was about to cry, and he looked at 2671, who was closest to him, for help.
2671 reached out to grab his other arm that was unable to climb, trying to pull him up.
In order to pull the person, he bent down slightly.
4825 stared at him closely, shouting, "Almost there, almost there, push harder, and I'll make it up."
Before he could finish his words, his seemingly powerless legs suddenly bent, shook, and kicked, pushing 2671 off the stone old man's arms. His feet hooked onto 4825's arms that were in the air after falling, and he turned over and lay on the stone old man's arms, like a grilled fish skewered on two chopsticks.
Old Man Shi sneered, "You kid."
This kind of thing happens a lot in training camps, and everyone is used to it.
The next moment, a torrent of sewage surged in, sweeping the falling 2671 into the dark sewage.
With a flash of the big knife, the bright knife handle 4825, which was already lying on the stone old man, cut it in half.
4825's joy lasted only three seconds before it split into two and fell into the sewage. The deformed head of the carnivorous plant smelled the blood and rolled its eyes excitedly. It all rushed towards 4825's body, which was cut in two and kept spewing blood, in the sewage.
"Save me! I have a crystal core." 4825, whose upper body was struggling, looked at Jiang He and said, "Save me!"
His body floated on the surface of the sewage, so close to the stone pier that one could reach out and touch his outstretched hand.
Jiang He didn't reach out, and soon 4825 stopped making any sound, because a deformed head of a carnivorous plant jumped into his mouth, biting off his tongue and teeth with a snap. His mouth was full of blood, and his eyes were wide open in unwillingness. Two more deformed heads squeezed over and gnawed at his eyes.
Liang Dao stared at the rushing sewage without blinking, trying to find any trace of 2671. He then asked Ghost Gloves coldly, "Why is there sewage in less than half an hour?"
The sewage gradually became calmer and not as turbulent as before.
Ghost Gloves did not answer Liang Dao's words. His eyes were fixed on the heads of the carnivorous plants gnawing at 4825 in the sewage, and his expression seemed as if he was trying to restrain his excitement and excitement.
The deformed heads of the carnivorous plants all gathered around the corpse of 4825. With the sound of their chewing, the deformed heads grew bigger and bigger. They were no longer satisfied with just eating 4825, and started to bite each other.
Changzi replied, "How could we know about such an unexpected event? I still want to know what happened."
Jiang He didn't pay attention to what these people said. After the sewage briefly reached the same level as the stone pier, the water level began to slowly drop. At the end of the sewage, she heard a familiar voice. There was actually someone she knew here.
At the same time, Ghost Gloves also turned his head vigilantly to look in the direction of the sewage flow.
Someone is coming, no matter who it is, don’t even think about competing with him!
