Chapter 69 He is no longer human
The prisoners' lives in the training camp were tiring and boring. Every day was a matter of life and death, and their nerves were always in a highly tense state.
The arrival of new people every Sunday makes everyone excited, like a sow entering a village of bachelors, and everyone is excited and their eyes are shining.
On this day, some prisoners wanted to take advantage of the newcomers, but more prisoners wanted to listen to the newcomers talk about what was happening outside.
Gray Rat is the latter type of person. Every time a new prisoner comes, he will find an opportunity to chat with each prisoner.
"Another female robot has arrived this time," Gray Mouse whispered to Jiang He. "I saw her when she first arrived. She was quite impressive. The Robot Organization immediately recruited her. There's been no word about this female robot in the training camp yet."
Jiang He nodded: "Are you familiar with everyone in the training camp?"
"I know almost everyone." Gray Mouse said confidently, "I have a photographic memory. I never forget people or things."
Especially when remembering the gossip, you can match it up at any time.
Jiang He: "Warden, how much do you know?"
The confidence disappeared from the gray mouse's face. He looked around vigilantly and was relieved to see that no one in the car was paying attention to them.
"Brother, this question is beyond the scope."
Jiang He: "We're all in the training camp. If there's anything beyond the syllabus, just tell us whether you know it or not."
The gray mouse touched his bulging belly. Every time he burped, the delicious smell of meat wafted out of his mouth, making him extremely satisfied. After a brief struggle, he finally succumbed to the temptation of the food from "Meat Brother".
He leaned closer to Jiang He and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you want to know?"
"She and Qin Han."
The gray mouse breathed a sigh of relief.
"A mutually beneficial trading relationship," he whispered. "Qin has a very special and niche ability, unknown to most people."
Jiang He raised his eyelids and stared at him.
"He can weave beautiful dreams for people and help them have a good night's sleep."
Jiang He, "His ability is dream weaving?"
"No." Gray Mouse shook his head. "Qin Han has ice-attributed abilities. Don't be fooled by his ethereal appearance. He's actually quite aggressive. Dreamweaving is just one of his special abilities."
Most people's abilities are related to their attributes, but some people have some strange abilities besides their normal abilities, like buying a pot and getting a toilet brush for free, which is totally unrelated and unexpected.
Qin Han's "bonus" special ability is too mediocre, and he has a powerful offensive ability, so he doesn't need such a useless auxiliary at all.
Almost no one knows that in addition to his "main job" ability, he also has a "small part-time job".
Jiang He asked him, "How did you know?"
"My former roommate, the old man, is old now and has been organizing books in the library at the training camp."
Jiang He was surprised: "There's a library in the training camp?"
This focus is also the real reaction of most training camp prisoners.
After all, everyone goes to the dormitory, cafeteria and square to receive tasks.
"There's not only a library, but also a billiard room, but only the guards go there, so it's usually just gathering dust." Gray Rat said, "My roommate got paper and pen from the library to record the people and events in the training camp. Qin and he went to the training camp at the same time. The warden at the time was a sleazy old man who took a liking to Qin. Qin made the old man dream, and he did something in the dream, and the old man died of exhaustion in the dream later. During that time, a new warden was replaced, but he died in the line of duty before his term was over."
"Died in the line of duty?"
"It's said that Captain Xiao was sleepwalking and beat him to death," Gray Mouse said. "That's what my roommate wrote in his notebook, but I'm not sure exactly what happened. The training camp was pretty chaotic back then."
The three words "Captain Xiao" diverted Jiang He's attention again. "Captain Xiao had already entered the training camp during that period?"
"Captain Xiao was there when my roommate came. He was Captain Xiao then. He was just like he is now, not in charge of anything and was an invisible man. But my roommate speculated that the deaths of the first two wardens had something to do with Qin Han and Captain Xiao."
Jiang He: "What is Captain Xiao? An alien, a robot, or a deformed person?"
Gray Mouse shook his head. "He rarely shows up at the training camp. Everyone just knows he has a dual personality and is moody."
"Oh, where did the warden catch that deformed beast?" Jiang He asked him, "You should have seen it before, a three-headed wolf."
The three wolves appeared in the square last time, and everyone except the newcomers had seen them.
The gray mouse nodded, "Yeah."
Jiang He noticed that his expression became nervous in an instant.
He also knows a secret that most people don't know. This secret concerns the warden and the three-headed wolf.
Even more terrifying than the secret between Qin Han and the warden.
He didn't dare say it.
Jiang He pretended not to notice and continued as if nothing had happened: "The three-headed wolf has now become two heads."
The gray rat turned its head and stared at Jiang He in shock.
His expression is too exaggerated, his eyes are very round, and his mouth is very round.
Jiang He could even hear his heart beating wildly at this moment.
It almost looks like it's going to burst out of my chest.
This kid has seen so many melons, yet he is still so uncalm.
She hasn't even told you about the wardrobe gossip yet, it's even more explosive than this.
The gray mouse took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "A head is missing? How, how is it missing?"
"Yes." Jiang He stared at his fist: "It was blown up by one punch."
Gray Rat's gaze shifted from her face to her fist, and he suddenly felt unwell. "Brother, you, don't say you were the one who broke it?"
Jiang He: "I didn't say that."
The gray mouse's lips trembled, his throat rolled, and he swallowed the sound back into his stomach. He didn't dare to ask, he really didn't dare to ask.
Although he is a badger in a melon field, he is still quite self-aware. When the melon is too big to swallow in one bite, he will give up to avoid choking to death.
Jiang He: "Brown Bear went down to the mine alone?"
"Yeah." The gray rat nodded, his frown showing that he was full of worries. Noticing that Jiang He's expression and tone were extremely calm, he sighed in his heart. This guy must not know what it meant for the three-headed wolf to be missing a head.
Seeing that Jiang He was still waiting for his response, Gray Rat could only continue, "Brown Bear's men have all dispersed. They are loyal to the Alien Organization, not Brown Bear. Brown Bear is wanted by Qin Han, so they will definitely not side with Brown Bear anymore."
Jiang He nodded, "That's right."
"Besides, the mines are not suitable for strangers to enter." Speaking of Brown Bear, Gray Rat was quite impressed. "Brown Bear is indeed skilled and brave, but it is almost impossible for him to leave the mines alive this time. Let's see who can chop off his head and get the reward."
"Me." Jiang He said affirmatively, "No one can chop off his head except me."
Gray Mouse thought Jiang He was joking, but when he turned around, he was shocked to see that he looked so serious. He was definitely not joking.
"Um, brother, you are not joking, right?"
"no."
Gray Mouse hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Um, did you also blow up the three-headed wolf's head?"
"right."
After receiving the expected answer, Gray Mouse not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more restless, with a thick cloud of worry covering his face. "Brother, um, don't brag."
Jiang He: "Oh, then just treat it as my boasting."
Gray Squirrel: ...
He might think others were just bragging, but the guy in front of him could give him a plate of meat worth at least 5,000 points when they first met.
With this kind of courage and aura, the gray rat cannot compare the other party with the behavior of "bragging".
"Brother, the warden probably doesn't like you. When you return to the training camp, you can find someone to connect you with Captain Xiao and ask him to protect you."
Although this possibility is small, it is the only way Gray Squirrel can think of to crack the problem.
"The warden doesn't like me?" Jiang He thought about it and nodded in agreement: "It's a bit regrettable. Actually, I like her very much."
Gray Mouse: ...If you liked it, you wouldn't have blown my beloved pet's head off. I would definitely want to dig you up and tear you into pieces.
The shuttle bus entered the mining area. Jiang He looked around and found that it was Well No. 1.
Well No. 1 collapsed before, but now it is no different from before the collapse.
I have to say that although the training camp does not have high-tech assistance, the infrastructure construction speed is really fast.
As long as the points are in place, the prisoners will rush to devote themselves.
Jiang He punched in after getting off the bus, but was not in a hurry to go down to the mine.
Gray Rat was a little anxious and urged several times that if he went down the mine earlier, he could find a better location to dig. If he wasted time, it would be difficult to complete the day's task.
Jiang He looked into the distance and said, "Don't be impatient, wait a little longer."
What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, what if the warden comes and kills you?
Gray Rat was ready to run away at any time. He followed Jiang He's gaze and saw a jaw-dropping scene: a shadowy hand was flowing along the ground towards them.
There is a tumor on the back of Shadow Hand's hand?
There is a green hair on the top of the tumor-ridden head?
What the hell?
Gray Mouse took another uncertain look. "It looks a bit like a ghost glove, a smaller version of the shadow hand? What are those bumps on it? They're so ugly, like tumors. And why is there an eye there? Look, brother, is it staring at me?"
Not only did the Piranha Plant dare to stare at him, it also jumped down from the back of Shadow Hand's hand and leaped into his face in the air.
The gray mouse was so frightened that it fell to the ground.
Jiang He reached out and grabbed the Piranha Plant in time, fed it the first-level crystal he had snatched from his roommate, and closed its big mouth that was trying to bite the gray mouse's neck.
The Piranha's eyes lit up, and it chewed the crystal core and rubbed it against her neck, whimpering in its mouth.
Jianghe language converter accurately translated the words of the Piranha Plant.
Piranha Plant: "My good daughter is getting uglier and uglier. It's all my fault for not planting her properly. I'm an unqualified mother."
Jiang He: ???
Is there something wrong with this language converter?
Piranha Plant: "Wow, I still have to find a good feng shui place to raise my good girl again. Maybe it can improve her current ugly appearance."
Jiang He: ...
The shadow hand had also crawled over. Although it was daytime, the shadow hand was very faint, as if it had been blurred and would disappear at any time. It became much smaller, about the same size as a normal hand, and poked Jiang He's shoe with its fingers to say hello.
Jiang He squatted down and held it in the palm of his hand, feeling its lifeless breath of death.
"Xiao A, is there any way to restore Shadow Hand's vitality?"
"My Queen, although the shadow hand has developed self-awareness, it cannot sustain itself and will soon dissipate."
People will starve to death if they don’t eat or drink, and plants will wither if they don’t have nutrients.
As long as everything is alive, it needs "nutrition".
The shadow hand cannot absorb "nutrition" for itself and will wither and die sooner or later.
[The simplest way is to take it as a pet, like a golden thorn tree, and let it live in your spiritual sea.]
Jiang He asked without thinking: "Is there any other way?"
Shadow Hand is a very unique existence. It tried its best to get rid of the ghost gloves and has its own independent consciousness. Jiang He feels that its needs are different from A Jing's. A Jing wants to see the world beyond the darkness, and Shadow Hand wants independent consciousness. It will definitely not choose to be her pet, and she also hopes that it can be independent.
【have】
After responding, Xiao A fell into a brief silence.
Jiang He did not urge him. After waiting for a while, Little A spoke again.
[Dripping the Queen's flesh and blood onto it can temporarily prevent it from dissipating. However, to maintain it for a long time, it must transform.]
"Transform?" Jiang He followed the gray rat towards the hanging basket of Well No. 1. She gently stroked the shadow hand in her palm and communicated with Little A in her mind, "Aberrations need to reach level eight to transform. Shadow Hand is less than level three now, so it will be difficult for it to upgrade."
Without the ability to absorb "nutrition", there is almost no room for upgrading.
Before going down to the mine, Jiang He bit his finger and dripped two drops of blood on the shadow hand. The shadow hand was indeed much more solid than before.
From vague gray to black.
She wanted to continue dripping, but Little A reminded her: [It can't handle that much, two drops are enough]
Jiang He quickly withdrew his hand. The shadow hand also noticed its condition and gently rubbed Jiang He's fingers that were bleeding.
Jiang He's healing ability is strong, and the wound healed quickly.
Little A continued: [Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible to upgrade, but Her Majesty the Queen can take it through a side door.]
Jiang He: "A side door?"
Gray Mouse tugged at Jiang He's clothes and said, "Brother, get off the hanging basket. I'll help you get the basket up."
Gray Mouse hoped that Jiang He could be his long-term meal ticket. He was not only enthusiastic in his flattery, but also in his work. He carried two large baskets and walked in front to lead the way. "Brother, follow me. Don't get lost in so many people."
This is the peak time for everyone to go down to the mine. There are a lot of people coming down from the platform, and they are all walking towards the mine in a dense crowd.
Either a deformed person or a robot.
Each one is ugly in a unique way.
Jiang He, who has beautiful features, is an exception. Many people stare at her when they pass by.
“How many points per time?”
Some of the brave ones came over and chatted with Jiang He, relying on their powerful figures.
Jiang He reached out and punched the man in the face, knocking him to the ground.
The other person crawled on the ground for a long time but couldn't get up, and was stepped on again and again by the people behind him.
Jiang He didn't expect that one punch from him could send the opponent flying three meters away with blood all over his face. Did his strength seem to have increased?
Although she was surprised in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She shook off the blood on her fist with a cold and expressionless face.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey is very effective. Other guys who want to come forward all wait and see and retreat.
Gray Mouse: ...Could it be this fist that smashed the three wolves' heads?
After a brief silence, the noise returned.
Jiang He slowed down and listened.
Most of the discussion was about brown bears.
“Where is Brown Bear today?”
"I don't know. This guy is quite capable of surviving."
"Several teams went to the middle level today. I heard that the star grass that Brown Bear is looking for is in the lower middle level."
"Those who went to kill the brown bear yesterday said that the bear was seriously injured."
"Who among you is going to pick up the leaks? Let's form a team together."
"I'm not interested in picking up a bargain. I want to watch the fun. The betting on whether the brown bear's head will be taken by the deformed man or the robot is getting more and more exaggerated."
"Brother." Gray Mouse asked Jiang He, "Shall we find a hole here and dig in?"
The gray rat really came here to dig for Jun, and he was determined to find a cave with a good geographical location and plenty of Jun to occupy a good position, dig well and complete the task early.
But Jiang He was not like that. She glanced around. They were in the shallow level and there were quite a lot of prisoners around, making a lot of noise and shouting.
Noticing that Jiang He was listening to the gossip around him, Gray Rat whispered, "Everyone's been talking about Brown Bear lately. There's a daily update on Brown Bear's latest progress, but if you want more detailed information, you have to pay a little."
As he was talking, a robot came up to Gray Mouse and asked, "Gray Mouse, are there any signs of brown bears today?"
"Yes, thirty points, or a piece of chewing gum." Gray Mouse immediately became serious and negotiated the price with the other party.
"Cheaper, half a piece of gum."
"My price is already the cheapest. Everyone who has dealt with me knows that I don't ask for exorbitant prices. If you really don't have it, you can exchange it for information, but I have to think it's worth it."
The robot hesitated for a moment, discussed with his companions, and then whispered to the gray mouse, "I actually have some news."
"Oh." Gray Mouse pointed to a small corner in front and called Jiang He to go over there.
Seeing the robot staring at Jiang He with some repulsion, Gray Mouse said, "Don't worry, I know the rules."
After reaching the corner, Gray Rat clasped his hands together, and a transparent barrier appeared around the three of them. Gray Rat said to the robot, "You can speak. Others can't hear us."
The surroundings were still noisy. They could hear the conversations outside, but the outside world could not hear their conversations.
The robot whispered cautiously, "Iron Fist Tyrant went down to the mine today. The robot is secretly organizing people to capture Iron Fist Tyrant alive."
The gray mouse was curious: "Why do you want to capture them alive?"
"According to inside information from a friend of mine, Iron Fist Tyrant has mastered some robot component technology and is considered a mechanical master."
"The Deformed Organization also wants to capture Iron Fist Boss alive." The robot added: "Now both groups are racing to take down Iron Fist Boss first."
Gray Mouse: "Do you know what Iron Fist Tyrant looks like?"
The robot nodded. "Iron Fist Tyrant's right arm is thick and black, the same color as Jun. It is said to be petrified. His right leg is a mechanical leg that can be removed at any time. However, some people say that his skin is red. Although he has the attribute of stone, he has the charm skill. He is good-looking and can even charm deformed creatures."
Gray Mouse: "Fuck, now that you mention it, I can't imagine what he's like."
The robot said: "This information is true, not just rumors. If you encounter him, be careful. His charm skills are very powerful. Even the wanted guy from the Inhuman Organization has been affected by him."
The only one wanted by the Inhuman Organization now is Brown Bear.
Even brown bears can be affected. It seems that Iron Fist Boss’s charm skill is very powerful.
Gray Mouse exchanged information purely to satisfy his gossipy nature. He asked a few more questions and, satisfied with the information he received, he told him where Brown Bear was today. "The Brown Bear is in the middle and lower layers of the magma area, very close to the inner layer. He's been wandering around there, as if looking for a way to get there."
"Fuck!" the robot cursed. "Why is this guy courting death?"
Gray Mouse: "You'd better not tell anyone the news I'm telling you, otherwise you'll get mouth sores and won't be able to speak for half a month."
"I understand, I understand." The robot nodded.
Gray Rat removed the transparent cover, and a few more people came to buy information.
Most of these people have no points or money to exchange, so they can only exchange information for information.
"Something happened upstairs last night. There was a loud bang, as if someone had smashed through the ceiling."
Gray Mouse rolled his eyes when he heard this, "What's the big deal?"
The other party whispered, "My dormitory is on the seventh floor."
The seventh floor is the highest floor, and above the top floor is the roof. How could there be such a loud noise?
Gray Mouse rolled his eyes. "With just a small noise, you're exchanging information with me? That's not okay."
"There's at least one floor above the seventh." The other person looked at Gray Rat. "The prison guards are active upstairs. The loud noise in the middle of the night last night must be related to those federal agents."
"My roommate was taken away for questioning after returning from the Pioneer Secret Realm. I was on duty that day and found his body in the trash can. His internal organs were shattered into pieces, and even the mechanical components on his body were broken."
He stared at the gray rat. "Those federal personnel and researchers might live above the seventh floor."
The gray mouse was very interested in every piece of gossip. Although he thought it was nonsense, he still accepted the news.
He saw Jiang He standing aside like a wooden man the whole time. These huge melons were like drizzle in her eyes. She looked a little disrespectful to the melons.
Gray Mouse thought of what she said about "three wolves' heads being smashed", and suddenly felt that it seemed normal for her to disrespect these melons?!
"Brother, we'll reach the middle level if we go any further. Do we still want to go further?"
Jiang He nodded: "Well, continue."
Gray Mouse: "Brother, it's easy to encounter aberrations in the middle layer."
Jiang He: "Oh."
Gray Mouse: ...He is as timid as a mouse and never goes to dangerous places. Is it too late for him to retreat now?
A robot came towards them, and the gray mouse said to him, "You are late. I won't sell you any news today."
The robot turned its eyeballs, and the artificial eye emitting a faint light looked at Jiang He.
Jiang He: "What's the matter?"
"The boss said that if you go find him now, he will give you a chance to make amends."
"Oh." Jiang He's expression remained unchanged.
But the gray rat said angrily: "Who are you, the boss? Why are you talking so arrogantly?"
In addition to the three major organizations, there are many small organizations, and the leaders of these small organizations also call themselves bosses.
The robot didn't look at the rat. He continued to stare at Jiang He. "I'm Hook from the Robot Organization. My boss is Silver Wing, Iron Fist Tyrant. Are you going with me to see the boss now?"
Gray Squirrel: ???
He turned around in shock and saw that Jiang He's face was calm, with no emotion showing at all. He was truly calm.
No, could this guy be Iron Fist Tyrant?
Didn't they say that Iron Fist Tyrant has a black hardened arm?
All red?
A mechanical leg? Oh, this guy has a mechanical leg, but he lost it in the ruins.
And powerful charm skills?
Gray Rat looked Jiang He up and down, and didn't see anything charming about him, but he did see an aura that made him look tough.
Jiang He: "No."
Gray Squirrel: Look, this is the aura.
Jiang He: "Get lost!"
Gray Squirrel: ...
Brother, good brother, can you please refuse in a more tactful way? Be a little more polite. The other party is Hook. All of Silver Wing's confidants carry eagles, and Hook is the number one among Silver Wing's confidants.
Gray Rat saw that Jiang He had no reaction after introducing himself, and suspected that this guy had no idea what the name Eagle Hook meant.
He retreated silently, and again, continuing to distance himself from the two men, as if to say, "I don't know you well, don't involve me."
But no one present paid any attention to his little gesture.
Eagle Hook stared at Jiang He and suddenly asked, "Were you responsible for the deaths of Eagle Claw and Zhang Jiu?"
Without waiting for Jiang He's response, he added, "I'm only asking on my own behalf."
The organization has not yet connected this matter with Iron Fist Tyrant, but Hook has a keen sixth sense about people. The first time he saw Jiang He, he felt that she was closely related to Eagle Claw's death.
He wasn't on good terms with Eagle Claw and Zhang Jiu; they were competitors, so their deaths would be beneficial to him. His question wasn't meant to be inquisitive, but simply a casual question out of curiosity, without even expecting a response from Iron Fist Tyrant.
After all, this happened so long ago, and if the other party really did it, it would be impossible to respond without any evidence.
Jiang He: "I did it."
The gray rat next to him: ...
Brother, could you please stop talking about shocking melons in such a nonchalant tone? Some melons are meant to rot in the melon field!
Hook stared at Iron Fist Tyrant, he didn't expect that the other party would admit it so straightforwardly.
He didn't really ask any further questions, but instead asked, "Did you kill all the members of Brother Huo's team?"
Jiang He nodded: "Yes."
Gray Squirrel: ...It was naive of me to call you brother. I should call you Ba.
The parties involved were very calm, except for the bystander Gray Squirrel, who occasionally showed shock at being so full of melon.
Hook: "Brother Huo and his team can combine to create an invincible killing weapon. How did you crack it?"
Jiang He: "You ask too many questions and are wasting my time."
This was really impolite. As a well-known figure on the training camp rankings, Eagle Hook did not get angry but laughed instead.
"Come to the mine to look for Brown Bear, I can tell you some news about him." The eagle hook's mechanical arm suddenly changed its form and swung towards Jiang He, "As long as you can beat me."
Jiang He turned sideways, and the mechanical arm hit the wall behind her. The soil on the wall collapsed with a "boom" and fell to the ground, scaring the gray rat so much that it retreated again and kept a distance.
The other mechanical arm of Eagle Hook transformed into a long sword and cut towards Jiang He in the waist.
The knife was so fast, like lightning across the night sky.
Damn, what a sharp knife! The gray rat's eyes widened, and his heart seemed to jump to his throat in an instant, and he couldn't even breathe in fear.
There was only one thought left in my mind: I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat meat in the future.
The long knife seemed very fast in the eyes of the gray rat, but in Jiang He's eyes, she could clearly see every inch of the long knife's movement as it cut towards her.
It’s too slow. The speed is too slow and the gap between it and Brother Huo’s strength is too big.
But, there is another possibility. The other party is similar to Brother Huo, but she is stronger than before.
She reached out, two fingers extended, and gripped the blade.
In the eyes of the gray rat, Jiang He's action of reaching out his hand was undoubtedly courting death.
But the next moment, Jiang He exerted force with his fingers, and the blade of the eagle hook cracked instantly. He reacted quickly, endured the severe pain and immediately retracted the long sword.
Jiang He loosened his fingers.
Facing Hawkhoo's shock, she remained calm and said disapprovingly, "It's too slow."
This ability to attract hatred and cause trouble for oneself...
The gray mouse really believed that the other party could blow the three wolves' heads apart with one punch.
After a brief moment of frustration, Hook immediately calmed down and said, "Yes, I can't beat you."
He glanced at the gray mouse next to him.
The gray mouse was very tactful and immediately released the soundproofing shield on Jiang He and Ying Gou.
He was very self-aware. He knew that some of the melons were no different from death, so he didn't cover himself in a soundproof enclosure.
"Brown Bear is no longer human." The eagle-hook prosthetic eye stared at Jiang He dimly and said, "He still has a chance of survival at the bottom of the mine. He will die if he gets out."
