Chapter 77 She Killed the Warden
The brown bear's trunk was being torn apart madly by countless deformed beasts.
His branches whipped the deformed beast in resistance. He tried to stretch out his long branches to protect Jiang He, but before he could cover her, the branches were bitten and torn into pieces by the deformed beast.
With every snap of a branch, Jiang He seemed to be able to hear the brown bear's muffled groan.
Even without looking back, she knew that the brown bear was in pain at the moment. He was like a huge giant being swallowed by thousands of ants.
"In his current half-human form, he's a delicacy in the eyes of the Deformed Beasts." The Warden and Jiang He sighed in admiration, separated by countless Deformed Beasts. "The experiment was actually half successful, otherwise he wouldn't be considered a delicious snack by the Deformed Beasts."
She looked at Jiang He proudly, "I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if your experiment will be successful."
Jiang He looked past the countless deformed beasts and stared at the warden.
When she woke up in the car on the way to the training camp, she had no memory and didn't know where she came from or where she was going.
But with the obsession to survive in her heart, she fought with the deformed beasts and the prisoners. Along the way, she thought that she was full of evil and unforgivable crimes, and it was good enough to be alive. But now, she doesn't think so.
Yao Leng’s words came to mind.
"Let's overturn the training camp together."
This sound became clearer and more melodious amid the roars of countless deformed beasts.
Then, let's kick off the training camp together!
Jiang He's fingertips were ready to move, and the next moment, all the tentacles moved out.
Ever since she entered the Pioneer ruins, her tentacles had been peeled off and had no response. Even when she returned to the training camp, she no longer felt the presence of the tentacles.
But at this moment, the boiling anger in her chest surged like magma that had been suppressed for a long time, and her tentacles shot out in an instant like erupting magma, strangling the deformed beast that was about to bite her flesh.
She drove the huge tentacles in her palms towards the retreating warden.
The tentacles passed through countless deformed beasts, wrapped around the warden's neck, and rolled him to Jiang He's feet under the warden's incredulous gaze.
The tentacles were not long or thick at first, but as they frantically devoured and sucked the deformed beasts around them, they became thicker and longer.
Jiang He heard them chirping and shouting, "Hungry, hungry, eat, eat, eat..."
She rushed to the brown bear tree, and her tentacles and branches worked together to pierce the heads of the deformed beasts and devour their crystal cores.
The body is always in a swollen state, and the consciousness is very excited, as if it has been released after being imprisoned for ten thousand years, and it is hungry, thirsty and hyperactive.
Her eyes were fixed on the densely packed swarms of deformed beasts.
Even though countless deformed beasts died, the remaining deformed beasts did not retreat even a single step. They stared at Jiang He, and a voice in their minds urged them over and over again: Eat her, and you can transform into a human by eating her.
The sound was like a spell, making them forget their fear and unable to think independently, and they just wanted to eat her at all costs.
The tentacles did not give the mutant beasts such an opportunity. They protected Jiang He tightly, and their tentacles could accurately penetrate the mutant beasts' brains every time and devour their crystal cores.
The sticky smell of blood filled the tip of the nose, and the corpses of deformed people piled up like a mountain in front of the eyes.
The tentacles grew thicker and longer, and Jiang He's consciousness followed them to the end of the abyss.
At the end, a curtain of light shone through the starry sky, a vast expanse of twinkling stars. Fireflies covered the grassy plains as far as the eye could see. The fireflies that had previously flown onto the brown bear's leaves might have come from here.
Just as one of the tentacle was about to touch the nearest firefly, the next moment, the tentacle quickly retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
The tentacles are part of Jiang He's body, and this electric shock-like pain also affects Jiang He's body.
But Jiang He didn't react much. She seemed to be drunk, her body was floating, a little refreshed, and a little sleepy.
So after the tentacle was electrocuted, she fell to the ground and fell asleep.
"Xiao He, Xiao He..."
Faintly, someone was talking to her.
"Xiao He, don't cry, I volunteered."
"Xiao He, Xiao He, you have to work harder."
"Xiao He, you can do it."
…
It seemed as if countless voices were talking to her incessantly.
Tenderness, expectation, intimacy, guilt...
She immersed herself in these complex sounds.
Suddenly, a "ding" sound was heard.
[My Queen, the Abyss has been successfully unlocked. Do you want to enter the Abyss forum?]
The cold mechanical voice of Xiao A woke Jiang He from her dazed state. The four words "the abyss of evil" were not unfamiliar to her at all. She immediately responded in her mind: Yes.
[Due to energy constraints, the forum will be open three times a day, with a total duration of no more than ten minutes. This is the first time it's open, so Your Majesty, you have an additional three minutes of novice guidance time.]
After the garbled characters on the transparent light screen were quickly refreshed, it turned into a registration page.
Jiang He thought for a moment and filled in the nickname box: Alien
The interface pops up "This nickname has been registered. After searching, it will automatically fill in the Alien Queen for you. Please click to confirm or fill in the name again."
Jiang He didn't want to waste time and clicked "Confirm".
Logging in...
These three words were stuck for a long time, and when Jiang He became impatient, the screen suddenly went black.
The four blood-red characters "The Evil Abyss" slowly appeared on the dark screen.
This time Jiang He didn't have to wait too long. The interface quickly switched and he entered the forum.
The forum was filled with posts. The first few posts had red fire logos and were followed by many posts. Jiang He looked at the posting dates, and they were all posted today, so it wasn't too long ago.
There was a countdown in the upper left corner. The login just now took some time. She had limited time to browse the forum, so without hesitation, she clicked on the first popular post.
【Blind guess what is at the bottom of the abyss】
Why isn't there a live camera below the Abyss? Didn't the Abyss claim to be broadcasting a comprehensive live broadcast of Planet A62? Why can't we switch the camera to the Abyss?!
[Evil capitalist, I want to see the bottom of the abyss. I want to know how Baba is doing now and whether you have found Xiongxiong.]
Is my camera the only one focused on that consumptive guy's face? Wow, the way he looks into the abyss with his head slightly lowered looks like he's gazing at his lover. How come I didn't realize there was such a handsome guy in the training camp before?
[The above person probably doesn't pay attention to other characters usually. I often switch to the perspective of other prisoners. I have seen the consumptive ghost many times, but it was only this time that I found him so handsome. He is even more handsome than Captain Xiao.]
[I don’t care about how people look, I only care about Baba, and whether Baba will be okay in the abyss.]
[In the past, no prisoner who went to the abyss climbed out alive; they all died down there.]
[I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep at all, I just want to know what’s going on with Baba now]
Even the warden has gone to the abyss, maybe Baba won't die.
[Don't be so naive above, the warden is a ruthless woman. If she gets the chance, she will definitely finish off Tyrant and kill him.]
[I have a bold guess. The live broadcast camera couldn't switch to the Abyss because it's too dark. The camera can't capture the scene in such a dark place. I also guess that the staff of the Abyss probably didn't expect so many people to squat by the abyss tonight waiting for the camera. After all, this place rarely has prisoners coming.]
Everyone, go watch! The staff at the Abyss of Evil actually issued an announcement. They said that prisoners in the previous training camp died before reaching the abyss. Very few people made it to the abyss, and even if a few did, they died after climbing down. Few people paid attention to the abyss perspective. In the future, they will extend the live broadcast equipment into the abyss.
「Ahhh, I don’t want to wait until later. I want to know right now what happened to the Overlord in the abyss.」
…
Jiang He glanced through it quickly and didn't see that this post had the information she needed, so she closed it and opened a second one.
Seeing everyone talking about the abyss, I'd like to take advantage of the buzz and dig up which prisoners in the training camps over the years have walked to the abyss.
[First is Qin Han. This guy ran to the abyss alone and fought a fierce battle with the deformed beast that rushed out of the abyss. The video of that battle is still saved in my network disk, and no one has surpassed it so far.
The second is Silver Wing. I have to say that this guy is really an existence that cannot be surpassed by robots. It’s a pity that we rarely see shots of him now. I actually suspect that he already knows the location of the cameras in the training camp, so he has been deliberately avoiding the cameras.
Among the leaders of the three major organizations, only Xiaosha has never been to the abyss. This man is not only scheming but also cherishes his life.
…… 】
This post hadn't been updated yet, but because it was trending, many people posted comments below. Jiang He glanced at it and saw nothing important, so he quickly swiped past it and moved on to the next post.
Qiu Fei died in the lab, and Lan Hu was sent in. I have a feeling all these powerful criminals will die.
[The one above is a newbie, right? It's always like this. The best prisoners end up in the lab. I was actually looking forward to them completing their transformation in the lab, but unfortunately, no one makes it.]
The researchers in the lab believe that the brown bear is likely the first human to evolve. They wonder what his situation is like in the abyss now.
[I tried it, and I can still give him a reward, which means he is still alive]
Iron Fist Tyrant has also gone to the Abyss. The warden will not let her go. Such a rare and good material. Those people from the Federation want to kill Iron Fist Tyrant, and the warden wants to capture her alive. Tsk, who will win?
…
The word "laboratory" made Jiang He pay more attention to the post, but there was no more in-depth information about the laboratory in the post.
It was a waste of time to browse through posts one by one. She wanted to post something like everyone else to spark discussion about the laboratory, but the posting interface showed that she was a visitor and was not qualified to post.
This means that in this forum, as a visitor, she can only browse for the time being.
Jiang He glanced at the countdown and quickly opened another post.
The two new female robots are so pretty! I've been staring at them all day. They're so pretty and cool, a million times prettier than that Iron Fist Tyrant. They're all I can think about right now, I can't even think about sleeping. Climb up and ask, does anyone know them? What crime did they commit to get into the training camp?
[The prisoners who can enter the training camp are all guilty of the death penalty. Forget about the girl above. If she came to you, you probably wouldn't even be able to keep your life. You should be glad that you saw them in the training camp, not in real life.]
Although most of the prisoners sent to the training camp are heinous criminals, some are sent there for political reasons. Please don't generalize.
[The above person probably doesn't know that those guys who entered the training camp for political reasons are weaklings. Most of them can't survive more than two days. Look at the environment in the training camp. Only cruel criminals can survive in such a place.]
Political reasons?
Although Jiang He had no memory, she felt that her coming to the training camp had nothing to do with political reasons.
She closed the post and opened another one.
Cai He actually sneaked into the lab. I've always felt he had a secret. Damn, he's truly incredibly skilled and daring. The timing of his entry was perfect. The warden and Captain Xiao aren't here, but the guards in the lab are incredibly serious. I'm so worried! My heart is about to burst. You guys squatting on the edge of the abyss should come and see Cai He.
…
Jiang He was about to continue browsing when the post was closed the next moment, the entire forum disappeared, and the screen in front of him became transparent again.
Little A's voice rang in her mind: [Your Majesty, you have been sleeping for too long.]
When it reminded her like this, Jiang He suddenly realized that she had been sleeping soundly.
As Xiao A finished speaking, her consciousness returned to her body. The cold and darkness in the abyss made her feel uncomfortable all over.
How could she sleep soundly in a place like this?
However, every time the tentacles were full, they would let her take a deep sleep, probably because all the tentacles had been full before.
The warden's voice reached Jiang He's ears: "I'm the warden, you idiots, get out of here!"
"You?" a mechanical voice sounded, disdainfully saying, "A love-struck person who abandoned her homeland for a man, do you think you're worthy?"
These words really hit the warden's sore spot. The warden roared angrily and fought with the three robots in front of him.
The three robots look ordinary, but they seem to be in sync with each other. They coordinate their offense, defense and sneak attacks very well, just like three conjoined twins. The three of them are very powerful when they work together, but when they attack the warden, the inhibitors on their necks will release electric current.
The electric current damaged their mechanical components. At first they tried to hold on, but soon they fell to the ground, shaking all over and rolling their eyes.
The warden dug his slender heel into one of their eyes and said angrily, "You bugs, cancer, scum!"
Having suffered too much humiliation tonight, the warden's anger was like magma, and he wished that all the people in front of him would be crushed to ashes.
But she had more important things to do. She pulled out another blood whip from her palm and slowly walked towards Jiang He.
Yao Leng and Shi Lao Ren, who had already fought a fierce battle with three robots nearby, were covered in wounds, but when they saw the warden walking towards Jiang He with murderous intent, they immediately rushed over to stop him.
The warden didn't even look back, but swung the whip in his hand and wrapped it around Yao Leng's neck.
"I remember that you and Qin Han have the same ice attribute." The warden grabbed Yao Leng's neck and lifted him up. "Even Qin Han is like a dog in front of me. He doesn't dare to go west when I shout east. Ha, who do you think you are?"
The warden's eyes rolled, he stared at Yao Leng and smiled slowly, "If you beg me, I'll let you go."
Yao Leng struggled to get free and spat in her face.
The warden's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he immediately tried to break Yao Leng's neck.
Her arm snapped.
His hand was still tightly gripping Yao Leng's neck, but his entire arm had already left her shoulder.
Yao Leng took two steps back and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by the old man Shi behind him in time.
He pulled the broken arm off his neck, turned his head, and looked at Jiang He in astonishment.
Jiang He had been unconscious since they arrived here, and the corpses of the mutant beasts were piled up like mountains around him. They guessed that Jiang He had killed all the mutant beasts and was then ambushed by the warden and fell into unconsciousness.
I didn't expect Jiang He to wake up at this time.
The two were ecstatic at this moment.
The attack on the warden caused Jiang He's suppressor to release electricity.
But perhaps the suppressor released too much current last time, causing overload and emptiness, and this time the current was like a drizzle.
When Jiang He beat up the warden before, he didn't even feel the electric current.
"My arm!" The warden cried out in pain. She looked up and saw that it was Jiang He's tentacle that had severed her arm. She stared at Jiang He with rage in her eyes, "You're looking for death!"
She endured the severe pain and swung the whip at Jiang He.
Jiang He's tentacles reached her before her, twisting her wrists and preventing her from swinging the whip.
After subduing the warden, Jiang He turned her head. The big tree with the brown bear was right next to her, and his face was completely hidden in the bark. But when Jiang He looked at him, a branch bent down and helped Jiang He put on her hat.
Jiang He: "I'm going to the lab. Brother Xiong, you promised me that you would get better as soon as possible and climb up the abyss to find us."
The brown bear's branch bent, as if to say: Okay, I will try my best to suppress the Magic Eye Fantasy Sky Vine.
The warden chuckled shrilly behind Jiang He, "How could he possibly turn into a human again? Even if he did, he would be your bear brother. You are so naive and ridiculous."
Jiang He was not angered by her. After saying goodbye to Brown Bear, she said to the warden, "Take us to the laboratory."
The warden probably felt that he was somewhat useful and would not be killed by Jiang He for the time being, so he became more and more proud. "You want to go to the lab? Tsk, do you know what will happen if you go into the lab? Your pretty little face will be..."
Jiang He interrupted her and turned to Yao Leng, saying, "Take her arm and I'll dig out her eyeballs. Who knows, they might be useful to the lab."
The warden's face turned pale instantly. "0112, we are both women, how can you be so cruel?"
Jiang He glanced at her with a cold expression, as if he was looking at a dead person.
The warden knew that this woman was ruthless and hadn't been restrained by a suppressor. She might actually be able to dig out her eyes. She immediately changed her mind and said, "I'll take you there."
With the warden leading the way, we don't even have to climb the cliff to leave the abyss.
Jiang He walked beside her and asked, "Are all the distorted objects in the abyss thrown from the laboratory?"
Warden: “Yes.”
Jiang He: "Who controls the laboratory?"
Old Man Shi cursed: "Fuck, you guys are so fucking inhuman, even more vicious than me."
Warden: "It has nothing to do with me. I'm just a worker. Do you think I want to stay in a place like this?"
The warden said to Jiang He, "I advise you to think carefully before going to the laboratory. I am not in charge of that place."
Jiang He: "Who is it?"
Warden: "Mr. Chen."
They had not been walking in the dark abyss for long when they stepped on a staircase.
Yao Leng was the most seriously injured. Old Man Shi supported him at first, but later he simply carried him horizontally and walked behind Jiang He.
Although the warden tried to slip away several times, Jiang He's tentacles wrapped around her neck did not give her any chance to escape.
She stared at the stairs below her feet, her mind turning. "At this time, Mr. Chen should not be in the laboratory. I can secretly take you in. But you'd better not touch anything inside. You will leave fingerprints, and then even I can't save you."
Jiang He: "What is the guard of the laboratory?"
She wasn't asking about the number of people. The warden guessed she might know something about the lab, so he didn't lie completely. He mixed up the truth and said, "Aberrations, they're all at least level seven, and they're not comparable to the defective ones in the abyss."
The warden finished speaking and glanced at Jiang He's tentacles. "0112, have you lost your memory?"
Jiang He didn't answer but asked, "Why do you say that?"
Her tone remained calm, and even her heartbeat showed no sign of quickening.
The warden's newly confirmed idea began to waver again after hearing 0112's reaction.
But no matter what, this person must not be brought to the laboratory and brought in front of Mr. Chen.
She must kill 0112 before reaching the laboratory!
There are still a few steps left. As long as she can hold on a little longer and leave the abyss until she reaches the middle level, she will be able to kill the other party.
"Many prisoners have suffered from amnesia." The wound on his severed arm was excruciatingly painful. The warden hated 0112 intensely, but his voice remained silent as he said, "The suppressors on prisoners with amnesia will occasionally malfunction."
Jiang He didn't care whether the warden's words were true or not, and continued to ask: "So what? Are these prisoners suffering from amnesia because of food poisoning from the poor food in the cafeteria? Or is there another reason?"
"It's the suppressors." The warden suppressed his thoughts and responded cleverly, "Some of the suppressors have problems."
"Where is your home planet?"
Jiang He's question was so irrelevant that the warden was stunned.
Warden: "Why are you asking this?"
But she still answered, probably thinking that it didn't matter if she told it to a dying man. "Three Ditch Star is outside the twelve star systems and is quite inconspicuous."
Jiang He: "If I have the chance, I will go back and take a look for you."
The previous climb to the bottom of the abyss was extremely long, like climbing a wall of several hundred meters, but they walked on this staircase in the dark, and it didn't take long before they reached the top of the abyss.
Jiang He raised his eyes and saw the consumptive ghost standing at the edge, still staring down into the abyss.
The words in the forum suddenly popped into her mind, and when she took a closer look, the profile of the consumptive man standing with his hands behind his back and his head slightly lowered was indeed very pleasing to the eye.
But in this state, isn’t he afraid that a deformed beast will rush over from behind and throw him into the abyss?
After all, he was only one step away from the abyss.
After Jiang He finished speaking, he stepped over the last step and reached the top of the abyss.
The warden beside her smiled, her eyes full of murderous intent. Leaving the abyss, this was her territory. "You won't have such an opportunity..."
She didn't finish her words.
She saw her body standing on the edge of the abyss. She saw her head missing from her neck, blood gushing out like a fountain. She saw her body being kicked into the pitch-black abyss by Jiang He. Her eyes widened, and as she breathed her last, she finally realized that 0112 had never intended to let her lead the way to the lab. His intention was to follow her and take a shortcut out of the abyss.
Iron Fist Tyrant killed the warden.
The forum of the Abyss of Evil instantly exploded.
