Chapter 55: Fifty-five Days of Salted Fish



055:

Guan Qiang opened his eyes drowsily, and saw a faint fluorescent light in his vision.

——Am I dead? Going to heaven?

It turns out there really is a heaven.

He laughed at himself in his heart, and two seconds later, he realized that this was not right. Even if it was heaven, the light was too dim.

and……

How can you feel pain after you die!

He moved his body and felt pain all over his body. He soon realized that there were vines tied to his body.

But they were already withered, and he broke them apart with just one struggle.

Guan Qiang struggled to sit up from the ground.

Judging from the pain in his body, he judged that two ribs were broken and his right leg was also broken.

Look up again.

A dark and gloomy black.

I don't know how high I fell, but I only broke a few bones. I'm still alive, which is a blessing.

He picked up the scattered dead branches and instantly realized that these were all done by Sang Tuo.

Without these, it would probably be more than just breaking a few bones.

"Brother Sang!" If he is fine, Sang Tuo must be fine too.

His voice echoed in the dark space, like the howling of ghosts from the depths of hell.

Guan Qiang rubbed the goose bumps on his hands and had a bad feeling in his heart.

In the light, he glanced at his watch.

It was around 6:30 pm when I fell, so it is now 5 am.

I struggled to get up from the ground and looked around, but didn't see Sang Tuo.

There was nothing here except him.

No, there is another strange thing.

Guan Qiang's eyes were fixed on the capsule that looked very high-tech.

Cracks appeared in the ground and people fell down. They didn't encounter any monsters. The surroundings were quiet and there was enough oxygen. There didn't seem to be any danger at all.

There is a large capsule that emits a fluorescent white light.

...Is this normal?

Guan Qiang felt it.

The supernatural power is still in a state of exhaustion.

The gun on his waist was still there. He took it out and held it in his hand. Enduring the pain of broken bones, he limped towards the capsule.

According to his own personality, when encountering such a strange situation, he should never become curious, because curiosity kills the cat.

Avoid if you can.

If you can’t avoid it, just pretend you don’t see it.

However, there was only one capsule around, and Sangtuo was nowhere to be seen... He wondered if Sangtuo was inside.

No matter what, he had to confirm it.

Guan Qiang walked for a while to cover the short distance of about ten meters.

The closer he got, the faster his heart beat, and the chill in the air made him break out in a thick layer of cold sweat on his back.

His body was frantically warning him: Don't come near.

Guan Qiang tightened his grip on the gun.

Three meters...

Two meters...

One meter...

Until his body touched the edge of the capsule, none of the unexpected situations he expected occurred, and the capsule did not extend any tentacles to attack him.

The tense body did not relax.

Guan Qiang saw a few drops of dark blood on the surface of the capsule, as well as a broken black bracelet with a small wooden sign strung on it. On one side of the sign was engraved a small word "Luo" and on the other side was a simple smiley face.

This is what Santo wears on his wrist.

Guan Qiang noticed this because he saw Sang Tuo fiddling with the wooden tag on his bracelet several times. Although his expression didn't change much, his eyes looked very gentle.

The fact that a man wears something like this on his hand is enough to show how important this bracelet is to him.

Guan Qiang guessed that it was a gift from his beloved.

Dark red bloodstains and a broken bracelet.

All of them explain the results.

The tall and strong man took a deep breath, glared at the capsule hatefully, and began to back away.

The capsule contains some unknown monster, which has eaten Sang Tuo, and he will be the next one to eat.

He has to get out of here.

Soon Guan Qiang became desperate.

This underground place is like the bottom of a well, with a limited area and solid rocks all around. If you want to leave, you can only go up.

He couldn't even find a hole to hide himself in.

In desperation, Guan Qiang had to sit down against the stone wall at the farthest distance from the capsule.

The most urgent thing is to restore the supernatural power first.

He took out several third-level earth crystal cores and absorbed them.

He sadly discovered that once he activated the energy in the crystal core to restore himself, the fluorescence on the capsule would extend from the ground.

The little bit of supernatural power he had just recovered was immediately drained away.

In the end, Guan Qiang gave up on recovering his superpowers and began to treat his own injuries.

He took out some water and compressed biscuits from his bag to fill his empty stomach and replenish his energy.

Time passes by every second.

The capsule remained silent.

Guan Qiang went from being on high alert at the beginning to giving up completely later.

Two days later, he began to figure out how to open the capsule.

Anyway, his superpowers couldn't be restored, he couldn't get out, and his food and water were gone, so he would die sooner or later.

But no matter what he tried, the capsule didn't move at all, and it didn't respond to any of his actions.

If it weren't for the constant fluorescence, moving from time to time, it would have looked like a dead object.

Guan Qiang was at his wit's end.

He re-woven Sang Tuo's broken bracelet.

Sang Tuo didn't even have a complete body, so collecting this would be considered collecting his body.

Three more days passed.

Guan Qiang had no more water to drink even if he tried to save it, and he also had no more dry food.

When going on a mission, you don't need to bring much food and water - you can get them on the way.

He licked his cracked lips, his eyes filled with fatigue and despair, and shouted at the capsule in a hoarse voice:

"If you have the guts, open it and eat me."

"What kind of a jerk is it to cower in there like a turtle!"

Before, he was ambitious to open the capsule, no matter what monster was inside, he would drag it down with him even if he died.

Guan Qiang started to curse loudly, and after that he felt so refreshed and relaxed.

This scolding also exhausted all his strength.

He collapsed on the ground, his mind racing through everything that had happened before, and finally he closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

Just then, he heard a crisp sound of a machine starting up. The sound came from the capsule that had been silent for five days.

Guan Qiang's slow heart was pounding.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and he didn't know where the strength came from in his body. He stood up.

His survival instinct made him reflexively pull out the gun behind his back.

He stepped back, staring at the fluorescent capsule, and heard another "crunch".

The capsule, which was so integrated that Guan Qiang could not find any opening, slowly opened upwards in his constricted pupils.

"Sang, Brother Sang?!"

Guan Qiang, who thought it was a monster that was going to attack him, was stunned for a moment after seeing the situation inside. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The thing lying inside the capsule was not a monster, but Sang Tuo, who he thought had been eaten by the monster and not even a complete body was left!

"Um."

After hearing the voice from the person inside, Guan Qiang finally came to his senses and stammered: "You... I thought..."

Sang Tuo sat up by holding the edge of the capsule. When he moved his fingers away, several deep fingerprints were left in the original place.

They both looked at the fingerprints at the same time.

Guan Qiang subconsciously reached out and pressed it. The edge of the capsule was obviously made of a special metal material and was very hard.

He shot it with a bullet, but it only produced a few sparks and left no trace.

...But Sang Tuo left a few fingerprints? !

Sang Tuo ignored Guan Qiang's shocked expression. He stared at the deep fingerprints with his eyelashes lowered. A cold, mechanical voice without any emotion came to his mind:

[Agent S-001 was successfully born.]

[Mission: Replace the indigenous humans and gain the power of the world]

At the same time, his mind moved and his consciousness immediately entered a data stream interface.

Countless pieces of information flooded his brain.

In any world shrouded in doomsday, higher-dimensional beings will compete for the world power of the doomsday world and send down agents.

Once agents are born, they look no different from humans and possess a variety of different abilities.

Because of their limited numbers, if they want to replace the indigenous humans, they need to infiltrate the human camp and assimilate humans into their own people.

Once this world is completely assimilated by them, the power of the world will be successfully obtained and the mission will be completed.

At that time, they will no longer have to return to their original world, but can continue to stay in this world that has been completely assimilated by them and become the masters of this world.

The news of the successful birth of S-001 was also known to the remaining agents.

Sang Tuo saw a communication interface similar to a "group".

【Congratulations.】

[It gave us a scare a few days ago, but it finally worked.]

@S-001, please share your experience and journey of successful birth. 】

I feel like I'm stuck.

[I too, absorb a lot of nutrients every day, but my progress is just not improving.]

Sang Tuo checked calmly.

In a moment, I understood the whole story.

The piece of flesh and blood he ate was the agent S-001 who had not yet been born.

Originally, it wanted to devour him as nutrients to help it in the final stage of its birth.

Unexpectedly, in this process, he got the upper hand.

Not only did he interrupt the birth of S-001, he also ate its body into pieces, and he himself was also exhausted.

The fusion of flesh and blood between the two sides actually led to the birth of success.

However, Sangtuo's consciousness defeated S-001 and took control of this new body.

S-001 did not dissipate.

It also exists in this body, coexisting with Sang Tuo.

But it could only shout from its corners: "Despicable human, don't be so complacent! Our Almighty Lord will discover you, a fake, and bring down divine punishment!"

The information that Santuo learned in this space of consciousness—

The high-dimensional being who deployed this group of agents had a battle with his mortal enemy, and he was beaten up by his mortal enemy. This scene was recorded and spread.

This is a symbol of shame for higher-dimensional existence.

The one thousand agents deployed as His believers and subordinates naturally hated this image.

Santo could not expel S-001, nor could he shield it.

He devoted a part of his mind to playing the video on a loop.

S-001: “…”

After temporarily getting rid of S-001, Sangtuo checked his own situation.

The newly born body is tailor-made for the agent. According to the world background, the initial data is S-level gold.

Sangtuo was originally a B-level peak wood type, and after the fusion, it was also retained.

That is to say.

Sang Tuo now has dual abilities, one of which is S-level gold.

In a life-and-death battle, he risked everything and walked through the gates of hell, but he turned out to be a blessing in disguise and his strength increased dramatically.

"Brother Sang, are you... okay?" Guan Qiang was worried when he saw Sang Tuo with his head down and not saying a word.

Sang Tuo's situation seems strange no matter how you look at it.

The person in the capsule turned out to be him, alive and well, with no problems at all. There were noticeable changes in his aura and strength that were visible to the naked eye.

He couldn't help but wonder: Is this Sang Tuo still the same Sang Tuo? Has he been parasitized by a monster?

The more Guan Qiang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

My throat was rolling and my scalp was tingling.

"How long has it been?" Sang Tuo came out of the capsule. Faced with the current result, it only took him half a minute to accept it.

Guan Qiang: “Five days.”

Sang Tuo sorted out his clothes, and the torn clothes were also repaired in the capsule.

His figure suddenly stopped.

——He felt nothing on his wrist.

Guan Qiang had been paying attention to his every word and action, and seeing this, he asked: "Are you looking for this?"

He quickly took out the braided bracelet: "It was broken outside, so I picked it up and braided it at the same time."

"Thank you very much."

Guan Qiang heard his thanks, then watched him take the bracelet, rub the small wooden plaque with his fingertips, and put it on his wrist naturally. His heart, which had been hanging high in the air, fell back down.

Sangtuo was obviously not parasitized.

If you are parasitized by a monster, it is impossible to do such a thing.

His heart was in a mess. He was happy that Sangtuo was not parasitized, but also curious about Sangtuo's current situation. While he was daydreaming, a soft energy enveloped him.

The bones he had broken earlier were healing. Although they were not completely healed, the pain was gone and he was about two-thirds healed!

Bone injuries are different from external injuries and are more difficult to treat.

Guan Qiang took two seconds to react: "Don't waste your superpowers, this place can absorb superpowers. Every time I recover a little, it's sucked away!"

As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment.

His superpowers are currently in a state of exhaustion, but looking at Sang Tuo, does it look like his superpowers are exhausted?

Sang Tuo ended his treatment without explanation and simply allowed Guan Qiang to regain his superpowers.

As soon as Guan Qiang recovered, he found that his supernatural powers were no longer being devoured.

He glanced at the capsule and seemed to understand something vaguely.

Sangtuo closed the capsule cover and operated some instructions on it. The fluorescent white light sank into the stone wall, and the stone wall began to change, forming a series of steps.

A few hours later, the two reappeared on the surface.

The sun was shining brightly at that time.

It’s still the same farm as before.

However, it seemed that there had been a big battle here. The monster's body parts were everywhere, and the parked helicopter was gone.

It looks like the work of Bian Linan.

"I don't know if the others are still alive. They were also swallowed." Guan Qiang said, "But they should be fine as they are commanding."

Sang Tuo remained silent.

Guan Qiang was a little confused: "Where should we go next? Go find Commander Bian?"

The mission hasn't been completed yet.

Sang Tuo raised his eyes, looking at the flying monster in the distance that had spotted fresh prey and was flying towards them, and said, "I'm going to City C."

The implication is that you can do as you please.

Guan Qiang thought, City C is not a mission city.

But he subconsciously said: "I'm with you. I don't know how to find the direction. I will listen to you."

"Are you going to City C to look for someone?" Guan Qiang roughly guessed what he wanted to do and asked tentatively.

Santo glanced at him.

"Finding people is what I'm best at." Guan Qiang understood, "I have a companion talent that happens to be useful."

One of his companion talents, [Astrology and Divination], is a very useless ability and he rarely uses it.

For example, if you use it to find someone, you can't predict their specific location, but it can give some clues, which is better than nothing.

Seeing that Sang Tuo tacitly agreed to let him go, Guan Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go find a car."

How far is Nanfeng City from City C? How do I get there?

You also need to find a large map.

Seeing the flying monsters rushing towards him, Guan Qiang was about to take action when he heard Sang Tuo say, "Capture two alive and use them as transportation."

Guan Qiang: “???”

Guan Qiang: “!!!”

Is there something wrong with his ears?

Using monsters as transportation is like courting death!

Rosenborg

Sang Luo nestled in the soft sofa, watching a movie, rubbing a fluffy sesame dumpling in his arms;

In front of me was a fresh fruit platter, a cup of iced rose vanilla milk tea, and a plate of red velvet chocolate rolls.

A beautiful and enchanting mutant mermaid was behind her, gently massaging her shoulders.

——Among the four S-level sea monsters, only it returned to Luoshen Castle.

Gui Chenggong and the fifth-level zombie Tang Jie still stayed in the Nanxiao Military District of Haicheng.

After all, sea monsters cannot survive without the sea.

Mutated mermaids are different, at least they are half human.

The more luxurious and comfortable Sang Luo's life is, the more gloomy and miserable the system's mood is.

It is caught between the host and the system bureau, being bullied by both sides and wants to quit.

The System Bureau has already compromised and shipped the goods, and the host has received them, but she did not start the mission immediately.

It’s been five days since I returned to Luoshenbao.

Every day she eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, watches movies and plays games.

In her words, she was inspecting the goods.

Sang Luo did not show the food court he had received. There were fifty shops in the food court, each offering a different signature dish.

There is no one running the place. You just need to provide crystal cores as payment and you will get a delicious meal immediately.

The items in front of Sang Luo were exchanged by her from the food court.

It’s not cheap, but not expensive either, a total of ten level three crystal cores.

However, these exchanged foods look beautiful, but the taste is actually average.

It's totally not as good as the class monitor's craftsmanship.

Of course, it’s not bad to eat.

The evaluation given by Sangluo after inspection: Three hearts, make do with it.

The advantage of this food street is that it has a wide variety of food. You don’t have to pay for the raw materials. You just have to pay for the food that is available there.

For others, if they could have such a food street, they would wake up smiling in their dreams.

In the end times, you don’t have to worry about food at all. Just find a place to stay and you can live happily all your life.

But for Sang Luo, whose appetite had been spoiled by the squad leader's cooking, these delicacies were just passing grade and not amazing.

But since you received the goods, you should at least pay for it.

The system keeps urging, but the host always asks why he is in such a hurry, and there is no response.

She is not in a hurry.

The system bureau is in a hurry.

The system bureau is pushing it like crazy!

After a while, the system bureau seemed to be in despair.

Maybe they think its working ability is too poor and it is suppressed by the host. How can it be called a system?

The System Bureau is going to recycle it!!!

Fortunately, its host still had some conscience and didn't say anything like "it's better to change it."

She told the system to connect directly to her.

The system had the good fortune to witness its own company being silenced by its host, and its dark fire grew.

It was certain that more than one staff member had been replaced at the System Bureau!

The System Bureau had to retreat again.

Don't force Sang Luo to complete the task immediately, just hope that she can complete it in the end.

...It has come to this point.

In short, Sanlo won a great victory.

Suddenly the system was balanced.

Look, its company can be firmly controlled by the host, and it, a small worker, can't even hold the host. Isn't this natural!

A large projector was placed in the square of Luoshen Castle.

From time to time, it played the footage recorded by Gu Qingchuan - the scene of Sang Luo fighting against the S-level mutant oarfish.

The leader of the thorn beasts guarding the gate was fortunate enough to get a close look, and from then on he guarded the gate quietly without having any other thoughts.

The same is true for the Silver Electric Puppet Wolf that serves as a power bank.

At this time, a clip from the movie showed spicy crayfish and steamed crab in lotus sauce.

"Master, do you want to eat?" The mutant mermaid noticed that the girl's eyes seemed to brighten a lot.

Sang Luo didn't say yes or no.

A wise servant must learn to understand his master's thoughts.

After Sang Luo fell asleep, Poseidon used the special sound waves that sea monsters use to communicate to pass on a message to his three companions far away in the sea city:

——[The master wants to eat crabs and prawns, please prepare some and send them over.]

The three sea monsters who received the news began to prepare. They used a simple and crude method and ordered:

——[One hundred crabs and shrimps that are over one meter tall and not too ugly gather together and head to Luoshen Fort.]

A hundred crabs and prawns that looked normal but were just a little larger gathered together and instinctively moved forward according to the instructions.

They were pushed by the sea water and soon entered a tributary river, then moved and crawled.

Three huge sea monsters lay underwater, watching the food that Devil Sang specifically requested enter the waters of Qingyang Lake before slowly returning.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

A special psychic monitoring the outside of Luoshen Fort noticed that the calm water surface suddenly began to flow rapidly, and there seemed to be something underneath...

The thorn beasts guarding the gate rushed to the river bank and prepared for battle.

In the tense atmosphere, the lake water broke open and a big crab about three meters long came out, followed closely by a shrimp of the same size.

The two of them moved forward.

——The big crab has to walk upright to move forward.

As they moved, they were followed by other large crabs and shrimps that came ashore one after another.

They came ashore in order of size, neatly lined up behind the two big ones, with the big ones in front and the small ones behind.

The Thorn Beast was confused, not knowing whether it should take action.

"Don't worry, they are ingredients." The housekeeper Du Jianguo, who had received the news in advance, ordered the door to be opened and let the shrimps and crabs in.

Everyone was stunned: “???”

This is a bunch of ingredients! ?

Amidst the shocked and strange gazes of the crowd, the shrimps and crabs came to the central square and lay there motionless, very aware of being food.

It seemed as if four words were written on the back: Welcome to eat.

Sang Luo woke up.

There are steamed crabs in lotus sauce and spicy "small" lobsters.

After eating, she looked down at her bulging belly, touched her waist, and fell into deep thought.

The system spoke at the right moment: "You now weigh 54.78kg, 2.43kg heavier than before. At this rate of growth, you're gaining about 1kg per day."

Sang Luo took several seconds to say, "Of course the weight will be different when you're full."

The system knew she would say that, so it had a trick up its sleeve: "54.78kg is the data before you ate. Now it's 56.45kg."

Sang Luo: “…”

She got up as if nothing had happened, changed out of her pajamas, and then tied her hair into a fluffy and beautiful bun, calling out Die Meili.

Finally I can bear to go out!

The system suppressed its excitement when it saw her instruct Die Meili to go to Haicheng.

They encountered two cracks in Haicheng. Sang Luo destroyed the second one, but there was still the first one.

The System Bureau sent a software that can detect agents within a certain range.

In order to digest the food, the beauty-loving host must have gone to Haicheng to attack the agent.

Die Meili was flying at full speed, Sang Luo controlled the wind, and the whistling and sharp wind turned into soft silk that lingered around her.

In less than half an hour, she arrived at Haicheng and went straight to the center of the sea.

system:"?"

The crack is not here.

After a while, three S-level sea monsters came over.

The big-eyed sea monster Lin Yi and the missing-horn sea monster Lin Er were very confused.

Could it be that the crabs and prawns they sent over were not tasty?

Lin San didn't think too much about it. He stretched out his long body and looked at Sang Luo at eye level, unable to hide his joy: "Mom, why are you here?"

Sang Luo looked at the azure waters below and ordered the three to clean up this area of ​​the sea.

system:"??"

The three of them did as they were told and finished the job in a short while.

Sang Luo took off his coat.

The system then discovered that she was wearing a swimsuit underneath.

system:"???"

Then, its host dives into the clear sea water.

The system was having trouble breathing and asked tremblingly: "...What are you doing?"

Sang Luo: "Swimming helps lose weight."

The system vomited blood: "..."

Sang Luo sighed, "Sure enough, it's still more comfortable to swim in the sea. The swimming room at home is too small after all."

system:"…………"

At this time, the sound of propellers came from afar.

The angry system still scanned subconsciously.

The next second, it screamed excitedly: "Ahhhhhh it's the hero and heroine!!! Host, hurry up and give them some trouble!"

Sang Luo lost interest and continued swimming.

System: "What a great opportunity! Just move your little finger."

For example, let their helicopter have an accident and fall into the water.

Then he remembered that there were other people in the helicopter, not just the hero and heroine. The system hesitated again: "Forget it, the others are innocent."

Bian Linan, who was operating the helicopter, glanced at the calm sea and his heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, he seemed to see a figure.

Luo Fan teased Qin Yu, "Do you remember when we used to go to the beach to catch seafood? Look at this sea. Does it look like the one back home?"

They finally escaped from the crack and returned to the ground, but Bian Linan did not leave either.

Although they lost several teammates, especially the one he hated, Santo, which was a bit sad, they were both lucky to be alive.

The mission has been going smoothly these past few days.

Luo Fan really couldn't understand why Qin Yu was always unhappy.

What did those dead people have to do with her? !

Qin Yu wasn't in the mood, but she still answered Luo Fan: "Yeah."

She didn't want to argue with Luo Fan before she raised her voice slightly: "Commander Bian, are we going to return to the base after we get the arms in Haicheng?"

After receiving Bian Linan's affirmative answer, she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "After we get the arms, can we go to City C?"

Something unexpected happened.

A ferocious shadow shot out from the sea, wrapped around the helicopter at a terrifying speed, and pulled it into the sea with almost devastating force!

The fuselage creaked unbearably and the piercing alarm on the dashboard blared frantically.

As it pulled, it pointed its flat head in a certain direction.

Everyone in the helicopter heard a cold but cheerful voice:

"Mom, you've looked at that buzzing thing in the sky for a few times. You must like it. I'll shoot it down for you to play with~~"

Everyone in the plane: !!!
