054:
Nanfeng City
Bian Linan, who went to investigate alone, arrived at the military region smoothly.
He stood in a secluded area and looked down. The entire military area was occupied by countless densely packed zombies.
They were wearing tattered military uniforms, revealing their identities in life.
Apart from zombies, there are no monsters within a radius of five miles.
It can be seen that there should be at least one level four zombie leader in the fallen military area, forming a situation where the monsters do not interfere with each other.
Bian Linan didn't know where the armory was located.
The arsenal is one of the most important areas of a military base and is usually built in an underground safe area.
Bian Linan's teleportation range is two kilometers. Without knowing the location, teleporting blindly to search will not only consume supernatural powers, but also easily lead to being trapped in a tide of zombies if you are not careful.
The more evolved the zombies are, the greater the influence of their occupations in life will have on them.
The first level zombies are not very obvious at the beginning.
The zombies in the military area were all strictly trained soldiers in their lifetime. Their combat awareness was significantly higher than that of other zombies, and more than half of them were zombies with superpowers.
Some zombies also have companion talents.
Once trapped in it... Bian Linan remembered the zombie invasion that the base had encountered before.
He is a cautious person by nature. Even though he now has dual special abilities and is very powerful, he does not think that he can walk around in the end times.
Bian Linnan first confirmed the surrounding terrain, and then after some exploration, he concluded that there were three level four zombies.
The strongest among them is a level 4 peak fire-type zombie.
After figuring out the general situation, he returned to the temporary camp.
Teamwork is the most effective way to complete a task; acting alone is not advisable.
However, the deserted and extremely quiet farm camp made Bian Linan's vigilance reach its peak in an instant.
He was gone for only two hours.
Although the team was formed temporarily, each member has rich experience in dealing with zombies and monsters.
There were no signs of a fight at the scene, and the luggage they brought with them was placed normally in the cabin, which ruled out the possibility that they were attacked and evacuated to another location.
Bian Linan saw the cleaned grill with a few pieces of luncheon meat still on it that had not yet been grilled.
There were a few newly sprouted vegetable seedlings standing there listlessly.
He checked carefully and found through clues that his teammates seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
They are all B-level mutants with considerable strength. No matter what, it is impossible for them to be completely powerless to resist.
But there were no signs of a fight at the scene.
This is the most creepy thing.
What kind of monster would make this group of people disappear all of a sudden and without a sound?
Standing under the quietly falling night, Bian Linan felt a chill slowly running down his back.
After a moment, he chose to sit on the ground.
Not long after leading this group of people to the mission location, they disappeared collectively.
Even though everyone had made relevant preparations before departure, Bian Linan could not accept that his teammates would disappear for no reason.
Nothing unusual was found around, but one thing is certain: the monster will not let go of the prey that is in its mouth.
He is just waiting here for the monster to come!
…
Bian Linan didn't know that his teammates were right under his feet... in a crack hundreds of meters deep.
The crack in the ground was like a giant's gaping mouth, leading to an endless abyss.
In this situation, no one can react immediately.
Even if they reacted, the earth and rocks above their heads would have quickly closed together, blocking the pouring light from the sky.
It was cold and dark all around, and I could only feel my body falling and falling.
The cold and dampness envelops the whole body like a maggot attached to the bones.
Sang Tuo and Guan Qiang were standing close to each other. When they were swallowed by the crack, Guan Qiang, who was caught off guard, screamed out from his throat: "Fuck fuck fuck - ah -"
His shrill voice reminded Santo of the situation he was in, and he reacted as follows:
He quickly sent vines into the stone wall, stopping his falling body and simultaneously throwing out another vine, wrapping up Guan Qiang with the sound.
The tight feeling around his waist and the sudden stop of his body made Guan Qiang stop screaming, and he quickly demonstrated the coping ability of a B-level earth-type.
He immediately used local materials and controlled the soil and stones to solidify and extend from the stone wall to his feet, so that he could stand steadily.
"Brother Sang!" he called Sang Tuo.
"Yeah." A response came from above.
Guan Qiang also used his voice to condense a stone slab under Sang Tuo's feet for him to stand on.
It was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
The danger was temporarily over. Guan Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear: "What the hell is going on? Is this an earthquake?"
"No." A man's low and steady voice came from above, without any emotion.
Comparing it with his reaction just now... Guan Qiang's face turned red.
I'm still a wood type!
Thinking about the other person's past identity, Guan Qiang felt justified and thought that the other person's reaction was normal.
"If it's not an earthquake, what is it?" He was confused and uneasy. He felt as if there were invisible eyes hidden in the darkness around him, looking at him quietly.
No response was received.
Guan Qiang glanced down, smoothed the goose bumps on his arms, and answered himself: "Whatever it is, let's go up first. Can you pull me over to your place first?"
After a while, Guan Qiang pulled it up.
As soon as he went up, he smelled a faint smell of blood.
"Brother Sang, are you hurt?" he asked with concern.
After a moment, a faint red light came on - Santuo turned on two glow sticks.
In the dim light, Guan Qiang saw a piece of iron stuck in his shoulder.
There was a lot of debris falling as he was falling, so I guess that's how he got injured.
He did not use his supernatural powers to heal his injuries.
Santo threw one of the glow sticks down.
The dark red light flickered for only a few seconds before being swallowed by the endless darkness.
Guan Qiang swallowed hard, and to ease the pervasive uneasiness and chill, he let out a dry sigh and joked, "Could it be that it leads directly to the center of the earth?"
"We've fallen about two hundred meters." Sang Tuo looked up. "Be alert to the surrounding situation."
After he finished speaking, he controlled the vines to make them rise up.
Guan Qiang calmed his mind and stayed alert. He knew what Sang Tuo meant.
One of them is of the wood element and the other is of the earth element. Climbing up is not a difficult task for them in this situation. As he is an earth element with a strong offensive ability, it is obviously the most suitable person to be on guard against emergencies.
However, after climbing about fifty meters, Sang Tuo stopped.
Guan Qiang asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"The stone wall is devouring my superpowers." Sang Tuo's voice remained steady.
Before he could finish his next words, the roots firmly embedded in the stone wall broke as if they had been bitten off.
When he tried to push the vine in again, the stone wall was as hard as diamond and he couldn't find a foothold at all.
Guan Qiang tried to take materials from the stone wall to make a stone slab as he had done before, but failed as well.
While using his superpowers, he felt the power being drained away quickly - as Sang Tuo said, the stone wall not only became extremely hard, but was also absorbing their superpowers.
Guan Qiang cursed angrily.
Who the hell can stand this weird thing?
You're dead now.
They didn’t know how deep it was, and even if they didn’t die from the fall, they didn’t know what kind of horror was waiting for them.
When the time came, Guan Qiang calmed down.
It's just death anyway, what's there to be afraid of?
"Brother Sang, I didn't expect that we would die together." He sighed.
He also felt that Sangtuo was even more miserable than himself. He was a business legend, but in the end he died here with him.
How frustrating.
Sang Tuo said nothing.
Guan Qiang sighed secretly and closed his eyes in despair.
As he fell deeper, the cold grew stronger, freezing his bones to the point that they seemed about to break.
He wondered, shouldn't it get hotter the further you go to the center of the earth...
Later, even his thoughts froze. He only vaguely felt as if he had touched solid ground, and then he knew nothing.
If Guan Qiang was sure that he couldn't keep his body steady and gave up in despair, then Sang Tuo's mind was thinking frantically every second of his fall.
He is not afraid of death.
But you can't die.
Especially not dying here silently.
He finally had hope of finding the Sang family treasure, and he would not allow it to end here just at the beginning.
The cold that penetrated into his bones did not freeze Sang Tuo's thoughts.
After awakening the wood element as his main healing element, he knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to even protect his parents, let alone find Xiao Baoer.
He began to train his body desperately.
Twenty hours out of twenty-four hours a day are spent training myself.
After you have achieved some success, you can join a team to hunt monsters and zombies. This will not only allow you to obtain crystal cores, but also enhance your own strength.
This process unknowingly tempered Sangtuo's will.
When Guan Qiang was so cold that he could no longer think, Sang Tuo became more and more clear-headed.
He squeezed out the supernatural powers that had been devoured almost to nothing in his body, and used thick vines to wrap around the vital parts of his body, including Guan Qiang's.
Even if you land and get hit hard, there's a chance you'll survive - it's better than doing nothing.
Sang Tuo doesn't care whether Guan Qiang lives or dies.
He has never been a kind person.
Before the end of the world, his collaborators and enemies' evaluations of him as "ruthless", "unkind", and "cunning and scheming" were very accurate.
Sang Tuo is probably a born cold-blooded person, and he doesn't care about many people and things.
The only warmth is given to my family.
Family is his weak spot.
…
Guan Qiang is more useful alive than dead.
He is alive, which increases his chances of survival.
This is why Sangtuo still provided protection to Guan even though his superpowers were exhausted.
A fluorescent white light appeared in the darkness, but Sangtuo's consciousness fell silent in an instant.
The capsule-like incubator flashes fluorescent light, and high-tech data streams like special effects meander on the minimalist shell.
They converge together and lie quietly in this dead place.
Fluorescence spread from under the ecological cabin and penetrated into the rock as if it were alive.
They can break down the presence and composition of rock, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the ground.
At the top of the incubator, a line of words emerged clearly as the fluorescent light flickered.
S-001.
As one of the first agents deployed, after absorbing enough nutrients, it is about to be successfully born.
Just one last bit.
Unlike other agents who lure their prey into unconsciously sacrificing themselves, S-001 prefers to do it openly.
When it sees its prey, it swallows it.
After swallowing, there is no need to rush to absorb it. Instead, you can appreciate the various self-rescue methods used by the prey in panic, which is also a unique experience.
Not long ago, it received a message from 3-053 through a special frequency band between agents.
All agents are warned to be aware of a woman and to avoid her if they meet her.
It is undeniable that the video materials attached to 3-053 are quite shocking. It is surprising that such a powerful psychic exists on this backward planet.
But so what?
After all, he is just a human being.
It's a flesh and blood body, what's so difficult to deal with?
3-053 simply lacked the ability to cope, was forced to eat several tons of garbage and suffered several lightning strikes, and therefore listed this person as the greatest danger to the agent.
It's a joke.
There are cowards in any group.
3-053's reaction is understandable.
S-001 put this information behind him.
Not long after, it found a batch of fresh and high-quality prey, absorbed them, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be born.
Originally, it wanted to absorb Luo Fan's group first.
When these people fell into the gap, they naturally each made different self-rescue reactions.
Luo Fan and Qin Yu suffered some minor injuries in the thrilling encounter, but eventually managed to stabilize themselves.
S-001 inexplicably focused its attention on the two of them, as it was happy to watch more exciting real-life dramas.
Therefore, they deliberately awakened a kind of sand and stone monsters sleeping in the rocks and let them play with this group of people.
S-001 is strange.
It seems that no matter how dangerous the situation is, those two young men and women can always get out of danger. It's quite interesting.
Therefore, it planned to let this group of people continue to provide it with a good survival picture, and decided to absorb the two people it swallowed later.
At this critical juncture.
A piece of news spread that made all the agents excited.
——Agent 0-023 failed to conceive and died.
This was the first death of an agent among a total of one thousand agents in ten categories.
The Agent was gestating deep underground and should have been safe, so why did he die? How did he die?
However, all agents only received the news of 0-023's death, and no other additional information.
This means that 0-023 died very quickly.
It may not even know how it died, and has no chance to reveal any useful information to other agents.
The agents began to communicate among themselves.
Some remained silent, while others spoke enthusiastically, analyzing the cause of 0-023's death.
Most people think that there might be a problem with the gestation process - such as a malfunction of the gestation chamber, insufficient nutrition absorption, and poor development...
A very small number of people thought that it might have been done by humans. Didn’t 3-053 encounter a very scary human woman?
[You're overthinking it. It's impossible for humans to discover our existence. Even if the human 0-053 encounters is somewhat capable, would she dare to go deep into our territory?]
[0-053 is clearly making a mountain out of a molehill. Don't boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige.]
0-053: [I'm not exaggerating, I'm being honest! This woman gives me a terrifying feeling! I'm reminding you to avoid her if you see her, for your own good.]
The agents do not know each other's gestational location.
After spitting out the garbage, 0-053 quickly moved himself to another place.
It didn't know that the dead 0-023 was in the same city as it.
Seeing that many agents were making sarcastic remarks, 0-053 closed the internal communication channel.
Whether they believe it or not, it is determined to develop in a low-key manner.
Before she was born, if you found any trace of that woman, you should avoid her immediately.
The farther the better.
S-001 casually glanced at everyone's arguments. The communication atmosphere was quite poor. After all, the death of 0-02 still made some agents feel uneasy.
——This kind of unexplained situation that causes the failure of reproduction and death makes them worry about what if it happens to them?
It sends a message: [I will be born soon.]
This piece of news was like pouring a pot of hot oil into a pot of hot water, which instantly caused the pot to explode.
The first agent died, and the next agent was born immediately, the atmosphere and attention were quite high.
S-001 uploads its own breeding progress: 99.0%
And a group of nutrients waiting to be absorbed.
So many prey! I'm so envious.jgp
[Envy +1]
[Can you tell me which city this is? There aren't even a few monsters in the city I'm staying in!]
[For those in front, I suggest you change your position quickly. The nutrients provided by the monsters are pitifully small, so you still need fresh prey.]
[So many! @S-001, you only need to absorb two more to successfully give birth. Give the rest to us.]
【Share your location, and go there immediately if you are nearby. 】
…
S-001: [Who would complain about being full? I won't reveal my location, sharing my success with everyone. I simply want to tell you that 0-023 is just an exception. Regardless of the cause of its death, as long as it finds enough prey and has sufficient nutrients, it will not fail.]
After sharing, it secretly peeks at the screen.
Its speech received a lot of support, some of which included praise - it was worthy of being the first agent ranked first.
After enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention during the internal communication, S-001 withdrew from the internal communication without further delay.
The fluorescent light gathered and concentrated under the two human men.
Soon they will turn into nutrients to nourish it, allowing this to complete its final gestation.
Now its limbs and torso have been successfully developed, and flesh and blood have also grown along with it.
However, it still lacks a face.
S-001 fixed his gaze on the face of one of them. This human face was the first one he had seen in all the time he had been nurtured, and it was the one that best met his expectations.
It came up with a plan.
I decided to use this human face.
It is better to use the original one than to reproduce it.
S-001 opens the door of the incubator.
It wants to pull this human into the cabin and absorb him.
…
Sang Tuo slowed his heartbeat to the slowest possible speed, so slow that it was almost stopping.
The vines wrapped around his head had shattered, revealing his pale and handsome face.
His expression was calm, and he looked no different from being dead.
As his consciousness sank into the darkness of nothingness, Sangtuo vaguely felt as if he had lost something important.
But I just can't remember it.
Others may not be able to remember and give up.
But the word "give up" is missing from his dictionary.
The more he couldn't remember, the more he wanted to think about it, even though it hurt so much that his brain felt like it was stuffed with a bomb and had just exploded.
After an unknown amount of time, Sang Tuo heard a faint baby cry.
It was so weak that it looked like a tiny white noise in the pouring rain.
Sang Luo was a premature baby. When she was born, Sang Tuo was already an adult.
At that time, Sang's mother was critically ill and Sang's father was busy taking care of his wife, so Sang Luo, who looked like a kitten when he was born, was taken over by Sang Tuo.
Little Sang Luo's first cry was made in Sang Tuo's hands.
For this little girl who is much younger than him, Sang Tuo is raising her as a daughter rather than a younger sister.
…
A storm suddenly swept through Sang Tuo's empty consciousness—his consciousness suddenly woke up!
Knowing the danger of the situation, he looked around quietly.
When Santo saw the incubator emitting a creepy and evil aura, his mind raced.
Before he could react, the capsule in his vision suddenly opened and he was pulled in.
Realizing that the bloody mass inside was about to devour him, a look of desperation flashed across Sang Tuo's gloomy eyes.
Without warning, he thrust his shoulder hard against the top of the incubator, using the force to restore his dislocated shoulder.
Then he reached out his hand like lightning and pierced into the mass of flesh, grabbed the dark red flesh that could be clearly seen beating like a heart, pulled it out with force, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fluorescent white light stopped for a moment.
S-001 couldn't believe it.
It! Was! Actually! Eaten! by! its! prey! First!
The next second, it was so angry that it let out a scream that humans could not hear. Sangtuo's flesh and blood were torn into pieces, and he instantly became a bloody man.
The other party's reaction proved that his decision was correct.
As if he felt no pain, he tore the flesh and blood into pieces while his body was stretched, and ate most of it.
The door to the incubator slammed shut.
It's impossible to tell whose flesh and blood it is inside.
…
When the agent is in the gestation period, the main body is actually very fragile.
——How strong can an embryo growing in the uterus be?
It wanted to eat Sangtuo, but was eaten by Sangtuo instead.
Until consciousness fades.
S-001 was cursing himself: You are a fucking idiot!
…
At the same time, the agent was once again in turmoil.
——Agent S-001 failed to conceive and died.
???!!!!!!
At this moment, all the agents were excited.
The message that S-001 previously stated would be born soon is still in the hot zone!
Pictures speak louder than words.
what happened? !
How could the agents not be panicked?
Two agents died inexplicably at once, one of them just half a step away from being born.
【Everyone, don't panic.】
[Anyone who is about to successfully emerge can tell us how they feel now? ]
[My progress is 96%, no abnormalities.]
[Progress 93%, no abnormalities.]
[Is this S-001's prey...?]
Before the agent finished speaking, everyone received a new message:
——Agent S-001 is not dead and is still being nurtured.
“???”
All agents: old lady on the subway looking at her phone.jpg
Can you verify the situation before making it public?
If you report false information, you will be struck by lightning!
