Chapter 824
In the splattering of blood, Chen Xiaolian's hand had been quickly pulled out.
In his hand, he grasped a fist-sized, embryo-like piece of flesh, covered with tentacles, and still wriggling.
Obviously, there was no vocal organ, but when Chen Xiaolian caught it, the embryo let out a piercing scream out of nowhere.
After being caught, Chen Xiaolian didn't make any moves, and the embryo turned into ashes on his hands.
And the wound on Adric's chest immediately healed again.
"I ......"
As soon as Chen Xiaolian let go of his hand, Adric saw a new prompt message in his personal system.
[Quest Hint: Due to an unknown error, the alien embryo and its genes have been stripped and the mission has been aborted.] 】
At the same time, the connection between Adric's original body and extraterrestrial genes was abruptly severed.
"Alright, you can find a random place to wait. I'll get back to you when the dungeon is over. ”
"Copy...... It's not over yet??" Adric reached out and touched his chest, and at this moment he could barely see the scar.
Although his self-healing ability is derived from the genes of the parasite armor, the ability to manipulate the genes itself is brought by the alien embryo in the meteorite. Now that the alien embryo has been lost, it naturally no longer has the ability to recover itself. The healing of the wound on his chest was obviously also caused by Chen Xiaolian's strength.
"I have something else to do for the time being. Chen Xiaolian had already turned around and waved at Adric: "When I'm done, I'll let the dungeon end." ”
Chen Xiaolian's words surprised Adric again.
- "I'll let the quest end"?
Adric took a deep look at Chen Xiaolian's back, and only then did he turn his head and silently glance at Todoro until he disappeared into the radiation dust.
......
The tire snapped open and jumped from the ground.
He lowered his head and slapped his body hard.
There are no abnormalities.
This...... What's going on?
Didn't die yourself?
In the last moment of losing consciousness, his memory remained only in the images of countless nuclear bombs exploding.
The nuclear bombs in the sky fell like a torrential rain, and they should have ...... There's no way you're going to survive!
But now, I am unscathed?!
The tire jerked its head up and looked around.
Spare tire, Qiaoqiao, Xiuxiu, Roddy, and even Qimuxi!
Everyone on the team is here, and they're all alive as well.
There was dense radioactive dust floating around, and the line of sight was only a dozen meters. Where Adric is now, it is not clear at all.
The heat wave was rolling around, and through the radioactive dust, you could see a faint red glow on the ground in the distance.
It is clear that it was the high heat that followed the explosion of the nuclear bomb that temporarily melted the surface of the ground.
But only under the feet of a few people, the ground is intact.
Not only was it not melted, but there was not even the slightest trace of the explosion that had been experienced.
This is a valley within a nature reserve surrounded by vegetation. But at this moment on the ground beneath your feet? There are even grass and shrubs!
Although under the smoky heat around it? It's a little yellow at the moment, but it's obvious? The power of the nuclear explosion just now miraculously disappeared in just this small patch of ground.
This...... What the hell is going on?!
And Adric? And where is he?
"It's strange you're still alive?"
A familiar voice came from behind him.
"Little ...... Little face?!"
The tire turned his head sharply and saw Chen Xiaolian's smiling face.
"You...... You ......"
The tire stretched out its hand and pointed at Chen Xiaolian? He stammered and couldn't speak.
Chen Xiaolian just stood quietly like this? With a smile on his face: "I'm done somewhere." When you come back? I just found out that you guys were having trouble with this dungeon, so I'm here to help. Come...... It's just in time, isn't it?"
"How did you get into the dungeon?!After the dungeon starts, how can you still enter?!" Tire's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Xiaolian in disbelief: "And?" The ...... of the nuclear explosion just now"
Only then did he notice? The radioactive dust in the sky is just floating around. An invisible and invisible stance isolated them from the fallout.
Don't...... This is also what Chen Xiaolian did?
"It's just a nuclear explosion, and it's not difficult to stop it. Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "Of course? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for you right now. ”
"For normal people...... It's hard...... "Tire muttered to himself.
"As for entering this dungeon...... Chen Xiaolian said leisurely, "It's very simple?" Permission is fine. ”
"You're ...... now. It's as if you've become a creature of a completely different dimension than us. "Tire took out a few bottles of healing beast blood and swallowed it? Turning his head to look at the few people behind him, his eyes dimmed: "It's a pity that you came a little late." Xia Xiaolei and Da Gang are both ......"
"Little Ray is indeed dead. But...... Have you forgotten? He's the Awakened? Through metal balls? You can also get a chance to be resurrected. As for Dagang ......"
Chen Xiaolian pointed behind him: "This guy's life is very hard?" It's not that easy to hang up. Now that I'm here, how could he die?"
Only then did the tire see that Tianlie was lying behind Chen Xiaolian.
Although he is still motionless, since Chen Xiaolian said that he is still alive, the tire believes that he must still be alive!
What's more, if it's dead, whether it's a player, an awakened person, or a loophole, the corpse should be refreshed.
"Little face?!"
"Small-faced Oba!"
Several other people also woke up one after another, and when they saw Chen Xiaolian, they all let out an exclamation.
Qiao Qiao was the first to rush over and hugged Chen Xiaolian hard.
Xiuxiu followed closely behind her, stretched out her small arms, and hugged the two of them together.
"Little face, don't let your guard down. "Our opponent is strong, I even doubt it...... Even if it was a nuclear explosion just now, it might not be able to kill him. That guy could reappear at any time. ”
"You mean Adric?" Chen Xiaolian smiled and poked his head out of Qiaoqiao's shoulder: "Don't worry, it's been solved." ”
"What?!"
The tires suddenly became stupid.
"You...... Kill him?!"
The tire looked at Chen Xiaolian hesitantly.
Adric's recovery ability is too perverted. Although Xia Xiaolei's parasite armor can quickly heal the injuries on his body, once the armor core in the center of his head and torso is damaged, it is also fatal.
Moreover, his cell division to repair his injuries also requires a lot of energy.
Even the restoration of the Heavenly Flame requires a large amount of metal as a material. Like Adric, who can restore the recovery ability of the entire body by relying on a small piece of meat alone, almost does not look like a human anymore.
It's like ...... Sharu!
"It's not a killing, but it's been solved. Aren't you worried about my words?" Chen Xiaolian patted Qiao Qiao's head and walked out of her arms: "Wouldn't it be nice to take a look at your personal system." ”
The tires then remembered to check the status of the task.
Sure enough, the personal system showed a message that the Juggernaut had died, indicating that the quest had been completed.
I was still in a coma just now, and I didn't check the notification for the first time.
But......
Strangely, the countdown to the end of the dungeon froze!
Since Adric devoured the alien embryo and became the master in its place, the quest should end after being defeated as a quest boss.
"Don't worry. Chen Xiaolian waved his hand at the tire: "I did the stop of the countdown to the end of the dungeon." ”
"You...... Tires were taken aback again: "Why do you want to do this? No, the point is, how can you have such ability!"
"Because we still have an old friend to clean up. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Haven't you ever wondered, what's going on with these nuclear bombs?"
"With such a serious crisis, it's normal to drop a nuclear bomb, right?" Tire looked at Chen Xiaolian strangely: "Isn't this kind of plot often in Hollywood movies?"
"Then there are no hundreds of them thrown down to wash the floor together!" Chen Xiaolian rolled his eyes: "Okay, you guys wait here for a while, I have to deal with that zombie dragon guy first." The guy's mind...... It's just too dangerous. ”
"Zombie Dragon?" Roddy had already woken up, and then suddenly interjected in surprise: "He...... How could he be in this dungeon? This is a copy of North America, he will not be drawn from Greater China, and we are here to participate on our own!"
"You can take the initiative to participate, can't he?" Chen Xiaolian shrugged: "What's more...... He probably found out that you paid attention to this copy and deliberately sneaked in after you. ”
"This bastard!" Roddy immediately understood, gritting his teeth.
In the past six months of cooperation, the Zombie Dragon team has gained a lot of benefits, but it is clear that they will not gain more than the Meteorite team.
And with the mind of the zombie dragon, even if Tire and the others deliberately concealed it, after participating in the dungeon so many times, he must have already guessed that the Meteorite Clans had obtained some way to check the detailed task list of the dungeon.
And after the Meteorite Clan stopped cooperating with them, the Zombie Dragon was certainly not reconciled and allowed the Meteorite Clan to continue to develop at such a terrifying speed.
"If you can't get it, will you destroy it?" Tire spat viciously: "How can this grandson be like a resentful woman?"
......
"This can't be! it can't be!
Tong Youyi smashed the champagne glass in his hand to the ground, his face flushed, almost crazy.
In the two minutes just now, all the nuclear bombs fell on the intended target location.
On the notebook in front of him, the picture of a high-altitude reconnaissance plane coming from a distance was being displayed at this moment.
Countless fireballs rose into the air at the same time, dense one after the other, and then turned into a tall mushroom cloud.
The location he marked just now, there are no dead ends left, especially focusing on the location of the Rosemont Nature Reserve, that is, the coordinates of the juggernaut prompted by the system.
Around that one point alone, Tongyu drew dozens of crosses.
But now in the personal system, that damn bright spot still hasn't disappeared.
It was located in a position that was clearly beneath the fireball of the nuclear explosion displayed on the screen.
But the juggernaut didn't die!
Bang bang bang!
"Mr. President?"
There was a knock on the door, and a woman's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. President, are you alright?"
"Don't bother me!"
With a bang, Tong Yu picked up the wine bottle and threw it away, slamming it on the door.
......
The female secretary outside the door shrank in fright and shook her head at the few bigwigs behind her.
"Forget it...... Don't touch the mold anymore. The Minister of Defense shook his head at her: "Mr. President, he is in a bad mood, and this is a matter of course. Half of California was scorched earth by hundreds of nuclear bombs, along with all the citizens above. I think...... Mr. President should be worrying about how to explain this incident to the people. ”
"Come on, don't talk as if he's really going to be upset by this......" The director of the CIA sat down in his chair dejectedly: "I seem to have seen it...... The most powerful nation on the planet has fallen. ”
......
"Deacon, what the hell is going on!" Tong Yu clenched his fists hard, his eyes still staring at the mushroom cloud on the screen: "What is the boss in this dungeon! So many nuclear bombs can't blow it up, how is this impossible!"
Zombie Dragon, still dressed as a White House Special Intelligence Unit, sat in a chair, elbows propped up on the table in front of him, chin resting on the back of his hands, and looked at the screen with a gloomy face.
"Maybe ......" Zombie Dragon pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "This so-called alien master is hiding in a cave, and because of the depth, it will escape the direct impact of the nuclear explosion. ”
"So what do we do now?" Tong Yu gasped, "Or...... I ordered another round of nuclear bombs to be fired, using ground-penetrating warheads, and concentrating on that coordinate!"
“...... No. Zombie Dragon shook his head slightly: "This is completely unreasonable, it will expose you." And...... It doesn't necessarily work. ”
"Then let's go to the location of the coordinates and kill that boss!" Tong Yu clenched his fists: "Even if that damn juggernaut is not killed, at least all the mutants around it, and other creatures can't survive." There is only one enemy, and we will attack with all our might, and it should not be difficult to solve. ”
"Let me think about it. The zombie dragon waved his hand and closed his eyes.
After a long while, he reopened his eyes and shook his head: "Forget it, let's give up this mission." ”
"What?!"
Tong You's eyes widened: "Deacon, you ...... If you can't kill the boss, our whole team will be punished! 1,000 points will be deducted from each person, and the point rewards will be halved in the next three dungeons!"
"My mantra in life is to never take any risks. The zombie dragon said in a deep voice, "This copy is too weird. I don't know if it's because of the participation of the Meteorite Sentai that triggered a hidden mission, which greatly increased the difficulty. In short, since this boss can't even be destroyed by a nuclear bomb, it's best not to get close to it, whatever the reason. ”
He glanced at the time: "There are still more than sixty hours until the end of the dungeon, and we have now obtained legal official status and can stay here in Wickenburg quite safely." Just wait for the time to run out. As for the system's failure penalty - the loss is only points, and it will not be erased and does not need to enter the punishment dungeon, which is already very slight. Compared to the danger of being directly on the battlefield, we can afford this loss. ”
"That's ...... Points?" Tong Yu smiled bitterly: "Deacon, don't forget, we don't have a meteorite team to cooperate with now. Even if the Juggernaut was still alive, there was no way that anyone in the Meteorite Clans would survive such a dense nuclear explosion...... We're not earning rewards as fast as we used to!"
"I've decided. The zombie dragon replied in an unquestioning voice, "Ever since I entered this quest, I have always had a sense of foreboding. Safely, this is the order. ”
"Good...... bar. Tong You could only nod.
Although he was still not so willing, at least after the Starfall team split from the Thorn Flower Cluster and Zombie Dragon became a deacon in Greater China, he did not make a single misjudgment.
So this time...... I can only trust his decision.
"It's just that you're going to have to work harder. Zombie Dragon smiled at Tong You: "For the next three days, you have to continue to play the role of this president." And we, the members of the White House special intelligence forces, you have to make good arrangements. ”
"I'm pretty good at acting now. Tong You sighed: "But I just dropped the nuclear bomb, and I'm afraid that the president of the United States in the past few days is not very good...... Wait!"
Tong Yu suddenly jumped on the spot.
The coordinate point on the personal radar, which had been lit up until just now, suddenly went out at the last moment!
At the same time, both of them received a system notification of the death of the Juggernaut.
"It turns out that it's just a lingering breath!" Tong You slammed the table in front of him hard, shaking the notebook on the table: "The vitality is quite tenacious, and it took so long to hang up!"
Zombie Dragon's expression also instantly lit up with joy.
His judgment is the same as Tongyou, although the boss of this dungeon did not die just now, he has already been hit hard, but it was only delayed for a few more minutes.
But......
The joy on the dragon's face flickered.
The previous quest hint made it clear that as soon as the Juggernaut died, the quest would be over.
But the countdown to leave the dungeon has not appeared until now.
"Quiet ......"
The zombie dragon looked up sharply and looked at Tongyou, "Have you received a kill reward?"
"Ahh
Tong Yu was stunned for a moment, and his face changed: "No! I have received a large number of reward points for ordinary mutants here, but there is no master......! You can't get a reward for killing like this, can you?"
"No, it won't ......" Zombie Dragon shook his head slowly, his face pale: "You did the order to launch the nuclear bomb, as well as the final password input, according to the rules of the dungeon, as well as our previous experience, the kill reward must belong to you." What's more, you've already obtained the rewards of other mutants in the early stage, so unless- this boss didn't die from a nuclear bomb!"
"It's not...... Die from a nuclear bomb?!" Tong Yu blinked twice and exclaimed, "Then what else is possible?Deacon! Don't tell me that one of the other participants survived the nuclear explosion and killed the boss!" Look at the screen!"
The notebook still shows the footage from the reconnaissance plane.
"The radioactive dust hasn't dissipated, and the ground there is still a piece of magma!" Tong You shouted heartbreakingly: "Even if the Juggernaut lasts for a few minutes, who else can kill it!"
"Although it may sound very impossible, but-" The zombie dragon gritted his teeth, "After eliminating all impossibilities, even if it is nonsense, the rest must be the truth." ”
"I ...... I'm going to gather all my forces at once!" Tong Yu wiped the sweat from his head and turned to walk towards the door.
"Stop!" Zombie Dragon glared at Tong Yu fiercely: "Can you grow your brains!"
"How...... What's wrong?" Tong Yu stopped, looking at the zombie dragon suspiciously.
"If the other party is really a guy who can kill the boss with a nuclear explosion, no matter how many U.S. troops there are, they can't stop him. Such a large-scale transfer will raise suspicions. Sweat also oozed from the forehead of the zombie dragon: "No, maybe Wickenburg is already exposed now." Launching a nuclear bomb to clear out the Resident Evil is a normal reaction, but we are launching too many and too many of them. If the other side is also a smart person, they will definitely suspect that we have infiltrated the US government. ”
The more the zombie dragon continued, the clearer the thoughts in his mind became, and he suddenly stood up from his chair: "Leave immediately! You can't delay here for a minute, find a remote small town to hide, the sooner the better!"
It was the first time that Tong Yu saw such a frightened expression on the face of the zombie dragon, and hurriedly walked towards the door.
In order not to be too suspicious, after pressing the launch button, Tongyou followed the instructions of the zombie dragon and asked the other team members to wait outside with those high-ranking government officials, leaving only two people in the conference room.
Now what he has to do is to immediately find a random excuse to leave Fort Wickenberg with all the "White House special intelligence units".
As for what will happen to the sudden disappearance of this president...... Tongyou can't control so much anymore. Anyway, the task of the copy has been completed, and there is no need to rely on the power of the US military again.
The question is...... How long do you need to hide?
The boss is dead, but when exactly will the countdown to the quest appear?
A day, a month, or a year?
"Long time no see, Deacon Zombie. ”
Just as Tongyu's hand pressed on the doorknob, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
