Chapter 778: The Holy Maiden's Trial?

"Another batch?" I was shocked: "How can there be any?"

"Master, don't be surprised, now all the experiments of the Origin Project in South China and North China are here, and what we just encountered in the underground layer is only a part, and now it seems that ...... The Salvation Army sent all the test subjects near the camp......" said the holy woman.

"So...... They know what is going on here now, don't they?" I asked.

"That's for sure. The saint nodded: "A lot of the Salvation Army has fled just now, and it is inevitable that the news will leak...... I didn't expect them to be able to drive such a large number of subjects...... There must be secret passages connected to the Salvation Army around this underground level, and Yang Xinxiong seems to want to use these secret passages to let those test subjects surround us!"

"What are you afraid of!" Zhou Qiqi said with a disdainful expression: "None of the living people just now were able to beat us, and now these half-dead test subjects are not a problem!"

However, I knew that it must not be so simple here, otherwise the saint would not have looked so panicked just now.

Sure enough, then I heard the Holy Maiden say: "There are a lot of these test subjects, and they are not the same as ordinary Gu creatures, and they can't compete with the Salvation Army for control by simply using the method of lucid dreaming, that is to say...... We're probably not going to be able to play our only advantage now. ”

"Didn't you do that when you were in the basement?" I asked, confused, "you put so many children on the ground." ”

"That's different. The saint shook her head: "The number of test subjects in the underground layer is relatively within my acceptable range, and the terrain there is closed, so the Salvation Army can't effectively control those test subjects, but now it's different...... They came prepared this time, if I'm not mistaken...... There must be more Salvation Army following these subjects!"

"Didn't you say that Yang Xinxiong's main force was the one just now?" asked Nie Bi at this time.

St. Ann frowned at him, and then said to me: "Master, the Salvation Army has absorbed almost all the survivors of the two provinces, and their numbers have long since changed, even if the main force is exhausted, we must be vigilant. ”

"Don't talk so much. I shook my head and said, "I don't think it's possible for so many children to come! You know, all the ones I saw at the power plant were the corpses of those children! They were all corpses, how could they still stand up? Even if one or two could, how could it be that all the children's corpses would be resurrected? Could it be that there are people like me in the Salvation Army?"

"No, master, you do seem unique at the moment, but the failed subjects of Project Origin don't act in the same way you think. ”

"Oh, what's the difference?" asked Niebi, who asked from the side.

The saint seemed very annoyed when she saw Nie Bi's illustration, and she showed me that expression like I was covering her, but I didn't bother to pay attention to her, not to mention that Nie Bi's question was exactly what I wanted to ask.

Seeing that I was indifferent, the Holy Maiden had no choice but to frown and said, "Those failed test subjects are essentially simple corpses, but they have maintained their incorruptible properties after being strengthened by Gu magic. ”

"Since it's a corpse, how can they still move?" asked Niebi again.

The Holy Maiden took a deep breath, obviously trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and then continued: "In fact, it is not the corpse that can move, but the Gu worms in the corpse plus the help of the Gu technique, which makes these corpses completely become the growth base of the Gu worms. Master, I don't know if you have sent it, in fact, in addition to these children, the Salvation Army also has a more complete and large-scale creature for raising Gu worms......"

I reacted instantly: "You mean...... Those monsters like Tai Sui, made of the shredded flesh and skin of various animals, right?"

"That's right! That's it!" the saint nodded: "The production method of this creature is actually an accessory product of the origin plan, and later Wei Dongmei told them the production method of this monster in order to win the trust of the Salvation Army, plus the Salvation Army's own improvements, so that it became the current Tai Sui-like thing." ”

I took a deep breath, and when I dived into the island's underground buildings earlier, I had indeed seen Tai Sui's body in the flooded substructure, which was also one of the research bases of the team led by 3788.

"So what do you mean...... They're just moving corpses?"

"Yes!"

"Then why don't these bodies move over there at the power plant?"

"Because at that time, they weren't driven by Gu magic. The saint seemed to be a little anxious: "Master, we can't delay!"

"Okay, of course you can't delay!" I nodded, "Everyone retreat one after another!"

"No, master!" the saint shook her head and said, "I can't avoid these things, I can sense them...... These subjects have surrounded us!"

Nie Bi also nodded: "Xiao Chen, she didn't lie, I can also feel that the structure of this underground layer is much more complicated than you think, when I went down before, I found that there are a lot of underground passages connected to here, I'm afraid that this place can not only lead to the concentration camp, but even other supply depots are also connected to here." I'm afraid that the little ones came from these places. ”

"Where is it so evil as you say!" Zhou Qiqi still said to me with an indifferent look: "Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry! We have faced more dangerous situations on the island than these! Haven't we all resolved them?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Niebi immediately retorted: "No matter how dangerous the situation on the island is, then we are also dealing with living people! Now these are simply a group of moving corpses! The essence is different! Can you kill a creature that has died?"

"Then what do you say!" Zhou Qiqi looked obviously annoyed, but to my surprise, she didn't seem to dare to be too presumptuous with Nie Bi.

You must know that there was a strange "mother-daughter relationship" period between the two, and now I don't know if Nie Bi still remembers......

Nie Bi immediately pointed to the holy woman and said, "Ask her!"

The holy woman no longer cared about Nie Bi's affairs this time, but said directly to me: "Master, you are the guide appointed by the new god, since the new god has brought us here, there must be his reasons, so ...... As long as you're there, we're not in danger. ”

I frowned, the tone of the saint's speech just now was very strange.

First of all, she mentioned something that surprised me, she actually said that "SBC brought us here", which made me wonder what she had said to me before...... Could it be that this "new god" was deliberately teaching her?

Secondly, the second half of her sentence seems to be more like testing me, if I am really a "guide", then it can easily resolve the suffering in front of me, and if I am not ...... Am I not worthy of a saint to accompany me, and she would be glad to see me die?

At this moment, the voices of Niebi and the others pulled me back from my cranky thoughts, and it turned out that the corpses of those children had begun to emerge from the small castle.

The carcasses moved very fast, and I was amazed to see that as the children approached, the remaining elephants were in a commotion, like the reaction of a frightened horse.

I frowned and glanced at Dawn, who immediately told me that the elephants had never reacted like this.

However, Nebby said that they must have sensed danger to make such a move, and told me to be extra careful and make up my mind.

Mind......

Of course, I didn't know what to do, so I had to look at the saint again, but the saint's behavior at this time confirmed my previous suspicion even more, that she was indeed testing me!

I even have every reason to believe that the Holy Maiden may have a way to deal with it now, but she is more than willing to let me figure it out on my own!

Could it be that my behavior just now made the saint suspicious of my status as a "guide"? Wouldn't her previous pledge of allegiance to me be tantamount to farting?!

"Xiao Chen, they're coming!" Nie Bi urged me again.

I hurriedly took a deep breath, cleared my mind briefly, and loudly ordered all the people around me who could lucid dreams and manipulate Gu objects to do their best to pile up all the controllable Gu things in the vicinity in front of those children.

After all, I haven't actually fought against these failed test subjects of the Origin Project from the beginning to the end, and I don't know how strong they are, so I plan to use this method to probe their reality first, and by the way, I can also resist them for a while.

Soon, Zhou Qiqi, Amy and the others successively forced the Gu things we controlled before in the direction of those children's corpses, and in the blink of an eye, they collided together.

......

It was the exact opposite of what I expected.

I thought that there would be at least an unusually bloody fight between these two groups of Gu creatures, but to my surprise, they were at peace with each other!

"They're not ordinary Gu creatures. The holy woman spoke at this time: "They are just parasites of Gu worms, and they are just dead things in the eyes of ordinary Gu creatures, so those Gu creatures will not have the desire to attack these corpses." ”

"Damn, why don't you say it sooner!" I'm already a little angry this time, you know, it's not just me here, there are other people here!

The saint did not have the slightest resentment with my invective, not even any emotional fluctuations, she just glanced at me lightly, and then said softly: "Master, have you forgotten your evil worm?"
