Chapter Seventy-Three: Maroon
This time, the Maroon Twilight Extinction Scale is speculated by the Academy of Sciences to be related to concepts such as flesh, genes, and life, while the secondary concepts derived from these concepts are estimated to be related to flesh mutation, erosion, food, and the like. β
One of the team members was reading the words floating on the screen in front of him, and Bell hummed softly, but didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the campfire in front of him.
This time, Bell brought almost all his cronies and good team members, on weekdays, even when exploring the tower, not all the team members rushed up, and the number of people in the tower was sometimes a drag, so Bell usually only brought about ten elite members, but this mission, he brought nearly twenty people, almost all his henchmen and friends, which is very abnormal in itself.
Naturally, there were doubts in the military department, but Bell replied with the precursor of the extinction scale, the location of the mission was the backstreet, and Neos was a member of the legendary team.
But these team members who are familiar with Bell can see that Bell has something on his mind, and it is a very serious matter, otherwise Bell can't say nothing, and he won't tell them anything, this situation has been encountered in the past, and in the past few decades of exploring the tower, they will also encounter some desperate situations in the tower, and the more desperate the situation is to the limit, the more Bell bears everything alone, and how similar this situation is to those times, the team members can't not see it.
One of the strong men with scars on his face flipped the meat chops roasted on the bonfire, and he said to Bell: "Captain, it's not a matter to be so silent, let's all take a closer look if there is anything to say, anyway, now that the signs of the third extinction scale have arrived, all remote communications are gone, even if we have their nano monitoring systems on us or in our bodies, they are all useless at this time, and we don't have to worry about being known by them." β
Everyone looked at Bell, their relationship with Bell was exchanged for their lives, if it was peacetime, there was no threat of doomsday, then it was possible to be sowing discord by high-ranking officials, insidious and poisonous schemes, after all, all living beings are diverse, but in this world it is impossible, the end is coming, no matter how rich you are and how monstrous you are, it is useless, in the end it is still a dead word, so it is a more sincere friendship over life.
Bell also knew this, the nearly twenty people in front of him were all people who had a fateful relationship with him, and he couldn't be trusted by others, only these people he really dared to tell the secret with confidence, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I doubt it...... Neos of the legendary team, perhaps plus Cheng Xiao, and Kamparowski, who was sealed in the backstreets, they found a way to survive this extinction scale, or a tool, or a location. β
The nearly twenty people all exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, their eyes were shining, and many of them were muttering, no wonder Bell asked their wives, daughters, and relatives to leave the main street quickly, and follow them deeper into the back street.
Bell continued: " Everyone should know that I have a hidden extraordinary power, I can perceive the bad luck, many desperate situations have been survived by this, and this time, after receiving the task of finding Nyos from the military department, I immediately perceived that this is a hidden way of life, I am afraid that this is the third extinction scale, if others I dare not think so, after all, this is simply impossible, as if a miracle happened, but that is the members of the legendary team, they have created a miracle at the most critical moment of the second extinction scale, preventing the second extinction scale to wipe out all of us, if they can really create a miracleγ β
The people present are all good hands among the adventurers in the tower, they have experienced many hardships and dangers, each has enough strength and wisdom, and they also have great trust in Bell.
It seems that Bale's approach is very reckless, just having a hunch, and the association with Neos's approach and his original legendary team, he immediately made a plan to abandon everything and go to the depths of the back street, which seems to be a reckless behavior that leaves no way back and dies if he is wrong, but in fact, this is where Bale's decision is powerful.
The advent of the third extinction scale, no place is safe, every place is full of danger, there is no difference between the main street and the back street at all, it seems that the main street has various defensive advantages, all kinds of troops are stationed, all kinds of high-tech weapons, but the high-level people, as well as those who have experienced it firsthand, only know that in the third extinction scale, these are all made of paper, and the appearance of the precursor alone can't withstand it, not to mention the arrival of the real extinction scale, so there is no so-called safety zone at all, as long as you see through the psychological barrier of the herd, at this time, it is more hopeful to survive by escaping towards the back street, even if you don't mention more miracle buildings in the back streetThe sparse population alone determines that this is at least an area with less impact on the extinction scale.
The people present are all people who can see through the fog of conformity, so they all agree with what Bell said, and at this time the psychology is naturally grateful, but they don't have to say it, their lives can be given up for each other, and it's cheesy to say this.
After a while, everyone was given their own food, they drank simple drinks, and each other ate in silence, this was their tacit understanding, there had been an adventure in the tower, those adventures were not able to make a sound, the louder the sound would cause greater danger, and the danger in the tower was not only that, even if a certain world could speak normally, what if that world had a super-high-tech enemy, or a transcendent who was sensitive to sound control?
Over time, Bell and his teammates became accustomed to silence, not speaking unless necessary, or communicating in words, codes, or other means.
At this time, in the silence, there was a team member holding his stomach and making a sound, everyone immediately looked at him, and saw that he vomited violently, and the pieces of flesh that he vomited were wriggling, as if he was alive, or the muscles that had just been cut off from the living body, and the more he vomited, the more weird the pieces of flesh he vomited out, such as the appearance of carapaces, tentacles, organs and other things, and then he couldn't vomit out, and began to spurt blood from his mouth and nose.
Bell immediately took out a pitch-black dagger from his waist and yelled at the person next to him at the same time: "Start the soul information transfer program!"
Someone next to him immediately took out a pitch-black disc from the backpack behind him, and then this person typed something on the surface of the disk, and there was not a second before and after, he immediately replied: "Activated!"
At this time, the team member who was spurting blood, there was a bulge in his stomach, as if there were teeth in his stomach or a huge shot was expanding, and Bell rushed up directly with a flash step, bypassing its front, and inserted it directly into the back of his head with a pitch-black dagger, and in an instant, this person died directly, and his flesh also stopped expanding and mutating, and the whole person fell to the ground softly, and the smell of blood on his body even began to turn into the smell of beef.
This dagger is the forbidden weapon held by Bell, all the life forms killed by this dagger, no matter what it was originally, whether it is a plant, a fungus, an animal, or whether it is poisonous or otherwise, its corpse will be transformed into an edible type, and it tastes like beef, according to analysis, the nutritional value is more than five or six times that of beef, but the head and tail must be removed, only these two places are inedible.
It seems to have no useful function, but in fact, it is against the sky.
Although it is a melee cold weapon, this weapon can ignore some disasters and weird immortality, as long as the level difference is not too big, it is enough to restrain those disasters and weirdness, and kill it completely, for example, this dagger has killed a third-order flesh and blood, just in the short time that Bell came out of the tower, of course, I didn't try to kill the fourth-order flesh and blood, because the fourth-order flesh and blood is too powerful, and it is almost impossible for the melee cold weapon to come into contact with it, and it is impossible for Bell to try.
At this time, this dagger completely killed this person with its concept, of course, because the level of this dagger is only the origin level of the forbidden weapon, the lowest level of forbidden weapons, basically can only act on matter, it is impossible to kill the soul or a higher true spirit, which is suitable for the current situation.
Sure enough, after killing this person, the team member holding the disc immediately shouted: "The soul message has been successfully received, he is not dead, and he is not infected!"
All the team members were relieved to be able to survive in this situation, which was really the greatest luck, but at the same time, they also looked at the rest of the barbecue with palpitations, which in itself was too terrifying and terrifying, just eating a meal, and actually being infected by flesh and blood.
This unlucky team member, the meat he ate was activated and cursed in his body, and the pieces of meat that he spit out at the beginning were slightly better, but the more he went to the back, the more terrifying the pieces of meat he spit out, and even later, he would be devoured by flesh and blood from the inside, and at that time, even the soul and true spirit would be distorted, and it would be a complete death.
"Tell those who follow you not to eat any food, drink or water from now on, and inject a burst of life-sustaining energy injections every day......" Bell commanded with an ugly face.
Then he looked at his dagger, just when the dagger pierced the back of the team's head, he had a palpitation, as if this dagger was about to turn into a piece of meat at that moment, although it was only a momentary touch, and the dagger was also safe and sound, but he had been in contact with this dagger for so many years, he could not admit his mistake, just now, the infection of flesh and blood actually wanted to infect his dagger, this is a forbidden weapon!
"This maroon twilight may be even more terrifying than the previous two extinction scales combined......"
Bell looked up into the mist, deep in the back streets...... There may be the only hope.
