"Click." The manhole cover lifts slightly, revealing a gap.

It's an abandoned world, and it's night, with dusk streetlights shining on the road.

From the roof of the building came the squeak of a monkey, and a figure ran wildly, and the figure of a gibbon flashed behind him from time to time.

The monkeys jumped nimbly around the building, stretching out their long arms in an attempt to take the person away. The person who fled for his life was panting, and if he didn't pay attention, his swinging arm was grabbed by a gibbon, and the whole person was dragged out of balance and fell backwards.

Seeing the prey in hand, the gibbon shouted excitedly.

At this time, their squatting companions suddenly let out a warning cry.

Corpse Raven again? The monkey looked up angrily, looking for the bastard who had been stealing food from them lately.

"Bang!" The manhole cover flew out into the sky, smashing the two monkeys from the shop signboard in a daze.

The huge mushroom rises, the handle of the umbrella is as tall as a man, and after flying the cover of the manhole, the mycelium scatters in all directions, like a large net, covering several gibbons.

The monkeys left their companions and turned and ran.

Mushrooms scrambled to emerge from the drains and manhole covers, chasing and blocking their prey.

Some of the monkeys climbed to the top of the tall buildings, while others broke through the glass and fled into the house, and the latter was unlucky, the exit was sealed, and the mushrooms judged the lower position, squirting mycelium from the shower head and the dishwashing sink.

When the mycelium lands, it grows in the wind, like a round cream squeezed out of a cake piping bag, and when the mushroom's unique umbrella cover is opened, the ground is instantly covered with mushrooms.

The screams were heard incessantly, and a hunt came to an end.

The people who survived the catastrophe sat in the mushroom bushes, stiff and motionless.

"The assessment is good."

In a flower shop on the side of the road, a young man with a table in his hand walked out, and he used a ballpoint pen to draw a tick behind the bold and skillful options, and at the top of the table was a digitally printed color photograph, which looked exactly like the person sitting in the mushroom bush.

The young man with the form walked into the mushroom bush, and the mycelium immediately became entangled. He was very calm and did not struggle, and when the mycelium realized that it was not food, he left bored.

So he walked up to the man who was almost taken away by the long-armed monkey, and then stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Yang Chao." Welcome to the Black Abyss, a survival group for an abandoned world! ”

After experiencing a life and death assessment of "assisting in feeding mushrooms", the person concerned turned pale, tried to ignore the mushrooms around him, and it took him a long time to get up.

"Brother Yang, hello, I'm Zhang Tao."

The name is in the table, of course Yang Chao knows, he glanced at the new member, and saw the other party's submissive look, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"You were abducted to the mountains, until a month ago, spiders attacked the bandits' dens, and the people with you were in a hurry to flee for their lives, only to be found by the spiders and eaten. Only you lay alone in a dilapidated house and pretended to be unconscious, waiting until the end of the abandoned world before you escaped and called the police, and finally were taken to the Haicheng Military Region by the state secret department Honglong to participate in a phase of paranormal survival training? ”

Zhang Tao's expression was surprised, and he felt that Hei Yuan was really powerful, and he even found out what he didn't say.

He has a lot of eyes and a lot of thoughts.

After being rescued, Zhang Tao originally wanted to stay in Red Dragon's secret base, but he accidentally learned that one of the fellow refugees who was imprisoned by gangsters was Guan Sheng, who was the brother of a B-level supernatural in Red Dragon.

After Guan Sheng's death was confirmed, the high-level ability was very sad, Zhang Tao's mind was wooden, and he hurriedly applied to leave the base.

When the spider attacked, he pretended to be crazy and faint, trying to get the others to break open the door and run out to lure the spider away so that he could escape. Unexpectedly, the monster was too ferocious, and none of the others ran away, so for the sake of safety, Zhang Tao had to work hard in the house, and finally picked up a life.

He didn't dare to say such a thing, and he was afraid that others would know about it.

If he stayed in Red Dragon, Zhang Tao was worried that sooner or later he would be exposed, so he hurriedly left Red Dragon's secret base, because the military had his identity record, Zhang Tao felt very aggrieved, and he urgently wanted to get rid of this invisible surveillance, at least to survive in the abandoned world.

Hei Yuan was what Zhang Tao heard from the mouths of other supernatural people.

I found this "popular science group" on the Internet, and after hesitating for a few days, Zhang Tao decided to make a desperate bet and choose the highest authority assessment.

One cannot survive in the forsaken world, Zhang Tao longs for power, he is not a powerful supernatural person, he can only hope for power instead.

He could see that Hei Yuan had unlimited potential, and only by becoming a full member of the organization at the beginning would he have the opportunity to climb to the middle and upper echelons of the organization in the future.

There are not many people like him who are as visionary as they are ready to gamble. The vigorous development of Hei Yuan is precisely because of the unremitting struggle of these people, although it is a group of people with impure minds, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but the objects that can be used, Li Fei will not let go.

As for the future, it depends on the appearance of people like Zhang Tao.

――If you are smart and interesting, it doesn't matter if you are a little out of line, and all arrogant and arrogant people will be eliminated.

As a real confidant, when Yang Chao presides over the assessment, there will be an "interview" with trust, and Zhang Tao's table is a little unqualified. concealed his experience, and judging from his experience, Zhang Tao is not the kind of person who has no opinions at all, but he prefers to pretend to be like that.

Drew a red cross for the new members in his heart, and Yang Chao put the form away.

"I ...... Can I ask about the properties of these devouring mushrooms? Zhang Tao put on a curious expression.

Many people with abilities know that mushrooms can be used, and when they run for their lives, they can just get into the mushroom bushes, but when they do this, they are also trembling, the scene of mushrooms eating the gibbon's black hairballs is close at hand, and the screams are also in their ears, which person stands in the mushrooms and does not panic?

Not the people of the Black Abyss!

That kind of determined posture made Zhang Tao directly suspect that Hei Yuan's people had found a way to restrain the mushrooms, but unfortunately he secretly looked at Yang Chao and did not find any strange items on the other party's body, nor did he smell a special smell.

"They don't have a trait, they feed on monsters in the abandoned world, and sometimes they absorb our abilities, so they don't use abilities in mushroom swarms." Yang Chao replied casually.

He parted the mushrooms and led the way in front.

There was dark red blood everywhere, and there was a gibbon at his feet struggling with half of its body.

Despite hating these monsters, Zhang Tao still felt shocked, and the contempt that had been seen Yang Chao to find out that the other party was also a low-level ability dissipated.

"Why are we bothering to feed these mushrooms?"

"There is a very troublesome monster chiseled gopher in the abandoned world, which likes to walk underground, and if there are no mushrooms to grow, it is a trivial matter for the road surface to be destroyed, and high-rise buildings will collapse."

That's why the state allowed mushrooms to take over the sewers.

In the eight cities centered on Huaicheng, the chisel-chiseled gophers have disappeared, and the black hairballs are nowhere to be seen, only the flying corpse crows and the reactive gibbons are still alive.

"But when they've eaten all the rats and monkeys, what's next?" Zhang Tao asked.

"That's not our concern." Yang Chao** threw out a sentence.

In fact, he was worried before, when he saw the mushroom encircling the gibbon for the first time, his eyes were bigger than Zhang Tao's, now! Khotan had already revealed to him that mushrooms were devourers, not creatures. If you don't eat, you won't die, and if you don't replenish your energy consumption at most, your form will shrink or even disappear.

It just so happens that Red Dragon's latest ultimatum wants mushrooms to lose weight.

"Report to Major, the boxes are all counted!"

Zhang Yaojin looked at the stack of metal boxes in the open space with a stiff expression.

Each of these boxes was too small with drawers, and even though the lid was closed, thin white filaments were emerging from the cracks.

――There is no food, there is no room for expansion, and mushrooms don't like it.

Jian Hua patted the box, and the mycelium slowly retracted.

“…… On behalf of the country, I thank you for your assistance! ”

Major Zhang's words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, several densely populated large cities in the north have collapsed residential buildings, but there is none in the south, and now the mushrooms have to be transferred from the south to the north. The mushroom thing is dangerous, but it doesn't work if it doesn't.

Jian Hua didn't have time to go to so many cities alone, and he didn't want to leave Li Fei's side, leaving the place where the mushrooms were completely entrenched, it was not safe enough.

Since the establishment of the Black Abyss, the relationship between the two S-class abilities and the red dragon has become more and more delicate.

The state is wary of them, and there is no conflict and contradiction for the time being, so it can only be said that the existence of mushrooms and the black abyss itself is a threat.

In the face of crisis, the threat can be ignored for a while, because the abandonment of the world has only been three months old......

"How are you going to get the mushrooms away?" Jian Hua asked.

There were hundreds of these boxes, and they were to be sent to the north, southwest, and central regions.

"Stuff it in a sealed freezer truck and release it when you get there." Zhang Yaojin also had a headache, these mycelium were controlled by Jian Hua, so they were not invisible, and their traces could be seen. However, in order to avoid the mushrooms from seeing "food" on the way and escaping, and when receiving the goods, he found that there was only an "empty package", and Major Zhang also racked his brains.

"The sooner the better, I don't know how long they'll be able to stay in shape when they're not eating."

When "......" performs dangerous tasks, they are most afraid of such accidents!

"We'll do our best to send things over!" Zhang Yaojin did not forget to ask about "unpacking and use", "What if I arrive at my destination and the mushrooms stay in the box and refuse to come out?" ”

This time it was Jian Hua's turn to have a toothache, and he was silent for half a minute before replying: "Put the box next to the sewer, as long as there is food, they will run so fast that you can't catch up!" ”

"......" seems to know something terrible.

What can be in the sewer? As long as it's a mouse, you won't refuse to come?

Jian Hua can't say that he is suffering, because he wants to be "safe", the mycelium is controlled by his subconscious, and the "troublemaking factor" is excluded, and rats and cockroaches are inexplicably included.

This awkward meeting was about to end, and Major Zhang suddenly stopped Jian Hua.

"Before January, the Chinese New Year's Eve sniper incident and the bombing in front of the Huaicheng café, we had already identified a small leader of the Holy Gate in China, who was a journalist, a person who bought off the head of a cleaning service company, and also instigated other reporters to deliberately shoot Li Fei with a flash after the lights went out."

Jian Hua didn't speak, but his eyes changed: "He escaped the pursuit of the red dragon?" ”

"No, he's missing." Zhang Yaojin smiled bitterly, "This reporter had already planned a retreat, wanting to escape to the northwest and then contact a dangerous overseas organization and escape from China, but before he arrived in Ganzhou, he had an accident on the way." ”

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhang Yaojin drew a simple map of China with the gravel on the ground, and drew a circle within the Gansu Province.

"This is it! Including the bus he was in, ten cars have disappeared here, dozens of cars have inexplicably overturned, and the members of the Red Dragon team who went to investigate the situation have also disappeared. Now that this section of the road has been blocked, and the scope of the anomaly is still expanding, Senior Colonel Lu hopes to get Hei Yuan's assistance, and we can further negotiate the specific matters and remuneration. ”

Negotiation of this kind of thing, Jian Hua thought that he couldn't do it, he thought about it and found that there was no harm, but he didn't agree: "I will let Li Fei give you an answer." ”
