Chapter 2: Zombie Elixir
There was an internal response in the city, and nearly 100 assassins of the "Weasel Monster Thieves" successfully climbed the high wall through ropes and entered the city.
The buildings in the Fort are densely packed, lined up like fish scales along the narrow streets.
The hands on the bell tower showed that it was two o'clock in the morning, and the streets were deserted.
The thieves quietly passed through the slum according to the predetermined route, and went straight to a manor with roses in the courtyard.
Next to the iron fence of the manor, there is a nameplate indicating the identity and title of the owner of the manor.
This is the residence of the Baron of the Empire, Maureen Banderas.
Tonight.
There will be a river of blood in the manor, and no one will survive.
Confirming their destination, the leader Quinn waved his hand, and the group of assassins disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Luckily, Wren didn't have to get involved in a head-on fight.
He and two other newcomers were drawn for a relatively easy task.
Instead of going to Morin Manor to participate in the assassination, they followed the new training captain Tiger to lift a manhole cover on the street and burrow into the ground.
The steel city has a dense network of sewers at the bottom of a spider's web, where they guard the perimeter and intercept survivors to prevent survivors from escaping.
......
After a short time, through the narrow sewer pipe, the four of them came to a stop at a large main pipe.
Despite wearing a gas mask, the rotten water in the sewer still doesn't smell good.
Carrying out assassination missions is a breeze for Tiger.
He found a dry place to sit down, and said to the three newcomers, "In case someone from Morin Manor escapes through the sewers in a moment, this is the way to go. Our mission is to hold this place and kill anyone who tries to escape from here. ”
"Yes, Captain Tiger!"
Hearing this, Wren and the other two newcomers stood up and replied respectfully.
This is the rule that the new training group has learned.
Tiger looked at the three nervous newcomers and sneered: "Hehe, you don't have to be so nervous, just find a place to lie down and wait for the operation to end." We don't need this operation. ”
A newcomer looked puzzled and asked, "Ah... Captain Tiger, are we going to set traps? ”
Tiger waved his hand disappreciatively, "No need." ”
Hearing this, the man asked, "But what if an enemy comes, and we don't have time to deal with it?" ”
"Accidents? Heh, the leaders are here in person, what other surprises can there be? ”
Tiger shook his head slightly disdainfully, as if he felt it was a ridiculous statement.
After a pause, he lazily explained, "The goal this time... That Dr. Merlin is just an [Advanced] who has broken through the two genetic locks, and Boss Quinn is a [Demon Hunter] who has awakened the three genes! What's more, even if they are of the same rank, a non-combat doctor and a demon hunter, who do you think has a chance of winning? Letting you newcomers come with me this time is just to let you gain knowledge, and I won't have a chance to let you do it..."
"Oh... I see. ”
The newcomer's eyes were shocked, and when he heard this, he put down the hand that touched the dagger at his waist.
"What's more, if something really happens, isn't Lao Tzu still there? I don't need you rookie imps to do it..."
Tiger sneered and took off his gas mask.
As he spoke, he took out a silver flask from his bosom, took a sip of wine, and squinted for a nap.
The mission does not allow drinking, but Tiger doesn't care about the old fritters, and the newcomer doesn't dare to chew the root of his tongue.
"Oh..."
Seeing the captain's relaxed demeanor, the other two newcomers also relaxed their guard and sat down on the spot.
In the corner, Wren, who had never spoken, took a few more steps and found a seat at the entrance of the passage.
Out of prudence, he chose a far sewer opening, where he could advance and retreat.
......
Captain Tiger is an old man in the regiment, with an arrogant personality, a thirst for alcohol and lust, and his strength is not ranked in the regiment.
Because of his old qualifications, he mixed up the identity of a rookie instructor.
But even so, Wren didn't dare to underestimate this guy at all.
Because... This seemingly sick drunkard is an "awakened person" who has broken through the first-order genetic lock and has extraordinary power!
(Note: The first-order transcendent exclusive title [Awakened], the second-order [Advanced], the third-order [Demon Hunter], the fourth-order [Great Demon Hunter]...) )
Although this outing was the best chance to escape from this bandit's den, Wren did not dare to act rashly.
He was 100% sure that if he made the slightest move, this Tiger would easily kill him.
This is an instinctive intuition that comes to be crushed by absolute strength.
Even though he had undergone hellish assassin training this year and developed the skills of a thief who flew off the wall, he was still an ordinary person.
In front of this kind of "awakened person" who has awakened extraordinary power, it is like the gap between a child and a strong man.
This is a mysterious world where humans can awaken supernatural powers, and humans can break through their genetic potential and gain super abilities by taking genetic drugs.
Even the most ordinary first-order black iron-level genetic potion can make people have an ability increase 3-10 times higher than that of ordinary people.
That's speed, strength, toughness, perception, cell activity, neural response... and so on.
(Potion quality: Black Iron, Silver, Gold.) )
In terms of absolute strength alone, this Tiger, who has advanced beyond the ordinary for many years, has at least five times more strength than Wren.
Therefore, his current combat strength wants to escape from under Tiger's eyelids, which is absolutely wishful thinking!
......
Clearly, Wren was not alone in trying to escape.
After a while, Tiger was a little drunk, and he looked at the dark passages of the sewers with the eyes of the other newcomers, as if he had guessed something, and sneered.
"Hehe..."
He suddenly spoke: "The first time I left the base on a mission, 9554, 9623...do you two guys want to escape?" ”
“...”
was revealed the little secret in their hearts, and a trace of panic flashed in the expressions of the two newcomers.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I think that's how I came back then..."
Tiger didn't care, shook his head and said, "Little ghosts, I know you are unwilling, but you also die of that heart." Not to mention that you can't pass a trick in Lao Tzu's hands, even if you escape, you can't solve the poison of [Zombie Elixir], and you will definitely die within a month. ”
Hearing this, the two newcomers were like frosted eggplants, and they wilted in an instant.
"Look at 9527, just wait for the mission to be over. Why all those unrealistic delusions? ”
At this time, Tiger pointed to Wren, who was silent on the side.
This newcomer who speaks little, although his qualifications are mediocre, can be easy to discipline and worry-free.
Hearing this, the other two newcomers pursed their mouths and showed disdain: Hehe, a cowardly crane tail.
9527 is Wren's code name in the new training group, and the newcomer is not eligible to have a name until he becomes an official member of the "Mole Monster Thieves".
After all, more than seventy percent of newcomers will not live to awaken to the time of transcendence.
No one cares to memorize the name of a dead man.
Hearing Tiger "praise" himself, Wren still didn't speak, and continued to play his "little transparent" character.
But when he heard the [Zombie Elixir], there was an imperceptible gloom in his eyes.
The "Brain of Wisdom" is projected in the status bar on the retina, and a countdown is continuously displayed: [Unnamed toxin erosion, expected to be fatal in 26 days, 19 hours and 44 minutes.] 】
This is the method used by the high-level of the Monster Thieves to control the newcomers, chronic poison!
Even all newcomers have seen a guy who didn't take the antidote on time, had a toxic attack, and then was instantly drained of blood by a mysterious force, and struggled in pain for a quarter of an hour before dying...
"Gollum" poured another sip of wine.
Tiger didn't want his newcomers to make any escape, so he said in the tone of a passerby: "You newcomers behave well, and after you have made meritorious contributions and exchanged points for a genetic potion to advance the 'Awakened', it will be your time to eat and drink spicy." Hey... When the time comes, there will definitely be no shortage of money, women, and cultivation resources..."
Finally, hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the two newcomers.
Advanced transcendence is the beginning of the road of the truly strong.
And the "Weasel Monster Thieves" has a bloody reward system.
If you want to get an antidote, or an advanced transcendent genetic potion, you have to exchange points for it.
The so-called points are actually constantly involved in the task of killing and robbing...
When you have raised enough points, you will find that you have killed people in your heart, and you will no longer be able to leave this bandit gang that relies on burning and looting.
Wren doesn't want to become the kind of cold-blooded killing tool that is manipulated,
He wanted to find a chance to escape from this "weasel monster bandit".
However, Tiger's surveillance and the [Zombie Elixir] in his body have become the two shackles that lock his deadly throat.
But he didn't expect it...
The first time I went out on a mission, the opportunity came so quickly!
This well-planned assassination mission actually had an accident...
