When I got home, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun is shining and the temperature is scorching.

Fortunately, I spent all the way in an air-conditioned car, got out of the car, and immediately entered the house.

In a bookstore that is warm in winter and cool in summer, the temperature of the bookstore is always a suitable 20 degrees Celsius, no matter what the climate is outside.

Therefore, Lingping did not sweat a single drop.

But......

He felt a little thirsty, so he picked up his teacup and made himself a cup of tea.

Meow!

Kitten Best barked softly.

Ling Ping'an smiled and divided half of it to his pet.

One person and one cat, sitting at the counter in this hot summer, drinking fragrant tea, feeling that the world is extremely peaceful.

After drinking the tea, Ling Ping'an felt a little hungry.

So, I took out my phone and ordered a beef rice bowl.

………………………………

Walk through the raging sand.

Ran Bing crossed a barren canyon with a blank face.

In the sand and dust ahead, there were shadows, and there seemed to be a building complex on the surface.

She couldn't help but frown.

Because, she saw, there was a faint light in those buildings!

And as we all know, since the collapse of the old world, the surface is no longer suitable for life!

"Is it ......," she thought, "an umbrella?" ”

So, she immediately became excited.

The rifles in their hands let out a low roar.

That's the bullets dancing!

Ran Bing soothed it, then switched it from rifle form to revolver form.

The magazine was opened, eight bullets, and cheered to change shape.

From a high-explosive armor-piercing projectile designed to kill Crimson, it has become a non-lethal stun bomb.

This is her spear spirit, the latest ability to cultivate.

You can switch the form of the bullet!

Depending on her needs, she can switch between high-explosive armor-piercing shells, stun bombs, and grenades at any time.

Of course, different bullets consume differently.

Like high-explosive armor-piercing shells, now, she can only have a maximum of eight rounds at a time.

And the stun grenade is twelve rounds.

As for grenades, it's just one shot!

If she wants to increase, she must use her own flesh and soul to refine bullets!

Fortunately, she can fight to raise war, and in this world, there are scarlet beasts!

Therefore, there is no problem of consuming too much.

With the revolver in his hand, Ran Bing cautiously approached the building in front of him.

When she got closer, Ran Bing realized that this complex was different from the ruins of the old world she had seen before.

It is built in the middle of a dry lake.

All the buildings are relatively flat.

In the dust, a searchlight constantly illuminates everything around.

There was a faint figure of a human figure, swaying on the tower.

Ran Bing crawled, and in the sandstorm, he leaned over cautiously.

On the periphery of this complex, there is a high wall, and if you look closely, you can see that there are heavy machine guns on the high wall.

A man in exoskeleton armor, moving around the wall.

Ran Bing lay in the dust on the ground, looking up at their equipment.

The silver streamlined exterior is full of the art and beauty of technology.

Needless to say, that's something that only the old world can make!

Looking at this, Ran Bing clenched his fists.

She moved slightly, closer to the high wall.

At this time, the murmur in my ears suddenly rang: "Here are the relics of the Kunyang people......"

"Huh?"

The murmur whispered softly, "Yes, this is the remains of the Kunyang people!" ”

Ran Bing raised his head and looked at the top of the high wall.

She knew she was close to the truth.

But......

How is she going to get in?

Look at this heavily guarded place, surrounded by high walls, power grids, heavy machine guns, and even turrets.

Ran Bing was a little clueless.

"Fifty meters ahead, turn right ......," the murmur in his ear suddenly said.

Ran Bing did so.

She crawled, slowly moving forward in the sandstorm, carefully avoiding the searchlight.

A few minutes later, she moved to a corner beneath the high wall.

There are blind spots here, and searchlights can't shine through.

"Dig up ......the dirt," murmured.

Ran Bing thought about it and did so.

She carefully used her hands to scrape away the dirt beneath her.

She was digging the soil very quickly, and it didn't take long for a large pit of tens of centimeters to be dug out.

At this time, she saw that at the bottom of the pit, a metallic hue appeared.

That's the color of bronze.

"What is this?" Ran Bing stretched out her hand and touched it, and she touched the surface of the metal, which had a strange evil pupil.

"Twist it!" "Turn left three times, turn right three times, repeat this process ten times!" ”

Ran Bing did so.

She writhed the bulging pupil slightly.

Sure enough, it can be rotated, three times to the left, three times to the right, and so on ten times.

There was a click, and it seemed like some mechanism had been opened.

Smack!

The whole land is opening and collapsing!

Ran Bing followed!

And at this time, the guards and guards above her head finally found out.

One after another, wearing streamlined exoskeletons, like metal men, fell from the high walls.

"Oops!" They looked at the place where it had collapsed and fallen: "Intruder! ”

"Tell Dr. Karman!"

………………………………………………

Ran Bing descended with the collapsed soil and metal.

After at least a few hundred meters of landing, she finally saw the light.

It was a dark blue light!

Syllable!

Soil, stones, and metal fell together in the vast underground world with a dull loud noise.

And Ran Bing had already jumped into the cave on the other side.

At this time, she realized that the dark blue light of this underground world was emitted by the bryophytes living in this underground.

Does moss glow?

And, can it be a light source?

That in itself is surprising enough.

"Onward!" The whisper in my ear whispered.

Ran Bing, picking up the revolver, looked at the front of this cave, and there was a pipe at the end that seemed to be man-made.

Ran Bing walked over and walked to the pipe, and with the light emitted by the bryophytes in the cave, she could see the inscription on the pipe clearly: Umbrella!

Exactly the umbrella!

That old world organization that has disappeared!

Ran Bing tried to drill into the pipe, but unfortunately failed, because the pipe was too narrow!

But from the side of the pipe, she found a new cave.

So, she walked in, along the cave, all the way forward, and after walking about a few hundred meters, a man-made heavy metal gate appeared in front of her eyes.

To her surprise, the door was hidden.

She pulled it away with a slight tug.

It was pitch black inside the door, but when she walked in, she sensed a person entering, and a light began to light up.

What catches your eye is a huge underground warehouse!

One huge crystal jar after another, flooding it.

Pipes connected the crystal jars, which were filled with one humanoid creature after another.

They seem to have been dead for a long time.

But the body soaked in these crystal jars is still intact.

It seems to sense the human, the creature in the crystal jar, and suddenly rejuvenated.

Pair after pair of eyes opened.

Ruthless, cold, crazy......

They collectively looked at Ran Bing, and Ran Bing's scalp was numb.

"Ants enslaved by the Ladder of the Sun!" The whisper in his ear laughed.

"Ladder to the Sun?" Ran Bing didn't quite understand.

"The ladder of the sun is the tobacco of the Kunyang people!" The murmur said softly: "The Kunyang people grow these little things for fun, recreation......

A hazy picture flashed in front of Ran Bing's eyes.

Pyramids are built one after another in the ground.

One terrible plant after another, planted in the shade of the pyramid by certain creatures.

When they need it, they descend on these pyramids, pluck up bloody plants, grind them into powder, and inhale them into their noses.

In the swallowing clouds and spitting fog, paralyze yourself.

This picture flashed by, and Ran Bing was blurry except for the impression of the so-called Sun Ladder.

"For the Kunyang people, the Ladder of the Sun is a tobacco ......"

"But for most of the lower creatures, the Ladder of the Sun is a highly poisonous thing that can enslave and alter the mind......"

"These test specimens are poor creatures who have been distorted after being injected with the stock solution of the Sun Ladder!"

"They've become slaves to the Ladder of the Sun!"

"Hopeless!"

Ran Bing listened, but his scalp was numb.

Because she finally realized that the Umbrella Company was using humans for live experiments!

These monsters in the crystal jar are the ones they made!

"Is there a way to ......" Ran Bing looked at the monsters in those crystal jars, thinking that they might be the same kind, and couldn't help but ask, "Can you free them?" ”

"Simple ......"

"Find the source of their enslavement!"

"Destroy it!"

"When the Ladder of the Sun is destroyed, all creatures enslaved and controlled by it will decay simultaneously!"

"Otherwise, they will never be freed!"

"Then ......" Ran Bing asked, "Where is the Sun Ladder?" ”

"In the pyramids!" Whispering.

Ran Bing immediately took the revolver in his hand, turned around and walked out of the room.

She's going to find that pyramid and destroy the so-called Ladder of the Sun!

As soon as he went out, a man wearing white exoskeleton armor appeared from the cave in front of him.

"Intruder!" He raised his weapon indifferently.

But Ran Bing was faster than him, and the revolver in his hand sprayed a shock grenade!

Rumble!

The bright light enveloped his entire vision, leaving him blind, and at the same time, a loud sonic boom was heard, paralyzing the nerves of his whole body!

Even though, he has been transformed.

However, in this inexplicable explosion, he was still completely paralyzed!

The moment Ran Bing pulled the trigger, he went against the light.

The stun grenades fired by her spear spirit are ineffective against her.

She quickly ran to the man who was already limp on the ground, and easily grabbed the exoskeleton armor he was wearing.

Prompted by the whispering sound in his ear, he easily unfastened his exoskeleton armor.

Drag a thin man out of it.

Ran Bing glanced at him, and his pupils suddenly dilated!

This person......

It's not human!

To be precise, the guy she held in her hand was a mixture of a human being and some unknown creature!

"As a low-level creature, it can actually fuse the genes of the upper race!" Even the whisper in Ran Bing's ears was surprised: "Although, the fusion was not very successful, but this is already a miracle in itself!" ”

At this moment, voices were heard from all directions.

Obviously, the sonic boom has alarmed all the guards here.

Ran Bing didn't have time to think about it, he lifted the 'person' in his hand, and quickly moved forward.

Guided by the whispers in her ears, she quickly disappeared into the labyrinth of layers of karst caves in this underground world.

………………………………

In a daze, Charles woke up.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a strange cave.

He hadn't had time to figure out what had happened.

He felt the shiver and coldness of his soul.

A barrel against his chin.

The cold barrel of the gun, as if it were alive, some kind of predator-like monster was muttering frantically, trying to devour his flesh and soul.

He looked up, and in the blue cave light, he saw the person in front of him.

A cold girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was looking at him coldly.

The cold barrel of the gun was in the girl's hand.

"Charles!" The girl sneered and said to him, "I advise you not to act rashly! ”

"Otherwise, my spear spirit will eat you!"

"The Kunyang Type A gene that you fused and modified is a great complement to my spear spirit!"

The barrel of the gun in her hand hissed greedily.

Charles looked at this girl in amazement, a mortal who had not undergone any transformation!

However, such a mortal can threaten him!

Great genetically modified beings, immortal immortals!

Charles looked at the mortal and took a deep breath, he opened his mouth that had been completely distorted, the mouth like an insect's mouthparts opened, and moved one by one like a flower bud: "What do you want?" Mortal! ”

"Are you here to seek eternal life?"

In his opinion, this mortal must have heard some legends.

Dare to invade the great Eternal Base!

I don't know if I'm alive or dead!

The girl sneered: "Your so-called eternal life is not so much eternal life as a shell!" ”

"It's all a shell!"

"It's just a shell!"

Charles listened and swallowed, his snake-like pupils suddenly dilated: "How do you know? ”

This is the Eternal's greatest secret!

They stole the immortal genes of the Eternals!

But it also became the shell of the Eternal!

When the Eternals return, they will cease to exist!

It was this crazy truth that forced them to explore and discover and study all that the Eternals had left behind!

I hope to find a way to get rid of the fate of the shell!

But......

Now this secret has been revealed by a mortal girl who has not undergone genetic modification at all!

This made Charles panic immediately.

"How I know, it doesn't matter!" The barrel of the gun in the girl's hand pressed against his throat, and Sensen's chill came straight to his soul: "I ask you, did you do the collapse of the old world?" ”

Charles did not answer.

But the girl's expression suddenly became hideous.

Anger sparked in her eyes, and the trigger in her hand flicked.

Bang!

Charles's head was shattered.

The barrel of the gun greedily sucked the soul and flesh of this reformed man.

Soon, Charles' body turned into a petrified statue.

The girl kicked lightly, and the petrified statue immediately shattered into powder.

The girl let go of a nameplate in her right hand, it was the identity plate of this reformer named Charles, which contained all his information!

"Umbrella!" The girl raised her head: "I swear, I will destroy you!" ”
