After the man in black left, Sim Xue crawled to the place where Lucas fell and rang the distress bell.

Lucas's limbs and torso were crushed by the boulder, with only one head exposed, and the blood that flowed soaked through the rubble beneath him and merged into a stream, winding and scattering in all directions.

The man's eyes were closed, his lips were pale from massive blood loss, and his left tentacle was broken and drooping to the side.

Si Moxue trembled and stretched out her hand and put it on the side of Lucas's neck—it was so cold that she could barely feel the beating.

"No, no......" Si Moxue covered her mouth, trembling and desperate kneeling on the ground, her head against the gravel, a faint sobbing sound came out of her throat, and tears slipped down one by one.

The sobbing gradually turned into a howl, and Si Moxue lay on the ground, pounding the ground with both hands.

"Why, why, why, why?"

Si Moxue asked several whys in a row, she just wanted to be a wasteland hunter and be able to support herself in the oasis. Why does God play such cruel jokes on her so often? Take away the people around her one by one in various ways?

"Participants, please note that there are still 30 minutes left before the end of this junior wilderness hunter assessment, so please start looking for an exit in the maze to avoid missing out on the qualification due to being trapped in the maze."

The host's sweet voice sounded in the maze, reminding the contestants to pay attention to the game time.

Si Moxue stopped crying.

A moment later, the host's voice rang out again:

"Participants, please note that there are still 25 minutes left before the end of this junior wilderness hunter assessment, please start looking for an exit in the maze to avoid missing out on the qualification due to being trapped in the maze."

Si Moxue raised her head, her eyes were red, and there were still undried tears on her face.

She tilted her head straight and stared at the labyrinth's dark ceiling. Then she stiffened herself up from the ground, her limbs limp, her brain groggy from crying and lack of oxygen.

She began to regress, saying to Lucas as she did, "I'm sorry...... I have to be a wasteland hunter...... I had no choice...... I'm sorry I ......."

Si Moxue was finally overwhelmed, turned around and ran towards the outside of the labyrinth, every step she took seemed to tear her soul, some followed her to the oasis, and some stayed in the labyrinth deep underground forever.

Harvey followed Opus, collected the points early, and came out of the maze.

He refused to go with Opus to register his results, insisting on waiting for his father at the exit of the labyrinth.

At this time, it has been less than 30 minutes since the end of the assessment, why hasn't my father come out yet?

Just now someone used the distress bell again, and Harvey saw a group of people running into the maze with stretchers. I don't know why, he is always in fear.

Harvey stood in front of the exit, carefully observing each player who came out of the maze, trying to find out his father's figure.

The countdown on the stage showed that there were only 5 minutes left before the end of the assessment, and it had been a long time since a contestant had come out of the maze.

Where's my father?

Harvey's heart pounded as the countdown ticked, and the little uneasiness that had been deliberately ignored quickly expanded and took over all of his thoughts.

Wait a minute!

Who is the player walking towards the maze exit now?

"Sister." Harvey breathed a sigh of relief, and half of his heart that had been hanging was also relieved.

He took the initiative to step forward and supported Si Moxue, who was hobbling out: "Sister, have you seen my father?" ”

Si Moxue didn't look at him, staring at the light outside the maze and walking out step by step.

"Sister?" Simxue, who didn't say a word, made Harvey speechless.

Walking out of the dim labyrinth and standing under the bright skylight, Harvey found that almost all of Si Moxue's clothes were dyed red, and her face, legs, and hands were densely packed, deep or shallow wounds, and some were even oozing blood.

Harvey also noticed that Sim Xue's mental state was very wrong, her eyes were empty and numb, and her whole person revealed a lifelessness like a walking corpse after the vicissitudes of despair.

He seemed to understand suddenly, and he grabbed Si Moxue's clothes and howled on the spot.

Si Moxue dragged her injured leg, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, she limped to the scoring office at the end of the line.

"Please show your points badge." The staff at the points office couldn't help but look sideways when they saw Si Moxue covered in blood.

Si Moxue poured a bag of points cards onto the table.

"With a total of 497 points, congratulations on passing this junior wasteland hunter assessment and ranking 17th." The staff said after counting the scores.

"No. 1, what?" Si Moxue spoke for the first time after walking out of the labyrinth, and her voice was hoarse as if she had swallowed a nail.

"17th place, congratulations on becoming a junior ......"

"Nope." Si Moxue slapped the table and interrupted the staff's words, "Not the top ten?" ”

"Yes, the 10th place has a total of 573 points, and your score is not enough." The person who did it looked at the scorebook and said.

Si Moxue looked down at Harvey who was pulling at his clothes.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Harvey was so shocked by him that he couldn't stop sobbing.

"Give me your points." Si Moxue spoke.

"No, if you take the scorecard, I won't be able to pass the assessment." Harvey clutched his pockets, tears falling like beads of broken thread.

Si Moxue completely ignored Harvey's crying, broke the hand that held Harvey's pocket with one finger after another, and took his points card.

"That's enough, right?" Si Moxue threw the score card on the table.

"This ......," the staff began to hesitate.

There was an uproar in the audience, and the discussion was endless:

"Is this okay?" "Is stealing a sign a foul?" "It's not time for the game yet, can you grab the other players' signs?" ......

In the end, the staff still took the sign and scored again: "You have scored a total of 902 points, ranking first, congratulations." ”

The bell rang for the end of the assessment.

Si Moxue got the body modification reagent, and when she came out of the assessment venue, the western sky was already dyed light red, and it was already evening.

"Mutant beast meat, fresh mutant beast meat, sell it cheaply."

"Multigrain cakes, multigrain cakes, hot multigrain cakes—"

Itinerant street vendors selling raw meat, miscellaneous grains, and cooked food shouted loudly to greet passers-by in a hurry. Among them, some people will wave their hands impatiently and refuse, and some people will stop and choose carefully. Si Moxue looked at all this as if she was in a different world.

Si Moxue, who was covered in scars and covered in blood, had already attracted passers-by to look sideways.

After walking on the street for a while, Si Moxue couldn't stand everyone's gaze and turned into an alley next to the road.

Mountains of garbage are piled up on both sides of the alley, sewage is flowing on the ground, maggots are wriggling and shuttling in the filth, and an indescribable stench fills the air.

Hence the inaccessible track.

Si Moxue walked into the depths of the alley, trying to find a clean place to clean up the wounds on her body, but almost bumped into a person around the corner.

It was a young man, with a tall nose and deep eyes, and long silver-white hair draped around his waist. In the long and narrow peach blossom eyes with cracked eyes, the red pupils glanced at Si Moxue condescendingly.

Si Moxue jumped away in an instant, bared her teeth, and put on an offensive posture.

"Contestants?" The young man spoke, his words disdainful.

When he saw the reagent in Si Moxue's hand, he didn't know how to move, so he snatched it from Si Moxue's hand in a blink of an eye.

"What kind of garbage is this?" He asked with a disdainful look at the reagent in his hand.

"Give it back!" Si Moxue let out a low roar.

"What kind of garbage is this, I ask you?" The young man ignored Si Moxue's anger and played with the reagent bottle in his hand.

"You!" Si Moxue slammed forward, threw out a knife in her hand, and stabbed the man in the eyes.

A white light flashed, Si Moxue screamed, flew out upside down, smashed a piece of garbage, and sewage splashed everywhere.

A wound slashed from her shoulder to her abdomen, and flesh turned sideways. Si Moxue's already stubborn body reached its limit, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

The young man withdrew the long knife, looked at Si Moxue who fainted on the ground, and opened his thin lips: "Really...... I can't do it! Then he crushed the test tube in his hand and watched the red potion drip down his fingertips to the ground: "This kind of garbage, don't drink it." ”

The young man glanced at Si Moxue on the ground again, and his eyes gradually changed from indifference to confusion. After a moment, he sighed softly and turned to leave.

"Huh?" The young man stopped, as if he had discovered something.

The hideous wound on Si Moxue's body was gradually healing at a slow speed.

"This speed is not slower than that of ordinary coelenterate gene hybrids."

The young man became interested, and after observing for a while, he suddenly found that Si Moxue's clothes were torn, revealing the tight skin of her lower abdomen.

The tips of the ears of the "......" young man were dyed a pale red.

He took off his coat and put it on Si Moxue, and then carried her behind a pile of garbage to cover up.

After doing all this, the young man walked to the end of the alley, groped for a while on the bricks on the wall at the end, and opened a secret door.

The young man walked through the secret door, and inside was a secret room.

In the chamber sat a man with his back to the youth. The glow shone through the window, and the man's gray hair was faintly visible.

"Xuanqiu, you're here." The man heard the voice, did not look back, and said.

"Yes." The young man known as Xuanqiu answered.

"How's it going to do what I asked you to do?" The man asked.

"It's all done, and I've blown up that underground Colosseum." Genqiu replied.

"It's good to blow it up, otherwise I don't know how many lives will be lost there." The man sighed and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"One more thing." Xuanqiu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I met a non-hybrid in the Colosseum, and now she has entered the oasis. ”

"Huh? Non-hybrids? What does it look like? The man asked, slightly surprised.

"It's an Oriental girl."

"Toyo, girl?" The man stood up and repeated in his mouth, with surprise and surprise in his words, "Could it be ...... No wonder those people want to blend in with the assessment arena. ”

After a moment, he looked back at Xuanqiu with a serious face: "Xuanqiu, I command you, as long as this girl is in the oasis for a day, you must protect her from people with bad intentions, especially those in the central four cities. ”

"Yes." Although Xuanqiu was puzzled, he still responded.

There was silence in the secret room, and both of them were silent with their hearts on their minds.

The last bit of light had disappeared before I knew it, and the ethereal moonlight came through.

"How did the moonlight shine through the dusty sky?" Genqiu asked suddenly.

"Because it knows that someone walks in the dark."
