Chapter 10: Humanity

Under the system's request, Lin Ling finally put a loose T-shirt on her body, which was comfortable but would not affect the battle.

She had planned to pull out a tights to wear for the next battle in the cave, but she silently changed her T-shirt under the watchful eye of the system.

Sure enough, she still couldn't understand some of the inexplicable requirements of the system.

Stepping slowly into the cave, the sunlight from the outside world gradually dimmed as we progressed, and finally only some bright green flora on the rock wall lit up the path.

The dark environment was not too bothering for Lin Ling, she felt the information coming from her body, and walked indifferently in the downward sloping passage.

The narrow cavern was dimly lit, and fluorescent plants grew from the depths of the cavern, and a light breeze blew from it.

The system and Lin Ling glanced at each other, and saw a clear look in each other's eyes, so they nodded to each other and began their own preparations, one gradually changed his body to the same color as the wall, and the other popped out the sharp blade from the mechanical arm and began to move forward cautiously.

The deeper you go, the stronger the wind becomes, and some of the ticking sounds come from ahead.

On the surrounding walls, there are also some traces of artificial painting, in which the handwriting of the representative has long been blurred, but the strange shape shown on the pattern is very concerning.

Lin Ling bent over and stared ahead, she used the blade that popped out from her wrist to block her front and protect her chest, moving her steps inch by inch and moving forward very carefully.

However, the imaginary danger did not erupt until she reached the edge of the passage.

A colorful cave appeared in front of both, white.

Strangely shaped stalactites hang from above, and the downward sloping stone curtain reflects brilliant colors under the illumination of fluorescent plants, like a colorful curtain.

Underneath these stalactites, one small hole after another on the left is filled with milky puddles, in which droplets of water dripping from above stir up a splash.

Lin Ling couldn't tell what the stalactites were made of, and she didn't quite understand why the stones emitted such brilliant colors under the fluorescent light, but none of this hindered her appreciation.

It's beautiful, but I don't know if it's dangerous.

Lin Ling raised her hand to stop the system behind her, signaling the latter to stay where she was.

And she chose to step into the cave step by step, and the system didn't even have time to stop it.

Lin Ling looked around vigilantly and looked at the environment of the cave.

Stalactites hanging high above your head feel like they could fall off at any moment, and the stalactites stuck in the ground make this clear.

Some stalagmites on the ground were also messily pulled up from the ground, which made the already not very good view even more restricted.

Lin Ling walked and observed, and the shadows under her feet that were darker than other lands surged from time to time, and finally stopped in front of a clear stream.

She nodded at the system in the hallway, indicating that it was safe to come.

γ€οΌŸ The system said that it was at a loss.

"......" Lin Ling remembered that this little guy had only been with her for two days...... It's impossible to read your own hints, "Come here." ”

The muffled voice was a little hoarse, but it was especially noticeable in this quiet cave.

Lin Ling listened to her voice echoing in the cave, caught a place with a weak echo, and squinted.

She saw that the system had floated to her side, so she withdrew her gaze and pointed to the stream in front of her and looked up.

A confused expression appeared on the system's face, and it was not until the moment he saw something at the bottom of the stream that it quickly faded into horror.

As soon as it uttered a syllable, Lin Ling held down the sounder and swallowed the remaining bytes back into her body.

In the clear bottom-out stream, the water flows slowly, flowing over the white bones on the riverbed, driving some small bone residues to flow into the distance.

The dense skeletons were piled up in the stream, and the bones of different sizes made it impossible to distinguish which species there were, but vaguely, Lin Ling could still distinguish the human bones mixed in it.

There are adults and children.

The bones of the babies were curled up at the bottom of the water, and the posture curled up in a ball showed the posture of the previous life.

Lin Ling didn't quite understand what she had experienced before she died, but she knew that the existence that caused such a scene must be quite dangerous.

Because of the white bones under the water...... Not to mention hundreds.

It was the first time since the crossing that Lin Ling and the system had encountered human skeletons, and such a tragic situation made people wonder if there were still humans alive in this world.

But even if they survived......

Lin Ling thought of the big green eyes that were quite humane, and felt terrible, even if there were survivors, it would be more than lucky.

She looked in the direction of the bones, and what she saw was consistent with the weakest spot she had just heard, and she speculated that there might well be a new path there.

The system was still trying to analyze, and the little round face was full of unbearable but forced to look.

didn't say much, and as soon as the little guy's analysis beam went out, Lin Ling took him into her arms and turned around.

Stepping on the slightly smooth ground, the brown accumulation makes the ground of the cave undulating like waves, although it is beautiful, but it is quite inconvenient for Linling.

Wearing long boots, she walked cautiously on them, regretting that she hadn't changed her shoes before.

She walked to the end of the stream and looked at the small hole that was just big enough for a person to pass through.

The dripping water continued in the cave, and the minutes passed in the silence until a scream broke the atmosphere.

It was a clear and loud cry, and the voice close to that of a human woman reached Lin Ling and the system's ears through the walls.

This makes both rise at the same time.

Lin Ling realized that her expectations might still be wrong.

She couldn't tell for sure whether the caller was human, but the sound of movement from the other side of the hole made her frown slightly.

Originally, she had intended to carry out a surprise attack to avoid being attacked by monsters, but now the scream shattered the peace.

However, this also prevents her and the system from becoming the first target.

【Host! There's a massive red reaction ahead! The warning icon popped up in front of him, and the panicked sound of the system sounded in his ears, and Lin Ling also calmly drilled through the small hole.

An empty underground cavity came into her eyes.

She stood in the middle of the stream, looking at the figure running wildly on the rocks above, and at the dark figure of the figure that followed closely behind.

[Host beware!] 】

A strange scream came from the side of her ears, and Lin Ling raised her hand without thinking, and the blade that popped out of her wrist plunged right into the skull of the attacker.

When she turned around, a face with no eyes, nose and only a mouth appeared in front of her.

Lin Ling's expressionless expression was formed by the panic of the system, and she didn't care about the panicked system on the side, she raised her hand and looked at the creature that unfortunately bumped into her.

The monster's body is pitch black, in the form of a gecko, and its slender limbs are full of suckers, and the most interesting thing is the large mouth that is split to the root behind the ear, and the fine teeth are in the form of circles and circles, which looks particularly terrifying in the mouth.

Looking ahead, the figure running wildly on the rocks happened to meet her.

"Help!" The other party was stunned for a moment, and then ran down from above like a straw at the water's edge and ran all the way towards Linling.

When she saw this person, Lin Ling only raised her eyebrows slightly at first, but when she saw the black shadow, she was silent for a few seconds, and then turned and ran.

The skillful movements stunned both the man and the system.

γ€οΌŸοΌŸοΌŸ Host, what are you running??? The system was lifted by Lin Ling in his hand with a question mark on his face, and he looked at the black monster tide behind him and fell into confusion, [Aren't you here to fight monsters?? 】

Also confused with the system is the woman who is being chased by the monster tide.

She was wearing a brand new high school uniform, with a ponytail upright, and her immature face was filled with a "what the hell" expression.

"I'm here to fight monsters, but if you look at the number, do you think I'll rush up and get beaten?" Lin Ling stepped on the rock wall and distanced herself from the woman behind her by stepping on the protruding rock.

Although Lin Ling promised that she could solve it all, she still avoided this kind of scene where she would be beaten at a glance.

Lin Ling jumped on the rock, and the woman behind her also climbed on the rock, crawling towards Lin Ling with her hands and feet, "Wait...... Wait for me, pull me along...... I don't want to die. ”

The unknown high school girl crawled desperately, and the wave of monsters behind her was getting closer and closer to her.

If it weren't for Lin Ling's attentiveness and pulling the system, this little guy would have rushed up to help the woman a long time ago.

【Host! The system couldn't quite understand Lin Ling's actions, and when she wanted to break free, she was stopped by a look from the latter.

Lin Ling didn't look back, pulling the system and continuing to escape on the rocks, constantly avoiding the gecko monsters that pounced from above the cave, "What do you think is the probability that a non-offensive human can survive while staying clean in such an environment?" β€œ

She turned her head sideways, turned around and kicked the monster crawling from below.

The system froze at this question, and its struggling body gradually stopped, and it realized its mistake, [Sorry. 】

If this reckless act is carried out, it will lead to unimaginable disasters.

"Ahhhhh

The figure below was exhausted, and rolled off the rock with a weak hand, and the monster that followed her swooped down on it.

The system skimmed over and closed his eyes tightly, as if he couldn't bear to see the next scene.

Lin Ling took in the system's reaction, sighed slightly, pulled out the bone spear and jumped off the rock, slashing down from above.

At that moment, the splatters of flesh and liquid splattered everywhere under the heavy blow of the bone spear, and the angular bone handles smashed into the backbones of several monsters, forcing the latter to break and deform with the naked eye.

Screams erupted from the mouths of the monsters, drawing the attention of their companions who were about to pounce on the girl.

Lin Ling jumped off the monster's back lightly, stepped on the heads of several on the ground, and said with a smile while carrying the bone spear, "Come on, let's go together." β€œ
