The world of ghosts and ghosts, New York City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this time, the Kun fighter plane was hovering over a square, and through the screen above the plane, I could see that the square below was now in shambles, and hundreds of zombies outside the square were surrounding the square, and there were corpses one after another on the ground in the square. Chu Xuan, Overlord, Zhan Lan, Ming Yanwei and Zhao Yingkong were protecting O'Connor, Eve, and Jonathan, and Eve was holding a child of about one year old in her hands. And Zero is on the second floor, sniping at the enemies below, and Qi Tengyi is beside Zero, protecting Zero. And Zheng Zha was on the edge of the fountain not far away, and there was a burning corpse in front of him, which seemed to have just finished the battle.
At this moment, Li Nan heard the prompt of the Lord God again.
"The world of gods and ghosts has a hidden side plot, kill the high-level lifeform Dhav, protect Alex from dying and not becoming a zombie, kill Duff to get a B-level side plot, reward points 5000 points, and the rest of the Middle-earth team members get a C-level side plot with 4000 reward points, if Alex dies and becomes a zombie, all will deduct 10000 reward points, no time limit."
"Damn, it's another task. Lord God, can't you stop for a moment? Li Nan scolded.
Then the Kun fighter plane exited the stealth state and landed on the square, and then the cabin door was lowered, and Li Nan said to the people below: "Hey, you all come up quickly, there are a lot of zombies surrounded by zombies outside, let's get out of here quickly." β
A few minutes later, the Kun fighter took off again, and in the cabin, Li Nan said: "What happened just now? As soon as I got here, I was inexplicably given a task, what the hell happened? β
Chu Xuan said: "We just joined up with O'Connor and the others, and then we were besieged by those zombies, and we didn't have time to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, and we only received the task ten minutes ago. Then they looked at Eve and asked, "So now can you explain what the hell is going on?" β
"Because the situation in the United Kingdom has become tense recently, we have applied for an immigration green card and came to the United States, originally planning to buy a manor in the east, and with our savings, we can also buy a large manor, but when Eve contacted her university professor, a senior archaeologist in the United States, she was told that the person had gone to the western part of the United States with the group, a place that was originally the remains of the ancient Mayan civilization, so we temporarily gave up the plan to buy a manor, and took the train to the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilization together"? O'Connor sat on the couch and told the crowd about their experiences during this period.
"When we arrived at the ancient Mayan ruins, the archaeological team was opening the gate of the ruins, and Eve and her teacher could only barely recognize some of the words on the gate, and there were two explanations for the meaning, one explanation was that behind the door was the hope of mankind for the future, and the other explanation was that behind the door was hidden the demon that destroyed the world, of course, the archaeological team would not stop there, so they opened the entrance of the Staircase Golden Tower and entered inside."
"To tell the truth, it doesn't look like a mausoleum, on the contrary, it's more like a workshop or a factory, there are a lot of small bronze tools in it, and the handles of those tools are wood, after countless years have passed, these pulling hands have completely decayed, only rusty tools remain, in addition, a large pit was found there, the pit was filled with the bones of countless people, according to the archaeological team, it was the place of living burial and sacrifice of the ancient Mayan civilization, a place to pray to the heavens, but."
Eve then took over the topic and said: "But the corpses there have all been deformed, many of them look like human beings who have been distorted, and a few of the corpses have completely lost the image of humans, and those idiots still say that it is a live burial, I have never seen a monster buried alive." β
"Then we went all the way inside, and finally found a golden mask embedded in the wall at the very bottom of this pyramid, and there are many frescoes and texts around this golden mask, and the archaeological team members have long been impatient, they happily took the mask and left the pyramid, but we found more things from those frescoes and words."
Eve walked over and sat down next to O'Connor, she muttered: "The mural recounts some things from ancient times, according to the above show, ancient humans were a group of apes, and then slowly became humans step by step, when humans were still apes, there were countless terrifying unknown monsters in our world, many of them have huge strength or special power that humans cannot match, and these ape-like humans have produced 'saints', not a 'saint', but a group The 'Saints' began to appear, and they led the ape-like humans to defeat the countless monsters, and then the apes survived and began to slowly become humans. β
"But the 'saints' began to grow old and die, and because the monsters were almost killed, the new 'saints' could not appear from the human race again, so the remaining 'saints' began to think of a way, and one of the 'saints' said that they wanted to let humans produce new 'saints' by themselves, so they built a huge space, threw humans into it, and then threw some monsters into that space, so that humans kept being killed in it."
"The other group of 'saints' thought it was too cruel, so they started to make something that could make humans become 'saints' as well, there was a group of people wearing robes and big crowned hats, they made some golden pills, and the humans who ate these pills would become humans similar to 'saints', and they all lived in the mountains with these 'saints', a group of people wearing cloaks' The 'saints' kept operating on the human beings to make them grow bat wings and wings, and these deformed humans also left with the 'saints', and there was a group of 'saints' wearing masks, and they made these golden masks, and when the human beings wore the golden masks, they would become the 'perfect people' closest to the 'saints', which is what the mural shows. β
"But what is shown next shows that what these 'saints' have done is in vain, and those who have eaten the golden pill and live on the mountain have gradually become cruel and have begun to attack those who wear robes and large crowned hats." The saints', but also divided into two factions in a country to tear apart, in the end they all died in the battle together, those winged humans, lost the ability to reproduce, and the two sides with bat wings and winged wings also began to tear apart, as their number became smaller and smaller, and finally all died in the battle together Those who wore gold masks, they turned into monsters themselves, and kept capturing humans as food, and seemed to have completely forgotten that they were also humans before wearing gold masks, but they seem to be very afraid of the sun, once the sun shines on their bodies, they will immediately become forest bones, and can no longer be restored to monstersβ
"So the actions of the 'saints' were completely unsuccessful, and with the death of the last 'saint', only that huge space remained, and that's all that was shown on the mural."
Eve's words were finished, but Zheng Zha and they were dumbfounded, all of this was too incredible, almost the origin of the "main god" space, and what happened before and after were all displayed on the mural, all this information harvest, but Zheng Zha They had never thought of before, but they didn't expect so many things to happen before.
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and said, "Then speaking of which, this monster is an ordinary human wearing a golden mask?" Is that ruin still intact? β
Eve nodded and said: "The ruins are still there, but the archaeological team has become zombies Yes, he was originally an ordinary old man, and after wearing a golden mask, he became what he is now, but he is not a complete monster, he is still a crippled product, he does not have all the power of that monster!" β
Zheng Qi and the others were all stunned, especially even Chu Xuan frowned, he bit his fingers and asked, "Why do you say that?" The strength of this monster is very strong now.,And the kind of monster you described should be very close.,If it's just a broken product.,Then the complete power of this monster is unimaginable.,It's impossible for a monster of this level to only have a little reward.γ β
Eve was stunned for a moment and asked, "What reward?" In short, the mural shows the fact that the golden mask is flawed and cannot allow the life form to completely evolve to the level originally expected, first of all, this life form has lost control of its emotions, and they will do whatever they want to do with the fluctuation of desire, and secondly, in order to maintain their own still existing life source, they must constantly suck human blood, and the last flaw is also fatal, they have no resistance to sunlight at all, no matter how weak the sunlight, Just a ray of sunlight will kill them completely. β
Zheng Zhe's heart moved, he suddenly took out the small piece of gold fragment from the ring, and he said, "Could it be that this small piece is missing?" By the way, that monster is so strong, how did you get this piece out of that monster's hands? β
O'Connor took the small piece of gold, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It's not our credit, it was Jonathan who took the opportunity to steal the golden mask, and the monster was chasing us at the time, and Jonathan was greedy for gold, so he sneaked back to the village to steal the golden mask, but who knew that there was a special connection between that monster and the golden mask, when Jonathan stole the golden mask, he went back to attack Jonathan, and he didn't know what happened, anyway, the building burned completely." , and Jonathan finally grabbed a gold fragment and got it back. β
Zheng Zha said with a wry smile: "I basically understand what happened A person like Jonathan who has plucked his hair can only steal the fragments of the Golden Mask, but you can imagine how strong that monster is, at least if Jonathan wants to steal something from me, unless I hold it tightly in the palm of my hand, otherwise what this guy stole first should not be sure to snatch it back from him." β
Jonathan smiled humbly, and he really dared to say "Awards, awards." With such words, this person really didn't know how long his face was, and Zheng Zha didn't pay attention to him anymore, but just asked: "If he gets this gold fragment, then can he make up for those shortcomings?" β
Eve shook her head and said, "No, but completing the golden mask is the first step for him to do, as shown in the mural, he needs a huge and complete diamond as an energy concentrator, concentrating sunlight into the forehead center of the mask in a beam, so that he may evolve again, and to the level of a 'saint', and the only person in this world who has that huge diamond." β
Zheng Zha was stunned and said, "Yes, it shouldn't mean the huge diamond that Jonathan once got, right?" One from the top of the Scorpion King Pyramid? But how would that monster know you have the diamond? β
O'Connor nodded: "That's right, it's that diamond, it's probably the only diamond in the world that can accumulate enough energy and allow him to evolve again, as for why he knew that Jonathan boasted about his diamond in a game with the archaeological team, and even drew the size of that diamond to the size of two footballs." β
"Sure enough."
Zheng Zha nodded, he looked at Chu Xuan again and said, "How is it, have you made any new discoveries about that monster's body tissue?" Is there anything else that can kill it but sunlight? β
Chu Xuan nodded, he took out a glass jar from the large leather bag behind him and said, "First of all, this piece of meat can be said to be a complete life form. β
In the glass jar, a small piece of pink flesh kept wriggling, and several tiny eyes appeared on this piece of meat, and even some tiny tentacles grew out of the flesh, and the size of this piece of meat was not right, much larger than the thickness of the little finger when I got it before.
Chu Xuan continued: "When we just got it, its size was only a small piece, and after that, I cut about a third of it from it, but after I poured some cow blood, it absorbed the blood, and it slowly grew to the current level, and from it there were also various organ classifications of living beings, such as visual organs, olfactory organs, etc., it can be said that such a piece of meat is already an alternative life form." After speaking, Chu Xuan took out several glass jars in a row.
These glass jars are all pieces of meat soaked in liquid, Chu Xuan continued: "I soaked this piece of meat with various liquids, such as soaking it with concentrated sulfuric acid, and after almost a few seconds, this piece of meat was corroded and cleaned like the flesh and bones of normal life, but this bottle is diluted sulfuric acid, look at this piece of meat." β
Everyone followed Chu Xuan's fingers and looked over, and a small round ball appeared in this glass bottle, the surface of this small ball was covered with many small holes, and from time to time bubbles came out of this small hole, Chu Xuan said, "Do you understand?" In a very short period of time, the lump of meat began to evolve to resist acid corrosion, and it planned its surface into an isolation layer similar to an air bubble film, and although the outermost layer was completely necrotic, the meat block in the center was still alive."
"In addition to the acid, the reaction of the strong alkali is almost similar, only this normal saline has a new change, and you have seen the evolution of the meat in the empty thing just now, right? This is the evolution of meat blocks in saline."
Chu Xuan pointed to the last glass bottle, in which floated a thin piece of meat, which looked like a single-layer jellyfish, so thin that it was almost transparent, it floated on the surface of the saline and kept breathing into the air, it really looked like a sea creature.
After Chu Xuan showed everyone these glass bottles, he said indifferently: "Everyone understands, right?" This piece of meat is not the same as our piece of meat in nature, basically it can be thought that the maker of the golden mask was originally intended to allow the person wearing the mask to be able to control his genes, but in fact, because of the failure of the experiment, the life form wearing the mask was not able to control its own genes, but let the genes control them, and the result is that each cell has its own life form, just like a collection of amoeba worms, every cell has such vitality, And countless such cells are combined to become that monster.,So it's not the monster that controls the evolution of the cell.,It's the cell that evolves itself when it's in danger.,And then in turn controls the monster.,That's it.,The evolution of this monster is already involuntarily.,So it can already be seen as a monster with cells as a unit.,As long as there's a cell alive.,Basically, you can think that the monster itself is still alive"
"Sure enough, it's a team task of B-level difficulty, basically a careless, we will never be able to complete this task, the only fortunate thing is that there is no time limit for this task, and there is no punishment for not completing it, otherwise we will all die here."
The people around them were silent for a while, especially O'Connor, they could be said to have understood or not, but the general situation still understood, that is, this monster has a very strong vitality, and it is basically difficult to kill him, and if one is unlucky, it is likely that many meat monsters similar to that monster will appear.
At this moment, Li Nan said: "In fact, several problems can be found in Chu Xuan's experiment, first of all, their evolution is shared, that is, one of the individuals has obtained evolution, and the other individuals have also obtained the same evolution, for example, the strong acid experiment has made the other individuals gain strong acid resistance. So there is a question, is its evolution reversible? β
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and said, "Evolution can be reversed?" What do you mean...... Indeed, if there is such a fatal flaw, it is no wonder that it is defined as a failure. If their evolution is shared and irreversible, then the next time they fight, there will be a way to eliminate it to the bottom. β
Then Chu Xuan asked Li Nan again, "Then what about the one you said before?" Is there any trouble? β
Li Nan nodded and said: "Yes, I also received a mission from my side, but the number of enemies is too large, and there are several uncertain factors, and it will take a week to get information, so I came here to help you complete the task here, and then we will solve my side together." β
