"Bang bang!" Jian Zhiqiong was woken up by the knock on the door again.

"Have you gotten up?" said Zhong Yinzeng's voice again.

There was a faint candlelight in the cracks of the underground door, and it seemed that the night had passed, and it was the time of day. In other words, Jian Zhiqiong had already spent a day in the Castle of Despair.

"Get up. Jian Zhiqiong gently put Xiaoyuan in his arms on the bed, and stepped forward to open the door.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhong Yinzeng asked, standing in the doorway.

"It's good, I would have slept better without your interruption. Jian Zhiqiong quipped.

Zhong Yinzeng was confused, of course he didn't know that there was a "Zhong Yinzeng" that disturbed Jian Zhiqiong's sleep last night.

"When the meeting is ready, you and Madoka will come to the banquet hall, we usually distribute food at this time of the day. Zhong Yinzeng said.

"We also need to eat in the Castle of Despair, why don't I feel hungry in the slightest?" Jian Zhiqiong said.

"Eating is to survive, and if you look at the palm of your right hand, do you have a lot of black spots? In fact, we, the survivors, are counting down our lives every minute, but fortunately, we hope that the powder will slow down the erosion of the black spots. Zhong Yinzeng explained.

After Jian Zhiqiong and Zhong Yinzeng chatted for a while, they came to the bedside to wake up Xiaoyuan. The corners of Xiaoyuan's mouth are drooling, and she is cute.

"Strange, why doesn't there be any black spots on Xiaoyuan's body?" Jian Zhiqiong's heart was full of doubts.

Jian Zhiqiong didn't delve into it, and took the yawning Xiaoyuan to the place where he received the hope powder.

There are thirty people in the organization of Dawn and Dawn, and there are thirty-two people after adding Jian Zhiqiong and Xiaoyuan. Among the thirty-two people, except for Madoka, there is no other sex of the opposite sex.

Receiving the Hope Powder can be described as the most people's time, Jian Zhiqiong met two other spiritual power cultivators under Zhang Hu's introduction.

One is Wu Hua, who can use a small amount of spiritual power to treat the injured, and Zhang Bao's life was saved by Wu Hua.

The other is Liu Lao, the deputy leader mentioned by Zhang Hu earlier, who can detect the position of the caretaker in advance and can slightly affect the next behavior of the guard.

With Dr. Wu Hua, it is like an extra life for the survivors in the desperate castle.

Liu Lao's human radar is even more incredible, and it can also affect the guards, no wonder he has been able to live until now.

With Wu Hua and Liu Lao, the two logistics personnel, Zhang Hu and Li Mingchenxi lack a person who can resist the guards head-on. This is also why Zhang Hu was so happy to know that Jian Zhiqiong was able to successfully escape from the two guards.

"We will go out to collect hope powder later, Jian Zhiqiong, you will also follow us to familiarize yourself with our combat methods and cultivate mutual understanding. Zhang Hu said.

Jian Zhiqiong said, "No problem, but I have to take my sister with me, and I will take care of her safety and will not cause you trouble. 」

Zhang Hu saw that Jian Zhiqiong was very persistent, and knew that he was worried that something similar to Zhang Bao would happen again, so he could only agree with a wry smile.

Jian Zhiqiong saw that Xiaoyuan was playing with others at this time, and let out a "Gege" laugh.

Jian Zhiqiong saw that the person turned out to be Jian Zhiqiong's acquaintance.

"Zhang Chengfeng!?"

Zhang Chengfeng, a glasses otaku who was so scared that he couldn't even speak clearly when he was on a recruit mission that day. Jian Zhiqiong was in danger in order to save him, and almost became his substitute ghost and became the ration of the hell imp. However, it was also because of such an opportunity that the system suddenly appeared, and there was now Jian Zhiqiong. A drink and a peck, its own providence.

Jian Zhiqiong thought back, wasn't it Zhang Chengfeng who stepped forward to protect Xiaoyuan yesterday? No wonder the voice was so familiar.

"Hey, Zhang Chengfeng, yesterday it was all thanks to you Xiaoyuan that she was safe and sound. Jian Zhiqiong thanked Zhang Chengfeng.

"No thanks, it's my duty to protect Lori!" Zhang Chengfeng's glasses glowed with divine brilliance, and his face had an inexplicable sense of mission.

Jian Zhiqiong was silent for a long time before asking, "By the way, aren't you the Demon Slaying Army in Tianjing City, why did you come to General County?"

Zhang Chengfeng said with a little embarrassment: "I was removed by the Demon Suppression Army because of my mistakes, and later joined several mercenary groups, and now I have settled in Jiangjun County, who knew that I was targeted at the Desperate Castle. 」

"I didn't have a chance to personally thank you for the life-saving grace of the day, and I only blamed myself for being cowardly and useless. Zhang Chengfeng was full of self-reproach.

"No, since you faced Zhang Bao and his minions yesterday, you are still protecting Madoka, and you are no longer the Zhang Chengfeng of the day. Jian Zhiqiong patted Zhang Chengfeng's shoulder and encouraged him.

Xiao Yuan also stretched out his small fist into a fist towards Zhang Chengfeng at this time to show support.

Zhang Chengfeng couldn't help but reddened his eyes, took off his glasses, and wiped his eyes with his hands.

"The big one is leaving!" Zhang Hu shouted.

"Today's mission is to infiltrate the executioner's lair and collect the powder of hope. Everyone was divided into two groups, the first group was led by me and was responsible for collecting hope powder, and the second group was led by Liu Lao, who was responsible for luring away the executioners. Zhang Hu ordered.

Hope Powder is actually a by-product of dead survivors planted in the corpse fields by the Keepers, and is worthless to the Keepers, but extremely important to the survivors, and is the key to the survivors' survival in the Desperate Castle.

Moreover, the longer the survivors survive in the Desperate Castle, the greater the need for hope powder, and Zhang Hu and Liu Lao now need a large amount of hope powder to uncover the erosion and spread of black spots. This is also why Zhang Hu is so eager to break through the third layer, otherwise where would he get so much hope powder.

Jian Zhiqiong, Zhong Yinzeng and Zhang Chengfeng were incorporated into Zhang Hu's first group.

Zhang Hu's strategy was not complicated, Liu Lao positioned the executioners and warned the first group, and if necessary, the second group intervened to draw the attention of the executioners. In fact, the members of Dawn are no strangers to this tactic, and they have successfully executed it several times, and have achieved a lot of hope powder. Zhang Hu believes that this time it will also be a full load.

"Elder Liu, where is the executioner now?" Zhang Hu asked.

"Well, the executioner has left his lair, and now is a good chance to sneak in. Liu Lao replied. "Our second team will be watching the executioner's tracks in his vicinity, ready to lure the executioner away at any time to buy you the most time. 」

"Okay, first group follow me. Zhang Hu shouted.

Although they confirmed that the executioner was not in the lair, Zhang Hu and the others were still cautious and cautious to confirm the surrounding environment before entering the executioner's lair.

Although the executioner's lair has only one entrance, it is high and wide enough for several survivors to pass through at the same time, after all, the executioners are not small.

Jian Zhiqiong entered the caretaker's lair for the first time, and the area of the lair was quite large, and half of the area had been reclaimed into a field of corpses. The fields of corpses were covered with blood-red dirt, and the dead survivors were planted in the dirt like upside-down onions. The blood-red dirt occasionally shone with a light that wanted the powder to mix in the dirt.

Unlike Jian Zhiqiong, the others were already surprised, and immediately seized the time to collect hope powder in the corpse field, and the technique was quite skillful.

When Jian Zhiqiong was about to join the collection process, he heard a strong and loud beating sound from his heart.

"Plop, plop, plop!"
