Volume 1: The Age of Chaos, Chapter 42: Subject Zero
Hong Xuanwu was instantly repulsed, and several other masters also hesitated for a moment.
In the few seconds they hesitated, the sound of the wall shattering and metal tearing apart was heard inside the door, and then countless stones were heard falling to the ground, and large puffs of smoke and dust were scattered from the iron door.
Qi Wanli frowned and shouted, "It escaped!"
They rushed through the iron gate, only to see that it was a long passageway, all wrapped in metal walls. But at this time, the ground was filled with smoky earth, stones, and broken iron, and a large hole appeared in the ceiling of the passage, and a passage leading upwards appeared.
Hong Xuanwu propped up the ground with a knife, and walked over a little staggeringly, he looked up at the passage of the black hole, and cursed.
Qi Wanli asked, "Lord Hong, can you see what attacked you just now?"
Hong Xuanwu had a dark face and said, "Its speed is too fast, there is no way to see clearly, you can only roughly see what seems to be a human form." ”
"Humanoid?" The masters were shocked, it is not that there have never been humanoid monsters in the world, but anyone who is close to a humanoid form is basically a very high-level monster, and there is almost no appearance on the Southern Continent, but there is a record of humanoid monster activity in the Eastern Continent.
Qi Wanli thought for a moment and said: "Lord Hong, there must be a secret in the depths of this passage, and we must investigate it, but the monster that repelled you just now has already escaped, if we let it kill it in Breeze City, the consequences will be unimaginable, and we will have to chase it." It seems that the troops must be divided into two ways. ”
Hong Xuanwu nodded and said, "What does Master Wanli think it should be?"
Qi Wanli said: "I am the weakest, even if I go to fight that monster, I can't help much, if Lord Hong is relieved, I will go to the depths of this passage by myself." Lord Hong, you'd better take a few other people to hunt down that monster. ”
Hong Xuanwu looked at him deeply and asked, "Of course you can rest assured, but don't you need to leave a mercenary master guard for Master Wanli?"
"Not necessarily. Qi Wanli shook his head and said: "If you guess correctly, the threat here is not a powerful monster, but a trap, I have studied these things thoroughly, and I can find a way to avoid them, but it will be cumbersome to bring a person." ”
Hong Xuanwu no longer insisted, nodded, stretched out his hand to greet a few mercenaries, left a "be careful", and jumped directly towards the big hole in the ceiling, climbing the passage made by the humanoid monster and began to climb up.
The other mercenary masters nodded to Qi Wanli, and they also showed their magic skills and followed Hong Xuanwu.
After all the others left, Qi Wanli asked, "Dark Yuan, what was that just now, did you scan it?"
"Highly mutated humans. Dark Yuan said.
Human...... Qi Wanli frowned and began to walk towards the passage.
As early as when he was outside the iron gate, Dark Yuan tried to open up a variety of fields of vision for him, thermal imaging, infrared detection, metal perspective, ...... But none of them succeeded. There seems to be some kind of powerful shielding inside the iron gate, which makes this high-tech detection ineffective.
At this time, in the passage, too, the dark element could not detect what was in the depths, and Qi Wanli only had his own naked eyes available.
So, he used the Sky Walker Secret Technique he had just learned, and summoned a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball that emitted a faint blue glow, and threw it towards the passage ahead of him where the red light flickered.
The light cluster fluttered like a dandelion, barely reflecting the real appearance of the channel distorted by the red light.
Blood, untold blood.
It's like a dozen people have been blown to pieces here.
Qi Wanli's heart jumped, walked to the bloodstain, stretched out his finger and wiped it gently: "Fresh blood...... It seems that it was those soldiers sent by the Martial God Temple. ”
At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the passage.
"Visitors who are not administrative rights holders or registered visitors should identify themselves, otherwise they will be considered intruders. ”
"Huh?" Qi Wanli raised his head, with a playful expression on his face: "Artificial intelligence? ”
"I am God. Dark Yuan responded calmly.
Qi Wanli shook his head, and in the face of the increasingly urgent female voice, he said loudly: "I am the leader of the serious crime team of the Haimen City Criminal Police Brigade, Qi Wanli. What organization does this lab belong to?"
The female voice was about to ask again, but suddenly heard Qi Wanli answer, and it was stuck for a while, and the voice became gibberish, and it was only after a few seconds that it was reorganized into a new sentence.
"If the visitor has not obtained permission, please apply for access again after obtaining permission. ”
Qi Wanli frowned and asked, "Dark Yuan, can you handle it?"
After being silent for a few seconds, Dark Yuan replied, "I can't bypass the program here to gain permission, but I can disable it the moment the defense troubleshooting program is activated here." ”
"That's not the end of it. Qi Wanli laughed and swaggered towards the depths of the passage.
Next, he walked leisurely through the treacherous passage like a walk, and every now and then a small hole appeared in the walls on all sides, as if to release some terrifying mechanism, and the next second he retracted it, and from time to time a small needle suddenly poked out of the ceiling above his head, and he didn't know what to do, and then retracted it......
It's obviously Longyuan Tiger's Den, and it's like a back garden for Qi Wanli.
In this process, the female voice kept reminding: "Please leave immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!", "Please leave immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" But Qi Wanli didn't take it seriously at all, just smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Dark Yuan." ”
In this way, he easily walked through the long passage and saw another iron gate.
However, the iron door was tightly closed, and there was a shimmering light screen next to the door.
"Fingerprint unlocking, iris unlocking, dark element, can you handle it?"
Dark Element: "You can use the power of the stars to manipulate the magnetic force to destroy the electronic lock." ”
Qi Wanli put his hand less than a centimeter away from the light screen, closed his eyes, and quietly felt something.
After a few seconds, the air between his palm and the light screen seemed to distort, and the light screen suddenly flashed with snowflakes, and then a fierce electric sound came, and the iron door creaked open.
"This ...... What is this?" Qi Wanli looked at what was gradually unfolding behind the iron gate, and the expression on his face became extremely shocked.
......
At the same time, on the ground.
Hong Xuanwu was the first to jump out of the big hole in the ground, and several fourth-order mercenaries followed closely behind and came to the ground.
This is the place where their group stayed on the horse before, and the big hole that appeared out of thin air on the ground was obviously opened by the monster that escaped before, but at this time, there was no monster in sight.
"The other party is very strong, let's not look for it separately, in case we are broken by each one. Everyone gathers and moves towards Breezy City as they search. Hong Xuanwu gave an order.
One of the five mercenaries was a fourth-order star mage of the Skywalker Path, who played the role of reconnaissance at a low altitude, and the other four were all Grand Masters of the Martial Master Path, and together with Hong Xuanwu, they galloped across the earth faster than a fast horse.
Suddenly, the star mage shouted, "What's that!"
Everyone was startled, and looked at the sky in the direction of his finger, only to see that at a height of several hundred meters in the sky, there was a black figure, although it was a human figure, but from time to time it swelled into a huge ball, shrunk into a small black dot, and then changed back into a human form.
After a strange deformation, its body moved again, and it flew away from the spot as fast as it could.
"What the hell is that...... What kind of monster ......" Even Hong Xuanwu's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, he had seen a terrifying opponent as large as a small mountain range, and a dangerous monster with a strange and pervasive body, but he had never seen something so strange as a human shape.
He gritted his teeth and said to the Star Mage flying low in the sky: "You go back to Breeze City immediately, find Vice Bishop Ning, tell him what you saw, and ask him to mobilize all his strength, and the whole city is on high alert!"
Then, he shouted at the remaining four fourth-order great grandmasters: "You follow me to catch up, as long as you can go back alive, add another hundred gold!"
......
In the sky not far from Breeze City, Fan Jianxue was carrying two desperately struggling night corpses in her hands, not shying away from their disgusting appearance, watching them mutate in the black rain, one growing a third hand and the other growing eyes.
"What's going on with the mutated black rain?" she let go, letting go of her hand and letting the two night corpses fall from the high school.
A few hours ago, she was so frightened by Qi Wanli that she left Breeze City, but she didn't want to leave not long before a black rain fell in the sky.
The curious Fan Jianxue saw that the black rain did no harm, but it had a mutating effect on the monster, so he temporarily left the "terrifying" Qi Wanli behind and started the experiment curiously.
"It's kind of interesting to indiscriminately and quickly urge monsters to mutate. ”
She took the container out of her body, filled it with some of this black liquid, and decided to take it back to study it.
It was then that something suddenly occurred to her.
"That's not right...... Something is wrong. ”
"Although Master Na Wanli knew my name, he didn't seem to expect me to visit, so why did he wait for me to arrive before erasing the mark on the little white dragon?"
"If he is to leave this mark to attract our people from the Star Tower, what is the purpose? Deter, intimidate, deliberately show that he has the ability to practice different ways, show his determination to confront us? But he has already killed Lin Yu and crippled Lin Hao, so why bother?"
"If he really has the strength to fight against Xingchen Tower, where does he need to constantly show his strength through alternative methods? From beginning to end, the divine power fluctuations on his body are only at the third-order level...... Could it be that he's cheating on me?"
Because of being distracted by the black rain, Fan Jianxue calmed down a lot, and instead of being frightened before, he was able to go through tonight's events from beginning to end, and finally found something unreasonable.
Although she was still not sure whether Qi Wanli was a scammer or a thief, the doubts in her heart would take root and sprout immediately, and she would fill in a lot of speculation by herself for a while.
In the end, Fan Jianxue decided to go back to Breeze City again, risking her life and giving him a try.
But when she turned lightly in the air, she was greeted by a figure shrouded in black robes.
The man also floated in the air, his black robe completely covering the whole person, and there was only a shadow under the large hood, and the face could not be seen. He smelled of blood from his body that made his heart palpitate, as if he had just crawled out of a pool of blood.
"What people!"
Fan saw that Xue suddenly retreated and flew quickly, her whole body's divine power was condensed extremely quickly, she didn't have to think about whether this person was friend or foe, a person who quietly touched her back could never have good intentions!
The clothes on the man in black fluttered as she flicked her hands, but soon, the robe hung down again, as if nothing had happened.
Fan saw a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes, just now she used ninety percent of her power to attract the divine power of the stars, and wanted to tear the person in front of her from the inside of her body, but after the secret method was cast, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no movement.
"You're nice enough to be a carrier for me to breed offspring. ”
There was a sound of laughter and crying and hoarse whimpering under the black robe, and then, Fan Jianxue saw a pair of bloodshot eyes......
