Ji Xun's team of ten people walked towards the depths of the dark research institute.

It is currently a C-level plot difficulty.

According to the intelligence, the strongest monster that appeared was a first-order A-class calamity, so it was not a big problem.

But because there was no second-order card master in the team, it was like there was no backbone, and the other eight team members seemed a little resentful.

No one would think that a first-order mechanic would be a guarantee that would lead them through the level.

But because it's a team mode now, others don't have anything to say.

Dong Qi also felt the strange wisps of cold gaze sweeping over him from time to time, which was very awkward.

I wanted to explain something.

After all, only she knew that the strongest person in the team was not herself.

It's Ji Xun.

In terms of combat effectiveness, this guy is much more powerful than the average second-order card master.

But after glancing at the indifferent expression, Dong Qi didn't say anything, and walked all the way with Ji Xun.

Ji Xun walked all the way, and he was also observing the surrounding environment all the way.

Although the intelligence has detailed most of the spatial layout of the underground research institute.

But he wasn't careless.

All the clues you get now may be the key to breaking the game.

After walking for a while, he also found that this Titan Machinery Research Institute is a very regular underground research institute.

Surrounded on all sides by heavy concrete walls, it is an indestructible space rule item.

There are also some mechanical doors, the same is true.

This is the first floor of the institute, and the entire underground building is roughly in a "Y" shape.

Each of the three teams is on a corner of the corridor, and there will be many laboratories along the way.

Eventually, it will go to the central control room to meet.

There is a passage to the basement.

The lights in the passage flickered on and off, and in the darkness there was some movement from a monster that I didn't know what kind of monster had made.

Along the way, there were also some blood stains in the corridor, and some stumps of the corpses of some creatures that had been eaten.

Not long after walking, the team came to a huge oval space.

It's like an office for the staff of the institute.

The floor was littered with archival materials and broken instruments.

The walls are covered in thick explosion-proof glass, which looks a bit like a zoo viewing cubicle, and it seems that some kind of monster test object has been locked up in it.

But now, the glass is cracked and broken everywhere from the massive impact, and there are blackened blood stains everywhere on the walls.

Ji Xun'er Guo moved slightly, his eyes looked at the darkness, and the blue light was faint.

His keen sense of hearing led him to notice that a monster was being drawn into.

However, he did not have any different colors, but was very interested in the scattered materials on the ground.

Along the way, I picked it up all the way.

It looks like it's all in Talengu.

The will of space is not translated, which means that this is not the key to breaking the game.

And only decorative items, which cannot be taken out.

Moreover, these documents are not incomprehensible to non-paleographers, and there is no mention of them in the information they have received before.

But Ji Xun can roughly understand it.

"Experiment #102-6, this time the subject tried to connect the brain complement nerve and machinery of the red-haired ape, and the subject rejection was very obvious."

"Experiment #115, the 'artificial muscle fiber' research has been preliminarily successful, replacing the gastrocnemius muscle in the leg of Subject 8, and after three days of obtaining super bounce, the subject died of aberration."

"Experiment #1191T, Subject Attempts to Integrate a Mechanical Heart"

「.」

Although there are some technical terms that he can't understand, it doesn't prevent Ji Xun from roughly knowing what this laboratory is researching.

"Mechanical prosthetic technology?"

Ji Xun looked thoughtful.

I can understand why there are so many living monsters in the 1981 Research Institute, which studies machinery.

He was thinking about the problem in his head and didn't pay attention to the others.

But this behavior is a bit pretentious in the eyes of other team members.

These archives are all ancient Talem scripts dating back thousands of years, and may not be understood by the most knowledgeable paleographers of the Federation.

In the eyes of hunters, this behavior is a waste of time.

And before I had time to think about it, at this time the others also found something.

As the only normal first-order card master in the team, the hook-nosed man noticed the movement and exclaimed, "Be careful, the monster is coming!" ”

Saying this, even Dong Qi became nervous.

She was not wearing the one-of-a-kind Gunnir Ogin armor, but another set of ordinary mechanical exoskeletons of her own design.

As soon as the monster came out, as soon as he raised his hand, he took out a one-man high ammunition box from the storage ring and hung it on his lap. At the same time, with the clatter of mechanical bones and gears, the six-wheeled Vulcan cannon behind the shoulder also turned.

At this scene, I watched the other eight teammates swallow their saliva with envy.

This kind of sophisticated and high-end mechanical equipment, they have also seen it for the first time.

Without thinking much about it, a group of ugly-looking aberrant monkeys suddenly appeared in the distance.

They are tall, or they have tentacles on their bodies, or they have barbs and tongues in their mouths, or they have various sarcomas. In short, a strange distortion of the appearance.

As soon as they appeared, everyone immediately pulled the trigger, and the dense gunfire of "Da Da Da" rang out.

The hook-nosed man also acted as a temporary commander, and he couldn't stop drinking.

"Hit the head! Hit the heart! Otherwise, you can't die! ”

"Watch out for the corpses on the ground, they're not dead!"

“.”

These monsters are all aberrated from the red-haired apes used in the experiments, and most of them are only the combat power of the apprentices, and the guns can be killed.

Ji Xun didn't contribute much, only occasionally saw a monster break through the fire blockade, so he used a large-caliber pistol to make up for two shots.

And Dong Qi's performance is very eye-catching.

"Keng", "Keng", "Keng".

The two six-wheeled muskets glowed blue, and the metal shells bounced on the ground, and soon piled up into a small mountain.

With such a high density of fire, it is difficult for monsters to break through the fire network even without aiming.

With her firepower alone, she suppressed almost the entire team.

There is such a super violent output, and not long after the first wave of monsters rushed out, it almost turned into a mess of flesh and blood.

The battle ended quickly.

It was just a matter of moments, and it seemed as if the monster had stopped.

Silence returned to the vast underground laboratory.

The other eight teammates looked at Dong Qi with very strange expressions.

They also felt that there was no second-order leader in the team and they would suffer a big loss.

Looking at it now, it seems that this mechanic is not bad?

Which lady, it's okay to experience a hunter game?

Dong Qi noticed those gazes, but he didn't know why.

But Ji Xun looked at it, but there was a chuckle on the corner of his mouth.

He knew why the other people had such strange expressions.

Because even if there is such an abundance of ammunition, the average hunter would not dare to consume it like this.

Just that kind of play, it is indeed efficient and neat, but it is purely taking money to smash monsters.

The ammunition consumed and the gains that monsters can bring are definitely not proportional.

This is fundamentally different from the idea of hunters taking risks to seek wealth.

But thinking about it, everyone also felt that there was nothing bad, and even thought it was a surprise.

With such a "foolish lady" in the extradimensional space who has never been to the other dimension at first glance, their loss is even lower.

Ji Xun didn't say much.

This time she brought Dong Qi in, she always had to comprehend something by herself.

The first wave of monsters was killed in this way, and the hunters went to the corpse piles to find some low-level supernatural materials.

Ji Xun walked over and used the feast skill in the pile of corpses.

He has now reached Lv3 for the feast, and the area covered by the devouring energy is very large, and the efficiency is also extremely high.

He was contained in the corpse, and he swallowed the extraordinary properties of the power of the hundreds of monsters around him.

However, because the level of the monster is too low, there are not many attributes to improve.

And Ji Xun didn't come for these monsters in the first place.

His eyes fell on the pile of corpses, a monster that had been beaten in two by the waist, but was still struggling.

Squatted down and checked.

"Undead trait."

Ji Xun looked at the corpse that was rapidly regaining its vitality, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Generally speaking, this kind of low-level monster, and it is not a necromantic creature, it should not have this "undead trait".

But on the contrary, there are monsters in this laboratory.

You have to blow your head or heart to kill it.

And Ji Xun could clearly see that after the limbs of these monsters were broken, the extraordinary characteristics of the distortion overflowed uncontrollably.

Fruitless thoughts.

He tried to touch the monster with his hand, feasting and devouring the spillover traits.

A magical scene happened.

The monster, which was still struggling just now, gradually seemed to be drained of its life force, and then died.

The heart and skull are still intact.

"Is that really the case?"

When Ji Xun saw this, he already understood something.

If he guessed correctly, the advanced plot difficulty of this space, the breaking point is here!

As long as the "undead trait" of the monster can be specifically restricted, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

And for Ji Xun, these out-of-control transcendent characteristics are all devourable!

Most importantly, he speculated that the immortality of these monsters was most likely caused by the mysterious source of contamination from the 1981 Institute.

For a while, Ji Xun combined the known information and thought of a lot of possibilities for the follow-up plot.

And his action of studying corpses is another strange behavior in the eyes of others.

Even Dong Qi felt very puzzled, and couldn't understand what there was to study about these corpses.

At present, it is C-level difficulty, normally, as long as you clear the monsters all the way to the past, deal with a more dangerous first-order calamity, go to the core cabin and close the passage from the first floor to the second floor, even if you clear the customs.

However, they didn't just come in this group of people for C-level difficulty.

As everyone cleaned up the battlefield and loaded their ammunition, a sudden revelation appeared.

"The classified archive on the second floor of the Titan Research Institute has been discovered, and the exploration rate is +15%, and the creatures of the second order calamity-level aberration have quietly lurked in the darkness. B-Class Mission Trigger: Bring the File Lockbox Out of the Institute."

Seeing this enlightenment, everyone's expressions immediately became solemn.

B-level difficulty, the current mortality rate is close to 70%.

In other words, normally speaking, seven of them in a ten-person squad would die.

Or even a group annihilation.

However, this difficulty has been cleared before, and there is a mature strategy.

Moreover, it had been said before they came that they could choose not to go to the second floor of the research institute, and the danger would be greatly reduced.

Only Ji Xun looked at it, but there was a touch of playfulness in his eyes.

Ordinary second-order calamity is not particularly threatening to his current strength.

But when you think about the equipment and staffing of those people in the Iron Hand Hunter Group before, the purpose of those guys is probably not just to clear the B-level difficulty.

And now it can be seen that the other two teams are advancing much faster than their own.

Ji Xun became more and more sure that those people might have some information in their hands that outsiders did not know.

But it doesn't matter.

Thinking of the uncertainty he was about to face, he felt that this other-dimensional space was starting to make a little interesting.

The difficulty of the plot was raised to B-level, and the atmosphere of the squad instantly became tense.

But this space requires monster killing and story completion to get high settlement rewards.

Even if you stay on the first floor, it's better to clean up some monsters more.

Now that a few monsters have not been killed, everyone can only continue to move forward.

It didn't take long for the second batch of monsters to appear.

It's still some deformed monkeys, but this time, there are calamity-level monsters among the monsters.

It was a tall bloody orangutan more than five meters tall, with red fangs and blood all over its body, almost reaching its head on the ceiling of the corridor.

【Corrupt Giant Demon Ape King】

Explanation: First-Order A Calamity; The Abyssal Rift Ape King, eroded by mysterious pollution, possesses terrifying strength, physical defense, and immortality;

Ji Xun looked at the lingering blood qi and squinted slightly.

At the sight of this monster, the faces of the rest of the team changed drastically.

This is the most tricky monster that can be encountered on the first floor of the research institute in intelligence.

I didn't expect their team to be so unlucky, and they ran into it directly.

The first-order A-level calamity, the real combat power has crushed the vast majority of second-order card masters, and there is also the immortal characteristic, which is extremely difficult to kill.

"Damn, it's this A-class calamity!"

"Be careful, everyone, don't get close to monsters!"

"Ordinary bullets are useless, you need to use magic bullets and bombs."

“.”

These words are not, but they are said to Dong Qi, the main output.

You must know that the price of one special ammunition is nearly 10,000.

Ordinary hunters don't say they don't have much in their hands, and even if they do, they have their own careful thoughts at the moment, and they don't use them if they can.

Killing monsters is killed by the team, but the ammunition is their own, and when it is consumed, it is gone.

That's the downside of the wild team.

The players don't have any trust in each other, and they fight on their own.

Dong Qi's personality is straightforward, and when he listens to these words, there is no ink.

She pulled out a special ammo box, clicked on it, and a special flame burst out.

Ji Xun only observed the teammates in the team who were obviously cautious, and then looked at this money-burning style of play, and raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

Not even ready to help.

Just put the cold gun on the side.

Although he brought Dong Qi to the other-dimensional space this time.

But it's impossible to bring it every time in the future.

In some cases, she has to know how to deal with it herself.

That [Corrupt Giant Demon Ape King] already has some wisdom, and its own attributes are too strong.

Even special bullets do very little damage.

As soon as the monster emerged at the end of the passage, it led a group of mobs all the way to it.

It's very fast.

And after rushing through the straight hallway, it actually began to move flexibly!

The speed was so fast that it was difficult for Dong Qi's ballistics to catch up.

Even if it was beaten all over the body with holes everywhere, it was still alive and well, rushing all the way to the defensive camp of the squad with firepower, and with a "bang", it crashed into the defensive formation of the ten-person squad like a truck.

Dong Qi was not afraid, gave up the six-round artillery, and controlled the mechanical arm to go up directly, the steam boiler suddenly sounded, and the wrestling did not fall behind.

She alone withstood the most dangerous A-class calamity.

The Ape King is a purely physical attack, and the risk is completely manageable.

Not a big problem.

Ji Xun still had no intention of helping.

Instead, he looked at the injuries on this monster's body, and pondered in his heart: "Strange that this immortal trait is not a healing ability, but a pure energy support?" ”

After careful observation, Ji Xun also found some clues.

Moreover, the danger was not only the giant ape, his gaze scanned into the darkness, narrowing slightly.

He smelled something that made him feel dangerous, hidden in the darkness.

In addition, the number of monsters is much more than what is said in the intelligence.

Something is clearly going on ahead.

It is not difficult for Ji Xun to guess that it may be those guys who went to the second floor to use some means.

The ten-man squad fought the monster horde.

Although Dong Qi resisted the ape king, the other people were not good in strength and equipment, and it was very difficult to deal with them in the face of the tide of monsters.

Eventually, casualties appeared.

The moment a guy's gun jammed, he was pushed down by a monster, and then drowned in the siege of dozens of monsters.

"Ah, help me! Help me! ”

The screams were incessant.

Seeing this, Dong Qi felt that his teammates should reach out to save him, so he pulled out of the pull, and several explosions of "knock", "knock" and "knock" sounded, and several high-powered miniature missiles exploded on the ape king.

As soon as the green flames rose, the huge body more than five meters tall was blown away.

This scene made several other teammates stunned.

Dong Qi rushed over and scattered the monster pile.

But that guy has been bitten all over his body, most of his neck has been bitten off, and blood gushes like a spring, and he can't live.

Dong Qi frowned when he looked at it, and suddenly the machinery of his arms clicked, and the muzzles of the two large-caliber guns suddenly accumulated.

This is her own "Hagrid V.type" military steam troll that she has improved through some ancient mechanical drawings, and its power is stronger than that of the top products on the market.

She had been accumulating energy for a long time, and she decisively pulled the trigger at the monster tide in front of her.

With a "bang", ultra-high-pressure steam gushed out, and a large area of minions in front of him suddenly exploded into a blood mist, splashing all over the ground.

After emptying a large area of monsters, the pressure on the other team members was instantly lightened.

But at the same time, those people also saw Dong Qi's increasingly outrageous equipment, and their eyes froze: No wonder he was not assigned to the second order, this guy is so strong?

But now that the monster hasn't been killed, it's not time to rest.

Dong Qi's arms shook, and the alloy mechanical war knife was thrown out, and then she rushed towards the ape king alone.

Dong Qi used those mechanical equipment at the bottom of the box, and it was naturally not a problem to deal with the calamity of the first order.

Not long after, the [Corrupt Giant Demon Ape King], who was seriously injured, was stabbed in the mouth by the muzzle, and several miniature missiles smashed his head.

The death of the calamity also announced the end of this crisis.

The transcendent traits converged on the corpse, converging into a shiny muscle.

Ji Xun walked over, devouring the transcendent characteristics at the same time, he also stripped off the muscle and sealed it in the containment card.

The crisis was lifted, and everyone's eyes fell on the muscles of the flickering silver light.

A-grade calamity, out of this very good silver material.

But compared to the ammunition consumed by Dong Qi, the value is probably not much.

Ji Xun didn't want to share it at all, so he directly put away the materials.

Looking at his behavior, the faces of the other teammates were not very good-looking.

Silver materials can be worth a lot of money.

Desperately to explore, this is just for money.

If you don't ask for it at this time, it will be even more difficult to ask for it later.

Finally couldn't help it, and a green-haired young man immediately spoke: "Hey, that, this silver material. We should have a copy of that too. ”

This is peaceful mode, and he is not afraid of his teammates rioting and killing.

According to the intelligence, if they only explore the first layer and kill this calamity, the biggest crisis has been eliminated.

It doesn't matter if you tear your face.

Out of the extradimensional space, who knows whom?

Dong Qi watched silently from the side.

She vaguely guessed that Ji Xun hadn't made a move before, as if she had another deep meaning.

Seeing the greedy look in the eyes of these guys at this moment, she seemed to understand.

Ji Xun glanced at the man and said lightly: "This calamity was killed by my friend, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

The green hair was choked by this, and the slyness flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "It's okay? My friend died, you say it's okay? ”

This guy just saw Dong Qi not hesitate to spend a lot of valuable special ammunition to save people, and he had already concluded that this was a fool who thought he had a good heart.

You might be able to get some benefits out of it.

Ji Xun saw through this guy's careful thinking, and said lightly: "Oh." So? ”

The green-haired look was furious: "You obviously have such powerful mechanical equipment, why didn't you use it earlier?" Do you have to kill us, do you use it? ”

Dong Qi's expression was slightly different when he heard this.

If you want to be true, this is true.

If she had fought with all her might, she probably wouldn't have died just now.

But she always felt that being put on the moral high ground made her very unhappy.

But I don't know how to argue with it.

Ji Xun said unceremoniously: "The equipment was brought by us, and the ammunition consumption was also ours, and we didn't let you share it evenly." I can use it if I want, why should I listen to your pointing? ”

It's normal to explore the dead in another dimension.

It's the wild team again.

Everyone is a stranger to each other, not a bodyguard with some responsibility.

They are only responsible for their own lives.

Everyone is a veteran hunter, and everyone understands this.

But except for the green hair, several other people also wanted to share the spoils, and no one spoke.

Seeing that it was not easy to fool, the green hair looked annoyed and angry, and turned to something else: "It's really unlucky, I didn't say anything in advance if I brought so many high-grade ammunition, isn't it harmful?!" If it was the leader of the Ke Sen team, we wouldn't have been so passive just now. Now my friend is dead in battle, but the loot is not ours? Hehehe. Do you think it's reasonable? ”

It looks like it's tearing his face, but in fact, this guy is shrewd.

The implication is that the uneven distribution of the teams is a problem that you are concealing. Now that your friends are dead, it's all because you have the ability to go all out, are you embarrassed to take the spoils alone?

In other words, Dong Qi is alone, maybe he will really make up for it because of guilt, and even contribute more later.

However, Ji Xun listened as if he had heard ridiculous words, and asked rhetorically, "Hehe, your friend?" ”

In the battle just now, in the end, two were killed and three were wounded.

This is still under the condition that Dong Qi's combat strength is outstanding, and he has dragged the A-level calamity alone from beginning to end.

Otherwise, more people will die.

Instead of being grateful, these guys are now coming to make these moths.

As he spoke, he glanced at the guy's waist and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the gun on your left waist is also filled with a magic bullet, right?" If you could spare your ammunition and shoot, your so-called friend wouldn't have died. Well, you tell me, why didn't you shoot yourself, and now it's on us to blame? ”

He had been observing these people before.

The green-haired man used the gun when he was saving his life, but the so-called friend was about to die, but he didn't fire another shot.

It's ironic.

"You"

The green hair was punctured by someone, and immediately fell from the moral high point, and his face turned red for a while.

When Dong Qi heard this, he already understood something.

Ji Xun even felt that it was a waste of time to explain more to this kind of person.

Since Dong Qi understood, he didn't mean to continue wasting time.

After all, the real drama should begin.

Ji Xun glanced at a few people, and said in a deep voice: "One more point." Do you know why you're alive until now? ”

He sneered and said something that surprised everyone: "It's not just because my friend fights at all costs. And because I'm here. ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the other people's faces turned cold.

We are alive thanks to the female mechanic.

But what does it have to do with you, the guy who fishes the whole time?

As a first-order in the team, Eagle Hook Nose said, "Your Excellency, don't you still want to do something to us?" I'm afraid you haven't forgotten that this is a peaceful mode. What's more, we have no grievances with the two of us. The loot or something can be discussed, not so much"

Now the adventure is not over, and he is also a little afraid of the other party tearing his face.

"Huh."

Ji Xun interrupted with a sneer when he heard this, without meaning to explain at all.

Just as everyone was looking at him in bewilderment, he suddenly burst out.

He kicked the ground with his feet, leaving a series of afterimages in his place, and then unleashed a savage charge in the direction of the wall.

There was a muffled "bang", as if it had hit something halfway.

Ji Xun rushed to the wall, and only then did several people see clearly that he knocked out a stealth monster like a monkey from the void.

【Blood Shadow Scythe】

Explanation: Rank 1 Class B Calamity; The Assassin was once a monster who was transformed into a card master, and was good at all kinds of stealth assassination;

When the shadow was knocked out, even Dong Qi, and other people realized that there was still a calamity-level monster peeping on the side.

Everyone's expressions instantly panicked.

The calamity of the assassin system is still B-class!

If you really want to sneak attack, the second-order card masters have a mortal threat.

Hey.

No, there's no such monster in the intel.

Where did this come from?

However, before everyone could figure it out, Ji Xun slammed the monster against the wall, and then accumulated internal strength with a punch [Polar Collapse] that hit the monster's head like lightning.

Just listening to the sound of "bang", the watermelon exploded, and the wall was scarlet.

As soon as everyone was shocked by the sneaking monster again, they were stunned by the bloody scene in front of them: a B-class calamity was killed with one punch?

This. How can it be?!

Their heads seemed to slow for a moment before they transformed the bizarre scene they saw in front of them into shocked expressions that appeared on their faces.

This strength is really terrifying!

At this moment, they realized it later.

It turned out that the real reason for the uneven distribution of the team was not the female mechanic.

Is it this mysterious master who can kill the first-order calamity with his bare hands?

A few people with hooked noses hit their foreheads with cold sweat, and they instantly understood the meaning of what they said just now.

If it hadn't been for the Assassin monster, it would have been assassinated long ago.

None of their people here will survive!

Greenhair looked at the monster that had been blown off its head and swallowed violently.

A headshot with bare hands, which is much more visually impactful than a mechanical bombardment of monsters.

If this kind of master wants to kill him, it is as easy as a snap.

He immediately regretted why he had just stood up for that little bit of greed.

Ji Xun didn't pay attention to these people's meaning, killed the monster, beckoned Dong Qi not far away, and the two walked towards the depths of the research institute.

The hook-nosed people looked at each other.

In fact, from beginning to end, Ji Xun and the two didn't need to stay in the team.

I waited so long to see what the other two teams wanted to do.

And just now, when Ji Xun saw the calamity [Blood Shadow Scythe] that had never appeared in the information.

He guessed that those guys might have triggered some new episodes.

Dong Qi was still reminiscing about the previous conversations, and he had some understanding.

Chatting as we walked.

"Regardless of those people?"

"Hmm. They won't survive. ”

"Huh?"

"If nothing else, it should trigger the A-level difficulty."

“.”

Hearing this, Dong Qi was also surprised.

Ji Xun couldn't explain it clearly, because most of it was speculation.

But coincidentally, not long after he said this, everyone in the institute saw a new revelation at the same time: "The laboratory hatch on the third floor of the institute has been opened, the exploration degree is +35%, the research institute's security system is triggered, and all exits are locked. Class A mission triggered: Investigate the source of the lab contamination leak, survive for five days, and help will come."

(End of chapter)
