209. Rewards
Gentle footsteps swirled along a row of instruments in the experimental field.
Julie, Maeve and Hallie each supported the three unconscious women and followed behind Dean, who was pouring bottles of medical alcohol on the operating table and various experimental equipment.
"Does it really matter? You're terrible looking like this. Julie looked at the man's strong back and thighs with concern, all of them were dense with small cuts, and charred burns and dark red bruises, according to common sense, ordinary people would have been lying in the hospital for rescue if they were so badly injured.
"I'll help you, Dean," Maeve said volunteerly, with deep adoration and gratitude in her eyes.
"No, I just look miserable, but it's actually all skin trauma." Dean shook his head, smiled mildly at the others, and threw out the lit match in his hand, the red flames drew a circle along the ground, instantly wrapping these evil experimental facilities tightly.
The smell of burning fills the air,
The system shook, and the progress of the "secret mission" climbed again.
"Let's go, we're going to suffocate when it's too late." Dean looked at the map that the girls had searched for not long ago, and led the way out of the experimental field and towards the sheep intestine path on the left.
The women hurried after him.
This time, the surrounding environment was still pitch black, but they did not have the slightest fear or nervousness, and looked at the tall figure in front of them, feeling extremely relieved.
"Are we finally going out?" The black girl wiped her nose with great effort, her eyes still a little incredulous, "Escaped unscathed from the hands of these terrible monsters?" β
Julie patted her small chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Toad people, chameleons, crazy and evil scientists, all of them have been solved by Dean, the nightmare is finally over, I can't help but want to look at the sky outside." β
Dean listened to the chatter behind him, and the heavy mood caused by the previous bloody battle began to slowly become lighter.
Soon after, they found the meandering pipe marked on the map leading to the top, climbed up and emerged through a hidden tunnel on the edge of a forest far from the abandoned factory.
It was already early in the morning, the sky was pitch black, and the forest was gently swaying with the night breeze, and bursts of insects full of life were heard.
Everyone breathed in the fresh air, and the joy of rebirth appeared on their faces.
"Dean, what's next," Julie said hesitantly, looking at the two still unconscious women she and her companions were supporting, "Send them to the police station?" β
"Are you stupid, sister?" Maeve shook her head nervously, "Tell the officer that we accidentally fell into a demon cave with monsters researched by scientists from the American Army that have devoured thousands of people so far?" Do you think they will believe this nonsense? Even if they believe it, how can they investigate? A small police station in Faraille can wrestle with the Marines? β
Hallie also nodded in agreement, "Little Julie, don't be too naΓ―ve, the power of the army is not something that ordinary people like us can afford to provoke, there is a high probability that we will be denounced on the front foot, and the special forces they sent will be assassinated on the back foot, and even... He was even taken captive to another underground base and encountered even more terrifying monsters. β
These words made Dean look at these two female college students with admiration, and his vigilance was commendable, not too stupid.
"But that's it, what if this group of demons continues to kidnap people and conduct evil experiments?" Julie bit her pink lip unwillingly, "And the families of the victims of the underground base should hope to find the remains of their loved ones." β
"That's not your business, according to me, if you have to intervene, you won't live more than a week." Dean reached out and stroked the girl's hair, and soothed, "After today, you can continue to enjoy your college life as if nothing happened, but don't tell anyone, including your parents, about what happened underground." Yes, if you treat me as a friend, don't even mention me. β
The three girls looked at each other and nodded. "You are our savior, you don't like to be famous, we swear to God to keep it a secret for you."
Dean looked at their sincere gaze and nodded,
"You don't have to worry too much. I have a friend who knows reporters from the New York Times, and we will reveal this evil inside information to them, and maybe one day the media will expose the ugly behavior of the American military. β
This friend refers to Sheriff Hope.
However, Dean estimates that the news will not play a big role in handing over the news to the media, after all, public opinion in this country has long been firmly controlled.
But he is not a savior, the purpose of this trip has been fully achieved, and he is not guilty of risking interference with America's Stargate Jedi project for the sake of irrelevant people, at most, to deal with the technician and his men.
Yes, several girls found pictures of the technicians in Cicero's collection.
Dean can use the dark realm of his mind to find out the whereabouts of this guy at any time and deal with them.
β¦β¦
"So what about the two of them? Do you want to disclose our plans? Julie asked again,
Dean shook his head decisively, he was not interested in being a nanny for these two strange women, "It's enough to save their lives." Next, just drop them in a safe place and leave a letter for them to keep secret. β
Dean looked at the delicate faces of the two women, thinking that there was a high probability that some of their relatives and friends would die underground, and they would not give up the investigation so easily, so his eyes solemnly swept over the faces of the three girls,
"But remember, don't have any contact with them in the future, or they may drag you down and attract malicious intent from the U.S. military."
And then dragged down to Dean.
β¦β¦
Seeing Dean so solemn, Julie nodded.
Soon after, the two women who were about to wake up were dropped off in a park, and they rushed to an unmonitored motel on the outskirts of Faraye, where they booked three rooms.
Julie shares a room with the unconscious Luna, and Maeve and Hallie share a room.
Dean had a room by himself, because his current image of being covered in injuries was too terrifying, so he quietly opened the window with his mental strength and slipped into the room.
Washing off the blood all over his body, he treated the wound a little and looked in the mirror.
In the mirror, a young man with a face covered in fine blood and explosive muscles all over his body, in his early eights, two hundred pounds, with bruised tendons and blood vessels on his neck and arms.
His eyes are as bright as the stars in the dark night sky, but there is a creepy coldness in the stars.
In just one night, Dean had killed more monsters than all the previous ones combined, and the smell of blood lingered around him.
He took a deep breath, a deep breath, trying his best to relax his body and tense nerves, and it took a long time for the sharp momentum to be suppressed.
Next, Dean sat cross-legged on the soft single bed, enjoying dessert and relaxing while putting his mind into the system.

Rewards can be withdrawn at any time.
Dean took a deep breath, he thought that he would be able to achieve two hundred percent progress by solving the technician group, but now he had completed his goal ahead of schedule.
It seems that being a good person occasionally comes with a little bit of a bonus.
Extract.
XP +180, Personal Level Lv5 (460β640/700)
Depending on the level of completion, you can choose between two special rewards, one of which will be greatly increased:
A. Specialty Iron Man (Intermediate) is promoted to Iron Man (Advanced), this promotion has a huge impact, you need to get this reward three times in a row to complete the upgrade. Current progress (1/3) (150 chapters, obtained once by killing the hedgehog head)
B. Super Power Protection Color Lv0: With ten more layers of special skin cells, you will change color by changing the skin structure or reflecting light, completely blending in with the surrounding environment to achieve the effect of invisibility. Most creatures can't see you with the naked eye.
But at the initial level, playing intense sports, or even using superpowers can break your protective color effect.
Increasing this ability will give you a small increase in your Agility stat.
Note: This choice will affect your appearance.
C. Venom Lv0: An extra part of the body that produces venom, making your blood contain deadly corrosive poison.
You are immune to these poisons, and you can shoot venom to inflict great damage on your enemies.
Increases this ability and slightly increases your physical stats.
Note that this superpower will affect your appearance.
D. Superpower - Abnormal Self-Healing: From now on, your upper limit of cell division will increase, and there will be an additional crystallized energy storage organ in your body, and any physical injuries you suffer, including injuries in vital areas, can be self-healed at least ten times faster than in the past by consuming the energy in it, and the specific self-healing efficiency is positively related to your body.
However, the initial level does not reach the level of rebirth of a severed limb.
Increases this ability and slightly increases your physical stats.
E. You can modify the superpower of C or D and add it to your Intermediate Ironman specialty as a trait in the specialty.
Traits cannot be obtained by leveling up like normal superpowers.
But their power is no less than superpowers.
Note: This item is a 200% significant increase in rewards.
F. A little free attribute point.
β¦β¦
Under the soft light, Dean's eyes showed a look of thought.
Among the six options, item A is mandatory.
If you choose it, you will get another reward of the same kind, and Iron Man will be promoted to the advanced stage.
In this battle, Dean deeply realized the strength of Iron Man's specialty, resistance to blows, the negative impact of injuries, more durable endurance, and more vigorous vitality, and Dean was able to escape death thanks to this all-round specialty.
It is the preference.
β¦β¦
F excludes, 1 point attribute is too cost-effective, Dean received the attribute in one night tonight far more than that.
Dean is extremely greedy for the B protective color, with this superpower, he can sneak in broad daylight, enter and exit other people's houses at will as if he were in a no-man's land, find out the news, break into the secret room and be invincible, he is simply a shadowless man.
Although the low level cannot be used in battle, Dean can kill with one blow as long as he approaches the enemy's body by stealth and seizes the opportunity!
It's a pity that Dean doesn't have any extra superpower slots, and he is still a long way away from meditating on the next level, so he can only reluctantly exclude B.
In the same way, simple superpower options C and D can only be excluded.
But E gave him a chance to make amends.
Transform poisonous liquid or anomalous self-healing into one of the Iron Man specialties, and the Iron Man Specialties will become even more powerful!
Which one to join?
Dean directly eliminated the venom substance, he was not interested in being a toad man covered in flesh bumps, no matter how strong the venom lethality was, it couldn't make him move.
β¦β¦
"I choose A, and E, to add anomalous self-healing to the Iron Man specialty."
Di An'an moved.
The next second.
His body as he sat on the bed suddenly straightened, and his left chest, near his heart, was like a furnace releasing a huge amount of heat.
In Dean's perception, a red prismatic crystal the size of a fingernail took shape.
Wisps of warmth were released from it, surging over his face, chest, abdomen, and lower body, oozing scratches and burns.
Immediately, the wounds looked like ants crawling over them, and they were slightly itchy.
Dean frowned slightly and quietly felt the changes in his body, the itching became weaker and weaker, and he began to have a warm pleasure of soaking in the hot springs, and every cell seemed to begin to renew, becoming more vigorous and energetic, and more substantial.
A few hours later.
The prismatic crystal the size of a fingernail on the side of the heart shrank by more than half.
Dean purred twice in his stomach and instantly woke up from his huge hunger, and took out the various energy bars prepared in advance from the bedside table with one hand, and stuffed them into his mouth to recharge the crystals.
The other hand grabbed the cracked corner of the skin on his face and tore it violently.
He pulled a cicada-like brown skin made up of scarred scabs, revealing the opposite, silky, silky, delicate and resilient skin underneath.
Dean tore off the dead skin all over his body.
When I walked back to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, the image of the scar-faced man who was as strong as a beast before was completely gone, replaced by a young man with broad shoulders and long legs, a sunny handsome, tall and strong man.
Dean smiled with satisfaction, "When the iron man is promoted to the advanced stage, the abnormal self-healing should also reach the level of rebirth of a severed limb." β

"In just one night, more than four attributes and a lot of proficiency gains." Dean felt a sense of surprise like a dream, "But the most important thing is to finally know Lu Guangming's whereabouts." β
Dean summoned the "shadow", and the ghost of a person and a ghost looked at Lu Guangming's old photo blankly, recalling the last words of the nocturnal species.
"There is a high probability that the light has entered Midian, becoming one of the seven. Midian, who has the protection of Paphthria and is cut off by mysterious energy, is therefore unable to find him in the dark realm of his mind. β
"But what will happen to the seven chosen ones gathered in Midian?"
Dean always felt that the monsters of Midiania and the Baphren of their faith had bad intentions towards him, so he was a little undecided, looked at the identical faces shrouded in black mist around him, and asked,
"Man, do you want to go north to Midian, or go to the strip clubs in the southwest to find Lena?"
"Go to the Southwest, Midian's too dangerous." shadow soul transmission,
Dean nodded, "The sixth sense also tells me that there is a deadly crisis in Midian, which I can't cope with with my current strength!" So find Lena first, and then go to find Lu Guangming together. β
β¦β¦
With his decision, he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to end this thrilling day in the Red Dragon Meditation.
Bang, bang...
There was a soft knock on the door, and he swept his God's perspective, and a tall and toned figure in white pajamas, with wet red hair, was standing outside the door,
Crunch β
"Luna, when did you wake up? What's the matter so late that you don't get off early? Dean looked at the woman's eyes with a hint of drunkenness,
"I've slept enough after being anesthetized and can't sleep at all now. I'm afraid you'll leave tomorrow without saying goodbye, I want to keep some good memories! Luna looked him in the eye, a heat in her eyes, and closed the door with a light heel shut, embraced Dean tightly with open arms, and looked up to kiss him without consent.
Under the light, her pretty face was dyed with a layer of charming red.
And standing at the height of Dean, looking down is just right to enjoy the undulating scenery.
Maybe it's because the body has improved too much in a short period of time, which has a little negative effect.
A surge of heat welled up in Dean's body, and his brain was equally hot, and he uncontrollably hugged a princess, picked up Luna and threw her on the bed.
But not before he pounced.
Bang bang.
The door behind him rang again, and outside the door, the petite and sweet blonde girl clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, hanging her head shyly,
Dean rubbed his temples in annoyance, "Julie? Can you tell me tomorrow if you have something, can you go back to sleep first? β
The girl's tone was as delicate as a little sheep, but her eyes were firm, "I'm sorry, I'm sleepy, but I just can't sleep, I want to talk to you." β
"Come on in, your sister is here, too."
"Luna, didn't you go buy snacks?"
"Aren't you asleep too?"
Afterwards, Julie and Luna sat on either side of the single bed, looking at each other with complicated eyes, and neither of them said anything.
Dean sighed, a gut feeling rising in his heart, and stood still in the doorway.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for there to be a knock on the door and a suppressed urging, and the magnetic voice of the black sister Harley rang out,
"I've seen it all, those two feverish little have slipped in! Dean, let me and Maeve in, or I'll sue you for discriminating against minorities! β
Dean reluctantly opened the door, "Come on, come on, you sisters just make up a table for a story meeting." β
"Haha, two little goblins, don't want to eat alone!"
The black girl and the Asian girl were lying between the two white girls, holding hands, twisting their thighs to show the most suitable curve for taking pictures, and hooked their hands to Dean who was clasping his hands around his chest in the distance.
Hei Mei cleared her throat and said with a smile,
"Our sisters have already discussed, and in return for your life-saving grace, you can take a few from us at will... Take it to another room and dispose of it. β
Luna and Julie's cheeks flushed, and they moved their lips as if they wanted to refute, but for some reason, they swallowed the words in their stomachs and looked at them expectantly and expectantly.
Dean shook his head, he was still a little interested in a one-on-one private meeting, but a one-to-many, he couldn't accept it in his heart.
He always felt that it was too messy, too casual.
The enthusiasm and desire in the body also cooled.
"Forget it, I'm tired today, I'll talk about it next time!"
"There will be no next time if you miss this opportunity!" Hallie emphasized,
"That's fate."
"It's a disappointment." Hei Mei sighed and rolled her eyes again, "Seriously, Dean, who are you, a superhero who fights evil supernatural forces?" β
Four pairs of eyes swept away the look of disappointment and looked at them brightly.
"I'm just a boring private detective, a passerby in your life." Dean shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed,
"Please, don't say that! We're not going to lose you right away. Luna shook her red hair and pulled Dean by the shoulders to rest the back of his head on her soft, plump thighs, massaging his shoulders.
Not to be outdone, Julie massaged his temples with two small hands, "Say something more, I want to hear more about you." β
"Well, I'll tell you how to be vigilant as an ordinary person against possible supernatural dangers."
β¦β¦
Late at night, if someone sneaks up on this motel room and peeks in through the window.
Then, through the bright lights, you can see a young man telling the story of the past.
The four pretty girls listened intently, interjecting a question from time to time.
Until dawn.
