Lin An hesitated for a long time, but finally did not choose to include these books in the ring.
He is afraid.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to help uncover the secret of eternal life and walk through that door.
Now that he is still young, he can still resist looking at it.
If we weren't in the end of the world...
Or waiting for the day when he is about to die of old age.
I'm afraid...I'm afraid I will take the initiative to open these books, and then follow the old professor's path.
Then become that amoeba.
Either eat or be eaten.
..
I don't know how long it took for the group to escape from the inexplicable emotions.
Gao Tian hesitated and asked Lin An, his eyes a little disappointed.
"Team Lin."
"This floor is already the last floor."
"Although we seem to understand what amoeba means, we feel it has nothing to do with this dungeon mission."
"A way to break the situation..."
"What exactly?"
There are still 700 million second-level zombies outside the tower, but there is not much time left for them.
Every corner has been carefully explored.
The entire high tower, or the black tower.
There is nothing here but these books.
Are the answers in the book?
But Gao Tian was afraid, afraid that after watching it, he would be like a memetic curse and become the next old professor.
Lin An was speechless for a moment.
indeed.
He and others rushed into the tower with all their might, but still couldn't find a way to break the situation.
"It can't be said that nothing was gained."
"At least we have figured out why zombies become stronger."
"As expected, according to the records, plane inspectors have discovered abnormalities here many times."
"It's not bad that the old professor appeared once or twice."
"Although it is only recorded three times in the notebook, a long, long time has passed since this group of people established the continent."
"Therefore, the event of using the properties of amoeba to achieve immortality must have happened more than three times."
"Combined with the above."
"The tower is abandoned, which means that the main force that built the tower has discovered the dangers of using amoeba to live forever."
"No matter how many new researchers come here, they all end up being one."
"And the last batch of immortals are most likely [improved] amoebas."
"They may want to create new ways of immortality."
"Maybe want to fight the Plane Patroller."
"For example, you can gain memory and strength without eating the other person, or you can only eat part of it."
"The zombies in this world should be the product of combining amoeba, so they can gain strength, memory, or everything else by absorbing the dead bodies of their own kind."
"Swallow... collectively become stronger..."
"From this point as a breakthrough, we should be able to find a solution..."
Before Lin An could finish speaking, a metallic sound like a mechanical creation suddenly sounded:
"Don't think about it anymore."
"The amoeba in this world has no solution."
"sulfuric acid!"
The long sword is unsheathed and the bow and arrow are unstrung.
Almost at the same time, Lin An and the others turned around suddenly and pointed their weapons at the source of the words.
Someone!
Or a machine?
The alloy long sword that was pulled out of its scabbard for the first time emitted a three-meter sword glow, and made a terrifying tearing sound.
Extreme sense of danger.
Lin An's eyes were fixed on the figure that appeared from the entrance.
Under his mental perception, this sudden sound had no fluctuations and was as if it were air.
"Who are you!?"
A sharp shout.
Zhang Tie instantly transformed into a giant silver bear, with red light flashing all over his body, ready to rush forward at any time.
The man in front of him was wearing a brown cloak and was about the size of a normal human being.
The face hidden under the cloak looks no different from a human being.
The sword is drawn and the crossbow is drawn.
After a short pause, the man opened his cloak and looked at Lin An and others indifferently:
"It doesn't matter who I am."
"I'm just curious, who are you?"
"This plane has been sealed, how did you get in?"
Like a machine talking.
Although it looks like a body of flesh and blood, its sound is like an electronic synthesized sound.
Lin An did not answer.
The system stipulates that the identity of oneself and others is not allowed to be revealed. If one reveals it, they will be wiped out by the system in an instant.
It has not been long since Huang Shaohua was punished by the system. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to violate the rules.
What's more, the mysterious man in front of me revealed too much information.
Plane?
Closed?
There were too many questions, and Lin An didn't choose to relax his vigilance when facing the sword in his hand.
Although the mysterious man appeared strangely, he didn't do anything secretly, and it didn't look like he had any malicious intentions.
However, we have to guard against:
"It doesn't matter who we are."
"But why do you say there is no solution for amoeba?"
"Are you the owner of the tower? Or a researcher left behind?"
The man in the cloak chuckled lightly, with a strange smile on his face.
Seeing this smile, Lin An inexplicably thought of someone.
This man's smile looked like Chu An's smile, also so stiff.
After being slightly stunned, the man in the cloak replied nonchalantly:
"It doesn't matter."
"It seems you have already read the notes."
"I am a researcher in the Black Tower, Klein."
"I listened to your speculation, and it's pretty good. At least it restored a lot of the truth."
"As for the amoeba?"
Klein's eyes flashed with ridicule, then he tilted his head and looked at Lin An:
"The sword can be put away. It's useless even if you kill me."
"Haven't you experienced the power of amoeba?"
"The zombies and humans outside the black tower are actually part of the amoeba."
"Unless you can kill everything in an instant, the amoeba will only get stronger and stronger."
"When one dies, all the zombies will become stronger."
"Well, it seems that you have strengthened the amoeba to the second level. It should be said that it is the second intermediate level."
"With your strength, give up..."
Not human?
Everyone is an amoeba!?
After hearing this, the compound bow in Gao Tian's hand shook, and he couldn't help shouting:
"impossible!"
"I've seen pictures of amoebas. The humans and zombies outside are obviously the same creatures as us!"
Unexpectedly.
Klein looked at Gao Tian as if he were an idiot:
"Can you ask such a question..."
"It seems that you haven't mastered the ability of genetic suturing yet."
"Those things outside have been sewn with amoeba genes."
"As improved breeds, they possess both memetic and biological characteristics."
"He looks like a human on the outside, but he's just a bug on the inside..."
"Haven't you ever come into contact with them? Whether they transform into zombies or not, they all like to cannibalize their own kind."
Lin An's heartbeat stopped, and pictures flashed through his mind.
Insect-eating Lin Ruolan, Polaka auction, soup ingredients, high-ranking nobles who have lost their humanity...
All...
insect!?
Is that why they act so crazy?
While Lin An was in shock, Klein stared at the black dragon on his wrist with interest:
"Are you explorers of the abyss world?"
"That's not right. The abyss world is also a good plane. How come you lack this basic knowledge?"
"But, it doesn't matter."
"I smell the aura of doomsday on you. Anyway, you should not be from the doomsday maker..."
Klein said a bunch of nouns that Lin An had never heard of, and then shrugged.
Compared to Chu An, he feels a little more human.
Although he was stiff, he felt a lot more emotional.
"The boy who signed the contract with the black dragon, are you interested in staying here with me?"
"You can't go anywhere anyway..."
"Oh, let me introduce you."
"I am a senior apprentice in the wizarding world, a plane researcher affiliated with Vault No. 97, Klein."
"This world is a man-made disaster, and it may not be the same as the disasters you will encounter in the apocalypse."
"so."
"Give up..."
"It won't give you a way out."
In an instant.
Cold all over.
Lin An suddenly realized what he had overlooked all this time.
