Everyone in the cave looked at each other in shock. They didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"This joke is not funny." Chen Yue was upset and said coldly.
【So this is not a joke.】
AIC replied.
Chen Yue was not sure whether AIC could analyze the authenticity through facial micro-signs. Just in case, Chen Yue would express emotions that could not be truly expressed with a blank expression. She snorted coldly: "You want to say that Mu Su is dead?"
[Did I say that? I just said it was not a joke, not that it was a fact. If the expression is wrong, then I kindly ask you to open the Internet and let me access the language database for query. 】
"Don't even think about it."
【Oh, well, I will continue, maybe there will be real news. 】
Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and sat beside the bonfire.
Elsewhere, Joyce, who got the same result, was thoughtful.
The news about AIC is not without purpose, but Mu Su is not dead, which means... the emergence of AIC is likely to be related to Mu Su's danger...
Joyce deduced the truth and put the matter aside for the time being.
The three of them entered the cave from the cave passage.
The searchlight on the high platform shifted and hit the three people. They tilted their heads slightly and raised their hands to show the toothed rat.
Anthony took a few steps forward, narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted: "Dear soldier, we have brought back the supplies you requested!"
The shouts echoed in the cave, and several figures appeared beside the searchlight.
"Someone actually came back."
"Is that a tooth rat? They actually hit it."
There was a faint sound of conversation, the beam was moved away, and a head appeared on the edge and shouted down: "Come here quickly!"
The three of them carried the toothed rat on their backs again, and like other scavengers, they walked slowly toward the hanging wooden board with their rickety bodies.
Squeak——
After the three of them stood firm, the wooden board swayed up to the high platform.
The surrounding soldiers aimed their firearms at the three men and ordered them to go to an empty place and put down the tooth rat.
After they finished doing what they were told, a captain stepped forward and took a look at the rat's wound. He asked casually: "Did you kill this?"
Anthony bowed and said with full respect: "In order to survive, we just want to obtain untouchable status. I hope you can give us a chance."
Anthony's attitude and 15 points of eloquence came into play. The captain was very satisfied, his eyes swept over the three of them, and then fell on Ringo.
He seemed to have discovered something and walked towards Ringo.
Several people secretly exchanged glances. Anthony took a few steps forward to say something, but saw the captain sniffing his nose, hiding his nose in disgust and walking away.
He stepped back far away, his brows knitted together and he said contemptuously: "We keep what we say, you will be untouchables from now on. Go to the City Guards Mansion tomorrow to get your identity badge, and learn how to behave."
"Please wait a moment." Anthony said urgently: "We still have companions who have not collected supplies outside, and we want to go back and help them..."
He waved his hand impatiently: "If you want to go out and die, no one will care about you."
After receiving permission, the three people who had received the black point reward turned and walked towards the wooden board.
"stop."
A familiar deep voice came.
The three of them took a step and identified the owner of the voice.
"Sir!"
The soldiers and captains stood up and shouted.
The city guard officer came straight to the body of the toothed rat, glanced at it and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get these three toothed rats."
The three of them turned around, and Anthony said respectfully: "We encountered a nest of toothed rats, stun them with smoke and then kill them."
The city guard was a tall, middle-aged man with a thick beard that could almost rival Anthony's. His eyes were bloodshot and as fierce as a wild beast.
He carefully looked at the three Joyce bodies from top to bottom, and said coldly: "I hope you are not lying, go away."
"Yes...yes..." Anthony nodded hurriedly, and they sat down on the board together.
The captain approached the city guard and asked: "Sir, do they have any problems?"
The city guard spit out a mouthful of blood-streaked spit, licked the corner of his mouth and said, "They smell of blood. I don't know which unlucky man they snatched them from."
"Catch them back and interrogate them?"
"No, that's how they can be used. Don't be afraid of being ruthless, just be afraid of not fighting."
…
"Fortunately, there was no danger." The three of them walked into the cave, and the faint sense of gaze behind them disappeared, and Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.
They hurried back. Joyce called up the properties panel, switched to the black network, and clicked on the initial click.
The black points suddenly dropped to 900, and the black network suddenly changed. The originally blood-red dots were shrouded in black mist and flowed, and finally turned into pure black.
Several lines of new prompts appear below the dark web.
You have activated the dark web.
The Black Web provides common attribute point rewards, rare skill rewards and rare title rewards.
When you activate a node, you will be able to connect to the nodes connected to it. The skill reward is randomly generated every circle, and the title reward is completely random.
There are eight dots in the first circle outside the initial point, all of which are now activated, flowing with a liquid as red as blood. Joyce randomly chooses a spot to click on.
A black line spreads from the initial point along with the blood line, and the number of black points begins to decrease. After a few seconds, the black line invades the dot, and the black mist spreads, completely occupying the dot.
The black spot cost 200.
A line of subtitles appeared in the blank space at the bottom of the black website.
Random attribute points obtained: Agility +10.
A warm current surged up, Joyce switched back to the attribute panel, and his agility had reached 20 points.
In order to test the properties, Joyce performed an uncharacteristic behavior: he raised his legs straight above his head, as if he still had some strength left.
While Anthony and Ringo were stunned, Joyce said calmly: "Don't invest in the black network for now, I'm researching it."
…
Mu Su slowly woke up.
The severe pain in his chest made him reach out to touch it immediately.
The iron plate used as a heart shield was dented and skewered, leaving a bloody hole as thick as a finger on Mu Su's chest. Fortunately, it was not deep, and the bleeding had stopped.
The sharp weapon that caused the wound seems to have a calming component, which can quickly kill the prey without struggling to its death.
The blur in front of his eyes gradually became clearer, and he was lying inside a cave, with luminous plants on the top emitting fluorescent light to illuminate Shandong.
Mu Su struggled to get up and looked around. What he saw in front of him made him stunned.
Dozens, maybe more, of sticky white insect eggs stand on the ground. These half-human-high insect eggs are beating rhythmically, and you can vaguely see some kind of cubs moving inside. There is a small egg placed in front of each egg.
The body or torso of a living thing.
This is a nursery and has entered the incubation stage.
Before Mu Su could do anything, an insect egg not far away suddenly began to shake slightly.
It seemed to be the first drop of rain at the beginning, and hundreds of insect eggs began to sway restlessly one after another...
…
Joyce activated the second dot, giving him 10 points of unlocking attributes and spending 300 black points.
Consumption actually increases.
Joyce was about to use his last 400 points to activate the third dot, when AIC arrived as promised.
[Ding~ Tester Mu Su has died, please choose his legacy: corpse, ashes, feces or juice. ]
