Walking in the lighted area, Wang Jun observed everything around him.
The civilization of the underground city was completely different from what he knew. Between his two lifetimes of knowledge, he had never seen similar ground and building structures.
The streets, which are white, neat and more than ten meters wide, are all one-piece structures with no gaps visible.
Every few dozen meters, there are pairs of street lights standing on both sides of the street.
There is no gap visible at the junction between the street lamp and the ground. What's even more weird is that this special material glows with a shimmering light, and the light has the cleaning power to purify dust.
In the center of the road, rectangular flower beds are arranged every five meters.
The flowerbed is one meter wide and three meters long, with fluorescent plants planted in it.
There are flowers, grass, and small trees...
Plants underground are very similar to plants above ground.
For example, there is an unknown fluorescent plant that looks like a four-leaf clover. The shape of the blades and the appearance of the rhizome are almost the same as the four-leaf clover on the ground. Only the leaves are translucent and naturally emit a blue-blue light, as if they do not need the sun.
, can carry out photosynthesis by itself.
Walking here feels somewhat magical.
If it weren't for the very solid touch coming from the soles of his feet, which secretly pinched the blue skin of his forearms, Wang Jun would probably have thought that he had entered a dream.
Not long after, he came to a pure white building shaped like an upside-down bowl.
Ye Zhen introduced: "Go in, you might know the person inside."
Familiar people... Wang Jun frowned, and the rotating scenes were shown in his mind, cutting to everyone he had met in the past few days.
I have no clue at all, so it’s better not to think about it.
Wang Jun turned to ask: "What is this building?"
"The organization first discovered this satellite city. At that time, it was impossible to light up the lights in the city. It was not until a year after the exploration that someone opened a similar building by chance. We did not know that this kind of building was the energy storage node of the entire city.
"Ye Zhen explained.
Wang Jun nodded and then walked into the building in front of him.
Passing through the long corridor, you come to a completely transparent and spacious room. In the center of the room stands an energy pillar, and a person is imprisoned in the pillar.
This person has disheveled hair, wearing a white vest and black casual pants. His two exposed feet are not human-shaped. The second half is similar to that of an ordinary person, except that the skin is slightly peeled off and bleeding. The front half of the toes are particularly disgusting.
Tentacles as thick as noodles are entangled and formed, mimicking human toes.
From time to time, the toes will split apart and turn into a dozen tentacles with sharp barbs.
Ye Zhen said: "He used to be a human, but now he is a mutant. Can you remember his name?"
Wang Jun shook his head, "I have no impression."
"You and he are both members of the Lingyun Ecological Project Team, but he is an internal member and has higher authority than you."
After a brief pause, Ye Zhen continued:
"His name is Liu Jia, and he is your team leader."
Wang Jun's eyes widened, "It's impossible. The team leader died two days before the explosion in the Lingyun Ecological Project Laboratory. At that time, the Red Umbrella Company issued an announcement."
"That announcement was just for show. In fact, because of personal greed, Liu Jia secretly came into contact with the natural aura gemstone, causing physical changes, and then fled overnight."
"How did you catch him?"
"It can be considered a coincidence. This guy mutated and became a mutant. He had extraordinary abilities, but no ability to survive in the wild. At that time, he escaped to the wilderness and hunted by controlling the mutants wandering in the wilderness. Unfortunately, some time ago, I
We were leading people out to do errands and before returning to City 36, this guy bumped into our hands."
"Liu Jia is the survivor of the experimental explosion that Red Umbrella Company is offering a reward for?"
"That's right, besides you, it's him."
"No wonder I heard a few days ago that there was another survivor."
What Wang Jun experienced at that time was that 36 survivors were cleared out. One of them and I managed to escape by luck, and all the other 35 people died. This was clearly a confirmed fact, but then one more person appeared inexplicably. This matter was hidden in his heart.
It's a pimple.
"The Red Umbrella Company's efforts to arrest him and you are far greater than you think. It's just that the special nature of Black Front Alley makes Kobe Fengshan so suspicious that he didn't dare to leave the chess pieces for a long time."
Ye Zhen took off the long sword from his back and struck it on the ground.
Wang Jun blinked slightly, thought for a while, and said, "He and I both entered Black Front Alley. I don't know how much of it is a coincidence."
"Don't make blind guesses. No one really arranged this matter. Even the extremely smart guy Chen Yangmei couldn't make such an incredible arrangement."
Wang Jun clearly noticed a trace of uncertainty in Ye Zhen's tone.
At this time, Ye Zhen said: "Red Umbrella Company is too nervous about you two. There must be some important information leaked, such as Lingyun Ecology's database."
The hair on the back of Wang Jun's neck stood up, the Lingyun chip was exposed?!
"Don't be nervous. Both you and Liu Jia have been secretly inspected by us. We have long ruled out the possibility of the information being taken away by you two."
First, eliminate the correct answers...Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Zhendao: "Actually, even if the information is really in your hands, we will not infringe it at will. For that cause, our Chiqi philosophy is to unite all forces that can be united. Naturally, you and Red Umbrella Company should stand together.
opposite."
Immediately afterwards, he told the story of Wang Jun's parents' death 17 years ago.
Wang Jun listened silently, but said in his heart: "It has been analyzed in advance."
He did not interrupt Ye Zhen because there was no way to explain the source of the information channel. It was impossible to get a valid answer by relying directly on guessing. If Wang Jun's attitude was very certain, it would expose the fact that there was another information channel.
In other words, it is very likely that Qi's existence will be exposed.
Qi is an artificial intelligence, but it has self-awareness and independent personality. Putting aside its unreliable personality, looking at its ability alone, it is definitely a rare help and should not be exposed easily.
Ye Zhendao: "You once worked in the Red Umbrella Company, so you should have heard of mutants."
"We generally know that mutants are incompatible with humans. Although they look like humans, they have very different personalities and feed on humans," Wang Jun said.
"Correction," Ye Zhen stretched out his index finger and shook it slightly, "It is indeed considered eating humans, but the way they eat is very special. It is not through the mouth, but..."
Ye Zhen clapped his hands, and not far away, a staff member wearing a mask brought a tablet computer, which showed a scene of mutants eating.
One of them is obviously someone else, Liu Jia.
There are many different eating scenes, including but not limited to: mutants eating humans, mutants devouring mutants, and mutants sucking plants until they dry up.
Ye Zhen's plain voice sounded slowly.
"It can be said that there is no difference in what they eat, as long as they are alive, they are edible."
"Over the years, federal experts and scholars have concluded that humans are mutants' favorite food, especially superhumans and newborn babies."
"Both are considered delicacies by mutants."
"But the former is a hard dish on the table, and the latter is an appetizer and dessert. The vast majority of mutants are eliminated soon after they are born, but there are always some exceptions, and there are always some people who are moved by family, love or friendship.
They feel compassion, but their final outcome is never good."
Ye Zhen winked, and the staff member quickly clicked on the tablet with his right hand.
A large projection screen emerges from the transparent glass wall.
The scenes displayed on the screen were bloody and dripping. The first thing shown was a young man in his early 20s who revealed his true identity as a mutant and sucked the entire family, from parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters into mummies.
There is no extraordinary person in this family, but they have a baby who is only three months old.
This baby is the young man's youngest sister, but his eyes are cold, like a sheep looking at grass, which does not affect his eating at all.
There is another picture that belongs to Liu Jia, not the human Liu Jia, but the mutant Liu Jia.
It was a surveillance video, and it seemed to be a pornographic place in the Lower Third District.
Liu Jia concealed his identity, which was perfect for him to stay in a place where it was inconvenient to record guests' identity information.
He was crazy, but he didn't lose his mind, and he had an accurate understanding of his own strength.
A level 1 person cannot make it through the waves at all. As long as he is exposed to the fact that he has become a mutant, he will never live to see the sun the next morning.
The surveillance screen showed the time. The pornographic establishment he stayed at was a family-run establishment, with a still-charming madam in her 30s and three women in their early 20s.
It was early at night when Liu Jia walked out of that place. He was accompanied by a petite woman. The woman's face was full of fear, her pupils expanded and contracted irregularly. She was so frightened that she went insane and could only repeat one sentence.
: "Don't eat me."
Then, the scene changed and there were only three mummies left in the "family workshop".
The corpses of the two young women were completely naked, their skin was gray and black, without any of the beautiful skin they had in life. They were hugging each other, and their four legs were twisted off and thrown aside.
The bustard seemed to have been cut into four equal parts by a cross and scattered on the ground. The left and right eyes were aligned with each other, conveying a strong sense of despair.
The picture is far from over here. These two cases are just the harm caused by a mutant who has just reached level 1.
There will be more serious consequences in the future, involving an urban area or affecting a city...
In just ten minutes, Wang Jun took a rough look at those pictures, and he could not suppress the feelings of nausea, nausea, and anger in his heart.
This is the instinctive reaction of living creatures when they see the same kind being eaten by predators. Human beings are not exempt from this, and Wang Jun is not exempt from it.
"Very good, remember your current emotions," Ye Zhen raised his right hand and pointed at Liu Jia, who was trapped in the energy column, "There is a mutant in front of you now, what do you want to do?"
Wang Jun did not hesitate and uttered a single word decisively: "Kill!!!"
"I'm just waiting for your words," Ye Zhen grinned slightly, "I called you here today mainly because I want you to experience for yourself what a mutant is."
Click~click~
The transparent glass in front of Wang Jun suddenly opened a crack, and then the crack quickly outlined two transparent doors. The doors slowly moved to both sides, leaving a passage for a single person to pass.
Wang Jun said: "You want me to fight mutants."
"What you used was not a question, but a statement." Ye Zhen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing appreciation in his eyes.
Wang Jun: "As long as you are a bloody person, you will not be indifferent after seeing those scenes just now. I will not hold back even a little bit when I take action. If you accidentally kill this bastard, don't blame me.
"
Ye Zhen waved his hands indifferently, "If you need any weapons, just ask."
"No need, I have it." Wang Jun turned his right hand over and held the dragon tooth dagger tightly.
Ye Zhen looked at his left hand without trace, "I heard that you use two-handed weapons, where is the other one?"
"It will naturally appear when it is time to use it." Wang Jun said.
Ye Zhen: "Okay, then go in. The next battle will be regarded as your interview."
Wang Jun turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "Interview?"
"I am also a boss after all, so of course I have to personally review the selection of people."
Ye Zhen smiled and immediately regained his poker face.
"The dirty talk comes first. You are level 1, and the guy inside is also level 1. After you two take action, neither I nor the people around you will help you. If you want to survive, you must use all your skills and don't slack off at all."
Brother Ye is giving me a warning... Wang Jun said: "Thank you."
After speaking, he stepped forward and entered the single-passage portal into the palace.
Click~click~
The transparent glass door was quickly sealed, and the energy column slowly disappeared from top to bottom.
The disheveled Liu Jia grinned and showed a sunny and easy-going smile to Wang Jun.
"You are...Wang Jun."
He seemed to recognize it for two seconds and thought of Wang Jun's name.
Then, Liu Jia said in a familiar manner: "Remember me, I am your team leader."
Wang Jun was unmoved, holding the dragon tooth dagger in his right hand, looking at Liu Jia as if he were looking at a cold corpse.
Before the energy pillar disappeared, Liu Jia continued: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the guys outside. They are all trash from Black Front Alley. Everything I just told you is a lie. In fact, they want to take away the key technology from me.
"
As he spoke, he raised his right foot and showed it.
"See, I found a major breakthrough that Chen Yangmei didn't even discover. Human beings and Lingyun ecology can coexist, but they just need to pay a small price."
Wang Jun remained speechless, watching silently as the energy column finally dissipated.
"Hey~~~" Liu Jia sighed, shook his head and said, "Why don't you believe me?"
At this time, Wang Jun said: "You have become a mutant, and mutants are not humans."
"But we know each other. When you first joined the group, I took good care of you. You can't fake it." Liu Jia spread his hands and walked forward, as if he didn't have any defense against Wang Jun.
Wang Jun said: "Thank you."
A strange joy flashed in Liu Jia's eyes, "As expected of a researcher from my Red Umbrella Company, he is much more sensible."
The next second, Wang Jun disappeared in a flash, and Wang Jun's figure disappeared from Liu Jia's sight.
stamp!!!
The blade penetrates the flesh and goes straight to the heart.
Wang Jun slowly pulled out the dragon tooth dagger and said coldly: "You shouldn't eat people."
Liu Jia's pupils dilated, his hands stiffened, and he moved inch by inch toward his heart, desperately trying to cover the flowing blood.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water echoed around him, and the strange purple blood from Liu Jia's heart surged out.
The purple blood condensed on the edge, transformed into a spear, and headed straight for Wang Jun's head.
"Death!" Liu Jia had a smile on his lips and a ferocious face, like an evil ghost thirsting for killing.
歘昘~歘昘~
More than a dozen purple blood spears poked Wang Jun's head.
Liu Jia raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You're a waste who doesn't have enough life..."
He was about to taunt, but he saw that Wang Jun's skin turned into water color after his head was shot.
Not the real body!!!
Liu Jia's eyes widened and he turned around quickly, "You..."
The dragon tooth dagger cut horizontally, and the sharp blade flashed past with cold light.
The blade was faster than the sound, flying through the air and breaking Liu Jia's neck. Wang Jun lifted Liu Jia's head and jumped back three steps.
At this time, the human-shaped ice mirror in front shattered into powder.
"Pretending to be dead and fighting back is an old trick from decades ago." Wang Jun shook his head.
"It's not that easy for me to die." Liu Jia's voice was crazy, his eyes were filled with purple blood, and two purple lights condensed, catching Wang Jun's eyes, "Drain life!"
