I don’t know how long I drove, but the vehicle stopped at the transfer point.
This is an area under non-governmental jurisdiction, with crowds and noise, and a turbid atmosphere in the air.
The streets are filled with dirty gray trading places. This is not their final stop, but a collective quarantine point.
Tang Rou knew for the first time that entering the black market required so many checkpoints and tests.
Mercenary Liz's face remained black and red, and he explained to her honestly, "We need to check whether you carry mutant biological samples on your body."
Recently, many people have experienced physical changes, and there have been bleeding incidents before. For safety reasons, they must be tested before entering the underground trading center.
The abducted men and women took off the hemp ropes on their hands and pushed them into a room full of iron cages.
A new lock was put on Tang Rou's wrist, she was tied with others with a steel chain, and she was stuffed into a cage with her head held down like an animal.
Cries kept coming and going, noisily.
The mercenaries walked out and closed the door. Only these young men and women who were about to be treated as commodities were left in the room.
Some of them will be auctioned for their superior skins. Whether they end up in the red light district or are used as playthings or slaves, they can all be considered lucky.
Others who are physically strong will be captured and given private transformation in the hands of powerful and wealthy people.
The rest will be dissected and valuable organs removed.
Everyone has a sense of despair that death is coming.
Tang Rou was locked up, with metal chains stringing people up in rows, like animals.
She was pushed and knocked to the ground by the broker, and the necklace around her neck was exposed, with a crystal clear piece hanging on it.
The broker immediately saw the meat like a falcon, his eyes were shining, and he stretched out his hand to pull it.
However, the next second he screamed and threw the thing on the ground, holding his bleeding hands with anger on his face.
"What the hell is this!"
Tang Rou picked it up sideways, turned her hands behind her back, and groped for the scale on the floor, which she made into a necklace after the mermaid gave it to her.
If you touch something dull, how can it hurt someone?
The broker cursed harshly, but the blood on his hand continued to flow, and there was a strange and heartbreaking pain. It was obviously a flesh wound, but the pain made it look as if the entire palm of his hand had been crushed.
He hurriedly went out to stop the bleeding, and the broker held his hands and left. As soon as he left, the little girl next to him began to tremble, with tears streaming down his face.
"Oops, he will definitely take revenge on us when he comes back soon. It's all your fault!"
Tang Rou was confused, why was she the one who was wrong when he pulled her necklace and cut her hand?
But he ignored it, thinking of something, he pinched the thin scale and rubbed it against the chain.
The little girl immediately stopped in panic, "What are you doing! Don't make a sound, you will be targeted again soon!"
Tang Rou still ignored it, and when she thought to herself, 'It can't be so exaggerated,' she already cut the chain open with her hands.
The people next to her looked at her in shock.
What weapon did she take?! No wonder she felt confident along the way!
A high-tech portable weapon that can cut metal chains?
The little girl's expression changed and she stammered, "What's in your hand?"
Tang Rou was also a little surprised. She was just trying to rub it, after all, the mermaid had pulled out the scales several times and gave them to her, as if she was told to carry them close to her body and never take them off.
After thinking about it, let’s not say this thing is ironclad.
That level 4 experiment stopped a bullet, and even a small condensation fusion weapon couldn't damage it.
She said quietly, "Fish scales."
"..." the little girl said tremblingly, "Sister, you are quite humorous, but I am not in the mood to listen to jokes now."
Tang Rou was also helpless, she was telling the truth.
The other party hesitated to speak, his little face gradually turned red, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Tang Rou asked considerately, "Want to help you?"
At this moment, in response to the call, everyone in the room gathered around and stretched out their hands in front of her.
The earthquake also started at this time.
However, the earthquake became more and more intense, cracks appeared on the wall of the room, and the wall material fell off, leaving a cloud of dust.
It felt as if the ground beneath my feet was about to be torn apart.
People's panicked screams could be heard outside the window, and they were shouting something vaguely. People kept running into the room, while others rushed out, looking up at the sky as if they were crazy.
The air was tinged with the restlessness of an impending storm.
At the same time, the earthquake under my feet became stronger and stronger, as if there was some huge and indescribable existence trying to climb out of the abyss.
Tang Rou was stunned and looked down at the beautiful scales in her hand.
No way……
The scales only cut off her own handcuffs, and when they were used by others, they became dull, like a salted fish strike.
Now, those people no longer begged her to cut off the chains. They were frightened and afraid of being buried in the collapsed house.
With a "bang" sound, several mercenaries opened the door and rushed in, escorting the prisoners and trying to put them into the car and transport them away.
Tang Rou sat back and said calmly, "Maybe you shouldn't kidnap me."
The bald man groaned, "Pick her up to me."
Tang Rou, who had just sat down, was lifted up again, with a sullen face. Several people clicked a new chain on her hand.
What an old-fashioned way of kidnapping.
Out of humanitarian concern, she said, "I think you'd better let go of me, otherwise..."
"Shut up! Get up here!"
The cold barrel of the gun hit her shoulder, causing her to frown.
Tang Rou stopped talking and listened to the chaotic exclamations outside. She lowered her head and tried to take off the chain again.
This look is so undignified.
But the window was suddenly smashed, and the wall collapsed, exposing the steel and iron bones in the concrete.
There was another clang, and the metal door was hit by a heavy object and severely deformed. The next second it broke away from the door frame and flew to the ground, making a huge noise.
Someone screamed and fell to the ground.
Behind the collapsed building surged countless dark green tentacles, wreaking havoc on the room.
The sky and the earth became dim, and the hideous and terrifying alien objects made everyone tremble with fear. The mercenaries picked up their guns and kept hitting them, unable to even break the surface.
Now there was no one to care about her. Tang Rou reached out and pulled the chain on her body, looking like an agitated cat.
Someone saw the huge ferocious tentacle reaching the young woman and cutting open the chain on her body.
The little girl who kept screaming almost fainted with fright. She looked like she would die if she kept shouting at the top of her lungs. She watched the dark green wrapping around Tang Rou's body and was so frightened that she stretched out her hands to cover her eyes.
As a result, the tentacles cut off the chain, then gently wrapped their arms around her, like a hug, lovingly wrapping their arms around her.
Alien creatures do not see the world with "eyes".
If she could understand their unique frequency language, she would hear that every dark green tentacle was conveying lingering thoughts to her.
I miss you.
Miss you very much.
As soon as we separated, I started to miss you.
Tang Rou felt safe as she was held by the tentacles.
But the battle was too big, so she had to ensure the safety of this land.
So she asked, "Where is Narcissus?"
The tentacles immediately became dead and motionless.
Tang Rou stretched out her hand to poke it, but there was no response and she even retracted it.
But the screaming crowd outside gave her the answer, "It's the sky outside!"
Only then did Tang Rou realize that the sky had darkened at some point.
