Chapter 22: Changes in the camp after S clears the level
The surrounding scene changed, and Ji Xun found that he had escaped from the weird secret room just now.
It's a magical experience, like time and space teleportation. Stepping into the distorted light gate is another world.
He just wanted to observe the environment, but there was thick fog all around and visibility was extremely low.
There is still a strong smell of sulfur in the air.
Just when Ji Xun was guessing where this place was, he heard a familiar and urgent voice next to his ear: "Follow me quickly!"
The person who came was none other than Chujiu, who came out of the extradimensional space first.
What Ji Xun didn't know was that when he entered the S rating on the checkout page, drastic changes occurred outside the extradimensional space at the same time.
.......
Every extra-dimensional space is a treasure cave for treasure hunters.
The [407 Asylum] discovered in the Devil's Crossing ruins is even more famous for its high-yield treasure space.
Naturally, explorers are indispensable.
There is a temporary camp not far outside the space, with a blazing bonfire.
Dozens of people from the Blackwater Mercenary Group are stationed here, as well as one to two hundred treasure hunters who are preparing to enter space next time.
In a shed in the corner of the camp, the leader of the Blackwater Mercenary Group was respectfully guarding a young man in a suit. The bald captain who came out alive was reporting something to Cao Yu, the fourth young master of the Cao family.
After leaving the extradimensional space, Cao Yu's frown never relaxed.
He just received a B-level evaluation for clearance, which is far from what was expected.
He kept thinking about how to choose the last clown game in space, so that he could find other better solutions.
Although a loyal old servant died, fortunately it was not completely worthless, at least valuable information was obtained.
Now that it is confirmed that the "T-level catastrophic object" is in space, he must get it no matter what means he uses!
The bald captain was still narrating his experience of leading two mercenary teams from the first floor of the bunker to the end: "Master, those monsters are too ferocious. If we hadn't had enough firepower..."
From this guy's perspective, he didn't know how Ji Xun and his wife survived to the end.
It seemed that they were just lucky. Every time the monsters were attacked by their Blackwater mercenary group, the two guys hid far enough away to avoid being targeted by the monsters.
From his perspective, if they hadn't attracted the hatred of monsters, it would have been absolutely impossible for the two of them to survive to the end.
Of course, even if there are some vague guesses, we can't say anything at this moment.
He only made exaggerated remarks about how heroic the Blackwater mercenary group was, and how they encountered all kinds of horrific disasters along the way. In the end, they relied solely on his bald command strategy and the bravery of his teammates.
At the end, the bald man didn't forget to add: "Hey, what a pity, brothers."
"..."
After hearing the bald man's customs clearance experience, Cao Yu not only failed to answer his questions, but the doubtful look in his eyes became more and more intense.
The hidden thread of this space was triggered by him himself. How could he not know the danger?
It stands to reason that except for a group of people who followed him, no one else would be alive.
But I didn't expect that even in this difficult situation where death was almost certain, a few people actually survived.
The bald man actually explained in detail, what happened when he encountered the A-level [Spell Gambler], how many people died along the way when he encountered the mysterious A-level disaster on the fourth floor, etc. These were all what he expected.
But when he heard the broken wall in room 2012, Cao Yu felt something was wrong.
Can walls be broken down?
He had directly used the secret method recorded in the family inheritance archives to find the passage to the laboratory, and then directly entered the central control room of the bunker.
It turns out that there is a saying that you can break through the wall?
My mind suddenly opened up.
After listening, Cao Yu asked: "You mean, when you entered, the wall of Room 2013 was already broken?"
"Yes."
Baldhead still hasn't figured out why there is a hole in the wall of room 2013.
Obviously everyone has tried and the wall cannot be broken.
That room happened to be broken open.
He was also very smart and did not talk too much about things that had nothing to do with his own merits.
But the more Cao Yu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Since the hole is in Room 2013, there is no reason why we should not encounter the [Fallen Witch] at the other end of Room 2012.
He asked again: "Didn't you meet the [Fallen Witch] on the second floor?"
This question also made the bald man feel strange: "No...no."
Was he killed?
An idea came to Cao Yu's mind, but he immediately felt that he was overthinking it.
Since they weren't killed by mercenaries, how could the two Sanren have the ability to hunt down the fallen witch?
Most likely it's just luck that didn't happen to you.
After all, this extra-dimensional space is restricted to only card master apprentices. The strength of the [Fallen Witch] makes it impossible for these downtown hunters to kill it.
The only reasonable explanation is that two random people accidentally broke the wall due to some unknown luck, and then... survived to the end?
That's not right either...
No matter which monster they encounter in the laboratory behind the wall, it's not something that two individuals can handle.
Is it really the bald man who said he was so lucky that he avoided it every time?
Cao Yu always felt that something was wrong.
The picture flashed in his mind, and he thought about the last moment. The two guys didn't even take the gun until the last moment. That kind of calmness was definitely not luck.
Or maybe I really misunderstood and are just a pair of fateful mandarin ducks?
Cao Yu didn't think about it for a while. He glanced at the bald man in front of him again and asked coldly: "That's all you want to say? Is there anything else?"
The bald man looked at the young man's expression and suddenly felt something was wrong, but he said everything he needed to say, so he responded: "No...no more."
Cao Yu waved his hand lightly and gave an order to someone unknown, "Kill him."
Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, there is no value anymore.
Upon seeing this, the bald man's face suddenly changed, and he instantly realized something.
This young man definitely didn't kill him because of anything else, but because he heard the secret.
That mechanical clown said that there is an ancient catastrophic object in this extra-dimensional space. What kind of epic source card is it?
"Master..."
He just wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could open his mouth, a blood line appeared on his neck.
In the blink of an eye, the head fell to the ground, and blood spurted three feet away.
Blood mist spurted out, and only then was a transparent figure in the air visible to the naked eye, flashing and disappearing.
This is the secret guard of the Governor's Palace.
"..."
The leader of the Blackwater Mercenary Group, Yu, glanced at the human body fountain in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat suddenly covered his back.
At this moment, he didn't dare to stand up for his subordinates, he just hoped that he didn't hear any secrets that he shouldn't have heard just now.
Even though their Blackwater mercenary group has thousands of people, it can be considered a good mercenary group in Innocence City.
But in front of this person, it only takes one sentence to destroy the group.
Cao Yu ordered the bald man to be killed, without even looking at him, and just murmured to himself: "It's strange, what part of the problem went wrong?"
This bald man is the only living person in the space other than himself. He must die and the secret of the epic source card must not be exposed.
...
Cao Yu got the information from Bald Head and already had a comprehensive understanding of the layout of the entire extra-dimensional space.
He also guessed that maybe he was stuck at the last moment because he took a shortcut and lacked some key clues to break the situation.
He also thought that the next time he went in, he would send someone from Room 2013 to try the path through the wall to see if any key clues could be found.
Some mercenaries have been posted near the exit of space 407, as well as several card master captains. No one has noticed anyone coming out for so long, and he is sure that the two guys before were dead inside.
Cao Yu couldn't think of any other possibility.
What if...
No chance.
No matter what, they are just two card master apprentices.
Thinking of this, he waited in the camp.
Waiting for a few more hours, the extradimensional space will be restarted, and the portal will be condensed again.
But he never expected that a certain individual in the space was no ordinary person.
It was because of this oversight that a big change occurred!
As time went by, the fog outside Devil's Crossing Camp became increasingly dense, and the visibility was almost only a few meters covered by the campfire.
Although this ruins has been filled with thick fog all year round, it always feels like the fog is even greater today.
This made Cao Yu feel a little irritable.
He didn't know if the humid air and pungent volcanic ash made him unhappy, or if it was because of something else.
If it wasn't for that T-level catastrophic object, why would he have come to this ghost place that only people from the lower city come to.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly in the distance.
"Hey... Captain, it's bad! The portal in the 407 extra-dimensional space has disappeared!"
"How is it possible! How could it disappear?"
"..."
All of a sudden, the whole camp was in a state of excitement.
When the fourth young master of the Cao family heard the news, he jumped up from his chair and his face instantly turned livid.
Although he couldn't believe it, he also guessed something: it was the two guys who just cleared the extra-dimensional space!
