When I got home, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun is shining brightly and the temperature is scorching hot.
Fortunately, we spent the entire journey in an air-conditioned car. After getting out of the car, we immediately entered the house.
The bookstore is warm in winter and cool in summer all year round. No matter what the weather is like outside, the temperature in the bookstore is always a suitable 20 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, Lingpingan did not even break out a drop of sweat.
but……
He felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and made himself a cup of tea.
Meow!
Kitten Best meowed softly.
Lingpingan smiled and gave half of it to his pet.
One person and one cat, sitting at the counter in this hot summer, drinking fragrant tea, feeling that the world is extremely peaceful.
After drinking the tea, Lingpingan felt a little hungry.
So, I took out my mobile phone and ordered a beef rice bowl.
…………………………
Walking in the violent sand and dust.
Ran Bing crossed a deserted canyon with an expressionless expression.
In the dust ahead, there seemed to be a complex of buildings on the surface.
This made her frown.
Because, she saw, there were faint lights in those buildings!
As we all know, since the collapse of the old world, the surface of the earth is no longer suitable for life!
"Could it be..." she thought, "is it a protective umbrella?"
So, she immediately became excited.
The rifles in his hands made a low roar.
That's bullets dancing!
Ran Bing comforted it, and then switched it from rifle form back to revolver form.
Opening the magazine, the eight bullets cheered and changed their shapes.
It has changed from a high-explosive armor-piercing projectile specially used to kill scarlet beasts to a non-lethal shock projectile.
This is her spear spirit, the latest ability she has cultivated.
You can switch the form of bullets!
According to different needs, she can switch between high-explosive armor-piercing bombs, shock bombs, and grenades at any time.
Of course, different bullets consume different amounts.
For example, for high-explosive armor-piercing projectiles, she can only prepare up to eight rounds at a time.
The shock bomb is twelve rounds.
As for the grenade, it’s only one shot!
If she wants to increase the number, she must use her own flesh, blood and soul to refine the bullets!
Fortunately, she can feed herself with battle. There are many scarlet beasts in this world!
So there is no problem of too much consumption.
Holding the revolver in his hand, Ran Bing cautiously approached the building in front of him.
As she got closer, Ran Bing realized that this building complex was different from the ruins of the old world she had seen before.
It is built in the middle of a dry lake.
All buildings are relatively flat and short.
In the dust, a searchlight is constantly illuminating everything around it.
There was a faint human figure, shaking on the tower.
Ran Bing crawled on his hands and knees, carefully approaching in the sandstorm.
There is a high wall on the outside of this building complex. If you look up carefully, you can see a heavy machine gun on the high wall.
A man wearing an exoskeleton armor moves on the wall.
Ran Bing lay on the ground in the dust, looking up at their equipment.
The silver streamlined appearance is full of technological art and beauty.
There is no doubt that it is something that can only be made in the old world!
Seeing this, Ran Bing clenched his fists.
She moved gently and approached the high wall.
At this time, a whisper suddenly rang in my ears: "There are relics of the Kunyang people here..."
"Um?"
The murmuring voice whispered softly: "Yes, this is the relic of the Kunyang people!"
Ran Bing raised his head and looked at the top of the high wall.
She understood that she was close to the truth.
but……
How should she get in?
Looking at this heavily guarded place, surrounded by high walls, electric grids, heavy machine guns and even turrets.
Ran Bing was a little clueless.
"Go forward fifty meters, turn right..." A whisper in my ear suddenly said.
Ran Bing did as he was told.
She was lying on her hands and knees, moving forward slowly in the sandstorm, carefully avoiding the spotlight.
A few minutes later, she moved to a corner under the high wall.
There is a blind spot here that cannot be illuminated by searchlights.
"Pull up the soil..." said the murmur.
Ran Bing thought for a while and then obeyed.
She carefully used her hands to dig up the soil under her body bit by bit.
She dug the soil very quickly, and within a short time, she dug out a large hole of several dozen centimeters.
At this time, she saw a metallic color appearing at the bottom of the pit.
That's the color of bronze.
"What is this?" Ran Bing reached out and touched it. She felt a strange evil eye on the surface of the metal.
"Twist it!" whispered the voice. "Turn left three times, turn right three times, repeat the process ten times!"
Ran Bing did as he was told.
She gently twisted the protruding evil pupils.
Sure enough, it can be rotated, three times to the left, three times to the right, and repeated ten times.
There was a click, as if a mechanism had been opened.
Snap!
The whole land is collapsing!
Ran Bing fell down!
At this time, the guards and guards above her finally discovered it.
One after another, people wearing streamlined exoskeletons, like metal men, fell from the high wall.
"Oops!" They looked at the collapsed place: "Intruder!"
"Go and notify Dr. Carman!"
…………………………………………
Ran Bing followed the collapsed soil and metal and landed.
After landing at least several hundred meters, she finally saw the light.
That's a faint blue light!
Snapped!
Soil, stones and metal fell together into this vast underground world, making a dull and loud noise.
Ran Bing had already jumped into the cave on the other side.
Only then did she realize that the blue light in this underground world was emitted by the bryophytes living underground.
Does moss glow?
Moreover, it can also become a light source?
This is surprising enough in itself.
"Forward!" whispered a whisper in his ear.
Ran Bing picked up the revolver and looked at the front of the cave. There was what seemed to be a man-made pipe at the end.
Ran Bing walked over and walked to the pipe. With the light emitted by the bryophytes in the cave, she could clearly see the inscription on the pipe:!
It’s the protective umbrella!
That old world organization that has disappeared!
Ran Bing tried to drill into the pipe, but unfortunately failed because the pipe was too narrow!
But she discovered a new cave next to the pipe.
So, she walked in and walked forward along the cave. After walking for about a few hundred meters, a man-made heavy metal door appeared in front of her.
To her surprise, the door was ajar.
She opened it with a gentle pull.
It was dark inside the door, but when she walked in and sensed people entering, the lights began to light up.
What comes into view is a huge underground warehouse!
One after another, huge crystal jars are filled with them.
Pipes connected these crystal jars, and the jars were filled with humanoid creatures one after another.
They seem to have been dead for a long time.
But the bodies soaked in these crystal jars are still intact.
As if sensing humans, the creatures in the crystal jar suddenly regained their vitality.
Pair after pair of eyes opened.
Ruthless, indifferent, crazy...
They looked at Ran Bing collectively, making Ran Bing's scalp tingle.
"Ants enslaved by the ladder of the sun!" The whisper in my ear laughed.
"Stairway to the Sun?" Ran Bing didn't quite understand.
"The Staircase of the Sun is the tobacco of the Kunyang people!" A whisper said softly: "The Kunyang people grow these little things for fun and entertainment..."
A hazy picture flashed before Ran Bing's eyes.
Pyramids are built one after another underground.
One after another, hideous and terrifying plants were planted in the shade of the pyramid by certain creatures.
When they are in need, they descend on these pyramids, pull up bloody plants, grind these things into powder, and inhale them into the nasal cavity.
Paralyzing myself while puffing away the clouds.
The scene flashed by. Except for Ran Bing's impression of the so-called staircase of the sun, the rest was blurry.
"For the people of Kunyang, the Stairway to the Sun is tobacco..."
"But for most lower creatures, the Sun Staircase is a poisonous thing that can enslave and change the mind..."
"These test subjects are the poor guys who were deformed after being injected with the original solution of the Sun Staircase!"
"They have become slaves to the Staircase of the Sun!"
"It's hopeless!"
Ran Bing felt his scalp numb as he listened.
Because she finally realized that Umbrella Company was using humans for in vivo experiments!
These monsters in the crystal jar were created by them!
"There is a way..." Ran Bing looked at the monsters in the crystal jars, thinking that they might be the same kind, and couldn't help but ask: "Can we free them?"
"Simple……"
"Find the source of their enslavement!"
"Destroy it!"
"When the Sun Staircase is destroyed, all creatures enslaved and controlled by it will rot simultaneously!"
"Otherwise, they will never be freed!"
"Then..." Ran Bing asked: "Where is the Stairway to the Sun?"
"In the pyramids!" whispered the voice.
Ran Bing immediately took the revolver in his hand, turned around and walked out of the room.
She is going to find that pyramid and destroy what the whispers call the Stairway to the Sun!
As soon as they went out, a man wearing white exoskeleton armor appeared from the cave in front.
"Intruder!" He raised the weapon in his hand indifferently.
But Ran Bing was faster than him, and the revolver in his hand sprayed a shock bomb!
boom!
The bright light enveloped his entire sight, causing him to fall into a state of blindness. At the same time, a huge sonic boom sounded, paralyzing all the nerves in his body!
Even though he has been transformed.
However, in this inexplicable explosion, he was still completely paralyzed!
The moment Ran Bing pulled the trigger, he stepped forward against the light.
The shock bombs fired by her gun spirit are ineffective against her.
She quickly ran to the man who had collapsed on the ground, and easily grabbed the exoskeleton armor he was wearing.
At the prompt of the whisper in his ear, he easily unlocked his exoskeleton armor.
Drag a thin man out of it.
Ran Bing glanced at him, and his pupils suddenly dilated!
this person……
It's not human!
To be precise, the guy she was holding in her hand was a blend of human beings and some unknown creature!
"As a low-level creature, you can actually fuse the genes of a superior race!" Even the whisper in Ran Bing's ear was surprised: "Although the fusion is not successful, it is already a miracle in itself!"
At this time, sounds came from all directions, from the front, back, left, and right.
Obviously, the sonic boom just now alerted all the guards here.
Ran Bing didn't have time to think too much. He picked up the 'person' in his hand and moved forward quickly.
Guided by the whispers in her ears, she felt like a fish in water in this underground world and quickly disappeared into the layered maze of caves.
…………………………
Drowsily, Charles woke up.
He opened his eyes and found himself in a strange cave.
He didn't have time to think clearly about what happened.
He felt the trembling and coldness coming from his soul.
A gun barrel was pressed against his chin.
The cold barrel seemed to be alive. Some kind of monster, like a natural enemy, was whispering crazily, trying to devour all his flesh, blood and soul.
He raised his head and saw the person in front of him in the dim blue cave light.
A cold and charming girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was looking at him coldly.
The cold barrel of the gun was held in the girl's hand.
"Char!" the girl sneered and said to him, "I advise you not to act rashly!"
"Otherwise, my spear spirit will eat you!"
"The Kunyang Type A gene you fused and modified is a great supplement to my Spear Spirit!"
The barrel of the gun in her hand neighed greedily.
Ciel stared blankly at this girl, a mortal who had not undergone any transformation!
However, even such a mortal can threaten him!
The great genetic modifier, the immortal immortal!
Charles looked at this mortal, took a deep breath, and opened his completely deformed mouth. The insect-like mouthparts opened and closed like a flower bud: "What do you want?
?mortal!"
"Are you here seeking eternal life?"
In his opinion, this mortal had probably heard some legend.
How dare you invade the great eternal base!
It’s simply a matter of life and death!
The girl sneered: "What you call eternal life is not so much eternal life as a body!"
"It's all just a shell!"
"It's just a shell!"
Charles listened and swallowed, his snake-like pupils suddenly dilated: "How do you know?"
This is the biggest secret of the immortals!
They stole the immortality genes of the immortals!
But it also became the body of an immortal!
When the Eternals return, they will cease to exist!
It is this crazy truth that forces them to explore, discover and study everything left by the immortals!
I hope to find a way to get rid of the fate of the body!
but……
Now this secret has been revealed by a mortal girl who has not undergone genetic modification at all!
This made Charles panic immediately.
"How I know, it's not important!" The gun barrel in the girl's hand was pressed against his throat, and a deep chill came straight to his soul: "I ask you, was it you who caused the collapse of the old world?
"
Charles didn't answer.
But the girl's expression suddenly turned ferocious.
Anger shot out from her eyes, and she pulled the trigger in her hand.
boom!
Ciel's head was beaten to pieces.
The barrel of the gun greedily sucked the soul and flesh of the transformed man.
Soon, Ciel's body turned into a petrified statue.
The girl gave it a light kick, and the petrified statue immediately shattered into powder.
The girl let go of a nameplate on her right hand. It was the identity plate of the reformer named Charles. It contained all his information!
"Umbrella!" The girl raised her head: "I swear, I will destroy you!"
