Returning from the abyss

Chapter 74
The temperature inside the flying saucer has reached minus seven degrees.

"Ice Ghost" and "Gardener" held back the footsteps of Sun Mozhu and the others. Although they couldn't cause effective damage, it was impossible to walk too fast if they were always on guard against the severe cold.

Lu Ning didn't know the existence of the "gardener", but she knew that support would not come soon just because of the cold. In other words, she might be left alone.

She hadn't forgotten that there was another guy on this floor who made a hole and pulled herself down.

Now Lu Ning is following some kind of "instruction" and running in one direction.It was the "moving red mist" that appeared in her vision after killing the lizard born in that room.

I thought it was the one upstairs chasing it down, but after careful observation, I can see that the red mist was slowly absorbed by the dead lizard corpses on the ground, and then moved along the metal wall.

In this way, a clear indicator line was formed on the ground, an indicator line that only she could see.

As long as you follow the red mist, you will definitely find something——Lu Ning, who has made such a judgment, now supports her body and traces the end of the red mist.

However, after 10 minutes, she stopped in front of a metal wall.

This is a dead end, the red mist passed under the wall and disappeared, and she touched all the places on the wall, but she couldn't find a way to get through.

Detour, it may be too late.

Lu Ding coughed twice heavily, and there was a warm feeling on the hand covering his mouth.

As expected, the murderous penetrating body still caused damage to the body. If it was a normal situation, it might be cured after a sleep, but it became the last straw in such a harsh environment.

It's right in front of your eyes——

She supported the wall with all her strength, and continued to knock unwillingly, trying to find a place where she could pass.

"about to die……"

[You are dying. 】

"Who……"

The eyelids were already extremely heavy, and the body was falling downwards as if being weighed down by a heavy weight. It was no longer possible to tell whether the voices in his consciousness were hallucinations or real.

[It's a pity that your life is wasted like this, do you want to contribute it?At least it can be regarded as a continuation, but of course there is a price. 】

"What are you doing... Can you still choose to switch camps now..."

Lu Ning grinned.

"Come out early, then you don't have to work so hard..."

【Then, your answer is—】

"I want to live and live happier than anyone else."

"The unlucky mastermind is fooling people again."

Pei Xuan on the shore had already changed into a diving suit, but he saved the oxygen cylinder and the like.

"The problem of picking up people when they see them is also a problem engraved in the genes. After all, what it must execute is to collect various genes from this world to build a body suitable for the protoss. Even if the children of the heavens have been completed, this process will still continue. Carry on."

Cheng Wuling threw a tight waterproof bag to Pei Xuan.

"What's this?"

"Lu Ning is a 'companion' after waking up, give this to her, and then do as I told you before. In addition, I will use your second chance to kill Sun Mozhu."

"Kill her? Why..."

"As for the mission, it's most appropriate for her to die at this point. The other three should be intimidated properly. When killing Sun Mozhu, don't let her touch the ground and walls of the flying saucer."

"Troublesome work."

"Why don't you bother me? Yu Chan will be back here at seven o'clock in the morning. Before that, we have to deal with all the problems in the flying saucer."

"Follow orders, hahaha!"

Pei Xuan laughed and jumped into the water.

The darkness magnifies the senses beyond vision infinitely.The coldness has soaked through the bone marrow. It is impossible for normal human beings to have such a body temperature. Usually, people who become this temperature will be called - "corpse".

Yet consciousness remains.

The whispers that gradually began to reverberate in his head were like prayers and ravings.The feeling of unknown blood flowing in the body began to become extremely clear at this moment, bringing a sense of happiness like heaven.

At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly raised her arms.

click!
The not-so-heavy cover was blown away with a blow, and the green jelly-like liquid began to flow out, the lungs were in contact with the air again, and at the same time, there was a burning pain in the throat.

[Warning, Son of Shadow is not finished——]

The red mist line was engulfed by an even bigger red mist, and the voice that had been echoing in his mind was cut off.

"So dangerous, so dangerous."

Lu Ning smiled and slowly got up from the "coffin".Her right arm and leg were covered with unknown black substances, and the wounds on her body were also blocked by these substances, and her right eye showed congestion symptoms like those rampant monsters in the hospital.

Although he couldn't see his own appearance, he wanted to know what was going on.

The "Shadow Child" ceremony is only halfway through. She has already left the category of 'human', but she has not yet reached that step.

"It's hard to understand, you actually rejected this way of life."

There was a person standing outside the door. Lu Ning still remembered the solid blood mist. It was the dark red color that only the children of heaven would gather, so...

"Pei Xuan, why did Cheng Wuling call you here?"

She tilted her head and asked.

"Let's take a look at the situation, and I'll bring you some gifts by the way... who knew that you woke up early." Pei Xuanyang threw out the waterproof bag and sneered, "I'm afraid Cheng Wuling misjudged the wrong person this time. Your current body There are probably less than 24 hours left."

"Oh?"

"Even if you are only partially transformed into a child of shadow, I can read your physical state. Although humans and children of shadow both have genes from humans, the part that belongs to the protoss will have violent conflicts. You will soon Will die from self-immunity... that would be miserable, right? Hahahaha!"

Pei Xuan made no secret of his malice.

"Don't bother, since you didn't kill me, does that mean there's no need for it?"

"No need, I'm happy to watch how you guys die. Now that Cheng Wuling's plan is completed, I'll see what kind of results I can achieve! I will definitely watch this big show when you collapse! Hahahaha !"

He laughed and walked away.

Lu Ning didn't care about him, and lowered her head to open the waterproof bag. Inside was a familiar compass and a letter.

[To Lu Ning:

Lan Yushu's relic, I think you will probably need it more now.

Go back and treat you to Lewie Havonie's coffee.

Cheng Wuling]

"24 hours is enough."

Lu Ning clenched her fists, feeling that full power for the first time.The cold outside can't affect this already icy body, even if it will die soon, it is in good condition now!
A thin layer of ice had already condensed on the ground outside the door.

However, the temperature was fixed at minus twelve degrees, and never continued to drop.

At a crossroad on the second floor, a "cocoon" covered with hoarfrost hangs in the center of the intersection. It looks like extremely cold mist drifts out of the gap, and soon condenses into ice flowers and falls.

Sun Mozhu, Luo Lin, and Shi Yi stood not far away, staring closely at the huge cocoon——Shu Xingruo used the vines and himself as bait to form a strangulation, successfully trapping the invisible low-temperature attacker. , she herself is in the cocoon.

The three of them couldn't wait for the outcome.There are other enemies watching in the dark. They have been waiting for a quarter of an hour and cannot waste any more time.

"Let's go." Gritting his teeth, Luo Lin turned and ran to the side passage. The map was in his hand, and he knew the way down.

"But..." Shi Yi was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"If you plan to be killed by Planting Flowers, stay here! Without Shu Xingruo's shield, we can only keep moving!"

The flowers growing on Luo Lin's arms are still blooming under such severe cold, but Luo Lin has already tried it. If the flower is slightly damaged, his blood will be drawn immediately to repair it, unless the root is removed—that is, Cut off the arm.

It's not that he can't make up his mind, but now he's at the bottom of the water, and there are no effective first aid measures. The blood loss from a broken arm can kill him.

Perhaps because of the influence of that painting, Luo Lin felt a sense of resentment towards the unharmed Shi Yi, and his tone became more and more anxious.Shi Yi's personality became much weaker. He began to be extremely afraid of death, and he was a little timid in the face of danger.

In contrast, Shu Xingruo's fighting method of dying together was somewhat unexpected.

Luo Lin ran directly to the lower floor, and the mental disturbance was not enough to make him forget that there was still Lu Ning to be rescued below, but he was afraid that Lu Ning would be in danger after delaying for such a long time.Sun Mozhu and Shi Yi followed, and both of them fell into silence.

The accident happened at this time.

When Shi Yi went downstairs, he stepped on the ground and fell straight down. The two behind who witnessed Shi Yi's fall quickly chased after him, but found that there were no holes in the stairs for people to fall into.

"It's the one who attacked Lu Ning just now—"

Wind!

Sun Mozhu drew his knife quickly, and the dagger blocked the sharp claws of the cave digger in the air. With a slight turn of his body, he kicked the enemy down the stairs with one kick.

"Shi Yi! Be careful behind you!"

She only had time to remind her before rushing downstairs. After such a long time, she has also adapted to the darkness. It is not a big problem to rely on the faint light and hearing from the flying saucer to attack!

The sound of metal impacting was endless, and only Sun Mozhu's shouts could be heard from time to time in the dark. After all, the fighting power of the cave digger was only at the level of ordinary people, and sneak attacks were fine. Sun Mozhu seized the opportunity to cut him off within 2 minutes of the head-on battle. a paw.

At this time, Shi Yi on the steps suddenly let out a scream!
"I'm hit! It's growing! I, I'm dying, I'm dying—"

The sound stopped abruptly, and there was a sound of dragging from near to far, and quickly moved away.Sun Mozhu was a little anxious for a moment, seized a flaw, grabbed the hole digger by the throat, and slammed it to the ground!
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the body in his hand twitched twice, as if he was still struggling.At this moment, the dagger directly plunged into it, ending its life.

"Shi Yi! Where are you? Can you hear me?"

After finishing up with this annoying servant, Sun Mozhu immediately turned on the flashlight and looked behind him. There were bloodstains on the stairs, and a little further up, he saw a pair of bare feet.

All five of them were wearing flippers when they came.
