Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 209 209. Rewards
Gentle footsteps rotated along a row of instruments in the experimental field.

Julie, Maeve, and Harley each supported three unconscious women and followed Dean, while Dean was pouring bottles of medical alcohol on the operating table and various experimental instruments.

"Is it really okay? You look really bad now." Julie looked at the man's strong back and thighs with concern. They were all covered with small cuts, black burns, and dark red bruises. According to common sense, Most people with such serious injuries would have been in the hospital for rescue long ago.

"Let me help you, Dean," Maeve volunteered, with deep admiration and gratitude in her eyes.

"No need. I just look miserable. In fact, they are all skin injuries." Dean shook his head, smiled gently at a few people, and threw out the lit match in his hand. The red flames drew a circle along the ground, and in an instant Wrap these criminal experimental facilities tightly.

There was a burning smell in the air,

The system was shocked, and the progress of the "secret mission" increased again.

"Let's go, we'll suffocate if it's too late." Dean looked at the map that the girls had found not long ago, and led the way out of the experimental site, heading towards the catwalk on the left.

The women hurried behind him.

This time, the surrounding environment was still dark, but they did not feel any fear or nervousness. Looking at the tall figure in front of them, they felt extremely at ease.

"Are we finally going out?" The black girl wiped her nose hard, her eyes still a little unbelievable, "Escape from these terrible monsters unscathed?"

Julie patted her chest and let out a long sigh, "The toad man, the chameleon, and the crazy and evil scientist were all solved by Dean. The nightmare is finally over. I can't help but want to look at the sky outside."

Dean listened to the chatter behind him, and his heavy heart caused by the previous bloody battle began to slowly become lighter.

Soon afterwards, they found the winding pipe leading upwards marked on the map, climbed up and emerged from a hidden tunnel on the edge of the forest far away from the abandoned factory.

It was already early in the morning, the sky was pitch black, the forest was swaying gently with the night wind, and there were bursts of lively chirping of insects.

Everyone breathed the fresh air, and the joy of rebirth appeared on their faces.

"Dean, what should we do next?" Julie looked at the two still unconscious women she and her companions were supporting, and said hesitantly, "Send them to the police station?"

"Are you stupid, sister?" Maeve shook her head nervously, "Tell the police officer that we accidentally fell into a devil's cave. There are monsters in it that were developed by scientists from the American army and have eaten thousands of people so far? Do you think they will believe it? This kind of nonsense? Even if they believe it, how can they investigate? Can a small police station in Faraye compete with the Marine Corps? "

Harley also nodded in agreement, "Little Julie, don't be too naive. The power of the army is not something that ordinary people like us can afford. There is a high probability that if we report it on the front, we will be assassinated by the special forces sent by them, or even...even again... Taken abducted to another underground base, encounter more terrifying monsters."

These words made Dean look at the two female college students with admiration. They were very vigilant and not too stupid.

"But forget it, what if these demons continue to kidnap people and conduct evil experiments?" Julie bit her pink lips unwillingly, "And how much do the families of the victims in the underground base hope that they can Find the remains of your loved ones.”

"That's none of your business. According to me, if you insist on interfering, you won't survive more than a week." Dean reached out and touched the girl's hair, comforting him, "After today, just pretend that nothing happened and continue. Enjoy a happy college life, but don’t tell anyone about what happened underground, including your parents. Yes, if you treat me as a friend, don’t mention me.”

The three girls looked at each other and nodded. "You are our savior, you don't like publicity and we have sworn to God to keep you secret."

Dean looked at their sincere eyes and nodded,

"You don't have to worry too much. I have a friend who knows a reporter from the New York Times. We will disclose these evil inside information to them. Maybe one day in the future, the media will expose the ugly behavior of the American military."

This friend refers to Sheriff Hope.

However, Dean estimated that handing over the information to the media would not have much effect. After all, public opinion in this country has long been firmly controlled.

But he is not the savior. The purpose of this trip has been completely achieved. There is no need to risk interfering with America's Stargate Jedi plan for unrelated people. At most, he will deal with the technician and his men.

Yes, some of the girls found the technician's photo in Cicero's collection.

Dean can use the dark field of his mind to find out the whereabouts of this guy and get rid of them at any time.

……

"Then how will they deal with it? Should we reveal our plan?" Julie asked again,
Dean shook his head decisively. He was not interested in being a nanny for these two strange women. "It's enough to save their lives. Then just throw them to a safe place and leave them a letter to keep them secret."

Dean looked at the delicate faces of the two women, thinking that there was a high probability that they had relatives and friends who died underground, and would not give up the investigation so easily, so he solemnly glanced at the faces of the three girls.
"But remember, never have any contact with them in the future, otherwise they may drag you down and attract the ill will of the US military."

Then drag down to Dean.

……

Seeing how solemn Dean was, Julie nodded.

Shortly afterwards, several people dropped off two women who were about to wake up in a park, rushed to an unmonitored motel on the outskirts of Faraye, and booked three rooms.

Julie shared a room with unconscious Luna, and Maeve shared a room with Harley.

Dean had a room by himself. Because the image of him being injured all over his body was too frightening, he quietly opened the window with his mind and slipped into the room.

After washing away the blood all over his body, he treated the wound a little and looked at it in the mirror.

A young man with a face full of blood and explosive muscles appeared in the mirror. He was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed two hundred pounds. There were protruding veins and blood vessels on his neck and arms.

His eyes were as bright as the stars in the dark night sky, but the stars contained a chilling chill.

In just one night, Dean killed more monsters than before combined, and the faint smell of blood lingered around him.

He took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and tried his best to relax his body and tense nerves. After a long time, the sharp momentum was suppressed.

Next, Dean sat cross-legged on the soft single bed, enjoying the dessert, relaxing, and putting his mind into the system.

Event - "Secret Mission" completed.

You killed Gracie and his team, and tortured their souls to find out that the people behind the kidnapping mission were the American military and the technicians working in the abandoned factory.

You went to a party in an abandoned factory to capture the technician, but unexpectedly met an acquaintance named Julie and her roommate, and broke into the underground base by chance.

You fight your way through a siege by Toadmen, find tapes of mad scientist Cicero, and discover that the entire underground base is part of the Stargate Jedi plan.

You killed all the first-generation biological weapons, the Toadmen.

You fought fiercely with the nocturnal species and the second-generation chameleon created by its genes in the experimental field. You defeated one against five and won the final victory. You completed a difficult challenge.

You asked the nocturnal species Otto about the whereabouts of Lu Guangming.

You burned down the underground base.

Once again, you stand your ground and miraculously save Julie and all her roommates unharmed, progressing the event.

Two hundred percent completion.

Rewards can be withdrawn at any time.

Dean took a deep breath. He originally thought that the progress would be [-]% only if the technicians were eliminated, but now he has completed the goal ahead of schedule.

It seems that being a good person occasionally brings some extra rewards.

extract.

经验值+180，个人等级lv5(460→640/700)
Depending on the level of completion, you can choose two special rewards, and one of them will be greatly improved:

B. Super power protective color lv0: With ten more layers of special skin cells, you will change color by changing the skin structure or reflecting light, completely integrating with the surrounding environment, achieving an invisible effect.Most creatures cannot see you with the naked eye.

However, at the initial level, engaging in strenuous exercise, or even using superpowers may break your protective color effect.

Improving this ability will slightly increase your sensitivity attributes.

Note: This choice will affect your appearance.

C. Venomous substance lv0: There are extra glands in the body that produce venom, allowing your blood to contain deadly corrosive poison.

You are immune to these poisons, and you can emit venom to cause powerful damage to enemies.

Improve this ability and slightly increase your physical attributes.

Note that this superpower affects your appearance.

D. Super power - abnormal self-healing: From now on, your cell division limit will be increased, and there will be an additional crystallized energy storage organ in your body. Any physical injuries you suffer, including injuries to vital parts, can be consumed through The energy in it heals itself at least ten times faster than before. The specific self-healing efficiency is directly related to your body.

However, the initial level cannot reach the level of regeneration of severed limbs.

Improve this ability and slightly increase your physical attributes.

E. You can modify the superpower in item C or D and add it to your intermediate ironman specialty to become a characteristic of the specialty.

Traits cannot be gained through upgrading like normal superpowers.

But their power is no less powerful than super powers.

Note: This item is a [-]% substantial increase reward.

F. One free attribute point.

……

Under the soft light, Dean's eyes showed thoughtfulness.

Among the six options, option A must be selected.

If you choose it and get another similar reward, Ironman will be promoted to the advanced stage.

During this battle, Dean deeply realized the power of Iron Man's specialty, which is resistant to blows and negative effects of injuries, longer endurance, and stronger vitality. Dean was able to escape death thanks to this almighty skill. Specialties.

It's a preference.

……

Excluded by F, 1 attribute point is not cost-effective. The attributes Dean obtained in one night far exceeded that.

Dean is extremely greedy for B's protective color. With this super power, he can sneak in in broad daylight, enter and exit other people's houses at will as if he were in an uninhabited land, pry for information and break into secret rooms without any disadvantages. He is simply an elusive shadowless man. .Although the low level cannot be used for fighting, Dean can get a fatal blow as long as he gets close to the enemy's body through invisibility and seizes the opportunity!
Unfortunately, Dean doesn't have any extra superpower slots, and it's still a long time before Meditation's next upgrade, so he can only reluctantly exclude B.

In the same way, pure superpower options C and D can only be eliminated.

But E gave him a chance to make amends.

Transform the venomous nature or abnormal self-healing into a characteristic of the Iron Man specialty, and the Iron Man specialty will definitely become more powerful!
Which one to add?

Dean directly eliminated the venomous nature. He was not interested in being a toad man covered in fleshy pimples. No matter how powerful the venom was, he could not be moved.

……

"I choose A, and E, to add abnormal self-healing to the Ironman feat."

Dean thought for a moment.

next second.

His body suddenly straightened up while he was sitting on the bed, and his left chest, close to his heart, released huge heat like a furnace.

In Dean's perception, a red prismatic crystal the size of a fingernail was formed here.

Wisps of warmth were released from it, rushing over his face, chest, abdomen, and lower body, leaving oozing scratches and burns.

Immediately, these wounds seemed to have ants crawling over them, causing slight itching.

Dean furrowed his brows and quietly felt the changes in his body. The itch became weaker and weaker, and he began to feel the warm pleasure of soaking in a hot spring. Every cell seemed to begin to renew, becoming more vital and energetic. , more profound.

in a few hours.

The fingernail-sized prismatic crystal next to the heart shrank by more than half.

Dean's stomach growled twice, and he woke up from the huge hunger in an instant. He took out various energy bars prepared in advance from the bedside table with one hand, stuffed them into his mouth, and charged the crystals.

With the other hand, he grabbed the cracked corner of the skin on his face and suddenly tore it off - clatter.

Like a piece of cicada shed, he pulled off a piece of dead brown skin composed purely of scars and scabs, revealing the completely opposite skin underneath, as smooth, delicate, and full of toughness as silk.

Dean tore off the dead skin from his body.

I walked back to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. The previous image of the scarred-faced man who was as strong as a beast completely disappeared, replaced by a tall and strong young man with broad shoulders and long legs, bright and handsome.

Dean smiled with satisfaction, "When Iron Man reaches an advanced stage, abnormal self-healing should be able to reach the level of rebirth of severed limbs."

Finally, he looked at the panel that was turned upside down.

……

"In just one night, I gained more than four points of attributes and a lot of proficiency." Dean had a sense of surprise like a dream, "But the most important thing is to finally know the whereabouts of Lu Guangming."

Dean summoned the "shadow", and one ghost and one person stared blankly at Lu Guangming's old photos, recalling Ye Xingzhong's last words.

"The light has most likely entered Midian and become one of the seven. Midian has Baphomet's protection and is isolated by the mysterious energy, so he cannot be found in the dark area of ​​​​the mind."

"But when the seven chosen ones gather in Midian, what will happen?"

Dean always felt that the monsters of Midian and the Baphomet they believed in had ill intentions towards him, so he was a little undecided. He looked at the identical face surrounded by the black mist and asked,
"Man, next, go north to Midian to find Lu Guangming, or go southwest to the strip club to find Lena?"

"Going to the southwest, Midian is too dangerous." Shadow sent a message from his mind,

Dean nodded, "The sixth sense also told me that there is a fatal crisis in Midian, which I cannot handle with my current strength! So find Lena first, and then go together to find Lu Guangming."

……

After making the decision, he breathed a long sigh of relief and prepared to end this thrilling day in red dragon meditation.

bang, bang...

There was a soft knock on the door. From his perspective, he saw a tall and fit figure wearing white pajamas and wet red hair standing outside the door.

crunch--

"Luna, when did you wake up? What are you doing so late? Why don't you go to bed earlier?" Dean looked at the woman's eyes with a hint of drunkenness.

"I've slept enough after being anesthetized, and now I can't sleep at all. I'm afraid you won't leave without saying goodbye tomorrow. I want to keep some good memories!" Luna looked directly into his eyes, with some kind of hot feeling spreading in her eyes. Emotionally, he closed the door behind him with a light click of his heels, opened his arms and hugged Dean tightly, and raised his head to kiss him without consent.

Under the light, her pretty face was dyed a charming blush.

And standing at Dean's height, you can just look down and enjoy the undulating scenery.

Perhaps it was because his physical fitness improved too much in a short period of time that it had some negative effects.

Dean's body felt warm, and so did his brain. He uncontrollably hugged Luna, picked up Luna, and threw her on the bed.

But didn't wait for him to pounce.

bang bang.

The door behind her rang again. Outside the door, a petite and sweet blonde girl clasped her hands in front of her belly and lowered her head shyly.
Dean rubbed his temples in distress, "Julie? If you have anything to do, can we talk about it tomorrow? Can you go back to bed first?"

The girl's tone was as soft as a little sheep's, but her eyes were firm, "I'm sorry, I'm very sleepy, but I just can't sleep. I want to talk to you."

"Then come in, your sisters are here too."

"Luna, didn't you go buy snacks?"

"Aren't you asleep too?"

Afterwards, Julie and Luna sat on both sides of the single bed, looking at each other with complicated eyes, neither of them saying a word.

Dean sighed, an intuition arose in his heart, and stood still at the door of the room.

Sure enough, not long after, there was another knock on the door and a suppressed urging, and the magnetic voice of the black girl Harley rang out,

"I saw it all. Those two little bitches with fever have sneaked in! Dean, let me and Maeve in quickly, or I will sue you for discriminating against minorities!"

Dean reluctantly opened the door, "Come on, come on, you sisters just have a table for story time."

"Haha, two little goblins, don't even think about eating alone!"

The black girl and the Asian girl lay between the two white girls, holding hands, twisting their thighs to show the best curves for taking pictures, and hooked their hands towards Dean who had his hands folded across his chest in the distance.
The black girl cleared her throat and said with a smile,
"We sisters have already discussed it. In order to repay your life-saving grace, you can take away a few of us...to other rooms and do whatever you want."

Luna and Julie's cheeks turned red, and they moved their lips as if they wanted to refute, but for some unknown reason, they swallowed their words and looked over anxiously and expectantly.

Dean shook his head. If it was a one-on-one fight in private, he would still be interested, but one-on-one, he couldn't accept it in his heart.

He always felt that it was too chaotic and too casual.

The passion and desire in the body also cooled down.

"Forget it, I'm tired today, let's talk next time!"

"If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time!" Harley emphasized,
"That's what it's meant to be."

"How disappointing." The black girl sighed and rolled her eyes again, "Seriously, Dean, who are you, a superhero who fights evil supernatural forces?"

Four pairs of eyes swept away disappointment and looked over brightly.

"I'm just a boring private detective, a passerby in your lives." Dean shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Please, don't say that! Are we going to lose you right away?" Luna flicked her red hair, pulled Dean's shoulders, let the back of his head rest on her soft and plump thighs, and massaged his shoulders. ,

Not to be outdone, Julie used her two small hands to massage his temples, "Say something more, I want to hear more of your voice."

"Okay, I will tell you how as ordinary people, you should be alert to possible supernatural dangers."

……

If someone sneaks up to this motel room late at night and peeks in through the window.

Then, with bright lights, you can see a young man telling stories about the past.

The four beautiful girls listened attentively, chiming in with a question from time to time.

until dawn.
