I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 108 Mummy in the ruins
A bonfire flickered in an abandoned tower.

Lin finally took the small pot off the campfire and stirred it. The compressed biscuits inside had been cooked into batter.

Wan Jin carefully placed the can next to the campfire to heat, while Fran was using digestive juice to treat the heart of the headless giant for them.

After dividing the food and starting the meal, Lin Zhong took the opportunity to talk about the subsequent arrangements: "After eating, rest for an hour, and we will dispose of the body of the headless giant together. Let's go back and walk around the ruins to see See if there are any signs of other prey.”

"it is good."

"Row."

Wan Jin answered seriously, while Fran's tone was much more casual.

"Compared to the first hunting operation, our efficiency has improved a lot. We finally feel like a team." Lin Zhong said with a smile.

"You are a team, and I feel like I can't be included in it at all." Fran suddenly said angrily.

"Don't say that, you are our ace. And without you, we may not even be able to find the first two prey." Lin Zhong said.

There are monsters everywhere in the abyss, but it is not easy to find suitable prey in the abyss. The long-term gray fog causes low visibility in the abyss, and space distortion also complicates the terrain in the abyss, which also affects some detections. equipment.

Fortunately, with Fran's special senses, they could sometimes detect the existence of abyssal creatures several kilometers away, which undoubtedly greatly improved the efficiency of hunting - even higher than the team Lin Zhong led before.

According to this progress, it should not be a problem to reach the critical point of evolution within two months.

However, Fran didn't seem to particularly buy Lin Zhong's flattery: "When you two were hunting there, I basically had nothing to do, and you prohibited me from doing craft work. This is really boring."

"You call that kind of thing 'handicraft work'?" Lin Zhong laughed bitterly.

Fran was talking about how she used the corpses of abyssal creatures left over from hunting by Lin Zhong and others for surgical transformation.

At that time, not long after Lin Zhong took away the heart and other materials of the abyssal creature, he turned around and found that the prey had been "resurrected" again, and its body had mutated, with limbs of other creatures growing on it.

At that time, both Lin Zhong and Wan Jin were so frightened that Wan Jin lost control and rushed forward to kill the monster again. Then Lin Zhong heard Fran's unhappy shouts.

Later, he learned that the monster was Fran's masterpiece. She conducted biological experiments with the corpse of the monster that had not completely lost its biological activity, and filled it with other biological materials obtained previously.

Fran originally wanted to implant a parasite to control the suture monster and let it do some chores as a servant.

Transforming other creatures to control them and turning them into their own puppets is a habit of the Queen's descendants.

Lin Zhong finally managed to get Fran to put aside this "hobby" for the time being.

If other teams of abyss hunters see them with such a weird creature in this abyss, they might cause some trouble.

"You can also do something else to pass the time. Didn't you wander around this ruins alone before? Did you gain anything?" Lin Zhi tried to change the topic.

The urban area they are in has a huge difference in architectural style from all existing human cities.

Most of the buildings occupy a small area, only about [-] square meters, but they are almost astonishingly taller than fifty floors. They look like tall towers, and the entire city is like a forest composed of countless square towers.

A huge hanging garden will be erected between some adjacent three to six towers. The shape of the hanging garden depends on the number of towers supported, ranging from triangles to hexagons.

There are also tall towers with long beams extending around them, which look like branches growing from a tree.There is a huge pod hung at the end of each branch. The internal space of the pod is enough to accommodate a single room, but there is no ladder or passage at the entrance. It seems that the only way to climb up is to climb along the branches. .

Of course, these are the Abyss cities restored by the coalition government's research institute. Among these ruins that are now in the abyss, those amazing buildings have been seriously damaged. Many towers were broken in half, and the ground is covered with rubble and ruins.

Here are the ruins of an Abyss civilization.

"Nothing..." Fran replied without interest.

Lin Zhi smiled, it was natural that he could not find anything here.This is a ruin in the shallow layer of Abyss No. [-], and it is the cleanest one that has been searched.Not only the abyss hunters, but also the coalition government's troops and expedition teams have come countless times, as well as the wilderness hunters who have come to try their luck. Most of the conspicuous things of research value are gone, trying to find something useful. I'm afraid things are difficult.

But then Fran said again: "Except for a corpse that looks a little strange."

"Human? Or monster?" Lin Zhong asked casually.

"No, it's a mummy. It's humanoid, but it has something like wings on its back." Fran replied.

Lin Zhong suddenly stopped eating: "A humanoid corpse with wings?"

"Yes." Fran replied.

"Take me to see!" Lin Zhong immediately put down the food in his hand.

Two-quarters of an hour later, Fran took Lin Zhong to the seventh floor of a tall tower building.

When they climbed the dilapidated spiral staircase to this level, Lin Zhong and Wan Jin were both out of breath.

"This is it." Fran pointed to a room whose door had already collapsed.

Lin finally followed her into the room and approached a room in the depths. The strong wind that poured into the room hit her face - the windows on both sides of the room were broken, and the airflow from high places passed through without any hindrance.

Lin finally saw the corpse. A mummy was lying on a rusty metal table. The skin and flesh that had completely lost moisture had turned into black with the texture of bacon. Only a pair of wings on its back were dark red.

The wings were not feathers, but fleshy, and now they had completely shrunk into a thin layer attached to the frame of the wings.

"I caught a strange smell nearby, and I found this when I looked for it." Fran explained calmly, "It looks quite novel, but it's a pity that it's just a corpse."

"Even a corpse is a precious sample." Lin Zhong said, looking at the corpse.

There are many ruins that have been discovered so far, but the remains of the Abyss people that have been discovered are pitifully few, and most of them are incomplete bones.

A mummy in this complete state would probably be a very rare research sample.The corpse had obviously been left in this environment since death and was forcibly dried.

"Let's move it down together." Lin finally made up his mind.

"Ah?" Wan Jin, who had just climbed the 57th floor and still hadn't caught her breath, opened her eyes wide.
