Chapter 605 Livestock
whoosh-

In the darkness, a pitch-black arrow sank into the abyss.

It crossed a distance of nearly a hundred meters and pinned a distant Aberrant to death on the spot.

There were originally four deformed beings on the rocks here.

They are like the guards of the underworld, crouching here and looking ahead.

At this moment, I watched one of my companions being shot to death by an arrow.

Several other aberrations responded immediately.

They did not get angry or frightened like wild beasts, but simply turned over and jumped off the rocks, disappearing deep into the ground using the terrain as a cover.

"..."

"........."

Ten seconds later, the flames approached from a distance.

Lindsay stepped on the rock and pulled the arrow out of the corpse while explaining to Vivian:

"Vivian, did you see that?"

"There are only a few Deviants left here, and they are obviously monitoring our movements. Even if one of their kind dies, the other Deviants will just run away immediately. This shows how rational and efficient their actions are."

Vivian's tone was confused:
"This...they are acting completely different from when they were chasing each other in the mines!"

"Like, getting smarter?"

Lindsay concluded:

"Perhaps their wisdom does not come from themselves, but from their operators. Now that they are closer to the mastermind, they can respond in more ways and in more detail."

As he spoke, Lindsay put away the body of the deformed being.

Also open the strategic map.

Apart from the passage that was explored, there were still no signs of other survivors here.

"Ugh--"

Lindsay sighed.

He could only accept the fact that these people were in great danger, and then transformed the strategic map into an adventure map.

Skill takes effect.

In an instant, the nearby terrain was transformed into a clear 3D map.

Lindsay and the other person had already walked more than half of the distance from where they first stepped into the underground crack.

But it also increases as the position goes deeper.

The scene Lindsay saw on the adventure map at this moment made him feel a little confused for a moment.

Vivian noticed Lindsay's expression and immediately shook his arm:

"Mr. Lindsay, what's wrong with you?"

Lindsay's tone was subtle:

"This...the situation is a little different from what I thought before."

Deep underground, more markers began to appear on the map.

But in addition to the hostile red marks of the Deformers, there are also a large number of neutral yellow marks, numbering hundreds, hidden underground.

Especially these yellow marks are surrounded by a large number of red marks, which shows their dangerous situation.

So, is there anyone else trapped in the underworld?

Lindsay shook her head - how could this be possible!

Even if the indigenous people of the entire mine and the team of envoys he sent out were added together, there couldn't be so many people.

What’s more, if any of his men are among them.

In theory, it would also be a green friendly symbol, rather than the yellow that symbolizes neutrality.

Perhaps these neutral units are the same as the Zerg tribes in the canyon, or is there another hidden story?
Just as Lindsay was puzzled, he saw another detail.

A yellow marker on the map disappeared.

The reason he disappeared was because the red marks surrounding them moved inwards, and one of the mutants took action and quickly killed the yellow mark.

Lindsay's eyes changed:
"Vivian, come here, we need to speed up."

Tracking down the enemy turned into saving lives.

The concepts of these two things are completely different. The next second, Lindsay held Vivian in her arms. Then she exerted force on her feet and rushed away like lightning.

Along the way, there were still some deformed people following them.

But this time they had no chance of survival.

When Lindsay first entered the underground world, he had some hidden strengths that would lull the masterminds behind the scenes into complacency.

Now, he just plans to make himself efficient.

Whenever an enemy appeared on the road, Lindsay would just flash a flame in his hand, and then the javelin with a lava fire ring would appear in an instant, nailing the enemies to the ground, and even their corpses would be burned to ashes.

Lindsay was hurrying as fast as he could, so his speed was naturally very fast.

Not long after, he successfully came underground through the path given on the map.

When there was about 1 kilometer left to the target location, the marks on the map began to change again.

As the deformed ones continue to die.

The enemies deep underground seemed to have received the news that Lindsay was approaching.

They decisively gave up the massacre of those neutral units, and then continued to retreat to one place, and soon disappeared completely like the sea water at low tide.

"escaped?"

Lindsay raised an eyebrow.

Judging from the actions of these deformed people, it is reasonable for them to choose to escape at this time.

And besides that, there is good news.

Those neutral marks were abandoned by the deformed ones and just stood there stupidly.

Analyzing the information on the map, they did not resist and did not take any other actions, so they seemed to be safe.

At Lindsay’s speed.

Even with Vivian, the distance of a thousand meters can be covered quickly.

But before he reached his target location, an extremely pungent stench wafted towards him in the closed and dark environment underground.

The smell was unbearable, as if mixed with all kinds of filth.

"Woo..."

Lindsay could still bear it, but he felt Vivian twitching in his hands.

Although this child is strong-willed, the physical pain is not something she can endure by willpower at her age.

Lindsay took out the filter cloth and gave it to Vivian:
"Vivian, don't hold it in from now on. Tell me if you feel any discomfort."

Vivian nodded slightly:
"I understand."

With the filter cloth, the two people could barely accept the foul atmosphere.

As we moved forward, the dark cave was illuminated by torches.

What appeared in front of Lindsay and Vivian was also beyond their expectations.

--Humanity.

The yellow marks underground are not sub-human species, but hundreds of real living humans!

Just different from the people struggling to survive in the wilderness.

The humans here were not wearing any clothes, and their eyes exuded pure primitive desire. On those filthy bodies that had never been cleaned, disgusting green pustules could be seen growing.

At this moment, Lindsay came over with a torch.

When these "humans" saw the flames, their first reaction was fear and terror, and they huddled back. Groups of people huddled together, trembling.

"..."

Vivian was almost stunned by the scene before her, and couldn't form any coherent words:

"Lindsay... Sir, they, they..."

Lindsay was deeply shocked.

But the adventures he had experienced over the years had stabilized his spirit quickly, and he finally adopted an unusually serious attitude and said in an angry tone:
"livestock."

"These people were probably trapped here from birth and domesticated as livestock."

“That’s why it became like this.”
