The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Chapter 144 This is...the world four years from now?
When Deng Yuqi said this, Shen Ge immediately thought of Li Xiang's previous research on the red pustules on the bodies of strange rats and "Xu". It was because of this research report that they determined that the twelve strange rats were man-made.

Shen Ge said solemnly: "Based on the research reports of the Haiya Research Institute, the Twelve Branches existed as early as ten years ago. At that time, the 'Headquarters' was trying to study the fusion of humans and weirdness. It can be seen that whether it is about the Twelve Branches Or for the flesh-and-blood monsters that appeared in human research later, this is probably their 'weakness'..."

"In Yuzhou, Dajing, and Rong City, the Twelve Branches are testing step by step. They have been looking for ways to solve the problem of being swallowed by the weirdness in the end. Therefore, the parasitized people in Luhu Water City are compared to the parasitized people who appeared in the Dajing Weird Disaster. There are new changes, new parasites will hatch in their bodies after they are killed.”

"If these parasitized people are regarded as failures in the human experiments carried out by the headquarters, then the twelve branches really want to complete the 'evolution' step by step in this way and become a 'new human being' that is superior to humans. In this way Even if the weirdness breaks out completely, they can still "coexist" in the world of weird energy."

Deng Yuqi nodded when he heard this. After Shen Ge's analysis, some of the original doubts became clear, and he also had many guesses about the "purpose" of the twelve branches.

The current twelve artificial weirdos have big flaws. Either their "lifespan" will not be too long and they will eventually end up with the same fate as those who are parasitized; or they can transform into the target by eating the target. There is some kind of restriction that prevents them from lurking for long periods of time.

No matter what the specific reasons are, the twelve teams are "working hard" to seek breakthroughs and find ways to solve these shortcomings and limitations.

"Although there is a certain time difference between this strange space and the outside, we must get out as soon as possible to prevent a strange disaster from happening in Rong City like in Dajing." Deng Yuqi said.

Cheng Shengnan looked at Shen Ge and said: "The strange space detector has detected that this is a triple strange space. What we can confirm so far is that there is one in the artificial lake and one underground. The one in the lake is a fish and crab mutant, and it is very large. The moving speed is relatively slow. The one underground is a mutated insect that moves very fast underground.”

Cheng Shengnan and Deng Yuqi had been in the strange space for more than sixty days. They had been to most places in search of food, and they had also encountered the third-level weirdness that maintained the strange space.

However, Deng Yuqi was self-aware, and the strange equipment on his body could not be level 3 strange opponents, so he did not take the initiative to provoke them, but just recorded the approximate location where they appeared.

"Don't worry, my ability to explore weird energy has improved now, and I can accurately locate weird locations in weird spaces." Shen Ge said, opening the system map. Judging from the small red dots on the map, the surrounding low-level weird and mysterious He had cleaned up all the parasites, leaving only two larger red dots.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and then Shen Ge saw the strange third-level red dot on the map that was originally outside the Lake Island Villa integrated into the Lake Island area.

Since the level 5 weirdness is on the island in the middle of the lake, the system is currently only at level 3 and can only accurately locate the weirdness below level 3. Therefore, the island in the middle of the lake is like a layer of fog of war, shrouded in a black mist.

Shen Ge couldn't tell where he was exactly from the map, but he could tell by the violent shaking of the villa that it was nearby.

boom!
boom!
With loud noises and violent shaking, many parts of the villa began to collapse, and a giant black cockroach at least five or six meters high crawled out of the ground.

The forelimbs and tentacles touched the villa, instantly crushing the wall.

"quick--"

Shen Ge was about to say run quickly, but the word "run" was stuck in his throat. He originally thought that Cheng Shengnan had no fighting ability, so when he turned around, he stretched out his hands to carry him out, but when he turned around, Deng Yuqi had already picked up Cheng Shengnan, stepped on the sofa and jumped to the living room, and the next second he had rushed to the garden.

The key point is that Deng Yuqi picked up Cheng Shengnan from the waist, and the latter skillfully put his hands around his neck to prevent himself from falling. It seemed that this was not the first time he was so cooperative.

"..." Is there such a tacit understanding?

Shen Ge complained in his heart and immediately chased after him. Strange cockroaches also emerged from the ground and crushed most of the villa in an instant.

"Shen Ge, you lead it away, and I'll fly the helicopter." Deng Yuqi hugged Cheng Shengnan, her running speed did not slow down at all, and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that Shen Ge didn't even have time to ask, "Can you fly a plane?"

Snapped!
Shen Ge turned around and rushed towards the strange cockroach with a snap of his fingers. After attaching his feet to the strange leather boots, he jumped into the air, completed the whole body attachment of the armor in the air, and landed on the head of the strange cockroach.

Then, the hands attached to the "sticky" gloves were holding a "antenna" of a strange cockroach on the left and right, and no matter how the opponent shook his body, he could not throw him off.

"Wuhu——"

"Go, Pippi Shrimp!"

Shen Ge had the illusion that he was driving a mobile armor, dragging the tentacles of a strange cockroach and letting it run rampant, collapsing villas one after another.

A few minutes later, with the sound of propeller airflow, Deng Yuqi actually successfully launched the "*****" armed helicopter.

However, when he saw the helicopter taking off smoothly not far away, Shen Ge was surprised not that Deng Yuqi could fly a helicopter, but that Cheng Shengnan was sitting in front of the rear cockpit door, with the Gatling and assault rifles also pulled out from the system in front of him, and next to him There are boxes filled with throwables.

"..." Good guy, this is Sitalong teaming up with Siwaxinge, right?

Deng Yuqi controlled the helicopter and raised his hand to gesture in the direction of Shen Ge. The latter immediately understood and jumped away with the help of his sneaky boots.

Then Deng Yuqi adjusted his direction and fired directly with the machine gun of the armed helicopter. The bullets came out in bursts, bringing up dust all over the sky and covering the cockroaches.

Boom!

Boom!

In front of the dust covering the strange cockroach, the ground suddenly bulged up, and then moved forward quickly like a earth-moving sun. Apparently, the strange cockroach "escaped" under the machine gun fire.

Although Deng Yuqi did not take the initiative to provoke this level 3 weirdo during this period, he also secretly observed its behavior and habits. Seeing the dirtbag quickly rushing towards the bottom of the armed helicopter, he immediately pulled the helicopter up and headed towards the artificial helicopter at high speed. Fly in the direction of the lake.

Boom!

Sure enough, the next second the strange cockroach emerged from the ground and jumped three to four meters high. Considering the height of his body, if Deng Yuqi had not predicted in advance, he would definitely be knocked away by the strange cockroach.

The cockroach hit the air, and the helicopter flew sideways towards it. Cheng Shengnan was seen holding a submachine gun and had already set up an attack stance at the hatch.

Bang bang bang!
Cheng Shengnan emptied a magazine in an instant, but his accuracy was poor and most of the bullets were empty.

However, she didn't expect the submachine gun to cause damage to the level 3 weirdness. She just wanted to attract the attention of the weird cockroach and make it follow the helicopter.

Luring the cockroach to the artificial lake, Deng Yuqi turned the helicopter to control the machine gun and fired at the cockroach, while asking Cheng Shengnan to throw explosives into the artificial lake.

The grenade exploded into water columns in the artificial lake. Soon, with a loud "crash", a huge red figure emerged from the lake.

The weird third-level body shape of this "aquatic combination" was much larger than a weird cockroach. As soon as it emerged from the water, things like crab claws on both sides of its head stabbed towards the helicopter.

Fortunately, Deng Yuqi reacted quickly and was always paying attention to the situation on the water. The moment the crab emerged from the water, he had already flown the armed helicopter towards the shore.

Machine guns, explosives, and Molotov cocktails, Deng Yuqi and Cheng Shengnan cooperated tacitly to lure the crabs and cockroaches in the same direction.

Most of the weird ones do not have the consciousness of "the same kind". In their eyes, living bodies and weird energy are food and opportunities for evolution.

Therefore, under the "arch fire" of the armed helicopter, the cockroach and the crab thought that the other party was attacking them, and they soon started fighting each other.

The strange crab and the strange cockroach ate each other's bodies. With the blessing of high-speed healing ability, the swallowed parts were restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even if the two level 3 weirdos continue to fight each other like this, even if Luhu Water City is razed to the ground, there may not be a winner.

Deng Yuqi set up an armed helicopter and constantly adjusted its position, using machine guns and explosives to create some trouble for the two weirdos.

The sound of gunshots, explosions, and the loud swallowing sounds made by the two strange third-level battles soon attracted the parasites hiding around them.

The machine gun has no effect on level 3 weirdness, but it is more than enough to deal with these parasites. With a random sweep, they are instantly reduced to flesh and blood.

There are two kinds of weird things "exploded" after the parasitized person is killed. The one crawling on the ground is fine, but there is nothing that can be done to Deng Yuqi in the air.

But the flying parasites were very strange and very fast, and machine guns couldn't do anything to them. Deng Yuqi could only avoid them with a helicopter.

Fortunately, Shen Ge reacted quickly. When he saw the flying parasite strangely flying towards the helicopter, he immediately jumped into the air with his sneaky boots.

The treacherous tentacles on Shen Ge's arms stretched out, and the treacherous stomach at the tip turned into a bloody mouth, swallowing the flying insects that tried to attack the helicopter.

The three of them decided to work together to eliminate all the parasitized people around them, and then concentrate on dealing with the two level 3 monsters. After all, the monster crabs and monster cockroaches have the ability to heal at high speeds, and it is not that easy to kill them completely.

Two hours later, the parasites in the entire Luhu Water City were finally cleared away, leaving only the black mist-shrouded area on the island in the middle of the lake.

However, on the green belt next to the artificial lake, the battle between crabs and cockroaches is still intense.

It is not that easy to tell the winner between two weirdos of the same level and both possessing high-speed healing ability. While the two weirdos are fighting each other, Shen Ge enters the "Red Mist Form" of the battle armor and approaches with a butcher knife. First, start with The cockroach's forelimbs are chopped open to prevent the opponent from hiding and running away.

Facing the two monsters, Shen Ge couldn't favor one over the other, so he used the "collapse" of the invisible monster field to sink half of the monster crab's body into the soil to buy time for the monster crab.

Shen Ge slithered between the two Weirds like a loach. Once he angered one of them, he would burrow behind the body of the other. Once the hatred between the Weirds had calmed down, he would continue to attack. The two weirdos were covered in bruises after going back and forth, but Shen Ge remained unscathed.

After spending half an hour, Shen Ge finally succeeded in killing the strange cockroach, and at the same time, the strange crab was at the end of its fight. Once the strange cockroach dies, it is controlled by the mysterious realm, consumes a lot of strange energy by the strange fire, and is then "collapsed" and buried in the soil, and beheaded with a killing pig's knife.

[The host is majestic and invincible. He single-handedly kills level 3 weirdos, and is rewarded with system points x300 and random F-level supplies x1. 】

[Whether to sell the second-level weird corpse, price: 3 system points. 】

"Yes."

Although level 3 weird corpses are very rare, and the value of taking them back to Li Xiang for research is definitely more than selling them to the system, there is still a level 5 weird corpse in the weird space (characteristics: three heads and six arms), which is a member of the Twelve Branches. It was also a hidden danger, so Shen Ge decided to sell it. In addition, he didn't find the fifth-level weirdness, and he didn't know how long he would be trapped in Luhu Water City. Saving more system points meant two more boxes of instant noodles.

[Now scan the strange space. 】

[Scanning——]

[Current number of multiple mysterious space layers: 1]

[The current maintainer of multiple strange spaces: level 5 weird (characteristics: three heads and six arms). 】

[Now mark the weirdness in the current area——]

After the system re-scanned the strange space, no other red dots could be seen in the entire Luhu Water City, leaving only the area shrouded in black mist on the island in the middle of the lake.

While Shen Ge was checking the system information, Deng Yuqi parked the armed helicopter on the grass nearby, and came with Cheng Shengnan to join Shen Ge.

Deng Yuqi looked down at the strange space detector in his hand and couldn't help but frown: "It's strange. We killed two level 3 weird ones, but the energy consumption to maintain the strange space was not much less. From this point of view, it is much better than the Yuzhou incident. The mysterious space is a bit trickier.”

Shen Ge said: "The system shows that the last level of the mysterious space is maintained by the twelve branch captains' three heads and six arms'. Although the prompt is level 5 due to the time difference, judging from the 'Yin' encountered by the branch, the real strength should be Between level 3 and 4.”

Speaking of "Yin", Deng Yuqi also clearly felt that the captain who appeared this time was much more powerful than the previous ones, so he told Shen Ge about his suspicion that they had alienated them again.

Shen Ge thought so too, but what surprised him was not that the captains of the twelve fonts had once again completed the alienation, making their physical fitness and combat effectiveness comparable to level 3 weirdness.

But... these guys can actually control the strange space!

"The last layer of the mysterious space is controlled by Twelve Branches. He is hidden in the villa area on the island in the middle of the lake." Shen Ge said while looking at the system map.

Deng Yuqi said in a deep voice: "But during this period of time, the two of us visited basically all the villas in search of food, and no one from the Twelve Branch was found."

Shen Ge originally wanted the two women to find a safe place to hide, and then relied on the system's prompts to "locate" the location of the twelve branches. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of someone.

"Minister, if I remember correctly, the target of our investigation some time ago, 'Liu Zongrui', does he live on the island in the middle of the lake in Luhu Water City?"

Deng Yuqi nodded: "That's right."

Cheng Shengnan pointed to the farthest villa on the right front, which is also closest to the Yuanhu water area and has the best location, and said: "That villa is Liu Zongrui's residence."

"Have you been there?" Shen Ge asked.

Cheng Shengnan nodded: "We have been there, but after we searched the kitchen and dining room on the first floor, we saw the parasitized person walking around on the second floor and left the villa."

"Okay, you guys find a safe place to hide, and I'll go over and take a look." Shen Ge said.

The two women nodded. It was not wise for them to follow Shen Ge in this situation. They might as well let Shen Ge explore first. Even if they were not opponents, it would not be difficult to escape with the armor in hand. On the contrary, if they followed, it would be equivalent to bringing two oil bottles. While dealing with twelve bottles, their safety must be taken into consideration.

After the two women left, Shen Ge rushed straight towards Liu Zongrui's villa. After entering the villa, he found that the layout of the villa was not much different from the one where he had found a stereo to play songs to attract monsters, except that the decoration was more luxurious.

There were signs of rummaging in the kitchen and dining room on the first floor. Apparently, as Cheng Shengnan said, they only came for food and then left.

The parasitized person in the villa had died in the hands of Shen Ge and others due to the attraction of the first two "noises". At this time, the room was quiet, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression that made people breathless.

Shen Ge believed that if people from the Twelve Branches were hiding here, then when Deng Yuqi and Cheng Shengnan came looking for food, they would definitely take action.

But there is no movement yet, something is obviously weird.

"Classmate Xiaoqi, conduct a treacherous energy scan." Shen Ge said in a low voice.

Classmate Xiaoqi immediately replied: "Okay master. We are now starting to scan for treacherous energy. No trace of treacherous energy has been found so far."

No?

Shen Ge thought about the "evolved" system again. Although the system could even achieve precise positioning after entering this strange space, the system had always been "unreliable", which made him unconsciously ignore the system's evolution. First The reaction was still to ask Xiao Qi to conduct a special energy scan.

"System, conduct a treacherous energy scan."

[Scanning——]

[The host is currently very close to the level 5 weirdness (characteristics: three heads and six arms). He is in the center of the weird energy gathering in the weird space. It is detected that the host’s current strength is definitely no match. Please cherish your life and escape quickly! 】

Very good, the system has no literary talent, not even a "narrow escape", which means that the strange strength hidden in the dark is still within the tolerance range.

However, the system was not only able to detect the trick that Xiao Qi failed to detect, but also accurately prompted the location and target rating. This wave was really overtaking on a curve, which was better than Xiao Qi's.

Finally, it looks like a system!

Shen Ge sighed in his heart, then walked cautiously upstairs along the curved stairs on the left side of the living room.

As soon as he stepped onto the last step of the second floor, Shen Ge vaguely felt that his vision was blurred. Although his vision soon returned to the original state, the visual changes in those few tenths of a second also caught his attention.

Shen Ge's eyesight is very good and this has never happened before. The most important thing is that the moment of trance just now was more like the feeling of just stepping into a strange space.

Shen Ge took out the strange space detector and tested it. After two beeps, the red light of the top detector gradually dimmed.

Even Xiaoqi's classmates couldn't scan this weird energy, and obviously the weird space detector couldn't detect anything.

Shen Ge thought for a moment, then continued to move forward, opening the doors of the rooms on the second floor one by one. Each room was dusty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

All the way to the third floor, Shen Ge felt vaguely out of breath. It was not a sense of mental oppression, but the air seemed to be heavier, and there was an invisible force pressing on him.

As we walked further, there seemed to be a slight tremor in the air.

"Wait, this is... a twisted space?" Shen Ge saw the strange scene in front of him and suddenly remembered the strange space collision of the same level.

He originally thought that after these "tests" of several large-scale disasters, the people of the Twelve Branches had perfectly integrated the mysterious space and turned it into multiple mysterious spaces. He did not expect that distorted spaces would appear.

Shen Ge didn't dare to move forward rashly, so he could only take out the black bone dagger and stab forward. However, the black bone dagger passed through the twisted air without any obstruction.

Further forward, the distortion in the air becomes more apparent.

Shen Ge stopped in front of a bedroom door. He faintly heard a rustling sound coming from the room, so he took out a flashlight and lit it, slowly pulled the door handle and opened the door.

The curtains in the room were drawn, no light could come in, and the whole room was dark.

Shen Ge took a flashlight and scanned around, but found no strange or twelve-branched movement, but there was still a rustling sound in the bathroom on the right.

Shen Ge turned on "silent", walked towards the bathroom with a flashlight, opened the door, and the next second, closed the door again.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Inside the door, no, to be precise, this "door" is no longer a door, but a closed lip. When you open it, what you see are teeth.

But this is not an ordinary tooth, but like the mouth of a bug, or the mouth of a seven-eel, a circular red flesh channel, with circles of teeth leading to the depths, disgusting, terrifying, and terrifying... …

Fortunately, affected by "silence", Shen Ge opened and closed the door without attracting the attention of "that thing" inside the door.

Shen Ge didn't expect that the door would lead directly to the strange mouth, but he soon discovered something was wrong. First, the system prompted him that he had eliminated all the "little monsters", leaving only level 5 weird ones (characteristics: three heads and six arms). That is, the font size captain of the twelve branches.

So what are the "bugs" in the bathroom?
Shen Ge carefully opened the door again, and opened the door in the "silent" state. There was still no sound at all, and the door was still full of insect mouths and teeth.

Nausea is nausea, but it doesn't move at all, but if you look carefully, you can find that the mouth is moving slightly, swallowing, and there is a faint "gurgling" swallowing sound, which means that the bug must be alive.

Shen Ge took a flashlight and looked around. The bathroom seemed to be "stuffed" with a big worm, and it couldn't even squeeze through the cracks of his fingers.

And there is no "end" in sight for this insect mouth full of teeth.

Shen Ge closed the door and took a flashlight to scan around the door frame. There were distortions and fluctuations in the air outside.

"Could it be that the twisted collision caused by the strange space caused a random teleportation like 'when entering and exiting the strange space', connecting two different points, and the back of the bathroom door directly led to the strange mouth?" Shen Ge Somewhat confused, he stepped back into the bedroom, wanting to see where there was no such twisted connection point.

At this time, Shen Ge's flashlight suddenly glanced at the electronic clock on the desk. It was just a casual glance at first, but when he saw the time clearly, he was instantly stunned.

【2028年4月23日，20:21】

Ok?
Wait, this is four years later?
(End of this chapter)
