Chapter 360: Rescue the Suffering Xu Lishi, Yesterday's Eating Ghost Reappeared
Chapter 360: Rescue the Suffering Xu Lishi, Yesterday's Eating Ghost Reappeared (asking for monthly ticket)
"As expected, haha."
Xu Shu stood there silently for a moment, then climbed down from the top of the lighthouse.
The heart-pounding and depressing deep sea before him finally confirmed a guess in his mind.
There is no doubt that the "Sea of Death" in the real world and the "Sea of Hades" in the legend he just experienced are the same ocean!
"I watched the world channel and every time it mentioned recruiting for a team in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ruins, it often mentioned the need for a 'ferryman'. It seems that this is because the seawater here is special?"
"However, it's not just the Death Sea. Other Violent Seas, Misty Seas, etc. also require a 'ferryman' in the team. Could it be that other seas are also like the Death Sea, deep and dark, where not even a feather can float, making it difficult to cross by oneself?"
"This is a question worth studying. I can ask about it later."
"Alas, it's a pity that Teacher Pan has lost contact, otherwise she could have fulfilled her duty as a teacher to impart knowledge and answer questions."
Xu Shu shook his head and sighed. After thinking for a while, he opened the upgrade driver and edited a message to Gu Yueming, who he could currently contact:
"Auntie, how are you doing in area D8B4 these days?"
He sent the message without waiting for a reply.
However, it is common for a family with a long history like this to go into seclusion for ten days or half a month.
Xu Shu didn't hesitate and calmly walked down from the top of the mountain, preparing to go to the beach.
Just now, when he was gazing into the distance, he saw a group of people gathered on a reef near the coast, most of them were preparing to go out to sea to explore new land.
Practice makes perfect, especially when there is no one to ask.
Moreover, today I have completed my Taichu Volume test, so I can go to the seaside to check out the situation myself, to find out what this Death Sea looks like now, so as to avoid being in the dark on my next trip.
This time he was not so anxious. Xu Shu came down the hillside and returned to Yinli Village leisurely.
This small town is located in a remote area and does not look that prosperous.
The local specialty should be a kind of strange locust tree wood, which is dark red like blood. From time to time, a group of trucks loaded with sawn wood strips line up and drive away on the road, raising dust.
There were few pedestrians on the street. Judging from this situation, this place was similar to the "Jinbaoshan" on the western edge, or perhaps slightly worse.
Xu Shu estimated that the permanent population here should be less than 20,000, not too many.
Of course, his current "vision" has been spoiled by the prosperity of Penglai.
A small town of 8 people in the wasteland. If this size were placed in D3B area, Xu Shu’s hometown, it would definitely be the number one shelter in the entire wasteland, without a doubt.
But in Penglai District, towns of this size are the poorest and most remote.
"By the way, if we calculate this way, the entire Penglai area, not counting the safe zone, and only counting the large and small companies in the wasteland, is probably about 50 million people?"
"And there are obviously more people inside the city...hiss, this is really scary. When I think about it, the total population inside and outside the city was less than three million. If they were put here, there would be less than a fraction of that!"
"The gap between the first-class safety zone and the third-class safety zone is too big."
Xu Shu marveled and sighed for a while. At the same time, he bought some portable water and food at a wholesale department here in case of emergency.
He then walked eastward and passed a plaque that read "Hospitable Penglai Welcomes You". Suddenly, he heard a loud barking of dogs in the distance, mixed with the faint sounds of cursing, screaming, and cries for help, one after another.
"Ok?"
Xu Shu frowned slightly immediately.
Is there something wrong?
He did not stop and continued walking forward. Soon he saw a factory area with a sign on the door that read "Yinli Timber Development Technology Company". There were many trucks loaded with wood parked outside.
Well, it's just a lumber mill.
Xu Shu has been in Penglai District for quite some time now, and can be considered half a "local". He immediately judged from the name that this sawmill was the local garrison, which is what the local residents usually call a "leading enterprise".
This has the same status as the Jinbaoshan Mine in Jinbaoshan and the Sheling Villa in Xinglongzhuang. It is responsible for guarding the local area, which is equivalent to the duties of the "local police department".
The difference is that they are not under the jurisdiction of the Astronomical Society, but belong to the local superpower Baiyujing.
In theory, this place has the strongest defense in the town. It is responsible for patrolling the surrounding area on weekdays to prevent monsters from roaming here and harming the people.
But at this moment, the sawmill was in chaos. Hundreds of people in white uniforms fled from the underground building in panic. They ran around, screaming and fleeing the scene, as panic-stricken as dogs that had lost their homes.
"what's going on?"
Xu Shu took the initiative to step forward and grabbed a young man wearing a lumber mill uniform who was lying beside a car with several horrific festering wounds on his body.
The man's face was pale. He saw Xu Shu but didn't recognize him. He gasped in pain, "I can't do it anymore. Don't worry about me... Run... Go and inform the town guard! It's out of control! The laboratory is out of control... Hurry! It will be too late if you are late..."
"Unfortunately for me, I can't escape. I've been contaminated. It's too late... cough cough..."
His breathing became weaker and weaker, blood came out of his mouth and nose, and he was about to die.
Xu Shu casually took out a bottle of anti-wolf spray filled with cat saliva and sprayed it on the man's chest and abdomen several times.
Chi Chi Chi!
The milky white mist suddenly seemed to have a spirit and penetrated into the festering wound on the man's body, stopping the bleeding visibly.
"..."
The man was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his scabbed wound and realized that he was not dead.
"Thank you for the rescue, brother. I am Cao Yang... who are you?" He turned to look at Xu Shu, who looked much younger than him, and found that he did not recognize him. He immediately realized that the other party was also a transcendent, so he asked.
"I'm Xu Shu. I came here to open up the wasteland and happened to pass by. What happened inside? Tell me what happened and I'll go take a look." Xu Shu said concisely.
"It turns out to be Brother Xu!"
Cao Yang was suddenly aware of it, and then said in horror: "No, Brother Xu, don't go in. There is a late-stage second-order monster inside that has lost control and is attacking. It's too dangerous. Even the director himself was killed by it!"
Hmm, a second-level demon? Losing control and attacking?
Xu Shu's heart moved when he heard this. He could see the fear in the man's heart, so he held his shoulders, thought for a moment, and said,
"Is your director a living cultivator? Did his evil servants backfire?"
Cao Yang nodded in panic and said, "Yes, yes... The experiment failed. We must wait until the town guard arrives. Only he can save everything now..."
Xu Shu said: "Calm down first and tell me the details."
"No, I can't stay calm. Lao Yu is dead, Guangzi is dead, and Xinlei, Zhang Ze... are dead, they are all dead, too many people have died... We can't let it escape, otherwise, the whole town will be finished... I have to, I have to go back..."
As Cao Yang was talking, he stood up and looked towards the chaotic interior of the sawmill, as if he wanted to rush back to provide support.
However, his eyelids were twitching and his legs were shaking, and he was unable to take any effective steps.
It is conceivable that everything that happened in the underground laboratory inside this wood material made him feel real fear.
Seeing this, Xu Shu knew that the man was indeed frightened, so he stopped asking questions and decided to go and take a look for himself.
He went straight against the crowd and chased into the sawmill.
Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to hold his savior back: "Brother Xu, you can't go in! Let's wait until we get there. That's a second-level monster, we can't get involved, we just need to complete our mission..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Shu waved his hand and marched forward heroically: "If I can't protect innocent people, what's the point of my extraordinary achievements? No need to say more, the strong should wield their swords against the stronger ones!!!"
"what?"
If you can’t protect the people, is it useless to achieve extraordinary things?
The strong wields his sword against the stronger one?
This this……
Cao Yang was shocked for a moment. He felt his head spinning and his worldview was impacted extremely strongly.
The figure of the strange young man in front of him suddenly became extremely majestic and tall in his eyes, making his eyes well up with tears and his heart surging.
"Coward, they are your companions, your friends, how can you not help them because of fear!" Cao Yang gritted his teeth, slapped himself hard, and hurriedly followed. But he was soon stunned, because in just a blink of an eye, he found that Xu Shu, who was just in front of him, disappeared.
Where are the people? Cao Yang's expression froze, he drew his sword and looked around in confusion.
At this moment.
Xu Shu's figure was like a ghost. He flashed at high speed and entered the entrance of the basement where people were constantly escaping.
However, he still paused for a moment, thinking, "It's actually a second-level transformed monster, it's very powerful, I have to be careful and not let my guard down!"
Thinking of this, Xu Shu concentrated his thoughts in front of him and poured them into the Taichu Volume.
"Journey mode, start it!" Xu Shu roared angrily.
With a loud bang, the Taichu Scroll was smoothly pushed open, and the mists were dispersed one after another, turning into a revolving lantern-like light and shadow in front of the eyes, constantly flowing:
[Detecting current status...]
【Testing completed! 】
[Your situation is very bad. Today is December 12th. You passed through the Timber Research Factory in Yinli Town, Bozhaozisi, Penglai District, and encountered a terrible monster attack.]
[The director of the laboratory here, Wang Quanxing, is a living cultivator. In order to pursue a higher level, he studied the secret method and prepared to strengthen the newly contained strange servants. ]
[He spent a huge amount of money to buy this strange servant, it is a second-level alien species: a tree demon! ]
[After some refining, the strength of this tree demon really increased sharply and reached the late second stage, which made Wang Quanxing overjoyed, but soon something terrible happened. ]
[This tree demon lost control. It actually overturned the principle that the servant must be controlled by the master. It turned against the master on the spot and completely lost its mind, killing people in this underground laboratory.]
[Everyone was scared and everyone was running for their lives, but only you, the grassroots hero Xu Shu, came here. Not only were you not afraid, you also went upstream and chased after the tree demon.]
[Because you are a true warrior, you want to save the staff here, the strong will wield their swords against the stronger, this is your life motto as the third-level dragon elephant Xu Shu! ]
【? 】
[No, buddy, you are swinging your sword at a stronger person? This tree demon is only at the second level. It is a whole level lower than you! ]
[“Hmph, a second-level monster with strong power, it is a huge challenge for me! Fortunately, I am a legendary warrior, so I am not afraid of fighting against opponents of higher levels!”]
[You are simply shameless, forcing yourself to look good. Very good, this is really the style of birth that Taichujuan admires, please keep it up.]
[You are strong and you easily pass through the crowd. After twisting and turning in the underground passage which is not particularly complicated, you arrive at your destination: Yinli Laboratory in a short while.]
[The ground was in a mess, with all kinds of crushed corpses and broken limbs everywhere. Broken flesh and fat almost formed a thick carpet. There were some squirming first-level monsters, "Sophora japonica silkworms", squirming and gnawing.]
【Locust tree silkworm.gif】
A picture was presented, showing that in the "slaughterhouse" in front of Xu Shu, there were about twenty monsters as thick as a finger and as long as a finger, gnawing on the flesh on the ground happily and diligently as if it were mulberry leaves.
"It's called a silkworm, but it looks like a dry branch. If we kill such a small monster, I wonder if it will corrode my sister's body?" Xu Shu frowned.
[In addition, you also saw the remnants of the local garrison troops in the laboratory. Most of them had died, and only three people were still alive, two women and one man. They were also forced into a corner and were seriously injured.]
[The enemy who oppresses them is none other than a giant octopus-like alien creature sitting on the operating table in the center of the laboratory: the Dryad! ]
[It waved its tentacles and continued to attack the remaining researchers, intending to kill them all.]
[Sensing the arrival of an uninvited guest, it immediately protected the Gothic-style girl with long black hair behind it and turned around to roar at you. ]
【Animated picture: Tree demon】
"Ah, I said the name sounded so familiar, so it really is this."
Xu Shu observed the appearance of the monster and suddenly understood.
He had seen tree demons like this before.
In the ruins of "Lanruo Cottage" where he and Empress Heishan got married, there was also a tree demon that looked 70% similar to him.
At that time, the tree demon had two second-level minions, which were very powerful and were "ordinary boss-level" monsters in the ruins.
Because he had used the same trick on him before, Xu Shu still had a deep impression of him.
So now when he saw another tree demon, he immediately remembered it.
[“This monster’s weakness seems to be fire, but where is the fire here? This is not good~” You thought anxiously. ]
【You are anxious as hell. 】
[As you enter, the tree demon becomes alert. It senses some kind of pressure from somewhere and begins to growl at you, trying to force you back.]
[You approached silently without saying a word, and found that this tree demon had taken root in the corpse of an old man, using his internal organs after his belly was opened as nutrients. At the same time, the old man's body was emitting a light green fluorescence.]
[Every move you make makes the tree demon more and more uneasy. It can't help but roar at you hoarsely: "Human, what do you want to do!"]
[“Is this your master, the living cultivator Wang Quanxing?” You did not make a move, but asked calmly.]
[The tree demon stares at you without answering.]
[On the other hand, the three survivors in the corner were sober-minded and could tell that you were quite powerful and were most likely a rank-two expert at the same level as them. They also saw that you were here to save them, so they took advantage of the time when the tree demon didn’t dare to move and hid behind you, saying:——]
[“Yes, sir, this is our Director Wang!”]
[“My lord, please be careful. This is a late-stage second-order monster. It’s very powerful!”]
[Although you look too young, each of them is more than 1.5 times your age, but in the extraordinary world, strength is respected, so it is not unfair for them to call you "sir". ]
[Of course, they are still too timid and imaginative to discover your true strength.]
[“That’s Wang Quan’s nature. A second-level living cultivator should have two strange servants. What about the other one?” You nodded, looked at the tree demon thoughtfully and asked, “I see that you are quite intelligent. How about this, answer me a question. Why, as a strange servant, can you resist the control of your master? Tell me, if you answer well, I’ll leave you a good way.”]
[The tree demon was stunned by your question. It looked at its former master, then at you. Its eyes were dull and it began to mutter to itself, "Ah? Why... Yes, why... It seemed like something was calling me... I heard it, I heard him say, he said. Ah, the tree roots hurt so much~"]
[The tree demon suddenly wailed, and your eyes lit up, realizing that something was indeed fishy.]
[You feel the answer is right before your eyes, and you are about to force it to continue answering. ]
[However, at this moment, the black-haired girl behind the tree demon stroked its head with her hand and said gently: "Don't be afraid, Brother Huaishu, let's work harder and kill this hypocritical human."]
[Before she finished speaking, the girl raised her head, smoothed her hair, and smiled charmingly at you.]
【You look over and meet her eyes.】
[Crack! You suddenly find that the air around you seems to be solidified and the space seems to be blocked.]
[Oh no! You've been tricked!]
[You stare into the abyss, and the abyss also stares into you. You have triggered the 'betting agreement', and you are locked into the abyss! Now you cannot leave the laboratory unless you fight your enemy to the death! ]
【In the process, you also learned the identity of this little girl. 】
[It turns out that she is not a simple human, but a hybrid of a demon and a human, the second stage - "Sperm-eating ghost"! ]
[You are locked in this octagonal cage by the enemy! ]
