The final gentleman

In the unbearably hot stamping workshop, the final bullet assembly and testing is underway.

As a giant finished bullet is displayed in front of everyone,

The surface of the cartridge case and bullet head can still see the lines that a chain should have, and there are also closely arranged "bumps" all over.

These small bumps are fired simultaneously when the bullet is fired.

Due to the heat generated by the explosion of the internal gunpowder, all the warheads bulge outwards, and the bulges form pinpricks when exiting the barrel. The painful properties contained in the warheads will be maximized.

The pain bullet has passed the factory's safety inspection and can be used normally as ammunition. According to the jointly developed design drawings, it can be independently produced in the future.

However, due to the special nature of the pain chain, even if the entire factory is fully productive, it can only produce less than three pills per day at most.

Therefore, it is best to mainly use conventional bullets and put painful bullets in them for actual combat.

"Finally done! Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Yi Chen also gently rubbed Little Grape's hooded head. During this period, it was not idle for a moment.

Perhaps because of the direct connection with firearms, Xiao Putao monitored the entire process of bullet production, and also used the pupil technique many times to assist in the production.

"It seems that I have been in the workshop for a long time. I don't know where the carriage went."

When the consciousness returned to the physical body, my ears quickly received a strange burning sound of a campfire.

It is different from the hoarse roar that firewood makes at the end of its life. It is more like a feeling of hardened connective tissue dancing wildly due to burning.

Opening his eyes, a thick and stiff cast-iron helmet with the outline of a human face came into view.

"You're awake."

The strong sense of oppression emanating from the mask forced Yi Chen to instinctively push himself to the ground and retreat, even wanting to pull out a gun, until his back bumped into the body of an acquaintance.

The head wearing a colorful mask gently rested on Yi Chen's shoulder.

"William, what are you doing? Your consciousness has been away from your body for too long, and you can't even distinguish the situation in front of you? Who is this person?"

"Mr. Allman!? We have reached the entrance of the passage?"

"Otherwise, if you sleep like a dead pig, why should you let me wait in the carriage for you to wake up... Anyway, you don't weigh much, so it only takes five more minutes to carry you up the mountain.

Mr. Allman seems to have something to tell you about what happened when you left the passage last time. Come on. "

Jin had long heard that William had a conflict with the monitor for some reason last time, and wanted to know what happened.

"Ah~"

Yi Chen naturally knows better than anyone else that the last time he was seriously injured and fainted in the old world was when Yuehen Lorian disguised himself as him and left the passage and was discovered.

At that time, a conflict broke out with Monitor Allman and Reagan who was waiting at the exit, and then escaped using illusions.

"Mr. Allman, last time..."

However, a heavy voice came directly from under the cast iron mask, interrupting what Yi Chen wanted to say, "Since you can appear here in this state, it means that the last time was a misunderstanding. There is no need to explain anything to me. .

I just want to know the origin of the patient who pretended to be you last time? He was able to camouflage to such an extent that if it weren't for the bonfire set up in advance that illuminated the silver under his skin, it would have been impossible to tell. "

Yi Chen had no choice but to tell everything about Lorian.

From the false moon incident to the subsequent connection between the two, as well as their encounter in Cold Lake before heading to the old world, and their shared adventure in the old world.

Allman listened to such bizarre stories with great interest. He had not had such a storytelling exchange with others for a long time.

"In other words, you still maintain a friendly relationship with Patient Zero, right? He has assisted you many times, even in nightmare incidents that directly threatened the organization.

Did I come with you this time too? I would really like to meet him. "

After hearing such a conversation, Jin couldn't help but came closer out of curiosity, and even slipped his palm into Yi Chen's collar to try to feel for any foreign objects that might be present in his body.

Yi Chen waved his hand quickly, "No~ Lorian is on an important "pathway" and shouldn't see me in a short time. "

“Are the pathways…already moving towards the next phase of open source?

Yes, the organization actually acknowledges the existence of Patient Zero to a certain extent, because they can remain absolutely independent and will not be affected too much by the old world, which means that part of them as humans still exists.

Promoting human civilization is not just the responsibility of the organization.

Allowing such Patient Zero to survive will make it more likely to achieve this goal.

That's it~ While you were sleeping, Miss Jin had already explained the purpose of your visit, and then it was time to talk about the main topic.

At present, this [channel] has been open for more than a year. Not only is the expansion of the gray area, many things on the other side of the channel have become different.

Sick people in the old world have long discovered the existence of passages and have crossed them many times.

Although they were all killed by me, there were some tough and powerful ones among them. "

Allman pointed to a dark wound on the edge of his ribs under his armpit. The weird wound was difficult to recover from and was even still aching.

"There should be a large number of Old World patients stationed on the opposite side of the passage, and an [epidemic circle] has even been established around the passage. This passage will soon become unusable, and my surveillance work will end in about a month.

This is the situation. If you still choose to go there, you need to think about how to deal with the indigenous people on the other side of the passage in advance.

Of course, it would be better if you had the ability to kill them all, which would save me a lot of work. "

"Okay, let's go over there and take a look."

Yi Chen didn't care. He had an invitation letter from the original tomb and the "Skin Bible" on him. Jin was also a member of the Cancer Palace, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Seeing that the two of them had decided to leave, Allman fulfilled his duty as a monitor, got up and walked towards the deepest wall of the temple.

In Yi Chen's impression, the initially formed passage could barely allow one person to climb in and there was nothing unusual about it.

nowadays,

The entire wall of the temple was flowing with pus, and even with the suppression of the bonfire, the stones attached to it were still squirming.

As Watcher Allman removes an entire wall of stone,

A rotten flesh hole occupying the entire wall appeared before his eyes. There were a large number of inflammatory papules, cysts, nodules, and even some viral festering herpes on the surface.

And the inside of the channel is still shrinking irregularly,

Through the squeezing of the fleshy layer, the essence of the lesions of the old world is transported here, and the thick gray matter visible to the naked eye overflows from inside, aggravating the disease and erosion of the world here.

As a human in the native world, Yi Chen naturally felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene, but when he thought that the power he relied on also came from pathogens, his feeling became contradictory.

Without much hesitation,

A scarf of embers made of small grapes covered his face. Yi Chen took the lead and stepped into the passage first, walking at a normal walking speed on the smooth, soft and uneven passage.

Kim followed closely behind.

As the two of them gradually disappeared into the passage,

Monitor Allman immediately picked up his black heavy halberd to cut off all the expanding fleshy tissue, and then quickly picked up stones to re-seal the passage.

Cough cough cough~

After doing all this, Allman began to cough violently, and black mucus even flowed from under the cast iron helmet.

He walked towards the bonfire with extremely difficult steps, as if reaching that place would relieve his symptoms.

boom!

When we were still five meters away from the bonfire,

Orman's body swayed and he knelt on one knee, holding the halberd with both hands to barely support himself.

at this time,

The black knight armor on his body (right shoulder) was stretched open by some foreign object, and twisted black tentacles crazily emerged from it.

A large number of tentacles clustered together and formed a twisted human face at the end, whispering unknown to Allman's ear, a whisper that could destroy his willpower.

at this time,

Alman, who was already unable to support himself, angrily raised the heavy halberd, spun it in the air a few times and then inserted it directly into his shoulder, cutting off all the tentacles and piercing his body, fixing it to the ground.

Even so, something was still moving among the shadows of the wound.
