On the first floor of the base, Ludi casually tossed the last Justice Paladin aside.
After lighting another cigarette for himself, he slowly walked into the depths of the base.
When he passed by some petri dishes, he purposely stopped.
At the bottom of some of the petri dishes in front of him, there was an image of a sacrificial flower.
These things and images brought back some of Ludi's memories.
He had been silent for so long that many people in the Fourth Ring Road had already forgotten about his past and the Hunter King.
This time, if Lü Luo hadn't called him over, he would probably have continued to be silent.
If it wasn't something that had truly fallen into his hands, Ludi wouldn't have cared.
He wasn't ready yet. He still needed to continue waiting.
However, when he saw everything in front of him, especially these dead women, Ludi's heart still wavered.
"Originally, you could have become someone else's bride."
At this moment, a very penetrating singing voice came from the depths of the ground.
Ludi touched his head and felt a bit of pain.
"This singing voice? It's so uncomfortable! "
This song was the baby lullaby that Qiu Guling had often practiced singing when she was pregnant.
Although it was a very melodious lullaby, when it came out of the female mutants' mouths, it was filled with resentment and pain.
What surprised Ludi was that all the brides he had interacted with seemed to know how to sing this song, as if it was some kind of talent.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be very possible.
This was because this song was a human song. Although it was a common baby lullaby song, it was impossible for every woman to know it.
However, in the brides that Ludi had dealt with over the years, all of the brides knew how to sing this song. This was what really puzzled him.
"Is there something that's teaching them? Qiu Guling? If it's really Qiu Guling, does that mean that she's still alive? "
Ludi knew that there would definitely be a lot of information and information about the brides here. He really wanted to see it, but he was a bit conflicted.
He didn't know what he was conflicted about, but he was conflicted.
"Hey, since we're already here, let's go down and take a look!"
Compared to Ludi, Qiao Xing's actions were much simpler. He followed behind Lü Luo.
He did not want to know the situation here, nor did he want to know what Zhang Tianyi had been doing all these years as a missionary of the Church.
He would not stop what the Church was doing, even if what they were doing had already crossed the bottom line of humanity.
Because someone had tried to stop it, but that person had died. (Qiao Xing's story. See Extras for details)
In the past, Qiao Xing only wanted to live a peaceful life, but now it was different. He had more important things to do.
For example, Lü Luo in front of him.
…
On the third underground floor, Lü Luo narrowed his eyes as he held the Fruit of Life.
"Is this the legendary Fruit of Life?
The people of the Church rely on this to extend their lifespans? "
Judging from the evaluation of this item, it was not as simple as just going against humanity. It had crossed the bottom line of humanity. What an honest evaluation!
Lü Luo put the Fruit of Life back into the box and put it away.
He didn't know what Qiao Xing would think if he saw this, or what Ludi would think.
"There's still Song Hana left!"
After ending the battle, Lü Luo followed the hole that had yet to be fully excavated.
Not long after he entered, he stopped.
A large white snake appeared in front of him. It was the same snake that had been in the center of the petri dish.
And on top of the white snake was Song Hana, as if she had been waiting for him.
[Unknown mutant. Suspected to be a white snake. Elite Fourth Grade. Abilities unknown.
Attributes: Strength 150, Agility 90, Physique 200.
As a special mutant, the white snake has attributes comparable to a Fifth Grade Lord, even though it is only Fourth Grade. In some aspects, it is even more powerful.]
Apart from the white snake, there were many other special mutants around the cave. For example, Crimson Carapace, or some special deformed mutants.
These mutants were all elite mutants that had undergone a second mutation. Each of them had their own unique abilities.
[Let's not talk about quantity. Just based on quality alone, I don't think I can beat it!
Host, can you confirm if Qiao Xing is behind you?]
"She is."
Lü Luo was very sure. Because when he killed Zhang Tianyi and obtained the Fruit of Life, he could sense a strong sword aura.
He clearly felt a strong sword intent, but it was quickly restrained.
With Qiao Xing around, he naturally had nothing to worry about. You guys might be strong, but I have a big boss behind me. I'm not weak.
However, looking at Song Hana standing on the snake's head, Lü Luo felt a little strange. Why did Song Hana stop running?
"Why did you stop running?"
"My mutant told me that hunters and guards have completely surrounded the slums. I can't run anymore, so I stopped."
Lü Luo narrowed his eyes. This reason was very far-fetched.
Previously, Song Hana was the first to react. Coupled with these mutants, if she wanted to run, she would definitely be able to shake him off.
However, she was still an ordinary person. Even if she could escape from him, she couldn't escape from Qiao Xing's speed.
Lü Luo always had a doubt in his heart. This doubt had been there since Li Qingshu followed him.
"What's your purpose in looking for me?"
"Everyone has their own pursuit. I also have it. For this, it's worth fighting."
Song Hana didn't give a clear answer, but Lü Luo's suspicion in his heart deepened.
This woman, does she know some secrets about me? Just like Li Qingshu!
If she really knows, did she tell others what she knows?
"The thing you're talking about, is it the Fruit of Life?"
Lü Luo took out the Fruit of Life that he took from Zhang Tianyi. Although this thing had no bottom line, there was no doubt that its effect was amazing.
Using the Fruit of Life to test Song Hana should be a very useful method.
But who knew, Song Hana directly shook her head.
"How can trash like the Fruit of Life be compared with what I'm pursuing?
Its so-called life-prolonging effect would become weaker and weaker as the amount of food consumed increased.
It doesn't change the essence of human life, nor can it change the future of human life. It's just that the people in power aren't willing to give up the benefits. "
Lü Luo didn't expect Song Hana to say such a thing. But if she didn't want the Fruit of Life.
Then what she wanted to know was probably related to him.
"What exactly is it that you're pursuing?"
Song Hana pursed her lips and looked at Lü Luo with some infatuation.
"If it was before, I might still be confused about whether it's some kind of purification, some kind of power, or some kind of sequence.
But when I saw today, I understood that those are not what I want to find.
What I really want is you, Lü Luo! "
Although Song Hana's words were very vague and inexplicable, Lü Luo was able to connect with these secondary aberrations and immediately understood what she meant.
"What you want, is life energy?"
Song Hana, who was standing on the head of the white snake, slightly raised her head and looked at Lü Luo with a condescending posture.
"Life energy, is that what you call it? I usually call it mutant power.
It's really incredible, Lü Luo! I still remember your information. You were an orphan and didn't have a name since you were young.
You were adopted by Madam Lu from the orphanage and then named Lü Luo.
You were very outstanding in your studies and looked handsome, but you didn't like to communicate with others. Your previous performance could be said to be very introverted.
When you were in school, there was a girl named Qin Wanyu who was very close to you, but you never accepted her.
After the 404 incident, Qin Wanyu went missing, and your personality also changed drastically!
This information should be correct, right?
Your personality changed drastically, and your power increased by leaps and bounds in just a few months. You were so strong that you could even kill a Grade 3 cleric with a lift of your hand.
Lü Luo, I didn't expect you to already have the power to carry mutant power. "
[She should have already discovered the Devourer, or guessed the ability you might have.
But why does everyone have to emphasize that you are an orphan?]
How would I know? Lü Luo narrowed his eyes. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the Devourer was exposed.
His speed of improvement and his physique couldn't be hidden forever.
Even though Song Hana, Qiao Xing, and Ludi were all hiding it for him, there would always be people investigating him as his power increased and the Circle Workshop grew stronger.
He couldn't afford to be investigated, because his previous information should have been recorded by the Alliance's orphanage and Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals.
Comparing the two, there was no need to investigate. Killing a Grade 3 Extraordinaire in a few months, and you're telling me it's not a problem?
Even though he would be exposed sooner or later, there was still a difference between sooner and later.
He could secretly kill Song Hana here and destroy the evidence.
Then, he could bribe Qiao Xing with two hundred bucks and bring Ludi to a few free brothels. Lü Luo felt that he could continue to drag things out.
"Oh? You know quite a lot, and then what? What do you want? "
"I want to know what happened to your body. Why can you carry mutant power?
Is it a treasure? Or a sudden awakening sequence? There has to be a reason to become stronger, right? "
Wasn't it easy to make up a reason?
"A reason? I awakened D14 Dexterity, and my speed became faster.
I didn't have any nutrition when I was young, so I was always weak and didn't have much combat ability.
Now that I'm earning money and living conditions are better, I eat meat every day, and my strength and physique have caught up.
Eating meat to strengthen one's physique, isn't that normal? I don't even know what you're surprised about. "
[It's reasonable and convincing.]
If devouring mutants was considered eating meat, then Lü Luo's words weren't wrong.
"Hehe, Lü Luo, I know you're stalling for time, but aren't you curious why I'm stalling for time with you under such circumstances?"
"Ah?"
Lü Luo was slightly taken aback, and Song Hana had already given the order to attack.
"Actually, I've done so much, but what I really need is a piece of your flesh!
These mutants are the masterpieces of me and another person over many years.
They are the crystallization of the Alliance's biotechnology, and they already have a special consciousness.
In fact, we're only one step away from success. Lü Luo, I hope your flesh won't disappoint me!
Attack. "
At Song Hana's order, Lü Luo's body instantly tensed up.
"Old Qiao, why aren't you attacking?"
Qiao Xing, who was hiding in the dark, was about to attack. Then, he realized … that the mutants weren't moving!
Thus, he wasn't in a hurry. He took out Li Lan's hand-fried sunflower seeds, sat down, and watched the show. Continue watching the show!
Lü Luo was also puzzled. He looked at the mutants in front of him, took two steps forward, and then stopped.
"The way these mutants are looking at me … doesn't feel right? Is there a trap? "
[These mutants are in a very normal state. Their physiological functions are also very balanced and perfect. There are no abnormalities.
However, they are emitting a special type of pheromone. There is insufficient information to determine the specific situation.]
"You always drop the ball at crucial moments. Can't you be a little more useful?"
[Please read more books and try your best to increase your knowledge. This will reduce the situation of you being like a child.]
Lü Luo wasn't the only one who was surprised. Song Hana was also very surprised. This was the first time she had encountered a situation where the mutants didn't listen to her orders.
"White Snake? Red Armor? "
Red Armor turned its head to look at Song Hana, then at the White Snake, and finally at Lü Luo.
It knocked its pincers cutely and then lowered its head.
It slowly approached Lü Luo and then took the initiative to extend its scorpion tail needle. It even shook it!
How should he put it? This action was like a dog trying to please you.
Lü Luo looked at Red Armor's scorpion tail needle. His first reaction was that he really wanted it!
Can you pull this off and give it to me?
However, looking at Red Armor who was crawling on the ground, Lü Luo ultimately didn't do such an inhumane thing.
"What is the meaning of this? White Snake! "
Whoosh!
While Song Hana was questioning, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The White Snake's teeth had pierced her stomach.
In shock, she immediately took out her pistol and fired a few shots at the White Snake's eyes.
However, how could a normal human's strength be compared to a mutant's?
Bullets without any enchantments were like tickles to a high-level mutant like the White Snake.
The White Snake didn't kill Song Hana immediately. Instead, it bit through Song Hana's spine and brought her to Lü Luo.
Seeing this scene, Lü Luo was shocked. Qiao Xing was also shocked.
Ludi, who had just arrived, dropped his cigarette.
What was going on? Mutants were rebellious.
For a mutant like the White Snake, if it reached Level 5, it would definitely become a super Lord.
At this moment, it used its tongue to poke Song Hana on the ground and spoke to Lü Luo in the language exclusive to mutants.
"You have finally returned, my Lord. We have already made our preparations."
Preparations? What preparations? Can you not speak in riddles? The Observer is useless. It doesn't know anything!
At this moment, Zhou Kai actually rushed over from nearby. As he ran, he shouted.
"Brother Luo, I'm here to help you. I'm very strong now, really!"
Zhou Kai was originally full of confidence. However, when he saw a bunch of elite mutants crowding in front of Lü Luo, even a Level 2 elite like Red Armor was like a lackey.
He silently felt the power that he had just broken through Level 1, and then he felt weak.
"Uh, the atmosphere team is in place. You guys are too nervous, so I'll help you guys adjust the atmosphere.
You don't have to look at me. Continue, continue. "
Zhou Kai was clearly terrified. He didn't leave and just stood at the side, secretly cheering for Lü Luo.
The White Snake and the others didn't look at Zhou Kai. Under their confused gazes, the White Snake suddenly opened its mouth.
The other mutants did the same. They focused their gazes and will in front of Lü Luo.
Then, the bodies of these mutants started to collapse!
This collapse wasn't like rotting, nor was it like the explosion of flesh and blood. It was like some kind of disintegration into small particles that gradually gathered in front of Lü Luo.
The xenogeneics were dying in droves, and they formed a ball in front of Lv Luo. It was about the size of a fist.
The White Snake was the strongest, but it was also the last to completely disintegrate.
Before it died, the White Snake extended its head to Lü Luo's hand and used its white eyebrows to rub against Lü Luo's finger.
"I'll wait for your call."
Looking at the floating ball in front of him, Lü Luo couldn't help but extend his eight Devourer tentacles.
This ball seemed to have an irresistible temptation to him.
Ludi and Zhou Kai had seen the previous Devourers, but the current Devourers were much stronger and more ridiculous.
As for Qiao Xing and Song Hana, it was their first time seeing a Devourer.
Everything that happened in front of them was too sudden. No one was mentally prepared.
Many unknown substances flowed into Lü Luo's body through the Devourer's tentacles.
At the same time, a notification came.
[Life energy automatically strengthened. All your attributes + 5.]
[World Ring rotated. Doomsday Disc rotated synchronously once. Obtained Sequence Particle 1.]
[Doomsday Disc rotated number of times + 1. Number of times entering the Disc World + 1.]
[Your Devourer — Mutant Seed has received some strengthening.]
[Sequence Particle has been activated. Sequence S-07 — Summoner.]
Just as Lü Luo was accepting the gifts of these mutants, a small unknown mutant broke out of the ground and suddenly bit Lü Luo's toe.
It bit off a small piece of flesh!
Seeing this scene, Song Hana also smiled.
