The temperature inside the flying saucer has reached minus seven degrees.
"Ice Ghost" and "Gardener" held back the steps of Sun Mozhu and the others. Although they could not cause effective damage, they could not move too fast if they were always vigilant and had to resist such severe cold.
Lu Ning didn't know about the existence of the "Gardener", but she knew from the cold alone that support wouldn't come quickly. In other words, she might have to rely on her alone.
She didn't forget that there was a guy on this floor who dug a hole and pulled himself down.
Now Lu Ning is running in one direction following some kind of "instructions". That was the "moving red mist" that appeared in her vision after killing the lizard born in that room.
At first I thought it was the one upstairs chasing him down, but if you look closely, you can see that the red mist is the dead lizard carcass being slowly absorbed by the ground, and then moving along the metal wall.
In this way, a clear indicator line was formed on the ground, an indicator line that only she could see.
As long as you follow the red mist, you will definitely find something - Lu Ning, who made such a judgment, now forced himself to follow the end of the red mist.
Ten minutes later, however, she stopped in front of a metal wall.
This was a dead end. The red mist passed under the wall and disappeared. She had touched every part of the wall but could not find a way through.
If you take a detour, it may be too late.
Lu Ning coughed twice, and a warm feeling came from the hand covering her mouth.
As expected, the murderous aura penetrating the body still caused damage to the body. Under normal circumstances, it might be cured by just sleeping, but in such a harsh environment, it became the last straw.
It's clearly right in front of you——
She supported the wall with all her strength and continued to knock unwillingly, trying to find a place where she could pass.
"about to die……"
【You are dying. 】
"who……"
His eyelids were already extremely heavy, and his body was falling downwards as if pressed by a thousand kilograms of weight. The voices coming from his consciousness could no longer be distinguished as hallucinations or reality.
[It’s a pity that your life is wasted like this. Do you want to contribute? At least it can be regarded as a continuation, but naturally it comes at a price. 】
"What the hell...can you still choose to switch camps now..."
Lu Ning grinned.
"Come out early, then you won't have to work so hard..."
[Then, your answer is——]
"I want to live and live happily than anyone else."
"The unlucky mastermind is deceiving people again."
Pei Xuan on the shore had already changed into a diving suit, but he did save things like oxygen bottles.
"The problem of picking people up when they see them is also a problem engraved in the genes. After all, what it must perform is to collect various genes in this world to build a body suitable for the protoss. Even if the Son of Heaven has been completed, this process will still continue. Carry on.”
Cheng Wuling threw a tightly tied waterproof bag to Pei Xuan.
"What's this?"
"When Lu Ning wakes up, she is a 'companion'. Give this to her, and then do as I told you before. In addition, I will use your second chance to kill Sun Mozhu."
"Kill her? Why..."
"As for the mission, it is most appropriate for her to die at this point in time. The other three people should be properly shocked. When killing Sun Mozhu, do not let her touch the ground and wall of the flying saucer."
"Troublesome work."
"It's not troublesome, why let you do it? Yu Chan will be back here at seven o'clock in the morning. Before that, we have to deal with all the problems in the flying saucer."
"Yes, hahaha!"
Pei Xuan laughed and jumped into the water.
Darkness magnifies senses other than vision. The coldness has penetrated the bone marrow. It is impossible for normal humans to have such a body temperature. Usually, people with this temperature will be called - "corpse".
Yet the consciousness remains.
The murmurs that gradually began to echo in my head were like prayers and murmurs. The feeling of unknown blood flowing in the body became extremely clear at this moment, bringing a feeling of happiness like heaven.
At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly raised his arm.
Click!
The not-so-heavy lid was smashed away with a single blow, and the green gelatinous liquid began to flow out. The lungs were exposed to the air again, and at the same time, there was a burning pain in the throat.
[Warning, Son of Shadow is not completed——]
The red fog line was swallowed up by an even bigger red fog, and the voice that had been echoing in my mind was cut off.
"So dangerous, so dangerous."
Lu Ning smiled and slowly got up from the "coffin". Her right arm and right leg were covered with unknown black substances, and the wounds on her body were blocked by these substances. Her right eye showed congestion symptoms like those violent monsters in the hospital.
Although I can't see myself like this, I want to know what's going on.
The "Shadow Child" ceremony was only halfway through. She had already escaped the category of 'human', but she had not yet reached that point.
"It's incomprehensible that you actually refused this way of life."
There was a person standing outside the door, and the solid blood mist was still fresh in Lu Ning's memory. It was the dark red color that only the sons of heaven would gather, so...
"Pei Xuan, why did Cheng Wuling ask you to come here?"
she asked, tilting her head.
"Let's take a look at the situation and bring you some gifts... Who knew you would wake up early." Pei Zhangzhang threw out the waterproof bag and sneered, "Cheng Wuling may have seen the wrong person this time. Your current body In this state, there are probably less than twenty-four hours left.”
"oh?"
"Even if you are only partially transformed into a child of shadow, I can still read your physical condition. Although both humans and children of shadow have genes from humans, the part that belongs to the star spirit will have a fierce conflict. You will soon be He will die due to self-immunity... That will probably be very miserable, right? Hahahaha!"
Pei Xuan made no secret of his malice.
"No need to worry, since you didn't kill me, does it mean there is no need?"
"No need, I'm happy to watch how you die. Now that Cheng Wuling's plan is completed, I'll see what results can be achieved! I will definitely come to watch this show when you collapse! Hahahaha !”
He laughed and walked away.
Lu Ning didn't care about him, lowered her head and opened the waterproof bag. Inside was a familiar compass and a letter.
[To Lu Ning:
Lan Yushu's relic, I think you may need it more now.
I'll treat you to Lewie Havonie's coffee when I get back.
Cheng Wuling]
"Twenty-four hours is enough."
Lu Ning clenched her fist and felt the full power for the first time. The cold outside cannot affect this already cold body. Even if it will die soon, it is in good condition now!
A thin layer of ice has condensed on the ground outside the door.
However, the temperature froze at minus twelve degrees and never dropped further.
At an intersection on the second floor, a "cocoon" covered in white frost hung in the center of the intersection. An extremely cold-looking mist floated out from the gap, and soon condensed into ice flowers and fell.
Sun Mozhu, Luo Lin and Shi Yi stood not far away, staring closely at the huge cocoon - Shu Xingruo used the vines and himself as bait to form a strangulation, successfully trapping the invisible low-temperature attacker. , she herself is in a cocoon.
The three of them couldn't wait to see whether they would win or lose. There are other enemies watching in the dark. They have been waiting for a quarter of an hour and can no longer waste time.
"Let's go." Luo Lin gritted his teeth and turned and ran to the passage next to him. The map was in his hand. He knew the way downstairs.
"But..." Shi Yi was interrupted as soon as he started speaking.
"If you plan to be planted with flowers and die, stay here! Without Shu Xingruo's shield, we can only keep moving!"
The flower growing on Luo Lin's arm is still blooming in such a severe cold, but Luo Lin has already tried it. As long as the flower is slightly damaged, his blood will be extracted immediately to repair it, unless it is completely eradicated - that is Cut off the arm.
It wasn't that he couldn't make up his mind, but he was underwater now and there were no useful first aid measures. The blood loss from a broken arm would kill him.
Perhaps influenced by that painting, Luo Lin felt resentment towards Shi Yi, who was unharmed, and his tone became more and more anxious. Shi Yi's character became much weaker. He began to be extremely afraid of death and was a little timid in the face of danger.
In comparison, Shu Xingruona's fighting method of dying together was a bit unexpected.
Luo Lin ran directly to the lower level. The mental interference did not make him forget that there was Lu Ning to save below. However, after delaying for so long, he was afraid that Lu Ning would also be in danger. Sun Mozhu and Shi Yi followed behind, both of them fell into silence.
That's when the accident happened.
When Shi Yi went downstairs, his foot missed the mark and he fell straight down. The two people behind him who witnessed Shi Yi's fall quickly chased after him, only to find that there were no holes on the stairs that could allow someone to fall.
"It's the one who attacked Lu Ning just now——"
Wind!
Sun Mozhu quickly drew his knife, and the dagger stopped the digger's sharp claws in the air. He turned slightly and kicked the enemy down the stairs with one kick.
"Shi Yi! Watch behind you!"
She only had time to give a warning before rushing downstairs. After such a long time, she had become accustomed to the darkness. It was not a big problem to rely on the faint light and hearing coming from the flying saucer.
The sound of metal colliding was endless, and in the darkness I could only hear Sun Mozhu's shouts from time to time. After all, the fighting ability of the cave digger was only at the level of ordinary people, and a sneak attack was not enough. After only two minutes of head-on confrontation, Sun Mozhu took the opportunity to kill him. A paw.
At this time, Shi Yi on the steps suddenly let out a scream!
"I'm hit! It's growing! I, I'm going to die, I'm going to die-"
The sound stopped suddenly, and a dragging sound moved from near to far, and then quickly moved away. Sun Mozhu suddenly became anxious. He grabbed a flaw, grabbed the digger's throat, and slammed him to the ground!
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the body in the hand twitched twice, as if it was still struggling. At this moment, the dagger penetrated directly into the head, ending its life.
"Shi Yi! Where are you? Can you hear me?"
After getting rid of this annoying servant, Sun Mozhu immediately turned on the flashlight and looked behind him. There were blood stains on the stairs. A little further up, he saw a pair of bare feet.
When we arrived, all five of us were wearing flippers.
