The Big Potato Elevator in the XC area of Mimir Hot Spring Market is an engineering elevator that connects the upper city and lower city.
Uptown is home to the Floyd mining area and industrial park, a train station and settlements.
In the lower city area are the Mimir Geyser and the six artificial acropolis.
These acropolis, which served as outposts to resist disaster beasts, have now become satellite towns. Further away, there are endless wilderness and ancient mines.
Near the urban-rural fringe is the artificial river channel of Mimir Geyser. Looking upward, about 400 meters away, a kilometer-wide Great Rift Valley divides the entire Mimir Hot Spring Market into two parts. This is The Mohorovich Discontinuity Rift Valley.
The large arch bridge on Sunset Avenue connects the West City and the East City.

...
At this moment, people gathered at the security inspection pass of the big elevator and stopped a convoy in front of the last hot spring pass.
About thirty of them were armed employees of Jiujie Station, and their armbands had the Hellcat trademark printed on them.
The other twenty or so people are external security guards recommended to Jiujie Station by the Masons. Their names are also simple and easy to understand, called [Red Rock Rock Fire Brigade]. The duty of these officers and soldiers is to protect the property safety of the people in the city. Many of them are Mercenary temporary workers.
At this moment, thirteen large freight trucks drove up the low slope of the ramp to the elevator's reception platform.
The two monitors from HELLCAT Class 7 and Class 5 immediately came forward to question him.
"Hello, what is the consignment? Let me see the audit slip." The monitor of Class 7 is a burly woman in her forties, with scars all over her face and thick arms. She reaches out to the driver's window of the truck and says, "Send it to me. Where?"
The truck driver stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Sister Employee! Doesn't the truck have the logo of the Masons? They are all ingredients sent to the uptown area! They are very precious! They will definitely sell for a good price, otherwise... we Let’s discuss it privately.”
"Watch your words." The squad leader put her hand on the holster of her gun, "Were you bribing me just now? Bribing the mounted police of the Abyss Railway Bureau?"
The driver immediately raised his hands, his face turned pale with fright, and his visor fell off, revealing a Mediterranean hairstyle.
"Hey...hehehehe...don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!"
"Give me the audit sheet and your identification." After the squad leader sister finished speaking, she shouted to the brothers in Class 5 not far away: "Get up and work! Honey! These people said they are the logistics of the Masons. Employees! The rock band is here! Do you know them?"
The words have not yet fallen——
——Immediately some officers and soldiers shouted.
"It looks familiar...but if you ask me to call you by your name, I won't be able to say it out."
"Indeed... I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"Jason Megan! You came to the rock band to report four months ago and performed very well! You have stood on the posts from the first level to the sixth level! Tell me, have you seen these guys?" The bearded man from Class 5 Hu, the tall squad leader, grabbed a kind-faced Romanian man from the team.
——It’s none other than Jason Meagan.
Mr. Megan remained motionless.
At this moment, he was very nervous.
In order to catch up with Jiang Xueming, he came to this city and wanted to intercept his prey at the traffic artery as a firefighter of the Red Rock Rock Band.
This job is like a duck to water for him.
His keen inspiration can detect spiritual disaster monsters and find all kinds of contraband. Soon he became involved with HELLCAT's armed employees.
Colleagues are still wondering why such an excellent Lap-Gold Guard should be subordinated to others and come to the logistics checkpoint of Mimir Hot Spring to work as a gatekeeper.
Jason's pyroxene jewelry is a lapis lazuli bracelet. It is scarred and the strings have been broken more than once and then rewoven.
His roommate could hear unexplained murmurs in his sleep every day, chanting Jiang Xueming's name in his dreams.
Leave aside the side stories of chasing your inner demons.
Jason Meagan was very nervous.
He could feel the lapis lazuli on his wrist pulsating at a high frequency, like a rapid heartbeat.
There must be something wrong with the things loaded in these trucks, and the problems are big.
The Masons' trademark on the truck was a bright red millstone and carving knife, and Jason could smell the smell of conspiracy.
Those paints are so new, so new!
Just pick a lapis lazuli guard from the station or a professional criminal investigator, and you can spot the poor disguise of these trucks at a glance.
But at this juncture, he didn't know how to answer.
——Do you want to break your skin directly?
How many guns are there in these dozen trucks?
The beasts hiding inside seemed to be alive. I could feel their heavy breathing, the pain of the iron chains locking their backs, passing through their ribs, and cutting their vocal cords. The anger and fear could be projected directly into my body through the iron sheet. Pyroxene, projected into my heart.
If they want to kill the fish, will these repeat poaching offenders with unknown origins really surrender and be arrested?
The maximum load capacity of a single truck is fifty tons. Just look at the tires and you will know that all the monsters inside are heavyweights.
If it angers them——
——Let these disaster beasts out, I'm afraid there won't be any good results!
I will die here, my colleague...
These good friends...
They will all die here.
"Jason! What are you thinking?!" The monitor of Class 5 grabbed Mr. Jason's collar and shook it vigorously: "Wake up! Your inspiration is very powerful! It's better than us half-hearted people. Please cheer up. , look what’s in the truck!”
The monitor sister of Class 7 threw a security stick from a distance: "Check the concentration of spiritual disaster! Keep an eye on it!"
Mr. Jason braced himself to catch the security wand. His hand was trembling. His other hand grasped the M870, the main weapon, ready to switch the muzzle at any time.
He walked step by step toward the queue of trucks, and, surrounded by his companions, came to the iron sheet of the truck.
——The mountain of inspirational pressure almost swallowed him up!
He was extremely convinced that these trucks contained more than a dozen different kinds of spiritual disaster monsters, and he could even feel their body temperature through the thin layer of the truck skin.
The friends around me were completely unaware and were still joking half-heartedly.
"Hey...Jason, why do you look so ugly?"
"He is timid, hahahaha..."
"Why don't you get off work today? Can I take you to ride a roller coaster to practice your courage? Recently, this entertainment project has been added to the ancient mine tunnel. Among every hundred players, five lucky players will be randomly selected, and their mine carts will rush When crossing a big cliff, if you don’t swing the steel wheel handle fast enough, you may die! ~ It’s so exciting!”
Jason has no intention of joking at all. He is not a fun-loving person.
These colleagues are very good to him and are important partners...
He doesn't want to lose any more partners! He couldn't stand any more stimulation, and it was too cruel for him to punch a few more holes in his riddled heart.
The spiritual disaster concentration on the security inspection stick stayed at about 20%, and these trucks successfully passed the inspection.
The driver's leader also successfully submitted the audit form and a letter of recommendation for a shop under the jurisdiction of the Masons.
The two monitors had no objections and were ready to let him go.
...
...
But Jason knew—
——This is certainly not the case.
The people accompanying these vehicles, these drivers, must be up to something.
He pursed his lips, hesitant in his heart.
Do you want to speak out?
Should I say it or not...
"If my waiter, my beloved girl, is still here, she will definitely not sit idly by. She is much braver than me..." Jason was about to burst into tears.
He watched as these large trucks with hidden beasts were put on the scale, and the drivers happily received the weighing slips and passes.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Mr. Megan quickly shouted to stop and ran to the leader of the truck driver.
Put on an amiable mask and show off your performance with a smile that is superb.
"Hey! Team leader! Team leader, please wait a moment! I have something to ask you..."
The lead driver looked very smart. When he saw Jason, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"What's wrong? Rock musician? Haven't we already passed the security check? You checked it yourself!"
Jason timidly discussed: "Can we enter the city later...at least...until my brothers change their shifts..."
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" the truck leader interrupted: "Why is it later? These animals have to be sent to the city to be slaughtered and thrown into the cold storage to prepare the New Year's opening banquet for the soldiers. , you have to have a fresh meal during the Dionysus Festival, right?”
Jason was speechless and stammered: "I..."
"It's not impossible... um..." the truck leader came to Jason's side: "But it will delay some time. Will you pay for lost time? Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. I can enter the city anytime, but My employer won’t be too happy!~”
Jason's mouth was dry: "How much? How much do you want? Please wait until my brothers change shifts before going into the city? At least this way... they can... they can keep this job... no trouble can happen In our position...I..."
"Ah... at least one million pyroxene coins, a young man from Romania." The leader's expression became cold: "You know what's in the car? Right? Your inspiration is very keen... It should be a resume There are many passengers... and you don’t seem to be short of money. I don’t know what you want to do, but in business, you must treat people with integrity. I will not refuse your money.”
Jason swallowed nervously.
The leader bit Jason's earlobe and said with a smile.
"I don't understand why you want to take care of these ordinary people. Maybe you don't want them to lose their jobs, or maybe you don't want them to lose their lives in a firefight - but fortunately, you didn't pierce this dangerous window paper. Should I thank you? Should I kneel in front of you and thank you for your great kindness? Red rock rocker, Jason Megan?"
The truck leader took off his hat, took a big bite of the shrimp crackers, and then handed them to Jason's mouth.
"Eat it, and I'll agree to help. We'll be together."
"What is this?" Jason saw the meat stick in the leader's hand. He felt difficulty breathing, and his inspiration sent out waves of nausea.
"It's human flesh..." the team leader said with a smile: "You have been in Mimir Hot Spring for so long, don't you know it? We are carnivores - we can only eat meat, and eat this extremely energy-dense thing , the brain can move flexibly. Cows and sheep that can only eat grass will never understand why they are destined to be eaten by others if they are born."
"You said, as long as I eat it? I will be the same as you? Which one are you from?" Jason stretched out his hand, but did not dare to take the piece of shrimp crackers.
The leader swept off a few pieces of fake hair on his head, shed his disguise, and turned into a smart and capable bald man: "We are members of the Skull and Bones Society, a group of scavengers, people who were exiled by the Masons, and people who cannot be locked up in prison. And Like you, a person who has transformed more than once - you seem to...want to join us? You are such a talent...brother."
"Brother..." Jason was almost moved. The criminal villain ogre in his heart, perhaps a senior hunter, handed him human flesh shrimp crackers. This piece of human flesh would allow him to regain his freedom. newborn.
Jason reached for it: "Give it to me...I'll eat it...I want to eat it..."
"But! If you want to join the Skull and Bones Society, there is still a threshold..." The leader retracted his hand as if teasing a child, "No, you can't be in such a hurry, no, you're not hungry enough! I'm with you In my eyes, I can’t see hunger, I can’t see that crazy... hunger.”
"Hungry? Am I not qualified? What's missing in my eyes?" Jason didn't understand. Could it be that he really had no talent? Can't even be a bad guy? Destined to be mediocre and ordinary?
The leader covered his mouth and snickered: "Yes, you must have a waiter, right? Is it a man or a woman? Is it by your side? What's his name?"
"Yes..." Jason Megan nodded: "It's a girl... very young. What's her name... I don't know."
"Don't know her name? Do you know her number?" The team leader sat back on the stone pier in the green belt of the reception platform, preparing to have a long conversation.
Jason shook his head: "I didn't ask for her number... To be honest, I don't care about her... because I had more important things before..."
"It's a good thing not to care." The leader crossed his legs, covered his chin, grinned, and showed his fangs: "We and the station are at odds with each other. If you want to join the Skull and Bones Society, just kill your waiter. Use her brilliance Bring rocks and sticks.”
The leader looked intoxicated.
"And the most important thing, bring over the tenderest piece of meat on her body...the thigh? Or the face, or the brain, and let me cook it carefully to get rid of the prions. This ritual After it's over, you will have a strong sense of hunger..."
Jason stopped talking.
The team leader was still immersed in it, but his expression suddenly changed and became sinister and fierce.
"Don't try to deceive us with other meat... Let me tell you, I have eaten human meat and know what it tastes like. It tastes sour and very soft. I like to fry it into shrimp crackers so that I can eat it anytime, anywhere. It is an excellent snack to take out one and pop it into your mouth to eliminate fatigue - like my waiter, she stayed in the freezer for more than two months and accompanied me through the hungriest and most difficult times. That time.”
The leader pulled Jason to sit in a row and shook the shrimp crackers in his hand.
"Soon you'll fall in love with this feeling. It's the thrill of being above the apex predator, of dominating everything and conquering everything. You'll be addicted. Jason Megan, you will be. Addicted. I'll give you two hours to bring back your first prey if you really want to become a Skull and Bones hunter."
Jason gritted his teeth, feeling an unspeakable rage all over his body, and a faint green-gold flame could be seen in his eyes.
The team leader still showed that mean smile: "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty? It's not a difficult thing, right? You didn't even ask her name or her number. You don't care about her, do you?" Are you angry? Oh my god! You wouldn't be so angry at a stranger like me, would you? I'm helping you! Could it be that..."
The leader leaned close to Megan, bit the other earlobe, and murmured softly.
"Do you actually care about this waiter? Are you not from the same group as us? Are you deceiving yourself? Are you deceiving me too?"
The leader's expression changed from cheerful to vicious in an instant.
"I opened my heart to you, but you want to insult me? Curse me with that hesitant and coy look? Like a gangster at the station, you want to take me to jail? Have you betrayed my heart? !Jason Meagan!”
"It's not like this... It's not like this! It shouldn't be like this!" Jason said nervously. He stood up suddenly, almost going crazy.
"That's not it? What are you talking about! Jason, you've made me so confused! A mother-in-law can't be a bad guy!" The leader raised his head and was puzzled. He couldn't understand this Dacia at all. A man's thoughts.
"My prey can only be Jiang Xueming... My first prey can only be him!" Jason said fiercely: "Can we bargain and discuss the price? I will send Jiang Xueming's meat over first, and then we can discuss it. Let’s talk about the oil bottle that’s been following me, and let’s talk about what cooking method we should use if this waiter comes into the kitchen? In this order, is that okay?!”
"Who is Jiang Xueming? What does it have to do with me? Is he very important to you?" The team leader didn't understand. He didn't understand at all: "When you go out to travel in the world, you have to follow the rules. The rules of the Skull and Bones Society cannot be broken. You are trying to use other things to frustrate me? Are you perfunctory with me? Are you going to desecrate this sacred ceremony?!"
Jason raised his gun: "So there's nothing to talk about?"
"Oh oh oh! Oh! BRO!!! Brother!" The team leader raised his hands: "Don't get excited... I don't know what kind of mental illness you have. Maybe this Jiang Xueming has broken your heart. Is this guy a boy or a girl? "
Jason was aggressive and his gun was impartial: "It's a man."
The team leader was confused: "Huh? You don't miss the delicious waiter girl, but you want to eat the meat of a rough man?"
Jason: "He looks tender and tender. He should be more delicious than my waiter..."
The team leader became even more confused: "Did he break your heart? Is he a scumbag?"
Jason looked flustered and at a loss: "No... I won't talk anymore... I'm too lazy to explain to you..."
The leader gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Then I won't ask. Let's not talk about this human flesh business. Let's talk about other things. At least don't point your fucking gun at me. Your friends have already looked over!"
Jason Megan immediately disarmed, put his arm around the leader's shoulders, put on a playful smile, and greeted his colleagues.
"It's okay! It's okay, it's okay! We are just having fun!"
"Hehehe...just kidding...just kidding..."
...
...
Just as the two of them were chatting happily——
—a moment of almost kissing each other as a gesture of goodwill.
In the convoy, a truck made a low roar.
It seems that there is a disaster beast that can no longer stand this kind of imprisonment that is worse than life and wants to fight for its life.
The team leader has not yet reacted.
The smile on Jason's face just solidified.
When he said "just kidding".
A huge and sharp metal roar came out.
A terrifying hole suddenly opened in the carriage, with a strong smell of blood, and a lion's head poked out.
Its two eyes were blinded by hunters, its teeth were plucked out, and its jaw was broken. Its upper and lower jaw bones became soft and weak, and its face was covered with blood. It suffered more injuries when it broke through the iron skin of the truck. Its huge body The iron sheet was squeezed out, more wounds were opened, and blood gurgled out.
There was a shocking stab wound on its throat. Someone had cut off the vocal cords of this giant beast. Part of its trachea was damaged and it could no longer make a sound. There was only a low, heavy, and increasingly rapid breathing sound.
When it squeezed out of the carriage, its whole body collapsed on the reception platform - the hair on the alien wings on its back had been stripped off, and the sixteen iron chains tore off the fresh flesh from the wings.
Within seconds after it fell, it died.
Then there was silence——
——A huge and terrifying silence.
The armed employees saw that the spiritual disaster concentration on the security check stick increased sharply, from the safety line of 20% to over 80%, and it was still rising.
Jason's face was covered in cold sweat——
——The leader of the Skull and Bones Society was also covered in cold sweat.
This fear comes from their inspiration, and the huge inspiration pressure rushes towards them, almost crushing their nerves.
The disaster beasts that die in the Mohorovich Discontinuity Zone will turn into something even more terrifying due to the special geomagnetic environment. This process is called [transformation].
When the blood of the disaster beast comes into contact with the eclogitic rocks, it ignites fierce flames - the blue flames can almost blind people's eyes.
From the body of the winged lion, the monster reconstructed by Qingyan rose again.
It's so beautiful and powerful.
So much so that the surrounding armed employees forgot to shoot - it was like seeing the aurora for the first time or seeing a dragon on the clouds.
The barrel of the gun melted and bent in an instant, and people screamed. The skin and flesh on their hands were stuck to the hot handle and could no longer be separated.
In just a few seconds, the huge green lion flapped its wings and walked in circles. Several armed employees were relatively close, and they immediately turned into dead corpses without falling down, turning into barbecue sculptures.
Green flames shot out from the river of the Wisdom Spring, and they shot straight into the dome, like a ray of supreme heavenly light.
In the violently distorted high-temperature air, this king of beasts roasted the tires and iron sheets of the truck——
——Screaming flaming figures ran out of the vehicle. Those sounds did not last long before they became silent. Only the charred corpses fell down and there was no movement anymore.
The monitor sister of Class 7 took out her walkie-talkie and held a gun to her elbow with the other hand to shoot: "A spiritual disaster monster appears in the big elevator! The concentration of spiritual disaster is 100%! Requesting support, command post! Requesting support!"
Scattered projectiles hit the monster's body. Before they even touched the hair and skin, they began to twist and deform, emitting a molten golden light. The soft, high-temperature steel struck the lion's body without pain or itch.
It was indifferent to these bullets. It just opened the iron cans that were melted by the high temperature, fished out the flesh and blood of the beast that emitted steam and flames with its claws, and swallowed it into its belly.
After eating all the prey in the truck, its belly became swollen, its hair grew and spread in an instant, and became vibrant, and two horns suddenly protruded from its forehead.
The two horns have always been highlighted, and lightning as thick as a finger is wrapped around the horns, like two white snakes. "
Jason Megan was so frightened that he wanted to drag the Skull and Bones Society's second and fifth boys to ask him about the situation stammering——
——The green lion sneezed and snorted.
Just a loud roar was heard, and strong plasma rays were spit out from the monster's throat——
——In an instant, the leader of the Skull and Bones Society was melted by the sneeze and turned into hot broth. The terrifying plasma melted off one of Jason's arms.
People were shouting, running, and escaping to other passes.
"There is a disaster beast in the river of the geyser. Call the rescue team over quickly! We can't find its [death door]!"
"Help!—Help!"
There were cries for help and howls.
The smell of barbecue spreads far and wide with the strong valley wind.
Jason gritted his teeth and almost fainted from the pain. He rolled next to the green belt, took out the panacea with his other hand, and tried to stick it into the blood vessel in his thigh, but he couldn't hold the injection. His body was convulsing with pain and he could not save himself.
At that moment, a strong will to survive erupted in his eyes. Silk threads made of spiritual bodies were wrapped around his trembling arms, and he forcibly stabilized his arms and completed the injection.
His mind became a mess, and he returned to peace when the panacea took effect - thinking in his heart, I am afraid he will die from this today.
He collapsed to the ground and saw the huge lion-shaped monster in the distance pacing repeatedly on the reception platform. It did not roar or make any other movements. It was completely uninterested in humans and was not even qualified to be on its menu.
——What kind of freak is that?
Were the people at Mimir Hot Spring Market hunting this kind of mythical creature in the past?
The reality of the situation no longer allowed him to think too much. As his arms grew and his bones restructured, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
Look away——
——I saw something moving on the steep cliffs and rugged cliffs.
Is it Yan Qun?
No...it seems to be a motorcycle?
Three people came over?
Is it VIP...
Damn it... I've become a waste again waiting for someone to save my life...
I am so unwilling...so unwilling...
wrong--
——I can't forget that face!
The person sitting in the back row is Jiang Xueming!
...
...
"Jiang Xueming!" Jason's arm grew back, but the severe nerve pain and burning sensation still remained in his bones. He couldn't hold anything with his hands, and half of his torso was trembling violently.
He was still shouting: "Jiang Xueming!"
Before he finished shouting——
——The two little soldiers from Class 7 grabbed his legs and wanted to drag him to the aid station.
"Jiang Xueming!"
