There was a long silence.
Lin An hesitated for a long time, but finally did not choose to include these books in the ring.
He is afraid.
Afraid that I might not be able to resist opening up the secret of eternal life and walking through that door.
Now that he is still young, he can still resist looking.
If we weren't in the end of the world...
Or waiting for the day when he is about to die of old age.
I'm afraid...I'm afraid I will take the initiative to open these books, and then follow the old professor's path.
Then become that amoeba.
Either eat or be eaten.
..
I don't know how long it took before the group of people got out of the inexplicable emotions.
Gao Tian hesitated and asked Lin An, with a little loss in his eyes.
"Team Lin."
"This floor is already the last floor."
"Although we seem to understand what amoeba means, we feel it has nothing to do with this dungeon mission."
"The way to break the situation..."
"What exactly is it?"
There are still 700 million second-level zombies outside the tower, but there is not much time left for them.
Every corner has been carefully explored.
The entire tower, or the black tower.
There is nothing here but these books.
Are the answers in the book?
But Gao Tian was afraid, afraid that after watching it, he would be like a memetic curse and become the next old professor.
Lin An was speechless for a moment.
indeed.
He and others rushed into the tower with all their might, but still couldn't find a way to break the situation.
"It can't be said that nothing was gained."
"At least we've figured out why zombies become stronger."
"As expected, according to the records, plane inspectors have discovered abnormalities here many times."
"It's not bad that the old professor appeared once or twice."
"Although it is only recorded three times in the notes, a long, long time has passed since this group of people established the continent."
"Therefore, the event of using the properties of amoeba to achieve immortality must have happened more than three times."
"Combined above."
"The tower is abandoned, which means that the main force that built the tower has discovered the dangers of using amoeba to live forever."
"No matter how many new researchers come here, they all end up being one person."
"And the last batch of immortals are most likely [improved] amoebas."
"They may want to create new ways of immortality."
"Maybe want to fight the Plane Patrollers."
"For example, you can gain memory and strength without eating the other person, or you can only eat part of it."
"The zombies in this world should be the product of combining amoeba, so they can gain strength, memory, or everything else by absorbing the dead bodies of their own kind."
"Swallow...become stronger collectively..."
"From this point as a breakthrough, we should be able to find a way to break the situation..."
Before Lin An could finish speaking, a metallic sound like a mechanical creation suddenly sounded:
"Don't think about it anymore."
"The amoeba in this world has no solution."
"sulfuric acid!"
The sword is unsheathed and the bow and arrow are unstrung.
Almost at the same time, Lin An and the others turned around suddenly and pointed their weapons at the source of the words.
Someone!
Or a machine?
The alloy long sword that was pulled out of its scabbard for the first time glowed with three meters of sword light, and made a terrifying tearing sound.
Extreme sense of danger.
Lin An's eyes were fixed on the figure appearing from the entrance.
Under his mental perception, this sudden sound had no fluctuations, as if it were air.
"Who are you!?"
A sharp shout.
Zhang Tie instantly transformed into a giant silver bear, with red light flashing all over his body, ready to rush forward at any time.
The man in front of him was wearing a brown cloak and was about the size of a normal human being.
The face hidden under the cloak looks no different from a human being.
The situation is tense.
After a brief pause, the man opened his cloak and looked at Lin An and others indifferently:
"It doesn't matter who I am."
"I'm just curious, who are you?"
"This plane has been sealed. How did you get in?"
Like a machine speaking.
Although it looks like a body of flesh and blood, the sound is like an electronic synthesized sound.
Lin An did not answer.
The system stipulates that the identity of oneself and others is not allowed to be revealed. If one reveals it, they will be wiped out by the system in an instant.
It hasn't been long since Huang Shaohua was punished by the system. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to violate the rules.
What's more, the mysterious man in front of him revealed too much information.
Plane?
Closed?
There were too many questions, and Lin An did not choose to relax his vigilance when facing the sword in his hand.
Although the mysterious man appeared strangely, he didn't do anything secretly, so it didn't look like he had any malicious intent.
However, we have to guard against:
"It doesn't matter who we are."
"But why do you say there is no solution for amoeba?"
"Are you the owner of the tower? Or a researcher left behind?"
The cloaked man chuckled, a strange smile on his face.
Seeing this smile, Lin An inexplicably thought of someone.
This man's smile looked like Chu An's smile, also so stiff.
After being slightly stunned, the man in the cloak replied nonchalantly:
"never mind."
"It looks like you've already read the notes."
"I am a researcher at the Black Tower, Klein."
"I listened to your speculation, and it's pretty good. At least it restores a lot of the truth."
"As for the amoeba?"
Klein's eyes flashed with ridicule, then he tilted his head and looked at Lin An:
"The sword can be put away. It's useless if you kill me."
"Haven't you experienced the power of amoeba?"
"The zombies and humans outside the black tower are actually part of the amoeba."
"Unless you can kill everything in an instant, the amoeba will only get stronger."
"If one dies, all the zombies will become stronger."
"Well, it seems that you have strengthened the amoeba to the second level. It should be said that it is the second-level intermediate level."
"With your strength, give up..."
Not human?
Everyone is an amoeba! ?
After Gao Tian heard this, the compound bow in his hand shook, and he couldn't help shouting:
"impossible!"
"I've seen pictures of amoebas. The humans and zombies outside are obviously the same creatures as us!"
Unexpected.
Klein looked at Gao Tian as if he were an idiot:
"Can you ask such a question..."
"It seems that you haven't mastered the ability of genetic suturing yet."
"Those things outside have been sewn with amoeba genes."
"As improved breeds, they possess both memetic and biometric properties."
"He looks like a human on the outside, but he's just a bug on the inside..."
"Haven't you ever come into contact with them? Whether they transform into zombies or not, they like to cannibalize their own kind."
Lin An's heart skipped a beat, and pictures flashed through his mind.
Insect-eating Lin Ruolan, Polaka auction, soup ingredients, high-ranking nobles who have lost their humanity...
All...
insect! ?
Is that why they act so crazy?
While Lin An was in shock, Klein stared at the black dragon on his wrist with interest:
"Are you explorers of the abyss world?"
"That's not right. The abyss world is also a good plane. How come you lack this basic knowledge?"
"But it doesn't matter."
"I smell the aura of doomsday on you. Anyway, you should not be from the doomsday maker..."
Klein said a bunch of nouns that Lin An had never heard of, and then shrugged.
Compared to Chu An, he feels a little more human.
Although stiff, there is a lot more emotion.
"The boy who signed the contract with the black dragon, are you interested in staying here with me?"
"You can't go anywhere anyway..."
"Oh, let me introduce you."
"I am a senior apprentice in the wizarding world, a plane researcher affiliated with Sanctuary No. 97, Klein."
"This world is a man-made disaster, and it may not be the same as the disasters you will encounter in the apocalypse."
"so."
"give up..."
"It won't give you a way out."
In an instant.
Cold all over.
Lin An suddenly realized what he had overlooked all this time.
