All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 14: Alien

……

The next day, Tao Yu and the other five formed a team in the jungle. Chen Guan, holding a steel pipe and a machete, walked in the front, followed by Zhang Wei, then Joseph, and then Tao Yu and Wall, who was holding a shotgun and leaving the rest.

In the rainforest environment, only some sunlight shines through the branches and leaves. When you step on the thick dead leaves, you can occasionally see some small insects startled out. There are also quite a few colorful poisonous insects, which are very creepy.

However, normal creatures in the rainforest, including poisonous snakes, would generally be scared away by their group, so they did not encounter any trouble.

Joseph was adjusting the receiving device on the robotic arm on the way. It was obvious that his receiving device was much more powerful than Tao Yu's. He didn't even need to climb a tree to receive the signal.

In addition to the broadcast from the brother and sister in the floating city, he seemed to have contacted another young man in the inner city, and they were close enough to conduct an intercom.

"Vino, I've received four. I'm lucky with the last two. One has [Endurance] D+ and one has [Dynamic Vision] B."

zizi~
After a short electric sound, a somewhat irritable voice came from the other side.

"Bullshit! [Dynamic Vision] B? The peasants from the outer city are lucky to have this talent. Damn, why is my talent only D?"

"Haha, even though your [Rejection Optimization] is only D, its potential is still better than the ordinary B-level talent from the outer city. If he was born in the inner city, he would have a chance to compete with you."

Joseph was obviously gloating at this time.

In the gap between the conversation, he also casually said to Tao Yu next to him
"This guy's awakened talent level is still a bit bad, so be careful not to collide with him when the time comes."

"Thank you, Brother Joseph, for the reminder."

Tao Yu behaved quite well in his attitude and seemed to be very receptive to advice.

But I was a little hesitant at this moment.

Ever since Joseph gave him the "magic medicine", the other party's true face has been completely exposed!
If they were just ordinary people from outside the city, they might not know what threats and harms this kind of thing posed. For example, Zhang Wei was very excited and sincerely grateful.

Now Tao Yu also understands why so many people in the outer city have never had any extra accumulation or savings!

My family is poor, and that's because my parents attach great importance to the day of awakening. Apart from the family's support and their own accelerated maintenance, they also have to pay the rent for the land. If I want to save up this thousand extra units of vows for myself, I'm afraid I'll have to tighten my belt for at least a year.

As for many other families like Zhang Wei, who don't care about life or death and don't give any support, I'm afraid that a lot of their spare money will be lost in the hands of this "happiness"!

Not only does he control the outer city's basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, but even if there is a little surplus, it can all be taken away through "happiness", leaving not a drop behind!
If possible, Tao Yu really wanted to shoot the opponent directly, but after observation, he found that the opponent also had modifications on his head, so he might not be able to hit the target with one shot.

Once you fail, the opponent has an absolute advantage in panel attributes and there is no chance of escape for you.

Leaving alone would also seem abrupt. Not to mention the sense of crisis after experiencing the three snakes attack, it is hard to say whether the other party will let me go. There are also risks to consider if I sneak away.

After comprehensive consideration, they could only endure it for the time being. With the order on the radio, they still wanted to bring more living people from outside the city with them.

Moreover, his B-level talent was more valuable! He was kind enough to give himself "happiness" for free, so he must have his own ideas and demands.

At this moment, a sound came from the other side again after the sizzling sound.
"But since you have four of them, you can come over and discuss with us. Let's destroy those giant python nests and work together to develop a set of skills."

"What? They are just a few flesh-and-blood snakes. Why are you so careful? This is not like your style. Your starting capital should be 100,000, right? Isn't that enough for you to handle it?"

Joseph said with a raised eyebrow.

And his casual words made Tao Yu suddenly feel just as bitter as a lemon.

One hundred thousand units of willpower? Start-up capital?
This gap is too big!
It was already considered good that his parents had squeezed out a thousand wish power units by living frugally. Zhang Wei next to him started with nothing, but this guy had 100,000 wish power units starting on the day of awakening!
Is this the world of rich people?

But then Tao Yu sighed and figured out the problem. The wealth held by those in the inner city must be incomparable to that in the outer city.

A lot of the profits taken away from the outer city must be in their hands. The dangerous experience of entering the abyss for the first time on the day of awakening seemed to give them more willpower at once, so it was normal to quickly get through the weak period.

It's true that my hard-earned money can't compare to other people's pocket money...

"That was in the city before, so what's wrong with being a little crazy? Now that we are entering the abyss for the first time, it is never too careful. Even if you or I are bitten or entangled by that giant snake, it will be a matter of life and death."

Although Weino sounded bad-tempered before, he knew he was not a mere reckless man when he said this.

They were unable to achieve the same qualitative transformation of their skills as Tao Yu himself, and could only quickly enhance their proficiency in various areas and reach a mature bottleneck in a short period of time.

After all, if a hundred thousand wishes are compressed and used rapidly in a short period of time, it should be equivalent to more than 20,000 hours of training according to the physical fitness of ordinary people. If it is extended over time, the effect will be even stronger!

However, as their own strength increases rapidly, this acceleration effect will only become weaker and weaker, and a marginal effect will appear.

In addition, they must have mastered some more advanced skills, so the consumption ratio will be higher. After all, their strength is within the estimated range, and they have surpassed the end point of most people from the outer city, but it does not mean that they can fly into the sky and hide in the ground.

The giant python could kill Tao Yu in seconds, but judging from Joseph’s current condition, if he was successfully ambushed, he would be seriously injured even if he didn’t die.

Thinking of his own talent, Tao Yu quickly felt more balanced.

Then his mind became more active.

It looks like Wino may have found the location of the blood orchid.

But unfortunately, with Joseph and Weino, two guys from the inner city, it is difficult to get the big head. Let's take it one step at a time. If the blood orchid is more hidden, they may not notice this kind of wish-power item...

……

It is difficult to locate in the rainforest, but Joseph and Wino both have short-distance communication equipment. Through some marks along the way and constant communication, they are getting closer and closer.

"I saw the stream you mentioned. Did you light a fire?"

"That's right, come here first, there is an uninhabited primitive village here."

Continuing along the stream, the group's vision suddenly cleared and they saw a thatched house built of branches and dead leaves, and then more and more houses appeared, revealing a village full of primitive style.

It is now noon. There are few trees in the village and the scorching sun is shining down. But even so, you can see a bonfire lit in the center of the village, with black smoke rising straight into the sky.

Next to the campfire was a small pavilion made of branches, with three people sitting inside.

One of them, a burly bald man over two meters tall, attracted Tao Yu's attention.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Tao Yu could see that he had a rather exaggerated inverted triangle body shape, and his body was shining with a metallic luster.

At first glance, Tao Yu thought it was a mechanical modification, but then he found out that it was a full body metal armor!

At this time, he took off his helmet and put it aside. Next to it was a huge double-edged axe, which should be his weapon.

Through the uncovered neck, one can see a kind of raised stratum corneum-like skin, which extends all the way to the bald head. It looks a bit hideous and obviously different from a normal person!

This should be what Joseph called "alienation", choosing to implant some non-human tissues to complete the enhancement.

The implantation surgery had been completed before entering, and after entering, it mainly depended on willpower to quickly adapt to the skills.

There were mechanical arms and other things in the outer city, but Tao Yu had never seen an alien form before.

Even if it may be related to their family's vision, it is enough to show that the number of mutants in the outer city is less than that of mechanical prosthetics.

Perhaps the side effects will be greater and more troublesome, but from the fact that the other party can wear the full body armor as daily equipment without any care, it can also be seen that this can indeed bring a strong physique, a physique that exceeds the limits of the normal human body!
No wonder he wanted to team up with Joseph.

This guy's expertise should be picking up heavy weapons and slashing around, fighting those giant pythons head-on.

The paper data brought by the giant python's exaggerated body size is indeed not very friendly to him. If he takes a gun and shoots, he will be even worse than Tao Yu.

Now combined with Joseph who has long-range attack capabilities, they are indeed completely complementary...

……

When Weino heard the noise behind him, he stopped chatting and turned his head to see a group of people at the entrance of the village.

The two outsiders beside him looked completely different at this time. One of them was dressed in rags, and apart from some red spots caused by poisonous insect bites, there were also obvious signs of beatings on his body.

The other one was much better, although he seemed inconspicuous in front of the two-meter-tall Vino.

But his 1.80-meter height and sturdy figure also made him look very strong. He was wearing a tactical suit, a bulletproof vest and goggles, which was considered top-notch equipment in the outer city.

After seeing the people at the entrance of the village, Li Le also said with a little attentiveness

"Lord Weino, my family used to come from the inner city, so you should just give them 'happiness', hehe~"

"Tsk, what's wrong with the inner city? I'm not using it either. Forget it, it's boring."

Weino rolled his eyes at Li Le and said nothing more, which made Li Le smile apologetically while rolling his eyes in his heart. Of course, you don't mind the enhancement of your mutant body. Maybe you need to rely on this to suppress the feeling of rejection.

He knew what this thing was. Instead of calling it "happiness", it would be better to call it "devil"...
