Life Dungeon Game

He Ao stopped and looked at him.

"fine,"

Ye Yun withdrew his gaze. "I was just wondering what terrible thing happened on this spaceship. Judging from the use of supernatural power shown in the ruins, there might have been powerful superhumans on this spaceship, but they didn't seem to be able to stop this disaster."

"That's why the research institute explores ancient ruins."

He Ao turned his head away and continued forward.

"Right."

Ye Yun nodded, pulling himself out of his thoughts and continuing to follow He Ao's footsteps. Then he smiled and said, "He Ao, you don't seem afraid at all."

He Ao looked up and glanced at the silent darkness around him. "Maybe it's because I have a lot of friends."

As they descended, the surrounding pollution became increasingly intense.

However, it's not powerful enough to interfere with C-level consciousness.

To what extent.

Soon, after passing several staircases and turning corners, a half-open iron door came into view, and the footprints in front of them disappeared behind the iron door.

He Ao stopped and shone his flashlight around.

Amidst the mottled bloodstains, he spotted a half-fallen sign on the wall, depicting what appeared to be a rail vehicle.

"It seems like Iver went in from this side."

Ye Yunmao stood at the doorway, cautiously peering into the darkness behind it. "I feel like there's something behind this door."

Just as he was speaking, a blood-stained face fell from above and suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"what!"

He was startled and swung his broadsword forward to cleave.

With a splatter of blood, the object in front of him split in two.

"what is this?"

Only then did he have time to look at the things he had cut down on the ground.

"It looks like a bat."

He Ao walked over and looked at the corpse on the ground.

It was a giant bat that was about 1.78 meters tall, but unlike ordinary bats, this bat had a bloodstained human face with wide-open, terrified eyes on its head.

"This thing isn't very strong, probably only D-rank," Ye Yun glanced at his feet, recovering from the shock, "but it does look a bit scary."

Then he glanced behind the door and said, "It seems to be a very large hall inside."

"bad news."

He Ao walked up to Ye Yun.

"what?"

Ye Yun looked at He Ao.

"Bats are social animals, often gathering in groups of hundreds or thousands."

He Ao said slowly.

"what!?"

Ye Yun was taken aback.

In that instant, in the dim light of the flashlights, one blood-stained face after another appeared in the dark hall.

"Fuck!"

Ye Yun was startled and drew his broadsword, rushing into the darkness ahead. "The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on!"

He roared, swung his broadsword, and killed them one by one, blood splattering everywhere and bat limbs scattered.

He Ao: ?

Is it that powerful?

He rushed into the hall.

However, compared to Ye Yun's wild sword dance, his movements were much simpler. Basically, the moment the human-faced bat rushed over, he raised his sword and shattered the bat.

Alternatively, one could unleash a sword flourish, simultaneously slicing through several surrounding bats, striving to maintain both power and rhythm.

However, he also discovered that these human-faced bats also have the photophobia of ordinary bats.

Therefore, shining a flashlight can effectively drive away some bats.

However, they will also incite their companions to block the flashlight beam, so this method is not particularly effective.

He Ao's figure spun in the darkness, constantly changing the direction of his flashlight. Soon, he spotted a brightly lit passage in the distance.

In the entire hall, only one passageway was dimly lit, and there were no bats around.

He Ao moved to Ye Yun's side.

At this moment, Ye Yun was still wielding his sword and killing indiscriminately.

His fighting style has become largely based on instinctive combat skills, and has become somewhat disorganized.

"That way!"

He walked to his side and pointed with his flashlight.

He pointed to the lit passageway and shouted loudly.

This time, Ye Yun understood He Ao's shout. Without any hesitation, he followed behind He Ao, and the two moved quickly through the swarm of bats, running towards the passage.

Along the way, they encountered many metallic skeletons, suggesting that these bats made their living by hunting other monsters.

As they fled, the bats seemed to sense their intentions and began to swarm in frantically.

Several times, there were so many of them that they even grabbed Ye Yun's arm and lifted him up.

Then it was shredded by Ye Yun's frenzied blade.

It took the two of them quite a while to break free from the swarm of bats and enter the brightly lit passage.

Upon touching the light of the passage, the dense swarm of bats in the darkness quickly retreated, circling around the passage and watching the two through the hazy darkness.

"Ugh! I hate bats the most."

Ye Yun leaned against the wall, then collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Most of his clothes were torn and hung tattered on his body.

He'ao was in better condition because he controlled the pace of the fight better, but his clothes were also torn in several places.

"eat something?"

He Ao took out a compressed biscuit and a solid energy bar from his food bag.

"No need, I have some with me."

Ye Yun smiled and took out his compressed biscuits, water, and canned meat from his pocket.

The food pack is made of a much tougher material than clothing, precisely to prevent close-quarters combat.

The two also took out the self-heating food packets they had in their bags and ate them.

They've been here for so long and are exhausted; this is the first time they've eaten anything.

After quickly finishing their meal, the two tidied up and looked at the passageway they were in.

This passage was different from the ones they had taken before; it was a crossroads. Apart from the entrance they were now standing at, there were three forks in the road in front of them, and there were no more of Iver's footprints on the ground, as if they had been deliberately erased.

"Which way are we going?"

Ye Yun leaned on his knife and looked at the fork in the road at the entrance.

He Ao walked to the three forks in the road.

I shone a flashlight on the ground.

To avoid revealing his tracks, Iver did not alter anything at the three forks in the road, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"Could this guy have taken another route?"

Ye Yun looked around and found that there were indeed no traces left.

"He must have gotten in without leaving a trace through some means, but he definitely did get in."

He Ao had carefully observed his surroundings during the battle and noticed traces of fighting in the dark hall.

Iver was not spared from the bats' entanglement either.

And this is the only brightly lit passage in the vicinity that can scare away bats.

He held up his flashlight and walked to the fork in the road.

There were no signs on the walls of these three forks in the road.

He shone his flashlight into the depths of the fork in the road, and soon he found something in the fork on the left. He went in, squatted down, and picked up a piece of iron plate that had lost most of its color in a deeper part of the fork.

"This is?"

Ye Yun looked at the iron plaque, and on the iron plaque...

The patterns and text are blurred, but traces of a railcar pattern can still be vaguely seen.

"It looks like a sign for some kind of subway or tram."

He Ao compared the iron plate in his hand to the wall at the entrance of the left fork in the road, where there was a faint mark that seemed to be used to embed the iron plate.

"Is he looking for a tram?"

Ye Yun instantly realized what was happening. He clapped his hands. "Right, this area we're in now, although it's also a core area, actually corresponds to the outer ring-shaped compartments. Theoretically speaking, the functions of this area aren't much different from those of the outer ring-shaped compartments. There won't be any core control systems here."

"If Ivel wants to gain control of this spaceship, he'll definitely try to get into the core control room or something similar. If he goes there by foot, he'll certainly encounter all sorts of monsters blocking his way. But with the tram, it's a different story..."

"Given the length and number of sections of this spaceship, it's quite normal to have a tramway running through the core area to facilitate the crew's movement."

He paused for a moment, then looked at He Ao. "He wants to use the tram to get into a more central area!"

"Ah."
