Life Dungeon Game

When He Ao shouted "beheading," he attacked not the prisoner's forehead, but his neck. At that moment, Jiaxi understood that the real key was the prisoner's neck.

At that time, the man in the prison uniform was still stuck in the preconceived notion that He Ao wanted Jiaxi to cut off his forehead, so he wasn't very wary of the back of his neck, which gave Jiaxi's attack a chance to succeed.

After such a life-or-death battle, Jiaxi suddenly felt that many of the things her grandfather had taught her along the way had suddenly become clear in that instant.

It was like having an epiphany.

The only problem is that she just forcibly used up her internal energy, which has caused her body to be somewhat overdrawn.

As she breathed heavily, she was also constantly drawing energy to restore her depleted strength.

At that moment, He Ao stood beside her, looking up at the layers of buildings above.

I encountered an F-level superhuman on the first floor, an E-level superhuman on the tenth floor, and there are still thirty floors to go.

The Scorpion Gang's setup is pretty high-end.

As he looked up at the buildings above, He Ao also raised the pistol in his hand.

boom--

The bullet grazed the lights on the top floor and struck a man lying prone on the eighteenth floor, who was holding a rifle and attempting to fire.

The figure fell backward and rolled down the corridor.

"Grandpa, I'm feeling much better."

Jiaxi took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked at He Ao.

At this moment, she had recovered much of her previously exhausted strength.

He Ao scanned the energy flow within Jiaxi's body with his divine sense. Jiaxi's recovery speed was faster than he had expected.

"Then shall we continue?"

He looked away, leaning on his cane, and gazed at the stairs at the end of the corridor ahead.

At that moment, new gang members rushed down the stairs.

The staircases in this building don't go straight up; instead, they spiral upwards in alternating patterns.

After going up one floor, you need to walk clockwise for a while along a corridor with a courtyard on one side and closed doors on the other before you can see the staircase leading to the next floor.

.

"it is good!"

Jiaxi also saw the gang members and nodded emphatically.

The two walked forward together toward that flight of stairs.

This time, He Ao didn't walk beside Jiaxi as before, but kept a little distance behind her to give her more room to maneuver.

A gang member wielding a machete glanced at He Ao and Jiaxi, then reached out to grab Jiaxi's cheek.

As Jiaxi shifted her body to the side, a sudden twitch in her calf sent the gang member sprawling forward, lunging at He Ao who was standing behind her.

His machete was also in front of He Ao.

He raised his cane, held it upright in front of his chest, and twisted it to the right. The gang member crashed into the railing and fell straight down.

Meanwhile, Jasmine was already dealing with the second group of gang members who were attacking.

With such skillful coordination, the two moved forward quickly.

Soon, they went up to the ninth floor again, and quickly arrived at the seventeenth floor.

After passing the fifteenth floor, gang members who had undergone mechanical modifications began to appear among the enemies.

These people are armed with powerful firearms or possess very strong mechanical arms.

During their first encounter, Jiaxi suffered a minor setback when she was thrown out by a gang member's powerful mechanical arm and nearly flung out of the corridor.

He Ao, who was behind her, intervened in time and caught the little girl, preventing her from falling.

After this ordeal, Jiaxi was startled, but she quickly calmed down and used her spiked club to break the cyborg's mechanical arm.

After that, Jiaxi was the one who dealt with the melee cyborgs, while Heo dealt with the cyborgs who had firearms in advance.

He had changed guns several times by now, and the one he was holding was the Gauss gun that a cyborg had just been holding.

At this moment, Jiaxi is dealing with a brutal gang member whose entire body has been mechanically modified, making him almost unrecognizable as human.

At this moment, Jiaxi was holding a steel rod, while the cyborg swung its fist, which was made entirely of steel, at her.

There was a bent steel rod on the ground. It was bent when Jasmine used it to block the attack from this cyborg.

Her burst of strength in a short time could deal with the cyborg's attack, but her weapon was inadequate, and her body was more vulnerable.

So after being defeated in a brief confrontation, she began to use her agility to employ a "pigeon-releasing" tactic, gradually destroying the cyborg's body structure.

And she was also guiding this cyborg to continue down the next staircase.

During this process, many gang members who attacked were accidentally injured by this cyborg.

"You brat, you tricked me!"

Just as they were about to reach the stairwell, the cyborg finally couldn't stand being led by the nose by Jiaxi anymore.

A brilliant light flashed from his chest, and then his movements suddenly quickened as he threw a punch at Jiaxi.

At that moment, Jiaxi was standing in front of a window. She wanted to hide, but suddenly realized that the window was not closed properly, and behind the window, a pair of bright little eyes were watching her.

That was someone hiding behind the window.

A child peeking outside.

If Jiaxi were to dodge at that moment, the child would not have time to dodge and would be instantly smashed to pieces by the cyborg.

In that split second, Jasmine made her decision.

She held the steel rod horizontally in front of her, gathering all her strength in her arm.

The moment the fist came crashing down, she shifted her body to the side, used the steel rod to wedge the cyborg's mechanical arm, and forcefully twisted it to the right front.

The concrete ground beneath her feet shattered instantly, and the straight steel rod was bent due to the immense force.

The cyborg was pulled in a different direction by the enormous force, its body spinning several times before crashing into He Ao.

He Ao, who had been preparing to fire, smiled and lowered his gun upon seeing this scene. In an instant, he thrust his cane forward, piercing through the cyborg's energy core, and then tossed him off the building.

boom--

A loud bang echoed through the quiet courtyard. Jiaxi, who was leaning against the window, turned around, looked at the child inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a withered arm suddenly stretched out from the darkness behind the window and tightly protected the child.

In the hazy light, Jasmine only saw a few strands of hair swaying like dry grass before the child by the window was pulled into the hidden darkness.

Jiaxi didn't look inside anymore, but turned her head and took a few deep breaths.

"Well done."

He Ao, leaning on his cane, had already walked to his granddaughter's side, praised her, and continued forward.

"Ok!"

Jiaxi nodded excitedly and followed in her grandfather's footsteps.

This time, He Ao did not let Jiaxi go first, but continued to maintain a close distance between the two.

Shortly after the two left, the window, which had only been slightly ajar, was opened a little more.

Two pairs of eyes peered through the window at the two figures outside in the corridor.

A small walkie-talkie antenna protruded from a crack in the window.

·····20th Floor······

This floor did not encounter any 'gatekeepers' similar to those on the first and tenth floors.

The person guarding the staircase leading to the twenty-first floor was an E-class cyborg.

With Jiaxi's help, He Ao severed his mechanical neck, but just as the two were about to continue upwards, a sharp 'creak' sound of a door opening came from behind them.

He Ao turned his head and looked behind him.

A small door closest to the stairs was opened a crack, and a thin, almost skin and bones man with sparse hair stood behind the crack looking at them.

"Is there a problem?"

He Ao looked at the man.

"You're going uphill?"

The man held a faded object that looked like a small walkie-talkie in one hand, while using the other hand to support himself against the door, and asked cautiously.

"Ah."

He Ao nodded.

"It's dangerous up there."

The man carefully emphasized, "If you want to live, don't go any further."

"Can you tell me what the dangers are?"

He Ao asked.

The man looked at He Ao, and after a brief silence, he continued, "On floors 25 to 27, there is a robot that really enjoys torturing people, and no one can beat him."

He glanced at the corpse on the ground, paused, and continued, "If you get through safely, be careful of 3505 to 3508. No one who goes in there has ever come back."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut, followed by hurried footsteps that faded into the distance, as if he had disappeared into the depths of the house.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and led Jiaxi up the stairs.

Jiaxi glanced back at the closed door, lost in thought.

After the twentieth floor, the doors along the corridor are no longer all closed; some are open, and the higher you go, the more doors are open.

Some weapons were haphazardly placed near the entrance, suggesting that these were the rooms where gang members lived.

Once you get to the 26th floor, none of the rooms are closed; they are all open.

In contrast, there are far fewer ordinary gang members below the 20th floor, while the proportion of people who have undergone mechanical modifications has increased.

Upon arriving at the 27th floor, there were no ordinary gang members on this floor, only a figure standing in the middle of the corridor.
