Life Dungeon Game

"Grandpa, where are we going next?"

Jiaxi sat in the passenger seat, looking at He Ao, and asked with some doubt.

A pale light appeared on the horizon of the dim sky, and dawn had quietly arrived as night faded away.

"Go to a place in the south of the city where you can practice breathing exercises for a while."

He started the SUV and connected the wristband to it, speaking to Jiaxi.

"it is good."

Jiaxi nodded.

At this moment, He Ao also started the off-road vehicle.

The SUV was a gift from the Scorpion Gang to He Ao, along with the Gauss gun that Jiaxi had, and a box of bullets.

He was not good at refusing other people's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to accept these things.

This off-road vehicle is in very good condition, unlike the typical gang-owned modified off-road vehicles with holes on all four sides.

The car bears the Evis Space System logo, boasts an advanced infotainment system, a smooth chassis with excellent shock absorption, and clear road feedback. In addition to being powered by a battery pack, it can also be powered by a liquid fuel cell.

This vehicle was likely designed with the purpose of traversing the wilderness in mind from the outset; it appears to be a dedicated military off-road vehicle.

The roads in the southern part of the city are in terrible condition. This kind of off-road vehicle can greatly improve the driving experience and reduce the discomfort of riding on bad roads.

However, after the car's infotainment system was connected to the wristband, He Ao was no longer controlling the car; Eve was now driving it.

The vehicle slowly started moving, and Jiaxi, sitting in the passenger seat, obediently listened to her grandfather and began her cultivation.

He Ao closed his eyes slightly, absorbing the energy in the air while resting.

The fatigue from the recent battle gradually faded away as he cultivated.

His physical fitness level gradually improved from 9 to 10.

He Ao glanced at Jiaxi beside him.

The little girl had her eyes closed and was practicing her breathing. Then, as she continued practicing, her head tilted towards the car door and rested against the soft lining of the door, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.

Her breathing was even, and she occasionally twitched the tip of her nose.

For He Ao, who is used to spiritual practice and has a strong soul, whether he sleeps at night or not doesn't really matter; the state of spiritual practice can help him relieve some of his fatigue.

But Jiaxi is just a child. Even though she has a very strong physique, she will be tired and exhausted after tonight's fierce battle. She also stayed up all night the night before last.

He Ao stared at the girl beside him.

Jiaxi's obedient and sensible behavior throughout the journey made him almost forget that she was a little girl who was not even ten years old and had stayed up for two nights in a row.

He took off his coat, shook it out, and gently covered his granddaughter with it.

Then he looked up at the road ahead.

The light of dawn streamed in from the high sky, filtering through the gaps between the buildings like shimmering ribbons of light sweeping across the SUV.

"Search complete. A total of 1337 black market task information items and 372 bracelet files were found. The black market system is now closed. Live organisms..."

The authentication failed. Three test messages were sent to 'Cut Shadow' via black market software, but none were delivered. It is suspected that the black market friend has been unilaterally deleted.

At the same time, Eve's voice rang in Heo's ears.

Is it acceptable to unilaterally delete someone as a friend?

"Did you find any information about the Shadow Cutter or the Evolutionary Follower?"

He Ao lowered his voice and asked softly.

"No tasks posted by the Shadow Cutter were found in the quest postings for level 3 and below, nor was any information related to the Shadow Cutter or Evolutionary Follower found."

"Ok?"

He Ao was slightly taken aback.

Based on what he currently understands, the black market is an important channel for the Shadow Creators and the Evolutionary to develop 'partners'.

In this situation where no information can be retrieved, either the evolutionary entity has stopped using the black market to develop 'collaborators,' or it has used other, more covert methods to conceal its own information.

Will there be any clues in the bracelet left behind by the leader of the Viper Gang?

After a moment's thought, He Ao continued, "What are the contents of the more than three hundred documents in that bracelet?"

"37% of the documents are related to Evolutionary Followers, including transaction documents between the Poison Scorpion Gang and Evolutionary Followers, as well as investigation documents from the Poison Scorpion Gang regarding Evolutionary Followers."

"21% of the documents are internal structural documents of the Poison Scorpion Gang, including the preferences and weaknesses of the leaders of various factions, and the relationships between the leaders of different factions, etc."

"42% of the documents are records of things that the Kegete Group has commissioned the Scorpion Gang to do over the years."

"Documents related to the Kegete Grain Group were placed in an encrypted manner, but after testing, it was found that the password was the reverse of the bracelet's unlock password, and the sorting method changed from year-month-day to day-month-year."

"After declassification and retrieval, documents were found including those related to the assassination of members of parliament, the assassination of agricultural employee leaders, the assassination of mayoral candidates, the manipulation of forced voting in Green Olive Street, the organization of 'opposition' demonstrations, and the assassination of march leaders."

Upon hearing Eve's words, Heo rubbed his temples.

It seems the leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang has left himself a 'big gift'.

These documents, which record various events, can all be described using a traditional term: 'black ledger'.

Theoretically, these documents shouldn't have been kept, but the Scorpion Gang leader, acting as a "black glove," deliberately preserved them to blackmail the trading parties in order to avoid being "purged" one day.

These documents and materials can play a significant role at crucial moments.

This guy genuinely believed that Heo would turn the city upside down and wanted to help him out.

He has no loyalty or trust in either Evolution or the Kegete Group.

What he probably wants to do is drag both of them down with him to his grave.

It's a bit crazy, but it makes sense.

He Ao rubbed his temples.

This guy might have gone crazy long ago.

He Ao snapped out of his reverie and continued the previous topic, "In those documents related to the Evolutionary Ones, is there any information about how they contacted the outside world?"

"Based on the information recorded in the documents,"

Eve said softly,

"The Shadow Cutters and the Evolutionary Followers' connections with the Poison Scorpion Gang are all one-way. They will contact the Shadow Cutters through a homeless child or a passerby just before the transaction is about to take place."

The man found the Scorpion Gang and agreed on a new meeting place and terms of the transaction.

"The transaction location is different each time, and the people involved are also different, so the Poison Scorpion Gang can't find their fixed location and fixed personnel."

"However, the Poison Scorpion Gang conducted an in-depth investigation into the behavior of the Evolutionary Followers and found many people who were suspected of having ties with the Polluted Monsters."

"Ultimately, it was discovered that the Evolutionary Ones liked to post 'kidnapping missions' on the black market to recruit 'new members.' Those who accepted the kidnapping missions would undergo their assessment, gradually getting to know them until they were confirmed to be suitable to become new members."

"In other words, those who accept these kidnapping missions may have the opportunity to come into contact with members of the Evolutionary Path?"

After a moment's thought, He Ao continued, "Does the file contain information about the accounts that posted these kidnapping missions?"

“Yes, but most accounts cannot be found,” Eve continued. “Currently, there is only one account with the nickname ‘Blood Wolf’ posting a kidnapping mission on the black market. The mission level is lv2. Do you want to use the ‘Night Listener’ account to accept the mission?”

"Message him privately first and ask about the mission details."

He Ao nodded slightly.

You must first contact the seller privately to confirm the details of the task and the payment method before you can accept the task.

Detailed communication can also yield some useful information.

"Ok."

Eve answered.

The world fell silent once again.

He Ao turned his head and glanced at Jiaxi, who was sleeping soundly beside him with her chubby little face, and smiled gently.

At that moment, the SUV slowly came to a stop.

The car was parked in front of a somewhat dilapidated little door.

He Ao removed the bracelet, quietly got out of the car, had Eve switch the autopilot to remote control of the car's infotainment system, then carefully closed the car door, took the two superhuman corpses from the trunk, and stood in front of the small door.

A faint light wafted out from behind the door; the lights inside were on, and the people inside were probably still awake.

He Ao raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

After a brief pause, the door opened.

A man with a goatee and round-framed glasses appeared in He Ao's field of vision.

He puffed on his pipe, staring at He Ao. "Still alive?"

This is the underground doctor who previously asked He Ao to buy adrenaline from him.

"Good luck."

He responded calmly.

He threw the bag in his hand on the ground. "One is an E-grade, and the other is an F-grade."

"what do you want?"

The underground doctor glanced down at the blood-stained package on the ground, then looked up, his gaze sweeping over Jiaxi, who was fast asleep by the window in the passenger seat. He raised his hand and pressed a button behind the door.

A roller shutter door next to the small door slowly rose, revealing a spacious garage where a red sports car was parked.

"Drive the car in; this area isn't safe."

The underground doctor took a puff of his cigarette and slowly added.

He Ao looked at him and chuckled, then raised his wristband and had Eve drive the car into the garage.

As the SUV drove fully into the garage, the roller shutter door closed again. He Ao turned around and looked at the underground doctor, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

"You're such a stingy old man, it's annoying, but your little granddaughter is quite lovable,"

The underground doctor turned around, "Come in and let's talk."

Let's go. ”

He still remembered the time when He Ao tried to negotiate a lower price for adrenaline.
