Life Dungeon Game

Their situation is perhaps worse than that of livestock; they are 'feed'.

He Ao lifted his foot and walked forward.

A huge robotic arm is fixed to the ceiling of the entire feed room, with a safety guard at its end.

The platform of the column.

This appears to be the elevator to this feed shed.

With its special robotic arm structure and the space reserved for its movement, this robotic arm can reach any of the iron cages in the room.

At that moment, the gaunt man manipulated the mechanical arm of the elevator to stop in front of him.

Amidst the noise of the massive robotic arm, he seemed to still hear the door open. He didn't turn around, but instead, while operating the tablet in his hand, asked with some confusion,

"Didn't you say you were going to take a nap? Why did you come along?"

He chuckled. "Are you going to help me out, or are you planning to sneak a bite?"

A sticky tentacle emerged from his collar, reached towards the iron cage beside him, passed through the gaps in the cage, and landed on the head of a child inside.

It was a little boy who looked only seven or eight years old. He was huddled in the corner of the iron cage, looking up at the tentacle with fear.

The tentacle circled the child once. "Look at this child, how tender his flesh is. I can even feel the freshness of his soul. There are only seventy-odd feeders left here. We can feed him for another week or so at most."

The skinny man tapped a few times on the e-reader in his hand. "Brother, I know you're in a hurry, but you can't sneak food now. When we bring them back to feed us, we can tear off some arms and legs beforehand. Wouldn't that be great? Although they might scream horribly then, as long as we cut off their tongues beforehand, they'll only be able to scream 'ah ah ah'."

"Besides, it wasn't easy to get caught stealing food back then. If you eat now and the boss finds out, we're doomed."

At this moment, He Ao had already walked up behind the man. Leaning on his cane, he looked at the man and calmly said,

"I'm in no hurry."

There will be another chapter later

Chapter 676 Put Him Down (Two Chapters, 8,000 Words, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing He Ao's aged voice, the gaunt man paused abruptly, gripped his tablet, and turned around abruptly.

The tentacles that had been reaching into the cage suddenly retracted and flung towards He Ao.

"Who are you?! Ugh—"

The next second, his words were stuck in his mouth, leaving only the muffled gurgling sound of bubbles passing through his blood.

He Ao stood behind the man, his arm reaching over the man's right shoulder, and a sharp butterfly knife pierced the man's neck, severing his trachea and artery almost simultaneously.

Blood splattered in the dim light, splashing onto the iron cage that was already covered in dark bloodstains.

The tentacles that had been flying through the air drooped limply.

He released his grip and pulled out the butterfly knife.

The man's stiff body fell to the side and landed on the ground, hidden beneath the robotic elevator arm.

He looked up at the camera at the top of the feed shed. He had walked all the way through the camera's blind spots, and when he made his move, he also dragged the skinny man into the blind spot.

The cameras in the entire feed room are mainly aimed at the iron cage walls, and almost none of them are aimed at the aisle area against the wall, which results in a large blind spot in this area.

It seems that the main defense against evolution is still the escape of 'feed'.

After dealing with the skinny man, He Ao steadied his cane, placed it on the ground, took out a handkerchief from his inner pocket, wiped the blood off his hands and the butterfly knife, and put the butterfly knife back in his inner pocket.

At the same time, he crouched down and took the e-reader tablet from the man's hand.

At this moment, the e-reader tablet is displaying a list of individuals.

He Ao glanced at the list.

This list includes the cage number of each person locked up here, as well as where they came from. Some were homeless people caught on the street, while others came from the Green Olive neighborhood.

The people on this list are mainly homeless people from the North and South of the city, with only a very small number coming from the Green Olive neighborhood.

It seems that most of the people 'traded' out by the Scorpion Gang were sent to the 'West City' that the two zookeepers just mentioned.

In the West City, it seems that Evolutionary Legion has another base, and one that is even larger than this one.

He also spotted a familiar name on the list: 'Sant'.

This is the wanderer that 'Blood Wolf' used as an 'example' for him.

When Blood Wolf spoke to him, he told him that this Sant was nowhere to be found.

At that time, He deduced that Sant had most likely been arrested.

However, it is clear that he is lucky to be alive.

The people on the list that He Ao is currently seeing are all still in this 'feed room'.

He glanced at the notes after Sant's information. Sant had been "added" to the database about two weeks ago, and the "feeding time" noted in the list was tonight.

It looks like he'll probably be fed to the 'livestock' in the breeding shed tonight.

If He Ao had come a day later, he wouldn't have seen him.

Following the numbers indicated on the list, He found the cage where Sant was located; he was in the innermost cage on the third layer of the first row.

He was curled up in the cage, staring blankly at He Ao.

His eyes held a mixture of confusion and excitement.

This list shows that Sant was the first of the surviving people to be arrested. Watching those who had entered before him being 'taken away' one by one, he must have had some idea of ​​his own fate.

Although the people locked up here are labeled as 'feed,' they also have their own fears, confusion, and hopes.

He continued scrolling down, trying to find an earlier list that had already been 'fed', but he found nothing; the list only contained people who were still alive.

He examined the e-reader closely, but there were no federal-standard data transmission ports around it.

It seems that this e-reader was only used as a wireless display, and the list displayed on it was a screen transmitted from a host on the internal network.

He Ao tried to access the e-reader's settings interface, but was prompted to use a password.

Without a data connection, there's no way for Eve to attempt brute-force or bypass the password.

He Ao could also disassemble the e-reader, wire it up so Eve could copy data into it, and then use the e-reader's connection to the intranet to infiltrate the intranet.

But that's too time-consuming.

He Ao put down the tablet in his hand and picked up the blood-stained employee badge that had fallen out of the skinny man's pocket.

He gripped his cane again, braced himself, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The two enemies he just encountered were a skinny man who was roughly F-rank, and a receptionist who was stronger, close to E-rank.

His current physical attributes are only close to 11, and in his explosive state, combined with energy mobilization, he can barely exert F-level power.

His advantage lies in his ability to pinpoint weaknesses with his divine sense, and his sharp butterfly knife can deliver a fatal blow.

Therefore, he basically only has one chance to make a move. If the move fails and he is dragged into a war of attrition by the enemy, he will have to activate his hyper-memory to deal with it.

This aged body cannot withstand further strain.

In the two battles just now, he used tricks. He took advantage of the receptionist's lowered guard when dealing with her, and he got close enough to deal with the skinny man.

Even so, after these two explosive battles, his body was still somewhat exhausted.

Those in the cages were still in shock from the battle that had just broken out, but the little boy who had just been surrounded by the skinny man's tentacles seemed to have figured something out.

He walked over cautiously, the iron chain around his neck suddenly tightening. Then, his thin hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of something wrapped in a strip of cloth. He carefully unwrapped the cloth, revealing clean bread inside.

He reached his hand out of the iron cage and carefully offered it to He Ao.

"I'm not hungry,"

He Ao smiled and shook his head. He looked up at the iron cages around him, then raised his wristband to check the time before turning his gaze back to the little boy. "You may have to wait a while."

The little boy looked at him, seemingly understanding but not quite, then nodded and took the bread back from his hand.

He Ao leaned on his cane and retraced his steps, quickly returning to the entrance of the 'feed room'.

However, he paused before opening the door, his gaze falling on the smear mixed in with the torture instruments that had entered the room.

Blood on the rusty steel pipe.

He noticed that the steel rod looked familiar as soon as he entered the room.

He raised his bracelet and opened the photo of Sant that 'Blood Wolf' had sent him.

In the photo, Sant is standing on a steel pipe.

And this steel pipe, which is considered a 'torture device,' seems to be the same one that Sant once owned. The people who captured him brought the steel pipe back with him, and it was eventually left here to be used as a torture device.

He Ao thoughtfully withdrew his gaze and opened the door to the room.

Next up is the main control room.

The moment He Ao left the room, he heard a very faint telephone ring.

The sound of the bell seemed to originate from the direction he had just come from.

There should only be one person in that direction.

The 'front desk' who has already died.

Someone is calling the front desk, trying to contact them.

It seems someone has already discovered the receptionist's disappearance.

Evolution seems to be more alert than Heo predicted.

Upon hearing the ringing, He Ao crossed the corridor directly along the blind spot of the cameras and arrived at the front of the control room.

He then quickly swiped the swipe to open the door to the control room and went inside.

There are no blind spots for cameras in front of the main control room, but the cameras used in the corridor are not high-definition cameras. When He Ao passed by quickly with his face turned to the side, the cameras had difficulty capturing He Ao's face and could not activate the facial recognition program. They could only display a blurry image of a person passing by.

This will still trigger an alarm, but it won't be a high-level alarm. An operator needs to open and review it repeatedly before deciding whether to sound the alarm.

There's a time difference here, and that's He Ao's time.

The people of the Evolutionary Path don't seem very willing to invest in electronic things. Of course, it's also possible that they were cheated by unscrupulous outsourcing companies because they don't understand them.

However, this made things convenient for He Ao.
