Life Dungeon Game

On the other side, we're almost at the edge of the commercial district; it's unlikely to come this way.

"Those 'sheep demons,' they never used to come to your settlement before?"

He suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Um,"

Kalin nodded. "Before today, our settlement was very safe. Almost no monsters came here, and there weren't even any vines."

"I see,"

He Ao glanced back at the boar on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Can your machine process the meat from this boar?"

"It should be possible,"

Kalin glanced at the pig. "The outer skin of this powerful monster has a relatively mild 'toxicity' and can be transformed."

This pig is so big, even just the outer layer of meat could yield several hundred pounds.

Then He Ao looked up at the dark intersection ahead and asked again, "Is the elevator behind that corridor?"

"Just keep going until the end."

Kalin followed Heo's gaze and nodded.

"If we get to the second floor, how do we get to the third floor via the stairs?"

He Ao asked.

"After exiting the building or elevator, turn right. There is a small corridor. Walk straight, and after passing a half-open gate, you will see the staircase leading to the third floor."

Karin replied after some thought.

"Thanks a lot,"

He Ao spoke slowly, glancing at the boar carcass on the ground. "This meat should be enough for you to eat for a while. Let's part ways here. We can walk the rest of the way on our own."

Kalin opened his mouth as if to say something, but Heo interrupted him and continued, "Some kind of change is happening inside the 'underground palace.' The survivors need you more than I do. Go back and close the gate, wait quietly, and don't open it for anything. If I find a way back, I will come back to find you."

Finally, Kalin nodded slightly, "Okay, the second and third floors are very dangerous. Be careful when you go down."

"We will. Please be careful on your way back."

He Ao nodded slightly.

At this moment, Fia also came over and stood next to He Ao.

The two groups then parted ways.

Heo and Fia walked together into the dark corridor, while Karin and the others stayed behind to cut the flesh of the porcupine.

Sometimes, I even wonder if you're human.

As Fia walked beside He Ao, accompanied by the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground, she murmured a sigh.

"How to say?"

He Ao looked at her with some confusion.

"When you made your move, I could barely catch it. We're both C-level, isn't the difference a bit too great?"

Fia sighed softly.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Kalin and the others only thought that He Ao was really awesome. They hadn't gone too far in terms of extraordinary understanding, so they were only surprised and impressed.

Fia has already gone very far on the path of transcendence, and can almost be considered one of the groups of people who have gone the furthest on the path of transcendence in the main world.

That's why she was able to perceive He Ao's true strength.

The simple act of drawing and throwing the sword just now seemed to contain the ultimate truth of the world; everything was natural and seamless, without any sense of abruptness, just like the setting moon.

As the sun rises and the seasons change, everything seems to be as it should be.

The more she understood this power, the more she realized just how vast the gap was between her C-rank and He Ao's C-rank.

"I am indeed only slightly stronger than a regular C-rank, and these things are not difficult."

He Ao shrugged.

"There's a universe within your little bit, isn't there?"

Fia widened her eyes slightly.

At that moment, she saw He Ao turn around and glance behind him at the survivors who were standing in the dim light, quickly peeling flesh.

"what happened?"

Fia asked in a low voice.

"They are very lucky."

Gazing at those figures, He Ao sighed softly.

If the 'survivors' who initially stayed in the settlement did not leave for their own reasons, then what were the reasons that ultimately led to their 'disappearance' or even 'death'?

If the reason that ultimately led to the departure of the settlement's 'survivors' was some external factor, then why did this external factor not have any effect on these survivors?

Although the settlement's 'gate' was very sturdy, it couldn't withstand the repeated attacks of a powerful C-rank monster like the Sheep Demon. So why didn't any powerful monsters appear outside the settlement's gate during the long year?

Is the first level of the underground palace really the safest level?

If one can survive in any settlement, why did almost none of the extraordinary individuals who were brought into the underground palace through the relic passage survive?

He Ao withdrew his gaze and turned to walk deeper into the corridor.

He still had many questions in his mind, but for the time being, staying in the settlement was the best option for these survivors.

The external factors that led to the disappearance of the original settlement's 'remnants' did not enter the settlement to kill.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that the dangerous factors that were originally entrenched on the first level might no longer be on the first level.

Fiya, who was standing behind, glanced at He Ao's figure gradually disappearing into the darkness and quickly followed after him.

I'm recommending a friend's new book, "Worship the Electronic Matchmaker, Talk About Cyber ​​Romance," a romance simulator novel with a very interesting (humorous) plot.

Chapter 734 Bewitching Whispers (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Newland City-State Core Island

"What? Someone opened the door and went out into the street?"

Kodo stared blankly at the walkie-talkie in his hand. "How many people are there? Where are they? Why are they ignoring warnings and going out into the streets?"

“There are a lot of people,” came the reply over the walkie-talkie, accompanied by a hissing noise. “They’re in every block of the five islands. I don’t know how they got out on the streets. We’re having the military police persuade them to go back.”

Kodo looked up, leaned against the window, and glanced outside. Sure enough, he saw several figures wandering outside the building.

Did you ask them why they suddenly went out on the street?

Chen Lin, who was standing nearby, suddenly leaned over and asked into the walkie-talkie.

There seemed to be a pause on the other end of the walkie-talkie, then the volume decreased, as if the person giving the report had started running. Then there was hushed conversation, and after a while, a breathless reply came from the other end.

"I just asked around, and most of the people who came out said they heard their missing relatives calling out, or saw their lost pets outside their doors."

"Missing relatives and pets?"

Kodo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes,"

The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie replied, "That's what they said."

After a moment of thought, Chen Lin whispered, "Perhaps it's related to those disappearances orchestrated by West."

"But this time it's not West..."

Kodo subconsciously replied, but he quickly realized that West's situation might not be unrelated to what they were experiencing now.

So he picked up the walkie-talkie and began asking other important questions, "Has anyone entered the world on the other side of the door because they opened it?"

There was a pause on the walkie-talkie, as if they were asking a question. After a while, they replied, "The military police said that some people have reported missing persons, saying that their family members disappeared as soon as they left the house, while some people have no one at home. It seems that many people are missing, but it's too chaotic here right now, and they haven't been able to count the exact number of missing persons yet."

"Have them prioritize persuading those who are out on the streets to go home," Kodo quickly ordered. "These people are easily attacked by the monsters roaming the streets, and it will hinder our monster-clearing operations."

"Ok!"

The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie nodded.

Kodo cut off the communication, looked up at Chen Lin, and said with some annoyance, "It looks like some kind of strange creature or strange object is 'bewitching' people who are staying at home to go out."

"Perhaps it was the work of those 'traitors' hidden within the city-states."

Chen Lin pondered.

"Should we go down and investigate now?"

Kodo stood up, rested his hands on the table, and glanced out the window. "More and more doors are opening, and the monsters we're facing are getting stronger. The people down below probably won't be able to hold on much longer. But if we go down, there will be no one left here."

“We really should go down,”

Chen Lin, standing beside him, said in a deep voice, "And it has to be fast."

"why?"

Kodo looked at him.

"We have to make it seem like there are always people here, or at least that there are people behind us."

Chen Lin looked at him and replied in a deep voice, "The fact that we've been hiding up there has only made things worse."

Those lurking in the shadows suspected something was amiss and wondered about the whereabouts of the two men.

He paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, if the other side can mobilize this strange 'bewitching' power, they might already know our strengths and weaknesses. That's the worst-case scenario, so we still need to take precautions to protect ourselves after we go down there."

“The situation is getting worse,”

Kodo sat back in his chair, raised his hand to his forehead, rubbed his temples, and after a moment, lowered his hand and sighed, "I hope those two succeed."

"I hope so."

Chen Lin looked out at the starry sky and sighed.
