Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

There's nothing we can do about it; it's a damaged primordial seed that can't provide any real help until it's repaired. It's already a miracle that it was even found.

It was Chen Xi's extraordinary ability to "overthrow the superior" that was transmitted to the primordial seed through the red experience baby, which resulted in the guiding red arrow.

As they approached, the crater beneath Chen Xi's feet suddenly began to expand, the ground began to rise slowly, and the slope gradually disappeared.

"I see, so this is also a form of protection."

"As long as there is no pit, even someone who accidentally stumbles into this place will not discover that there is a primordial seed underneath."

"Today is just me coming, so I'm showing my true colors from the very beginning."

Chen Xi muttered to himself, looking at the ring on his hand. He now had two rings: one was a ring that doubled his mental power, and the other was the Primal Seed he had just obtained.

"Should we upgrade to Tier III now?"

Chen Xi murmured to himself. By this time, the ground had been completely restored to a flat surface, and the meteorite crater had completely disappeared.

The primordial seed continued to hide below, using the safe zone to continue repairing itself, except now it had an external force, Chen Xi.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xi shook his head.

It wasn't that he wanted to deliberately suppress his combat power.

First and foremost, Chen Xi absolutely must leave this safe zone.

If you advance to Tier III here, it means you'll face misfortune as soon as you leave.

Although we will inevitably face misfortune sooner or later, the current situation is not cost-effective.

After leaving, find another safe zone. Ideally, the danger in this safe zone should be at least Tier III. Then, Chen Xi should upgrade to Tier III.

Unleash the ultimate power mode and go on a rampage!

It directly and completely repairs the original seed in one step.

Having finalized his plan, Chen Xi quickly turned and left.

First, we'll meet up with Yang Wei and the others. As for the rest of the route...

Let's head straight to Paradise Lost. This safe zone is clearly different from others, and the danger inside can't be much less.

......

......

Garbage City.

"So much blood!"

"This is clearly not normal bleeding!"

Wang Qingqing's expression turned solemn, and she even instinctively took a half step back.

Currently, Lin Fan, her, and Assam all lack any psychic power.

The current situation clearly indicates that something has happened down below. It would be a lie to say that one is not afraid when faced with such a situation when one is powerless to do anything about it.

"Lin Fan, what do we do now?"

Despite his weakness, Lin Fan remained the backbone of the team, Assam asked hurriedly.

His extraordinary trait is the [Treasure-Hunting Rat], which is destined to be a support ability, so he is naturally dependent on others.

Although Lin Fan is not very strong yet, Assam believes that he has the greatest potential!

"Let's go take a look." Lin Fan made a decision after a moment of silence.

"How about Lin Fan...?"

Lin Fan immediately raised his hand, interrupting Wang Qingqing's speech.

"I know what you're trying to say. If it were before, I would have chosen the safer option."

"But that won't work now. For the next move, I plan to incorporate some appropriate risks."

"Believe me, playing it safe only prolongs the time it takes to die, but that's not enough."

"In such places, danger, in a sense, is also a kind of opportunity!"

After speaking, he pointed to the place where he had just come down.

"I'm not that brainless. If anything unexpected happens, we'll run upstairs."

"Fine, you decide!"

Although Lin Fan's plan was incomplete, Assam still chose to blindly believe it.

"Could it have been done by Jia Siwei?"

"He also came from the downward passage."

Wang Qingqing suddenly thought of something and said it aloud.

"Unlikely."

"Although we haven't known each other for long, it's clear that Jia Siwei is the kind of person who is very goal-oriented and won't do anything outside of his plan."

"I can't think of any reason why he would kill ordinary people."

"And also..."

"Did he really come down?"

"There's more than just the downward passage to leave Paradise Lost; the Black Tower is another way out!"

"Therefore, I don't believe Jia Siwei came down; rather, he went towards that black tower!"

"I don't know if that black tower is the end of our journey home, but I do know that we clearly don't have the strength to reach it right now!"

The content is a bit heartbreaking but very real.

"Let's go take a look. Logically speaking, something that can kill ordinary people can't be much stronger!"

Seeing that the two of them looked dejected, Lin Fan encouraged them.

"That's right, just like when we walk, we don't even notice the ants under our feet!"

Assam continues to blindly support [the government/the government].

"Alright, two votes are greater than one vote, let's go."

Wang Qingqing had actually already agreed in her heart, but she wanted to save face, so she stubbornly said a few words.

Lin Fan saw through it but didn't say anything, and walked straight over.

The distance wasn't far, and Lin Fan and his two companions arrived in no time.

"It's him..."

A man lay in a pool of blood at the corner. This man was the one who had advised Lin Fan to take on more responsibilities when Lin Fan was planning to go to the upper city.

Lin Fan had little contact with him and didn't even know his name, but he felt a slight sense of injustice in his fate.

This person chose to stay in the lower city, but even if he went up, he would still commit suicide; either way, he would die.

Lin Fan crouched down and carefully examined the body.

Wang Qingqing also boldly touched it a few times:

"The body is slowly starting to stiffen; the time of death should be between 1 and 3 hours ago. The murderer might still be nearby!"

Lin Fan drew a conclusion.

"Such a clean cut... This shouldn't be something a normal person could do, right?"

Assam added, the implication being clear: those capable of such feats likely possess extraordinary power, much like theirs.

"Perhaps, maybe some of them have become awakened."

Lin Fan didn't say much; if it were someone who had just awakened, they definitely wouldn't be able to beat him.

The three of them continued forward following the body, and found many more bodies along the way.

The manner of their deaths was identical.

"How ruthless!"

"We've all been through thick and thin together, there's no need for this, is there?"

Wang Qingqing said with some disgust.

"wrong!"

"I just counted, and from the first one to now, the death toll is exactly 50."

"There were only 100 of us in total. 50 went to the upper city with us, and 50 stayed behind. Now they're all dead. This means that it wasn't an awakened one from within, but rather an outsider appeared!"

The moment Lin Fan finished speaking, a series of footsteps suddenly came from not far away.

The sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached Lin Fan and his companions.

A moment later, an old man with white hair carrying a long sword appeared before them.

"I didn't expect there would still be some who slipped through the net."

The white-haired old man looked at Lin Fan and the other two with some excitement, and said coldly.

......

......

The primordial seed safe zone.

"A royal flush!"

"Hehehe!"

"I win like crazy as soon as the boss isn't around. Looks like this wicked capitalist has sucked all my luck away!"

In this game of Dou Dizhu, Yang Wei held three sets of bombs, yet he managed to blow himself up and elicit a cold laugh from the Dragon King!

Just as the girl in the 0.5-inch pants was about to shuffle the cards for the next round, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her not far away.

"Boss, I miss you so much!"

Yang Wei turned around without looking back, but the smile on his face immediately froze when he saw who it was.

Because what appeared behind him was not Chen Xi, but a chameleon-like fake man and a middle-aged man he had never seen before.

"Dad, it's them!"

The chameleon-like fake man looked at Yang Wei and the other two and said coldly.
