A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"This Hive City holds a great secret, but unfortunately, with my limited authority, I can only stay in the outer city."

"Moreover, I can't go out or contact the outside world. Otherwise, even if it means death, I would still want to contact the Salvation Organization."

Zhou An slowly said, "Don't worry, everything will become clear."

"After asking me so many questions, I think I understand. You must be someone who escaped from a farm, right?" Wen Ruan had previously thought Zhou An was a member of the Salvation Organization.

However, Zhou An knew almost nothing, so this could be the only reason.

“Yes, I escaped from farm number 112.” Zhou An nodded slightly.

"Farm No. 112? Then you must be very strong."

"Farm No. 112 has the fewest humans and the most monsters, and they are also the strongest."

“Only a small portion of our Salvation Organization’s manpower over the years came from Farm No. 112,” Wen Ruan said, looking at Zhou An with some surprise.

"They're too strong, there's nothing I can do. Also, before I came to Hive City, I intercepted ten cars from Hive City."

"There are five hundred people in total, but why are there so few Chosen Ones?"

"Didn't you say that humans who enter Hive City can become Chosen Ones?" Zhou An asked.

"What? You hijacked the group of people that were transported out of Hive City?" Wen Ruan was immediately shocked.

"You didn't know? Three days have passed already." Zhou An frowned.

"Although I am the squad leader of the guard, my authority is limited. How would I know what is happening outside?"

"No wonder the army has been moving around so frequently these past few days, it turns out it was you who did it."

"As for why those people you mentioned didn't awaken their superpowers, the reason is quite simple: they are just clones," Wen Ruan said slowly.

"Clones? Don't tell me the people in those two farms are clones?" Zhou An raised an eyebrow, staring intently at Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan shook her head: "The number of humans in Farm 112 is the smallest. The people in there are all normal humans who have reproduced naturally."

"Farm No. 110 is full of clones, but even clones have a very small chance of awakening superpowers."

"Also, don't ask me where those people will be sent, because I don't know either."

Zhou An lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, Zhou An spoke up: "If I send you out, will you be able to contact the Salvation Organization?"

“Of course you can, but it’s already impressive that you were able to sneak in. If you were to bring someone else out, I don’t think that would be possible,” Wen Ruan said, shaking her head.

"Don't even mention one person, I could take ten more people out with me."

"Whether I leave quietly or lead you out to fight my way out, it's all very simple for me."

"To be honest, after I rescued those five hundred people, my next plan is to take over a breeding farm," Zhou An said calmly.

"Take over the farms? No way, absolutely not."

"Once you conquer Hive City, it will use its maximum authority to wipe you out."

"These past two years have also made me aware of some of the terrifying trump cards of Hive City."

"Firstly, although they cannot control the tree monsters, they can develop a potion that attracts them and makes them go berserk."

“The Hive City could even wipe you out without shedding a drop of blood by using tree monsters.”

"Secondly, Hive City has a military factory, which gives the monsters extremely powerful heavy firepower. They are capable of destroying Ghost Forest by bombarding it with artillery fire."

"Thirdly, the Hive has a monster army, and among the monster army are also monsters with supernatural abilities similar to our Chosen Ones."

"Not to mention the three royal monsters who control Hive City." Wen Ruan was afraid that Zhou An would do something foolish.

"That's it? No problem. To be honest, if it weren't for my companions and the information I wanted to know, I would already be wreaking havoc in Hive City by now."

Zhou An said with a faint smile.

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, you're super amazing." Wen Ruan nodded perfunctorily.

Although she thought Zhou An was indeed quite powerful, she didn't think he could resist the power of Hive City.

Seeing this, Zhou An shook his head: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Can you contact the Salvation Organization? I can't arrange for those five hundred people either."

Wen Ruan said softly, "I know one of the secret bases. I discovered it by accident, and I think there should be someone staying here."

“Alright, let’s go out first and settle those five hundred people in. Then I’ll explore this Hive City further.” Zhou An nodded.

"Wait, you said you could bring ten people with you, was that true or false?" Wen Ruan quickly grabbed Zhou An.

"Of course it's true, you'll see if you don't believe me." As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, he transformed Wen Ruan into a mosquito.

Wenruan quickly returned to her original form, looking at Zhou An with a shocked expression.

"That's great. No wonder you can come and go freely, even though the checks for entering and leaving Hive City are very strict."

“But there are size restrictions; anything larger than a mouse will be detected.” Wen Ruan immediately became excited.

"We're going to the nursery to rescue two children."

Zhou An frowned slightly: "Incubation room? Save the child?"

"That's right, these two children are five years old this year, they are twins, and they are very capable."

"And tomorrow we're going to brainwash them and inject them with nanochips."

“Once the brainwashing is successful, the twins’ abilities will be enough to kill all the humans hiding in the Ghost Forest,” Wen Ruan said.

"What ability? I'm quite curious." Zhou An immediately became interested.

"The older brother possesses the ability of mind-reading, and the younger sister possesses the ability of mental amplification."

"Mind Eye? Mental Amplification? What's the use?" Zhou An frowned.

“My brother An Yu was born blind, but his Mind Eye ability allows him to communicate with the minds of any living being.”

"And he can see the general surroundings. Although he is blind, he can move freely."

"My younger sister, Anran, was born unable to speak or hear others, but she possesses strong mental power, capable of amplifying her mental power tenfold."

“The two siblings have been inseparable since childhood and are connected at heart. An Ran’s ability can be applied to An Yu, allowing An Yu’s mental range to expand to fifty kilometers.”

"Do you think that once they are successfully brainwashed, their abilities will be enough to wipe out all the humans in Ghost Forest?" Wen Ruan asked.

"This is indeed a threat. It can actually amplify the abilities of others tenfold. It's truly extraordinary."

"But... how do you know all this so clearly?" Zhou An asked, puzzled.

“I raised them until they were three years old. Later, a traitor betrayed them, and in order to save them, I revealed their abilities.”

"The brother and sister were brought here together. They were probably thought to be young, and they have been 'trained' for two years."

"But two years have passed and it hasn't worked. The monster has lost patience and has decided to proceed with the brainwashing procedure and nanochip implantation tomorrow."

“Once brainwashing is successful, their consciousness will be erased, and they will only become machines that obey orders.” A hint of tenderness appeared in Wen Ruan’s eyes.

"Are they your son and daughter? I can't believe it, you don't look like someone who's ever had children," Zhou An exclaimed.

"What are you thinking? Their parents were my comrades-in-arms, but they died at the hands of monsters."

"That's why I took them in. I'm still a virgin," Wen Ruan said irritably.

"Okay, then come with me. By the way, is there anyone else we need to save? Let's save them all at once."

When Zhou An comes again, he will unleash a massacre.

"No, there aren't any. The humans who can stay in Hive City are either clones or traitors to the Salvation Organization."

“Like An Yu and me, it’s like a scorpion pooping, one of a kind,” Wen Ruan said, shaking her head.

"Alright then, give me directions." Zhou An activated the power of the monkey talisman, instantly turning the two of them into mosquitoes.

……

The incubation room was a silver, unassuming building.

However, its security and defense are extremely high.

There are at least dozens of monsters guarding this place.

And these aren't the two-meter-tall monsters from Farm 112, but giant monsters that are five meters tall.

The security chief is a monster with supernatural abilities.

Zhou An easily led Wen Ruan into the incubation room.

Wen Ruan led Zhou An through the winding paths of the cultivation room with practiced ease, finally arriving at a glass room.

There were two glass rooms on the left and right, each containing a five-year-old child.

They were dressed in white, barefoot, and huddled in the corner.

There was no one around, which saved Zhou An and his group a lot of trouble.

"Quick, turn us back. Breaking the glass will trigger an alarm, and you need to turn them all into mosquitoes immediately," Wenruan urged.

"What's the panic? We can fly in, right? Let's fly in first." Zhou An's gaze fell on the several holes that had appeared above.

The hole is not large, only about the thickness of a little finger, and is used for ventilation.

Before long, the two flew into the older brother's glass house.

At this moment, the older brother looked up at Zhou An and Wen Ruan.

"Strange, what kind of creature is this?" An Yu asked, his face full of doubt.

An Yu actually sensed the mosquito immediately.

Zhou An immediately transformed back into human form.

"Ayu." The moment she appeared, Wenruan's face showed excitement.

"Aunt Wen... Aunt Wen? You... how did you get here?" An Yu was full of surprise.

"Let's not talk now. I'm here to save you. We can escape now. Don't say anything."

“Brother An will turn you into a mosquito. Now we’re going to rescue your sister. We can talk about everything else after we leave Beehive City,” Wen Ruan said quickly.

“Okay, Aunt Wen.” An Yu nodded obediently.

Zhou An immediately turned An Yu and Wen Ruan into mosquitoes.
