Little Odetta was very light and didn't take Luo Ling much effort.

She didn't say anything, but just buried her little face in Luo Ling's long silver hair, with her slightly hot cheeks slightly pressed against the back of Luo Ling's neck.

After making sure she had to leave the hatchery, Lina no longer followed the traces left by the tumor monsters, but consciously moved in the direction where there were fewer monsters.

There will be a central area in the hatchery, and the hatched "eggs" are most likely located in the central area. All tumor monsters will definitely tend to move towards the central area because of their instinctive call.

Lina has been going around in circles these past two days because she can't find the central area.

The "egg" can also protect itself. Perhaps it senses that Lina is powerful enough to kill it, so it has been deliberately avoiding Lina's pursuit.

Now it is much easier to find the exit of the hatchery by thinking in the completely opposite way.

There was no need for Luo Ling to take action against the tumor monsters along the way. Although Lina seemed unreliable, her strength was real.

The long-handled musket in her hand should be one thing. Every time she shoots, Luo Ling can feel a strong fluctuation of inspiration.

Although the guns look old-fashioned, in Lina's hands, their lethality is even greater than that of modern firearms.

On the way, they encountered a hateful fat man who was filled with tumor monsters as a physical shield. He was as big as three or four floors. Lina tore his body apart with one shot, and three shots completely shattered his body.

Rather than saying it is a gun, it is more like Lina's spellcasting staff, which essentially has little to do with firearms.

After groping in the ruins for a long time, when the sun had already set and the bright moonlight was shining on this land of suffering filled with roars and howls, Lina and others finally approached the boundary of the hatchery.

It was Luo Ling who first noticed that something was wrong with the surrounding aura. It was gradually returning to normal, and Lina was planning to explore in another direction.

...In fact, Luo Ling wondered if they had gone around in circles a few more times, but since Lina insisted that she was not a person with a poor sense of direction, she had no choice but to continue following them.

"Wait for a moment on the side. I'll clear a path for you right away."

Lina nodded to Luo Ling, and then began to load ammunition into her musket for the first time.

It was a bullet made of amethyst. Luo Ling felt it was familiar. After taking a closer look, she found that the material was somewhat similar to the hairpin Fiona gave her.

However, the crystal used to make the hairpin is more delicate and is permeated with some starlight. It should be a more important part of the strange holy remains.

The other less important strange holy relics were made into bullets by Lina.

But even so, it can be seen how precious this bullet is.

In order to save an ordinary stranger from danger, Lina used such a precious thing without any hesitation...

This gave Luo Ling a better understanding of Lina's character.

He is a good person with a cold appearance but a warm heart.

Lina took a deep breath, raised her musket, and aimed at the weak point of the hatchery's barrier.

But just as she was about to shoot, something strange happened.

"help me..."

A faint voice sounded, and everyone's expressions paused.

"Are there any other survivors?"

Lina immediately put away her gun. If there were any survivors, it would be better to rescue them and take them out.

No one knows whether the hatchery barrier will recover extraordinarily quickly after it is broken, and it will only be enough to get people out.

Amethyst bullets are still very precious, so save as much as possible.

Luo Ling began to search following the sound and found a human figure not far away.

"over there!"

Luo Ling pointed in a direction.

Lina rushed over immediately, and when she saw someone asking for help, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Withef! Why is it you?"

Luo Ling was about to go over, but she saw Lina raising her hand towards her.

"do not come!"

Lina's pupils kept trembling. She wanted to squat down and support the injured man, but she kept hesitating.

"help me..."

The man murmured in a hoarse voice. Although his body had not yet shown any signs of abnormality, the horrific wound ran straight from his left shoulder to his right leg, a wound that almost cut him in half.

The exposed heart and internal organs continued to beat, the gushing blood was slightly sprayed, the pupils had turned white, and the face was completely bloodless.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like he's seriously injured and on the verge of death, but is still hanging on to life.

But... this is a weird hatchery.

Even when she saw her teammates were seriously injured, Lina still maintained the most basic calmness and restraint, and did not rush to rescue her teammates, even though it seemed that Wisef would die on the spot the next moment if she did not lend a helping hand.

After three seconds of hesitation, Withef could no longer make any sound, and only his mouth opened and closed instinctively.

It was difficult for Lina to control herself.

"Don't go there."

A childish voice whispered, and a small hand pulled on her light armor.

Only then did Lina realize that Luo Ling had been standing beside her without her noticing.

"Miss Southern Cross..."

Lina hesitated for a moment, and just as her gaze shifted, a gray shadow appeared at lightning speed, but it did not attack Luo Ling and Lina, but directed its attack directly at the remains on the ground.

Almost as an instinctive reaction, Lina took a step forward.

There was no time to think, she had to save her teammate who was attacked.

You can't ignore your teammates.

"Total domination."

A plain and cold childish voice sounded, booming in Lina's ears.

Lina turned around subconsciously, but was met with a pair of gray eyes. The stunningly beautiful little face under the cloak could not attract her attention. The only thing in her vision was the pair of strange eyes.

"Don't move."

what happened?

I...can’t even move?

The extremely beautiful silver-haired girl who looked like she was not human stared at her intently and gave her an order.

"Don't move."

That's right, it's an order.

He was tyrannical and unreasonable, but she had no choice but to obey.

A sudden fear emerged in her heart. Although it quickly receded like the tide, it still brought an indescribable shadow to Lina.

The next moment, the gray eyes returned to their normal color, the cloak covered the girl's delicate face again, and the same tender voice as always sounded,

“This is a trap.”

trap...

Lina slowly turned her head and saw a deformed beast leaning against Witherf, looking at her with a sneer.

Only half of the deformed beast's body was left, with a very obvious spine protruding from the broken lower body. Its arms had transformed into sharp and ferocious bone blades, supporting its eerie and swift movements.

At the same time, Withef kept murmuring "Save me", but a large pool of mucus slowly emerged from behind his head. This mucus filled his entire body, even his internal organs and heart that had just been beating were filled with this mucus.

It can be said that the Withef they saw was just a shell. In fact, he had turned into a deformed beast, and the mucus was the body of the deformed beast.

In a sense, it is similar to the way the puppet is controlled.

It’s just that Puppet Yao is better at this. If it were Puppet Yao who performed this trick, no matter who it was, even Luo Ling himself, it would be difficult to see through it.

"We have to accept a sad fact. Your teammates have become our enemies." Luo Ling said in a deep voice, "We are facing two ninth-level awakeners now."

The bone sickle half-beast was obviously the poor troupe leader, the only seventh-level awakener in the troupe. Even before his death, he was still wearing his beloved theatrical costume, with makeup smeared on his hideous and deformed face.

And Weatherf standing next to him most likely ran head-on into the troupe leader and was unfortunately cut in half, becoming a member of the hatchery.

This was the first time Lina met her teammates in a few days, but the reunion ended in such a sad way.

There was a flash of sadness in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Miss Southern Cross, how many times can you use the "Complete Domination" just now?"

Lina was also shocked by Luo Ling's strength.

She didn't expect that Luo Ling could even control her, and this control... was absolute.

Lina understood this well. In that situation, it was impossible for her to launch even the slightest resistance. Within a few seconds, she was like a puppet at the mercy of Luo Ling.

"Unfortunately, it probably won't be very many times."

Luo Ling's inspiration is still recovering slowly, and controlling Lina for a short period of time has already consumed a lot of his energy.

Lina's strength is not weak. Even if she is in her perfect form, it is still difficult to completely control Lina by relying on "complete control".

The eighth-level awakener, and a little further ahead, is the ninth-level awakener who can use power, which can almost be regarded as the pinnacle of human existence.

"Please..."

Before Lina could say anything, Wisef and the troupe director had no time to wait for the two of them to flirt.

The spreading sticky liquid attached to the scattered pieces of muscle and attacked Lina and Luo Ling respectively. It was very greedy and wanted to eat both of them in one bite.

In comparison, the troupe leader was much more solid. His cold bone sickle snatched away a ray of darkness in the moonlight and chopped Lina in half, wanting to turn Lina into a halfling as pitiful as himself.

"Devouring, corroding, occupying..."

Luo Ling looked at the mucus surrounding her and found it ridiculous.

Using this kind of power in front of the ancestor "Puppet Ballad" is so stupid that it is not enough to describe it as showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

The long silver-white hair spread out slightly, and the floating mucus was covered with all kinds of strange-shaped hyphae, and a fierce fight began between the two.

"Oh!"

A loud gunshot rang out.

One of the troupe leader's sickles shattered, and his ferocious expression was filled with pain. He screamed and limped away.

But Lina also paid a price.

She supported her body with the gun barrel with one hand, and her other arm was covered with wounds. An arm broken into two pieces rolled on the ground, and the black wound on it was corroding and making a sizzling sound.

There were also some amethyst fragments scattered on the ground, sparkling under the bright moonlight.

"Damn..."

Chapter 4 Hatchery Deterioration (5k)

It is a strange creation equivalent to a ninth-order awakener, and can be compared to the complete strangeness of about the 200th place in the strange sequence. From a purely combat perspective, it is already the peak of human beings who do not possess power.

Going a little further, it has surpassed the limits of human beings and can be called the "BOSS" level.

According to the company's guidelines for dealing with weird things, a P8 team led by a P7 specialist is needed to deal with it.

Of course, this response takes into account the possibility of no casualties. After all, specialists above the P7 level are no longer consumables for the "company".

Lina's strength should be considered between P7 and P8 in the company. It is still very difficult to counterbalance this level of weirdness alone.

and...

The more difficult problem is that the troupe leader's ability restrains her.

The troupe leader, who is known for his speed, can easily approach Lina, preventing her from fully displaying her strength.

Lina's ability requires a certain amount of preparation time to be fully utilized. It is best to keep a certain distance so that the killing range will not affect yourself, so that you can move more freely.

In short, a glass cannon.

Compared to this, Withef is not a threat.

A number of fungal strains have grown on the remains of its body, restricting the rampant behavior of these mucus.

"Well...."
