Chapter 63 [Eternal Lingzhi]
In the center of room B01 is a cylindrical life-support device with several bronze pipes connected to it.
This device was supposed to contain the embryos and nutrient solution of the "Tian Sheng Suzuka".
However, when Xia En walked into the room, he only saw broken glass shards on the ground.
The embryo of "Tian Sheng Suzuka" disappeared, not even a bone was left.
There were large splatters of blood on the floor and walls. It looked like a very tragic killing had occurred here.
"Something's wrong..."
Xia En frowned.
Even a reckless and greedy treasure hunter should not do such a thing.
He walked out of the room and searched several nearby rooms starting with B.
Sure enough, without exception, all the ancient creatures originally stored in these rooms were dead.
Only the blood stains left at the scene and the information in the room prove that they ever existed.
It wasn't until he walked into room B12 that Xia En made an unexpected discovery.
Two bodies lie in this room.
One body was highly decomposed, with only a skeleton wrapped in a white coat remaining.
On the other one, some characteristics of a shark could be barely discerned.
This can't help but remind Shane of "Andre who will always stay in the treasure place in the shipwreck log."
Coincidentally, these two corpses have another thing in common, they both lost Killed his own head.
Exactly the same as the "beheaded" crew members in the sunken ship.
Xia En walked to the white coat and searched for a while, and found a yellowed diary in the coat.
[Salary Calendar Year 287]
[March 24]
[This is my first day entering Ember Shelter No. 21. I am honored to be selected for the King's "Spark Project" .”]
[Although I don’t know why, according to the requirements of the shelter, every researcher must write a diary every day. 】
【If you don’t know what to write, just write whatever you want. 】
After that, there were short diaries for many days without any information, so Shane quickly skipped them.
【...I have gradually become accustomed to life in the shelter. 】
【The seeds in area C and the animals in area B are fine, as long as the incubator is inspected every day for leaks. 】
【But the monsters in Area A... I dare not get close even through the door with a magic seal. 】
【I heard that the king had planned to dispose of all Class A existences harmlessly, but was rejected by the director of the shelter. 】
[I now feel that the king’s decision is correct. 】
【...Tomorrow is the day when "long-term dormancy" officially begins. I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy. 】
【I hope the little ones in Area A won’t cause any trouble while we are sleeping. 】
……
……
[My hibernation was forcibly ended! 】
【I don’t know what happened, but I heard A09 roaring in the corridor, and the unique smell of A11 came through the door. 】
【Wait, A18...is crying? 】
【Damn, why did it even come out? 】
【If A06 is also released, everyone's heads will be chopped off sooner or later! No one can escape! 】
[I have a suppression device distributed by the shelter. Maybe I can lock one of the Class A beings back. 】
【To be honest, I am very afraid of death and don’t want to take risks at all. 】
【However, if I don’t do some things, who will do them? 】
[To my colleagues, or those who come after me, if anyone sees this diary, please at least remember my name and remember that in this ember shelter, there were people who struggled with all their strength. Pass. 】
【I, Sigvar Lance, am leaving now! 】
[May... the flames of fire always exist! 】After quickly reading the contents of this diary, Xia En's heart was filled with waves.
The information in the diary revealed a corner of the mystery of this [Ember Shelter] for him.
Just as he guessed, the creatures in Areas B and C are all "fire seeds" specially preserved by King Xin.
But apart from these two types of ordinary creatures, there are also A very dangerous and strange Class A existence.
It seems that it was also the riots of Type A beings that caused huge changes in the entire sanctuary, forcing "Sigvar Lance" to wake up from hibernation.
However, judging from Sigvar’s missing head and the missing animals in Area B, his action probably failed.
“These animals have probably been turned into rations for Class A beings, so there are not even bones left.”
After coming to this conclusion, Shane left the room and walked towards Go deeper into the passage.
In the passage here, blood stains and signs of struggle began to appear, as well as some strange damaged equipment.
Perhaps it was the so-called "suppression device" in the diary.
Soon, Xia En came to the door of a room numbered [A01].
After seeing the words on the door clearly, his pupils shrank instantly.
[A01-Coral Protozoa]
[A creature that can transform humans in a city into corals. It is extremely active and polluting. No feeding is required. Director-level permission is required to interact with it. of contact. 】
[Weakness: Flame; the divine magic of the Lord of Radiance. 】
【The king of the Kingdom of Shuton has embarked on a wrong path. 】
【He attempted to use the power of gods to integrate humans and corals so as to survive the great flood. 】
[In fact, he did successfully create several transformers who can maintain their sanity. They only need to be baptized by the brilliance of the Lord of Glory to melt the coral and restore the transformers to their original state. 】
【However, I dare to conclude that blindly relying on gods is destined to embark on the road of self-destruction. 】
【Another kingdom is about to fall. ——Xin Wang】
Different from the previous brief notes, there are longer notes beside the doors in Class A areas, introducing their weaknesses and origins.
And this [Coral Primarch] is obviously the culprit who turned the capital of Shoton into the Coral City!
"Hiss..."
Xia En took a slight breath.
The A01 alone is so heavyweight, and the existence of the A-class after that will definitely not be simple.
This is exactly the case.
[A02-Wandering Darkness]
[Intangible creatures living in the shadows will be dragged into the shadows once they look at them for three seconds. 】
【It is said that those who exist in the shadows have not died, but are imprisoned in corners that cannot be observed or touched, making unknown wailings day after day, year after year. . 】
[Weaknesses: light; flame; dark chocolate. 】
……
[A03-Eternal Ganoderma]
[Lingzhi that prolongs life after being swallowed. 】
【The price of having an extremely long lifespan is that you will continue to change from old age to youth, to infancy, until you are an embryo whose consciousness has not yet sprouted, and then completely die. 】
[Your long life will be turned into nourishment for this creature. 】
[Weakness: None]
"...Huh?"
Seeing these descriptions, Xia En suddenly thought of Lutitia, the queen of the sea tribe.
Aren’t her symptoms exactly consistent with the situation after swallowing [Eternal Ganoderma]?
Xia En looked at the door of room A03. The door was ajar, and the container in the room was empty.
This means that someone once took this [Eternal Lingzhi] from this [Ember Sanctuary] and gave it to Luticia!
A later treasure hunter?
Or the Aboriginal people in the shelter?
While Xia En was thinking, a vast and melodious boat song suddenly sounded in his ears...
