Chapter 30 30. Underground World
“What should we do with these survivors?” Li Jian glanced at the dark subway station. Most of the survivors had dull eyes or were hanging their heads crying. They have not yet recovered from the disaster. .
Su Hong walked down the stairs, "As long as they don't deal with the spider nest, they can't go anywhere."
"Maybe we two will die earlier than them."
Li Jian's shoulders relaxed, "Yes, after solving the spider nest, they may still have hope of escaping Shengshi."
"If even we are dead, their life and death are not our concern."
Su Hong went down to the platform, inspected the messy ground, and then glanced at him, "When did the undead people who advocated the new theory of humanity care so much about the life and death of the old humanity?"
These words touched Li Jian's heart. He fell silent, paused for a moment, and then walked towards the subway tunnel in the center of the city.
The two walked forward in silence in the darkness. Li Jian spoke for a long time, "My father is an immortal, and my grandfather is also an immortal. The immortal bloodline of the living Protz family has been passed down for a long time. Except for those who encountered accidents, most of the family's predecessors They all live in an immortal and decaying body.”
"Just like those disaster monsters, their bodies are corrupted and their consciousness is confused, but they occasionally wake up."
"I was born into this family of monsters since I was a child. All I have seen and heard are rotten things."
"But my mother is not. She is just an ordinary old human being. She is so alive and lovable."
"Like fireworks that are fleeting, but can bloom into the most brilliant and beautiful flowers in a short moment."
Li Jian sighed, "The living are amazing. Sometimes I envy them."
Su Hong pondered, "Do you recognize the name Renault Protz?"
Renault Plotz, the eldest son of the Plotz family, was also the cursed ghoul he defeated.
Li Jian shook his head, "I'm sorry, I've never heard of this name."
The two walked through the dungeon entrance leading to the garden community. Originally, Li Jian wanted to go in and check, but Su Hong said: "There are only some skeletons and corpses inside. The exit leads to a community. There is no need to waste your efforts."
Li Jian looked at Su Hong with strange eyes, "How did you know?"
"As far as I know, although the historical measurement comparison method of the successor's bloodline can estimate the approximate time interval when the end of the world will occur, it is generally impossible to predict the distribution of the formation of disasters."
Su Hong replied casually, "My accomplice is at the other end."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Li Jian believed it or not and continued walking deeper into the tunnel.
It is now the second day of the apocalypse. When the third day comes, there will be a wave of spiders.
Time is tight and there is no time to explore the situation in the garden community.
The two continued to move deeper into the tunnel for several hours. Tree roots densely filled the gaps in the tunnel. Some tree roots drooped down and were dripping with blood-red liquid, which formed pools of blood on the tunnel floor.
I don’t know if this is the sap flowing from the trees or the victim’s blood...
Li Jian observed the blood pool on the ground and said: "Yesterday's spider attack was fierce and took away most of the disaster monsters underground. We are still very safe..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Hong suddenly stopped and looked forward, "Li Jian, you seem to have the gift of a crow's mouth."
Li Jian followed his gaze and looked ahead into the deep darkness. There were faint spots of light flickering, and the ground smelled so bad that it seemed to be the feces of some kind of creature.
[Ghostly bats inhabiting dank dungeons]
[Disaster level: present world]
[Disaster Level: Level 5]
[Disaster Skill: Shadow Dagger (Excellent), twists the shadow of the bat wing and turns it into a sharp dagger, piercing the prey. 】
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Dark shadows moved above the tunnel, and a piercing cry came out.
"Run!" Su Hong shouted, and the Death Apostle dropped his arms to the ground, propped up his body, ran, and rushed into the deep tunnel.
Squeak! ! The ghost bats were alarmed and flapped their wings to escape, densely packed together. The shadow daggers hit the armor and the Death Apostles' arms, making a clanging sound.
A bloody light suddenly lit up behind Su Hong. Li Jian swung his blood slash, annihilating the bat, and chased after him.
The man yelled, "Are you sure it's the right thing to go inside?"
"Let's talk after we get in!"
The Dead Apostle's arms were flailing wildly, and ghostly bats flew out one after another, turning into flesh paste on the wall.
"You defeated the ghost, gained experience, and gained disaster potential 5."
"..."
Game prompts continued to appear. A few minutes later, there seemed to be a faint light coming from the front. Su Hong was shocked. Before he could move forward, his feet suddenly became empty, and his body lost balance and fell.
"Boom!"
Su Hong hit the abandoned car hard, and Li Jian jumped down from it covered in blood.
The two looked up at the subway tunnel. Bats were wandering chaotically in the sky, and their voices echoed endlessly.
"Where is this?"
Su Hong raised his palm, and it was stained with some sticky liquid, which seemed to be left by those spiders.
Looking around, they seemed to have fallen into a deep canyon. The sky above was dark and deep, and the ground was full of ruins and debris of human civilization. There was something faintly glowing in the corners.
Li Jian thought: "It seems that the ground collapsed, forming an underground hollow world."
"It's very empty here, and you can't see the end of it. Maybe the spider nest is nearby, so be careful."
Su Hong stood up from the scrapped car, and his eyes fell on the mysterious luminous object not far away. When he got closer, he saw that it was a green and irregular ore, and the light it gave off made people feel chilled.
He picks up the ore, and the game prompts.
"Coarse Coprolite Ore (Normal + Material): It is formed by the deposition of feces excreted by fluorescent spiders. It can be used to make fluorescent lamps or fluorescent equipment."
Su Hong had a strange expression on his face, feeling that he had just picked up a piece of shit.
"It was found that the damaged elite knight armor is 100% compatible with the coarse bezoar ore. Can it be fused and strengthened?"
"Integration, of course fusion." Su Hong said without thinking.
Even if it becomes a Shit Knight Armor after fusion, it will still be a shining Shit Knight Armor.
"The fusion enhancement failed, you need to have blacksmithing or alchemy related skills."
When he saw the prompt, his heart, which had just been boiling, instantly cooled down.
Having said that, he doesn't have any skills now. Where can he find blacksmithing skills? Why should he learn them by himself?
Putting the fecal stones away, the two of them walked cautiously toward the bright depths of the canyon.
The deeper you go into the canyon, the more bezoars there are and the brighter the surrounding environment becomes.
Subtle sounds reached his ears along with the wind, and Su Hong seemed to see a shadow twisting under the light of the fluorescent bezoar.
"Are there monsters fighting?"
Su Hong and Li Jian looked at each other, and the two of them knelt down and approached slowly.
"The minions of the Protz family, don't even think of blocking my way forward!"
An angry roar came from below the cliff. Su Hong poked his head out and saw that the bright pit was surrounded by spider silk. The knight waved his spear and faced off against a huge fluorescent spider.
