Chapter 45 45. Ancient Rank
Su Hong and the two went all the way deep into the Line 6 tunnel, passed three subway stations, and saw parked trains lying on the tracks, but there was no sign of any survivors or monsters, as if they had completely disappeared from the world.
"Strange."
This strange phenomenon also happened at the subway stations along Line 7. Before, he was busy rushing to the spider nest and didn't pay much attention to it.
Now it seems that these survivors have most likely encountered something unexpected.
As for who the murderer is.
The answer is obvious.
Su Hong stopped and looked at the dark Jinghu Station platform not far away. A thick bloody light was clearly visible in his eyes like a burning flame.
After the apocalypse, the minions of different factions intercepted and killed the living Protz family undead staying in the subway station, and have been pursuing some mysterious plans.
It is very likely that these ordinary people have become victims of the plans advanced by the minions of different factions.
"Zhou Hong?" A hoarse voice came from the darkness.
Su Hong approached the platform and saw the people on the platform clearly with the faint light.
The man was wearing a blood-stained black robe, and the flesh hidden underneath was undulating and squirming like a bug.
Memories about him appeared in Su Hong's mind - codename two, with a mysterious and unknown name, and other minions from different sides called him a meat man.
"Routine, where's the boss?" Su Hong asked, imitating Zhou Hong's tone.
The boss of the Divergent Minions, codenamed One, is the most feared existence by the Divergent Minions besides the Divergent Knights.
The flesh man let out a sinister laugh, "Ho ho, it's almost over."
After saying that, the man ignored Su Hong and just stood motionless on the platform, falling into deathly silence.
Wang Chengzhi glanced at Su Hong cautiously. Although he wanted to speak, it was obvious that it was not the time yet. He could only wait silently with Su Hong.
The darkness was extremely silent. I don't know how long it had passed, but the sound of subtle footsteps suddenly sounded and gradually became clearer.
Someone came over.
Su Hong looked deep into the tunnel, and a tall and straight figure appeared. The man was wearing a white shirt and a burgundy vest. He was dressed slovenly and had a stubble on his chin that had not been trimmed for many days.
If he hadn't known in advance that the man in front of him was code number one, Su Hong would have thought he was a bartender from some bar.
The man came over and his eyes fell on Su Hong.
"You looked at the ancient existence at close range, and he seemed to regard you as a companion. The disaster potential is +300."
His dark eyes were full of vicissitudes of life. A second ago, he was the codename of a decadent uncle, but he suddenly changed in front of Su Hong.
He felt the ancient atmosphere, his heart suddenly beat violently, and the decadent temperament of the man in front of him became mysterious and profound, like a dusty wine bottle left in the cellar. As soon as the cork was opened, the aroma of the wine would hit his nose. It exudes the intoxicating smell of age.
Inexplicably, the shadow demon appeared in his mind.
Is this the ancient rank Li Jian mentioned?
Although Su Hong didn't know much about the ancient level, the moment he saw the code name one, he was very sure that this was the immortal of the ancient level.
Codename One actually crossed the current level and reached the ancient level!
His face became solemn, and he secretly became more vigilant.
Code One glanced at Su Hong, and then set his sights behind him.
The man frowned, "Where are the Chen Fang siblings? Why aren't they here?"
Su Hong said slowly: "I haven't seen it either."
"The chain dropped at the critical moment." Code One threw a blood-red bead bracelet into the hands of Flesh Man, "Meat Man, you and Zhou Hong go to feed the spiders together. I will go find Code Six to solve the attack on the spider nest. The Knights Templar.”
"Copy that." The meat man smiled sinisterly and strung the bead bracelet on his wrist.
Su Hong's expression changed. He captured the key word of "spider keeper" in the words of code number one.
etc.
Something suddenly occurred to him. Could it be that the tide of spiders raging in the underground world was released by minions of different factions? !
Su Hong was shocked inside.
Li Jian's previous actions showed that he clearly knew that the spider tide was the work of different minions.
Could it be said that before the end of the world, the undead and the different minions had a dispute over the spider nest?
However, Xu Yanrui said that before the apocalypse, there was only one incident in which the undead and the minions of different factions fought - the minions of different factions attacked the shelter.
Could there be a secret hidden in this incident that Xu Yanrui doesn't know about?
Su Hong kept this guess in his heart, and he and the meat man watched the oppressive code name leave.
After the man disappeared, the flesh man said, "Let's go."
He jumped off the platform and walked towards the tunnel where Su Hong and the two came from.
Su Hong followed behind, looking at the meat man's back with twinkling eyes.
The memory of Zhou Hong that remained in his mind did not contain the existence of the spider nest at all, let alone the people who raised the spiders.
There are two possibilities, either Zhou Hong is not qualified to know, or he has deleted the memory of the spider nest.
Su Hong prefers the second possibility.
He just stumbled with Spider Woman not long ago, Zhou Hong probably did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, Su Hong tried in a low voice: "Is nothing going to happen to the spider owner?"
The flesh man suddenly stopped in his steps, turned back to look at Su Hong, and said with a cold smile: "Haha, my eyes are watching over there. Any immortal who dares to come close will not be able to escape my sight."
Suddenly he changed the topic, "Speaking of which, Zhou Hong, you seem to be acting strange today."
Obviously, Su Hong's words aroused his suspicion.
Su Hong remained calm, "During the battle with the undead, I lost a little bit of my soul, and some memories were also lost."
"Then you're quite unlucky."
The meat man looked at him deeply, and then continued on his way as if nothing had happened.
Su Hong stared at the flesh man's back, and the shadow was about to move. He knew that he might have been exposed, and he was hesitating whether to take action directly.
After thinking for a few seconds, the tense muscles in his body relaxed.
The flesh man didn't attack him immediately, which meant that he was still just suspicious.
But when he arrived at his destination, there was no telling whether the flesh man would take action against him.
This is most likely a road to death with no return.
So what, as long as the spider owner's location information can be obtained, it is equivalent to finding clues to deal with the spider tide.
Even if this simulation was not in vain.
After preparing themselves for death in advance, Su Hong and the two followed the meat man around, leaving Line 6 and going deeper underground from Line 8.
Three hours later, Su Hong observed the surrounding environment and found mucus and silk left by spiders on the tunnel floor.
The spider silk on the ground is fresh and active. When you step on it, it feels sticky like glue.
"Hiss, squeak, squeak..."
The faint sound of creatures screaming sounded from the front. The surrounding tunnels gradually became uneven, and the concrete was pitted, as if it had been corroded by strong acid mucus.
Looking deeper into the tunnel, a huge fluorescent cave appeared in front, with giant spiders climbing on spider webs or walking back and forth on the ground.
The numbers are so densely packed that they are too numerous to count.
"Hiss..." The spider's compound eyes shone like scarlet gems. They crawled out of the cave, ignored Su Hong and the others, and left in a hurry.
"Boom!" A huge guard spider came in front of them, its cystic abdomen hit the ground, crawled on its body, and hissed, seeming to signal them to come up.
