Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 128 Entering the Tower
The roof of Building No. [-] of Scenery Family.

The line of sight here is very good. The height of the 100th floor is about [-] meters. You can see the two landmark buildings in Xiancheng from a distance. Although the International Trade Building is taller than the TV Tower and occupies a larger area, it is not as good as it looks. It is the vision of the TV tower that is more shocking.

The spire of the TV tower goes straight into the clouds, and the mysterious plant is in the middle of the four highest cubes. Its thick stem grows in a spiral shape along the spire, and there are five or six huge leaves on the top, each of which is four feet long. Five meters long, the tip of the tower sticks out from the stems and leaves, like a needle inserted in a plant.

Looking down from a high altitude, this plant that grows at an altitude of hundreds of meters really looks like a rich tree.

The sun shines on the top of the tower, the dark green leaves seem to be coated with a layer of fluorescence, and the blood vessel-like veins emit a slight blue light, with energy flowing in them.

Cheng Xi pulled the drone's lens back to normal level, and controlled the drone to go up silently.

"This plant is really like what Yu Qingming said, it is a magnified fortune tree. Old Fan, can you see the one over there clearly?"

"Yes, the one of China World Trade Center grows in the middle of the tarmac on the top of the building. It has eight leaves. It really looks like a rich tree." Lao Fan didn't dare to let the drone descend, and only zoomed in on the camera. I took a few glances.

Cheng Xi took off the flying glasses and glanced at the phone screen in Shen Yiqing's hand, then put on the glasses again and said, "The plants on both sides are of the same kind, but the one in China World Trade Center is bigger than the TV tower and has more leaves."

Shen Yiqing looked at the veins on the leaves that were as thick as a thigh, flowing with blue light, and the veins on the leaves were particularly conspicuous. She frowned slightly and said, "I think it seems to be absorbing sunlight."

Cheng Xi nodded in agreement: "That's right, it seems to be performing photosynthesis, but what it releases should not be oxygen, it may be aurora."

Lao Fan said: "Well, it's really interesting, but have you thought about a question? Where did this plant come from? Although it looks like a fortune tree, it can't really be a fortune tree, right?"

"Brought by the beast?" Cheng Xi also felt strange.

"Although it is correct to speculate according to common sense, how did they bring them? Are they contained in the mouth, or are they hidden in the stomach and pulled out?"

"Hey... Uncle, can you stop being so disgusting?" Shen Yiqing protested.

Lao Fan didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The ones in the library of Tongli University look like mushrooms, but the ones here are rich trees. The difference is too big, and things related to polar beasts are all weird."

Cheng Xi said: "That's true, but the boss will figure it out, he should be here soon, right? Why didn't I see him?"

Shen Yiqing secretly prayed in her heart: "I hope everything goes well this time."

So far, everything is going well for Li Xun and Daju.

Going to the TV tower this time, Daju hugged his thighs tightly and wanted to follow him, not only because it had sworn, but also because it found that Cheng Xi had a lot of dried fish in his backpack.

Li Xun welcomes Big Ju to follow him, and just needs his help.

One person and one cat all the way to the south, the road was quite smooth, not only did not see a polar beast, even only three or five groups of zombies were encountered, most of them were small groups of only one or two hundred.

The only large group of zombies they encountered was at the entrance of a middle school, and they went around directly.

When approaching the TV tower, Li Xun became more and more careful. The winged beasts on the top of the tower, as Cheng Xi said, seemed to be arranged for a shift, and they would circle around a few times at regular intervals. They were more defensive than when they left in the morning. tight.

Some blind spots that cannot be seen from the top of the tower can be seen clearly by the pterosaurs hovering in the sky.

It took Li Xun more than ten minutes to quietly enter the burned-out Fengqing Street.

Almost all the buildings along the banks of the river were empty shells, devastated, black smoke was still rising from many places, and a layer of black ash was floating on the river surface.

Although it is closer to the TV tower and easier to be spotted by winged beasts, under the cover of thick smoke, Li Xun easily found the energy ball placed here last night.

After leaving Fengfeng Street, he came to the Maternal and Child Life Hall at the entrance of Lancheng Community, and used all the more than 3000 units of genetic energy on hand to make hunting knives.

The deformation and reshaping of the spiny fin, that is, the metal armor, consumes a lot of energy. When making an arrow, it takes two hundred units of genetic energy to make a small round hole at the bottom of the spiny fin, let alone a large item like a hunting knife.

But Li Xun didn't have that much energy, so he had to be flexible. He followed the pattern of a hunting knife, starting from the handle and shaping it upwards. The handle and the blade were all made hollow, saving more than half of the materials. Even so, he only finished it. One-third of the entire hunting knife.

The handle of the knife was completely shaped, but the blade was only fifteen centimeters long, and the front end was made into the shape of a sword point, more like a single-edged dagger with a light head and a heavy foot.

The edge of the blade is also unremarkable, swarthy, without a trace of light, unremarkable.

Although the completed semi-finished hunting knife looks strange, its power is not bad at all.

The same material, whether it is forged or forged, has a much worse effect than molecular-level shaping, and the objects made by molecular-level shaping are no different from natural ones.

Li found a shelf and tried it out. The semi-finished hunting knife cuts gold and jade, which is extremely sharp. Cutting an iron frame is like cutting tofu. He tried it with a few scales, and it was also easy to split to deal with extreme beasts. No problem at all.

Since the production of the double thorns of the hunting bow, it can be said that he has made great contributions. He has killed all the way from Shanghai to Xiancheng. He has lost count of the number of extreme beasts and zombies that died under the double thorns, including a second Wait for polar beasts.

However, the double thorns are long-range weapons. It is an advantage to shoot and kill polar beasts safely and efficiently at a distance. Start making hunting knives.

The hunting knives from the same source as the hunting bow, one long-range and one short-range, are the most effective weapons against extreme beasts in hunting experience, and in the multiplayer cooperation experience of hunting third-class extreme beasts, hunting knives are the main force.

From the appearance alone, the overall shape of the hunting knife is somewhat similar to that of the Yanling knife, but it is shorter than it, more like an elongated dagger.

In fact, Li Xun has long wanted to make a hunting knife out of metal armor, but the lack of genetic energy has always been a big problem. Even making a castrated hollow hunting knife would cost tens of thousands of energy, and the energy consumed by a complete solid hunting knife is probably Gotta double it.

Although it hurts to spend so much energy, and the sixth evolution is only [-] units of genetic energy, it is worthwhile to solve the problem of melee weapons.

As for the remaining two-thirds of the blade, it can be completed after entering the TV tower. The most indispensable thing there are extreme beasts and energy.

After packing up his luggage, Li Xun took Daju along the path last night from the shopping center south of the TV Tower to the podium. On the way, he entered a restaurant and killed more than 20 zombies, extracting four units of genetic energy.

Li Xun absorbed part of the energy of the aurora around the TV tower last night. After shrinking by more than ten meters, not only did not return to its original shape, but it shrank back a little. It was less than [-] meters by visual inspection.

Not only the podium building B is out of the scope of the aurora, but even the building A which is closer to the TV tower is no longer within the range of the aurora.

Li Xun observed the situation around the TV tower. There were eight polar beasts guarding the tower, and the winged beasts at the top of the tower surrounded him. If he wanted to get in, he had to force his way in.

But now that he doesn't have a hunting bow, he can't tear open a hole and rush in in a short time. Once he is entangled by the polar beast, it will be troublesome if the winged beast is attracted.

After thinking for a while, he took out a two-unit energy ball, put it in front of Daju's eyes and said, "Daju, I'll give you this energy ball, how about you go and lure those extreme beasts away?"

Daju stared wide-eyed, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Okay, you lead them over there, and you can wait for me under the bridge over there, or you can go to Lao Fan's side to know the way, right?"

Daju rolled his eyes at him and opened his mouth.

Li Xun stuffed the energy ball into its mouth, it smacked its mouth twice, narrowed its eyes and enjoyed it.

After the energy was absorbed, Da Jue straightened his chest, strode forward with four short legs, and rushed towards the polar beast under the tower, only to see an orange shadow flashing, and soon arrived in front of a polar beast.

The polar beast seemed to be taken aback by the sudden appearance of Daju, and instinctively waved its paws, but Daju turned around a dozen meters away from it, acting cautiously.

After seeing that it was a pitifully small big orange, the beast took two steps forward, opened its big mouth and bared its teeth. It seemed that it didn't want to pay attention to it, but just frightened it.

Feeling the extreme beast's contempt, Daju bared his teeth at it, and at the same time lowered his head, a slender white light shot out from the small corner of his forehead.

This is good, all the polar beasts under the tower turned their heads to stare at it, and the two closest polar beasts jumped on it, and six or seven winged beasts from the top of the tower also rushed down, and a few fireballs smashed it first down.

Daju was so frightened that his whole body fell to the ground, and his hair exploded.

"Meow……"

It let out a scream, its voice was distorted, its body bounced up from the spot like a spring, turned 180 degrees in mid-air, its limbs swiped several times in the air, and its body shot out like an arrow.

Daju jumps up and down, the speed is astonishingly fast, and afterimages appear on his body, he goes straight to the stone bridge east of the TV tower.

Two polar beasts and several winged beasts chased after them, and there was a gap in the defensive circle under the tower.

Li Xun took the opportunity to rush from his hiding place to the gate under the tower, and his speed was also extremely fast.

The rest of the extreme beasts were still paying attention to Daju who was going away. When they found him, Li Xun had rushed 40 meters to the circular island under the tower.

Several polar beasts immediately turned around and greeted them.

Li Xun slid under a leaping beast, and the semi-finished hunting knife in his hand easily pierced into its abdomen, creating a wound that was one meter long, almost ripping it open, and blood spurted out in the blink of an eye. It flowed all over the place.

The beast let out a miserable howl, fell to the ground, struggled twice, but failed to get up, and was seriously injured.

After passing through the gap, Li Xun jumped up a dozen steps, bumped into two glass doors with his body, and broke in against the broken glass.

The first floor is a spacious square hall, about 40 to [-] meters square, which looks like the main service desk.

There are two elevators in the middle of the hall, and there is an upward staircase on the left and right sides.

He turned around and glanced, and saw a few polar beasts turning around and chasing after them, and quickly ran to the left staircase, and went up to the fourth floor in one breath.

The stairs only lead to the fourth floor, which is the first cube Yu Qingming mentioned, and the restaurant where he works is on the third floor.

Further up is the second cube, but it is exactly [-] degrees staggered from this cube, until it reaches the four juxtaposed cubes on the top floor, and there are six such cubes in the middle.

The six cubes in the vertical direction have twice the area of ​​the four cubes arranged in the horizontal direction.

These six cubes are all back-shaped structures, each with four floors, and the positions of the stairs are correspondingly different by [-] degrees.

Li Xun walked clockwise from the fourth floor, and when he passed a coffee shop, he dragged a small round wrought iron table, smashed the glass curtain wall next to it with all his strength, and threw the table far away.

The round table fell into the Linli Lake with a splash, splashing a large amount of water, three or four fireballs landed on the place where the round table fell into the water one after another, and a burst of flame rose from the ground.

Li Xun continued to move forward, passed the stairs to the upper floor without stopping, turned directly to the opposite staircase, and went down again from here.

When he went downstairs, he stopped at the stairs, and heard the footsteps of a few beasts stop at the place where the glass curtain wall was broken.

The extreme beast that was chasing up looked down from the crack, and a large area of ​​water in the lake was surrounded by flames. Several winged beasts circled the lake, but no one was seen.

They quickly divided into two teams, two continued to go up, and the other three turned around and returned downstairs.

The footsteps of the two extreme beasts disappeared in the stairwell leading to the upper floor.

After arriving on the third floor, Li Xun took a look at the surrounding environment. Yu Qingming said that this is a revolving restaurant. It doesn't really rotate, but it is arranged in a circle. The three sides of the restaurant can enjoy the scenery of Linli Lake, which is unique.

The restaurant kitchen is located in the middle of this level, and the cash desk is in the middle next to the elevator.

Li Xun came to the cash desk and found a chair to sit down, took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Lao Fan.

At this time, Cheng Xi had just finished complimenting Li Xun to Lao Fan and the two.

He has been paying attention to the situation around the TV tower through the drone, especially the Fengfeng Street and Lancheng Community in the east, but he has not found Li Xun.

It wasn't until Daju jumped out from Tower A of the podium of the TV tower to lure away a few extreme beasts that he was surprised to find that Li Xun had quietly approached the tower, and he couldn't help but marvel at his elusiveness.

Shen Yiqing, who was next to her, had already connected her mobile phone to the drone controlled by Cheng Xi. When she found something falling into the water from the TV tower, she couldn't help admiring Li Xun's casual behavior of misleading the polar beast.

When Li Xun asked about the situation at China World Trade Center, Lao Fan replied: "Boss, the extreme beasts at China World Trade Center are still looking for you, but the third-class extreme beast has already returned to the first floor. The winged beasts on the top of the building are still looking for you." No unusual reaction."

Hearing Lao Fan's reply, Li Xun felt relieved for the time being. It seems that the movement on one side of the TV tower has not affected the other side, and he can continue to go up.

After waiting for a while, Li Xun didn't hear the sound of a polar beast coming down. He came to the fourth floor and came to the second cube from the stairs on the other side.

While walking along the corridor, I unexpectedly ran into three people, one of whom was an acquaintance, Yu Qingming who had just separated.
