Cataclysm King

  Chapter 152 A-level plot

   Ji Xun's team of ten people walked towards the dark depths of the research institute.

  Currently it is a C-level plot difficulty.

   According to the intelligence, the strongest monster that appeared was only a first-order A-level disaster, so it is not a big problem.

  But because there is no second-tier card master in the team, it seems that there is no backbone, and the other eight players seem a little resentful.

  No one would think that a Tier 1 mechanic would be the guarantee to lead them through the customs.

   But because it is now in team mode, others have nothing to say.

  Dong Qi also felt the strange cold eyes sweeping over him from time to time, which was very awkward.

  I wanted to explain something.

   After all, only she knows that she is not the strongest in the team.

   It was Ji Xun.

   In terms of combat power, this guy is much stronger than ordinary second-tier card masters.

   But after taking a look at the extremely indifferent expression, Dong Qi didn't say anything, and walked all the way beside Ji Xun.

  Ji Xun walked all the way, observing the surrounding environment all the way.

  Although the information has already marked in detail most of the space layouts that this underground research institute has proven.

   But he wasn't careless either.

  All the clues obtained now may be the key to breaking the game.

   After walking for a while, he also found that the Titan Mechanical Research Institute is a very conventional underground research institute.

  There are thick concrete walls on all sides, which belong to the indestructible space rule category.

   There are also some mechanical doors, as well.

  This is the first floor of the research institute, and the entire underground building generally presents a "Y" shape.

  The three teams are each in a corner of the corridor, and there will be many laboratories on the way.

  Finally, they will meet at the central control room.

   There is a passage to the basement.

  The lights in the passage flickered on and off, and there were some noises made by unknown monsters in the darkness.

  Walking all the way, there are also some bloodstains in the corridor, and some corpses of creatures that have been eaten.

   Not long after walking, this team came to a huge oval space.

  This is like an office for the staff of the research institute.

   Various archives and broken instruments are scattered everywhere on the ground.

  The surrounding walls are covered with thick explosion-proof glass. It looks a bit like a viewing compartment of a zoo. It seems that there were some monster experiments in it.

   But now, the glass is full of cracks and damage caused by the huge impact, and there are black blood stains everywhere on the wall.

  Ji Xun'er Guo moved slightly, his eyes looked at the dark place with a faint blue light.

  His keen hearing made him realize that a monster was attracted.

  However, he didn't have any abnormalities, but was very interested in the scattered materials on the ground.

  Walk all the way, just pick it up all the way.

  Look, it's all Talun ancient language.

  The will of space has not been translated, which means that this is not the key to breaking the game.

   It is only a decorative item and cannot be taken out.

   Moreover, these documents cannot be understood by non-ancient text experts, and there is no mention of them in the information obtained before.

  But Ji Xun can roughly understand it.

  「Experiment number #102-6, this time the subject tried to connect the brain tonic nerves and machinery of the red-haired ape, the rejection of the subject was very obvious.」

  「Experiment number #115, the research on 'artificial muscle fibers' has been initially successful. After replacing the gastrocnemius muscle in the leg of the No. 8 experiment subject, three days after gaining a super strong bounce, the experiment subject was deformed and died.」

  「Experiment number #1191T, the subject tried to fuse the mechanical heart」

  「.”

  Although there are some technical terms that he can't understand, it doesn't prevent Ji Xun from knowing roughly what the laboratory is researching.

   "Mechanical prosthetic technology?"

   Ji Xun looked thoughtfully.

   I also understand why there are so many living monsters in the 1981 Research Institute that studies machinery.

  He was thinking about the problem in his mind and ignored others.

   But in the eyes of other players, this behavior is a bit pretentious.

  These files are ancient Tarun scripts dating back thousands of years, and even the most knowledgeable paleographers in the Federation may not be able to understand them.

  In the eyes of the hunters, this behavior is a waste of time.

   Without having time to think about it, other people also discovered something at this time.

  The man with the hooked nose was the only normal first-level card master in the team. He noticed the movement and exclaimed: "Be careful, the monster is coming!"

   After saying this, even Dong Qi became nervous.

  She is not wearing the unique Gunnir Orgin battle armor, but another ordinary mechanical exoskeleton that she designed herself.

  As soon as the monster came out, he raised his hand and took out a one-person-high ammunition box from the storage ring and hung it by his leg. At the same time, with the rattling of the mechanical bones and the sound of gears, the six-wheeled Vulcan cannon behind the shoulders also turned.

   In this scene, watching the other eight teammates swallow enviously.

  This is the first time they have seen such sophisticated and high-end mechanical equipment.

   Without thinking about it, a group of ugly deformed monkeys suddenly appeared in the distance.

  They are tall, or have tentacles on their bodies, or barbed long tongues in their mouths, or various sarcoma. In short, they have all kinds of strange and deformed appearances.

  As soon as they appeared, everyone pulled the trigger immediately, and the dense gunfire of "da da da" rang out.

  The man with the hooked nose also acted as a temporary commander, drinking non-stop.

   "Hit the head! Hit the heart! Otherwise you won't die!"

   "Be careful with those corpses, they are not dead!"

  “.”

  These monsters are all deformed from the red-haired apes used in the research institute's experiments. Most of them have the combat power of card master apprentices, and they can be killed by firearms.

  Ji Xun didn't contribute much, and only occasionally saw monsters breaking through the fire blockade, so he used a large-caliber pistol to make up two shots.

  Dong Qi's performance was very eye-catching.

   "Keng" "Keng" "Keng".

  Two six-round muskets were emitting blue light, and the metal shell casings kept beating on the ground, and quickly piled up into a hill.

  With such a high rate of fire, even without aiming, it is difficult for monsters to break through the firepower net.

  Her firepower alone suppressed almost the entire team.

   With such an ultra-violent output, not long after the first wave of monsters rushed out, they almost turned into a pool of flesh and blood.

  The battle ended quickly.

   It took just a moment, as if the monster stopped.

   Quiet was restored in the huge underground laboratory.

  The other eight teammates looked at Dong Qi with weird expressions.

  They thought that there would be a big loss if there was no second-tier leader in the team.

   Looking at it now, it seems that this mechanic is not bad?

  Which eldest lady, is it okay to experience some hunter games?

  Dong Qi noticed those gazes, but he didn't know why.

   But Ji Xun looked at the corner of his mouth with a slight smile.

  He knew why those other people had such weird expressions.

  Because even with such ample ammunition, ordinary hunters would not dare to consume it like this.

   The style of play just now is indeed efficient and neat, but it is purely using money to smash monsters.

   The ammunition consumed is absolutely not proportional to the harvest the monster can bring.

  This is fundamentally different from the hunter's idea of ​​taking risks to seek wealth.

  But after thinking about it, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and even thought it was a surprise.

  With such a "Miss Fool" who has never been to a different dimension space, their loss will be even lower.

  Ji Xun didn't say much.

  Bringing Dong Qi in this time, she has to understand something by herself.

  The first wave of monsters was killed in this way, and the hunters also went to those corpses to find some low-level extraordinary materials.

  Ji Xun walked over and used the feast skill in the pile of corpses.

  His Feast has reached Lv3 now, the area covered by Devour is large, and the efficiency is extremely high.

  He was contained in the corpse, absorbing the power and extraordinary characteristics of hundreds of monsters around him like a whale.

  However, because the monster's grade is too low, there are not many attributes to be improved.

   And Ji Xun didn't come here for these monsters.

  His eyes fell on the pile of corpses, one head was beaten into two sections, but it was still struggling on top of the monster.

   Squat down and check.

   "Undead characteristic."

  Ji Xun looked at the rapidly recovering corpse, with doubts in his eyes.

  Generally speaking, such low-level monsters are not undead creatures, so they should not have this "undead characteristic".

  But unfortunately, the monster in this laboratory has it.

   You must explode your head or heart to kill it.

   And Ji Xun could clearly see that after the limbs of these monsters were smashed, the extraordinary characteristics of distortion spilled out uncontrollably.

   Thinking hard to no avail.

  He tried to touch the monster with his hands, feasting on these overflowing characteristics in a targeted manner.

  A magical scene happened.

   This monster, which was still struggling just now, gradually seemed to be drained of vitality, and then died.

  Heart and head are still intact.

   "Is that so?"

  Ji Xun saw something here, and already understood something.

   If he guessed correctly, the high-level plot difficulty of this space, the breaking point is here!

  As long as the monster's "undead characteristic" can be restricted in a targeted manner, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

   For Ji Xun, these out-of-control extraordinary characteristics are all devourable!

  The most important point, he speculates that the undead characteristics of these monsters are most likely caused by the mysterious pollution source of the 1981 Research Institute.

  For a while, Ji Xun combined the known information and thought of many possible follow-up plots.

   And his action of studying the corpse, in the eyes of others, is another weird behavior.

  Even Dong Qi felt very puzzled, and couldn't understand what there was to study about these corpses.

  Currently it is C-level difficulty. Normally, as long as you clear the monsters all the way, deal with a more dangerous first-level disaster, go to the core cabin and close the passageway from the first floor to the second floor, the level will be considered clear.

  However, they did not come in this group of people just for the C-level difficulty.

  When everyone was clearing up the battlefield and loading ammunition, suddenly enlightenment appeared.

  「The confidential archives room on the second floor of the Titan Research Institute was discovered, with an exploration rate of +15%, and second-order catastrophe-level deformed creatures have been quietly lurking in the darkness. B-level task trigger: take the file lockbox out of the research institute.」

  Seeing this enlightenment, everyone's expressions immediately became dignified.

  B level difficulty, the current death rate is close to 70%.

   That is to say, normally, seven of their ten-member team would die.

   Even group destruction.

  However, this difficulty has been passed before, and there are mature strategies.

  Before coming here, it has been agreed that they can choose not to go to the second floor of the research institute, and the danger will be greatly reduced.

   Only Ji Xun looked at it, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

  Ordinary second-order disasters are not particularly threatening to his current strength.

  But when you think about the equipment and staffing of the Iron Hands hunters before, the purpose of those guys is probably not just to clear the level B difficulty.

   And now it can be seen that the advance speed of the other two teams is much faster than theirs.

  Ji Xun became more and more sure that those people might have some information unknown to outsiders.

   But it doesn't matter.

  Thinking of the uncertainty he was about to face, he felt that this different-dimensional space was starting to be interesting.

  The difficulty of the plot was raised to B level, and the atmosphere of the team instantly became tense.

   But in this space, you need to kill monsters and complete the plot to get high settlement rewards.

  Even if it stays on the first floor, it is best to clear up more monsters.

   Now that they haven't killed a few monsters, everyone can only bite the bullet and move on.

   Not long after walking, the second batch of monsters appeared.

   There are still some deformed monkeys, but this time, there are disaster-level monsters among the monsters.

   It was a tall blood gorilla more than five meters tall, with red hair and fangs, full of blood, almost reaching the ceiling of the corridor.

  【Corrupt Giant Demon Ape King】

  Detailed explanation: First-order A-level disaster; the abyss rift ape king eroded by mysterious pollution, possessing terrifying power, physical defense and immortality;

  Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the lingering blood.

   Seeing this monster, the expressions of the rest of the team changed drastically.

   This is the most difficult monster that can be encountered on the first floor of the research institute in intelligence.

   I didn't expect their team to be so unlucky, so they ran into it directly.

   The first-level A-level disaster, the real combat power has crushed most second-level card masters, and it has the undead characteristic, which makes it extremely difficult to kill.

   "Damn it, it's actually this A-level disaster!"

   "Be careful, everyone, don't be approached by monsters!"

   "Ordinary bullets are useless, use magic bullets and bombs."

  “.”

   These words are not true, but for Dong Qi, the main output.

   You must know that the price of a piece of special ammunition is nearly 10,000.    Ordinary hunters don’t say they don’t have many, even if they do, they still have their own thoughts at the moment, and don’t use them if they can.

   The team kills monsters together, but the ammunition is your own, and it will be gone when it is consumed.

   This is the disadvantage of the wild team.

  The team members do not have any basis of trust among each other, and they fight on their own.

  Dong Qi's character is straightforward, listening to these words, there is not much ink.

  She took out a special ammunition box, loaded it with a click, and burst out a special flame.

  Ji Xun only observed the few teammates in the team who were clearly thinking carefully, and then looked at the money-burning style of play, raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

   Not even ready to help.

   Just put a cold gun aside.

  Although he brought Dong Qi to the different-dimensional space this time.

  But it is impossible to bring it every time in the future.

   In some cases, she needs to know how to deal with it.

  The [Giant Corrupted Demon Ape King] already has some wisdom, and its own attributes are too strong.

  Even the damage of special bullets is very limited.

  As soon as the monster emerged at the end of the passage, it led a group of mobs rushing all the way.

high speed.

   And after rushing through the straight corridor, it actually started to move flexibly!

  The speed is so fast that it is difficult for Dong Qi's trajectory to catch up.

  Even though it was beaten with holes everywhere, it was still alive and well. It rushed all the way to the team's defensive camp with firepower, and with a "boom", it crashed into the ten-man team's defensive formation like a truck.

  Dong Qi was fearless, gave up the six-wheeled cannon, and directly pushed up the mechanical arm. The steam boiler chugs, and he didn't lose the wind in the wrestling.

  She alone withstood the most dangerous A-level disaster.

   Ape King is a purely physical attack, and the risk is completely controllable.

   Not a big problem.

  Ji Xun still has no intention of helping.

   Instead, he looked at the monster's wounds and pondered in his heart: "It's strange that this undead characteristic is not a healing ability, but a pure energy support?"

   After careful observation, Ji Xun also found some clues.

   Moreover, the danger is not limited to this giant ape. His gaze scanned the darkness and narrowed slightly.

  He smelled something dangerous hidden in the darkness.

  Furthermore, the number of monsters by visual inspection is much more than what is said in the information.

  There is obviously something wrong ahead.

   It's not hard for Ji Xun to guess, maybe those guys who went to the second floor used some means.

  The team of ten started fighting with the group of monsters.

  Although Dong Qi resisted the ape king, the others had poor strength and equipment, and it was very difficult to deal with the tide of mobs.

  Finally, casualties still appeared.

  The moment a guy's gun jammed, he was knocked down by a monster, and then drowned in the siege of dozens of monsters.

   "Oh, save me! Save me!"

   There were endless screams.

Seeing this, Dong Qi felt that his teammates should reach out to save him, so he pulled away from the pull. Several explosions were heard, and several high-power miniature missiles landed on the ape king. It exploded.

   As soon as the green flames rose, the huge body more than five meters high was blown out.

   This scene left several other teammates dumbfounded.

  Dong Qi rushed over and scattered the pile of monsters.

   But that guy has been bitten all over his body, most of his neck has been bitten off, blood is gushing like a spring, and he can't survive.

  Dong Qi frowned as he watched, suddenly the machinery of his arms creaked, and the muzzles of the two large-caliber guns suddenly accumulated pressure.

   This is the "Hagrid V" military steam nozzle improved by herself through some ancient mechanical drawings, and its power is stronger than the top products on the market.

   After accumulating energy for a long time, she snapped the trigger towards the monster Chaoguo in front of her.

  With a bang, ultra-high-pressure steam spewed out, and a large area of ​​minions suddenly exploded into blood mist, splashing all over the ground.

   Cleared out a large number of monsters, and the pressure on the other team members was instantly relieved.

   But at the same time, those few people also saw Dong Qi's increasingly outrageous equipment, and their eyes froze: No wonder he was not assigned to the second level, this guy is so strong?

   But the monster has not been killed yet, so it is not time to rest.

  Dong Qi shook her arms, and the alloy mechanical sword was also thrown out, and then she rushed towards the ape king alone.

  Dong Qi used the mechanical equipment at the bottom of the box, so it was no problem to deal with the first-level disasters.

   Not long after, the seriously injured [Giant Corrupted Demon Ape King] was caught in the mouth by the muzzle, and several micro-missiles blasted his head.

   Calamity’s death also declared the end of this crisis.

  The extraordinary characteristics gathered on the corpse, forming a shiny muscle.

  Ji Xun walked over, and while devouring the extraordinary characteristics, he also stripped the muscle and sealed it in the containment card.

  The crisis was resolved, and everyone's eyes fell on the shimmering silver muscles.

  A-level disaster, produced this very good silver material.

  But compared with the ammunition consumed by Dong Qi, the value is probably not much more.

  Ji Xun didn't intend to share at all, so he just put away the materials.

  Looking at his behavior, the other teammates' expressions were not so good.

  Silver material can be valuable.

   Desperately exploring, all for money.

  If you don’t ask for it at this time, it will be more difficult to ask for it later.

   Finally couldn't help it, a green-haired young man immediately said: "Hey, that, this silver material. We should also have a copy."

   This is a peaceful mode, and he is not afraid of his teammates violently killing people.

  According to the intelligence, if they only explore the first floor and kill this disaster, the biggest crisis has been eliminated.

   It doesn't matter if you tear your face.

  Out of the different-dimensional space, who knows whom?

  Dong Qi watched silently from the side.

  She vaguely guessed that Ji Xun hadn't made a move before, as if he had other deep meanings.

  Seeing the greedy look in these guys' eyes at this moment, she seemed to understand.

  Ji Xun glanced at the man, and said lightly: "This disaster was killed by my friend, and it has nothing to do with you."

  Lvmao was choked by this, cunning flashed in his eyes, and asked: "It's okay? My friend is dead, you say it's okay?"

   This guy just saw Dong Qi not hesitate to spend a lot of valuable special ammunition to save people, so he already concluded that this guy is a fool who he thought had a good heart.

   Open your mouth and you might get some benefits.

  Ji Xun saw through this guy's little thoughts, and said lightly: "Oh. So?"

  The green hair looked furious: "You obviously have such powerful mechanical equipment, why didn't you use it earlier? You have to use it if you want to kill us?"

  Dong Qi also had a slightly different expression when he heard it.

  To be honest, this is true.

  If she had fought with all her strength, she probably wouldn't have died just now.

  But she also always felt that being held on a moral high ground made her very uncomfortable.

  But I don’t know how to argue.

  Ji Xun said unceremoniously: "We brought the equipment, and the ammunition consumption is also ours, and we didn't let you share it equally. I use it as I want, why should I listen to your advice?"

   It is normal to explore dead people in different dimensions.

   It's the wild team again.

  Everyone is strangers who have nothing to do with each other, not bodyguards with any responsibility.

   They are only responsible for their own lives.

  Everyone is a veteran hunter, everyone knows this truth.

  But apart from Lu Mao, several other people also wanted to share the spoils, but no one said anything.

Seeing that it was not easy to fool around, Lumao looked annoyed and turned into anger, and turned to talk about other things: "It's really **** unlucky, if you don't tell me in advance if you have so many high-end ammunition, isn't it harmful?! If it is the Kesen regiment If we were in a team with them, we wouldn’t be so passive just now. Now my friend died in the battle, but we don’t have our share of the spoils? Hehehe. Do you think it’s reasonable?”

   It looks like tearing your face apart, but this guy is really shrewd.

  The implication is that the uneven distribution of teams is a problem that you conceal. Now that my friends are all dead, it's because you have the ability to not do your best, so you have the nerve to take the spoils all by yourself?

  If Dong Qi were alone, maybe he would really offer some compensation because of guilt, and even contribute more later.

  However, Ji Xun seemed to hear something ridiculous, and asked back: "Hehe, your friend?"

  In the battle just now, two people were killed and three were injured.

   This is still under the circumstances that Dong Qi has superior combat power and has held off the A-level disaster all by himself from the beginning to the end.

   Otherwise, more people will die.

   These guys are not only not grateful, but now they come to make these moths.

He said, glanced at the guy's waist from the corner of his eye, and said, "If I'm not wrong, the gun on your left waist is also filled with magic-breaking bullets? If you could spare the ammunition before and shoot , your so-called friend will not die either. So, tell me, why don’t you shoot yourself, and blame us now?”

  He had been observing these people before.

   This green hair used that gun when he saved his life, but the so-called friend was about to die, but he didn't fire it again.

  This is very ironic.

"you"

  Lvmao's privacy was violated, and he immediately fell from the moral high ground, his face flushed for a while.

  Dong Qi already understood something after hearing this.

  Ji Xun even felt that it was a waste of time to explain to this kind of person.

  Since Dong Qi understood, he didn't intend to waste any more time.

  After all, the real drama should begin.

  Ji Xun glanced at several people, and said in a deep voice: "One more thing. Do you know why you can survive until now?"

  He sneered, and said something that surprised everyone: "It's not just because my friend fought regardless of the cost. It's also because I'm here."

  As soon as these words came out, not to mention the other people's faces turned cold.

  We are alive thanks to that female mechanic.

   But what does it have to do with you, a guy who fishes all the time?

As the first rank in the team, Hooked Nose said: "Your Excellency, don't you still want to attack us? I'm afraid you have forgotten that this is a peaceful mode. Besides, we have no grievances with the two of you. We can discuss the spoils and so on." , not so"

   Now that the adventure is not over yet, he is also somewhat afraid that the other party will tear his face.

"hehe."

  Ji Xun interrupted with a sneer, without any explanation at all.

   In the bewildered eyes of everyone, he suddenly became violent.

   Slamming on the ground, his figure left a series of afterimages on the spot, and then made a brutal charge towards the wall.

   There was a muffled "boom", as if it had hit something on the way.

  Ji Xun slammed into the wall, and then several people saw clearly that he knocked out an invisible monster like a monkey from the void.

  【Blood Shadow Scythe】

  Detailed explanation: Tier 1 B-level calamity; a monster once transformed into an assassin card master, good at various stealth assassination techniques;

  After the shadow was knocked out, others including Dong Qi realized that there was always a disaster-level monster watching from the side.

  Everyone panicked for a moment.

  The disaster of the assassin system is still B-level!

   If you really want to sneak attack, the second-tier card master will be a fatal threat.

Huh.

   No, there is no such monster in the information.

   Where did this come from?

  However, before everyone could figure it out, Ji Xun slammed the monster against the wall, and then he built up his inner strength with a punch [Two Extreme Collapse], hitting the monster's head like lightning.

  Only hearing a "bang", the watermelon burst, and the wall was scarlet.

  Everyone was shocked by the sneaking monster just now, but in a blink of an eye they were stunned by the **** scene in front of them: Killed a B-level disaster with one punch?

How can this be? !

   Their heads seemed to slow down for a moment before they transformed the bizarre scene they saw into a shocked expression, which surfaced on their faces.

  This strength is truly terrifying!

  At this moment, they only realized it later.

   It turned out that the uneven distribution of teams was not the real reason for that female mechanic.

   But this mysterious master who can kill first-order disasters with his bare hands?

  Hooked Nose and the others had cold sweat on their foreheads, and instantly understood the meaning of what they just said.

  If it weren't for this person to lock down the assassin-type monster, it probably would have assassinated it long ago.

  The people here, no one can survive!

  Lvmao looked at the monster whose head had been blown off, and swallowed violently.

  Headshot with bare hands, which is much more visually impactful than killing monsters with mechanical bombardment.

   It is easy for such a master to kill him.

  He immediately regretted why he stood up and talked out of greed just now.

  Ji Xun ignored the intentions of these people, killed the monster, greeted Dong Qi not far away, and the two walked towards the depths of the research institute.

   With a hooked nose, they all looked at each other.

  Actually, Ji Xun and Ji Xun did not need to stay in the team from the beginning to the end.

  Before waiting so long, I just wanted to wait and see what the other two teams wanted to do.

  And just now when Ji Xun saw the disaster [Blood Shadow Scythe] that had never appeared in the information.

  He guessed that those guys might have triggered some new plots.

  Dong Qi is still reminiscing about the previous conversations, if he has realized something.

   chatting while walking.

   "Don't care about those people?"

   "Hmm. They won't survive."

"ah?"

   "If there are no accidents, the A-level difficulty should be triggered."

  “.”

  Hearing this, Dong Qi was also very surprised.

  Ji Xun couldn't explain it clearly, because most of it was guesswork.

But coincidentally, not long after he said this, all the people in the institute saw a new piece of enlightenment at the same time: "The laboratory hatch on the third floor of the institute was opened, the degree of exploration +35%, the security of the institute The system is triggered, and all exits are locked. The A-level task is triggered: investigate the source of the laboratory pollution leak, after surviving for five days, rescue will come.”
