Chapter 285 Destroy That Tower
At night, Lake and Lena were lying on their respective small beds, and Lena turned off the light in the room.
"Didn't you sleep, Lena, let me tell you a story, I guess you won't be able to sleep now, after all, the experience during the day is too scary for you, but you have to learn to look away!" On his own small bed, he tried to comfort Lena who was on the small metal bed next to him.
But after hearing this, Lina didn't respond to Lake at all.
"Well, let me tell you a few ghost stories that are suitable for you to listen to before going to bed. Listen to some ghost stories, and you won't feel the scary things during the day. You can distract yourself and feel that ghosts are the real fear!" After Lake finished speaking, he told Lena two ghost stories in the darkest tone possible.
Lake thought about telling another one later, and after comforting Lina to let her forget the pain she experienced during the day, he should go to bed himself.
But after hearing a scream from Lina on the bed next to her, she even threw the pillow she was sleeping on to Rick.
Lake felt that it was almost done, and he went back to the pillow, only half of the third ghost story, and Lake fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Lake saw that Lena had changed her clothes, but she had two dark circles under her eyes and was still sleepy.
Lake realized that he got up late, so he had to put on his clothes regrettably.
"Morning, Lena! Get up so early!" Lake greeted Lena who was sitting on the small bed next to her.
"I didn't sleep all night. Now, hurry up and tell me the damn ghost story. What happened to the man who carried the female ghost into the cave! Also, after telling this ghost story, you are not allowed to Tell me a ghost story, or I will apply for a transfer and not live in the same room as you." Lina said.
Lake recalled the ghost story that was halfway through last night, and then finished it for Lina. Unexpectedly, Lina loved listening to his stories so much, and Lake felt very relieved.
After listening to the complete ghost story, Lina breathed a sigh of relief, lay back on her little bed with her clothes on, and went to sleep.
Lake sat on his little bed with nothing to do.
More than half an hour later, the soldiers who delivered breakfast came, left two boxes of lunch, turned and left, and locked the metal door of this room again from the outside before leaving.
"Get up and have breakfast, Lena! Husband has made a love breakfast." Lake woke up Lena who had just fallen asleep.
"Don't talk nonsense!" After being woken up by Lake, Lina started to eat the boxed lunch that Lake handed over.
After finishing his meal, Lake lay back on his little bed and slept for a while.
Now he and Lena are still in custody, and they need to wait for Ventress to declare the formalities for them before they can be released to operate in this military base.
Fortunately, after eating at noon, the middle-aged couple Ventress came, "Honorable No. 2, Dr. Lina, your identity application has been confirmed, and you are now officially appointed as external researchers of this base. I need to bring You go to your new residence in the living area."
Both Lake and Lena nodded, and then walked directly behind Ventress.
In this room, the two of them have no luggage to carry, so moving is very convenient.
Ventress took Lake and Lena to a new residence, which was a small double room in the living area of the military experiment base.
Ventress has already determined that Lake and Lena are a couple. There are still two single beds in this small double room, and the facilities are similar to the previous one. The only advantage is that you will not be locked in this living area. in the room.
There are also some public entertainment facilities in the living area, which can be used.
"This is your ID card. Keep it. With this card, you can move around in most non-enclosed areas of the base." Ventress handed Lake and Lena each an ID card, and explained how many Just leave.
Lake and Lena chose to go to the entertainment facilities in this living area first, but when they arrived, Lake found that, unlike the entertainment facilities he expected, the entertainment facilities here referred to the gym and the gun shooting range.
Three women were shooting at the shooting range with guns.
From what Lake saw, it turned out to be the three teammates of the five-person death squad.
Anja, a paramedic, Josie, a physicist, and Cass, a geomorphologist.
"You are new here, right? I heard that you live next door to us. Have you ever played with guns? It just so happens that the three of us are in a shooting game. Do you want to join us?" Cass came to Lake and Lena and asked them Invitation sent.
"I used it. How many years have I been a soldier? He doesn't know!" Lina said.
"I'm a fast learner, it's okay!" Lake said with a smile.
After a brief exchange and introduction, Lake knew that the three of them were competing to see who could shoot more accurately, and the loser was responsible for cleaning the dormitory.
Lina just took it for entertainment, teamed up with Lake, and the other three started shooting competitions at this shooting range.
But after half an hour of competition, no one played with Lake and Lena.
Lina's shooting skills are not bad, but Lake is too monstrous, no matter where to shoot, this is a shooting champion hidden among university professors!
The three-person women's team had already lost a week's worth of cleaning, and they couldn't beat Lake at all.
The three of them originally planned to win over the newcomers in the next dormitory, and asked Lake and Lena to clean their dormitories, but they all lost themselves.
In the evening, Lake and the four women went to the cafeteria for dinner, and then they took them around the military laboratory base.
Then Lake lived in this military base, and he was quite leisurely every day. For firearms training, he just got familiar with the firearms and weapons he used, and he didn't need to practice much.
In a week, Lake accompanied Lina to visit Kane, the "ex-husband", several times. Kane's condition was a little more stable than before, but he was still in a coma, and he was not completely out of danger of death.
Lena learned from Jossina that the three of them, led by Ventress, entered the Flash X area to investigate the Flash Lighthouse.
Lina then went to find the middle-aged woman Ventress, and applied to Ventress to join the eleventh batch of investigation teams that entered the Flash X area.
Lake followed suit and applied to join.
Ventress directly agreed to Lina's request to join the team. Ventress, as the leader of the investigation team, wanted to form a team composed of all women to enter the Flash X area to try.
After all, after the male mercenary squad entered, none of them came back alive except Kane, who was unconscious.
But thinking about Lake, who is a doctor of archeology, and what he said before, Ventress still took Lake to meet Josie and the three female team members.
"You have also been with Venerable No. 2 for a week, and you probably know more about him than I do. The five of us voted to decide whether to let Venerable No. 2 join the investigation team." Ventress said.
Lake looked at Anya, Josie and Cass with a smile.
Of course, this vote was by secret ballot, and soon the results came out, with three votes in favor of Lake's joining, one vote against, and one abstention.
Lake successfully joined the five-female death squad investigating the Flash X area and became the sixth male member.
Three days later, the six people carrying tactical packages and holding weapons stepped onto the small road in the flashing area of Zaze.
The moment Lake entered the flashing area, there was a prompt voice from the heavens online in his head: "Congratulations to player No. 2 Venerable, entering the flashing area. In order to resist the X area's refraction infection mutation, player No. 2 Venerable's immune attribute resistance mode is activated. .”
Then a countdown of virtual values that only Rick could see appeared above his left eye, displaying an hour of 59 minutes and 20 seconds, and the countdown value was still decreasing rapidly.
Walking, Lake compared the time and found that the time ratio of the outermost bath in the flashing area to the outside world is almost 1:2, and as it goes deeper, the time ratio is still changing, the deeper the time, the outside time The faster it passes, the more your immune attribute value will decrease.
The life-threatening countdown in front of his left eye inevitably made Lake speed up his pace, and tried to make the five-member team also speed up with him.
In the flashing area, the strange scenery, those crystal-like trees and the brightly colored ground make Lake feel so beautiful in it, even more beautiful than the original natural scenery on the earth.
Walking in the flashing area, the deeper you go, the more blurred the concept of time. With 190 days left in the countdown to the countdown in Lake's left eye, a team of five women and one man passed through the outermost bathing area and entered the grassland , arrived at a farm first.
The walls of the wooden houses on the farm grew colored moss, like the enlarged tissue cells.
The team was going to relax here first, and Lake activated the sharp eye skill and found a big crocodile in advance.
The head of this big crocodile has mutated and grass has grown.
"There are crocodiles, be careful!" Lake warned the five female team members in advance.
The crocodile with grass on its head quickly crawled over, intending to attack Lina.
The crocodile was shot dead by several people after the continuous gunshots of "Ping Ping Pong".
Physicists Josie and Lena, wearing gloves, opened the mouth of the dead crocodile for sampling.
"Go on, don't rest!" Lake suggested to the five female team members.
These days, Lake has vaguely become the leader of the team. After all, with his piercing eyes open from time to time, he can detect danger in advance and give an early warning.
Ventress, the middle-aged female captain, also tacitly accepted that Lake would be the team leader. Ventress had no intention of being the captain before, but there was no better candidate.
The team continued to move forward, and several attacks from infected mutant creatures were neutralized by Lake. Lake discovered that there are more dangers here than shown in the movie.
Lake looked at the unusually lush forest today, and couldn't help feeling the urge to stay here forever because it was so beautiful. Fortunately, Lake quickly shook his head and expelled the idea of laughing proudly in the woods.
"Not good! Although this flashing area can't infect my body, it will affect my thinking. I have this idea. The five female members in the team will be affected more deeply! No wonder the movie They will have infighting, before entering this flashing area, several female team members get along very well, it stands to reason that there will be no infighting, their thinking is affected by this flashing area." Lake thought.
After discovering this situation, on the way, Lake began to tell stories to the five female team members. Lake told the five female team members loudly: "The reason why people can live is because they have hope and belief--"
Lake, who already had the experience of being a savior, began to forcibly pour chicken soup into the five female team members.
The six-person team continued to advance in the flashing area, and followed the map to the area where the flashing lighthouse was located.
At the 149-day countdown to the immune attribute value in front of Lake's left eye, the team finally arrived at the room where the tenth team left the whiteboard in the movie.
See the iconic standing whiteboard, and the list of members of the tenth team drawn on the whiteboard.
Lake at least confirmed that his team did not go wrong.
Entering the flashing X area, all compass and positioning devices are on strike, and you can only look at the sun to confirm the direction every day.
When Lake is on his way these days, looking at the countdown days in front of his left eye that are gradually decreasing rapidly, he can't help feeling a little worried. If he goes the wrong way and doesn't arrive at the flashing lighthouse within 200 days of the external time, he will be trapped in this dungeon world forever .
Fortunately, seeing the whiteboard standing in the room today, Lake finally showed a smile on his face.
Several female team members began to search the room, and An Ya, a medical nurse, found an information memory card on the table in the room.
Anya took out the video camera she was carrying, inserted the memory card and started playing the video inside.
Lake was called over, and followed five female team members to watch around the camera in Anna's hand.
In the picture recorded by the memory card, a male team member is leaning against the corner, his upper body clothes are open, and a creature like a big bug is wriggling under the skin of his stomach.
The male team member screamed in pain. A team member next to him was holding a dagger and wanted to perform a laparotomy on him to remove the large worm in his stomach.
The belly of the male team member was cut open, and the picture of the memory card ended here.
After the five female team members watched, their expressions became more serious, worried about their situation.
"It might be a fake prank, don't worry too much." Medical nurse Anya said.
"Men can get pregnant too, you just treat it as a caesarean section, don't worry." Lake also tried to comfort the five female team members.
But hearing what Lake said, the faces of the five female players became even uglier.
Several people began to search the building. In a swimming pool without water, a soldier's body was found leaning against the wall.
The soldier's stomach has been ruptured, his body seems to be fused with the wall, and his neck has been extended by more than half a meter. His body is close to the wall, and there are many colored blood vessels growing sporadically, and the image is magnified many times The organization of tumor cells is like a big tree growing against the wall after being fused with the human body.
A female team member found the ground in front of the human tree's corpse. It was really the dagger. This dagger was the same as the dagger in the memory card video I watched before, and the incision position on the stomach of the 'human tree' corpse was also the same as in the video. Same.
"My God, that's true!"
"In the flash zone, the genes in the human body are being changed by the special environment here, and the creatures have gradually lost their original genetic characteristics, and the genes of all species are reintegrating." Lina said.
Lake looked at the team members whose emotions were starting to become unstable, and decided to let the five female players stay away from here as soon as possible.
"Let's go to the tower outside this building to spend the night. Let's go, it's getting dark. Rest early tonight, and continue on our way at dawn tomorrow."
Lake immediately led the five female team members out of here and climbed up a tower outside the building.
Originally, several female team members wanted to take turns to watch the night, but Lake stopped them.
"Our tower is so high, close the door, you don't need to watch tonight, I will sleep by the door, I will get up if there is a situation!" Lake said.
In the movie, Lake remembered that a female member of the vigil tonight would be dragged away and eaten by the mutant black bear who came to attack.
In order not to reduce the size of the five-member women's team, Lake felt that it was safe enough to stay on such a high tower, and even if the black bear came, he would not be able to climb up.
The five female team members who had just been frightened nodded in agreement with Lake's decision.
At night, in the middle of the night, Lake really heard the cry of the black bear below.
Lake came outside the tower, activated the skill of sharp eyes, and directly shot a few precise bursts, blowing the head of the mutant black bear, and then Lake went back to the tower and continued to sleep.
After dawn, a group of six people continued to move forward.
The closer to the area of the flashing lighthouse, the more serious the environment and animal mutations are. On the pasture of the farm, there are several standing stalkers. These are grasses that grow out of human-like shapes after the plants are assimilated by human genes.
Lake also saw many twins along the way.
Two little roads with flowers on their heads, two green rabbits, these twin animals have one characteristic in common, the action and frequency of each pair of twin animals are the same.
"The avatar skill reward I got is probably a similar avatar, I hope this avatar can be well controlled!" Lake thought to himself.
Fortunately, there was no attrition in the six-person team. With Lake pouring several kinds of chicken soup every day, the five female team members did not have to hide in the woods or fight among themselves.
However, for the five female team members, Lake discovered that their bodies had begun to mutate due to the infection of this flashing area. On their skin, some of the long grass armored from the blood vessels to the outside, and some of them also began to squirm slightly under the skin.
In order to increase some auxiliary combat power for himself when he reached the lighthouse, Lake began to equip the five female team members with shadow word skills in turn every day while they were sleeping, and restore their bodies.
Although the shadow word technique can't completely cure the infection mutation, it can at least slow down the speed of the five female team members' infection mutation.
The team continued to move forward, walked across the grass, and began to march along the seashore in the direction of the lighthouse.
On the 73rd day of the countdown in front of Lake's left eye, a building that seemed to be split in a different space, covered with gray lighthouses resembling tumor-enlarged cells, appeared in front of him.
Lake immediately led the five-person team to speed up. On the sand outside the lighthouse, there were five human corpses kneeling. They faced the lighthouse, as if they were making atonement.
"Take the gun and the white phosphorous incendiary bombs. Victory is in sight. After entering, follow my instructions. Destroy this lighthouse and everything will be over." Lake said to the five team members.
After speaking, Lake kicked open the gate of the lighthouse, activated the skill of piercing eyes, and led the five-member female team to enter.
A camera is placed there, and there is a burnt corpse against the wall opposite. In the innermost part of the lighthouse hall, there is a small cave that leads underground like the entrance to hell.
Lena wanted to see the camera.
"Before you watch, be mentally prepared." Lake reminded kindly.
The camera was turned on by the curious Lena. In the picture, Kane sat in the corner, said a last word, then detonated the white phosphorus grenade and burned himself.
"Ah! Isn't Kane back? He was treated in the laboratory base!" Lena exclaimed in disbelief.
The other four female team members also watched the man in the video who was treated and rescued in the military laboratory.
Several people looked at the burnt bones in the corner again, feeling a little terrified and weird.
"Lina, the one who went back is no longer your original 'ex-husband', he is a clone created by this flashing lighthouse. Simply put, your ex-husband is no longer that ex-husband, but my lover is still your lover .” Rick said.
"Kane is Lena's ex-husband?" A female team member said in surprise.
"Stay here and guard. When you see the door open and creatures come in, shoot and throw white phosphorus incendiary bombs immediately. Don't hesitate. I'll take Lina down to this small cave to have a look." Lake said, pulling his mind Lina, who was still in a daze, got into the lighthouse hall, the entrance of the green cave.
"Calm down, Lena, Kane is dead, but you and I are still alive, if you want to get out alive, if you want to prevent this world from perishing, you have to destroy this place." Lake pinched Lena's arm and put her wake.
In the depths of the cave, Lake saw a red stone standing in the deepest part. It should be the meteorite that dropped the lighthouse from outer space three years ago.
There are many dark green plants growing around the meteorite.
Suddenly, an old man in rags stood up from behind the meteorite, and there was an extra old man here than in the movie.
The old man got up and stood in front of the meteorite, holding a book in his hand, which seemed to be a Bible or some other theological book.
"I've been guarding the lighthouse for decades, and I can't let you destroy it!" The old man who guarded the lighthouse said, looking at Lake and Lina in front of him with empty eyes.
"Old man guarding the tower, in fact, you should retire and go home to rest. You are so old, you shouldn't work anymore! I have to destroy this tower today. If you stop it, I don't mind destroying you too." Lake said Then, under the observation of the golden eye skill, the strength of the tower guard old man turned out to be silver intermediate level, and the book in his hand was also a weapon capable of issuing silver intermediate attack power skills.
Lake thought, this old man guarding the tower should be the final boss of this annihilation dungeon, the level is the same as before he came in.
However, after more than half of Lake's physical attributes are divided, he is only at the black iron level, and he can't beat this old man recklessly.
"You don't have the power to destroy my tower, and the soul who wants to destroy the lighthouse will be punished by God!" The old man said, and he was about to open the book in his hand, and it seemed that he was about to activate his skills.
"There are people above me, and I will also be punished by God. I can make this place disappear in an instant." Lake said with a very confident smile. He has already located the position of the meteorite at close range, and he feels that he is about to complete it. This copy is up to the task.
Lake activated the main gun summoning card of the Titan battleship, and positioned the three-meter radius coordinates of the main gun strike on the red meteorite in front.
But in the next second, as the prompt sound from Zhutian Online rang in Lake's ears, Lake was completely dumbfounded.
"The long-range strike coordinates of the Titan battleship's main guns have been positioned, and the main guns will arrive at the battlefield in 30 minutes. Players, please get ready."
"Your sister, thirty minutes! Why did you arrive so slowly!"
