Chapter 111 110. Biohazard King-kong

No man is an island of his own, isolated from the rest of the world,

Everyone is part of a vast continent.

If a wave washes away a rock,
The world will be reduced.

Like a promontory that loses its corner,
Like losing a piece of your friend's or your own territory.

Every death is my sorrow,
Because I am a member of the human race.

So ask not for whom the bell tolls,

It sings for you!

-John Donne, For Whom the Bell Tolls

------------

As Li Aoz and Du Zexin entered the elevator, the movie ended here.

Lu Run sat beside the monitor blankly, but the cold floor made him feel extremely sober.

Is this really a game?
From Nomi to Qiu Ran, to Li Oz, and even Jane, Anna and members of the Subway Brotherhood, each of them is lifelike, as flesh and blood as a real person.

When he saw Qiu Ran's emotional breakdown twice, and finally being unconditionally sent to the subway by Li Aoz, the "ruthless murderer", Lu Run felt that he was no longer watching a game plot alone.

Everyone is truly alive. For their own beliefs, they crawl forward numbly and with all their strength, and run the marathon while vomiting blood. This heavy sense of reality made him feel physically uncomfortable for a while.

"Damn, Qiu Ran is so cute, I declare her to be my wife!"

Compared with his mood swings, Luo Le, the straightforward old man, immediately said excitedly:

"Did you see that girl is really interesting, she looks soft, she is a simple and honest silly elder sister, but she is more sensitive and delicate than anyone else, needless to say? This is the best candidate for a daughter-in-law! Looking for a marriage partner in the future You have to choose this."

"Okay, okay, I know you like red hair with a single ponytail. You don't need to advertise it everywhere."

Xue Nian shoved the other party in disgust:
"You guy, didn't you see the way Qiu Ran looked at Li Aoz? First of all, I'm not La Langpei. Although Qiu Ran didn't say a word, her eyes were full of dependence. And her unconscious little movements—— —Hey, secondly, I’m not a mate, but if a girl doesn’t really like and trust her, how can she keep tucking in the other’s clothes and leaning on her from time to time? Finally, shit, I’m not pretending, I’m just La Langpei, Qiu Ran x Li Aoz, it's unreasonable not to be together."

Luo Le glanced at his colleague with contempt:
"What age is it that you are still using traditional CP (couple, couple matching), don't be stupid, where does love come from in the capitalist world? To put it bluntly, this kind of virtual character is just for the players to enjoy, maybe it's not good. I have to be criticized for 'male gaze' and 'stereotype', so it's better to have something real."

"You're thinking about a mess of yellow waste, shut up, we're live."

"It's not that you got into the drama too deeply first. To put it bluntly, this plot is indeed written quite realistically. I enjoyed watching it."

"Wait a moment."

Lu Run calmed down and suddenly realized a problem:
"Brother Luo, Brother Xue, if Li Aoz and Du Zexin work together, it should be easy to deal with that 'Professor', right?"

"do not know."

The two replied in unison.

"……what?"

Lu Run was at a loss:

"I think Li Aoz is already very fierce, and that Du Zexin is also very strong. He is still at the Beta stage (β, the second Greek letter). According to the previous statement, the main occupation of the Beta stage NPC should also be 40." level? Dealing with that 'professor' should be easy, right?"

"Not necessarily. NPCs are different from players. They may be a few levels lower, but they can go up first. It's strange—but actually, when you think about it, many people in the real world are like this too—their strength on paper is very boastful. Powerful, in fact, one poke reveals the truth."

Xue Nian said naturally:
"Players are different. We have strict conditions for promotion, and the NPC's class has water, so we don't necessarily."

"Back to the question just now." Luo Le explained: "The two NPCs, Li Aoz and Du Zexin, must have some moisture in their class, and the two strangers may not necessarily cooperate with each other tacitly."

"What's more."

He tapped on the display screen of Mingji Humanity, and the dazzling array of experimental projects and the labels of [installed] made him feel heavy unconsciously:

"...That professor, although I don't know the specific situation. But look at this—just these items that are obviously beyond the frost-plated intellectual class, plus Li Oz's description, I am afraid it will not be lower than the Beta stage. It’s hard to say who wins and who loses.”

"What are you thinking? Li Aoz is still wanted and is alive and well. He must have crushed the professor."

Xue Nian rolled his eyes:
"Did you watch it as a TV series? Still thinking about guessing the plot of the next episode?"

"Don't say it, it's really... Don't you too? You are the one who empathizes and empathizes the most. Damn, you have the nerve to talk about me."

Luo Le flipped through the video files, and there was nothing related to Li Aoz in the video files left by Mingji.

"Tsk...the ones here are useless."

He curled his lips and kicked Lu Run who was sitting slumped on the ground:
"Let's go, brother photographer, let's go to the lower floors to have a look. These are the progress of completing the task."

"Ah."

Lu Run got up, he saved the video file, backed it up and prepared to go back and edit it.

The battle between Li Aoz and Du Zexin can easily give people the impression that [Mutant] is better than [Mechanic]. As a publicity material, he was attracted by Li Aoz and planned to enter the [Master] department. Players can probably have a basic judgment.

"With a little editing and a couple of cool lines, you can point out the identity of the instructor of the [Master] department—just do that, and the effect of the promotional video will come out in no time."

Lu Run thought so in his heart, but he always felt irritated.

I really want to see the plot behind Li Ozi!
The details of the game and the complex images of the characters are too real. The more you watch the plot, the greater the stamina. Lu Run subconsciously immerses himself in it.

Luo Le and Xue Nian cleared the way ahead, and they didn't feel terrible when they occasionally saw charred corpses.

Lu Run walked through the room covered with rotting bones, which used to be the place where Li Aozzi indulged in killing.

They thought Li Aoz was cruel before, but now they think Li Aoz is too gentle.

For the anti-human existence of Mingji, no matter how cruel the means of revenge are, it is kindness.

"Oh, isn't this the ICU!"

While searching, they found the place where the killing started, and there are not many intact corpses to be seen here.

"The body of Sister Nordry has indeed disappeared."

Xue Nian pointed to the corner of the wall, where there were burnt charcoal residues, which should be the traces left by Qiu Ran's Ao Neng.

"Strange, it stands to reason that Azure Star has no magic, so is there any use for corpses?"

Luo Le muttered.

They left the ICU and rummaged all the way, but found nothing. In order to find related videos of Li Aozzi, they had to go down to the lower floor.

"Oh, the elevator is broken."

Luo Le tried to hack into the elevator, but unexpectedly found that the entire elevator had fallen to the bottom floor.

Xue Nian checked the steel cables. Three of them were broken, and there were obvious signs of corrosion at the break, but there was another one that was intact, except for some strange slime residue.

He simply took out the electric elevator, hung it on the steel cable, and carefully dived into the dark abyss one by one.

"Don't you want to throw a light stick or something?"

Lu Run asked, he was a little afraid of the dark elevator shaft.

"I didn't buy it, it was only 50 meters anyway, and the elevator fell to the second floor—what, are you afraid of heights?"

"A little—"

boom!
Luo Le raised his foot and kicked directly on Lu Run's ass. The strong wind blew across his face, and Lu Run screamed. A few seconds later, he fell deep in the elevator shaft, and a steel cable pierced his lung.His whole body was almost broken, and the severe pain almost made him pass out. His life value bottomed out, and he entered a near-death state on the spot.

laugh--

Xue Nian and Luo Le got off the rope one after another. Xue Nian complained about Luo Le's recklessness, then gave Lu Run a shot of healing potion, skillfully bandaged his wound, and didn't even bother to straighten his bones, so he patted his ass and left.

Lu Run sat on the ground blankly, feeling the pain for a while, and curiously stuffed back the bone that had come out of his body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh?"

After the excruciating pain, Lu Run jumped up directly. With the increase in blood volume, the fractures and pain on his body were relieved or even almost disappeared. After the wound healed, his life value stopped dropping.

"Huh. Scared me to death, I almost died."

"Damn it! What the hell is this?"

"Hey, brother photographer, come and take a look at this! This is absolutely shocking!"

Luo Le and Xue Nian yelled in front, Lu Run patted his heart and limped to keep up.

"I'm coming!"

The second floor of the Netherworld is filled with the smell of burning, the electricity has been completely cut off, and it is completely shrouded in darkness.

Lu Run proceeded cautiously in the dark. Fortunately, his psychological quality has improved a lot now. When he touches severed limbs, skulls and internal organs, he will only feel his hands twitch, and he will not feel sick.

He faintly felt a little strange—is the sensory system of the game "Star Abyss" done too delicately?
When he touched the corpse with his fingers, he could even feel the squirm of muscle ulceration and corruption. This kind of horrifying detail made him unable to help but conjecture:
'Is the support of "Star Abyss" from all countries in the world to cultivate the people's ability to adapt to fighting and violence? '

A long time ago, when virtual games were considered electronic poison, people regarded games as a scourge. Later, when the virtual world matured, one by one wanted to join it.

If, just to say if, "Star Abyss" is not a simple game, but a real world——

impossible.

Lu Run immediately denied this idea.

Not to mention how much contribution the discovery of a real electronic world has made, the discoverers themselves can win prizes and get soft hands-their almost immortal abilities and identities of these players are completely inconsistent with the understanding of a normal world.

But isn't this too real...

The images of Qiu Ran, Nomi, and Li Aoz passed by his eyes one by one.

'Are they alive? '

With this in mind, when he was about to get close to Luo Lexue Nian, Lu Run tripped over something and fell to the ground.

"Ouch - sorry! I'm so stupid!"

Lu Run quickly got up and apologized to Luo Le and Xue Nian who were standing there blankly.

However, the two did not reply to themselves.

Lu Run raised his head and followed their gazes.

The snow-white flashlight was shining in front of him, allowing him to see the huge things filling the entire field of vision and the underground space.

It is like the dusk of the old gods, radiating despair and ugliness into every inch of the air with its teeth and claws. The gnarled flesh and blood gather together like thousands of earthworms and poisonous snakes, forming a burly figure, and it is almost impossible to describe each other in words. body shape.

It looked like a giant, but if it was a human being, Lu Run couldn't feel the slightest resemblance from him.

Not only that, but what he felt was a horror that was hundreds of times more terrifying than corpses and monsters.

From the deepest part of the genes, the memory of 'death' and 'natural enemies' was instantly awakened. As an ordinary person, he couldn't resist this kind of physical discomfort and fear, and fell to his knees instantly, as if prostrating himself in the fallen world In front of the gods.

"what is this?"

Xue Nian murmured absently.

Luo Le supported his forehead, he turned on the cognitive filter, and then he recovered, activated the [investigation] system of the prosthetic eye plug-in, and then saw the other party's true identity:

【Name】: BOW—— Baio King Kong (dead)
[Level]: lv.60 (before his death)
[Class]: Gamma level (γ, the third Greek letter)

"This is the fucking research result of the professor—"

Luo Le lost his voice:
"Bio's King Kong—Biochemical Colossus!"

　I have something to do today, and I will restore [-]D tomorrow
