Cultivation till the end of time

Arthur comforted the other party. He misunderstood that the other party was panicked when he heard that he could not leave the town.

By the way, I asked my question, "Don't get excited. First, tell me when you were arrested and taken to the research institute? And for what reason?"

After hearing this, Houston calmed down a little and recalled, "If I remember correctly, it should have been the day after you two left the base.

At that time, Pike said he was going to catch prey and arranged for me and a few people to go there.

Then we fainted for some reason halfway through, and when we woke up, we were in the dungeon. "

It turns out that they were caught so long ago. No wonder he clearly saw Houston when he was still at the base.

Arthur asked uncertainly: "Then you still don't know that the town and base are surrounded by forests and oceans. The only way out was also smashed by meteorites?"

Houston said without knowing why: "I know, but what does that have to do with us being inseparable?"

Arthur knew it was impossible not to know, but he just asked this stupid question.

What Houston said sounded very ambiguous.

In addition, Arthur and Louis only knew that they could not leave the town after they left the base, otherwise they would not continue to stay in the town.

Houston only heard that we can't leave, but he didn't hear clearly the previous sentence of 'there is a safe route'.

He exclaimed because he knew a way out. That's why he was so surprised when Arthur said he couldn't leave.

Arthur answered: "Then do you know that there are mutant beasts and Wendigos in the forest, and it is impossible to leave here."

Houston said what he discovered, "But there is still a way to leave. At that time, several companions and I saw Pike walking that way."

This time it was Louis and Arthur's turn to show surprised expressions, and they shouted in unison: "What?"

Houston shrank back, startled by their reaction.

Arthur asked anxiously: "Can you tell me more about that road?"

Houston nodded, recalling the events of that day.

“One night, a few other people and I went outside to use the toilet.

Seeing Pike leaving sneakily, we followed him out of curiosity.

We saw him entering a house that had been vacant for a long time before the apocalypse. We waited outside for a long time, but he didn't come out. Finally, we plucked up the courage to get closer and check.

When we looked inside by the window, we discovered that Parker was not in the house at all, so we boldly entered the house to check.

Until they found the entrance to the basement, they found that the door there was ajar.

Because it was too dark in the basement, I accidentally touched something and heard the sound of stones rubbing against the wall.

Then someone accidentally fell into a hole. The companion was not seriously injured and said that there was a passage below.

We followed in and found out there was a passage leading to other places.

Later, everyone moved forward while holding on to the wall. After walking for more than ten minutes, they saw a door.

Only when light shines through the crack in the door can everyone discover the door.

The door can be opened from the inside, but you have to use a key to get in from the outside. This is something we discovered after we opened the door.

The place where the door exits, if I read correctly, should be near the research institute.

The buildings there are different from the base and the town, and they are easy to recognize at a glance.

I thought it was the end when I got there.

The light coming from the open door made one of the companions discover that there was another road that turned in another direction.

At that time we didn't want to go any further for fear of being discovered that we were there.

He was also afraid of running into Pike on the way, so he retraced his steps back to the base and pretended that he hadn't discovered anything. "

Arthur concluded, "It seems you have been discovered, otherwise we wouldn't have captured you all in the end."

At some point, Duoduo and the others had already sat back on the chairs in the pavilion, listening to the conversation.

Duoduo also took out a large handful of melon seeds and cracked them there. Several others also grabbed a handful and ate them together.

Apart from the chatter over there, the only sound left was the 'click' sound of them eating melon seeds.

Arthur ignored the melon-eating behavior of the unscrupulous big guys over there and continued to ask.

"Did you encounter anything that was different from others in the research institute?"

Houston was a little confused when asked, "What do you mean?"

Arthur asked more carefully, "Have the researchers injected you with any liquid or done any experiments?"

Houston looked like he suddenly realized something, and he was trembling with fear as he recalled what he had experienced.

His voice was a little hoarse as he said, “When you put it this way, it sounds like they captured everyone individually at one time.

I don’t know what the researchers did to the others. I think they were injected with a tube of unknown liquid. "

After hearing Huston's words, Duoduo guessed that the key point should be the injected liquid.

It seems that I really want to look through the research materials when I have time, and maybe I can find the research records from that time.

Arthur dutifully continued to help Duoduo ask, "Did you feel any changes in your body after injecting the liquid? Did you feel any discomfort?"

Houston continued to answer honestly: "It seemed like I didn't feel anything, but I saw other people being sent back and they looked like they were in pain.

There were only a few people who showed slight discomfort, and they were all arrested again by the researchers.

When I saw them being treated like this, I naturally pretended to be in pain. "

Duoduo can probably guess the reason. It should be that they were injected with some kind of drug. The proportion of ingredients may be different, so their reactions are different.

However, this is just a guess, and you have to check the research records for details.

Duoduo signaled to Arthur that he didn't need to ask any more questions, and Arthur stopped interrogating him.

But he didn't ask questions, and Houston still had many questions to ask.

"How was Ruth when you last saw her? Did she pass away peacefully?"

Arthur felt very embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not. Before he could figure out how to answer, Louis had already answered it for him.

"Stop talking, except for you, everyone is dead."

Arthur also wanted Louis to stop talking, didn't you see Houston's face turning pale? Wouldn't it be a good-natured deception?

He had no choice but to add some explanation to let Houston know the truth.

"In fact, if they continue to live, they will only become Wendigo. It is also the best choice for them to leave like this.

You don’t want to see Ruth being like a Wendigo, devouring her own people without emotion, right?

If you feel guilty, live on with your thoughts on her and live the rest of your life well for her, which is the best reward for her.

Besides, since we burned down the research institute, she should be able to turn into the brightest star in the sky to protect you. "

Duoduo also has to give him a thumbs up. He is so eloquent. Not being a salesman is really a waste of talent.

Seeing the big boss Duoduo's recognition of him, Arthur gave her a shy look, but Duoduo was so disgusted that she had goosebumps all over the floor.

I thought to myself: Since when did the painting style of these two people become more and more abnormal?

After hearing what Arthur said, Houston seemed to have figured it out and was no longer so depressed.

His mood changed, followed by hunger. As soon as a sound of thunder came from his stomach, everyone knew what was going on.

Duoduo also felt that he had not done a good job and actually forgot to feed him.

So he took out several plates of food from the storage ring and asked Houston to sit down and eat.

Houston was so hungry that he didn't care about anything else when he smelled the delicious food. He walked over and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

But he never used chopsticks, and he couldn't use chopsticks to pick up food or eat. He was so anxious that he wanted to grab it with his hands and eat it.

Seeing him like this, Duoduo patted his forehead and remembered that foreigners couldn't use chopsticks.

So I changed the spoon for him, sat aside and helped him pick up the food, and quickly finished the food on the table.

Even when Houston saw the food appearing out of thin air, he was indifferent. All he thought about was food.

He didn't care where the food came from. It was rare to have hot food that was so delicious, so of course he just had to concentrate on cooking.

I'm afraid that if I eat slowly, the food will disappear.

That night, Duoduo also used the same method to make Houston eat the poison pill, so that everything he saw from now on would rot in his stomach.

He just felt a little uneasy, fearing that the poison pill wouldn't be effective on him, after all, his body had been transformed.

With the encouragement of Louis and Arthur, Houston also cooperated with Duoduo and directly picked up the poison pill and ate it.

Arthur later explained to him why they all took the poisonous elixir. After hearing the explanation, Houston gradually felt relieved and no longer bothered about taking the poison pill.

He would take the poisonous elixir so readily. Arthur and Louis encouraged him and said that they also took it and it would have no effect at all, so he took it directly.

Anyone who hears it being said to be a poisonous elixir will feel a little uncomfortable.

But no one wants their secrets to be leaked. This can prevent betrayal. Houston understands Duoduo's approach.

Anyway, as Arthur said, as long as he doesn't tell the secret, the poison will never attack.

The next day, in order to see the difference between enhanced humans and ordinary mutants, Duoduo asked Houston to join the team to capture mutant fish.

Still the same, let Arthur give a demonstration, and then let Houston follow them to fish together, no, to destroy the mutant fish together.

They were not fishing. The mutated fish they caught were so badly injured that they could still eat them.

During the days when Houston was in coma, Louis and Arthur practiced the fish-killing methods taught by Duoduo sleeplessly and finally succeeded before Houston woke up.

But they were so happy that these days were simply not a human life.

Apart from eating well, the rest of the time was allocated to fishing and taking care of Houston. Basically, neither of them got much rest.

Last night, Houston was awake and Duduo was happy, allowing them to have a good sleep.

Thanks to Houston for waking up in time, otherwise they would really collapse from exhaustion and die in the fish's mouth.

Duoduo has taken good care of them, only letting one or two mutant fish get close to the edge of the boat at a time, while the rest are blocked out by the full array.

If they couldn't catch one in this way, Duoduo really doubted how they had hunted mutant beasts before.

Moreover, formation disk refining is not cheap. Being able to use the formation disk on them, isn't this considered taking care of them?

Fortunately, it was only the first time that they seemed clumsy, and they got better after that.

After Arthur's complacent demonstration, he handed the long sword to Houston and asked him to step forward and try it out.

I thought Houston would end in failure like he and Lewis did.

Who knew that the scene in front of them made both of their eyes almost pop out of their eyes.

Houston recalled Arthur's actions just now. He raised the knife and stabbed the mutated fish to death quickly, using his quickness and accuracy to the extreme.

Duoduo pushed aside the stunned Arthur and Louis, stood in front of Houston and asked: "How did you feel when you took action just now?"
