Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

As the lights in the other two rooms went out one after another and the sound of even breathing could be heard from inside, a man and a cat walked out of House No. 17.

Dongcheng District is brightly lit, with tall buildings and flashing neon lights, just like daytime.

Lu Jinchao specially changed into a black combat uniform and moved through the corners and cracks where the light could not reach. Qiansui on his shoulder yawned lazily. He called up the data that had been deciphered in the background and carefully checked it. "It seems that these families seem to have a huge foundation in the empire. For some reason, they made a deal with the masked man and his men and came here. The masked man must ensure that no one can hurt them, and they provide something to the masked man. It is a mutual benefit."

"Oh, I thought there would be a few people from other countries, but it seems like they are all locals."

We walked around everyone and arrived at the riverside in the city. The colorful lights shone through the windows of the high-rise buildings in Dongcheng District, reflecting on the river surface, forming a beautiful picture.

This was Chitose's first time here, and he curiously poked his head out from under his hood to look around.

In stark contrast to the bustling Dongcheng District, Xicheng District was dead silent, and the streets looked particularly deserted at night. The dilapidated houses looked even more desolate under the moonlight, and the street lamps on both sides of the street were dim.

Lu Jinzhao did not stop here. He stepped onto the creaking wooden deck of the suspension bridge and headed back to the place he had been to last time.

"Stop! Hand over all the heads you have! Otherwise I will turn you into heads!"

A bearded man with a gun emerged from the alleys of Xicheng District and blocked the other end of the suspension bridge. He aimed a pistol at Lu Jinzhao in one hand and stabbed the bridge cable with a dagger in the other hand. If he exerted a little force, the cable would break and the people on the bridge would lose their balance and fall into the river below.

Running back is no option either. No matter how much potential a person has, it is difficult for him to be faster than a bullet.

Lu Jinchao stood still on the wooden board in the middle and tilted his head to look at Qiansui: "Will those killed by traps also be counted as the heads of the people who dug the traps?"

Qiansui scratched his head and thought for a while: "I don't know, I haven't seen it before, try it next time?"

“Don’t ignore me!” The robber saw Lu Jinzhao chatting with the pet robot on his shoulder, and fired a shot at his feet. It happened to hit the edge of the wooden board where Lu Jinzhao was standing, leaving a small charred round hole: “Give me your heads! —Where are the people?”

In the blink of an eye, the person who was originally on the suspension bridge appeared behind the man. Lu Jinzhao put the gun to the man's temple and said lightly: "Now the identities are reversed, hand over your heads."

Qiansui rushed out, snatched the bracelet from the man's wrist, and directly made a transfer operation, "Wow, I didn't expect you to have so much inventory. You must have used this trick to rob people a lot, right?"

The man was shocked at first, but soon calmed down: "I admit that I am not as skilled as you, you can take it!"

"I'm welcome." Lu Jinzhao fired without hesitation.

With a "bang", the man fell to the ground, dying with his eyes open.

"Oh my god," Qiansui was shocked: "Why did you kill him?"

Lu Jinzhao picked up the body and threw it into the river below. He pointed to a patch of skin on the inside of his left wrist and said, "He has a tattoo similar to Kappa's. Whether it's a family crest or something else, he is definitely not an ordinary slum robber."

"Hiss, it's that golden-haired guy again. Could it be that he deliberately sent someone to hinder your investigation?"

"possible."

"I'm even more curious, and I have to go in and take a look." Qiansui coiled back on Lu Jinzhao's shoulder, patted his host's face with his claws, and pointed forward: "Go, go, go!"

Lu Jinzhao put away his gun and turned in another direction: "This way."

Soon, he came to the entrance of the alley where he met Kappa the golden retriever last time. He walked to the end, looked around, and found nothing unusual.

Qiansui turned on the scanning function and checked the entire area, and finally found a secret passage under a carved wall.

Lu Jinzhao walked forward and rubbed the carvings of an unknown animal, finally touching the toes of the animal and successfully triggering the mechanism. The entire wall of carvings was decomposed into square grids of the same size and rearranged to reveal the stone steps below.

Going down the stairs, there was a smooth stone wall with neat cuts. After walking in for a while, he found that there was a bunker inside. Before he got closer, he saw Golden Retriever leaning against the door with his arms folded, as if waiting for someone.

Seeing the newcomer, Heli Kapa frowned and stepped forward, blocking Lu Jinzhao: "This is not the place for you, go back."

Qiansui was speechless: "Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"

Heli Kappa raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "You are the voice that scolded me on the phone. I didn't expect it to be a pet robot... I'm not kidding you, go back. Believe me, you don't want to know what's inside."

Lu Jinzhao was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He pulled out the knife from his waist and put it on the golden-haired man's neck: "Get out of the way."

Heli Kapa sighed, raised his hands and stepped back: "Since you guys take my kindness for granted, it seems like I'm meddling in other people's business. Watch if you want to, but don't blame me if you vomit."

"Damn idiot." Chitose turned his head and stuck out his tongue and made a face at Heri Kappa.

Lu Jinzhao glanced at Heri Kapa, ​​took out a pistol from his thigh holster, and shot him in the thigh.

Jinmao fell to the ground, holding his leg in pain, howling more unpleasantly than a pig being slaughtered. When he came to his senses and wanted to ask Lu Jinchao why he fired the gun, the man had already disappeared from his sight.

Qiansui was also very curious about why his host fired the gun. If he disliked the golden-haired guy, he could have killed him directly. Why did he only shoot him in the leg?

It has always been a good idea to ask questions directly.

Lu Jinchao did not put the gun back into the holster, but continued to hold it in his hand. He answered casually: "If it is a masked male gang inside, we can take the golden retriever as a hostage."

"Hostages? Are you afraid you can't defeat them?"

"There's an old Chinese saying that goes, no matter how good your kung fu is, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. What if someone uses a rocket launcher or a particle cannon to attack me, wouldn't I be dead?"

"What if there's no human inside?"

"If there's a monster inside, I'll use him as a scapegoat when I run away."

Qiansui exclaimed: "As expected of you, you have even thought of a way out so quickly! If the monster chases us, it will definitely not leave the little golden retriever who can't run away alone. Eat it first, and maybe it will stop chasing us!"

"But what's in it that scares him so much? It can't be a zongzi, right? Should I buy some black donkey hooves now?"

Lu Jinzhao couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that what you've been reading recently is tomb-robbing literature."

Qiansui pouted: "Don't talk like you're not afraid. I clearly remember that you are most afraid of snakes, spiders, and ghosts. Zombies are also a kind of ghost."

Lu Jinzhao shook his head slightly: "Fear usually comes from insufficient firepower."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Your fighting power is off the charts now, so you're not afraid of anything, zongzi or not."

While the man and the cat were arguing for a few words, they had already walked into the bunker. After a quick look around, they found that it was just an ordinary laboratory with dozens of large incubation containers neatly arranged.

Some yellow-green nutrient solution remained in the incubation container, but the culture that was supposed to be inside had disappeared without a trace.

Apart from that, the entire bunker hall was empty. Lu Jinzhao opened the doors of the rooms on both sides, and there was no one or anything inside, as if they had moved out before he came.

Chitose felt very strange. Why did Kappa Golden Retriever block them from entering a place that had been emptied? He used the scanning function to recheck and found that there were actually several more floors under the bunker.

Lu Jinzhao followed the scanner's instructions, found the stairs going down, checked them one by one, and became more and more frightened.

Starting from the second floor, all of them are test subjects for human experiments.

The further down you go, the more serious the human body becomes. At first, you can still tell from some of the limbs that it is a human mutation, but by the fourth floor, you can only barely tell that it is a humanoid monster.

The scene was weird, scary and disgusting, and Chitose retched repeatedly. Inhumane, heartless, conscienceless, inhuman... There are many other similar words that it can curse.

The crimes committed by the masked men's gang are too numerous to list.

When they reached the fifth floor, they looked around and saw hundreds of failed products hanging from the ceiling, staring at the stairs with empty or lifeless eyes. Qiansui was so frightened that he shrank back into Lu Jinzhao's hood. "It's so gloomy here, even if I was playing a game, I wouldn't rush in. It feels like the boss is in there, ready to make you reload the game at any time. There's one last floor below, let's go, don't stay here."

Going down to the sixth floor, the view suddenly opens up.

The area here should be larger than the previous five floors combined. There are thousands of incubation containers placed here, and there is an immature monster in each glass instrument.

There is more than one kind of monster. They all have their own characteristics, and the only thing they have in common is that they are initially humanoid.

Each one is neatly arranged together in the container, looking well-organized.

The incubator is still functioning, and it seems that they will hatch soon.

Qiansui took out a micro-bomb and attached it to the nearest container: "Let's blow this place up quickly. We can't let these monsters hatch successfully, otherwise the people in the city will suffer."

"No rush." ​​Lu Jinzhao turned around and took photos of several different monsters before turning on the computer, connecting to the main console and starting the self-destruction program of the instrument.

After the ultra-small explosion, the container ruptured and nutrient solution gushed out. The monster cubs inside fell out of the container, struggled on the ground for a few times, and finally died painfully from suffocation.

Lu Jinzhao took out from his pocket the matches he had bought to play with a while ago, held two of them in his hand, rubbed them together on the eraser strip, and threw them into the nutrient solution. After a while, the small flames spread and a blazing fire broke out in the room.

He picked up Qiansui and walked up calmly.

When he reached the fifth floor, Qiansui subconsciously took a look inside. Just this one look frightened him so much that he almost lost his soul.

"Run towards brother!!!"

Lu Jinzhao's legs reacted faster than his brain. He ran a few steps and subconsciously looked back, only to find that all the incomplete humanoid monsters that fell on the ceiling were lying on the ground with twisted limbs, crawling in the dark, staring at him with weird eyes.

Qiansui quickly threw out the miniature bomb that he had just held in his claws.

Taking advantage of his height and long legs, Lu Jinzhao took five or six steps at a time, throwing bombs as he ran, and quickly returned to the first floor.

Heli Kapa, ​​who was struggling to pupate at the door, saw him coming out and shouted, "Hey! Take me with you!"

"No!" Qiansui stuck out his tongue again: "You can just stay and feed the monster!"

Heli Kapa ignored Qiansui and focused on shouting at Lu Jinzhao: "Are you a human being? I came here to advise you with good intentions, but you hurt me!"

Lu Jinzhao turned a deaf ear to it.

Listening to the rustling noises coming from the bunker and looking at Lu Jinzhao who was gradually moving away from him, Heli Kappa gritted his teeth and said, "Don't leave! Take me out and I'll tell you the secrets in here!"

Lu Jinzhao remained indifferent and walked out without looking back.

"All right, all right, I'll tell you all the secrets I know!" Heli Kappa shouted at the top of his voice, "Take me out with you!"

Lu Jinzhao strode back, grabbed Heri Kappa by the collar, carried him on his shoulders, and ran towards the exit.

Heli Kappa was upside down with his belly resting on Lu Jinzhao's shoulder. He was staggering with every step. The bumps on his shoulder blades and acromion made him feel very uncomfortable. "Can't you just carry me on your back? If it doesn't work, I can accept being carried like a princess! I'm going to vomit if you stagger a few more times!"

"If you say one more word, I'll drag you out." Lu Jinchao would not indulge him.

Heli Kappa didn't react immediately: "Drag it?"

"I'm just going to throw you to the ground, grab your ankles and drag you along until you're skinned." Qiansui grabbed the back of Lu Jinzhao's head and kicked the golden retriever in disgust: "You're still thinking of a princess hug? You're just dreaming."

The golden retriever wisely shut his mouth.

Although he had only met him twice, he believed that this inhuman guy was capable of doing such a thing.

Running up the stone steps, Lu Jinzhao saw some surviving monsters quickly crawling out of the bunker on all fours. He threw the golden retriever on the ground and tapped the light computer with his fingertips, detonating all the miniature bombs that he had deliberately left along the way.

That amount of power is enough to kill a few monsters, and even blow the bunker up to the sky.

He pressed the carving on the wall and the secret passage closed. He punched the carving and successfully destroyed the deformation module on it, completely sealing off the entrance and exit of the bunker.

The golden-haired man chuckled twice on the ground and howled, "Hurry up and give me the treatment device! If you don't treat my leg, I will die of excessive blood loss!!"

Lu Jinzhao smiled kindly, took out advanced treatment equipment and waved it in front of the little golden retriever. Just when Heri Kappa thought he was going to treat him, Lu Jinzhao raised his leg and stepped on the bullet hole in his thigh.

The material of the combat boots was hard and tough, and it cut into the flesh and caused pain. Heri Kappa wanted to cry but had no tears: "I promised to tell you all the secrets, what are you doing?"

Lu Jinzhao pinched Heli Kappa's chin with his hands and said, "I see your bleeding has almost stopped. I can't fulfill your wish of losing too much blood, so I will help you realize it."

In order to prevent the golden retriever from dying before he came out, he avoided the upper femoral artery when shooting, making it impossible to cause excessive blood loss in such a short time.

Heli Kappa stared at Lu Jinzhao's face. "You were wearing a hood before, so I didn't notice it. Now I see that you look pretty good."

Lu Jinzhao sneered and let go of his hand, "You look like a beast in human clothing."

Chitose made a retching motion: "You masochistic pervert, don't get involved, it's bad luck!"

"Tell me, what do you know?"

Hri Kapas thought for a moment: "I don't know where to start."

"Then start from the beginning."
