Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

The most tragic deaths always happen in corners where no one notices. There are no violent explosions or roars, nor any shrill screams or wails.

Zhang Musi stood up, without even glancing at the jars of soy sauce that filled the cafeteria, he turned and walked out of the corridor, disappearing around the corner.

"This is not the expected number." The blind man quickly changed his shooting angles, cutting off layer after layer of inhumans that swarmed in.

The light in Zhang Qiling's eyes went out for a brief moment. Without saying a word, he silently increased the speed of his sword.

Below the Nine Springs is the Nether Spring, where the springs gather to form a pool called the Yaochi.

This is the immortal land where countless alchemists have sought immortality for tens of thousands of years. It is at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain, beneath the underworld, and in the deepest part of the earth veins.

At this moment, people may even have illusions and find it hard to believe rationally that this vast and boundless world is actually underground, with a sea that has no end and mountains that have no top.

"There is a common fragment recorded in the myths of ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. The pillar connecting the heaven and the earth broke, and humans could no longer ascend to the kingdom of God. In Han culture, it is called the Jedi Tiantong, and in the West it is recorded as the Tower of Babel. There are even similar records in little-known African tribes."

Wu Xie muttered to himself, and countless of the most ancient myths and legends surged through his mind, including the world-destroying flood, the connection between the sky and the earth, Nuwa creating humans, and Gonggong angrily crashing into Mount Buzhou...

His arms couldn't stop shaking, and he pointed to the huge mountains ahead. "So this is the Tower of Babel, the Road to Heaven, and Mount Buzhou, right?"

He didn't need a response. At this moment, he finally confirmed that every word Zhang Hailou said that night was confirmed here.

There is nothing wrong with the myth or the legend, it’s just that the direction was covered up by the Zhang family with unprecedented perseverance in the course of history.

The purpose is to prevent "God" from coming again and to stop people's desire for power.

The height of this mountain is absolutely beyond human imagination. According to scientific inference, the depth of the Moho surface under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is close to 70 kilometers, or 7 meters. In ancient times, such a mountain hidden underground, even if only a piece of rock was exposed on the surface, was far beyond human cognition.

Thinking of that inconspicuous entrance that exuded an ancient and wild atmosphere, he felt a chill in his heart. That was the node of severance. The bronze dropped by the meteorite opened the prologue of the civilization of the Sons of Man.

The distance from the underground river to the mountain does not seem far, but the difficulty of actually crossing it is unimaginable.

Putting aside the inhuman beings behind, the water alone is enough to make people feel daunted.

This is the real "weak water". According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "There is water to the north of Kunlun, which is not strong enough to overcome mustard, so it is called weak water."

The water here has no buoyancy at all. Even if you put a goose feather on it, it will sink. In other words, what fills this boundless sea is not "water" but an extremely viscous liquid.

The properties are somewhat similar to those of non-Newtonian fluids. There are a large number of fluids in similar forms in the human body, such as lymph, cystic fluid, cytoplasm, etc.

As long as one inserts a finger into the liquid in Yao Chi, any object, no matter how big, will be sucked into it under the huge shear force. The only way to deal with it is to hammer the surface of the liquid with great force, and the force-bearing surface will become as solid as a solid.

"So, I have to use the spring-step kicking technique seen in North Korean military parades to cover these several kilometers?"

This was the only method Wuxie could think of. His heart tightened. This was a journey of several kilometers and the soles of his shoes would have to be kicked off.

"Hahahaha" the blind man fired at the same time, taking the pressure off Zhang Qiling's direction, and laughing uncontrollably, as if that strange scene was appearing before his eyes.

"If you insist, I have no objection."

Wuxie was puzzled, what else could he do?

"Are you fucking out of your mind? Do you think we're robbing a grave?"

Lao Yang gritted his teeth and glared at Wuxie with disappointment.

Wu Xie didn't know why, but it was as if his IQ was suddenly stuck, he stared at Lao Yang and said, "So what do you think we should do? Now that we have come to this point, don't feel embarrassed."

"You..." Lao Yang was speechless. "Can't you just fly over there?"

"Have you drunk? How can you fly, Orleans... Shit..."

Without saying a word, Lao Yang took out two devices similar to the flying vehicles in cartoons from the backpack thrown to him by the blind man and handed them to Wu Xie.

"On your back, operate it like a remote-controlled car. The left and right joysticks control forward, backward, left, and right, and the right hand controls up and down."

Wuxie rubbed the soles of his shoes awkwardly and silently put on his backpack.

The four of them took off into the air and flew rapidly towards the distant mountains. Just when they thought that this terrifying Yao Chi would provide them with a natural barrier, something strange happened.

Countless non-human beings seemed to have received some instructions and jumped into the Yaochi one after another. In an instant, the Yaochi began to boil, and countless strange black pustule-like things exploded on the water surface, followed by sudden changes.

"Oh no, they changed the gravity field here!"

The change in the gravity field meant that the aircraft was completely ineffective. Seeing that several people were about to fall into the bottomless black pool, Zhang Qiling suddenly spoke.

"blind"

This time he didn't give the blind man a chance to answer, and turned around and took out a pistol-shaped launcher.

嘭

An extremely thin silk thread shot towards the distant mountains with great force and successfully secured itself in. However, he was also rapidly falling into the Yaochi due to the huge recoil.

The blind man's pupils suddenly widened, and there seemed to be large patches of fear in his eyes. His throat was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound.

It took a long time before Zhang Qiling's figure was seen on the churning surface of the pool. He then grabbed the two people who had fallen and pulled them back to the cable car.

"You go first."

"blind"

Zhang Qiling has returned to the shore again. With one hand he holds the rope fixed to the mountain, while with the other he swings the ancient black-gold sword. In the huge inhuman waves, his murderous figure is looming.

"You're going to go last."

"Fuck you!"

At this moment, he even wanted to give up the obsession that had brought him here all these years, and the indifferent ultimate. To him, nothing was more important than the person in front of him, not the world, not the ultimate.

"I'm fine, but they two are not."

Zhang Qiling's expression froze, and a huge force exploded around his body. The inhuman beings around him that were about to cover him were instantly bounced away, like a solid protective layer. Wherever the black gold ancient knife reached, countless lives were contaminated by the power of imaginary space and broke into pieces.

The blind man had a stern face and looked deeply at Zhang Qiling with his dark pupils. He said nothing more and pulled the two of them to run forward at a speed that was close to their physical limits.

"Wu Xie, you actually made it here alive. Tsk, there's someone else delaying things."

At the foot of the mountain, several familiar people were waiting for them.

"Qi Yu!"

"Three... No, Xie Lianhuan, why are you here, and Xiaohua?"
