I Was Once a Legend

The transparent worms paused, and then gnawed on the giant worm even more frantically. The blood of the giant worm seemed to be poisonous. Some transparent worms were unable to fall after touching the juice, but more worms emerged one after another, endlessly.

The yellow lines are intertwined in the field of vision, and the young man's figure shuttles through them, and every stroke can hit the vital point. The second leg, the fifth carapace, the left tentacles and pincers fall off one after another, revealing the flesh firmly protected by them. The transparent worms swarmed up, as if they were going to devour it directly!

Too many ants can kill an elephant. Although the fighting power of each small insect is not high, it still makes it difficult for the giant insect to parry. It is too big, but there is nothing to do with these small creatures. Crazy rampage in the test field!

Dong Zheng hit its degenerated compound eyes with one shot, and Cui Zuojing struck while the iron was hot, and directly stabbed it into the wound!

This knife broke into the largest ganglion of the worm's brain—or the brain. After 3000 years, it has been polluted by biochemical agents and has evolved a "brain" that did not exist before.

Chongzi's body froze suddenly, and he fell to the ground while struggling desperately.

The whole body of worms is controlled by ganglia. They are covered with countless ganglia. Compared with only one brain, they can make decisions faster, just like flies and cockroaches can survive for several days after being decapitated, until they starve to death. .

But the size of the giant worm is so large that the ganglion of the giant worm is no longer enough to control the body without a head. The giant worm has been thrashing about for a long time but has not been able to stand up again, which is obviously out of control.

The countless transparent insects on its body slowly disappeared, and Wang Que fell straight down without making a sound.

Dong Zheng hurriedly ran over to help her up while dripping with water. The little girl's eyes were closed tightly, her lips were blue, apparently unconscious.

"I fainted from excessive use of abilities." Cui Zuojing flicked the green blood on the knife, came over to take a look, and said, "It's exactly the same as when you were in the Labyrinth of Time."

Dong Zheng picked up Wang Que and saw that the giant worm was still struggling for the last time, stirring up the green water, so he ignored it, and said in a low voice, "Go, find Hangzhi and the others!"

The communication channel is full of the voices of Dong Linhai and Lin Hangzhi. It sounds like they are going through a big battle. Just as Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng kept rushing towards the direction where Lin Hangzhi disappeared, a voice suddenly came from the communicator. The sea shouted: "Grass! I caught it!"

Dong Zheng hurriedly asked: "How is the situation!"

Lin Hai didn't care to answer, the channel was still extremely chaotic, after about half a minute, it finally gradually quieted down.

Panting heavily, Lin Hangzhi said half-deadly: "It's okay, kill it...it should be."

"Damn it." Dong Linhai cursed, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "We're at the door of the second room on the left, is your side okay? Where's Que'er?"

"She passed out, so I'm going to find you guys." Dong Zheng said quickly, the worms behind him were not honest, and they didn't want to consume any more energy, so they could only leave as quickly as possible.

Who knows what will happen later, let's save our energy.

When meeting Linhai, Lin Hangzhi was stepping on the steps where the steps were not submerged and looked down at the trouser legs of his protective clothing. Seeing that there was no damage, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

There must be many other bugs in this water, maybe there are bugs that parasitized Allen. If it really breaks, with his ugly luck, he will definitely die here.

At the foot of Linhai lay the horrific corpse of the worm, apparently stabbed hundreds of times with a knife and then shot to death. The worm was like a squid, with several thick and long tentacles with barbs. To be honest, the one that has mutated can no longer be seen as an insect, but is full of Cthulhu's meaning.

After making sure that everyone is safe, they dare not stay here and continue to set off.

Wang Que lost consciousness, so he could only rely on Dong Zheng to lead the way completely according to the structure diagram of the institute. He didn't know whether there were bugs in front of him or how many bugs there were, so he could only rely on his intuition.

It seems that the giant worm just now is the most dangerous place on this floor. Dong Zheng chose the shortest path from the stairs, but he didn’t encounter any particularly troublesome worms. He used his ability to give Cui Zuojing To provide the convenience of fighting, Dong Linhai and Lin Hang's firepower suppressed, and the journey went smoothly.

Going down another staircase to the fourth basement floor, after going through many obstacles, they finally came to the door of the main control room. Dong Zheng used the authority card to open the door. After learning that he needed to enter the key, he thought about it and put the Insert the U disk obtained from the download into the usb interface.

There are only so many props they have obtained so far, let's give it a try.

A green light came on the door, and then it slowly opened in front of everyone.

It really is!

Only at this time, Cui Zuojing really felt that this is indeed the difficulty that a Samsung box should have.

With the victory in sight, everyone was shocked, and they walked into the main control room one after another, but they were still tense. The door closed automatically behind them to block the danger outside. Dong Zheng activated the console and used the authority card to enter the menu interface, just like in the military base. Find the option to transmit a signal, just like the operation.

The system reminded him that he needed to press the corresponding button to proceed to the next step.

"The corresponding button?" Dong Linhai was puzzled, "Have we encountered any prompts in this regard?"

"No." Dong Zheng thought for a while, and casually pressed a blue button that he thought might be.

Immediately, an error message popped up on the screen, reminding him that he still had two more chances, and if he was wrong both times, he would have to wait an hour before trying again.

Lin Hangzhi was shocked: "Can it still be like this? Normally, shouldn't it be locked after three mistakes?"

"So that's it." Cui Zuojing nodded thoughtfully, "The button prompt for this should be hard to find, otherwise we wouldn't have given us a chance to try and experiment. I successfully found the main control room, why is the time limit 72 hours, sure enough, the box can’t deliberately leave us so much remaining time.”

"Since it can be tested..." Dong Zheng turned to look at Lin Hangzhi, "Hangzhi, you come."

"I'm coming?" Lin Hangzhi pointed to himself a little surprised, then reacted, oh, and walked to the console.

Thinking about it carefully, this setting is simply tailor-made for his ability.

He slowly scanned the dozens of large and small buttons on the stage, dripping with cold sweat.

This is too difficult!

Dong Zheng put his hand lightly on his shoulder at this time: "Don't worry about it, we still have nearly a whole day, even if we try one by one, we can try it once."

Lin Hangzhi nodded, he took a deep breath, stared at the control panel, emptied his mind, and left everything to his intuition, or instinct.

Everyone waited quietly, not daring to vent their breath, for fear of disturbing Lin Hangzhi. Ten seconds later, Lin Hangzhi suddenly looked to the left, raised both hands at the same time, and pressed the two buttons in the middle and left.

Just a beep, the button lights up dimly, and the screen jumps to the page where the signal was sent.

Lin Hangzhi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly stepped aside, far away from everyone. He was tense, always paying attention to his surroundings, and was ready to deal with retribution that might appear at any time.

"Both should be pressed at the same time?" Dong Linhai couldn't help cursing, "If it wasn't for Brother Hang's ability, who would have thought of it? Even if you try one by one, you can't try it at all."

Cui Zuojing frowned slowly, touched his chin thoughtfully, and looked at each other with Dong Zheng, seeing a bad guess in each other's eyes.

"Send the signal first, and talk about it when you get back," he said.

Dong Zheng quickly edited a distress signal with the same content as when he was at the armament base, and sent it out. The progress bar on the screen moved forward slowly, and reached 3% after 100 minutes. In the nervous eyes of everyone, the words "send successfully" popped up .

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The countdown in the upper left corner of the field of vision stopped at 23:57:12, and the "Send a contact signal to immigrants outside the department" in the main task gradually disappeared, and became "Leave the Biochemical Research Institute and wait for the exit to open."

The screen gradually dimmed due to no operation for a long time, Dong Zheng checked his oxygen level, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

They didn't get to leave after completing the main storyline as they had imagined. They still needed to get out of the Biochemical Research Institute and return to the vast snowfield.

The distress signal breaks through the atmosphere at the speed of light and shoots into the vast space. It will reach the Proxima Galaxy in four years. Maybe it will be captured on the way, so that people here can save a few years of waiting, and maybe it will be missed—because no one Know what happened to humans who took a spaceship to an alien galaxy 3000 years ago.

Maybe they successfully settled in the target galaxy and continued human civilization, maybe they encountered some accidents halfway and settled on a spare star, or... they have already been buried in the vast universe, and the hope left by mankind is Only the sleeping people in the underground bases in various regions are left.

Dong Zhengwu suddenly remembered the sentence in "Border Town"——

Rescue may come tomorrow, or it may never come.

The entire planet and the future of mankind are shrouded in mist, everything in the past has been buried under ice and snow, and the future is so confusing.

But no matter what, as pilgrims, they have completed all the tasks of this journey, and the rest is to wait for the exit to appear.

He finally successfully cleared another box, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement in his heart. At that time, six people came in together, but now, there are only five left.

Although they knew that everyone in the box was at risk of dying and leaving at any time, but when it really happened, few people could accept it calmly.

Dong Zheng couldn't help thinking of Cui Zuojing. At that time, the young man tried his best to comfort himself, but he didn't show any sadness.

He didn't know if it was because Cui Zuojing was used to seeing life and death parting, or...his feelings were naturally indifferent than ordinary people?

Dong Zheng glanced at Cui Zuojing calmly, the young man pursed his lips slightly, and was looking down at the broken piece of Tang Dao.

Lin Hangzhi stayed in the corner nervously for a long time, but he didn't find any signs of imminent disaster. He asked "Huh?" in his heart, somewhat in disbelief.

If you have used your abilities before, you will continue to report to the world, why this time...?

Lin Hangzhi thought about it carefully, and suddenly had a wonderful guess. He thought of his previous unlucky times without warning—could it be... Could it be that his bad luck was overdrawn in advance, so that he allowed this time to use it? Good luck not suffering bad luck?

He was taken aback by this idea, although it sounded a bit ridiculous, but after careful comparison, he really wanted it!

Immediately he became excited, if, if this is really the case, then he only needs to spend a little bit of bad luck in daily small things, accumulate good luck, and use it at critical times, then wouldn't it be because of bad luck? And delay things yet!

Lin Hangzhi excitedly told everyone his guess. Cui Zuojing raised an eyebrow. After thinking about it carefully, he admitted that it made sense: "At that time, I was still thinking about how to evolve your ability. , it will be much more convenient in the future, so let’s test it after we go back.”

"Yes, yes." Lin Hangzhi chuckled, just as he was about to say something, suddenly his left foot stepped on his right foot, and he yelled and fell to the ground.

Everyone: …………………

Facts have proved that overdrafting bad luck in advance does not mean that good luck can be completely neutralized, and those who should be unlucky will still be unlucky.

They went back the same way, and some of the bugs they killed along the way were no longer in their original places, presumably not completely dead, and gradually recovered and hid elsewhere.The giant worm entities defeated by their joint efforts in the proving grounds floated on the dirty water, emitting bursts of stench.

More insects are covered with other insects, and the eaten ones can no longer see their original appearance. Walking through the second floor, a pool of dark green "bloodstains" and countless The corpses of male Shali in the Qing Dynasty and the broken feet of centipedes are everywhere.

The elevator from the first floor to the second floor was destroyed by big cockroaches. They didn't dare to take it, so they walked up the stairs. There were still many insects smelling the smell of flesh and blood, trying to swallow people into their stomachs, but they were welcome. , only bullets, laser beams and raging flames of thousands of degrees.

After 6 hours of hard work in the underground part of the research institute, the group finally entered the safe house again.Cui Zuojing took off his helmet, took a deep breath of normal air, and rubbed his temples wearily.

Dong Zheng: "Should I rest here for a while, or go out directly?"

Cui Zuojing: "Let's go out directly, I guess the exit will appear if we go outside, there is no point in wasting time here."

Wang Que hasn't woken up yet, lying quietly on Dong Linhai's back. She summoned too many transparent worms when her life was in danger, far beyond what she can bear at present. Her brain has already fallen into self-protection. It takes a day or two to wake up.

After rearranging the equipment on their lower bodies, the five of them got on the elevator and returned to the ground.

Including the rest time in the safe house, they spent a total of 19 hours in the Institute of Biochemistry. It was noon when they came in. At this moment, the rising sun was climbing up the mountain step by step, using light and heat to expel of extreme cold.

"Where is the door?" Dong Zheng asked after looking around but couldn't find the exit.

Cui Zuojing has a lot of experience with this kind of time-limited dungeon: "You can go around casually, and when the time is up, it will automatically appear by your side."

Hearing this, Dong Zheng led everyone along the way they came, and Cui Zuojing followed behind him. Although he didn't say anything, he knew that Dong Zheng wanted to go back to the place where Allen fell off the cliff, to see if there were still people left. There is no chance to go down and find Allen's body.

Cui Zuojing always felt that maybe it was the lack of family care when he was young, which made Dong Zheng especially emotional. He didn't say anything, but everything was kept in his heart. Those sorrows still lightly permeate into Cui Zuojing's heart.

The snow fell slowly again, but fortunately the wind was not too strong. They walked for more than half an hour, and Dong Linhai suddenly said, "Look there!"

Cui Zuojing looked in the direction he pointed, and a door glowing with white light appeared not far away. They needed to climb up the mountain for a while.

Cui Zuojing's eyes lit up: "That's the one, let's go!"

Lin Hangzhi led the way, Dong Linhai walked in the middle with Wang Que on his back, Dong Zheng followed behind, and the three of them got Wang Que up together. Dong Linhai went out first with Wang Que on his back, followed by Lin Hangzhi, whose figure disappeared into the in the door.

Dong Zheng stopped in his tracks.

He turned around, seemed to have some kind of induction, and looked at another mountain in the distance.

A man was standing on the top of the mountain, dressed in black and black pants, his blond hair was blown by the wind, and a layer of snow had fallen, watching him from across a valley.

"Huh?" Cui Zuojing followed Dong Zheng's gaze, but found nothing, "What's wrong?"

Dong Zheng only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he looked closely again, there was nothing on the mountain except white snow.

Dong Zheng frowned, and looked around to find a figure, but he was nowhere to be found.

In the end, he could only shake his head slightly, and said, "Maybe he's a little snow blind, his eyes are dazzled."

"Let's go then."

Dong Zheng turned and walked into the door, Cui Zuojing was one step behind him, but at this moment, a sharp wind suddenly swept from behind!

Cui Zuojing's excellent reflexes made him suddenly raise the knife just before the nine-section whip swept him. The whip wrapped around the knife, but the tip of the end brushed the boy's cheek, leaving a streak of blood on it. Wire.

The boy with black hair and black eyes is not far away, holding a long whip, his bloodshot eyes are full of paranoia and madness, his teeth are almost crushed, his clothes are torn, and there are countless large and small wounds on his exposed arms. The wound is so shocking that someone can hurt him like this!

The snake disappeared, Cui Zuojing squinted his eyes and waved away Tang Ji's punch. Although the boy in front of him looked only [-] or [-] years old, Cui Zuojing was shocked by the powerful force. Half of his arm was numb from the shock.

The other party pulled hard, and Tang Dao was about to throw the sword aside with the nine-section whip wrapped around it. After only two rounds, Cui Zuojing confirmed that if he didn't use the power of time, it would be difficult for him to be J's opponent at present.

So why not use it, it is obviously the power he has!

The place on the inside of the wrist that used to be a seal flashed. Cui Zuojing recalled the feeling of throwing cherry blossoms in front of Dong Zheng after waking up from a hangover that day. The wind and snow slowed down at this moment, and the whole world became quiet.

He could clearly see the posture of each section of the nine-section whip in the air, J's mouth gradually grew when he shouted angrily, and the flying snow splashed by the steps of the two of them—

Cui Zuojing drew out the knife and slapped J hard on the face.

Cui Zuojing saw that J was slapped to the side, the muscles on his face trembled violently, saliva and blood slowly flowed out from the mouth and nostrils, flying in the air, gradually accelerating.

One second before the time returned to normal, Cui Zuojing sneered, stepped into the door with a knife in his hand, and left the frantic roar of J in the box forever.

The scene in front of him changed, and he returned to the living room of the apartment. Everyone was waiting for him. Seeing that Cui Zuojing was full of pride, but there was a bloodstain on his cheek, Dong Zheng really frowned.

"what happened?"

"I met a lunatic when I was leaving the house. It's okay." Cui Zuojing wiped the wound that was no longer bleeding with his thumb, brought it to his mouth and slowly licked the blood on his fingertips, and said with a smile: "I hope not. poison."

Victor appeared beside Dong Linhai, and the white cat climbed onto the back of the sofa, put its paws on the back of Cui Zuojing's hand, and purified him.

Dong Zheng took a deep look at the snowball on the ground. The small house was surrounded by pine trees, and the snow made of foam was floating in the glass ball.

On the base of the snow globe, a small door was opened.

This is the box they just went through.

Wang Que was still in a coma, and all the protective clothing, weapons and other equipment on their bodies disappeared the moment they left the box.Dong Zheng held the snowball in his arms, took out the key without saying a word, and inserted it into the door lock of the living room.

They returned to the castle.

Fu Zhe waited for them at the long table in the living room as always. The young man with tear moles under his eyes turned his head and saw the deep exhaustion and silence on their faces, but he never saw the most eye-catching red hair.

The fire burns quietly in the fireplace, but the person who would squat in front of the stove to feed the cat has never returned.

Dong Linhai couldn't restrain himself and cried again.

Fu Zhe understood everything in an instant, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He gently closed the book in his hand, stood up, and said to the exhausted everyone like every time before:

"Welcome back."
