I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Under Sheng Bai's defensive gaze, Xia Xi took out a glass box.

Sheng Bai choked for breath.He is very familiar with such a box, this is a box containing S-level samples.

Shahi flipped her wrist, revealing the samples in the box.

The butterfly lay quietly in the middle of the box, its icy blue wings shining brightly in the sunlight.

"Sample S02, Huandie. You let them go, and I will return this to you."

Sheng Bai stared at the glass box carefully for a while, and he recognized the things inside, and it was indeed Huandie.

But although the things were precious, Sheng Bai rejected Xia Xi without hesitation.He thought that since Xia Xi was willing to come up with a sample transaction, it meant that these people really had weight in his heart.If Xia Xi can be caught, he can do it no matter whether he wants to kill the people here or take the sample from Xia Xi's hand.

So Sheng Bai said resolutely: "I won't make a deal with you. I just want you to be obedient and get caught. If you don't agree, I will kill all the hostages immediately."

When Sheng Bai said this, his attitude was cold and full of confidence.He has done the same thing too many times, and he knows that those people will give in obediently in the end.

The doctor is right, emotion is the most useless thing in human beings, and in the cruel last days, it will only become a drag.

From his previous life to the present, Sheng Bai has seen many amazing and talented people.There is no lack of some strength and resourcefulness far superior to him.But all of these people were caught by him because of their emotional weakness, threatening the lives of one or more people, and in the end they all obediently caught up.

He believes that the same is true for Crow.

"You kill it." Xia Xi took the sample box back without hesitation: "It's not the first day I know you, and we all know that once you control me, no one here will survive. You will also accept all the samples in your hand. So it is impossible for me to agree to go with you. Now the choice is yours, you kill them, the transaction is void, and you can get nothing. Dahei and its clan are besieging you with all their strength. At all costs, let you pay for your life."

Black Crow was clearly speaking in a very gentle tone, not threatening at all, but Sheng Bai could tell that Xia Xi was serious.

It is serious to refuse the deal, it is serious to let him kill people, and it is serious to keep him alive.

Xia Xi was different from those who had been defeated by him.

Those people, either still retain the soft-heartedness and innocence before the end of the world, as well as some kind of tragic heroism, and regard certain people and things as more precious than their own lives.

Or they will be as selfish and indifferent as he is tempered by the end of the world. In order to survive, or even for a small profit, they can kill without restraint.

But Xia Xi's mentality is different from these two kinds of people.Rather than saying that he values ​​the lives of these people, it is better to say that he values ​​his own purpose more.

For the established purpose, the lives of others, the samples in his hand, and even his own life are all bargaining chips that can be used.On the surface, he looks like a preoccupied businessman.But in fact, he is a gambler regardless of the cost.

At this moment, he pushed all his chips into the betting pool, but Sheng Bai didn't dare to call.

Xia Xi's voice sounded again at this time, giving him another choice: "Or you let them go, and I will leave the sample and leave. I have achieved my goal, and you will not return without success."

Sheng Bai breathed a sigh of relief.When he realized this, he felt a little annoyed at being manipulated.But he knew that he couldn't choose the path of dying together.He doesn't value other people's lives, but he values ​​his own.

Sheng Bai reluctantly compromised, waved his hand at one of his subordinates, and ordered: "Go and confirm the samples."

The subordinate who was selected took the order and looked at the sample with a little fear in his eyes. As Sheng Bai's confidant, he had also heard of the power of Huandie.But Sheng Bai gave orders, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

Xia Xi generously handed out the sample for him to try.The man opened a little hole from the edge of the sample, and the aura that belonged to the phantom butterfly caught him immediately.The scene of death flashed back in front of his eyes, the man was torn to pieces by the black cat in the hallucination, and he threw away the box screaming.

"Yes, it's true!" He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied tremblingly to Sheng Bai.

A skeleton picked up the dropped box and handed it back to Xia Xi respectfully.Xia Xi closed the sample and looked at Sheng Bai: "How?"

"This sample is not enough. I can only release half of the people. I want to save everyone, unless you also give me sample S03." Sheng Bai said firmly.

"The sample of mushroom spores is in Chaomo's place. I only have this." Xia Xi didn't give Sheng Bai a chance to raise the price: "In the doctor's eyes, the value of a phantom butterfly is much higher than the lives of these people. You Not bad at all."

Sheng Bai deliberately didn't want to make it easy for the black crow: "If I say I will lose, I will lose. You don't have to agree, I will kill half of these people, and return the rest to you."

But Xia Xi also became tough: "You kill one person here, I will kill one person in your team, and release the sample immediately, I will do what I say."

In the end, Sheng Bai failed to get any benefit from Xia Xi, and reluctantly released the hostages in his hands. Xia Xi returned the sample box and watched Sheng Bai's people leave.

Looking at the rescued companion, Zhang Yunhan was grateful and apologetic to Xia Xi: "This time I am really thankful to you, but that S-level sample should be very important, so it's really good to give it to him like this?"

"It's okay." Xia Xi raised the corners of her mouth, stroked Dahei's thick fluff in a good mood, and narrowed her eyes comfortably. She didn't have the half-momentum of fighting someone desperately: "That's a fake. The real phantom butterfly It was destroyed a long time ago. This is just an imitation made by Jingyue using the fragments of the crystal nucleus of the broken phantom butterfly, the camouflage of Shanghai slug skin, and some bionic materials. Although this imitation can still exert the effect of phantom butterfly, it is far more powerful than It’s not as good as the real phantom butterfly, and the ability is used a little less, and it will be useless after a few times.”

After the thing was finished, Chaomo was originally handed over to Xia Xi for self-defense.But the moment Xia Xi saw Sheng Bai, he decided not to use Phantom Butterfly in this battle.After all, the actual effect that the Mechanical Magic Butterfly can play is limited, and it is not as cost-effective as using it to deceive Sheng Bai.

"Ah, so you lied to him?" Zhang Yunhan also understood at this moment.He also said: "But you are really powerful. I heard that the butcher is always bloodthirsty, and he is best at blackmailing others with hostages. He has always been the only one who threatens others. I have never heard of being led by the nose like this. "

"Sheng Bai despises the lives of others, but he still cherishes his own. Thanks to Dahei's help today, we can overwhelm him in strength, so we have a chance to negotiate." Xia Xi reminded Zhang Yunhan: "Sheng Bai probably goes back In the future, he will find out that he was deceived, and he can't find me in anger, and he will probably come to the shelter again to trouble him. Their black technology is really powerful, and all the detectors we are currently using will fail, so the next step in Lanshu Beside, we must strengthen our vigilance."

Zhang Yunhan nodded: "Don't worry, it was indeed my negligence this time. But our Lanshu is not a small refuge at the mercy of others. If he comes again, he will definitely not let him take advantage of it."

Xia Xi finished clicking, seeing that Zhang Yunhan knew it well, so she didn't say much.After thanking Dahei, he fed the dozens of fourth-level crystal nuclei he had brought with him to the cats as a thank you, then took the 27 skeletons he harvested this time, rode a motorcycle, and returned to the port.

When Xia Xi arrived, it was two hours later than the agreed time. Gu Ming was also relieved to see Xia Xi came back safely.

On the way, he curiously asked about Xia Xi's itinerary this time, and Xia Xi roughly told him a little bit, only concealing his old friendship with Zhang Yunhan.

Gu Ming listened with relish, and when he heard Sheng Bai attacking the hunting team in Lanshu City, he cursed loudly in anger.When I heard him talk about how to use the fake magic butterfly to fool Sheng Bai into letting people go, I couldn't stop laughing.

But this good mood didn't last long. When the boat arrived at the shore, everyone on board found that the atmosphere on the island was not right today.People who were supposed to be busy everywhere gathered at the pier at the moment, and Chaomo, who was always gentle and calm on weekdays, also had a tense expression at this moment.

As soon as he got off the boat with the crew, Xiang Lei rushed aboard with a group of people and started searching.

Gu Ming was confused, and looked at Chao Mo blankly: "Captain, what's wrong?"

Chao Mo didn't speak, and waited until Xiang Lei finished his search and reported that he had found nothing, before replying with a serious face: "After your ship left yesterday, five people went missing on the island. Four residents, and one team member .”

Gu Ming was full of disbelief: "Missing? How is this possible? The island is only this big, and our entry and exit from the island have always been hidden...Captain, you can't suspect that I smuggled people out, right?"

"Is someone missing?" Xia Xi also seemed a little surprised.He thought a little deeper than Gu Ming.

There are only people from the Chasing Light Base here. If it wasn't for these people hiding themselves for some reason, or some invisible mutant creatures, it means that there are ghosts in the Chasing Light Base.

It is basically impossible to hide by yourself, not to mention that the relationship between the people in Zhuguang Sanctuary has always been very harmonious, and there is no motivation to hide by yourself.Even if they deliberately hid it, there was only such a small place on the island, and if Chao Mo wanted to find it, it was impossible not to find someone in two days.What's more, most of them are ordinary people without supernatural powers, who need to eat, rest and sleep.

Attacks by mutated creatures can basically be ruled out.There are dead sea sharks, and there have been no mutated creatures in the nearby waters for a long time.Besides the attack of mutant creatures, it is impossible for the detectors on the island to fail to respond at all.

The biggest possibility is that there are ghosts mixed in on the island.

The Chasing Light City built by Chao Mo in his previous life was torn apart because of the betrayal of the inner ghost, and the city was destroyed.Chao Mo hated nothing more than this inner ghost.It's no wonder that his face, who has always been gentle, has become so ugly.

Xia Xi subconsciously looked at Jing Lan who was standing outside the crowd.Unexpectedly, he looked at him.

Jing Lan shook her head lightly.Xia Xi understood what he meant.This time, the disappearance happened under his nose, and even he didn't find any clues. Those people seemed to evaporate out of thin air.

After the crowd disbanded, Jing Lan accompanied Xia Xi back to his residence, and told him what he knew: "All the surveillance cameras didn't capture the disappearance. Of the five missing people, one was a chef working in the kitchen, and two were factory workers. A worker, a researcher of a research institute, and the remaining one is a rebirth of the light-chasing team. They disappeared around the time before and after the ship left yesterday. There were no witnesses, and no obvious fluctuations in abilities were found.

This statement further confirmed Xia Xi's guess that the reborn is not weak, and it is not an easy task to sneak into the island and take him away quietly.What's more, mutant creatures should not be smart enough to perfectly avoid surveillance hidden in the dark.

Because of the missing persons, some people on the island are in panic.The investigation continued, but without any progress.

In order to prevent the continued disappearance of people, Chaomo covered the public areas of the island with almost no blind spots.It is also required that the residents on the island must travel together on weekdays.

But only a week later, another person disappeared.This time it was three supernatural beings.These three people are not weak in combat strength, but they disappeared on the way home just after training.The monitoring screen was tampered with, and there was no picture of the missing person.

The other party's methods were so clever that even Shi Yin couldn't find out that there was a problem with the monitoring in the first place.I found out later, but I couldn't find out when and where the monitoring was changed.

This time, the always good-tempered Chaomo was completely irritated, and called a meeting of all the supernatural beings on the island overnight to discuss the matter.Xia Xi and Jing Lan were also invited.
