After Qin Luo and the others entered the room, they did not close the door immediately, but guarded the door and looked around outside vigilantly. Other mutants also found rooms where they could stay temporarily. Some completely closed the stone door to prevent the probing eyes of other mutants; some carefully left a gap to observe the outside secretly through the gap; some with better physique, like Qin Luo and the others, turned their backs Check the surroundings of the room.

Most of the mutants didn't continue to explore, and chose to temporarily stay in the stone chamber to rest. Although as long as you go down two floors, you will be on the floor where food is regularly delivered; but the distance between these two floors, no one knows what kind of danger you will encounter. Rather than risk going down to snatch the food that may not be available, it is better to stay with most of the latecomers and stay safe.

"Boom...boom..." A bell rang suddenly in the dark underground.

After the twelve bells rang, the flying squirrel lowered his voice and said to several people, "The bell will ring every twelve hours, and food will be placed in the feeding layer at this time."

Fang Xiaoyu curled her lips, "The sun doesn't see here all the year round. Using this method, people can calculate the approximate time. It's just that the place is weird, and the food you eat may not have any normal food."

Mo frowned slightly, the sound of the bell controlled the feelings of many people. If the ZO guys shorten the time to ring the bell, it makes it look like you've been down there for a year. If the ZO people stretch the time, then one month can become two months. At the beginning, people may rely on their normal instincts and make some superficial estimates. Later, these instincts are changed by the bell, and they will be more and more controlled by the bell. Maybe some people think that this may not be useful, but for the mutants in the dark and bloody killings, controlling time is controlling their hope.

Momonga sighed softly, the bloody days when he, Firefox, and a few mutants struggled together to survive were still vivid in his memory. At that time, in order to survive, when they were hungry, they were forced to eat the corpses and drink the blood of their own kind. I was also forced to join the forces below and fight for the leaders of those forces, just to get a place on the lifting platform one day. At the beginning, the few people they came down with called each other brothers, but later they had to be careful with everyone. Especially after fighting with other forces, it is very likely to become food in the mouths of hungry accomplices. Therefore, every time he was injured, he would guard against Firefox back to back, and he didn't even dare to close his eyes for a long time. Even if everyone in the same stone room is the so-called own people, some people will attack the injured.

There is no doctor or medicine under the dog camp. If there is no way to repair itself in a short period of time, people will become weak and will naturally become food in the mouths of tyrannical people. And if it is seriously injured, or falls into a deep sleep due to repairs, it will almost become food without any suspense. There was one time for Momonga, he was seriously injured in a fight with other forces, and finally he slept for two days to repair himself. At that time, if Firefox hadn't just climbed up to the leader of a powerful force, and was very respected by him, and brought him to this floor with all his might, and locked him in a stone room until he could take care of himself, there would have been no such person as Momonga in the world.

Qin Luo listened to Feishu talk about the various brotherhoods between him and Firefox, and seeing his slightly dazed eyes, he knew that he was thinking about the past. He patted him slightly to show comfort.

Hearing the ringing of the bell, three or four unusually burly mutants came out of the stone room they were in, looked at the people who were still watching in the surrounding room with disdain, and walked towards the next floor. They decided to try their luck, maybe they could get some food, after all, they were quite confident in their own strength.

Momonga sneered and said in a low voice, "Going down at this time is going to die."

Fang Xiaoyu pawed at the door, watching those guys with big arms and round waists slowly disappear into the corner, and murmured, "Damn, that guy doesn't need to transform, he's at the King Kong level, if he transforms, he'll be fine. If he continues like this, he will be killed." ? Then there is no way out for the rest.”

Momonga shook his head, "No matter how fierce the ones just came down, they are only superficially ferocious, and they can't reach that level of ruthlessness in their bones. They never imagined what it would be like below. In their cognition, the following is nothing more than a murderer." The world of snatching things. As long as they are a little more fierce and stronger, they will definitely be able to take advantage of them. But here, most of the human viewpoints are not very applicable. We must use the thinking of beasts to understand beasts. The beasts here are still Unlike the wild beasts outside, they are more ferocious."

Fang Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, turned her head and asked, "It's also a beast's thinking, what do you mean?"

Flying Squirrel circled the five members of his side with his fingers, and asked Fang Xiaoyu, "If you were asked to choose a opponent among us, who would you choose?"

Fang Xiaoyu pointed at Ma Yunlong without hesitation, "Of course it's Brother Ma, he is... uh, his strength is slightly weaker. It's easier to hit..."

Ma Yunlong touched his nose and smiled naively. In the past, if someone dared to say that, he would beat that person to the ground, but now Fang Xiaoyu is telling the truth. Among the few people, his strength is indeed the weakest, so the four people will often surround him in the middle.

Momonga chuckled, "This is human thinking. You judge based on what you know. But if you don't know anything, who would you choose?"

Fang Xiaoyu clicked on Qin Luo, "If you look at the visual effect, of course Qin Luo is the most harmless. He looks very thin, and it is easy to make people mistakenly think that as long as he is stronger, he can be knocked down."

Momonga nodded, "This is also the judgment of a normal human being."

Fang Xiaoyu hugged her shoulders, "Then tell me, how will the beasts down here choose? Don't they just look for the weakest one to kill?"

Momonga shook his head, "Below here, the taller and more powerful, the sooner the one will die."

Fang Xiaoyu scratched her head, "Why is that, picking hard bones?"

Mo chuckled, "The beast's intuition is a threat. The more threatening creatures should be removed as soon as possible. And those weak ones will become food sooner or later. There is no need to compete with your own food. But if you don't kill those beasts Threats, the food is someone else's."

Momonga nodded, "That's the reason, so every time a few new members will be killed, but there are not no exceptions. After all, the following is based on strength. If it is really strong enough, pick it out." Originally the leader of a certain strength, then he will become the new leader. But this kind of thing is too rare. The leader of a certain force who can stand here is not playing with any brains. The important thing is that they are better than other mutants. More ferocious and cruel."

Ma Yunlong frowned, "ZO doesn't know that strong mutants will die here early? If you know why you send them down, isn't it more useful to stay up there than to be food for mutants here?"

Mo Jie said, "ZO knows for sure. After all, there is an opportunity to leave the dog camp every three months. They can make some corresponding judgments through those people who left the dog camp; they can also learn from those people. Know the specific situation below. But they still won't change anything, although these people seem to be powerful, they can't compare with those trained mutants at all."

Qin Luo nodded, "ZO should lose a lot of mutants every year. After the end of the world, the number of human beings will decrease. Although they will restrain themselves, they can still afford to lose 10,000 or 8 people a year."

Mo snorted, "I've always suspected that they had man-made humans. Maybe a lot of man-made people were mixed in among the batches of people thrown down."

Qin looked at Mo with a little surprise, and then his expression was solemn, "ZO is producing artificial humans. Among their large number of mutants, at least half of them are artificial humans."

Ma Yunlong opened his mouth in surprise, "artificial human? Is that the same as human cloning?"

Qin Luo shook his head, "It's not the same. They are human beings made by extracting human genes and combining them with genes of other species. Although these guys behave similarly to mutants, their memories are all forged, and they are imposed through some accelerated images. It went in." Qin Luo said, glanced at the flying mouse, "Don't worry, you are definitely not a man-made human."

Momonga blushed, "I, I don't remember much about many things in the past. In fact, I have always suspected that I might be the artificial human you mentioned."

Qin Luo patted him on the shoulder, "Although I don't know why your memory has problems, I can be sure that you are definitely not an artificial human." Sighing, Qin Luo asked Fei Shu to spread his palms, "Look carefully at the palms of your palms. In the future, when you have the opportunity to see the palm prints of other mutants down here, you will know which ones are artificial humans."

Both Fang Xiaoyu and Ma Yunlong looked at the palm prints of the flying squirrel curiously, and then carefully looked at their own palm prints, but found no change.

At this moment, there were a few particularly miserable howls from below, and everyone who heard them trembled.

Fang Xiaoyu clicked her tongue, "Those guys are probably finished."

Mo learned a metaphor from Qin Luo a few days ago, and now he took it out and used it as "a silver-like pewter gun head..."

Ma Yunlong muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, it's still an alloy. I guess I'm just made of paper." It was still that kind of extra soft toilet paper.

Qin Luo shook his head, "Brother Ma, don't underestimate yourself. Although these guys look fierce, they are definitely not your opponents. Don't dare to say anything else. It is not a problem to win within thirty moves."

Ma Yunlong opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Really? I can really knock them down within thirty strokes." He is quite unconfident now, those guys look quite tough .

Mo chuckled, "Our training is not just for show. If you have the opportunity, you can also find someone to practice your hands below. But it must be when all of us are there. After all, you are our core. Let's do everything this time. The focus is on saving lives, and Ma Yunlong must not be injured."

The last sentence was for the other three present, and all three nodded.

At this time, the few people are tossing and hungry, and nothing will happen outside for the time being. Several people retreated into the stone room carefully, closed the stone door and bolted it.

Qin Luo took out a bundle of strange things from the space. At first glance, the thing looked like some kind of vine. The emerald green color was very lovely. Even though it had been cut off, it was still wriggling gently. However, they were tied together, so they didn't squirm away, they just floated slowly in the stone room.

Fang Xiaoyu grabbed the thing and held it in his hand to play with. This thing is the small tentacles of 'Evolution 3000', which has a very good purification effect. Its tentacles not only have a good effect of purifying the air, but also have no pain-sensing nerves. Even if they are not cut off, they will fall off by themselves after a period of time due to growth. Now in the room of the alliance base, there will be a small tentacles of 'Evolution 3000'. It not only purifies the air, but also effectively prevents the spread of some viruses.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't exist for a long time, and its color gradually fades as it leaves the subject. Biological researchers in several consortiums predict that it will disintegrate itself in the air at the end of its twilight. Qin Luo deeply felt that such an advanced creature is really not like what the earth can produce at this moment.

With those tentacles of 'Evolution 3000', the smell in the stone chamber quickly began to become fresher. After a while, the musty smell of rot and damp is replaced by a fresh grassy scent.

Qin Luo took out tables, chairs and food from the space again, and the few of them simply ate.

After the meal, Mo suggested that he go down to investigate first. It would be best if he could find the traces of Qin Ya and Firefox. If not, they would think of other ways. The blood race can walk freely on the ceiling and walls. The light here is dim and the space is very spacious, so it is very suitable for Yu Mo to investigate.

Several people discussed briefly, and all members passed. Qin Luo quickly put away the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and quietly opened a gap in the stone door. When Mo flashed out, all the stone rooms outside where people lived were closed.

The corridor outside was very spacious, and it was not a problem for several trucks to run side by side. In some places, the vertical height even exceeded ten meters. It is not surprising to have such a layout. When mutants fight, most of them will change into non-human forms. Those over three meters are within the normal range, and those over five meters are not too rare, and some individuals may be even larger. If the space is too small, the mutants may only be used as plugs after transformation, let alone fighting.

Mo Yuan turned over and jumped, and stuck to the ceiling lightly. If it wasn't for Qin Luo's very good eyesight and staring at him all the time, he would hardly be able to detect his existence. Mo Chong waved his hand to Qin Luo, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Qin Luo closed the stone gate and lowered the bolt again.

Then Qin Luo took out two mattresses from the space and placed them in the corner of the stone room. The four simply lay down on them and rested, waiting for Mo Tan to hear the news.

Although Qin Luo behaved normally, he was actually very nervous inside. Although Firefox is more familiar with this place than other mutants, Qin Ya is too conspicuous. In a place like this with rough men, a beautiful woman would definitely cause a battle. Even if ten firefoxes risk their lives for each other, it's impossible for Qin Ya to avoid those dirty guys. He only hoped that the two of them would not go too deep down, and that everything would be restored in time.

Qin Luo's fingers turned white, he was afraid that Qin Ya would have been ruined by some mutants at this time. If that's the case, he will definitely cramp those bastards who have touched Qin Ya. Time became extremely difficult in Qin Luo's wild thoughts, and he looked at his watch more than once. I thought it would feel like ten minutes or twenty minutes, but the time interval between each time did not exceed a few minutes.

Fang Xiaoyu came over and patted Qin Luo, and suggested, "We just take a rest, and we don't intend to sleep, why don't we all talk."

Looking at Qin Luo's state, Ma Yunlong was also a little worried, "Yeah, let's talk, otherwise this place is really creepy."

Momonga also came over, "Let me tell you about the following rules, after all, we're going to stay here for about three months."

Fang Xiaoyu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, it's always no harm if we are familiar with this place."

Qin Luo looked at his comrades gratefully. Although he might not be able to listen to much, it was really easier to pass the time than thinking about it alone. If he continued to think about it like this, he was really afraid that he would not be able to bear it anymore, and finally impulsively opened the door and went down.

Fei Shu deliberately approached Qin Luo, and Fang Xiaoyu and Ma Yulong also approached. Qin Luo felt that this feeling was like the scene when a few buddies gathered in the dormitory in high school and told ghost stories in the dark.

"When Firefox and I didn't go out, there were more than 20 forces here. There were about a dozen forces near our injection port. Although the leaders of these forces are also very powerful, they are all relative. They are not the most powerful characters in the dog camp, and even some of them are just vassals of the most powerful forces below. It's just that the bosses are too lazy to deal with more mutants, so they delegate some of the above powers to They are replaced frequently. I heard from other mutants below. The most common leopard is just the leader of the bottom for six years. Most of these people still want to go up, but in the dog camp There is an unwritten rule here. However, anyone who is a leader or deputy leader among these more than a dozen forces cannot participate in the competition for the number of lifts."

Flying Squirrel paused at this point, and Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly interjected, "Why, isn't being a leader just for the benefit, and the biggest benefit here is being able to go out. What's more important than going out."

Qin Luo sighed, "Compared to the number of people vying for the lift seat, I think survival or better survival is the most important thing."

Momonga nodded in agreement, "The leaders and deputy leaders of more than a dozen forces here do not need to participate in the food competition. Moreover, they enjoy the complete distribution of the food they get. Those who are dissatisfied can challenge, but if they lose the battle, they will only die. One. Here we only speak based on strength, there is no morality or mercy. However, if the challenge is successful, the mutant will be the new leader and have all the powers of the original leader."

Ma Yunlong frowned, "Then no leader of any faction broke this rule? I mean to fight for the lifting platform. Their strength is not weak, and if they bring their own men to kill them, wouldn't it be easier to get out? "

Fang Xiaoyu was also a little curious, since he was considered a powerful character, why didn't he bring someone to kill him.

Momonga shook his head, "It won't work. As I said just now, they are not the most powerful existences, they are just vassals cultivated by a few of the most powerful forces. If they dare to break the rules here, it is tantamount to fighting against the real boss. The previous It is not that there are some small leaders who try to lead people to kill them, but those who have such thoughts fail to get out of here alive. Even those who go out in the same period are very few... And after this happens, ZO will put a few more A large number of mutants come down. There will be endless corpses below, and the rotten corpses will be thrown into a bottomless abyss at the bottom." Then Momonga sighed and said slowly, "To be honest, I have seen Few of the real monsters below would dare to have such an idea. Trying to play tricks under their noses is simply suicidal."

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then he was startled, "I hear what you mean, there may only be a few monsters that caused the death of a large number of mutants in the dog camp."

The flying squirrel smiled wryly, "How many? One is scary enough. You have never seen those big monsters. They are definitely more aggressive than the five monsters we saw when we attacked District 23."

Fang Xiaoyu pursed her mouth, "I'm a god... that's scary enough." Thinking of those humanoid monsters, a chilly wind blew across Fang Xiaoyu's back. He swallowed his saliva, "Do you think there will be the 'Scorpion King' we saw later? If there is such a thing, we may not be opponents."

Momonga sighed, "I haven't seen them, so I don't know what they look like."

Fang Xiaoyu stared, and her voice was a little higher, "You have talked about feelings until now, it's brother Huyou, I have never seen you speak so vividly."

Momonga spread his hands helplessly, "I wasn't the leader or deputy leader of various forces here at that time, how could I see those big bosses. However, Firefox and I caught up with a defection once, and we were so scared that we didn't dare to leave the stone room for three days. Afterwards, for a long time, I only dared to work on the upper floors.”

Ma Yunfei urged Feishu to "tell me, tell me how thrilling it was at that time."

Momonga rubbed his face, "There is also this kind of stone room below, but it is bigger and more spacious. The further you go down and the closer you get to the lifting platform, the more spacious the room will be. Although there are no specific decorations inside, there are also many stone beds, tables and chairs." But on the bottom floor, only near the lifting platform can be used, and other places are the territory of those big bosses. Trespasser death is definitely not a joke. That time, Firefox and I also planned to Give it a try and see if you can grab the position of the lifting platform. However, there was a little leader in advance who wanted to attract some people to rush up with him, and Firefox was among the people he recruited. Firefox did not dare to offend him, but he did not dare to offend him. Dare to try it lightly. After all, the rumors in the past were quite scary. We both felt that we would rather believe it, so we were extra cautious. It happened that Firefox always felt flustered that day, and he was injured in the first battle, so we didn't rush down. Hastily returned to the house and waited for the matter to pass."

Momonga took a deep breath again, "At that time, Firefox and I were in the stone room, because there were still people coming back one after another, and the door of the stone room was not closed tightly. Just when we thought the fighting was the most intense, a sound came from below. What monster's roar. Then there were screams in the ears, and the whole ground trembled. The two of us didn't even dare to look out through the stone door. We ran to the innermost part of the room, clinging to the wall. Blood gushed down the crack of the door When we entered, Firefox and I both felt a deep chill. The thing was watching us both from the door, but it didn't break through the door in the end."

Fang Xiaoyu didn't give up, "Didn't you see clearly?"

Just as Momonga was about to answer, several violent knocks came from outside the stone room, and the frightened people immediately stopped talking.
