Deep in the Living

Chapter 659 Coming
Deep within the obsidian prison,
Drip, drip~ The prison, which should have been dry and damp, was actually dripping liquid.

Moreover, this liquid is slightly viscous, and if observed under a microscope, a kind of "bacterium" with a tongue can be found hidden inside.

Once the liquid comes into contact with a living organism, these tongue bacteria will immediately attach themselves and attempt to "restore" the individual to its original state.

A dark-skinned girl (with a missing arm) who was unconscious in a prison cell slowly regained consciousness after her body was partially wet.

Unfortunately,

Although her physical strength has recovered, her severed arm remains completely unresponsive.

Meijin suddenly woke up to find a gray-haired young man squatting beside her, trying to smear saliva on her severed arm.

"Master, how did you get here? What is this saliva...?"

"My teacher is healing my body, and he's healing you along with him... However, your severed arm doesn't seem to be regenerating at all."

The teacher's treatment methods are extremely advanced; he's considered one of the best in the middle-level area. Is it still not working?

Meijin shook his head. "My soul is shattered, and ordinary repairs are useless. That's why the Overlord decisively abandoned me and chose to adapt to a completely new weapon."

Soul repair is an extremely difficult task, let alone the fact that my arm was completely damaged on the spot and my soul was annihilated.

To restore it, the only option would be a complete soul reconstruction… which is virtually impossible.

"Did the soul of the entire arm shatter? What if I gave you another arm? A complete one, with a soul, and then used the teacher's saliva to glue it back together, would it be possible to repair it?"

"The Great Demon's arm?"

"No... the monster's arm."

"Impossible~ The soul is very sensitive and fragile, and it has a 'rejection' property. Randomly attaching an arm would not only render it unusable, but could also damage my original soul."

I can't even catch the arm of a Great Demon, let alone the arm of a monster from a completely different system.

Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm feeling pretty good right now. After the previous struggle, I've readjusted to the spinal surgery.

If my master isn't used to that greatsword stance, I'll slowly try to change it.

"There's no need to deliberately change it; that's your natural spinal structure, and stability is the priority. Let's leave it like this for now, and I'll contact you if anything comes up."

Regarding the issue of arm repair or reattachment, I'll talk to my teacher... Since you've been stuck in this "real hell" without recovering, perhaps you need to abandon those conventional concepts and try new methods.

"Understood... I will follow Master's instructions."

Roddy woke up,

The firewood in the fireplace burned vigorously, providing light and heat.

However, the firelight was trapped inside the house, unable to penetrate even a fraction of it outwards.

The entire cabin seemed to be isolated in a strange space; everything looked distorted when viewed from the windows.

He was already seated at the dining table.
All members of the infiltration team have arrived.

Teacher Guo was wearing a white shirt, with her hands in front of her, pressing them against her nose. Her eyes, which seemed to be rotating, were always fixed on Luo Di.

"Gustave said you obtained [important intelligence] during the raid?"

"Yes, information brought out by a monster at the cost of violating the extraterritorial contract."

Roddy opened his palm.

Wow wow~
All the seemingly ordinary casino tokens flowed out at once, piling up on the table in such large quantities.

There are no text prompts on the token, and the token does not store any objects or memory cells inside.

These are the most common tokens, available in four colors: blue, green, white, and red.

Among them, blue and green tokens are the most numerous, followed by white, while red has only one.

These tokens, due to frequent use, have developed gaps to varying degrees. And these gaps are stained with other colors.

It can perhaps be seen as a jigsaw puzzle, with the color of the missing piece corresponding to the color of the adjacent token.

Teacher Guo immediately saw through the clue and waved his hand.

All tokens began to automatically sort under the influence of the vortex, spreading out flat on the desktop.

"This is... a map?"

The blue tokens on the outermost edge represent the outer sea.

The green tokens are surrounded, representing a special island.

Various white tokens are scattered across different areas of the island, corresponding to important or heavily guarded areas.

There is also a single white token located on the outermost edge of the coastline, corresponding to the [Dock].

Additionally, in the northern part of the island, there lies a single red token. This is presumably the most important extraterrestrial intrusion point, the location of the extraterrestrial passage, and precisely their destination for this infiltration.

Mr. Guo's eyes lit up. He had already glimpsed that unknown area and seen some scenes and island outlines, so he could be sure of the authenticity of this token map.

"Well done! This map will save us a lot of time and reduce the risk of exposure. Also, our raiding squad is making rapid progress and achieving significant results in Sin City."

The Outer God who came alone from a distant realm, causing a large-scale infection in the middle layer and creating Apostles, has begun to intervene actively; perhaps even his true form will personally go there.

"An Outer God? Who has captured his attention?... His grandmother and the others? Or Mr. Jarvan?"

"Hunter."

……

[Real Death Game]

Experimental Department - In front of the final zombie suppression device.

Apart from the massive central device still functioning normally, all other facilities were destroyed, and the scene was littered with countless corpses.

Hunter, the carnivore, is standing right here.

He remained impeccably dressed, with only a few drops of blood on his cuffs and trousers; the rest of his clothes were clean.

Lying before him was a monster who, by virtue of extraterrestrial divinity, had forcibly bypassed the maturation of plants and arrived at the same level as Hunter, Javin, and others.

It was the head of the Experimentation Department, the monster that Mr. Question Mark had recruited, named [Casius].

He thought he could take this opportunity to monopolize the company, but he was defeated by an outsider.

Its entire body was swallowed up and taken away.

Only his head remained on the ground. The top of his head was completely swollen open, and the wildly proliferating brain resembled a giant honeycomb, its surface covered with various porous structures.

He is considered one of the most powerful apostles in the city of sin.

But now he can't move.

He could clearly feel and see a terrifying entity shaped like a mouth floating behind Hunter, and his brain would be instantly swallowed up if he made any unusual movement.

He considered thousands of ways to break the deadlock, but the result was always the same: he was eaten.

"Shut down the equipment and release Jia Wen."

Cassius, however, showed no sign of compromising. His exposed brain began to twitch, emitting strange sounds:
"This is a special device personally made by Mr. Question Mark to prevent the first generation of zombies. Once it is activated, it means that Jia Wen has betrayed us and needs to be eradicated. It cannot be stopped."

However, since my master has already arrived...

Whether or not Jia Wen, this zombie, is locked up won't affect the overall situation, after all, even Mr. Question Mark is gone... You little bug in the corner, hurry up and run!
What my master brought is something that transcends death. Even if I die here, I will be recycled by the abyss and become a part of it.

I will witness the extinction of this corner of the world and of all human civilization, watching you all being crushed to death by your master's hand.

at this time.

Crack! A crack appeared on the surface of the container.

A large amount of sealing solution leaked out as the container broke.

A deathly pale zombie landed behind Cassius and grabbed his last remaining brain.

"How is this possible... Jia Wen, you!?"

Jia Wen stared wide-eyed at the brain tissue before him:
"Who said the boss is gone? How could the boss die at the hands of trash like you?"

Disrespecting the boss, you truly deserve to die... Your current position was given to you by the boss; you treacherous bastard.

Just as he was about to strike,

Snapped!
The zombie's arm was grabbed, and Hunter said very politely, "Captain, let me handle it. There's no point in killing it directly. You can rest for a bit."

Jia Wen had already gritted his teeth until they were shattered, and only after taking a deep breath could he suppress his rage.

"Row……"

Hunter crouched on the ground, staring at the exposed brain, or rather, at the holes in the surface.

A deep, resonant sound, like teeth chewing, entered the passage and traveled into its depths.
"What kind of trash are you guys from beyond the realm? The apostles you've created are so disgustingly bad."

As a higher life form, I cannot swallow lower species like you.

Because it tastes bad, I'm giving you a chance.

"Get out of this corner within a day... or I wouldn't mind turning you all into swill and feeding it to the pigs."

suddenly,

Hunter's expression changed, and Javin, who was resting nearby, also noticed something.
The perspective shifts to the sky above the city.

A real-life death game, the company building, boom!
A webbed hand, larger than the building's dimensions, suddenly emerged from the top, instantly obliterating half of the building.

Something is coming...
