The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 182 Siege, Susanoo

The sewage that Aquarius sprayed at them was not resisted. The mist wrapped around their bodies and was even breathed into their bodies.

Capricorn's memory of using the wind to blow the mist back is actually just an illusion.

After breaking free from the kaleidoscope's control, the three finally felt the pain. They looked at Huo Ying's eyes in horror, unable to even scream.

Their internal organs had been corroded by the parasites, their vocal cords and throats were damaged, and finally, the parasites devoured their eyes, leaving them unable to even see Huo Ying's appearance.

"Why didn't the three of them resist?"

Aquarius stared blankly at the three wet marks on the ground, unable to accept the fact he saw for a moment.

I, an Aquarius, the dumbest disciple of the old dean, easily killed three of the twelve zodiac signs of the same level in seconds.

Am I so strong?

No, this is not possible.

So, the three Libras stood still and let the sewage swallow them, just because this man looked at them?
This unthinkable killing is even more terrifying than the shock brought by a level 4 octopus.

"Was that a mental illusion?" The old dean looked at Huo Ying's pupils that had returned to normal, then looked at the three puddles of water on the ground. After a long pause, he sighed, "It's better to die in an illusion, so you don't have to suffer too much."

"Where are we going now?" the old dean asked Huo Ying, and at the same time pulled Aquarius over and whispered, "Remember, you must follow this man closely. You must join this man's territory even if you have to pester him. You will never die if you stay with him."

Although Aquarius was stupid, he was very obedient. He immediately pushed his teacher away and stood behind Huo Ying with his head lowered.

No, I'm not dead yet, shouldn't you pull with me?
You surrendered too quickly, didn't you?

Without waiting for the old dean to speak, Huo Ying glanced outside the research institute and said, "We may have to leave a little later. Your research institute has been infiltrated too thoroughly."

In Baiyan's eyes, the research institute had been surrounded by infected people with varying shades of red light.

This means that not only the three Libras rebelled, but other people in the research institute also rebelled.

Outside the research institute, the infected members of the guard team and the soldiers of the investigation team surrounded the building.

After the Level 4 octopus' siege, XN City has put all heavy weapons on a combat readiness basis in order to prevent such an incident from happening again.

In order to defeat the infected with insufficient combat power, heavy artillery and missiles were set up from a distance. As long as the escort team gave the order, the artillery fire could crush the research institute into ruins.

In the investigation team, Lao Niu and the scumbag stood side by side.

"What's going on? How could a monster get into the research institute?" The scumbag frowned. He had just finished a fierce battle with a level three infected creature, and was then arranged by the guard team to besiege the research institute. Really, are the infected people who fled from Lianhai City some kind of tireless robots? XN City did not treat the infected people from Lianhai City as human beings at all.

If it was monsters attacking the city again, a battle should have broken out inside the research institute long ago. But now everything is calm and peaceful, and the guards still say there are monsters inside. There can only be one reason, and that is that the monsters are controlled by the research institute.

Lao Niu looked at the fighting force of the guards behind him and booed.

The guards looked fully armed, and it was clear that there was going to be a big battle. If it was monsters attacking the city, then the monsters would have given humans too much time to prepare.

Looking at the formation, the infected people who escaped from Hai City and the patrol team were standing in the front, while the guards were supporting them in the rear. It seemed like they were being used as cannon fodder.

"Scumbag, something is wrong, be careful to protect yourself later."

There was no way to expose it, Lao Niu could only try his best to remind the scumbag that the upcoming battle did not look like a battle with the infected. If they died in the process of their own people fighting each other, it would be too sad for both the infected and humans.

"Sir, the Libras haven't sent back a signal yet."

At the end of the team, a level 3 infected person reported to Huang Tianding.

"Then consider it as a failure. After all, our opponent is the old dean who knows their abilities well. It's normal for them to fail." Huang Tianding snorted disdainfully, then looked towards the research institute with some excitement.

I really didn't expect that the old dean is so capable. In addition to using human ghost experiments to create special level 3 infected people, he also developed a technology to bring the dead back to life.

If it were any other technology, Huang Tian would definitely not have fallen out with the old dean.

For example, the human ghost sequence potion invented by the old dean can transform the subject into a level 3 infected person out of thin air.

In Huang Tianding's eyes, the third-level infected people are just stronger cannon fodder. It doesn't matter if there are more or less cannon fodder. After all, if there is danger, Huang Tianding can return to Chang'an City.

But the technology of resurrection from the dead is completely different.

Once this technology is brought back to Chang'an City, Huang Tianding's status will immediately rise, and he may even get the opportunity to become a new human being.

"What are you doing? Why are you surrounding the research institute?" The old dean put on his iconic white coat and stood by the window, trying to use his identity to force the soldiers outside the room out.

The subordinate immediately pulled out the loudspeaker and handed it to Huang Tianding. Looking at the old dean who pretended to be calm, Huang Tianding asked slowly, "I suspect that the Research Institute has betrayed XN City. Old dean, your ability is a secret of the Rule Department. With you in charge, XN City will not be so easily invaded by strange things."

"It was you who first removed your confidentiality ability, which led to the invasion of XN City by the Level 4 octopus. Now that you are standing here peacefully, why did you remove your ability and frame XN City?"

The old dean frowned. The atmosphere of the densely packed soldiers and infected people downstairs had changed. At the beginning, when they surrounded the research institute, everyone was still a little nervous. Now that they saw that the old dean was safe and sound, the confidentiality of XN City was broken. The fourth-level octopus turned XN City upside down. Everyone looked up, waiting for the old dean to explain.

"Everyone, this is a misunderstanding. After all, I am only a level 3 infected person. It is not that difficult to understand why a level 4 octopus saw through my ability and broke into XN City."

The old dean's words calmed down the discussion of the infected. The gap between the levels of the infected was the gap between an elephant and an ant. The third-level confidentiality ability could not prevent the fourth-level monster, so the old dean should not be embarrassed because of this.

Huang Tianding nodded with satisfaction. His previous question was not intended to force the old dean into a dead end, but to wait for the old dean to explain.

"Very good, which means that your confidentiality ability was cracked by the Level 4 Octopus. Then after the Level 4 Octopus left, why didn't you show up when the Guards formed a death squad?"

Huang Tianding's true intentions were exposed: "You would rather the guards die than use the confidentiality ability again, right? Do you want to explain that the third-level confidentiality ability can't even hide ordinary weirdness?"

"Bring the people up!"

At Huang Tianding's command, Tan Yongrui, whose hands and feet were cut off by the Yangshi weapon, was dragged up.

"Old Dean, please explain. You should be in charge of XN City and protect the town. Why did you come back from outside XN City in the death squad's car? And why did the people who brought you back massacre the guards in the city?"

This... The old dean frowned, not knowing how to explain. He really wanted to say that he had come back to life from the dead, but if he said that, the scene would only become more chaotic.

Everyone is very selfish. Even if the old dean told people the disadvantages of Impure World Reincarnation, no one present would believe it. Even if they did, they would still attack the old dean and Huo Ying. No one would believe that resurrection from the dead is fake unless they experienced it personally.

"It seems you don't want to explain, Tan Yongrui, you explain it."

Huang Tianding waved his hand, and the person guarding Tan Yongrui took out the Yang Stone from his mouth.

Slowly raising his head, Tan Yongrui's eyes were full of despair.

All dead, his brother dead, his wife dead, his daughter dead.

He fought hard for XN City. He thought it was a kind of exchange. Unexpectedly, XN City did not want to exchange anything, but simply treated it as a consumable.

This kind of city should be destroyed. Every person who survives in this city, whether they dare not resist or join by flattery, does not deserve to live.

But Tan Yongrui did not have the ability to destroy the city.

He looked at the old dean, then passed through him and looked at Huo Ying who was standing behind him.

If there is one person who can destroy XN City, it must be Huo Ying.

I'm sorry, I'm not a good person, I just want revenge for my family.

Tan Yongrui's eyes turned cold, and he used up his last bit of strength to shout, "I joined the death squad on purpose just to go out of town to pick up the old dean."

"The old dean's goal is to kill everyone in the city. He wants to sacrifice everyone's lives and become a level 4 infected person. The level 4 octopus' attack on the city was planned by the old dean and the people behind him. Those who sacrificed for XN City became the old dean's sacrifice."

"It turned out to be like this. I think there is something wrong with the Research Institute, especially Scorpio. When the guards asked everyone to rebuild the city, Scorpio actually stopped them. If the guards hadn't decisively killed him, he might have found ways to harm more people."

There was discussion among the crowd. Compared to the Level 4 octopus attacking the city and the injustice they had suffered, everyone was more willing to believe that it was all a conspiracy.

"Yes, yes. I hated the guards so much. The research institute hid really well. They almost succeeded. Fortunately, I didn't have a conflict with the guards."

Similarly, no one could accept their own cowardice. Facing the oppression of the guards at that time, everyone felt hatred in their hearts. They hated the guards for their inhumanity and hated that no one in the crowd dared to stand up and lead the resistance. But they did not hate themselves for being cowardly.

Now, an excuse that can explain cowardice has appeared, and everyone immediately chooses to believe it. In this way, they go from being people who dare not resist oppression to people who have reason and have not fallen into the trap.

"Kill the old dean and avenge the dead!"

"Smash the research institute. What a bunch of rubbish scientists. All they research is harmful things!"

boom!
Someone in the crowd couldn't hold back and pulled the trigger at the old dean. Then, others also reacted and picked up their weapons to attack the old dean.

There was no need for Huang Tianding's order. In order to vent the fear brought by the level 4 octopus, the infected people immediately turned their attention to the old dean and the research institute.

Lao Niu and the scumbag were pushed forward by the crowd. Fortunately, Lao Niu was a strength-type level 3 infected person. He grabbed the scumbag, pulled him through the crowd, and hid on the side of the team.

"No, when the level 4 monster attacked the city, the guards didn't show up at all. The ones fighting the octopus were all soldiers from the investigation team and the research institute."

Lao Niu's face turned ugly: "This is crazy! Just because of a few words from a witness, these guys actually want to destroy the research institute!"

The scumbag shook his head: "It's useless, I can't stop them. These people don't care who is wrong now. They just want to vent their hatred. Only when a person who is usually high and mighty is trampled under their feet, these people will vent their anger."

"No one cares about justice. They are all devils."

The scumbag sighed. After Lianhai City was breached by monsters, all kinds of human nature were displayed vividly. Among the survivors protected by the infected, some scolded the infected for being useless, some took advantage of the chaos to rob others' property, and some even took advantage of the fight between the infected and the monsters to abandon the remaining infected and survivors and secretly drove away in an armored vehicle to escape.

The scumbag feels that his life is very tiring. At the end of the world, there may still be good people, but there are too many bad people. It is better for mankind to perish.

"Pay attention. If the old dean dies, recover his body immediately."

Huang Tianding clapped his hands and threw away the loudspeaker. The guard team had infected people who could read the memories of the dead. The living old dean had the ability to keep secrets and was difficult to torture. With the dead old dean, the guard team could do whatever they wanted.

boom!
Missiles and bullets exploded in the research institute.

The old dean wanted to dodge, but the attacks came from all directions, including many level three infected people. In just a moment, the old dean was blown to pieces.

The next second, the noisy world suddenly stopped.

Everyone saw that the torn apart old dean actually pieced himself together piece by piece and was resurrected.

Even Huang Tianding at the back of the crowd was surprised: "Is this the art of resurrection? Can it be resurrected so quickly? That's amazing! Even in Chang'an City, no one would have thought that there is such technology in the world."

Resurrected!
Damn it, the research institute has this technology, but they keep it hidden and not let everyone use it!
So, we are just cannon fodder, and our sacrifice is exchanged for the immortality of the higher-ups, and their enjoyment for generations to come?

"Hand over the resurrection technology!"

"Kill them! Loot the research institute so our families can be resurrected!"

At this moment, those who were originally hesitant in the crowd also became red-eyed, wishing they could tear the old dean to pieces immediately and take the resurrection technology out of his brain.

Look, these people deserve to die, so kill them, and of course, I deserve to die too.

Tan Yongrui stared silently at the Research Institute and at the expressionless Huo Ying behind the old dean.

Dense attacks once again shot towards the research institute, and a blue light suddenly shattered everything and turned into a blue giant.

The giant had three heads and six arms, and he looked coldly at the entire XN city.

All the attacks hit the giant and were immediately swallowed up by it, without causing any damage.

Susanoo.
