The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 135: Deep in the Mineral Abyss City

Lin Nan looked over and saw several strange human heads standing on the chains, staring at them from afar.

It was Shrimp Tail and another one she had never seen before, but Lin Nan guessed that this should be the monster that had just captured her, because the skin on its face was blown away, leaving only a layer of bloody tissue, and the white bones were vaguely visible.

A dark green light flickered in those deep eye sockets, like a gaze from hell.

"Captain... you're finally here..."

"I've been waiting... for a long time..."

"team leader……"

"Captain...go...home..."

Lin Nan heard their mumbling again. Even though they were dead and their bodies had turned into zombies, some of their subconsciousness from their previous life was still retained. Lin Nan waved the vines to amplify these consciousnesses.

I wonder if alien species have their own language?

If we can understand their language, does that mean humans can also communicate with them?
When this thought came to mind, Lin Nan was shocked by himself.

"Captain...Yu...Yu..."

At this time, the alien creature who was called Shrimp Tail in his previous life suddenly rushed towards Lin Nan and the others.

Xiu quickly took a defensive stance, but the monster stopped just in front of them.

It kept muttering to itself, staring at Xiu with its huge, lifeless eyes.

“Jade…Jade…”

Jade?
Lin Nan looked at Xiu in confusion.

The Black Wolf Sentinel maintained a defensive posture. After a while, he realized that the two alien species in front of him seemed to no longer pose a threat, and then he slowly put away his weapon.

"Guide Lin, let's go." Xiu said lightly, and then he took Lin Nan to a vertical ladder at the edge of the mine.

The elevator still had some reserve power available, so after they entered, Xiu pressed the button for the lowest floor.

With a "clang", the old elevator started to move, carrying Lin Nan and the other person down to the bottom of the bottomless pit.

The dense chains and wooden bridges around him passed by his eyes. The more Lin Nan looked at them, the more he felt that it was like Xiu's spiritual picture.

"Actually, you did this on purpose?" Lin Nan suddenly asked, "You already knew that those alien species wouldn't actually harm you. You were just using them to help you escape the surveillance of the snake group."

"..."

"You said you wouldn't hand Wang Yu over to the central government, so what's your plan for going to the contaminated area this time—"

"Guide Lin," Xiu interrupted her, "I'm sorry I can't tell you too much, but please believe me, I won't hurt you.

"Of course I know you won't hurt me." Lin Nan gently stroked the man's resolute cheek, "But why do you always have to act so stubbornly by yourself? You are already my little dog, you should try to rely on me more."

Just now, Lin Nan put a permanent mental mark on Xiu. Once the permanent mark is formed, it means that the sentinel's body, will, mental strength, and even future destiny will be closely connected with this guide.

Unless the guide abandons him voluntarily, the sentinel will never betray the guide.

Xiu Jingjing felt the softness on her cheek, leaned forward slightly, and like a large dog clinging to its owner, silently approached Lin Nan, seeking more comfort.

His eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.

"I would tell you everything, but not now. Please give me some more time..." As Xiu's voice fell, the elevator shook violently and then slowly stopped.

Lin Nan leaned forward slightly and almost hit the wall. Xiu quickly reached out to support her.

The elevator door slowly opened, and a gust of cold, damp air blew in, carrying with it the strong smell of mold and rusted metal. Lin Nan couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously shrank his neck.

The bottom of the mine was even darker than they had imagined. Only a few broken emergency lights cast a faint glow, barely illuminating the path ahead. The walls were covered in mottled water stains and rust, and the ground was littered with rubble and discarded mechanical parts, as if the place had been abandoned for years.

"Does this place lead us to the depths of the Mining Abyss City?" Lin Nan asked.

"That's right. No one dared to come down here before." Xiu took Lin Nan's hand and led her out of the elevator. "Only those of us who grew up here would come down occasionally."

"Almost all the alien species in Area 5 live at the bottom of the society. They have very sensitive noses, so you must keep your scent to a minimum when entering here."

Adjust your breathing to the lowest state, as close as possible to an ordinary piece of stone or a cup of soil, so that you can survive among these huge groups of monsters. Otherwise, as soon as you enter, they will lock you.

In the alien world, humans are the foreign invaders.

This is an extremely difficult thing for ordinary people, but Xiu and his teammates have already developed this ability due to years of going in and out, so they can go in and out here countless times and remain safe.

It was precisely because of this ability that they were targeted by the researcher.

Many people are reluctant to admit it, but we have to say that this world no longer belongs to human beings.

Lin Nan looked at the dark dungeon world in front of her, thought for a while, and then vines continued to grow around her feet. As her level increased, the world that the vines could explore became wider. They wandered silently underground, releasing mental hints indiscriminately in all directions.

If you want to avoid the monster's attack, hiding your breath as low as possible is a good way, but for Lin Nan, she has a better way.

That is the same kind of person who turns himself into a monster.

Huo Sen's words echoed in her mind again. When in a contaminated area, if you want to avoid being affected by the pollution, you must learn to understand it using their logic. When you become one of these monsters, the harm will no longer exist.

Lin Nan released mental suggestion and began to walk forward. In front of him was a monster that was completely black and looked like a mutant of some insect.

Lin Nan looked at it indifferently. The alien species, which was initially in an attacking state because it sensed the approach of a strange smell, seemed to have received some kind of signal and its whole body relaxed in an instant.

Lin Nan passed by it, and it silently retracted its claws.

A vine emerged from Lin Nan's head, shook, and said to the alien:
【I am Chief Bug! 】

As soon as this hint flashed through his mind, the alien creature actually gave Lin Nan a standard military salute.

Xiu followed Lin Nan silently, becoming more and more shocked by her abilities.

The deeper Lin Nan and his companions went, the more monsters they encountered, densely packed together in groups.

They have various shapes, some look like insects, some look like beasts, and there are even some twisted creatures that cannot be described in words.

The monsters' bodies glowed with a strange luster in the dim light. Their compound eyes, tentacles, claws, shells... each one was full of aggressiveness, as if ready to tear intruders into pieces at any time. But at this moment, they were an exception and showed unprecedented obedience to Lin Nan.

Wherever Lin Nan walked, they all made way for her and saluted her in a messy manner in a slightly funny but extremely pious posture.

Chief Bug, Chief Beast, Chief Snake...

More than a dozen vines reported all the titles they could think of in their brain, but there were too many monsters, some of which even transcended the characteristics of biological creatures. Lin Nan was dizzy and simply gave himself the identity of "Dungeon Monster Commander".

So wherever "Dungeon Monster Commander" Lin Nan went, the alien species there would salute her respectfully.
