Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 93 Hua Xinyan Controlling the Polluted Monster
"Let's go, let's go get the pollution level checked and register it first."

Yuanqiao led Cody out of the civilian camp. First-time visitors to the supply station could receive a purification agent and a pollution inhibitor for free.

After being infected, clearing the contamination level requires a large amount of purification agents. Since there aren't enough resources and time to clean it up, contamination inhibitors exist to prevent people from losing their minds and turning into monsters due to high levels of contamination during combat.

Inhibitors can also control the pollution in the body for a period of time, and then give you more time and hope to purchase purification agents.

Before setting off, Yuanqiao bought 200 purification potions, because it was inevitable to get injured when fighting monsters, and even a little bit of monster blood on the wound would cause a 2% to 10% contamination level.

Several people lined up and walked past the testing instrument; a scan would reveal the level of contamination.

Yuanqiao and the others had protective suits and were not injured while cleaning up the monsters, so they were not contaminated.

Cody detected a 3% pollution level. He used the purification agent from the supply station, and Gao Leyu took out his own and gave it to him to use.

"Thank you, big brother, you're a good person."

"It's alright, don't cry. Let's find out if we can get back to the outer city. Isn't there a giant teleportation array there?"

Gao Leyu said that the child is now a bit dependent on them, but they want to explore the underground city, which would be quite dangerous, so it is not suitable to bring a child along.

"It seems we can't go back. We can send supplies in, but we can't send people or supplies out of the dungeon."

Cody pursed his lips. Actually, he wanted to go to the polluted beast tribe that the guard had mentioned to find his brother, even if it was just his body, he wanted to cremate it and bring it back.

Later, An Muya suggested that they go for a walk around the area. Yuan Qiao and she went to familiarize themselves with the terrain, while Gao Leyu and Shi Liu asked around for information about the underground city.

The iE combination is an extrovert paired with a steady introvert.

Yuanqiao: "This central area is really big."

As they walked along, they gradually lost sight of anyone. This area was already considered dangerous. Although most of the polluted monsters had been cleared away, people still dared not come to the outskirts of Central Street.

The buildings were arranged in a way that suggested a commercial street, which must have been bustling with activity before. They moved forward cautiously, their eyes scanning the area warily, because just moments before, a tainted monster the size of a raccoon cat, emitting a putrid stench, had suddenly sprung out and attacked Anmuya.

He was struck dead by lightning.

"Muya, your skills are really cool, and they're so powerful."

An Muya smiled at Yuan Qiao.

Walking down another street, you see buildings of various styles. Some are towering spires covered with mysterious vines that sway gently as if greeting passersby; others are low stone houses with tightly closed doors and windows, as if resisting the dangers of the outside world.

Not far along, a monstrous, wolf-like creature darted out from the street corner. It reeked of a nauseating stench, and its eyes glowed with an eerie red light.

Yuan Qiao immediately took out his lightsaber and activated it.

Anmuya rapidly formed hand seals, her body enveloped in electricity. She had accumulated resources and money, and in a dungeon, she had exchanged a beginner's guide to lightning magic with a merchant.

Therefore, her lightning talent skills were gradually developed and used, which could be considered as her direction towards lightning-based cultivation.

The monster wolf roared and charged at them, its sharp claws slashing towards Yuanqiao's face.

Yuan Qiao flashed forward, dressed in a white protective suit, she rushed towards the monster wolf like a white lightning bolt, her lightsaber carrying a sharp aura, fiercely stabbing into the monster's body.

The monster, in pain, tried to turn around and fight back, but was rendered powerless by Anmuya's electric net and staggered.

Yuanqiao pressed his advantage, and with a few more sword strikes, finally killed the monster, leaving his protective suit stained with some blood.

Yuanqiao really wanted to take half a bucket of water from the spatial storage to rinse himself off and clean away the putrid bloodstains.

Considering the possibility of killing monsters later, I'll just have to be patient.

The two continued their investigation, occasionally spotting several corrupted monsters darting about, but seeing no trace of humans. "Such a large city, what a pity. How did it suddenly get invaded, and how did it spawn such a large population of corrupted monsters?"

Yuanqiao muttered and grumbled.

The pollution monsters are universally hated and are found everywhere. No one knows what their purpose is, and they don't seem to be plundering resources.

And could his own black mark be used to gain some advantage in this dungeon teeming with corrupted monsters?

As I observed these exotic buildings, my gaze fell upon the clock tower in front of me.

"Is that Hua Xinyan!?"

Yuan Qiao was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a girl with her body turned to the side in the clock tower window and said to An Muya.

Anmuya looked up.

Yuan Qiao: "Let's go see if Captain Huo and the others have arrived."

Not far away, as the two approached the clock tower, a swarm of mantis-like corrupted monsters surged in from all directions.

These monsters were slender, with triangular heads held high, surrounding the two people in a circle.

Those massive, scythe-like forelimbs were covered with serrated blades, each one gleaming coldly as if forged from fine steel.

"It's a bit difficult to fight up close. By the way, this area isn't far from the camp, so it should be an area that the guards have cleared."

Yuan Qiao sheathed his lightsaber, activated his energy shield, and prepared to use [The Angry Little Flame] at any moment.

Just as the two were bracing themselves for battle, these giant mantises looked like formidable opponents.

They simply surrounded the two people and did not attack.

Yuan Qiao thought that Hua Xinyan was upstairs in the clock tower, probably on the fourth floor. Could it be that these mantises don't attack humans? That's why the guard team didn't clear them out.

But they surrounded them tightly, their sharp forelimbs poised to kill them at any moment.

Hua Xinyan slowly walked out of the clock tower at that moment.

"Hua Xinyan?" It really is her.

"What are you doing here? Where is the others?" Hua Xinyan said to them with a grin and a hint of arrogance.

Then, somehow, she managed to make the mantis monsters by the door spread out a bit.

She wrinkled her nose in disgust; the smell was too strong.

Yuan Qiao didn't answer her, but instead asked, "Where are Captain Huo and the others? Aren't they with you?"

Hua Xinyan was somewhat dissatisfied. Yuan Qiao was now surrounded by the mantis monsters she controlled, yet he was still so unfriendly to her.

"I don't know. We got separated, especially that Jiang Yiyi. She tried to kill me and I almost died. Luckily, I survived because of some good fortune."

She glanced at Yuan Qiao, then at An Muya, and said with a mixture of grievance and pride.

Would someone else harm her? Yuan Qiao didn't believe it, and thought that Hua Xinyan must have done something strange again to get revenge.

Perhaps Yuan Qiao's expression was too obvious, so Hua Xinyan got tired of pretending and just said:

"Now you are surrounded by my mantis monsters, aren't you going to surrender? They are all second-tier strength. If you acknowledge me as your master and obey me, I can lead you through this dungeon."
