Infinite Reincarnation: Survival Begins from Ishimura

#655 - Chapter 655 The Fourth Umbilical Cord

"Finally, it's over."

Mu Xing stretched his body, yawning widely, the feeling of fatigue slightly dissipating with the movement.

He turned his head to look at Feng Zi and Ye Wei behind him, his eyes filled with concern, and asked:

"Aren't you two going back to rest for a while?"

Feng Zi and Ye Wei looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and Ye Wei said:

"Let's go eat first, do you want to join us?"

Mu Xing rolled his eyes, but a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

He waved his hand casually, teasingly saying:

"Alright, alright, I don't want to be a third wheel, disturbing your romantic time together. May lovers be united, and the single dog walks alone."

"Pfft..."

These words successfully amused Feng Zi and Ye Wei, and laughter echoed in the air.

Feng Zi smiled and kicked Mu Xing in the butt, pretending to be disgusted and saying:

"Get lost, get lost, stop being so glib."

Mu Xing laughed loudly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared like a ghost on the city wall in an instant, leaving only his hearty laughter faintly lingering in the air.

...

"Xiao Die, Xiao Die, where's my reward?"

As soon as he returned to the military camp, Mu Xing shouted loudly, his voice particularly loud in the empty camp.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Die, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, opened the door with a resentful expression.

"Yo, what's going on? Such heavy dark circles?"

Mu Xing looked surprised, a hint of teasing flashing across his lips.

Xiao Die snorted softly, her tone full of complaint:

"I've really never met such a troublesome captain like you. I haven't closed my eyes for days and nights for this mission."

Before Mu Xing could speak, Xiao Die had already skillfully stuffed a token into his hand.

"This is?" Mu Xing looked at the token in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"Reward token, Captain, go and redeem your reward yourself."

Xiao Die yawned, casually glanced outside the door, and asked again: "Captain, where are the others?"

"Dismissed," Mu Xing replied crisply.

"So fast?" Xiao Die's eyes widened slightly, obviously a little surprised.

"Now that the mission is over, naturally everyone goes back to their own home and finds their own mother."

Mu Xing said half-jokingly.

Xiao Die was stunned for a moment before she suddenly came back to her senses.

Yes, they were originally just a temporary assembled team.

Once the mission was completed, disbanding was the inevitable ending.

"Then Captain..." Xiao Die hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, we'll meet again," Mu Xing said firmly, his tone carrying an undeniable power.

Xiao Die tilted her head and looked at Mu Xing's eyes, which were as bright and firm as stars, and a warm current surged in her heart.

"If the defense line encounters trouble in the future, you can come to me."

Mu Xing said solemnly.

Xiao Die was stunned again, then nodded gently, her voice soft but with a hint of gratitude: "I know, thank you, Captain."

"Right!"

Mu Xing had just taken a few steps when he stopped again, his expression serious:

"Please say thank you to those behind us who are working silently and providing support."

That's right.

From the beginning, Mu Xing knew clearly in his heart that Xiao Die was never fighting alone.

Behind her was an entire huge and silently dedicated team.

When they were fighting desperately with the power of chaos on the front line, charging into battle, countless people were silently supporting them day and night behind them.

In that anomaly point controlled by the power of chaos.

Every seemingly easy and ordinary teleportation, every smooth information connection, behind it was a precise and huge system operating at full power to provide them with support.

It was because of the silent dedication of thousands of supporters that this hard-won great victory was achieved.

Although Xiao Die never mentioned it, Mu Xing knew it all too well.

Hearing this, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on Xiao Die's face, that smile was like the warm sun of spring, dispelling her many days of fatigue and haze.

"Captain, I will convey it to them for you," Xiao Die's voice sounded.

...

After saying goodbye to Xiao Die, Mu Xing hurried towards the reward distribution office.

Just now, the embryo energy in R'lyeh Holy City was running low, and it sent an emergency request for help to Mu Xing.

It was really hard to imagine that being in the Holy City, which should have an endless supply of energy, would have a situation of energy depletion?

After some in-depth understanding, Mu Xing realized that it was not that the Holy City's energy reserves were insufficient, but that there was a problem with the embryo's absorption of energy.

The main reason was that the Hunter's embryo level was too low, and it had not even reached the upper echelon.

For this still underdeveloped mortal fetus, the Holy City's energy was too advanced, too pure, and it could not absorb it at all, which led to the forced stagnation of the gestation process.

So, Mu Xing was urgently dispatched to find suitable energy.

Moreover, what the embryo needed was not ordinary energy, but the top energy representing the origin of matter.

Mu Xing naturally did not have such precious things on him, so he could only go to the secondary warehouse to try his luck.

Reward Distribution Office

Mu Xing handed in the token in his hand.

In an instant, blue light flashed, and two exquisite crystal boxes landed steadily on the counter in front of him.

Mu Xing slowly opened the first box.

Inside, there was a mass of red flesh lying quietly.

The flesh seemed to have life, pulsating rhythmically under the seal of the crystal ball.

[Unknown Apostle Core: The core of an unnameable descendant, containing unknown power, please use with caution.]

Mu Xing stared intently at the item description, his brow furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself.

What does this mean? Is it setting me up again?

Because he keenly sensed that the aura emanating from this apostle core was extremely similar to the aura of the apostle umbilical cord he had obtained from Martin before?

The similarity was so high that Mu Xing even suspected that this core and that umbilical cord were very likely from the same mysterious apostle.

"Click."

Mu Xing gently closed the box and shifted his gaze to the other box.

In this crystal box, there was an extremely strange umbilical cord sealed.

[Fourth Umbilical Cord: The fourth umbilical cord born from an unknown creature, used to connect to the unknowable domain.]

Mu Xing looked at this umbilical cord with a speechless expression, and couldn't help but complain in his heart:

Why does this Survival System always give such strange rewards?

Connect to the unknowable domain? What on earth does that mean?

Wait...

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Mu Xing's mind, and he thought of the embryo still sleeping in R'lyeh.

Could it be...

Is this the Survival System specifically prepared for the Lord of R'lyeh?

After all, this layout was carefully planned by the Survival System, and it must be clear about the transaction between the Lord of R'lyeh and himself.

In this way, this umbilical cord is likely to be the "tightening spell" for him to restrain that Outer God in the future.

Thinking of this

Mu Xing couldn't help but admire the Survival System's meticulous and sinister thoughts in his heart.

However, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He had to say, he quite liked this kind of unexpected surprise.

Mu Xing was worried about how he should restrain that powerful Outer God after the embryo hatched.

He didn't expect the Survival System to have prepared a countermeasure for him in advance, which was really like sending charcoal in the snow.
