Chapter 3202: The Haze of Faraines (10)

~11 min read 2,146 words

Schiller returns to the underground cave and, following the path he walked before, finds Greed's laboratory and successfully enters the laboratory with the pass.

After walking in, he first takes a look at the glass jar containing Doggett's corpse. This solution can obviously resist blood coagulation and maintain blood activity, or even re-stimulate the blood activity of the corpse; blood streaks are floating around Doggett's corpse.

The fish swim happily around it, and some hungry fish eat the parts that rot and fall off the corpse. Schiller does not find any abnormalities in these fish for the time being, and he does not find any experimental reports or the like around; it seems this is just an experimental subject Greed is using to try his luck.

Walking toward the depths of the laboratory, Schiller finds some information about the monsters in a preparation room, most of which are speculations about the monsters' weaknesses and means of restricting the monsters.

In the low-temperature refrigerated solution room, Schiller finds two kinds of potions: one is a blood solvent used for soaking Doggett's corpse, which seems to have the effect of resisting blood coagulation and keeping the blood fresh; the other is an anesthetic, with no ingredients indicated, but judging from the state, it is a high-concentration inhaled anesthetic.

Schiller takes these two drugs and then finds some painkillers and injectable stimulants here.

None of these drugs have specific names, but after appearing in his field of vision, their effects are marked, such as "an oral painkiller, take one tablet per 150 pounds, takes effect immediately."

It feels a bit like a game now.

After searching here, Schiller comes to the equipment warehouse next door and finds batteries for night-vision goggles, about seven or eight of them, increasing the battery life by about two days.

Then Schiller finds a flashlight and batteries for the flashlight; the battery life is no problem for two or three days.

Unfortunately, there are no guns in this laboratory. Schiller's dream of finding a big gun is shattered; he can only hope that Bruce and that group of survivors can successfully make contact.

Bruce and the Pale Knight arrive at the village.

At this time, quite a few Deep Ones are already patrolling the village. Watching Bruce walk toward the village in a swaggering manner, the Pale Knight grabs him, and the two hide in the alley next to them.

"What are you doing?!" The Pale Knight pulls him and says: "Didn't you see the monsters in front?"

"I saw them, but we are following from afar; they won't discover us."

"Aren't you afraid they hunt by smell?" The Pale Knight says somewhat helplessly: "I advise you not to be too reckless. It is difficult for the two of us to deal with one Deep One without thermal weapons; if we run into two, we can only run."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Bruce says: "I just smelled a trace of blood; someone human must be injured. As long as we follow the bloodstains, we can find the survivors."

The Pale Knight hears the excitement in his tone. He doesn't know what Bruce wants to do, but he has a bad premonition, saying: "You shouldn't be killing people, right?"

"Remove the 'should' and the 'not'."

"Aren't you Batman?"

"I am not Batman."

The Pale Knight is choked, but still says: "You had better not have designs on those survivors; they are useful."

"But the premise is that they have to be victims with no power to truss a chicken, right?" Bruce says: "If they are thugs holding guns, the things that happen next will be difficult to handle."

"Fine, you can disarm them, but it's best not to hurt them." The Pale Knight says: "Punching them twice is not impossible, but don't kill them."

Bruce seems somewhat surprised, turning his head to look him over and saying: "I thought you would be that kind of inflexible old antique."

"Have you ever considered that I used to be the Joker?"

"The Joker is about the same... forget it, let's not mention this. I have my own ways, follow me."

After speaking, Bruce sneaks out along the wall. The Pale Knight also sees the bloodstains in the middle of the road at this time. The bloodstains were obviously left by humans, but there is a spray-like pool of blood, which looks like it belongs to a Deep One. Looking at the bullet marks next to it, it seems that a group of humans and Deep Ones fought to a draw here earlier.

Bruce quickly sneaks behind the Deep Ones; the opponent really doesn't just hunt with eyes and immediately detects the abnormality.

As soon as they turn their heads, they meet Bruce's blue eyes.

"Ah!" Bruce lets out a loud shout and turns to run, with the Pale Knight following closely behind.

The Deep Ones immediately chase after them. Don't look at their strange body shapes; their running speed is not slow at all, and they quickly narrow the distance between the two sides.

At first, the Pale Knight thought Bruce was running around randomly, but soon he discovered that there were intermittent human bloodstains on the ground. It seems Bruce was running while following the traces left by the survivors.

The Pale Knight knows what he is going to do now, but it is too late to stop him. If he stops, he will definitely be caught by the Deep Ones, so he can only run for his life.

Seeing the bloodstains finally stop at the door of a residential house, Bruce flips over the wall without thinking. The Pale Knight sees the judgment die flash by; he didn't see the specific value clearly, but it was definitely a success.

The Pale Knight also wants to try an appraisal, but he doesn't run as fast as Bruce. In the time it takes to be distracted, the Deep Ones have already caught up. If the judgment fails, he will definitely be arrested on the spot, so he has to go around to the back door.

Fortunately, Bruce's aggro-pulling is quite stable; neither of the two Deep Ones comes to chase him, and they all flip over the wall following Bruce.

With a bang, the front door of the residential house is directly smashed open.

Bruce and the panicked survivors only have a face-to-face encounter, and the vicious Deep Ones behind have already rushed in.

Bruce doesn't stop for even half a step, flexibly squeezing through the two strong men, lifting the table lamp next to him to smash the glass of the window on the back wall, and then leaps out.

Leaving only the survivors and the Deep Ones staring at each other.

There are six survivors, four men and two women. The men are relatively strong; except for one with a grazed head, the others are in good condition. The women also look like fitness enthusiasts who exercise all year round, but one of them is in poor condition, her shoulder is constantly bleeding, and the other seems to be changing her dressing.

Everyone is stunned by this sudden intrusion.

But they have no time to look at Bruce, who pulled the monsters here; they immediately pick up the weapons at hand. The girls also decisively rush to the fireplace, light the prepared torches, and constantly wave them while roaring, wanting to scare the Deep Ones away.

The Deep Ones also don't seem to expect so many people here; they are also stunned for a moment, wanting to chase the previous culprit, but their body size makes it impossible for them to slip past so many people. If they want to grab those blue eyes, they must first defeat the humans in front of them.

Bruce jumps out from behind the window, flips over the backyard wall in three or two moves, and after exhaling, says to the Pale Knight who hasn't entered the yard yet: "You stay here, wait until they are almost done fighting, then go in and pick up the weapons. I'll go for another run."

"Wait!" The Pale Knight calls him and says: "Are you sure they will both be injured?"

"I think it's about the same. If it doesn't work, wait for me to come back and finish them off. I'm leaving."

After speaking, Bruce runs away again. The Pale Knight looks at the direction he ran away in a daze, and he asks the Transcendent in his mind, "How many points of constitution did this guy put in?"

"His intelligence is only 5." The Transcendent repeats in the Pale Knight's mind: "His size and willpower are also low; basically all points are in constitution and agility."

The Pale Knight seems to know what Bruce is going to do.

Bruce, who has already rushed to the street, asks the Transcendent in his mind while running: "I am not using the Psychoanalysis skill anymore, can you return those three skill points to me?"

"No way, no take-backs."

"Fine, I was just asking, it's okay if you don't."

Bruce quickly finds another group of patrolling Deep Ones at a turn. He rushes over and says "Hi," and then the Deep Ones chase after him with tridents in their hands, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

Leading this group of Deep Ones to run across a street, he sees two more at the turn and pulls them along. Continuing to run forward, he finds three more at the entrance of a shop, and they also join the chasing team.

"What exactly do you want to do?" The Transcendent asks in his mind.

"Didn't you say it? My speed is far beyond the Deep Ones."

"And then? You just plan to keep running?"

"Deep Ones need to breathe, right?"

"Of course, fish also need oxygen."

"Then that's it." Bruce says while running: "I can't breathe up all the oxygen on Earth, but they can only use the oxygen stored in their lungs. Do you think their endurance can be stronger than mine?"

After speaking, he ignores the Transcendent and starts running wildly through the streets of the village. Whenever he meets Deep Ones, he greets them, and basically, he can successfully make them join the chasing team.

"Aren't you afraid they will use mental attacks against you?" The Transcendent asks again.

"Impossible, I already discovered it during the dissection. Their respiratory organs and special vocal organs cannot be used at the same time; they can't talk when running."

The Transcendent is silent again.

"Then what if there are other monsters?"

"If you say so, then there must be." Bruce flips over the wall of an alley again, looks back at the fishmen scrambling to jump over, and smiles.

But just as he rushes to this main street, he sees a hulking behemoth standing at the end of the street, and the Transcendent's gloating voice rings out.

"Deep Ones also have levels. The ones chasing you are hybrids transformed from humans, and the one in front of you is a pureblood."

As soon as that behemoth turns its head, it shows its difference from other short fishmen. Its entire head is completely in the shape of a fish monster, with protruding eyeballs emitting bright yellow light, two rows of sharp teeth in its mouth, and spikes growing on its arms and legs.

Most importantly, its body size is much larger than other Deep Ones, with a height of nearly four meters and bulging muscles all over its body; even the strongest adult human is like a fragile baby in front of it.

When it rushes over, Bruce discovers that its speed is not slow either, which is as it should be; the stronger the muscle explosive power, the faster the speed naturally. Big guys don't have any weaknesses of slow speed.

Looking at the monster rushing over like a tank, Bruce is not panicked. He makes a small circle on the street and flips back from the narrow alley.

The alley is too narrow for the big guy to squeeze in, but its speed going around the main road is not slow, and it quickly catches up with Bruce again.

But at this time, Bruce has already sat in a car, turned the ignition, and the car shoots out with a step on the gas pedal.

He holds the steering wheel with one hand and a cigarette stained with blood from the passenger seat with the other, pulls one out, lights it, and puts it in his mouth.

Looking at the misty rural road, Bruce exhales a puff of smoke, smiles, and says.

"Next, it's time for the performance of Gotham's five-star good citizen." ===== CHAPTER 3203 =====

Looking at the mist-filled country road, Bruce exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled, and said.

"Next up is the performance time for a five-star citizen of Gotham."
