Chapter 2039
The mechanical combat vehicle sped along. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, with a somewhat swollen dog mouth, sat in the back seat. Mogro, whose entire body was embedded with alloy armor plates, was driving. Clearly, this former leader of the Fire Skull Gang no longer trusted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's driving skills, let alone any "black technology" automatic driving.
Su Xiao, sitting in the passenger seat, picked up the "Fa Luo Pan" from under the windshield. This thing was a compass + weather forecasting device.
Through preliminary understanding, Su Xiao learned that Mogro's weapon was a biological firearm, best at mid-range combat, with extremely strong firepower. But the bullets of that biological firearm were very special, requiring Mogro to consume his life force and flesh to form.
Besides mid-range combat, Mogro had another very strong ability. Due to his Undead nature, the cells in his body would gradually become "undead," so he had to frequently strip the undead cells from his body.
And this defect was developed by Mogro into a detection ability. As for the effect, Mogro didn't say.
"How long until we reach 'that place'?"
Su Xiao looked at the Fa Luo Pan in his hand, the outer ring of which was slowly rotating. This meant it was going to rain, and it would be a torrential rain.
"At least, 6 days."
Mogro's voice, which had a metallic texture and was muffled, came. Most of the time, he was taciturn.
"6 days..."
Su Xiao closed the protective cover of the Fa Luo Pan and looked at the gradually gloomy sky. In at most a few hours, it would start to rain heavily.
Since a few days ago, Su Xiao had always felt watched. Initially, that feeling was still very close, but as more and more hunters from Shelter No. 9 gathered, that sense of surveillance became faint.
Su Xiao certainly wouldn't ignore this sense of being watched. Before, he suspected it was an assassin from another shelter. After all, he held the treatment medicine.
However, compared to the watchers of hostile forces, Su Xiao felt it was more likely to be someone from Apocalypse Paradise. He had never forgotten Reincarnation Paradise's prompt: after he killed the Combat Angel, Apocalypse Paradise would summon other Combat Angels.
Up to now, Su Xiao had already slaughtered two Combat Angels. According to his speculation, under the containment of Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise couldn't summon Combat Angels endlessly.
Su Xiao looked at the scenery outside the car window. The faint sense of surveillance from before was highly likely to be Combat Angels watching him. Even if it wasn't, he had to determine whether there were enemies tailing him. The place he was about to go was very dangerous, so he must deal with enemies with higher threat levels before arriving there.
If it weren't for the fact that the hunters of Shelter No. 9 were simply useless, Su Xiao would at least use them to cover the rear.
Su Xiao didn't do so, partly because of the cooperation with Mogro, and partly because he didn't want to bring those hunters along. Those people took cowardice and greed to the extreme.
It was fine to gather them together for firepower bombardment, but once the situation wasn't right, those people would instantly scatter like birds and beasts. If things went wrong, they would likely stab him in the back.
Precisely because of this, Su Xiao chose not to bring any of them. Even the Broken Tooth brothers and Gana, who had been in contact the longest, weren't very trustworthy.
Rumble...
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and dark clouds gathered. Before the torrential rain descended, the mechanical combat vehicle stopped beside a semi-abandoned lighthouse.
The lighthouse was like a large chimney, abandoned for a long time. Entering the interior, Su Xiao discovered that it was less than fifty square meters. The interior had been hollowed out. From the few piles of ashes on the ground, it could be seen that hunters often rested here.
The torrential rain soon descended, and the sound of splashing came from outside the lighthouse. The tower tip at the high point was even leaking rain.
Su Xiao originally intended to travel in the rain, but Mogro refused. According to Mogro, although the internal combustion engine of the mechanical combat vehicle was waterproof, he absolutely couldn't take risks. For a stretch of the road afterward, the mechanical combat vehicle was very important.
There were still over twenty days left in the mission deadline, so Su Xiao wasn't in a hurry, so he agreed to hide from the rain in the lighthouse.
The wood in the fire crackled. Su Xiao sat before the fire. Compared to the pitch-black, rainy day outside, it was clearly much warmer and drier inside the lighthouse.
"Mogro, how many years ago did you arrive at 'that place'?"
With nothing to do, Su Xiao inquired about the intelligence of the area where the superhuman plant Dibam was located.
"Many years ago."
Mogro's answer was very concise, and it was the same as saying nothing.
"Woof~"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang clearly "clashed" with Mogro, starting because the other party didn't trust its driving skills.
"Be more specific."
"That place... is very dangerous."
"..."
Clearly, Mogro belonged to the type who couldn't squeeze out a fart after a few sticks. Taciturn, cruel, but very honest.
Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha all stared at Mogro. A few minutes later, the corner of Mogro's eye twitched.
"There, there are many Undead and alien beasts."
Mogro barely squeezed out such a piece of intelligence, and then there was nothing.
"..."
Su Xiao gave up on probing Mogro for intelligence. The other party was hiding some secret, but everyone had some secrets.
"Depart when the rain stops..."
"Someone triggered my trap."
Mogro suddenly interrupted Su Xiao's words.
"Distance."
"At least 2 kilometers, give me 10 seconds."
Several conduits on Mogro's back extended, stabbing into the ground.
"Over there, three beasts... no, they are humans, three humans, 2 kilometers away, moving at high speed."
As Mogro spoke, he picked a metal armor plate from his arm. Under the armor plate was a lump of squirming black biological tissue—this was Undead cells.
Su Xiao took the metal armor plate tossed by Mogro. After hesitating for a moment, he stuck the armor plate onto the Black King arm guard on his left arm.
With a squelch, the biological tissue climbed onto the Black King arm guard. There was Deathly Silence energy inside the arm guard, so Su Xiao wasn't afraid of Mogro playing tricks.
"Heat represents approaching the enemy, vibration represents moving away, detachment... represents losing the target."
Mogro's tracking experience was very rich, but unfortunately.
The black armor plate detached from Su Xiao's arm guard. Mogro sat back before the fire in silence.
"Old brother, you're not reliable. I even took off my pants."
Baha's expression was very conflicted. It was ready to meet the enemy, who knew Mogro's tracking would fail in seconds.
"That human, cut off a piece of flesh from their leg."
The conduits on Mogro's back surged. Not long after, a lump of pitch-black biological tissue crawled into the lighthouse, and on this lump of pitch-black biological tissue, there was a large piece of flesh stuck.
This lump of pitch-black biological tissue was the Undead cells Mogro had stripped from his body earlier. He had to strip this thing from his body every once in a while, otherwise, he would become an Undead without sanity.
"Three people..."
Su Xiao squatted before the Undead cells of Mogro, seemingly hesitating about something.
"The torrential rain will last at least a few hours, should... be enough."
Su Xiao grabbed the Undead cells on the ground. Seeing this, Mogro frowned.
"It will bite..."
With a sizzle, Green Steel Shadow energy surged. The Undead cells escaped from Su Xiao's hand, leaving only some of the enemy's blood on his hand.
"What?"
Su Xiao looked at Mogro.
"Nothing."
Mogro lowered his eyelids. Because of the alliance relationship, he had even forgotten how much of a monster his ally was.
"Xiang Bubu, Amu, Baha, you wait here first."
Su Xiao stepped toward the outside of the lighthouse. He never liked to meet the enemy passively. Since the enemy liked to follow so much, he would take the initiative to meet them.
【Prompt: The Hunter has equipped the Old Hunter title.】
【Blood Mark (Active) has been activated.】
【Title Effect 1: Blood Mark (Active), can track the target by blood. Even if the prey is located in a certain derived world, native world, or trial world, it can still track accurately.】
【Prompt: This skill has no consumption, each tracking can last for 12 hours, can be used once per world progress. If the prey is located in another world, the world coordinates of the prey can be obtained, and the tracking effect ends immediately.】
A mark outlined in blood appeared before Su Xiao, and disappeared the next instant.
