Chapter 3157

The mushroom brother's behavior could be described as sending charcoal in snowy weather. Although with those 20 death-seekers, locking onto the Ultimate Insect's location was only a matter of time, the sooner they found the Ultimate Insect, the higher their side's chances of winning.

The scenery outside the car window flew by. Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Xiao began to estimate the various contractors who would participate in this matter. First were the three brothers of the National Football Team, Scaled Dragon Alec, and Guang Mu. The first two had joined the Institution long ago, while Guang Mu had joined recently.

With such a major event happening, these people would inevitably notice and follow their main force to Kedu in the Eastern Continent to fish for benefits from subsequent events or chaotic battles.

Black Rose had joined the Eclipse Organization side. Su Xiao guessed that the other party was likely already in the Eastern Continent and was currently rushing to Kedu.

In this world, in a head-on one-on-one fight, there were three people who posed a threat to Su Xiao: Xian Ji, Enzo, and Alec.

Su Xiao very much hoped that Xian Ji would go to Kedu now. The Institution and the Eclipse had dispatched a total of more than 8,000 extraordinary beings, forming a siege circle from all directions and gradually closing in toward the center.

These extraordinary beings were all tough guys who often dealt with dangerous objects and had survived intact; one could imagine the experience of being besieged by them.

While Su Xiao was thinking, the vehicle stopped with a creak. After he got out of the car, he walked into an underground warehouse. The area here was about a thousand square meters, and there were spherical protrusions on the walls; these were layouts used to stabilize spatial teleportation.

Everyone in the underground warehouse was busy. Su Xiao stood on a teleportation array, and the light and shadow in front of him flickered, the world seeming to be pulled into strips. When everything returned to normal, he was still standing on the teleportation array, still in an underground warehouse, the furnishings 90% similar to the previous one.

【Prompt: You have arrived at Kedu, Eastern Continent.】

Seeing the landmark prompt, Su Xiao felt relieved and walked out of the underground warehouse.

The sky was clear for thousands of miles. Kedu in the morning gave people a feeling of ease and peace, and one could faintly hear the sound of an organ.

Su Xiao looked around at the sparse pedestrians on the street and first gave orders to the four members of the Fierce Dog squad.

"Xili, your Fierce Dog squad go and seize the high ground of Kedu."

Su Xiao wanted the high ground for Ge Ze Wu. That sniper from an alien race had already quit the Southern Alliance and joined the Institution. It wasn't because the salary and treatment here were better, but because after coming here, he no longer seemed special.

Ge Ze Wu only had one ear? Very special? In the Institution, there were even those who had been injured in battle and only had one testicle left.

As for alien races? What is an alien race? Have you seen a pig-headed human? Such people existed in the Institution, named Butcher Zili. He looked like a pig-headed human, but in reality, he had been affected by a dangerous object during a mission, which was why he became like this, though he was originally a rough man.

After Ge Ze Wu came to the Institution, he found that he wasn't special at all. The Institution members' evaluation of him was surprisingly consistent: "His marksmanship is damn accurate, iron sights are invincible."

Ten minutes later, in the attic on the top floor of the Great Clock Tower in the center of Kedu.

Ge Ze Wu lay on a dark green thick cloth. A sniper cannon more than 3 meters long with wind patterns all over the barrel had been set up. This sniper cannon was named "Believer No. 5" and was developed by the Eclipse Organization. The maximum single-shot loading capacity was one round, and mechanical sights had been specially polished on this gun for Ge Ze Wu.

15 bullets were placed aside. Ge Ze Wu could only fire 15 shots. The power and precision of this firearm and ammunition were impeccable, but the burden of use was also great. Estimating the price of these bullets with soul coins, each bullet was worth about 350 soul coins, a friendly sponsorship from Kingsley.

Ge Ze Wu had two tasks today: one was to deal with the Ultimate Insect, and the other was to deal with contractors. As long as any contractor caused trouble, Ge Ze Wu would let them know what it felt like to be hit by a bullet worth 350 soul coins each.

Baha circled at high altitude. It wasn't detecting the situation in Kedu; Kedu was a city, and the surrounding traffic routes were accessible in all directions, with both trains and highways. Baha's task was to patrol the outer areas of Kedu to prevent suspicious targets from leaving Kedu.

Bubu Wang acted freely, searching everywhere after blending into the environment. Unfortunately, Benny wasn't there. Benny was the best in the Su Xiao squad at finding people and objects. After all, every time a world started, Benny would go treasure hunting alone because she wasn't good at fighting.

On the south side of Kedu, on the roof of a mill, three figures were standing there, back to back, arms crossed, looking ahead.

"Big brother, they haven't come yet, this posture is a bit tiring."

"Second brother, don't panic. The three of us brothers are here today to swear brotherhood in the Peach Garden..."

"Big brother, you've got the wrong show, this isn't Water Margin."

The National Football Team's second brother smiled slightly. Hearing this, the eldest brother coughed and said, "Stop farting, this is my sense of humor."

"Se-second brother, Peach Garden brotherhood, seems to be... Three Kingdoms?"

The third brother's tone carried a hint of suspicion. After all, his second brother's tone was too firm.

"Fart, it's Water Margin. Song Jiang, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei's brotherhood."

The second brother's tone carried a bit of sorrow, feeling sorrow for his third brother's literary literacy.

"Is, is that so?"

The third brother looked confused. His second brother's tone was too firm, which made him lose his confidence instantly.

"People are here."

The second brother's words made the other two look serious. A figure walked along the winding path. It was Guang Mu; she had come to seek cooperation.

"Guang Mu sister, you're late."

The eldest brother crossed his arms, his expression calm. The second brother was standing on his head in a one-legged stance, and above him was the third brother.

Guang Mu looked up at this scene, the corner of her mouth twitching.

"Three, according to reliable intelligence, Kuku Lin Bai Ye is about to take action against an ultimate big boss named the Ultimate Insect. Both of our parties are members of the Institution and can participate in the subsequent battle openly. When there is an opportunity to besiege the Ultimate Insect, we can join forces.

The premise is that we form a squad, and with the squad's advantage, occupy a higher kill contribution in the chaotic battle. In this way, the kill rewards will belong to us. I believe your main quests have long been completed, right? So many days have passed, as long as it's not a main quest with perversely high difficulty, it's already done. After we succeed, we will leave this world immediately."

Guang Mu explained the plan in detail. Not only her, but Alec, Black Rose, and others had also cooperated, including even Enzo, that is, Water Brother. Water Brother was now a member of the Eclipse Organization.

"Guang Mu, you coming to find the three of us brothers is looking up to us. We won't reveal this plan to Brother Bai Ye."

The eldest brother's words made Guang Mu's heart sink. She was very concerned about the title "Brother Bai Ye".

"To tell you the truth, we three brothers got to know Brother Bai Ye when we were in the First Tier, often having real-man three-on-one battles. As for the results, cough, well~, let's not mention it."

When the eldest brother said this, he changed the subject.

"Guang Mu, you seeking cooperation this time is well-intentioned, but, if we happen to meet in a native world and there's something good, Brother Bai Ye occasionally thinks of us three brothers. You coming to find us to scheme against him, this... isn't good."

The eldest brother grabbed his hand, and a golden long-handled energy hammer appeared in his hand. The second and third brothers were the same.

"Indeed not good, excuse me."

Guang Mu made a gesture to leave, and the three brothers laughed.

"Guang Mu, do you know why Black Rose avoids us?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Guang Mu's face began to turn blue.

"No, you do."

The three brothers rushed forward, pouncing on Guang Mu from a high position, each holding an energy hammer, looking exceptionally enthusiastic.

Kedu Central Street. Although the morning sun wasn't scorching, there weren't many people on the street, which showed how slow the pace of life was for the people here.

Su Xiao walked on the street. Finding where the Ultimate Insect was wasn't as difficult as he had imagined. As long as Su Xiao could get close to a certain range of the other party, he would definitely be able to sense it, just as the other party could also sense him.

Of course, this perception range wasn't far, about ten meters or so. If he didn't know the Ultimate Insect was in Kedu, looking for it this way would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Su Xiao looked around at both sides of the street, but there was nothing worth noting. A restaurant came into view, and since he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, he simply walked toward the restaurant.

Just as Su Xiao passed in front of a gallery, his brain buzzed, his body went numb from intense pain, and his soul felt like it was about to be torn into millions of pieces.

Su Xiao's health points dropped by 35% instantly, and continued to slide with a subsequent real soul damage of 15% of his maximum health per second. Because his soul strength was high, this damage had already been highly mitigated. If it were someone with soul strength below 80 points, they would die instantly upon entering this range, without even a chance to react.

Su Xiao's body was instantly wrapped in a crystal layer, but it had no effect. What could be determined now was that this wasn't an enemy's surprise attack, but more like a trap. If it was a trap, retreat.

Su Xiao leaped backward lightly. He seemed to have broken free from a domain, the pain all over his body disappeared, and the feeling that his soul was about to be torn apart vanished without a trace.

At any time, one must be calm when encountering things. Shouting might seem to bring courage, but in reality, it is a manifestation of inner fear.

The street was the same as before; no strong enemies appeared, and there were no subsequent attacks. The attack just now came without any warning.

Su Xiao moved his numb right hand. That soul-targeting domain just now reminded him of a dangerous object: Dangerous Object S-002 (Death Grail).

【Dangerous Object S-002 (Death Grail)】

Origin: Unknown.

Characteristics: After integrating various rumors, the appearance of S-002 is an ancient metal cup...

Current status: Contained.

Danger tendency: Within 10 meters of S-002 (Death Grail) is a death domain. Except for a very small number of people, civilians or extraordinary beings who approach S-002 will die instantly.

Whenever a living being dies within the death domain of S-002, the death domain absorbs soul power, causing the area of the death domain to expand (817 years ago, the death domain once covered a quarter of the continent's area; within the range, only a very few intelligent creatures survived by luck, with a probability lower than 0.0001%), until someone drinks the liquid in S-002, the death domain of S-002 will shrink back to a 10-meter range. After the liquid in the cup is full, the above process will repeat.

Statistics: A total of 17 attempts to destroy S-002 (Death Grail) have all failed. The pattern of appearance has not been determined. The death domain of S-002 is suspected to be able to affect the entire continent.

Su Xiao thought of a possibility: someone had stolen the Dangerous Object S-002 (Death Grail) from the containment vault of the Institution headquarters and brought it to Kedu. If it were in the past, this would be impossible, but now it was possible. In order to deal with the Ultimate Insect, he and Kingsley had sent too many people to Kedu.

And now, the Dangerous Object S-002 (Death Grail) was near Su Xiao, at most no more than 20 meters away, or even closer.

PS: (I updated 10,000 words today. I might need to adjust my jet lag in a couple of days. 3 days ago, Fei Wen quit smoking. I've been smoking for almost ten years, and suddenly I felt, why smoke? So I quit. I'm also preparing to adjust my jet lag recently, then stabilize, and pursue a healthy life.)
