Chapter 89 Little Bob's Encounter
It turns out that it is a very wise decision to install [nut-type energy shield] on a multi-function capsule off-road vehicle.
Because driving alone in the ruins of the empire requires considerable risks. Even if the embers obtain a complete map and can avoid the dungeon area like landmines, due to the significant increase in the advancement speed, they will often encounter groups of free wild monsters. Monster clusters composed of zombies, blood vines and shadow-eating insects seem to have considerable malicious intentions towards mechanical vehicles. The roar of the engine further stimulates their aggressiveness. Often, they often find off-road vehicles and start chasing them wildly.
Fortunately, with the nut-type energy shield, Yuchen only needs to pay a low credit equivalent to the original "first-level" shield, and can use the eighty-point shield to resolve most attacks. The yellow shield light shield cover shows a tall appearance that looks like a human-shaped nut wall. His eyes are firm and his chest is raised, and he is responsible for blocking the attacks from all directions, causing Yuchen to fall into the enemy camp for several times, and he can rush out without any danger.
Buzz!
He galloped through the ruins of the empire, and felt relieved in his heart. He thought that if he could install the [corn cannon] or the [sunflower machine gun], he might be able to kill seven in seven out and fight the monsters alone.
However, the ruins of the Empire are not their own back garden after all. The embers were not mistakenly entered into the dungeon, nor were they flooded by monsters. Instead, they were stopped by the game characters.
"parking!"
Two high-level agents wearing foundation logos on their chests stopped the off-road vehicle. One of the men with glasses saw that it was Embers, and his cold expression eased a little: "The Embers of the Dark Curtain Apostle, the passage is prohibited in front of you. If you insist on going to the east of the city, take a detour."
Little Bob's hiding place was assigned to the east area of the university, so since the embers entered the west gate, they walked straight straight. If they did not change the direction, they would inevitably break into the center of the ruins, which is where the [Sun Ladder] collapsed.
According to the map, a large copy called "Blood Vine Garden" once stood, and a large copy of the "Blood Vine Garden" appeared. The reason for the formation is probably related to the ancient blood vine with the same name "Sun Ladder". In addition, the [Sun Temple] next to the Sun Ladder has also become a large copy. He was curious and planned to take a look from a distance and take a detour, but he did not expect to be stopped in advance halfway.
Seeing the foundation members who suddenly appeared, Yu Chen also realized that the large convoy that had previously rushed into the imperial penalty area should have been aimed at the few large dungeons, or medium dungeons located around the large dungeons. The player team basically only explored and honed in the "safety" area outside the penalty area under the leadership of their respective captains, which could not have much impact on the entire wasteland operation.
"I dare ask you two, what happened before?"
Although he guessed it in his heart, Yuchen still chose to ask questions knowingly, and the four visibility generated by the character mark gave him the answer he wanted.
"Since you've asked sincerely, I might as well reveal one or two to you. The Sun Ladder, you should be more familiar with us. The magnificent building used to seal the Blood Vine is actually the largest imperial relics in the entire life forbidden area. Even though it has completely collapsed, it still has the highest priority recycling value. Moreover, there is a Sun Temple nearby, so the three major organizations and wasteland groups have directly deployed in the center of the ruins. Now it is the stage of attack, and the battle is extremely fierce. If you get rashly, there is only one dead end. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Yu Jing looked at the dark curtains and felt a little regretful that he could not have a pair of Mileage Eyes. Another foundation member saw Yu Jing's thoughts and kindly took out a telescope to make him get what he wanted.
"Thank you!"
Unexpectedly, I experienced the warmth from the organization, and the embers thanked each other repeatedly, and then I used the telescope to see the war scene deep in the dark curtain.
The first thing that caught my eye was a large number of stone giants. They were not only strong and powerful, but also had many thick blood vines wrapped around them, which could be used as chains or turned into armor. As the ember's pupils focused, the telescope immediately showed the general information about the stone giant.
It turns out that these stone giants were transformed by the collapsed sun staircase. The reason is that the magnificent building used to seal the ancient blood vine is not only filled with an eternal aura, but also has a certain assimilation with the ancient blood vine. This has not only attracted a large number of living believers, but also became the best place for the breeding of blood vine. With the dual blessing of faith and life, these stones have gained a certain amount of intelligence and powerful momentum. The worst among them can also reach the five-star legend. No wonder the three major organizations and wasteland groups have to mobilize so much.
On the side of the foundation, Embers saw the war weapons that were born from the fusion of [Wasteland Base Vehicle] and [Manor]. The countless corn tanks, watermelon tanks and cherry self-destructing trucks launched cluster attacks on the stone giants. There were also many pumpkin airships and pepper bombers floating in the sky. The outer edge of the battle circle was covered with corn cannons and other plant machinery that could not be named after the embers.
In short, although the names of these war weapons are a bit funny, their power is extremely amazing. With their existence, the foundation can greatly reduce personnel losses. Yuchen took a few more glances at the combat effect of the corn cannon, and he was eager to get his eyes open. He made up his mind to install one of his off-road vehicles sooner or later. Although the expenses are huge and time-limited, he is confident that he will earn more merits.
It is also worth mentioning that Embers also saw the farmer in person here, but his dog-legged Sunflower driver disappeared.
In this regard, Yuchen did not pay much attention to this, so he returned the telescope to the members of the foundation. He immediately drove to the old houses in the east area of the city. In order to cover up his eyes, when he approached the houses, he got off the car and walked forward. After confirming that no one was following him, he finally got into a narrow alley and folded a withered blood vine at the end of the alley according to the instructions of the thorns.
Hurry!
After waiting for a few seconds, the blood vines that were climbing onto the dark walls retreated automatically, and gradually appeared a very inconspicuous small secret door. Just as the embers were about to step in, they heard a vigilant voice.
"Who are you?"
Hearing this, Yu Chen looked at the tall figure walking out of the secret door, raised his eyebrows and said in surprise-
"gardener?"
In the Dark Curtain Forest and the Forbidden Zone of Life, Yuchen once had fierce battles with the gardener's incarnation twice. Naturally, he could not forget such a game character with a special identity. This person was originally the only humanoid entity derivative in the abnormal project "Manor". According to the self-introduction of the evil gardener, he was the real owner of the manor. He was only forced to work for them by the despicable enslavement of the mechanical farmer and the biochemical shepherd boy.
Because he accidentally entered the forbidden zone of life and was affected by the parasitic blood vine, the gardener had the determination to resist the farmer and the shepherd boy. His bumpy encounters were just as good as the little Bob. His kind nature from the heart and the evil emotions inspired by the blood vine created an irreconcilable contradiction, which eventually led to the gardener's incarnation and the evil incarnation, and he had to flee into the depths of the wasteland in fear.
Although Embers expected that the gardener would be able to successfully meet with Bob sooner or later, it really surprised him to see the gardener directly in the ruins of the empire.
After all, no matter what, little Bob also has a grudge against the gardener to kill his father, although the latter is affected by the blood vine and it is difficult to control his own actions.
"Do you actually know me?" The gardener's vigilant expression became deeper and dangerous aura emerged from his burly body. His body had never seen embers before, so he automatically regarded embers as enemies.
"Don't worry, I'm here to deliver things." Yuchen took out the medicine box without changing his face, "It was Jingtou who entrusts me to send him healing medicine to the little Bob. Where is the little Bob? I want to see him. Of course, if you are worried, you can also ask him first. My name is Yuchen, and he should not have forgotten this name."
"You're the ember?"
The gardener's eyes were surprised. Obviously, he had heard of Embers before, and his vigilant expression was immediately diluted by joy: "Little Bob guessed before that you might follow the foundation to invade the wasteland world, but he didn't expect you to actually come!"
"He is quite smart." Yu Chen shrugged, "Then, Lord Gardener, can you believe me now?"
"Come with me."
The gardener put down his guard and led the embers into the depths of the rugged and twisted secret passages. During this period, he even stepped through a ghost fire secret door before finally entering the little Bob's hiding place, somewhere a medium-sized copy called [Dark Cave].
[Tip: The access condition for the medium-sized open dungeon "Dark Cave" is twenty-nine points of life level. If you do not meet the requirements and break in, you will suffer health damage!]
[Tip: Since you are exempt from permissions, you can enter and exit the medium-sized open dungeon "Dark Cave" without restrictions.]
"You are indeed here."
A hoarse voice suddenly appeared in the dim cave. Embers looked in the sound, frowning immediately, and tried to ask in disbelief: "Little Bob? Why did you... become like this?"
It was not Yu Chen who was making a fuss. It was really that the change of Little Bob was so great that it was far beyond Yu Chen's expectations. He thought that Little Bob would be tortured at most at most, but what he saw with his own eyes proved that things were far less simple than he thought.
In the forbidden zone of life, Bob was still a handsome young man with sword-browed eyebrows and star-like eyes. He had a red hair on fire and looked eye-catching. Especially after he received the ability of the crown of Thorns and became a distorted reality, his entire temperament was sublimated, as if it indicates that he was destined to reach the peak of his life.
However, the little Bob now has a hair that is covered in thin skin and has withered skin.
Living zombies!
No matter how Yuchen observed it, he could not find the energetic shadow from the other party's lifeless body...
"This matter is a long story, so you'd better give me the medicine first."
Little Bob seemed to have seen his own experience long ago and looked at Yuchen with a calm look. Then, Yuchen knew what the medicine he was transporting was while completing the emergency rescue of the first ring.
"I don't know how many viruses are spread on the wasteland, but I believe that all the named ones are integrated into my body." The little Bob pressed the sealed iron box with his palm, and directly corroded and melted it. Then the gardener took out several injections from it and injected them into the little Bob's body one by one.
“Are these vaccines and serums?”
Ember withdrew his gaze toward the little Bob and asked while looking at the dark hole.
Although as a medium-sized copy, you can only see some gentle blood vines. They are wrapped around the stone bodies taken from the Sun's stairs and surround the little Bob. Several of them extend out, penetrate the little Bob's corpse body, injecting it with eternal aura and vitality into it, and use it to strengthen the torch and curb the virus. In addition, the Black Knight who once followed the little Bob onto the nightmare pumpkin cart can also be seen here. They kneel on one knee with their swords and put down the barrier with their own soul fire, so as to reduce the pressure on the little Bob to prevent the virus from spreading.
In the corner of the dark cave, Yuchen also saw the nightmare pumpkin cart with a bell lost. The door was closed and quiet, and the ghost fire nightmare stood in place, as if waiting for the owner to wake up intently.
Soon, all the injections were injected into the little Bob's body, and the latter sighed happily and felt a little better.
"Qiaomu is a genius. I don't know how many times I have made similar sighs. He has actually successfully reversed the method of extinguishing the soul fire and continuing his life by the powerful people of the empire, and forcibly draining the torch from my body!"
Little Bob's words made Ember realize something. As far as he knew, the main priest of the Sun had developed a method to convert the soul flame into a candle fire, which was used to resist the time butcher knife. If the candle fire is not extinguished, the soul will not die. When the time comes, the candle fire will return to the mind to ignite the fake dead soul fire, and finally achieve the resurrection effect. Qiaomu may have drawn inspiration by reversing the method of self-extinguishing the soul fire, which caused Little Bob to fall into such a field.
"The torch is the greatest and purest force in the world, and cannot tolerate any defilement. If the living organisms carrying the flames cannot match it, they will even be rejected by the torch. With the help of the crown of thorns and the fire sacrifice, although a great flame similar to the torch was born, the connection between this flame and me was not strong." The little Bob shook his head gently, feeling a little regretful.
"After successfully reversed the step of extinguishing the soul fire, Qiao Mu also found a way to deal with me. He directly destroyed my body with the fusion virus, almost cut off the connection between the torch and me, and then used special means to export most of the torch, which led to the Wasteland Group launching their torch plan."
Little Bob told his experience lightly: "Although I was saved later, this virus is beyond cure. He can only rely on Thorns and they can collect serum and vaccines as much as possible to delay my death rate. If you hadn't come in time, maybe I wouldn't even have the chance to meet you again."
"I see……"
Hearing this, Yu Chen sighed in regret, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the misfortune of Bob's life. He couldn't help but blame the other party for being so careless, and clearly escaped with the help of a nightmare pumpkin cart. Why was Qiao Mu caught back?
Unexpectedly, little Bob immediately gave another answer that stunned Ember.
"Do you still remember the nest of moving corpses?"
"Yeah." Yu Chen nodded slightly, and his thoughts returned to the time he had just entered the life penalty area. He and Qiu Yinong fought in the corpse nest and met with little Bob for the first time there. The three of them used the abnormal characteristics of the regular teleportation of the corpse nest to reach the central ring of the restricted area, which is the blood vine abyss left by the fairy tale world. At this moment, when the little Bob intentionally mentioned the corpse nest, Yu Chen couldn't help but feel a little moved, and suddenly remembered the uniqueness of this corpse nest.
"Then you won't forget why that movable corpse nest teleports regularly, right?"
"You mean..." Yu Chen suddenly thought of the white-haired witch who was integrated with the mobile corpse nest and couldn't help but grow up.
"Yes, the meaning of the existence of that corpse nest is to transport a prisoner to a fairy tale nightmare over and over again, but the collapse of the life-forbidden zone does not mean that the prisoner's sentence will end. Therefore, no matter where the nightmare pumpkin cart escapes, the corpse nest will chase it. It was Qiaomu who keenly discovered this and followed the clues to find us."
Little Bob laughed bitterly: "Ms. Gray never expected that her punishment for that [fairy] would eventually lay the foreshadowing of disaster..."
