my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 38 Black Dog!You tricked me again!
Wang Shui did not participate in the vigil, or in other words, none of the three drivers needed to stay vigil.

After escaping from being surrounded by a large number of mutants, Tu Ge very calmly asked Wang Shui to learn about science. Encountering such a large number of mutants in the wild was actually a blessing in misfortune.

Low-level mutants are generally brainless and will basically not use heavy firepower. As long as they are properly protected and their hands and feet are fast enough, they can easily escape.

The most dangerous thing about this thing is that it spreads secretly in the city. The high-level extraordinary people affected by the radiation of [Ability God] are a big trouble.

The three cars turned on the silent standby mode and were covered by darkness and drizzle. The night without the starlight was so quiet that it made people feel nervous.

"Your heartbeat is even more flustered than before. What's wrong? Are you watching anything good on the Dream Network?" Brother Tu, who was smoking and keeping vigil in the passenger seat, suddenly joked to Shui Wang.

"No...it's just that the longer I stay in this environment, the more flustered I become." Wang Shui, who put down his seat and lay flat, didn't find it embarrassing.

"Then you have to adapt well. The life department is not completely immune to the battlefield. If Tiefeng City is captured, the system will definitely not transfer everyone away, and may even close ordinary teleportation methods. Only by holding on tightly can you create higher strategic value, we are all chips in the war. So, get used to it more, and with more experience, you will not be too embarrassed when facing death."

Brother Tu's tone was very dull, and Wang Shui's reaction was also very dull.

"Adapting... Speaking of which, I have been here for a long time. I have also experienced a less dangerous world. I consciously want to become stronger, but I only get busy when things happen... Today is the first time I have watched When it comes to monsters like this, let alone monsters, I work as a repairman in the city. I have never seen the Awakened fight. The most I can do in the tavern is boxing... Sometimes I want to find acquaintances to show me the way to become stronger. They always Advise me to exercise my attributes first."

"Haha, everyone is a system-trained wild person. They all follow their talents and professions to explore on their own. Many people only start to pay attention to combat skills when they get stuck at level 29. If you ask us to teach you, you might as well sign up for [combat] A training course from a master, or a spell course from an academy or something like that.”

"The tuition fee starts at [-] yuan..." Wang Shui closed his eyes and sighed. In fact, not only was it money, he also didn't have enough time. In half a year, he could only do physical training and study.

"So, in the early stage, we still need to grow rapidly with the professional system, and then make detailed plans after gaining a certain amount of strength and resources... I don't understand the life department, but it is always right to become stronger first. All extraordinary professions have their own advantages. Strength.”

Alas, Wang Shui could only sigh helplessly.

"Why, don't you have a career yet? Have you not decided on the direction or chosen a specific career? Most of the career-changing items are not very expensive, as long as you don't focus on those rare professions... Hey, wait a minute, you are Brother Hei's employee, you Couldn't he be the "knower" who couldn't change jobs? ! "

Wang Shui sat up suddenly: "How do you know!"

"Oh? It's really you, hahaha. Don't worry about it. Brother Hei made fun of you in Huajie some time ago, but he only said that he was his employee. It's a trivial matter. Everyone just laughed." Brother Tu's The laughter was deep.

"Speaking of your story, you attracted another Master, but he had already obtained a profession during the awakening mission, so he was not as miserable as you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, thanks to you, the awakeners in Tiefeng City have a better understanding. This talent can only be said to have a promising future.”

But without strength, how can we have a future?

Wang Shui's silence made Brother Tu not know what to say for a moment. He liked this little brother's conversational character, but he couldn't help with things like becoming stronger. If there was a way to make Wang Shui stronger, he could Brother Tu... won't give it away for free, at most he won't raise the price.

"Looking at the current war situation, the probability of Tiefeng City being captured is not high. You can just focus on your own life. What if things turn around one day? Just like me, I was just an ordinary gunman at the beginning. , it was not until the second level that he changed his profession and became a [Green Rose Druid]. Life at the lower levels is really difficult, and going to some very backward worlds is also full of dangers."

"Is it okay to reveal your profession like this?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't have any impact on me anyway, but don't just ask people when you meet them. Most professions still have certain shortcomings, which they are more taboo about."

The topic is relatively heavy, but Wang Shui is only a little disappointed on the surface. Recently, he has mastered skills very smoothly. The expansion of his knowledge system has given him some confidence. Even if it is slower, as long as he is given enough time, he can achieve a good level of transcendence. strength!

In order to prepare themselves for tomorrow, the two didn't chat for a long time. Under the protection of Tu Ge's plant sentinels spread over a kilometer in radius, the entire escort team had a good rest.

The rain stopped the next day, but the sky was still covered with dark clouds. The light of the stars made the environment a little brighter, and the team set off soon.

The rest of the journey didn't have many twists and turns. We just met a group of robber heroes who got up early. When everyone in the small hunting group was too lazy to move, the white cat on the roof of the car rushed into the crowd and killed them in only about 1 minute. A dozen people...right?For now they are all in human form.

Wang Shui recognized Bai Mao's weapon. It was an ancient sword, a very ancient double-edged sword. Its length and shape were between a two-handed sword and a one-handed sword. It had a straight blade and a wide head with its center of gravity placed forward, and its cutting effect was not weak. As for the knife, it is also good for piercing.

The description in the information said that this kind of sword is not as flexible as the standard sword, but the long sword in Bai Mao's hand has both power and flexibility. Maybe she is more powerful. Her swordsmanship is very rhythmic, which Wang Shui has never seen before.

The convoy did not slow down when dealing with this group of heroes, and drove directly past. The white cat, who was not equipped with mobile armor, quickly followed, and her extremely distinctive voice came from the voice.

"A bunch of poor ghosts."

Yes, if you are not poor, how can you get up early to rob the Tao? You don't even have any heavy weapons.

As we chatted all the way, traces of man-made buildings gradually appeared at the end of the plain. It was a not very tall fortress. There were many steel structures covered on the masonry walls. It looked like it should be some kind of protective array.

Gradually approaching the fortress, there is no bare wasteland outside the city. A large number of tents and simple wooden houses have formed a large settlement. People come and go here, many of whom are indigenous.

That's right, the system is only about occupying cities and wiping out regular troops. It doesn't even care about bandits, so why should it care about such trading settlements?Wang Shui even saw a cart pulled by a creature that resembled a combination of an elephant and an ox. It was piled with various commodities and small-caliber cannons.

"You can just go into the city alone. Once you enter the fortress, our mission is completed. If you want a ride back, please contact me before the day after tomorrow. We will replenish some things here for the time being."

Wang Shui nodded, Brother Tu patted him on the shoulder and left.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Wang Shui drove directly into the fortress. What surprised him was that the difficulties mentioned by Brother Hei did not appear. He successfully entered the city after checking the level.

Under the guidance of the semi-autonomous driving, Wang Shui came to the Governor's Castle, which was also the location of the [Penumbra of Destruction] hunting group. A group of logistics personnel wearing vague silhouette-style coats met him. At the same time, Wang Shui also met a big boss.

He slowly walked towards Wang Shui, exuding an intimidating aura. I don't know whether it was the influence of majesty or murderous aura. Wang Shui only felt that his skin was tight, and he unconsciously wanted to retreat.

This big shot is over two meters tall, with a square face, a burly build, and a steady gaze. His neat, casual clothes are held up by his muscles.In Wang Shui's personal vision, there is a red number on his head - "3".

[Danger Scale: 3]? !

The number describing the danger level of the world area was placed on the head of the boss, which meant that he had killed awakened people of the same camp and received systematic punishment, but he paid the price.

"Have things been delivered?"

The boss not only asked the question to Wang Shui, but also to all the logistics personnel present.

The truck was unfolded, and the two valuable cargo boxes at the back were also opened, revealing the cannonballs and metal ingots inside.Quick logistics check and quick reply to the boss:
"Lord Mond, we have almost everything on the general order. There should be two more trucks of food behind us. The task has not been submitted yet. We need..."

Before he finished talking about logistics, the boss turned his attention to Wang Shui, and Wang Shui quickly replied:
"The mission requires Lady Sylvia to confirm the goods..."

"follow me."

Before Wang Shui finished speaking, the boss interrupted him, then turned and walked towards the interior of the castle.

He was a little flustered, but Wang Shui still followed him. Such a large and well-known hunting group should not do anything to a little-known person like him.

The castle is not big, or the entire Rusty Sword Fortress is not very big. It is just a small military facility, not even on the regular supply line.

The aboriginal-style brick and stone castle had no beauty. Wang Shui followed the boss all the way to the innermost part until the boss opened the huge iron door at the end of the corridor. It was dark inside, and the wind with a cold and strange smell made Wang Shui's scalp hair. Numb, his hair stood on end, and his body subconsciously retreated to escape.

Too late.

The suction force that swept through Wang Shui's body and the strong wind threw him towards the boss. Wang Shui instantly felt as if his left shoulder was hit hard by a pneumatic forging hammer. Severe pain came. Before he could shout, he was followed by a round of spinning. , until there was severe pain and impact in my back.Wang Shui was thrown into the iron gate like a sandbag and slammed against the wall, and then fell from a height of five to six meters.

[System warning!You are being attacked by awakened people from the same camp, are you...]

The sound of the system stopped abruptly as the iron door closed. Shui Wang was still in a dazed state, but he did not suffer a second fall injury. He seemed to have landed on a softer object.

But, this thing is squirming... Wang Shui suddenly stood up in confusion, jumped down from something like a high platform, quickly took out a small piece of gel from his waist, squeezed it hard with his right hand, and then threw it towards to the wall where he slipped.

With a bang, the gel stuck to the wall, and then emitted a light that was not dazzling. This little thing was a small toy given to him by Brother Tu. It is one of the favorite consumable props in the combat department, [Viscous Glowing Gel] .

The dark and smelly dungeon was suddenly filled with long-lost light, but regaining sight did not make Wang Shui feel at ease, but made him even more horrified.

He saw clearly the squirming cushion that was cushioning him. It was a pile of twenty or thirty people. None of them were dead, but they were no different from dead. The lower they went, the more skinny and bones they became, and the ones on top could only barely squirm. .

"Hey, new guy, do you have anything to eat? If you die early, give me something to eat."

The voice on the left side of Wang Shui's attention was attracted, and then he noticed that there were still a few people slumped in the empty dungeon, and the one who spoke to him was a guy sitting slumped against the wall.

"Don't look, I still have the strength to speak. I can't contact the system here, and I can't even open the storage space. My physical strength will be lost inexplicably and quickly, but it won't kill you. I can crawl out of the crowd. Your injuries are relatively minor, and within two days you will have no strength and will be on the verge of death. Hey! I have told you so much, do you have anything to eat with you?"

Wang Shui shook his head and retreated. This situation that was far beyond his experience made him feel a little at a loss. He kept retreating, and the empty environment made him feel insecure. It was not until his back touched the wall that he slowly slid to the ground.

The luminous gel slowly dimmed, and the brother opposite was too lazy to speak and closed his eyes. Wang Shui began to observe the current situation. He checked the biological brain that had lost the network. The system was normal, but it showed that it was not within the network coverage. Then he I touched everything on my body that was not in the storage space.

A small half box of luminous gel, with more than a dozen pills inside, a box of high-energy stomach-nourishing candies, three healing potions that can restore injuries, his mobile armor card, flying knife skill secret card and four silver dragon flying knives. A small stack of white paper for alchemy, an alchemy pen, and task cards.

Having just been thrown away casually, Wang Shui's health dropped to only 40%. His left shoulder seemed to have been fractured. Not only was there a slight pain, but it was also swollen.

Wang Shui quickly drank a bottle of small red medicine to restore his life and stabilize his injuries. His mind was running rapidly, thinking of ways to escape from this dungeon. He didn't want to die!

Mobile armor?No, although the iron gate above seems nothing special, if you rush out directly, you will undoubtedly have to face the people of the [Penumbra of Destruction] hunting group. Not to mention the big boss just now, even a few combatants who come here can't be defeated by Wang Shui.

alchemy!right!And alchemy!Soften the walls, or dig a tunnel out!Wang Shui perked up and pressed his right hand on the wall to feel out his energy.

Crack!

Amid the explosion of electricity, Aqua Regia was knocked back and slid three to four meters away. The numbness made him slow for a long time before he sat up again.

"This is the Governor's Prison, a place where important military prisoners are imprisoned. There is still a [Rebel Array] outside, so don't bother. Hey, do you know how far the manifest has been delivered?"

This time, the voice did not have the faint sense of frenzy that the old man had before, but a weak, cold female voice that was plain and majestic, as clear as the faint moonlight.

Aqua regia threw out a luminous gel again and saw clearly the source of the sound not far from him. It was a young-looking woman. She was sitting casually against the wall. She had slender limbs and delicate features. She was wearing the same clothes as before. Wearing a half-sleeved casual T-shirt like a guy, she raised her head slightly and locked her half-open silver-gray eyes on Aqua Regia.

【Penumbra of the Moon·Sylvia】

Wang Shui has seen her image, but... internal rebellion?Suddenly he seemed to have discovered something unimportant.

"Recognize me? Answer me, are the goods in stock?"

"Well, it seems we're just short of a little food."

"Oh, that's almost tonight then."

When the young Queen said this, Wang Shui's heart was lifted.

"They're waiting for supplies?!"

"Otherwise? They imprisoned me fifteen days ago. At that time, the empire's fifth-level extraordinary beings had already arrived outside the city. They were afraid that I would risk my life, so they used this dungeon and toxins to torture me. At the same time, they were waiting This batch has used up all the supplies accumulated by the hunting group. It is estimated that my good friends have left the city now, and they will stay away from the fortress. When the siege warning is activated, they can avoid being forcibly recruited by the system to join the battle, ha, Then we will be free."

Wang Shui was silent. He believed in the judgment of this fifth-level boss.

"Why? Obviously the mission information is normal, and there are not so many people found missing."

"Of course it was normal at the beginning. I was receiving supplies before, but now someone may have noticed something wrong... It's too late. My spare mobile armor has also been locked by them. Even if the item space can be opened, I don't have enough Equipment. And my current body probably can’t fight. Oh, when people are about to die, they talk more. I didn’t expect that it feels like this when facing death.”

The queen's faint self-mockery didn't make Wang Shui pay attention. No... it's very wrong. Judging from the time, Brother Hei should have noticed it.

Even if Brother Hei wants Shui Wang to use his life to explore the truth, there is no need to advance 10 dream points to get rid of it. There is no loss in forcing a mortal man a little, and Brother Hei also gave him an expensive array for free. .

With his mind racing, Wang Shui opened the task panel again:
[Task description: Transport the items that trigger the task to "Rusty Sword Fortress" and hand them over to the consignee "Penumbra of the Moon·Sylvia". 】

The item that triggers... the quest? !
Wang Shui was excited and quickly took out the crystal texture card that triggered the mission. Its name was very ordinary:
[Ordinary task cards]

Something was wrong, something was wrong, everything was wrong. Wang Shui quickly approached the former queen, and the other party raised her eyes.

"What, you want to take advantage of the heat?"

"Take this!" Wang Shui handed the card to her, but nothing happened.

No, no, what else?Why did Brother Hei hide this from me?Wang Shui was a little anxious and attracted the queen's attention. She looked at the card in her hand.

"This simple card...couldn't it be an unstable storage card? Do you know the conditions for opening this card?"

condition?The Queen's words caused Wang Shui's brainstorming, and the conditions...opened...unstable...destroyed...annihilated the stomach!

Wang Shui suddenly remembered the doctor's advice from the engraver - try not to eat randomly these days!
He also remembered that Brother Hei had to set the engraving time before departure, right!This should be!No, that’s definitely the case!
Aqua regia snatched the card from the Queen's hand and stuffed it into his mouth. His flexible throat was actually able to expand to swallow the card that was nearly six centimeters wide. Aqua regia finished swallowing it with an indistinct feeling of nausea. The array reduced the vomiting effect, and then , Wang Shui felt as if a melt grenade was stuffed into his stomach.

Depend on!How reckless!
The feeling of nausea and vomiting suddenly arose, so he vomited aqua regia and vomited out two small balls, one of which aqua regia recognized as an emetic.

Ignoring the strange mucus vomited by aqua regia, his slender fingers gently pinched another small ball, and the clear voice sounded again:
"It's interesting to actually store mobile armor in a space object in this way and avoid high-energy detection at the door."

Aqua Regia now felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, felt a sense of collapse all over his body, and was breaking out in a cold sweat, but he looked expectantly at the queen who had regained some energy.

"Oh, don't think about it. This is just a spare fifth-level mobile armor. And in my current state, I can never defeat the fifth-level armor outside."

A burst of despair enveloped Wang Shui. When he lowered his head, he heard the sound of the rising moonlight:

"By the way, do you want to see my last dance up close?"

　Big chapter, and the next world is about to begin. You should be able to guess which world it is, right?
