  Chapter 11 The Spell Gambler

   Neither of them spoke, and there was only the rustling sound of flipping files in the room.

  The safe is filled with some experimental reports, the text volume is very large, but Ji Xun reads it quickly.

  The girl with the mechanical arm is obviously more aware of the meaning of those file levels than Ji Xun. Seeing the key point, she secretly exclaimed: “This 407 Abnormal Creature Shelter is researching. It turns out to be a ‘T-level disaster source’!”

  Ji Xun listened to the imperceptible whisper while reading ten lines at a glance.

   This is what he was looking for.

   Some key clues for customs clearance.

  In the file, he saw not only the [Fallen Witch] in room 2012, but also the [Corrupted Giant] in 1099, the [Cursed Gambler] in 3045, and some others.

   The most difficult disasters that have been explored so far have been recorded.

   But obviously, Ji Xun guessed a little wrong before.

  This bunker is not researching the monsters that are imprisoned.

  These monsters are experimental products of research.

  The real research object is the “catastrophe source”.

  Although I didn’t understand what the source of the catastrophe was.

   But judging from the description, it should be a dangerous item with super pollution.

   And from the corner of his eye, he was always paying attention to the look of the girl with the mechanical arm flipping through the files. It is not difficult to deduce that this may be something extraordinary.

  The two did not communicate, and Ji Xun quickly flipped through the files.

   At this time, he opened another file bag and found an accident report.

  「Archived File: S719 Incident Report」

  「Accident Rating: Class D」

“Details: On July 19th, it was found that the monitoring data of the central experiment was abnormal, and there was a short period of abnormal commotion in each cabin of the laboratory; after careful investigation, no suspicious conditions were found. It was judged to be a low-level risk. The solution is to strengthen inspections. “

  「Investigator: Dr. P. Luo」

“File correction: On August 2, a mutant riot occurred in the experimental bunker. At this moment, I realized that I might have made a big mistake. This is an S-level catastrophe accident! In fact, the source of the catastrophe happened a long time ago Leaking pollution, we have been polluted unknowingly; the perception of me and even everyone in the laboratory has been eroded by some mysterious force, which made us misjudge the level of risk. It is too late to stop it, everything is too late, and the horror has already come. “

  Seeing this, the puzzle-like clues in Ji Xun’s mind seemed to be connected.

  Although there are still a few pieces missing, he has roughly restored the cause of the [407 Abnormal Creature Shelter]: Someone once studied a dangerous “catastrophe” in this bunker, and then created these monsters. But a contamination leak occurred during the research and the entire lab was infected. The monster rioted and killed everyone in the laboratory.

   Not too complicated a plot.

  Ji Xun looked to see that there were not many remaining files. While continuing to browse, he casually reminded the girl with the mechanical arm: “Be careful, monsters should appear.”

  When the girl with the mechanical arm heard it, she thought he had discovered something, and her expression froze immediately.

  But after sensing for a while, no monster was found.

  Although she was confident in her perception, she confirmed after thinking about it: “What did you find?”

  Ji Xun found something, chuckled and said: “It’s just a normal plot, we got the key clues, and it’s time to increase the intensity.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm was at a loss when she heard the slang words: “???”

   “I guessed too.”

   Ji Xun shrugged with a smile, only to realize that the other party’s thinking didn’t keep up with what he said.

He pointed to the information and said: “At present, these information are necessary ‘clues’ to pass the level. So if there are monsters, they will definitely appear after we get the information. Otherwise, the monsters will kill us as soon as we come in. Those Exquisite level settings are meaningless.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm is still a little unbelievable.

  Guess?

  What kind of logic is this?

   It was as if they somehow found the files of these key clues. She still hadn’t figured out why this guy was somehow sure that the monster would appear soon.

  Ji Xun looked at the empty laboratory, did not explain much, and said meaningfully: “I will know in a while.”

  In this different-dimensional space, he felt something unusual.

   Just confirmed some conjectures.

   However, the monster did not wait, but the two waited for some outsiders first.

   While they were still flipping through the archives in the archives room, they heard the sound of gunfire.

  It seems that the people on the first floor rushed up, planning to forcibly go to the third floor.

  The firepower is fierce, but obviously the monster is more fierce.

  The sound of gunfire has been suppressed near the elevator on the second floor.

   “Damn it! The monsters on the second floor are all mentally polluted. It’s hard for us to rush up to the third floor. Captain, should we retreat?”

   “Going back is a dead end, find a way to find an exit!”

   “Hey, there is a hole in the wall of the 2013 room!”

   “Go into the room and hide!”

  “.”

   I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but they opened the doors one by one. The guys outside the door rushed into room 2013, and then found the pothole.

   Listening to the movement, there are many people, and those guys have also entered the research room.

  Through the glass, Ji Xun saw that this was a group of heavily armed elite squad rushing in, there were about a dozen people.

  The girl with the mechanical arm recognized the badges on these people, and reminded: “Be careful, they are mercenaries of the ‘Blackwater Group’. Guys who lick blood.”

   Concise and concise, Ji Xun also immediately knew that these people were probably not good-natured.

  He rolled his eyes and asked, “Can you fight?”

  “.”

  The mechanical girl didn’t speak, just glanced at it.

  The meaning in that look is obvious: I will protect myself, the key is you, the oil bottle.

  Ji Xun understood immediately, and smiled and didn’t care.

  Compared to the strength of the upcoming levels, he felt that the threat of these mercenaries was nothing.

   On the contrary, with more people, there are more opportunities for trial and error.

   After all, they were professional mercenaries, and the group of armed men easily spotted the whereabouts of the two from the traces on the ground.

   “Captain, there is someone here!”

   After Ji Xun and the other two were discovered, both sides seemed very cautious.

   Hitting is not allowed.

   There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and the probability of accidentally injuring a rookie is very high.

  Ji Xun signaled his teammates not to be impulsive, spread his hands, and said, “Everyone, we have no intention of becoming enemies with you.”

  Watching him walk out of the room with his hands raised like this, the bald man in the lead looked at him, let go of his guard, and asked, “Did you kill the monster outside?”

  In this situation, everyone knows that the biggest threat is monsters, and it is not a rational choice to rush to conflict.

“yes.”

  Ji Xunxun replied: “We were also lucky. We smashed the wall while fighting the monster and found this place.”

  As soon as he heard this opening, he guessed that these mercenaries didn’t recognize what the pool of flesh and blood outside was.

   Not everyone knows the A-level disaster [Fallen Witch].

  At least in this dungeon, those who have seen its monster form before are all dead.

   Otherwise, if they recognize them, these mercenaries will definitely speak more politely than they do now.

  Ji Xun said, not forgetting to inquire about the situation: “Everyone, what happened, why did this space suddenly become more difficult?”

  The bald man obviously knew something, but didn’t answer.

  He took a look at the two of them, then asked again: “Did you find anything?”

   Probably think that Ji Xun is just two casual people here, and the behavior of this guy reveals their arrogance and domineering in numbers.

   With more than a dozen guns pointed at his head, Ji Xun responded with a look of interest, “Oh. We just found a safe, but we can’t open it.”

   After all, he is a professional actor, and at this moment, he perfectly interprets the fluke of a chicken-stealing adventurer who survived by luck to the present.

   “Safe?”

  Although the bald man was suspicious, he didn’t see any flaws.

   But obviously, the keyword “safe” immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

  Intuition told them: This is the key clue!

  Ji Xun and the two were pointed at the muzzle of the dark gun, and they backed out very interestingly.

   Two mercenaries walked in to confirm and shouted: “Captain, there is indeed a safe.”

  The bald captain immediately ordered: “Lao Liu, go find a way to open it.”

  In the team, a mercenary with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked in: “Yes.”

  Mature mercenary regiments must have various professionals, such as the thief sequence, who are good at opening treasure chests and breaking traps.

  Ji Xun looked at the lockpicking tool that the man took out, and knew that this man was very professional.

  But he wasn’t worried that the other party would open the safe and find it was empty.

  Because time does not allow.

  Before, the two had small goals and little movement.

  There is such a big commotion now, if there are monsters, it should come at this time.

  He pulled the girl with the mechanical arm beside him, and found a place to stand against the wall, so that at least there would be no monsters on his back.

as expected.

  Suddenly, everyone obviously felt an inexplicable chill.

  The girl with the mechanical arm was the first to discover something, and reminded in a solemn tone: “Be careful, something has come in.”

  Her eyes scanned everywhere fiercely.

  Ji Xun is quite relaxed.

   There is a risk if you have to fight. If you can’t fight at all, you don’t have to consider the issue of risk.

  His strength is even unnecessary to worry about.

   Just leave the fighting to your teammates.

  In his mind, he is sorting out and analyzing the complex information in the materials he found just now, classifying them one by one, and then picking out the ones that may be useful, and then contacting the current situation to formulate a preliminary plan.

  Thoughts were running fast.

   Not far away, among the Blackwater mercenaries, there were obviously transcendents of the perception system, and after a while, they also noticed something, and exclaimed: “Captain, there is a disaster approaching!”

  As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen mercenaries immediately entered the fighting state, forming a defensive formation of iron barrels that looked very professional.

  The muzzles of the guns pointed to the passage far away from the laboratory.

  For a moment, needles could be heard in the huge space, and the sound of breathing became heavy.

  Now the difficulty of this different-dimensional space has been raised to “unknown”, and no one knows what monsters will appear.

  The atmosphere is very tense.

   Suddenly!

  Suddenly a dark shadow flashed past the corner of the passageway far from the laboratory, and several humanoid spiders quickly crawled out from the ceiling.

  It was as if cold water dripped from the oil pan. At this moment, the huge experiment boiled up.

   “da, da, da, da”

   “Boom, boom, boom, boom”

  All kinds of guns poured down like a torrential rain, and the sound was as loud as if people were stuffed in a drum and pounded.

  The fire from the muzzle of the gun was like a light elf in the dark, flickering and beating, illuminating the frightened and nervous faces.

   It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of these Blackwater mercenaries is directly reflected in their equipment.

  All kinds of heavy firearms, as well as steam black technology have exploded with super lethality, such as steam warhammer, high-pressure spray gun, mechanical flying fork.

  The single-soldier boilers on these strong men are larger in size and more powerful.

   More than a dozen people cooperated tacitly, covering alternately with firepower, without giving the monster any chance at all.

  As soon as those humanoid spiders showed up, they were smashed into a sieve.

   Compared with any monsters, Ji Xun was more curious about those magic cards.

  During the battle, he saw a new kind of magic card.

  He watched as the bald head flew out a few red cards, which suddenly exploded like a grenade near the monster.

   Cards can fly many cards at a time, and as long as the card flying skills are good enough, they can be blasted accurately.

   This is much easier to use than a grenade.

  But in a blink of an eye, the monster at the end of the field of vision was lying on the ground and turned into a pool of rotten flesh.

   However, the crisis is far from over.

  The girl with the mechanical arm sensed something, and her expression became more and more dignified.

   And Ji Xun also feels that monsters of this level are far from reaching the expected strength.

as expected!

   Everyone just killed a wave of mobs, and they haven’t had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

   At this moment, a monster with a height of more than two meters slowly came out from another passageway.

   This is a humanoid dog-shaped monster with a hideous face and a broken hand.

  Ji Xun looked over and narrowed his eyes slightly.

   With such a high degree of recognition, it is obviously a B-class disaster at 3045 on the third floor.

  But now it is not a B-rank in intelligence.

  【Spell Gambler】
