Chapter 915 Hunting
Chapter 915 Hunting
In the twilight, neon lights illuminate the entire city, and the sounds of desire mix together, covering up all sins.
The truck with ranch markings crossed the street and entered the bustling urban center, stopping in front of a building.
Aizen opened the car door, got out, and very skillfully put a few soul coins into the hands of the building guards. "Please do me a favor. I will take the newcomer to familiarize himself with the process."
The guard glanced at Lu Li who was following behind Aizen, exchanged glances, and stepped aside. "Don't cause any trouble. Deliver the goods and leave quickly."
Aizen nodded and signaled Lu Li to open the truck compartment. Inside was a sea of white humans. Following Aizen's command, they got off the truck one by one, obediently like well-trained livestock, and crawled behind him.
The compartment of the truck was very clean, and these humans seemed to have washed before coming. They were crawling around in the spotless hall, creating a different scene.
Aizen brought Lu Li to the delivery elevator in a familiar manner. After the elevator door closed, he spoke in the group channel.
"Brother Lu, we have to move quickly, otherwise we will soon attract the attention of other monsters."
Aizen said that yesterday, after he and Lu Li discussed it, they decided to start hunting monsters in Sex and the City.
You can become stronger by devouring monsters. This is the simplest and most effective way to enhance yourself in this world, but it just tastes a bit unpalatable.
Aizen was very resistant to Lu Li's plan at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no better way to improve for the time being, so he could only follow the tactical proposals made by Lu Li when he was in the tribe.
According to Aizen's information, the top floor of this building belongs to a monster called marrow-sucking demon. They have physical bodies and a certain degree of intelligence, and they like to suck fresh human bone marrow the most.
The pyramid hierarchy in this city is very clear. Monsters stand at the top of the ruling pyramid. There are also differences in power among the various monsters. Only humans are the lowest existence.
Even the elites of Yuchuan Company, who stood at the top of the human pyramid, could not defy the will of the monster.
It’s just that the monsters will use humans to manage humans, and generally will not eat the elites of Yuchuan Company. That will make their pastures stable and allow them to enjoy fresh food continuously.
Moreover, for some reason, the humans of Yuchuan Company are not delicious. They prefer to taste the original meat from the ranch. If they are strange creatures that like to devour souls, they will taste the finest soul coins.
The elevator quickly reached the top floor. After the elevator door opened, Aizen drove away those white humans like a shepherd driving a flock of sheep.
At this level, there will be no human guards, because human guards are also afraid of monsters, and they don't want to be eaten by monsters that suddenly appear while on duty.
As for whether they know what is on the roof, the answer is yes. These guards are often employed by the security agency under Yuchuan Company. Their responsibility is to prevent the general public from directly contacting the weirdness, which will make society more unstable.
They also signed a confidentiality agreement and are not allowed to explain to people outside the system what the creatures in the building are. Once the information is leaked, their souls will be drained by the people of Yuchuan Company.
As long as these human guards do not cross the line, the monsters will not go out of their way to cause trouble for them. After all, fresh and delicious food is delivered to their doorsteps every day, so why should they give up stable meals just for a full meal?
A dozen white-haired humans crawled through the corridor, and Lu Li followed behind Aizen, like a newcomer in this line of work, familiarizing himself with the routes and procedures. In fact, he had already focused his attention and was ready to take out the prisoner demon for a fight at any time.
At the end of the corridor, the automatic door of the hall opened, revealing a hall that was originally decorated in a luxurious and elegant style. However, the carpet was now soaked with thick blood, and the various collapsed dining tables, broken stools, and the flickering chandeliers on the dome made this place look like a slaughterhouse.
Obviously, when humans first built this building, they hoped to curry favor with the real rulers of this city, but they mistakenly attributed what they thought was beauty to the monster. The creatures living here are not interested in the beautiful decoration at all.
They are only interested in human flesh and blood, just like now when they see the dozen or so two-legged sheep driven by Aizen, their eyes are already shining with excitement.
This look is like a hungry wolf in the wilderness seeing a lost lamb. The bloodthirsty hunger makes their already limited remaining rationality even less.
If they hadn't recognized Aizen as the delivery man, they would probably have eaten Aizen as well.
"Oops, Sosuke, there's a mistake in the number."
Lu Li looked at the nine marrow-sucking demons in front of him, and a prisoner demon appeared in his hand.
The marrow-sucking demon is black and blue all over, with a thin and slender body, generally over three meters tall, and has a mosquito-like long mouthparts. Their eyes have strange powers. As long as they stare at humans, they will mentally anesthetize them. Even if their bone marrow is sucked out, they will not feel any pain at all.
Not only that, when anesthetized humans are taking drugs, they will also feel a vague sense of pleasure and will eventually die completely with a happy expression.
They are obviously more powerful monsters than psychos, otherwise they would not have a place in Sex and the City. Moreover, among the monsters, they are rare gregarious monsters with a certain sense of ethnicity.
The marrow-sucking demons in front of Lu Li and Aizen at this time generally have comprehensive attributes above 226 points. Compared with humans, they have absolute dominance.
"Don't say you can't do it."
A mirror flower and a water moon also appeared in Aizen's hand. When he came to deliver goods in the past, there were only four marrow-sucking demons here, so this place was regarded as their first stop.
As a result, the number of these marrow-sucking demons increased for some reason. It was unclear whether they were reproducing in some way or whether there were foreign marrow-sucking demons that moved into this place.
"Iguxixi..."
The tallest marrow-sucking demon among them uttered an unclear whisper and looked at Aizen, but did not make an attacking stance.
Obviously, these marrow-sucking demons have a certain degree of intelligence and discipline, but their brains are still not particularly smart, or they simply do not believe that any human can threaten their lives.
Just like people don't think that white rabbits, as domestic animals, will eat them to death, in their eyes, Lu Li and Aizen are just walking food, nothing more than the result of being eaten early or late.
One of the marrow-sucking demons couldn't bear it any longer, and pounced directly on a soulless human created on the production line. It inserted its mouthparts into the man's brain. In just a moment, the man's head shrank, and the slender mouthparts could be seen penetrating into the man's spine.
Then, as the marrow-sucking demon exerted its strength, the suction force drained all of the man's bone marrow, and his flesh and skin began to shrink inward, just like a sucker being sucked clean.
The other marrow-sucking demons also lost their self-control, ignoring the murderous aura and hostility emanating from Aizen and Lu Li, and began to grab the humans on the ground and began to feast on them. At this moment, the originally bloody hall became gorgeous again, and thousands of mirrors reflected the posture of the man in black drawing his sword.
The murderous intent was infinitely magnified at this moment. The dark knife light flashed and reflected on the mirror countless times, finally converging at one point at the end.
Lu Li leaped repeatedly between the ground and the dome. In an instant, like a lightning wave, he passed through the hall, and the heads of the marrow-sucking demons flew upwards.
When millions of mirrors shattered, Lu Li's blade had already penetrated into the throat of the tallest marrow-sucking demon, pinning it firmly to the wall made of special alloy.
His dark purple eyes met the blood-red eyes of the marrow-sucking demon, "It's our turn now."
As he finished speaking, he turned the prisoner in his hand and cut across it. The power of the Soul Eater and the evil spirit ended its last source of life.
Lu Li and Aizen quickly cleaned up the scene, arranged the nine marrow-sucking demons, and then summoned Ah Huo. The two of them and the bear began to devour quickly.
"I have to say, this is a really disgusting practice system."
This was the first time Aizen faced such a situation. Even with his endurance, he couldn't help but nausea. The food demon Jasmine in his body expressed serious protest.
"Stop complaining. Only by absorbing the collection of these special energies can we quickly become stronger."
As Lu Li spoke, he rolled a marrow-sucking demon into a meat ball and swallowed it in one gulp while pinching his nose. "Imagine it as a meatball."
"Brother Lu, do I need to remind you that they have ever eaten humans?"
Aizen looked at the monster in front of him but couldn't eat it. Although this strange technique focused on devouring energy, the most efficient way was to eat the monster. Moreover, they also had gourmet cells, so the conversion of energy would be more efficient.
"Stop talking nonsense. Although they have flesh and blood, they are essentially devouring the blood and energy of humans. The entities on the surface are just a collection of energy. These guys don't have a digestive system at all."
As Lu Li spoke, he devoured a marrow-sucking demon whole. "But I still have to say that compared to the bugs I've eaten before, this one tastes pretty good. Sosuke, don't just stand there. We need to evacuate as soon as possible."
There is no surveillance system on the upper floors of this building, because there is no reason for a slave to monitor his master, and Guaiguai doesn't like being stared at.
But their delivery time is limited, and once it exceeds the normal time, it will arouse suspicion.
In Sex and the City, you never need to doubt how loyal those weird human lackeys are. The guards below will definitely report to Yuchuan Company, and even if Lu Li kills those two guards it will be of no avail.
If there is no reply, the security company will still be suspicious. And if Lu Li goes on to kill all the people from the security company, it will make things worse, and powerful monsters will come out at that time. This is not in line with the tactics that Aizen had thought of.
At this time, seeing that Lu Li had such a good appetite, Aizen could only helplessly use his powerful spiritual pressure to compress several marrow-sucking demons. At the same time, he tried to indirectly absorb these marrow-sucking demons by decomposing them with spiritual particles.
His way of devouring the marrow-sucking demon was more elegant. It was obvious that he had added some personal innovations to the original method given by the Sword Keeper. However, although this method could also absorb energy, it would waste some of it, and the absorption efficiency was far lower than Lu Li's.
But Aizen couldn't bear to eat the corpse of the marrow-sucking demon like Lu Li did. That was more unacceptable than death.
After a while, Lu Li ate four, Ah Huo ate two, and Aizen ate three, and they finished eating all the marrow-sucking demons.
The two men tidied their clothes, Lu Li put Ah Huo away, took the elevator downstairs calmly, and nodded in a friendly manner to the two guards when he walked out the door.
They couldn't be sure whether the monsters would contact each other regularly, but if the monsters didn't visit each other, Lu Li and Aizen could continue to act covertly for a long time.
…………
When Lu Li and Aizen's weird hunting operation in Sex and the City was in full swing, in the Haggis mining area south of Sex and the City.
A woman dressed neatly in an office lady's attire is reporting to her superior on the mine's production capacity this month and her latest product design.
After finishing the report and returning to her residence, the woman took off her coat that was in the way and punched the table. "Gan, what kind of hell world have I been sent to? When will this crazy life end?"
This woman was none other than Chu Chu, who had been working in the mine under Yuchuan Company for a month. With her outstanding performance and smart mind, she even got a dual management position.
Now she is not only responsible for managing the mining area and guiding employees to debug mining robots to increase mineral production capacity, but also because she designed the latest weapons and equipment, she was promoted to a nearby weapons production factory as a design instructor.
Her job is quite high paying. In Sex and the City, she can get a salary of 10000 soul coins every month. But this does not make Chu Chu happy, because there is no human presence at all in this hellish place.
And she knew that if she made mistakes in her work, or was judged to have lost its value by her superiors, she would be no different from those people on the street who were struggling to make a living.
The damn thing is that she didn't want to make any new weapons and equipment for Yuchuan Company, nor did she want to mine for them, but the competition within the company was also fierce, and many people were eyeing her position. If she didn't climb up, she would be squeezed out.
"Did that bastard enter this world?"
Chu Chu gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't come soon, I'm going to go crazy."
She saw with her own eyes how the company treated the people in Sex and the City. This place was simply a gathering place for lunatics. Even those well-dressed upper-class people were just weird lackeys.
If she did not have the basic protection provided by the space, she would not be able to survive even for a second in this world and would be crushed by the excessive space density. In this case, she was actually unable to engage in physical confrontation with any creature. Without equipment, even a rabbit could kill her.
Therefore, Chuchu had to find a way to secretly build something to protect herself, such as the mecha that was being assembled in the warehouse behind her room.
