Chapter 37 This door is very tough
In a deserted city park, Chu Wuji handed Mai Xiaonuo a piece of flesh that glowed red like it was breathing.
In front of him was a giant pig-man lying on the ground with its chest hollowed out.
"That's the ninth one, just one more to go."
"Okay, okay." Mai Xiaonuo accepted the flesh and blood tissue, put it in a sample bag, and hung it on her waist with satisfaction.
She had never understood why someone would be willing to eat instant noodles for a month just to save money to hire thugs, but now she finally understood.
Simply put, the feeling of abandoning one's brain, comparable to a trip to the abyss, is just too exhilarating.
In the past, when doing tasks, a group of people would huddle together, and every step they took required following a formulaic process, starting with self-checks, investigating the surrounding dangers, and then painstakingly trying to avoid dangerous areas and change their planned routes.
Compared to now, it's like heaven and earth.
I'll order again next time!
However, Mai Xiaonuo also understood that the reason why they were able to "tour" the abyss so easily this time was largely due to the exceptional strength of the henchman named Skadi.
No matter what kind of beast he encountered, it was basically refined in an instant, and its cold life was turned into warm material hanging on his waist.
This thug has no flaws except for his tendency to gouge people out of their hearts when fighting. He is taciturn and strong. Mai Xiaonuo has not even seen him use the knife hanging on his waist yet.
"Let's look for the last beast on the way back; we should be able to find it."
"Mm." Chu Wuji nodded, indicating that the other party should lead the way.
Although the entrance to the Abyss is similar to that of a dungeon, it is not like a dungeon where Chu Wuji can simply leave with a single thought, no matter where he is.
To leave the abyss, one needs to find its exit. As a student of Yuncheng University, Mai Xiaonuo naturally knows the locations of some exits that have already been explored. Following these exits will solve the problem.
Before leaving, Chu Wuji glanced at the pig-man beast on the ground, whose chest he had hollowed out, and stomped on it, crushing its head like a watermelon.
Finishing off an opponent is a good habit, and Chu Wuji certainly didn't want to end up in a cliché situation where he forgot to finish them off and ended up getting caught out.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Wuji has roughly figured out some of the patterns of the beasts in this abyss.
Chu Wuji roughly divided the beasts in the abyss into two categories based on their "former" forms: one was mechanical, and the other was humanoid.
As the name suggests, the mechanical type is the "walking spider" that tried to drag Mai Xiaonuo into the building at the beginning. These kinds of creatures are usually mutated from technological products. The yellow fluorescent flesh that grows from their own bodies gives them some biological appearance. Along the way, Chu Wuji encountered the "walking spiders" that were mainly spiders.
The humanoids are similar to the pig-men in front of us. Judging from the remaining clothing tissue on their bodies, they should have been human before they mutated.
However, after the mutation, they were given certain animal characteristics and transformed into creatures similar to the ape-men that Chu Wuji had encountered before. However, unlike the ape-men who could communicate with Chu Wuji, these humanoid beasts had no rationality and only knew how to attack any living thing.
Somewhat strangely, in the long process of survival of the fittest, some beasts with ferocious features should be more likely to survive, but along the way, Chu Wuji encountered mostly beasts with the characteristics of domestic fowl. He had never seen any other beasts like tigers, and among the birds, he had only seen beasts with the characteristics of chickens.
They all seem to have one thing in common: their bestial characteristics are only found in the daily diet of humans.
Combining the description of this abyss at the dungeon gate, Chu Wuji became curious about how this civilization had been destroyed.
As Chu Wuji was pondering, he suddenly noticed that Mai Xiaonuo had stopped and was standing in front of a small drum.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was actually a small bungalow buried in vegetation, somewhat resembling the matchbox that Chu Wuji would build when playing Minecraft, about the size of a bedroom.
Through some sparsely vegetated areas, one can still vaguely see its metallic-looking, rust-free exterior walls.
"What's wrong?" Chu Wuji looked at Mai Xiaonuo, who was standing to the side with a shocked expression, with some curiosity.
Mai Xiaonuo didn't answer, but took a few steps forward, pulled out a machete, and quickly cleared a section of vegetation before confidently stating, "That's right, it's a facility for the continuation of civilization."
Before Chu Wuji could ask further, Mai Xiaonuo continued, "This is the result of our research on the remaining data of this abyssal civilization. It seems that they had long anticipated the decline of their civilization, so they buried some things that could revive their civilization or represent their civilization in advance."
"So, there's something good inside?"
"Um..." Mai Xiaonuo suddenly became uncertain: "It's hard to say."
"It's possible to discover a technology far beyond our civilization, or it's possible to discover a pile of nuclear waste."
"It's even possible to unearth some Breath Beasts. You should know that the higher the quality of the materials used to create a Breath Beast before it is mutated, the stronger it will be after the mutation. The strength of Breath Beasts formed from the materials in the Civilization Continuation Facility is unimaginable."
Chu Wuji nodded. It's just a blind box.
The grand prize is advanced technology, but it could also be something strange.
"What, you want to try opening one?" Chu Wuji asked Mai Xiaonuo.
If a powerful monster is unleashed, Chu Wuji can escape on his own, and given that he has already entered the ghost transformation stage, his survival ability is beyond doubt.
We cannot guarantee Mai Xiaonuo's safety, and this item is not included in the order details.
"Never mind, I plan to record it and upload it to the academy. I can get credits for it then." Mai Xiaonuo suddenly added, "Since we found it together, I can give you half. I'll convert the credits into cash."
"It's probably around 500,000."
Half of them are worth 500,000?
Oh no, the gambling addict mentality is kicking in.
Chu Wuji was now really curious to see what was inside.
Seemingly noticing Chu Wuji's hesitation, Mai Xiaonuo smiled and waved her hand: "Don't even think about it. The entire civilization continuation facility is made of extremely high-grade alloy. It can't be opened without a key. It's very hard."
"If we're going to find the key, it might take us half a month to get out of the abyss. I only brought enough rations for today."
"If you don't believe me, go and kick it."
"Really?" Chu Wuji's curiosity was piqued, and he immediately went forward and found the door.
Because of Mai Xiaonuo's reminder, Chu Wuji even used a little bit of his true energy this time. At the same time, in order to prevent the Skadi armor from being damaged, he also deactivated the transformation of his legs in Mai Xiaonuo's blind spot.
Gathering strength, he kicked out.
"collapse!!!!"
A terrifying shockwave exploded, snapping all the vines clinging to the house. Accompanied by a cracking sound, the entire civilization continuation facility was kicked backward for a full five meters under Mai Xiaonuo's bewildered gaze, revealing the shattered concrete foundation in its original location.
However, the door remained completely undamaged.
"...See, it's really hard, isn't it?"
