The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 178: Take Action (Two more chapters with words, please subscribe)

The reason why Tan Yongrui was let go was because Huo Ying understood that there was no need to judge him himself.

Anyone who shoots should be prepared to be shot.

If you are a knife, you must know that you will also be stabbed.

Seeing the guards' attitude towards the suicide bomber and the bait, Huo Ying understood that the knife aimed at Tan Yongrui had already fallen.

"Tan Yongrui must have had a miserable end." The old dean was not at all surprised that Huo Ying had the ability to see through things. He didn't even need to see Tan Yongrui. The old dean knew Tan Yongrui's end better than Huo Ying did.

"The more doomsday approaches, the more meaningful the existence of the research institute becomes." The old dean tried to comfort him: "In the current living environment, everyone is a bad person because they can't see hope."

"Only in the research institute can we hope to study the origin of the weirdness, invent tools to control the weirdness, and allow the survivors to have the patience to suppress their own malice, and place their hopes on tomorrow, on us researchers."

"If it were you, you could definitely become the dean of the research institute. You could even let me stay in this half-dead state. I would serve you without reservation and even call on other researchers to do research for you."

The old dean tried to persuade them kindly, but he was dead, the research institute had become a mess, and the hope of XN City had been extinguished. It was useless for the investigation team to rely solely on passion and strange fighting. Without the supplies from the research institute, the investigation team would sooner or later fall apart due to the huge casualties. If they relied on the guard team, it would be even more useless. For the rulers, all the survivors were chess pieces. Even if Huang Tianding was replaced, there would still be new players who would sacrifice chess pieces for their own interests.

When a country prospers, the survivors suffer; when a country perishes, the survivors suffer as well. This is the law of nature and there is no way to avoid it.

But the existence of the research institute can bring some changes to this rule.

That is, maybe one day, the research institute can develop consumables to replace the survivors.

In that case, maybe everyone's life would be a little better.

"If the research institute is so noble, how did you die?" Huo Ying looked at the old dean with sympathy and revealed his scars.

Forget it, I’m tired, let it be destroyed, let all of humanity perish.

The old dean's face turned red and then purple. He was killed by his own students. Although he said a few harsh words before his death, which hurt the self-esteem of the superior, in fact, the feeling of betrayal made the old dean more painful.

However, he glanced at Huo Ying hesitantly, and thinking of Huo Ying's power, the old dean couldn't help but asked weakly: "You won't hate humans because of this and use your power to destroy this city, right?"

Huo Ying smiled faintly, shook his head, and did not answer the old dean's question, which made the old dean a little worried.

The location of the secret experimental base was very hidden. The old dean led Huo Ying to choose sparsely populated areas to avoid being seen as much as possible.

"Hold on, everyone. The twelve constellations will come to support us soon."

After passing through an alley, the old dean and Huo Ying broke into a ruin, where several infected people were struggling to deal with a huge level 3 infected creature.

From the outside, this infected creature looks like a mutated rhinoceros beetle, but unlike the rhinoceros beetle, this monster has no wings. Instead, it has a huge tentacle on its head, which is densely covered with mouths. Every time it opens its mouth, a venomous fang spurts out, making the infected people panic.

"You guys, retreat quickly, it's too dangerous here."

An honest-looking infected person shouted, and Huo Ying took a quick glance and unexpectedly discovered that this was an acquaintance. When he rushed back to Ailing Town from Dongling Town, he had exchanged information with a convoy fleeing from Lianhai City. The main force responsible for fighting the insects was Lao Niu, a level three infected person from Lianhai City.

"Scumbag, do me a favor and escort them away."

Lao Niu shouted at a man with tattoos all over his skin. Huo Ying had also seen this man. The tattooed man was Lao Niu's co-pilot at the time. The tattoos on their bodies represented the special abilities of the infected people in Lianhai City. People with the same tattoos could use the infected people's abilities as a medium to communicate with each other.

The person who was called a scumbag spat.

"I have a lot of tattoos, but they are just for you to use as a phone. Don't give me such a disgusting nickname." The tattooed man was dissatisfied, but his actions were very quick. He rushed to the old dean and Huo Ying, pulled their arms, and pushed them into the alley: "Old man, be careful, leave here quickly, it's very dangerous here."

boom.

The mutated rhinoceros beetle discovered the situation here and suddenly shot out a venomous fang, shooting towards the position of the old dean and Huo Ying.

"Be careful."

Lao Niu saw it clearly and shouted a warning in a hurry.

"Oops!"

The tattooed man also saw the rhinoceros beetle's attack out of the corner of his eye. At this moment, he was pushing the old dean and Huo Ying with both hands. He found that the fangs were shooting at the two of them, and hurriedly raised the Yangshi weapon in his hand to resist. However, it was obviously too late to put down his hand and raise the weapon. The tattooed man could only use his weapon to chop at the fangs as much as possible.

However, moving the body was faster than swinging the weapon to chop the fangs.

The tattooed man subconsciously took a step towards Poison Fang and stood in front of the old dean and Huo Ying.

"Fuck, I'm going to die. Seriously, I died saving two old men. It would have been much better if I was a hero saving a beautiful woman."

The tattoo was difficult to see clearly, and the trajectory of his sword was too slow. In the next second, the fangs would pass through the sword and kill him.

Thinking of this, the tattooed man did not regret it. He just sneered and complained, then stood in front of the two men like a shield, without any intention of retreating.

God is empty.

Suddenly, the tattooed man felt an inexplicable force surging into his body.

A faint chakra cloak, barely detectable to the naked eye, was draped over his body.

The next second, his speed suddenly increased. He clearly didn't have time to swing his Yang Blade, but he arrived first and knocked the fangs away with a clang.

"I'm, like, exploding?"

The tattooed man looked at his hands in surprise. Everything was not an illusion. The powerful force still existed.

"Fuck it, I exploded because of two old men?"

The tattooed man muttered in surprise, then raised his Yang Dao and rushed towards the rhinoceros beetle again, howling.

"Come on, scumbag."

Behind the tattooed man, Huo Ying thanked him very seriously.

"You're welcome. Hey, you scumbag, I just have more tattoos!"

After explaining angrily, the tattooed man did not look back, but joined the battle seriously.

With Huo Ying using the chakra coat attached to Shen Kong, the tattooed man's combat power more than doubled. The team, which was obviously on the verge of collapse, was like being given a shot of cardiotonic medicine, and they fought the powerful infected beast on equal terms.

"Come on, scumbag, let's kill this big guy before the twelve constellations come, and let the people of XN City see that we are not vegetarians even for the investigation team of Hai City!"

Lao Niu was extremely proud of his brother's success. He then risked his life, climbed onto the back of the giant rhinoceros beetle, and held the beetle's head tightly with both hands.

"Get heavier, or I'll crush you to death!"

The old bull's ability turned out to be weight. He could change his weight in an instant. With a loud roar, the old bull pressed the rhinoceros beetle's head heavily to the ground like a mountain. The tentacle that kept spitting out fangs also pierced deeply into the ground and stopped spitting out fangs for a short time. "This is the time, scumbag, go ahead and kill it!"

The old cow roared, and the tattooed man quickly followed, swinging his Yang Sword and trying to cut off the rhinoceros beetle's tentacles first to eliminate its attack power.

Click.

At this moment, the rhinoceros beetle's back suddenly cracked.

It turns out that this sturdy shell is actually a pair of clumsy wings. Although the wings cannot fly, there are two sturdy arms hidden under the wings.

Realizing that it was being controlled by the old bull above its head, the rhinoceros beetle exposed its trump card and stabbed the old bull that was restraining it with its two arms.

"Old cow!"

The tattooed man's physical fitness was improved in all aspects. He noticed the rhinoceros beetle's movements and screamed with bloodshot eyes.

Although Lao Niu didn't know what had happened, he knew that he was in danger.

"Don't worry about me, kill it first!"

At this moment, the old cow's weight is as heavy as Mount Tai. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and he has no chance to dodge.

"careful!"

On the other side, a woman's reminder suddenly came.

The fat Aquarius rushed over with extremely graceful movements. She was one of the twelve zodiac signs who came to support.

Seeing that the old cow was about to encounter danger, Aquarius suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed the sewage he had absorbed before towards the rhinoceros beetle's arm.

There is no other way to save the old cow, so Aquarius can only try his luck and hope that the sewage can corrode the rhinoceros beetle's arms, or buffer the beetle's power, increasing the old cow's hope of escaping.

late.

The tattooed man yelled in despair. He could see the trajectory of all the attacks and knew that Aquarius' attack speed was definitely not as fast as that of the Rhinoceros Beetle.

Unable to rescue his companions, the tattooed man could only put all his strength on the rhinoceros beetle's tentacles to vent his pain.

clang.

The Yang Sword slashed heavily on the ground, splashing sparks all over the ground.

Aquarius's sewage also sprayed out and spread on the ground with a sizzling sound.

The old bull riding on the rhinoceros beetle's neck was even worse. It fell directly to the ground. The weight of Mount Tai crushed the ground. Only the head of the bull was exposed, and its body was buried in the mud.

The smell of gunpowder wafted through the air, and at this moment, the huge rhinoceros beetle turned into specks of ashes like burning tissue paper.

"Fuck, you scumbag, awesome! You killed this guy with just one blow!"

"Ah, did I hack him to death? It should be Aquarius who corroded him with sewage."

The tattooed man looked at his Yang Knife in surprise. It seemed that the Rhinoceros Beetle had died the moment the Yang Knife touched it, because in his perception, the strength he had just used was in vain.

"It's not me. It was too dangerous. Your knife was too dangerous. If it was slower, the old cow would have been stabbed to death by the rhinoceros beetle. If it was faster, the old cow would have been contaminated by my dirty water and corroded to death by me..."

Aquarius walked up to the dissipated body of the rhinoceros beetle and exclaimed with admiration that the tattooed man's knife was so clever that there was nothing wrong with it, whether it was the lethality or the timing.

"Really me?"

The tattooed man was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something, looked down at the ground, and picked up a carbonized branch where the rhinoceros beetle's body disappeared.

How come there are poplar trees on the battlefield?
The tattooed man turned his head quickly. The old dean and Huo Ying, whom he had just pushed, had already disappeared into the alley.

Come on, scumbag.

Thinking of Huo Ying's faint encouragement, the tattooed man stared at the direction where Huo Ying left from afar.

It must be my own imagination.

Is there really someone who can kill a level 3 infected creature instantly with a piece of poplar wood?

The tattooed man knew clearly that compared to killing the level 3 infected creature with a single knife, the man killing the monster with a branch was closer to the truth.

"Old Dean, why are you suddenly speeding up and not dawdling?"

Huo Ying looked at the old dean, who couldn't suppress his smile and kept laughing, and couldn't help but spit out something.

"You don't understand. We can't take that alley just now. We have to take a longer detour, so we have to speed up." The old dean was obviously more enthusiastic towards Huo Ying. Seeing Huo Ying secretly helping humans, the old dean finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been worried that Huo Ying would be disgusted by the evil in human nature and use his powerful force to wipe out all humans.

Now, he is not worried anymore.

He has already understood that Huo Ying not only has strength, but also has a clear understanding of the world. Huo Ying lives for the good in this world and will not be disappointed with this world just because he discovers evil.

Even if Huo Ying did not agree to join the research institute, the old dean would be relieved because Huo Ying was a man with stars in his eyes and hope in his heart.

A person with hope is a strong person. Even for his own sake, such a person will subconsciously make the world a better place.

"We're almost there. The laboratory is in front."

The old dean stopped pretending and used his reincarnated body to climb and jump, taking shortcuts all the time. After a few jumps, he arrived at the location where the secret experimental base was hidden.

"This body is really useful. All my old age diseases have disappeared. I never thought that death would be more comfortable than life."

The old dean clapped his hands, feeling a little reluctant for a moment. After finding his own body and having more flesh and blood, Huo Ying would summon him again. He didn't know if he would have any impression of this experience when he was summoned again after he disappeared.

In the distance, a thumb-sized person poked his head out from the crack in the wall, his eyes full of shock.

"Impossible, teacher, he is resurrected?"

Gao Zaishang was terrified at first, he had clearly killed the old dean completely, how could the old dean come back to life and even rush back from outside? Could it be that the old dean also possessed the ability of Gemini? Then wouldn't the trump card he used to resurrect be seen through by the old dean?

However, Gao Zaishang laughed again.

Even if the old dean knew his trump card, it would be useless. As long as the opponent was not a person with complex abilities like Zhang Yuqi, he would not need to fear any enemy after his concentration.

It was better that the old dean was alive, which meant that he didn't need to guess how to become level four anymore. He could just capture the old dean alive again and calmly ask him the secret.
