Chapter 1061: Half-Old Child
"I heard that you've been sent here to perform missions before, have you?"
"Um."
Maybe the environment here is too depressing, or maybe it is because Karen, a woman, can't stand the loneliness.
On the way to the next journey, she always looked for topics without saying a word.
This woman entered the company earlier than I did and knew much more than me. If she could bring out some useful news from him, it would be of great value to me.
"Ten thousand people came in, but there were only two who came out alive."
Upon hearing this, Karen was shocked, "I really can't figure it out. After using so much manpower and material resources, I dug out a coffin... "Coffin?"
From her words, I keenly captured this word.
For a coffin?
What coffin?
It was clearly a mining task, and the things dug out were just oil barrel-shaped things, deadly, and I had worked so hard to bring them out from the bottom of the sinkhole... and so on.
The only thing I brought out was that oil barrel. Could it be that oil barrel is what Karen called the coffin?
In a few moments, I sorted out my thoughts.
But when I looked at Karen, she was shocked, with a hint of panic flashing across her face. She pulled the corner of her mouth and forced a smile, shook her hand and said, "It's nothing, don't tell others, I said it..."
Her performance made me even more sure. She told me what I shouldn't have told me.
But this made me more interested.
I pretended to be intentional or unintentional, "If you told me all, maybe I could consider not telling the Doctor what you just said."
"You..." Karen frowned, thought for a long time, and sighed, "Forget it, it's nothing to tell you. Anyway, if we can live from here, you will be promoted to a senior management, and you will know everything at that time."
"If we die, no one will know that I told you this..." She said a lot to herself as if she was comforting herself.
Then, I explained it to me.
It turned out that after I brought out the thing that was similar to a gasoline barrel from this world, the company immediately mobilized top personnel to conduct research.
However, except for a few people, other people who came into contact with the oil barrel died of acute illness in a short period of time.
But this little setback aroused the curiosity of the company's senior executives even more.
They tried every means to open the oil barrel.
But they all ended in failure. There was no way. After scanning it with an instrument, they found that there was a corpse hidden in the oil barrel.
"If I remember correctly, it's probably that..." Karen, after talking for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, stared at me as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "If you dare to report to the upper level, this is what I told you. Even if I die, I will kill you as soon as possible!"
"Know, know."
I nodded perfunctorily, thinking.
Coffin, corpse.
A mountain was flattened and a giant sinkhole was dug for a corpse?
Moreover, with the company's technological strength, it can't even open a coffin?
This made me a little curious about who the corpse belonged to.
However, I didn't think much about it. After all, I don't have the enough status to get in touch with the oil barrel. The first priority is to complete the task first.
Four hours passed, and we were less than ten kilometers away from the campsite on the previous island.
With the previous experience of dealing with that human-faced monster, we can go around the road as we can, and try to choose some monsters that look smaller and easier to deal with.
The speed of progress is quite fast.
Once again, Karen and I stopped at the same time.
It is not for anything else, just because of the heat induction, the clear red dots in the segment.
Judging from the size, the one on the left seems to be less than half a meter in height, which is the smallest among the few monsters.
Of course, you have to pick the soft ones.
Karen and I didn't talk, but we walked towards the left at the same time.
However, although the jump was soft persimmons, we did not relax.
After all, the monsters here cannot be judged by common sense, not to mention that the lions still use all their strength to fight against the rabbit. If they accidentally suffer a careless loss and die, it will be a bit unworthy.
But as we got closer and closer to the monster, the monster that was originally still suddenly jumped around a few times.
Um?
Karen and I looked at each other, and it was a little unclear.
But we did not slow down.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a lingering cry of a baby came from the front, and the sound made me feel cold.
Now there are only some mutated creatures that are still gathered on this island, besides monsters.
What happened to the baby's crying?
"I think maybe we should change our goals..." Along the way, Karen's arrogance was almost the same as she had been wiped out. She was always vigilant and wanted to retreat after hesitating for a few times.
"Then which one do you think we'll choose?"
I rubbed my slightly swollen head and pointed helplessly at the red dots around me.
There are three left in the range I saw, one of which was long and shaped like an extra-large version of an anemone. Just looking at it you know it is difficult to deal with.
The remaining two, one is tall and the other is wide, just looking at the body shape, it looks like a wall.
Overall, the one in front of us gives people a more amiable sense...
"If you want to die, you will die first. After all, you dragged me to this place."
I was speechless, but I didn't care too much.
Chapter completed!
