Chapter 193: A-Rank… Huayibai…?
Perhaps because she had acquired the same ability as these blue serpents, Lin Jiayao, controlling A4’s body, could easily understand the meaning of this information.
Perhaps when she switched back to her main body, her main body, which hadn’t acquired the blue serpent’s language analysis ability, wouldn’t be able to understand this information.
Even if she heard it by chance, she might think it was meaningless buzzing.
But these were not the main point. Now Lin Jiayao’s mind was immersed in this complicated information, gradually sorting out a thread.
Almost every image transmitted by the blue serpents contained these scenes.
After integrating them slightly, Lin Jiayao felt as if she was there, experiencing this perspective.
Being squeezed out of a dark crevice, swaying and tumbling down a blue, steep “cliff,” and finally stopping somewhere.
This was inside an egg, very much like the red vesicle Lin Jiayao saw in the sea that day, just not as big and not as bright in color.
After gathering into a pile with other eggs, they would feel a huge suction force, and all the blue serpent eggs would be sucked away by this force.
As the viewpoint ascended, the true appearance of the blue “cliff” below gradually emerged.
It was a huge blue serpent with two pairs of long, white claws behind it.
It was coiled on the seabed as if dead, but it was constantly laying eggs, accumulating a certain amount inside its coiled body before letting its eggs be sucked away.
Like an emotionless egg-laying machine.
The subsequent experiences were similar.
They were sucked into a blue tube, all the way to a sarcoma, and then continuously squeezed forward along the fleshy wall.
They would first be placed in a fleshy wall for storage, allowing them to quietly develop.
Every time they reached a certain size, a batch of them would be separated into the next “meat chamber”, waiting to continue developing and separating.
Finally, when they were about to hatch, they would be transported through a pipe to a huge red vesicle. This vesicle would absorb their soft shells and the remaining nutrient solution, preventing them from evolving their final claws.
And they would be kept inside until, after a few inexplicable tremors, they were quickly devoured by a giant mouth inserted into the meat chamber.
They were backup energy. They were treated as backup energy.
Although she didn’t see which creature’s body they were in, Lin Jiayao clearly understood their fate.
Perhaps the light blue thread that Lin Jiayao saw on the seabed in Japan that day, the one that dragged her over, was used to transport those eggs.
She might have been treated as a weak egg and dragged in, and then because of her larger size, she was sent to the final meat chamber.
Finally, it should be that she was discovered, so she was directly devoured.
But what was the use of knowing this?
Lin Jiayao slowly opened her eyes and looked at the reservoir in front of her.
The giant creature that swallowed the blue serpent was at least A-rank, and the huge, wind serpent-like bone-clawed serpent that bred the blue serpents might also be A-rank.
A fight between gods, if Lin Jiayao went over now, she would definitely suffer.
But judging from the blue serpents’ actions, they could clearly communicate, and they desperately wanted to communicate with Lin Jiayao and escape their predicament.
That huge blue serpent mother was also in Japan…
Could it play a key role in Lin Jiayao’s possession plan?
Lin Jiayao began to think about this question.
Blue serpents could be used as energy for devouring, and they could generate electricity themselves. If she could get a few small blue serpents and raise them in Kun City, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Lin Jiayao.
She wouldn’t empathize with a blood crystal being exploited by another blood crystal.
She would only think about why it wasn’t her who was doing the exploiting.
Suddenly, Lin Jiayao seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes slowly widened.
She jumped out from the center of the reservoir, landed on the shore, and made a heavy landing sound.
“Thump—”
After landing, she paced back and forth anxiously, frowning.
It’s over.
The plan to possess an A-rank was completely ruined.
Her plan was originally flawless, but now there was a variable.
Those blue serpents were the variable.
Originally, Lin Jiayao’s plan was to clear the zombies in that seabed city, attack and lure the A-rank in the seabed closer, and then use suicide, an almost self-destructive method, to quickly extract, and then quickly log in, forcibly using the system to log into the A-rank zombie.
After No. 5 committed suicide, only that A-rank would be left in that area, and logging into it would be a sure thing.
But now, after Lin Jiayao learned that those blue serpents were very likely inside that unknown A-rank seabed zombie, all her previous plans were ruined.
Those blue serpent larvae were inside its body, which meant that Lin Jiayao’s login might not be into that A-rank.
But into the blue serpents inside its body.
“Boom—”
Lin Jiayao punched the mountain on one side fiercely, making a loud roar, and rubble splashed.
Were all her previous preparations in vain?
Was there any way to kill all the blue serpents inside that zombie at once?
The possibility was not high… Although she didn’t know how strong that A-rank zombie was, the possibility of her being able to break through its defense was very slim.
If she couldn’t even break through its defense, let alone kill something inside its body.
Use this method against the A-rank sea urchin in Yangzhou City?
That was even more impossible. Now, after being washed by waves of flesh and blood walls, Yangzhou City must be full of seabed zombies, and it was impossible to clear them all.
Logically speaking, they didn’t need to throw those seabed cannon fodder onto the shore when they landed. They could basically launch a devastating attack on the land themselves.
But why did they still do this?
Suddenly, a hysterical figure flashed through Lin Jiayao’s mind. Coupled with the performance of the two A-rank seabed zombies, a terrifying thought emerged in Lin Jiayao’s mind.
They were taking precautions against her using the system to log into their bodies.
Whether it was the A-rank zombie in Japan frantically filling its body with blue serpents, or the A-rank zombie in Yangzhou City using walls of flesh and blood to dilute the probability of Lin Jiayao logging into it, it all proved the possibility of this guess.
And what made Lin Jiayao have this guess was that figure.
Wu Hejun.
This lunatic was the first high-level blood crystal that inexplicably wanted to kill her.
In her crazy talk, Lin Jiayao learned that there would be more blood crystals with “prophetic” abilities coming to her.
Could it be that there were also blood crystals with “prophetic” abilities on the seabed, and it was it that ordered or drove these zombies to the shore to kill her?
“Phew…”
Lin Jiayao exhaled.
Things seemed to be more complicated than she had imagined.
At first, she just thought that in five years, the seabed zombies had already finished fighting each other, or a more powerful zombie had appeared in the center of the sea, which made those A-rank zombies have ideas about the land.
But now it seemed that in addition to the previous two possibilities, there was now one more possibility.
That was… to kill her.
You know, there were far more species and unknowns in the sea than on land. If the blood crystal rain fell globally at the same time, and the amount in each place was the same, then the ocean would account for 71% of the blood crystals.
No matter how you compared the quantity and quality, land zombies were no match.
And she, on the other hand, could only log into the land and couldn’t log into the seabed at all.
If they were really coming for her.
The only good news might be that if they used the method of paving the way with walls of flesh and blood like in Yangzhou City, it would take a long time to reach Kun City.
And the bad news was that she might not be able to be promoted to A-rank.
She had to evolve…
She needed a huge amount of Blood Crystals…
Where could she get such a large amount of Blood Crystals?
Even if she found and killed all the remaining seven or eight possible B-rank locations marked in the central and southern regions and took their Blood Crystals, it might not be enough to evolve to A-rank.
She still had to find a way to start from the seabed…
Even at the same B-rank, the amount of Blood Crystals obtained from devouring a seabed zombie was much more than that of a land zombie, after all, the amount of Blood Crystals they could store was different.
The failure of the plan did not make Lin Jiayao discouraged. After a brief adjustment, Lin Jiayao set her sights on the seabed.
A-rank zombies shouldn’t be rampant on the seabed. She could completely try to hunt on the seabed.
Lin Jiayao looked around and quickly locked onto an Extraction Point.
141.1km, East Third Interchange Extraction Point.
Go east.
After reaching the East Third Interchange, the straight-line distance between A4 and Mask would be less than 70 kilometers, and they could completely meet up.
If the two zombies acted together, with one of them in system dormancy, even if they encountered danger, they could divert the danger to the dormant zombie.
In the current situation, two together was much better than one zombie extracting.
The advantage was safety, and the disadvantage was that if A4 had already passed through a path, Mask might not be able to get anything when it passed through again.
But this disadvantage was no longer a problem for Lin Jiayao. She could now basically earn money without relying on zombies to fight, she just needed to log in and retain the evolutions.
Now Mask was controlling the huge zombie ray, and its movement speed was not much different from A4’s.
Even if it was really slow, she could just feed the zombie ray’s corpse to A4 and let Mask control a flying zombie bird.
The Extraction Points set by the system were completely based on the zombie’s movement speed. It was like the dice used to move forward in a game. The faster you were, the more dice you could use to move forward.
If Mask controlled a B-rank flying bird, and then fed part of the bird’s flesh and blood to A4… it wouldn’t be impossible for them to travel thousands of miles a day.
It just so happened that Lin Jiayao could now log into two B-rank zombies a day, so she would have to trouble A4 and Mask to play “It Takes Two” during this time. (TN: A play on the video game title)
After confirming the target, Lin Jiayao directly switched her consciousness back to her body, leaving a command for Mask to extract to the designated location.
After opening her eyes, the tense muscles in Lin Jiayao’s body slowly relaxed.
Irritated…
Lin Jiayao moved her shoulders slightly and saw the two plastic pieces hanging on the vine curtains, and thought of Huayibai.
Lin Jiayao slowly lowered her head and looked at Huayibai, who had just finished drinking the happy water and was giggling, thinking about something.
Huayibai…
Lin Jiayao suddenly thought of something and reached out to shake Huayibai’s shoulder.
Suddenly being shaken, Huayibai seemed to be awakened from a sweet dream, opened her eyes in a daze, looked around, and finally focused on Lin Jiayao.
“Mommy?”
Huayibai called out and sat up, sitting beside Lin Jiayao.
“Huayibai, Mommy has a mission for you…” Lin Jiayao hesitated for a moment and asked, “Are you afraid of A-rank zombies?”
Lin Jiayao had a new idea.
Since she couldn’t log into that A-rank zombie that could shoot black bone spurs… why not change her thinking?
Wasn’t there a dormant blue serpent in that sea area?
If she let Huayibai fly over, invade the dormant blue serpent’s body, and directly devour that A-rank blue serpent…
Wouldn’t Huayibai have a high probability of evolving to A-rank?
She couldn’t log into an A-rank herself, but wouldn’t it be the same if Huayibai evolved to A-rank?
Among the blood crystals Lin Jiayao knew that had such strong devouring ability, there were only two, one was A4, and the other was Huayibai.
Even A4’s devouring ability was obtained by swallowing Blood Orb spores.
Letting Huayibai swallow a dormant A-rank, as long as the A-rank didn’t wake up, she could definitely devour it completely from the inside.
There were still two problems.
What if the evolution failed?
What if… she didn’t recognize her after evolving?
Huayibai had always recognized her as “Mommy”, mainly because after the system retained the evolution, it seemed to directly retain the most primitive and purest evolution, similar to a mother.
If Huayibai evolved to A-rank, then her own spores would also be almost as pure as the mother, or even become the mother. Would she still recognize her as “Mommy” then?
These things couldn’t be simulated in the training ground.
Seemingly seeing the hesitation in Lin Jiayao’s eyes, Huayibai looked at her, smiled, and opened her arms.
“Mommy, hug~”
Lin Jiayao was slightly stunned, looking at Huayibai in front of her, who seemed carefree and always smiling.
Can I trust you?
Lin Jiayao didn’t say these words, she already had the answer in her heart.
The crazy blood crystals were like a torrent, pushing and carrying her forward. If she didn’t move forward, she could only wait for death.
Lin Jiayao would control No. 5 and do her best to ensure Huayibai’s safety, so that she could successfully devour and evolve.
Lin Jiayao extended her arms and gently hugged Huayibai.
“Mommy has a mission for you…”
……
A streamlined flapping-wing insect, full of Blood Crystals, slowly took off from Chongyu City, turned into a black streamer, and flew towards Togane City in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, more than 3,200 kilometers away.
