Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Two days later, on the road leading to the outskirts of the XC district, a fire truck was speeding.

There is a broken bicycle embedded in the dented front, two street signs, a public seat, and a lot of grey-brown minced meat. These are the guys who once blocked its way.

"Who would have thought that there would be no rabies vaccine in such a huge research institute?"

"But it's okay, even if rabies breaks out, you should leave the copy by then."

"Even if it's still a day and a half before the onset of the disease, at worst we'll tie you up."

"Anyway, the disease can't bring out a copy."

Shi Li said this to Mo Saigu, who was unhappy in the passenger seat.

"..., don't you think I'm just suffering from motion sickness?"

"Also, let me hear if what you just said is human language?"

Mushroom replied weakly.

If it weren't for the need for someone to look at the map, it wouldn't be sitting in the most dangerous co-pilot.

【Hahaha…】

In the back row, the beast dog was squatting obediently with its tongue out.

At that time it was greeted with an iron rod by Shi Li on the spot after it finished biting the mushroom, but now it is completely honest.

When it comes to why you must take this beast dog on the road, there is actually a reason.

Because after they agreed to bring it, they received a prompt with subtitles on the panel.

[Beast Dog has temporarily joined your team]

[In the PVE scene, this character can enter the deck]

Unexpectedly, this dog can actually act as a card.

Immediately checked, it turned out to be a D-rank card, many times stronger than the Scarecrow's Burning Garbage series.

According to Director Luo, it won't be a problem at all to single out two or three ordinary beasts.

Judging from the card panel, it is also quite good.

【Beast Dog】

Berserk, 30 points, D

Attack 30, 100/100

[Death poison - passive]: When attacking, the target can be [poisoned] for 2 rounds, cannot be superimposed

([Poisoning]: Take 5 points of damage from the next round, [Defense] cannot reduce it)

There is no mustache in the cube card, what is written on the card is what it is.

So even in the face of beast cards, its [Death Poison] can still take effect.

Now this trip can be said to be relatively smooth. They did not encounter a bereaved beast on the way. According to the map drawn by Uncle Liu, they arrived at the destination after spending 2 hours.

The experimental base of H International Group is located in a place surrounded by mountains, and there are no beasts in this kind of place.

After parking the car and waiting for Mushroom to vomit cleanly, they walked into the outer gate.

"It's over, this place."

Mushroom took a look at the security booth, there was no one there, and there were spots of blue light liquid.

"It's not enough to be remote. If there are too few defense forces, it will be difficult to survive."

Shi Li pulled out the iron rod between words.

"I'm hungry, grass."

The straw man's footsteps are a little frivolous.

This time the dungeon took longer than expected, and its milk tea concentrate tablets were eaten less and less.

"Let's go and search first."

Shi Li cast a look at the beast dog.

[Wow! 】

The Beast Dog walked to the front of the line knowingly, and began to sniff.

It is a dog with a keen sense of smell.

It is still a beast, able to find living people.

So following the beast dog, the three of them walked into the research institute base.

Just entering the base hall, they saw a figure in a white coat.

With their backs to them, stand in the middle of the hall.

"Isn't there someone here?"

Mo Saigu wanted to go up to say hello, but was stopped by Shi Li.

"Wait a moment."

Because he found that the beast dog's posture was wrong.

【Woo...】

At this time, it lowered its body, showing an attacking posture as if facing a formidable enemy.

It can be seen that this is an enemy, and not an ordinary enemy.

【Ga...】

Sure enough, with an unpleasant voice, the "person" turned around slowly.

The dry and gray-brown skin proved that it was a beast.

But the strange thing is that it is different from ordinary beasts, its face is 100% complete, and there are no signs of being bitten.

Then the beast began to split apart in front of them.

To be more precise, it should be the skin sac split.

The crack starts on the forehead and gradually goes down.

"It's not right, do it!"

Shili thought of something, and rushed forward with the iron rod in hand.

"No problem, grass!"

The straw man followed.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Mushroom's bullets came later, 1 out of 6, and the straw man was hit.

"Are you blind, grass!"

The straw man stroked the back of Blossom's head, turned around and cursed.

Fortunately, it is a straw man, even if it is headshot, it will not die, and it can be repaired by drinking two cups of milk tea.

"Don't be distracted, idiot."

When Shi Li reminded it, it had already arrived in front of the beast.

At close range, you can see tender red muscle fibers exposed from the cracked part of this guy.

He raised the stick and landed on the exposed forehead.

Boom!

The beast's knees bent slightly, but it didn't fall down.

"Let me do it, grass!"

The straw man who rushed to the horse kicked the opponent more than ten meters away.

boom!

The beast hit the wall and smashed a spiderweb-like crack, then fell to the ground.

But the attack it received didn't seem to be able to stop its mutation, and the entire back began to arch sharply, as if something was about to break through from the body.

Hiss...!

In less than 2 seconds, the white coat was burst.

A muscular back is revealed.

Seeing that all three of them knew this, it can only be said that it was a coincidence.

They are witnessing the birth of a strengthened beast.

"Let's go together and kill it."

Shi Li didn't feel worried.

The previous strengthened beast was not killed by himself + the straw man.

But when the words were spoken, there was no response behind him.

He looked back and found that the straw man showed a listless look.

It's like a potted plant that hasn't been watered for a long time.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Mushroom!"

Mushroom mushrooms hurried forward.

This is the first time they have seen the straw man in this state.

"Starved to death, grass!"

The straw man's black mouth turned into a ︵ shape, with a bitter expression on his face, and he rubbed his stomach.

Then, under the surprised gazes of Shi Li and Mushroom, its volume began to shrink rapidly.

Soon he changed from being only a head shorter than Shi Li to waist height, similar to Mushroom.

"What's the situation, you are."

Immediately, his expression changed.

"Sorry, low blood sugar, grass~"

Happy straw man raises his hands.

Rather than apologizing, its gesture was more like cheering.

"Are you so sure this is hypoglycemia?! Mushroom!"

The veins of the mushrooms are exposed.

"Look at me, grass~"

However, the straw man seemed to want to prove that he was strong even after shrinking, so he rushed towards the enemy with his fists waving.

【Gah! ! 】

At this moment, the strengthened beast came out completely, and when it saw a little green thing running in front of it, it waved its hand.

"Oh, grass~"

The straw man flew upside down.

"Damn, the gap between you and the front is too big."

Shi Li was stunned on the spot.

Without the assistance of the straw man, he won by himself?

【Gah! 】

At this moment, the strengthened beast rushed towards him.

The mouth that opened to an unreasonable extent seemed to want to chew off his entire face in one bite.

He could only raise the iron bar horizontally and block the opponent's mouth.

Clang!

The powerful impact caused him to roll backwards continuously.

[Wow! 】

At this time, the beast dog rushed up and bit the throat of the strengthened beast, preventing it from chasing Shili.

bang bang!

Mushroom over there closed his eyes and fired two shots in a row, hitting the ankle of the strengthened beast with precision.

For a while, it was dragged like this.

"It can't go on like this."

Shi Li got up with a sore back and aching back, and began to think quickly.

The opponent's physique is obviously superior to his own, and there is no chance of winning a frontal conflict.

And this guy runs fast, even if he wants to escape, it is very difficult.

The most important thing is that according to the previous experience of dealing with the strengthened beast, it proved that its brain is quite hard.

Whether it's his own iron rod or the straw man's attack, there is no way to kill him in one hit.

The only option he has now is to...

"Let's give it a try, the big deal is that the mission fails."

So when he raised his hand, the cube panel popped out.

In his perception at this moment, the flow of time seemed to slow down.

With the control of the mind, the panel quickly jumped to the fusion page.

There is no need to think about it at all, the main card [iron rod] and the material card [iron rod].

Click, blend.

hum!

Brand new cards are released instantly.

【Iron Rod】

Breakthrough, 20 points, D

Attack 26, 100/100, 0/2

[Iron Products-Passive]: Attack Power of Iron Rod +5→+6

Don't look at it as just increasing the attack power by 1 point, but for the equipment cards in the dungeon, the effect is different.

The length of the iron rod in his hand increased by 1/3 out of thin air on the spot, and it became harder just from the feel.

[Iron Rod]: Obtain an iron rod and improve your own strength

↓

[Iron Rod]: Obtain an iron rod (new), and increase (↑) your own strength

In a very short period of time, he carried out a successful fusion with the equipped card as the main card.

In the dungeon, this behavior of making cards is allowed.

It's just that under normal circumstances, no one would do it at all.

Because once the fusion fails and the equipment card explodes, then this equipment card slot can only be vacant in the next time.

But he had previewed the fusion result of the two [Iron Rods] long before entering the dungeon.

"It's amazing, the strength has improved a lot."

Feeling the higher increase in strength, Shi Li finally had a little confidence.

He believed that the current self only needed two sticks, and he might be able to smash the head of the strengthened beast.

Plop!

Just at this time, the strengthened beast fell to the ground.

In the face of a crisis, Mushroom is also very brave.

It was worried that it could not hit, so it simply gave the opponent a set of close-quarters marksmanship.

Within a distance of 1.5 meters, they fired at the strengthened beast.

As the saying goes, the gun is fast beyond seven steps, and the gun is accurate and fast within seven steps.

It aimed at the strengthened beast's head, but with a flick of its little hand, it hit the opponent's ankle.

Self-defeating, Shi Li was given a great opportunity.

"Get out of the way!"

Holding the iron rod with both hands, he struck the back of the opponent's head with one.

Boom!

The feeling of feedback is really different.

【Gah! 】

The strengthened beast that just wanted to get up, only had time to yelp before re-buried on the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shi Li was so powerful that he didn't forgive anyone, so he directly repaired a few more sticks.

It wasn't until the anti-shock made my hands a little numb that I stopped.

In fact, it was almost the same as he estimated, with more strength + a stronger iron rod, he only needed three rods with all his strength to smash the head of the strengthened beast.

"Retreat quickly and go back to the car first."

After finishing the strengthened beast, he didn't dare to keep it any longer, and motioned everyone to get back in the car first.

I went back to the car and checked the situation. In fact, I was lucky after this battle.

Except for the beast dog who suffered a certain degree of injury, both he and the straw man were just scratched.

Of course, the biggest loss is the lack of combat power of the straw man.

The key point is that it forgot to bring a hot water bottle when it came out this trip, so it couldn't make milk tea.

So at present, we can only use the method of taking concentrated tablets in the mouth, and slowly melt the concentrated tablets with our own grass juice saliva.

Not to mention, it feels quite delicious.

It's just that the speed of body recovery is quite slow.

[Wow, woof, woof! 】

At this moment, the Beast Dog let out a series of barks.

"It said that after entering the base just now, it smelled the smell of living people."

Mushroom mushroom translated.

"Can you understand what dogs say?"

Shi Li was taken aback.

"Slightly understand slightly."

The race of mushroom people originally mastered multiple animal languages.

"Oh, then it seems that you are not a complete waste."

"thank you!"

The news brought by the Beast Dog made Shi Li fall into deep thought.

The smell of a living person is actually not surprising.

This base is relatively closed, and it is normal for the smell to linger for a long time. Maybe it was before the outbreak of beasts.

But this behavior of the Beast Dog sparked a new idea in him.

After all, just going back like this, I don't know if Director Luo can settle the task for them.

Since the beast will not attack the beast dog, why not let it go in and have a look first?

After thinking about it, he decided to let the beast dog start again and enter the base alone.

The goal this time is to investigate the situation of the beasts inside and search for survivors.

So he found a pen and paper and wrote a few words, folded it and put it in its collar.

"Go."

After making sure the clip was secure, he patted the dog's back.

[Wow! 】

The beast dog barked twice and ran to the base in a hurry.

As for the three of them, they stayed in the car to rest, waiting for news.

About 30 minutes later, the figure of the beast dog disappeared and returned.

[Wow! 】

It's just that the three of them couldn't help being a little disappointed when they saw that the note was still clipped to its collar.

The fact that the note was not taken away meant that it did not find any survivors.

[Wow woof! Wooow! 】

As soon as the beast dog ran to the side of the car, he began to report the situation to Shi Li.

"It said that it had explored the entire outer circle of the base, but it couldn't get in deeper, and was blocked by the door card."

"In addition, there are very few beasts in this base, and no strengthened beasts have been found."

Mushroom mushroom translated.

"Outer circle?"

Hearing this, he immediately frowned.

It seems that in the end, they still have to go out.

...
