The sky on Meteor Street was as gray as ever.

Since those monsters appeared here, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood in addition to the smell of rotting garbage.

In order to drive these monsters out, the people on Meteor Street spent a lot of effort.

But so far, the results were minimal.

"Are we really going to go in there?"

Lying far away near the castle wrapped in spider silk, Shimura looked very scared.

Everyone else wanted to avoid the castle on the opposite side, but the three of them insisted on going in to die.

Maybe it was a bit too much to say that they were going to die.

However, he had never seen the abilities of Wuji and Huaguo, even if he believed that they were able to save him from the monsters.

But-

He dragged his left leg with some difficulty.

Slight fracture.

It was much better than losing his life, but it also made it extremely inconvenient for him to move.

He didn't know what the two would think, but for him, it was his luck to meet these two people who seemed to have not adapted to Meteor Street.

Trust was a relatively rare thing in Meteor Street.

Not to mention saving people.

But even if they saved him before, it didn't mean that he was willing to risk his life with them.

"Didn't you say that if you want to leave Meteor Street, you must first get the consent of the Elder Council?" Hearing Shimura's question, Huaguo asked back with a blank face.

"Yes, yes." He stuttered, thinking that he said something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

However, looking at Hanaguo and Mukichi's frank and magnanimous expressions, Shimura finally realized what had happened.

"So we're here to fight the monsters?" Shimura's eyes widened, "This is called negotiation?

Are you so powerful? "

"We're not here to fight the monsters," meeting the child's surprised eyes, Wuji and Huaguo's faces were a bit shy, especially Wuji who touched his nose, "We're here to save people."

After all, the monsters they encountered before were so powerful, they were not confident that they could win after facing them head-on.

In contrast, if they were just here to save people, it should be relatively simple.

Furthermore.

If they succeeded this time, they should be able to get out of Meteor Street, right?

The past few days of living in District 1 had completely changed their view of Meteor Street.

Although it was still a place where the strong preyed on the weak and the strong were respected, this place was different from the unrestrained plundering that they used to live in the outermost region. The people here seemed to be more disciplined and focused more on strength.

Moreover, it was said that the monster incident this time was quite big, but the Elder Council, who was at the top of the food chain in Meteor Street, had yet to take action.

Did that mean that there was an opportunity to take advantage of?

That was what Huaguo thought based on the information he gathered from Wuji over the past few days.

However, when they came out of the basement, Shimura thought that they were going to abandon him and insisted on following them.

It's all good now.

At this point, there was no place to retreat even if they wanted to.

"I told you, didn't I?

Your leg hasn't recovered yet. Even if you wait there for us to return, it's fine. "

Taking advantage of the fact that things hadn't reached the point of no return yet, Hanaguo couldn't help but try to persuade Shimura once again.

"There's no need."

Shimura lowered his head. His long hair covered his eyes, and the expression on his face couldn't be seen clearly.

He said that he wouldn't die in vain with these two people.

However, in Meteor Street, trust was too extravagant.

Although his leg would recover sooner or later, in these days, his ability was indeed much worse than before.

If this continued, it wouldn't be strange for him to be thrown away again in the name of being abandoned.

Anyway, he had already been abandoned once. Even if he could accept it, it wasn't that he couldn't accept it.

It was just that his heart became more and more addicted.

He knew that he would definitely drag the two people down if he came, but he still came. Not only did he come, but he also made a decision in his heart. Once he was abandoned, he would fight to the death.

It was impossible that the people who were with him would still be able to live well when he was about to die, right?

If he had to blame —

He could only blame them for saving him at that time.

"I'll go in with you."

It was a tall building made of spider silk or some unknown animal silk. What surprised Huaguo and Wuji was that the towering entrance didn't have any barriers at all.

Not to mention the monsters guarding the entrance, there wasn't even a door set up.

This wasn't different from an open approach, but it made Wuji and Huaguo, who were expecting a fierce battle, hesitate in place.

Since the other party chose to open the gate in such an open way, it meant that they didn't care about the invasion at all, but at the same time, they warmly welcomed the invasion of humans.

They were frightened by their own guesses.

"Are we still going in?" At this moment, even Wuji was a little hesitant.

After all, once they went in, it wouldn't be like now, where they could leave as they wished.

Seeing this, Huaguo took a deep breath, and calmed himself down. "Since we're already here, we should go in and take a look."

Previously, when they used the formation, Huaguo felt that the Queen's attack was really frightening at the beginning, and later on, when she heard the angry roar full of confidence, so in the end, Huaguo subconsciously thought that the Queen wasn't hurt at all.

But later on, when Wuji went out to investigate, although the monsters were still wreaking havoc, their leader, the Killer Queen, still hadn't appeared.

In addition, she was actually aware of how powerful the formation was.

That day, she just didn't realize it for a while. Now that she thought about it carefully, even if the formation couldn't kill the Queen, it was still possible to heavily injure her.

Since that was the case, she should take her life while she was weak.

There was no better opportunity than now.

If she didn't go now, when the so-called Queen recovered, it would be even more difficult.

Bypassing the spacious spider silk castle hall, what appeared in front of them were six different paths.

"It's best if we don't split up." Facing the many forks, it was so dark that they couldn't see where each path led to.

Although they might be delayed by going the wrong way, at least the three of them were together, and they could take care of each other.

"Then — —" Wuji looked at the forks in front of them. "Which one should we go?"

She casually pointed at the brightest path. "This one?"

It was just a casual point, but the other two didn't seem to have any objections to Huaguo's actions. "Mm, then let's go."

As soon as they walked in, they realized that the forks in the road were wider than the three of them thought.

Moreover, they were still in Meteor Street, but they didn't know if it was because of the spider silk wrapped around the buildings, but unexpectedly, they couldn't smell the rotten smell of the garbage outside at all.

It was just that when they walked in, the tip of their nose could still smell a faint smell of blood.

They didn't know if it was the stench of the Xenomorphs, but it was like maggots and bones, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.

Following the path under their feet, they made a few turns and passed through a tall hall. They were about to reach another corner.

Unexpectedly, they seemed to hear someone talking not far in front of them.

They looked at each other and quietly lay in ambush, quietly watching the scene in front of them.

The position they were occupying was quite good, and it happened to be blocked by a pillar made of spider silk. From here, they could see the scene outside, which was the scene in front of the corner.

But looking from that side, they couldn't see anything.

The three of them adjusted their breathing, and after making sure that they wouldn't be exposed, they carefully poked their heads out to look.

Two enemies, and a human trapped in front of the Zerg.

The scene didn't look like a battle had taken place.

Moreover — —

It was the first time they had ever seen a hostage talk so calmly with the perpetrators.

"You're from the operation department, right?"

"The moment you inserted Peyroux, you let your guard down, this is the evidence."

It looked like a small robot monster, with a black shell on its back, but its hands didn't relax at all as it adjusted the remote control. "That thing, is the condition for your control ability to activate?"

"You thought that the plan succeeded, so you let your guard down."

"I think you're from the operation department too, right?"

Despite being trapped under the control of the giant beetle, the golden-haired young man still looked calm. "The reason why my ability didn't activate when the conditions were met is that this object has long been controlled by other ability users."

"That's right, the control ability is first come, first served. Now, as long as I bring you to the queen, my job is done." The fearless monster adjusted the remote control in its hand, not caring at all.

"If this continues, what will happen to me?"

"Become a slave, work for the queen, and know death."

.....

"Should we save him?" Wuji watched for a while, mouthing a question, but he was careful not to make a sound.

"Let's wait and see."

The telekinesis ability of the operation department.

After knowing how it operated, this ability wasn't that scary.

The monster he thought was an enemy was actually only one person.

The small one with the remote control in its hand, if that's all — —

It should work!

He gave Wuji a look, and pulled Shimura, who was still curiously looking out, behind him.

Vines appeared out of thin air, blocking the vision in front.

Chivalry, who was trapped by the spider, was already prepared to remotely control himself to escape. Seeing this, the backup antenna in his hand stopped in mid-air, and suddenly became quiet.

But the expression on his face, compared to the joy of being able to escape, was more of curiosity towards the vines.

Huaguo couldn't see through this guy, but he still planned to save him first.

Moreover, compared to his calmness when facing the vines, the little monster that looked like a robot didn't have such a good attitude.

He only had two choices now.

Or, he could remotely control the monster called Peiru to attack them. But if he did that, the trapped people would be saved.

Or, he had to face the joint attack of Huaguo and Wuji, and use his own ability to control a new person to attack.

But the vines already blocked the blonde boy, who was the easiest target. In other words, he didn't have a chance.

Already familiar with Huaguo's vines, Wuji's movements were fast.

Almost at the same time as the enemy raised the remote control in its hand, he had already chopped off its head.

'Bang — —'

A heavy sound was heard.

The round object spun on the ground, but there was no scarlet blood. Instead, a sticky blue liquid slowly flowed out from the inside.

Although they could speak human language, they were still insects in essence.

"That — —" The blonde, blue-eyed babyface who escaped from the beetle's arms smiled amiably, "Can you put me down first?"

"You can come down yourself."

Huaguo pulled Wuji back, clearly distancing himself from the hostage he had just saved.

"So cold."

Although that was what he said, the smiling young man who jumped down from the beetle with a relaxed expression didn't show any such emotions.

Just as Wuji eliminated the little bug, Huaguo noticed that the beetle that trapped the blonde boy regained its consciousness after losing its controller.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should use some of his vines to help.

He saw — —

Before it could completely recover, the blonde boy, who was clearly at a disadvantage and could only move three fingers and one leg, inserted the antenna on his hand into its joint without hesitation.

Although there was a reason for this, and he did a good job of dealing with the emergency and adapting to the situation.

But in the face of such a situation, he could still smile.

He always felt that.
