Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning

"What?!"

Luo Hong frowned and asked quickly:

"What kind of monster is it? A sword-armed mantis?!"

An uncertain response came from the earphones:

"Uh, no, it looks like an oversized wasp. I've never seen one before, but it's definitely not a blade-armed mantis."

"Oh, as long as it's not a sword-armed mantis..."

Luo Hong subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Even she herself didn't notice that during this short siege, the roles of hunter and prey had quietly changed.

"Get closer to me as quickly as possible. When everyone is together, we will retreat."

Before the words could be spoken, several screams suddenly came from the earphones.

Luo Hong was startled, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

She tried calling several team leaders' names, but there was no response.

"Why did something happen all of a sudden... Is it Lu Li? No... It shouldn't be Lu Li. It might be a sneak attack by other monsters..."

Luo Hong's words were trembling, and his eyes were slowly filled with fear.

She suddenly remembered something.

The monsters near No. 1 Middle School seemed to have been wiped out by the survivors in the school.

Then what is it that harvests lives in the dark night? !

Luo Hong suddenly looked out the car window.

It was dark outside.

It is not the kind of darkness where there is a faint light and you can see the outline of things clearly with hard work.

The blackness outside the car window was like substance, as if it had condensed into an airtight wall.

As if there is life...

wrong,

It is really alive!

Luo Hong was horrified to find that the 'darkness' outside the car window squirmed!

A low voice suddenly came from the earphones, which scared her so much that she almost screamed.

"Sister Hong, are you going to get out of the car and have a chat?"

"Who are you?"

As soon as the question was uttered, the answer appeared in Luo Hong's mind unconsciously.

Who else could it be besides Lu Li?

"I'm the one you want to kill."

The low voice spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was announcing his home status in a normal manner.

Luo Hong forced himself to calm down, swallowed and said:

"I admit that you are very strong, much stronger than I expected. But if you want to keep me alive, you will definitely pay a huge price!"

Luo Hong was not bluffing when he said this.

Although her own talent does not have any fighting ability, the men accompanying her in the car are not soft persimmons.

"Lao Hei, Xiao Ba, A Kun, upgrade!"

As Luo Hong issued the order, the three men in the car immediately took out Yuan Jing to absorb it.

The level increases and reaches Lv.4 instantly.

Luo Hong thought that doing this would at least make Lu Li feel a little afraid.

But what I didn’t expect was that the voice coming from the headphones was still calm and gentle:

"Looking at you like this, are you not going to talk anymore?"

Before Luo Hong could speak, Lao Hei, who was sitting next to him, opened the car door first:

"Sister Hong, you stay in the car, we go down and kill that kid!!"

"Yes! A guy who is not even on the level list must be playing tricks!"

Xiaoba and Akun responded in unison.

Before Luo Hong could say anything, the three of them got out of the car and disappeared into the thick darkness.

"Old Hei... Xiaoba..."

Luo Hong's eyes widened, trying to see some opportunities for victory through the car window.

But nothing happened.

The darkness outside was still thick, like a pool of stagnant water.

Luo Hong couldn't even hear a sound of fighting.

The only sound was her own panicked breathing.

"...You really don't want to come down and talk?"

Lu Li's voice sounded again, like a thunder exploded in Luo Hong's mind.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Luo Hong opened the car door like a madman and rushed out.

She saw there was still light outside.

Street lights with unstable voltage flickered on and off in the distance, illuminating a small area of ​​the road with weak light.

But it failed to illuminate Luo Hong's face full of fear.

Because around the vehicle stood a circle of strange monsters.

They may be large or small, tall or short.

The only thing they have in common is that they have no color at all and are extremely pure black.

Coupled with the huge number and close location,

This created the illusion of darkness around the vehicle!

Lu Li stood in the center of the monster and looked at Luo Hong with a calm expression.

"S-So many...what innate abilities have you awakened?!"

Luo Hong screamed, clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Secret." Lu Li's lips curled up: "But if you want to know, I might tell you after the transaction is successful."

"trade?"

Luo Hong was startled, and his mind that was on the verge of collapse regained some of its rationality.

yes,

If Lu Li really wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago.

Why do you still say that you want to talk and trade?

Still no longer afraid of the Zhao family behind her!

Thinking of this, Luo Hong suddenly felt confident.

She raised her chin and returned to her usual high-spirited attitude:

"Why do you think you are qualified to negotiate a deal with me?"

Lu Li found it funny. He took half a step back, revealing the three corpses behind him.

It was Luo Hong's three subordinates.

The three of them had wounds all over their bodies, and they did not look like soldiers who died in defeat.

Instead, it looked a bit like half-cut rotten meat that had been thrown into a meat mincer.

Luo Hong's expression changed, and she felt a sudden change in her heart. She scratched her neck and said:

"If you want to take action, do it quickly! But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you kill me, you will offend the entire Zhao family!"

"At that time, you will be hunted by the Zhao family and will never have peace!"

Lu Li shrugged:

"I never said I wanted to kill you from beginning to end. I just wanted to negotiate a deal with you."

Seeing that there was really no killing intent in Lu Li's eyes, Luo Hong's eyes flashed with joy.

It’s done.

The person in front of me is really afraid of the Zhao family!

As long as this is confirmed, she, Luo Hong, can take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations!

"What deal?"

Luo Hong pretended to be indifferent, but in fact he pricked up his ears with concentration.

"Yuanjing."

Lu Li smiled: "86 second-order elemental crystals, 28 third-order elemental crystals."

When Luo Hong heard these two numbers, he was stunned.

Because the number of yuan crystals reported by Lu Li happened to be the entire inventory collected by Zhao Jin in the past three days.

Of course, there are also a large number of first-order elemental crystals.

But Lu Li didn't mention it, and Luo Hong wouldn't be stupid enough to expose himself.

"I can't get that many, at most 30 second-order elemental crystals."

Luo Hong frowned, so it was difficult to do anything.

The inventory of Yuan Jing is a secret, and even few people under Zhao Jin know the specific quantity.

So she assumed that Lu Li was talking to the lion, and she was lucky enough to be fooled by his random nonsense.

But the smile on Lu Li's face remained unchanged.

He did not repeat it, but instead called up the data panel, simply edited a message on it, and sent it.

Ten seconds later, a message from Zhao Jin popped up on Luo Hong’s panel:

"Hong, are you controlled by Lu Li?!"

Luo Hong looked bitter and helplessly replied "yes".

I thought Zhao Jin would care about me to some extent, but unexpectedly he asked directly:

"How does Lu Li know the specific number of yuan crystals in stock? Have you told him?"

Luo Hong felt aggrieved, but still calmly replied:

"How is that possible! I don't know how he knew the specific number. He was probably lucky. Just give him 30 yuan crystals. If there are more, just say there are none."

I thought the problem could be solved here,

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jin's next message directly made Luo Hong feel cold...
