Chapter 201 - Kabbalah, the Tree of life
After crossing the cabin door, Ran Bing walked to the struggling Scarlet Beast.
It was a standard adult scarlet beast!
Its huge body was almost as big as an off-road truck.
Its fluorescent tentacles hung on both sides of its brains. Its huge eyes clearly showed fear.
However, Ran Bing did not care about it.
She crouched down and aimed the revolver in her hand at the wound on its head.
The monster immediately struggled.
However, it was useless. The bullet that had entered its body had already firmly clamped it down.
Now, it was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
The revolver greedily devoured the Scarlet Beast’s energy.
When it was completely sucked, the entire monster turned into a stone statue. With a light touch, it turned into a pile of powder.
A silver cube crystal was visible within the powder.
Ran Bing picked it up. In her hand, the crystal gradually melted and finally turned into a fifty-cent coin!
Ran Bing threw the coin into her bag at her waist.
Cling-clang. The coins inside collided with each other.
Finally, all the coins merged into a five-dollar coin!
Ran Bing picked it up and looked at it under the emergency light in the starship corridor.
She could see that the seemingly ordinary material of the coin was surging with unknown energy.
“What does that mysterious strange man want it for?” Ran Bing thought.
But she knew that she would never have an answer.
At this moment, Ran Bing also felt that the revolver in her hand was sending a warm current through the gun and into her body.
That made Ran Bing’s eyes light up immediately.
They flashed with a green light like a wild beast.
Her ancestors’ night vision, which had been degenerated during evolution, had returned.
Moreover, it had become more sensitive!
Ran Bing looked ahead, deep in the pitch-black bridge.
She saw that in the bridge that had been destroyed by something, there was a corpse that had turned into white bones instead of petrified.
The body was wearing a white coat and seemed to be a scientist on this starship.
So, she picked up the revolver and walked over.
As she walked, she stuffed new bullets into the magazine.
Now, the revolver had six bullets!
That was the result of her killing!
Walking along the long corridor, Ran Bing soon arrived at the cabin door of the bridge.
The cabin door was not locked. With a light push, a few petrified bodies behind the door were turned into powder.
Ran Bing did not care about them.
Instead, she raised the revolver in her hand and said in a low voice, “Shotgun!”
The magazine changed in an instant, and the revolver turned into a long shotgun.
The huge shotgun was pushed into the barrel in an instant.
Ran Bing aimed at the ceiling above her head and pulled the trigger.
Boom!
The shotgun shot out hundreds of pellets.
That was the second form that her Firearm Spirit had evolved into Shotgun.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Raindrops like things fell from the ceiling.
They were spider-like monsters that looked like large ants.
The humans in the floating city called them parasites!
It was a literal meaning.
These things could be found wherever there were scarlet beasts.
There were thousands of them!
They were like parasites on Scarlet Beasts!
But they were much more powerful than the parasites in the Old World!
Their relatively small size, silent movements, and fast movements made them even more annoying than Scarlet Beasts!
Fortunately, these things could even be killed by ordinary guns.
Not to mention, the Firearm Spirit that Ran Bing held was their natural nemesis.
Unfortunately, the Firearm Spirit did not care about these little things and disdained to eat them!
Moreover, they did not have those silver cube crystals.
It seemed that the spiders appeared naturally.
And their hosts, the Scarlet Beasts, were filled with man-made traces!
Ran Bing stepped on the small monsters that had been shattered by the bullet and walked to the center of the bridge.
The sensor lights slowly lit up as she approached.
It also lit up the entire view of the broken bridge.
In front of the bridge’s fairing, dozens of petrified humans in uniforms stood in front of the glass window in fear.
It seemed that there was something outside the window.
The cracks on the special glass wall that was specially designed for space and atmospheric navigation meant that they had indeed seen something terrible here!
Ran Bing walked to the Central Command facility.
There were many controller touchscreens here that had been shut down for an unknown period.
On both sides of these controllers, touchscreens were plastered nameplates: Umbrella!
Obviously, their producer was the ‘Shit Company’ mentioned by the mysterious bookstore owner.
It was related to the collapse of the Old World.
It was even related to the terrifying organization that was closely related to the Scarlet Beasts!
Ran Bing squatted down and looked at the skeleton under the command facility.
There were many dark red bloodstains on its white coat.
However, the nameplate on its chest could vaguely reveal the symbol of the umbrella.
At the same time, Ran Bing also saw his name: David. Professor Alexander!
Ran Bing looked at his hand. Between the bones that had already turned into white bones, there was a rectangular thing.
Ran Bing picked it up and realized that this thing should be a videotape.
After wiping off the dust, clear words appeared on the black frame. These words should have been printed on the metal body using a laser or similar technology.
Ran Bing looked at it and recognized it. “The humans’ plan of completion?”
That was the meaning of the letters on the box.
Ran Bing also discovered that there was a strange pattern carved on the box using a machine.
It was like a giant tree!
“Kabbalah, the Tree of Life!” A murmur suddenly sounded in her ears again.
“The K’n-yanians people got it!”
“No wonder…”
“No wonder what?” Ran Bing asked.
“No wonder they dared to seek their death!” The murmurs were cold and emotionless.
It was rare that it was willing to answer. Ran Bing immediately seized the opportunity to ask, “What is the Kabbalah, the Tree of Life?”
“Everything in the universe has a source…”
“The Kabbalah, the Tree of life is the movement that writes the source of all life!”
“From it, we can see the origin of Life!”
It murmured.
“But…” it chuckled.” Miss Shasha, the guardian of life, is the most gentle and virtuous existence in the universe…”
“The Gentle Miss Shasha will never let any race without permission get their hands on this secret!”
… … ..
It was morning.
Ling Pingan woke up early today.
He walked downstairs and didn’t see the kitten Bastet.
So he laughed. “Little cutie is secretly doing something again upstairs without letting me know?”
“Is there a mouse in the house?” He scratched his head. “It doesn’t look like there is one!”
He walked upstairs until he reached the third floor.
He saw the little kitten Bastet’s small body, with her back to him, grimacing at the little sapling in the plastic basin at the foot of the wall.
It growled softly as if it was threatening the little sapling.
“Little cutie…” Ling Pingan walked over, picked up the little guy, and stroked her head, asking, “Why are you making things difficult for the little peach tree again?”
Meow!
The little guy cried out with a wronged expression as if the little sapling had done something outrageous!
“Little Darling, why are you arguing with it?” Ling Pingan was a little speechless.
A kitten would actually argue with a peach tree sapling that was less than an inch tall!
No one would believe this!
Meow!
The little kitten felt wronged. Her cute little head showed helplessness.
It seemed to be saying, “It is putting on an act, master, don’t believe it!”
Looking at the little guy’s appearance, Ling Pingan couldn’t help but pat her head and said, “Little Darling, don’t be sad. I will help you teach this disobedient little sapling a lesson!”
Thus, he squatted down and gently flicked the leaf of the sapling.
Of course, he only flicked it very carefully.
But the little sapling was too tender.
He only flicked it, and a leaf fell.
Ling Pingan was shocked and quickly stopped the harmful behavior.
Then, he carefully observed the little peach tree and found that only one leaf had fallen.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
However, the little kitten Bastet was very satisfied. It stuck out its pink tongue and licked the back of Ling Pingan’s hand, cheering for his master’s justice act!
Ling Pingan stroked the Little fella’s head. He thought for a moment and felt that it was time to fertilize the sapling.
So he stood up and placed the little kitten behind him. Then, he pulled down the zip on his pants and peed on it.
As everyone knew, there was a lot of urine in the morning.
Therefore, the sizzling sound of water lasted for a full minute!
However, the strange thing was that the soil in the plastic basin did not overflow with urine.
It looked like it was only slightly moist.
But Ling Pingan didn’t think too much about it.
He moved the plastic basin to the wall, then pulled up the zipper on his pants, carried the kitten Bastet, and walked downstairs.
“The sapling won’t drown in my urine, right?” He said. “Just in case, I’ll come up at noon to take a look!”
That was the fruit tree that he was going to eat peaches in the future after all!
He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes!
But what he didn’t know was that when he walked down the stairs, the shadow of the sapling was reflected in the plastic basin behind him under the Sun.
Ten tender little circles faintly surrounded the sapling.
Four small circular objects hung under the leaves of the shadow of the tree.
The golden color was shining in the shadows!
He had reached the second stage of development!
Around the small sapling, many shadowy voices were looking at him with envy and hatred.
Their eyes were clearly saying, “Master, please whip me!”
If a beating could be exchanged for such a gift!
Everyone would step forward one after another. Even if they had to die, they would gladly suffer it!
… … … ..
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Situ He opened his eyes and said, “Please come in!”
Xia Ping walked in with a stack of documents.
“General…” he placed the documents in front of Situ He and said, “There’s something I don’t know if I should say…”
“Hmm?” Situ He raised his head and looked at him.
“The municipal department has recently inspected the sewer and sewage system near the target…”
“Of course, we followed the rules and inspected the homestead far away from the target!”
“The results of the inspection are a little…”
Xia Ping hesitated for a moment and did not know what to say.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “It’s a little unexpected…”
“The sewage system of the target building did not discharge sewage or anything else…”
Situ He raised his head and looked at Xia Ping.
Obviously, the discovery was worth thinking about!
Because that might reveal the secret!
“The experts have guessed…” Xia Ping looked at Situ He carefully. “Perhaps the target has established an ecosystem…”
“Maybe there are some things that rely on him to survive…”
Situ He frowned tightly.
His intuition told him that this might be the truth, but his rationality told him not to study about that too much!
Someone would die!
Situ He immediately said to Xia Ping, “Don’t go deeper into this matter!”
“All documents, except for a copy each were to be sent back to the imperial capital, the rest will be destroyed!”
“Do a memory wipe on relevant personnel!”
“Yes!” Xia Ping saluted and accepted the order!
… … … … ..
The Firearm Spirit was transformed from a shotgun to a revolver.
Ran Bing took it and kept the videotape on her body.
When she returned to the floating city, she might be able to find a device that could play it!
Holding the revolver, Ran Bing passed through another corridor on the bridge and gradually entered the interior of the huge starship.
As she moved forward, the sensor lights in the interior of the starship, which seemed to have a backup of the remaining energy, lit up one by one.
It also illuminated the interior of the huge starship.
As Ran Bing moved forward, the number of scarlet beasts gradually increased.
However, there were no high-level scarlet beasts in this starship.
Most of them were adults or young.
Therefore, they did not pose any threat to Ran Bing!
Instead, they were killed one by one by Ran Bing’s revolver!
At the most dangerous time, Ran Bing had used up all the bullets in her magazine!
But that was all!
The Scarlet Beasts were too weak in front of Ran Bing and her Firearm Spirit!
One-shot, one kill, there were no exceptions!
Moreover, as the killing progressed, Ran Bing realized that both she and the revolver were getting stronger!
Finally, when Ran Bing reached the bottom of the starship, in front of the warehouse’s door.
There were already dozens of scarlet beasts that had fallen under the muzzle of her revolver!
They provided Ran Bing with more than 20 yuan of income.
It also allowed the revolver to evolve into a third form!
It became a rifle that looked somewhat ancient!
On the body of the gun, the shadow that was the same as Ran Bing became more and more solid.
That meant that if it continued to eat, sooner or later, it would turn from a shadow in the barrel of the gun into a real body!
At that time, even a monarch-level scarlet beast could be paralyzed with a single shot!
After dealing with the last scarlet beast that was in front of Ran Bing and the warehouse, Ran Bing carried the Firearm Spirit that had already transformed into a rifle and walked forward.
She gently pushed open the door of the warehouse.
Then, she saw the goods that were loaded in this huge warehouse!
It was not the materials, machinery, medicine, food, weapons that she imagined…
But…
One after another, huge crystal jars.
In the jars were the corpses of monsters that had long died!
They were somewhat similar to the Scarlet Beast but different!
“The Netherworld Beast!” The whispers in her ears were soft.
“The Netherworld Beast!” Ran Bing jumped down with her rifle and landed among these huge crystal jars.
Each of these jars had the symbol of a protective umbrella!
