233: Chapter 233 No, you guys are going to tear it down too?!

As the air raid siren echoed, the true Inner World descended.

This was no longer an abandoned modern city, but an abyssal purgatory composed purely of flesh and despair!

In the sky, the once thick clouds had transformed into a viscous sea of blood.

Thick, dark red tentacles, covered in barbs and suction cups, danced and entangled crazily in the clouds.

Everywhere the eye could see, all the building walls had turned into writhing, crimson masses of flesh.

Thick blood vessels, like creeping vines, wrapped around the skyscrapers, pulsing with a thumping sound as if they were breathing.

The streets were covered in a thick layer of viscous blood plasma.

Some blood-monster creatures, stripped of their skin and left with only raw, crimson muscle tissue, were crawling and writhing in agony within the pools of blood.

Piercing wails and desperate screams echoed incessantly over the entire city, like demonic sounds drilling into the brain.

It was a hellish tableau capable of driving anyone insane.

"Wuu wuu... so scary..." Mia the rabbit-girl trembled in fear.

She covered her long, furry ears with her hands, crouched on the ground, curled into a ball, with tears welling up in her eyes.

It wasn't just Mia.

Even the Red Wolf Army, accustomed to great storms, fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

Everyone felt their SAN values plummeting, their spirits suffering tons of critical damage.

"Damn... this is too disgusting!"

"Good heavens, I'd rather go hand-to-hand with ten thousand zombies than step into this place filled with flesh!"

"Fuck! This scene is too SAN-draining; my eyes have been severely polluted!"

In the Red Wolf Guild communication channel, members gasped, their tones filled with irrepressible horror.

Just as this atmosphere of despair and fear was about to spread through the army, the door of an armored vehicle from the Logistics Team was suddenly pushed open.

Shougong Geng jumped down, carrying a toolbox filled with colorful test tubes, his face full of excitement.

He ignored the strange gazes around him and strode up to a writhing wall of flesh.

From his box, he pulled out a metal syringe as thick as an arm, equipped with precision instruments.

"Pfft!" He jabbed it into the thick, cyan blood vessel of the wall of flesh.

"Glug glug..." Dark red blood was slowly drawn out through the syringe and sent into the instrument.

Shougong Geng stared at the electronic screen on the instrument.

"Beep, beep, beep!" A rapid electronic sound rang out.

[Analysis complete!]

[Severely mutated polluted blood!]

[Component warning: Contains lethal strong acid! Possesses terrifying corrosiveness! Contains potent toxins! Absolutely inedible!]

[Warning, warning! Highly dangerous!]

Looking at the series of crimson warning characters on the screen, Shougong Geng was not afraid; instead, he rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing with fanatical curiosity.

"Strong acid?"

"Corrosiveness?"

Shougong Geng slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing.

"What's hard about that!"

"Since it's an acidic substance, I'll just neutralize it with a strong base and then filter out the toxins, won't that work?"

He did it right away!

Shougong Geng gathered materials on the spot, hauling a pile of salt, strong alkaline solution, activated carbon packs, several funnels, and rusty tin buckets from the logistics vehicle.

His hands moved so fast they were a blur as he frantically assembled the pile of scrap metal.

Just over ten minutes later, a highly abstract-looking technological invention, which was even leaking air, was born.

Shougong Geng carefully carried this "piece of junk" in front of a middle-aged man.

"Old Liu! Quick, use your skill to upgrade this thing!"

Old Liu didn't waste words; he clapped his hands, and a white light of reorganization instantly enveloped the strange machine.

The next second, a flash of golden light passed, and the item's attribute panel appeared before them.

[Item Name: Blood Dialysis Machine]

[Item Effect: Can rapidly absorb and purify acidic polluted blood for solid refining.]

[Conversion Ratio: For every 10 liters of purified blood consumed, 1 unit of blood crystal can be refined!]

When they saw the three big characters "blood crystal" on the panel, Shougong Geng and Old Liu's eyes lit up like two-kilowatt lightbulbs!

Shougong Geng was trembling with excitement, his fingers frantically tapping on the guild panel as he sent a private video call directly to Lu Yuan.

"Boss! Boss!"

"Something big happened! We seem to have created an incredible, heaven-defying artifact!"

Inside the Red Wolf Tank, Lu Yuan looked at the equipment attribute image sent by Shougong Geng.

He was stunned for two seconds, then silently gave a big thumbs up, unable to help but gasp.

blood crystal!

That was the necessary material for learning [Ura Charge]!

Lu Yuan slowly turned his head.

Through the electronic screen, he looked again at the city forged of flesh outside the vehicle.

He looked at those writhing walls of flesh, the thick blood vessels, and the blood-monster creatures covering the mountains and plains outside.

At this moment, the horror in Lu Yuan's eyes from the SAN-drain vanished without a trace.

Replacing it was the fanaticism and kindness of an old farmer looking at a wheat field during the autumn harvest.

Where the hell is this an Avici Hell?!

This is clearly a top-tier all-you-can-eat buffet gift package bestowed by the heavens, with huge portions and plenty to go around!

Lu Yuan's mouth curled into a dark, cold smile, and he casually threw the screenshot of the Blood Dialysis Machine's attributes into the main guild channel.

The channel was quiet for a moment.

Immediately after, it welcomed an unprecedented explosion of activity.

Lin Zihao: ???

Zhao Meng: ???

Wang Jian: ???

Rows of neat question marks flooded the screen simultaneously.

"Damn! 10 liters of blood can get one blood crystal?!"

"Good heavens!"

"Look at the meat wall outside, how many tons of blood can we extract from this?!"

"Brothers! I was about to vomit from disgust, but you're telling me this whole city is just experience and materials?!"

"What is there to be afraid of now?!"

"Those things crawling on the ground aren't blood monsters, they're walking ATMs!"

Panic? Despair? Non-existent!

Stimulated by the words "infinite blood crystal," the fear in the hearts of the 300,000 Red Wolf Army troops was instantly swept away.

Replacing it was endless greed.

...

Inside a secret base beneath the city, the Black-robed Man sat before a screen.

He held a glass of blood-red wine, preparing to enjoy the beautiful scene of these humans being scared shitless and having mental breakdowns by the Inner World.

But the next second, "Pfft—!" The Black-robed Man sprayed a mouthful of red wine all over the screen.

He stared at the surveillance footage, dumbfounded.

He saw the 300,000-strong Red Wolf Army completely ignoring the clawing and gnashing flesh monsters.

They were just swaggering around, setting up camp on the plaza of flesh!

Countless big men rushed out of their combat vehicles with excited faces.

One after another, they pulled out glass syringes thicker than thighs, glass containers, and several strangely shaped water pumps!

Several men skillfully inserted the tubes into the blood vessels of the meat wall and turned on the dialysis machines.

"Chug chug chug chug chug—" Accompanied by the roar of the dialysis machines, large amounts of black blood were frantically extracted.

The Black-robed Man gripped the surveillance console with both hands, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He let out a desperate roar at the top of his lungs.

"No..."

"What the hell do you bandits want?!"

"It's one thing that you tore down my city outside!"

"But how come even after entering the Inner World, you're still fucking trying to draw my blood?!"
