Symbiote Ninth

Link subconsciously let Caesar stand behind him, and fired another shot. The impact force made it take a step back, but it was only a step, and it only paused for a moment. cry.

Before Link fired the third shot, Caesar rushed out. He took out a knife from nowhere, and slashed at the wolf without hesitation!

There was a very clear sound of bones being cut. Caesar raised his knife and fell. Half of the wolf's head was cut off, but it was still alive. It opened its mouth and bit his arm.

Caesar made a clean cut without fear or panic, and even the incision and the previous cut formed a neat plane. It was the first time Link saw Caesar like this, and he finally understood that symbionts and humans are different after all. Yes, only at this time will they show their truest appearance.

Caesar pulled the wolf's head off his arm and threw it on the ground. He knelt down to examine the corpse, and Link came over.

Both noticed the problem—the wolf seemed to have been dead for a long time.

There was a very long wound on its stomach with irregular edges, as if it had been torn apart by some large animal. The wound did not heal, but turned into a deep depression, the internal organs inside were exposed, and the edge had been Dried, no animal would have survived such an injury, and there was no explanation other than that it had been dead for a long time.

Link collected the evidence silently. He knew that something very, very wrong had happened, and the problem could be solved by killing the wolf.

"How did it become like this?" Caesar stretched out a slender finger to caress the wolf's wound, "Is it possible to be resurrected after death?"

"It might be some kind of virus." Link thought calmly, "After the animal died, it was controlled by the virus, so the one I shot just now didn't work. You have to cut off the spine like you."

He stood up and issued a warning on the public channel of the communicator, advising people in the other car not to get out of the car. After a while, Piggy Bank replied to him: "We have already got out of the car."

"Be vigilant." Link briefly instructed.

Continue to move forward in the original direction. Caesar and Link have never encountered this strange animal again, but the weather is getting worse and worse, and the signal of the detector is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Link thinks that there should be some influence nearby. the magnetic field.

On the other side, Chenghe brought Freesia nothing to gain, so Pigman and another teammate walked not far away, looking over here from time to time.

When he came near a big rock, the prosthetic eye suddenly began to rotate, and the two thin blue lines on it kept flashing. He reluctantly raised his voice, "800 meters in the direction of eleven o'clock."

Chenghe can be considered to be quite clear about public and private, knowing that there is no need to waste time talking nonsense with him at such a time, he took Xiao Canglan to the direction he said without saying a word, Pigman and another teammate followed, walked a few steps, Piggy Man suddenly said, "What's the use of bringing him here?"

He was referring to Freesia, and everyone knew that.

Chenghe's face was full of hostility, he didn't speak, and continued to move forward. The wind and snow hit his face like a knife. He looked at Freesia worriedly, and the other party frowned slightly and looked into the distance. Cheng He asked, "What's wrong?"

No need for Freesia to answer, everyone saw it. A terrifyingly big bear came out from a mountain not far away, and some of its intestines flowed out and dragged on the ground. When it saw someone, it stopped, raised its head and barked. With a sound, a paw slapped away the half-person-high boulder beside him.

Freesia rushed out decisively, jumped onto a bare tree beside her in an instant, picked up the gun she was carrying behind her backhand, aimed at the bear's head and pulled the trigger!

With a bang, the snow on the col was shaken off, half of the bear's head was almost blown off, it paused on the spot, and Freesia remembered Link's warning on the public channel just now, and hung the gun on the branch Going up, he jumped straight down, with a vague arc in the air, he jumped onto the bear's head, stepping on the blurred pile of flesh and blood.

Piggy Man was a little surprised, he seemed to feel ashamed, and didn't want to just stand and watch the excitement, so he suddenly pulled out his gun and shot the bear twice in the stomach.

"...Don't shoot!" Chenghe shouted, but it was too late. The bear was stimulated and began to struggle wildly, making a terrifying cry. Freesia couldn't stand still and was about to fall .

He panted for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched his hand behind his back, and with a slight knock, a thin piece of iron slipped out along the groove on his back, unfolded, and it was a long long sword, which stood in the wind and snow. There was an inconspicuous gleam.

Without a second of hesitation, Freesia jumped up on the spot, holding the knife in both hands as she fell, looking for an opportunity to strike horizontally!

There was a second of silence, Freesia's expression was calm and indifferent, he knew he had succeeded, and sure enough, the bear's spine was completely severed by him, but it seemed unwilling to die like this, it made a final struggle, Freesia didn't have time to dodge, she was slapped down by his paw, and hit the boulder hard with a bang.

Xiong fell down and didn't move at all, Cheng He ran to Xiao Canglan's side, frowned and helped him up.

"You—are you all right?"

"It's okay." Freesia looked up at the sky, "My hardware is not that fragile."

Cheng He helped him stand up, and he pointed back at the tree and said, "My gun."

"I'll get it for you."

"Can you climb up?" Freesia asked.

"...Of course I can climb up! Am I that useless?" Cheng He said angrily.

I have to admit that Chenghe's physical fitness is very good among human beings. He climbed up the tree easily, jumped down with Freesia's gun on his shoulders, and handed the gun to Freesia. He asked worriedly: "Are you OK?"

Freesia said, "It's really fine."

As he walked, he rubbed his shoes on the snow, and the messy dirt was left on the snow.

Although Piggy had known for a long time that the symbiote was used to do this, it was the first time he saw this scene with his own eyes. The expression of Freesia slashing out with a knife just now has been lingering in his mind. Didn't that voice dare to be the trash he insulted last night?

The four of them gathered around the fallen bear tacitly. No one spoke, but Piggy Man was the first to break the silence, "It needs to be reported."

"Listen to the captain." Cheng He said while scanning the corpse in front of him, "Don't act without authorization."

The scan results are saved in the computer, and they can be restored after returning home. Cheng He has a vague premonition, but he doesn't know what impact this matter will have in the end.

After reporting the situation on the public channel, Link asked Chenghe and his party to continue walking according to their goal, and the rest went to find them. After a while, Chenghe's detector rang, a very obvious signal , there must be an oil field nearby.

The task has made preliminary progress, and everyone gathered together to exchange information.Link buried the signal transmitter in the permafrost as a mark, and decided to find a way to drive the car after returning to the car for lunch, and bring some samples back as much as possible.

The oil field is about 1000 meters deep underground, light oil, this is the conclusion drawn by the detector, which is similar to the data given by the piggy bank.

The group returned to the parking place. The meal was tasteless, and everyone was wondering what it was just now.Why did those two animals become like that?Obviously dead and still able to move, is it possible that a virus broke out like Link said?How fast is the virus spreading, what medium is it spreading through, and will it infect humans?If it is not contagious to humans, will it be contagious to animals in residential areas?Humans don't have the agility and strength of symbiotes, cutting off their spines with a single knife.

Even if it wasn't a bear, but just a mad dog, it would definitely cause quite a panic.

Link quickly finished his meal. He asked Chenghe to pass the scanned information to him, and he would report it to Dutan. Chenghe nodded, passed the information to him, and then got up and left.

"Why go?"

"Pee." Cheng He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Freesia, "You come too."

Link and Caesar stared at Chenghe together.

Cheng He righteously said: "Let him give me a break."

"Just take a pee, no wild beasts will come and attack you." Caesar played with a bag of air-dried beef, and said eccentrically, "Or are you afraid of exposing your weakness?"

"...None of your business?" Cheng He snatched his beef jerky and threw it to Link, "This is for food, don't play around."

Link threw the beef jerky back to Caesar, still looking at Chenghe, "Are you afraid of exposing your weakness?"

"Damn——" Cheng He gripped Freesia's wrist angrily, "It's all messed up, I'm in a hurry to pee, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

After listening to the whole process, Freesia asked him with a puzzled face, "What weakness did you expose?"

"Shut up!" Cheng He didn't give him a good face, "Hurry up and go, what are you asking?"
