The Scavengers

Before 6:19 pm on June [-]

When Fang Zhenggang heard the report from his subordinates, he couldn't help but change his face even if he watched and heard a lot about various criminal cases.

"Is anyone else joining?"

"Yes. Head, do these people's brains..."

"It seems that a psychiatrist should be added to the support staff." Fang Zhenggang and Chen Bing looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Are we going to stop it?"

"Observe first, and if necessary, you are allowed to use a tranquilizer gun."

"Yes."

A silver plane flew over the quarantine zone without anyone noticing.

There is an airport [-] kilometers south of here, and as a result, planes often fly over this area at low altitudes, and the residents nearby are used to seeing it.

"Ding! You still have 55 minutes." The system reminded Xiao Mo.

It doesn't need to remind, just like the first mission, but that time it was to use punishment to let the new scavengers have a deep understanding and establish their own authority by the way.If the second task is still not reminded, and finally the scavenger task fails and is obliterated, it violates the fundamental rules of the system, and it will never let this kind of error loophole happen as it obeys the system rules the most.

Xiao Mo grabbed the steering wheel tightly.

He didn't want to kill the mother of the Gluttonous Beast. That person had a name. Her name was Li Xiaoshuang, and she was a person.Even if she caused chaos, it didn't mean he could kill her at will.

But now...

"These are all due to the influence of the mother of gluttonous beasts?" He confirmed again.

"Although the carbon-based synthetic metal virus makes them thirsty for some necessary alloy molecules, it does not make people lose their minds."

After listening to the system's answer, Xiao Mo was silent for two seconds, and said, "I'm going to do the task."

The man's voice was normal, as calm as if he was saying "I'm going to buy a braised vegetable" with his family.

But the child and Ding Qiao looked at him together.

Ding Qiao didn't understand what Xiao Mo was talking about, but the child felt that this man with the benevolence of a woman had finally made up his mind.Even though he was trying his best to get close to the mission goal, he could still see three points of hesitation.

Such an indecisive and nosy person is not suitable for the current rules of the game.The child curled his lips and gave Xiao Mo a nameplate that he would not survive long in troubled times, so would he continue to follow this person?

"Xiaohong, sit down and don't look forward."

Xiao Mo reversed the car, he felt that the scene in front of him was not suitable for children to watch, and there were too many hungry ghosts gathered in front of the Lianbu Le Supermarket. This place is now an explosives depot, once it explodes, no one can escape.

Xue Lihong lay on the back of the chair without moving.

"Brother Xiao, do you think the police can control this madness?" Ding Qiao asked melancholy.

"Impossible." Xiao Mo wanted to forcibly cross the road and turn right to his shop. After sending the child into the shop, he went to the opposite park to find Li Xiaoshuang.

Ding Qiao didn't know his plan, and was still asking: "Then what should I do?"

Xiao Mo walked forward slowly, staring at the front and said: "The government will definitely send support. I remember that there is an air force training camp nearby. Maybe some people will be transferred from there first."

"Impossible." Ding Qiao immediately vetoed Xiao Mo's idea, "It's not easy to train the air force. Generally, they are not allowed to take part in land rescue operations. In this case, only conscripts from the army will be sent here. I remember that the nearest army base here is A hundred miles away, it should be quick to come here."

"You go to the task, Ding Qiao and I will wait for you in the car." The child said suddenly.

"Uh, yes, Brother Xiao, if you have anything to do, go and do it first. I'll help you look after the car and children. Don't worry, no one will touch them." Ding Qiao also promised.

Xiao Mo stopped the car and turned off the engine. The roads are now seriously congested, and he really has no way to drive to his destination.

The child leaned close to Xiao Mo's ear and whispered to him: "Let me see how much energy the electric shock rod still has."

Xiao Mo took out the electric baton and gave it to him.

The child checked it, adjusted the power valve to the maximum, and returned it to Xiao Mo, telling him: "There is not much energy in it, it is only enough for you to release it twice, don't use it indiscriminately."

Xiao Mo nodded and put away the electric prod.

Ding Qiao saw one big and one small whispering, and didn't have the nerve to lean over to listen.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Mo appeared in the park alone.

"Can you provide the distance of the mission target?" Xiao Mo asked the system tentatively in his mind.

"Okay. Now you are 33 meters away from the target."

Xiao Momao walked along the shade of the tree with his back, and did not rush over rashly.

"25 meters, 19 meters..."

"Meow!" A shrill meow suddenly came to my ears.

In a clump of weeds not far from Xiao Mo, five or six wild cats were fighting around his target.

When Xiao Mo heard the cat meowing, it was the time when the wild cats were fighting Li Xiaoshuang the most.

The wild cat pounced ferociously, and Li Xiaoshuang was not weak, and refused to take a step back even after several bloodstains were scratched on her face.

"Nia——! Nia——!" The piercing screams sounded like a child crying at night one after another.

Xiao Mo was so focused on guarding against the target that he would not be discovered by the other party, but he didn't pay attention to the road for a moment, and when he didn't pay attention, he tripped over a tree root protruding from the ground by the side of the road.

In order to stabilize his body, Xiao Mo subconsciously grabbed a small brown tree next to him that was as tall as his body.

Unexpectedly, the vines wrapped around the little tree's body, those vines seem inconspicuous, but there are sharp barbs on the burls.

As soon as he grabbed it, a bloody wound appeared on the palm of his hand.

Xiao Mo gasped in pain, but in order to stabilize his body, he used quite a lot of strength to grab and support, causing the wound to be cut extremely deep.

Are there any vines like this that can hurt people in this park?Still planted on the side of the road?The man is puzzled.

As soon as the smell of blood came out, Xiao Mo immediately pressed the wound with his hands, but it was still too late.

Li Xiaoshuang seemed to smell it, and looked up to this side.

Xiao Mo was nervous, afraid that she would run away again, regardless of the bleeding from the wound, he immediately took out the electric shock baton and rushed out.

He is not afraid of fighting. How could he be afraid of fighting when he has two brothers in his family?But he was afraid of killing people, but now the situation forced him to take action. To put it bluntly, it was for righteousness, but he knew that the most fundamental reason was that he didn't want to die, and it was so meaningless to die.

When Li Xiaoshuang saw him, he let out a threatening cry, his appearance and expression didn't look like a human being.

"Hey! Li Xiaoshuang, I am... wait! I have something to tell you!"

Seeing that Li Xiaoshuang was slacking off, the wild cats attacked her more violently, as if they wanted to drive her away by force.

A trace of hesitation flowed across Li Xiaoshuang's face, but she soon made up her mind, and instead of running away again, she chose to kill Xiao Mo.There was something important to her here, and she couldn't just leave.

But she probably knew the power of the electric baton in Xiao Mo's hand, so she didn't attack from the front, but jumped to Xiao Mo's back, and went to bite his neck instead.

"Fuck!" Fortunately, Xiao Mo is not the kind of man who sits in the office every day and does not work hard, and his reaction is not too slow. A donkey rolled to avoid Li Xiaoshuang's first pounce, and got up while turning around. At the same time, he turned on the switch of the electric shock prod, raised his hand and stabbed Li Xiaoshuang in the abdomen who was rushing over again.

Li Xiaoshuang couldn't dodge in time, was shocked, and immediately let out a piercing scream, grabbed a wild cat that was biting her, and threw it at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo waved his hand to open the wild cat, but felt a pain in his wrist, Li Xiaoshuang rushed over and bit his right hand.

The electric rod fell to the ground.

Xiao Mo squeezed his injured left hand and punched Li Xiaoshuang's temple.He wanted to communicate with Li Xiaoshuang in a civilized manner, but the other party refused to give him this opportunity at all.

Li Xiaoshuang jumped away.

Xiao Mo quickly bent over to pick up the electric baton, Li Xiaoshuang took the opportunity to pounce on his back, and opened his mouth to bite his neck again.

When his neck was bitten, Xiao Mo panicked. He couldn't deny that he had underestimated Li Xiaoshuang from the very beginning. Even though he knew she was the mother of gluttonous beasts, he still felt that she was just a woman, and he didn't try his best from the beginning. Go, even holding the idea of ​​​​catching alive.

This time the neck was bitten, out of survival instinct, Xiao Mo didn't show mercy, and used his elbow to hit Li Xiaoshuang's face with his backhand.

Li Xiaoshuang was hit hard on the face, screamed and rolled off Xiao Mo's back.

Xiao Mo also covered his neck and let out a muffled cry. Li Xiaoshuang bit off a piece of flesh on his neck, and blood gushed out from his fingertips.

Xiao Mo endured the pain, covered his neck with one hand, and grabbed the electric baton again with the other. Just turning over, he saw Li Xiaoshuang rushing towards him from mid-air like a wild dog.

There is one last chance of electric shock, he can't waste it.

At the critical moment, Xiao Mo didn't move, and hid the electric baton by his side until Li Xiaoshuang jumped on top of him, pressed him down, and lowered his head to bite his neck again, then he raised his hand violently and stabbed the electric baton at Li Xiaoshuang. waist side.

"Tch!" A strong electric current hit Li Xiaoshuang's body from his waist.

Xiao Mo, who was crushed by Li Xiaoshuang, did not escape the electric shock.

There was a violent convulsion, Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, thinking that he was about to be electrocuted to death.

"Ding, the mission target has been recovered successfully. Scavengers Xiao Mo will be rewarded, and the reward content..." The cold and rigid voice paused, "The system is re-judging based on the scavengers' physical condition, please wait a moment."

At the same time as the sound of the system sounded, Xiao Mo felt that there seemed to be something cold in his body flowing through his body along with his blood.What about the body?

This is recycled?He succeeded?Xiao Mo didn't know if it was the sequelae of the electric shock, but he felt confused.

It took him a while to realize, he, he just killed someone?It's good to save this life after completing the mission, but he also really became a murderer!

In fact, he has no sense of reality until now. He was in a coma for three days. To him, a lot of things happened in just two days. The existence and sound of the system made him think that he had serious hallucinations after being infected. Listen and imagine.

Asking you to recycle something and wipe your system if you can't complete the task, does this sound a lot like some murderers who killed the whole family and said that they heard a voice and asked themselves to do it?

No matter how real the system feels to Xiao Mo, as an adult who has received orthodox education for many years, has mature three views, and is very healthy physically and mentally, he will not immediately perform the task, even if it will threaten his life.He is not a second-stage teenager who has been abused by novels and movies, ready to be an extraordinary person at any time.

In the past few days, he has been shouting in his mind to calm himself down and solve the difficulties in front of him one by one, especially after seeing other people who are nervous or crazy or frightened, he is even more unwilling to think about it. become one of them.

Now many people are shouting that the end of the world is coming, but the police and the government are obviously still maintaining order. He called his family in the afternoon, and everything in the city is fine.Under such circumstances, how can he believe that the end times have really come?

"Where is she? Where did you take her? Is she dead?" Xiao Mo asked three questions in succession.

"The mission target is dead, and its body carrying the pathogen is garbage, which is recycled and turned into useful energy."

……already dead!

He didn't really want to kill Li Xiaoshuang. The situation was too chaotic just now. Before he did it, he was lucky. Maybe recycling wasn't killing, but the facts told him that the meaning of recycling was so cruel!

Xiao Mo's hands began to tremble, "What is useful energy?"

"It's not related to the task, so I can't answer it."

Both physically and mentally exhausted, Xiao Mo lay on the ground not wanting to move.

"Meow!" A shrill cat meow came from next to my ear, which was extremely annoying.

The wild cat probably didn't like him and wanted to drive him away.

Xiao Mo, who was not very fond of cats and dogs since he was a child, smiled wryly, and sighed long to the sky.It is said that cats and dogs are the most sensitive among animals, so why would he, who is hated by cats and dogs, be hated and... feared by these cuties?
