The Scavengers

Xiao Mo asked: "Is it because their stomachs are so big that they are about to lay eggs? What about the male worms?"

"Maybe it was eaten by it?" Xue Lihong continued to shine the flashlight inside to see if there were any leftovers. "There are many bugs in the insect world like this. In order to have enough nutrition for the next generation, the female insects will devour the male insects after mating." .”

Xiao Mo shook his head, "Are those or that breeders crazy? They don't think about the consequences of these bugs being raised?"

Xue Lihong replied: "Everyone has their own reasons, maybe they are also forced."

"So they may be obliterated if they don't complete the task?" Xiao Mo suddenly realized.

"No matter what, according to the tasks previously released by the system, these female insects will start laying eggs after [-]:[-] noon tomorrow. Just like what you told the patrolman, just imagine, the whole city What does it look like when it's full of these metal-eating bugs?"

The young man didn't seem to know how horrible he said. After checking that there were no other bugs in the instrument, he began to reinstall the shell of the instrument, trying to prevent people from discovering that the instrument had been tampered with.

Xiao Mo's face became extremely ugly, "Could it be that all this is a conspiracy against our country by a certain country? Or some racist lunatics who want to exterminate other races?" Or are they aliens?

Xue Lihong shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

Seeing the young man moving the instrument, Xiao Mo hurried forward to help. The instrument with the metal casing was very heavy at first glance.

Seeing him coming to help, Xue Lihong let go of her hand for some unknown reason.

Xiao Mo didn't care either, he clamped the bug with a clip in one hand, pushed it with all his strength with the other hand... Huh?Push it again!

The instrument does not move at all.

Xiao Mo couldn't believe it, he handed the clip to the young man, and exerted strength with both hands, but he still didn't push the instrument at all.

"I obviously moved it out when I saw you easily..." Xiao Mo fell silent when he saw the young man's expression.

Xue Lihong returned the clip to him, and patted him on the shoulder, "It seems that strength is not within the scope of your mutation. It's okay, Lao Xiao, it's not shameful for a man to have less strength."

Xiao Mo, "I'm not weak, but your strength is too inhuman!" He obviously looked so thin.

"Well, I've practiced martial arts for thousands of years, so it's normal for me to be stronger than you."

"... Can your inner strength and mind be passed on to the outside world?"

"No." The young man cut off the man's extravagant hope.

Xiao Mo made a sad expression, took out the glass bottle and tried to put the bugs in it, but found that it couldn't go in.

"It's full, let's kill them here, now we know that these bugs are not afraid of knives, axes, or flooding, so let's try..."

Xue Lihong suddenly raised her hand and looked towards the door.

Xiao Mo fell silent.He also heard footsteps, and there seemed to be someone shouting and cursing.

"Director Qian, this is an order from the state!" Outside the door, an angry shout full of bureaucracy sounded.

Then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, as if a group of people surrounded some people.

"Order? The order is to use my son as a guinea pig? I'll go to your mother's order!" A middle-aged man's voice cursed even more angrily.

"I, Qian Kairui, are here today. If you want to take my son away, you have to step over my corpse!"

"Director Qian!" A woman's voice sounded.

"Director Qian, are you threatening me?" The young male voice at the beginning rebuked with obviously suppressed anger.

"I'm just threatening you, what's wrong with you?"

"Team Zhang! Go and bring Qian Yunkai." The young male voice ordered.

"None of you are allowed to leave here!" The middle-aged man shouted frantically.

"Old Qian, calm down!" The female voice raised her voice, "We are still verifying whether you are the commissioner sent by the National Institute of Bioengineering Technology. Before we get the verification result, no matter who you are, you cannot Take away any patient. Now, I ask you to let Wang Cheng go!"

Xue Lihong walked to the door and gently locked the door.

Xiao Mo stuffed the worms into the bottle, pressed the bottle cap with his hands, walked lightly, and walked to the door.

"Brook, when did you become a researcher at my country's National Institute of Bioengineering Technology?" A mocking voice sounded slightly familiar to Xiao Mo from outside.

"Clouds open!" Several voices shouted at the same time.

"Director Cai, Dad." The man named Yun Kai seemed to be greeting the two of them.

The more Xiao Mo heard the voice, the more he felt that he had heard it, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

"Yunkai, why are you here? Didn't I have someone notify you not to come over?" The middle-aged man shouted angrily and surprised.

"Old Qian, I let..."

"Cai Jinhua!" The roar of the middle-aged man was full of betrayal and anger.

"Old Qian, listen to my explanation, it is not an option to let Yunkai leave and not come forward, if they are really a country..."

"Enough! We clearly agreed at the beginning that my son will participate in the research on this epidemic, but he will not leave the city. It will only be carried out in the disease center of the city, and he will only provide part of the samples on a regular basis. The research of their group He is also in charge, why has everything changed now?" Old Qian shouted angrily.

"Old Qian, I didn't say I would give away your son as a guinea pig! Who do you think I am, Cai Jinhua? Can you calm down?" Cai Jinhua was also angry.

"Dad, Director Cai is right. You should calm down. Escape is not the solution. Let us clarify the situation first."

"There may be a delay outside, let's deal with these bugs first." Xiao Mo, who was a little uneasy, lowered his voice.

Xue Lihong took out the recharged electric shock rod, "Try this."

The power of the electric shock is indeed mighty, Xiao Mo adjusted the energy valve to the maximum, inserted it directly into the glass bottle, a few strands of lightning flashed, and the worms in the bottle were so full that there was no room for struggle, they were all shocked by the electric shock. die.

"Finally killed."

Xiao Mo poured out the dead bugs from the bottle, and as soon as he got them, a system reminder sounded in his head: "One-third of the mission objective has been recovered, and there are still sixteen bugs left. Scavengers, please continue to work hard."

The insect corpses all disappeared.

Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo nodded, indicating that the recovery was successful.

Outside.

"You are Qian Yunkai. Hello, I am the special commissioner sent by the National Institute of Bioengineering Science and Technology. My surname is Bao, Bao Yuezhi. You may not have heard my name, but you should know my father's name." , he is Bao Yiyong. This patient mutation research project will be jointly led by the disease center led by my father and the National Institute of Biological Research..."

"It turned out to be Minister Bao's son. What do you do here?" Qian Yunkai interrupted Commissioner Bao's words and asked bluntly.

Commissioner Bao was blocked, probably feeling unhappy, so he stopped talking politely, and said coldly: "We are very interested in the situation of you and Wang Cheng, and hope you can come to the capital to cooperate with us."

"Then why is this person here?"

"You mean Dr. Brooke? He's..."

Qian Yunkai interrupted Commissioner Bao again, "Brooke, has your Geno Bioengineering Company closed down?"

The foreigner named Brook chuckled, and replied in fluent Chinese: "Of course not. It is impossible for any company to go bankrupt, and our Keno company cannot go bankrupt. We are cooperating with your country's disease center to solve some problems, and I just heard about the situation here. , I volunteered to come here together.”

"Commissioner Bao, is your father crazy? He actually cooperated with the notorious Kino company? Doesn't Mr. Bao know that Kino company likes to use human bodies for research most? Even their own people don't welcome this company, but you put these beasts When guests come in?"

As soon as Commissioner Bao made a sound, Brooke laughed and said, "Qian, your mouth is still as vicious as before. Maybe some people really don't welcome our Kino Institute, but you can't deny that every country in the world They all welcome the medicines we have developed. Everything has to be sacrificed, and if there is no sacrifice, there is no gain..."

"Then go back to your country and let the people of your country pay and sacrifice. You are not welcome in China!"

"Qian, whether you welcome us or not is not up to you."

Qian Yunkai sneered, "I won't go with you. I also believe that as long as the group of people from the National Institute of Biological Research is not out of their minds, it is impossible to cooperate with you Jinuo. As for Minister Bao of the disease center, we will appeal to the higher authorities and ask Who on earth gave him the power to bring troops over to arrest people? Is your army a regular army? If so, do you dare to come up with a regular dispatch order?"

"Qian Yunkai, we are able to bring people here, of course there is an order from Shangfeng. The cooperation between you and Wang Cheng is also for the sake of the health of the majority of the people in the country. You are pushing three obstacles and four obstacles for your own self-interest. It is useless for you to be a doctor. Commissioner Bao accused loudly.

"I'm a forensic doctor, and I'm only responsible for the dead. If you die, I will help you with the smallest autopsy. Dad, contact Superintendent Fang, this matter should fall under his jurisdiction."

"Yes! Why did I forget Fang Zhenggang, wait a minute, I'll contact him right away!"

Director Cai also spoke, "Commissioner Bao, we haven't verified your identities yet. Before that, please let Wang Cheng go."

inside the door.

"Do you think that people named Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng will be the same as me?" Xiao Mo, who had already packed up and was about to leave for the next stop, was a little restless.

Xue Lihong raised her finger, indicating that his voice was too loud.

Xiao Mo immediately lowered his voice, "Then what are the people from the Institute of Bioengineering arresting them for? Are they really going to be viviectised?"

Xiao Mo shuddered from being between himself and others.But this room didn't even have a window, so they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

There were constant arguments outside, and the man named Wang Cheng kept silent, not sure if he didn't want to say it or he couldn't.

"It's useless for you to think so much now. You have to complete the tasks assigned to you by the system first. Otherwise, you will be wiped out by the system before those people come to arrest you." The young man was extremely calm.

Xiao Mo was silent for a while, then raised his head, "You are right."

A deep light suddenly flashed in Xue Lihong's eyes, she lowered her voice and said, "Maybe it's not good outside."

"how do you know?"

"experience."

As soon as Xue Lihong's voice fell, there were a few slight "puff" sounds outside.

"Bang." There was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

After a while, Commissioner Bao's voice sounded, "Don't worry about the others, take Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng away!"

No one spoke, but orders were clearly carried out.

"Bao, wait a minute. Apart from these two, there should be other deep mutants." Wei Wei's foreign accent sounded, "Have someone search the other rooms, so as not to slip through the net."
