The Scavengers

After 9:26 on September 10

In the communication room of the front building, Cheng Zai had just returned to his work position in a wheelchair.

He quickly turned on the computer and connected it to the host, and searched for the figures of Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong, but they were not here, and they were still not there!

He began to search for the cameras in the lab, Lab No. [-], Lab No. [-]...

sky!What are these things? !

Cheng Zai was surprised and immediately copied these images, and then made them into secret files and sent them to a safe address.

When he browsed to the NO.13 laboratory, he found that it was full of snowflakes.

The monitor was destroyed, could Brother Xue be there?

Cheng Zai continued to search on the fourth floor, and happened to catch Bao Yuezhi's last two words.

About Chang'e?What's up?Who is Chang'e referring to?

And brother Xiao is still alive, it's really amazing!

"What are you looking at?"

"Crack!" Cheng Zai closed the lid of the notebook, grabbed the earphones and quickly turned his head, grinning, "Boss, your lightness kung fu is already superb, and I didn't even hear it at all."

Ma Xiang curled his fingers and tapped on his forehead, "Don't cause trouble for me."

"How can someone as honest as me cause trouble?" Cheng Zai cried out.

Ma Xiang pressed his palm on the notebook and was about to open it.

Cheng Zai pressed it firmly, "Boss, are you sure you really want to watch it? This will really test your mental endurance, and the consequences will be very, serious, serious."

"Open!"

NO.13 laboratory, inside the glass room.

The angelic woman hangs in the air like this, with both wings pierced by transparent glass threads.

Xue Lihong watched for a while, focusing on the joints between the woman's wings and shoulders and the changes in her limbs.There are also some IV tubes behind the woman, which are inserted directly into her spine.

The woman's eyelids trembled, as if she was dreaming, but also as if she was about to wake up.

Xue Lihong took out the needle and accurately inserted it into the woman's blood vessel.

Within a few minutes of Xiao Mo absorbing the energy crystal, Xue Lihong collected a total of nearly [-] milliliters of blood, which is a very dangerous value. If the human body loses more than [-] milliliters of blood, it will cause shock.

The woman's face became paler and she didn't know if she felt it. If she did, she probably hated Xue Lihong to death.

Xue Lihong put the blood bag into the cryogenic collection box, collected the woman's bone marrow and other somatic cells expressionlessly, and stuffed them into her backpack one by one.

Xiao Mo has been promoted to the third level, and it won't take long for him to absorb the second level energy crystal.When he came over, Xue Lihong had already collected it.

"Do you think this woman looks familiar?" Xiao Mo entered the glass room and was considering whether to take her back immediately, but the other party didn't look like a monster at all, which made him unable to make a move at all. Well, he already knew that something would happen. He just needs a little psychological preparation for bad consequences.He was embarrassed to stare at the woman's body, so he had to look at her face, and after a long time, he suddenly realized that it was a little familiar.

Xue Lihong raised her head, "A little bit."

Xiao Mo touched his chin, who exactly did he look like?Had he seen this woman?

The system reminded him again very seriously: "Please recover the mission target as soon as possible."

"Is she still human? Does she still have human reason and emotion? Is it possible to recover?" Xiao Mo asked three questions one after another.

System: "She is a sample of the alienated virus of the rabies No. 100 vaccine. Just one milligram of her body fluids will infect [-]% of humans with the angel virus." The system did not answer the last two questions.

Xiao Mo raised his wrist to look at the watch, the cover of the watch had a crack because of the rough treatment of the mercenaries before, "I remember that there are still 37 hours left for recovery."

Xue Lihong turned to look at him, "Is the system urging you?"

"Ah."

"Never mind it."

System: "I heard you."

Xiao Mo smiled, "What should I do? Can I wake her up? I don't know if she still has self-awareness."

Xue Lihong remembered the pile of data she had seen on the computer before, walked around the woman, and made a decision, "Let's just recycle her like this, I have collected enough resources, it should be enough money to open them For research. Besides, there is not much time, and Bao Yuezhi's people should be here soon."

system:"……"

Xiao Mo was puzzled, and asked the system: "Do you want to say something?"

System: "No, I'm just removing junk programs."

Xiao Mo was curious, "Do you generate a lot of junk programs? Do you make weird noises every time you clear them? Can you block them? That's very noisy."

The system refuses to make any further reply.

Xiao Mo asked twice and saw that the system didn't respond, so he threw his hands at Xue Lihong, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty the system is arrogant again. Leave it alone, do you really want to take back this person?"

"According to Bao Yuezhi's research data, this woman is no longer human, at least part of her is no longer human."

Xiao Mo said frankly: "I can't do it."

Xiao Mo happened to be standing on the side of the woman at this time, and when he saw the silhouette of the woman's face, a human face suddenly flashed in his mind, isn't it? "Wait! I remembered! Xiaohong, do you think this woman is very similar to Cheng Zai?"

Xue Lihong observed the woman's face, "From the facial features, indeed, the two should be related by blood."

Xiao Mo made a crying expression, "Cheng Zai stayed outside before saying that he wanted to wait for his mother."

"It seems he didn't know that his mother had already come in, and..."

Xiao Mo couldn't do it in the first place, and he couldn't do it now.

Xue Lihong really wanted to do it instead of him, but the system stipulated that the recycler had to solve the task objective by himself, otherwise the task would not be considered as completed.

After three seconds, Xiao Mo stopped circling and suggested: "Either wake her up, if she really loses her humanity and reason, then I will... take her back, if she still has a human side, then find a way to save her Go out, maybe she is really Cheng Zai's mother. This is the first task of the third level, even if I, I give up, I still have another chance."

System: "I solemnly tell you again, I heard it. Scavengers, are you forcing me to change the rules? For example, if I don't complete it once, just kill it?"

Xiao Mo didn't know what to think, but immediately fought back: "Do you want me to try to destroy you? Maybe I can't find you, but since I will be obliterated by you, do you think I will try my best to die with you? ?”

System: ...Why did this person suddenly become sharp?

Xue Lihong didn't know the battle between Xiao Mo and the system in her head, so she calmly said: "She is a virus source. Have you ever thought about the consequences of taking her out? Don't think about fixing her, it is by no means a simple matter , Her physical condition is much more complicated than you imagined. Even if you spend a lot of time and energy on studying her, it is very likely that not only will you not be able to repair her body, but you will create more powerful viruses and monsters instead."

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth, struggled violently in his mind, and raised his pistol to aim at the angel girl, but he put it down after a while.

"Give me a chance to wake her up, at least let me know that the monster I killed was still a human." He couldn't just take back this woman who might be Cheng Zai's mother.

Xue Lihong sniffed her nose suddenly, her expression changed, "It's an anesthetic spray, let's go!"

Xiao Mo felt dizzy for a moment, the effect of this anesthesia spray was very strong, and he felt its power before he even smelled it.

Xiao Mo quickly used the reverse ability of restoration to decompose the anesthetic and expel it from the body, "Where are you going? What about this woman?"

"You go first! Jump down from that pit. In order to deal with the experimental subjects, they will definitely spray anesthesia spray on a large area, and the passages and ventilation ducts outside are not allowed."

The anesthetic seemed to have no effect on Xue Lihong. He quickly pulled out all the infusion tubes on the woman's body, and cut off all the transparent glass threads hanging her with a saw blade.

Xiao Mo puffed himself up three times by the garbage monster's shit pit, seeing Xue Lihong running over with the woman on his back, he immediately closed his eyes and jumped down!

Xue Lihong forcibly retracted the woman's wings, wrapped them around her body, and then forced her into the hole.

The woman's wings got in the way and got stuck.

Xue Lihong kicked down very cruelly, forcefully kicking the person in.

"Crack!" The woman's wing bone must have been broken, as she was trembling with pain in a coma.

Xue Lihong then also jumped down.

About 5 minutes later, Linghuling's subordinates checked the air quality on the fifth floor, put on gas masks and led the group to open the passage door on the fourth floor again.

After entering the fifth floor, there were many experimental subjects who had escaped lying on the ground.

Some of them can still struggle, Linghu sees this and asks people to go forward and get another needle.

Fortunately, most of the powerful test subjects were injected with strong anesthetics when they were not performing experiments. Even if the power was cut off, they would not be able to escape for a while, and even if they escaped, they would be stunned by the anesthetic again.

Linghu handed over the task of inspecting the laboratories along the road to his subordinates, and led a group of people to quickly run towards the NO.13 laboratory.

Opening the door to the merger, you can have a panoramic view of the NO.13 laboratory.

What about people?Linghu couldn't believe his eyes, and even brought someone in to check it out.

Disappeared!Xiao Mo, Xue Lihong and Chang'e disappeared together.

His men were surprised, "Where are the people? Where can they go?"

Linghu stopped at the excrement hole of the garbage monster, pointed down, "Here, they ran from here."

The mercenaries who came to watch all twitched their faces. Even though they were wearing gas masks, many of them subconsciously wanted to cover their noses.

David sighed: "These two worked really hard for the task."

Linghu glanced at him indifferently, and took out the communicator to talk to Bao Yuezhi.

When Bao Yuezhi heard that the people ran away, he cursed angrily, "Look for it! Why don't you hurry up and look for it! If the whole building is sealed off, where can they go?"

Linghu put away the communicator, looked down at the shit hole, he suddenly realized that it really takes a lot of courage to jump in and chase someone.

The mercenaries looked at him together, none of them wanted to go down because they were afraid that Linghu would call his name.

"David."

David trembled, and the others looked at him sympathetically.

"Do you know where this hole leads?"

David said cautiously: "I'm not sure, this pit existed before I came here."

Linghu didn't continue to ask other people, but instead said: "Give me the floor plan of the sewer on the fifth floor."

David took a long breath, and immediately said, "I'll go find it right away!"

Let's talk about Xiao Mo and the others.

The pothole was long, and they slid for a while before "thumping" into the full septic tank.

I won’t describe the ecstasy of being immersed in the shit pit in detail, whoever has experienced it will know it.

Xiao Mo tried his best to swim up, and Xue Lihong held the angel girl's chin to prevent her from being suffocated to death by the stolen goods blocking her breathing tube.

Xiao Mo pointed to the front, struggling to swim forward.

There is a sewer pipe at a slightly higher position in front. The pipe is thicker visually, and they can walk upright in it.

Xiao Mo swam to the end, climbed up first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to pull the angel girl.

Xue Lihong lifted the angel girl, Xiao Mo pulled on it, and finally pulled the angel girl into the sewer.

It was much easier for Xue Lihong to go up by herself.

Xiao Mo wiped his face, he no longer dared to imagine his current image, let alone speak.As for the taste...don't remind him!

Turning around to see the angel girl's wings were injured, Xiao Mo repaired her easily.

Xue Lihong wiped her face casually, looked down, and said: "It's a natural pit, probably the person who dug the cesspit for the garbage monster dug it not long after digging it, it seems that this is a natural pit, so I didn't lay another one." Otherwise, the garbage monster's excrement pipe should be connected to this sewer pipe. Boss, we have to get out of here quickly, and those people will come here soon."

Xiao Mo called the system in his mind, asking it to call up the passage map leading to Ma Xiang's territory.

The system ignored him for a long time.

Xiao Mo was extremely helpless, did he offend Brother System? "My lord, we are running for our lives, please give me some response?"

Xue Lihong turned to look at him.

The system finally gave a response: "Non-related tasks..."

"I beg you!" Every time Xiao Mo heard this sentence, he wanted to find out the system and smash it, "The mission target is in my hands, why is this not a mission? You always want me to complete the mission, Then you have to cooperate with me."

System: "You can recover the target now."

"Don't force me! Believe it or not, I'll kill myself right away for you to see?" Xiao Mo said very seriously: "Besides, if I can't destroy you by blowing myself up, you'll have to live on the person next to me. Are you sure you want to go to school?" Red body?"

Xue Lihong showed her white teeth, "Warmly welcome, come on."

System: "You have the ability to repair, you can't die."

"I still have the ability to destroy!" Xiao Mo was impatient and turned around angrily, "Xiao Hong! Eat me! Don't leave a single piece!"

The calm Xue Lihong said, "Well, wait a minute, let's wash it first, you are a bit smelly now."

"Fuck! Do you think you smell good?" Xiao Mo smiled angrily at the domestic worker, once he vented his anger, he didn't feel so angry when dealing with the system, "Brother System, His Majesty System, are you there?"

System: "I'm always there."

"As long as it doesn't affect the final result, what I'm doing and my request shouldn't violate your procedural rules, right?"

The system was silent for a while, and threw out a sentence without any emotion: "Tomorrow, before the time limit of 23 o'clock, the mission target must be recovered."

Xiao Mo cheered up and was overjoyed, "Yes, Your Majesty. Then can I trouble you to provide the passage map? It must be possible."

The system was very efficient this time, and soon a floor plan of the underground sewer appeared in Xiao Mo's mind.

"Thank you." Xiao Mo sincerely thanked him, he was indeed causing trouble for the human system and his partners.But... what if this woman is really Cheng Zai's mother?What if she still had humanity and sanity?

Xiao Mo also hated himself for being indecisive, but he was such a person, and it would not be overnight if he wanted to change.

Besides, if one day the system asks him to take back Xiaohong, the reason is that Xiaohong's existence will destroy the world, will he also listen to the system?

There is no reply from the system.

Xiao Mo knew that the other party was a program with no feelings, but still couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, really, I really hope to cooperate well with you. After getting along for such a long time, no feelings will give birth to feelings. I know you follow the rules Do things, but if it is within the rules, can we all give each other some convenience?"

The system is silent.

Xiao Mo sighed in disappointment. He has actually regarded the system as an indispensable partner after being together for so long. Body, and is still gradually becoming stronger, it has to be said that the system is also one of the heroes.

Xue Lihong's eyes fell on the angel girl, he seemed to have seen her move just now?

Xiao Mo began to study the latest map in his mind, watching him frowned.

System: "This is not a wrong map. I have scanned all possible passages nearby. There is also a section of the pipeline in the most feasible passage that does not have enough space for humans to enter."

"I know you have tried your best." Xiao Mo expressed his thanks again, and then told Xue Lihong the bad news.

"You draw the pipeline picture and show me." Xue Lihong took out a paper and pen from the backpack and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo looked at his hands, then at Xue Lihong, "You put your hands into your backpack just like that? You're not afraid..."

"I have lived in dirtier places. For a long time I lived in a mine full of contagious patients. There were too many dead people there, and most of them were not buried in the end. They were left there to rot. Because Their relatives are all dead, and there is no one to help them bury them."

"Huh? Is there such a place? Where is it?"

Xuelihong said the name of a country.

Xiao Mo found it hard to imagine that this country is a famous romantic country in modern times.

Xue Lihong talked about the era at that time, seeing Xiao Mo's eyes widen, and teasing him: "Stop staring, if you stare again, you will be washed and eaten right now. Didn't I tell you that I have practiced for thousands of years and once took a pill to rejuvenate my youth?" Dan..."

"Just talk about it!" Xiao Mo sneered, took the pen and paper, and while drawing a simple pipeline diagram, said: "Then I won't take a bath in the future, I don't think you can handle it."

"I have always had a good appetite." Xue Lihong suddenly approached.

Xiao Mo was startled, "Don't get so close suddenly, okay?"

Xue Lihong rested her chin on his shoulder, and didn't mind the filth on his body, since they were both equally dirty anyway.

"What is this?" Xuelihong pointed at the white paper.

"ladder."

"Ladder? Where can it lead?"

Xiao Mo looked at the floor plan in his mind, and then quickly changed it to a three-dimensional map, "This ladder should be a maintenance ladder for the sewer, and going up is... the fifth floor underground!"

Xue Lihong's brain began to spin rapidly.

Xiao Mo knew that he was thinking, and continued to draw with his head down, without disturbing him.

"This pipe means a dead end?" Xue Lihong also looked at the picture with some concentration.

Xiao Mo nodded, "This is an ordinary pipe, it would be difficult for adults to crawl through it, and the pipe going up to the front is also narrow, and we have one person with us, so it may be difficult to pass."

"Don't talk about passing, we have guests coming." Xue Lihong patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder and stood up.

Xiao Mo also stood up, "Where is it?" He didn't hear anything.

"There is still a little distance." Xue Lihong listened carefully.

Neither of them noticed that the angel girl who was lying behind them slowly stood up.

The angel girl moved her fingers, and the nails on her fingertips suddenly grew longer.

Her body is gradually disappearing, and even her wings are gradually becoming transparent.

Suddenly a saw blade appeared in Xue Lihong's hand, she turned around abruptly, and slashed backward.

"Dang!" The special sound of metal objects hitting each other sounded.

Xiao Mo also posted it on the wall immediately to ensure the safety of the rear, and at the same time raised the gun to point at the half-transparent angel girl.

The angel girl seemed to hate Xue Lihong so much, she repelled her by a step, and rushed forward again.

Xiao Mo wanted to shoot, but he was afraid that women still had human consciousness. In a hurry, he raised his voice and shouted: "Cheng Zai!"

The body of the angel girl stopped suddenly.

Seeing it worked, Xiao Mo hurriedly continued to shout: "Cheng Zai's mother, we are Cheng Zai's friends, do you still want to see your son?"

The angel girl suddenly let out a scream, and her body and wings disappeared completely.

Xue Lihong hesitated for a second between making a move and not making a move, a gust of wind brushed past his cheeks.

"She ran away?" Xiao Mo was dumbfounded.

System make-up: "I hope you can find the target before tomorrow's time limit."

"Brother, stop teasing me." Xiao Mo had a bitter face.

Xue Lihong wasn't too worried: "It's very difficult for the angel girl to leave the sewer. She has wings, which are wider than ours. Being invisible doesn't mean the area will decrease."

Well, Xiao Mo felt that he felt a little better, "But the angel girls are able to hide all of them, and they are indeed the original body of the angel virus."

Xue Lihong shook her head, "It's not because of the virus. This woman's original ability can make her invisible. I read some information on the computer. Bao Yuezhi used her for human experiments, combining the genes of another ability user with her The combination made her grow a pair of wings, and then she was injected with a bunch of messy things, including the experimental rabies virus vaccine No. [-]. After the injection, the woman produced a new virus in her body, and also It's the angel virus."

Xiao Mo's face changed, "So, Bao Yuezhi made this angel virus?"

"It's just planting willows unintentionally. This woman tried to escape and scratched many people. Those people didn't know that they had been infected with the angel virus. When they left the laboratory and went to other places, the angel virus spread like this."

After a pause, Xue Lihong speculated: "I think Bao Yuezhi didn't expect such serious consequences at the beginning. After he found out that the angel virus that destroyed one city after another was made by him, he must have He didn’t dare to let others know, but he didn’t know how to control the virus at all, so he could only think of a vaccine on his own, but according to the data, he hasn’t even found a clue yet.”

Xue Lihong, who had read most of the information in the computer, was very disdainful towards Bao Yuezhi.

But he happened to be planted in the hands of such a person in front of him, which made him a little angry.

No, you can't let that guy go, he must kill him before going out.It's more troublesome to capture this guy alive, but it's much easier to kill him.

"If people know..."

"The Bao family father and son are definitely finished."

Xiao Mo regretted, "It's a pity we didn't copy the information just now."

"I copied it."

Xiao Mo was overjoyed, rushed up and hugged Xue Lihong, if it wasn't for the fact that his face was so dirty, he would have kissed him, "Yes! Our Xiaohong is very good! I used to think that kid surnamed Bao was not pleasing to my eyes, When we go out this time, we must kill him!"

Xue Lihong wiped her cheeks, and turned sideways.

Xiao Mo, "..." What do you mean?

There was a scream in front, and the two looked forward together.

Xue Lihong's ears twitched, "Cheng Zai and the mercenaries who came down to look for us bumped into each other, let's go and help her."

Linghu and the others took off their gas masks and entered through the sewer mouth of a water room on the fifth floor underground, avoiding the cesspit.

Although the poor group of mercenaries avoided the tragedy of swimming in the cesspit, they encountered an invisible attack as soon as they entered here, and the last person was still climbing down the iron ladder.

"Ah!" A mercenary screamed and fell down, his body was cut in half by a sharp weapon from top to bottom.

The other mercenaries immediately swept their guns around, "Shua!" A sharp wind passed by, and a mercenary's head fell off.

"Fuck! Who is it! What is it!" The mercenaries roared and screamed.

Seeing this familiar and brutal attack pattern, Linghu narrowed his eyes, "It's Chang'e! Back to back, try to narrow the distance! The space here is narrow, she can't fly."

When the mercenaries heard that it was Chang'e, their faces changed drastically.They are not afraid of Chang'e's attack power and cruelty, but fear that as long as they are scratched by Chang'e, they will 100% become infected with the angel virus!

Linghu saw that his subordinates were all huddled together and formed a circle facing the outside, and immediately attacked two thunderbolts in a row from two ends.

"Crack!"

"boom!"

One of them was lucky enough to hit the target.

With a flash of white wings, half of Chang'e's figure was exposed.

Linghu knew that it would take time for her to become invisible, so he immediately aimed his gun at her vitals and fired a burst of fire, and the other mercenaries also fired wildly.

Chang'e's wings were bent forward and inward to cover the vital parts of her body, while she kept sprinting backwards.

Ninety percent of the bullets hit her wings, causing the white feathers to splatter and blood to explode in clusters.

Chang'e had nearly [-] milliliters of blood drawn by someone who was cruel before, and now she lost blood again, and she couldn't stand it anymore.But some of Chang'e's characteristics are very similar to those ugly angels outside, that is, she will not die unless she hits a vital point.

"Shua!" A black shadow suddenly sprang out from behind Chang'e, slashing at Linghu with the light of a knife.
