The Scavengers

After 9:26 on September 11

There was a panic in the passage, ten security guards and Xiao Mo passed by each other.

Soon there was a scolding voice from behind: "Why didn't the elevator respond?"

"Damn it, it must be the experimental subject below that bit the circuit!"

"Go, take a look at the elevator on the right."

A group of people hula ran back, brushing past Xiao Mo and the two again.

Xiao Mo and the two followed behind them.

The door of the conference room at the end opened, and a personal bodyguard of Bao Yuezhi walked out, and then the door was closed tightly.

There are four mercenary guards outside the meeting room door.

The bodyguard with supernatural powers didn't even look at the security guard who ran over, and strode towards the elevator on the right.

Xue Lihong pulled Xiao Mo, and the two lowered their heads as much as possible to blend into the security group. Although the four guards and mercenaries were a little surprised when they saw the two, they saw so many security guards, and one of Bao Shao's bodyguards also came out. Thinking that the two of them had some orders to carry out, they didn't pay much attention to them.

The security guard looked at the mercenary attire of the two, although they didn't understand why the two followed them, but out of fear of these mercenaries, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Turn right, go forward, pass the tea room and restroom which are also arranged on the left side, and you will find the elevator room.

Here we must explain the relative positions of the front and rear buildings. The second basement floor of the front building is on the same level as the first basement floor of the back building. There are two left and right passages connecting each other in the middle. The elevator is inside the elevator door, which is also the only entrance. , there is a steel plate paving to connect the front and rear buildings. If the elevator in the back building comes up, the steel plate will retract.

Even if you climb the stairs from the safe passage, you must go through the elevator door if you want to go from the back building to the front building.

But Xiao Mo destroyed the entire elevator circuit sensor and manual valve, the steel plate is now retracted and cannot be ejected, the elevator cannot operate, and even the elevator door cannot be opened.In this way, the front and rear buildings are disconnected.

Of course, the hands of Wang and Bao can pry open the elevator doors on both sides and lay temporary boards inside, but this project will definitely take a while.What Xiao Mo and the others want is this time difference.

Xue Lihong remembered the four supernatural bodyguards around Bao Yuezhi very clearly, and whispered to Xiao Mo about the transfer of the other party's personnel.

Xiao Mo pressed his ears, lowered his voice to the lowest level, and relayed: "Ten security guards and a person with strong abilities have passed by, and no one will come up in the short term."

Ma Xiang: "Got it."

Xiao Mo destroyed the elevator on the right again, but this time he only destroyed a little, so that the mercenaries below could not operate the elevator.

Now, Bao Yuezhi's staff on the fourth and fifth floors can only climb upstairs.It will take at least three to five minutes for them to climb up after they find that the elevator is out of order.

When Xiao Mo turned around, Xue Lihong had disappeared.

Xiao Mo dashed with his back, grabbed the pistol and ran quietly towards the meeting room at the end.

Xue Lihong used her speed to the extreme, and her body directly turned into a black shadow.

The four mercenaries at the door of the conference room felt a gust of cold wind passing by, their throats were all split open, and they fell down bubbling blood.

Xiao Mo didn't dare to kill people, but he saw a lot of dead people. Seeing the four mercenaries fell down, he and Xue Lihong immediately grabbed the feet of the four security guards and dragged them to the side.

After getting rid of the guard's mercenaries, Xue Lihong used the saw blade as a boomerang and destroyed all the monitors in the corridor.

Xiao Mo was puzzled and asked him with his eyes.

Xue Lihong smiled lowly, "I don't want to give others a clue."

Xiao Mo understood, Xue Lihong didn't believe Ma Xiang and the others.

Then, the young man took out a bundle of metal ropes from his backpack, and quickly made a set.

Question marks appeared in Xiao Mo's eyes again.

Xue Lihong hooked the corners of her lips at him, but this time he didn't explain.

"Dong dong."

The people who were waiting for news in the conference room raised their heads and looked towards the door.

A security guard walked over to open the door under the signal of Wang Jinian.

The security guard opened the door, and when he saw the mercenaries outside, he suddenly felt something strange.

By the way, where are the four guards at the gate?

A pistol was held against his chin.

The security guard looked at another mercenary who appeared, and obediently turned his body away.

Xue Lihong brushed past the security guard and walked into the meeting room with her head down.

At that moment, everyone in the conference room hadn't noticed something was wrong.

Because there were manpower outside and not enough mercenaries, there were only two bodyguards left by Bao Yuezhi's side.

Bao Yuezhi was listening to his subordinates' report, "What? The man guarding the sewer entrance in the water room is dead? What about Linghu? Go down and look for him! No, you all come up, immediately, all come up!"

The ice power user saw that Bao Yuezhi was getting angry on the intercom, so he had no choice but to ask the person who came in: "What's the matter? Wait, you are..."

Bao Yuezhi raised his head, he was about to remind the bodyguards that the two people before were not dead, they might have already entered this building.

But just as he opened his mouth, before the bodyguard could say "who", Xue Lihong suddenly threw out the metal noose, wrapped it around Bao Yuezhi's neck, and pulled hard.

Bao Yuezhi flew up.

"Bang!" Xue Lihong threw out the noose with her right hand, and fired at the same time with her left hand.

Before the supernatural being able to pass through the wall and ground could react, he fell down with a bullet between his eyebrows. His feet had already sunk into the ground, but he still had no time to escape.

Bao Yuezhi's roar and screams were all blocked in his throat, his face bled quickly, and he grabbed the metal rope around his neck with both hands.

All this happens in an instant!Until Bao Yuezhi flew up, Wang Jinian and the others hadn't realized what happened.

"Enemy! It's the enemy!" There was chaos in the room.

"Young Master Bao!" The only remaining ice-powered user immediately fired an ice arrow to attack Xue Lihong.He had to save them, not to mention how generous the salary was. Their family members were all in Bao Yiyong's hands. If they dared to leave Bao Yuezhi and escape, even if no one betrayed them, Bao Yiyong would not spare them when they went back, unless they could be cruel and completely abandon them. own family.

Wang Jinian and other security guards also took out their pistols and shot Xue Lihong desperately.

Xue Lihong didn't wait to die indoors, he trapped Bao Yuezhi, killed the supernatural being through the wall with one shot, and then dragged Bao Yuezhi to run outside the meeting room.

"Let go of Young Master Bao!" The ice power user immediately chased after him, trying to save Bao Yuezhi.

Wang Jinian's men wanted to chase them out, but they were stopped by Wang Jinian, "Don't chase them out, it's dangerous outside, protect me!"

In Wang Jinian's mind, Bao Yuezhi is doomed. He must now start to think about what to do next. If the military controls the grain depot, and he does not have Bao Yuezhi's support, he has no choice but to surrender to the military, but there are also surrenders. In this way, he must strive for the greatest benefit for himself.

Xiao Mo held on to the dash, and waited for Xue Lihong to drag Bao Yuezhi to run out. When he saw someone chasing after him, he shot immediately.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Hmm!" The ice-powered user who was chasing after him didn't expect that there were people ambushing outside, and was caught off guard several times in a row.

The reaction of the bodyguard with the ice ability was not unpleasant. As soon as he was attacked, he made an ice shield and sealed the wound with ice to prevent blood from flowing out.

But he was busy saving himself, but he forgot that there was a killing god waiting for him.

Xue Lihong kicked off the wall and jumped back, cutting off the head of the bodyguard with the ice ability.

At this time, there is no distinction between good and evil. If you don't kill people, people will kill you. Even Xiao Mo is shooting himself to protect himself and destroy the enemy.

The ice-powered bodyguard died with nothing to rest on his eyes.

Wang Jinian asked his subordinates to close the door of the conference room, and then used a table to hold it against it.

"The people inside can't stay, they have already seen us arresting Bao Yuezhi." Xiao Mo said unconsciously, and after he finished speaking, he found out what he said, which shocked him very much.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't bring more trouble to General Qiu Feng who had been helping them all the time, and he didn't want to be chased and killed by Bao's father after he went out, so silence became necessary.

Cheng Zai had already told him that Bao Yuezhi and others had lost contact with the outside world when the explosion occurred. Now, except for him and Ma Xiang who knew that they had contact with Bao Yuezhi, no one else knew.

Then as long as those people inside are killed, and all Bao Yuezhi's bodyguards are abolished, with General Qiu, Cheng Zai, and Ma Xiang all keeping silent, no one outside will know that they are confronting Bao Yuezhi, and Bao Yuezhi is also the same. What happens to Ochi will have nothing to do with them.

"Understood, leave it to me!" A trace of surprise flashed in Xue Lihong's eyes, he thought that Xiao Mo would hope that fewer people would die, or let him hand over the people inside to the military for disposal.

Of course, even if Xiao Mo really asked so, he would kill everyone in the conference room.Xue Lihong stepped on Bao Yuezhi, and shot at the door with her gun, instantly turning the door of the meeting room into a sieve.

Xiao Mo pressed his hand on the wall, found the circuit behind the wall, and directly cut off the lighting in the meeting room through the wall. He also wanted to try to see if he could destroy the molecules of the wall or door, and wanted to make a big hole.

Xue Lihong let him try, seeing that the gate was almost destroyed, he jumped up on the spot, and slammed into the sieve gate, the gate was broken, and he rolled in.

The lighting inside had been destroyed, and darkness and screams came at the same time.

Xiao Mo gave up trying, he found that his energy was depleted quite quickly.I don't know if his method of using the destructive ability is wrong, or he is not proficient enough to cause a huge waste of energy.

He looked at Bao Yuezhi who was lying on the ground. He was motionless, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or dead.Xiao Mo was afraid that he would run away like Chang'e, so he was half-focused on staring at him.

Intensive gunshots came from the meeting room, but the gunfire soon became sporadic.

Xiao Mo didn't try to go in, he couldn't see, and going in could only add negative effects to Xue Lihong.

None of Wang Jinian had supernatural powers, and there were few people, so he turned off the power again. Xue Lihong, who could see in the dark, wanted to kill those few with ease.

The gunshots disappeared completely, Xue Lihong jumped over the conference table blocking the door, and walked out through the open door.

It's a long story, but the whole process took less than three or four minutes.

Xiao Mo gripped the gun tightly, and quickly said: "I didn't see anyone else coming out, there should be no one on the first floor."

Xue Lihong grabbed Bao Yuezhi who had been thrown outside the door, untied the noose, put the rope up, and carried him on his shoulders, "Let's go down. The people below are coming up soon. I heard them running in the safe corridor." Voice."

Xiao Mo repaired the elevator on the right first. The damage was not large, and the repair was quick. The two of them had just entered the elevator with Bao Yuezhi's body, and David rushed up from the safe corridor with a group of mercenaries.

"Uh..." Xiao Mo looked up at the monitor in the elevator, the wiring was different, he didn't destroy it in advance.

Xue Lihong also noticed this omission, and looked directly at Xiao Mo expressionlessly.

"You can't blame me for this." Xiao Mo smiled, this person seems to be impeccable in doing things, but he always makes some very childish mistakes.

Xue Lihong continued to stare at his boss, don't blame you, now Ma Xiang and the others have evidence that I might kill Bao Yuezhi.

Xiao Mo stuck to his ear, tiptoed and said: "It's okay, when I go back to the front, I will find a chance to degauss all their information storage."

Master Xue was satisfied, and stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Mo's head.

Xiao Mo was furious, "How dare you touch my head with blood on your hands! Don't you know I'm your boss?"

Solving Bao Yuezhi's big problem, the two of them felt a lot more relaxed, and the rest was to clean up their tails and deal with those little people.

"Ding." The elevator door opened.

The two walked into the corridor on the fourth floor.

The elevator on the right cannot go down directly to the fifth floor underground. They must go down through the safe passage on the fourth floor.

Xiao Mo did not forget to destroy the elevator again.

"Hey, you... who are you carrying on your shoulders?" A mercenary who came out of the laboratory felt that the clothes of the person carried by Xue Lihong on his shoulders were very familiar, and Xue Lihong's face made him feel strange.

Xue Lihong raised her hand, "Bang."

Before the mercenary could raise the muzzle of his gun, he fell down with a bullet in the eyebrow.

Xiao Mo's eyes narrowed, "We have captured Bao Yuezhi now, and with Linghu in our hands, when Colonel Ma Xiang and the others control the top, these mercenaries will not be able to rebel even if they want to."

Xue Lihong laughed silently, "Boss, do you know where the experimental subjects on the fifth floor come from? And who is guarding and torturing them?"

Xiao Mo was surprised and disappointed, "You mean those experimental subjects were captured by these mercenaries?"

"Don't you expect the Bao family and his son to go to various places to arrest people by themselves? Can you also arrest people with supernatural powers?"

Xiao Mo stopped talking.

Xue Lihong didn't laugh at Xiao Mo's idea of ​​"there are many good people in the world", he just said honestly and plainly: "There are good and bad mercenaries, some act out of conscience, but some don't care about their own interests except for their own interests. I know how conscience and conscience are written. You have never been in contact with mercenaries in the field, and some of those people can do anything for money, even massacring villages and genocide.

Bao's father and son are not clean, do they dare to hire mercenaries with good reputation?Believe it or not, some mercenaries with a righteous heart and a bad temper would rather break the contract and kill the master when they saw what they did?So the character of the mercenaries they will hire can be imagined. "

Seeing Xiao Mo's silence, Xue Lihong continued: "Even if we let these mercenaries go today, do you think they will suddenly become enlightened and become good people? No, they will only get worse. And I guess the Bao family must have the means to control them, Drugs are the most likely. As for mercenaries who still have humanity, they are likely to use what they care about, such as their family or kindness.

When these people get out alive, they will still make a living in the hands of Bao Yiyong in all likelihood. At that time, it will be more ordinary people who will suffer, such as the more than 2000 survivors in front of them, and the soldiers in the hands of Ma Xiang and the others.Boss, if you don't want to regret it in the future, you have to be ruthless now. "

"What if there are good people among them? You can't deny the possibility." Xiao Mo had actually accepted the practice of silence, but he still couldn't help saying this.

"I didn't deny it." The corners of Xue Lihong's mouth curved slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, "So what? You want to let go of fifty wicked people for the sake of one good person? Or will you know who is good and who is bad?"

Xiao Mo was discouraged, he couldn't tell the difference.

Xue Lihong originally planned to search for mercenaries on every floor and kill them all, but now he changed his mind: "Well, if they don't collide, I won't kill them."

Xiao Mo's life experience is completely different from his. It is normal to have these thoughts, and he is even very happy that the other party has his own thoughts and speaks out.He didn't want Xiao Mo to teach Wei Wei, and he didn't want him to become selfish and indifferent or simply ignore him.

One cruel, indifferent and overly rational person is enough for the team. He really doesn't want his boss to become more and more cold-blooded and ruthless, treating human life like nothing.

He has seen too many such people in his many years of life. These people may live longer than others—for example, he even lives happier than ordinary people, but if you see many such people, your heart will Gradually become icy cold.

The reason why religions are most popular in times of disaster is that they can give warmth and hope to the cold, numb and desperate people, even if they also have many problems.

And people always need hope in order to live.Xue Lihong does not hope that one day he will be infected with a terrible virus, which may be able to infect others even when he breathes, and then a bunch of people will come to chase him down. The reason is that it is for the good of most people.

Even if killing him alone can save the whole world, he is so selfish that he would rather be left alone in the whole world than exchange his own life.Besides, with his ability, who can guarantee that he can't develop an antidote against the virus?

No one wants to be killed by the name of Dayi, even monsters.Of course, if he wasn't the one who was righteous, and he didn't care about killing the one, he promises he won't be relentless.

You see, the so-called justice is nothing more than different positions.

So his boss only needs to improve his mood, skills and experience in dealing with various crises in the future, and there is no need for major changes in other things. The executioner will do it.

A person like Xiao Mo may not be able to save the world, but he will be a partner who makes people feel relieved to trust their backs to him.At least he chose such a boss without worrying about being stabbed in the heart by the other party one day, and then the other party said sorry to him and said that he had no choice but to do so.

However, I am afraid that only he can handle Xiao Mo in such a chaotic world and all kinds of dangers and troubles brought by the other party. Ordinary people may have already dumped Xiao Mo, right?Hmm, he really is the best employee in the world!Xue Lihong suddenly felt very proud.

Xiao Mo didn't know what Xue Lihong was thinking, and looked anxious, "You don't mind my opinion, if you think your way is more right, then do as you want, I'm not that fragile. And...cough, You know that I don't want my thoughts and actions to drag you down."

The corners of Xue Lihong's mouth twitched slightly, "This guy's hind legs are very thick, boss, you can drag them casually."

Just as Xiao Mo smiled, Xue Lihong said again: "You don't have to worry about doing something wrong, as I said, I will wipe your ass."

If it is obviously normal, why does it sound so strange? Is this his illusion?

Xiao Mo felt uneasy, not because of Xue Lihong's words, but because he found that he was more inclined not to die, but he didn't know how to express his "true" thoughts.

And is this really his "real" thought?

Xue Lihong didn't intend to kill himself, but he didn't intend to let these mercenaries go. He was a fool to leave a lot of excuses for himself, but he had already thought of a more suitable executioner.

While the two were talking, they had already left the fourth floor and went down to the passageway full of bullet holes on the fifth floor.

There wasn't a single mercenary in the passage, it was unknown if they were in the laboratory, or they were all called up by Bao Yuezhi.

Xue Lihong had no intention of killing people, and together with Xiao Mo, they went straight to the water room with people on their shoulders.

"Brother Xiao, this way!" Cheng Zai's head came out of the power distribution room.

When Xiao Mo saw this kid, the corner of his mouth twitched, "I knew you couldn't help but run down. How did you escape the monitor?"

Cheng Zai said proudly: "Of course I have my own way. Brother Xiao, where is my mother? Who is that on Brother Xue's shoulder?"

Xiao Mo regretted that he didn't ask Cheng Zai the way to sneak in here first, so maybe they wouldn't have to confront Bao Yuezhi and the others face to face, but it's too late to say anything now, besides, the fifth floor underground is densely covered with surveillance cameras, in the research room and in the passage. They can also be divided into different routes, as long as they contact Chang'e, they will definitely be discovered.

Xiao Mo here is still thinking about how to answer Cheng Zai's question, but Xue Lihong over there has already spoken first: "The person on my shoulder is called Bao Yuezhi, who is taking your mother away and using your mother as an experimental subject, day and night. Tortured, not treating her as a human being, the culprit who conducted all kinds of inhuman human experiments on her."

Cheng Zai's expression was stiff.

Xue Lihong then said with a righteous face: "I promise your mother that I will bring this enemy of hers to her and let her solve it herself."

Cheng Zai's eyes became blood red, "Brother Xue! Where is my mother? She...she..."

"This is not the place to talk, go to the water room first."

After entering the water room, Xue Lihong dropped Bao Yuezhi and fired at the ground around the sewer entrance.

When a circle of bullet holes appeared on the ground, Xue Lihong threw away the short charge, took out his saw blade, plunged into the ground hard, and stabbed in each of the four directions, finally pulled out the saw blade, and kicked the ground vigorously with one foot.

"Crash!" The stone fell, and the entrance of the sewer was enlarged by a large circle.

"Wait for me here, you two guard the door." Xue Lihong pointed at the water room door and jumped down the sewer.

A few mercenaries who stayed outside heard the gunfire and ran over.

Cheng Zai took the lead to shoot, and Xiao Mo didn't hesitate anymore, anyway, his marksmanship is not very good, and he can hit wherever he hits.

Xiao Mo shot and shouted to the outside: "Bao Yuezhi is dead, I have captured Linghu, and the grain depot and weapon depot are all controlled by the military. You don't need to work for Bao Yuezhi anymore!"

There was a pause for a moment before someone shouted back, "Evidence!"

The evidence came, and the voice of Colonel Ma Xiang sounded from the broadcaster in the whole building: "People in the back building listen up, Bao Yuezhi's illegal human experiments on the fifth basement floor have been exposed, and we have obtained evidence. According to the national According to the law, Bao Yuezhi and the accomplice Wang Jinian have been arrested and controlled. The other accomplices, I order you to put down your weapons and surrender immediately, do not resist, or they will all be killed on the spot!"

The radio sound was repeated several times, and the gunfire outside was completely muted.

In fact, Ma Xiang and Xiao Mo's words were a bit conflicting, you could hear it if you listened carefully, Xiao Mo said that Bao Yuezhi was dead, but Ma Xiang said that people were under control, but no matter what it was, the fighting spirit of the mercenaries had been dispelled.

And David and others who were running to the fifth basement floor through the safe corridor with the remaining mercenaries also stopped.

The mercenaries didn't panic, but they all looked at David, "The military seems to have taken control of the entire base, and even our side was invaded by them. It must be their fault that the elevator can't be used. Now even Bao Shao All……"

David had a headache, "I don't know if something happened to the head, and it hasn't come up until now. Let's go to the fifth basement first to see if the head is still alive."

The leader of their mercenaries is Linghu, and they are not in the same system as Bao Yuezhi's other group of people. They used to be... oh, never mind, one wrong step, one wrong step, and eventually they had to be trapped. To the point where he is controlled by others and has to work for the kind of people he hated the most before.

In the water room, Xue Lihong came up carrying the angel girl.

Cheng Zai turned around when he heard the voice, and was stunned on the spot.

"Do you think this is your mother?" Xue Lihong signaled Xiao Mo to help the angel girl regain her sanity, and he guarded the gate of the water room instead of the two.

Xiao Mo originally couldn't revive the person who was anesthetized by anesthesia, but now he has the destructive ability, can expel the anesthesia ingredients, and helped the angel girl repair a little bit of body, he focused on repairing the angel girl's brain, hoping that her human side has not yet recovered. disappear.

Who would have thought that this repair would directly cause his energy to drain like a flood.

But the effect is also remarkable, the damaged part of the angel girl's brain is gradually being repaired.Xiao Mo didn't move the pineal gland, he was afraid that if he did, the angel girl's abilities would disappear.

Cheng Zai walked up to the angel girl, knelt down, took off his jacket to cover her body, and hugged the angel girl's upper body.

"Mom..." Cheng Zai burst into tears.He thought his mother had left City H long ago, but he didn't expect that she was right under his nose, and he was still looking for her everywhere!

The body of the angel girl moved.

Xiao Mo was exhausted, grabbing the energy crystal to replenish energy, while distractingly reminding him, "She is about to wake up, you'd better let her go, we don't know how much humanity she still has."

Cheng Zai glared at him.

Xiao Mo made an apologetic expression, "She has an angel virus on her body. Although I helped you get rid of it once, I didn't make you immune. If you don't want to trouble me anymore, please let go of your mother and retreat to a safe distance."

Xiao Mo grabbed the angel girl's right wing and was ready to kill her with his destructive ability at any time.

Cheng Zai was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Mo and the others, so he had to let go of the angel girl and backed away a little.

The angel girl's eyelids trembled.

Xiao Mo yelled at Cheng Zai: "Call her, tell her not to do anything."

Cheng Zai immediately shouted: "Mom, it's me, your son Cheng Zai, mom, can you hear my voice?"

The angel girl opened her eyes...
