The Scavengers

October 10th, ten o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Mo, who was squatting on the third floor warehouse repairing the base car, also asked Xue Lihong the same question.

He secretly tried to repair those living dead virus carriers several times, but the living dead virus, like the angel virus before, did not infect a certain part of the human body, but invaded the whole body.Healthy cells begin to mutate after encountering the living dead virus, and the slowest mutation is the brain.

Now, with the addition of a new virus carrier they found, that person is also a supernatural being, that is, these four supernatural beings can still slightly suppress the virus, but they also have low-grade fever and severe headaches since yesterday.

Xiao Mo can only try to help them improve their body immunity, that is, the virus destroys, he repairs, and repeats like this.Now he visits those virus carriers sooner or later, and every time he pretends to check it, he is actually helping them repair it.

The unconscious ones didn't know, but the four who were awake definitely sensed what he had done to them.This made the researcher who had the worst impression of them, who would speak ill at first, now smile at him when he saw him.Not to mention Linghu and Kang Lu, but Linghu was more silent, while Kang Lu was more hopeful about the future.

Speaking of Kang Lu, Xiao Mo couldn't figure out one thing: "Kang Lu is Ni Wei's cousin, right? Ni Wei relies on his cousin to get into the base. How could he give his cousin the virus?"

Xue Lihong lay on the scooter and slid out from the bottom of the scooter, "Ni Weineng wanted to kill Zhang Di because of a slap in the face, regardless of the other party's life-saving grace. His cousin didn't even plan to open the door at the beginning. Of course, maybe his cousin just Forced, but as long as Ni Wei knows that his cousin voted yes at that time, I am afraid that he will hate her for the rest of his life. Moreover, if he wants to take power, his cousin may not only not be able to help him, but may even block his way. But if Kang reveals As Kang Lu's cousin, he has shown certain abilities, so it will be much easier for him to accept Kang Lu's resources and power."

"This person's mind is really small." Xiao Mo could only shake his head.

But Xue Lihong had a different opinion, "A person like Ni Wei may be a bit narrow-minded, but he is cruel and vicious, and he still has a certain amount of brains and means, plus there is a breeder system to help him. Dream. If it wasn't for his bad luck, you would be the one who died now, not him."

Xiao Mo exhaled, and for some reason came out a sentence: "So there is another me you admire more? Do you want me to replace him?"

Xue Lihong: "...Are you jealous?"

"Fart! Fix your car, don't mess with me again!" Xiao Mo wiped his face and continued to fix the car.

The internal composition of the base car is very complicated, he can't repair it all at once, he can only do it little by little.

Xue Lihong was always messing around, modifying or adding some functions to the vehicle from time to time. In addition, he also found some precious materials from other warehouses, and added them to the base vehicle as long as they could be added.

Of course making trouble is just Xiao Mo's venting words, Xue Lihong never messes around in the place he wants to repair, but waits for him to repair it before considering adding or subtracting some functions.

Xiao Mo himself also likes machinery manufacturing, and occasionally he will do it with Xue Lihong.Because of his special ability, he can find problems in time every time he has a problem, and he can also give a lot of good advice. He has really helped Xue Lihong a lot. There is still a certain gap between the design and the practicality. He is a genius. This problem cannot be avoided, but with Xiao Mo, it is different. If there is a problem with the newly added or deleted functions, as long as Xiao Mo fixes it, he can start over, saving Xue Lihong a lot of work?

Cheng Zai is also very interested in this base car, but the communication room cannot do without him, so he can only find time to hide in the toilet and use the walkie-talkie to ask some content to satisfy his addiction. Just like a thief, he has to read it first. There is no one around, and the toilet door dare not close.

The corners of Xue Lihong's lips twitched, his boss will act like a baby with him now, not bad.

Xiao Mo picked up the handle that had just been repaired, opened the cover, and checked the Rubik's Cube that Xiaohong called the engine.

This is the power source of the whole car, the heart, and the most difficult part to repair.

If he hadn't seen the real thing, he would never have believed that such a box the size of a household medicine box was filled with semi-permanent nuclear kinetic energy.

Did he carry a nuclear bomb or a nuclear bomb?

However, the shell of this nuclear bomb seems to fit perfectly, just like the future black technology products in movies and TV shows, and the surface is engraved with mysterious patterns that are completely incomprehensible.

Now he knows why the scientists at Yucai Research Institute left this car behind. First, they just removed the engine from the car. If it wasn’t for his ability to repair it, he could draw a [-]D map of the whole body of the car in his mind. There is another little friend who seems to be very familiar with black technology beside him, he can't even find the engine anywhere.

Secondly, they found the main body of the engine, but how to open it?

Regarding this question, Xue Lihong came over and glanced at it and said, "I'll leave it to you."

So my dear workman, is there anything in this world that you can't do?Xiao Mo, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, could only continue to ponder with black technology.

The three-dimensional map in his mind was outlined and scattered, and he couldn't stabilize it several times. Xiao Mo was so angry that he took off his gloves and threw it on the ground. His aching brain told him that he needed to absorb another energy crystal, but he didn't move.

The super chariot that Xue Lihong expects can be slowly repaired and remodeled. Anyway, they won't be able to get out for a short time, but his mission can't wait.

Seeing that there is still one day left before the time limit for the task, since last night, as time passed, he began to become more and more anxious. Repairing the base car could not calm him down, but instead made him waste a lot of energy. Fix a small spare part.

It was probably because of this anxiety that he blurted out what Xiaohong thought was jealous.

"Do you want to take a break?" Xue Lihong's voice reached his ears.

Xiao Mo thought for a while, then put down the box, "Do you have any good solutions? I mean those carriers of the living dead virus?"

"Kill them all."

"...other than that? Imagine if it was you or me lying there."

Xue Lihong sat up, "Then others will kill us. Of course, if I can still move at that time, I will definitely resist."

"Maybe we can tell them the truth, and then..."

"Tell them the truth, but then what are you going to do? Give them a gun so they can blow their own heads off before turning into a zombie? Boss, have you watched too many zombie movies? And you don't want to finish the mission ?”

"Then what do you say? Are you really going to kill them like this? If they have turned into zombies, there is nothing to say. I will finish them without you urging me, but they are now...they still have hope, right? Maybe Some of them can resist the virus of the living dead. First of all, Linghu and the others might be able to overcome it. Forget it, it’s all talk, it’s pointless to argue about it, I’ll go and see them.”

Xiao Mo got up and left the warehouse, walking hurriedly without looking back.

Xue Lihong clicked her tongue softly, jumped up and followed.

When Linghu and the others saw Xiao Mo appear, the researcher was the first to rush to the glass wall, pressed the call button, and shouted eagerly: "Doctor Xiao, is the virus on us confirmed? What is it?" Virus? Can it be treated?"

Xiao Mo opened his mouth, he wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn't guarantee how these people would behave after hearing the truth.

Kang Lu came over, she was calmer, "Doctor Xiao, please tell us the truth about what you know, don't hide it from us, since we are all going to die, I would rather die to understand." This one doesn't know about her cousin yet.

Linghu didn't come over, he was changing the glucose water dripping for an unconscious patient.In the past two days, the six comatose patients were all kept alive by intravenous drip.

A boy who seemed to be around ten years old also came to the glass wall, "Uncle Xiao, my head hurts, when can I see my parents?"

Xiao Mo's eyes were completely focused on this child, Lin Xiaofei, the No.10 they found was also the last living dead virus carrier that Ni Wei made.

"Uncle Xiao?"

Xiao Mo's body trembled slightly, "Cough, wait a minute, I'll show you right now."

There is a small room outside the big room where these people are kept.

This was originally one of the monster confinement rooms and observation rooms used by Bao Yuezhi. The large room inside is relatively large, and there are toilets and showers. Xiao Mo and the others moved in ten camp beds, and it wasn't too cramped.

There is a transparent glass wall between the large room and the small room for observation, allowing Xiao Mo and others to see the patient's condition from the outside without going in.

Every time Xiao Mo repaired them, Xue Lihong brought them out one by one and brought them to the small room.

Seeing Xiao Mo coming to open the door, the researcher's eyes moved. He had already noticed that the thugs and bodyguards who usually followed Xiao Mo were not there, and even the soldiers were waiting outside.

The door opened, Xiao Mo asked Lin Xiaofei to come out, the researcher turned his heels and wanted to follow, but at this moment he saw the tall and thin thug coming in.

The researcher stopped immediately, he didn't want to be beaten again.

Xiao Mo carried the child to sit on the observation platform, touched his trouser pocket, and took out a chocolate.

This was stuffed by Xiao Hong this morning, and he was not willing to eat it.

When Lin Xiaofei saw the chocolate, his eyes sparkled biubiu, but this child is well-behaved, he only looks at it but doesn't ask for it.

Xiao Mo grabbed his little hand and put the chocolate in his hand, "Eat it later."

"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Xiaofei smiled so much that he showed his small mouth with missing teeth.

Xiao Mo rubbed his soft hair, pulled the high stool, and grabbed the child's wrist to start the treatment process.

Holding the chocolate in one hand, Lin Xiaofei tilted his head to look at Xiao Mo, his calf dangling gently on the observation platform.

Xue Lihong stood in the corner and did not disturb them.

Xiao Mo's "treatment" for the child was very fast, and he repaired the diseased cells in his body in less than 10 minutes, but the virus did not disappear, and it was floating nearby.

In fact, Xiao Mo's ability has improved a lot compared to when he first helped Cheng Zai expel the angel virus, even better than when he helped Ms. Chang'e, but what he has improved is the repair ability, that is, he can repair the diseased cells now, But it is still impossible to eliminate or expel the excess virus in their bodies.

It stands to reason that when the living dead virus combines with healthy cells to cause disease, and he repairs the cells, the virus should disappear together.But his current repair is more like separation, that is, to extract the virus from the diseased cells. Although the two are separated, the two are retained.

I should be able to do more!Shouldn’t repairing mean repairing what’s broken, making up what’s missing, and removing what’s redundant?

"Your Majesty, is there any way to quickly advance my abilities?" Xiao Mo asked the system in his mind.

System, "Complete the task, complete the task a lot."

Well, it doesn't work.Xiao Mo forced a smile at Lin Xiaofei, and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Lin Xiaofei felt it for a while, shook his head, and asked again: "Uncle Xiao, when can I see my parents?"

"In two days, wait until your condition stabilizes."

Lin Xiaofei blinked, "Then when is two days? Every time my dad said that he would buy me toys, he always said that two days would be two days, but these two days are really long."

Xiao Mo laughed, and lightly pressed the child's head, "Little elf, wait...after noon tomorrow, if you don't have a headache at that time, you will be able to see your parents."

"Really?"

"real."

The child stretched out his little finger, "Hanging on the hook, the deceiving nose is long!"

Xiao Mo didn't hook up with the child, he carried the child off the observation platform and sent him back to the big room inside.

The child waved to him after entering, and then ran to help Linghu.Regardless of how small the child is, he can tell which of the three sober adults is the one who will really take care of him.

Linghu met Xiao Mo's eyes, and nodded slightly to him.

Xiao Mo squeezed out a smile, called Kang Lu out, and repeated the inspection and repair actions just now.

Kang Lu's physical condition is similar to that of a child. Because of the frequent repairs, there are not many diseased cells in her body.

The situation of Linghu and the researcher is the same, both are within the repairable range.

But for the six comatose people, Xiao Mo had nothing to do, the diseased cells in those people had already developed to the brain, and no matter how hard he tried, those viruses stubbornly refused to separate.

What is the difference between the cells of supernatural beings and those of ordinary people?Why can I repair the diseased cells of Linghu and the others, but not those of these six ordinary people?

After completing this round of repairs, Xiao Mo couldn't stay here any longer, especially he didn't dare to look at Lin Xiaofei's yearning and innocent eyes.

On the way back, Xiao Mo suddenly punched the wall.

Xue Lihong couldn't stop her, and grabbed his hand, "Boss, calm down."

Xiao Mo really couldn't calm down, and really couldn't think of a way out!It is one thing to kill Ni Wei, but quite another to kill the "sick" innocents.

The mother of the gluttonous beast in the first level mission also hurt people first and then turned into a monster, so he could suppress his usual moral values ​​and force himself to do it.

Even those brave heroes who dare to fight against villains will not rush up and stab them to death or shoot their brains out with a brick when they see someone committing a crime against other humans or animals. The idea of ​​stopping the assailant, if you really accidentally kill the assailant, most of them are killed by mistake.

Of course, now is a troubled time, and the constraints of law and morality have dropped to the lowest point. Many people feel that it is ridiculous to still hold the concept of peacetime at this time. Let alone killing people for righteousness and killing in the name of righteousness, killing people is revenge and self-preservation. That is also justified.

Someone like Xiao Mo who clearly has a reason to kill but refuses to do so will make people laugh and look down on him.

Xue Lihong didn't make fun of Xiao Mo, nor did she get annoyed by his indecision.He is ruthless and able to make the most correct judgments because he has lived many times longer than Xiao Mo and has seen and experienced too many things.

Just like a doctor, when they see a patient who died of illness for the first time, they will feel sad, cry bitterly, blame themselves, and reveal everything, but after a long time and a lot of experience, they still have sympathy and sadness in their hearts, but they will no longer It will not hurt so badly, but will treat the patient's departure more rationally.

That's why some people speak harshly, that is to say, they send a few people in front of you and tell you: kill, if you don't kill the earth, it will be destroyed.There are also children and women among them, can you really move your hands?

Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo, he was very worried.I was worried that this person would not be able to bear such a heavy pressure, nor would he be able to bear the huge condemnation of conscience, and the choice would just be wiped out by the system.

As far as Xiao Mo's character is concerned, it is really possible to do this.

So... with 24 hours left, what can he do to prevent tragedy?
