Doomsday Egg

——And at this moment, he is like an animal pouncing on food, with his limbs downward to suppress the man on the ground.

"... Cole?"

Kelan called out cautiously.

Although he yelled like that, he was actually not confident that this boy was the same boy as before—although he couldn't see clearly because of the red film, but he was already very different from Lilith's in terms of face width and body shape. access.

The boy in the red membrane paused, then arched his back, hissing like a warning.

"Okay, I'm not going," Kelan stopped and squatted down on the spot, trying to keep himself in line with the other person's line of sight, "You don't recognize me?"

The boy tilted his head and looked at him, but still maintained the original posture. The red mucous membrane on his body was continuously flowing down, gradually wrapping Phil.

His behavior reminded Kelan of some kind of silk-spinning animal that would coil up food for storage. Could it be that he was going to eat it...

"Stop! You don't know him anymore? He's Phil..."

Kelan is not sure whether this kind of communication is effective, so he can only try to do it as much as possible. It may be absurd to others, but he just has a feeling in the dark, feeling that it is the child who has been afraid of him before and clings to him desperately , intuition that this child will not forget himself because he grows up...

But... Just because he recognizes it, it doesn't mean he won't be jealous... After all, he wanted to kill him before—even if it wasn't an atrocity against his body, it probably didn't mean he didn't know.

His heart sank suddenly, and the self-confidence he had erected just now collapsed in an instant.

It seemed that he had to be mentally prepared to be attacked, and if the other party really wanted to harm Phil, he had to get rid of him decisively.

Ke Lan secretly touched the dagger at his waist, carefully observing the opponent's every move.

The young man let out a low grunt in his throat. While paying attention to Ke Lan, he moved his head close to Phil's body, as if he was smelling it. Phil turned over, brought his head close to his chest again, opened his mouth, bit the front of the clothes and began to tear.

"Hey, stop! Uh..."

Kelan thought at first that he was going to take Phil as a meal, but he soon realized that it was not. The boy wrapped in red film pulled out a piece of cloth soaked in red liquid with his mouth and threw it on the ground. Smell it with your nose.

Kelan remembered that it was the handkerchief Phil carried in his inner pocket. When they had a conflict before, Phil seemed to use the handkerchief stained with the blood of a child who was shot...

So... he really is the child from before, Cole!

"Go, go die, monster..."

At this time, a weak but resentful voice suddenly came from a certain corner. Kelan looked towards the source of the sound and found that Ken had woken up at some point, and his gas mask was flipped to the side of his head. , there was still blood on his forehead, and his hands...

He was holding the flame gun that Kelan had just lost due to the burst impact.

ACT18: Awakening

"stop!"

After Ken's killing intent became apparent, Kelan rushed towards him without thinking about taking the weapon from his hand, but it was a pity that he was a step too late, and the huge fire ball roared towards the red-membrane boy and Phil.

Because of the dazzling flames, Kelan didn't see what happened at that moment. He only knew that the two people who were up and down in the next second rolled into a ball. After turning around a few times, he realized that it was Phil The boy was hugged in his arms. Although the fire was basically burning on Phil's body at this time, the boy still let out piercing whines because of fear.

"Damn it, what's the mess!" Ken clicked his lips twice, and was about to increase his firepower, but he was immediately kicked over by Kelan.

"Damn you, go away!"

He roared and kicked Ken hard, kicked the flame gun far away, and then immediately turned to Phil and the boy - at this time, the fire was already burning because of the red film oil seeping from the boy's body Yuewang, the miserable cry pierced through the eardrums, and the boy writhed out of Phil's arms with strange screams, rolled and thrashed on the ground, and soon ignited the surrounding combustibles, and the fire quickly spread.On the other hand, Phil, who was dying, obviously couldn't move, and could only lie there and let the flames bully him.

No, we have to find a way to put out the fire!At least put out the fire on them!

In the middle of rushing, Kelan remembered what to do, but his coat had already covered Phil's face just now, and he didn't even have any emergency things... When he looked around, he noticed Ken who had passed out "again", so he didn't care. Without hesitation, he went up and took off his tight-fitting coat, and then flew towards Phil.

"Hey, cheer up! You're all right, talk to me, Phil!"

While dusting off the fire, Kelan called out loudly for his brother who felt that he was about to die soon.

"K... blue..." Phil squinted his eyes because of exhausting his strength, and whispered the name of his loved one in a very weak voice, tried his best to open his crumbling eyelids, and put his hand on the other person, "Save ...save Cole...please..."

"You idiot! You are still worried about that guy after what you have become!... I think he is hopeless, get up! Let's get out of here immediately!"

Kelan grabbed Phil's arm while dusting off the fire, but was swung away unexpectedly.

"Save him, Kelan, please, save him...the fire extinguisher is here..."

He pointed tremblingly to a certain corner.

"You! Got it, I'll save you! You wake me up, and you keep your eyes open!"

Kelan was so annoyed by Phil's stubborn attitude, he dropped Ken's coat and ran to the fire extinguisher. After successfully getting the object, he tripped over something on the way back and almost fell down.

Only then did he realize that several of Ken's subordinates had woken up, and one of them was grabbing his trousers, preventing him from going to the destination, while the others surrounded the red-membrane boy with utensils.

"It can't be saved! The mutated NIT is a demon, it will kill us, it will kill everyone!"

The man who pulled Kelan's trousers was crying hysterically.

His words could not reach Ke Lan's ears at all.

At this moment, in the eyes of a certain killer, only the poor boy who was crying and trembling surrounded by flames and a few men could only hear Phil's persistent pleading voice, and could only think of his sister Lilith who disappeared inexplicably because of being involved in this incident ——As a result, a rush of blood rushed to his head, and Kelan kicked the man's hand away fiercely, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and jumped forward into the men's encirclement like a lone wolf quickly catching prey. There wasn't a single extra word, just a few movements of the arms, and a lot of blood spewed out from the throats of the men!

"You don't have to worry about who is the devil now."

Kelan swung down the knife, picked up the fire extinguisher and sprayed foam at the young man—the flame that almost melted the red film was quickly submerged by a large amount of white, and it was about to go out, but at this time...

"boom!"

Gunshots sounded out of nowhere.

The sharp pain from the left chest made Kelan stop unconsciously.

He has a red hole in his chest.

Hole?How could there be a hole...?

By the way, this is an assassination scene that he is all too familiar with.

Only this time, he was the victim.

He was shot.

"Klan... Kelan!"

Not far away came Phil's yelling, but it sounded muffled, and it stopped in the sky after two yells.

"Uh...uh..."

Blood spattered from his mouth, and he clutched his chest, turning his head as best he could before falling to the ground, to look at his assailant—Ken.

... This guy who couldn't be beaten to death unexpectedly stood up again at some point!

"I didn't want to kill you, but you are too much in the way."

Ken's voice and face were just as vague.

Kelan propped his elbows on the ground, smiled wryly, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

He had a premonition that his high-risk occupation might be killed by others at any time, and he also thought about giving up his life for Lilith, but he never thought that the unknown person who would die because of... protecting an unknown creature white.

Trying to open his eyes, he saw the burnt red and black back of the young boy who was twitching and shaking.

Maybe it was a flashback, as if possessed by a demon, he arched his body and rubbed forward twice, stretched out his arms to wrap around the boy's body.

Really powerless... useless...

What is he living for in this life?

God, can't at least let him die for some value?

"I will protect you...don't worry, good boy, I will save..."

Muttering in a low voice, he stroked the boy's head soothingly.

"Boom!"

The two consecutive gunshots hit his ears and the boy's body, and his consciousness gradually fell into chaos.

"...I can't bear it, there is such an emotional killer."

Ken dropped the gun, wiped the bleeding gums that had been kicked just now, and looked around the silent space where the flames were burning.

Except for himself, everyone... died?

The price was too expensive, far exceeding his expectations—mainly because he never expected that anyone would have feelings for the NIT experiment subject, and would swear to protect him to the death...isn't it ridiculous?

"That kind of monster... If it wasn't for saving the life of some bastard, who would touch it! Damn... I'm going to lose my job now..."

Just as Ken was walking out of the warehouse, fanning the choking cigarette ash, he felt a little strange.

Not quite right.

If his intuition is correct, although the flames spreading throughout the room seem to be burning vigorously, from just now to now, there is no tendency to increase or expand at all - just like a bonfire placed in a furnace.
