Camouflage Alpha

Lin Xiao was taken away by mutants on the 9th floor.

Therefore, Xiang Shaoyang and Shen Yaochuan acted separately from the others on the 9th floor, looking for news of the mutant and Lin Xiao.

Nicole followed them out of the elevator and silently picked up Lin Xiao's arm.

"It's my fault." Shen Yaochuan looked at the blood on the ground and said softly, "I should have expected that I might be attacked by mutants."

His main research direction is not mutants, and a lot of relevant knowledge only exists in memory as theories.

Casualties were found during the on-site investigation. As a relevant professional instructor, he did not give early warning. Shen Yaochuan felt that he could hardly escape the blame.

But Xiang Shaoyang comforted him: "Don't blame yourself, if you want to investigate, you should first investigate me, the person in charge."

They followed the blood on the ground and the tracking direction displayed on the terminal.

According to the tracking map of the terminal, the green light representing Lin Xiao stopped in an office at the end of the corridor on the 9th floor.

"Mutants' hearing is very good, but research so far has shown that they can only respond to some very regular sounds made by humans. Footsteps, voices and mechanical sounds are relatively safe." Shen Yaochuan said.

His voice was very soft, and when Xiang Shaoyang heard it from the loudspeaker, he felt an indescribably cool feeling.

Xiang Shaoyang responded, "Okay."

Shen Yaochuan: "Their movements and cognition are more like beasts, they are hostile to humans, and they use humans as food. If our movements are relatively smooth in close contact, the probability of being attacked will be greatly reduced."

"Only two days have passed since the infection. According to the extent of the mutants' attacks on humans, he should not be starving now."

"Lin Xiao has a high chance of being rescued."

During the short distance of dozens of steps, Shen Yaochuan wanted to tell Xiang Shaoyang all the known research results related to mutants.

This is a kind of compensatory behavior out of his guilt.

To be an excellent person, to do excellent things, and never to make mistakes—this is Shen Yaochuan's consistent strict requirements for himself.

And now he made a mistake, which made his heart a little shaken.

"Dr. Shen," Xiang Shaoyang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped when he was approaching the office. He turned to look at Shen Yaochuan, "Calm down, no one is blaming you."

Shen Yaochuan is indeed an unusually rational person.

After saying this to Shaoyang, even though his mind was in a mess, his originally short breathing quickly calmed down.

He just said "yes", but his expression was as usual.

Xiang Shaoyang observed him for a moment, and explained: "We are going in, if something happens, don't block any harm for me, protect yourself."

Then turn around and move on.

The office door was ajar.

Xiang Shaoyang reached out his hand and gave it a light push.

After the door was fully opened, he saw that there was no movement in the office, so he cautiously walked to the door and looked inside.

The mutant who captured Lin Xiao was not there, but——

There were countless corpses with missing arms and legs piled up in the office, and a layer of turbid and oxidized brown blood accumulated on the ground, like a black pool of water.

A mutant who was only the size of a puppy, pale all over, with soft, multi-legged lower limbs was lying in the corpse.

He closed his eyes and breathed steadily, as if sleeping.

Shen Yaochuan judged almost immediately that this little one should have a mother-child relationship with the mutant who captured Lin Xiao just now.

These corpses are all food prepared for him by his "mother".

This is a rare "nurturing" behavior.

Most mutants will attack non-mutated relatives first, but if the relatives are also mutated, they will not treat them as they did in life.On the contrary, they are like strangers.

And the appearance of "nurturing" behavior means that this mutant has a very tenacious consciousness when it mutates, and has higher intelligence after mutating.

This happens more often in the role of "mother".

And Lin Xiao was placed next to this little mutant, his face was dead pale, obviously he had lost too much blood, and he had already passed out.

Xiang Shaoyang frowned, and asked in a soft voice, "I want to save Lin Xiao, what should I do?"

"I can only gamble." Seeing the situation in front of him, Shen Yaochuan couldn't help pinching sweat in his hands, "As long as the mutant doesn't wake up and doesn't call his mother, we will have a chance if we take Lin Xiao away."

A spider web-like crack appeared on Lin Xiao's outer mask, but fortunately, the inner mask was still safe.

For him, the most dangerous thing is the excessive blood loss from the wound on his arm.

"Wait for me here." Xiang Shaoyang said.

Shen Yaochuan walked into the office, carefully closed the door again, and watched for movement in the corridor through the crack of the door.

The mutant is not there, and it will come back at some point. Adult mutants have strong attack capabilities. Even if they carry hot weapons, they will make a huge noise after solving the mutant, which will inevitably attract other mutants. Come.

They had to be very careful, and the best way was to take Lin Xiao away quietly.

Xiang Shaoyang carefully climbed up the hill of corpses. These corpses seemed to have been treated by mutants. They were covered with sticky liquid, which had already begun to rot, and they felt very slippery and soft to the touch.

His movements inevitably caused friction between the protective clothing and the mucus, making a "poof" sound in the quiet office.

Nevertheless, Xiang Shaoyang's movements were very neat, he quickly grabbed Lin Xiao, tied him behind his back with a safety lock, and then climbed down from the "hill".

And just as he stepped on the ground and was about to leave with Shen Yaochuan, the baby-shaped mutant suddenly snorted and opened his eyes.

His eyes had no whites and were completely black.

These eyes looked straight at the two of them, and their eyes wandered between Xiang Shaoyang and Lin Xiao behind him.

"Go!" Shen Yaochuan said almost immediately.

But the mutant's speed was even faster, he opened his mouth, and let out a cry of "Aw", so sharp that it almost burst the eardrum.

Both Xiang Shaoyang and Shen Yaochuan had a "buzz" in their heads, and warm blood dripped from their nasal cavity.

This is not over yet, the black mutant who captured Lin Xiao earlier seemed to have some special ability, and it appeared in the office before the two of them could react, and even the door was still ajar.

He is like a huge lizard, covered with blue-black scales, his head is a meat ball made of countless eyes and a big mouth full of fangs.

Seeing a strange human being, he opened his mouth full of fangs, raised his paw amidst the roar, and slapped it out.

And it was only 2 seconds before Xiang Shaoyang climbed down.

The powerful claws landed on Xiang Shaoyang's head. Although he had consciously dodged, the mutant's movements were too fast.

The double-layer mask shattered, bloody and foul-smelling turbid air rushed into the nasal cavity, and the nosebleed from Xiang Shaoyang seemed to arouse the mutant's interest, and two mutants, one big and one small, surrounded him.

Since the mutant woke up, Shen Yaochuan's hand that had already reached into the bag finally took out a bottle full of liquid.

He uncorked the bottle without hesitation, and threw the entire bottle of liquid into the farthest corner of the house.

The mutants actually became interested in the liquid. They raised their heads, sniffed the smell in the air, and rushed towards the bottle.

Seeing this, the two immediately left the office one after another, and Xiang Shaoyang even locked the door from the outside.

Shen Yaochuan took out the blocking agent, and directly stuck it on Xiang Shaoyang's arm without saying a word.

Then the two took Lin Xiao to the elevator and went all the way down to the parking lot. It wasn't until they entered the armored vehicle that Shen Yaochuan took a deep breath of the abundant oxygen in the mask.

His heart was still beating violently, wrapped in the fear of escaping death.

Nicole started the car almost immediately, rushed out of the parking lot as fast as she could, and headed straight for the security gate of Area A.

Xiang Shaoyang put Lin Xiaoping in the car, removed the mask from the spare protective clothing and put it on his head again.

On the arm, Shen Yaochuan didn't feel much when he injected the blocking agent just now, but within less than a minute, it started to become extremely sore and heavy.

As if anticipating his question in advance, Shen Yaochuan's voice sounded just right: "The side effects of blockers are relatively large, and muscle soreness is only the first step. I suggest you adjust your breathing. Sufficient oxygen can properly relieve discomfort, and so on. There will be fever and allergy-like symptoms."

Xiang Shaoyang looked at him: "Thank you."

"I should." Shen Yaochuan said, he had dug out the medicine from the medicine box, and started emergency treatment for Lin Xiao's severed limb.

What he said was indeed right, and within two minutes, Xiang Shaoyang already felt dizzy.

He couldn't even open his eyes, his temples throbbed and throbbed, and even his brain seemed to be made into a paste, and it was still shaking and hurting.

He frowned, and in order to relieve his discomfort, he could only lean back and let his head rest against the inner wall of the armored vehicle.

My back also started to itch.

It is indeed a symptom of allergies, and Xiang Shaoyang is a medical professional, so he understands it very well. Since Shen Yaochuan said it, he is not worried.

He has great endurance, and despite the double attack of fever, headache and itchy allergies, he only looks tired on the outside.

Xiang Shaoyang frowned and leaned back in the chair, his eyelids drooping.

Just when he was in a daze of consciousness and was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly I heard a "hissing", and then my legs felt cold——

He woke up from his stupor and looked down.

I saw Shen Yaochuan pressing his hands on his thighs, there was a torn wound between the fingers, the flesh was deep, and black blood was bubbling.

It seemed that he had been hit by a mutant before, but the situation was urgent. At that time, his adrenaline surged, and he instinctively ignored a lot of pain, and he didn't even feel anything.

Only now did Xiang Shaoyang feel some pain in his leg.

His brows frowned even tighter, but he didn't say a word, watching Shen Yaochuan wash away the black blood with water, wiped the wound deeply and repeatedly, and then gave him a simple bandage.

In order to facilitate activities and increase sensitivity, the glove part of the isolation suit uses a new type of high-density material, which is characterized by thinness, tightness and fit.

Even though he was wearing protective clothing, he could still see Shen Yaochuan's hands, slender and thin, with round and small joints, and the shape alone was very beautiful.

Xiang Shaoyang's eyes fell on his hands, and he narrowed his eyes calmly.

Just when the armored vehicle drove out of the municipal square and went to the security gate of area A according to the original route, there were sharp and deep roars from the direction of the municipal building.

And the same calls sounded from all around, as if they were responding to each other.

Nicole finally let out an irritable "tsk": "Damn it's endless!"

She unscrewed the speed limit button and stepped on the accelerator hard.

The armored vehicle sped all the way, bringing out a billow of smoke and dust.

At this moment, a missile with a glowing heat was launched in a straight line in the air, passing the armored vehicle with a blue tail, and landed precisely on the innermost office on the ninth floor of the municipal building.

A loud bang.

Having already endured the trampling of many overweight mutants, the no longer strong municipal building was overwhelmed by this attack. It began to collapse from the side of the 9th floor, setting off overwhelming smoke.

Seeing the haze ahead, Deni cursed again: "Does the fucking Public Health Bureau want us to die!"
