femme fatale [unlimited]

Love raised her hand, holding a piece of light gray test paper between her fingertips.

She said: "When I was waiting for Mianmian to come back, I briefly tested the concentration of toxins here."

Ning Mianmian's heart moved, she leaned over to look at the test strip, "The toxin concentration has been rising?"

Love nodded, "Although it's not very obvious, you can still see subtle changes if you look closely. And I'm more sensitive to poison, and my body can sense something wrong."

Hearing what she said, Jiang Wan immediately obeyed the arrangement, "Then let's set off quickly."

Ning Mianmian checked the route with the map on her mobile phone. The destination is located in the outskirts of the city, more than ten kilometers away from their current location, and because it is too remote, there is no direct subway or bus. The fastest way is to take the express bus to At the terminal station, walk a short distance after getting off the bus.

By the time I got on the bus, it was past eight o'clock in the evening.This bus is unmanned, and there are not many people on board, probably because the area that this line passes is relatively desolate, without large residential areas and shopping malls.

As the bus gradually approached the terminal, there were fewer and fewer passengers on the bus.When there were two stations away from the terminal, all the other passengers got off the train, and they were the only ones left in the carriage.

Due to the presence of other passengers just now, everyone did not discuss the dungeon-related content, just thinking silently in their hearts.Now that there is no one else, everyone relaxes a little.

Love asked Lin Cen: "Have you gained anything?"

Lin Cen shook his head, "No."

Just now, she and Ning Mianmian were checking Li Xinjie's cell phone along the way, but they found some new clues.

Fluffy took a piece of bread out of her backpack, put it in her mouth, and leaned against the backrest.

She took a big bite of the bread and said vaguely: "What is the disaster of this dungeon? It hasn't come out yet, and I'm too calm."

The dungeon requires them to survive for five days, and now a day and a half has passed, but they still don't know what the so-called "disaster" is.

Love looked at the light gray test paper in his hand and said, "Actually, I think the disaster will be linked to this inexplicable toxin."

Rong Rong wondered: "No way, didn't you say that our medicine can detoxify?"

Love said: "It is possible now, but if it continues to develop, the antidote may not be easy to use. Now ordinary NPCs and newcomers respond to the toxin, but if the concentration of the toxin is getting higher and higher, the toxicity will become more and more effective." The stronger it is, the stronger it may not affect us."

Ning Mianmian thought: "If there are inevitable toxins everywhere, it will indeed be called a disaster."

"Also, I have another discovery," Love said.

She showed the test strip in her hand, "I took out this test strip as soon as I got on the bus. At that time, there were about twenty people in the car except us. At that time, the color of the test strip was medium gray."

"Later, other passengers got out of the car one after another, and after we were the only ones left in the car, the color of the test paper gradually became lighter again."

Jiang Wan said: "In other words, the more people there are, the stronger the toxin will be."

As Ning Mianmian listened, she suddenly remembered Lin Cen's inference.

If people are the source of toxins, they can truly be invisible.

Jiang Wan also thought of this, and she asked Love, "Is it possible that the human body is poisoned? Could it be that someone really transformed some of the inhabitants of this world?"

Love said: "There is no such technology in our world, but with the development of technology, many impossibilities become possible. Just like you said to an ancient person, there is a device that allows two people who are thousands of miles apart to communicate with each other. He also thinks it is impossible to communicate. But in fact, mobile phones can do it.”

"It's just that I always feel that if such a large-scale body modification is carried out, the movements are too big. Could the government not be aware of it, or even acquiesce? It doesn't make sense logically."

At this time, the mechanical female voice of the station announcement sounded, "The terminal is here, please take your belongings and get off from the rear door of the vehicle."

So the discussion of several people came to an end for the time being, and they got out of the car one by one.They traveled quickly along the route on the map for another section, and arrived at a barren mountain forest.

Everyone stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. The pale moonlight outlined the black outline of the mountain range, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the evening wind.From time to time, there were two mournful birdsongs in the distance, which made people tremble.

Ning Mianmian took out Li Xinjie's cell phone and reconfirmed the location of the destination.

She said to the others: "I need to go up the mountain."

Lin Cen asked Love: "How is the toxin concentration here?"

Love sighed and showed the test strip in his hand, "It's raised again, even higher than when I got in the car just now."

Thinking of the conclusions that everyone had deduced before, Rongrong shrank behind her, "What's the matter, don't they look like a lot of people on this mountain?"

Thinking that there might be many people hiding in the forest in front of him, and they might be looking over silently at this moment, a chill ran up his spine.

Love said: "The probability of wrong test strips is extremely low, so be careful."

Although I don't know the origin of these people with poison, but the people who appear here so late will not be good.Several people summoned their weapons one after another, and Love put a protective cover with anti-virus effect on everyone, and prepared to go up the mountain.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and they turned around, only to see some familiar faces.Qingshan rushed over with three female teammates, followed by many people, who looked like players from other teams.

When Qingshan saw Ning Mianmian and the others, his eyes lit up, "What a coincidence, let's go together."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace. The people behind him were a little nervous when they saw such a group of people with high-end weapons, but when they saw that they were people Qingshan knew, they all relaxed again.

Lin Cen looked at the group of people and asked Qing Shan, "How did you find this place?"

Qingshan hastily explained: "We also met halfway, and after asking each other, we found out that each team met someone who was wrong, and then followed all the way down, and we all came here."

Tao Ran, one of his teammates, seemed to be afraid that they would not believe him, so he added, "Didn't you tell us to talk to the waiter who asked us for help? Same, don't remember us."

Others agreed one after another, saying that their own team was also in the same situation. They encountered a similar situation and were slowly drawn here in the process of collecting clues.

Lin Cen didn't make a statement, but just glanced at Love.Ning Mianmian understood the meaning of Lin Cen's eyes at a glance. She was asking Love—is she going to take them with her again?

As she expected, Love said loudly, "Everyone, the concentration of toxins on this mountain is very high. Before going up the mountain, you must use anti-virus skills or props."

The players who have made it this far are more or less aware of the existence of the toxin, and even if they obey the arrangement, fancy skills and special effects come and go one after another.

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Lin Cen said "Let's go", and then walked in the first place. Jiang Wan held a long sword and followed closely behind with a murderous look.

At the back is Love, Ning Mianmian and Rongrong are sandwiched by the three of them, a very secure position.The other teams followed Ning Mianmian and her team carefully.

The mountains at night are very quiet, only the sound of people's footsteps and the rustling of leaves.The flickering light of the flashlight can only illuminate a corner of the long, narrow and deep road, and the end of the road is hidden in the boundless darkness.

There are withered fallen leaves everywhere, exuding a rotten smell.The dense clouds in the night covered most of the moonlight, and the vision became extremely poor, so everyone did not walk fast, but chose to move forward steadily.

When they were about to walk halfway up the mountain, Lin Cen and Jiang Wan, who were walking in the front, exchanged glances and stopped in unison.

Ning Mianmian was a little nervous, and was about to ask, when Love shouted, "Everyone, be careful, there's something nearby!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a small grinding sound, as if something was crawling on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Mianmian felt a cold touch on her ankle, and an arm stretched out from the bushes by the roadside, holding her ankle tightly.

But after experiencing so much in the dungeon, Ning Mianmian is no longer the little girl who screamed at the slightest thing.Her eyes changed, and the crossbow in her hand swung down vigorously, hitting that arm heavily.

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, there was a cry of pain from the bushes, and the arm was quickly retracted in a twisted posture.

Ning Mianmian looked up, and saw more and more black shadows protruding from the bushes on both sides, approaching with fangs and claws. The road was narrow, and several players were caught off guard and injured when they couldn't dodge. The situation became chaotic.

The scythe in Lin Cen's hand shone with a dazzling silver light. With a wave of the blade, several silver lights flashed, and the ghost who was showing off its power just now turned into a pile of flesh in an instant.

Jiang Wan's eyes were even more red-eyed, and the sword energy around the black sword almost enveloped her whole body.Her figure passed by quickly, and wherever she went, no armor was left behind.

The number of ghosts was very large, and Ning Mianmian held the crossbow and repelled more than a dozen black shadows that rushed forward one after another.However, those ghosts seemed to be bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. They temporarily bypassed her team and turned to attack other players, giving her a chance to observe.

With the pale light of the flashlight, Ning Mianmian finally saw the appearance of those things clearly.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

In previous dungeons, she also encountered all kinds of ghosts, most of them were ferocious in appearance, they only knew to attack players indiscriminately, like beasts.

But these ghosts in front of them look too much like humans.They are dressed in ordinary clothes, male and female, ranging in age from teens to thirties. If you only look at their appearance, they have almost nothing to do with ghosts.

If you had to describe the sense of incongruity, it would probably be that this group of people was so ordinary that it was as abrupt as being picked out of a subway car in the city and thrown here.But it is such an ordinary group of people who are attacking the player crazily at this moment.

These people must be controlled by something, right?

Thinking of this, Ning Mianmian hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, two figures rushed forward again.

Ning Mianmian came back to her senses with a jerk, and before she could dodge in time, she raised the crossbow to take the blow.

However, just before the figure touched the body of the crossbow, a long and narrow black figure came winding like lightning, directly breaking the necks of the two ghosts.

At the same time, Lin Cen's voice sounded not far away, "Mian Mian, don't be soft, they can no longer be called human beings."

Ning Mianmian collected herself, observed those things carefully, and indeed saw some clues.

At first they looked no different from ordinary people, but as the battle became more intense, the faces of these things gradually became hideous, some hands and feet gradually grew sharp claws, and their eyes became hollow and loose; some bodies seemed to be inflated His muscles swelled up, his muscles twisted, and blue veins floated up on the surface of his skin.

Ning Mianmian was a little annoyed, and looked at Lin Cen who had already walked beside her and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry sister, I distracted you."

She thought she was strong enough for ordinary ghosts to handle it, but she didn't expect to make a mistake because of a momentary hesitation, and she was very dissatisfied.

Originally, Lin Cen and Jiang Wan were the main output of the team, and she didn't want to hold back.

Lin Cen raised his hand and cut the two ghosts in front of him into several pieces.

"Nothing." She raised her hand, wiped off the blood on her cheek with her fingertips, and looked over with a smile, "Don't you want to exercise, don't worry, do it, I will protect you."
