Temptation on the tip of the tongue

The medical soldier removed the metal glove from Teddy's hand, exposing his deformed fingers.

The broken finger bones and dried blood made the hands look particularly miserable.

The medical soldier said, "You are amazing. You can run so far even with your hand broken."

Teddy cared about running for his life and grabbing food from Kuaiyin along the way, his fingers had already been completely numb. Now that he took it off and saw that it was bloody and bloody, Teddy ran into Chen Xiaoxiao's arms with a howl of fright.

The medical soldier was about to bandage him, but when he saw a small bundle of black blood vessels on his hand, his expression became serious.

Starting from the wrist of the left hand, a thin line went all the way up. Although the area was small, it spread along the blood, like a small sapling.

After absorbing the nutrients of the human body, it will grow and grow until the host is squeezed dry.

The medical soldier stood up, walked out quickly, and found Loki who was talking to the doctor in the corridor of the base: "Your Highness Loki, I think you need to take a look at this place yourself."

As a Ph.D. in the field of biology, Ralph has fallen into an endless loop in research. The hair loss on the top of his head, which was already bald, has become more severe, and now there are few hairs left.

The medical soldier led Loki and Dr. Ralph to the room where Teddy and Chen Xiaoxiao were.

A small medical room for combatants to treat minor wounds.

The metal table in front of the two people was covered with white gauze covered with black sticky blood.

After Dr. Ralph sat down, he obviously saw the black blood vessels on Teddy's wrist immediately, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked Teddy to clearly explain what happened.

However, Teddy was most afraid of seeing himself injured. At this moment, he was so frightened that he buried himself in Chen Xiaoxiao's arms and shivered, apparently unable to speak properly.

Chen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to hug him tightly, described what happened to them underground, and finally said:

"I can guarantee that Spider-Man didn't bite Teddy directly in the end. The wound on his hand was only formed by metal pressure, and didn't you know that? People who have been bitten by zombies will mutate within 15 seconds, Teddy Nothing happened so far."

Dr. Ralph sighed: "Xiaoxiao, this is an extremely tenacious virus. We currently believe that after Teddy was injured, you were too late to clean the wound for various reasons, resulting in a small area of ​​infection."

"But I think this will be an extremely rare opportunity. Since Spider-Man has been infected by other viruses, his genes are different from those of humans, so the virus has mutated twice on him, and the expansion is extremely slow."

"And this new type of virus attacked Teddy, who is a mutant, and made his left hand lose the pain."

He cut open the intact skin on Teddy's left wrist with a knife, but no blood flowed out.

Ralph looked at Teddy absent-mindedly, with a hunter's smile when he got the prey: "Really, it's so rare."

Dr. Ralph was analyzing, when he suddenly saw Chen Xiaoxiao hug Teddy tightly in his arms, and showed him a threatening look: "I won't let you use Teddy for live experiment."

…Just like the third district, the living people are treated as guinea pigs and constantly injected with new viruses, and the experimental subjects are allowed to die painfully.

Absolutely, no.

Dr. Ralph said embarrassingly: "But you must admit that a part of his body has become zombie."

"And you also know that we are different from the third district, and we will never give up the life of the experimental product easily."

"Xiaoxiao, I know that after you escaped from the laboratory in the third district, you were full of despair there, but right now not all the research troops are the same as the third district."

Chen Xiaoxiao protects her weaknesses in an unusual way.

Chen Xiaoxiao said stubbornly, "I don't care."

"Teddy is mine, and none of you can take it away."

A sharp light like a blade flashed in the little girl's eyes.

Loki stood with his hands behind his back for a long time, and suddenly said: "Teddy can't enter the laboratory. Among all my subordinates, he is the only one who can make up for Chen Xiaoxiao's physical disadvantage. Once they are separated, the next task cannot be completed. "

A gleam of hope flashed in Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she looked up at him with emotion.

She suddenly felt that her short stature turned out to be a rare good thing.

Loki said: "And I think it would be more convenient for a subordinate who doesn't feel pain to perform tasks." As he said, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Xiaoxiao: "Don't you think so?"

Chen Xiaoxiao nodded quickly: "I agree, I agree! Boss, you are right!"

Loki glanced at the two of them, and his eyes gradually filled with hostility: "But Chen Xiaoxiao, don't forget that you are my subordinate, and you have no right to say that any of my subordinates belong to you." He said, pointing Alice and Gail in the distance: "I plan to trust your loyalty, you don't want to be like them, do you?"

As the price of cheating, he completely turned Alice and Gail into his own puppets.

Looking at the unfocused pupils of the men who tried to betray him, Loki's eyes showed a look of indifference.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaoxiao immediately said like a dog: "I promise, I will never dare!"

She knew that the boss of the alien was not easy to deceive, he was the god of lies.

Chen Xiaoxiao glanced apprehensively at the fairy wand in his hand—that terrifying thing that could completely assimilate a person's consciousness.

A short-term agreement was temporarily reached, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

Loki turned his head and asked, "Ralph, how long will it be before Teddy completely turns into a zombie?"

Ralph took a tube of blood from Teddy's arm and saved it: "His immune system should be far inferior to Spider-Man's. According to this rate of spread, the virus will most likely spread to Teddy in less than a week." Heart. If we don't make any progress in research at that time, he will become a real zombie."

Chen Xiaoxiao felt bitter in her heart, she complained to herself, "It's all my fault, I should have cleaned his wound in time."

In this situation, Loki quickly made a decision: "Your little mutant friend gave me a very interesting suggestion."

"I very much support you to go to the Xavier Academy of Talents with him and bring back their research results."

Chen Xiaoxiao looked up, surprised: "Huh?"

Rocky said coldly: "I don't do business that loses money. Teddy doesn't need to enter the laboratory, but he must play his best role before he completely becomes a zombie, so he will go with you to carry out this mission. "

"The silver-haired mutant told me that Charles has made achievements beyond the reach of others in the field of mutants fighting viruses. If you can bring back the research results they made, maybe he can still be saved."

"But I don't want to lose another obedient subordinate, so if he becomes a zombie before you complete the mission, I hope you can stop making unnecessary struggles and blow his head off in time, understand?"

Chen Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised: "That means Xavier School has a serum that can save Teddy!"

Loki: "...it depends on your luck. At least when that mutant kid of yours begged me for help, he made the conditions very attractive."

Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Okay! I'll go!"

She had decided to help Kuaiyin this time, and it would be great if she could find a drug to save Teddy.

So, after sending Teddy back to the house to rest, Chen Xiaoxiao immediately found Kuaiyin who was wandering around the base.

According to him, since the outbreak of the zombie wave, he has not had a chance to sleep peacefully for a whole month, so he is in desperate need of sleep.

But Chen Xiaoxiao didn't care about him. After rushing into the room where he was, she picked him up roughly and shook him awake: "Teddy is infected."

Kuaiyin was still extremely sleepy at first, but after hearing this, he was dazed for a long time like a wandering soul, then he woke up suddenly, and said in surprise, "...huh?"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "I want to tell you, for Teddy, I will help you with this."

Kuaiyin opened his mouth: "What?"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Didn't you tell our boss? Professor Charles has made incomparable achievements in the field of viruses and mutants, so as long as we rescue Dr. Charles, Teddy will be saved, right? ?”

Quicksilver was stunned.

He opened his mouth weakly, but hesitated to speak.

However, there was a dry hoarseness in his throat, which made him unable to speak anyway.

After a while, he met Chen Xiaoxiao's hopeful eyes, and a deadly sense of guilt rose from the bottom of his heart.

For a moment, he wanted to tell her the truth.

Kuaiyin grabbed her hand violently, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually—"

There is something stuck in the bottom of my heart, and I am eager to talk.

Paper can't hold fire, and lies will show their true colors sooner or later...

But...but...

The pair of clear and clean eyes in front of him blinked, revealing the light of hope.

Kuaiyin seemed to have been bitten by something, and he withdrew his hand like lightning.

She didn't know that in this era, all hope is fatal.

He frowned, forced a smile, and forced himself to say: "Yes, as long as you find the professor's underground laboratory, Teddy will be saved."

As he said that, he reached out and patted Chen Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "I said, don't you need a rest? You have been spinning for 24 hours without blinking an eye, why are you still so energetic?"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "When I first found out that Teddy was infected, I was really sad to death, but fortunately we met you, and I learned about Xavier School from you, so I have hope again."

"If Teddy really died, I would probably go crazy."

She said, showing a bright smile: "So, I am really looking forward to going to Xavier School for an adventure!"

Kuaiyin said with difficulty: "Even if it is possible to go and never return, or return empty-handed?"

Every time he said a word, he felt that every word he uttered was like a rusty knife, cutting his dry and hoarse throat, causing dull pain.

Chen Xiaoxiao spread her hands, with an indifferent look on her face: "I'm so powerful, how could I go and never return."

As she spoke, she patted her airport-like flat chest confidently: "I'm just like a virus. I can always fight to the end. I can't die."

After all, he stretched out his hand and slammed Kuaiyin's shoulder heavily: "Take a break, we're leaving soon. The doctor said that Teddy's time is less than a week away, and we're going Get rid of Xavier College one by one!"

A tone of confidence.

There is a willful smile on his face.

Although the arms are not long, and the small fists are not big at all, the hammer on the person's shoulder is full of pain.

Reluctantly, Kuaiyin kindly reminded: "Zombies in Xavier College can't do it, be gentle."

"..."

Chen Xiaoxiao immediately lost half of her anger.

"I declare that starting today, Charles Xavier is not even one of my gods."

After Chen Xiaoxiao returned to her room, she found Teddy sitting in the corner waiting for her eagerly.

Chen Xiaoxiao poured out all the ingredients hoarded in the system, and gave him a small supper banquet.

Teddy sat on the ground, his eyes were so bright that they were about to shine.

【The remaining ingredients are being liquidated】

【Guoguang Small Apple x5】

【Brassic rice x1】

【Lemon x1】

【Fujian Zhangzhou Tianbao Banana x12】

【Gaoyou salted duck eggs x2】

【Fried Peanuts x100g】

Chen Xiaoxiao felt that Teddy's eyeballs were about to fall out.

They haven't eaten fresh fruit since the first week of the zombie outbreak.

Chen Xiaoxiao took out a military knife and soaked the lemon slices in water, then dug out two sugar cubes from under Teddy's pillow where the food was stored, and put them in the lemonade. The two of them ate the fruit facing each other.

The lemon exudes the unique fragrance of fresh fruit, and the natural sweet and sour smell blends together, giving Chen Xiaoxiao, who has been eating canned food for a whole month, the illusion of being drunk.

She kindly peeled an apple for Teddy. This kind of Chinese specialty apple is extremely small, and Chen Xiaoxiao is ruthless, so there will not be much meat after peeling it.

Then, Chen Xiaoxiao, who was peeling apples hard, found Teddy squatting on the side, stretching out his hand to grab the remaining apple peel she had peeled and eating happily...

Chen Xiaoxiao: "..."

All right, all right!you eat!

She simply turned her back with the Apple, turned on her little broken computer, connected to the internal network of the base, and began to check the information.

There are two information points she has been paying attention to recently. One is the whereabouts of her "possible" father candidate, Mr. Magneto.

As always, no show.

The other is that Brandon Eisenhower, the ruler of the three districts, has recently tinkered with something new.It has to be said that among the eleven existing districts, although Brandon is the most perverted and his methods are extremely cruel, the experimental progress in the third district is the fastest, which is really annoying.

Since the split of the central government, although the eleventh districts are interoperable with each other, their governing philosophies are different. Brandon, known as the murderous general, was originally an outstanding war hero, but since he took power in the third district, more and more live experiments have been done. , Rumors naturally spread outside——

Brandon already hated mutants, and once voted for the mutant registration bill.

This turmoil became the best time for him to massacre mutants.

People think that if mutants are compared to Jews, then Brandon is a new generation of Hitler.

Chen Xiaoxiao dragged the information down while nibbling on the apples. The aroma of the apples spread in the closed room, and the fragrance was heart-warming.

Inside the reddish-green peel is the light green flesh. The sweet and sour taste is just right, the flesh is very crisp, and the aroma is very attractive. Unfortunately, this kind of apple is too small to eat.

Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly discovered a terrible thing, she was so frightened that the apples dropped——

The bastard Brandon didn't create the latest antibodies, but he managed to upgrade all the equipment for hunting mutants!

She was looking dazed when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Turning her head, her hair was disheveled, and her silver dangling head almost blinded her eyes under the light.

Kuaiyin walked over with a sigh and shrugged: "I'm sorry, I can't sleep anymore."

Teddy hugged his snack tightly.

He came all the time, so Chen Xiaoxiao naturally wanted to share an apple and a bunch of bananas with him.

Kuaiyin looked at Teddy's hand holding his food, and saw black lines faintly exposed under the white gauze.

My heart sank.

However, when the words came to his lips, they were swallowed again.

Kuaiyin, who originally liked fresh food the most, took over the hard-to-find apples and the hard-to-find bananas, but the way he looked at apples and bananas was like looking at zombie meat.

Kuaiyin said, "Xiao, I have something to tell you."

"In order to suppress the ability of the second-generation zombies, Professor X turned on their equipment. After this electromagnetic field is formed in the school, all the zombies are no different from ordinary people."

Chen Xiaoxiao immediately became excited: "Really? Great!"

In this way, the difficulty of breaking through the level has been greatly reduced!

Kuaiyin's head lowered and deepened: "However, this is an ideal situation, because the equipment is defective, so the zombies will... recover their superpowers from time to time."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "Ah...that's a little tricky, it's okay, we don't have to be afraid, it's just occasionally..."

Kuaiyin's head was almost buried in his chest: "That's right. But the electromagnetic field works on both living people and zombies, so after we go in..."

"After we go in..."

"It becomes a normal person."

"The time we can use the ability is random."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "..."

Don't let anyone stop me, let me die! !

She just said it!The fast silver guy's super speed movement is simply cheating, how could he still need to be helped by someone!She originally thought that there were a few zombies inside that could defeat him, but who knew that the environment inside could kill him at all!

When Quick Silver becomes "Slow Silver", then he has no other use except that his silver head can be used as a small light bulb!

The three of them faced the second-generation zombies of a school, and if they didn't shoot, they were going to die.

Chen Xiaoxiao said desperately: "Then can you please contact Professor X, please ask him to turn off the instrument when we go in to save people, and turn it on again after we leave?"

Kuaiyin replied sincerely: "The professor has lost contact with us."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "..."

What about the promised road to heaven?
