The noise has died down.
District 9 is already on the edge of the battlefield, and a war at the other end of the city will not spread to it. But there was something wrong when there was no sound at all.
At this moment, Lu Ning felt a slight chill on the tip of her nose.
It's raining.
It was drizzling lightly, and dark clouds were gathering in the sky, which seemed to be getting bigger. With Yang Qingyu's warning still ringing in her ears, Lu Ning took a step back and returned indoors to avoid being poured directly on her body by the rain.
"It seems... whenever this time comes, it always rains."
The smoke in the distance has been covered by the rain, and both the sirens and the light and shadow of super powers have disappeared, as if the two parties have agreed to stop.
She called Ye Nai and got a busy signal.
The people he wanted to contact began to be unable to be contacted. Looking at the dark clouds billowing in the sky, Lu Ning felt a little uncertain in his heart.
[You'd better just give it up as soon as it's done. 】
"I thought you wouldn't talk to me."
[It doesn’t matter if you die, you will use my body. I don't want to bet my fate on a brat who has no courage at all. 】
"To be exact, I'm older than you."
【……】
"I just have a little time. I want to know how you think in your heart after you did those things? Don't you feel guilty?"
[Good people feel guilty. 】
Lu Ying's voice was filled with pride.
[I want to make it clear that I do not bully others for reasons such as gaining recognition or exclusion, I just like it. 】
"You call that bullying?"
[Can you understand the reason why a child crushes an ant? It is obviously a disgusting process where dirty things turn into an unknown substance on their fingers, but many children still enjoy it. When you feel that life has completed its final bloom in your hands, especially when it was created by your own hands, the joy is simply unparalleled. The death of the weak is the only way to please the strong. You have killed many people, right? Do you admit that when a life passes away in your hands, you feel a fleeting sense of relief in your heart? 】
"No."
[It’s boring, just forget it if you don’t admit it. After all, humans are also animals. The instinct to kill is an innate instinct of any living being. I just follow this instinct and enjoy it. 】
Lu Ning was no longer interested in correcting her after hearing this.
The car lights in the distance shone, and a black car swerved and parked steadily into a nearby parking lot. Mora got out of the car, and the rainwater automatically separated from the left and right sides of her head without falling on her body.
"Has it been processed?"
"It's easier than expected here. The management structure left by Fidia can easily be taken over. How is District 10?"
"After killing seven, Dominance was rescued by a guy who could fold space. District 10 is now completely under control. It's a pity that provoking a war is impossible."
Yes, who knew that the resistance in District 10 would be so weak?
"When you're done here, just go back to Area 3. I didn't expect Dr. D to give up the area he managed so easily..."
"Wait, Moira, did you pay attention to the fighting on the road when you came back?"
After listening to this, Maura thought about it carefully and realized that it was unusually quiet along the way.
This group of superpowers flew into the sky and escaped to fight without any concept of area. Even outside the core battle zone, there would be people popping up, but Moura really didn't encounter any of them when she returned.
"What's Rabbi Lins up to?"
"He should not have been suppressed, but there must have been some changes on the battlefield that caused both sides to choose to stop at the same time."
"You stay in the third area tonight, I will prepare a room for you. Don't go to the second area." Moura contacted the observation post on the front line and frowned, "What's wrong... There's a riot in the second area. , a dozen professors led by Remington led students to launch a protest against District 1, and it was an armed protest."
Lu Ning immediately thought of the zombie group that Ye Nai mentioned before.
"Did he bring out the research results?"
"The main battlefield is surrounded by zombies, cutting off the reinforcement supply lines of both sides. Those students also carry strange weapons, like energy guns. It's interesting... There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this city."
Now that someone is involved, Maura doesn't mind entering the room later. After giving the order to continue monitoring, Lu Ning was taken back to the orphanage in District Three.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the rain actually stopped. Lu Ning didn't sleep well. She got up early and tried to contact Zhao Xihua and Ye Nai again, but still couldn't get through.
In the restaurant, Moura's men have prepared breakfast. It is a Western-style meal with a variety of varieties. Lu Ning took two pieces of bread and sat down to listen to several subordinates report on the latest situation on the battlefield.
Remington led his people to block the gate of the Area 1 Research Institute for nearly a day and a night. Rabbi Lins had no choice but to show up, but the moment he appeared, he was attacked and killed by a sniper sent by the C loop, which forced Rabbi Lins to reveal his abilities.
"Cycle?" Moira frowned slightly when she heard the name.
"Yes, according to on-site feedback, Rabbi Lins did shout these two words at that time, and the actual effect was just like the literal meaning. A certain process was continuously cycled, and the long-distance sniper attack was caused by this Blocked in a certain way."
Moira turned to look at Lu Ning.
"I think it might be true. Since he can't obtain materials, then repeating the production process is also a way to use it. It's just that this ability can ignore the birth and destruction of matter and produce a large number of homogeneous objects. It might as well be considered that not only space, Even time can be caught in a loop," Lu Ning said.
"This ability is a little tricky even for me. How far can Rabbirinth block an attack?"
The latter question was about his subordinates.
"It happened between nearly fifty and seventy meters away, and it was completed instantly." His subordinates quickly reported.
"He has a further 'range' than me." Maura tapped the table lightly, lost in thought.
Of course, she is familiar with some of the most important information about superpower combat. Now that Labillins will show off his power in front of others, he is probably relying on his ability to crack it, so he plans to establish his authority as well. But in this case...
Suddenly, another subordinate hurried in.
"Lord Moura! The latest situation is that those snipers found that they could not pose a threat to Labillings, so they changed their targets!"
"What did you say?"
"They shot Professor Remington! Now the zombies are pouring into the first area out of control! Some superpowers are infected, and the entire first area is in chaos! Those students were not attacked for some reason, and they all fled back to the second area. !”
Before Maura could react, new news came over.
"Lord Moura! The biochemically modified human troops have been dispatched from the first area!"
"What?" Maura's voice was full of doubt.
"They are people who have been specially transformed and many parts have been mechanized. They are very powerful in combat, and they seem to... have unified superpowers."
"What did Rabbi Lins do?" Moura couldn't sit still and stood up hurriedly, "Unified superpowers? This is simply impossible. Superpowers are determined by individual differences in human beings and cannot exist in the world. Two identical ones - is he sick?"
"Cultivation in the incubator, electronic brain control, except for the flesh and blood, which are still living things, the rest are unified robots, so the superpowers stimulated are also the same." Lu Ning said what Mo La had not finished, "So this paragraph Time Lab Billings has been sifting out the most suitable super power templates for legionnization, and then using the ability of recycling to produce soldiers and ability stimulating devices at the same time... He may have thought that this was a sure thing, but he didn't expect the C circuit. Direct orders to kill Remington led to the early implementation of this plan.”
"I don't care what those people are thinking! If this continues, this city will only turn into ruins! Let's go there now!"
Mo La was a little angry and quickly arranged a vehicle to take Lu Ning with her to the intersection of District One and District Two. The closer you get, the more you can smell the rotten and smelly smell of death.
The first to appear were the so-called zombies.
Remington's specially modified viruses have all the advantages of zombies, including bloodthirsty, fearless pain, and mania. Their bodies are the most advantageous weapons, and none of them are the so-called slow-moving types. They use their sharp claws to climb between walls and the shadows of buildings, rushing out at any time to launch fatal attacks. They are simply a group of professional killers. Naturally, the most terrifying thing was their extremely powerful ability to infect. Lu Ning could even see a few tall biochemical zombies that were half-mechanical and half-flesh. Although these big men were powerful in combat, they would still be infected after being scratched.
The area near the entrance to Area 1 was like a meat grinder.
The zombies and the cyborgs had a face-to-face exchange of fire here. The mechanically driven bionic can smash the heads of zombies with just one punch, crushing two of them to death, but it will inevitably be scratched by the surrounding zombies. Some biochemicals were covered in flames, and some were covered with a transparent shell. Ordinary zombies could not get close to them, but the zombies transformed by superpowers began to break through their defenses through various abilities.
Just near the battlefield, a man wearing a black woolen sweater stood with his hands lowered.
Maura parked the car next to the man.
"Professor Gunk?" Lu Ning rolled down the window and recognized the man, "Why are you here?"
"Let's see Rabbi Lins' self-destruction." Gunk's eyes were filled with compassion. "He spread the seeds of desire with his own hands and reaped the consequences of sin. We originally had some ideas in common, but it's a pity..."
"You know Rabbi Lins?"
"Yes, District One and District Two have had some cooperation on scientific research and other projects." Gunk turned his head, "Speaking of which, have you met my students? Ever since you asked me a strange question that day, I will never find her again..."
Lu Ning didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"She's dead." Moura answered the question directly, "She may have been too close to the fire. And you, Professor Gunk, why did you come to such a dangerous place? Or... you are confident These zombies will never hurt you?"
There was suspicion in her eyes.
"This expression of yours is really nostalgic... Wei Yin is dead? Then what I told her may have contributed to her death." Gunk smiled sadly, "I thought she could reveal something, so that I You can also prove that you are wrong, but now it seems that if you get close to the truth, you will be swallowed up."
"What? You are from District 2 -" Moira reacted instantly, but Gunk's speed was no slower than her.
"Chronicles of the Hollow."
At this moment, the world turned gray in Gunk's eyes, and countless messages poured out of him and merged with the outside world. Then, a blue rose badge jumped out of Lu Ning's pocket and jumped into Gunk's hands.
"This history will no longer exist. You just have to observe this battlefield from a distance and stop. You have never met me or communicated with me..."
Gunk said as he slowly walked away.
And after he left——
"The combat effectiveness of those biochemicals is too average." Mora frowned and looked out of the car.
"This will make it easier to manage as an army. Rabbi Lins is rapidly mass-producing such a team. Once the number is accumulated, it will become a force that cannot be underestimated."
Moira and Lu Ning were seriously discussing the battlefield in front of them.
Time is still passing by as usual.
The two discussed for a while and roughly determined the combat effectiveness of zombies and biochemicals.
As far as the results at hand are concerned, there is no doubt that the biochemical people are victorious. Even with such a close combat method, each biochemical person can kill six or seven zombies before being infected and mutated. But the uncertainty here is whether the zombies will gradually start attacking indiscriminately.
The behavior of continuing to block the first area without attacking the students was obviously not something that an irrational zombie could do. Remington must have left some restraints before his death, but no restraints can last forever.
"Some have already begun to move to the flanks. This number is really quite a lot." Moira frowned, "And viruses are the most likely to mutate. We don't know what kind of distortions will occur after being infected by superpowers."
Just as Lu Ning was about to answer, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from behind her head:
"Lu Ning! I finally found you!"
This voice was all too familiar to her, so she immediately turned her head. Not far away, above an overpass, Jumonmon Yana was waving vigorously to her side.
"Ye Nai!"
"I can't contact you! I didn't find anyone when I got home! I ran around in a big circle, and all the communication equipment was inexplicably unusable! By the way! I already know-"
"Don't talk so much now! Come to me right away!" Lu Ning's expression suddenly changed, and he interrupted Ye Nai's words sternly.
"ah?"
"The cutoff of contact is the result of superpowers! Then the time when you can meet me now is the most dangerous time!"
The moment when the plane landed was the most likely time for accidents to occur, and the moment Ye Nai saw Lu Ning was also the moment when she relaxed slightly from the tension that had been tense for nearly a day and night.
