Zhang Heng looked at the distance with his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave the No. 7 residential building first.
"The system seems to be in a very bad state. It stopped working before the content of the task was released, but it was said to be an urgent task. Oops, it's so confusing..."
Zhang Heng walked down the fire escape, still mumbling, like a talkative old woman, constantly struggling with the price of vegetables in the market today, complaining that the vendor did not give him a handful of green onions after the transaction. some type of.
However, after nagging about it, Zhang Heng finally decided to go to the Wogo Supermarket mentioned by the system. After all, although the emergency mission has a time limit, the rewards after completing the mission are also quite rich.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there are also those eggs that need to be dealt with..."
Zhang Heng patted his head and hurriedly turned around and walked upstairs. He did not walk on tiptoe like Lu Yu and others, but ran up the stairs.
It was like an ordinary young man living in a peaceful era who suddenly remembered that he had left his keys at home and hurried back to get them.
There is no need to worry that the movement will attract the attention of zombies or other monsters.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Heng ran back to the 13th floor, but he did not linger in front of the giant spider corpse. Instead, he jumped, stepped over the corpse, and ran towards the 14th floor.
As Zhang Heng continued to move upward, the cobwebs on the surrounding walls became more and more dense. By the time he reached the 14th floor platform, the density of cobwebs had reached a terrifying level.
He seemed to turn a blind eye to the changes in the surrounding environment. He twisted his body lightly, got out of the fire door on the 14th floor, and came to the corner of the suspended corridor.
Normally, after someone steps into the corner, the voice-activated lighting will light up in time to dispel the darkness around the corner.
But now that the disaster has broken out, the city's power supply has been paralyzed, and the lighting in the corridors relies entirely on sunlight from the windows. In a closed environment like the corner, it is naturally dark and dark, making it difficult to see.
As Zhang Heng moved forward, a gentle buzzing sound like a mosquito's rotor gradually sounded from his left arm. After a while, soft white light shined from his palm, illuminating the darkness ahead for him.
Wherever the white light reaches, clusters of closely arranged spider eggs appear. Each one is about the size of an adult's fist. They are light yellow in color and are distributed in the deepest corner of the corner.
Near Zhang Heng's feet, several eggs had hatched, and the little spiders inside had long since disappeared. Only some blood-tinged mucus was left, exuding an indescribable fishy odor.
The spider eggs located in the corner began to tremble slightly after being swept by the light, as if they could already feel the changes in the outside world.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng frowned slightly and muttered softly.
"The incubation cycle is so short. It seems that it needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise it will be bad if it hatches."
As he spoke, the white light in the mechanical palm dimmed and turned into a faint green light.
Next, Zhang Heng was like a little girl picking mushrooms, squatting on the ground and "touching" the spider eggs one by one.
All the spider eggs that were touched by his mechanical left arm trembled violently, and a large number of cyan light particles poured out from them, and they got into the gaps of the mechanical arm like swallows returning to their nests.
But the absorption process of each spider egg is not long, it only lasts for about five seconds. The cyan light particles are absorbed completely, and the spider eggs under the palm become gray and shriveled, without a trace of life.
"Finally, I have absorbed the source of life essence completely. There are actually 5 cells. Not bad. I wonder if there are any missing ones?"
A soft white light lit up again in the darkness. Zhang Heng looked back and forth for the spider eggs on the ground, and rummaged through them carefully. After making sure that there were no missing spider eggs, he patted the non-existent dust on his hands and turned towards Walk downstairs...
On the other side, Lu Yu and others had already reached the entrance of the underground parking lot. They had just turned on their flashlights and were about to go back to their home through the underground parking lot.
The reason why everyone did not choose to go back from where Lu Yu came was because there was a penetrating wound on Ma Long's leg.
Although the spider legs temporarily blocked the wound and no large amount of blood flowed out, Lu Yu did not dare to bet on whether the zombies' sense of smell was sensitive enough to smell the bloody smell in the air.
Naturally, everyone had no objection to Lu Yu's caution. There were three wounded in the team. If something happened on the way back, it would be a disaster for them all.
As everyone wishes, although the six of them were on tenterhooks on the way home, fortunately they did not encounter any danger. When Xiaoran picked up the key placed by the door and successfully opened the fire door, everyone finally relaxed. After taking a breath, they filed in one after another.
Everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they enter this residential building, it is equivalent to entering a safe zone. As long as no particularly ferocious zombies or monsters appear, their safety is still guaranteed.
After watching Xiao Ran lock the fire door at the basement entrance, Lu Yu put down Ma Long on his back and ran up the stairs in one breath.
In the process of going upstairs, Lu Yu also reminded Uncle Ni who was waiting on the first floor to inform him that everyone had returned safely.
He, who had just carried Ma Long down the stairs, was now completely exhausted. The purpose of going upstairs was just to call Yan Hanben down and ask him to help.
Zhang Ning didn't seem to feel very tired. Seeing that Xiao Ran planned to stay where he was, he said hello to Ma Long and carried Zhang Jike upstairs first.
When Xu Xiaoxiao saw everyone going upstairs, he followed them with his head covered. Although the girl's movements were not greatly affected, she still had to go upstairs to disinfect her head after all.
For a moment, only Xiao Ran and Ma Long were left at the entrance to the basement.
Both of them were silent, staring at each other. Finally, Ma Long couldn't resist the awkward atmosphere and took the lead in starting a conversation.
"Well, Xiao Ran, Lu Yu said before that you were also infected by the virus and recovered. Is this true?"
The little girl nodded calmly, without any fluctuation in her eyes.
Ma Long opened his mouth and smiled helplessly when he saw that Xiao Ran had no intention of answering.
In fact, he was not familiar with the process of viruses infecting the human body and then recovering on its own. The reason why he knew this information was because his superiors temporarily informed them before going on a mission.
In addition to a lot of information about zombies, the rest of the information is a description of survivors like Xiaoran who were infected by the immune virus.
According to the information Ma Long received, infected people like Xiao Ran who had been infected by the virus and successfully recovered without turning into zombies were collectively called enhancers.
As for the description of the enhancers, the information only tells that these recovered infected people will gain strength after waking up from coma, or have a significant improvement in intelligence. Those with special physiques can even break mountains and crack rocks like supermen, and discern everything like a detective. .
"Xiao Ran should be an enhancer who has greatly improved his intelligence...
Ma Long thought secretly in his heart.
"That girl Xu Xiaoxiao, I was wondering why her muscles are so strong. I thought she was King Kong Barbie. It turns out that she was also a strengthener who survived the virus infection. It seems that her strength must have been greatly improved..."
"If I get infected, I don't know if I can successfully survive the virus infection..."
Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a rush of footsteps coming from above his head.
Ma Long looked up and saw Lu Yu and Yan Han running down one after another.
Seeing the shocking wound on Ma Long's leg, Yan Hanben couldn't help but take a breath, but at Lu Yu's urging, he quickly carried Ma Long on his back and walked upstairs quickly.
Lu Yu came to Xiao Ran, touched Xiao Loli's head with relief, and held her hand as they walked up the stairs.
The two of them did not trot upstairs like Yan Hanben, but walked slowly step by step. Lu Yu wanted to say something, but seeing the pensive look on the little loli's face next to him, he did not speak rashly. He just walked slowly with her.
"Tell me, who saved Zhang Ning and the others?"
The little Loli frowned, her delicate little face full of doubts.
"Huh? It was probably the person who informed me that I was going to rescue them through the radio..."
Lu Yu took a deep breath, and a suspicion flashed through his mind.
But this guess was so bizarre that Lu Yu immediately denied it the moment it appeared.
"But why would he do this?"
Xiao Ran seemed not to notice the change in the expression on Lu Yu's face and continued to ask.
"Maybe? To protect Zhang Ning and the others?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously expressed his judgment.
"But the message from the radio asked you to rescue him instead of Yan Hanben? You must know that you pretended to be injured before, but nothing happened to Yan Hanben."
Xiaoran looked directly into Lu Yu's eyes and continued.
"It means that the person who saved Zhang Ning did not know Yan Hanben, but he knew you!"
"He knows that after you hear the news, you will believe the authenticity of the content and go to the rescue."
Lu Yu was stunned. He really hadn't thought about it in detail. He just thought that the radio might just randomly call a name and asked them to send people to rescue.
"you mean?"
Lu Yu opened his mouth slightly and asked with some uncertainty.
"I speculate that the unknown hero who saved Zhang Ning and others, and the person who sent you the distress signal on the radio, should be Zhang Heng."
"But how did he know that Zhang Ning and the others were in danger, and how did he know that my wound had healed? Could it be that he..."
When Lu Yu said this, he couldn't help but tremble, recalling the scene when Zhang Heng communicated with him.
'Actually, I am a time traveler'
"Is it possible that he is really a time traveler? Is that why he knows so clearly what we will encounter?"
Lu Yu murmured, finally confirming the most unrealistic guess.
"At present, this judgment is most correct."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and quickly accepted the conclusion.
"The question is, he was not involved in our operation at all, so how did he know these details?"
Lu Yu spoke quickly, constantly comparing everyone's appearance with Zhang Heng's in his mind.
"Long hair, slanted bangs, eyebrows like sharp swords, and a black mole between the eyebrows..."
But after a round of comparison, Lu Yu was frustrated to find that no one in the team looked similar to Zhang Heng. In other words, Zhang Heng should not be a member of their team who traveled from the distant future. protect them.
"Hey wait..."
Lu Yu suddenly stopped and stood on the spot and exclaimed. In his mind, Zhang Ning's mean look when he winked at him suddenly flashed across his mind.
"Zhang Heng's eyes seem to be exactly the same as Zhang Ning's! They both have peach blossom eyes!"
