"small bug?"
The deaf sheep raised his eyebrows when he heard this and nodded slightly.
"It is indeed possible. The insect's body fluid has a strange fragrance. I remember that you also smelled it at the time. And chronologically, I was indeed exposed to the insect before you, so my symptoms of hallucination were earlier than yours... …”
"Then it's all right!"
Seeing that the mystery was revealed, the girl immediately returned to her happy look. It seemed that the bruises on her body no longer hurt, and she jumped up happily.
"You really have the character of a child..."
The deaf sheep looked at the suddenly happy girl in front of him and shook his head helplessly.
"Let's talk to Soldier 1. The two of us are down, but it's still in the pit of the ruins..."
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about Private Number One..."
After tapping her forehead lightly, the girl immediately closed her eyes and tried to establish communication with the car-level zombies again in her mind.
When we were on the ruins earlier, the gray light mist thickened instantly, and the light spots of the car-level zombies were forcibly covered. In addition, Lin Tanying's body was rolled up by the deaf sheep's tentacles, and the connection was disconnected.
Without Lin Tanying's control, the car-level zombie in the center of the pit naturally regained its ability to move freely, but it did not have an independent consciousness like a deaf sheep, so it had to rely on instinct to wander around the bottom of the pit.
However, thanks to its lack of independent consciousness, even if it inhaled the hallucinogenic toxin released by the mutated creature with serial number 1158-1 [Luminous Mushroom Bug], there was not much confusion.
At best, it’s just scratching around in place.
However, these Lin Tanying and Deafyang didn't know that. They simply thought that the car-level zombies had not come into contact with the bugs on the ruins, so they were protected from dangerous hallucinations...
…
"There's nothing wrong with Private One, he's still the same as before, as strong as a calf!"
The girl stretched out her little hand and patted the car-level zombie's strong chest twice.
"How tall is your calf?"
Deafyang complained silently in his heart and ignored the joyful Lin Tanying. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the rotten tree roots at the bottom of the pit.
"What exactly is this? The roots left behind by some kind of mutated plant? How did this pit form? Could it be that there really was a powerful explosion?"
Mysteries poured into Deafyang's mind one after another, making his nerves that had finally relaxed become tense again.
"Oh, don't worry so much, as long as this thing doesn't pose any danger to us."
Lin Tanying's idea is very simple. If you can eradicate things that are dangerous to you, eradicate them. If you really can't eradicate them, avoid them. If there are no dangers to you, just leave them alone.
In short, if you can provoke them, provoke them; if you can't afford to provoke them, avoid them.
What's more, in Lin Tanying's memory, the gray haze in the center of the pit was very dense for a moment, so the girl came to the conclusion that the rotten tree roots in the center of the huge pit were not to be messed with.
Hide if you can.
"Just left like that?"
Although Deafyang also felt that what the girl said was reasonable, he was a little unwilling to leave like this.
Somehow, from the moment he saw the ruins, Deafyang felt that there seemed to be a voice in the dark, guiding him towards the pit.
It was as if there was something inside that he had to take away.
"Then what else?
, I am still naked, I need to find some clothes! "
"but I……"
"Oh, don't worry, it's important to find clothes! Let's talk about other things after we find clothes..."
Seeing that Deafyang was hesitant to speak, the girl urged him again and again, like a little girl dragging her parents along to buy new clothes for the New Year.
Seeming to be a little tired of being urged, Deaf Sheep had to put down the mystery in his mind first. Anyway, it was impossible for the rotten tree roots to grow legs and run away, so there shouldn't be any problem if he came later.
"Okay, let's go find some clothes first, and then we'll come back and see what's in this bunch of rotten tree roots..."
"no problem!"
After the discussion, three figures, one large, two small, left the ruins of Wogo Supermarket and walked towards the next block.
Not long after Lin Tanying and others left, a man wearing a gray and black jumpsuit walked out of an alley less than twenty steps north of Wogo Supermarket.
The man's stature is relatively shorter than that of an average adult male. Counting the height of his boots, he is less than 1.6 meters tall. Wrapped in a tight-fitting combat uniform, he is as lean as a stick. , with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a mustache between his lips, it looks like a bald-tailed mouse magnified dozens of times.
Logically speaking, since they have already given birth to a skin that looks like a mouse, their eyes should also have a sinister look.
But there was no trace of wretchedness in the man's eyes, instead there was a hint of insidiousness.
It's like there is a poisonous thorn lurking in the unknown shadow. Once you let down your vigilance, your life will be taken away quietly and immediately.
"Boss, they're gone."
A low report came from the small earphones. The man tilted his head as if moving his stiff neck. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the direction where Lin Tanying and others disappeared for a long time before speaking softly. ordered.
"Report the situation here to Lord Honglian. According to preliminary observations, the mutant creature No. 1158 has been wiped out most of its combat power, and its remaining specialness has yet to be evaluated."
"Okay, but..."
"But what?"
Hearing the questioning voice coming from the earphones, the expression on the man's face was obviously unhappy, and his already sinister eyes became more vicious.
"Aren't we going to report on the general-level zombies, and the aberrant body..."
"Hmph, idiot, didn't you see that the aberration with the octopus tentacles on its back has been recognized by the general-level zombies, and aberrations that can be recognized are not counted as uncertain factors stipulated by the organization."
A trace of contempt flashed across the man's face, and his tone was full of disdain.
"Everything must be reported to Lord Guren. Are you a newly weaned baby?"
"Uh, yes!"
The rat-faced man's rebuttal was very unpleasant, but the person in the earphone was not displeased at all. Instead, he responded with gratitude.
Just as the man was about to say something else, another man's questioning voice came from the earphones.
"Brother Yin, that's wrong. If the aberrant body with octopus tentacles was recognized by the general-level zombies, why would it attack the other party? This is different from the information given by the organization..."
This man is obviously closer to the rat-faced man, and he is not called the boss as before. Instead, he takes the rat-faced man's surname and adds the word "brother" as an honorific.
"This may be caused by the particularity of the residue of 1158. It is initially speculated that it may be caused by some kind of hallucinogenic toxin dispersed in the air."
Having said this, the man paused and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Sheep and Scorpion, you are the best. Wear a gas mask and head toward the center of the ruins from the west. I will come up from the north to meet you. Don't enter the pit without permission. Wait for me to join you. Do you hear me?"
At the end of the sentence, the rat-faced man's tone actually became a little confused, completely different from the steady and soft voice before.
After a long moment of silence, a lazy reply came from the earphones.
"Don't worry, Brother Yin, how could I move around without your order? You must know that you saved my life. I cherish this second chance, okay? Also, after the mission is over, I want to give people a good reward tonight..."
The woman's unique melodious voice echoed in the headphones of each team member. The woman whom the rat-faced man called "Sheep Scorpion" actually directly opened the public channel, and it seemed that she planned to say something more provocative.
"We're on a mission now, please keep your attitude straight..."
Hearing Sheep and Scorpion's provocative words, the rat-faced man turned pale and quickly lowered his voice to scold him, but the principle that good fortune never comes alone and misfortune never come alone always comes true at the critical moment.
Not long after he finished speaking, another voice came from the earphones again.
"Yin Ji, is this how you carry out the tasks assigned by the organization?"
The voice was round and full, implying an unquestionable pressure.
The person who asked the question was the person the rat-faced man was afraid of, his immediate boss, Guren.
Honglian's question caused the rat-faced man's already pale face to completely lose all color. He stooped unconsciously in panic and quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.
"Lord Honglian, no, it should be Yang Xiu's abnormal behavior caused by her not having passed the strengthening period. When the mission is over, I will take her back to the research institute for psychological diagnosis."
"Hmph, you'd better not cause any trouble for me!"
Guren snorted and then exited the public channel.
Hearing the prompt in the headset, the rat-faced man breathed a sigh of relief, took out the gas mask hanging on his waist, and put it on his head.
Scattered around the ruins of Wogo Supermarket are the group of escorts who escaped from Research Station No. 7 - the assassination team.
And this rat-faced man who is putting the gas mask on his head is the current leader of the assassination team, Yin Ji.
After escaping from Research Station No. 7, all members of the team received organizational orders to go to Research Station No. 22 to receive all reinforcements, and were directly led by Guren.
There are five people in Yin Ji's team. Excluding the unlucky guy who died at Research Station No. 7, there are currently four people who can move, namely team leader Yin Ji, sniper Mao Jiarui, assaulter Yang Xiu, and operational substitute Wu Qi.
Although Yin Ji was very resistant to the order issued by the organization to strengthen the entire team, the current situation left him no choice. He could still survive by obeying the order. If he betrayed the organization, the only thing waiting for him would be death.
With the mentality of taking a gamble, the entire assassination team accepted the enhanced experiment.
The strengthening experiment went well. The four members of the Dark Assassination Team, including Yin Ji himself, were all successfully promoted to strengtheners. However, Yang Xiu had some problems during the strengthening process, although in the end he did not turn into a zombie that could only drink blood and eat flesh. , but there has been a huge change in temperament.
"Oh, Sheep and Scorpion were not like this before. This damn intensive experiment..."
After putting on the gas mask and taking advantage of the opportunity to adjust the headphones, Yin Ji turned off the intercom device on his chest and sighed with a rare sigh...
