Chapter 2 The end is coming (2)
"Roar!!!"
The protozoa suddenly exerted force, and its sharp pliers, like sword blades, pierced Luo Ning's face almost instantly.
Luo Ning raised her palms, crossed them back and forth, and blocked the incoming giant pincers.
However, the protozoa are so powerful that they are difficult to control with just the strength of the palm.
The sharp tip of the giant pliers is getting closer and closer to the face.
Luo Ning's movement stagnated, and he suddenly released his force, then dodged sideways, kicked his right leg horizontally, and hit the protozoa's side hard.
Bang——
With a dull sound, the protozoa flew several meters away.
Seeing that it was about to hit the wall, it immediately made adjustments, supporting itself with pliers on the ground, and its posture was like a toad.
Immediately, the protozoa raised its head and stared at the knight.
His eyes showed a hint of ferocity, and his strong leg muscles suddenly expanded, then contracted suddenly, bursting out with terrifying power, leaping up, and lifting a giant pincer from mid-air to hit Luo Ning.
When it comes to who can jump better, Luo Ning will definitely not lose to the protozoa in front of her.
I saw that she suddenly bent her knees and exerted her strength. The moment her feet left the ground, the ground cracked into a mesh shape, smoke flew, and she jumped above the opponent's head.
Whoosh——
Then, Luo Ning's body in mid-air tensed up, like a meteorite falling from deep space, pulling at the air so fast that only an afterimage could be seen, and he kicked him in the back.
The protozoa's body immediately folded at a right angle, with its face facing the ground, and then fell rapidly after losing weight.
boom! ! !
There was a loud roar, a huge pit appeared on the ground, dust visible to the naked eye agitated, and sound waves expanded to the surroundings. The iron warehouse was affected and trembled slightly.
Luo Ning landed smoothly and walked slowly towards the protozoa in the giant pit.
Next to him, Gao Chen witnessed the whole process.
I don’t know if the protozoa are not strong enough this time, or if the boss has become stronger.
In the past, like the last time she saw the locust for the first time, she was helpless when faced with the octopus protozoa.
However, that protozoa has special skills, and until now, this protozoa has only been able to fight in close combat with bare hands.
For a moment, several fragments appeared in Gao Chen's mind, recalling the protozoa he had fought.
Some indeed have no special skills, not even the most common acceleration.
Currently, the one with the most comprehensive skills is Starscream who escaped.
It seems that the strength of these protozoa is equated with their own skills. The protozoa with skills are stronger than those without.
boom! ! !
While I was thinking about this, there was another fight outside.
The protozoa was kicked into a warehouse by Luo Ning. She placed her hand next to the sublimation key and was about to end the battle.
"Wait...wait a minute."
At this time, the unconscious man woke up.
"Don't kill him."
Gao Chen looked at the man.
Luo Ning stopped, turned around, frowned and asked, "Why?"
"he is my friend."
The man pushed himself up with difficulty and stood up from the ground.
"friend?"
Gao Chen walked out of the nearby warehouse.
Looking at the protozoa lying next to the wall, he was dying and had suffered severe internal injuries.
Gao Chen pretended to be confused and said: "Isn't he the protozoa announced by the Knight Academy laboratory?"
The man looked at the protozoa lying on the ground and wailing in pain, with complicated eyes, and nodded: "Maybe so."
Here, the words just fell.
boom! ! !
There was a loud noise, the metal iron plate of the warehouse was smashed, and the protozoa broke through the wall and escaped.
Just as Luo Ning was about to take a step, she remembered that Gao Chen was still here, and she was worried that there were other protozoa around.
Simply, he gave up the chance to catch up.
She released the transformation and walked towards the man while saying: "It seems that the results of the laboratory research at Knight Academy are correct. These protozoa do exist."
The man looked at the broken wall. He didn't know whether he was glad that he was fine or that his friend escaped and ascended to heaven. He took a long breath and said, "I don't know what the situation is."
"He has been in a bad mood ever since he heard the news this morning. Finally, he completely became like this when we were working just now."
"It must have gotten out of control."
Gao Chen approached, frowned and analyzed: "I think the reason why these protozoa can hide in human society for such a long time as announced by the laboratory is because they have an obvious difference from the zerg."
"These protozoa can control their emotions. If this emotion gets out of control, it is very likely to be exposed."
Knight systems around the world rate pest infestations from one to ten, with each level having an out-of-control index.
The maximum strength of the zerg at each level or whether it can be raised to a higher level is also linked to the level of loss of control.
According to Gao Chen's analysis, these protozoa should have similar loss-of-control thresholds. Once they reach the highest value, they are likely to be uncontrollably exposed like what they encountered today, and then lose control of their emotions and attack the surrounding humans.
"So, my friend was actually a protozoa all along?"
The man couldn't believe it. He didn't believe the results announced by the laboratory at first, thinking that this was a way for these people to attract charitable donations.
However, after hearing the young man's analysis, he couldn't hold back his inner emotions and cried out: "But, we have lived together since childhood, and he has never hurt me."
Luo Ning glanced at the man, and then took out a communicator. She didn't feel pity for the man's cry, and said coldly: "I will help you contact the foundation. You can tell them the specific things."
Seeing this, Gao Chen wanted to stop her and not call the foundation.
He knew that there might be more protozoa hidden in the Knight Foundation. If this matter was handed over to the Foundation, what would happen to the man in front of him.
But he couldn't tell the boss directly, and he couldn't trust the people in the foundation.
After unloading the goods, I returned to the restaurant from the riverside warehouse. The store was still empty of diners, and the signboard beside the door fluttered in the wind, indicating the coming autumn.
"Just pretend that nothing happened today and you didn't see anything."
Gao Chen was carrying seafood from the back seat of his motorcycle when Luo Ning came over and said, "I don't want my identity as a fit person to be known to more people."
"I understand, boss, you must have your own reasons for not disclosing your identity like other competent people."
Gao Chen put a box of seafood on his shoulders and said, "It's just that I don't understand why you would open a shop here since you are a capable person."
"What about you? You seem to know a lot about protozoa, and you are calmer than anyone else when encountering an insect plague."
Luo Ning said in a faint voice: "Then why did you come here to deliver takeaways?"
Gao Chen's expression froze, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
The boss seems to have guessed something.
But I don’t seem to be sure.
"Boss, I don't know what you mean. I'm here to deliver food. It's just temporary, waiting for the co-police assessment in September. If I can pass the exam, I will go to the police station."
After hearing this, Luo Ning smiled and said, "Okay, move these seafood to the cold storage."
...
Knight Foundation, Office of the President.
Yuan Zhenghua sat at the table, holding a communicator in his hand, and the ringtone kept ringing.
drop--
Finally, someone on the other side answered: "Hey, what's going on?"
"The experimental report published by the Knight Academy laboratory was provided by you, right?"
"Well, is there a problem?"
Yuan Zhenghua suppressed his voice, more like suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart and said: "When you do this, don't you think about other tribesmen?"
The other party was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This is not what I meant, but what the patriarch meant."
"But why?"
Yuan Zhenghua didn't understand that they had been lurking for so many years, and now all the protozoa might be exposed just because of an experimental report.
"The patriarch's meaning is very clear. He believes it is time for humans to know about the existence of our tribe."
The other party said: "The more chaotic the world is today, the more stable it will be for us."
Didi didi——
Communication hung up.
President Yuan looked at the photo on the table of a young man who had just become a qualified person. That was the real Yuan Zhenghua...
...
evening.
Deep in the bungalow area far away from the bustling urban area, in an inconspicuous old house, an incandescent lamp was suddenly lit.
In the flickering warm yellow light, you can see the simple and old furnishings in the room.
A slightly moldy ceiling, faded and peeling wallpaper, and a girl standing in the middle of the room.
"We'll be moving out in a few days."
Qing Mo said to his younger brother Wan Liu.
"Is it because the news published the research report on our existence, so you want to find a place to hide it again?"
Wan Liu puffed up his cheeks and despised his sister's cowardly thoughts from the bottom of his heart: "I won't leave. If the world knows our existence, is it necessary for us to hide? So I think we should go to war with humans. They are like this How can a low-level creature fight against us?"
"Dad wouldn't want to see you say such things!" Qing Mo raised his hand and wanted to teach his brother a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Wan Liu didn't hide at all, and said: "Then you also saw that my father joined the Knight Foundation and protected mankind for his whole life, but in the end he died at the hands of mankind. Is it worth it?"
Qing Mo was silent.
Seeing that his sister was silent, Wan Liu turned around and returned to the room.
The girl was left alone here, and strange shouts came from other rooms on both sides.
"Your father was killed by humans. But you pretended not to know anything."
"I have protected humans all my life and killed the Zerg with my own hands, but ended up dying at the hands of humans. How ridiculous!"
"Your brother is right. Why is it that we are hiding instead of humans?"
"..."
...
In the evening, the inspection team found Gao Chen.
In the car, Xinhai looked very bad. He took off his dome hat and slowly said: "After a day of investigation, we found that the Leicester Group may have instigated the Knight Academy to send out the message."
Gao Chen was very puzzled: "Shouldn't they be worried about their identities being exposed?"
"They are more afraid of our secret investigation than having their identity exposed."
Xinhai said: "Now that the truth is made public, everything is on the surface. I am afraid that the protozoa that have infiltrated around us have begun to be wary. If we continue to investigate the Leicester Group, we will not be able to protect those who are related to the Leicester Group. Related protozoa will lose control and take revenge on society."
"After our investigation of Leicester's network during this period, we found that the industries covered by their consortium are all over Qinggang City, and even have industries in many cities in the south."
"If, I mean if, it is like what I said above, once the investigation is in-depth, these protozoa will definitely expose their identities, and then we will not only face the Leicester Group, but the huge group of protozoa .”
"In addition, our inspection team has deduced that the protozoa may also have multiple forces, much like the tribal groups in our ancient human society."
"Therefore, I feel that the Leicester Group announced this news probably to cause panic in other protozoan groups, thereby further disrupting today's world order."
"I see."
Gao Chen nodded.
The inspection team represents the authorities, and their every move will receive attention during this special period, especially those protozoa hiding in the dark.
Then, Gao Chen asked calmly: "So, what do you want to see me for this time?"
"I need you to deal with Yuan Zhenghua."
Xinhai didn't talk nonsense: "After our investigation, he has the closest connection with the Leicester Group. He is probably a protozoan."
"He is the president of the Knight Foundation."
Gao Chen remembered this guy. He cried the most at Dai Ming's funeral.
"It is precisely because he is the president of the Knight Foundation that I want you to help get rid of him as a Kamen Rider."
Xinhai said: "We can't execute secretly, otherwise the protozoa hiding in the dark will definitely know what our authorities did. Therefore, I need your help. You are a folk knight. There is a conflict between you and the foundation. Everything is reasonable. .”
"If there is a conflict, it's better not to kill someone." Gao Chen said: "I'm not a bad person. Besides, the public's opinion of me has just improved these days. To assassinate the president of a foundation so blatantly, you Do you think it’s okay?”
That said, the above accounts for a small part of the reason.
In fact, Gao Chen saw another side of protozoa today. Not all protozoa can harm humans, but they harm humans mostly because their emotions are stimulated and they lose control and hurt people.
But he did not tell the inspection team that this was not necessary.
If humans need to take care of protozoan emotions in order to gain peace, it might as well be eradicated.
Besides, this little bug Yuan Zhenghua is not a good bug, but a bed bug.
"You don't have to worry." Xinhai said: "If Yuan Zhenghua is really a protozoa, then he will be exposed in order to save his life. Just like the first investigation case we received, the combat team leader of Songhua City... ..”
"You mentioned him when we first met."
Gao Chen interrupted the other party, and then thought for a moment: "I can help you get rid of Yuan Zhenghua, but you have to give me a copy of his schedule."
"We have already prepared this."
Xinhai handed him a piece of information wrapped in a black bag: "Next Sunday, at nine o'clock in the evening, he will go to Xincheng to attend a charity dinner. You can ambush him on his way."
Gao Chen took the information, took it out, looked at it twice, and then put it back into the black bag: "Okay, I understand."
Before the boy left, Xinhai added: "Remember not to leave alive this time. When you killed Dai Ming last time, this guy was not dead. What really caused his death was the wound on his heart."
That wound in your heart?
Gao Chen remembered that the death report of Dai Ming published by the Foundation stated that the cause of death was related to zerg. Now it seems that the report was correct.
It seems that I have time to visit the bungalow area.
