When Zhang Hongmian woke up, he felt as if a piece of his brain was missing.
It was as if someone had taken away an entire memory in his mind, his temples were throbbing, and they were aching.
The moon in the sky was still round and full, and the pale white moonlight swayed down from the huge moon, shining on himself and making sparkling waves on the water in front of him.
Only then did Zhang Hongmian realize that she was lying on her back naked in the hot spring pool.
The hot spring is open-air. Zhang Hongmian turned his head and looked around. An off-white bath towel was hanging on the lounge chair. He walked about twenty steps to the left and could walk back indoors from the open-air hot spring. There was a sliding door between them. of trap doors.
"Where am I..."
Zhang Hongmian pressed his temples and pressed back the throbbing veins.
Why did I appear naked in this hot spring?
Are you taking a bath here?
wrong……
Zhang Hongmian felt that there was a subconscious reminder in his mind that he was not the kind of person who enjoyed taking a bath, especially in this crisis-ridden situation.
Crisis is everywhere...
Why does this word appear subconsciously in my mind?
No, I should ask...
who I am?
I remembered that I was drugged and then appeared in this hot spring...
…
I am Zhang Hongmian, the leader of the A58 Regiment of the Fact Investigation Department of the first urban agglomeration in central China, and one of the youngest leaders of the Fact Investigation Department.
My father, Zhang Zihe, is the director of the Emotion Research Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. Before his retirement, he was responsible for the research direction of how modern humans can use the negative emotional energy generated by the giant moon tides to improve human beings' ability to function in the world. survival level.
In other words, what my father studied was how humans should develop their physical potential.
On the third day of junior high school last month, my father retired.
According to his age, he should retire.
My father has dedicated more than forty years of his golden years to this era. If the human body has growth rings like trees, on the day of retirement, his growth rings will have reached his 70th year.
He retired honorably, with a wall full of honorary medals and six books on how to utilize negative emotions, all of which have now become one of the must-have textbooks in major negative colleges. Among them, the book "Advanced Negative Emotion Cleansing Methodology" compiled by my father has become a lingering nightmare for many students even after several years of graduation and even becoming legendary negative emotions masters.
Whenever they think of high negative scores, negative teachers can still recall the afternoon when the failure rate exceeded 90%.
After my father retired, the research center provided him with a generous retirement environment. People in the ministry suggested that my father enjoy his life in the best nursing home in China. However, my father felt that when people get old, they should return to the place where they were born.
So my father returned to Dongerqun, and with the help of an old friend, he was transferred to the Dongerqun Hot Spring Nursing Home where he is now.
Until...a change occurred.
"Everyone...is contaminated."
Zhang Hongmian raised his head and said to himself,
"Mumu, Awang, Qiye, Teacher Liu..."
After receiving his father's distress recording, he brought a full investigation team of sixteen people, but all members of the team eventually became part of the pollution after entering the hot spring pollution site.
As long as you leave the water body, your body will quickly rejuvenate.
If they do not replenish a large amount of water, all contaminated infected people will degenerate from an adult with normal functions in all aspects to a crying baby within ten minutes.
But degenerating into a baby is still not the end of it all. In the remaining minute or so, the baby will continue to degenerate until it degenerates into an embryo with no visible shape, until it degenerates into a puddle of yellow water.
But if there is only this group of pollution sources, it is not terrible. You only need to constantly replenish water to ensure your own safety before receiving treatment and returning to normal. What is even more frightening is that there are more than just this group of pollution in this pollution site. .
The bandage monster "Dry Body Bandage" wandering around the stairs, the "Shadow Man" who can't be seen at all and can't predict the direction of its attack, and the "dark swamp" that will fall into "fear and despair" just by looking at it from a distance …
This hot spring nursing home can be called the most dangerous pollution site she has experienced in more than ten years of working.
Even a legendary negative purifier with a 100% chance of success may only have a zero percent chance of survival here.
Yes, everyone he brought here died.
Some were swallowed up by bandages, some turned into yellow water, and some fell into hysterical madness just after taking a long look at the storage room in the kitchen, and even their own emotional incarnations became weird and indescribable. monster.
He is already the last person in the truth investigation team.
Zhang Hongmian sighed. She finally remembered why she was in this open-air hot spring.
She was chased by more than a dozen body bandages. As she ran around, her body continued to shrink.
Finally, before her body completely transformed back into a kindergarten student, she finally managed to run to the hot spring room that those with body bandages dared not enter. After jumping into the open-air hot spring, she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, his body had returned to the level of about twenty-eight years old now, and he was lying on his back in this open-air hot spring, with the huge moon shining on his face.
"The chance of survival is zero percent..."
The moonlight shines on the water, leaving a swaying reflection.
Zhang Hongmian suddenly stood up, leaving crystal curves in the moonlight.
"I can't linger in this pool any longer. I have to spread more specific information about this pollution site before I die."
"Just like my father, at least leave a recording..."
She remembered why she came here.
His father transmitted a recording to himself through a special button communicator, telling him about the changes in the hot spring nursing home, and asked him to send a team of 16 people to deal with the pollution site incident according to the highest standards.
But even his father did not expect that a full team of sixteen people would not be able to clean up the changes in this negative emotional pollution field, and could only become part of the pollution in the chaotic fight between pollution sources.
"The negative Qing division team is also not qualified. Here, we must at least let the mediator lead the team."
"No, it won't work even if the mediator leads the team... We are only on the periphery of the hot spring nursing home..."
Zhang Hongmian stepped out of the hot spring and felt the rapid loss of water on his body. He thought in his heart that he must pass on more information about the pollution field before he died.
After his death, the Fact Investigation Department and the Cleanup Department will definitely send more cleanup divisions and even mediators to deal with the problem, but even if a mediator leads the team, there is still a high possibility that the pollution site will be destroyed before the specific information about the pollution site is known. Lost in this chaotic pollution site.
In a pollution field of this level, any mistake would be fatal.
Zhang Hongmian calmed down and ran from the open-air hot spring to the locker room. Before starting to run, she picked up the off-white bath towel from the lounge chair nearby and soaked it in the hot spring until it was moist.
The water on the bath towel is enough to allow you to move for an extra minute or two on land that is short of water. Regardless of the short time, sometimes, these one to two minutes are also crucial.
After doing all this, Zhang Hongmian opened the trap door leading to the locker room.
But as soon as the trap door was halfway open, Zhang Hongmian heard wind chimes ringing from the other side of the locker room, on top of the heavy curtain that separated the outer corridor and the locker room.
The bandage monster appeared behind the heavy curtain and walked in pushing a trolley.
Zhang Hongmian immediately paused, quickly pulled back, and hid against the wall next to the trap door while carefully observing the movements of the bandaged monster to determine his next move.
The bandage geek didn't notice Zhang Hongmian's presence. He just looked around the locker room with a stern look. After roving his eyes in a circle, he made sure that no one was around and then opened the silver-gray cover on the trolley. cloth, revealing a set of pots and pans underneath, and a variety of dinners in the dishes.
With many years of truth investigation experience and common sense in life, Zhang Hongmian immediately recognized that what was on the dining car was a dinner for one person, and the dinner was very luxurious.
"Could it be that the bandaged man in front of me is actually the service staff of the hot spring nursing home? And the food on the dining car is the dinner that it will push to someone in the nursing home?"
Zhang Hongmian thought,
"But this doesn't make sense? Everyone we have met so far in this hot spring nursing home has been infected by various pollution sources. It is roughly estimated that there are more than three pollution source centers in the nursing home. Under such circumstances, how can Are there any normal people who need dinner? Even if there are, how can there be any normal staff who would send a cart of dinner to them after eight o'clock in the evening?"
While thinking, Zhang Hongmian kept a close eye on the bandage weirdo's actions.
Next, she saw the bandage weirdo throwing "off-white powder" into the food.
"That kind of off-white powder..."
The off-white powder scattered on the food and disappeared quickly. From Zhang Hongmian's position, it was impossible to see what the off-white powder was.
Zhang Hongmian could only guess that the bandage weirdo was poisoning.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why it stayed away from other staff, came alone to the hot spring room where the bandages were unwilling to come, and performed such inexplicable little tricks in the locker room.
"But why does it poison?"
Zhang Hongmian was a little confused, but this doubt could not last long.
Because the bandage weirdo quickly ended his sprinkling of gray-white powder, he once again looked around with a sly look, then pushed the cart again, turned around, and prepared to push the cart away.
Want to leave? That's not okay.
Zhang Hongmian narrowed his eyes and thought to himself,
"I finally found a lonely Dry Body Bandage. If I just let you go like this, wouldn't it make me, the leader of the A58 regiment, look like an incompetent vase?"
Zhang Hongmian's mind started thinking rapidly, but before she could think of anything, she realized that her body was moving faster than her brain.
She grabbed the off-white bath towel in her hand. After feeling the damp texture on the bath towel, she turned to hold the heavy bath towel with both hands, and then rushed directly towards the bandage weirdo who was about to leave.
Only then did Zhang Hongmian think of a countermeasure against the bandage weirdo.
"I can give him a hard blow with the hot spring soaked towel on my hand!"
"In this way, even if the dry body bandage can absorb water, it cannot absorb all the water on the bath towel at once!"
"And I can take this opportunity to give him a fatal blow!"
Zhang Hongmian couldn't help but get excited about his plan. When he turned around, he realized that he had actually acted on his idea.
The bath towel soaked with water covered the face of the bandage weirdo. At the same time, a long and narrow black wound penetrated the bath towel and appeared on the bandage weirdo's neck.
"What caused that wound?"
Zhang Hongmian was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, black water full of rancid smell spewed out from the narrow wound.
And the bandage weirdo also fell to the ground.
