She said slowly: "Let's separate when we return to the outer city. My dad is right. Once he loses his job, there will be no way for people from the outer city to make friends with people from the inner city--"
Before she finished speaking, Shanshan rushed over and hugged her, "Don't say frustrating words! Everything will return to normal when human beings reestablish order! Then talk to him properly. Your dad will listen to more advice than mine. "
The warm and soft breath hugged Xiaoyou tightly. She only hesitated for a moment, then opened her arms and hugged the trembling little body hard, "Okay. Wait until humans restore order."
Under the damp bridge, Luo Qing stared at his hands and feet, "Rebuilding the order of Area 53..."
Mantisfoot was nowhere to be seen, and she looked no different from before her deformation. But the chewed and broken mantis corpses everywhere and the cruel consciousness in her mind reminded her of the gap that she could not cross back.
She looked around the corner - her daughter was lying on the ground, with only human features remaining from the neck up.
Luo Qing walked over and knelt down, kissing those cloudy eyes, "Don't be afraid. Mom will take you to find more food."
"Let new humans rebuild order in Area 53."

"The population density in the inner city is higher, but the infection rate is very low. Before our blind surrender, someone had already organized a survival order for everyone." Zhu Tao handed An Yu a dirty note, "Although the information is incomplete, But it’s what helps most people get through the toughest days.”
An Yu was very familiar with this handwriting.
【Military Department Reminder】
Stay away from all lights, don't use water at night, and preferably hide alone.
Once the limb becomes rigid, it is hoped to end it in time.
Peace be upon you.
——Ling Qiu, military number 215001.
"He scattered the notes all over the streets and alleys, and destroyed all the street lights in the inner city. He seems to be just a new recruit." Zhu Tao pushed the carriage door open a crack, looked at the hazy street and said softly: "He is such a lovely person. , so that I never dare to forget that I should always be a human being."
The light created a dividing line between light and dark on his face, and his deep purple pupils were peaceful and sad.
An Yu found that he could sense other people's emotions better than before, even though it had only been a few days since he set foot on that shuttle bus.
"As long as the human will is preserved, it's all the same." He said softly.
"No." Putao looked back and smiled, "Although we can control ourselves not to infect humans, there is no absolute guarantee. In the steeple, only senior adults are allowed to go out freely, and the rest of the lawful people can never return to human society. Have you seen 196 Asaph on the top floor? He was a top student before his transformation, and now he often goes to the top of the tower to look at his former school. You only need to see that figure once to understand."
After entering the inner city, everyone abandoned their cars and set off.
Qin Zhilu ordered everyone to search for "Frog Tongue", and Billy alone tracked the real super abnormal body in the dark.
With Jiang Xiao around, An Yu stayed as far away from Qin Zhilu as possible.
"Are you scared?" Zhu Tao asked.
An Yu was looking at the back of Jiang Xiao's head from a distance and nodded subconsciously.
"Then give you this." Zhu Tao handed over a small thing, "Although Lu said you are very stable, the octopus man is not comparable to those in the outer city."
An Yu was stunned and looked down at the small purple dried fruit in his palm.
"Don't tell anyone." Zhu Tao lowered his voice, "Although I have inexhaustible leaves, I won't be able to produce a grape fruit for several months. My chief said that these small fruits to repay gratitude have a greater effect on improving mental resistance than The leaves are a thousand times better, and I have only secretly given them to one person.”
An Yu subconsciously clenched his palms and said in disbelief: "Giving it to me for free?"
"Well. Just think of it as a celebration that you have the same kind of aberration as my commander, although I don't think you are like it." Zhu Tao patted him, "Don't worry too much, the powerful guardian octopus only appears near the frog tongue."
The first areas to be searched were containers and buildings in the north. The lawful ones acted independently. Only Lieutenant Ruijin, who was also a human, walked beside An Yu, and they checked the empty apartments one by one with him.
"An Yu..." he recalled, "I seem to have heard my comrades talk about you. Do you know Ling Qiu?"
An Yu said in surprise: "Have you seen Ling Qiu in the inner city?"
Ruijin shook his head regretfully, "I only heard him mention you during the training camp. But I can't remember what he said. I'm too tired these days."
"Is he okay in the military department?"
"Very good, all the veterans like him." Ruijin laughed twice, "Very few recruits can go directly to the mission after coming out of the training camp. They have a bright future. However, who would have thought of this mission..."
He paused and said no more.
An Yu didn't ask any more questions. He quickly opened one door after another, trying not to think about it.
After sweeping the first floor, they met Ryan in the corridor.
Compared to Jiang Xiao's aggressiveness, Ryan's silent gaze made An Yu more uncomfortable.
Ruijin kept a distance from Ryan and asked, "Where else have you not searched?"
Ryan pointed up haughtily.
Ruijin nodded and walked upstairs. An Yu was about to follow when Ryan suddenly said: "What's the point of two human beings hugging each other?"
He looked at An Yu and said, "You go directly to the top floor."
The top floor is exceptionally quiet, and there are significantly fewer bugs on the ground.
An Yu opened a door, looked around every corner, and exited to the next room.
When he opened the last door, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell, like many dirty and smelly human body odors mixed together, with a hint of fishy smell.
The room was dark, the curtains were tightly drawn, and he walked inside.
There was a sudden snap from behind.
The lights are as bright as day.
An Yu froze, and the light projected the shape of the thing behind him onto the ground in front of him.
A large group of slimy tentacles squirmed under the human's torso, and the tall and majestic shadow completely enveloped him.
Speaking of which, people often give him things recently, such as red bean cakes from the wife, an apartment as a reward from the commander, and raisins from the congratulations.
And this was Ryan's "gift" to him.
He glanced at the terminal survival value and turned around.
This octopus maintains a human shape from the abdomen upward, and its nutrition level is good - the tips of dozens of thick tentacles are filled with human faces, some are particularly thick, and there are even two ferocious faces pushing each other inside.
An Yu looked at each tentacle carefully and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no Ling Qiu.
"Human, and he is actually a real human..." The octopus man seemed a little confused. His tentacles formed huge suckers and sucked the ground. His upper body lowered from the air, his smelly face was close to the tip of An Yu's nose, and he sniffed repeatedly.
An Yu felt a little nauseous and asked, "Are real humans rare?"
The octopus man smiled.
A tentacle wrapped around An Yu's neck and pushed him against the wall. The face inside was so excited that it was deformed. It raised its tip and poked at his neck, like a nurse looking for a place to put an needle.
The other tentacles screamed jealously. Those mysterious cries once made Jiang Xiao's mental energy plummet, but An Yu was unfazed. He even listened carefully for a while. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand what was being said.
The octopus man suddenly said: "You don't seem to be afraid of me."
An Yu paused, "I'm afraid."
Unconvincing.
The octopus man studied him for a moment, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
An Yu can feel that crazy desire. As long as they meet him, the mantis, jellyfish, and octopus will all become a virtue.
To these freaks, he seems to be a particularly delicious treat.
The tentacle finally touched a depression under the neck, the human face protruded from the thick and tough octopus skin, and the fangs opened wide and bit it!
The smooth and hard teeth touched the skin, but An Yu's neck suddenly relaxed!
——The octopus man actually retracted his tentacles again.
It closed its eyes and endured, exuding the disappointment of not being able to eat anything good, and murmured: "You smell like jellyfish. The jellyfish in the inner city have been eliminated long ago, and only some garbage is left wandering around and fighting for it in the outer city... You How could such a delicious and weak human come in from the outer city alive? And you seem to be eager to be eaten by me."
It opened its eyes suddenly, "You are poisonous, aren't you?"
The golden pupils suddenly shrank.
Got seen through.
As expected, even Jiang Xiao praised him for his cleverness.
The octopus man smiled clearly, "Are you a uniquely deformed predator? Retaining the illusion of human genes and hunting other things by being eaten?"
An Yu raised his eyes, "Why am I not pretending to be like myself?"
"You look too confident. You can be more fearful next time. Unfortunately, there will be no next time." The tentacles wrapped around his neck again, tightening them around his neck. The octopus man hissed in his ear. Said: "Although it is poisonous, it is still very weak. If you pinch it, you will die, right?"
An Yu didn't answer, his breathing was uncontrollably rapid, and vertical pupils gradually appeared in his eyes.
The tentacles tightened tighter and tighter, and just when they were about to crush his neck, those golden eyes suddenly turned cold and stern.
Stupid!
An Yu cut off a section of the tentacle with his knife and grabbed it - "Then I can only eat you."
He raised his octopus legs full of mucus high and stabbed the old wound under his neck!
Blood splatters! The violent dizziness almost shattered his consciousness. Before An Yu could react, he had already appeared in the other corner of the room!
Sure enough, I guessed it right, as long as the entropy of the infected gene is high enough, teleportation will awaken more completely.
But just as this thought passed through his mind, a loud "pop!" sound passed behind him, and he fell directly to the ground.
Unprecedented pain exploded in his back, as if a layer of skin had been quenched by fire, and the tentacle that slapped him curled up excitedly in the air.
Mucus quickly invaded the body through the wound, the infection worsened, and he instantly appeared in another corner of the room.
"Crack!" Another whip followed closely!
The octopus man smiled wildly, "So you have the ability! It's a pity that in this small room, where can you go?"
The tentacles under it instantly swelled several times, and the space could barely hold it. No matter where An Yu teleported to, there would be a heavy whip waiting for him!
After the fourth blow, An Yu couldn't hold on any longer.
The continuous teleportation exhausted his energy, and that feeling came again. The cold sense of wakefulness and the irresistible lethargy were intertwined. He tried his best to resist the coming of that thing, but this time the resistance was particularly difficult.
The octopus man suddenly asked: "Can you remove the poison?"
"What...what?" An Yu raised his head weakly.
The thing actually had a confused look on its face, "Take out the source of the poison in your body and let me eat you."
Like a lunatic who demands food to reduce calories for himself in order to lose weight.
