Tang Yi was stunned for two seconds, he didn't understand why Mercury was still willing to help him now. But then he suddenly realized that it must be Mercury who didn't want Tang Ya's younger brother to die, right? Is this the case with the so-called Love House and Wu
Tang Yi smiled bitterly, swallowing a trace of stagnation in his heart, "No need, you should stay and help others."
"No, I'll go with you." There was no room for change in Mercury's tone, but his eyes did not fall on Tang Yi's face for a long time. Tang Yi felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, but thought that with Mercury following him, he might have a higher chance of success, so he glanced at Nolan. The latter nodded, "Let him go with you. If you can't come back, I don't think we can get far..."
At this time, the researcher who had been silent since entering the shelter suddenly came over, took out an empty needle, and dropped a little bit of the medicine in the injection, and then asked Tang Yi to stretch out his hand, "I'll give you a small amount of amine salt reagent, Allows you to see LEV34 roughly without making it hostile to you. It will still be more sensitive to you than someone without reagents, so be careful."
Tang Yi nodded. Mercury also received the same small amount of reagent. The two stood side by side behind Nolan and the others and the Kraken. When the door is opened, they will concentrate their firepower to burn a passage for the two of them to pass quickly.
Bob slammed the gate open, and as soon as the door slid open a crack, something red rushed in. In an instant, the flash of gunfire and the scream of the siren formed a shocking slaughter and spin, and the entire sanctuary trembled in it. The fire gradually went out, Tang Yi picked up the gun and rushed out together with Mercury with his eyes closed.
No obstacles were encountered, but for a moment, Tang Yi felt something wet and licked along the auricle. He was numb all over and opened his eyes suddenly, but he didn't see the picture that he expected to be wrapped in the overwhelming red bloodshot. The hallway looked clean and empty, except for an eerie red in places, like a shadow on the walls, ceiling, and edge of the floor. Tang Yi guessed that those red light clusters were probably where LEV34 was.
Tang Yi felt that his fingertips were a little itchy. He took off the military gloves and found that some red mold-like things with small balls at the top had grown between his fingers. He glanced at his watch, knowing that he didn't have much time, and immediately began to run wildly. Quicksilver followed behind him, and the footsteps of the two echoed in the empty building. Tang Yi was a little fortunate that Mercury came with him at this time, which gave him a sense of peace of mind.
Tang Yi rushed into the hall and shouted first, "Lin Maochen! Are you there?"
No one responded.
Tang Yi didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and before he had time to hesitate, he rushed along the stairs to the fifteenth floor, the highest. It wasn't that he couldn't take the elevator, but the scarlet sheen in the elevator really made him not want to go in. The sound of his and Mercury's breathing echoed between the empty stairs, and the endless upward stairs could not be seen. If the two hadn't been trained by the devil in the army, ordinary people would have to climb for half an hour on this trip. But for them, ten minutes is enough.
When the two climbed to the thirteenth floor, Mercury paused, "There are people on this floor."
Tang Yi believed in Mercury's feeling, and immediately kicked open the door of the stairwell and entered the corridor. With his gun alert, he kicked the door open with his foot every time he passed a room to investigate. Suddenly, there seemed to be a figure lying prone on the front corridor, surrounded by a thick red light.
Tang Yi ran over and found that a lot of red bloodshots had spread over the man's body, like small hands sticking out from the ground tightly clawing at his body. Tang Yi endured disgust and took off all those red things, turning people over. The immature face, the big eyes that were originally bright, were tightly closed, it was Lin Maochen.
Tang Yi helped Lin Maochen up, took off his gloves, and found that the hand had been covered with a thick layer of red mold, as if red hair had grown. He hurriedly tore off Lin Maochen's armor, tore his clothes, and saw that the red "fuzz" had spread to the chest and waist, and even a few pieces of mycelium had sprung up on his chest.
Tang Yi frowned, "He doesn't have much time, I'm afraid he won't even have half an hour left. Quicksilver, take him back first..."
"No." Quicksilver interrupted him. "It's too late. As long as we kill LEV34's body quickly enough, he can be saved."
Tang Yi found that Mercury was always very decisive and decisive when talking to him now, which was completely different from the previous obedience attitude. Unhappy in my heart, I lowered my head and muttered in a low voice, "Who is the master..."
Mercury raised an eyebrow, "You are not my master."
Tang Yi was at a loss for words, but he knew that he was humiliating himself. He hesitated for a moment, and felt that what Mercury had said really made sense. If he is the only one who assassinates LEV34, the odds of winning are really small.
He suddenly had an idea, took out an injection from his backpack, and was about to hit Lin Maochen's neck when he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, "You give him a shot, and LEV34 will start attacking him. You are this hurt him."
Tang Yi broke free of the mercury's restraint and said impatiently, "I know! I'll give him half a shot first, just to restrain his mutation speed a little. Even if I'm not my brother, our IQs are about the same, right?"
Mercury stared at him for a while, then slowly let go.
After the injection, the mycelium on Lin Maochen's chest subsided a lot, and his eyelashes fluttered a few times before slowly opening.
"... Boss?" The big eyes widened slightly, and he instantly recognized Tang Yi as Tang Ya, full of dependence and trust.
Tang Yi asked in a low voice, "What happened? Where's your siren?"
This question finally revealed the mist that was lingering in Lin Maochen's mind. His eyes became clearer and clearer, but also covered with a layer of confusion.
"We tracked the mini-machine and found that the rebels were transporting some soldiers who appeared to be in the middle of the infection to area 210. They tested those people one by one and put them in the city. The soldiers were voluntarily accepted. Infected, and they quickly entered the late stage of infection after entering the city for an hour. Significant changes have taken place in their bodies. Their muscles are much fuller and more developed than before, their movements are agile and fast, and they seem to have a certain intelligence, without completely losing consciousness. Later we Suddenly I found myself surrounded. Lan Huang and the boss covered me to escape and came to you to ask for help." Having said that, Lin Maochen clung to Tang Yi's arm, "There are too many rebel soldiers, how do we deal with them? rescued?"
Tang Yi sighed and scratched his hair irritably, "We'll talk about the monsters outside later. The first thing to deal with now is the monsters inside."
"The... monsters inside?" Lin Maochen was a little confused and uncertain, "This building is weird... After I came in, I always felt breathless and my body was itchy..."
"Look around you, can you see anything?"
"… red?"
"Yes, Mercury and I still have things to do. You wait for us here, but be careful of those red ones. When they are approaching you, they will run downstairs. Do you understand?" Tang Yi grabbed Lin Maochen's shoulder. In a word, his eyes are sharp and serious. Lin Maochen couldn't help but nodded like a good baby.
Tang Yi stood up and looked at Mercury, "Let's go."
The closer you get to the top layer, the denser the red. The air seemed to have solidified into mucus, and it was unbearably sticky to breathe. Turning his head casually, he could vaguely feel something wet and soft rubbing against his cheek. At the same time, Tang Yi started to itch, and he couldn't scratch through the armor, so he was very sad. Tang Yi glanced back at Mercury, "It's too late for you to go back now..."
Mercury lowered his eyes slightly and said lightly, "Stop talking nonsense. I will protect you until this task is completed."
"Don't come... I don't need someone to protect you, sir." Tang Yi was dissatisfied with the other party's arrogant tone.
Mercury passed him by indifferently and moved on, "Tang Ya is dead, you are the closest person to him in this world. There is only so much I can do for him."
Tang Yi usually hates people saying how similar he is to Tang Ya. But now, when he heard the Kraken say this, he felt a little distressed.
Obviously the other party is already dead, and he has to work hard for a stranger who just looks the same.
If it was him instead of Tang Ya who was selected into the team, would this unswerving relationship belong to him once in a lifetime
Tang Yi forced himself to throw away the thought just now and took big strides to catch up.
When it was between the fourteenth and fifteenth floors, the surrounding red suddenly became restless. Perhaps it was because of their behavior that they pressed directly into LEV34's heart. Many tentacle-like things began to pull on their arms, legs, and feet, and with increasing strength, walking became extremely difficult. The two have been afraid to shoot for fear of triggering more intense retaliation. But now it seems that it is impossible not to fight back.
Tang Yi took out the dagger, sprinkled some amine salt reagents on it, and swung towards the red things in the air. There were countless hissing screams, as if countless gnats were screaming. Not long after, more red spread over, and Mercury suddenly made a sound, and the turbulent sound spread like water ripples, and a large cloud of approaching red mist swayed in an instant.
"Go away, I'll cover you from behind!" Quicksilver shouted.
Tang Yi had only just started getting along for a day, and Tang Yi never knew that he could hand over his trust so easily. He ran wildly in multiple ways, leaving everything on his back and around to the powerful silver-haired siren. The sharp and high-pitched sound waves stirred the airflow around him, like countless invisible swords flying in the sky, breaking the red mist into pieces. Tang Yi slammed open the door on the fifteenth floor.
Here, red fog is everywhere, and the entire building seems to be soaked in a stench of red. As if cast through a scarlet lens, Tang Yi vaguely saw the huge, beating ugly monster. Countless reds gathered in it, stirring and shaking, and spirits wandered away.
Tang Yi felt that he had slammed into a huge cobweb, and wet and soft things were entangled from all directions, firmly grasping his hands, feet and throat. He struggled violently, but he was like a worm in a net, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was.
The itching on the body became more intense and had spread to the chest cavity. My limbs went numb, as if thousands of small bugs were crawling, but the touch was like a thick layer of cotton, and it didn't feel real. Tang Yi was dizzy for a while, and his eyes were blurred. It might be that he had been exposed to LEV34 for too long, and the speed of mutation had accelerated.
"Mercury..." He raised his head, but just in time to meet a wave of oncoming voices. I saw that Mercury was entangled in the red mist and hung in the air, but he continued to sing to him. The song of death cut all the shackles precisely and fiercely. Tang Yi lost consciousness in his legs, and his body fell softly on the ground. He struggled to stand up, but his legs seemed to be no longer his own, no matter how he beat them.
He looked up and saw that Mercury was not struggling. His voice had been circling around Tang Yi, and a net of protection had been woven finely, but nothing was used to relieve his own predicament. In fact, he seemed unaware of his situation.
Tang Yi saw that the red mycelium had begun to spread to Mercury's neck!
"Mercury!!!" Tang Yi took out an injection from his backpack and injected it into his body in a hurry. The hyphae quickly subsided, and the tingling feeling disappeared. The world in front of him became extremely clear. The red blood vessels all over the sky were squirming and beating, pushing towards him. The moment he stood up, all the tentacles that originally attacked Mercury shifted their targets at the same time and rushed towards Tang Yi overwhelmingly.
Tang Yi turned around and moved his legs with the fastest speed in his life. The tentacles extending from both sides kept trying to trip him, and he fell twice, then rolled and crawled back to run again. He didn't dare to look back, for fear that as soon as he looked back, he would see the tide of death that he had seen before pressing down on him.
getting closer... getting closer...
The huge, ugly heart that seemed to be made of countless tumors "gazed" silently at him. From the perspective of LEV34, Tang Yi is also a virus. The rushing viral vector was too fast for the tentacles to catch him.
But it doesn't matter, it has one last line of defense.
Tang Yi ran to the place closest to his heart and slammed over the guardrail with one hand. He divided all the remaining injections into two hands, stored all his strength in his thighs, and slammed it out. He turned into an arrow that pierced through the air, stabbing straight at LEV34's heart.
At the same time, however, a fleshy thorn shot out from the throbbing tumor.
Long whip-like fleshy thorns as thick as a baby's arm penetrated Tang Yi's body precisely and without error.
