At that moment, the guards in the restaurant all stood up and loaded their guns. The atmosphere that had relaxed before became tense again.

Mo Ye, who had been with Han Li the whole time, turned around and was about to rush to the restaurant exit. He remembered something and turned to look at Han Li.

Han Li nodded at it: "Go!"

Mo Ye ran away.

Just as Zhou Yu and Wu Yun took Li Qian and Zhou Qing back to the restaurant, they heard hurried running and screams.

"Help - help!"

Zhou Qing's research assistant, Xiao Zhao, ran frantically with a terrified face, and behind him were two researchers in long white coats. The two researchers lowered their heads, as if something was about to burst out of their mouths.

Xiao Zhao's tears were about to fall. Seeing Zhou Qing and Wu Yun, it was like seeing a life-saving straw: "Professor Zhou! Help me, help me!"

Xiao Zhao threw himself into Zhou Qing's arms.

The two researchers spit out the bone-eating worms in their mouths. Zhou Yu and Wu Yun pulled the trigger without hesitation and hit the two researchers on the forehead, and they both fell to the ground.

"Xiao Zhao! Why are you here? Didn't I let you stay with everyone in the restaurant?" Zhou Qing asked sharply.

"We've been in the car for so long, I want to go to the toilet! There were originally two guards who escorted me to the toilet, but who knew that when I came out, those two guards fell to the ground! I found that something was wrong. , I immediately rushed out of the bathroom shouting for help, but I found that the entrance door to the dining room was closed! Then the two researchers came out suddenly, I thought there was something wrong with their expressions, so I wanted to avoid them, but I The more I hide, the more they chase me. One of them even spewed out that big and disgusting bug, and I just fell and escaped! Then I ran into you again!" Xiao Zhao The panic on his face has not yet dissipated.

But Zhou Qing was dragged behind by Zhou Yu.

"Who are you? You mean the bone-eating worm that Wu Yun and I can't dodge 100%, yet you've run all the way and haven't hit it yet?"

The intensity in Zhou Yu's eyes made Xiao Zhao almost unable to lift his head.

"Did I really dodge... or did you guys just want to kill me?" Xiao Zhao stepped back while shaking his head and crying.

Li Qian is the easiest to soft-hearted. He was about to take a half step but Zhou Qing grabbed him: "Don't move."

As Xiao Zhao retreated, the lights behind him suddenly dimmed all day, and Xiao Zhao disappeared into the darkness.

Zhou Yu turned to the walkie-talkie and informed everyone: "Be careful of Professor Zhou's research assistant Zhao Xiaotian! He should have been infected by the bone-eating worm!"

"What should we do? Go after Xiao Zhao? Or go back to the restaurant?" Wu Yun asked.

"Of course, go back to the restaurant and take everyone out of this ghost place."

They still used the original formation. Wu Yun walked in front with a gun, Zhou Qing and Li Qian were in the center, and Zhou Yu turned his back and held a gun to point in the direction Xiao Zhao left, and then broke.

But just as Wu Yun took Li Qian and Zhou Qing to walk through a passage node, the gate of the passage suddenly fell. Seeing that Li Qian was about to be hit on the shoulder, Zhou Yu reacted and kicked him over. , but he was locked on the other side of the passage.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu!" Wu Yong patted the door hard.

Zhou Yu said to the walkie-talkie: "This door will fall, which means that someone is monitoring us and manipulating the system here! Wu Yun, take Li Qian to another place where you can operate the computer and take back the control of the system! "

Wu Yun gritted his teeth. He knew that it was impossible to open the door with their strength: "Okay! I'll take Li Qian to find the computer now! We will keep in touch at any time!"

"Of course." Zhou Yu turned around and stared at the darkness in front of him.

Zhou Yu was almost certain that the infection of this observatory by the bone-eating worm was largely man-made, and the initiator was the person sitting in front of the computer, watching all this through the screen.

Wu Yun, but Li Qian and Zhou Qing moved forward all the way. Every research room was locked, and they could not enter at all.

"Damn..." Wu Yun gritted his teeth. At this moment, he was worried about Zhou Yu's safety. The longer he stayed in the dark passage, the more dangerous it would be.

Wu Yun picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the people in the restaurant: "Evacuate everyone from the observation station."

But the response was that the exit of the observation station was also blocked.

"Are we going to be left here to be food for the bone worms?" Li Qian asked.

Darkness always has a frightening effect, especially when nothing can be seen. Zhou Yu was concentrating, he could feel something moving towards him.

Suddenly, he took out the spare flashlight pinned to his thigh, and the straight line of light shone out, just right on Xiao Zhao's pale face.

He smiled and looked at Zhou Yu, his expression was exactly the same as that of Professor Lu before, very scary.

Before he could bend down, Zhou Yu suddenly turned sideways away from the light that turned off the flashlight, then pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the wall.

Zhou Yu held his breath and moved his steps very carefully. Where is Xiao Zhao now? Which direction will he be in? Zhou Yu listened very carefully.

At a certain moment, he felt a gust of air hitting him, Zhou Yu squatted down sharply, raised his pistol and shot in that direction decisively, and then quickly moved his position.

In the darkness he heard something fall, and the sound of muscles tearing apart.

Finally, the flashlight was turned on again, and it happened to shine on Xiao Zhao's wide-eyed face. His mouth was almost split open, and a bone-eating worm was exposed and died.

Zhou Yu calmed down his breathing, he knew that all this was not the end, but the beginning of some kind.

The moment he stood up, the node in the front passage suddenly opened, the darkness was suddenly replaced by light, and Zhou Yu almost didn't open his eyes.

But this kind of light is icy cold, and the brighter it is, the more gloomy it is in my heart.

Only the front passage was opened, which meant that the other party only allowed Zhou Yu to continue walking forward instead of retreating.

At this moment, Wu Yun was very anxious. He came to the door of a laboratory, raised his gun at the door of the laboratory, and fired several shots.

"This is useless. If the door of the laboratory can be easily opened by bullets, it is not the laboratory of Juli Group."

Zhou Qing replied.

"That's right! There is also Mo Ye! Mo Ye's power is great! Maybe it can smash the doors of these nodes! And as an A-level creature, it may be able to control these bone-eating worms like a sand whale!" Wu Yun immediately contacted Han Li.

"Mo Ye seems to know that you are in danger and has already gone to find you!" Han Li's answer made everyone exhale.

"Just... Where did Mo Ye go?" Wu Yun frowned, "Are you going to equip Mo Ye with a walkie-talkie in the future?"

"Let's not rely on Mo Ye all the time! Let's see if there is anything we can do now? Use the bomb equipped by Wu Yun to blow up that passage door, does Professor Zhou think it is feasible?" Li Qian asked Zhou Qing.

"How many bombs does Wu Yun have?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Three. We can try to blast the door of the lab!"

Zhou Qing sighed: "I can only try it like this, although I don't think the result is optimistic."

At this time, Zhou Yu held a gun and stopped it statically.

He knew that even if he didn't come forward, the hidden enemy would naturally come.

After more than ten seconds, the entire passage was so quiet that the whole world was asleep. Zhou Yu's heart was beating vigorously, and he said to himself: Even the worst result has been seen before.

As if testing his patience, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Zhou Yu always maintained an alert attitude, and the arm holding the gun did not even shake.

He knew that in this contest, either he lost patience and stepped forward, or the opponent lost patience.

At a certain moment when Zhou Yu was breathing, a clatter was heard in the front passage, and something fell from above.

Zhou Yu's shoulders tensed instantly, it was a group of guards who had been eaten by bone-eating worms, and their muscles were beginning to fester!

Turns out they were still at the base!

Zhou Yu's eyes widened, watching one of the shaking eyes that had no focus suddenly stared at him.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yu immediately pulled the trigger. But that body is far more flexible than Zhou Yu imagined. He suddenly moved to one side, the other guards scattered suddenly, and the bullet swiped over the shoulder of one of the guards and hit the passage door.

The whole passage seemed to vibrate.

A total of eight people rushed towards Zhou Yu at the same time.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu held back just now and did not step forward, otherwise he would have no chance to take action when he was so close!

In the eyes of those guards, there was a madness that had already lost their humanity. Some of the faces were so festered that their facial features could not be recognized, and some of the limbs were connected with only bones. It seemed that Zhou Yu was the last nourishment, and the bone-eating worms were sprayed out of their mouths, like No arrows.

Time seems to compress a century into a second in an instant.

Zhou Yu pulled the trigger and fired the first shot, hitting one of them. The bone-eating worm in his mouth burst open an arm's length away from Zhou Yu. The other seven people rushed over, and Zhou Yu had to make a judgment in an instant, who to shoot first, who to shoot later, and how to shoot!

The bullet seemed to come out of the chamber without thinking, Zhou Yu turned sideways to avoid a bone-eating worm, and then lowered his body, feeling that something was passing over the top of his bent back at high speed, and he raised his hand and shot again. He jumped up with one hand on the ground, kicked a guy who had run in front of him with one foot, quickly retreated, opened the distance, locked the position by feeling, and Zhou Yu fired another shot.

Zhou Yu replaced the clips at the fastest speed, but when he raised the gun, a guard member had already come to Zhou Yu, looked into his turbid eyes, and saw that the bone-eating worm in his mouth was about to reappear. When it was sprayed out, everything seemed to turn into slow motion in Zhou Yu's eyes. Zhou Yu raised the muzzle and hit the opponent's knee. The neurotoxin spread instantly, and Zhou Yu could even feel the disgusting creature's worm in Zhou Yu. The temperature dropped instantly.

The moment the guard fell, Zhou Yu was shocked to realize that the remaining two had already arrived in front of him, one left and one right, but it was too late.

Zhou Yu raised his gun and said to himself that killing one counts as one!

Just as he hit the one on the left and he was about to be bitten by the bone-eater on the right, it burst open.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes wide and dodged subconsciously, but it was too late to avoid the splashing plasma and pus.

At that moment, a hand stretched out from behind Zhou Yu and covered Zhou Yu's face, Zhou Yu stepped back, and his back slammed into someone's chest.

The heart was suddenly buckled.

There is no one else here besides him!

Is it an infected escort

Zhou Yu pushed his elbow back, and the other party stepped back directly. At that moment, he felt something warm sip his earlobe.

Such a familiar temperature and sense of security... Zhou Yu turned around and raised his gun, seeing a familiar face.

With fair skin, graceful but not feminine features, his brows and eyes have a light and languid demeanor, but he has such a young and pure face.

"You dodged too quickly. I wanted to hold you for a while longer."

He took a step forward and stood up to Zhou Yu's gun in a grand manner.

"My bullet contains neurotoxin." Zhou Yu replied.

But the other party pressed closer. He lowered his head slightly and turned his face to the side, as if to see Zhou Yu's eyes more clearly.

"Then why don't you try shooting. See if you can actually kill me."

His eyes are beautiful, but his vision is extremely powerful, as if he was pulling out Zhou Yu's thinking ability in circles.

For the first time, Zhou Yu found that even his self-controlled breathing seemed to have lost its proper frequency.

"How did you get in!" Zhou Yu stared at the other side stubbornly.

The teenager pointed to the top of his head, and Zhou Yu realized that the ventilation channel had been opened and the air replacement blades had been removed.

The young man pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were sly with meaning, he pressed Zhou Yu's muzzle harder, and Zhou Yu could only retreat.

This young man knew Zhou Yu's bottom line better than anyone, but in a willful manner, he pushed Zhou Yu's bottom line back again and again.

"Don't you want to know who the person who keeps so many bone-eating worms is?" The young man said, his face was too close to Zhou Yu, so close that his breath swept over Zhou Yu's body with a slight force that could not be ignored. between the lips.

"Are they bred?"

This was completely beyond Zhou Yu's expectations.

The boy's fingers touched Zhou Yu's fingertips holding the trigger, and with a light push, he removed the gun.

Zhou Yu's eyes widened, all this happened so naturally, he didn't even have time to react.

The teenager walked in front of Zhou Yu and walked past the bodies of the guards. He turned his head in his heart and found that Zhou Yu was still standing there.

"Are you afraid of me?" The boy smiled, the originally cold light falling too much on the corners of his sunken lips, creating an unusual sense of mystery.

"Of course not." Zhou Yu lowered his face and followed behind the other party.

Take Zhou Yu's question, but don't know where to start.

The road in front of them was blocked by the nodes. The young man just laughed softly, put his hand on the door, pushed his shoulders back slightly, and the whole door was pushed down.

It fell arrogantly, and the sound of touching the ground lingered in the passage.

Zhou Yu sucked in a breath, but the young man turned to look at Zhou Yu, as if waiting for his approach, until Zhou Yu came to him and put the gun on his finger and stretched it out in front of Zhou Yu.

"Although you can't use it with me, but I think... you'll want to destroy that guy yourself."

Zhou Yu took his gun, and at the same moment, the young man suddenly leaned towards him. Those eyes were so clear that they seemed to reflect the sunlight on the lake, and they were inexplicably familiar.

His lips were getting closer and closer to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu even began to subconsciously imagine the temperature and touch of the boy's lips. At the moment when Zhou Yu's heartbeat became unbalanced, the boy suddenly straightened his back and said with a smile, "Let's go."

He turned to leave, Zhou Yu looked at his back, but didn't understand the reason for his momentary absence just now.

There was still silence in the passage, only the footsteps of the two of them, and as they moved forward step by step, the footsteps of the two gradually merged into one.

This gave Zhou Yu a feeling that he was the only one left in the world, and that the young man in front of him was just an illusion born out of desperation.

Has he been devoured by the bone eater

The boy's footsteps suddenly stopped, he smiled and waved to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu came to him, followed his line of sight and saw a research room.

Through the glass of the second door of the research room, Zhou Yu saw a female researcher sitting in front of the computer. She looked at Zhou Yu in horror, her body was trembling, but she was stiff and motionless.

Zhou Yu turned his face to the side, only to find that there was a gun on the researcher's head, but it was blocked by the door, so he couldn't see the other's face.

"Someone forced her to control the surveillance system here?" Zhou Yu frowned.

The young man smiled indifferently, put his hand on the first door, and with a single force, the door was removed.

Zhou Yu once again realized the power of this S-class creature. Mo Ye can break through these passages, let alone an S-class creature like him.

The teenager walked past the first door, raised his foot, and easily kicked open the second door. It slammed straight into the researcher's desk, causing her to close her eyes and scream.

Zhou Yu walked in and saw that beside her, a member of the escort team held a gun and pointed at the researcher's head.

His face was already festering, with nosebleeds from time to time. When Zhou Yu walked in, he immediately stood behind the researcher.

He didn't say a word, but when Zhou Yu also stepped forward with a gun, he used the muzzle of the gun to push the back of the female researcher's head, meaning that if he got closer, he would kill her.

The female researcher shrugged her shoulders in fear, and her face was full of tears. She dared not open her eyes, for fear that her heartbeat would end there.

She closed her eyes and kept repeating: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... help me... help me..."

The man behind her who was parasitized by the bone-eater worm lowered his head from time to time, as if he was struggling to suppress the bone-eater worm in his body.

Zhou Yu slightly loosened his fingers and moved his steps in parallel, looking for opportunities and angles to shoot.

"If I were you, I would kill this woman directly." The boy raised the corners of his lips with a hint of ridicule in his smile. He didn't take the female researcher's life in his eyes.

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the young man with the corner of his eyes: "With your ability, even without bullets, you can kill the bone-eating worm."

"But I just like to see her terrified." The boy pointed his finger in the direction of the female researcher comfortably.

Zhou Yu's expression became cold, and he looked back at the female researcher with indifferent eyes. Her name was written on her badge: "If you don't tell the truth, I will shoot, Dr. Lin."

"...what..." Dr. Lin showed a stunned expression.

"It's very simple, the time that the bone worm parasites in each body is limited. When the nutrients in one body are exhausted, it will of course choose another body to obtain nutrients again. The host behind you, obviously It's almost impossible to meet the needs of the bone-eater, but he endures it so hard that he won't parasitize you? The creatures here do have intelligence to a certain extent, especially the B-level creatures like the bone-eater. I can There are only two reasons to imagine that he endured not to attack you. One is that your body has been eroded by bone-eating worms, and the other is that you have a special connection with these bone-eating worms, and the usefulness of your life is high to them. been parasitized."

"They're here to keep me alive to control the system here... just to trap you here, so they can get more and more food... If it's just me, they'll be nutritious soon enough!" Dr. Lin cried explained.

Zhou Yu's expression did not waver in the slightest. Although Dr. Lin's expression was full of fear, there was a sense of defense in her eyes. This kind of defense is not for the bone-eating worm, but for Zhou Yu.

But even so, Zhou Yu was not sure whether he should shoot a human who was not parasitized.

At this moment, the young man approached lazily step by step, completely ignoring the guards behind Dr. Lin who were parasitized by bone-eating worms.

He rested his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, while Dr. Lin subconsciously leaned back and put the back of his head on the gun.

"Actually, there's no bullet in the gun, right? You're also worried about what to do if the gun goes off and actually hits you?"
