They are all biochemical bodies, and they are also first-level hidden guards.

Qiu Shi felt that the main body hiding behind these meat mountains shouting at them was completely different from Xing Bi and the others.

Maybe it's because he has been wandering around in the outside world, looking for opportunities for revenge against humans and the Xingbi who stand on the side of humans these years, and maybe he has greater ambitions.

In contrast, Qiu Shi felt that Zheng Ting was closer to human beings than Xing Bi and others.

Persistent hatred, unbridled anger, and unscrupulous cruelty that takes advantage of the weak...

There is also this perverted hobby of controlling a bunch of infected people and suddenly shouting at people.

"The subject is not within the scope of the map," Qiu Shi scolded and quickly returned to the state, "All that can be seen are infected people."

"Rush over." Xing Bi said.

The cooperation between Lin Sheng and Xing Bi was as if they had preset 10,000 different response modes, without the need for communication at all, so Qiu Shi knew that this sentence was meant for him.

"I rushed...how the hell did I..." He was very shocked, but still gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator amid doubts.

One step ahead of his car was the group of four.

When Xing Bi spoke, they had already rushed towards the infected meat mountain at the same time. The speed and power were amazing, and the wind behind them rolled up the black mist.

When Qiu Shi stepped on the accelerator, they had already crashed into the mountain of meat.

"Your ancestor!" Qiu Shi squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

Did he want this car to hit hard? It's so big that it can't go through.

But he had no other choice. Li Gouguan said that if he chooses to believe, all he has to do is keep believing.

No matter how many thoughts passed through his mind, he never let go of the accelerator.

When they rushed to a position more than ten meters away from the meat mountain, a huge explosion sounded, and the fire and air waves bursting out from inside the meat mountain instantly tore apart the infected people who were tightly squeezed together.

Xing Bi and the others left the bomb in the mountain when they crashed through it.

Qiu Shi's car rushed into the flying corpses in a chaotic light and shadow.

Except disgusting, there is a way out.

However, I can still feel the hard or soft road surface under the wheels, as well as the tangled and sticky feeling that I can't think about.

After rushing through the mountain, Xing Bi looked back at him.

"Fuck!" Qiu Shi cursed to express his mood at the moment.

Xing Bi curled his lips.

Just when Qiu Shi was about to scold Xing Bi again, two small bright spots appeared on the upper left side of the map.

"Here we come!" He reported the coordinates, "Two."

"There will be more," Xing Bi said, "going forward."

The group of four pressed forward quickly. Qiu Shi found that apart from throwing mines, they rarely used guns and almost always used knives. The infected people all used puppet-style pounce attacks. To kill them, they also needed to be destroyed. Above the neck, with the combat power of the submarine, it is indeed faster to use a knife.

And these infected people who kept pounced on were not their targets. Qiu Shi knew very well that the reason why they needed to clean up quickly and move forward was to find the super symbiote, the source of this nest.

The direction from which the two symbiotes came may be the location of the super symbiont.

Qiu Shi followed and looked at the icons and buttons on the dashboard of the car. It was the latest model of the Yuncheng military. It was so new that no one had ever seen it. This shape was born for fighting. It was on the body. The fact that it can move forward easily after being covered with flesh and blood on its wheels has proven its defense and maneuverability, so it must have offensive weapons.

Li Feng and Captain Yang probably didn't expect that the car would be thrown into battle in such a hurry, and they didn't come with an instruction manual. Qiu Shi had to drive while staring at the map and scanning the dashboard.

Xing Bi and the others were around the car, and he didn't dare to press the button casually...

Two bright spots on the map came toward them quickly, followed closely by three more.

"Three more, five in total." When Qiu Shi said this, his heart trembled slightly, feeling that they were the same five people last time.

"Is he still used to five people?" Lin Sheng said.

Qiu Shi suddenly realized that this Zheng Ting was probably not a latent guard from the same group as Xing Bi.

"Are you used to four people?" Qiu Shi asked.

"There are five of us now," Ji Sui said.

"Are all first-level submarine guards so good at talking?" Qiu Shi smiled.

"There are also people who don't speak." Lin Sheng said.

A few short words in the chaos and tension gave Qiu Shi a brief moment of relaxation, and then the two fastest symbiotes over there rushed within fifty meters of them.

"Turn on the lights." Xing Bi said.

What the hell are you driving? What the fuck are you turning on? Where the hell are there lights? Why the hell didn't Li Feng give me an instruction manual

Countless questions flashed through Qiu Shi's mind, but his hand only stayed in the air for less than a second before he pressed the button that looked like a sun, and at the same time he was already looking at the other button that looked like half a sun. .

Once this one went dark, he could immediately press the other one.

Everything in front of the car appeared like a huge screen suddenly spread out in front of him after he pressed the button.

The white woods, the dazzling snow, the infected with clear and sharp outlines, and the two symbiotes rushing straight ahead.

The sudden bright light gave them an extremely brief pause.

At this moment, Xing Bi and Lin Sheng had already rushed to the two nearest symbiotes. Their knives pierced the necks of the symbiotes at the same time. Then Xing Bi kicked the one in front of him and rushed behind him. The third symbiote.

At the same time as the collision, Ji Sui jumped up from the tree next to him, punched down from the air, and shattered the symbiote's neck. When the fourth symbiote's gun was raised, Xu Jie struck him from the side with a knife. On the back of the neck.

Then the infected people poured out from all around, rushing towards them like stacks of Arhats.

The infected people controlled by the killed symbiote were obviously not this batch.

The opponent is also very smart. The main body controlling the close group of infected people is behind. Even if the main body in front is killed, it will not affect the attack of the infected people.

But this time, Xing Bi did not seize control of the infected person from the opponent's subject.

Four people were instantly overwhelmed by the infected.

The illuminated forest is like an overexposed stage. The chaos is amplified by the strong light, and a white figure suddenly breaks into the "stage" from the darkness.

Qiu Shi grabbed the gun at hand and opened the car door.

There was no time to report the coordinates and wait for Xing Bi and the others to get rid of the infected and attack them.

Without even having time to lean out, Qiu Shi directly put the gun into the gap in the car door and fired a series of shots at that direction.

After the gun hit the man, he said: "Xu Jie, stay behind."

Xu Jie's hand holding the gun stretched out from the infected person who was knocked away, and accurately hit the symbiote that had been shot by Qiu Shi.

Qiu Shi quickly returned to the car with his gun and closed the door.

"Zheng Ting is not here." Lin Sheng said.

The infected people attacking around them were temporarily confused due to the death of the main body. At the same time, some began to continue walking deeper into the woods.

"Follow." Xing Bi said.

Qiu Shi stepped on the accelerator and ran over the corpses of the infected people. The corpses were piled on top of each other. The car was a little bumpy as it passed. He lost control and the front of the car nudged Xing Bi, who was walking in front, on his butt.

Xing Bi turned around: "What do you mean, partner?"

"Say hello," Qiu Shi said.

"Hi." Xing Bi pushed his butt back.

The three people walking next to him turned their heads at the same time. Even though their emotions were as stable as biochemical bodies, there was uncontrollable shock in their eyes.

"Fuck | Your ancestor, Xing Bi." Qiu Shi burst into laughter.

A few of them have completely penetrated deep into the trees. Although the trees are sparse, the branches that have turned completely black look particularly weird against the dazzling white snow, like rugged monsters with twisted limbs. .

Under the trampled snow on the ground, you can see all kinds of black.

This nest is very big. I wonder if the super symbiote at the source will be bigger than the one in the previous nest No. 1. Thinking of the black humanoid monster whose whole body was covered with thick fungus, Qiu Shi still remembers that thing lifting up. Pointing to the scene between him and Xing Bishi.

That thing won't be shown on the map. You can only follow the infected and rely on Xing Bi to sense it.

The lights on the car were never turned off. As the car slowly moved forward, the bright light continued to illuminate farther places.

"In front." Xing Bi stopped.

After saying this, the four of them started almost at the same time, cleaning up the infected people within a semicircle in front of the car.

At the edge of the strong light, Qiu Shi saw a standing black shadow.

Just like the original source, the thick black fungus on his body made him no longer recognizable as a human being, and the black spores around him were flying and scattered in the wind.

"It exploded directly." Xing Bi said.

Qiu Shi turned around and was about to take the small cannon lying next to him. If it didn't explode or something unexpected happened, he could make two more shots.

As soon as his hand touched the cannon, he suddenly heard a small and sharp sound.

"What's the sound?" He turned his head sharply.

The super symbiote over there was no longer where it was. The thing that Qiu Shi had remembered as immovable actually took two steps forward and raised its head as if roaring.

But there was no roar matching his form.

There was only the subtle, sharp, vague high-frequency sound that Qiu Shi heard.

Xing Bi did not answer him.

The foursome stood motionless.

"Xing Bi!" Qiu Shi roared, "Speak out for me!"

Xing Bi still didn't move.

Lin Sheng and the others also stopped and seemed to stay in place.

It's this voice.

It seems to have no effect on humans, but it can affect biochemical bodies or symbionts.

"Fuck | Your ancestor." Qiu Shi opened the car door, pulled off the small cannon, put it on his shoulder, pointed it at the super symbiote and pressed fire.

When the cannonball flew forward with flames, Qiu Shi saw that the ghost-like thing actually moved a lot backwards.

However, the cannonball hit very close to him, so in theory it wouldn't be a big problem to inflict hemiplegia on him.

But after the smoke and dust passed, Qiu Shi found that the thing was still standing, and traces of shrapnel could even be seen on its body.

The black attached fungus was like a thick layer of armor, and the shot did not cause any obvious damage to him.

"Xing Bi!" Qiu Shi called Xing Bi again.

When he was preparing to attack again with his cannon, a figure suddenly jumped up from behind the super symbiote. When he landed, Qiu Shi could see his face clearly under the strong light.

It's Zheng Ting.

Without giving Qiu Shi any buffer time, Zheng Ting rushed towards Xing Bi.

Qiu Shi felt the advantage of his strengthened body at this moment. He pressed launch again on the super symbiote. At the same time, he made a fist with his left hand and pulled it to the left.

This was the shortest control gesture among the control gestures that Director Wu showed him at the beginning. It would be automatically released in less than one second. The control function was to temporarily interrupt thinking.

Qiu Shi didn't know if it was useful, but in Xing Bi's current state, he could only judge that his brain was affected by the sound. The cannonball could not hit the agile Zheng Ting. This short moment of control allowed Xing Bi to avoid Zheng Ting. This blow is the only way.

Xing Bi's body shook slightly.

woke up!

When the shell hit the super symbiote, Zheng Ting rushed to Xing Bi.

Xing Bi raised his hand and grabbed Zheng Ting's arm that hit his throat hard.

But it was still a step slower. With such a distance and such speed, Xing Bi's reaction time was only enough for him to force Zheng Ting's arm down.

Qiu Shi saw Zheng Ting's fist pass through Xing Bi's abdomen and come out from the back.

The fist mixed with Xing Bi's blood also holds a metal hook. When the fist is pulled out, it will cause huge damage to Xing Bi's body.

At this moment, Qiu Shi felt that his heart had stopped beating, and the sharp ringing in his ears suddenly increased in volume, drowning out all sounds.

Including his own roar.

"Xing Bi—"

The infected person jumped on Qiu Shi, hugged his arms, entangled his legs, and strangled his neck...

"Fuck you... ancestors!" Qiu Shi struggled to walk towards Xing Bi.

He could see that Zheng Ting's hand was controlled by Xing Bi and could not be withdrawn from Xing Bi's body. The hook was shaking in front of Qiu Shi's eyes.

He wanted to get the gun, but the infected wrapped around him, making it impossible for him to reach the gun on his leg.

The only thing he could do was to use all his strength to drag the bunch of infected people closer to the front of the car.

There's a winch there.

Qiu Shi gritted his teeth and grabbed the steel cable on the winch, pulled it out suddenly, wrapped it around Zheng Ting's wrist holding the hook, and then slapped the switch of the winch hard.

The motor started working and the cable tightened suddenly.

Qiu Shi held on tightly to the buckle at the top of the steel cable. Blood gushed out from where his hand was being strangled, but he felt no pain at all. He only stared at the steel cable, watching as it bit into Zheng Ting's body. In the wrist.

"Ah—" Zheng Ting roared.

His wrist was severely severed by the steel cable.

The hand and the barb it held fell to the ground. Just then, the super-symbiote's shrill chirping stopped.

Xing Bi let go of one hand and punched Zheng Ting hard on the throat. Zheng Ting was knocked back and his severed arm was pulled out from Xing Bi's abdomen, with blood dripping from it. It was unclear whether it was him or not. Yes, it’s still Xing Bi’s.

Lin Sheng and the others, who were standing still, broke free from control at this moment, and three sharp knives pierced Zheng Ting's neck from three directions at the same time.

The infected people around them stopped moving at this moment.

The chaotic scene suddenly seemed to be paused, and the whole world fell silent.

Zheng Ting's eyes widened and he stared at Xing Bi.

"Humans..." he said slowly, "are not friends."

"But neither are you." Xing Bi said.

"You take them...into the darkness."

Three knives were drawn out, and Zheng Ting fell to the ground.

When Qiu Shi came to his senses, Lin Sheng and the others had already helped Xing Bi sit down against the front of the car.

"How's it going?" He rushed over, his hands trembling slightly as he tried to lift Xing Bi's clothes to take a look at the wound.

Xing Bi grabbed his hand: "It doesn't look good."

"Whose wound can look good?" Qiu Shi said.

"Scary." Xing Bi said.

"I can pick out the corpses from all over the fucking ground and sort them into my own pile." Qiu Shi shook off his hand and lifted up his clothes, "Will you still be frightened by your injury?"

It's a bit scary indeed.

Qiu Shi might not feel this injury on others, but now this fist-sized penetrating injury from the left abdomen to the left lower back was on Xing Bi, and it could scare him anyway.

"Will you die?" Qiu Shi felt his voice trembling when he asked.

"No," Xing Bi said, "but it's impossible to repair it yourself."

"They will come again." Lin Sheng said.

"Go back to wash the horse first," Xing Bi glanced at the fallen super symbiote over there, "Take that one back."

Several people moved quickly to treat Xing Bi's wounds, temporarily stop the bleeding, get him into the car, and tie the super symbiote to the roof of the car with ropes.

"Where is he?" Ji Sui looked at Zheng Ting on the ground and asked.

"Stay here." Xing Bi said.

Several people got into the car. Qiu Shi turned off the strong headlights, and the car turned around and drove towards Xima Town along the original road.

In the rearview mirror, you can see Zheng Ting's body on the messy black and white snow, getting away bit by bit, and finally being swallowed into the darkness.

If it were Director Wu or Li Feng, a symbiote of Zheng Ting's level would probably be brought back to the laboratory.

Qiu Shi knew why Xing Bi didn't take him away and bring him back to the laboratory. Zheng Ting might never really die. Director Wu would collect as much information from him as possible, and maybe experiment again and again...

Although they are on opposite sides of the same kind, they are still the same kind after all. Xing Bi is very clear about what he and his kind mean to some human beings. Zheng Ting finally chose another path. The root cause is still the saying "human beings are not friends." .

On the way back, sporadic infected people could still be seen, because without the "call" of the supersymbiosis, they did not continue to move northwest, but began to wander aimlessly in the wilderness.

This super symbiote is much larger than the one brought back from Lair No. 1 before. It seems to have abilities that No. 1 did not have. The position was unscathed. Whether these super symbiotes were inherently strong or weak, or whether they were improved by a certain "Director Wu" from Zheng Ting's side, no one knew.

Qiu Shi felt that his mind was very confused. One moment he would be thinking about the thing on the roof of the car, and the next moment his mind would be filled with Xing Bi's injuries.

When he looked towards Xing Bi for the countless times, Xing Bi turned his head and glanced at him: "I won't feel any pain now, and I definitely won't die. Don't worry."

"It really doesn't hurt," Qiu Shi said, "Then why did Zheng Ting scream so miserably when one of his hands was cut off?"

"That is unwilling pain and despair," Xing Bi said, "it does not originate from the physical body."

Qiu Shi said nothing.

The three people sitting crowded in the back seat were silent since they got in the car.

I don't know if he felt something when he was being controlled, but Qiu Shi always felt that there was a little sadness in their calmness. This sadness not only came from Xing Bi's injury, but also from other things.

Their other car was still parked where it was. Lin Sheng went to that car, and Ji Sui and Xu Jie also moved there so that they could get out of the car and hide first.

At this time, Qiu Cai asked in a low voice: "Are they okay?"

"I don't know," Xing Bi said, "They may... think of a lot of things just like me before."

"Is it because of Zheng Ting?" Qiu Shi asked.

"Well," Xing Bi responded, "Zheng Ting is very strong. If he hadn't... separated from us, he would have been the team leader."

Qiu Shi was silent for a while before asking again: "Will that have any impact on Lin Sheng and the others? If they..."

"When they first chose to come to Yuncheng," Xing Bi said, "their memories were not locked, and they will not be affected now."

When approaching Xima Town, Qiu Shi answered Zhao Yi's call.

"Have Captain Yang immediately arrange for a medical vehicle to go to the village outside," Qiu Shi said. "We also need extra-large protective shields and cleaning agents. Leave the things behind and everyone will evacuate the scene."

"Understood," Zhao Yi said, "Who is injured?"

"Xing Bi." Qiu Shi said.

"What about you?" Zhao Yi asked.

"I'm fine." Qiu Shi said.

"... Got it," Zhao Yi said, "I'll make arrangements right away."

Li Feng pushed open the door of Director Wu's office: "Old Wu!"

"Ouch!" Curator Wu was lying on the sofa taking a nap, and he jumped up in fright at his voice, "What are you doing!"

"I have a gift for you." Li Feng sat down in front of his desk, threw out his pet, and projected a picture on the wall next to him.

A huge black super symbiote was lying in the protective shield. The fungus on its body was still growing, and black spores could be seen floating around.

"What is this?" Director Wu asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Qiu Shi got it from the large lair northwest of Xima," Li Feng said. "Is it different from the supercommunist in the laboratory?"

"Yes," Curator Wu leaned closer to the projection to see it more clearly, "The supercoat attachment layer is more...complex. Are there any other detailed pictures?"

"No." Li Feng said.

"Where's the real thing?" Curator Wu asked.

"If necessary, it can be sent to the laboratory early tomorrow morning at the latest." Li Feng said.

"Okay!" Director Wu nodded, and after two seconds turned around and looked at Li Feng, "Director Li, is that not why you came here?"

"Director Wu is aware of everything." Li Feng said.

"Say it." Director Wu said.

"Xing Bi is injured," Li Feng said, "and needs to be treated confidentially in the laboratory."

"Confidentiality?" Director Wu looked at him, "The scope of confidentiality?"

"You and me." Li Feng said.

"I knew it!" Director Wu pointed at him, "I knew you wouldn't do it for no reason..."

"Director Wu," Li Feng stood up and pulled his hands aside, "it is impossible to hide the loss of two first-level hidden guards forever. Now is the best opportunity to make amends."

Director Wu looked at him.

"The situation is urgent. Once the infected people in the northwest lair successfully gather, the attack on Yuncheng will be fatal. In order to avoid wasting too much time on the complicated application process," Li Feng said, "we have no choice but to kill first and then play later. In this crisis It was successfully defused and important research information was brought back..."

"Li Feng," Director Wu said, "you are really a fucking talent."

"Thank you." Li Feng said.

"No matter how much you make up for your mistakes, they are still mistakes," Director Wu said, "Do you really think you can make up for this mistake? Are you taking advantage of us..."

"Without us, Lao Wu," Li Feng interrupted him, "With only me, how could you let you take the blame? I will make up for this."

Director Wu didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he pointed at him: "You have already thought about it. With your ability, you may be able to use this matter to be promoted to minister."

"I'm not interested in these," Li Feng said. "Director Wu really doesn't understand me."

"Then I was tricked by you," Director Wu said, "What did I miss?"

"No merit, no fault," Li Feng said, "Old Wu, what's safer than this?"

"You are really the most suitable person to survive in this world," Director Wu looked at him, "Tell me, since I have done nothing in this matter and it has nothing to do with me, what else do you want to do here?"

"Everything I said has prerequisites," Li Feng said. "The prerequisite for you to achieve nothing is... can symbiosis be reversible?"

"What?" Director Wu said.

"Is the symbiotic state of biochemical bodies reversible?" Li Feng asked.

"Who asked you to ask?" Director Wu asked.

"Xing Bi." Li Feng said, "This is the condition of the deal."
