To be honest, Ji Thrush really wanted to know what was in the suitcase.
Rose is right, if that's not what they need, there's really no need to keep carrying this thing that gets in the way all the way.
So Ren Jianmo opened the suitcase.
Inside the box was a syringe filled with light blue liquid.
At this time, the child timidly said:
"This is, the vaccine... I've seen it..."
Annie looked down at the child in her arms, her eyes flickered, she opened her mouth, her expression hesitated to speak.
Ji thrush felt regretful in his heart.
He regretted why he didn't insist on dragging Mr. Dagen to escape together? Otherwise, with the vaccine in the box, he wouldn't have to die!
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a bullet being loaded.
A gun was pressed against Anne's back.
"Give me the vaccine!"
Rose's voice was cold and ruthless, "Otherwise, I will kill their mother and daughter, and everyone will die here together!"
Ji Thrush looked at Rose in surprise, his eyes shifted from her ferocious expression to her hands holding the gun.
Only then did he realize that the inside of the cuff of the camouflage jacket with the left hand of the red-haired beauty, which was in the pocket just now, had been stained dark brown at some point.
"You... you were bitten?"
Ji Thrush suddenly realized what happened.
The battle just now was so chaotic, he didn't even notice when Rose was injured.
Apparently, she was bitten on the wrist by a monster, and if there is no vaccine, she will soon fade away and become a skeleton.
"Do not talk nonsense!"
The wrist injury and the fear of mutating made Rose very irritable.
She has been trying to restrain her emotions just now, not wanting Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo to find out the flaws, now that the vaccine is close at hand, her endurance and acting skills have reached the limit:
"Give me the vaccine!"
"Rose, don't be like this..."
Ji Thrush frowned, turned to look at Ren Jianmo, and said to the red-haired beauty:
"If you are injured, of course the vaccine will be given to you..."
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Rose deflected the muzzle of the gun, and without saying a word, fired four shots at the feet of the two of them.
"I'm serious, give me the vaccine!!"
Ren Jianmo raised his hand and threw the vaccine over.
Rose caught the needle with one hand.
It's just obvious that even if she got the vaccine, she didn't intend to put down the gun until she successfully injected it into her body, and she couldn't inject herself with the medicine with one hand.
So Rose simply stuffed the vaccine into the hands of the helpless little boy, and tore the thin child out of his adoptive mother's arms, wrapping one hand in her arms.
Then, while aiming at the others with her gun, she ordered Su Lin:
"Help me get the needle, you know how to do it?!"
The little boy nodded.
Just like all children who are frightened and dare not resist after being threatened, he obediently and obediently pulled off the cap of the vaccine, and pushed the injection into Rose's shoulder.
After the injection entered her body, Ji Thrush saw that Rose's expression, which had been extremely tense, had visibly relaxed.
But she didn't return Su Lin to Annie immediately, instead she took two steps back vigilantly, and murmured as she retreated:
"I'm sorry... I can't help it..."
Her gaze flicked back and forth between Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo, especially the long-haired young man's face.
Rose has no confidence in these two people who met by chance.
Especially in a two-on-one situation, she was very afraid that the two of them would settle accounts with her for the vaccine, so she didn't dare to let the little boy go. After all, they had to rely on Su Lin to lead the way, and he was worth as a hostage.
In fact, Rose had the idea of just firing a bunch of bullets at Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo so as to avoid future troubles, but before she made up her mind to shoot, she hesitated again.
Although she cherished her life, she never managed to be so ruthless. What's more, this "world" is too difficult. She didn't think she could find the Luna Stone with her own ability, and then leave the research institute...
Rose kept thinking about these things in her mind.
She felt sober and sane.
—I've been vaccinated, so I don't have to worry about infection anymore, and I won't turn into a monster...
However, in the eyes of others, the appearance of the rose is very strange.
The red-haired beauty's originally wheat-colored skin began to have black spots as large as needlepoints scattered everywhere. Soon, these tiny spots began to spread and merge, like the mottled black lines on the world map, all over her body. whole body.
Then, a kind of asphalt-like thick black mucus with metallic luster gushed out from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, covering her originally bright face...
But Rose seemed unaware of her changes, her eyes were out of focus, her pupils turned up, and her lips moved back and forth, as if she was muttering to herself...
"All right."
At this time, the little boy who was hugged by Rose suddenly spoke, with clear words and a cold tone:
"It's time, let's go."
Rose seemed to have received the order, turned her head away, and jumped to the closed elevator in two steps, hugged the child tightly with one hand, stretched out the other hand, and inserted it into the closed door with a "boom".
"Sulin!!"
Annie screamed.
"Fuck!"
Ji thrush was so frightened that the roots of his hair would stand on end.
He saw that Meigui, a girl, tore a big gap in a two-centimeter-thick steel plate with just one hand, like opening a can, and then hugged Su Lin and dived into the elevator shaft!
&&& &&& &&&
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo led Annie, chasing Rose who climbed into the elevator shaft, all the way to the top floor of the research institute.
"That's not a vaccine! That's not a vaccine!"
As they pursued, they heard Anne say:
"The color is wrong! The injection I had before was not the same color as it! Although they were all blue, the injection I gave was much lighter..."
Ji Thrush really wanted to yell, why didn't you say it earlier, is it meaningful to come here now as an afterthought!
But he also knew that Anne could not be blamed.
Only with subtle color differences, it is impossible for non-professionals to be sure whether their judgment is accurate or not.
What's more, at that time Su Lin had already said that it was a vaccine, so Annie was naturally not sure if she had remembered correctly.
"Also, what's going on with your son!?"
Ji Thrush climbed up the elevator shaft, and when he looked up at Rose who was "leading the way" directly above, he felt that her figure was completely different from the slender, curvy female figure he saw a minute ago.
She—or, it should be "it"—its size has swelled several times, and its huge body almost squeezes the elevator shaft of a large elevator that can accommodate twelve people to the brim.
With this terrifyingly huge figure alone, it is impossible for Rose to be human again!
"Your son, why can you order the monster above!?"
Ji Thrush felt that his words were euphemistic enough.
In fact, he even wanted to say, if this was put in an RPG game, it would be the ultimate boss!
"I don't know! I don't know! I really don't know!!"
Annie opened her mouth and came up with three consecutive denials, her voice sounded flustered, not like a fake.
"I just feel that seeing Su Lin this time, he is different from before..."
She has lost her position, and her sentences are very confusing.
"I just want to treat him... But he was not like this before... Although he often quarreled with me, but... But he will not be so indifferent to me... He... He is not like this..."
-now it's right!
Ji Thrush thought:
—Because he is no longer your son!
At this moment, the rose-turned monster seemed to have arrived at the place it wanted to go, and was tearing open another door with its claws.
Its size has almost blocked the elevator shaft. At this time, it is more than a hundred times more difficult to get out than to get in.
So Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, and Annie heard an extremely ear-piercing sound of "creak, creak".
Large and small black tile-like stones, mixed with cement and sand, fell on their heads, crackling and hitting them, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
As a last resort, they could only stick their bodies against the wall of the elevator shaft and hug their heads to protect their vitals.
Three minutes later, the huge monster that Rose turned into finally squeezed through the exit and got out.
When Ji Thrush and the others chased after it, they found that the so-called "exit" had been tossed by a monster into a large hole with a diameter of at least four meters.
In front of the "exit" is an extremely spacious hall with a ceiling as high as five floors, which looks like a large gymnasium.
"Area A1 of the laboratory."
Ren Jianmo, the only one who still remembered the floor plan of the institute at this time, said.
It's just that Ji Thrush has no time to care about where he is now.
He just opened his eyes wide and stared at the monster made of roses in the middle of the hall with dumbfounded eyes.
The monster stood up slowly.
Every minute it moves, large and small black stones will fall from its body, revealing the miserable white skeleton under the dry flesh.
When it stood upright, Ji Thrush was already speechless.
It was twelve or three meters high. From Ji Thrush's perspective, the top of the monster's huge skull was almost touching the high ceiling.
Everyone saw that the monster seemed to be holding a little boy in its huge bone claws—that was Annie's adopted son, Su Lin!
It slowly raised its hand, as if holding a delicate and fragile object, and sent the child to its head.
In the middle of its two black eye sockets, there is a rhombus-shaped hole on the bone plate, exposing the slightly wriggling gray-white brain below it.
Su Lin stretched out his hand, grabbed the monster's skull, and then his whole body, like a flexible fish, got into the monster's head from the diamond-shaped gap!
Afterwards, the skeleton raised its head high, opened its mouth, and roared silently.
And outside where Ji Thrush and the others couldn't see, the transparent film covering the entire mountain forest seemed to be alive, and suddenly began to vibrate violently, rippling out waves of light like huge ripples.
