The Scavengers

Chapter 17: Diary of a suicidal student

Views:

"This is the diary of Liu Yu, the middle school student who committed suicide." The child inserted the USB disk into the computer interface and said.

"I've been fine for the past two days. I checked out the video of Liu Yu's visit to your store that day. I always felt that there was some relationship between this sudden epidemic and Liu Yu. I originally just wanted to take a closer look to see if he had any symptoms. It was a sign of illness, but it turned out that I discovered this USB disk, which contained some very interesting things, which may be helpful to your current situation."

Xiao Mo calmed down and asked, "What's written in it?"

"You'll know it when you see it."

Xiao Mo subconsciously looked at the time displayed on the lower right side of the computer screen. It was 15:42, two and a half hours before the mission deadline.

Where is the target of the task? Just as this idea came to Xiao Mo's mind, the map appeared again. This time the red mark on the map was fixed at a certain place and did not move.

Should I read the diary first or complete the task first? Xiao Mo struggled for two seconds.

Just as the USB disk program was started, a login window for the diary system appeared on the computer screen.

"Do you know the login name and password?" Xiao Mo looked at the child as if he were opening his own diary and logged in very smoothly.

The child shrugged, "A password of this level can be easily solved with a decoding program."

There was a lot of content in the diary, and the child quickly flipped through a few pages by dragging the mouse, "You don't need to read the first part, most of them are innocent moans/moans of children with secondary disease. The focus is on the last few articles, starting from May 14th." .”

Xiao Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and took the mouse, opened these diaries one by one, and began to quickly

May 14, sunny.

I saw a dead man today! I even met him!

Damn spring outing! I hate spring outings! I hate that old woman who is the head teacher! I hate everyone! Why don't they die? !

That dead man is so terrible!

Not only did the damn old woman not comfort me, she even scolded me for running around! Old woman, menopause!

It was the first time I got so close to a foreigner, and it was a dead foreigner...

I'm so scared, I can see that scary face as soon as I close my eyes!

May 17, sunny.

sky! I was given a training system!

How interesting? Just like the protagonists of those science fiction novels!

Will I become a very powerful and majestic man in the future? Well, for sure!

I will keep this secret and not tell anyone. I wonder what the reward will be for completing the task? Can I get super powers

May 24, rain.

The first task actually asked me to recover a bird.

That bird was so difficult to catch that I didn't finish until the time limit.

Oh, the punishment for not completing the task is so painful! (Repeat more than ten lines)

It actually has punishment!

The system is not cute at all, I hate it! ! !

… Will it really erase me

Was that foreigner also obliterated by it because he failed in his mission

… I’m scared and I want to tell my dad about this…

June 1st, cloudy.

The second task of the first level came, and it was more troublesome than I thought. I was still in class, but I had to recover sixty-four insect eggs.

Fortunately, the map is easy to use and the eggs are relatively conspicuous. Otherwise, when would I find them

I received a reward. There are three options for the reward: increase physical strength by 3%, increase memory by 3%, and modify appearance by 3%.

I chose to increase my memory because I have an exam and I hope I can memorize all those damn English words and formulas!

But the rewards are really awesome!

June 11, rain.

The system said that because one task was not completed, I had to complete another task before I could be promoted to level two.

In the third mission, the system asked me to recover a carbon-based synthetic metal virus carrier.

June 12, rain.

My parents also secretly followed me out of concern for me, but I didn't know and the system didn't remind me.

Fortunately, my parents came, and the carbon-based synthetic metal virus carrier turned out to be a wild dog. The most terrifying thing was that there were two other big wild dogs beside it that looked very ferocious.

When the time limit came, the two wild dogs were driven away. In order to save me, my parents were bitten by the wild dog that carried the carbon-based synthetic metal virus.

But with the help of my parents, I finally killed the wild dog with a stone!

But because the time limit was exceeded, the system still judged that my task was not completed and gave me a penalty... I hate it!

June 13, sunny.

If I fail the next mission, I will be wiped out!

It’s still a first-level mission, but this time the content of the mission is to recycle my parents!

(Multiple lines repeated below)

I asked the system what happened to my parents, but it only answered me that they were infected by the carbon-based synthetic metal virus and became contagious infected bodies, which must be recovered within the time limit!

June 14, sunny.

They are sick!

It was me who harmed them!

The system only allows us to recycle them, but does not help me save them! No matter how much I beg for it! I hate it!

Their condition is getting more and more dire. I want to send them to the hospital...

But how should I answer the doctor and the police

Will they arrest me

Will those researchers dissect me to find out the system

I am really scared! Who will help me

I was afraid that they would run out and harm others, so I tied them up, but they didn't struggle. I also blocked their mouths to prevent them from shouting.

I'm such a bastard, I'm not human!

Dad, Mom, I'm sorry...

June 15th, sunny.

I asked the system if the hospital could take good care of my parents.

It answered me that with the current medical capabilities of the earth, no one can help my parents.

I asked it what would happen to my parents if they were not recycled.

The system answered me that they would become new sources of the disease and transmit the virus to more people.

I asked him if the virus would have spread if I hadn't recovered the wild dog.

The system answered me and said it would, as long as the time limit is reached.

I asked it if my parents didn’t come to help me that day and I was the only one there and I was bitten by the wild dog, would I also be infected by the virus.

The system said, no. Because I was its training subject, it would cleanse me.

I asked if it could help purify my parents, and it said no, it could only help the implanted person.

I hate the system and I hate myself!

I harmed my parents, and I will harm more people in the future!

I'm not a hero, I'm just a donkey!

I decided that I was going to kill them, and then myself, to make it all end!

The diary ends here.

Xiao Mo checked the time, it was 16:00 sharp.

After reading the diary, it explained the cause and process of the emergence of the virus to a certain extent, but it also left him with more questions.

Who developed this system and for what purpose

How do they choose trainers? Completely random

And what do those tasks represent

Carbon-based synthetic metal viruses? What kind of virus is this? Who did it

Xue Lihong analyzed on the side: "Liu Yu was probably determined to die when he went to your store to buy a knife that day. He probably left this USB disk in the hope that someone would discover the secret one day. But maybe because of shame, he He didn’t want people to discover the secret so quickly, so he put the USB drive at the bottom of the shelf where it would not be easy for people to find it.”

Xiao Mo clicked on the desktop. He had a very important question, "System, was that child wiped out by you because he failed to complete the task?"

The system quickly replied: "No, the last trainer's mental endurance was too poor. He had already chosen to self-destruct before the task time limit was reached."

"That's because you told him to recycle his parents! Does recycling mean to kill the target?" Xiao Mo was very angry.

The system said coldly: "He is a scavenger and must complete the task."

Xiao Mo thumped the table hard.

The child patted Xiao Mo on the back, "We have solved the mystery of Liu Yu's suicide. Now can you tell us about your situation? What did the system tell you? Did it also assign you a task?"

Xiao Mo picked up the watch on the table and put it on. He calmed down his anger and turned to the child, "Can I trust you? Little one."

"At least I won't hurt you." The child said seriously.

Xiao Mo said calmly: "I don't know much. The system refused to tell me anything and only asked me to complete the task. And my first task has been judged to have failed by him. If the second task cannot be completed, I will arrive at I will be obliterated by it within the time limit.”

The child's eyes darkened, "Will you be wiped out if you fail two missions in a row? What is the content of the second mission? When is the time limit?"

"The mission content is to recover Li Xiaoshuang, the mother of the gluttonous beast. The time limit is before 18:15 China Standard Time today."

The child looked at the time and immediately said: "Where is the mother of the gluttonous beast? Let's solve it first, and then solve the problem of the system later."

"Whether to deal with her or not, I'll wait until I find her. The system calls her Li Xiaoshuang, and she is probably a human. It's hard for me to judge whether this system is good or bad. I can't just kill people just because it wants to kill me, right? Look at that For a student’s diary, recycling means killing it, right?”

Xue Lihong said nonchalantly: "No matter what, let's find the target first."

Xiao Mo glanced at the map and stood up, "The mission target is approaching here. She is probably going to Liangoule Supermarket."

"I will go with you."

Xiao Mo wanted to refuse.

"Don't worry, I will stay away when I see danger." The child did not say that he was also very interested in the mother of gluttonous beasts.

Xiao Mo thought for a moment, grabbed a self-defense steel pipe from the storage cabinet and put it into his shopping bag before going out.

Walking out of the stairwell, Xiao Mo saw the previous census takers ringing the doorbell under a building.

The other party noticed him, and Xiao Mo nodded to them.

Xue Lihong whispered to Xiao Mo: "Have you noticed? A famous armed policeman is holding a thermal energy tester. You can tell if there is anyone alive at home by looking at it."

"Can it be detected at the door?"

Xue Lihong nodded.

"Then why did the other armed policeman walk around our room?" Xiao Mo wondered.

"The two of them are holding different instruments."

"Oh? What on earth is the guy who's running around in our house testing?"

"I just took a look and it felt like a metal detector." Xue Lihong replied.

metal detector? Isn't it enough to just check the metal content in the air? Xiao Mo thought of the enumerators' actions of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Maybe they were not just checking the food storage situation

Xiao Mo suddenly thought of the diary with an exaggerated title that he had seen before.

Alloy particles

Are they looking for this

Alloy particles... carbon-based synthetic metal viruses... something in between

etc! If it was a metal detector, why didn't the armed police find the various tools and small metal parts in Xue Lihong's bag when he passed by him

Xiao Mo suddenly wanted to take the small backpack that the child had been carrying and take a look at it.
