The Scavengers

Chapter 26: Hunting the mother of gluttons

Views:

When Fang Zhenggang heard the report from his subordinates, even though he had seen and heard many criminal cases, he couldn't help but change his expression.

"Is there anyone else joining?"

"Yes. Boss, are these people's brains..."

"It seems that the support staff should include a psychiatrist." Fang Zhenggang and Chen Bing looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Are we going to stop it?"

"Observe first. If necessary, you are allowed to use it."

"yes."

A silver plane flew over the quarantine area without attracting anyone's attention.

There is an airport 30 kilometers south of here, so planes often fly over this area at low altitudes. The residents nearby are used to seeing it.

"Ding! You still have fifty-five minutes." The system reminded Xiao Mo.

It doesn't have to remind them, just like the first mission, but that time it was to use punishment to give the new scavengers a deep understanding and to establish their own authority. If the second mission is still not reminded, and the scavenger mission fails and is wiped out, it violates the fundamental rules of the system, and it, which is the most abiding by the system rules, will never allow such errors and loopholes to occur.

Xiao Mo grasped the steering wheel tightly.

He didn't originally want to kill the mother of the gluttonous beast. That person had a name. Her name was Li Xiaoshuang, and she was a human being. Even if she caused chaos, it didn't mean he could kill the other person at will.

But now...

"Are these all due to the influence of the Mother of Gluttonous Beasts?" He confirmed again.

"Although the carbon-based synthetic metal virus makes them crave certain necessary alloy molecules, it does not make people lose their minds."

After hearing the system's answer, Xiao Mo was silent for two seconds and said, "I'm going to do the task."

The man's voice was normal, as calm as if he was saying "I'm going to buy braised vegetables" with his family.

But the child and Ding Qiao both looked at him.

Ding Qiao didn't understand what Xiao Mo was talking about, but the child felt that this man with a woman's kindness had finally made up his mind. The man in front of him had always been unhurried, even if he was threatened with being wiped out, he was not in a hurry. He probably just didn't want to Trade someone else's life for your own.

Surplus kindness. The child curled his lips and gave this person a nameplate that said he would not survive long in troubled times.

"Xiao Hong, sit down and don't look forward."

Xiao Mo reversed the car. He felt that the scene in front of him was not suitable for children to watch, and there were too many hungry ghosts gathering in front of Lianguole Supermarket. This place was now an explosives depot. Once it exploded, no one could escape.

Xue Lihong lay on the back of the chair and didn't move.

"Brother Xiao, are we not going to call the police?" Ding Qiao asked worriedly.

"If you don't look for it, it will be useless if you look for it. They definitely can't tell the difference." Xiao Mo wanted to forcefully cross the road and turn right to go to his shop. After sending the child into the shop, he went to the park opposite to find Li Xiaoshuang.

Ding Qiao didn't know what he was planning and was still asking: "What should we do?"

Xiao Mo walked forward slowly while staring ahead and said: "The government will definitely send support. I remember there is an air force training camp nearby. Maybe some people will be transferred from there first."

"Impossible." Ding Qiao immediately rejected Xiao Mo's idea, "It is not easy to train the air force. Generally, they will not be used in land rescue operations. In this case, only conscripts from the army will be sent. I remember that the nearest army base here is It's a hundred miles away, so it should be quick to get here."

"You go do the task, Ding Qiao and I are waiting for you in the car." The child suddenly said.

"Uh, yes, Brother Xiao, if you have anything to do, go ahead and take care of yourself. I'm here to help you look after the car and the children. Don't worry, no one will touch them." Ding Qiao also promised.

Xiao Mo stopped the car and turned off the engine. The road was now heavily congested and he really had no way to drive to his destination.

The child leaned close to Xiao Mo's ear and whispered to him: "Let me see how much energy the electric shock rod still has."

Xiao Mo took out the electric prod and gave it to him.

The child checked it, adjusted the power valve to the maximum, and returned it to Xiao Mo, telling him: "There is not much energy in it. It is only enough for you to release it twice. Don't use it indiscriminately."

Xiao Mo nodded and put away the electric prod.

Ding Qiao saw the big one and the small one whispering and was too embarrassed to come over to listen.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Mo appeared alone in the park.

"Can you provide the distance to the mission target?" Xiao Mo tentatively asked the system in his mind.

"Okay. You are still thirty-three meters away from the target."

Xiao Mo Mao walked along the shade of the tree without rushing over recklessly.

"Twenty-five meters, nineteen meters..."

"Meow!" A shrill meow suddenly reached my ears.

In a clump of wild grass not far from Xiao Mo, five or six wild cats were fighting around his target.

When Xiao Mo heard the cat meowing, it was the time when the wild cats were fighting fiercely with Li Xiaoshuang.

The wild cat pounced fiercely, and Li Xiaoshuang was not weak either. She even refused to take a step back even after being scratched with several bloody marks on her face.

"Nia--! nia--!" Harsh screams like a child's night cry sounded one after another.

Xiao Mo was focused on preventing his target from discovering him, but he accidentally tripped on a tree root sticking out of the ground by the roadside.

In order to stabilize his body, Xiao Mo subconsciously grabbed a small brown tree next to him that was as tall as his body.

Unexpectedly, the little tree was wrapped with circles of vines. The vines seemed inconspicuous, but there were sharp barbs at the protruding joints.

As soon as he grabbed it, a bloody wound immediately appeared on the palm of his hand.

Xiao Mo gasped in pain, but in order to stabilize his body, he used a lot of force to hold him up, causing the wound to be extremely deep.

Are there such vines in this park that can hurt people? Just plant it on the roadside? The man is confused.

As soon as the smell of blood emerged, Xiao Mo immediately pressed his hand on the wound, but it was still too late.

Li Xiaoshuang seemed to smell the smell and raised her head to look this way.

Xiao Mo was nervous, fearing that she would run away again. He immediately took out the electric shock bat and rushed out, regardless of the fact that the wound was still bleeding.

He is not afraid of fighting. How could he be afraid of fighting when he has two brothers? But he was afraid of killing, no, not afraid, but unwilling. But now the situation forced him to take action. To put it mildly, it was for the sake of justice, but he knew that the most fundamental reason was that he didn't want to die, and he died so badly. Pointless.

When Li Xiaoshuang saw him, she made a threatening cry. Her appearance and expression did not look like a human being.

Seeing that Li Xiaoshuang was relaxed, the wild cats launched more violent attacks on her, seeming to want to force her away.

There was a trace of hesitation on Li Xiaoshuang's face, but she soon made up her mind and did not run away again, but chose to kill Xiao Mo. There was something important to her here, and she couldn't just leave it.

But she probably knew how powerful the electric prod in Xiao Mo's hand was, so instead of attacking from the front, she jumped on Xiao Mo's back and then bit his neck.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo is not the kind of man who sits in the office every day and is not diligent, and his reaction is not slow. He rolled like a donkey to avoid Li Xiaoshuang's first attack, and when he turned around and climbed up, Turning on the electric shock prod, he raised his hand and stabbed Li Xiaoshuang in the abdomen, who rushed at her again.

Li Xiaoshuang couldn't dodge and was shocked. She immediately let out a piercing scream, grabbed a wild cat that bit her and threw it at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo waved his hand to open the wild cat, but felt pain in his wrist. Li Xiaoshuang rushed over and bit his right hand.

The electric prod fell to the ground.

Xiao Mo pinched his injured left hand and punched Li Xiaoshuang's temple.

Li Xiaoshuang jumped away.

Xiao Mo quickly bent over to pick up the electric prod. Li Xiaoshuang took the opportunity to pounce on his back, opened her mouth and bit his neck.

Xiao Mo panicked when his neck was bitten. He couldn't deny that he had despised Li Xiaoshuang from the beginning. Even though he knew that she was the mother of gluttonous beasts, he always felt that she was just a woman and did not do her best to fight with her from the beginning. He went there, even with the idea of capturing him alive.

This time the neck was bitten. Out of survival instinct, Xiao Mo showed no mercy and hit Li Xiaoshuang in the face with his elbow.

Li Xiaoshuang was hit hard on the face, screamed, and rolled off Xiao Mo's back.

Xiao Mo also covered his neck and screamed. A piece of flesh was bitten off from his neck by Li Xiaoshuang, and blood gurgled from his fingertips.

Xiao Mo endured the pain, covered his neck with one hand, and grabbed the electric prod again with the other hand. As soon as he turned over, he saw Li Xiaoshuang rushing towards him from mid-air like a wild dog.

There was one last chance for an electric shock, and he couldn't waste it.

At the critical moment, Xiao Mo did not move and hid the electric prod to his side. It was not until Li Xiaoshuang jumped on him, suppressed him, lowered his head and bit his neck again that he suddenly raised his hand and stabbed Li Xiaoshuang with the electric prod. Waist side.

"Tsk--!" A strong electric current struck Li Xiaoshuang from her waist to her whole body.

Xiao Mo, who was pinned down by Li Xiaoshuang, did not escape the electric shock.

There was a strong convulsion, and Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, thinking that he was about to be electrocuted to death.

"Ding, the mission target was recovered successfully. The scavenger Xiao Mo will receive a reward. The content of the reward..." The cold and rigid voice paused, "The system is re-evaluating the scavenger based on his physical condition. Please wait."

At the same time as the sound of the system sounded, Xiao Mo felt something cold flowing through his body along the blood. He shuddered immediately and pushed away the body that was pressing on him... Huh? What about the body

Is this recycling? He succeeded? Not sure if it was the sequelae of the electric shock, Xiao Mo felt confused.

It took him a while to realize, he, he just killed someone? It's great that he saved his life after completing his mission, but he also really became a murderer!

In fact, he still has no sense of reality. He was in a coma for three days. For him, a lot of things happened in just two days. The existence and voice of the system made him think that he had severe hallucinations after being infected. Listen and fantasize.

Asking you to recycle something and then erasing your system if you can't complete the task, does this sound a lot like what some murderers say they heard a voice telling them to do after killing their entire family

No matter how real the system felt to Xiao Mo, as an adult who had received orthodox education for many years, had mature views, and was very healthy physically and mentally, he would not immediately go on a mission, even if it would threaten his own life. He is not a middle-school boy who has been poisoned by novels and movies. He is always ready to be an extraordinary person.

If he hadn't come into contact with Li Xiaoshuang and discovered that there was indeed something wrong with him, coupled with his own abnormal hunger, and the chaos really appeared in front of him, I'm afraid he would rather call the police than take action himself.

In the past few days, he has been shouting in his mind to calm down and not think too much, and just solve the difficulties that are happening in front of him one by one. Especially after he sees other people who are nervous, crazy or panic, he is even more unwilling to do it himself. Become one of them.

Nowadays, many people are shouting that the end of the world is coming, but the police and government officials are obviously still maintaining order. He called his family in the afternoon and everything in the city was fine. Under such circumstances, how could he believe that the end of the world was really coming

"Where is she? Where did you take her? Is she dead?" Xiao Mo asked three questions in a row. He has now discovered that he can directly ask questions to the system in his mind.

"The mission target has died, and the body carrying the pathogen is garbage and must be recycled and converted into useful energy."

… already dead! I really killed someone! To simply make someone disappear...

He didn't really want to kill Li Xiaoshuang. The situation just now was too chaotic. Before taking action, he was still holding on to luck. Maybe recycling didn't mean killing, but the facts told him that the meaning of recycling was so cruel!

Xiao Mo's hands began to tremble, "What is useful energy?"

"It's not related to the task, so I can't answer it."

Extremely tired both physically and mentally, Xiao Mo lay on the ground and didn't want to move. Although he didn't see the body, it was a fact that he killed a person, a woman.

No matter what the reason, he killed someone. The only thing that made him feel better was that the woman no longer seemed to be a fully human being.

He wanted to comfort himself with the excuse that he was doing it for the sake of justice, but he felt disgusted with himself for having such thoughts.

Ordinary people who have never killed anyone can never understand what he is feeling now.

Some people will vomit after killing someone, and some people will cry after killing someone. Xiao Mo found that he neither wanted to vomit nor cry, so he just wanted to have a good meal and then have a long sleep. This made him He began to worry about whether he was born with a hidden killer attribute or something. Of course, maybe he just didn't see the bloody corpse. Without the most direct impact scene, the psychological stimulation was not that severe.

"Meow!" A shrill meow came from my ears, which was extremely annoying.

The wild cat probably didn't like him and wanted to drive him away.

Xiao Mo, who has not been very popular with cats and dogs since he was a child, smiled bitterly and sighed longly at the sky. It is said that cats and dogs are the most sensitive among animals, so why on earth would he, who is hated by cats and dogs, be hated and... feared by these little cuties
