Inside the door, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly shrank.
Xue Lihong gently pushed Xiao Mo away and motioned for him to hide inside. And he himself was attached to the wall. Even if the door was opened, others would not see him immediately.
Xiao Mo followed Xue Lihong's arrangement and hid in the shadow of those large machines.
This man obviously has more combat experience than him, so following his arrangements is the most correct choice. At this time, it’s not the hero who doesn’t know anything but wants to seize the initiative first, but the pig teammates.
outside the door.
"Brooke, there is no need. According to the news we received, the first batch of epidemic patients are the only ones who have not produced alloy particles in their bodies. You see, the medical records of the inpatient department are here, and the people living in this building are People whose bodies produce alloy particles.”
"Impossible. In such a big city with a population of more than 10 million, how can it be possible for these two people to undergo deep mutations?"
"There may be other deep mutants, but we haven't discovered them yet. Although we have ordered them to conduct a detailed investigation, last night... If you are not in a hurry, we can wait until things stabilize a little this time before doing it again. Detailed investigation, but you are too hasty, just like last time you were so eager to get the couple named Liu. If my father hadn't been involved, let alone sending both of them, you wouldn't have even thought of getting one."
"Bao, we have always been very grateful to your father for his support and understanding of us. We also think about all human beings in the world. At that time, this magical epidemic occurred in more than one city and not only in China. I heard that country A, Country U has already started investigating, and they are already one step ahead of us. I don’t think China wants to be slower than other countries, right? Especially when a world-wide coma broke out last night.”
"My father has asked other cities where the disease occurred to send the deep mutants discovered to the capital. Even if the number of people does not exceed twenty, it is enough for us to conduct preliminary research."
"Okay, but I still hope that the more cases we study, the better. If we can discover the secrets hidden in the bodies of deep mutants first, not only can we leave behind all the researchers around the world, maybe we can also become The father of life for a new generation!”
"Naturally, as soon as the situation stabilizes, I guarantee that those deep mutants will be continuously sent to the capital. By then, we can do whatever we want to study."
"But your country..."
"Don't worry, my father will explain to the above. They are just some diseased mutants. Judging from the deep mutant we have discovered, his ability is likely to bring unrest to our country and even the world. When all When people’s abilities are about the same, no one wants these deep mutants that affect the balance to appear, unless we can allow everyone to have the mysterious abilities of such deep mutants!”
If Xiao Mo could see through at this time, he would see Bao Yuezhi holding his right hand tightly with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Bao, I admire you very much. You have an unconventional, free and great scientific heart. Only people like you can achieve truly great scientific research. I can even imagine that in ten years you will definitely become a The youngest bioengineering scientist in the world stands on the podium of the World Human Achievements Award. No, maybe it won’t take ten years... "
The voices faded away.
Xiao Mo, holding the wrench, walked out of the shadows and looked at Xue Lihong with a pale face.
Xue Lihong listened quietly by the door for a while, then opened the door a crack. When he was sure that the danger outside was gone, he turned back to greet Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo had walked to him quietly, "Should I say that there will never be a shortage of ambitious people in the world, and human beings who don't treat other people as human beings?"
The young man replied: "This is inevitable. Any change will cause conflicts. If most of the people in power are also deeply mutated, then this change will be the evolution of all mankind and should be publicized positively. But if those in power are abandoned , due to fear of losing status, power, or because of jealousy and other emotions, deep mutants have become socially unstable elements and need to be eradicated."
Xiao Mo also understood this, and just because he understood it, he had a headache, "What should I do? I'm not interested in being a hero, and I don't want to be one of the few special people. I admit that this ability is very attractive, but if you use freedom In exchange for the price, I would rather return to my original life and my original self."
Xue Lihong smiled, "After the second outbreak of the carbon-based synthetic metal virus and the magical black rain, how many deep mutants do you think will appear in the world?"
"Is Black Rain different from a virus? Its emergence is the creation of superpowers?" Xiao Mo's eyes lit up.
"I'm not sure it's all the effect of Black Rain. The main purpose of the carbon-based synthetic metal virus should be to make the human body produce that kind of alloy particles. However, there are also a very few individuals whose genes can produce special abilities under strong stimulation, but that's only a very small amount. Individually. And black rain... its ingredients contain a large number of factors that can improve physical fitness and develop physical potential. People who were exposed to black rain that day will not only improve their physical fitness, but also have a high possibility of being stimulated to develop supernatural powers. . Its effect is equivalent to the super nutrient solution I injected into you."
"That's it." Xiao Mo understood.
Xue Lihong pointedly said again: "If a game is one-sided at the beginning, what else is there to do?"
Xiao Mo was horrified. What you are saying is that the earth has become a playground for some people? And they have become forced players in the game
In the lobby on the 19th floor, there were several people lying scattered about, some dressed as doctors and some as nurses.
Xiao Mo didn't know who was Director Qian or Director Cai. He just randomly found a man who was closest to him and stretched out his hand to test his breath.
Xue Lihong also quickly walked past those people.
"They are all alive. They used tranquilizer bombs."
"Come on, we've been here long enough."
When Xiao Mo saw that everyone was still alive, he didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that someone would come up and misunderstand him later, and it would be difficult for them to escape.
Naturally, Xue Lihong's original plan to use the body scanner in the hospital was temporarily shelved.
After coming out of the hospital, Xiao Mo also wanted to go home and rest, but there were still sixteen bugs waiting for him, and he couldn't guarantee that he could complete the task within the time limit the next day.
"We have recovered all the targets within the second ring road, and the remaining targets are all in the third ring road and beyond. Motor vehicles can be used on the third ring road. We went back to the hotel to pick up the motorcycle and walked along this road to my home. You can recycle another one, then go home to pick up the car and tools, and then come out. What do you think?"
Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong and said: "Actually, it's best for us to act separately, so that we can go faster."
Xue Lihong looked at his face and said, "Can you hold it alone?"
"No problem." You have to hold on even if you can't hold on.
"Are you hungry?"
"It's not that I'm hungry, I think I need energy crystals." Xiao Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead again. Even in the hot summer, it was hot and stuffy even at night. In addition to needing energy crystals, he also wanted to take a bath.
Xue Lihong said: "When those bugs are killed, don't take them out of the glass bottle yet. Let me see if there is anything similar to energy crystals on those things."
"Tell him not to worry about that," the cold voice of the system sounded in Xiao Mo's mind, "Even if he cuts open the entire gold-eating female insect, he will not find the energy crystals. Instead, the energy in the target's body will be lost 3 % to 5%.”
Xiao Mo told Xue Lihong the system's original words.
Xue Lihong pondered for a moment, "It mentioned energy loss. It seems that it should have a way to extract energy from those corpses. This is probably why it requires the target corpse to be intact. Ask it if it can condense what you need. Energy crystal.”
Xiao Mo saw that the system did not answer directly, so he had to ask again: "Ask you, can you?"
"...Yes." The system delayed for five seconds before giving the answer.
Xiao Mo said to Xue Lihong: "It says it can."
"Let it help you condense a first-level energy crystal first. This should be within the scope of what it can do."
"Non-task related..."
"Shut up, Your Majesty the System." Xiao Mo rubbed his forehead feebly, "I need energy crystals to complete the task better and faster, or do you just want to obliterate me and change to a scavenger?"
The system responded with a longer delay this time, "... You can choose to exchange."
"How to exchange?" Xiao Mo was shocked.
"In addition to the mission objectives, you can also recycle some other garbage, such as the giant-winged blood mosquito beast you encountered last night, or the bastard next to you."
Xiao Mo laughed and said to Xue Lihong: "I don't think the system likes you very much. It even wants me to recycle you." He also called you trash.
Xue Lihong sneered, "It's just afraid of me, because it knows that as long as I find it, I can..."
Whatever it takes, Xue Lihong didn't say any more.
The system didn't even refute and just stayed silent.
The two returned to the hotel. Xiao Mo told his family that he had to go back to stay for something, and told them to buy more food that could be stored. He pushed the motorcycle that was running low on gas and came out.
"Let's go, there should be almost enough oil in here for us to get home."
Xue Lihong was originally worried that it would be dangerous for Xiao Mo to do tasks at night when he was tired because of the existence of the blood mosquito beast.
But now, Xiao Mo needs that thing to exchange energy crystals with the system, and Xue Lihong no longer stops him from doing tasks at night, and it is still unclear whether the thing can be touched. And because they had to hunt down the Blood Mosquito Beast, they couldn't do the task separately for the time being.
Having a motorcycle means speed. After successfully recovering the target on the road, the two of them approached Zhougang Station at 8:30.
"Wait! Listen."
Xiao Mo squeezed the brakes and said, "What's wrong?" He was wearing a helmet and couldn't hear clearly.
Xue Lihong opened his helmet visor from behind.
"Bang bang bang!" A series of explosions came from the distance, like someone lighting firecrackers in an iron bucket.
"Gunshot?!" Xiao Mo took off his helmet.
This time it wasn't just gunshots, he also heard people screaming.
"Ahhh!" People's screams could be heard far away in the night sky in the empty suburbs.
"There is a blood mosquito beast ahead." Xue Lihong seemed to have seen something.
Xiao Mo was stunned, did he really meet him? Is it a coincidence? Or are there so many of them that you can encounter them wherever you go
