The Scavengers

Chapter 68: After 10 o'clock on January 26th

Views:

Xue Lihong slipped out of the main power control room. He only cut off the main power supply and emergency lighting, leaving the backup power supply untouched.

There were two reasons for not using the backup power supply. One was that he didn't have time to look for it, and the other was that he considered that the experimental subjects in the laboratory on the fifth floor could not be spread over a large area and wanted to limit them to the fifth floor.

Generally, when the main power supply is cut off, the backup power supply will start immediately. But he needed darkness, so he fiddled with the main power supply to delay the backup power supply for five minutes before responding.

In these five minutes, he could not only find a way to let Xiao Mo enter the laboratory at the end, but also avoid letting the experimental subjects escape too much due to the long power outage.

I hope the door leading to the fourth floor is strong enough to block the experimental subjects running out.

Bao Yuezhi came out of the laboratory at the end under the protection of several mercenaries, his face distorted with anger, "Who did it? Who did it? How dare he! There can be no power outage here! Why hasn't the backup power been activated yet? Hurry up. !Take me away! Take me up quickly!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" A familiar explosion sounded, and the floor was completely in chaos.

This time, Bao Yuezhi was not prepared in advance. He was unable to reach out and was worried that things in the laboratory would escape. He kept urging the mercenaries to take him away quickly.

Screams sounded, someone was killing the mercenaries.

"No chaos! Evacuate as planned!" Linghu tried to reorganize the team.

But darkness brings the greatest convenience to those who attack. This time I am truly blind!

"Bang bang bang!" Gunshots burst out.

Linghu shouted angrily: "Don't shoot! Be careful of accidental injuries! Shoot down everyone with lighting!"

Soon, the chaotic crowd lit up all kinds of lights, and the lights of mobile phones, flashlights, and fluorescent sticks were intertwined. However, these lights not only did not have much lighting effect, but made the scene more chaotic and difficult to capture.

Xiao Mo quietly slipped out of the cart. He looked in the direction of a dead mercenary and touched it.

The place was chaotic and no one noticed him. When the light shines on him, he will lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead. Others will not look at him again when they see that he is covered in blood.

He touched a pistol, but felt that it was not enough, so he grabbed a short rifle.

Thanks to the guidance of Torre Soldier, now he not only knows how to shoot and aim, he also has a general understanding of ordinary guns, and he also knows which type of gun uses which type of bullet.

However, Xiaohong was very unhappy about this, saying that he could also teach him how to use the gun, so there was no need for Lei Bing to be troublesome. Afterwards, he went to find Lei Bing and had a fight because Lei Bing always secretly poached him while he was away.

Thinking of Xue Lihong's occasional childish behavior, Xiao Mo felt a little better.

"Linghu! Save me!" Bao Yuezhi found that he was being targeted. The person who was attacking in secret was specifically hunting and killing those who protected him.

Linghu originally wanted to go to the power distribution room, but had to change his route temporarily, "Master Bao, don't move, I'll be right over!"

"Thunder! Boom!" The bright lightning almost blinded everyone's eyes, and a thunderbolt hit a place not far from Bao Yuezhi.

There was a sudden silence in the corridor.

Xiao Mo's eyes widened, Linghu was actually a superpower, an extremely rare and powerful thunder superpower!

If it's broken, can Xiaohong beat him

Xiao Mo was about to go to support Xue Lihong when something passed by him and held his hand.

The familiar smell and touch made Xiao Mo feel at ease immediately, and he followed the hand quietly.

"Why is there so much blood on you?"

"It's okay, most of them belong to others." Xiao Mo didn't want to talk about his experience in Laboratory No. 6.

Xue Lihong pinched him. He only dared to let him go because he saw Xiao Mo's ability to repair, "How did you escape?"

"Play dead."

The corner of Xue Lihong's mouth just curled up a little when she suddenly thought of a problem. To pretend to be dead, there must be a fatal injury, and if you want the enemy not to suspect, you have to keep the wound. Xiao Mo had already fainted at that time. He must not have been able to control his abilities at that time. So in order to prevent the enemy from suspecting, did he commit suicide after recovering

And gunshot wounds have always ranked high among several types of injury pain index. After Xiao Mo self-mutilated, he endured it until now to repair it and escape

Xue Lihong felt uncomfortable, and she even hated Bao Yuezhi, who had caused him a big loss, and all the mercenaries who shot at his boss.

"Xiao Hong?" Xiao Mo felt a murderous aura coming from his side that made his skin crawl.

"Bao Yuezhi is not easy to catch. The four bodyguards around him are all superhumans, as well as that Linghu." Xue Lihong hid her emotions, "Listen, we only have less than four minutes. Although I The power on the fifth floor was cut off, but the backup power supply was not touched, and the backup power supply would come on in four minutes.”

"What about the fourth floor and above?"

"There is still electricity above the fourth floor, and the doors above are all closed. Even if those things escape from the fifth floor, it will not be easy for them to escape from this building." Probably.

Xiao Mo was relieved.

Xue Lihong emphasized: "We don't have much time. Let me see if we can catch Bao Yuezhi and lure those mercenaries away. You can try to open the door."

"Leave it to me, you have to be careful yourself." Xiao Mo killed three people, not to mention the various effects on his psychology. At least he now has some confidence in his destructive power.

The two men staggered and gunshots rang out. Xue Lihong held the gun with both hands, one shot at a time. Although his main purpose was to distract the mercenaries, now he wanted to kill Bao Yuezhi even more.

*

Cheng Zai cut off the power supply in the backup power room, connected the surveillance signal, quickly installed the fence and climbed into the thick pipe, grabbed the rope and climbed up carefully and quickly.

He is a communications soldier, and he is familiar with all the communication channels in this underground shelter. Others think that the only way to enter the mysterious fifth underground floor is through the ventilation pipes, apart from the normal passages. No one would think that there are other ways. Walk.

However, in order to prevent people from intruding into the ventilation duct, a lot of tricks have been done inside. If someone really dares to climb into the ventilation duct, he will definitely suffer a big loss and will be easily discovered.

But the communication pipeline is different. Although it is filled with various thick communication lines, it still has enough space for a person of normal stature to pass through.

It's just that the only communication pipe that can be accessed is a straight tube from top to bottom, which is divided into three forked pipes on the first floor: one end is connected to the front; one end extends far away to connect with external lines; and the other end is connected to this. It is connected to the five-story main building.

But this was enough for Cheng Zai, and he had all the communication layout lines in the main building, so he could easily figure out where the main power supply room and the backup power supply room were.

He originally planned to cut off the main power supply after cutting off the backup power supply, but he found something good in the backup power supply room—the wiring ducts of the laboratory monitor he had been looking for were hidden in this room. Waiting for him to connect the lines, When I tried to rush to the main power supply room, I found that someone had already taken care of the main power supply.

It must be Brother Xue, he guessed.

I hope he can help Brother Xiao and Brother Xue, oh yeah!

On the fifth underground floor.

The mercenaries protected Bao Yuezhi so well that Xue Lihong could hardly see him.

"Bang!" Bao Yuezhi, who was surrounded by mercenaries, was shot again in the shoulder. The wounds were added to the wounds, and he couldn't help shouting in pain, "Grab that bastard! Kill him! No, I want to live, I To get him...!"

"Leave this floor first!" Linghu interrupted Bao Yuezhi's scolding and led everyone back to the safe passage.

"Bang!" Bao Yuezhi covered his ears and screamed. His ears were knocked off!

His personal bodyguard immediately pushed him down, trying to repeat the same trick and take him away through the floor.

Xue Lihong had been waiting for a long time. He had guessed that the bodyguard would do this. After firing a few shots, he lay on the ground. Whoever lay on the ground at this time was Bao Yuezhi.

"Bang bang bang" three shots in a row.

Bao Yuezhi's screams could be heard in his ears. He didn't know if he had succeeded. Those four bodyguards protected Bao Yuezhi too closely.

One bodyguard lay motionless on the ground, his temple had been punched through.

Xue Lihong didn't stand up immediately when she saw Bao Yuezhi disappearing. This narrow-minded villain actually aimed at the mercenary's ankle and shot him.

The mercenaries were miserable. They fell down one by one, screaming, and it was difficult for those who fell to get up again.

Xue Lihong originally had some leeway to attack these mercenaries. As long as there was no real threat to him and Xiao Mo, he would generally not kill them. But now as long as he thinks about Xiao Mo being shot and killed mercilessly by these people again and again, he doesn't want to give these people more opportunities to hurt them. What's more, as long as Bao Yuezhi does not die and this underground base is not destroyed, these people will be ordered to attack and hunt them again and again.

Seeing his men fall one by one, Linghu immediately released thunder and lightning again, but he couldn't find where the target was, and finally released it empty-handed.

"Squeak!" Without current control, the laboratory door opened wide, and various experimental animals began to escape.

"Ouch!" Someone was scratched by an experimental animal.

"The experimental subject has escaped! Escape!" At this time, no one cared about catching the sneak attacker, let alone Xiao Mo who had slipped to the end.

Xue Lihong fired the last shot, causing Linghu to stumble and cover his waist.

Xue Lihong originally wanted to kill this person, but seeing that this person had helped him and Xiao Mo once, she spared him this time.

"Evacuate! Everyone evacuate the fifth floor immediately!" Linghu insisted on walking at the end with two of his men carrying stretchers.

Seeing that the mercenaries were only focused on retreating, Xue Lihong immediately turned back to Xiao Mo. These monsters that came out were the most terrifying. They didn't distinguish between friend and foe at all.

But it’s a bit strange. Four minutes have passed and the backup power supply should have been activated. Why is there no response yet

Is the backup power supply broken, or is someone secretly helping them

Xue Lihong suddenly laughed sarcastically, hoping that Bao Yuezhi would quickly have someone repair the power supply, otherwise the experimental subjects here would probably run out. Previously, he had asked Ma Xiang to be prepared to guard all crossings where several experimental subjects might appear. As soon as the experimental subjects came out, they would be shot. But if the people in this building are not prepared in advance, they will have fun.

The door lock of the end laboratory is very complicated, requiring not only fingerprint verification, but also pupil scanning.

But Xiao Mo didn't care about this at all and directly destroyed the door lock program.

The method of destruction is very simple. He deleted all verification procedures.

Without these program controls, the door opens as soon as it is pushed.

"Idiot, watch it!" Xue Lihong suddenly appeared, hugged Xiao Mo and rolled to the side.

A black shadow came out with a stink, but before it ran far, a tentacle suddenly stretched out from inside and rolled it back.

The black shadow let out a death scream.

"The mission target is ahead." The system reminded Xiao Mo.

"Follow me, I can see." Xue Lihong pushed Xiao Mo behind her.

"Wait a moment." Xiao Mo closed the door with force, then turned around and walked into the house.

Xue Lihong held his hand again.

It is not completely dark inside, the computers are still working. These computers all store extremely important data, and all have separate backup power sources. The few minutes of power outage will not affect them at all.

But only the computer was still working, the LCD screen was all powered off, and the only light source in the room was the display light from the host computer. These lights don't have much illuminating effect unless the human eye is fully adapted to the dark.

The young man's eyes glowed faintly.

Something alive is in the room.

Xue Lihong saw the tail of that thing. It was thick and thick, covered with knots, and it was extremely ugly.

"Ahead, directly ahead, there are still ten meters." Xiao Mo said softly.

Xue Lihong raised her head and looked straight ahead, and was stunned for a second.

Xiao Mo couldn't see that there was a glass room in the center of this very large room, with a naked woman hanging in the room with her wings spread out.

The woman couldn't tell her age, her head was lowered, her long hair was hanging down, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

But whether it is dead or alive, even if the face cannot be seen clearly, it still gives people a very beautiful feeling.

Just as Xue Lihong flashed, something shot at Xiao Mo's back, wrapped around him and pulled him back.

Xue Lihong turned around and fired, shooting several times in a row.

No screams, no roars.

"Xiao Mo!" Xue Lihong was furious, leaping up in the direction where Xiao Mo was swept away.

"Attack its head, heart, and... hell, is this the body or the legs?" Xiao Mo cursed angrily.

Xue Lihong pulled the corner of her mouth and shot the monster's head off with one shot... It didn't collapse, the bullet was stuck inside!

Xue Lihong threw away the gun and took out his saw blade.

This is a big thing. Its body is like eight hundred kilograms of fat piled together. It is full of meat layer by layer. It has two tentacles and no legs. It seems that it can't move. Its head is also sunk in the fat. You can't see it. Show the facial features.

Xiao Mo was also trying to destroy the inside of the monster that caught him, but the thing was too big and the fat layer was too thick, making it very difficult for him to destroy it.

Xiao Mo let out a low cry of pain. This thing wanted to eat him, and the liquid secreted from the tentacles was like powerful digestive fluid, and it melted part of his skin.

Xue Lihong jumped on top of the monster's head, inserted a knife into its zenith heart, and cut it open with force.

The monster opened its mouth wide, but it seemed to have no sound function.

"What is this?" Xiao Mo was so tired that he was sweating. He was almost exhausted from using his abilities continuously and needed to replenish energy. But before taking action, he handed over all the energy crystals to Xue Lihong, and this proved to be a wise move in his later experience. But maybe he should keep a spare on him for the future

"Human." Xue Lihong pulled out the saw blade and cut into the tentacle that rolled over.

"What?!"

Just then there was a hissing sound of electricity, and after the headlights flashed several times, the lighting was restored in the laboratory.

Xue Lihong raised an eyebrow. If the backup power supply was also destroyed, the repair speed would be much faster than he thought.

Xue Lihong didn't know that Linghu, who was shot by him, was working as a repairman in the main power supply room. His special ability is to control thunder and lightning, and only he can repair such damaged power equipment without fear of being electrocuted. There was an electrician next to him who was sweating and telling him what to do.

Let's go back to the laboratory.

As soon as Xue Lihong saw that the lighting was restored, he immediately took out his gun and knocked out the full-angle monitors located in the corners and center of the wall. This was what he wanted to do when he came in, but unfortunately the big fat monster attacked them and he didn't have time to do it.

"Old Xiao, their emergency repair speed is faster than I thought. We have to speed up. If the call comes, Bao Yuezhi will definitely send someone down immediately to check. The experimental subjects who escaped outside can probably resist them for a while, but If they have superpowers, it won’t take more than ten minutes.”

Xiao Mo closed his eyes, and at the same time, the tentacle holding him loosened and fell off.

Xiao Mo landed on the ground, panting from exhaustion. He waited until his eyes had fully adapted to the light before opening them. This time he could finally see the monster in full view, which almost made him stop breathing.

It was a mountain of meat, or a mountain of meat covered with black spots and protrusions.

"You said this is a human being? Bao Yuezhi's experimental subject? That one!"

"That's why Qiu Feng called him a jackal. Jackals are not as vicious and perverted as him." Xue Lihong pulled out the knife and was about to swing it again when she saw the monster's other tentacle was also weakly placed on the ground. , the stomach was rumbling, and something seemed to flow out of its stomach.

Xue Lihong jumped off the monster and used a saw blade to lift the person's buttocks to see.

A foul smell came and Xiao Mo covered his nose.

Xue Lihong took a look and said: "There is an excretion port below, and the loot that was pulled out went directly down. This mountain of meat has probably lost the ability to walk, and can only sit here, eating, drinking, and urinating in the same place. Most of its brains It has been removed and has no self-awareness. Bao Yuezhi is probably using it as a trash can, and maybe it has some security functions, such as catching flies, mosquitoes and escaped experimental subjects."

"How do you know?" Xiao Mo asked casually.

"Because I've seen similar things." Xue Lihong's face looked a little ugly. It's not that he underestimated Bao Yuezhi. With his IQ, he probably couldn't create such an experimental subject. Maybe he could toss out some monsters at will, but it was not easy to keep the monsters alive and obedient.

Xiao Mo wanted to ask him where he saw it, but looking at the man's expression, he couldn't ask.

Xue Lihong stabbed the monster twice more with a saw blade, "It's dead, what did you do?"

"Destruction. I'm exhausted!"

"Scavengers, please note, the mission target is at eleven o'clock, only twelve meters away."

"Attention scavengers! Mission..." The system began to find its presence in Xiao Mo's mind.

"Your Majesty, that's enough, don't repeat it!" Xiao Mo looked in the direction of his mission target. At this sight, he was stunned.

Xue Lihong walked behind him and patted him, "Don't look at her. That thing is pretty, but she should be your mission target."

Xiao Mo confirmed with the system, and sure enough, the woman with wings was his mission target.

"She's still alive?"

"I don't know." Xue Lihong frowned when she saw the monitor in the glass room. There was another one here. Now Xiao Mo's resurrection from the dead could no longer be concealed.

But thinking that after the mission was completed, Bao Yuezhi and the others would know that Xiao Mo was still alive sooner or later, so it didn't matter.

Xue Lihong walked to the observation platform in front of the glass room and looked at the computer data on it. The LCD screen has returned to work and it is easy to browse the data.

"She's still alive." Xue Lihong confirmed.

"Can you open this glass room?" Xiao Mo was exhausted and had no energy to destroy the super-strengthened glass that could block bullets.

"Let me take a look." Xue Lihong said without raising her head, "Are you tired? Let the system recycle that garbage monster and replace it with energy crystals for you."

Because of the angle of the monitor in the glass room, the fat monster could not be seen.

Xiao Mo thought it made sense and immediately turned around to collect the garbage monster.

The system reminded him: "You gave him a lot of energy crystals."

Xiao Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop provoking it, he needs it more than I do. Your Majesty, quickly recycle this garbage monster. Do you think how many energy crystals can be exchanged for it?"

"The brain, heart, and major organs have been destroyed, and too much energy has been lost. It can only be exchanged for five standard first-level energy crystals."

Regarding this non-negotiable system, Xiao Mo has only one word to answer: "Change."

The garbage monster disappeared, and a deep hole more than half a meter wide appeared on the ground. There was a stench inside the hole.

Xiao Mo stepped back and quickly ran back to Xue Lihong.

He still gave Xue Lihong to keep all the five first-level crystals he had just exchanged. Xue Lihong gave him a secondary energy crystal for him to absorb, and stuffed another one for him to keep as a spare.

Xiao Mo did not dare to waste time and immediately sat down and closed his eyes to absorb.

"Hey -" The electronic speaker installed somewhere made a sharp noise, and then a familiar voice spread throughout the laboratory: "I know you are in there, now give it to you..."

"Bang!" Xue Lihong hit the hidden loudspeaker with one shot, and then shot several times to kill all the communication equipment in the entire laboratory.

Seeing that everything was okay, Xiao Mo closed his eyes again.

Xue Lihong found the switch in the glass room, pressed it, walked into the glass room, killed the monitor first, exited, found the syringe, blood bag, and a low-temperature collection box—these things are all in this laboratory, and entered the glass room again house.

Linghu looked at the screen that turned into snowflakes and tapped his finger on the microphone to reply to Bao Yuezhi.

Bao Yuezhi was asking the doctor to remove bullets and suture his wounds. Except for the shot that knocked off half of his ear, the bullets from the other three shots were all stuck in the flesh or bones. The knife on the shoulder was also very heavy and almost cut him. His bones.

The doctor suggested giving him general anesthesia, but Bao Yuezhi refused and only gave local anesthesia to the injured area.

Anyone can see how angry Bao Yuezhi is now. While roaring in pain, he hurled all kinds of unsavory insults at Xue Lihong's female elders.

Linghu knocked on the door and reported directly: "They destroyed all the monitors and communication devices."

Everyone in this ward is Bao Yuezhi's confidant, and there is no need to specifically let anyone leave.

Bao Yuezhi's face trembled with anger, "That bastard! How dare he! How is the situation down there now? Have you got it under control?"

"Some small ones have escaped into the ventilation ducts and sewers, and the large ones are being captured. It is recommended to put anesthetic spray on the entire fifth floor. There is another thing," Linghu paused. For some reason, he didn't want to say this. Maybe it's because he saved that person once? But thinking that Bao Yuezhi would still know later, he still said:

"The dead Xiao Mo is still alive. He is in Laboratory No. 13 with the young man named Xue Lihong."

Bao Yuezhi didn't pay attention at first, but when he thought about it, he suddenly raised his head and said, "What did you say? Wait, is Xiao Mo the older one? I saw with my own eyes that a bullet penetrated the back of his head and his body was also shot. Got shot a lot.”

"it's him."

Bao Yuezhi was so excited that he wanted to stand up, but his anesthetized legs did not support him.

The doctor and the bodyguard quickly supported him together.

Bao Yuezhi felt itchy, "Self-healing ability! This legendary ability really exists! Hahaha! I must get this person, Linghu, help me catch him, he must be alive... No, beat him to death Don’t be afraid, it should be difficult for him to die. Increase the anesthetic dose on the fifth floor and ignore those experimental subjects. As long as I can get that Xiao Mo, everything will be compensated!"

Linghu thought of the three men who died in Laboratory No. 6, and felt that if Xiao Mo really had the ability to heal himself, he should still have some self-protection and even lethality. However, this was just his guess, and he didn't know what his mentality was. I didn't really want to tell Bao Yuezhi about this.

"Linghu? What are you still doing here? Go and arrest him!" Bao Yuezhi couldn't wait. He had already thought about it. After catching Xiao Mo, the first thing he would do was to draw his blood and inject it into his body to see if Can get the other party's self-healing effect. His blood is type AB, and he can accept any blood type as long as it is not too rare.

The expression of Linghu, who was also injured, did not change, and he still spoke at the same speed: "There is one more thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

"The target of those two people is probably the experimental subject Chang'e."

"Hmph, I guessed it. Those two people said they were going forward, so I knew their target was probably Chang'e." Bao Yuezhi lowered his face, "What do you think is the possibility that Qiu Feng and the others know about Chang'e?"

Linghu said matter-of-factly: "I don't know, but since he sent two people to investigate, and even paid such a high price to give them a chance to enter the fifth floor, it is impossible to say that he doesn't know at all."

"How did the news about Chang'e get out?" Bao Yuezhi's expression changed and became more gloomy, and he looked at Linghu with a little suspicion, "Only a few people know about this matter."

"I'll investigate."

"As soon as possible! Catch Xiao Mo first."
