Gong Yangling suspected that Feng Lan and Yang Kangwei not only saw Ni Wei standing in front of the dead man, but also saw something else, but they did not say anything because of some scruples.
But maybe because they knew a secret they shouldn't know, they died after arriving at the safe base, and they died in such a miserable way!
"So you now suspect that both Feng Lan and her boyfriend Yang Kangwei died at the hands of Ni Wei?" Xiao Mo asked.
Gong Yangling nodded, looking sad and angry, "Ni Wei is interested in Feng Lan. He chased me before, but I rejected him, so he turned to pursue Feng Lan, but Feng Lan liked Yang Kangwei. Ni Wei may have twice After being rejected, after Feng and Yang got together, he blessed them on the surface, but in fact he hated them to death. But Yang Kangwei and Ni Wei were growing up, and together with Li Yong, the three of them have been the Three Musketeers since middle school. Yang Kang Wei didn't believe Feng Lan's words. He believed that Ni Wei was his brother and would never hate him, let alone harm him. As a girlfriend, Feng Lan couldn't say too much. If she said too much, others would think that she was inciting brotherly feelings among the three. .
But since we were rescued to the base, Yang Kangwei suddenly took the initiative to distance himself from Ni Wei. Feng Lan once wanted to say something to me, but she seemed to have some scruples and swallowed the words several times. It happened that during that time, I discovered that something had changed in me. I didn't want to have contact with others, and I didn't pay much attention to her. Feng Lan came to see me that day, but because of my face... I refused. As a result, that night I heard that Yang Kangwei died of a heart attack, Feng Lan was seriously injured and Li Yong was imprisoned. "
When Gongyang Ling said this, he obviously regretted it very much.
Xiao Mo felt deeply in his heart, and he also had something that he particularly regretted. He always thought that if he could have done that that day, then things would have had another outcome.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and life can never be perfect.
"Then why did you run down there? You said before that you thought someone was coming to kill you. Is this person Ni Wei?"
"Yes. This is the third thing I want to tell you. After I found out that Feng Lan was imprisoned, I found someone to help her out, but someone secretly stopped me. I begged my father to worship my grandma before I met Feng Lan. . But even when I met her, there were people watching her. Feng Lan only told me that Yang Kangwei had no heart disease before, and he definitely did not die of heart disease. When Yang Kangwei had a heart attack, he only had Li Yong was by his side, and she went to question Li Yong, but Li Yong laughed at her for her watery nature and said that Yang Kangwei knew that she was stealing people and was angry to death.
After hearing this, Feng Lan was so angry that she stabbed Li Yong with the self-defense dagger Yang Kangwei gave her. But Feng Lan told me again that Li Yong seemed to want to deliberately provoke her, and he didn't dodge much after she took out the dagger, as if he stabbed her deliberately.
I could tell that Feng Lan wanted to tell me something else at that time, but someone was watching her, and she seemed to have some scruples. I couldn't figure it out at the time, but later I realized that she was afraid that if she told me everything, I would be harmed. But Feng Lan didn't expect that even if she didn't say anything to me, I still wouldn't escape. What's worse is that the night I met Feng Lan, she, she was… "
Gong Yangling covered his face and calmed down for a while.
"I always felt that there were doubts about the deaths of Feng Lan and Yang Kangwei, and I also wanted to find the murderer of Feng Lan, so I secretly went to find Li Yong, and I heard Li Yong talking to Ni Wei... At that time, my hearing was already gone Very good. I heard Li Yong begging Ni Wei in a very flattering and eager tone, begging him to give him another pill. I don't know what pill it was, and Li Yong didn't say it, but Ni Wei should have given it to him. Because after Ni Wei left, I went to take a peek at Li Yong, and I felt that he didn’t look seriously injured at all.”
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong looked at each other and each had their own guesses.
"If things were normal up to this point, what happened next was completely beyond my imagination."
Gong Yangling's throat was parched as he spoke. He took out a mineral water bottle from the corner and took a drink of water. He held the bottle and said with a trembling voice: "I want to know the secret of that pill. I first thought it was a drug or something. I was suspicious. Ni Wei used drugs to control Li Yong for his use, but I followed him for two days and found that he, he... "
Xue Lihong suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Gong Yangling hard on the forehead.
Gongyang Ling was shocked, but after the pain passed, he showed a grateful look to Xue Lihong, "That's terrible. Li Yong has also mutated. Long needles like giant-winged blood mosquito beasts will stick out from his mouth. He As long as the long needle is pierced into someone's body, it can absorb the other person's blood, but the person who is pierced by it will not notice anything, and some people even look dazed and seem to feel very comfortable."
"Were you caught following him?"
"Yes." Gong Yangling smiled bitterly, "But I didn't know it at that time. I was sleeping in the room at night... Because of the materials donated by my father, I could live in a room by myself. I heard the sound of the door opening. , and then I saw Li Yong coming in. I couldn't master my abilities at that time, and I was almost sucked dry by Li Yong. Just when I was about to die, Hei Ya... That's it, Hei Ya suddenly came from Tong. It came out of the blowhole and scratched Li Yong, so I could take the opportunity to escape."
Hei Ya lay beside Gong Yang Ling, looking at Xiao Mo with a pair of black eyes, and then at Xue Lihong, showing a human-like expression of deep fear towards Xue Lihong.
Gong Yangling stroked Hei Ya's back, "I originally wanted to tell Major General Zhang Hua and the others about this, but Li Yong blocked me on the spot when I went to get food the next day and warned me that if I dared to If I tell others about it, then my father’s friends and everyone I know will be killed. Then Li Yong said, my appearance will make everyone believe that I am the evil one, as long as I say that I have been killed The mutant rat virus is infected, and I will turn into a rat-man in the future, and everyone in the base will arrest me. Then I found that I was surrounded."
"I have no choice but to threaten Li Yong in turn, saying that if he dares to take action, I will dare to call in the mutant rat and let everyone die together. When things have developed to this point, my body's mutation has become more and more severe, and my tail I couldn't take them back with Mao Ban, so I could only follow Hei Ya and escape into the sewers and live here. But I still wanted to tell Major General Zhang Hua about the strangeness of Ni Wei and Li Yong, but I found... "
"Someone is hunting you."
"Yes, this is what I want to warn you. There is more than one person who has mutated like Li Yong. I suspect that the mutations of these people are related to the pills Ni Wei gave Li Yong."
The three things have finally been made clear at this point. To sum it up: Ni Wei has a problem, and there is still a big problem!
Xiao Mo asked the system in his mind: "Is that pill related to the breeder?"
The system unexpectedly answered him this time: "If the recycler wants to locate the breeder, he can find it through the guardian beast."
"You mean people like Li Yong who mutate through pills are called guardian beasts?"
The system is silent.
"Wait! Why are they called guardian beasts? Are they no longer human?"
Xiao Mo was eager to tell Xue Lihong this important information he got from the system, so he accelerated his conversation with Gong Yangling.
"After verifying what you said, we will tell Major General Zhang Hua. There are also some other things I want to ask you."
"Ask you and I will tell you whatever I can answer."
"Thank you. Why don't we see other mutant rats here?"
"They live at the other end of the sewer. Black Fang... won't let them come."
"Did you know how many mutant rats came in?"
"So far I have only seen about a dozen. I don't know what level they are, but they are not small in size."
"How long have they been here? Are there more later?"
"About four days." Gongyang Ling paused, and then said, "Heiya told me that not many mutant rats survived after the explosion outside. Some dug tunnels and ran away, and some ran deep underground. They are A group of people running deep underground. So far they are the only ones here, but once they are sure that there is really a lot of food here and it is safe, they will summon other surviving mutant rats."
"Four days... apart from Li Yong's concealment, no one else discovered the mutated rat until today. Did you do something?" Xue Lihong asked.
Gong Yangling shook his head and nodded, "Heiya is different from other mutant rats. It was probably a pet rat raised by humans before. It is very happy to get close to humans. I can communicate with it, but not with other mutant rats. Those mutant rats Rats are very timid and very wary. I communicated with Hei Ya to stop eating people, and asked him to help me stop other mutant rats. Hei Ya said that it has never eaten people, but it can't stop other mutant rats because it can't stop other mutant rats. He’s not the Rat King, so he’s not strong enough. But with the help of Black Fang, he can barely hold back those mutant rats, but today it’s the limit. Those mutant rats have been hungry for a long time, and they eat all their own kind.”
"If we go to hunt other mutant rats, will Black Fang attack us?"
Gongyang Ling was a little embarrassed and said, "It should be fine if you don't let it see her." Her current position is indeed embarrassing. She is being hunted by humans, but protected by mutant rats.
Xue Lihong stood up and said, "Your transformation may not be the same among millions of people. Not everyone will mutate if they are bitten by a mutant rat. You should cherish your current ability and develop it well. If you use it well, maybe You will have thousands or even hundreds of millions of summoned beasts, which will be a very terrifying force."
Gong Yangling's eyes lit up.
Xue Lihong added: "If you can control them and prevent them from eating humans, considering that rats are originally omnivores, it is not impossible for humans and mutant rats to coexist. It all depends on your own efforts."
Gong Yangling clenched her fists and stood up. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her life became brighter. Yes, why is she forced to live in the sewers, why does she have to hide her head and face like a street rat to avoid the crowd, when she can obviously stand upright in front of people!
Although it is unacceptable that her future summoned beast is a mouse, if you think about it on the bright side, besides cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies, what kind of life is as abundant as mice in this world? And as tenacious as a mouse
If she hone her abilities well, maybe she can use the mutant rats to form a single force and no longer have to fear anyone. Of course, this is still a bit far away from thinking about it now. Her main purpose at the moment is to protect herself.
Gong Yangling chose to stay in the sewer. Xue Lihong asked her if she knew where the mutated rats came in. Gong Yangling said that she knew. She had gone there with Hei Ya and thought about escaping from the base.
Under the leadership of Gong Yangling, the two found the route that had been bitten by the mutated rat without much detour.
They also looked at the hole where the mutated rats came in. Rats can pass through, but it is very difficult for humans to crawl through it. And according to what Hei Ya told Gong Yangling, this cave probably only leads to City H, and even if people can climb out, it will be difficult. Useless.
"Oops! Not only mutant rats can come in through this hole, but poisonous gas can also come in, right?" Xiao Mo changed his color at the thought.
Xue Lihong has already started to test the air quality and said: "Mutated rats are not stupid either. They are also afraid of those poisonous gases. I think when they dig holes, they should backfill them to prevent poisonous gases from coming in."
The test results also showed that Xuelihong's guess was correct. Although the air quality was not very good, the harmful substances in it did not threaten human life.
Xue Lihong said that the two of them would stay here for a while. Gongyang Ling guessed that the two of them might have something else to do, and did not say that they had to stay to help, so they left with Hei Ya in a sensible manner.
The black tooth was also interesting. Before leaving, he actually circled Xiao Mo twice and sniffed with his pointed nose, as if he was memorizing Xiao Mo's scent.
Xiao Mo didn't know what his psychology was, so he touched Hei Ya's head.
Black Tooth bared his teeth at Xue Lihong one last time, and then followed Gong Yangling away.
Xiao Mo was worried that Xue Lihong would go crazy, and when he turned around, he would find his little friend playing with bugs
"Can you try to repair this hole?" Xue Lihong squatted on the ground without raising her head.
Xiao Mo also had this intention. He kicked Xue Lihong to make him step aside, grabbed an energy crystal and stood directly in front of the hole.
Placing his palms on the concrete above the hole, Xiao Mo probed out the mental waves with the idea of blocking the entire passage.
As his mental waves surge forward, the three-dimensional map of the passage dug by the mutant rat is also showing backwards and forwards, starting from the concrete wall.
It stretched for about twenty meters, and Xiao Mo began to feel a headache. He knew that the scope of repair he could only go so far.
The basic principle of repair is to move the missing same molecules from other places. Repairing the dug channels this time is not as detailed as repairing the human body. It only needs to backfill a large amount of soil, and it does not need to be the same soil composition as before. .
When it comes to repairing the concrete area, it takes a little longer and more energy, but because the raw materials are still there—the concrete blocks dug through by the mutant rats are piled on the ground and in caves, and have not been eaten or decomposed, Xiao Mo only needs to take these raw materials Just glue them back together.
It sounds simple, but if you look at it in slow motion, it's exaggerated. It's like the concrete blocks on the ground and in the cave are being pulled by something invisible, automatically covering the hole and automatically joining together. The broken pieces were still like spider webs, but in less than two minutes, the cracks were smoothed away by a pair of invisible hands, and they all disappeared.
Xiao Mo let go of his hand and Xue Lihong stood up. The concrete wall that originally had a hole in it now showed no trace of damage and was as new as if it had just been poured.
After absorbing an energy crystal on the spot, Xiao Mo went to repair the communication line that was bitten and scratched by the mutant rat.
When everything was finished, it was already an hour later. Cheng Zai was notified through the walkie-talkie. Cheng Zai was extremely excited. Xue Lihong thought he was noisy and cut off the communication.
Xiao Mo was almost paralyzed from exhaustion. Even with energy crystals to replenish his energy, he still felt tired from his bones.
The passage was too narrow, and Xue Lihong couldn't hug or carry him. She could only drag him out of the pipe, and then carry him on her back when he was out of the pipe.
"You need the correct cultivation method. What the system gives you is probably just a general one."
"I think your majesty may not know it either. Didn't you say that my ability is very rare?" Xiao Mo lay on the young man's back and could clearly feel the bones on the young man's body. He thought that this man was still too thin. , no wonder he loves eating meat so much.
"You can sort out all the training methods it gives you and give me all the training methods, and then tell me how you feel when using your abilities, any feelings you have, and I will see if I can help you come up with a better training method."
"Thank you." Xiao Mo couldn't help but said: "Xiaohong, why are you so capable?"
"If I can't do it, how can I do it/you?"
"... Can our conversation not be so colorful?"
“Other people who want to hear it can’t hear it.”
Hello! What's there to be proud of? brother!
"You are not allowed to refuse me tonight." For a thousand-year-old virgin who has just started eating meat, it is too inhumane for him to hold it in for half a month as soon as he tastes it.
If his restraint was not much stronger than that of ordinary people, Xiao Mo would have been unable to get out of bed by him. Well, this is assuming that Xiao Mo has the ability to repair.
Xiao Mo is so worried! He really doesn't want to come here a second time.
"By the way, those mutant rats haven't been solved yet, we should..."
"Don't worry, tell Major General Zhang Hua the location and he will send someone to solve it."
"But we are not taking action..."
Xue Lihong interrupted him again, "The principle of "promoting rice and benevolence against rice and enmity" applies everywhere. Our current capabilities are useful to Major General Zhang Hua, and they will beg us. But once we take the initiative to take over everything, we must Within a few times, they will think that everything we do is natural. If one day you are unwilling to work for nothing because of something, they will not feel guilty that you have done too much, but will think that you can be arrogant and arrogant. If you have the ability but don't care about it, they will think that your ability and talent are given to you by God to help all mankind. In short, if you cannot contribute to all mankind, then you have a bad character. Problem, everyone can attack you."
"...Have you ever encountered something like this before?"
"I've seen it."
Xue Lihong stopped talking, and Xiao Mo stopped asking to kill the mutant rats. He thought that Xue Lihong had reminded Major General Zhang Hua to release missions and give rewards to everyone to provide information about mutant rats. Maybe he was wary of this at that time
When Xiao Mo returned to the communication room, he was greeted by a burst of cheers, and everyone stood up and applauded him. No one thought that the communication line could really be repaired. Maybe the damage to the line was not serious
However, regardless of whether it was serious or not, the two of them dared to risk being dragged away by the mutated rats to enter the pipeline and repair the lines. This was something that all the technical staff present thought they could not do.
Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang wanted to award more than ten or twenty medals to Xiao Mo and the others on the spot. Seeing Xiao Mo lying on Xue Lihong's back, he kept saying: "What's going on? Did you encounter a mutation?" Are you tired? Or are you tired? Come on, come here and lie down for a while, who is that, Cheng Zai! Go get some sugar water!"
Xiao Mo patted Xue Lihong, wanting to come down.
Xue Lihong grabbed his legs and wouldn't let go.
Xiao Mo's face turned red. In fact, he was feeling better. At least his legs would no longer feel weak when walking on the ground. However, Xue Lihong insisted on carrying him all the way and didn't put him down even here.
Many people looked at them on the road, and Xiao Mo was embarrassed to look up.
Cheng Zai, who came back early, also jumped over and asked worriedly.
Xiao Mo had no choice but to follow what he and Xue Lihong had discussed on the way: "We encountered a mutant rat and fought for a long time. I was a little exhausted."
Upon hearing that Xiao Mo and the others had indeed encountered mutant rats, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang immediately asked them where they met, how many more they encountered, and what level the mutant rats were.
Xiao Mo answered one by one.
Hearing that only a dozen mutant rats were seen, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang seemed to be slightly relieved, and immediately sent someone to ask for Major General Zhang Hua. The threat of mutant rats must be eliminated as quickly as possible!
"There is one more thing. Let's talk about it with Major General Zhang Hua." Xiao Mo finally got off Xue Lihong's back, but was quickly pushed into the most comfortable leather chair in the communication room by Xue Lihong.
Major General Zhang Hua rushed over after receiving the news. Without saying a word, the dashing man had all the rewards he had promised delivered to him.
"There are a total of five thousand alloy particles here, which is not much. It can only be used as a token of appreciation. Compared with the contribution you have made, this is nothing. We have few people here. More than two thousand people produce one every seven days on average. particles, not everyone can secrete this kind of alloy particles. Including those collected before, these are almost half of our inventory. In addition, we only have this kind of bulk here. I heard that some large bases can already secrete the alloy particles. The energy is extracted and compressed, and one hundred pieces are used as a unit, which is easier to carry and absorb, but unfortunately we don't have that kind of device here."
"Thank you. If possible, I hope you can replenish us with some iron nails and send them to our room together with the alloy particles?" Xue Lihong did not take it immediately. Five thousand alloy particles packed together are a large sack.
"Of course! How many nails do you need? Let me look for them. We don't need this kind of supplies right now. If you need them, you can take as many as you can."
After the reward was settled, Xiao Mo raised his hand to indicate that he had other important things to talk about.
Major General Zhang Hua saw that Xiao Mo was unwilling to speak here, so he understood and immediately led a few people into the small conference room.
