In the minute that Xiao Mo allowed himself to be a little weak.
A black thread hung down from the back of the observation platform where the researcher was lying. The black thread seemed to have a will of its own and seemed to be controlled by someone. The thread trembled and then split into two.
Two black wires were accurately placed on the shelves on the back of the observation platform, and quickly extended to the left and right sides.
The three platforms are placed side by side, which makes it easier for him to perform his duties.
Xiao Mo just made up his mind and took steps.
"Ah--!" Kang Lu suddenly let out a scream and opened his eyes suddenly.
A black wire was inserted into her ear.
She pulled out the black thread with her backhand and pulled hard.
The researcher who secretly caused harm probably didn't expect to kill Kang Lu, and he didn't have time to learn to discard the hairs extending from his body, so he screamed in pain.
"You bastard! Go to hell!" Kang Lu found the murderer and without hesitation focused all his petrification abilities on his right hand and smashed the researcher's head with all his strength.
The researcher also sat up, and he manipulated the black thread to attack Kang Lu again.
But this was Kang Lu's last counterattack before she died. She didn't care about the black line piercing her eyes and only focused on hitting the researcher with her right fist.
puff! The researcher's black wire penetrated Kang Lu's eyes, and Kang Lu's fist also smashed the researcher's head to pieces!
It's a long story, but it only took three or four seconds from the time Kang Lu stood up to the time the researcher's head was smashed.
"No!" When Xiao Mo realized something was wrong, he wanted to rush out to stop it.
But Xue Lihong, who was beside him, had faster hands, pulled him into her arms, and moved away from the three stages as fast as possible.
"Save Lin Xiaofei!"
"It's too late! Look at his ears!"
As the researcher died, Xiao Mo saw a black thread pulled out of Lin Xiaofei's ear and placed on the edge of the table. A few drops of blood came out of the top of the black thread.
Linghu saw the accident and rushed out, but it was too late.
No one would blame Xue Lihong for saving Xiao Mo immediately instead of stopping researcher and Kang Lu. Whose first reaction when encountering danger is not to protect themselves and their own people? And no one knows what those two people will be crazy enough to do.
No one knows yet why Kang Lu and the researcher turned on each other.
The soldiers, who had long received instructions from their superiors, saw that the two carriers of the Living Dead virus were prone to attack and pulled the trigger without even hesitating.
"Puff, puff, puff!" A burst of shooting.
Now it's better, there may be a chance of saving the person, but now there is no possibility of saving it at all. Xiao Mo's repair ability can only repair the body, but it cannot capture the soul and stuff it back into the body.
Xue Lihong put her arms around her boss and looked at the dead man on the stage who had been beaten to a bloody pulp by the charge. There was nothing strange about his expression.
No one noticed that when he was talking to Xiao Mo, he was standing so precisely not far from the head of the researcher and Kang Lu. Xiao Mo thought that the young man's voice was very low, but was it really so low that only he could hear it
Why should his boss carry a heavy burden of guilt
Why should his boss make the choice
Xiao Mo shouldn't have to bear this pressure, let alone carry this burden for the rest of his life. Whoever has the wife feels sorry for him. If the person who rescued someone today is someone else, he will feel guilty to death. Although Xiao Mo still only admits that she is his boss and not his wife, there is no difference between the boss and his wife.
He could almost predict that when the matter was over, Xiao Mo, who saved people, would definitely be the one to be blamed. Why? Because he didn't save everyone.
At this time, no matter how Xiao Mo chose, in the end what others said was: he could have saved so-and-so, but he chose another person at that time and gave up others.
Xue Lihong has seen the descendants of someone who used this as a reason for revenge, and the one who made the choice was a real Holy Father. He himself felt guilty for the people he did not save in the first place. Waiting for someone After his descendants came to the door, he committed suicide just like that.
Xue Lihong has also seen something even more shameless. The rescued person felt that he had great expectations and felt too much pressure on himself. He even said to the person who saved him: "Why did you save me in the first place? It's better to let me die." Forget it!" Such extremely hurtful words.
Xue Lihong didn't want his boss to encounter similar things, and this kind of thing was not strange or rare. On the contrary, it happened very frequently.
But he had no way to explain it to Xiao Mo, and he knew that even if he did, Xiao Mo wouldn't listen to him. This is like parents who have experienced a lot. They will give various warnings to their children based on their own experience and judgment, hoping that they will avoid taking some detours. But how many children really listen completely
Since there is no use in giving your own treasure, of course, as a good employee who cares about your boss, you can only directly deal with the source of the trouble.
If those who heard him could not think otherwise, they would certainly have nothing to lose.
Is there any need to save people who listen but take action
And the behavior of those two people hardly exceeded his expectations. But the researcher took action immediately, and Kang Lu hesitated. Only Lin Xiaofei was truly unguarded and had no intention of hurting anyone, so Kang Lu was still able to fight back, but Lin Xiaofei could only lie down and wait for death.
Seeing that the researcher and Kang Lu were already dead, Xiao Mo could only cast his hopeful and guilty eyes on Lin Xiaofei next to him.
At this moment, Lin Xiaofei's body suddenly twitched slightly.
Xiao Mo's eyes widened and he shouted repeatedly: "Stop! Don't shoot again! Stop it!"
The man shouted as he struggled to break free from the young man's arm and rushed to Lin Xiaofei.
The gunfire stopped immediately.
The soldiers fired at close range with high accuracy. All the bullets were concentrated on the researcher and Kang Lu, and not a single one was hit anywhere else.
Lin Xiaofei is not completely dead, he still has a trace of vitality!
Xiao Mo was so happy that he hugged his head and quickly began to repair his body.
Xue Lihong raised her eyebrows. This little guy was lucky enough to survive a hole drilled into his brain.
Linghu walked to Xue Lihong and asked, "What's going on?"
"As you can see."
Linghu looked at the two corpses again. In fact, he had already guessed the reason why the two men attacked each other, but why was it so sudden? And if they die together in despair, shouldn't it be more appropriate to kill Xiao Mo who saved others
Xue Lihong asked the soldiers to exit the room and avoid getting the blood of the carrier.
After the soldiers exited, they checked each other to make sure that none of them had any blood stains on them.
A soldier used a walkie-talkie to report what happened here to his superiors.
While Xiao Mo was doing repairs for Lin Xiaofei wholeheartedly, Major General Zhang Hua hurriedly arrived with two guards. Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang was also coming, but Major General Zhang Hua forced him to stay in the name of just in case.
Major General Zhang Hua stood at the door but did not come in. The soldiers dragged him to prevent him from entering.
Xue Lihong walked over slowly and said calmly: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't touch the blood of the dead. This virus is not airborne yet."
Major General Zhang Hua smiled, he didn't care very much, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way, "What happened?"
Xue Lihong, "One of the virus carriers felt hopeless, probably thinking that he would not let others have a hard time if he was not happy, or he wanted to kill the other two secretly, so that Xiao Mo could concentrate on saving him alone, but unfortunately he His hands and feet were unclean, and he was discovered by another carrier. As a result, both of them died. The other one probably had special powers and was not completely dead. Xiao Mo is currently trying his best to save him. "
Major General Zhang Hua felt inexplicably relieved when he saw that it was a child who was rescued. Then he nodded to Linghu who was following him, "I've heard of you. You were originally an elite member of Unit 152, but you were later forced to retire because you were implicated by the Bao family and his son. What do you think, do you want to join our base? I can find a way to help. I can also find a way to get you back to military status and your family."
Linghu didn't refuse, "Thank you. Bao Yiyong and I still have half a year's employment contract." But he will not return to Bao Yiyong in this half year, and everything he owes him has been paid off.
"It's only half a year, I can still afford to wait." Major General Zhang Hua already regarded Linghu as a dish in his basket. He turned to look at his watch and reminded Xue Lihong: "It's already ten o'clock."
Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo, who had obviously forgotten the time, and said: "Leave this to me, I will handle it. You leave, don't leave anyone behind. I will take over the task, and when the task is completed, I think that mysterious The 07 organization will definitely come to check the results of the mission, but with so many people here, even if they have extraordinary means, they will probably find it a bit troublesome."
Major General Zhang Hua understood this, and after confirming again and again that it was okay for him and Xiao Mo to stay, he immediately waved and led the others away.
Linghu wanted to stay and help, but Xue Lihong looked at him with a pair of dead eyes.
Linghu: "..." He turned around and left with Major General Zhang Hua. Strange, why does he feel that this ruthless man is a bit repulsive to him
Xue Lihong waited until Linghu was gone and out of sight, then she snorted slightly. Four months of getting along with Xiao Mo was enough for him to discover that his nosy boss was an invisible uniform controller. Xiao Mo had a very good impression of Linghu when he helped pull him out in the hospital elevator that day. Good. I still remember it to this day!
At half past ten, Cheng Zai, who was staring at the mercenary mission list, jumped up and shouted: "Cancelled! The mission of the living dead virus has been completed! Oh yes!"
At the same moment, Major General Zhang Hua also happily ordered Ma Xiang: "Quick! Contact the capital, contact General Qiu, contact other bases, contact as many people as you can, and tell them that the living dead virus has disappeared from our base! I see Who the hell dares to remotely destroy us again!"
Xue Lihong contacted Cheng Zai at this time and asked him to tell others that he had sealed off all the observation rooms and was doing the final cleaning. In order to avoid the leakage of the virus, all of them were required to stay safe within 24 hours. Close to the fifth underground floor.
The clock on the wall has reached 10:45, and there is still an hour and a quarter before the real mission deadline.
Xiao Mo took Lin Xiaofei down from the observation platform and put it on the ground. He sat cross-legged on the side of the child's abdomen, placed the energy crystal between his eyebrows with one hand, and held another secondary energy crystal under Lin Xiaofei's navel with the other hand.
The child's eyelids trembled and his expression was painful.
"Be good, relax, don't resist me, I know it hurts, but we don't have much time, we have to make the final push. Don't worry, I will definitely let you survive! I will!"
But as soon as Xiao Mo's energy poured into the child's energy nest, Lin Xiaofei struggled desperately and shouted: "It hurts! It hurts! Mom! Mom, save me!"
Xiao Mo's face turned from pale to ashen.
Xue Lihong's eyes were cold and cold, why didn't that researcher try harder? In fact, keeping this child is the most troublesome. They are not as self-controlled as adults, and they are not as strong in survival as adults. If one of the three people really wants to be left behind, he would rather be Kang Lu.
pity!
Good luck kid.
Seeing that Xiao Mo looked like he was going all out to help the child reach the second level, Xue Lihong couldn't bear it anymore, walked over and knelt down next to the child's head, leaned over and coldly pressed against the child's ear and said: "Hold it! Idiot! Do as your Uncle Xiao says. If not, I will kill your father and your mother! Then sell you to a foreign country as a child laborer!"
Lin Xiaofei burst into tears.
Well, that doesn't seem to work for this kid.
Xue Lihong's brows furrowed into knots. It had reached this stage. At this time, he could no longer forcefully drag Xiao Mo away. He didn't want to create unnecessary barriers with his boss because of a brat.
Children are indeed the most troublesome creatures in the world, bar none!
"Your Uncle Xiao is about to be dragged to death. Open your eyes and look at your Uncle Xiao. He is very, very tired. If you can't do what he asks, then he will die, and you will be his murderer."
The child struggled to open his eyes in pain, and he saw Uncle Xiao, who was particularly gentle to him.
sky! What happened to Uncle Xiao? Why does he look so bad! Is he going to die? Was he a drag on Uncle Xiao? Was he the one who killed Uncle Xiao
No! Mom said that he is a little man, he should not be afraid of pain, and he should not be a drag on Uncle Xiao. He has to work hard!
"Sweetie, don't kill my parents, and don't sell me, I will obey you." The child begged with sobs.
Xue Lihong poked his forehead with a finger, "Then be good! Now, close your eyes, feel your energy nest, and listen carefully to what your Uncle Xiao is telling you."
The child endured the pain and closed his eyes. This time he was more focused.
Xiao Mo, who was trying to help the child attack the energy nest, suddenly felt that the child's energy no longer rejected him, but timidly cuddled up with his energy and rushed forward with him.
The process of hitting the energy nest again and again is very painful, and most children will never be able to endure it.
But Xiao Mo didn't want to give up. This was the last person he could save. At least two out of ten people would survive!
Thank God, Lin Xiaofei's superpower is a wood type superpower that focuses on vitality.
Because of this, he was able to leave a glimmer of hope after being attacked by researchers. Because of this, he stood up again and again with the help of Xiao Mo, seizing the little chance of survival.
11:51 minutes.
The last bit of fog disappeared, and a small, dark pond appeared in the child's energy nest.
The moment the small pond was formed, Xiao Mo's body fell back.
Xue Lihong, who was well prepared, caught his body and said, "There are still nine minutes left. You must recover all the remaining virus carriers!"
Xiao Mo finally tore open his eyelids, his face turned extremely pale, and his lips turned slightly blue, "Help...I get up...here."
Xue Lihong almost hugged him and stood up, first leading him to the researcher and Kang Lu who were already dead.
Xiao Mo touched the bodies of the two people with his hands and gave an order in his mind: recycle.
The two corpses disappeared, leaving not even a drop of their blood.
"There are still six virus carriers." The system reminded.
The recycling target of this mission does not specify a specific person, nor does it specify the quantity. It only requires recycling them all. Therefore, it does not matter whether life or death occurs in the process, as long as the last one is left according to the rules and let Xiao Mo solve it himself. If Xiao Mo has the ability to remove all the viruses from ten targets, the task will be considered completed, because all recovery also includes zero target and zero recovery.
Xiao Mo walked into the big room, thinking he would see six dead people, but found that they were all still alive.
At this moment, Xiao Mo wanted to slap himself twice. He was so ashamed! He actually hoped that Xue Lihong had killed these six people, so that he could just recover the bodies.
How could he think like this!
This is his mission! It's his sin! Why should I pass it on to Xiao Hong? Just because he knows Xiaohong is good to him
"I can kill them and let you recycle them. Do you need it?" Xue Lihong asked softly in his ear as if she knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Mo shook his head hard but vigorously. He even pushed Xue Lihong away and staggered to the bed.
If the system does not recycle*, he must kill the remaining mission targets with his own hands.
Xue Lihong could indeed kill five people in advance and seriously injure one, and then let Xiao Mo recover them, but he did not do so and just stood at the door watching him.
System: "There are still five minutes left in the mission time limit."
Xiao Mo pulled out the dagger Xue Lihong had given him for self-defense from his waist, and covered the eyes of an unconscious man with one hand - even if the other person had his eyes closed, the dagger was pointed at his temple.
"Chi."
The dagger was inserted into the unconscious man's brain quickly and almost without any hindrance.
One, two, three...
Before the last minute of the time limit, all living dead virus carriers were successfully recovered.
Xiao Mo held the dagger and stood numbly in the center of the room.
The dagger was clean, as clean as if it had never been used.
"Uncle Xiao?" A childish voice sounded at the door.
Xue Lihong turned sideways.
The child deliberately avoided Xue Lihong, ran in, and hugged Xiao Mo's waist.
Xiao Mo looked dazed and lowered his head very slowly.
The child looked up at him, his face full of fear, but his eyes full of dependence, "Uncle Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Mo's eyes moved. He raised the hand that was not holding the dagger, slowly and slowly placed it on the child's head, and rubbed it gently.
"Uncle Xiao... Wow--!" The child suddenly cried, "I'm so scared! I'm so scared! This uncle wants to sell me! He wants to kill my parents! Uncle Xiao beat him! Beat him! Wow! --!"
Xue Li's face was red and black. Damn it! He actually filed a black lawsuit!
The child's attack failed, and Xiao Mo fainted from his howling, and even missed the system reward.
His physical and mental strength were completely exhausted, and he slept for two days and two nights before waking up.
Not long after he woke up, Cheng Zai, who was the first to get the news, came to visit him. The first thing he said when he opened his mouth was: "Zombies have appeared!"
Xiao Mo's sleepy brain was so frightened that he suddenly woke up and sat up immediately, "What did you say? There are zombies in the base?"
"It's not our base." Cheng Zai dragged the sofa chair to the bed and sat down. "It's not our China, it's other countries."
Cheng Zai named several countries and cities.
Some Xiao Mo has heard of it, and some has not.
"It is said that they all appeared at the same time, that is, after noon on the 19th. Unfortunately, those countries did not have a mysterious organization like 07 that could know about it in advance and release the mission in advance. By the time those countries realized what had gone wrong, the virus had already There was a massive local outburst.”
"Has the infection spread?" Xiao Mo took the mineral water that Cheng Zai handed him, which was placed beside his bed, and he drank half of the bottle.
Strangely, he didn't feel too thirsty when he woke up this time, and his throat didn't feel sticky when he spoke. Even the coating on his tongue didn't have the thick sticky feeling he had when he woke up in the morning.
"Thanks to Organization 07 for releasing that mission. Although he only released one mission. But now the whole world knows that as long as a new virus or monster appears, it will also appear in other areas. It's just a difference. So those countries As soon as he discovered that the living dead appeared in his own territory, he quarantined the entire accident site when he reacted and asked for help from all over the world. Now two small towns have been completely blasted, and two other cities are larger due to their larger scope. It is said that the survivors who are not infected are still being evacuated.”
"There may be fish that slip through the net." Xiao Mo said it was not a question.
"That's for sure. But what to do? Even if there is a nuclear explosion, we can't be sure that nothing will escape the net. We can only be more vigilant and ban the population of those countries from escaping abroad. Let those countries be willing to do so. The price of self-imposed blockade is that other countries provide them with various materials for free to ensure that the people in those countries will not go crazy due to lack of food." Cheng Zai added: "Now half of the world's scientists are studying monsters and supernatural powers, and the other half are studying monsters and supernatural powers. We are studying the living dead virus and want to find a vaccine against this virus as soon as possible.”
Cheng Zai then told Xiao Mo some of the things that happened in the base in the past two days. They were not big events. The most important one was that Gong Yangling showed up with her mutant rat Black Fang and joined the military.
The other mutated rats that came in were either killed by Linghu's leaders, or they defected to Heiya.
"By the way, where's Xiaohong?" Xiao Mo pretended to mention it casually. He saw the young man when he opened his eyes before, but then he fell asleep again under the other's whisper.
Cheng Zai said "Oh", "He went to the kitchen to make something for you. You fell asleep for two days before you woke up, and you couldn't eat a lot of things. It was he who informed me that you were awake and asked me to go to bed before he came back." Look at you."
"Like this..." Xiao Mo touched his lips and his face suddenly turned red. He was not completely unconscious during the two days he was asleep. He could feel that someone was always accompanying him. During this period, he had dreamed of drinking water and going to the toilet several times. Now that he thinks about it...
"Attention Scavenger Xiao Mo, please choose the system reward for completing the third level mission No. 02. There are three options for the reward content. You can choose one." The cold voice of the system sounded in his mind.
"Project one, genetic optimization by 5%, you can choose the direction of optimization. Project two, spiritual space development, with a size of three cubic meters. Project three, an elite guardian beast egg."
Xiao Mo subconsciously tightened his hand on the mineral water bottle. He wasn't surprised that there were rewards, but why were there guardian beast eggs? Is this thing common to recyclers and breeders
