Chapter 177 Saying Hello

Krasnoyarsk Krai.

A011 Deep Infection Zone.

He Yu looked up ahead and realized that they had already approached the repair shop.

Most of the doors and windows were closed, with only one occasionally half-open, but nothing could be seen through it.

In the memories I had previously gleaned from those soldiers, there was a trap set up here, a plot designed to be noticed by everyone—presumably the mastermind was hiding inside observing everything, and the show was equally thrilling and bloody.

This is the place they've been looking for. That bastard from Honey Pavilion is inside. This is his "design," his Easter egg.

He claimed that everyone here is equal, and all you need to do is follow along and cooperate with him in his "execution style," such as torturing others and doing similar things—and those idiots even actually believe that they are safe once they do it.

"What fucking awful taste... It's like Beelzebub's stuff, torture? What a pathetic method." Pandora looked at him with disgust, saying, "I bet the bastards hiding here must have been deprived of love in their childhood."

She stared ahead for a while, then suddenly grabbed a multi-shot rocket from the weapon pouch in the back seat—a limited edition, of course, sent by Lu Jin. This guy could get anything; it was terrifying. She then fired several rockets toward the repair station.

The repair shop was instantly engulfed in chaos, with explosions and flames erupting everywhere.

Pandora fired all the remaining shells, then, as if suddenly remembering something, tossed the rocket launcher aside and went to grab the special ability suppression gun. Seeing He Yu glance at her, she grinned at him and said, "What's up? Just a friendly greeting."

Their car drove straight into the protective barrier that Pandora had just blown up, and didn't stop until it reached the entrance of the repair shop.

Those frog-egg-shaped ghostly things chased them all the way here before stopping, but they showed no intention of completely retreating.

He Yu withdrew the blessing, jumped out of the car, looked around, then got a gun from Pandora and smashed all the surveillance cameras hidden in the blind spots.

He then walked over to look at the outer wall in front, which was nearly half collapsed. Rockets and special guns had made a mess of the place, but familiar shadows could still be seen on the surface of the debris.

—One after another, bloody graffiti was painted on the walls, mostly depicting scenes of Eoubs' executions, such as slow slicing, interrogation, and racks.

Seeing this, He Yu remained silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards Pandora.

As he walked, he pulled a very familiar-looking notebook from his pocket and said, "You stay here and wait for me to come out."

"Huh?" Pandora was taken aback by his words, but instinctively took the notebook back. After glancing at it a few times, she realized that this was the very thing Carlos always carried around. She thought to herself, "Putting aside how you have other people's special weapons, I've already come all this way with you, and you're just going to dump me like that?"

"I understand." She pondered for a few seconds and said seriously, "You're playing the victim card."

"Stop watching those movies that will affect people's intelligence with Yu Jianchu." On the other hand, He Yu gave a direct negative answer and continued, "The reason I let you stay here is not important."

He paused, then decided to be more explicit: "I'm giving you two choices. First, go back to the car, sleep or daydream, but don't even think about going to the repair shop. That notebook is a copy of mine; you can look through its features and tear out whatever you want to use. Second, come in with me and get ripped off."

Pandora finally came to her senses. Something that could make this jerk talk so seriously must be something extraordinary. She knew better than to back down and slipped back into the car, making a farewell gesture to him through the window.

He Yu remained calm and composed. He slowly walked forward, pushed open the still-burning door, and went straight inside.

He was certain of the other person's location and knew what he was about to see. Although those people's memories were too chaotic, consisting only of fragments that couldn't be pieced together, it was enough.

He took a breath. In the corner sat several half-assembled delivery units, and in the center of the room were piles of various firearm parts. The scene looked somewhat chaotic, yet there was a strange pattern to it. It was as if a group of people had spent a lot of time here, and they knew exactly where to put things, as if it were second nature.

They stood alone under the fluorescent lights, as if nothing bad had ever happened here—no death, no infighting, no killing or tragedy. Although desolate and chaotic, it was still a safe haven, and everyone was still the same as before.

Then he saw the thing emerge from the corner of the second-floor maintenance room.

Previously, it clung to the ceiling like a crawling animal—it must have once been a person, but after being modified, it became extremely deformed, even wearing an operative's uniform. Its human features were almost completely gone; its limbs became slimy and disgusting, like the 083 outside, covered in a row of grayish-white spots, as if it had mutated and rotted from the inside out. Suddenly, its human-like mouth burst open, its mouthparts resembling flower petals or insect fangs.

That thing couldn't stand upright on its two legs, so it could only climb on all fours. Its movements were very natural, as it had completely forgotten how it used to move, so it could only move like this, and it craved human flesh and blood.

He Yu turned his head and saw a corpse lying at its feet. It was no longer possible to tell its gender or appearance. The flesh and blood of the person had been drained, and only wrinkled skin tightly wrapped the remaining bones inside.

He stood still, glancing at the creature, when suddenly an invisible force struck its head.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the entire building slab on the stairs was blasted through, leaving the second floor in a complete mess in an instant, which was how it should have been.

He Yu continued deeper into the area. In the next minute, he cleared out ten more of the same monsters that were trying to pounce on him for a meal, then stopped and squatted down to look at the pile of red capsules on the floor.

He picked it up and crumpled it between his fingertips. He knew what it was: a new inhibitor recently launched by Eoubs, a good medicine for stabilizing mental pollution levels.

These are special snacks for the Adjudication Department and the Action Department. They are highly effective and can be carried around for immediate use. Apart from not giving you too much of a high, they are similar to hallucinogens, except that they have the added benefit of prolonging life.

Just then.

He heard someone curse outside the repair shop, followed by a burst of gunfire.

He Yu turned his head and saw the man in the lead pushing open the door and walking into the hall, cursing as he did so.

"Damn it, why does that bastard He Yu fight us like the plague?"
