330 Pollution

◎Entering the contaminated area◎

Half of Su He's body was still stuck in the stone wall, and only her upper body could move freely. After the so-called doomsday battle in Area 103, the Resurrection Society brought back the bodies of Su He and Song Zhizhang.

Absolute defense is difficult to remove, so they found a corrosion-type mutant to remove a little bit of it.

There was a huge glass jar behind Su He. The stones peeled from Su He's body were soaked in nutrient solution, and the outline of Song Zhizhang's facial features could be vaguely seen.

Is he still alive? Of course, if he were truly dead, the wall in front of District 103, along with the defenses on Su He's body, would collapse.

But is he dead? Su He felt that this kind of life was worse than death.

He lives not as a man but as a stone.

What would Zhu Ning think if he encountered Song Zhizhang like this? Perhaps he would just find a way to send him off, to prevent him from lingering in this state.

A scar with a stone wall pattern formed on Su He's skin. Song Zhizhang was connected to Su He to some extent. She would never be able to completely remove it in her lifetime, and there would always be a mark left.

While Su He was recovering from his injury, the recovery meeting progressed very slowly. It was heard that Li Xiugang had just boarded the Homecoming Train. Just like last time, he had clearly reported that he had returned with the urn, but then the communication disappeared.

They speculated internally that Li Xiugang had betrayed them and that anyone who came into contact with the urn would be contaminated. Li Xiugang was probably dead now, or had become a slave to the contaminants.

But where are the bodies and the contaminants?

Their line has hit a bottleneck again. Recently, Huo Wenxi has been investigating the Resuscitation Society. The Resuscitation Society's actions have been extremely cautious, which can be regarded as a dormant period.

When Su He received the call from Qi Xueliu, her lower body was trapped in the stone wall. A man was following her and was removing the broken stones from her right arm.

"I'm... Qi Xueliu." There was a little girl opposite, who seemed a little nervous.

Su He quickly remembered who Qi Xueliu was. Before she betrayed the Federation, this girl stood guard for her. When Su He was in the Federation, she was taciturn and had a bad relationship with her colleagues. She only gave this contact number to one person, Qi Xueliu.

It’s just that Qi Xueliu never contacted her, and she thought she had forgotten about him.

In Su He's impression, Qi Xueliu is a very good seedling.

The time in the Federation seemed like a lifetime ago, reminding Su He of his youth. Su He asked, "What's the matter?"

Qi Xueliu briefly described her situation, even stuttering a bit due to nervousness. Su He listened absentmindedly and asked the key point, "Did you walk all the way with Zhu Ning?"

Qi Xueliu was originally very excited when she heard Su He's voice, as if she received the final confirmation call from HR when applying for a job, and whether she could get the job depended on this one call.

But Su He's words suddenly calmed her down, and she said softly, "Yes."

Her voice became softer, and along with the sound of the wind, it entered Su He's ears. Su He asked, "Do you have any information to share about Zhu Ning?"

Qi Xueliu stared into the distance, looking at the orange-yellow skyline, "No."

She had promised Zhu Ning that she would not tell anyone about Chen Qihang, and she believed that joining Su He had nothing to do with this matter.

But this was Qi Xueliu's unilateral consideration. She had already felt that this matter was hopeless. She couldn't bring any value to Su He. It was really abrupt. What kind of superpowers could Su He not find by his side? What kind of person was she? Qi Xueliu was just looking for an excuse to die.

Su He suddenly asked, "What kind of person is Zhu Ning?"

Su He was very curious about Zhu Ning. She didn't know much about this true god, but she had always accepted her fate. Last time in District 103, Zhu Ning had defeated her.

Qi Xueliu didn't expect to be asked this question. It was like an interviewer suddenly asked a question. Her mind was full of Zhu Ning jumping on the homecoming train. She chose her words carefully: "Adventurous, calm, a little smart, a little naive..."

Qi Xueliu wasn't too familiar with Zhu Ning, having only worked with her once. After a moment's thought, she added, "It's very comfortable working with her."

Similar to what others described, Su He became more and more interested in Zhu Ning, and he didn't know which side Zhu Ning would choose after knowing the truth about the world.

She looked at the peeled body of Song Zhizhang. It would be interesting if Zhu Ning became her ally.

The Corrosionist beside her peeled off another piece of stone, along with the flesh on her right hand, revealing the white bones. Su He felt no pain at all and asked, "You didn't follow her?"

According to Qi Xueliu, Zhu Ning is a very good captain. Although the federal people call her a devil, as long as Zhu Ning wants, there are many people willing to follow her.

Moreover, Zhu Ning sounded easy to get along with. Why didn't Qi Xueliu pursue the true God instead of coming to find a traitor to the Federation? She remembered that Qi Xueliu was an "excellent student" in the Federation.

Qi Xueliu suddenly choked up. If she were another leader, she could have said some high-sounding nonsense, like wanting to learn from you, wanting to be loyal to you, etc., but because Qi Xueliu was sincere, once she said it, it would seem frivolous, so she would rather keep silent.

Su He waited for five seconds but didn't hear a response. Surprisingly, he didn't persist. "I remember you were a mind controller?"

Qi Xueliu said blankly: "Yes..."

Su He: "I'll give you the address."

Su He hung up after saying this. Qi Xueliu stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time. She seemed to have received an offer she liked. She was stunned at first and then excited. She suddenly understood Zhu Ning and really wanted to find someone to high-five.

But there was no one around her, so she slammed the steering wheel and accidentally pressed the car horn. The horn sounded particularly loud in the wilderness.

Su He hung up the call and said to his assistant, "Find someone to receive her."

The assistant asked, "Are you really going to let her come?"

It sounds like Qi Xueliu has no idea about the logic of how the world works. She is just an ignorant little kid who follows Su He blindly.

When Su He was the leader, she wanted to stand guard. When Su He rebelled, she also wanted to join the Recovery Society.

If Su He goes to hell, Qi Xueliu may follow.

As for what the revival would be like and what the federation would be, Qi Xueliu didn't care at all.

Su He finally found something relaxing in this heavy world. Acting for great ambitions will make people tired over time, and she is no exception.

She peeled a piece of fruit candy and said, "You have to keep your promises to others."

…

Zhu Ning and his friends took a different route.

According to Pei Shu, there was a high probability that they had been located. If Lu Yao told Prometheus the coordinates, Prometheus would be able to calculate their approximate position and the second round of pursuit would follow immediately.

Zhu Ning is a flamboyant person with many enemies. Even the Eternal Life Pharmaceutical Revival Association wants to find her. She would rather take a small road and run into pollutants than face a killer on the main road.

When exploring outside the wall, they mostly followed the main road. Highways and railways were good landmarks. Now, in order to avoid being hunted down, they were like fleeing prisoners, going wherever was remote.

Bai Cheng and Pei Shu both have a gambling mentality. They only know the starting point and the end point, and what they pass by along the way depends on fate.

But maybe because of their captain Zhu Ning, the four gamblers all have good psychological qualities and have a sense of letting things go their own way.

They walked safely for three days, during which time they dug out another Bai Cheng in a remote mountain. This time, Zhu Ning followed Bai Cheng himself and did not encounter any danger.

Zhu Ning thought that she didn't need to recruit teammates. If she was short of a few, she could just find some Bai Chengs. There would be no need for them to get used to each other because everyone knew each other well.

But Shin Baicheng was even more stiff, sitting in the back seat like a twin female ghost. Baicheng would comb Shin Baicheng's hair and dress her when he had nothing to do, dressing her up like a doll.

Zhu Ning, who knew Bai Cheng, found the scene a bit scary. Bai Cheng was grinning while combing her hair, and Pei Shu, who was knitting a sweater nearby, quietly moved away.

Pei Shu used the extra pink wool to weave a blessing of peace and happiness and hung it on the front of the car as a decoration. The car became inexplicably cuter.

The music played in the car was a very old jazz song. It was a tape they picked up on the roadside. The main feature was a blind box. The previous one was an old love song of Shamatte, and this one was more normal.

Chila——

The car stereo suddenly jammed. Zhu Ning pressed the pause button and pulled out the cassette, but the music didn't stop and continued to play intermittently.

Pei Shu: "Maybe we've entered a contaminated area."

Zhu Ning looked out the window. This was a village with a few scattered single-family houses. It was not a particularly large village.

The small village is built by the water, and the water surface is covered with green duckweed. Several families have opened farmhouses with signs hanging at the door that read: Farmhouse experience, freshly killed and eaten.

It was completely dark, but because it had been dusty and sandy recently, the quiet village was covered with a layer of yellow. Visibility was very low, and it seemed as if it could swallow people from a distance.

Lin Xiaofeng tried to drive out, but he was like a headless fly circling in circles. He circled above the village twice and still couldn't find a way out. Only then did he realize that he had really crashed into the contaminated area.

Pei Shu and Bai Cheng were unfamiliar with this place, but they had already spent two days in peace with the help of a guide. Walking outside the wall, it was normal to enter the contaminated area, and it would be abnormal not to enter.

Zhu Ning: "Get out of the car and take a look."

Lin Xiaofeng parked his car on the cement road, which had cracked long ago and had weeds growing in the cracks. There was also a tractor parked next to it.

Zhu Ning had been to the deserted village before. The deserted village was considered a new-age village. The village was more primitive and most people made a living by aquaculture.

There are also some people who make a living by enjoying the mountains and rivers, and some who are more business-minded, open farmhouses to attract city dwellers to come for a two-day weekend trip.

Every household has a dog, and as soon as they landed they heard dogs barking, as if the four of them were ghosts.

Even if there are villagers here, they are probably polluted. Zhu Ning said, "Search."

Zhu Ning simply assigned four people to be responsible for the search area, and Lin Xiaofeng could now search for clues on his own.

Bai Cheng put his other self into a body bag and carried it on his back very skillfully. Zhu Ning felt that since Bai Cheng found his other self, he felt much better and walked more briskly.

Zhu Ning and the other three were wearing protective clothing. After getting out of the car, they turned on the stealth mode and searched for clues separately. Zhu Ning looked into the distance and saw Spring Festival couplets posted on the doors of every household and red lanterns, as if they had just celebrated the New Year or had held some happy event.

The village has a rich water system. It is close to the water and has dug many artificial ponds.

Zhu Ning pushed open an iron door. As soon as he entered, the black dog barked wildly and the iron chain was tightened. It was no different from an ordinary dog, just a pastoral dog, with its teeth bared.

There are chicken coops in the yard, each cage is full of chickens. Every chicken is very quiet, and their black eyes look at us, making people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

The soil on the ground was extremely sticky, leaving puddles wherever he stepped. It must have rained not long ago. Zhu Ning tentatively asked, "Is anyone there?"

No one answered her, only a wooden door with the word "Fu" pasted upside down.

Zhu Ning pushed open the main house. Most of the furniture inside was made of wood and was extremely old. The dim electric lights were swaying from being pulled by a rope. The televisions were all big and bulky models with two antennas sticking out of them.

Zhu Ning walked around the house, but apart from feeling that it was old, she had no other clues. She walked through the main house, which was connected to a pond behind it with a small boat parked next to it.

There were figures moving in the distance, and Bai Cheng also entered a house carrying a body bag. At least the space was not isolated, so she could see the movements of her teammates.

Suddenly, Zhu Ning heard the sound of water.

Zhu Ning immediately became alert. When the beam of light shot over, he only saw ripples on the water surface. He didn't know what creature was there before, but it had disappeared now. Only a group of tadpoles were left wriggling in the water.

Zhu Ning squatted down and saw her own shadow reflected on the water surface. She observed it from a God's perspective and found that she could not see anything underwater. It was a chaos and seemed to be bottomless. What creature had just swam past?

Zhu Ning subconsciously touched the back of his neck and felt that it was heavy, wet, and a little itchy.

She stood up, touching her neck, as if she had suffered from spinal disease for many years. She wanted to go back and meet Bai Cheng who was nearest to her to exchange news.

But she suddenly stopped touching her neck, and a gust of wind blew. She didn't see any water ghost, but was stunned by her own change.

Zhu Ning's internal camera is on, which is like a mirror, allowing people outside the wall to detect any abnormality in him at any time.

Now Zhu Ning tilted his head towards the camera, and the image inside magnified Zhu Ning's face. There was an extra black spot from the left side of his chin to the edge of his neck. It was easy to be overlooked and looked like a mole.

When did she get the mole?

Under Zhu Ning's gaze, the mole seemed to move slightly.
