Urban Giant Wolf Legend (9)

"It's okay, it's okay. The lung sounds are fine, and the blood pressure is normal for now. Bones... I can't feel any bones, and I don't know how to do a CT scan... Tsk, what should I do... How about taking some hemostatic medicine first... Oh, right, some antibiotics... Hiss, could the wolf have rabies? There doesn't seem to be any medicine here..."

Liang Qing leaned wearily against the table, watching Shi Xiaofeng muttering to herself as she frantically searched for various medications in the medicine storage room. She had fixed her dislocated arm herself, a common occurrence for a semi-professional athlete who spent years in the training grounds.

Shi Xiaofeng had also cleaned and disinfected the bruises on her back. However, seeing Liang spit out some blood, Shi Xiaofeng, who deeply suspected that her ribs were broken, was almost nervous and collapsed.

Liang Qing reasonably suspected that if this happened in the real world, Shi Xiaofeng would keep him in the hospital for a month before he felt at ease.

At this moment, they were on the first floor of the underground laboratory, which was the reception room and office area. Shi Xiaofeng was obviously very familiar with this place. He took out the medical kit and took care of Liang Qing.

"Hey, let me tell you..." Liang Qing carried the kid out. He opened his eyes curiously and looked around the brightly lit room. "You know what that masked man is doing, right?"

Liang Qing asked calmly. Shi Xiaofeng, who was still collecting bottles and jars, suddenly stopped.

Liang Qing teased the kid and continued casually, "He knows how to deal with wolves, and you know that. You told me before that you didn't know anything about the experiment except that you were a player character in the scripted story. You were actually lying to me."

"You are the core figure, the chosen one, so to speak. If there is a player who can complete this game, there are only two possibilities: one is that he is allied with you, and the other is that he is you."

Shi Xiaofeng turned around, a little afraid to look Liang Qing in the eye, and whispered, "How did you know?"

Liang Qing shrugged. "It's simple. You didn't even ask me what I, the masked man, was going to do. This is too bizarre for a chatterbox like me."

Shi Xiaofeng: ...

He scratched his head and confessed honestly, "That person probably wanted to use flour as a medium to spread the hallucinogenic drug. In the process of modifying the genes and creating the giant wolves, the research and development team left a 'backdoor'. This backdoor is a code stored in the laboratory computer. Once set at a certain time, the code will be converted into fixed audio commands. The longer the wolves are exposed to the hallucinogen, the more obedient they become to the coded commands."

"Can you operate the code?"

Shi Xiaofeng touched his nose and admitted embarrassedly, "Yes. It's very simple. At this stage, we are only developing two codes. One command is to make them kill each other, in case the wolf pack gets out of control, and the other is to make them have some kind of childhood hallucination. I don't know what it is specifically, but it should be related to the wolf mother."

Liang Qing listened and touched the kid's bottom. His diaper was full. She pushed him to Shi Xiaofeng and said, "To atone for your sin, you change his diaper."

Shi Xiaofeng raised his head, his face full of surprise: "You won't chase me away?"

Liang Qing shook his head: "If you open the door today and don't look back, then not only will I drive you away, but I will also most likely find an opportunity to trick you in the future."

Shi Xiaofeng: What’s with this spine-chilling honesty?

"Thank you for taking me in." Shi Xiaofeng sniffed. "I know myself well. I'm not the chosen one. I'm not good at fighting or running away. I'm a winner if I can just survive. I'm also afraid of running into another Zhu Chengyong, so I left myself a way out."

"That's understandable. I told you that anyone who teams up with me can't be a fool. You've proven that, so there's no need to feel sorry for yourself."

Liang Qing held up her chin as she watched Shi Xiaofeng pull the diaper off. The next second, a stream of transparent liquid shot up into the sky, soaking Shi Xiaofeng's face. His face instantly fell.

Liang Qing smiled with satisfaction: "Well, he is really my good son."

Shi Xiaofeng:?

The kid drank his milk and fell asleep again. Liang Qing put him back into the training bag, and the two of them began to get busy.

Shi Xiaofeng checked the surveillance footage. There weren't many players left in the dungeon, most of whom had already enrolled at the Medical University. Liang Qing set the code's timer to an hour later, at five in the morning.

After finishing all this, the two went to the elevator shaft and prepared to sneak into the second underground floor where the hallucinogens were stored.

"Where did you come up with the idea of ​​using wolf fangs to fight the alpha wolf?" Shi Xiaofeng asked, recalling the details of the battle.

Liang Qing briefly recounted his thoughts to him. Shi Xiaofeng gave him a thumbs-up: "I've found the right person to follow, someone who can still use his brain in such a life-threatening situation."

"It's useless. You can't use this trick a second time. That wolf is too smart. It will definitely be prepared for a close-range attack next time."

The two of them talked as they entered the elevator. The elevator had only two buttons, one for the underground floor where they were, and the other for a secret laboratory deep inside, which was also the place where the experiment failed and the giant wolf was born.

Liang Qing took out two guns from the bag, put the two on her waist and the long gun in her hand. She threw a few smoke bombs and grenades to Shi Xiaofeng for self-defense.

The elevator door opened, and the corridor was dark. Shi Xiaofeng fumbled for the switch on the wall, and with a click, the light came on.

It took the two of them a few seconds to adjust to the change in light, and they saw the entire confidential laboratory - a black hole was blown out in the wall of the laboratory, computer files were shattered and scattered all over the floor, and there were traces of animal hair and blood on the ground.

Further away, rows of glass cabinets held hundreds of different colored preparations. Most of the preparations, along with the glass cabinets, had been pushed to the ground, leaving only the last row standing, somewhat conspicuously.

"Oh my god, not a single bit left?" Shi Xiaofeng took one look and headed straight for the last row. He rushed forward, pried open the mirror cabinet, and peered inside. Behind the highest-security bulletproof glass door, two rows of test tube racks lay empty.

"Is this the place?" Liang Qing asked while studying the footprints on the ground.

"Yes, this is the cabinet where powerful hallucinogens are stored." Shi Xiaofeng lowered his voice. "These hallucinogens were originally used for female wolves. They can enable the central nervous system of the wolf pack to recognize and accept human commands, and then through special means, strengthen and replace their musculoskeletal structure, turning the new generation of wolves into war machines."

That's the complete story.

Liang Qing frowned, staring at the two footprints and then bent down. Behind him, Shi Xiaofeng muttered, "Hey, it seems the lock on this cabinet is the wrong color."

She looked up and saw Shi Xiaofeng moving closer, staring at the iris reader and speaking.

"Don't move!" Liang Qing realized something and she pulled Shi Xiaofeng hard, but it was too late. The iris reader flashed a light, and with a "click", something was unlocked.

It was not the glass cabinet in front of them, but the one closest to the door and farthest from Liang Qing and the others. That cabinet was hidden in the dim light in the corner.

By the time they could see clearly, the potion had already been taken out of the cabinet. Clearly, the iris reader had been swapped. The person who could do this not only had a strong mechanical talent but was also likely an insider of the script.

"After all my planning, I ended up being tricked..." Shi Xiaofeng clenched his fists and whispered with gritted teeth.

Liang Qing pointed his pistol steadily in the direction where the man was standing. The other party did not move, nor did he show any intention of leaving.

"Tell me, do you want to make conditions or join forces?"

"condition."

A dark figure slowly emerged, a tall, thin figure, almost silent as it walked. Liang Qing only then took a closer look at the lines on the man's mask. The man's jawline was faintly visible, smooth and strong.

His voice is just like the feeling he gives people, low and cold.

"what would you like?"

"Child."

Shi Xiaofeng looked at Liang Qing in surprise, then at the man. For a few seconds, Liang Qing remained silent, neither agreeing nor denying.

Shi Xiaofeng was a little anxious. He wanted to remind Liang Qing not to be fooled, but he heard Liang Qing ask an irrelevant question.

"Your player number."

With almost no hesitation, the answer came from the other side: "B56M28GY".

Liang Qing held the gun in his hand and did not lower it: "It's impossible to negotiate terms. Your only way to survive is cooperation."

"Really?" A faint laugh came from under the mask.

"Give it a try." Liang Qing tilted her head slightly and took aim. Beside her, Shi Xiaofeng also took an attacking stance.

At that moment, the entire laboratory was plunged into darkness, the power outage triggering the activation of emergency equipment. After a deafening thirty-second countdown, the entire space was bathed in blood-red light. The spot where the masked man had stood was empty, and behind him lay the exposed electrical switch.

"He ran away?" Shi Xiaofeng put down the grenade.

"Something's wrong." Liang Qing quickly looked around, feeling the subtle flow of air.

She quickly took off her training bag, hung it around Shi Xiaofeng's neck, pushed him into the glass cabinet behind her, and locked it again.

Sure enough, the next second, there was a rustling of wind in his ears. There was nothing before his eyes, but a hand stretched out from thin air and grasped Liang Qing's arm with a grappling motion. Liang Qing skillfully broke free, imagining the opponent's silhouette in his mind and raised his leg to kick, but the opponent dodged.

Liang Qing couldn't see the masked man but she knew he was close by, so she attacked based entirely on her intuition.

The opponent seemed to be familiar with this kind of fighting, countering each move. One in the open, the other in the dark, seeing time dragging away, Liang Qing had no advantage at all.

She knew that if he pulled out a weapon, she would be defenseless. She dodged, leaping from a pile of glass cases and running towards the center console. The only way to escape him was to take a risky move.

There were footsteps behind him. Liang Qing bet right. He really followed him and probably guessed what he was going to do.

She ran while knocking over more glass cabinets to create obstacles, and finally pressed the button when the other party grabbed her shoulders again.

A dull tremor awoke from deep beneath the earth, carrying the force to move mountains and rivers. A fresh scent, tinged with the scent of gunpowder and blood, seeped in from the surface, followed by gusts of evening wind and the howling of giant wolves. The door to the underground laboratory opened, and two wolves roaming nearby scurried in.

A minute later, the door slowly closed again.

"Two wolves, enjoy it." Liang Qing felt the other party's breath close to him and smiled slightly.
