Chapter 55
Ji Mingyuan deducted the money from his account without saying a word, and brought out two fried pork chop bento boxes from the kitchen and placed them in front of them.
The marinated pork is fried, coated with golden breadcrumbs, and decorated with some green leaves and cherry tomatoes, which looks particularly tempting.
Wen Bei glanced at Ji Mingyuan and also felt that there was something wrong with his attitude.
Luo's attention was completely attracted by the fried pork cutlet bento. He held the bento box and ate it with relish. He took a big piece of pork cutlet and a mouthful of rice, and his mouth was full in an instant.
He looked at the person in charge who hadn't even started eating yet, his eyes showing doubt: "Aren't you going to eat?"
The person in charge looked at him with a stiff smile, or perhaps the curve of his mouth hadn't changed since a moment ago: "I need to go to the bathroom."
The sound was still a little choppy, and the hoarse voice sounded like a cassette film.
Before Luo could react, he had already stood up and went to the bathroom.
Ah Luo's face was immediately filled with guilt: "I forgot that his hand was injured and he couldn't eat by himself."
Ji Mingyuan had seen too many polluters injured outside the base. One of his teammates was even forced to have his limbs amputated in the wild after falling into a swamp. The environment was very bad at the time, and they were able to survive only with their obsession and the polluters' own high quality.
After finally escaping death, he returned to the base and as soon as he saw his anxious wife rushing over, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he died.
There was no time to say a word.
In order to bring him back, they gave up a lot of supplies. He was also questioned by some people before he became the president. If that person died on the way, they would have given up supplies for a useless corpse.
Fortunately, they finally met for the last time.
Things like this are commonplace in the end times.
So when Ji Mingyuan saw that the person in charge had lost both hands, there was not much emotion on his face.
Not even numb.
He didn't mean to humiliate the person in charge, it was just a basic test.
Ji Mingyuan turned his head and looked at Wen Bei, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
When the person in charge faced a delicious food that was within reach but he couldn't eat, his first reaction was not anxiety or embarrassment. Instead, his unchanged expression made it seem even more weird. At this moment, even fear, doubt and hesitation were more convincing.
There's something wrong with him.
It started from the moment I stepped into this hotel, or rather, long before I stepped into the hotel.
Wen Bei frowned: "Let's go and take a look."
Ah Luo was a reckless and straightforward person. Even at this moment, he hadn't doubted the person in charge. Perhaps it was subconscious resistance that made him look confused. "I, I can go. He might not be feeling well, or the restaurant might be too crowded..."
He couldn't even finish the last half of the sentence.
The person in charge often hands over people sent by the base, and faces a crowded safe zone where everyone is in danger every day. How could he be afraid of others?
A hint of panic appeared on Luo's face. He even put down the lunch box he was enjoying and walked straight towards the toilet.
Wen Bei and Ji Mingyuan followed without saying a word.
In the toilet, a mirror reflected the ferocious expression of the person in charge at the moment.
His face was covered with thread-like things wriggling under his skin, like a devil, until finally the whites of his eyes were gradually occupied by red thread-like things, leaving only a blood-red area. If you looked closely, you could see that the blood-red area was wriggling and was not a dead object.
A Luo walked too fast and too hastily, and before Ji Mingyuan could react, he rushed into the toilet.
"ah!"
A shrill scream came from the toilet.
Ji Mingyuan suddenly kicked open the door that hadn't yet been completely closed: "What's wrong?"
His voice sounded very safe. A Luo, who was pinned to the ground and bitten, suddenly looked up: "Save me!"
He was terrified. It was the first time he encountered such an attack from his companions. At the critical moment, he couldn't even use his special powers.
There were other people in the toilet. After seeing this scene, they were so scared that they went back into the cubicle and didn't dare to come out.
Ji Mingyuan swung his index and middle fingers forward, and a familiar eagle cry was heard. The black eagle grabbed the collar of the person in charge and pulled him down. Its sharp claws tore the flesh on his face. The imagined scene of torn skin and flesh did not appear, and blood did not flow out of the wound. Instead, clumps of red lines appeared.
It just clung to the flesh and squirmed wildly.
Aro screamed, "He's been contaminated!?"
He was closest to the person in charge and could directly see the red filamentous objects twisting continuously, twitching like blood vessels and nerves that could be observed with the naked eye.
"What's contaminated?"
The passenger who had just hidden in the cubicle had been eavesdropping. Upon hearing this, he immediately poked his head out with a nervous look on his face: "Doesn't this hotel claim to keep filth out?"
Wen Bei: "Wait."
He raised his hand and interrupted the two people's noisy conversation.
The toilet became quiet, with only a slight sound coming from the person in charge, which was the sound of sizzling under the skin.
Ji Mingyuan was the most experienced person present: "He hasn't turned into filth yet."
As soon as these words came out, the passenger believed it. Obviously, he also knew Ji Mingyuan's famous face in the base.
This is the idol and belief of many polluters.
After Ji Mingyuan was announced to be "missing", it was not only the people of the White Eagle Guild who were sad, but many polluters were also confused.
Even such a powerful person cannot withstand the pollution, and the cruel pressure of the end of the world comes again.
The polluter couldn't see the face of the person in charge. He only knew that he had just suddenly knocked someone down and was now being held by the eagle, unable to move.
If it was truly filthy, A Luo would have been a corpse by now.
The passenger breathed a sigh of relief. "Maybe the pollution level was too high and he lost control. Let's take him to get something to eat."
If the pollution level wasn't so high, I wouldn't come here.
The traveler took it for granted and convinced himself, and he walked out quickly to leave space for them.
Because the pollution level was too high and out of control, this would normally require an S-level alert, but in a hotel, this became an easy task.
Ji Mingyuan did not let go of the eagle.
A Luo: "It's okay, I'm fine, let's take him to eat something."
The last half of the sentence was almost in a pleading tone.
He showed his palm, on which was a tooth mark.
That was the wound caused by the person in charge biting him just now. Since his teeth were not deformed, the wound was not deep and no blood was seen.
Wenbei: "Let's measure the pollution level first."
He must be responsible for the safety of other people in the hotel.
Ji Mingyuan had already stretched out his testing ring and dropped it on the person in charge.
【99! 】
【99! 】
【99! 】
After the red 99 flashed three times, the word "Danger" was enlarged and bolded and kept flashing on it.
Ji Mingyuan's pupils constricted, and he almost immediately shouted, "It's too late!"
Black Hawk grabbed him and dragged him out.
The transition between 99 and 100 sometimes takes half a month and sometimes takes two seconds.
This is the most dangerous distance from the filth. If you stand on the edge of the cliff, you will fall down and be smashed to pieces if the wind blows.
Wen Bei reacted very quickly: "Take him to the back garden!"
There is a hot spring in the back garden, which is the fastest-acting of all the expenses in the hotel.
Given his condition, his throat might be filled with these things and he might not be able to eat.
Ah Luo wiped his tears and said, "Where is that?"
His face was pale, and his skinny legs and feet were shaking unconsciously.
As a security guard, Ji Mingyuan naturally knew about the hot springs. He nodded quickly and let Black Hawk carry him out without hesitation.
The slightly larger black eagle can carry a person effortlessly, and can even hover in the air with the person in its mouth.
They avoided the most crowded road and Wen Bei directly opened the door to the back garden.
The moment he stepped into the back garden, the man who had been quiet suddenly struggled violently. Red blood lines appeared from his eyes, nostrils, ears, mouth, and any cracks on his face.
A Luo, who had been holding on, finally couldn't bear it anymore: "What the hell is this!?"
After he screamed, he actually started to retch and ran to the side to hold on to the wall.
Ji Mingyuan suddenly pulled Wen Bei back, and the Black Hawk loosened its sharp claws, letting the person in charge fall to the ground like mud.
Ji Mingyuan: "It's a deformed blood nematode."
In fact, from the first sight he saw it in the toilet, he knew what the infection was, but in order not to waste time and cause panic, he did not say it directly.
Now there is no need to hide.
Because it's too late...
Wen Bei looked at the person in charge in shock. This was the first time he had seen a person deformed with his own eyes.
It was also the first time that pollution was more directly impacted.
The person in charge who looked like a human just now was now covered with these moving blood-colored lines. The flesh under the skin began to disappear. Gradually, the person who was plump just now became shriveled, with wrinkled skin and no flesh to fill it.
The eyeballs and organs disappeared, and all the bones were gone.
It was not known whether the blood nematodes consumed all of his flesh and blood or replaced it, and in the end, only a piece of human skin was left on the ground.
Complete, hollow human skin.
A large group of blood nematodes swarmed out, but as soon as they touched the tiles near the hot spring, they all emitted white smoke from their bodies, and finally disappeared in a painful and twisted state.
Just like the strange flesh and blood that was bitten off.
This is the hotel's [rule].
The filth of foreign invasion cannot survive.
Wen Bei was a little dazed. He opened his mouth and found that his voice was a little hoarse: "But why..."
It was obviously not completely contaminated before entering the hotel.
Ji Mingyuan: "Because his contamination level was 99% at that time, he still had a trace of human rationality, so the hotel did not prevent him from coming in."
"Even if there weren't any pollution sources in the hotel that could contaminate him, the pollution level in his body has already reached a peak. It's only a matter of time before his body distorts and overflows. Even if we discovered it right away, it would be too late. His body has already become like this."
After saying this, Ji Mingyuan glanced at the human skin on the ground again: "...At least if we discovered it three hours earlier, there would be hope of recovery."
Ji Mingyuan is a somewhat serious and old-fashioned person, and Wen Bei knows that what he said was not meant to comfort him.
The person in charge entered the hotel for only an hour in total, so it was impossible for him to make it in time.
He simply felt a little uncomfortable.
A heart-wrenching retching pulled him out of his emotions.
Wen Bei turned around in surprise and saw A Luo leaning against the wall. The moment he saw what he was doing, his pupils trembled unconsciously.
A Luo opened his mouth wide and spit out something, but what he spit out was not food residue or acid water, but clumps of... blood nematodes.
