Chapter 4 The Temptation of Food
Su Wanqing used the toe of her shoe to crush the mushrooms growing in the cracks between the tiles, and the mucus on the soles of her boots made a crackling sound.
The constant temperature system in the jade bracelet space made her wet tactical uniform hot. She stared at Lin Che who was curled up in the corner. When she tore open the vacuum packaging with her hands, she deliberately made the aluminum foil layer rustle.
Hearing the sound, the boy's neck suddenly tilted back and hit the metal wall, and the bulge in his throat slid up and down.
Su Wanqing held the beef jerky and waved it in front of his nose for a half circle, then flicked her wrist and threw the beef jerky into the puddle of water two meters away.
A dark green oil film floated on the water surface, and the rotten corpses of rats floated up and down in the ripples.
Lin Che moved, and the sound of his knees scraping against the ground was like a broken sack hitting the concrete floor.
When Su Wanqing counted to the third second, she saw him inserting his ten fingers into the mud to pick up beef jerky stained with rotten meat residue. The dark red dirt in the cracks of his fingernails mixed with the mud.
The boy stuffed the food into his mouth too quickly, and his Adam's apple got stuck in the middle of his throat.
"Will you die if you eat slowly?" Su Wanqing squatted down and patted his back. Her palm felt the protruding spine through the wet school uniform.
Lin Che's eyes were bloodshot from coughing, and an egg-sized lump bulged under the skin of his neck when he swallowed.
A system pop-up window appeared on the back of his neck with light blue ripples: [Unactivated supernatural core detected].
At this moment, the floor suddenly shook and the sound of nails scratching metal came from the ventilation duct.
Su Wanqing grabbed Lin Che's collar and quickly pulled him back. She saw old whip marks on the back of his school uniform, and the most recent wound was still stained with rust from the reservoir.
The black tattoo on the inside of the boy's wrist twisted as he swallowed, as if it had been burned with a branding iron.
"Water!" Lin Che suddenly grabbed the straps of her combat boots and said in a hoarse voice at the end of the French sentence.
Su Wanqing unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and poured it on his head. She watched the water flow along his collarbone and into his collar, then she curled her lips and smiled unkindly.
The boy's Adam's apple rolled more than twice as fast as a normal person, and his wet silver-white hair tips were turning back to purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At that time, there was a loud noise of the security door being knocked down downstairs, and the Chihuahua raised by the old lady in Room 401 started barking abnormally.
Su Wanqing took out an infrared telescope and mounted it on the window frame. She saw three men opposite chopping the door of room 304 with fire axes.
The bald landlord's body was hung on the clothesline on the second floor, with his intestines hanging down and touching the windowsill.
“Do you want more?” She shook the newly opened chocolate wrapper in her hand and said to Lin Che.
Lin Che's pupils suddenly shrank into vertical lines, and his canine teeth bit through his lower lip, causing blood to ooze out.
Su Wanqing deliberately broke the chocolate into small pieces and threw them in different directions, watching the boy chasing the food scraps on all fours like a hungry wild dog.
When Lin Che grabbed the last piece, he suddenly froze, his neck tilted back at a strange angle.
Su Wanqing rushed over and pinched his chin, and found that the chocolate was stuck in his spasming esophagus.
The boy dug his fingers into the skin at the Adam's apple, leaving five bloody marks, and suddenly began to retch. The mucus he vomited was mixed with semi-digested beef fibers.
"Has the research institute used you to test drugs?" Su Wanqing pried open his teeth with a tactical dagger and pressed the back of the knife against the root of his twitching tongue.
Lin Che's stomach suddenly made a high-frequency sound, and spider-web-like blue-black blood vessels appeared under his skin.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The system warning box flashed wildly on the retina: [Precursors of superpower riot detected].
At the same time, the howling of wild dogs suddenly approached the fire door on the third floor, mixed with the crisp sound of human finger bones being chewed.
Su Wanqing grabbed Lin Che by the collar and dragged him to the vent, then tore open the package of compressed biscuits and stuffed them between his teeth.
The boy's Adam's apple rolled violently three times and then suddenly stiffened, and his pupils spread into pure black in the entire eye socket.
"It's too early to pretend to be dead now." Su Wanqing put the dagger behind his ear to warm it up, and white smoke with a burnt smell came out when the blade touched the skin.
