Chapter 6 Life-saving grace 2
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the stairwell, and the landlord's roar shook the wall dust down: "That woman must have at least 20 kilograms of meat in her bag!"
Listening to the sound in the stairwell, Su Wanqing took out an infrared detector and stuck it to the wall. The screen showed three red dots climbing to the seventh floor.
Lin Che's back suddenly arched into a shrimp shape, and the protrusion on his spine pushed open the scabbed wound, revealing half of the metal device.
The system pops up a holographic anatomical diagram: [The remaining validity period of the central nervous system inhibitor: 39 days and 23 hours].
Su Wanqing approached the boy, used a dagger to pry open his collar, and saw the dense needle holes on his shoulder blades.
Suddenly there was a scream downstairs, as if someone's arm had been torn off.
“Did those old guys at the research institute give you three insurance policies?” She unzipped Lin Che’s school uniform and pressed her fingertips on the chip implant scar on her sternum.
The boy suddenly twitched violently, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint. The data stream on his retina began to refresh the screen: [Gene lock cracking progress 62%78%]
When Lin Che opened his mouth to bite Su Wanqing's wrist, the howling of wild dogs in the corridor had already approached the corner of the fifth floor.
She shoved the tactical glove between his teeth and heard the sound of leather tearing.
The boy's stomach made a high-frequency rumbling sound, and the temperature of his skin soared to a level that could cook an egg.
"Listen." Su Wanqing grabbed his sweaty purple hair in front of his forehead, "I can defuse the bomb in your spine, but the condition is that you become my dog."
The building suddenly tilted, and the accumulated water carrying broken glass rushed to the northwest corner.
Lin Che was hung by the climbing rope and hit the wall, causing a dull sound on the back of his head.
Su Wanqing took the opportunity to press the bulge on the back of his neck and dug her nails into the festering wound.
The boy howled like a dying beast, and half of the sharp barbs popped out from the metal device on his spine.
The system warning box turned blood red: [Self-destruction program detected! ].
Su Wanqing took out a hydraulic shear from the space and clamped the barb, then stepped on Lin Che's kicking calf.
"Last chance." She pressed the blade of the hydraulic shears against the boy's Adam's apple. "Be my dog, or become zombie shit."
Lin Che suddenly stopped struggling, and her bloodstained eyelashes trembled twice.
Su Wanqing felt the temperature of the skin under her palm begin to drop, and the system popped up a prompt: [Gene lock cracked].
The blue-black blood vessels on the boy's neck gradually faded, and the moment his pupils refocused, he opened his mouth and bit the cookie crumbs she handed over.
The footsteps in the corridor suddenly stopped outside the fire door on the eighth floor. The landlord's breathing sounded like a broken bellows: "That bitch must be on the roof!"
Su Wanqing pulled Lin Che to the back of the ventilation duct using the climbing rope and saw that the metal device on his back wound was slowly being removed from his body.
"Swallow it." She slapped the last half of the biscuit into the boy's mouth.
When Lin Che's Adam's apple rolled, there was a crisp sound of metal falling to the ground from his spine.
The system prompt sounded in my ears: [Obtain permanent binding rights for S-level water-based mutants].
Su Wanqing stuck to the corner, listening to the dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground downstairs, followed by the sticky sound of wild dogs gnawing on internal organs.
She took out a silenced pistol and loaded it, and caught a glimpse of Lin Che wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the sleeve of his school uniform.
The boy suddenly grabbed her trouser leg and said in a breathy French tone: "There are seven more test subjects in the basement."
The thief-proof door was hit so hard that dust fell off the ceiling. The landlord's roar was bloody: "Catch that bitch and feed her to the dogs!"
Su Wanqing pulled Lin Che in front of her, and placed the dagger across his neck: "Now tell me, what are those seven things?"
The boy suddenly coughed violently, and the blood he vomited was mixed with metal fragments.
The system dissection diagram showed that the micro-bomb in his chest cavity had failed. Su Wanqing fiddled with the metal device stained with cerebrospinal fluid with the tip of her shoe and saw the words [Destruction procedure No. 0927 has been completed] engraved on the bottom.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“They are all failed samples.” Lin Che’s pupils began to dilate again, and he dug his fingers into the cracks in the ground. “They ate the ones from Lab No. 3.”
Before he could finish his words, the whole building suddenly sank half a meter vertically, and spider-web-like cracks appeared in the load-bearing walls.
Su Wanqing dragged Lin Che towards the safe passage and heard the crisp sound of human bones being chewed downstairs.
The boy lay on her back, panting, his hot breath spraying on her neck: "There is a backup generator in the basement."
Su Wanqing pressed the new skin on the back of his neck with her backhand, which now felt like a cooling steel ingot.
When the prompt box of [Supernatural Power Guidance Completed] jumped on her retina, she suddenly laughed: "You smell like a moldy lemon pie now."
Before Lin Che could react, she was thrown towards the shaky fire door.
Su Wanqing watched the young man break open the door like a sack, and immediately the landlord's screams and the excited howls of wild dogs were heard downstairs.
She stood at the corner of the stairs and lit a block of alcohol. The flames reflected the splattered blood on the wall.
"It's time to pay the rent, Mr. Landlord."
