Chapter 11: Escape is the most important thing
Chapter 11
Si Shen picked up his phone, pondered over his words, and got out of bed with Nian Chengxiao.
He just came here to observe the situation below, not to really stay here.
Now that he has understood the situation here, he has to leave quickly, otherwise he will help the puppeteer become famous.
"You also feel that something is wrong here, right?" Duan Cang said for no reason.
The examiner stopped editing the text message and looked up at the person.
"What's wrong?" Si Shen Siwei was not online yet.
Duan Cang looked at the confused judge, pointed at the people below, and then raised his hand and pointed at the century-old banyan tree standing not far away.
"The person down there isn't right, and the tree isn't right either."
Now Si Shen knew what Duan Cang was going to say, and he was a little surprised.
This person is so perceptive that he can actually detect the existence of alien species.
Even though he didn't know about the alien species, he still felt there was something wrong.
Such a person will definitely be a big boss in the end times unless something unexpected happens.
"Hello, I'm the judge. Is there any connection between that tree and the corpse you saw in the police station?" The judge immediately made the connection.
"Dankura, I found six bodies in that tree two weeks ago."
"Corpse?" The judge looked out the window.
The banyan tree swayed in the wind, its branches lush and green, and there was no sign of a corpse at all.
"The six corpses are of different ages, including old people, children, and a dog." Duan Cang said concisely.
The judge was not surprised at all when he heard Duan Cang's words.
As long as the alien species has blood food, they will not let it go. In their eyes, there is no difference between dogs and humans.
Therefore, the presence of a dog further proves that this is an alien species that has entered the developmental stage.
Duan Cang looked at Si Shen, but he didn't expect that the content he thought was very explosive did not arouse the other party's interest at all.
Sure enough, he knew something.
"Do you know anything? Why is the person below repeating the same action like this?" Duan Cang couldn't help but ask.
He looked at the judge with longing eyes, he really wanted to know the answer.
After discovering the body, he chose to call the police directly.
But the police were perfunctory at first, and only went to take a quick look after he repeatedly pressed them.
It was his imagination to say that they went there but didn't see the body.
But he clearly saw a corpse. He had seen many dead people in the team before, so he could say with certainty that it must be a human.
He went to the scene again himself and found that the body was indeed gone.
Duan Cang was very confident in himself. He thought the murderer had hidden the body.
He planned to look for it himself and then call the police.
But no matter how hard he looked, there was no trace.
To climb such a tall tree, tools must be needed, but there are no traces of tools on the bark.
This discovery made him doubt himself, but this doubt was resolved at night.
Some criminals like to return to their crime scenes a second time, so he wanted to try and see if he could spot anyone suspicious.
As a result, he saw a scene that shook his materialism!
The corpses suddenly appeared in the same place as before, like dried sausages.
Although the scene was strange, it did not hinder Duan Cang's hand.
He took out his mobile phone, recorded the entire video, and then hurried away to call the police.
This time the police were very quick, but when they arrived, the body was gone again!
So the police thought Duan Cang was directing and acting this out himself, so they issued a warning.
This time Duan Cang also came to the scene, and there was nothing on the tree.
If it weren't for the video in Duan Cang's hand, he would also think that he was directing and acting in the film himself.
When it comes to editing, he is like an old man playing with a smartphone.
Duan Cang has no other advantages except persistence!
Even though this matter continues to challenge his beliefs that he has held for many years, he will not give up.
After a few days of hard work, he discovered the pattern.
The corpses would only appear on moonlit nights, and the duration of their appearance was irregular.
Duan Cang told Si Shen about his discoveries of the past few days. He had told others about it in the past two weeks.
But no one recognized him, instead they thought he was mentally ill.
But the judge is different. He is always observing the people below.
The people below were as strange as the corpse he had discovered.
So driven by the suppressed emotions of these days, he shared all his findings.
He tried to find a partner, and Si Shen was the best partner at the moment.
The judge fell into deep thought after listening to Duan Cang's words.
What exactly is this substance that causes biological mutations, and when did it appear in this world?
According to Duan Cang, the end of the world had actually arrived quietly two weeks ago.
It’s a pity that no one has discovered it, no, the research institute has already discovered it.
But their strength was not enough to resist, so on July 15th, the alien species broke out completely.
As for when this alien species first appeared, perhaps only the research institute knows.
The judge looked at the man with longing eyes and thought for a moment.
"This may be an anomaly caused by alien species." The judge avoided some sensitive points and spoke briefly.
Duan Cang listened to Si Shen's words and thought, "Alien species..."
In less than a month, the end of the world will come, and alien species will be everywhere in the sky.
So it doesn’t matter if you tell Duan Cang these things, and Duan Cang himself has also encountered alien species.
As for whether Duan Cang believed it or not, that was not something the judge needed to think about.
He was about to take Niancheng Owl away now, and he didn't care whether Duan Cang believed it or not.
Out of humanitarianism, the judge still asked a question.
"Brother Duan, when are you leaving?"
Duan Cang looked at Si Shen and said, "Leave. Are you leaving City B now?"
The judge nodded seriously, "Yes, we should leave now while the alien species hasn't developed yet. If we get targeted, we won't be able to leave."
Duan Cang hesitated, "What about the people in City B? Wouldn't it be dangerous for them to live with this dangerous alien species?"
Si Shen suddenly realized, "But we can only save ourselves. If you tell anyone about this alien species, will anyone believe you?"
He asked why he had never seen a character named Duan Cang in the novel.
Being able to detect alien species before the apocalypse breaks out, this keen perception cannot remain unknown in the apocalypse.
But it would be different if this was a really good person. A good person who always thinks about saving people will not live long.
In the last days, only selfishness can help you survive.
Good people don't live long.
Because good people don't necessarily get good rewards, and the people you save aren't necessarily human beings, and backstabbing is all too common.
Duan Cang thought calmly. He knew how powerful the alien species was from Si Shen's explanation, but he couldn't just leave like that.
Whether it was his nature or the result of acquired training, this behavior was really hard for him to accept.
After much thought, he decided to stay.
"Then you should leave now. Like you said, if you are targeted by this alien, you may not be able to leave."
Duan Cang picked up Si Shen's backpack, handed it to him and sent him out.
Seeing that Duan Cang really didn't leave, the judge gave him the contact information of the research institute.
He himself could not be as great as Duan Cang, but he would not stop people like Duan Cang.
The people of this world and City B need Duan Cang, even if he can't play any role.
Si Shen took his things and left under Duan Cang's gaze. Duan Cang looked at the number in his hand, thought for a moment, and then sent the message.
He didn't know who Si Shen was. He not only knew about alien species, but also knew about the organization that eliminated alien species.
There was no need for him to delve into it, as everyone had their own secrets.
As for Si Shen's departure, just as Si Shen respected his staying in City B, he also respected Si Shen's departure.
The judge was in an extremely good mood because he didn't have to send messages to the research institute himself.
When I returned to the parking lot, I saw my RV.
Sitting in the driver's seat, I found a direction out of the city, started the car and started driving.
He didn't know about the existence of alien species before, and he dared to wander around here.
Now that he knew, he naturally left without stopping.
His life is precious. The Niancheng Owl has not yet regained consciousness. He cannot die like this.
The driver chose the highway exit closest to the south of the city and planned to drive all the way to City C on the highway.
Si Shen drove towards the highway exit. An hour later, he stopped the RV.
He looked at the gas station that appeared in front of him and took out the iron sword from his backpack.
There is no gas station on the highway south of the city.
Looking at the familiar layout of the gas station, this was the place where he first filled up his gas tank when he came to City B.
He looked at the navigation, and it didn't show that he had deviated from his course, but he still arrived at the gas station.
The gas station employee saw Si Shen's car and walked over with an expressionless face.
The judge looked at the person walking towards him step by step, holding the sword tightly in his hand.
The man's movements were strange, as if he had just adapted to this body, and his movements were as stiff as a puppet.
The alien's control deepened.
The judge watched the staff's actions and made his own judgment.
When he first arrived, the staff at the gas station were able to communicate with him and even give him recommendations.
But now, every move of this staff member is like a puppet, and a puppet that is not being controlled properly.
The joints are inflexible, the movements are slow, and sometimes they can even twist into shapes that humans cannot achieve.
It looks like a zombie attack, funny and weird.
The judge slowly drove back, and now he understood.
He might have been targeted when he entered City B.
Judging from the evolutionary strength of the puppeteer in the novel, this alien species swallowed up all the people in City B at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Only in this way can the magma species that naturally restrains it be beaten half to death, and then the protagonist group can take advantage of it.
Now he is the alien's meal, and it is impossible for it to watch the duck in its mouth fly away.
Si Shen looked at the huge banyan tree and decided to drive in the direction farthest from the south of the city and leave City B.
The puppeteer, this alien species, is a giant banyan tree.
City B is called Banyan City, and there are banyan trees everywhere.
But there was only one huge banyan tree, and Duan Cang also found the corpse on this tree.
The alien species in the early days of the apocalypse only have instincts, so the century-old banyan tree far away from the south of the city is the best choice.
We haven't completely entered the end of the world yet. Even if the puppeteer has developed early, he certainly doesn't have complete control over City B.
Therefore, the further away from the south of the city, the easier it will be to break through the encirclement of alien species.
After the judge figured it out, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and headed north, leaving only the exhaust fumes behind.
The person controlled by the alien twisted his movements on the spot.
Their vocal cords have atrophied and are no longer able to produce any sound.
Si Shen drove north. He was not familiar with City B, so he turned on the navigation.
There is no way, even if the navigation doesn't work, he needs this thing.
Otherwise he would be like a headless fly, unable to go anywhere.
In the hotel, Duan Cang sat by the window, staring at the people below in a daze.
Although he stayed, he didn't know what to do.
He had just sent his experiences of the past few days to the research institute.
The research institute might be very busy and did not reply to him.
He was not sure when he would get a reply from the institute, so he still needed to save himself.
According to the judge, this alien species is currently in its developmental stage.
If we don't kill the alien now, when it grows up, who knows how many people will die at its hands.
But how to kill this alien?
Duan Cang was watching the market and thinking about the problem.
Suddenly a familiar figure came into his sight. It was Si Shen.
Duan Cang immediately looked at the tall tree. Si Shen would not stay in City B. If he returned now, something must have happened.
Soon, Duan Cang saw the judge who returned empty-handed.
"The south of the city has been blocked by alien species." Si Shen brought the news.
He tried to drive away, but following the navigation system's guidance, he returned to the gas station several times.
The intention of not letting people leave is obvious.
With nowhere to go, the judge could only return to this hotel.
"Now if I want to get out, there is only one way, and that is to kill it." Si Shen said softly while looking at the banyan tree.
"How to kill?" Duan Cang asked.
This was the first time he encountered this alien species. Before today, he had no idea that alien species existed.
But Si Shen is different. He knows what aliens are and also knows the organizations that deal with aliens.
Maybe he also knows how to kill aliens.
Duan Cang looked at Si Shen with expectation in his eyes.
Si Shen thought for a moment and said, "I just heard that this alien species has an energy core. As long as we attack the energy core, we can kill the alien species."
"Is this alien species' energy core hard to find, or difficult to destroy, or both?" Duan Cang's mind raced.
"For alien species in the early and middle stages of development, their energy cores are not particularly condensed yet. It is relatively easy to destroy them, but their locations are difficult to find," Si Shen replied.
"We are not awakened and cannot sense the location of the energy core. It is difficult to kill this alien." Si Shen stated the current dilemma.
Duan Cang did not reply. The judge was telling the truth and he didn't know what else to say.
Si Shen didn't care about Duan Cang either. He was recalling the scene when the protagonist group captured the puppeteer.
A year later, he hardly remembered the contents of the book, but he vaguely remembered that the fighting scenes were huge.
In the end, it seemed that it was thanks to the protagonist's amazing perception that he was able to successfully defeat the puppeteer.
Si Shen pondered, he and Duan Cang had no special abilities at all, so how could they sense the energy core?
He had to think of another way, he had to kill this alien!
