Chapter 022
Yan Yihu came to her senses, and without caring, she reached out and pulled Su Xiaole onto her Yahoo, while Meng Shubiao quickly rolled on the spot and landed on the back seat of You Shaoliang's car. The two Yahoos were full of energy and flew away in an instant!
The monster just stood there obediently. It looked at the baby who wanted to chase it, and suddenly opened its mouth and let out a roar.
Although the baby was just born, its basic fear instinct made it stop. It was observing the monster opposite and suddenly opened its mouth to cry. The sound waves were strong, but it was weak inside and it was obviously a test.
The monster was furious. It jumped up and swooped down, carrying the baby directly back to the mall!
In fact, although the level of this baby is S-level, its strength is far from reaching the strength of S-level. First of all, it is still very weak when it is born. Secondly, it is a human-born alien, and there is still a big gap compared to the real baby from another world.
But even if it was a young baby, Meng Shubiao and his two men from the Earth Realm could not defeat him.
The three people who escaped parked their Yacht on the overpass. The view here was clear and there were no roads in front or behind. Unless there were Emerald Birds attacking, this would be a relatively safe place in the city.
"Le Le," Yan Yihu got off the Yahoo and looked at Su Xiaole seriously, "What's wrong with that monster? Did you buy it from Rudang Auction House? Was it tamed by Rudang Auction House? That's why it listens to you?"
You Shaoliang set the Yacht to automatic cruise mode, then stood at the edge of the overpass with a somewhat gloomy look on his face.
Although Ah Hu still had fantasies about the young man in front of him, You Shaoliang knew that the person in front of him was not that simple at all. Although he did not have the smell of a monster, he was very special every time he appeared.
It's more accurate to say that the monster obeyed Su Xiaole out of fear and rank oppression rather than being tamed.
The monster was now wearing too many clothes, and You Shaoliang couldn't see its appearance clearly, so he wasn't sure if this monster was the one they had seen in the hospital. If so...
After listening to Yan Yihu's question, Su Xiaole blinked and thought for a while, "It's my pet. It doesn't eat or drink water, and it can even help me fight. Doesn't Ah Hu like it?"
"But it's very dangerous," Yan Yihu frowned, "Le Le, you can't take it into the safe zone, understand?"
"So, Ah Hu doesn't like my pet?" Su Xiaole's eyes turned red with sadness.
This time, Yan Yihu was not ambiguous. She shook her head firmly and said, "I don't like it!"
Meng Shubiao felt a little guilty watching from the side. After all, Lele seemed to be about to cry out of grievance. Although he also felt that what Ah Hu said was right, Lele was crying...
He scratched his head, rummaged through his backpack for a while, took out a piece of candy and handed it to Su Xiaole, "Here, this is your candy. When we first met, you seemed to like this flavor."
Su Xiaole obediently took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. When he tasted the sweet taste, his eyes immediately narrowed with happiness.
“You are such a nice person.”
"After you finish eating the candy, follow us back to the safe zone, okay?"
"Brother, have you completed your mission?" Su Xiaole asked naively.
"Well..."
"This candy tastes so familiar," Su Xiaole chewed and chewed, then raised his head and asked again, "Is this candy the medicine my brother found for Boss Mo?"
"Hey, hey, hey, it's been a long time since this happened! Please don't mention it! Boss Mo has forgotten about it, don't remind him!"
Su Xiaole tortured him twice in a row, almost making him crawl under the overpass in shame. But after all, she was a little cutie, and she probably didn't understand this!
Meng Shubiao, who had barely managed to comfort himself, stepped forward and carried Su Xiaole on his shoulders. In order to prevent Su Xiaole from saying anything shocking again, he instructed Yan Yihu, "Ah Hu, let A Liang lead you, I'll lead him, let's go back to the safe zone and shake them off!"
The protagonist's treatment is miserable enough. They were the ones who discovered the corpses, and then went back to the safe zone to harass others. They were also the ones who discovered the baby, and they still had to go back to the safe zone to harass others.
It was this group of people who discovered the crisis of the safety zone's collapse twice. Now, Sun Shang, the district chief of the Beijing North Safety Zone, was frightened and worried when he saw them.
The frequency of encountering strange beasts is comparable to that of their entire northern Beijing district reconnaissance team.
The speed of the Yacht was very fast, flying close to the ground very steadily. Meng Shubiao, who was riding the Yacht, was so excited that he quickly forgot about Su Xiaole's soul-searching.
But would Su Xiaole let him forget so easily?
No, it's double the commission after all.
The energy spread silently, covering the surrounding area in an instant.
Meng Shubiao suddenly saw a deep pit on the road ahead. He screamed and stopped the motorcycle sideways, just at the edge of the pit.
"What happened?"
Not long after Yan Yihu asked the question, they saw the deep pit in front of them.
You Shaoliang, who was carrying Yan Yihu, braked suddenly and the two of them jumped off the Yacht quickly.
"Why is there a pothole here?" Even if the Yacht can fly close to the ground, it still needs the support of the road.
The cry of the Emerald Bird was circling in the sky. Meng Shubiao looked up at the sky with disgust and guessed, "Is there a rotting corpse down there?"
If it is not a rotten corpse, it will not attract the attention of the King Kong Bird. The King Kong Bird is easy to deal with. Unless it is seriously injured, it will not easily attack humans.
"Let's take a detour," Yan Yihu said calmly, "It should be that another organization encountered a monster here, and this deep pit was left behind after the battle."
Meng Shubiao pulled up the map on Yahoo and observed the surrounding terrain. "The surrounding area has been marked as a red zone by the reconnaissance team. It's too dangerous. Let's find a relatively safe place in the ruins to settle down first, and then find a way to go back tomorrow."
The Red Zone is an area in the ruins where there are a lot of alien beasts, and they have even formed their own level ranking. The reconnaissance team does not have the extra manpower to clean up these places, so they can only temporarily mark these places as Red Zones to remind hunters not to enter easily without being fully prepared.
They had wasted a lot of time on the way here, and after encountering the baby they were in a hurry to escape without taking a break. Now it was getting dark, and their physical strength was not in the best condition, so it was not wise to enter the red zone at this time.
After discussion, they decided to go back and find a place to rest.
As a result, I kept looking for...
"I heard that there were many factories producing hardware cables here before it became a ruin. Do you think that more than just the mall is selling that type of cable?"
Thus, the people who were originally looking for a camping site now had an additional task.
The sky gradually darkened, and the chattering of alien beasts could be heard all around. You Shaoliang frowned, "We can't look for it anymore."
"I didn't expect it to get dark so quickly," Yan Yihu also noticed the change in the sky, "Let's go back to the place we picked out before to rest, and then think of a way to go back when it's light tomorrow."
Su Xiaole, who had been following everyone obediently, said very little along the way. When he saw that they were going back to the place they had chosen before, he also followed them obediently.
This is the headquarters of a bank. Because the power system is damaged, the door of the vault can no longer be opened with a password. However, in order to increase the hope of survival for the hunters in the ruins, the Alliance government quickly announced the methods of opening the vault doors of all known banks with manual dials.
They soon arrived at the vault door, and You Shaoliang stepped forward to turn the manual dial. By this time, it was already completely dark, which made everyone feel a sense of urgency.
"Aliang, is it open?"
You Shaoliang said nothing, but his hands kept moving, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was serious.
Just when Meng Shubiao wanted to ask again, all the sounds around him seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of You Shaoliang spinning the roulette wheel behind him.
This sudden silence made people's hair stand on end. Meng Shubiao held the greedy wolf in his hand, and Yan Yihu also leaned forward to protect You Shaoliang.
Su Xiaole suddenly spoke up from behind the two of them, "It's chasing us."
"Who?" Meng Shubiao asked subconsciously.
"Baby." Su Xiaole replied.
Because of the level suppression, when the baby appeared, all the monsters around retreated, leaving only the baby, but it was also the most terrifying baby.
Meng Shubiao bit the tip of his tongue, trying to let go of his panic in the pain, but after seeing the dark shadow appearing in front of him, he realized that in the face of life and death, a little pain pressure would not work at all.
Outside the vault door, in the narrow passage, a small black shadow was hovering in a strange posture, half crawling, and the faint sound of a baby crying could be heard from the front.
After hearing the crying, You Shaoliang just paused for a moment, then spun the roulette wheel even faster, "30 seconds."
What can you do in 30 seconds?
A few breaths is not even enough time to pee.
But can they hold out for thirty seconds after the baby finds them?
29 seconds,
The mechanical locks of the roulette wheels clicked.
In the darkness, the baby raised his head, seemingly curious about the clicking sound of the wheel locks.
24 seconds,
The baby withdrew his gaze and focused on Meng Shubiao again.
Meng Shubiao: ????
20 seconds,
Yan Yihu's palms were sweating, but she didn't even dare to blink.
15 seconds,
The baby hadn't launched an attack yet, and Meng Shubiao couldn't help but glance back to see if You Shaoliang was about to open the safe door.
Just when Meng Shubiao was distracted, the baby opened his mouth and a shrill sound was projected back and forth in the narrow corridor. Meng Shubiao felt as if he was suddenly hit by a huge rock in the chest. A fishy and sweet taste surged up and his eyes went dark.
However, at the critical moment, Yan Yihu had her ears covered by Su Xiaole who suddenly appeared in front of her. As the sound wave came, Su Xiaole's face turned pale, and the purple crystal on his forehead suddenly shone brightly. A beam of light descended, protecting everyone in the middle.
"Curtain device?"
9 seconds,
"It's not a curtain weapon!"
5 seconds,
The attack came again, and the amethyst on Su Xiaole's forehead shattered suddenly. Yan Yihu felt bad, and the next second she lost her strength due to the fatal sonic attack.
3 seconds,
"Prepare!"
You Shaoliang's face flushed with anxiety. The baby's attacks were blocked twice by his companions. Even without looking back, he knew that his companions must be at the end of their strength at this time.
Hearing You Shaoliang's voice, Meng Shubiao was delighted and subconsciously grabbed the hands of Yan Yihu and Su Xiaole.
With a click, there was the sound of the wheel lock turning, and the safe door behind him slowly opened. The baby in front of him was furious because his two attacks had failed. He clung to the wall with his hands like a monkey, jumped forward and attacked.
1 second,
"Walk!"
Meng Shubiao suddenly exerted force, pulling Yan Yihu and Su Xiaole and trying to leave, but the baby was too fast and fell behind everyone in the blink of an eye!
Meng Shubiao, who was holding Yan Yihu, felt his hands empty. He turned around in shock and said, "Ah Hu!"
The greedy wolf recharged instantly, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a familiar force kicking him into the vault. The next second, the vault door slammed shut, and the moment it closed, You Shaoliang and Yan Yihu were thrown in from outside!
"Ah Hu?" Meng Shubiao struggled to crawl over. Everything happened too fast. Now Meng Shubiao was scared and didn't know what happened.
"LeLe, it's LeLe, A-liang, open the vault door, LeLe is outside!"
You Shaoliang went to open the door of the safe without saying a word, but when he put his hand on the roulette wheel and tried hard, he found that someone had blocked it from the outside and he couldn't open it at all from inside!
Inside the vault, Yan Yihu kicked the door hard a few times. Seeing that the door didn't budge at all, she burst into tears.
"It was the baby who grabbed me just now, and Lele dragged me out to save me," Yan Yihu tried to turn the turntable, but the more he turned, the more desperate he felt. "Mengzi, Lele will be fine, right?"
Meng Shubiao's face was unusually gloomy. He raised his gun and said, "Ah Hu, get out of the way. I'm going to blow up the roulette wheel."
"It's useless," You Shaoliang said. "Blowing up the roulette wheel will only open the inner lock, but the vault door has several layers of mechanisms. Once the roulette wheel is destroyed, we really can't get out."
"Damn it!" Hearing this, Meng Shubiao put the greedy wolf behind him, stepped forward and turned it with all his strength. But he didn't know if it was his illusion, he actually felt the roulette wheel move just now?
Su Xiaole clapped his hands outside the door, and all the illusions disappeared, and there was bright daylight outside.
The baby in front of him was being held by the monster's neck, with his limbs curled up obediently, not showing any signs of the monster's fierce and aggressive behavior just now.
Su Xiaole took off the amethyst on his forehead. Was there a single crack on it?
However, since I have given Yan Yihu the illusion, the system can no longer appear in the form of an ornament. I put the amethyst on my wrist and a brand new chain appeared.
The safe is fireproof, theft-proof, soundproof and moisture-proof, so Su Xiaole couldn't hear anything going on inside.
Correspondingly, the sound from outside cannot be received inside.
He casually fastened the wheel lock with the gold bar that fell on the ground. After all, gold is soft. With the strength of those people inside, it is estimated that breaking the door is a matter of time. Otherwise, the protagonist team will starve to death in the vault. At the end of the play, there is no way he can get his power back.
After doing all this, Su Xiaole finally had time to observe the baby in front of him.
It has pitch-black skin, just like its pregnant mother, except that it has sharp teeth that are sharp and dense, and the baby's hands are actually webbed.
This is a baby, but it is not a baby.
After Su Xiaole let the monster take the baby out to see the world, he planned to return to the safe base to find someone to inquire about the baby's intelligence.
After all, the comics haven't been updated there yet, so it wouldn't be of much use even if he went back to read them.
The space rotated, Mo Huailan turned the wheelchair and appeared in the Rudang auction house.
Song Huixiang was counting the items to be auctioned tomorrow. Upon hearing the news, he hurried over with his people.
"Boss, all the auction brochures for today have been sent out. Would you like to see the list?"
Mo Huailan did not take the list. He looked at the whip in his hand tenderly. The wheelchair moved forward slowly. He asked slowly, "Is our President Guo on it?"
"This...there is nothing in the auction that President Guo is interested in, so we didn't invite him."
How could they dare to invite someone like Guo Fengshi casually?
The wheelchair stopped, and Mo Huailan's whip moved slightly in his hand. The smile on his face became increasingly dangerous. "Something you're not interested in?"
Song Huixiang followed behind reluctantly and answered "yes" reluctantly, but the image of the tragic death of the emerald bird quickly flashed through his mind and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Boss, I'll go give President Guo an invitation and deliver it in person!"
After inserting the whip into the armrest of the wheelchair, Mo Huailan sneered, "Manager Song, do you mean that we still want Guo Hui to come even if there are no items to be auctioned? Haha, where is the invitation letter?"
The auction house has prepared beautifully crafted blank invitations. When you invite a dignitary, you can just write your name by hand to show your sincerity.
Song Huixiang, "I'll fill in Guo Hui's name right away. Boss, please wait a moment..."
"No need to fill it out, I'll send it over directly."
Since there are no items that the other party is interested in, will he definitely come if we send him an invitation letter?
He saved the trouble of filling out the form and went there in person. Anyway, his purpose was not to get Guo Fengshi to participate in the auction.
Song Huixiang, who was confused by his boss's actions, quickly sent over the blank invitation letter, found a car and watched his boss leave.
People were coming and going in the Mission Union, and the sculptures in the square reflected the sunlight.
The car stopped and the wheelchair was taken down. Mo Huailan played with the invitation letter and went upstairs from the elevator next to him without asking anyone to help him.
Secretary Chen was immersed in the ocean of work and couldn't extricate himself. When he saw Boss Mo under his exhausted brow, he quickly stood up.
"Boss Mo?"
Mo Huailan handed over the invitation letter in his hand without much sincerity, "This is a gift from the auction house to Guo Hui. You can definitely get in now, right?"
Why does it make my scalp tingle when I hear such a normal tone of voice?
Secretary Chen forced a smile and extended his hand to lead the way inside, "Boss Mo, come this way. I'll go inform Guo Hui."
Hearing the noise outside, Guo Fengshi opened the door of the office directly. He looked at Mo Huailan who was sitting in the wheelchair from a distance, gritted his teeth in pain, but immediately tensed his face.
"I am so touched by Mr. Mo's sincerity that he sent me an invitation despite his inconvenient legs and feet. However, I am busy recently and don't have time to go." After thinking for a while, Guo Fengshi felt that he had not finished speaking, so he continued, "I looked at the auction items announced by the auction house. I have everything you have, so I won't go."
"I want to exchange an invitation letter for a message from you. Do you want to exchange it?"
"ha?"
"This is a blank invitation letter. There is no name, date or venue filled in. If Guo falls into poverty someday, this invitation letter may be your life-saving straw."
In the whole of northern Beijing, there is probably no one else who dares to come up and mock him except Mo Huailan, who does things without any scruples.
The two entered the office. On Guo Fengshi's desk was a bowl of plain fried noodles, and it looked like he had already eaten more than half of it.
"You can tell me what you want to hear, but I'm not necessarily willing to tell you," Guo Fengshi said calmly as he swept the remaining fried noodles into the trash can. "After all, I don't think I'll be in the same boat as you. After all, my background is stronger than yours."
"What does the official record of a baby look like?" Mo Huailan asked directly.
"Baby, did you encounter a baby monster?" Guo Fengshi said seriously. He sat down and turned on his computer, looking it up from the local files. "If it appeared in the Beijing North Annex, I will find my bodyguard to escort me out of here as soon as possible."
Soon, Guo Fengshi found the information he wanted, "Did you bring your terminal?"
The world of aliens has an end, but because of the high energy consumption and the fact that people can usually communicate with it through the task cards of the task union, most people will not choose to carry it with them.
But Mo Huailan was obviously not afraid of wasting energy. He turned on the receiver at the terminal and raised his hand to signal.
Soon, he received a file, but it was not large.
When he opened it, he saw a picture. The baby looked different from what everyone imagined. The baby looked more like an ape than a human, and it had white fur and red claws.
"This was taken by the combat team at the risk of their lives. As for the baby's strength, it was later estimated by experts based on the soldiers' oral statements. It's actually not very accurate. It can be said that we know nothing about it. Have you seen the baby?" Guo Fengshi sat over and asked Mo Huailan who was looking at the photo carefully.
"I haven't seen it before," Mo Huailan turned off the terminal, turned around and prepared to leave without saying a word, "No need to see me off."
"Wait, you haven't told me why you asked about the baby. People like you always have a purpose for everything you do. You suddenly came to me to ask for the baby's information, and you dare to tell me that you just wanted to take a look?"
Mo Huailan was about to leave, but Guo Fengshi was reluctant to let her go. He stood in front of Mo Huailan's wheelchair, holding her back and talking a lot.
"Just to take a look, do I need your approval?"
Seeing Guo Fengshi blocking the way, Mo Huailan smiled impatiently. He looked up at Guo Fengshi and said, "I heard that your bodyguards will be by your side ready to protect you at any time. Are they here now?"
"Of course." Guo Fengshi answered subconsciously.
"That's good..." Mo Huailan was smiling the previous second, and his expression suddenly changed the next second. The whip in the armrest was pulled out, and it came almost instantly like lightning, and with a snap, it hit Guo Fengshi's waist!
Amid Guo Fengshi's screams, Mo Huailan calmly turned the wheelchair and left, "Forgot to say, I hate people blocking my way."
The bodyguard rushed out from the darkness, trying to stop Mo Huailan who hadn't walked far yet. Behind him was Guo Fengshi's painful voice, "Don't provoke him!"
"Guo Hui, how are you?"
Guo Fengshi held his waist and stood up with a cold sweat on his face. His whole body felt like it was being eaten by ants. Even though he was numb, he still felt severe pain. "The whip in his hand is not an ordinary whip. Check, who is he!"
Mo Huailan walked away without caring whether he had offended anyone, but it was obvious that he had his own things to do, so he beat up the other person's president in the previous second, and posted the task he needed on the Task Union in the next second.
A hunter passed by below and saw the light screen above his head, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Looking for clues about a baby? Am I sick or is the person who issued the mission sick?"
"The person who issued the mission is Mo Huailan, the owner of Rudang Auction House."
"Oh, it seems I am sick."
Because the rewards for the baby mission were generous, all the hunters who saw it would stop to discuss it. However, after seeing the baby, it was estimated that only a few people would survive, so no one would take the mission.
Mo Huailan, who had taken on the mission, did not wait anxiously for the person to take up the mission. He went to the Mission Union to hire a team himself, and planned to check out the place where the protagonist was trapped first. After all, if the protagonist was too useless and did not come out in the end and starved himself to death, this could be regarded as the comic with the worst ending in history.
By the way, he also needs to consolidate the identities of Su Xiaole and Mo Huailan.
Only when he has consolidated his powers, can he do something later that others can understand and feel sorry for him.
But before they reached the vault, they saw the protagonist and his group running out of the vault in a panic. Even though they were not in good condition, they seemed to have no missing limbs, so they were okay.
The 3rd and 4th are updated at midnight, and the 5th is updated at 23:00, in order to move up one position on the clip~
