Chapter 86
After multiple authentications, the door to a secret room in Aurora Church opened.
Claire walked silently in front to lead the way for Chen Xing.
After passing two corners and three passages, Chen Xing saw Xiao Hehua.
With eyes closed, lying in a vacuum coffin.
Motionless.
Xiao Hehua's appearance did not change, his eyes were closed quietly, as if he was asleep.
"When the zombie virus appeared, it was a critical period for drug development," Claire said slowly, her voice hoarse. "The dean couldn't escape, so he had to have North take you to the temporary base while I continued to work with the dean on the drug."
"During that time, the dean worked day and night until I realized something was wrong with North. The dean asked me to rescue you and take you to a safe zone. She stayed alone in the laboratory."
"When I found you, the zombie virus had fully broken out. East District 1 fell first, and the research institute was surrounded by zombies. At that time, no one could enter the 621 Biomedical Research Institute, and you were sleeping in a giant cocoon."
"It wasn't until I awakened my powers that I was able to lead people into the institute. I wanted to rescue the dean and have her wake you from your cocoon. When I arrived, the dean was collapsed in the laboratory."
Claire paused, then continued, "It's caused by excessive fatigue leading to arteriosclerosis and organ failure..."
"She actually had some symptoms before, but she was taking nutritional supplements to keep it going... No one noticed..."
"She cares more about the experiment than herself..."
"Oh." Chen Xing responded briefly.
The secret room fell into silence.
In a place invisible to Claire's naked eyes, Chen Xing's consciousness tentacles slowly wrapped around the vacuum chamber, and the tips of the tentacles stopped on Xiao Hehua's face.
Chen Xing suddenly felt a little sad, just like when she was five years old and Xiao Hehua denied being her mother... a little sad...
So she went to East District 1.
…
East District 1, 621 Pharmacognosy Research Institute.
On the 17th floor of the research institute, wind and snow were rushing in through the blown-open French windows, and the papers, medicine bottles, etc. inside were blown all over the air and the ground.
Chen Xing found a jar of sugar in the bombed-out laboratory.
The low-temperature storage jar containing the candy was placed in the corner under the drawer of the desk. Even though half of the desk was blown off, the candy jar was still well preserved.
That was the candy Xiao Hehua always fed her after drawing blood.
She had known for a long time that Xiao Hehua put the candy jar here, and she would never take it herself because she knew that these candies were hers and Xiao Hehua would give them to her.
Biting the candy, she looked up and saw the chair next to the desk with a broken corner. She didn't know what she was thinking, but her consciousness tentacles brushed away the broken glass on the chair. She sat quietly on the chair, with the wind and snow falling all over her body.
Chen Xing sat aimlessly, his consciousness radiating outwards and wandering around Xiao Hehua's office.
She saw the little doll on the desk.
It was her initial work when she had just learned how to make a bionic man. It couldn't be called a bionic man, it was just a doll, the size of a palm, and very crude.
Chen Xing tapped with his fingertips, transferring some consciousness into the doll's body, and the doll began to walk unsteadily on the table. Its posture was a little stiff at first, but then it could walk smoothly.
The doll's arms hugged Chen Xing's fingers, but Chen Xing didn't move.
Too lazy to move.
Later, her consciousness saw more things in the office.
The jewelry in the ashes is a classic model designed and released by her and Tang Mary, and each one has its own.
——"Tang Jewelry will release a very beautiful necklace tomorrow. Can I save one for you?"
— “I don’t wear these.”
--"All right……"
The children's toys and adult toys that fell on the ground were all products released by Shirakawa under the brands of Yasei and M.
——"Where are the toys? Do you want any toys?"
——“I don’t need it.”
--"All right……"
On the cabinet is a Storm Bottle with large crystals...
The tentacles brought the storm bottle to Chen Xing, who reached out to take it. White crystals sank to the bottom of the bottle like snowflakes. With a shake, the crystals scattered in the solution, reflected in Chen Xing's clear black eyes, as if it had snowed.
——"What does the sinking star mean?"
——“It’s snow.”
Why is it snow?
She put the storm bottle on the table, thinking it was boring. No one would come to draw her blood every week, and no one would answer her questions.
There is only one candy left in the jar.
Chen Xing thought about it and ate the last one.
Left the 17th floor with the empty can.
…
In the shopping mall in East District 1, Chen Xing was looking for candy on the supermarket shelves with a jar in his hand.
But I didn't find it.
All the food in the supermarket was looted.
Not to mention candy, even a grain of rice is a rare thing.
Chen Xing looked around and confirmed that it was not there, so he walked out of the mall and prepared to go to another supermarket to look again.
As soon as she lifted her foot, she put it down, tilted her head to the left, turned around and ran in that direction.
…
On the snowy street, three people in blue and black combat uniforms were surrounding two zombies with special abilities.
"Zhou Yu, stop it from moving!" a woman shouted.
Then a man's voice rang out: "I'm not its father, does it listen to me?"
"I'll do it!"
Another person's voice sounded, and a wooden vine quickly attacked and tied the two mutant zombies together. The vine was extremely tough, and the mutant zombies' flames couldn't burn it.
Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation and added four steel rods to lift up the struggling mutant zombie.
Song Yan flashed in front of the mutant zombies and stuffed a special grenade into the mouths of each zombie.
"run!"
Three, two, one.
The two grenades exploded almost at the same time.
The mutant zombie roared and fell to the ground.
"Zhou Yu, look at Brother Liang! He's so awesome!"
"Song Yan, you're finished!" Zhou Yu clenched his fists.
"Who's finished?" Song Yan raised his voice.
"Don't make any noise, get the crystal core first, and then we'll fight again when we get back."
Zhou Yu and Song Yan glared at each other. Before they could finish their threats, Zhu Liang suddenly flew into the air.
The three people's expressions suddenly changed, and Zhou Yu and Song Yan shouted loudly: "Brother Liang!"
It seemed as if an invisible hand in the air grabbed Zhu Liang and carried him down rapidly!
Song Yan and Zhou Yu quickly ran towards Zhu Liang. Song Yan touched the communicator in his ear and said quickly, "Team Leader! District 1, West Fourth Street, Brother Liang is in danger!"
Fortunately, Zhu Liang was not taken very far.
When Zhou Yu and Song Yan arrived, Zhu Liang was pressed against the wall by a tall woman, who was gesturing at his neck with a knife in her hand.
"stop!"
Zhou Yu roared and hit the woman with the steel rod in an attempt to stop her, but the steel rod stopped a few centimeters away from the woman, as if blocked by an invisible wall.
The steel rod fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Zhou Yu looked at the woman in shock. Who is this person?
Chen Xing put the knife in his hand against Zhu Liang's neck and cut him.
There is blood spilling.
Chen Xing sniffed the scent of blood and was very sure that this man had her blood in his body.
"Hey, you--" Chen Xing didn't finish her question. She sensed a dangerous aura and quickly turned around and punched the person who attacked her.
Most people would be knocked away by her punch, but...
The person who attacked her obviously did not have ordinary energy. The energy flows of the two collided and both took two steps back.
Chen Xing recognized the person.
It was the gray-eyed man who had attacked her three months ago.
But he seemed different from three months ago. No one knew what had happened to him. His hair had grown a little longer, his physique had shrunk a lot, and his face was noticeably thinner. His already deep facial features were now as sharp and clear as if carved by a knife. His lip line was cold and hard, his face was tense, and he exuded an indifferent, cold and silent aura.
Like an ice blade that has been sealed for a long time.
However, Chen Xing didn't care why this man became like this. He came at the right time because this man owed him a debt!
Her eyes are still not healed!
The two confronted each other for a few seconds, and Chen Xing's consciousness let go of Zhu Liang and turned around to fight with Lou Tiannan.
Zhou Yu and Song Yan quickly ran over and helped Zhu Liang up. The three of them looked at Lou Tiannan and Chen Xing fighting, and glanced at each other with worry in their eyes.
Neither Chen Xing nor Lou Tiannan used their special abilities, but the fight was still very noisy.
Huge amounts of energy accumulated in each of their attacks. The moment their fists and palms touched, they both knew how powerful each other's energy was, but neither of them backed down.
Even from more than ten meters away, Zhou Yu and others could feel the fluctuations of energy colliding with each other.
"Is it...her?" Zhou Yu asked uncertainly.
"Yes..." Song Yan answered affirmatively.
When Enigma broke out of its cocoon, they were only concerned about the team being knocked against the high wall. When they came to their senses, the man had already entered the Aurora Church surrounded by Aurora believers.
They only saw the back of a woman with black hair and silver-white ends.
Just a back view can make them feel imposing.
They were only concerned about Zhu Liang's safety just now, but now they realized that Enigma, who had stayed in the church for three months, actually appeared here.
Chen Xing fought Lou Tiannan with full strength, and she believed that Lou Tiannan did the same.
At first, she fought for revenge, but as the fight went on, she felt that this man's skills were unexpectedly good and his reactions were very quick. Revenge was soon forgotten, and what followed was the excitement of meeting an equally powerful opponent.
Lou Tiannan and Chen Xing became more and more dazed as they fought... The moves of the woman in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity.
The attack was fierce, using palms instead of fists, and there was excitement in the eyes...
At that moment, he seemed to be back to that night in the underground training ground of the Border Building, when he had a fight with Lin Bai.
Perhaps it was because they were too similar, the fist that was supposed to hit Chen Xing in the face stopped at the last moment, but Chen Xing did not retract the palm knife that was about to chop off his neck.
Bang!
Lou Tiannan was knocked to the ground. Chen Xing's consciousness held him back. She approached him questioningly, "What were you thinking about?"
Lou Tiannan looked at her without saying anything, his gray eyes under his eyelashes looking at her coldly.
Snap!
Black flames attacked from behind Chen Xing. Chen Xing released his consciousness tentacles and dodged the black flames.
"Despicable sneak attacker." Chen Xing's dark eyes sank.
Chen Xing raised her fist to hit again. When Lou Tiannan passed by sideways, the two black blades on his waist caught her attention.
Why do these knives look so familiar?
Chen Xing released his consciousness tentacles, trying to take the knife from Lou Tiannan.
But as Lou Tiannan was a 3S-level psychic, it was obviously not so easy for Chen Xing to get the knife at his waist.
"Hey, where did you get those two knives on your waist?" Chen Xing asked him.
Lou Tiannan did not reply to Chen Xing. He raised his palm and several black flames blocked Chen Xing. He made a gesture to Zhou Yu and others, and the four of them quickly retreated.
Chen Xing wanted to chase after him, but she noticed a candy dropped on the ground.
It was the kind of candy she was looking for.
She glanced at the deserted street and picked up the candy.
