120 Confrontation
◎Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?◎
Gulp--
The red oil hot pot was bubbling, and Li Nianchuan was eating his tripe while looking at their expressions.
Xu Meng just came out of the cleaning center today. She looked the same as before, eating her food in a lukewarm manner and not even making herself felt while eating.
Zhu Ning had lost his appetite and had barely touched his chopsticks. Li Nianchuan asked carefully, "Zhu Ning, don't you like hot pot?"
This is an internet-famous store, and Li Nianchuan had to pay extra for a scalper ticket to get in.
Zhu Ning sighed as he sniffed the red oil pan. "I used to like it, but now I'm done with it."
Li Nianchuan: “?”
Quit? Why?
Zhu Ning sighed again, looking reminiscent of the past: "I used to work as a cashier in a hot pot restaurant."
Hotpot restaurants are all similarly equipped. Zhu Ning sat by the pot to eat, surrounded by the bustling noise of people. For a moment, she felt that all the customers were contaminants, and the cash register was covered with fingers.
After working in a hot pot restaurant, she developed some conditioned reflexes, and now she can just jump into the kitchen to help serve the dishes for this restaurant.
Li Nianchuan has some stuff and is really good at choosing stores.
Li Nianchuan: "What little sister? You're still working part-time? Don't you have enough money? How about I lend you some?"
That's not right. Logically speaking, Zhu Ning should be richer than Li Nianchuan.
Zhu Ning looked at the tripe and couldn't even lift his chopsticks. He was a little uninterested. "I went on a mission before, and it was also an internet-famous hot pot restaurant."
She was clearly talking to Li Nianchuan, but this sentence was meant for Xu Meng.
Li Nianchuan listened for a long time without understanding, "When did you go?"
He counted on his fingers. Zhu Ning was a newcomer, so she'd only been on three missions, right? There wasn't a hot pot restaurant on any of those missions.
Xu Meng put down his chopsticks: "She should be talking about the grave post mission."
"Grave post?" Li Nianchuan exclaimed, "You actually managed to get a grave post!"
Li Nianchuan suddenly spoke a little too loudly. Fortunately, this was a hot pot restaurant, so the surrounding area was quite noisy. Zhu Ning said, "Keep your voice down, sir."
Li Nianchuan glanced around and lowered his voice, "Boss, you were chosen by Prometheus?"
Li Nianchuan once tried it at midnight, but his fingers were all broken and nothing could be brushed out. Later, he gave up completely.
Zhu Ning looked at Li Nianchuan deeply, and she suddenly understood a sentence: the more you know about the world, the more painful it is. How could Li Nianchuan live a happy life just because he is such a loser?
For a moment, she was a little envious of that kind of happiness, a kind of beauty that was not contaminated by the dirty world?
Zhu Ning deliberately brought the topic here and asked, "Where's the captain? Has the captain been able to find one?"
Li Nianchuan also looked over excitedly. Xu Meng kept looking into Zhu Ning's eyes while speaking: "I have seen it. I am a level 7 user."
They had an unfinished game at the card table before, and now their positions have not changed, as if the deserted village in the middle is just a pause button.
They returned to the table and began to show each other their cards.
Zhu Ning smiled back at her: "As expected of the captain, you're amazing."
She remembered that Bobcat was level 11. Xu Meng liked to keep a low profile, so she would definitely choose a middle value and maintain her level at the upper middle level, so as not to attract attention and unlock more tasks.
This is very similar to Xu Meng's style.
Li Nianchuan was stunned, then immediately understood. Xu Meng had obviously shown his superpowers when he was in the deserted village. The situation was dangerous at that time, so Li Nianchuan didn't ask any more questions.
Now he had the chance to ask, but Li Nianchuan didn't dare to ask. He first looked at Xu Meng and then at Zhu Ning.
Xu Meng is a person with supernatural powers. He probably hides his strength normally, like a sweeping monk living in seclusion in the city.
Xu Meng suddenly became mysterious in Li Nianchuan's mind.
Zhu Ning is the strongest newcomer this year, and no one stands out more than her. Not only did she do the work of a cleaner and a demon hunter, but this time when she went outside the wall, Zhu Ning proved that she is good enough even as an investigator outside the wall.
Li Nianchuan sighed. He seemed to understand why he had lived so long. It had nothing to do with his own strength.
There are two big guys in a garbage cleaning team, and he can survive only by relying on his teammates.
Li Nianchuan didn't even want to ask what happened to them, because he couldn't get involved, the only thing he could do was keep it secret.
How do you say it? This is life in a flat bed.
Zhu Ning: "If you're interested, I'll call you when I need to contain contaminated spores."
Li Nianchuan's eyes lit up, and he grasped Zhu Ning's hand: "Hello, Boss Zhu."
Zhu Ning was very pleased and immediately accepted him as his younger brother.
Xu Meng's eyes never left Zhu Ning. "I remember the mission at the hot pot restaurant. It was quite an interesting one."
Zhu Ning also looked back: "You are paying attention to such a small task? My level is not as high as yours. I am probably only level four now."
She hasn't logged into Tomb Post since she completed her last mission, so I don't know what level of user she is now.
Xu Meng asked with a smile, "Are you the sweetest girl in the universe?"
Zhu Ning was not at all ashamed of such a socially unacceptable nickname. He propped up his chin with one hand and asked, "Isn't it sweet?"
Zhu Ning's appearance was comfortable to begin with. As the steam from the hot pot restaurant rose up, she was holding her chin and smiling to herself.
She has an indescribable aura. Sometimes she smiles, but you always feel that she is dangerous.
Xu Meng said sincerely, "It's very sweet."
The last trump card was played, and Zhu Ning admitted that Cheng Mofei's bracelet was really in her hand. This was exactly what Xu Meng wanted.
Li Nianchuan was eating hot pot while listening to the conversation between the big guys, but he couldn't understand anything. Were they meeting in person online?
Li Nianchuan originally wanted to arrange other entertainment activities after eating hot pot, but Zhu Ning and Xu Meng refused, saying that they wanted to take a walk to digest the food and talk about some topics between sisters, which Li Nianchuan would not be able to participate in.
Li Nianchuan thought, you two haven’t eaten, how can you digest the food?
Before leaving, Zhu Ning and Xu Meng formally wished Li Nianchuan a successful opening of his store and said they wished him to realize his dream.
Li Nianchuan was still wondering where Zhu Ning and Xu Meng were going for a walk, but when he heard this, he smiled so much that his mouth almost reached his ears, and he didn't stop smiling even on the way home.
This is the blessing from the bosses!
…
Zhu Ning and Xu Meng watched Li Nianchuan get into the car.
"Do you think he can succeed in opening a store?" Zhu Ning asked lazily.
Xu Meng: "I think he might be more successful if he stays away from us."
Zhu Ning chuckled. If it was just a simple cleaning team, they probably wouldn't be assigned these bizarre tasks.
After she finished laughing, she found that Xu Meng had a blank expression on her face. After Li Nianchuan left, Xu Meng didn't even pretend. Now they were both enemies and friends. It was hard to say who was more of an enemy or a friend.
Xu Meng said she wanted to take a walk with Zhu Ning. She was obviously more familiar with Area 103. She walked in front and Zhu Ning followed behind, not minding at all where Xu Meng took her.
Xu Meng chatted with her: "Are you going to accept any more tomb invitations next?"
Zhu Ning: "Yes, I'll go home and watch it later. I'm not full."
Zhu Ning was really not full. She found that she could not feel full after eating. Ever since the black mucus started to parasitize on her body, her food source became a source of pollution.
She was hungry again.
After dealing with Xu Meng's problem, she might enter a contaminated area and find something to eat first.
Xu Meng frowned. What did Zhu Ning mean? She could devour?
As far as Xu Meng knew, Zhu Ning's ability was metal manipulation, but it was possible that it was not this at all. Metal manipulation could not kill the queen insect at all.
Zhu Ning was indeed more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
The road they walked to became more and more remote, with fewer and fewer people on it. There were not even any street lights, and the only lighting source was the high-speed light in the sky.
There are a bunch of unfinished buildings here. The developers ran away when the houses were half built, leaving only the skeleton of the building.
An orange-yellow cordon was set up at the entrance, and a warning sign was written inside the passage: Federal Warning: Severe pollution inside, no entry allowed.
But there were still a lot of graffiti on the walls, and someone had written on them in a vent of anger: Go to hell! Go to hell, world!
Some people even splashed red paint: Give me back my hard-earned money!
Zhu Ning's forehead twitched. This place must have experienced a lot of history.
It was clearly an abandoned unfinished building, but Xu Meng felt like he was back home. He lifted the cordon at the door and led Zhu Ning up step by step.
There is a high-speed belt in the air for freight transportation. It is not equipped with a silent system, and the train makes a rumbling sound when passing by.
Xu Meng stopped. This was the 25th floor.
The unfinished building has no doors or windows. If Xu Meng wants to kill someone, he can just push her down from here. It's very convenient.
There is absolutely no surveillance in this place. Is this where Xu Meng wants to deal with himself?
Xu Meng threw out two sharp knives from behind. These were also Xu Meng's weapons. Zhu Ning had tried them before, but they were not made of metal, so metal manipulation was completely useless.
Xu Meng got straight to the point: "Is Cheng Mofei's bracelet on you?"
Zhu Ning's voice sounded very calm: "I always carry it with me."
If Xu Meng is in combat mode, then Zhu Ning is just taking a walk. She is too relaxed, which makes people worry whether she has any backup plan.
Xu Meng: "Are you going to hand it over yourself or do you want me to snatch it away?"
This matter should have been handled by Bobcat, but Xu Meng, considering his friendship with Zhu Ning, might be able to allow Zhu Ning to exit peacefully.
Zhu Ning: "Still the same conditions as before. I want to see the contents of the bracelet."
She suspected that Xu Meng and Shanmao were in cahoots, so she repeated her conditions.
This was a condition that Xu Meng would never accept. There was no need for more people to know about this mission.
Her intuition told her that Zhu Ning was very dangerous, and now Zhu Ning was Huo Wenxi's man, which directly cut off Xu Meng's possibility of winning over Zhu Ning. She couldn't compete with the leader of the investigation team for him.
The mission lasted nine years and too many people had died. They couldn't withstand any more hardship.
Yongsheng Pharmaceutical is hunting down Zhu Ning, and Huo Wenxi is protecting Zhu Ning. She completed the deserted village mission in a very mysterious way. So far, no one knows how she did it. She is a dangerous person no matter how you look at her.
If you want to choose someone to cooperate with, Zhu Ning is definitely not a good partner.
Xu Meng: "I don't agree."
Zhu Ning was a little disappointed. If no one gave in, they would have to fight for it in the next life.
She had originally thought that she could resolve the issue through the art of language, but now it seemed there was no chance.
Zhu Ning asked, "Are you from the Cheetah Team?"
Zhu Ning used an affirmative sentence, she was sure that Xu Meng was definitely from the Cheetah team.
Xu Meng frowned. If Zhu Ning's previous words only made her unhappy, now he was almost madly testing the edge of Xu Meng's patience.
Zhu Ning knew the Cheetahs, and she might have seen the bracelet.
Xu Meng didn't answer the question, but only said: "This is your last chance."
As long as Zhu Ning lets go now, it's still not too late.
Zhu Ning was very assertive: "I want to see the content of the bracelet."
Xu Meng attacked without saying a word. Zhu Ning had only seen Xu Meng use a knife last time, but he must have wanted to hide his strength at that time, and Zhu Ning didn't see it clearly.
This time she could see it clearly. The long knife was cutting towards her. Zhu Ning could instantly feel the pressure coming towards her and could even hear the buzzing sound of the knife.
At that moment, Zhu Ning's instinctive reaction was to block. A steel bar suddenly appeared in his hand. There was a lot of discarded metal in the unfinished building, and the steel bar faced Xu Meng's blade.
Chila——
The long knife cut through the steel bars like a knife cutting tofu. There was a momentary obstruction but it didn't get stuck at all.
Zhu Ning was already prepared. She flashed in the next second. She had clearly chosen the highest speed to move, but Xu Meng was not slow either. The blade just barely brushed past Zhu Ning's shoulder.
So fast! It turns out this is Xu Meng’s real speed, almost the same as the highest gear of the acceleration props.
Xu Meng was very efficient in his work, and at this point there was no need to hide it anymore, or perhaps Zhu Ning had worn out Xu Meng's patience.
So Xu Meng showed no mercy at all.
Zhu Ning just dodged, and Xu Meng really wanted to know where Zhu Ning's true strength lay.
Zhu Ning moves faster than an ordinary person, and Xu Meng's speed is not slow either. She can flash quickly like a flowing shadow.
So no matter how Zhu Ning dodged, Xu Meng kept following closely behind him.
Bang, bang, bang—
The wall suddenly exploded, and the steel bars broke through the wall like a person's bones breaking through the skin. The building steel bars bent into an arc in the air. Zhu Ning was inside the building and had absolute control over the metal inside.
The exploded steel bars were like the claws of a monster or a cage. In the blink of an eye, they reached Xu Meng's back, and her body was cut into pieces by the shadow of the steel bars.
Zhu Ning was curious about how Xu Meng would respond. Would he dodge? Or turn and slash?
But Xu Meng didn't do that. The sharp steel bars were close to Xu Meng's back and had pierced her clothes. If she had waited another second, dozens of steel bars would have pierced through her body.
The moment the steel bar touched Xu Meng's skin, she suddenly turned into a black shadow, and the steel bar pierced the shadow silently.
The air froze, and the thick black shadow was pierced with dozens of holes, as if poking a piece of tattered cloth.
The next moment, the tattered shadow seemed to melt, dripping to the ground, gathering and flowing on the ground, and actually formed a new Xu Meng.
What a strange ability, she can’t be killed physically?
Xu Meng raised his eyes, and the black pupils disappeared, revealing a pair of golden vertical pupils, like a cheetah in the mountains.
After his rebirth, Xu Meng seemed to have finally revealed his true colors. He changed from his previous gentle and low-key demeanor to become very tough, and murderous intent spread.
If Li Nianchuan was here, he might be surprised that his own gentle and low-key captain turned into another person in the blink of an eye, like a cat turning into a cheetah and showing its sharp claws.
Xu Meng's eyes looked dangerous in the darkness, the look of a big cat before hunting.
She took a step forward, "You're not going to do anything?"
Xu Meng tried several times to test Zhu Ning's true strength, but Zhu Ning has not resisted until now. Why?
Facing Xu Meng's murderous intent, Zhu Ning stood still: "I don't think it's necessary."
Xu Meng's posture was extremely elegant. She didn't even make a sound when she came over. "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Zhu Ning: "Not afraid."
Xu Meng raised the knife: "Give me a reason."
Zhu Ning shouldn't say that because she is her team member, the relationship between Xu Meng and Zhu Ning is not that close.
Zhu Ning's eyelashes didn't even tremble when she saw the knife flash. Zhu Ning always felt that Xu Meng looked murderous and wanted to chop her to death with a knife, but she would definitely not kill her.
She had a better reason: "Because I might be the subject of Cheng Mofei's investigation."
Chila——
When Xu Meng's long sword was about a palm away from Zhu Ning, it suddenly deviated. The blade cut through the wall with unstoppable force, and a bright spark exploded.
The freight train rumbled past, and the entire unfinished building shook.
Xu Meng looked at Zhu Ning coldly.
What is she talking about?
Zhu Ning continued expressionlessly, "I'm a test subject for Yongsheng Pharmaceutical."
