168 Turning Point
◎What is Zhu Ning?◎
Everyone is a demon hunter by profession, so of course they can recognize that this is a pollutant, but many people can't react in the right way.
Because under normal circumstances, these people are their teammates, not enemies.
Jiang Hesheng watched helplessly as his colleagues turned into pollutants. They had just been training together on the 45th floor and were still discussing what to eat in the evening when they received the notice.
Kong Yue suggested having a barbecue, "Let's go have a barbecue after the inspection. This time it's my treat."
He looked no different. Although his body was eighty percent mechanized, he had a very good temper.
Before being examined by Huo Wenxi, Kong Yue was standing in line behind him, and Jiang Hesheng was chatting with him quietly.
Now the ten-meter-tall head stood quietly, with the same face. Judging from the distribution of facial features, it was his colleague Kong Yue.
Sometimes it is difficult for people to accept the changes in things they are familiar with. Kong Yue's face is covered with arms, like a sculpture on Easter Island, and he looks down at the employees below.
Jiang Hesheng's pupils trembled, he always felt that Kong Yue was looking at him.
Two arms stretched out from the huge eyeball, and the black pupil was looking downwards, with a look of even pity.
What on earth is this thing? If it is human, why does it have this appearance?
If they are pollutants, why are you looking at them like that?
The hall was in chaos. Most of the people present were demon hunters. They had very strong professional ethics and no one wore protective clothing, which meant they were exposed to a highly polluted environment. Everyone's first reaction was to retreat.
Things happened too quickly. The contaminated area immediately opened up, and countless arms formed in mid-air. The densely packed arms formed a "hand wave", like waves rushing towards the beach, and the pollutants were covering the original floor and walls.
Even though they were experienced demon hunters, they rarely saw the moment when the contaminated area was formed.
The three camps previously divided into red, yellow and blue, red and yellow have been submerged by a wave composed of countless arms.
There were defensive psychics present, and they immediately set up a transparent defensive space, wrapping most people in it. The defense was like a cover, temporarily shielding against pollution.
They are all professional demon hunters, and they divide the work very tacitly. Those without superpowers hide in the defense circle, while those with superpowers who are not so easily contaminated are responsible for killing the pollutants.
A ten-meter-tall head looked down at everyone, and the arms below the head were dancing rapidly, using the arms as legs, like some kind of insect wriggling rapidly.
His target was also very clear, which was Huo Wenxi.
He was targeting Huo Wenxi from the beginning. If the explosion failed once, there was still a second pollution.
"Kill him!" someone shouted.
Some demon hunters reacted and used their special powers. There were many demon hunters present, and even more of them had offensive special powers.
Crackling——
Someone attacked the wriggling arm on Kong Yue's left side. Like a sickle, dozens of arms were broken at once, and the broken arms fell to the ground one after another.
The severed hand twitched and twisted, its five fingers grasping the floor, and its index and middle fingers acting as legs to support the entire arm, as if a person had suddenly stood up.
The broken arm stood up again and ran towards Huo Wenxi like a dense swarm of insects.
Some people's special ability is hidden weapons, and black nails can nail the crawling arms.
Phew!
Someone attacked the back of the man's head, and an invisible force solidified in the air, crushing one of his eyes, causing blood to burst out.
A man can control his blood. The blood in his head is flowing backwards, and something is constantly stirring under his skin, as if his whole body is covered with tumors.
Someone conjured up a bone knife and slashed at the back of his head, chopping off countless hands.
They were like hunting a large wild animal, chopping off his arms, crushing his eyes, covering him with tumors, and cutting his skin inch by inch.
Zhu Ning did not take action at this stage. She just watched the pollutant from afar. With so many people present, it was not Zhu Ning's turn to take action, so she was more like a bystander, watching a massacre.
For some reason, Zhu Ning developed a strange sense of empathy with pollutants.
In a trance, she felt that she and the other party were of the same kind, and she was watching humans killing her own kind.
After just one minute, the pollutant's body was already broken, but he still dragged his limbs towards Huo Wenxi.
Huo Wenxi, there is only Huo Wenxi in his eyes.
Bang--!
Finally, a witcher hit his vital point, and his huge body fell to the ground like a mountain being pushed to the ground by someone.
He raised his eyes, his eyeballs were crushed, two lines of blood and tears flowed down, but he was still looking stubbornly in the direction of Huo Wenxi.
Someone hit him with a finishing blow, and then someone else came forward to finish him off.
His raised hand paused in mid-air, then drooped limply until a contaminated spore emerged from his bloody eyeball.
This was a scene Zhu Ning had seen too many times: the source of pollution was killed, the contaminated area was flattened, and contaminated spores were flying.
Contaminated spores drifted across the cleansing center like a rain of blood.
The hall of the cleaning center used to be spotless and exuded a sense of solemnity, but now it is full of bloody minced meat and blood-red contaminated spores floating in the air.
People will suffer greater psychological impact at this time.
It was like the interior of a sacred and inviolable church suddenly became dirty, giving people the illusion that the devil had broken into the church.
A polluted area formed before my eyes and then disappeared immediately.
For a moment, there was silence and no one spoke. Except for Zhu Ning and a few people who knew the situation, everyone was confused.
A very faint voice came from the crowd, "Kong Yue?"
They instinctively looked at the person who made the sound. It was an ordinary-looking man, his face pale at this moment, as if he had not reacted at all from beginning to end.
He called the pollutant's name, Kong Yue.
The sound startled everyone. The Demon Hunters and Cleaners had trained together before, and everyone had met each other. Even if they couldn't remember the names, they would feel familiar when they saw the faces.
After that training, the relationship between the cleaners and the demon hunters became much more harmonious, and they would greet each other if they met in the elevator.
This sound was like a needle piercing everyone's heart. The rotten flesh on the ground and the floating contaminated spores once belonged to their colleague, Kong Yue.
"Damn!" Someone couldn't help but curse out loud, "What the hell is this? Is he contaminated?"
Is it because the pressure of being a demon hunter is too great, and he can't bear it, so the mental pollution breaks out and he collapses?
No one answered, and the question had obvious flaws.
The polluted people cannot bear it mentally, and their collapse is sudden or caused by something stimulating, such as the fishman in the sewer.
Moreover, polluted humans are uncontrollable and it is difficult for them to decide when to collapse.
But Kong Yue's intention was very clear. He wanted to kill Huo Wenxi. It was more like a precise detonation.
"No one move!" Footsteps sounded densely, and the security team came to maintain order. They put on protective clothing and surrounded everyone with guns in hand.
Including Zhu Ning.
Everyone present today must be checked to ensure there is no secondary contamination.
Cleaners wearing black protective suits came to contain the contaminated spores. They sent five teams of cleaners at once.
The cleaning center's lobby flashed red, and the system went into emergency mode. They had a comprehensive emergency plan, and despite the panic, they quickly brought the situation under control.
No one was wearing protective clothing, and even if there were defensive psychics to support the enclosed space, theoretically everyone was at risk of contamination.
Zhu Ning also needs to go to the observation room to check whether he is contaminated.
The operation to find the traitor can only be temporarily stopped.
Huo Wenxi also wanted to be examined. The person in protective clothing said, "Team Leader Huo, please."
Before leaving, Huo Wenxi and Zhu Ning looked at each other. They understood each other's thoughts and were thinking about the same question.
Why would Kong Yue rather self-destruct than kill Huo Wenxi?
Because he couldn't bear the psychological pressure, he tried his best to see if he could kill Huo Wenxi?
Or should he attract their attention and sacrifice himself so that they have no time to find the more important undercover agent?
There is also speculation that he, at his own expense, created a contaminated area in the lobby of the cleaning center, where contaminated spores floated, and all exposed people had to undergo emergency examinations.
Cleaning centers have safety protocols in place to ensure there are no large-scale outbreaks of infection.
Huo Wenxi has the highest investigative authority, but he must also obey this strict regulation.
Even though it's just a procedure for Huo Wenxi, it will slow down her investigation.
Huo Wenxi made the boldest move to alert the enemy, and then got the result he wanted and really found the traitor.
The other side also responded accordingly, muddying the waters and throwing the cleaning center into chaos.
Huowenxi is responsible for this pollution.
…
The observation room is packed today. Before, people would talk to each other when they met, but now there is only silence.
The strange thing that happened just now was a shock to everyone.
Everyone is undergoing a reshaping of their values. Trust is at its lowest point at this time, and it is difficult for them to trust anyone. All colleagues with whom they usually get along well may be potential contaminants.
Pollutants are already lurking in the cleaning center. They receive training together, participate in data collection together, and even go on missions to kill other pollutants and purify the polluted area.
To them, is this action killing their own kind?
They look no different from us in appearance, they can think and have intelligence, and that worm has already proved the absurdity of the high wall plan.
Because it's not just humans hiding in the survivor base, there are also pollutants mixed in with the crowd.
The Demon Hunter team relies on tacit understanding and trust, and now both of them are gone.
It can be said that today the cleaning center's demon hunter team was defeated directly at the morale level.
Whether you are a conservative or a radical, you have to admit that human history has changed.
They have witnessed history and are at the forefront of historical turning points.
Zhu Ning walked into the observation room. She had been to this place several times and had not received any special treatment. She walked into a pure white room again.
When she entered the bathroom, her first reaction was to wash her hands. She had just had blood splattered on her arm. She knew that Huo Wenxi would be able to take her out soon, but that didn't mean she wasn't shocked by what had just happened.
She had long known that pollutants could disguise themselves as humans, but seeing them with her own eyes was another matter.
Zhu Ning was willing to share her speculation with Huo Wenxi, 80% of the reason being that she wanted to curry favor with someone powerful enough to protect her. If she hadn't had to, she wouldn't have even bothered to report it to Huo Wenxi.
She made up a name for "Jiang Ping", a non-natural human being.
Zhu Ning still remembered how she made a deal with Huo Wenxi that day. After listening to Zhu Ning's explanation, Huo Wenxi pointed out that she had only mentioned a potential danger and could not prove that it really existed.
Zhu Ning replied, I am giving you the opportunity.
This matter is like Schrödinger's cat. Nothing can be said without solid evidence. Huo Wenxi used his supernatural powers to judge that what Zhu Ning said was true.
Zhu Ning found it incredible when he thought back that Huo Wenxi actually believed intuitively that humanity was facing a crisis that had not yet occurred and had invested huge effort in it.
Huo Wenxi asked her to find evidence of non-natural humans invading human society. There is no more direct evidence than this.
It happened in full view of everyone, and everyone present was a witness.
From this day on, a potential danger becomes a real and obvious danger.
This will become a common crisis for all mankind.
She pondered this carefully. How did she get the deserted village mission? Was it also pushed by Prometheus?
And Prometheus was instructed by another self.
Every time Zhu Ning entered a polluted area, it was like handing over information. After the deserted village, she received an unfalsifiable piece of news.
There may be unnatural humans among the crowd.
Using this as a clue, she reported it to Huo Wenxi. After that, she entered Bao Ruiming's brain to obtain the most direct evidence and new key intelligence.
After handing the new information to Huo Wenxi, the team leader acted quickly and found more clues.
The Revival Society, and Su He who can use the power of natural disasters.
If the existence of non-natural humans is exposed now, there will be major turmoil within the cleaning center. With the interests of all parties involved in the game, it is hard to say what will happen next.
Who was Cheng Mofei's superior back then? Was he the earliest hidden leader of the Resurrection Society?
Zhu Ning had been led to this point by his previous self, and he always felt that there was still one step left.
She seemed to be missing a part, like where did the ability to reboot come from? There must be a prepared contaminated area behind that Prometheus hadn't pushed to her yet.
Did she really gain an advantage by restarting once?
Zhu Ning leaned against the sink. The mirror reflected her. She felt unfamiliar with herself.
What is Zhu Ning?
She had always considered herself a human being. No matter what kind of experimental subject her body was, her soul identified as human.
She doesn't even need to think carefully; she'll blurt it out if asked.
This is purely a matter of inertia of thinking. No matter what conflict occurs, she firmly believes that she can stand on the side of humans.
Even if she considers herself a human being, how should others view her? Not everyone has the same good impression of her as Xu Meng.
How would Huo Wenxi react when he knew she was an experimental subject?
After Zhu Ning found Huo Wenxi as her support, she seemed to be temporarily safe, but now it seems that the crisis has never disappeared. Even if she always stands on the side of humans, can humans guarantee that they will not hurt her?
Kong Yue's fate may be hers.
