18 The Man-Eating Hot Pot Restaurant (Part 7)
◎ Protective clothing is damaged, there are wounds, and contaminated spores are parasitic◎
Liu Niannian was shocked. She thought Zhu Ning would at least make a careful plan, but she didn't expect her to simply blow a big hole in the basement.
Really unprofessional.
It was too late for Liu Niannian to find a professional because Zhu Ning's noise had alerted the people outside. The door was kicked open, and a pig-headed man stood in the doorway, holding an axe.
"Little girls, you are not behaving well." The pig-headed man rushed towards them with an axe.
Liu Niannian's scalp tingled. She had not been deeply mentally polluted before because she had not dealt with pollutants much. She felt disgusted when she looked at pollutants for even a second.
Before she could escape, Zhu Ning took out a submachine gun from his backpack.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of bullets were fired and suddenly embedded into the pig-headed man. The pig head that had just grown back was smashed to pieces again. The pig-headed man was instantly beaten into a sieve.
Liu Niannian: “…”
Is this directly suppressing firepower?
Zhu Ning had more equipment this time, which was different from last time. She knew that once she found the source of the pollution, she had to act quickly.
If the source of pollution discovers they've been exposed, they'll go berserk and try to kill you, just like the fishman did before. More and more people rushed into the corridor, leaving Zhu Ning alone with firepower.
"Go down." Zhu Ning said.
"Ah?" Liu Niannian couldn't keep up with Zhu Ning's train of thought. "You want me to get off from here?"
She pointed at the huge hole that Zhu Ning had blasted. She asked her to go to the basement to accompany that disgusting boss? Was Zhu Ning sure he was here to save her, not to kill her?
"If you don't go down, I can kick you down." Zhu Ning had no patience. She had already loaded the gun again and fired a new round of shots at the pollutants that were chasing her.
The shell casings fell down with a crackling sound, but Zhu Ning did not seem to be panicked at all.
Liu Niannian hesitated, wondering whether to trust her or not. Zhu Ning didn't seem particularly unreliable, so she decided to trust him for once. After all, he was the only living person in this desolate place.
Once Liu Niannian made up her mind, she didn't hesitate. She tore a piece of white plastic sheeting from the hole and scrambled down using her hands and feet. When her feet touched the ground, she didn't dare to breathe.
It was too close. The hot pot restaurant owner on the bed was right next to her.
She could hear rustling sounds, as if the boss's flesh was crawling, they were growing.
Zhu Ning was clearly right above her head, with only the ceiling between them, but Liu Niannian felt as if she had entered another world when she entered the basement.
The flow of time here and even the air feel different.
It seems... sticky here.
The air was not transparent. If normal air was like clear water, now she felt like she was walking into a bowl of white rice porridge. Even with the help of the helmet, she had difficulty breathing.
There are mirrors all around, not like the large mirrors covering the entire wall in the dance studio, but a group of small, irregular mirrors pieced together.
The mirror reflects countless Liu Niannians and countless shop owners.
It was as if everything was cut and reorganized, Liu Niannian's things were cut off and put on the boss, and then the boss was attached to Liu Niannian, and they gradually became one.
Repeated mental pollution.
Liu Niannian, a daughter of a wealthy family, usually had shoes that were never dirty, and the scene before her almost made her eyes go dark.
Liu Niannian didn't even know where to glance. Every second she looked would consume more of her energy. She stared at the tip of her boots.
Breathe, Liu Niannian, breathe calmly.
She had looked up information before coming and knew that as long as the source of pollution was killed, the polluted area would naturally collapse.
The shop owner is obviously the source of the pollution. He is now lying unconscious on the bed, and even his employees can cut flesh from him. It shouldn't be that difficult to kill him.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Niannian picked up the gun.
Beside the bed stood two instruments, each covered in densely packed small characters. Liu Niannian's family had some medical-related projects, so she could read the instruments.
The numbers on the instrument didn't fluctuate at all. Is this a... dead person?
The boss is dead?
Wait, is the pollutant itself considered dead or alive? What if she tried to kill him? What if her gamble paid off? Then she and Zhu Ning could leave.
Liu Niannian felt that his mental state was rapidly declining.
Her mind was not clear anymore and she could only act on instinct. She had only one thought in her mind - to kill the boss.
Kill the boss, kill the boss, kill the boss...
Suddenly, Liu Niannian felt a black hand pat her left shoulder. She shuddered, her hair standing on end, and her hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably.
"Liu Niannian?"
It was Zhu Ning. She almost cried when she heard Zhu Ning's voice. She had never wanted to see someone so much in her life.
It was really Zhu Ning. Zhu Ning had just jumped down from the building. Liu Niannian was still in shock and his voice was trembling. "Are those pollutants dead?"
"For now." Zhu Ning said.
As long as the source of pollution does not die, the pollutants will not die either, and they can still recover.
However, compared to last time, it is a bit more difficult for the Pig-Headed Man to recover. Last time he was just shot in the head, but now he is almost beaten into a pulp.
Zhu Ning could sense that Liu Niannian's mental state was beginning to deteriorate. A message appeared inside his helmet: [Pollution concentration reaches 113%].
Such a high level proves that they are very close to the source of pollution.
"What were you going to do just now?" Zhu Ning asked.
"Kill, kill the boss." Liu Niannian said.
She put the gun down dejectedly. "I don't think I can do it anymore. I might start hallucinating soon. I'll give you the gun first."
Zhu Ning took her gun and felt that although Liu Niannian was a young lady, she was very smart when it came time to use her brain. At least she knew how not to cause trouble for others.
Zhu Ning glanced around the basement and saw the mirrors. Those mirrors seemed very attractive, making it hard to look away once you took a look.
Liu Niannian's breathing became heavier. "It's so strange here. The number on the life monitor is dead."
"Hmm?" Zhu Ning listened with mixed feelings.
Liu Niannian: "The life monitor has no data. The boss seems to be dead."
She spoke very uncertainly, because she could still hear the boss's flesh moving and growing. The boss's fat grew so fast that it soon overflowed from the bed and fell to the ground with a plop.
The fat was like a vine, quickly filling the entire room. If it was dead, how could it grow?
Zhu Ning frowned. What do you mean dead?
Zhu Ning looked at the mirror, which reflected them. The mirrors on all four walls reflected them. Zhu Ning and Liu Niannian's bodies were distorted, as if they had become part of the basement decorations.
Among the countless superimposed figures, Zhu Ning saw a black dot. It was a very small black dot, but it was magnified at the same time against the backdrop of thousands of mirror fragments.
Boom——
Her heart suddenly contracted. Here it came again, that death warning.
[Primary talent Danger Prediction has been triggered. A 30-second warning has been sent. Please be careful.]
trap.
Liu Niannian only felt that Zhu Ning's body stiffened, very unnatural, as if he was frozen in place for no reason, and remained frozen for about a second.
Liu Niannian was just about to go check on Zhu Ning to see if she was mentally contaminated when Zhu Ning suddenly started moving, pulling Liu Niannian towards the other side.
Liu Niannian's legs were not agile and she almost tripped. Zhu Ning really didn't care at all that she was a young lady. He pressed her back and knocked her down.
Liu Niannian: “?”
Her face made close contact with the ground with a loud bang. The helmet protected her, but her head was buzzing from the impact.
Liu Niannian usually has a very arrogant temper. This time, before she could even lose her temper, she felt a cold light and a strong cold wind.
Is that... a guillotine?
A three-meter-long guillotine suddenly appeared inside the room. The blade brushed past Liu Niannian's back, almost chopping Liu Niannian into a pig's head.
Liu Niannian couldn't react at all. This matter was beyond her understanding.
Zhu Ning pressed on Liu Niannian's back, and her position was higher than Liu Niannian's. The blade cut across her right shoulder, and blood gushed out, dripping down her arm.
Zhu Ning began to feel dizzy as he looked at the bloodstains on the floor. He knew with his toes that getting injured here was not a good thing.
The protective suit was damaged, had wounds, and was infested with contaminated spores. In just a few seconds, Liu Niannian's mind was filled with this.
Zhu Ning might become a contaminant, and Liu Niannian's only companion would be infected.
Zhu Ning reacted quickly. She took out a sticker-like thing from her backpack and stuck it on her torn protective suit.
Article 9 of the Cleaner's Manual: If the protective suit is damaged, please stop the task immediately. If you cannot stop, please patch it immediately to ensure that the protective suit is sealed.
Zhu Ning did his homework before coming here, and he didn't know if there were any contaminated spores that had taken the opportunity to get in, but he couldn't care less now. Even if it became a contaminant, he would drag someone into the water.
The sharp guillotine was hung by an iron chain and was swinging inside the house. It was like a murderous sickle, quickly harvesting heads inside the room.
The knives fell down one after another. If Zhu Ning and Liu Niannian had been standing just now, they would have been chopped into dumpling fillings.
Zhu Ning pushed Liu Niannian away and rolled on the ground to avoid the second attack.
Zhu Ning took the opportunity to take a look. The guillotine was hanging upside down on the ceiling, but he couldn't find where it was hanging.
Unreasonable things cannot happen in a contaminated area, which means that there was a guillotine here before it became a contaminated area, but it is only exaggerated now.
Why does this exist? Who did the hot pot restaurant owner originally want to kill?
She couldn't find where the guillotine was hanging, and guns were useless against it.
In the danger prediction, she had half her face chopped off by a guillotine. This talent can only predict your death 30 seconds later. She found that the danger prediction does not always work. When you encounter it, it is one thing, and whether you can escape it is another.
"The source of the pollution isn't the boss," Zhu Ning said, clutching his injured right shoulder. He injected a powerful healing agent into it and continued, "It's Wang Ming."
"What?" Liu Niannian lay on the ground, trying to lower her body as much as possible. It was difficult for her to understand what Zhu Ning said.
Wang Ming? The guy in the tape? Wasn't Wang Ming a victim? Why was he the source of the pollution?
Liu Niannian felt like she was about to have hallucinations. After Zhu Ning mentioned Wang Ming, the mirror in front of her suddenly began to distort, and blood began to ooze from the edges of the broken lenses.
The edges of the mirror fragments were uneven, so the blood broke the mirror into pieces. A pig's face emerged from the mirror fragments. It was a bigger and uglier pig's head!
brush--
The sharp guillotine chopped down for the third time.
The author has something to say:
Article 9 of the Cleaner's Manual: If the protective suit is damaged, please stop the task immediately. If you cannot stop, please patch it immediately to ensure that the protective suit is sealed.
