219 Yongsheng Pharmaceutical Foundation (Twenty-fifth)
Sacrifice
The system did not indicate that the mission was complete, because the mission issued by the system was to completely purify the area. Zhu Ning killed Liu Liu, but there was still pollution inside the hotel, and a new source of pollution was being born, so the mission was not considered completed.
Xu Meng is the new source of pollution. Her heart is bulging, like a pot of boiling water about to boil, and can swallow anything. If Zhu Ning touches it, her hands will be swallowed up.
Zhu Ning had seen it before, but she deliberately ignored it.
Xu Meng had long been infected internally, Zhu Ning was infected in the abdomen, and Xu Meng's heart was infected. A snake-like contamination wrapped around her. When she was infected, she should have immediately injected a mental healing agent to temporarily suspend the contamination and wait for rescue.
Instead of directly confronting the assassin, she entered the alienated state, which catalyzed the degree of infection. If she had not been alienated, she could still be saved.
Once alienated, the mutant will be on the verge of degeneration. Excessive alienation will cause her mental value to be on the verge of collapse, and she will soon become a pollutant.
She is tired.
Nine years of revenge made her not want to go on, and she has come to this day with responsibilities that ordinary people can't imagine.
Help me, kill me, Xu Meng's last request, she knew what she would become.
This was Xu Meng's request, so Zhu Ning had to complete it regardless of the consequences.
Zhu Ning has already killed Zhu Yao, his friend from the zombie world, Dr. Fu, and now Xu Meng.
Zhu Ning picked up Xu Meng and held her in her arms.
She let Xu Meng's chin rest on her shoulder. She wanted Xu Meng to die comfortably and not die like a monster.
Xu Meng wanted to die with human dignity, and Zhu Ning tried his best to satisfy her.
Zhu Ning used her hand to push away the wet hair on her forehead, revealing Xu Meng's smooth forehead. She gently touched the captain, hoping that she would die clean and decent.
Zhu Ning placed her hand on Xu Meng's temples and gently pulled out the human-machine joint device. She didn't want Xu Meng to be recorded before his death, and didn't want him to become a puppet of artificial intelligence.
Xu Meng came into this world clean, and she will leave cleanly. Zhu Ning will clean the last part of her journey.
Zhu Ning placed the muzzle of his gun against Xu Meng's left temple. After gripping the gun, the next step seemed to become very simple.
She was like a cold-blooded executioner. She didn't want to look weak and incompetent. She wanted Xu Meng to feel safe.
Captain, leave it to me, I can handle it, just like before.
I will obey your orders and complete the tasks you assign.
She wanted Xu Meng not to worry at the last moment, so she didn't even shed a tear.
"Captain," she said calmly, taking a deep breath, "I'm going to take action."
Xu Meng was too weak to speak, she just hummed softly.
Zhu Ning's finger on the trigger slowly tightened, wondering if there was a God or a higher-dimensional power in this world.
Xu Meng felt that the time before a person's death seemed to be deliberately slowed down, as if to allow humans to savor it slowly.
Xu Meng had long anticipated that he would die. Death in a contaminated area is the final fate of a demon hunter.
She was very glad that the person who was by her side at the end was Zhu Ning. Zhu Ning's body was warm and he held her tightly in his arms. She was not afraid of death.
She received a hug from Zhu Ning when she died.
She has no regrets; she has done everything she should do.
Xu Meng closed her eyes. Everyone was talking about the kaleidoscope, and she thought she would think of something.
It turned out that it was not the first mission, nor was it the time when Cheng Mofei was lost, nor was it any of the times when the Cheetah Team reunited.
She thought back to when she was thirteen years old, before she became a witcher. At that time, she liked a band called Blood Crows, and the themes of their songs were very vulgar, basically about overthrowing the world and fighting.
In the eyes of adults, it is non-mainstream. I don’t know what I am singing at the top of my lungs. It is so non-mainstream.
When Xu Meng was a teenager, she loved it. She would secretly go to underground bars to watch concerts. She would sing every song. She would secretly practice playing the guitar by herself. No one else in the Cheetah team knew that Xu Meng was very good at playing the guitar.
The lead singer of the band was a girl with long pink hair. Every time she sang, her pink hair would swing like pink waves.
Xu Meng was often infected by her and swayed along on the dance floor.
She seemed to have become thirteen-year-old Xu Meng again, wearing a T-shirt with a bloody crow printed on it, sneaking off to listen to a concert, squeezing into the crowd, and singing along with the lead singer unscrupulously: "Fight! Keep fighting, my girl!"
Xu Meng thought about it, smiled, and hummed a tune that was not quite a song.
Let's fight.
Bang--
Zhu Ning pulled the trigger, and the bullet passed through her left temple and fell to the ground with a ding-dong sound.
Xu Meng's humming stopped abruptly, like a record player being turned off, and her hands dropped heavily.
Zhu Ning hugged Xu Meng's body, blood splattered on her face. She held Xu Meng's hands tighter and tighter, she wanted to rub Xu Meng into her body.
But contrary to expectations, Xu Meng's body quickly became soft and turned into rotten meat.
Zhu Ning tried to hold it but failed, the rotten meat dripped down through her fingers like water in a bamboo basket.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stay.
Familiar contaminated spores precipitated, floating very slowly, like swimming fireflies.
Zhu Ning was stunned. Her hands were covered with rotten flesh and her face was covered with blood. Her vision was blurry.
Finally realizing that Xu Meng was gone, she left.
In the dark underground, the exit is right in front of me, and the voices of the rescue team can be heard outside.
The entire hotel was filled with contaminated spores, like another strange creature in the cave. Xu Meng's contaminated spores floated in front of Zhu Ning.
Then, without stopping, it continued to swim upwards and would soon merge with other contaminated spores.
No matter what a person looked like before, the contaminated spores all look the same. Once they enter, they are like drops of water flowing into the sea, with no difference at all.
Xu Meng's contaminated spores floated upwards and would soon be far away from Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning stretched out her hand, just like she had stretched out her hand at the bottom of the garbage mountain before.
She always reaches out a hand when she is in desperate situations, and there is always someone who helps her in the past, and it was Lao Yang before.
This time, Zhu Ning didn't expect anyone to pull her. She stretched out her hand and grabbed a contaminated spore.
The edges of the contaminated spores were very round, softly touching Zhu Ning's palm, and a faint red light was revealed from between his fingers.
Zhu Ning finally couldn't hold back her tears. She pretended to be calm and professional in front of Xu Meng, but at this moment all her tears broke out.
She grasped Xu Meng's contaminated spores and said, "I've got you."
…
Outside the hotel.
In a room opposite, Bobcat and Big Orange were waiting.
As in the past, the two of them were Xu Meng's substitutes, guarding against any accidents.
Xu Meng felt very strange after waking up that day. She thought for a long time alone, and then said that she was going on a mission. She had a meal with them before leaving and did not say any sentimental farewell words.
Everything is normal, except for the doomsday countdown, today is no different from the previous ones.
Daju asked, "What mission? Is it related to Brother Cheng?"
Xu Meng said, "It's somewhat related. I'll go take a look. If I'm lucky, I should get a lot this time."
As the captain, Xu Meng certainly wouldn't tell them everything, and they were used to it. Generally speaking, Xu Meng would come back safely.
Daju asked: "Are you really okay?"
Since coming back last time, Xu Meng has been in a bad mood and his mental state has fluctuated greatly. Daju is a little worried about Xu Meng's safety. After all, all demon hunters must pay attention to their mental state at all times.
Xu Meng: "It's okay. I'll be more careful."
Daju nodded and said, "Wait until you finish your mission, get some deep treatment, rest, and stop working hard."
Xu Meng hummed, then suddenly asked, "Do you remember the Red Sea Resort?"
"I remember!" Daju smiled, thinking of something funny, and said, "I remember it so clearly!"
Xu Meng asked: "What do you remember?"
Daju: “Forgot.”
Xu Meng: “…”
Daju: "Hahaha, I can't remember the specific things. Let me think about it, eating barbecue, taking photos, playing games, Xie Jiazu always loses, nothing special."
Daju thought for a moment and said, "But it's really fun. I don't know why, but I don't have any worries at all. It's like my mind is purified and empty, you know?"
Xu Meng smiled and said, "I know."
She remembered that nothing particularly significant had happened, but she was just happy, the kind of silly happiness that didn't bother her at all. It was rare for a person to experience such pure joy in their life, so it was no wonder Cheng Mofei had always remembered it.
Bobcat: "It was a nice day."
Daju took over the conversation: "Yes! I remember it too, the weather was really, really good!"
Daju opened his secondary brain and searched inside for a while, and found the group photo taken at that party. The smart camera took several photos in a row and also recorded a video.
"Hey! My goodness! Xie Jiazu, stop!" In the picture, Daju was chasing Xie Jiazu and asking for something.
The mountain cat next to him was particularly helpless, cleaning up the spilled drinks on the table, while Cheng Mofei looked down at Xu Meng.
I didn't feel anything when it actually happened, but it was more obvious in the video. Cheng Mofei's eyes were always on Xu Meng, and his eyes were very bright.
But Xu Meng couldn't sense it at that time.
Everyone probably knew what Cheng Mofei was thinking, but Xu Meng was the only one who realized it later. Looking at the old photos, he felt that things had changed and people had changed.
The people watching the video were silent for a moment. Daju coughed lightly and asked, "Captain, what do you feel about him?"
Bobcat felt that these words were not suitable for boys to hear, so he turned his eyes away. He thought Xu Meng would not answer.
Who knew that Xu Meng thought about this question seriously and said solemnly: "I don't know."
Xu Meng thought, does she like Cheng Mofei?
I thought about it for a long time. Maybe I like him, maybe I don’t. The feelings came suddenly and briefly, and there was no chance to confirm anything.
If he hadn't died, it might have been possible, but after he died, it became an unknown.
Xu Meng's reason for revenge for him was to avenge her family. If anything like this happened to any member of the Cheetah team, she would seek justice for him because she was the captain.
In such a chaotic world, it is too luxurious to talk about likes and dislikes.
Daju's eyes darkened and he changed the subject, "Let's go again after the mission is over. We can also bring that traitor Xie Jiazu along if he's willing to go."
Daju was not happy when Xie Jiazu was mentioned, and he showed a particularly reluctant expression, as if it was a bargain for him.
Daju was afraid that Xu Meng would be unhappy, but Xu Meng said, "Okay, call him too."
They agreed to go to the Red Sea Resort for vacation after the mission was completed. They would invite Xie Jiazu and Cheng Mofei to come along, so the four of them would reunite.
Before leaving, Xu Meng waved goodbye to them, and Daju even hugged Xu Meng.
Now Shanmao and Daju are guarding the hotel. Daju said, "It should be almost done, right? He's been in there for three hours."
Bobcat leaned against the window and just shook his head. He didn't know why he was particularly anxious today, as if something bad was about to happen.
Perhaps it was because of Huo Wenxi’s public remarks that the end of the world was approaching, making everything seem unreal.
Daju kept eating snacks while waiting, and her heart rate would speed up if she stopped.
She left a piece of strawberry cake for Xu Meng. Xu Meng never revealed what she liked to eat. Daju observed that she seemed to like strawberry cake very much and would eat a few more bites every time. Daju always left the best-looking piece for her.
The cream on the strawberry cake had melted a little. Daju put the cake into the hotel refrigerator and felt stupid for only remembering to put it in the refrigerator now. He hoped that Xu Meng could eat something good when she came out.
Then Daju began to check the medicine box. Xu Meng would get injured every time she completed a task, and Daju was ready to treat her.
"This is a powerful healing agent, and this is a mental healing agent," Daju laid out the injections one by one and said, "This is for scar removal. It's a good product I bought for the captain."
"This is for tranquilizers. The captain seems to have trouble sleeping recently." Because Bobcat doesn't like to talk, Big Orange muttered to himself, "Let me check the dosage. Twice a day, it's quite..."
At this point, Daju stopped talking, and the bracelet on her wrist flashed. Daju stared at the flashing red light for a moment, unable to react for a moment.
[Cleanser Xu Meng, vital signs have disappeared]
The bracelet made a clear notification sound, and at the same time, the injection in Daju's hand fell to the ground with a ding-dong sound.
Bobcat turned around in disbelief. After Cheng Mofei's death, Daju hacked into the cleaning center's system and connected it to Xu Meng's bracelet notification.
Xu Meng died.
