270 Zombie City (XII)
◎Your name is Zhu Ning, and you have lost your memory◎
The photo is empty, but Zhu Ning always feels that there was someone in it before, just like there must have been someone in the petri dish in front of him before.
Zhu Ning might have seen it before, but she had no memory of it at all. All her related memories had been eaten away.
So what's inside?
Because she had entered the secret room in the classroom cleaning room, Zhu Ning could not hear Pei Shu's bombing outside. The whole world became quiet. There was only Bai Cheng, who looked like a corpse, following her. Bai Cheng only had the function of reminding her and could not protect her at all. Zhu Ning was still losing her memory.
Zhu Ning felt as if something was licking his brain, and the wet feeling was particularly familiar.
Zhu Ning took a deep breath and tried to digest the huge amount of information, but it was like choking after eating too much in one breath. The amount of information was like a whole egg yolk stuck in her throat, almost choking her to death. She couldn't digest it.
So it can’t be digested.
Let Zhu Ning, in his adult form, digest it. Whoever wants to do it can do it.
Zhu Ning now has a feeling of giving up and letting go. I don’t care what this experiment is for. She wants to get out.
The notebook said that there was a little girl, Lin Xiaofeng, who was only ten years old and didn't have many memories that could be swallowed up. If Zhu Ning couldn't handle this matter well, the first person to die would be the little girl.
What had the girl done wrong? She'd probably just cooperated and put her life in her hands. Zhu Ning could have his own life cut short, but he couldn't have the entire team's life cut short.
Bai Cheng was surprised. She had expected Zhu Ning to be shocked and despairing, but she seemed to have recovered. She asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhu Ning quickly flipped through her notebook and said, "Sister Bai, the zombies are all running here. Either there's food here, or these brains are zombie brains, and they want to come back to retrieve their memories. In any case, there's something special about this place that attracts them."
Bai Cheng quickly understood Zhu Ning's idea. They had found the answer. They were close to the source of pollution and found the most dangerous place.
But Bai Cheng is not afraid of death, so it doesn't matter.
Bai Cheng felt more and more that this deal was a good deal. Young people were just interesting. She was just curious about how Zhu Ning would kill the source of pollution in this state.
Zhu Ning has been thinking about something. There must be a strategy for their team division. Including the two Bai Chengs, there are five people in total. Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng are in group one with Bai Cheng, and Zhu Ning is in group two with Bai Cheng.
No one from Bai Cheng offered help. Fifteen-year-old Zhu Ning had very poor abilities, and she didn't have a teammate who could save her life. What would she do if she encountered danger?
Zhu Ningke is constantly declining, and what is declining is not only her memory, but also her abilities.
Perhaps for Zhu Ning, who possesses all superpowers, this situation is very simple and can be easily solved by just raising his finger.
After all, he just keeps losing his memory, and other than that, the direct lethality doesn't seem to be particularly great?
But for Zhu Ning now, she is still practicing shooting targets, and she probably won’t be able to hit a living thing accurately. This damn place is no different from hell.
Zhu Ning was able to use the master key to open the door because she operated it directly after touching it. She still didn't know where to find the mechanical sound in her head just now.
So why is the formation set up like this?
Do you think Zhu Ning has some instincts that won't be lost?
Zhu Ning quickly wrote down the contents in her notebook. Even at this time, she did not give up on passing the information to the next self. Perhaps this memory would disappear soon. She wrote very quickly and finally carved two strokes on the helmet.
Zhu Ning raised his head, his eyes darkened, and asked, "Are you closed?"
Someone had closed the narrow door from the outside, and Zhu Ning was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice it at all.
Bai Cheng: "No."
Bai Cheng just followed Zhu Ning and agreed to only provide memories and not interfere with any unnecessary actions.
Zhu Ning frowned. Was the door locked from the outside? Or did something get in and close the door behind them?
An Shi.
She was the only empty glass tank on this wall. What form was she in? Did the experiment fail and mutate?
Zhu Ning's first reaction was to touch the student ID card. After seeing the student ID card, he almost threw it away. It was a standard student ID card with the student's name and student number written at the bottom.
Part of the photo is a full-body shot, with the person standing in front of a curtain wearing a red school uniform, except for the head.
The cut on the neck was particularly clean, as if it had been cut directly with a large guillotine used to cut photos or paper.
Zhu Ning felt as if there were dense ants crawling on his body, and the photo in his student ID card turned out to be a headless female corpse.
She froze for a moment. Being brave was her nature. Zhu Ning had never known how to hide in the world. She raised her head and looked at the empty glass jar. Her pupils shrank. There was a human head in the empty glass jar.
This was definitely not the first time Zhu Ning saw An Shi's face, but she had forgotten it before, resulting in only the shock left when they first met. Her bangs were floating in the green potion, and there was more white in her eyes, looking straight at her.
Zhu Ning shot immediately after seeing this. This time she pulled the trigger successfully and the bullet hit the glass jar. Blood dyed the green water red, creating an indescribable mixture.
It was Zhu Ning's first time using this gun, and her fingers were sore from the huge recoil. After she fired the gun, she paused and thought again, what am I doing?
Where am I?
Her memory rapidly regressed to the age of fourteen. At that time, she had a fight with a boy. It seemed that he bullied a classmate. Zhu Ning couldn't stand it and fought with him. Her face was covered with wounds. The teacher asked her to call his parents. The boy's parents came quickly, apologized, wrote a self-criticism and left.
But Zhu Yao was too busy at work and had no time to come, so Zhu Ning was teaching and standing alone at the punishment station.
That day, the other students left one after another. The dean felt that he had to cure Zhu Ning's bad habit and asked her to stay until dark.
As night fell, the whole school was quiet. The dean was silent, and Zhu Ning was also silent. She refused to write a self-criticism.
Now when she looked up, she was faced with a whole wall of heads, as if a seed had just sprouted, broken through the soil, and was washed away by a stream of water.
Zhu Ning was shocked. A human head was rolling at his feet. There were countless tubes inserted into the head. There were actually growths under the neck. A pair of hands and a pair of feet grew out. The head assembled on the spot like a monster, and then suddenly crawled towards Zhu Ning.
At fourteen, still in junior high school, Zhu Ning wanted to yell, "Mom! Help!"
Just like the first time she cooked, she set the kitchen on fire. Every time her mother was at home, she would shout, "Mom, help!" whenever she encountered any problem.
Her mom is super awesome.
Junior high school student Zhu Ning instinctively sought help, but soon discovered that her mother would at most appear in the kitchen to help put out the fire, and there was no way she would appear in this ghost place.
Zhu Ning still had the gun in her hand. Her mind didn't move, but her fingers moved first. She pulled the trigger and fired two shots, neither of which hit the target. Coach Zhang, the shooting trainer, might beat her up and not even want to acknowledge her as a student.
As soon as Zhu Ning lowered her head, the head had already grabbed her trouser leg and climbed up the pole, leaving wet green water wherever it passed. Zhu Ning struggled hard, but it was of no use.
She met those strange eyes and was stunned. She lost her memory again, this time her memory regressed to the age of thirteen.
Zhu Ning's last memory was doing homework with her neighbor sister downstairs in the community. Her mother disliked her poor study attitude and left her to the neighbor sister who was a top student to help with her homework.
The neighbor's sister looked at her worriedly, thinking that Zhu Ning would have no choice but to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts when she grew up. She patiently asked her, "This question is a variation of the previous one. It's very simple. Take another look."
Zhu Ning looked down and felt that the two questions looked exactly the same. This was not a deformation but a mutation.
Now Zhu Ning lowered his head and saw a pair of human eyes. An Shi's head looked like an octopus, and its limbs seemed to have suction cups that were firmly attached to the surface of the helmet.
So Zhu Ning had to look, there was nowhere to hide. Those eyes were directly in front of Zhu Ning. If it weren't for the helmet, Zhu Ning's eyeballs would be able to touch hers.
Zhu Ning was frightened to the point of going crazy. The thirteen-year-old kid couldn't stand this kind of shock. She couldn't hide or escape, and it was useless to call her mother. Her vision was blocked, and half of her eyes were covered, so she retreated in embarrassment.
Zhu Ning heard banging sounds outside, more glass jars cracked, the ground was wet, and countless human heads crawled towards her.
Zhu Ning didn't know who stepped on the pipe and fell into the calf-deep green water pool. He could swim and was wearing a helmet, but he couldn't get up and was about to be drowned by this thing.
Hundreds of heads, all with stranger faces, pounced on Zhu Ning like insects. Zhu Ning didn't know that after the glass jar broke, other zombies rushed here as if they smelled the fragrance.
Pei Shu was driving a speeding car. His task was to attract firepower. It was effective at the beginning. Zombies were all brainless idiots. He threw bombs down like throwing a handful of fish food in the water, and the zombies ran over here happily.
But Pei Shu soon discovered that no matter how hard he tried, no matter how many bombs he threw, even if he performed fancy flying in front of the zombies, he could not attract the other party's attention.
The zombie tide has turned and headed towards the teaching building, and its destination is exactly where Zhu Ning is. The window of Zhu Ning's classroom is broken. Pei Shu deliberately lowered his flying car and approached the classroom. The situation inside is worse than he thought. It is packed like an early morning bus. Pei Shu can't see where Zhu Ning is at all.
The car had limited firepower, and Pei Shu could hardly provide assistance from the car. He was thinking about not getting out of the car. His fire ability could be of some use if he was next to Zhu Ning. If the source of the pollution was found, he could take action.
Pei Shu also didn't understand. Zhu Ning didn't have anyone to protect her. What if she regressed to her childhood? Not only would she not be able to use her superpowers, she wouldn't even be able to understand the clues left behind. So how far had she progressed?
What exactly was the black vortex that Pei Shu drew on his notebook before?
Lin Xiaofeng sat in the passenger seat, her memory had regressed to when she was eight years old.
Her last memory was in the photo studio. Her father asked her to smile at the camera. Lin Xiaofeng let her father manipulate her like a doll, smiling at the camera so hard that her face became stiff.
When I woke up, I was here. There was a sea of fire underground and corpses running everywhere, like flowers dug out of a greenhouse and thrown into the fields. There were jackals and wild beasts all around.
Lin Xiaofeng's first reaction was that she had been kidnapped, or that she was a stalker. She was so frightened that she was shaking and asked, "Who are you?"
Pei Shu had a headache and was stunned when he heard Lin Xiaofeng's question. Who is he?
He is Pei Shu. He has just joined the investigation team and is a newcomer to the team. It is his first time to go out of the wall, and he feels very curious about the world outside the wall.
They are investigators, determined to find the source of the world's pollution and uncover the truth behind the fall.
Pei Shu felt that his brain was not normal, as if a string was about to break. He was not sure about his own condition. He knew that his name was Pei Shu, but hearing this question was so strange that he became philosophical and confused. Yes, who is he?
Who is he besides Pei Shu?
…
Bai Cheng felt that the matter seemed to be over. The zombies outside had found this classroom and were crowded with them. The door was so narrow that so many people could not fit in. The zombies blocked the door and kept stretching their arms inside.
It was like an old movie she had seen before, with so many zombies' arms huddled together.
It was too late for Bai Cheng to run, and she didn't want to run that much. Her body was insignificant to her. If one was gone, there would be another.
She was a corpse, and the zombies had little interest in her. None of the zombies tried to crawl on her.
She is an outsider. This polluted area deprives her of her memory and cognition, but never of Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng watched Zhu Ning being thrown into the green liquid. Because she was covered with human heads, he couldn't see where she was. It was as if Zhu Ning was in the wild and accidentally fell into the river, and her body was dismembered by the crocodiles at the bottom of the water.
Bai Cheng thought about it and did not take action. Instead, he did what a bounty hunter should do.
She has a scale in her heart, and believes in fair trade, not in being a hero.
Bai Cheng stood by the wall and said, "Your name is Zhu Ning. You lost your memory and came to the teaching building to look for clues. You entered a secret room filled with human heads. You found An Shi, who was missing from her student ID. You looked at her helmet, and there was information written on it..."
Bai Cheng kept muttering like Tang Monk, repeating these words over and over again.
Zhu Ning's memory regressed to the age of eleven.
She had to experience amnesia every time because she was close to An Shi's eyes, causing the speed of amnesia to increase almost exponentially, leaving no room for breathing, and she would lose her memory once every two minutes.
She listened to Bai Cheng's prompts, and just reacted after reading two lines of the helmet. After finishing reading, she lost her memory again.
She is like a goldfish always searching for memories, doing useless work over and over again, too quickly.
It's like building a sand fort on the beach. As soon as you finish building a model, it is hit and submerged by the waves, and you have to start all over again.
This time, Zhu Ning was only nine years old.
She was in Chinese class and the teacher was muttering. Zhu Ning had a little ADHD when she was a child and couldn't sit still. She looked at the clouds outside the window and imagined that it was not a cloud, but an alien spaceship.
Children love to fantasize that aliens are going to attack the earth. Zhu Ning will suddenly stand up from his seat and fight the aliens to the death. In the blink of an eye, he finds that he is really fighting with something, a pair of eyes.
Zhu Ning was trapped in the water and could no longer struggle. She felt the weight of a mountain and countless heads were attached to her. As she floated up and down, she looked at the helmet panel, which was covered with small words engraved on it. The rows were particularly dense, and a few words stood out.
Your name is Zhu Ning and your mother's name is Zhu Yao.
This sentence once guided her. Every time she lost her memory, Zhu Ning would draw strength from this sentence.
Now Zhu Ning was listening to Bai Cheng's hint and his eyes were a little blurry when he saw this sentence. It seemed that he could not get any more information.
Her attention was drawn to another sentence, or to be more precise, a word: swallow.
This word covers all the information and stands out, as if all other information is unimportant, who she is is unimportant, who her mother is is unimportant, only this information is the most important.
What to swallow? How to swallow?
Zhu Ning's body instinctively opened its mouth, like a baby instinctively looking for food.
She felt something surging out from the back of her neck, like a palm made of asphalt, gently wrapping Zhu Ning's body. Normally, Zhu Ning would find this thing particularly disgusting, but now she only felt it was familiar, like seeing the big dog at home in a dangerous time.
Rustling——
The black slime made a sound as it squirmed, and it drilled out of the gap in the helmet, instantly wrapping around the helmet, physically isolating the line of sight between Zhu Ning and An Shi, and then rolled up, like a large creature eating.
The monster on his face let out a sharp roar, and Zhu Ning felt his face relax, as if the restraints had been released.
The last message left on the helmet was "devour". If she encountered a source of pollution, she would definitely devour it. Zhu Ning could do it regardless of her age. This was not an ability from the system panel, but an instinctive appetite.
The alien species that are usually suppressed dare not move without orders, and will only appear after sensing accurate instructions.
For a moment, Zhu Ning didn't know whether she was more terrifying or the monster opposite her was more terrifying. She heard a crackling sound coming from her body, as if she was chewing carefully.
It was clearly the black slime that was devouring the monster, but Zhu Ning thought she was eating it with her own mouth. She lay on a human head, eating raw meat and drinking blood. She bit the monster's face hard, bite by bite, tearing off a piece of bloody flesh. When she raised her head, the corners of her mouth were covered with the monster's blood.
Zhu Ning didn't know why he felt a little lost, as if he suddenly discovered that he was not a human being at all, but a terrible monster.
In the eerie laboratory behind the classroom, the walls were filled with broken glass tanks, human heads drowned her, and the green liquid was filled with black slime.
Crunching sounds of chewing were heard, and Zhu Ning's body became lighter and lighter, with the bones of the skull covering her body.
She raised her arm gently, and a head rolled off her arm, and An Shi could no longer see it.
It was like a dream, but also not like a dream, because young Zhu Ning had no imagination. He dreamed of such a terrifying monster and didn't even know what he had defeated.
The zombies that were trying to get in through the door stopped biting. This polluted area was being purified. It would be easy for her to find the source of the pollution and eat it, but Zhu Ning had no idea about it.
Should I be happy?
Zhu Ning was belatedly aware of the situation and felt a surge of excitement. With his childish nature, he immediately put aside his sense of loss and thought that his superpowers were incredibly cool.
Green potion flowed from her body, the ground was filled with rotten flesh, and familiar contaminated spores precipitated out, blood-red like fireflies. The entire contaminated area collapsed rapidly, and then the contaminated spores actually gathered towards her, as if they had seen their true master.
Children love to fantasize. They imagine that they have super powers, or if they are a little more like a middle school student, they can destroy the world with a snap of their fingers.
Nine-year-old Zhu Ning was very excited. There was a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had won the game. Fireworks exploded on the screen and the victory icon appeared.
VICTORY!
But the happiness did not last long, the devoured memories were recovering quickly, as if a hand pressed the reverse button, and the destroyed things were recovering.
Zhu Ning's memories gradually revived: nine years old, ten years old, fifteen years old...
Just like the animated picture of apes evolving into humans, the soul inside Zhu Ning's body is growing taller.
When she was young, Zhu Ning was naughty and had a little ADHD. Sometimes her teachers liked her very much, but sometimes they were annoyed by her. She always fantasized about saving the world.
Before the age of eighteen, Zhu Ning's life was simple, and most of his troubles came from playing games.
Later, the zombie crisis broke out. Zhu Ning crossed the danger and found Zhu Yao who had become a zombie. She picked up a gun and killed her mother with her own hands, and wandered alone in the zombie world.
She met friends, formed alliances, killed friends, and the cycle continued.
After an explosion, Zhu Ning woke up in a wasteland world. Faced with a desperate situation, he began to look for a job.
She entered the cleaning center to sweep up garbage and met many new friends. She was finally no longer alone.
Xu Meng, Li Nianchuan and Zhu Ning form a cleaning team. Every time they go out to sweep the garbage, they encounter some accidents.
Zhu Ning met Song Zhizhang, the owner of the Noble Queen Store, got to know Lin Xiaofeng, lived in his house, and even smashed his store.
She could remember the three of them going to the ski resort together. Song Zhizhang held Lin Xiaofeng's hand and walked in front. Zhu Ning followed behind, lowering his head to admit his mistake and listening to Song Zhizhang's muttering.
She met Huo Wenxi, and Team Leader Huo repeatedly protected her and made her her ally.
She knew Liu Niannian and maintained a wonderful friendship with the eldest lady.
Zhu Ning thought at that time that she could solve everything. The so-called doomsday crisis was just one of many tasks, and she would definitely be able to complete it. She entered the hotel of the Eternal Life Pharmaceutical Foundation with such naive ideas.
Then...Xu Meng died.
Finally, the doomsday crisis broke out in District 103, and Song Zhizhang died in battle.
Zhu Ning stood in the contaminated spores, the smile on his face no longer rising, but frozen, the corners of his mouth drooping little by little, and finally becoming expressionless.
Clearly, all the power in this area was flowing towards her, and clearly, all her memories were recovering, but she only felt a continuous loss.
Zhu Ning seemed to have lived her life again. Every detail that she had wanted to forget and deliberately ignored before could be clearly seen.
The polluted spores flew around her and were swallowed by the black slime. She stood alone, repeating her fate in the zombie world and continued to wander in the wasteland.
Deprived and then given again, Zhu Ning couldn't refuse.
"Hello, are you guys okay?" Pei Shu's voice came from the communicator, mixed with the sound of electricity. The communication was restored, interrupting Zhu Ning's memories.
Bai Cheng clung to the wall with one hand. She thought Zhu Ning was dead for sure. It turned out that the one who was called the true god would not die so easily. It was the first time that Bai Cheng witnessed someone "swallowing" the contaminated spores alive.
From Bai Cheng's perspective, countless blood-red contaminated spores were released after the collapse of the contaminated area. She had seen many contaminated spores, but never like these. It was like a gust of wind, converging towards Zhu Ning, and Zhu Ning digested it all naturally.
He really looks like a god.
No wonder Area 103 is so clean after purification. The pollution concentration is directly reduced to 0. This is the real purification.
Zhu Ning heard the real voice and his attention returned to reality.
Now the memories are superimposed in her brain. She remembers what she did in this contaminated area. There are marks on her helmet, like the draft paper she left behind for the exam, all of which are traces of verification.
She also remembered finding the black square, which was still in her backpack, and was certain that Zhu Yao had lived here.
The walls of glass tanks and debris were all over the place, which meant that this was not fabricated in the contaminated area. These devices already existed, which meant that Zhu Yao really conducted experiments here.
The first stop after leaving the wall was a contaminated area arranged by someone. Zhu Yao must have done it on purpose. She was completely different from the mother in Zhu Ning's memory, and there were still many questions that remained unanswered.
It's so tiring. I have to decrypt the contaminated area and there are a lot of useless things I haven't done.
Zhu Ning stretched and loosened her muscles. Her neck made a cracking sound. She just experienced the feeling of her childhood again.
Always have expectations for the future and always strive forward.
It’s great to be young and energetic.
Many people cannot understand this. Zhu Ning felt it briefly and had already gained something. It was as if the Zhu Ning of his childhood was gone, but some of his energy remained in his body.
Zhu Ning stretched and felt refreshed, feeling a little lighter. She opened her phone and replied, "I'm fine."
