278 mold
The mold on the wall moved.
Rustle, rustle—
Deep in the forest, grass and trees more than one meter high were swaying gently, as if some wild animal was moving among them, but the naked eye could not see what kind of creature it was.
Lin Xiaofeng was running fast with Zhu Ning on his back. Zhu Ning only had the upper body. Bai Cheng helped her to secure it and even taught her some energy-saving tips for carrying a corpse.
Pei Shu was speechless at the time, complaining about who wanted to learn how to carry corpses to save energy, but he did not say anything to stop him.
Before leaving, Pei Shu taught Lin Xiaofeng some tips: the places with weak pollution are the exits, and the places with high pollution concentration are the pollution sources.
Most people would look for an exit to leave, but considering that Zhu Ning feeds on pollution sources, Lin Xiaofeng would handle it himself.
It is impossible to survive in a polluted area for a long time because it will definitely be assimilated. However, short-term survival is possible. The key is to follow the other party's pollution logic and not do anything illogical.
The reason is simple. Don't be an outlier, and you won't be discovered, and you can achieve a strange situation of peaceful coexistence.
Lin Xiaofeng listened carefully when Pei Shu was speaking, afraid of missing any details. Since time was short, Pei Shu only talked about the important things.
"You're quite smart." Pei Shu touched Lin Xiaofeng's head. "Alive."
Bai Cheng also placed his cold palm on Lin Xiaofeng's head and said mechanically, "Alive."
Live, Lin Xiaofeng also said to himself.
In addition to carrying Zhu Ning, Lin Xiaofeng also carried a huge medical bag and Zhu Ning's food "contaminant". She had two tasks. The first was to take good care of Zhu Ning and deal with emergencies.
The second is to reach the destination and stay alive in the contaminated area until Pei Shu and Bai Cheng arrive.
Pei Shu and Bai Cheng had other tasks. They had to divert the attention of the mysterious weapon, so Lin Xiaofeng was moving forward on foot.
Before she had an affair, Zhu Ning had injected her with genetic drugs, which strengthened her body to a certain extent, but it was obviously not enough at this time because there was a dog chasing her from behind.
Lin Xiaofeng felt like her heart and lungs were about to explode. She had never run for so long in one breath before. There was a tracking dog behind her, and the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter.
Before, there were endless trees and grass, but suddenly the outline of a city appeared in front of me. There were no neon lights in the city, and it was pitch black. The destination that Pei Shu mentioned had arrived.
But Lin Xiaofeng couldn't brake the car, or there were pursuers behind him, so braking was meaningless. Lin Xiaofeng's feet slipped and he rolled down the hillside.
She tried her best to protect Zhu Ning, but she couldn't move her hands back from the position where she was carried on her back, so Lin Xiaofeng could only hug her face. Song Zhizhang had taught her how to defend herself.
Her protective suit had been specially modified to compensate for her fragile defense system. She understood the key point as she rolled down. If this plan was to go ahead, nothing could happen to her.
As it rolled over, the pursuer behind it seemed to slow down a bit. The slope was too steep, and the human-faced dog was looking for a suitable landing point.
But Lin Xiaofeng was practically rolling down. She held her head and couldn't even see what was happening around her. It was like she was thrown into a washing machine, which stirred her internal organs and dislocated them. The gravel made her whole body ache.
Finally, she rolled to the bottom of the slope. Lin Xiaofeng climbed up quickly. Her left calf was broken. She touched it and found Zhu Ning was wrapped in a body bag and did not fall. Bai Cheng's method of carrying corpses was really effective.
Lin Xiaofeng didn't care about that. In front of him was a dilapidated city with a collapsed bridge and vines growing on the buildings.
Lin Xiaofeng pressed the powerful healing agent on her shoulder, and the cold liquid was injected into the muscles. Her legs and feet were not so easy to recover, so she dragged her broken leg forward, bent down and hid in an abandoned building.
This was an abandoned residential building. Lin Xiaofeng jumped into the basement through the broken window. She was so exhausted that she couldn't walk at all. Her throat was burning with pain, so she could only find a place to hide.
If it were her in the past, she would definitely want to cry in pain, but at this moment, she didn't shed a single tear. She quickly untied the body bag, revealing Zhu Ning's pale face. There was no blood on Zhu Ning's face, and the hole on his forehead was pitch black, like a new eye.
Zhu Ning's temperature was too high, definitely around 45 degrees. If a human had a fever to this degree, it would easily damage their brain.
Lin Xiaofeng had never done such an urgent task before. She was just about to go and check on Zhu Ning's condition when she heard some noise outside.
A dog appeared near the city, and the broken glass made a crunching sound as its paws stepped on it.
Lin Xiaofeng immediately held her breath. She hugged Zhu Ning like a doll, holding her tightly in her arms. She leaned against the wall with all her might, pressing her body tightly against it, for fear of being seen.
There was a narrow window in the basement, and the dim moonlight fell through and hit Lin Xiaofeng's feet.
The dog with a human face stopped. The actual distance between them was only one meter. Lin Xiaofeng could imagine that weird face, delicate and weird. If it was discovered, it might be torn to pieces.
Boom boom boom——
Lin Xiaofeng's heart was beating like a drum and her whole body was shivering. She was thinking frantically about what to do next.
She had a gun in her hand, which Zhu Ning had specially trained her in, but it takes years to master the accuracy of shooting. She also had great strength and could twist the dog's head off, but if the human-faced dog was more agile, she would be the one who suffered.
Levi swung his tail, the curve of his tail revealing that he was a little uneasy. He followed the invisible shadow, but once he entered the city, the obvious fragrance disappeared.
Levi raised his nose, which was straight and beautiful, and pressed it against the street floor. He suddenly frowned as if he smelled some poison.
There was a strong smell of corruption and mildew.
Levi has a keen sense of smell. He can not only smell traces, but even attributes. For example, the scent of Bai Cheng's corpse cannot be smelled by others, but he can.
But anything that was too smelly or too fragrant would sting his olfactory nerves. Now Levi's nose felt a little hot, as if he smelled mustard.
Where is this place?
Levi sneezed and looked at the city with disgust. This place looked not much different from the abandoned city outside the wall. It was equally dilapidated, with many human buildings covered by green plants. But there seemed to be an invisible haze hanging over the sky, which made Levi very uncomfortable and his sense of smell failed.
The blue halo on Levi's solar plexus flickered, and he received new instructions: stop searching and return to the team.
Levi looked at the dilapidated neighborhood thoughtfully. Many of the windows here were smashed. He could not see any clues with his naked eyes, so he could only whimper and return along the same route.
Lin Xiaofeng held Zhu Ning tightly, her blood seemed to be frozen. She was still worried when she heard the sound of the human-faced dog leaving. After a long time, there was only the sound of wind outside. It was dark and no light came in from the basement window.
Zhu Ning was almost strangled to death by her just now, and her pale face turned a little red. Lin Xiaofeng quickly let go of Zhu Ning and relieved her.
She gave Zhu Ning an injection of antipyretic drug. She only had five in total, so she had to use them sparingly.
After the injection, there was no obvious change in Zhu Ning's body temperature. It would probably take some time for the injection to take effect. Lin Xiaofeng thought about it and did not put Zhu Ning's head back into the body bag, wanting to leave a hole for her to breathe.
This basement was very dilapidated. There was a simple camp bed and a lot of plastic garbage scattered on the ground. It must have been a place where poor people lived in the past. There was a large patch of mold on the wall opposite Lin Xiaofeng, like a decorative painting.
Lin Xiaofeng rested for a while, remembering the warnings given to her by Bai Cheng and Pei Shu. The first step was that she needed to find the most original city map so that she knew where she was and could make plans.
Lin Xiaofeng's healing agent took effect, and her calf didn't hurt as much anymore. She carried Zhu Ning on her back again, like a vegetable farmer carrying her bamboo basket.
Lin Xiaofeng carefully opened the basement door and looked at the ground. Sure enough, the dog was gone.
Survival in a polluted area requires compliance with rules. Lin Xiaofeng has not yet figured out the rules here, so she is looking for a place to stay tonight.
After Lin Xiaofeng left, the mold on the wall moved, spread rapidly, and climbed out like a living thing.
…
Songshan Temple.
They professionally recovered Zhu Ning's remains, and found some chemical agents in the storage box, which were said to be sent back to the Federation for researchers to analyze.
The soft, white corpse lay there, transformed into a simple corpse, while the corpses of black birds covered the entire temple, making it a dark mass as far as the eye could see.
The trunk of the flying car was closed, and a person could be vaguely seen sitting in the back of the car through the black window. No. 0056 was motionless, probably in a static or dormant state. It seemed that he had the conditions to be activated and was not used unconditionally, which made Qi Xueliu temporarily relieved.
They were just following the breath, and suddenly felt a very terrifying breath spreading, as if someone was choking her throat.
The pursuit was forced to stop, Qi Xueliu returned to Songshan Temple to recover the body, and Levi went out to look for clues and had not returned yet.
Qi Xueliu closed the storage box, and Zhu Ning's arm was stored separately. Du Yiqi leaned beside her and watched her.
It was Du Yiqi, but to be more precise it should be Prometheus. Her temples were flashing with blue light, and half of her face was burned by flames, revealing the tissues inside. Qi Xueliu could even see some white bones.
Du Yiqi's nose was burned and his face was covered with blisters, but he still looked very elegant.
Qi Xueliu couldn't bear it. Du Yiqi had the soul of Prometheus in his body. Why could he use these mycelium people so naturally?
Qi Xueliu suppressed her expression and asked, "Do you want to continue pursuing me?"
Levi hadn't come back yet and they hadn't given any instructions on the next step. Qi Xueliu thought there was some new plan.
Prometheus: "We need to talk first."
Qi Xueliu stared at Du Yiqi's burned face and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"They were just one step away from certain death, but now they've escaped," Prometheus narrowed his eyes. "This is a bit troublesome, so we need to re-plan."
Qi Xueliu knew that Prometheus had taken over the team. Just like the last mission to sniper the demon in the second district, Qi Xueliu's command had to be handed over to him at any time.
It was the first time that Qi Xueliu had such a close and "face-to-face" conversation with Prometheus. This cold-spoken mushroom unexpectedly gave people a strong sense of oppression. He was very calm from beginning to end, with only one exception. When the unknown terror spread, he showed a very troubled expression.
Now that he has recovered as normal, Prometheus controlled Du Yiqi's body and said, "Zhu Ning's team is very united. They didn't choose to abandon the plan, which proves that they will do their best to protect it."
Du Yiqi himself particularly likes to make jokes, and now he is narrating in such a flat voice, which Qi Xueliu always feels disgusted.
Prometheus: "The team is small, but the teamwork is good. Pei Shu and Bai Cheng are both troublesome."
Unlike Qi Xueliu's team, those two are masters of surviving outside the wall, otherwise no one would be willing to pay a high price to hire them.
Qi Xueliu heard the hint of disgust, and Prometheus continued: "I guess they will enter the contaminated area, so that they can get rid of the dogs on our side. Sure enough, Levi's breath disappeared halfway through the pursuit, and he is temporarily useless."
Qi Xueliu said "oh" dryly, and even felt a little ironic when she heard the word "useless".
Prometheus looked up at the sunlight. He was trapped in his body and could not see the outside world except through the eyes of others.
“Their team is cohesive, but our team is not.”
Qi Xueliu's heart skipped a beat. No one was a fool. Everyone understood what Prometheus meant. He needed a united team. The others were all mycelium people, and only Qi Xueliu was an exception.
Qi Xueliu is also the only person that Prometheus cannot control at present. What does he want to do by suddenly saying this?
Prometheus: "I'm curious why you're participating in this kind of activity. According to my algorithm, you probably don't agree with my philosophy. There's about an 82% chance that you'll betray me."
At this point, Du Yiqi turned around. Du Yiqi had a cute appearance and a sweet voice originally, but now half of her face was burned. When she looked at him with that calm look, it was even scarier than seeing a ghost.
Snow-white hyphae emerged from his brain and covered the burned left side of Du Yiqi's face. He asked in Du Yiqi's voice, "Do you think this is right?"
