289 Fungal City (XI)
Death occurs immediately after the heartbeat accelerates.
For a sniper, a tiny bit of mold is large enough to be seen clearly.
No. 0056 froze in place as a bullet was fired from the direction of the corridor. The bullet spun past and when it was one meter away from him, a black silk thread wrapped around the bullet.
The bullets fell to the ground with a ding-dong sound like two halves of a cut watermelon. The next moment, rusty steel bars covered with cement and mold fell from the sky. She had brought tons of steel from the abandoned construction site.
An electric drill suddenly appeared in the air, and corrosive potion fell from the sky.
Fortunately, Zhu Ning had a wealthy family and more weapons at her disposal. In such a chaotic time, she had lost sight of No. 0056. It seemed as if she had buried him directly.
Qi Xueliu quickly took two steps back and heard a loud bang. Tons of steel smashed a crack in the street slabs and even crushed several mold monsters to death.
Dust was flying everywhere, and Qi Xueliu had no time to pay attention to the mold monster that was crawling up again behind her. Instead, she stared at the target without blinking.
Zhu Ning's plan was quite simple. He would use the patterns of the contaminated area to make No. 0056 take shape. Once seen, he would immediately launch an attack, so intensively that people would have no time to react.
The location of No. 0056 has become a ruin. Qi Xueliu's fingers are trembling. Did it succeed?
So fast?
Just as Qi Xueliu was thinking this, the ruins in the middle of the street moved. The surface of the steel ruins was neatly fractured, and a figure stood up from the ruins.
From Qi Xueliu's perspective, she just happened to see the front of No. 0056. His body was originally made up of countless black lines, and the lines on his face were constantly entangled at a very fast speed, as if he was very angry.
No. 0056 still had moldy arms, but the shoulder area seemed to have collapsed vaguely, which might be due to the effect of the corrosive potion.
It didn't work. Zhu Ning's large-scale attack just now only caused the opponent to scratch the skin. Even if he could see the target, there was still a gap in their combat effectiveness.
And through this attack, Zhu Ning exposed his position.
Sure enough, No. 0056 looked up at the corridor. It was also the first time that Qi Xueliu saw the entire process of No. 0056's attack up close. A black line was like a swimming snake, but she only saw the first moment and could not find any trace of the weapon afterwards.
call--
There was that horrifying sound of the whip again, like the prelude to death.
Under the threat of the black line, the street was as soft as a piece of cake. The black line cut off the five-story outer walls of the four houses together, and would rather expand the attack range than let Zhu Ning escape.
But this is a city of mold, or perhaps it is too close to the source of pollution. The silk thread passed across the surface of the building, and before long, mold grew at the cut and gradually healed.
Qi Xueliu wanted to look again, but her legs were already covered with mold.
In addition to Zhu Ning, this street is also threatened by mold. Although the lethality of this thing is not immediate, it will still kill people once it is completely moldy.
It has to be said that this weakened the combat effectiveness of their team, and Qi Xueliu had to free up her hands to deal with the mold.
Behind her, countless Aunt Lan and Xiao Wu regrouped, like an army composed of countless mothers and sons.
She could no longer see any trace of No. 0056. He must have escaped into the corridor. The next battlefield was near the pollution source.
Qi Xueliu continued to fire bombs as usual, but the number of flame bombs was decreasing. She was like a miserable traveler stuck in a mud pit, with mold entwined around her relentlessly.
The flames burned, but the momentum became more and more strange. Qi Xueliu fired at the newly condensed Aunt Lan and Xiao Wu, but the flames actually entangled Qi Xueliu herself.
Pei Shu.
The fire-type mutant seemed to have taken advantage of the chaos and sneaked in. Did Pei Shu want to burn Qi Xueliu to death?
Pei Shu's role is not to assist Zhu Ning. His goal has always been clear, which is to prevent other forces from approaching Zhu Ning.
Prometheus's cold voice sounded in Qi Xueliu's mind. All his attention was used to control No. 0056, and he had very little energy on Qi Xueliu. He made a request at this time.
Kill Pei Shu.
…
Zhu Ning hid inside the corridor.
The moment the black line cut, she used skin hardening, and her whole body was covered with white, tooth-like substance. This thing was about the thickness of a palm and was embedded in the backs of Zhu Ning and Lin Xiaofeng, forming a defensive shield.
But now, the hardened surface of her skin was cut open by the black line, completely breaking through her defense and severing her spine.
Fortunately, there was a building for defense, otherwise she would have been killed by No. 0056 for the second time.
Black mucus squirmed at the spine, wrapping around Zhu Ning's wound. Blood had originally overflowed from the gap cut by the black line, and if it dripped onto the floor, it would reveal the trace. The black mucus was like a big wet tongue, rolling up Zhu Ning's blood and absorbing it again.
The good news is that Zhu Ning is not dead. The bad news is that she is now completely moldy.
The mold was like a rising water level, submerging Zhu Ning's eyelids. Now she only had a patch of intact skin on her forehead.
In fact, her vision was already obstructed, but fortunately she had the God's perspective to help.
The system in Zhu Ning's mind was being reinstalled. This thing was quite smart. Unlike her time when reinstalling the system required a reboot, it actually gradually restored her abilities.
Lin Xiaofeng was carrying Zhu Ning on her back. They were on the stairs on the sixth floor. When No. 0056 cut the building, they immediately fled. With Zhu Ning's protection, Lin Xiaofeng was not injured.
Zhu Ning has no legs, Lin Xiaofeng is her legs.
They maintained transparency throughout the entire process. The feature of No. 0056 disappeared, but Zhu Ning did not.
Zhu Ning endured the pain in his back and said, "Let's go."
If it was Lin Xiaofeng a week ago, she would definitely be so nervous that her hands and feet would go limp. Then a terrifying black silk thread brushed past their backs.
But now Lin Xiaofeng was surprisingly calm. Maybe she had seen too many things. She knew that the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be. Zhu Ning's first goal had never been to kill No. 0056 right now.
She wanted to buy time to get close to the pollution source. Zhu Ning needed to reach the pollution source and complete the swallowing before 0056, so that she would have a chance of winning.
Doctor Saint lived on the sixth floor. Originally, they only knew that he lived on Moon Street, but didn't know the specific house number. Now it was very obvious. They saw a vortex in the room from the window.
The anti-theft door of 601 was covered with twists and turns of mold. While other people's doors had couplets or blessing characters hanging on them, this house's door was covered with thick mold, looking eerie and ghostly, like a wet grave in the rainy season.
Lin Xiaofeng was a little stunned. He really didn't dare to touch the door. Besides, how could he open it? There was such thick mold. Was he going to shoot it open?
Zhu Ning used the master key, and with a buzz, the lock of the security door popped open, revealing a narrow gap in Room 601.
The temperature inside is definitely ten degrees lower than outside, and it's so cold that you want to shiver as soon as you open the door.
Before Zhu Ning opened the door, there was a sudden buzzing sound in his head, and the danger prediction function was activated.
She was at the gate of Songshan Temple when the 0056 attack cut half of her body off. At that time, she didn't even sense danger.
Since he became more powerful, the ability to predict danger seemed to have disappeared, and Zhu Ning often could not feel the existence of danger.
Zhu Ning saw his own death scene for the first time in a long time and died two minutes later.
The moment she opened the door, she saw the corpse on the wall opposite the door. The Saint Doctor was embedded in the wall. She was wearing a black sweater and had been dead for more than eighty years. Her limbs were spread out and fixed to the wall.
Threads of mold grew on the doctor's skin, and the mold had different colors, with a strange and cruel beauty, like a "corpse painting" in a perverted collector's home.
The doctor's mouth was opened to a degree that was difficult for an ordinary person to open. Half of her head was embedded in the wall, and countless molds crawled out of her mouth. Zhu Ning opened the door and just saw her eyes.
The Saint Doctor's moldy eyes turned, and surprisingly, he was not completely dead, but seemed to have a breath of life.
Pei Shu was right. This was completely different from the pollutants inside the wall. There was no such thing as eliminating resentment. There was no such thing as good being rewarded with good and evil being punished with evil.
As victims, Doctor Saint, and Aunt Lan, Xiao Wu and the like seem so fair in the environment of the polluted world. They have all become creatures from another world.
In the danger prediction, Zhu Ning entered the room. Not counting the artificial area of the zombie city, this was her first time to enter the contaminated area outside the wall in a real sense, and also her first time to encounter a real source of pollution.
Zhu Ning raised her arm towards the doctor's body, black mucus wriggling on her arm, but before she could do anything, she suddenly heard a plop.
Lin Xiaofeng knelt down on her knees, limply kneeling on the ground. Zhu Ning was carried on her back and was also forced to fall to the ground, and the black mucus was retracted.
"Zhu... Ning?" Lin Xiaofeng was very confused about his current situation and murmured as if asking for help.
It's not just Lin Xiaofeng, Zhu Ning herself as well. Her body is rapidly rotting and melting. Before, her body was just moldy and her mobility was still there, but now she can hardly even control her fingers.
Let’s use the moldy orange as an example. It is rotten to the extreme, emitting a foul stench of corruption and is about to turn into a pool of corpse water.
When Zhu Ning looked up, she was met with a pair of moldy and rotten eyes. The doctor's corpse looked down at her condescendingly.
The mold in Doctor Saint's mouth multiplied rapidly, and it was like poking an ant nest, flooding towards Zhu Ning in a black mass. Zhu Ning, who was completely rotten, had no power to fight back, and the mold directly swallowed her up.
Zhu Ning didn't even have the chance to struggle, and died immediately after his heartbeat accelerated.
Not only did Zhu Ning die, but Lin Xiaofeng also died at the same time.
It is worthy of being the polluted area outside the wall. No. 0056 may not be the most terrifying one, but this pollution source is.
But now, even if Zhu Ning wanted to choose to escape, she had no chance. No. 0056 would arrive soon, and she had to come up with a new plan within this time.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Zhu Ning with some confusion. Zhu Ning's original plan was to attract the attention of No. 0056, seize the time to "eat", and then counterattack after gaining strength.
Zhu Ning estimated that, considering the incredible strength of No. 0056, they could gain about thirty seconds to one minute.
These were the golden thirty seconds in a race, which were hard-earned. Why did Zhu Ning suddenly hesitate?
Zhu Ning paused as he held the door handle. He really couldn't think of any solution in a short time. This seemed like an unsolvable situation. It turned out that the pollution source outside the wall was the most dangerous.
Calm down and think again.
Zhu Ning watched the scenes played in the danger prediction frame by frame, trying to find clues like a detective. Apart from the "corpse painting", were there any other details?
The entrance is located in the foyer, where takeout boxes are piled up like mountains, instant noodle boxes and beverage bottles are scattered on the coffee table, and there are fruit peels on the ground.
This really doesn't look like a doctor's residence. There are no lights on and it's dark and gloomy everywhere, which is very suitable for growing mold.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like an overly moldy house, nothing too unusual.
What was overlooked? There must be something wrong.
Zhu Ning was thinking when he suddenly felt Lin Xiaofeng's hand tremble and the mold on the wall moved. It must be an invasion by outsiders. Before Zhu Ning could think of the answer, No. 0056 had already arrived.
There's no time.
