324 Toad Man (End)
◎Awake?◎
They need to kill a can.
It was a very bizarre order. The shelter had become a mental hospital with no doctors or nurses, only patients.
In this case, the order to kill the can becomes less absurd and more logical.
Bang!
I don’t know if it was an illusion caused by the infection or they really heard it, but the sound of the cans rolling seemed very abrupt among the toads’ calls.
In the chaotic crowd, cans rolled among pairs of feet.
In addition to the strong spiritual pollution, the biggest trouble here is that the enemies are constantly increasing. One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
There are now more than ninety people in the shelter, all densely packed with protective clothing.
The original source of the shelter came from a can, which followed the pilgrims all the way and may have merged with the pollution here after running into the shelter.
Where is the can?
Zhu Ning had already given the answer directly, they just needed to find the source of the pollution.
The gurgling sound was everywhere, as if everyone had a can in their head.
This is not a very difficult contaminated area to deal with. The reason they were able to fool them for so long was because of the characteristics of the cans. They are very inconspicuous and people will not have any impression even if they scan them.
Now that it has been discovered, it can't be very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be hiding all the time.
It was probably very scared and couldn't help but breathe heavily, causing its aluminum body to rustle.
The pollutants are under its control, and it fears Zhu Ning, so it will choose to pollute her at the first opportunity.
It also fears Bai Cheng, because this is the only person it cannot completely contaminate.
It can drive the devil Zhu Ning crazy, but Bai Cheng still remains sane.
The smile on Bai Cheng's lips widened a little, it was a signature female ghost smile.
We found it. There was a particularly dense area in the crowd, and the pollutants were like layers of protection, tightly surrounding a core point.
With so many people together, a stampede would easily occur in the ordinary human world. However, she could only see heads pressed close together.
But she knew the can was there.
This pollution source is very afraid of death. Its biggest trump card is that others don’t know about it. Once it is discovered that it is just the cans that are causing trouble, it will be exposed.
Bai Cheng is the only completely rational person here. The sniper mission is given to her, and everyone else is responsible for paving the way for her.
An Chi, who has the ability to become giant, is temporarily cooperating with Bai Cheng. They knew each other before, but they never got along and were considered sworn enemies. This time, Bai Cheng took the initiative to propose a partnership.
Outside the wall, there is a consensus in the bounty hunter circle that as long as Bai Cheng wants to help you, you can increase your chances of winning by at least 20%. This is why even after Bai Cheng killed her three employers, there are still people willing to hire her. Plastic people are born to walk outside the wall.
Bai Cheng said the source of pollution was a can.
When An Chi heard the news for the first time, he wanted to laugh, as if he was listening to a mental patient talking.
Bai Cheng hopes that An Chi will join their team instead of joining An Chi's side himself.
An Chi wanted to laugh even more when he heard this. Who is Bai Cheng hanging out with now? His personality has changed after not seeing him for a few years. He is much more arrogant than before.
Before An Chi could say anything, Bai Cheng's next words were like a bombshell. An Chi fell silent, and by the time he reacted, he had already followed Bai Cheng's actions.
An Chi has eight teammates around her. They are the only psychics she can find who are barely staying awake.
Bai Cheng's teammate is a fire man. His special ability is quite useful. The pollutants burned by him will not die immediately, but will flutter around with flames.
Because the more enemies are killed, the more they will appear, Pei Shu's flames can slow down the rate at which enemies increase.
Pei Shu turned the handle of the knife on his body. Instead of bleeding, his wound was oozing flames, which flickered with his breathing.
Pei Shu's mind was not very clear. Sometimes he was in a mental hospital, sometimes in a shelter. The two scenes overlapped and kept flashing.
But his attacks did not lose their accuracy. Even An Chi was a little puzzled. How did Pei Shu manage to go crazy and provide accurate assistance at the same time?
An Chi's right arm grew enormous. She was affectionately called Maine by her teammates, and some called her a gentle giant. The muscles in An Chi's upper arm swelled to the size of a telephone pole, and with a sweep of her massive arm, the other pollutants were like bowling balls being knocked over.
Bai Cheng actually had a good understanding with her. He stepped on her arms for leverage and moved through the crowd.
Bai Cheng hardly had to do anything. Wherever she went, it was extremely smooth and people around her would help her clear obstacles.
An Chi's arm retreated, the flame followed, the flame retreated, and a black arrow appeared out of nowhere and pierced the pollutant's head.
After the black arrow disappeared, it was immediately replaced by a curved bullet.
Probably everyone was going crazy, with only cans in their heads. The cans containing toads had connected to the grooves of their brains, and the noise came from inside their skulls.
In their madness, they were possessed by an even crazier thought, to kill a can.
When Bai Cheng was taking action, a piece of her helmet broke, revealing the lower half of her face. Because her body functions had not recovered, she had a signature Bai Cheng smile at the corner of her mouth, like a female ghost.
The female ghost Bai Cheng passed through layers of obstacles, leaving blood everywhere she passed. A human head was cut off by her teammates and flew into the air, splashing blood mist all over her.
Finally, Bai Cheng stood in front of a person. The noise around him was almost shrill, like countless crazy toads threatening him with their lives.
The closer you get to the pollution source, the more dangerous it is. Once the pollution source is discovered, they will attack.
But its attack power was not strong, and it could only perform some small tricks, which made it unable to struggle even when Bai Cheng was right in front of it.
Bai Cheng raised her hand. When she first met Zhu Ning, she was wearing a black raincoat and holding a hatchet in her hand. Now Bai Cheng had just found a handy weapon, which was an axe.
The axe hit a man's chest, as if it had hit the surface of an aluminum can. Bai Cheng's arm sank and pressed down all the way.
The pollution worsened, and even Bai Cheng began to have hallucinations, or the things that were hit were constantly changing.
Its face was sometimes Guo Zilin, sometimes Lao Liu, sometimes a green can, and sometimes a toad.
The picture flickered again and again, making people's heart beat faster and their minds more confused.
It stands to reason that all illusion-types have an outdated move, which is to transform into the enemy's most beloved or most hated person in the end, in an attempt to cause her mental fluctuations, which will easily lead to a mental breakdown.
But Bai Cheng has lost most of her memories. How can a plastic person like her have so much love, hate, and vengeance?
Bai Cheng's right hand split the pollutant's chest, and her left hand reached into its chest. The body she passed through did not look like a human body, but like a piece of rotten meat.
What was beating beneath this man's chest was not a living heart, but a toad beating its eardrum.
Bai Cheng's hand poked into the squirming toad. There was a faded can in the toad's stomach. It had been rolling outside the wall for who knows how many years and was fragile and vulnerable. It was a product of human industry.
Bai Cheng could even feel its emotions when she touched it. The can was afraid, and the thin aluminum can trembled against her fingers.
An Chi saw the body of the can. The surface of the can that had been pinched was uneven. Combined with the appearance of the toad, the can looked like a toad's skin.
The Sprite bottle itself is green, and the toad is olive green, so the combination is surprisingly harmonious.
The sound of a toad croaking from inside the can is gradually fading.
An Chi couldn't believe that such a piece of trash could make them lose their minds and fall into disordered madness in just a few hours. Three people with special abilities died in front of her.
When those people died, they probably never thought that what killed them was a weak can. It was not even fierce enough and could not help but get scared when it was found.
When walking outside the wall, it is easy for people to die at the hands of things they despise, such as a flower, a blade of grass, or even a gust of wind, and die inexplicably.
If the source of pollution is not dealt with, hallucinations will continue to spread, and mental pollution will cause brain damage over time.
The attack paused briefly after the can was pinched, then intensified. The pollutants surged in like a tide. An Chi suppressed his urge to kill. "Kill it."
The thing was very small, and Bai Cheng could crush the can with just a move of her hands, but she didn't move.
It is a waste for Bai Cheng to kill the pollution source, so Zhu Ning must do it.
…
The iron bars of the shelter's cage were twisted, as if they had been crushed and then kneaded again.
Zhu Ning sat cross-legged with a helmet on his face, like a Buddha statue away from all the chaos.
Zhu Ning's cellmate has died. He died in a very tragic way. His body kept turning into a toad and a lot of strange liquid was leaking out.
Zhu Ning just sat there with her head lowered. Others couldn't see that she had been bound by the threads of consciousness. The red lines came out of her body and the other end connected to the wall.
While waiting for Bai Cheng to take action, she only did one thing, like a spider weaving a web, trapping herself completely in the cage of consciousness.
She could see part of the battlefield from a God's perspective, but Zhu Ning didn't follow her and her hallucination spread. She saw cracks opening up in the ground and cans walking out hand in hand in a line.
She saw her skin sprouting, growing green branches, and densely packed eyeballs opening on her arms.
Even memories that did not belong to him appeared in his mind. Zhu Ning saw a tall black tower in the wilderness. On the top of the tower stood a black crow. The crow was extremely quiet, with its eyes motionless, like a sculpture.
Zhu Ning had never seen this place before. It was filled with a chilling and eerie atmosphere, and he couldn't tell what was so strange about it.
Zhu Ning stared at the crow for a long time without moving. It was as if they were in a standoff, unable to blink even if their eyeballs were ruptured.
Zhu Ning played a game with himself, suppressing his surging attack power.
Bai Cheng appeared at the door, holding her breath. All the psychics couldn't help but tremble, and An Chi even took two steps back.
Zhu Ning is the most terrifying creature in the shelter. She can make people feel scared just when she is in a stable state.
They are like servants who come to be sacrificed to the devil.
Bai Cheng took a deep breath. She wasn't afraid of Zhu Ning. The more powerful the employer, the more she liked him. Zhu Ning was the strongest she had ever served. Bai Cheng walked to the edge of the cage, knelt on one knee, and struck the ground with the bloody axe.
Just like a snap of fingers during hypnosis to wake someone up, the sound made by Bai Cheng made Zhu Ning suddenly open his eyes.
There was no blue data stream in her eyes. The whites of her eyes were so red that they seemed to bleed, and black mucus was flowing on the surface of her red eyeballs.
Bai Cheng brought the can, and the thing stopped screaming when it saw Zhu Ning.
It was as if a hand was stuck in its throat, and all sounds disappeared. For a moment, there was silence, which was very uncomfortable.
Black slime crawled out from the back of Zhu Ning's neck and piled up on the ground like undried asphalt. This time, the can was really shaking, and it made a harsh sound when it hit the ground.
The black slime surged and wrapped around the can. With a click, everyone heard a crisp sound, like the sound of a monster chewing while eating.
An Chi stood in the shadows. Zhu Ning was still imprisoned by her. She had imprisoned Zhu Ning at that time just to try to cut off the infection. She had never expected that one day he would be so terrified that he would approach the cage.
An Chi strangely discovered that the surrounding environment was changing. The pollutants were melting and collapsing rapidly like burning wax figures, turning into pieces of rotten meat.
The smell of the sewer filled the entire shelter. These people had been dead for a long time and even emitted a sour smell.
The polluted parts of the brain gradually faded away, revealing more healthy brain tissue. The world drew out countless black lines. In the world of hallucination, the lines were crumpled into a ball and had no order, like graffiti drawn by a mental patient.
Now the lines are pulled apart by an external force, returning to horizontal and vertical lines, outlining the outline of the shelter. The people floating on the ground land on their feet, the illusion disappears, and reality returns.
Her mind was clearly clear, but she always felt that she was still in a hallucination.
A gust of wind blew around, and blood-red contaminated spores filled the shelter. Then, attracted by a force, they immediately gathered towards the cage.
Zhu Ning calmly opened his eyes, holding a can in his hand. The source of pollution inside was dead.
It seems like he just finished drinking the Coke and was holding the can casually. It is impossible to tell that this is the source of pollution.
Zhu Ning looked behind Bai Cheng. There were many people following her, including Pei Shu and An Chi. The survivors were all injured, some from attacks by pollutants, and some from self-harm.
They all have one thing in common: they keep their distance from Zhu Ning.
When Zhu Ning first entered the shelter, there were forty-seven people there, but in reality there were not that many. There were only fifteen living people, and the rest were all pollutants.
In the end, there were only eleven people left alive, and four bounty hunters died. Under the stimulation of mental pollution, those four people thought they were killing people, but in fact they were just pollutants, and then they were killed by the pollutants in return.
Because An Chi cooperated with Bai Cheng, the members on their side were rational by nature, and almost all of them survived.
At that time, Bai Cheng came to discuss cooperation. An Chi felt that Bai Cheng had become more arrogant than before, but Bai Cheng quickly took out his ultimate move.
She only said one sentence, Zhu Ning is here.
Bai Cheng's new employer is a devil. After weighing the pros and cons, An Chi believed the ridiculous-sounding order and killed a can.
This was also the most rational judgment she made, and the fact that she was still alive could prove it.
For the first time in his life, An Chi saw the whole process of the experimental subject eating. It looked like a human but not a human, like a monster but not a monster.
Bai Cheng didn't care what others thought of this scene. She only had eyes for Zhu Ning. She waited quietly in front of the cage. When she saw Zhu Ning's hand on his knee move, she crumpled the can. Bai Cheng knew that Zhu Ning had almost recovered and asked, "Awake?"
Zhu Ning hummed, as if her soul had just left her body and she had not yet completely emerged from the chaotic and disordered world. She said softly, "I had a dream."
