80 Black Dentist's Clinic (XI)
◎ Xenomorph? What is Xenomorph? ◎
Zhu Ning didn't move.
It's like being targeted by a large carnivore. Don't move. The more you move, the more likely you are to die early.
She kept her back to the door and looked behind her in the reflection of the glass. The glass was not a mirror, so the reflected figure was very blurry.
When did he appear? Why was there no sound?
Is he a human or a ghost? He is definitely not a contaminant of the dental clinic. If he belonged to the dental clinic, he should have turned into rotten meat when Gao Zijian died.
A monster? Another creature? An assassin sent by the Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals?
Whatever it was, it was extremely strange that he could appear here so quietly.
Zhu Ning's right hand was hanging naturally. She looked at the black figure in the mirror and moved her fingers carefully.
She guessed that the notebook was in the chair, which was the most suitable place to hide things. Gao Zijian might sit at the desk and think every day. He must have read the notebook countless times. This seat should have been where Gao Zijian's father sat before.
So he ended up hiding the notebook under his chair.
Zhu Ning's right hand had already opened the secret compartment on the edge of the chair.
With a click—
The seat of the chair could indeed be opened, and the notebook was hidden in the interlayer of the chair. Zhu Ning's fingertips just touched the edge of the notebook.
But this slight sound startled the dark shadow behind him, and he suddenly rushed towards this side.
[Notebook successfully stored.] The system prompt sounded.
Zhu Ning used a blank card, and the notebook suddenly disappeared, turning into a card placed in Zhu Ning's inner pocket.
Zhu Ning pulled out her gun at the same time. After she tried using guns in the dentist's office and they didn't work, she rarely used them and had plenty of ammunition.
She had already calculated the position of the person behind her in the mirror, so she didn't even look back when she fired the first shot, but she still hit the target.
For professional shooters, hitting the target through the reflection of a mirror is a basic operation.
But the bullet suddenly passed through the black figure. The sound was very strange, and it didn't sound like it hit a person's head at all.
The spinning bullet punched a huge hole in his face.
The bullet was very lethal, forming a circular hole in the black figure's face with very regular edges. For a moment, only a thin layer of edge remained on the black head.
Zhu Ning hit the target with one shot, but it seemed that he only dispersed it.
Zhu Ning kicked the table and used the reaction force to shock himself in another direction, avoiding the black shadow that was rushing towards him from behind.
When Zhu Ning turned around, he saw that the shadow's face was growing, like stubble of flesh, and was wriggling rapidly.
Will this thing... be resurrected?
This time Zhu Ning saw the entire black shadow clearly. It was about two meters long, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The black shadow was like struggling lines twitching wildly on his body. At first glance, it looked like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.
Bang bang bang!
Zhu Ning took out another gun and fired both guns at the same time. She could see that this thing was different from Xu Mei. Xu Mei's shell was so strong that the bullets couldn't even penetrate her.
But bullets can penetrate the shadows, and even if the damage is not great, it can still restrict his movements.
After a burst of gunfire, bullets clattered to the ground.
The black shadow in front of him seemed to have been shot into a hornet's nest. Zhu Ning could see behind it through the bullet holes on his body. Even so, he did not completely collapse, but continued to grow.
Zhu Ning frowned. What on earth was this thing?
…
Pei Shu pushed open the door of the dentist's clinic.
A foul smell filled the dentist's office, and blood-stained spores were flying around. An experienced person could tell at a glance what had happened here.
Pei Shu originally thought that Zhu Ning was doomed to die, so this was just right.
If Liu Niannian had seen Zhu Ning's body, she might have hesitated to take risks. The Lu family's education of her was laissez-faire, but it seemed like they wanted her to hit her head against a wall.
As long as she hits a wall once, Liu Niannian will see the real world and will instantly understand the cruelty of the outside world. From then on, Liu Niannian will go home and be a good lady, and not do things that are beyond her ability.
Pei Shu brought Liu Niannian here to find Zhu Ning's body.
Unfortunately, he did not find Zhu Ning's body, but instead found the body of the source of pollution.
Pei Shu sighed, "She actually succeeded in the purification on her own?"
Liu Niannian was wearing a protective suit next to her. She was nervous at first, thinking that she would have to come in to collect Zhu Ning's body as Pei Shu said.
At this moment, Liu Niannian was inexplicably proud, "I just said my boss is amazing!"
Pei Shu: “…”
"Miss, could you please not be so polite when calling me boss? Your father is the real boss."
Pei Shu asked, "How much does she give you for each trip?"
Liu Niannian: "One million."
Zhu Ning always gave her this much for every task, as if they had made an agreement. No one had ever mentioned raising the price. Liu Niannian was not short of money, so she didn't know how much this amount was.
Pei Shu hummed, "I'm quite generous to you. I didn't cheat you."
Slightly higher than the market price.
One of Pei Shu's jobs is to examine the people who appear around Liu Niannian. From this perspective, Zhu Ning is a good person.
Liu Niannian worked actively and had already taken out the device to contain the contaminated spores and started to contain them. Pei Shu was not in a hurry. He slowly walked around the first floor of the dental clinic.
When he was a witcher, he liked to visit the polluted areas that had just been successfully cleansed.
The person's character can be inferred from the clues at the scene.
This scene is really very clean. All the metal objects in the dentist's office have been used, including chairs, stair railings and parts. It can be seen that she has been using metal all the time. Is this mysterious lady a metal-related mutant?
Zhu Ning did not adopt a violent approach. She found the real source of pollution and killed it, thus purifying the polluted area.
Pei Shu hadn't seen such an old-fashioned purification method for a long time. There were no civilians in the ant school, so he could use explosive weapons to violently flatten it to achieve the purpose of purification.
I have to say, this mysterious lady is really something.
Pei Shu looked around and said, "Although I don't know why you follow her, if you want to have a close relationship with her, I suggest you cling to her thighs."
She is definitely not a simple person. She has stepped on the face of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical twice. Could she have a grudge against Yongsheng Pharmaceutical?
Moreover, she has a close relationship with the Noble Queen Store. It is already terrifying that she has been able to provoke Yongsheng Pharmaceutical many times and get away with it unscathed.
In this polluted world, you never know when the walls will collapse, and no amount of money is more important than talent.
Don't make enemies when you go out. It is important to know the timing and direction of the wind.
Making one more friend might be a good thing for Liu Niannian.
Liu Niannian nodded heavily. She had noticed very early on that Zhu Ning was no ordinary person. Pei Shu had given Zhu Ning a stamp of approval, affirming Liu Niannian's vision.
Pei Shu asked, "Where is your boss?"
Liu Niannian: “I don’t know.”
She looked around but didn't see any trace of Zhu Ning. She remembered that last time in the Rome City community, Zhu Ning might have been mentally damaged and was not in a good state that day.
Liu Niannian originally wanted to start working, but after hearing Pei Shu's words, he became curious. Yes, where is Zhu Ning?
If the mission was completed, Zhu Ning would definitely contact her and ask her to come in to contain the contaminated spores. Until now, Zhu Ning has never shown up, and Liu Niannian sent a message but received no reply.
Something happened to her?
Liu Niannian put away the rescue tools and followed Pei Shu to the fifth floor of the dental clinic. They checked and found that there was no one on the four floors below. The safety passages on both sides of the fifth floor were also open, and there was a dark corridor behind them.
Zhu Ning left from this side?
As Liu Niannian moved, wanting to go into the corridor to take a look, Pei Shu grabbed her shoulders and said, "Don't move."
Pei Shu's voice was very serious. As he said this, his right hand dropped, and he had already taken out the gun. Pei Shu was not joking with her.
Liu Niannian didn't need to ask too much because she saw a black shadow flash before her eyes. The black shadow was very fast and made a rustling sound as it crawled past.
Rustling——
The thing itself doesn't make any sound, but the anthill has been in disrepair for a long time, and there will be a natural sound when it crawls across the beams.
What is that?
Liu Niannian thought he was seeing things. Wasn’t this polluted area purified?
What is that?
Pollutants? Or superpowers?
Bang!
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard at the end of the corridor, which seemed very abrupt in an abandoned community.
Bang, bang, bang—
There were continuous gunshots, as if someone was shooting continuously. Liu Niannian listened carefully and found that a total of 64 shots were fired.
There were two intervals in between, either he was reloading or was blocked by something and could not shoot immediately.
What can't be killed even after 64 shots? Was it Zhu Ning who shot her? Is she in danger?
The gunfire stopped.
After the intensive gunfire, it suddenly stopped and the entire dental clinic fell into a strange state. There were a lot of rotting corpses under Liu Niannian's feet.
Pei Shu stood in front of Liu Niannian and said, "Go first."
Liu Niannian is not so ungrateful. The current situation has far exceeded the safety zone set between her and Pei Shu. She should follow the order and evacuate.
No matter what happens, protecting Liu Niannian's life is the top priority. If something happens to her here today, the one who will suffer in the end is Pei Shu.
But before they could move, they heard the sound of someone running.
That person was coming towards them.
The other person was running very fast, his footsteps were not heavy, and he must be very light.
Pei Shu had already raised the muzzle of his gun, pointing it at the dark corridor. In the darkness of the dental office, they all saw things through the night vision function of their helmets. This function was not as sensitive as the human eye, and it was easy to see unclearly in the dark.
Bang!
When the man ran to the other side of the corridor, Pei Shu pulled the trigger without thinking.
At this time, Liu Niannian had already seen the person opposite him clearly. Because they had worked together several times, it was easy for him to identify him from his body shape.
"etc!"
Just as she was about to ask Pei Shu to stop, it was too late. A bullet had already spun out.
This was the scene when Pei Shu first saw the boss that Liu Niannian mentioned. He had just fired a shot when Liu Niannian grabbed his wrist and he had no time to stop him.
A woman ran out of the dark corridor at a very fast speed. She was wearing a black protective suit, but the helmet mask was missing. Half of her face was covered in blood, and her eyes looked extremely sharp in the darkness, like a leopard emerging from the darkness.
The bullet did not penetrate Zhu Ning's forehead, but suddenly stopped one meter away, and an invisible defensive wall rose up.
The bullet stopped in the air for a second, then hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Metal-related abilities?
"Liu Niannian?" the man spoke.
Zhu Ning finally escaped from Gao Zijian's house, but before he could run to the dentist, he was shot at the door.
She immediately recognized Liu Niannian, who was wearing a white kitten protective suit, but she was not alone. There was someone with her who was wearing a dark protective suit and looked more like a demon hunter.
His uniform was more professional, covered in metal and emitting a cold glow.
"Who is he?" Zhu Ning frowned. Pei Shu's gun was still pointed at him. Did he want to shoot him to death?
Liu Niannian hadn't taken in such a large amount of information at once. She took a moment to react and tried to push down Pei Shu's hand, but failed. "Pei Shu, my teacher."
Pei Shu asked coldly, "Where's your helmet?"
Zhu Ning just remembered a problem. He didn't have a helmet, so in the eyes of others he would be a pollutant that could be transformed at any time and anywhere.
So Pei Shu pointed his gun at her, but she had no friendship with Pei Shu, and an experienced demon hunter would choose to shoot her to death.
Zhu Ning looked at him provocatively: "Either you kill me now, or think of a way to escape."
As if to echo Zhu Ning's words, after she finished speaking, the rustling sound behind her became louder, and a black figure walked out from the depths of the corridor. The other person's body was full of bullet holes, some of which had actually healed.
Zhu Ning used the rotten fish head acceleration function to create some distance between himself and the thing behind him.
She chatted with Pei Shu for a few words, and the distance between them was shortened.
Pei Shu immediately determined the current situation and moved his gun away. Compared to Zhu Ning who might mutate, the monster behind him had a higher priority.
This time the gun was aimed at the dark shadow behind Zhu Ning.
As the bullet spun out, there was a burst of fire, as if someone had struck a match in the darkness.
The bullet embedded itself into the black shadow, and tongues of fire instantly licked up. Zhu Ning heard a scream from the monster behind him. He seemed to want to climb over here, but failed.
The absolute power of the flames held him tightly, and after about fifteen seconds, the black shadow turned into ashes on the spot.
Fire-related abilities?
Liu Niannian's family is indeed a chaebol. The bodyguards he carries with him are not only demon hunters, but also people with special abilities.
It was the first time for Zhu Ning to see a psychic using his abilities at such a close distance, and he looked at him with envy.
Pei Shu only killed one, so there was obviously more than one here. Something was climbing along the ceiling. Most of the anthills were made of metal, with hollow spaces between the floors.
Zhu Ning couldn't imagine how many of these things were hidden inside.
The black shadows were like cockroaches transformed into spirits. Every time she found one, it was like she found countless of them. She could imagine hundreds of black shadows climbing over her head.
This stuff is clearly not a pollutant.
Zhu Ning immediately joined Pei Shu and his team, and together with Liu Niannian and the other two, they formed a new team with their backs facing each other. When encountering this thing, there is safety in numbers.
Pei Shugang had just accepted that this person was Liu Niannian's boss and that she didn't have a helmet, but he didn't expect that the other party was so open and immediately grouped the three of them into one team.
However, if Zhu Ning does not mutate, the chances of survival for the three of them will increase.
Pei Shu's flames drew a circle around them, covering the three of them.
Zhu Ning asked, "What is that?"
Pei Shu hadn't expected to encounter one here either. "Alien."
Xenomorph? What is Xenomorph?
Did Zhu Ning miss the Demon Hunter course? She had never heard of it. How could the cleaning center not teach such an important thing?
Pei Shu: "It's normal that you don't know. The girls in the cleaning center probably haven't seen it much. This is the first time I've seen it inside the wall."
Zhu Ning: “…”
It was the first time she heard someone call the witcher from the cleaning center "Delicate Flower".
"In heavily polluted areas outside the wall, besides the pollution source, there are also alien species near the polluted area. They usually appear after the pollution source disappears. They are also humans or alienated animals and plants, and feed on human flesh and blood."
Zhu Ning understood that the purpose of pollutants is to pollute you, assimilate you, and make you become the same as me. The techniques used tend to be spiritual pollution.
But the aliens are more like monsters, and their purpose is simpler and clearer - I want to eat your body.
Divided by a high wall, they are actually two worlds, and the cleaning center only deals with internal urban pollution.
It turns out that the world outside the walls is so dangerous. No wonder it is so difficult for humans to regain their lost land.
After years of pollution, the pollution here is no longer just a source of pollution, but a pollution situation similar to that outside the wall has appeared.
Although the alien species here seem very immature compared to those outside, the current situation has suddenly become very complicated. The question is, how can they contain the contaminated spores under such circumstances?
Without a high-tech protective shield, if left unattended, the contaminated spores in the ant's blood can easily spread out.
Zhu Ning now has a stomachache, as if he has worked so hard for an exam, and the two-hour exam time is about to end. He has filled the test paper with great enthusiasm, thinking that he will be liberated, and then when he turns over the paper, is he surprised?
There are additional questions!
