226 Sleep
◎Falling asleep in the cold snow◎
Huo Wenxi was busy for three hours. When they began the execution, she went to the medical department for treatment. She had just received an injection, and the doctor had implanted a metal device under her skin, "to temporarily delay the transformation."
The doctor's tone was uncertain. They were right above a huge amount of pollutants, and pollution could arrive at any time. Currently, it was unlikely that medication would be of any use. It was also hard to say when Huo Wenxi would transform.
Huo Wenxi also has a monitoring device on her body. When the pollution concentration is too high, an alarm will be triggered, and then the people around her can kill her directly.
Huo Wenxi had no expression at all and put on the eye mask again to cover his devil eye.
She is the only commander now, she cannot fall. Huo Wenxi asked the doctor not to make it public, and then went to see Xuanqing.
Xuan Qing was seriously injured and was half lying on the bed, watching some video on the electronic screen.
She has short silver hair and is usually full of energy. You wouldn't be able to tell she is her age, but now, lying there, she finally looks a bit old.
Xuan Qing saw Huo Wenxi raise his eyebrows and asked, "Team Leader Huo, you're out?"
Xuan Qing understood. Huo Wenxi sent Zhu Ning to carry out the mission and asked her if she wanted to wear the human-machine combined device. Xuan Qing gave the choice to Zhu Ning.
After Zhu Ning put it on, the pollutants crawled along the screen into the hall of the cleaning center.
After six hours of chaos, the one who benefited in the end was Huo Wenxi. Xuan Qing was injured, and Huo Wenxi naturally took over the command. It was a natural and logical thing, and no one else could find any fault with him.
Huo Wenxi had long predicted that he would make a profit.
Xuan Qing heard that she was almost drowned in the dungeon, and she was considered to be brave and worthy of being a young witch. Her style was in line with that of the old witch. The Huo family knew how to gain the initiative in a chaotic situation.
Xuan Qing: "You look a lot like your patriarch."
Xuanqing is Huo Wenxi's elder and has met her family's elderly parents.
"Thank you." Huo Wenxi didn't even twitch her brows. She had her long braids tied behind her head and was wearing a black coat. At first glance, she really looked like the head of the Huo family.
Xuan Qing: "What do you want from me?"
Huo Wenxi said bluntly: "I need you."
Xuan Qing didn't even look at her, "I don't need you."
Huo Wenxi: "I can give you what you want. You want power."
Xuanqing is an easy-to-understand person. She only wants power, and her desire for power is written all over her face.
She didn't care about the lives of her subordinates, nor did she care about her own life. Huo Wenxi could see through this.
Xuan Qing shook her head slightly, feeling that Huo Wenxi was just a little girl, very childish.
Huo Wenxi's voice was cold, as if he was just doing an investigative report. "Xie Jiazu has woken up. He was a member of the original Cheetah team and Xu Meng's former teammate."
Xuan Qing said "oh" lightly. Huo Wenxi saw that her expression was calm, so he thought he probably knew something. He continued, "After he woke up, he told me something. The Kingdom of God had already repaired the walls in advance. There are five walls in total. Four of them are buried with a large number of bombs, and the outermost wall is an automatic transmission device."
Huo Wenxi: "On the day the pollutants awaken, the explosives in the four walls will blow up Area 103. At that time, the flying polluted spores will be directly transported to the Kingdom of God through the transmission device on the outer wall, allowing the Kingdom of God to float for 90 years."
The Kingdom of God does not care about their life or death; the Kingdom of God will always be the biggest winner.
The people of the Divine Country looked upon Area 103 as if it were a high and mighty god, looking down upon everything and watching the war between the two countries. The countless casualties had nothing to do with them.
All they want is energy.
Xuan Qing sneered. She knew the character of the people of God's Country, but she didn't expect that they would cross her bottom line.
Xuanqing: "You can't win."
They have to fight against underground pollutants, against Su He who possesses the ability to cause natural disasters, and against the explosives reserves of the Kingdom of God.
Even if Huo Wenxi was a god, he would be powerless to change the current situation.
Xuan Qing: "I suggest you just wait for death."
Huo Wenxi: "What if we win? The Kingdom of God thinks we will die. If we win, District 103 will become independent. This is the real power I'm talking about."
It’s not about being under the Kingdom of God, but about truly becoming your own master.
Xuan Qing was finally interested in her, as if she was listening to a little kid telling a fairy tale. "How do you want to win?"
Huo Wenxi didn't answer the question, but asked, "Are you watching Zhu Ning's video?"
Xuan Qing didn't turn on the sound and turned on the anti-peeping mode. Huo Wenxi couldn't see the content on her screen, but she was sure that Xuan Qing was looking at Zhu Ning.
The video of Zhu Ning taking action outside the hotel was uploaded to the forum, and many people were studying it carefully. What on earth was this thing?
Xuan Qing did not hide her feelings. She put down the tablet and sure enough, the person in the video was Zhu Ning.
Huo Wenxi: "What do you think of her? Do you think she's a demon?"
Xuan Qing is the leader of the demon hunters. What he deals with most in his life is pollutants. The experienced hunter can judge the prey by intuition.
Xuan Qing saw at first sight that there was something fishy about Zhu Ning. He had observed her for a long time during the mechanical aquarium incident, and now he saw that there was indeed something fishy.
Xuan Qing: "It's hard to say."
It is hard to say that it is a neutral evaluation, which proves that Xuan Qing has no ill feelings towards Zhu Ning.
Huo Wenxi: "You have seen her ability. She is the key to victory."
Zhu Ning can devour shells, superpowers, and attacks, so maybe she can actually devour pollutants.
Huo Wenxi was also shocked when she saw this video for the first time. Zhu Ning had mentioned swallowing to her in advance, but she was still shocked when she actually saw it.
It was Zhu Ning who gave Huo Wenxi confidence.
Xuan Qing: "If your winning magic weapon is Zhu Ning, then many people will not cooperate at all."
Zhu Ning is now notorious. He wants to tell others that to defeat one pollutant, one must rely on another pollutant. No one dares to follow him.
This is a battle, not between individuals, we have to consider the whole.
Huo Wenxi: "Have you ever seen a missionary work? In a new religion, a missionary preaches to 10,000 people. 9,999 of them think he's crazy and dreaming, but one person will become a believer."
For a while, people had no hope for life, religions big and small were very popular, and desperate people always wanted to find a belief.
Xuan Qing sneered: "You want to establish a religion?"
Huo Wenxi heard her sarcasm and said seriously, "Yes."
The resurrection will have its own beliefs. It believes that after the advent of God, humans and pollutants will merge and usher in a brand new world.
Why can’t Huo Wenxi also have his own divine descent?
At this moment, Huo Wenxi suddenly thought of Zhu Ning. Zhu Ning was best at painting a rosy picture for people to win their hearts and turn his own problems into other people's problems.
Now Huo Wenxi actually learned some so-called skills from Zhu Ning, exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
Huo Wenxi is a proud daughter of heaven. She has always been ruthless in her investigations and rarely tries to win over anyone. This is the first time.
Xuan Qing: "Are you sure she can listen to you? She hasn't lost her mind?"
The more dangerous the weapon, the harder it is to control; the more powerful the pollutant, the easier it is to cause dementia.
Huo Wenxi said without hesitation: "I'm sure."
She hadn't considered the possibility that Zhu Ning would betray her.
Xuan Qing stared at Huo Wenxi for a while, as if assessing him. After a moment, she said, "Where is she?"
Huo Wenxi was silent.
Xuan Qing: "If everything is as you said, we are not the only ones looking for her."
Zhu Ning caused such a big fuss that Su He must have known about it. She would try every possible way to nip the danger in the bud.
This is also what Huo Wenxi is worried about. On the one hand, she is afraid that Zhu Ning will show up, and on the other hand, she is afraid that she will never show up.
Xuan Qing asked again: "Are you sure she is still alive?"
Xuan Qing's question made Huo Wenxi frown. She had never thought about this question: Is Zhu Ning injured?
Zhu Ning lost his teammates, his body underwent strange changes, his life suffered unexpected changes, and he was hunted by someone.
Zhu Ning swallowed so many things, but Huo Wenxi remembered that she was just a defective product. Is she still functioning normally?
Huo Wenxi's people searched all over Area 103, but couldn't find it in the surveillance footage, and the anti-pollution alarm never sounded.
The pollution concentration on Zhu Ning was so high that after Area 103 entered a doomsday state, there were alarms everywhere, but none of them captured Zhu Ning.
She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Huo Wenxi then realized that she had never considered the worst possible outcome. Zhu Ning might have been killed in advance, or she might have been harmed by her own power.
Xuanqing leaned on the bed and said, "If you find her, I'll join you."
Xuan Qing didn't look at Huo Wenxi again. She looked out the window. Because the dome was closed, it was pitch black outside.
…
Zhu Ning was walking in the snow.
She was hunted all night, and people were looking for her everywhere. There was an ambush at the Queen's Inn, and people were also waiting at the Beehive and the Spark Club.
All of Zhu Ning's nests were discovered and she had no home to go.
Finally she walked to the ski resort. The dome of Area 103 was closed, the sun was out, and there was no one on the ski resort. Everyone was busy escaping and no one wanted to come skiing.
Zhu Ning still remembered that when they came skiing before, she took Lin Xiaofeng into the difficult mode track. Song Zhizhang was not happy about scolding her, and Zhu Ning lowered her head as if she was scolded by her grandmother when she was a child.
This little incident seemed so unreal now, it didn't seem like it had ever happened to her.
Lin Xiaofeng and Song Zhizhang should have gone to a safe place.
Zhu Ning walked towards the difficult mode track, where there were simulated pine trees, deliberately set obstacle stones, and an igloo in the forest in the distance.
As Zhu Ning walked, he no longer felt that he was inside the wall. There was no one around him. It was as if he was really walking on a snowy mountain.
It had snowed in Area 103 recently, and the snow was much thicker than the last time she came, reaching her knees.
Zhu Ning's body was very hot, probably over fifty degrees Celsius, and white smoke came out when it came into contact with the snow.
【System overload...】
There was a mechanical voice in my head that kept reminding me: [System overload, please cool down immediately]
Zhu Ning's brain continued to burn, as if a fire was burning from the inside, burning through her brain, melting her brain and splattering brain matter everywhere.
As expected, she couldn't eat anything she wanted. She could only digest pollutants, not man-made weapons. She smelled of gunpowder.
[System overload, please contact...immediately...contact...contact...]
The sound in his brain was stuck, and it was a defective product after all, with very average quality. Zhu Ning had no doubt that it might be scrapped.
It's too hot, like a computer that has been used for too long, it can easily explode.
She reached out and unbuttoned her protective suit, letting the cold air pour in. She pulled off the tattered suit with all her strength, removing her restraints as she went.
Soon after, she was walking in the snow naked except for a blood-red necklace around her neck.
Xu Meng's contaminated spores were contained by Zhu Ning. The thin teardrop-shaped device was strung together with a thin iron chain and hung around his neck.
In the special funeral industry of the polluted world, loved ones can have an alternative "urn" after becoming pollutants.
At this time, the contaminated spores emitted a blood-red light, reflecting Zhu Ning's face in blood-red.
Zhu Ning had many wounds on her body. There had once been a pair of ghostly hands on her abdomen that had torn it apart from the inside. Now, a tree-like scar was left on her body, stretching from her stomach to her lower abdomen, spreading to both sides.
There was a wound on the left side of his abdomen, which was caused by the first generation Zhu Ning using metal garbage at the garbage dump.
She had wounds of varying sizes on her back, legs, neck, and shoulders, some of which had just healed and were still itchy.
These scars are like her totem.
In addition, she was covered in blood, and her hands were stained with Xu Meng's blood, which had dried and turned black in her palms.
She remembered the feeling of killing Xu Meng, and also remembered the touch of Xu Meng's rotten flesh slipping through her fingers.
There was her own blood on her arm, the blood of the pollution source Liu Liu, the blood of team leader Xu Meng, and the blood of mechanical assistant Fang Ying.
Zhu Ning knelt on the ground, scooped up the white snow with his hands, and buried his face deeply in it.
breathe.
breathe--
Zhu Ning took a deep breath, she was just breathing, as if she was completely different after today, having lost a part of what was called weakness.
She won't cry or break down anymore.
Zhu Ning had a very high body temperature, and the snowflakes melted into water when they touched her. She used the snow to wash her face, and the melted snow turned into water stains that flowed down her chin. Her whole body was steaming.
Then she washed her arms, calves, and body slowly, thinking of how she grew up with Zhu Yao, who was a mysophobiaist. The first thing Zhu Ning did after returning home from training every day was to take a shower.
The first thing she did after the game was to take a shower. Zhu Yao told her to stay clean at all times.
People can face adversity, but they should not be dirty.
Zhu Ning felt clean again, as if something invisible had been gently brushed away, and the weight on her chest had suddenly vanished. It was so out of nowhere, it was truly strange. Whatever had happened, a shower could bring it back to life.
Zhu Ning leaned back and fell to the ground in the snow with a thud. She looked up at the sky, which was completely obscured, without any light at all, as if it had entered a state of eternal night.
It might still be snowing outside the wall, but the inside was closed. This was the first time that Zhu Ning was so eager to go outside the wall and take a look.
She blinked, and the black mucus in her eyes faded, turning into a sea-blue data stream.
After that, the data stream slowly faded and turned back to black and white, with pupils and whites of the eyes, like the appearance of a normal person's eyes.
Now it seems that she is no different from ordinary humans.
Zhu Ning could not sense time or the system, he could only sense himself quietly.
The mechanical system sound in my mind disappeared, perhaps it was forced to shut down and enter sleep mode.
Zhu Ning lay there silently, his body melting the snow layer below, which was much thicker than he had imagined.
Her temperature gradually dropped, and the snow above her collapsed like a small avalanche about to be brewed, and the falling snow covered her calves.
She didn't move, letting her body sink, sink, and sink again, getting farther and farther away from the flat ground, as if she was going to sink directly into the center of the earth.
A naked woman lay in the snow, almost blending into it, but a red light emanated from her neck, the only light entering the dark age.
Xu Meng's contaminated spores instinctively floated upwards, and the necklace pulled at Zhu Ning's neck like a rope, as if trying to pull her up.
But Zhu Ning couldn't stand up, she was too tired.
She held down the spores and pressed them against her heart. With a loud bang, the snow collapsed completely, burying her completely.
Zhu Ning closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in the cold snow.
