Ni Ji ran very fast.
But Lin Yuan could still feel that something was catching up with him.
Things were rising from the ground, hiding in the earth and in the shadows, surging after us.
In the distance, one could only see some thick black smoke rising from the distant streets and alleys.
Lin Yuan knew what that was. Although they had only fought each other once, Lin Yuan was already very familiar with that style. It was those twisted and perverted black arms that always wanted to leave their mark.
Ni Ji ran all the way to the beach. At the edge of the golden coast, he suddenly put Lin Yuan down from his back.
"Don't turn around yet," he said.
Lin Yuan was puzzled until she heard a splash of water. She turned around and found that the sentry beside her was gone. There was only a tattered black combat uniform on the beach at her feet.
A killer whale popped its head out of the white foamy sea.
It was an adult male killer whale, with a huge body of 2.5 meters in length, a broad back and a tall, upright dorsal fin.
"No one can catch up with me in the sea." Ni Ji's voice came from underwater.
Lin Yuan threw off his shoes and lay on the killer whale's pure black back. The whale's tail swung, and its body broke through the waves and rushed forward.
"Can you catch it?" Ni Ji's voice came from underwater.
Lin Yuan didn't say anything. The waves hit her face, making her feel very comfortable. She reached out and touched the killer whale's smooth skin.
Ni Ji realized that what he asked was nonsense.
Something changed in the guide's feet, and something very familiar to Ni Ji swam out, a familiar slippery and cold touch, and a small suction cup grabbed him tightly.
The riding guide on the orca's back held him tightly.
The huge whales in the sea swam very fast, and Lin Yuan could feel the strong wind, waves and the sound of water.
This was the first time she tried to transform part of her body into a half-beast. The tentacles tightly wrapped around the killer whale, and the killer whale took her swimming freely in the sea.
Lin Yuan found that his spiritual body and this sentinel were really in tune with each other, no matter what the situation was.
She also discovered that she really loved the sea, even during this moment of escape.
In the sea, her consciousness seemed to be able to expand further. The tentacles sent a warning, they felt that something was surging up from the depths of the sea.
Perhaps it's under the wreck of the Mary, or somewhere deeper and darker.
Something surging, dark, and malicious was chasing them.
This time, Lin Yuan was certain that those black arms that had been chasing them all the way, and those thick malevolence that emerged from the bottom of the sea, were all directed at her.
Or maybe it was directed at the inconspicuous little box in her backpack.
She stood up on the killer whale's back, holding onto its tall dorsal fin and looking back.
Huge waves rose on the sea in the distance. Those black arms twisted and solidified on the seabed, chasing and fusing with countless corpses on the seabed, gradually combining into an extremely bizarre and huge creature, raising its strange and huge head in the sea.
The monster made noisy and strange noises, like countless lives screaming and roaring at the same time.
They roared and surged with great momentum, rolling in as if they were determined to catch up with the man and the whale, dissolve them into the pure black world, and drag them into the abyss of darkness.
However, even such a strange giant creature could not easily catch up with Ni Ji's speed in the sea after he transformed into a beastman.
The killer whale, with its astonishing speed, did not even look back, but pushed the sea surface away and sailed forward through the waves like an arrow shot from a bow.
But Lin Yuan knew that this whale, this sentinel, was using his own blood and flesh, and burning his life, to achieve such a speed.
"I can't let you catch him again,"
"I won't give you the chance to torture him like that again."
Lin Yuan stood on the killer whale's back, his feet stepping on the rolling waves, and the radiance of the bright moon appeared in his eyes.
At first the moon is cold and bright, then it gradually turns red.
In the sky, thousands of bright stars disappeared in an instant, and a huge blood moon appeared.
Under the blood moon, the young girl standing on the back of an orca whale has slender hands and is very graceful, but her eyes reveal a strange red light. She is facing the giant sea monster that is chasing her relentlessly from behind.
There was an even older, even larger creature that appeared as a vague shadow in the deep sea under the light of the blood moon.
Many giant tentacles were swimming, touching the reefs on the seabed, splashing and stirring up huge waves, slowly heading towards the black-handed monster that was following them.
Those powerful, surging, entangled black arms hesitated.
They slowed down their pace, hesitantly but unwillingly wandering on the seabed. They were unwilling, resentful and annoyed, but they were still hesitant and dared not move forward.
In this contaminated area, in this nightmare that belongs only to them, this is the first time they have encountered a huge spiritual entity that made them wary and hesitant, and they dare not approach it rashly.
But it didn't last long.
The blood moon in the sky disappeared, and the shadow of the giant sea monster blocking their way also disappeared.
However, it was just a short delay. Above the sea, the figures of the man and the whale could no longer be seen.
They swam to the escape door, jumped up from the waves, and jumped into the half-open door in the void.
…
Lin Yuan and the killer whale jumped out of the escape door opened in the air.
The dreamy and gorgeous starry sky disappeared.
It was early morning in the world outside. The cool morning breeze blew on the skin, the sunlight dyed the sky white, and two or three ordinary stars were dotted on the horizon.
This is the normal world.
Finally they got out, from that weird and strange contaminated area No. 5, the two of them escaped alive together.
This time, the door to escape in the real world actually opened onto the vast blue ocean.
Lin Yuan had just come out of the sea when she fell into the cold water again. The killer whale swam up from the bottom, picked her up and swam towards the shore.
"Are you okay? I'll let everything go now." Lin Yuan touched the smooth back of the killer whale under him.
"Wait a moment." Ni Ji's low voice came up from under the water. The voice was very calm, and there was no more unnecessary words.
This is deep sea, far from the coastline. The moment the shield is unlocked, a hundred times the pain will sweep through the sentinel's body.
This is not the right place to suddenly lift the ban.
The killer whale swam towards the shore with Lin Yuan in its arms at a very fast speed.
Swim halfway.
"Lin Yuan, I seem to..."
Lin Yuan heard Ni Ji's voice. The voice was very soft, but it was already very strong.
The next moment, the force supporting her suddenly disappeared.
Lin Yuan reached out and grabbed a smooth and cold arm.
The owner of the arm regained his human form, completely lost consciousness, and was sinking into the sea.
Lin Yuan has lived in the White Tower since childhood and has never swam in the real ocean.
She grabbed Ni Ji's hand and was carried into the water by the unconscious sentry.
The moment he was completely submerged in the water and the sea water covered his face, Lin Yuan had a very familiar feeling, as if he had swam in the sea many times, as if he could swim naturally.
She swung her legs and arms and soon floated to the surface of the sea. She pulled Ni Ji, lifted his jaw and lifted his mouth and nose out of the sea, and swam hard towards the distant coast with the unconscious sentry.
Lin Yuan didn't know how long they had been swimming in the sea. She was completely exhausted. In the end, she was almost pushed to the shore by the waves.
When I woke up from the beach, it was already bright.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw several seabirds flying in the sky.
She sat up and found that she had fallen asleep on the beach. She looked around and finally found the sentry under a large rock.
The sentry, who had recovered his human form halfway, was huddled in the waves under the reef without a single tear.
The sea water rolled up with white foam, washed over the bare back, submerged the drooping head and black hair, and then retreated.
One after another, but the body half submerged in the sea water did not move at all.
He had his back to Lin Yuan, his bare back covered with crisscrossing scars, his long legs curled up, stained with sand and blood, and turned white by the sea water.
It looked like a corpse washed ashore by the waves.
Lin Yuan slowly stood up and walked towards that direction.
She walked over to the body lying in the water and put her hands on the sentry's shoulders. The skin there was ice-cold, without any body temperature.
She twisted the cold shoulders, turned the sentry over, pinched his chin, and turned his face, which was immersed in the sea water, towards herself.
Half of the face was covered with sand and sea water, the eyes were tightly closed, and the lips were completely bloodless.
Did he die in the same way?
Lin Yuan felt that she didn't actually have the feeling she should have.
Isn't this normal? She had experienced this when she was very young, so it's no big deal to experience it again.
But I don't know why, but I felt like someone had stuffed a heavy piece of pig iron into my heart.
The rusty piece of iron fell all the way down her chest, pulling at the dirt inside her heart and lungs, making her a little irritated and making her want to start biting her fingers.
Lin Yuan didn't know whether time had stopped or a long time had passed.
Until she finally caught a slight fluctuation of emotion, until the eyelashes covered with sea water on the face she was holding in her hands trembled slightly.
The eyes slowly opened.
The sentry saw her, weak and unable to utter a complete sentence, but smiled at her.
It seems to be saying, see, we are all fine.
Lin Yuan recalled what her good friend Yunyun once said to her.
"You asked me when to laugh?" At that moment, Yunyun touched her head helplessly, "Xiaoyuan, people will laugh when they are happy."
"As long as you are happy from the bottom of your heart, you will smile naturally."
Lin Yuan felt that he must be smiling now. He smiled at the sentry who had not died in the morning light.
The sentry turned his face slightly away.
"I feel so cold." A little color appeared on his ears.
Lin Yuan took off his coat and wrapped it around his naked waist.
"It's okay, just be patient, I'll take you to see a doctor now." She comforted the sentry happily.
There is a not-so-big sentry post near the No. 5 contaminated area. It looks poor and messy.
But Lin Yuan unexpectedly found a clinic with a treatment cabin inside.
The doctor in charge of reception was very excited when he saw Lin Yuan bringing in the injured. He even decorated the only old-fashioned treatment cabin in the clinic to the ceiling.
"Wrap it up, wrap it up. All the sentries injured in Area 5 were healed by me."
Ni Ji was placed in a semi-glass closed treatment chamber. Light green treatment fluid flowed out, slowly submerging his entire body.
It hurts, he thought. It hurts so much.
He is a soldier accustomed to pain.
But he never imagined that there would be such pain in the world.
Although I was floating in the warm healing fluid, I felt like I was being put on a execution ground. Red-hot iron nails pierced my body repeatedly, melting all the bones in my body, and even every breath was accompanied by sharp pain.
He couldn't even control the shaking of his arms.
This is backlash. It is the price of overdrawing your body.
But he felt that he was willing to bear this.
At least he is still alive, at least he didn't implicate anyone.
He did not die, so the guide did not experience that kind of hurt again.
Ni Ji clenched his teeth, not letting any sound of pain escape from his throat.
"I think this sentry's injuries are too severe." The doctor wearing glasses looked at the sentry in the treatment chamber and adjusted the data on the instrument panel nimbly. "It's a miracle that he managed to escape from the contaminated area."
"But it's okay. Just lie in my treatment cabin and I can cure any injury." He quickly showed the adjusted data board to Lin Yuan and pointed at the price column. "It's a special price. I'll give you a broken bone. I guarantee you'll be a healthy Sentinel again."
Lin Yuan's face was cold and expressionless, which made the enthusiastic doctor feel a little frustrated.
"Where is the anesthetic?" Lin Yuan asked after reading it.
"Anesthetic...anesthesia?" The doctor was very surprised. "You have to know that he is a sentinel. Ordinary anesthetics are useless to sentinels."
Ordinary anesthetics have no effect on sentinels with strong five senses. Special anesthetics for sentinels are very expensive. Most sentinels at the sentinels cannot afford such expensive items.
The doctor didn't think it was necessary. The sentinels were strong and had good recovery abilities, so they could just endure the pain and it would go away.
"But he is in a lot of pain now." said the little girl calmly.
Ni Ji in the treatment chamber opened his eyes.
"Are you sure? That will cost you a lot more money." The doctor muttered, "The cost is nearly double that of ordinary treatment. It's such a waste. In fact, you won't die even if it hurts a little."
He opened the safe and took out a thin needle from it. After obtaining Lin Yuan's consent, he injected it into the medication tube in the treatment cabin.
The sentinel, suspended in the treatment fluid, was finally able to relax his tense shoulders.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of comfort.
It was like being brought out from an endless hell of burning torture and dropped into a warm ocean.
No one understood the feeling at this moment. Because no one knew what kind of pain he had been enduring.
No, there is someone she knows. Ni Ji thought of what Lin Yuan just said.
Give him anesthesia. He is in pain now.
Ni Ji did not turn his head to look outside the glass window at the guide who was talking to the doctor. He just stared at the treatment cabin above his head.
The green healing liquid floating before my eyes is beautiful, a bit like the sea in my mental picture.
Lin Yuan was talking to the doctor. She didn't expect that someone was listening to every word she said, carefully collecting it, turning it into a beautiful pearl, and storing it in the deepest part of her spiritual picture.
"He has a lot of old injuries on his body." The doctor said to Lin Yuan, "Why don't we take this opportunity to treat him together. This way the patient will suffer less pain in the future."
"For example, the old leg injury can be treated with surgery this time. There are also some problems with the elbow, phalanx, and lungs..." The doctor said, looking at the increasing bills in his hand. He felt that the expenses were too huge. Even if he reduced the profit to the minimum, it still looked shocking.
He looked up at the little girl standing beside him a little hesitantly.
"Of course," said the guide, who looked very cold, "give him the best treatment."
Isolating himself in the treatment chamber, Ni Ji closed his eyes and clenched his hands slightly.
"Change this U55 to U96. Also, this regeneration fluid. Do you have No. 233 regeneration fluid? Change it to the best one."
"Yes, yes. Are you sure?" The doctor took a breath, counted quickly, and handed the number board over. "This is not a small number."
There was a constant stream of conversations coming from outside the treatment cabin.
Ni Ji was a little dazed as he floated in the cabin. He recalled the time when he was still in the Sentinel Academy. When he was still very young, he was seriously injured in order to win the championship for the school. He had to go to the treatment cabin to have a chance of recovery.
Cao Junmin showed an awkward look in front of him, "Xiao Ji, the school really can't afford such expenses, so I have to inconvenience you for now."
It was only after several years that he realized that it was not that he could not afford it, but that it was not worth it.
In the teacher's mind, a student like him who is not very obedient is not someone worth spending so much money on treatment.
"Use the best medicine to cure him completely. No amount of money will be a problem."
The guide's voice came through the water waves.
She didn't even know she could hear it all.
Ni Ji really didn't want to fall asleep at this moment, but the pain subsided, his body was tired, and his heart was at peace.
Eventually he could no longer resist the exhaustion, and he floated in the healing fluid and fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, the pain that felt like it was tearing his body apart had subsided a lot.
My legs, which had been broken once, and my lungs, which had been tormenting me for years, seemed to be feeling much better now.
He felt that he was alive in the true sense of the word.
Suspended in the turquoise water of the healing fluid, looking at everything outside, the world becomes unreal.
The lights in the treatment room were dimmed, the doctor had already left, and it was very quiet.
He looked out through the lake green glass and saw the guide sleeping on the sofa not far from him.
Her delicate white porcelain face was covered with sand from the beach. She was sleeping soundly, half lying on a square table next to the sofa, with her slender arms as a pillow.
The warm yellow light from a ceiling lamp shone on the sleeping face of the girl and on her small exposed shoulders, softening her outline.
Ni Ji couldn't help but wonder, how on earth did she manage to carry herself on her back with such slender shoulders?
How she used such soft fingers to pry open the iron chain on her neck and rescue herself from such a humiliating situation.
A small killer whale appeared in mid-air, picked up the wrinkled jacket that had been soaked in sea water and was hanging on the edge of the sofa, and gently covered Lin Yuan's shoulders with it.
Lin Yuan moved his shoulders slightly in his sleep.
One of the tentacles suddenly woke up, saw the little killer whale, and happily rolled up to it.
While no one was paying attention, this tentacle, which often does mischief, wantonly ripped off the killer whale's head and dorsal fin, not forgetting its soft belly.
The little killer whale swung its tail awkwardly, but did not run away or make any sound.
It was just a little pitiful that it stood stiffly at Lin Yuan's feet, allowing someone to do whatever he wanted. Lin Yuan was sleeping soundly. What did he dream about? Good things, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The tentacles reached up to the tail and touched the area that was badly injured.
The pointed tip bent up, touched carefully at first, and then began to caress delicately, stroking again and again, licking the white bones exposed outside the wound.
The little whale uttered a slight whimpering sound, and its dorsal and tail fins softened and fell to the ground.
The puncture wound on the tail began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye under the touch of the tentacles.
If a doctor came here at this time, he would find that there was something wrong with the data on the instrument panel outside the treatment cabin.
The red heart-shaped symbol kept flashing, indicating that the patient lying in the solution had an abnormally high heart rate.
