Chapter 58: Perfect New World (Twenty-Eight)
The dean raised his knife and cut off the black tumor on his arm along with the skin and flesh.
It fell into the petri dish that had been prepared on the table.
Whether it was cutting out the thing or bandaging the wound, the dean's skillful movements showed that this was not the first time.
The black tumor seemed to have lost its vitality after leaving the human body and turned into a pool of black liquid.
As the experimental days progressed, the sarcomas appeared faster and faster, their growth cycles shortened, and their stabilized shapes gradually grew larger.
The first turning point occurred when the director operated on the tumor and it grew back immediately. It took five operations in a row to completely clear the tumor.
On the third day, the experimental environment was finally no longer the study, but became an observation room like the other experimental subjects.
This time, the dean did not use a knife to cut off his own flesh, because there was a small bowl and a cup in front of him.
Both physically and psychologically, Nan Huan wanted to deceive himself that there was watermelon juice in the cup and some kind of poultry meat in the bowl.
But the dark red liquid and the blood-stained flesh with skin texture made it difficult for her to convince her brain.
Combined with the previous experiments on No. 31 and No. 33, Nan Huan didn't have to spend much effort to know that these things probably came from their bodies.
This logic is actually easy to understand.
If the dean and infected persons No. 1-33 were infected with the same pollutant.
He himself had physical problems, but it was obvious that No. 31-33 had not undergone any alienation. Not only did they maintain their human appearance, but their intellectual thinking also remained unchanged.
In the absence of relevant anti-pollution drugs, No. 31 and No. 33 are living antibodies.
Of course, No. 32 is an exception for the time being. After all, although she is not in an obviously alienated state, her blood is blue, and she showed a tendency to self-heal in the early stages.
So naturally, he was not among the dean’s first choices.
But this behavior obviously had no effect. The tumor on the dean's body was still growing and was getting bigger.
The next day, still a piece of meat and a glass of red liquid.
This process lasted for several days, and Nan Huan could not tell whether he was conducting the experiments alternately or enjoying No. 31 and No. 33 in turn every day.
But obviously, no matter what method was used, it didn't work.
The dean's condition was getting worse and worse. The largest tumor on his body had grown so big that he could no longer walk normally on his own.
Obviously, such a large wound on the opponent's body would only pose a life-threatening danger, so the previous method of cutting it off could no longer be used.
So on the next experimental day, a cup of blue liquid and meat stained with blue liquid were sent into the observation room.
Nan Huan could see that the people in the picture had actually struggled.
After all, this experiment, unlike the previous ones, is 100% harmless.
But staying in the observation room for a long time and not being able to appear in front of other people with a normal face would be more painful for the dean.
So he didn't hesitate for too long and picked up the glass of blue liquid and drank it all.
It wasn't long before the blue liquid took effect. The tumor stopped growing and even shrank a little.
Judging from the experimental data, the dean seems to have really found something to suppress the alienation of his body.
Soon several more cups of liquid were brought in. The dean drank them all in one gulp, and a hopeful expression appeared on his face, as if he finally saw some hope.
The fact was just as he expected, the tumors that were originally all over his body disappeared one after another.
The alienated reaction that appeared in the dean just disappeared.
The screen suddenly went black at this point in the video, but Nan Huan's expression did not relax because she saw the progress bar that showed it had not yet ended.
The black screen does not last long, only a few dozen seconds.
Soon the screen lit up again, and this time there was no number of experimental days indicated in the upper left corner.
Nan Huan couldn't tell how much time had passed between this and the previous test records, but soon he no longer had the mind to think about it.
Because he saw that the dean, like the other experimental subjects who drank the blue liquid, began to develop cracks in his body.
The fear hidden in the old and cloudy eyes appeared again.
The dean himself is different from other infected bodies because his intelligence and thinking have never been affected, and the black tumor on his body does not seem to have any other alienated special abilities.
So after taking the liquid, he neither regained consciousness like infected subjects No. 1-30 in the X+1 series, nor did he become calm and stiff like the experimental subjects in the X+2 series.
Although the cracks on his body had healed, his skin and texture were gradually replaced by small tumors. Except for his face, the rest of his body looked like it was made up of black round building blocks.
He flipped his palms, and the small thumb-sized tumors moved up and down like waves.
It seems to be able to move or change according to the owner's wishes.
Those tumors are alive and growing, but they won't get bigger.
Compared to before when the dean couldn't go out at all, but now in this state, he only needs to wrap himself tightly, wear gloves, and button his clothes around his neck, he can still hide it.
But the dean obviously didn't expect that he had finally gotten rid of the strange body changes, but came back at this time.
In the following experiments, the dean kept trying to find a balance between the blue liquid and physical characteristics.
But unfortunately, as soon as he stopped absorbing the blue liquid, his entire body began to dry up and he was on the verge of death. After he replenished the blue liquid, his body changed again.
Finally, faced with the threat to his life and the strange alienation direction, he compromised.
I don't know how many days the experiment was going on, but as the dean continued to take the blue liquid, the small tumor on his body grew actively.
Until one day, a small tumor slid off his body, peeling off the black outer layer, revealing the white light band inside.
The video finally ended here, but Nan Huan knew that the experiment did not end here.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen that strange gestation pool outside.
However, the current situation did not allow her to make too many associations. Beixi's condition was not good, and she had not returned to Nanhuan to treat her for some time.
The corrosive burning sensation had spread to Nan Huan's fingertips. Her skin felt like it was on fire, burning hot and painful.
The wound slowly expanded, blood overflowed and slid down the fingertips.
The black liquid looked like a bloody mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into its arms.
But the dripping of blood was like boiling water, causing the tumor to tremble uncontrollably, and the whole house began to shake uncontrollably.
Nan Huan looked at his fingertips. From a certain perspective, the tumor was actually a part of the alienated pollutants.
She remembered something and flapped her incomplete wings. While Bei Xi was still struggling with her eyes, she endured the severe pain, squeezed out several drops of blood from her wound, and dripped them into her eyes.
Then he signaled Bei Xi to take him back.
As she expected, the pollutant was very afraid of her blood.
The whole room began to shake, and cracks began to appear on the wall that had originally been seamless. The eyes gradually closed because of the blood.
Bei Xi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he took Nan Huan and drilled out towards the crack.
Before Nan Huan could breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that the vibration and shaking seemed not to have ended yet.
"What's going on? Aren't we out yet?"
Nan Huan was puzzled. Although they had clearly come out, they were still at the bottom of the big pool. The grooves and gullies there reappeared, but the vibration seemed to still be there.
"It came out, the whole pool was vibrating..."
[Warning, warning.]
The restricted area of this dungeon - the maintenance area has been lifted, and the dungeon difficulty has been upgraded from B+ to S.
The main quest has been updated. 】
The stuck system finally came back online, as if it was done at the right time.
It also seemed that because Nanhuan and Beixi destroyed the entire hut, the main task was updated, and I was relieved that there would be no gaps.
At this time, Hongfenfei, for her own purpose, brought all the players and rushed to the vicinity of the big pool.
When they arrived, the monster had been almost beaten by the werewolf.
At first, everyone didn’t quite understand what the system meant when it said the raw material pretreatment area was cleared.
But when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp.
After all, there were only two people, the president and the eldest lady, and the eldest lady looked a little calm. It was equivalent to the president taking on the entire raw material pre-processing area alone.
Those players who only knew how to follow the crowd finally came to their senses and realized that they were too hasty in running over here without caring about anything.
I'm hesitating whether I should leave first and not get involved in this mess.
Anyway, the main quest hasn't been updated yet, so why rush to give away your life?
At this moment, the system that had been online neither in the morning nor in the evening finally spoke.
【Plot summary:
Yesterday evening, you finally passed the interview and became an intern at Perfect Company.
Today, you are full of enthusiasm and want to work hard to contribute to the perfect new world.
However, due to the rebellion of some employees, the person in charge of the packaging area was bewitched, the raw material pretreatment area was cleared, and the hidden files of Perfect Company were lost.
The repair area is forced to open, monsters are rampant, and in order to rebuild a beautiful new world, players need to re-select their camp. 】
Players who have been following the routine and have only been involved in part-time tasks are confused. What is a hidden file?
Then they all looked at the two people at the bottom of the pool.
Where do you two find the time to do so many things?
Especially since everyone was a little dazed, if the system hadn’t reminded them, they would have forgotten about it.
I just entered the dungeon last night, and now in less than a day, the dungeon has been upgraded to S level.
Is this reasonable?
With the young lady around, after all, this player had already achieved the feat of leveling up twice in a day and a half in the Blood Moon Night dungeon.
Sorry, we were careless.
The eldest lady is obviously very low-key.
Nan Huan was also a little depressed. She really wanted to say that she didn't mean it, but given the current situation, it was obvious that no one would believe her even if she explained.
She curled her lips and hid behind Bei Xi, unwilling to endure those scrutiny.
But who knows, the more torment is not here, the system doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
[Camp 1: Dean and Boss Camp
Main mission: Eliminate the rebels and restore order in the perfect new world.
Current number of players in the camp: 0]
Although except Nan Huan and Bei Xi, other players had no idea what was going on with the sudden appearance of the dean.
But it is obvious that the word "boss" after the word "jian" has made many players look forward to it.
Only Beixi and Nanhuan's expressions were not so good.
[Camp 2: Rebel Camp
Main mission: Eliminate pollution sources, purify pollution, and create a truly beautiful world.
Current number of players in the camp: 2]
The two camps had different initial numbers of players, which surprised the other players.
But Nan Huan felt his temples twitching and he had a bad feeling.
[Miss Player, the servant under the player's skirt has no choice in the main mission due to their identity as rebels, and automatically belongs to camp two.
There is no limit to the number of people in each camp.
Except for the above two players, the remaining players please make a decision within one hour.
Players who exceed the time limit or fail to make a choice will be deemed to have forfeited and will be eliminated directly.
The countdown begins. 】
Because of the system's notification, the vibration and shaking at the bottom of the large pool temporarily stopped.
Bad premonitions always come true, Nan Huan no longer wants to struggle.
She leaned on Bei Xi's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest. After all, both of them had been named by the system and had no right to choose.
You might as well take a rest now, as you will probably be busy later.
As soon as she left the hut, Bei Xi healed all her injuries.
But today's entire day of missions and escaping death had really taken a toll on her.
So Nanhuan looked a little tired.
Bei Xi had already hugged her in his arms when she came closer.
He quickly took out a blanket and water from the warehouse, sat on the ground, let Nan Huan lean on him comfortably, and gave her some water.
"Can you still hold on?"
Bei Xi also knew that judging from the current situation, a fierce battle was inevitable, and she was a little worried about Nan Huan's condition.
"It's okay, don't worry, I just ate something."
Nan Huan rubbed his belly and smiled at her.
Indeed, because of absorbing the white light bands in the pool, her body was not as weak as before.
Bei Xi kissed her on the forehead lovingly, then hugged her tighter and massaged her acupoints and joints to relax them.
Nan Huan hummed comfortably and leaned in Bei Xi's arms to recuperate.
The two of them acted as if they were alone, which made the player standing at the top of the pool feel a little at a loss.
It has come to this, and these two people still want to find a way to lobby the players who have a good relationship with them to strengthen their team, so as to avoid others from joining forces.
But the two of them acted as if nothing had happened, and didn't even want to say a word to the people in their original team.
After all, the way the system assigns camps seems to be afraid that all players will not oppose them.
There is no limit on the number of people in each camp, and the other side is restricted from making choices.
Faction One is almost telling players explicitly that this is the biggest NPC in the game, with the home field advantage, and is the player choice that the game system is happy to see.
Moreover, the opposing camp has two public enemies.
One is the number one ranked player and also the president of the number one ranked guild. Many people are trying overtly or covertly to trip up the other and knock him down from the number one position.
Let the servants under the skirt also fall from the altar and give it a try.
The other one, holding a fragment of the Totem of Faith in his hand, is now considered the public enemy of almost all players.
There is a fair opportunity to deal with the two people without being restricted by the rules of the game, and there is even the support of the game's biggest NPC.
This is almost an easy question, what else is there to choose from?
What's more, the goal of Camp 2 is to eliminate the source of pollution, eliminate the bionic people, and create a brand new world.
This is simply to overturn this copy, how is this possible?
In this situation, who would be so stupid as to choose camp two?
Most players have this idea in their minds, but no one is willing to be the first to choose it.
This is a team battle after all, and human nature is to follow the crowd.
However, while they were hesitating, the first person who chose Camp One saw that the number of players in Camp Two had increased from 2 to 3 as soon as the system finished speaking.
Is this the wrong choice?
How could someone make a decision so quickly, so hastily, and without thinking?
The hesitant players all turned their attention to the several members of the original Packing Team 3 who were standing at the edge of the big pool.
The few people who were being annotated all turned their gazes to Twelve.
After all, in their opinion, apart from her, no one else at the scene would be so decisive and impulsive.
Hongfen found it hard to believe why the 12th Company didn't struggle at all, but she was the head of the guild after all, so it was not appropriate to ask directly.
Fortunately, Chenyu, who was standing by, was also very surprised, "You chose camp two?"
When Twelve heard her ask himself, he looked up and realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him without him noticing.
She was startled and nodded, "Well, what's wrong?"
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her choice, or anything wrong with it, but it made Chenyu not know how to ask the question "why".
And she didn't lobby others just because she was in the same team with them. After nodding, she jumped into the pool neatly.
Not far from Beixi and Nanhuan, they stopped at a suitable guarding position.
The two people behind him were not surprised at all by Twelve's choice, they just continued talking about their own things with confidence.
Chenyu swallowed and looked at Hongfen, "President, what should we do? Should we... choose camp one and fight... against President Yi?"
She spoke this sentence intermittently.
After all, whenever she thought of such a scene, she felt her legs tremble and wanted to escape.
There is no doubt that fighting against a guild leader will make players feel scared from the bottom of their hearts, even if the game has already made a great tilt towards fairness.
This is also why no one has stepped forward and directly chosen camp one so far.
Hongfen did not answer immediately, but turned her gaze to Wu Tong.
Two minutes later.
Camp One is still empty.
The team of Camp 2 has grown from 3 people to 7 people.
