138.
Lu Xiaoliu and the black smoke beast were in a stalemate. Finally, he exerted force suddenly and actually pried apart the beast's two front paws. The tall beast fell straight to the side.
Without hesitation, he leaped forward and punched the black smoke beast on the head. The beast twitched for a while, then fell silent, and its body turned into light dust.
When the dust settled, Lu Xiaoliu staggered a few steps, his body somewhat unsteady. Lu Cai could sense his strain. But even so, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was not a normal human being.
Lu Cai watched him slowly turn around. The light was dim, with many fragments of light casting a shadow on his face, making the scar on his side very conspicuous. In that moment, as she looked at the scar, her anger could no longer be suppressed, and it seemed that it would burst out in the next second.
Lu Xiaoliu stood under the car, walked slowly closer, pulled off the red rope on his wrist, and handed it to her.
Looking at the red string lying on the other's fair palm, Lu Cai realized something belatedly. He had given her the red string for a simple reason: it had the power to protect her.
But how did he know she would be attacked by a monster? And why did he give her such a precious thing?
Lu Cai was lost in thought when Lu Jue's voice brought her back to reality: "Are you okay?"
The tone was a little fierce, but it couldn't hide the worry. Lu Cai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard it. This cheap brother actually worried about her?
Lu Jue tried his best to protect Gu Mengshu, and the two of them ran to Lu Cai's side through countless dangers. Before he could see the scene clearly, he saw a figure leap onto the car body and immediately enveloped the stunned Lu Cai.
He was so anxious that he was about to climb up when he saw the figure flash and be pushed off the hood. The place where he fell was quite far from the car body. The person hit the side of the car wall. His face was calm, but his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was in some pain.
Lu Cai also woke up. She lowered her eyes and saw the red rope hanging on her wrist. Then she realized that Lu Xiaoliu was putting the bracelet on her.
She raised her eyes again to look at Lu Xiaoliu who had fallen far away after being pushed by her. His brows were slightly frowned and his breathing was a little rapid. He showed no trace of the toughness and bravery he had shown when confronting the beast just now.
She supported herself on the hood and tried to get up. She felt a burst of warmth on her wrist, but her eyes blurred and her body swayed slightly.
——Test 362 completed. 666, you must try to use the □□ I equipped you.
—Test 481 completed. 666, you overexerted yourself this time, depleting your energy too quickly. Without my energy replenishment, you'll be at a disadvantage. Remember, controlling the overall situation is more important than winning a small chase.
......
——The... 758th... test completed... 666, now, restore initial settings... Block... Block all test data... Clear... Clear...
Lu Cai suddenly woke up, the chaotic scene on the bridge still before her eyes. She was dizzy for a moment, and then she heard Gu Mengshu and Lu Jue calling out.
"Little Tailor!"
She tilted her head and saw Gu Mengshu's anxious face.
"Lu Cai, are you okay?"
Maybe it was an illusion, that little brat Lu Jue could actually speak more than five words to her.
Screams continued to reach his ears from all directions, and Lu Cai had no time to figure out what he had just heard. He quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at Lu Xiaoliu.
"Let's go—" she said, and jumped out of the car, her hands and feet light and her landing steady.
Lu Cai ran to Lu Xiaoliu's side and whispered, "Can you still move?"
Lu Xiaoliu looked up at her, then supported the bicycle and tried to get up.
Lu Cai quickly supported him, thinking that since he was a tall man of 1.8 to 1.9 meters, his bones would still be quite heavy, so he couldn't help but use some strength.
Who knew that she couldn't control herself and lifted the other person's head up. Although it was only lifted up for a moment, the person in her hand was like a balloon, which caught Lu Cai off guard.
Lu Xiaoliu was probably also frightened by her. After she quickly relaxed her grip, he landed on the ground with both feet and looked at Lu Cai in confusion.
"Where are we going now?" Lu Jue ran up, pulling Gu Mengshu.
Lu Cai was also having a headache. The street was in chaos. If the monsters were not limited in number, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape. They had to leave the bridge first.
Several people walked carefully along the bridge railing, avoiding the areas where monsters were rampant.
Just as it was about to get off the bridge, there was a muffled roar, and the black smoke broke through the steel bridge railing, jumped onto the bridge surface from the east path under the bridge, and shook its head, just blocking the way in front of several people.
Seeing that the beast was dizzy and lost, Lu Cai made a quick decision and wanted to pull the people around him to escape, but before he ran, he realized that there were not only Gu Mengshu and Lu Jue around him, but also a school security guard who was slightly injured by his push.
Fortunately, his younger brother seemed reliable for a moment, pulling Gu Mengshu into the lane from the side. Lu Cai followed closely behind, and just as he was about to leave the bridge railing, the dazed beast came to his senses.
It quickly noticed several people running away from one side, and rushed in the direction it was heading.
Lu Cai was helping Lu Xiaoliu into the alley between the vehicles and had no time to look back. However, the cool breeze on the back of her head made her expression startle and she subconsciously turned around and punched.
Her fist hit the sharp, uneven shell, but it didn't hurt much. She saw the huge monster in front of her was thrown out by the force of her fist and fell on an empty car not far away, causing a loud noise.
Lu Cai was stunned. Helping Lu Xiaoliu just now could be considered an illusion, but this situation now fully proved her strength.
When her eyes fell on the red rope on her wrist, she realized that this rope was the source of her strange power.
Lu Jue calmed down and quickly turned around to support Lu Xiaoliu: "Let's go!"
But where should they go? The beasts were so aggressive and powerful that even if they hid in a building, they could still break through the walls.
Lu Xiaoliu beside her pulled her arm. Lu Cai looked at him and saw him pinching the school logo on the chest of his security uniform.
Lu Cai understood what he meant: "You want us to go back to school?"
Lu Xiaoliu nodded.
"What's wrong?" Gu Mengshu noticed that the two had stopped and quickly pulled Lu Jue over, "Let's go—"
"He asked us to go to school..." Lu Cai looked at Gu Mengshu and suddenly remembered the campus ghost story that Yue Xiaoyan told him in the computer class.
A large dog, a dark shadow, and black smoke...a murder in the laboratory building!
"Did this monster start from the school?" Lu Cai looked at Lu Xiaoliu again. To be exact, it started from the laboratory building.
Lu Xiaoliu neither nodded nor shook his head, he just looked at Lu Cai quietly.
After the two looked at each other, Lu Cai looked away first: "Let's go back to school."
"Do you believe him?" Lu Jue frowned and walked closer.
"How about you choose where to go?" Lu Cai couldn't decide where the three people were going, and now he couldn't stop to discuss.
Gu Mengshu made a decisive decision: "Let's go to your school together!"
Cai Lu held Lu Xiaoliu's arm as they walked past the sirens blaring. "Why did you ask us to go to school?"
Could it be that they wanted to solve this disaster from the root? But they were just ordinary people. Only Lu Cai could be considered an abnormal person, but he was still some distance away from being a hero and saving the world.
Lu Xiaoliu just paused and didn't answer the question. Lu Cai glanced at him sideways and found that this man really didn't like to talk.
"He can't speak." Lu Jue was not far behind them, so he naturally heard Lu Cai's question.
Cai Lu was a little surprised, then looked at Lu Xiaoliu and found that he did not deny it.
Fortunately, they didn't drive far and soon returned to the school gate.
Traffic was stuck in traffic all the way, and the shouting here was much quieter, probably because most of the pedestrians and car owners had already run away.
When Lu Xiaoliu felt better, Lu Cai let him go and ran towards the security office. She looked inside from the windowsill. The lights were still on and the items on the table were a little messy, but the security guard on duty was nowhere to be seen.
The power gate was closed, and she planned to go in and look for a remote control or something to open the gate first. After all, given the leaping ability of the black smoke beast, such a short gate would definitely not be able to stop them.
Lu Cai climbed onto the flower bed, pushed open the window, and climbed in from the windowsill. She first checked the drawer of the desk, but there were some paper registration forms and a box of black pens, nothing else.
Lu Xiaoliu also climbed in along the windowsill, understood her intention, turned and went into the inner room, and when he came out, he was holding the remote control key for opening the door in his hand.
He is a security guard in the Security Department and is very familiar with the location of the objects here.
Lu Cai took the remote control key he handed over, opened the gate, and called Lu Jue and Gu Mengshu in. After the two came in, he closed the door again and left the remote control key on the desk.
......
The campus was much quieter than outside. There were several mutilated bodies lying on the asphalt road. Some were students who were running away, and some were teachers who were preparing to leave for get off work.
It can be seen from those corpses that they must have endured great pain when they died, and finally died in endless despair.
Lu Cai was still thinking about where to hide when he sensed a different aura.
It wasn't a breath... She didn't know how to explain this feeling. Something was different from everything around her, and she could easily distinguish that "difference".
even......
"There are people in the dormitory building." Lu Cai looked towards the dormitory, which was pitch black. "There are quite a few people... There are also monsters outside... Two..."
Lu Xiaoliu was not surprised at all and looked in the direction she was looking.
Meanwhile, Lu Jue frowned, until Gu Mengshu asked in surprise, "Xiao Cai, how did you know?"
Lu Cai also frowned. She sensed it, but she couldn't explain what was going on.
"Should we go take a look?" Lu Cai continued, "Or should we find a place to hide first?"
Lu Jue also looked over there: "If there really are two monsters, are those people okay?"
The others understood what he meant. If Lu Cai was correct, the safest place now was the dormitory building because many people were still alive.
"How about I go and take a look first, confirm the situation, and then decide whether to go to the dormitory building?" Cai Lu hesitated and asked for their opinions.
Gu Mengshu immediately rejected her proposal: "This is too dangerous!"
Lu Xiaoliu on the side pulled Lu Cai's sleeve, indicating that he wanted to go with her.
Before Lu Cai could speak, Lu Jue on the side finally spoke: "Let's go and take a look together."
