The middle-aged man held a gun in his hand, but he weighed the situation and chose not to shoot.
He looked at the man in gold-rimmed glasses in silence and asked, "Is all this prepared for me?"
"Not really."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled and explained, "I didn't intend to use such drastic means to invite you in, but plans are not as fast as changes, so I can only act in advance. I have a good project and need your help. I'll leave tonight."
The middle-aged man looked up at him and said calmly, "The institute has done a good job of confidentiality. It's useless for you to arrest me."
"I know."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "So when I came to pick you up, the people I arranged in the secret research project you presided over were transporting the instruments and key parasites you needed... It was Master Ling who helped my people in, and he always had the urge to resist you and retaliate against you... In addition, a strong pollution incident is about to break out in the central city."
"The special operations team of Satellite City No. 7 should not be able to take care of us at this time, and they will not arrive in a short time."
"So, we have plenty of time to pick you up."
As he spoke, he put on his glasses again, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation!"
…
The middle-aged man followed the man with gold-rimmed glasses out of the car. He didn't shake hands with him, but just looked around.
He saw that the armed men who had protected him before had turned into flesh-and-blood monsters one after another. They were not dead yet, but their bodies were twitching, and the flesh on their bodies surged like expanding foam, growing granulations.
When they came into contact with each other, these granulations connected together and became larger pieces of meat.
"Eh~~"
The growth of these pieces of meat was not silent, and they faintly emitted the sound of babies crying.
"Have you reached this level of research in the field of life?"
"It's really beyond my imagination."
The middle-aged man looked at the squirming, indescribable pieces of meat on the ground, frowned, and asked the man with gold-rimmed glasses: "So, you are the person who was related to the escaped laboratory that the stalkers have been looking for before... Chen Xun?"
"Yes, Dr. Zhao Shiming."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled and slowly put down his outstretched hand, saying: "We should have a lot of common topics."
"After all, our research directions are the same."
"So, I hope Dr. Zhao can follow me and take a look at the project I'm working on!"
"Of course."
He smiled and said: "I am also saving Dr. Zhao's life. If you go to the detention center now, you will die, and the central city will suffer great losses... I understand your anger, so if you really want revenge, only I can help you."
"..."
Zhao Shiming didn't say much. After two seconds of silence, he said: "I'll go with you."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled and said sincerely: "We can pick up Master Ling..."
"Although his injuries are indeed serious, I think with my skills, I should be able to cure him."
"..."
Zhao Shiming smiled mockingly and shook his head: "No need."
"Who knows if he is still my son after your treatment."
"..."
He did not resist in vain, and he even put his gun in his pocket.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was also very generous and did not even try to take Zhao Shiming's gun away.
"Are we just leaving like this?"
However, when Zhao Shiming was preparing Chen Xun's car, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the pieces of meat all over the ground, and said:
"This kind of spiritual body is not the most harmful, but it is the most dangerous. Its interference with reality, especially with people, is too strong. If you leave these things here, will the threat to the central city be too terrible?"
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Xun smiled and said, "Only in this way can we ensure that we can leave smoothly."
"And, I also need to use this method to let the institute know the research results I have made now."
Zhao Shiming didn't say anything else and got on the car. A snow-white light cut through the rain curtain and drove quickly towards the north gate.
Under the rain curtain, only the slimy and squirming flesh was trembling slightly.
The faint cry of a baby was heard far away in the rain curtain, affecting one person after another.
...
"What's wrong?"
Lu Xin, who was quietly sitting in the detention center and taking a nap, suddenly woke up.
He looked up and saw the little window. His sister was holding the iron window with both hands and looking out.
"I don't know."
His sister shook her head and said, "But I feel like there seems to be something familiar there..."
"Familiar?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised: "Then why don't you go over and take a look?"
"I can't go that far."
His sister looked at Lu Xin angrily and said, "You refuse to go out again."
"I broke the law..."
Lu Xin explained to his sister with some embarrassment, wondering why something familiar to his sister appeared at this time.
Just as he was considering whether to ask the guard for leave and go out first, his sister jumped down.
"Okay, it's gone!"
"So soon?"
Lu Xin frowned, and at the same time, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
This smell of blood was not the first time he had smelled it.
Before, in the motel, when the third monster hiding in the dark rescued the man in the suit, he also left a pile of strange rotten flesh and blood in the yard. Before the flesh and blood completely turned into blood and disappeared, it exuded this smell.
But compared with that time, the smell I smell now is a little lighter because of the distance.
However, this bloody smell is getting worse.
"Eh~~"
Suddenly, there was a thin, soft cry, which was very strange among the snoring in the warehouses on both sides.
"What is that?"
Lu Xin raised his head suddenly, walked to the fence and looked out.
In the warehouses on both sides, some people were awakened and muttered: "Why are children sent here too?"
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
"What is this?"
"Fuck..."
"..."
Suddenly, screams of fear and violent gunshots rang out outside.
Everyone in the warehouse woke up and leaned on the railings to watch.
"Why are they shooting again?"
"Is anyone crying?"
"..."
Amidst the panicked discussions, Lu Xin was silent for a while, then his bones made a crackling sound, and he crawled out of the railings, then he looked out along the corridor. When he came to the first door, he saw that the police officer on duty outside was gone, the iron door was locked, the gunshots and screams outside were getting more and more frequent, and a strong smell of blood could be smelled.
The iron door was locked, Lu Xin hesitated for a moment, then reached forward and reached out.
He dug a hole in the locked door lock, then opened the door and walked out.
Just after turning an intersection, he saw several police officers running away screaming, and behind them, several bloated monsters with squirming flesh and blood were moving slowly, with several mouths on their bodies, and some of their mouths were making the cry of babies.
"What is this?"
Lu Xin frowned tightly, feeling that these were somewhat similar to the second-stage madmen he had seen in Baita Town.
However, these monsters did not seem to be stable.
"Don't panic!"
He shouted in a low voice, while holding up his pants and rushing forward, and took the gun from a guard.
"Bang" "Bang"
The bullet accurately shot into the monster, theoretically where the head should be, and a ball of blood was blown out.
However, facing the monster that was somewhat like mucus to some extent, this degree of bullet hole did not seem to be fatal.
It was just that the flesh and blood covered it downwards, submerging the wound and even recovering as before.
The damage caused by the gunfire was extremely limited.
Lu Xin looked down at his feet, and the shadow did not seem to change at all.
He remembered that his father did not like this kind of smelly monster, and could even be said to hate it.
So he took a deep breath and turned his head to look around.
In the hall in front, there was a small table in the middle, with some dishes and two bottles of wine on it. On the window next to it, there was a tattered curtain. The guard behind him was already panicking, and was desperately running towards the small door of the detention room.
Even if the monster moved slowly, it had already arrived in front of him, slowly raising its hand to grab him.
Lu Xin sighed, twisted his body, dodged the monster's grab, then raised his foot, kicked the monster's knee, jumped high, and then smashed down with his knee, directly knocking the monster that looked like a mollusk down.
At the same time, he stepped on the monster with one foot, rushed to the left with the force, and reached out to pull down the curtain.
With a roll, the curtain rolled over the two bottles of wine in the front hall, and then he clamped the bottles with his arm, freed his other hand, and directly wrapped the curtain around the falling monster, wrapping it several times in a row, then grabbed a bottle with one hand, bit off the cork with his mouth, raised the two bottles, and poured all the wine on the monster.
Throwing away the bottle, he took out the green plastic lighter that the little guard had just given him.
With a "pop", the flame shot up high.
Lu Xin lit it, but it didn't light up. The wine burned very slowly.
He had to bring the flame close to the monster, protect it with his hand, and slowly ignite the curtain.
As the fire started, with the help of alcohol, it became strong with a "whoosh", like a burning torch.
…
After taking a few steps back, Lu Xin said to the guards, "Hide behind me, I will protect you."
The guards, who were in a state of panic, were stunned when they saw the man who came out of the detention room with his pants up. Facing his gentle smile, there was a sense of division that could not be expressed in words, and no one spoke for a while. Of course, no one asked him how he escaped at this time, and why the prisoners could not escape.
The guard whose gun he had taken away was a little hesitant, but he returned the gun to himself.
"What happened?"
Lu Xin walked out slowly, and solved two monsters that had already taken shape and one monster that had not taken shape.
These monsters were terrifying and had a strange sense of horror, but they were not difficult to deal with.
When he came to the front hall, he felt the bloody smell was stronger. Looking out with the weak light, he saw the sudden explosion of fire and the needle-like crying of babies in the misty rain curtain.
"Is this the third monster that has not appeared in the hotel before?"
"What is it doing?"
"..."
Lu Xin frowned and felt a strange and uncomfortable feeling.
"Woo..."
Just at this time, a long alarm sounded, spreading from all corners to the whole city.
Lu Xin had heard such a sound twice in Qinggang.
Although this sound often represents disaster, danger and panic, Lu Xin's mood calmed down all of a sudden.
He knew that this meant that the professional cleanup staff in the central city would intervene.
Monsters and ability users, chaos and order, are about to collide violently again.
And at this time...
He walked back with confidence and knocked on the door leading to the detention room.
Since someone was already doing their work, of course I should continue to do what I should do.
Detained.
