48. The culprit

At that moment, the guards in the cafeteria stood up and loaded their guns. The atmosphere that had been relaxed was tense again.

Mo Ye, who had been by Han Li's side, turned around and was about to rush to the exit of the restaurant, when it remembered something and turned to look at Han Li.

Han Li nodded at it: "Go!" ”

Mo Ye flew away.

Just as Zhou Yu and Wu Yun were rushing back to the restaurant with Li Qian and Zhou Qing, they heard the sound of rapid running and screaming.

"Helpβ€”help!"

Xiao Zhao, Zhou Qing's research assistant, ran frantically with a frightened face, while he was followed by two researchers in white coats. Both researchers bowed their heads, as if something was about to burst out of their mouths.

Xiao Zhao's tears were about to fall, and seeing Zhou Qing and Wu Yun was like seeing a life-saving straw: "Professor Zhou! Help, save me, save me! ”

Xiao Zhao threw himself into Zhou Qing's arms.

And the two researchers spit out the bone eaters in their mouths in unison, and Zhou Yu and Wu Yun did not hesitate to pull the trigger and hit the foreheads of the two researchers, and the two of them fell to the ground.

"Xiao Zhao! How did you end up here? Didn't it make you stay with everyone in the restaurant? Zhou Qing asked sharply.

"We've been in the car for so long, I want to go to the bathroom! There were two guards who accompanied me into the bathroom, but by the time I came out, both of them had fallen to the ground! I realized that something was wrong, so I immediately rushed out of the bathroom shouting for help, but I found that the door to the restaurant was closed! Then the two researchers came out out of nowhere, and I thought something was wrong with their looks, so I tried to avoid them, but the more I hid, the more they chased me. One of them spewed out that big, disgusting bug, and I just fell and dodged it! And then I'll run on and I'll run into you! The horror on Xiao Zhao's face has not yet dissipated.

But Zhou Qing was dragged behind by Zhou Yu.

"Who are you? Are you saying that Wu Yun and I can't 100% avoid the bone eater, but you have run all the way and still haven't hit? ”

The strength in Zhou Yu's gaze made Xiao Zhao almost unable to raise his head.

"I really dodged it...... Or are you just trying to kill me? Xiao Zhao shook his head and cried and stepped back.

Li Qian was the easiest to be soft-hearted, and he was about to take half a step forward but was dragged by Zhou Qing: "Don't move." ”

As Xiao Zhao retreated, the lights behind him suddenly dimmed all day, and Xiao Zhao disappeared into the darkness.

Zhou Yu looked into the walkie-talkie and informed everyone: "Be careful of Professor Zhou's research assistant Zhao Xiaotian!" He should have been infected by the Bone Eaters! ”

"What are we going to do? Are you chasing Xiao Zhao? Or go back to the restaurant? Wu Yun asked.

"Of course, go back to the restaurant and take everyone out of this hellish place."

They still used the original formation, Wu Yun walked in front with a gun, Zhou Qing and Li Qian in the center, and Zhou Yu turned his back and held a gun and pointed in the direction where Xiao Zhao left, breaking behind.

But just when Wu Yun took Li Qian and Zhou Qinggang through a passage node, the gate of the passage suddenly fell, and seeing that Li Qian was about to be hit in the shoulder, Zhou Yu reacted and kicked him over, but he was locked on the other side of the passage.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu! Wu slammed the door vigorously.

Zhou Yu said into the walkie-talkie: "If this door will fall, it means that someone is monitoring us and manipulating the system here!" Wu Yun, you take Li Qian to other places where you can operate the computer, and get the system control back! ”

Wu Yun gritted his teeth, he knew that it was impossible to open the door with their strength: "Okay! I'll take Li Qian to find the computer now! We stay in touch at all times! ”

"Of course." Zhou Yu turned around and stared at the darkness in front of him.

Zhou Yu was almost certain that the observation station would be infected by the bone eater insect and that it was artificial, and that the person who started it was the person who was now sitting in front of the computer, looking at the screen.

Wu Yun, but Li Qian and Zhou Qing went all the way forward, and every research room was locked, and they couldn't enter at all.

"Damn......" Wu Yun gritted his teeth, at this moment he was worried about Zhou Yu's safety, the longer he stayed in the dark passage, the more dangerous it became.

Wu Yun picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the people in the restaurant: "Evacuate all the people from the observation post." ”

However, the response was that the exit to the observation post was also locked.

"Are we going to be left here to be food for the Bone Eaters?" Li Qian asked.

Darkness always has a frightening effect, especially when nothing is visible. Zhou Yu was focused, and he could feel that something was moving towards him.

Suddenly, he took out a spare flashlight pinned to his thigh, and a straight line of bright light shone out, right on Xiao Zhao's pale face.

He looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, his expression was exactly the same as that of Professor Lu before, very mad.

Before he could bend down, Zhou Yu jerked sideways and turned off the flashlight, then pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the wall.

Zhou Yu held his breath and moved his steps very carefully. Where has Xiao Zhao gone now? In which direction will he be? Zhou Yu listened very carefully.

At a certain moment, he felt a stream of air hitting him, Zhou Yu squatted down suddenly, raised his pistol and fired a decisive shot in that direction by feeling, and then quickly moved his position.

In the darkness he heard something falling, and the sound of muscles and veins tearing.

Finally, he turned on the flashlight again, and it shone right on Xiao Zhao's wide-eyed face, his mouth was almost cracked, and a bone eater was exposed, already dead.

Zhou Yu calmed his breathing, he knew that this qiΔ“ was not the end, but some kind of beginning.

At the moment when he stood up, the nodes of the passage in front of him suddenly opened, and the darkness was suddenly replaced by light, and Zhou Yu almost didn't open his eyes.

But this light is cold, and the brighter it is, the more cold it is in my heart.

Only the passage in front of it was opened, which meant that the other party only allowed Zhou Yu to continue to walk forward, not backward.

At this moment, Wu Yun was very anxious, he came to the door of a real room, raised his gun at the door of the real room, and fired several shots.

"It's useless, if the door of the real yΓ n room can be opened by a bullet, then it won't be the real yΓ n room of the Juli Group."

Zhou Qing replied.

"That's right! And Ink Night! The power of the ink night is great! Maybe it can break through the doors of these nodes! And as an A-class creature, it might be able to manipulate these bone-eaters in the same way that it manipulates sand whales! Wu Yun immediately contacted Han Li.

"Mo Ye seems to know that you are in danger, and has already gone to look for you!" Han Li's answer made everyone exhale.

"It's just...... Where did Ink Night go? Wu Yun frowned, "Do you want to equip Mo Ye with a walkie-talkie in the future?" ”

"Let's not rely on Moye all! See if there's anything we can do right now? Using the bomb equipped by Wu Yun to blow up the passage door, does Professor Zhou think it is feasible? Li Qian asked Zhou Qing.

"How many blasting bombs does Wu Yun have?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Three. We can try to blow the door of the lab open! ”

Zhou Qing sighed: "I can only try it like this, although I don't think the result is optimistic." ”

At this time, Zhou Yu held his gun and braked quietly.

He knew that even if he didn't come forward, the hidden enemy would naturally come.

More than ten seconds passed, the whole passage was so quiet that it seemed that the whole world was asleep, Zhou Yu's heart beat vigorously, and he said to himself: He has already seen even the worst results.

It was like testing his patience, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Zhou Yu always maintained a vigilant posture, and his arm holding the gun did not even shake.

He knew that in this battle, either he lost patience and stepped forward, or the other party lost patience.

At a certain moment when Zhou Yu was breathing, a commotion was heard in the passage ahead, and something was pouring down from above.

Zhou Yu's shoulders tensed instantly, it was a group of guards who had been eaten by bone eaters and even their muscles began to fester!

It turns out that they are still in the base!

Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and he watched as one of the eyes that shook the original unfocused eyes suddenly stared at him.

Zhou Yu didn't hesitate and immediately pulled the trigger. But that body was far more flexible than Zhou Yu imagined. He suddenly moved to one side, and the other guards suddenly dispersed, and the bullet grazed the shoulder of one of the guards and hit the passage door.

The whole passage seemed to vibrate.

There were a total of eight people, all rushing towards Zhou Yu at the same moment.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu couldn't help but didn't step forward just now, otherwise he would have no chance to take action at all when he was so close!

In the eyes of those guards, there was a madness that had long since lost their humanity, some of their faces were so festering that they could not make out their facial features, and some of their limbs were only connected to bones, as if they regarded Zhou Yu as the last nourishment, and their mouths sprayed bone eaters, like arrows without branches.

Time is like a century compressed into a second in an instant.

Zhou Yu pulled the trigger and fired the first shot, hitting one of them right in, and the bone eater in his mouth burst out an arm's length away from Zhou Yu. The other seven people rushed to be the first, and Zhou Yu had to make a judgment in an instant, who to shoot first, who to shoot later, and how to shoot!

The bullet seemed to be discharged without thinking, Zhou Yu turned sideways to avoid a bone eater, and then lowered his body, feeling something shuttle at high speed above his bent back, and raised his hand to shoot again. Jumped up with one hand, kicked away a guy who had already run in front of him, quickly retreated, opened the distance, locked the position by feeling, and Zhou Yu fired another shot.

Zhou Yu replaced the magazine as quickly as possible, but when he raised the gun, a guard had already come to Zhou Yu, looking at him with his cloudy eyes, seeing that the bone eater in his mouth was about to squirt out again, a qiΔ“ in Zhou Yu's eyes seemed to become slow motion, Zhou Yu raised the muzzle of the gun and hit the opponent's knee, the neurotoxin spread instantly, and the bone eater fell down in the moment when Zhou Yu could even feel the temperature of the disgusting creature.

The moment this guard fell, Zhou Yu was shocked to find that the remaining two had arrived in front of him, one left and one right, but it was too late.

Zhou Yu raised his gun and said to himself that killing one will be counted as one!

Just as he hit the one on the left and was about to be bitten by the bone eater on the right, it exploded.

Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously dodged, but it was still too late to avoid the splashing plasma and pus.

At that moment, a hand reached out from behind Zhou Yu and covered Zhou Yu's face, and Zhou Yu stepped back, his back slamming into someone's chest.

The heart suddenly tightened.

There is someone else here besides him!

Is it an infected Guardian?

Zhou Yu's elbow pushed back, and the other party stepped back directly, and at that moment, he felt something warm squeezing his earlobe.

Such familiar temperature and a sense of stability...... Zhou Yu turned around and raised his gun, and saw a familiar face.

With fair skin, elegant lines but not feminine facial features, and a lazy demeanor between his eyebrows and eyes, he has such a young and pure face.

"You're dodging too quickly. I'd like to hold you a little longer. ”

He took a step forward and stood up to Zhou Yu's muzzle in a grand manner.

"My bullet contains neurotoxins." Zhou Yu replied.

But the other party was sticking tighter, and he lowered his head slightly and turned his face sideways, as if to see Zhou Yu's eyes more clearly.

"Then do you want to shoot it? See if you can really kill me. ”

His eyes are very beautiful, but his gaze is extremely powerful, as if he has dragged Zhou Yu's thinking ability out in a circle.

For the first time, Zhou Yu found that even his breathing, which he had always controlled, seemed to have lost its frequency.

"How did you get in?" Zhou Yu stared at each other deadly.

The boy pointed to the top of his head, and Zhou Yu found that the ventilation channel had been opened and the air displacement blades had been removed.

The young man pursed his lips and smiled, with a cunning look in his eyes, he pressed against Zhou Yu's muzzle even harder, and Zhou Yu could only retreat.

This young man knows Zhou Yu's bottom line better than anyone else, but with a willful attitude, he forced Zhou Yu's bottom line back again and again.

"Don't you want to know who the man who kept so many bone eaters is?" The young man spoke, his face so close to Zhou Yu that his breath swept between Zhou Yu's lips with a slight but hard to ignore force.

"They're raised?"

This was completely beyond Zhou Yu's expectations.

The young man's fingers touched the fingertips of Zhou Yu's trigger, and with a slight push, the gun was unloaded.

Zhou Yu's eyes widened, this qiΔ“ happened so naturally that he didn't even have time to react.

The young man walked in front of Zhou Yu and walked past the corpses of the guards, and he turned his head in his heart to find that Zhou Yu was still standing in the same place.

"You're afraid of me?" The boy smiled, and the originally cold light fell too much on the corners of his sunken lips, creating an unusual sense of mystery.

"Of course not." Zhou Yu lowered his face and followed behind the other party.

Zhou Yu asked, but he didn't know where to start.

The road in front of them was blocked by a node, and the boy just smiled softly, and put his hand on the door, and with a slight push of his shoulder, the whole door was pushed down.

It fell arrogantly, the sound of touching the ground lingering through the passage.

Zhou Yu gasped, but the young man turned sideways to look at Zhou Yu, as if waiting for his approach, until Zhou Yu came to him and hung the gun on his finger and stretched it out in front of Zhou Yu.

"You don't need it with me, but I want to ...... You're going to want to that guy with your own hands. ”

Zhou Yu took his gun, and at the same moment, the young man suddenly leaned towards him, his eyes so clear that they seemed to reflect the sun's rays on the surface of the lake, inexplicably familiar.

His lips were getting closer and closer to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu even began to subconsciously imagine the temperature and touch of the young man's lips, at the moment when Zhou Yu's heartbeat was unbalanced, the young man suddenly straightened his back and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

He turned to leave, Zhou Yu looked at his back, but he didn't understand what was the reason for his momentary loss just now.

The passage was still silent, except for the footsteps of the two of them, and as they moved forward step by step, the footsteps of the two gradually merged into one.

This made Zhou Yu feel that he was the only one left in the world, and the young man in front of him was just an illusion born of his own despair.

Has he been devoured by the Bone Eaters?

The young man's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he smiled and beckoned to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu came to his side, followed his line of sight, and saw a research room.

Through the glass of the second door of the research room, Zhou Yu saw a female researcher sitting in front of the computer, she looked at Zhou Yu in horror, her body trembled, but she was stiff and motionless.

Zhou Yu turned his face sideways, only to find that a gun was held against the researcher's head, but it was blocked by the door, and the other party's face could not be seen.

"Someone forced her to manipulate the surveillance system here?" Zhou Yu frowned.

The boy smiled indifferently, put his hand over the first door, and with a force, the door was removed.

Zhou Yu once again realized the power of this S-class creature. Mo Ye can break through these passages, let alone an S-class creature like him.

The boy walked through the first door, lifted his foot, and easily kicked open the second door, and it slammed straight down in front of the researcher's desk, causing her to close her eyes and scream in fright.

Zhou Yu walked in and saw that right next to her, a member of the escort team was holding a gun and pointing it at the researcher's head.

His face had begun to fester, and his nose was bleeding from time to time, and the moment Zhou Yu walked in, he immediately stood behind the researcher.

He didn't say a word, but when Zhou Yuye stepped forward with a gun, he slammed the muzzle of the gun against the back of the female researcher's head, meaning that if he got any closer, he would kill her.

The female researcher's shoulders shrugged in fear, tears streaming down her face, and she didn't dare open her eyes, afraid that her heartbeat would end there.

She closed her eyes and kept repeating, "I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to...... Help me...... Help me......"

The man behind her who was parasitized by the bone eater lowered his head from time to time, as if he was struggling to suppress it, not letting the bone eater in his body spit out.

Zhou Yu let go of his fingers slightly, moving his steps in parallel, looking for opportunities and angles to shoot.

"If I were you, I would kill this woman directly." The boy tugged at the corners of his lips, and his smile was teasing, he didn't take the female researcher's life seriously.

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, and he swept the young man with the afterglow of his gaze: "With your ability, even if you don't use bullets, you can kill the bone eaters." ”

"But I just like to see her frightened." The boy comfortably pointed his finger in the direction of the female researcher.

Zhou Yu's expression cooled, and he looked back at the female researcher with an indifferent gaze, her name still written on her badge: "If you don't tell the truth again, I'll shoot, Dr. Lin." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What ......," Dr. Lin looked stunned.

"Quite simply, the time that the bone eater parasitizes in each body is limited, and when one body is depleted of nutrients, it naturally has to choose another body to regain the nutrients. This host behind you is obviously about to be unable to meet the needs of the bone eater, but he endures it to the death and does not parasitize on you? The creatures here do have intelligence on a certain level, especially B-class creatures like the Bone Eaters. I can imagine that there are only two reasons why he endured not to attack you. One is that your body has been eroded by the Bone Eaters, and the other is that you have a special connection with these Bone Eaters, and you are more useful for being alive than being parasitized for them. ”

"They're just here to keep me alive and control the system here...... I'm just going to trap you here, so they can get more and more food...... If it's just me, they'll soon be not nutritious enough! Dr. Lin cried and explained.

Zhou Yu's expression did not waver in the slightest, and although Dr. Lin's expression was full of fear, there was a defensiveness in her eyes. This kind of defense is not against the bone eaters, but against Zhou Yu.

But even so, Zhou Yu wasn't sure if he should shoot a human who wasn't parasitized.

At this moment, the young man lazily approached step by step, completely ignoring the parasitized guards behind Dr. Lin.

His hands were propped up on the table, his body leaning forward slightly, while Dr. Lin subconsciously leaned back, the back of his head pressed against the gun.

"Actually, there are no bullets in the gun, right? You're also worried about what if the shot misses and really hits you? ”
