47. Bone eaters
Mo Ye lay on the corner of the table, it lowered its head and sniffed the plate in front of Zhou Yu, then raised its paws, held the spoon, scooped a spoon and stretched it out in front of Zhou Yu.
"Does Mo Ye think there is no problem with this meal?" Wu Yun asked.
"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded, took the spoonful of rice down, and the other people at the table saw it and began to raise their chopsticks to eat.
"Damn, it tastes like it came out of a can and stirred it." Wu Yun shook his head, "Isn't there a chef in the observation station?" ”
Gradually, the sound of talking sounded around him, and it was no longer as deserted as before, but the inexplicable strange atmosphere of this base, Li Qian could also faintly feel it.
He kicked Wu Yun on tiptoe under the table.
"Can you tell me well, what the hell is wrong?"
Wu Yun sighed and whispered, "Don't you think Professor Lu's reaction is strange at all?" Professor Lu is a scholar, and any scholar here should be amazed and curious when they see Mo Ye, like Dr. Carlos. Even if he is afraid of being a Class A creature, Mo Ye can't help but look at it twice. But that's not the case with Professor Lu. It's like he's afraid that Mo Ye will see through him. ”
"I'm a botanist like Professor Lu. But when Professor Lu saw me, he didn't come up to greet me, nor did he have any intention of having an academic exchange with me, as if he didn't know me at all. This is also abnormal. Zhou Qing said.
"And even if he went out to take samples, he actually transferred more than 2/3 of the guards from the protection observation station, Professor Lu didn't even have the most basic common sense?" Zhou Yu's eyes looked at Li Qian coldly, "Li Qian, I need you to find a way to hack into the monitoring equipment here to see what happened during this time?" Without solving these mysteries, Wu Yun and I will not be able to keep you in this observation post. ”
Han Li also nodded: "I also think that it is abnormal for the entire observation station to have only three guards. ”
Li Qian became nervous, and when everyone said this, he felt that he was indeed suspicious.
"I see. If I wanted to hack into their surveillance, they would be suspicious, so I needed to go into a place where I could contact my computer. ”
"Then at least you need to be in the research room, so let's do it, after eating, I will tell Professor Lu that I have research that needs to be carried out, and let Li Qian accompany me to the research room." Zhou Qing said.
"I hope everyone can gather together, especially the guards, at least no matter what happens, Professor Lu's side has fewer people, and we have more people, and once they are dispersed, they will be easily broken by each other." Wu Yun said.
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.
"Han Li, you just stay here, you have the medical staff walkie-talkie, we will contact you through it."
"Okay." Han Li nodded.
After lunch, Zhou Qing asked Professor Lu to borrow the research room here.
"Li Qian and I designed a plant research sample system together, when I left the base, the system was only halfway designed, just now at dinner, Li Qian and I had a discussion, there are a lot of new ideas, I want to practice it immediately."
"Of course! Of course! There is still such a system? I think it's so interesting! I'll take you to the lab! ”
Professor Lu left the restaurant with Zhou Qing and Li Qian, and Wu Yun and Zhou Yu followed behind them. Mo Ye stayed in the dining room and watched the others.
When they came to Professor Lu's laboratory, he opened the first door with his fingerprints, turned to Wu Yun and Zhou Yu and said, "Do you want to enter the laboratory too?" This doesn't seem to be in line with Juli Group's regulations......"
Professor Lu is not wrong about this. Under normal circumstances, guards are not allowed to enter the research premises, which involves research secrecy.
"It's okay, we're just curious." Wu Yun shook his hand and blocked in front of Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu stuffed his spear to Zhou Qing.
Li Qian walked through the second door and looked back in the direction of Wu Yun, who spread his hands and said that he had no chance to stuff the matching gun into him.
When the two doors were all closed, and there were only Zhou Qing, Li Qian, and Professor Lu in this closed room, Li Qian became inexplicably nervous.
Li Qian nervously sat down and turned on the computer, typed the code as fast as he could, and nervously observed Professor Lu's movements while typing on the keyboard. At this moment, Zhou Qing deliberately stood in front of Professor Lu, leaning on the real table, as if discussing some research ideas with him very casually.
Professor Lu smiled, as if he was listening very carefully and interestedly, but Li Qian knew that he didn't listen, and Zhou Qing deliberately made himself look very excited, and what was even more ridiculous was that Zhou Qing memorized a foreign botanical paper intact, but Professor Lu didn't react at all?
Let Zhou Qing be more sure that Professor Lu has a problem.
At this time, Li Qian had already entered the surveillance system and began to access the surveillance video from a few days ago. He goes into fast-forward mode and just needs to look for the part in question.
The time was 3:45 p.m. yesterday, and the location was this research room, and what Li Qian saw made his pupils shrink for a while, and his fingers froze on the keyboard.
Professor Lu was looking very carefully in front of the microscope, and another researcher in a white coat came behind Professor Lu, he lowered his head, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he was bent on his back, the figure was full of sickness, Professor Lu didn't know.
The researcher patted Professor Lu on the back, and the moment Professor Lu turned around, a worm-like creature full of arthropods erupted from the researcher's mouth.
Professor Lu tried to avoid it in horror, but the arthropod worm had already scratched at his face, burrowing into his body with all its might!
Professor Lu struggled, but the researcher grabbed Professor Lu's shoulders with great force, and Professor Lu fell to the ground, his hands trying to pull the worm out, his face flushed, and he resisted desperately. The researcher, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his strength, and fell to the ground, his hands on the ground, staring at Professor Lu deadly.
It wasn't until the arthropod worm crawled completely into Professor Lu's mouth and wriggled in his throat that Professor Lu's body trembled violently, and his limbs twisted as if something was shuttling through his body, shattering the bones that supported him.
The researcher's skin was peeled away, flesh was torn apart, and the ground was stained red.
Li Qian resisted the urge to vomit, intercepted the video, and sent it to Zhou Yu's contact.
Ten minutes after the video, Professor Lu stood up and methodically cleaned up the corpse of the researcher there and all the blood stains on the ground. He had a slight smile on his face, which made people shudder.
At this moment, the liaison on Zhou Yu's wrist outside the research room rang, and he received a video screen, the screen was small, but the qiē that happened was very clear. His face changed.
"Oops! It's a bone eater! ”
"What bug?" Wu Yun knew that the situation was strict when he saw Zhou Yu's expression, and immediately asked all the guards to protect the scholars in the cafeteria, and absolutely not allow others in this observation station to approach.
If they wanted to enter the research room, they had to wait until Li Qian invaded the system and opened the second door.
Zhou Yu quickly assembled the gun he was carrying, raised the gun with Wu Yun, and pointed at the door of the real room.
Li Qian was nervously typing in the code to control the access control system, he raised his eyes and glanced at Professor Lu, and found that Professor Lu was bending down little by little, his face leaning closer and closer to Zhou Qing, the posture was like when he was attacked by his own researcher before.
But Zhou Qing didn't know that the danger was coming, Li Qian didn't have time to enter the rest of the code, and suddenly stood up and dragged Zhou Qing over.
At the same moment, a large worm with an amputated leg suddenly burst out of Professor Lu's mouth!
Zhou Qing's eyes widened, and he narrowly avoided it, falling on Li Qian's body.
Li Qian's internal organs were about to be squeezed out, and he shouted, "Shoot!" Zhou Qing shoots! ”
The worm that Professor Lu spat out pounced on and quickly retracted, and Professor Lu's smiling expression became hideous.
He walked towards Zhou Qing, lowered his head and opened his mouth to see that he was about to squirt out the worm again.
Zhou Qing took out the gun and found that the safety bolt was not opened! It's too late!
Li Qian pushed Zhou Qing who was pressing on him away, and saw that the worm was about to come to his eyes!
And Zhou Qing, who fell to the side, looked at the impending one with wide eyes, and a voice sounded in his head: "Don't refuse me." ”
At that moment, a force rushed out from the depths of his brain along his line of sight like an exploding torrent, the world stood still in his eyes, time slowed down, and the giant worm seemed to burst from within, splashing everywhere.
"Ahh
Zhou Qing sat aside, his gun still clasped in his hand.
The scattered flesh and blood seemed to have been carefully calculated, and it didn't touch Zhou Qing and Li Qian's bodies at all.
"Next time, remember to learn how to use a gun with your brother." The familiar elegant and modest voice sounded in Zhou Qing's mind.
Is he the S-class creature he met when he first entered the Nibelungen? Has he been following him all the time? Have you been observing yourself? Or did he not come to his side until he left the base this time, where the hell was he hiding?
Zhou Qing was still expecting that voice to sound again, but as if he had completely disappeared from his life, he became quiet, except for Li Qian's frightened screams.
Zhou Qing calmed down his heartbeat and came to Li Qian's side, and pressed Li Qian's shoulder hard: "Li Qian! Li Qian! Open your eyes! It's all right, let's hurry up and open these two doors! ”
Li Qian came to his senses at this time, he found that he had been screaming for so long, if he would really be attacked, it should be finished by now.
He looked at Professor Lu who fell to the ground, completely dumbfounded: "This ...... What the hell is going on? ”
"Probably the first time he tried to attack me, he didn't succeed, and the second time he destroyed himself before he had time!" Zhou Qing squeezed out such an explanation.
Of course, Li Qian didn't want to stay here for a second, and immediately entered the code from the computer to open the two doors.
The moment the door was opened, Wu Yun and Zhou Yu held their guns and rushed in, looking at Professor Lu on the ground, Wu Yun said, "He...... Just dead? ”
Zhou Yu's expression turned cold: "Let's leave immediately, don't forget it, there are 3 guards and two researchers behind Professor Lu, there is a great possibility that they have a problem!" ”
There is such an obvious problem with this observation station, even Wu Yun and Zhou Yu, who have just arrived, can feel it, not to mention the original staff here, so most of the people who stay in the base have problems. They had to rush back and tell the others to get out of here.
"Let's go!"
Wu Yun did not put down the gun in his hand, but raised his gun in front of Zhou Qing and Li Qian, Zhou Yu followed behind them, and the group of four walked out of the research room.
But they had barely gone far when they saw three guards walking towards them. Both ends of the passage were closed, and they couldn't leave until Li Qian returned to the research room and turned them on with the computer.
"Hello? What's going on? Where is Professor Lu? The captain of the guard asked.
"In the research room." Wu Yun replied with a cold face, but he didn't put down the gun in his hand.
Although the guards all looked completely unaware of what was going on, the more they did this, the stranger their attitude became. After all, Wu Yun and Zhou Yu both held guns, indicating that their situation was very dangerous, but they did not draw their guns in such a situation, as if to relieve this tense atmosphere. This is completely inconsistent with the normal reaction of the guards.
"I'm going to see him. What did you do to him? Seeing that Wu Yun and Zhou Yu did not let down their vigilance at all, the squad leader finally pulled out his gun and walked slowly towards the research room.
Although Wu Yun and they have 4 people, Zhou Qing and Li Qian have no combat effectiveness, and the escort team has 3 people, which is equivalent to three enemies and two, and there are also two oil bottles, Wu Yun and Zhou Yu are at a disadvantage.
"Don't move." Wu Yun pointed his gun at the captain of the guard.
Wu Yun, who is an old fritter, knows very well that if the captain of the guard enters the research room, and the other team members are at both ends of himself and Zhou Yu, so that the sub-guard team can attack them from three directions, only Wu Yun and Zhou Yu are unable to resist, and the escort must be left at the left and right ends of the passage, which is the most beneficial situation for Zhou Yu and Wu Yun.
"What do you want to do? Did you kill Professor Lu? The captain of the guard also loaded his gun.
The three guns were pointed at them, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating, Li Qian swallowed hard, and cold sweat flowed down Zhou Qing's back.
The air was cold and dry to the point where it seemed to crack. But Wu Yun and Zhou Yu seemed very calm.
Wu Yun was facing only the captain, while Zhou Yu was facing two guards, and he secretly simulated in his mind how to hit these two people in the shortest possible time.
And the captain of the guard slowly moved in the direction of Wu Yun step by step.
Wu Yun quickly fired a shot, and the bullet grazed the guard captain's cheek and hit the door of the node, the gunfire echoed, and Li Qian's shoulders shrugged.
Wu Yun wasn't sure that there was something wrong with these guards, so he didn't dare to kill them rashly.
"I'll really shoot you if you come forward again, I think I'll shoot much faster than you." Wu Yun said coldly.
The captain of the guard froze in that position and did not step forward.
"Even if you want to shoot me, please explain what you are for, and what did you do to Professor Lu?" The captain of the escort also had his finger on the trigger, and the outcome of this confrontation was likely to be a lose-lose situation.
"Didn't you really notice Professor Lu's anomaly? He has bone eaters in his body. Zhou Yu replied.
"What? What's that? The captain of the guard looked completely stunned.
"Do you still have to pretend? Have the rest of your people at the Observatory become food for the Bone Eaters? ”
"I didn't! I really don't know, Professor Lu told us that they all went outside the observation station to take samples. He is the head of the observatory, how could he lie to us! The captain of the guard slowly lowered his gun and tilted his head to look at the other two team members, telling them to put their guns down as well.
He raised his hands and took two steps in the direction of Wu Yun, whose muzzle was always aimed at him.
But the look in the captain's eyes showed that he really didn't know about this qiē.
At the moment when Wu Yun also doubted in his heart, the captain of the guard bent down and seemed uncomfortable to cover his chest.
Wu Yun tilted his head to see what was wrong with him, but Li Qian behind him shouted: "Be careful-"
At that moment, Wu Yun could barely react. A huge bone-eater squirted out of the captain's mouth, the sticky sound was disgusting, and Wu Yun's wide-eyed eyes clearly reflected the bone-eater's mouth, and even the Adam's apple in its mouth. He had a sense of danger that he was going to be swallowed up.
But the body moved before the brain, and he pulled the trigger, and the bullet went through the throat of the bone eater and into its body.
The ejected bone eater fell abruptly less than a centimeter from the tip of Wu Yun's nose.
Wu Yun's heart was about to jump out of his chest.
But the problem facing Zhou Yu was even more severe, and the two guards bent down at the same time and violently spat out the bone eater.
Zhou Qing behind Zhou Yu was extremely hopeful that the S-class creatures who had helped him before could exert their magical power again, but his mind was pale and there was nothing, he just wanted to crash into Zhou Yu and block in front of him.
Zhou Yu shot decisively, and the bullet hit one of them, but there was obviously not enough time.
At that moment, Zhou Yu was already ready to be hit by another Bone Eater Worm, and even thought that it would be a big deal for the Bone Eater Worm to enter his body, so he would solve himself with one shot.
But he didn't expect that his body seemed to be not his own, as if he was controlled by another force, his ability to move was several times that of before, and the reaction speed of the moving gun was completely beyond the expectations of his brain, and he pulled the trigger and the bullet just hit the bone eater that came to him.
Zhou Yu's body leaned back, and the bone eater almost touched his skin a little, but it suddenly cracked.
Zhou Yu kept raising his gun, completely unaware of this qiē.
And Zhou Qing was already stunned, because at that moment, Zhou Yu's speed definitely did not belong to human beings.
Wu Yun and Li Qian turned around together, looking at the two guards who had fallen to the ground and the cracked bone eaters, they were all dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, Zhou Yu, how did you do it?"
Wu Yun's admiration for Zhou Yu has reached a certain level.
"Brother......
Zhou Qing's light call brought Zhou Yu back to his senses. He knew very well that the person who pulled the trigger just now was not himself.
He swallowed, and a familiar voice sounded in his head.
"How can you want to kill yourself? No matter what happens, no matter what the circumstances, the last thing you should do is hurt yourself. ”
It was the boy's voice.
Does that mean that the S-class creature is around here?
Unlike his previous playful and lazy voice, this time his voice was full of oppression, with a kind of angry feeling.
Zhou Yu's fingertips trembled inexplicably, and he could clearly feel the anger of that S-class creature, as well as the indescribable ...... Fear.
It's as if the brain between him and him is connected together, the other party can know what Zhou Yu is thinking, and Zhou Yu can also feel the other party's feelings at that moment, the heart and the cells of the whole body are tense, breaking through the critical point at any time, and making himself completely crazy The sense of annihilation almost crushed Zhou Yu.
"Hello? Zhou Yu, what's wrong with you? Scaregpy? Wu Yun noticed the sweat flowing from the corners of Zhou Yu's forehead, although his expression was still calm, Wu Yun could feel Zhou Yu's strangeness.
Zhou Yu exhaled vigorously and put the gun down.
"I'm fine, let's hurry back to the restaurant! The others are still there! ”
Li Qian immediately returned to the research room, and used his computer to control all the nodes of the passage here and open the passage door.
At this moment, Han Li was sitting with the other researchers, and she didn't have the slightest appetite for food. At this time, all the walkie-talkies received a message: "No one in the observation post must be allowed to approach!" Shoot those who don't heed the warnings immediately! ”
Han Li immediately said into the walkie-talkie: "Zhou Yu! What the hell is going on! ”
"This observatory is infested with bone eaters!" Zhou Yu replied coldly.
