DAY 22 confronts the infected
Eat up the rest of the food in a few bites. My brother and I were already standing by the door, our backpacks ready to fight.
"Shattered, Lolo, I'll count 'three, two, one,' and we'll open the door and rush out." I placed my hand gently on the doorknob and gestured to the two people behind me. Seeing them nodding, I clenched the vial in my hand, closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths, then opened them suddenly.
"Three, two, one!!"
We rushed out with the bottles, but there was no one outside.
"Huh?" We look around, shouldn't we? Obviously, the vibration is quite loud.
Suddenly, Shatter poked me, and with a trembling hand, he held out a finger and pointed it at the head.
I looked at the ceiling suspiciously—the ceiling was full of a bloody mess of flesh and blood, as if all the nerves and blood vessels in my body had turned outward, and the mucous membranes vibrated with my breathing, sucking against the ceiling, slowly squirming. Seeing that we found him, he made a "coo-coo" sound, starting from the middle, slowly falling as if it was about to drip down, and finally fell to the floor with a "thud", flesh and blood churning.
It was the first time we had faced this creature, and I have to say that the shock was incomparable. My stomach began to churn, and the crumbs around me were already retching.
"Sister, tell him the lines!" While I was still stunned, my younger brother reacted first and poked me violently. I didn't stand still, and I fell to my knees - and then I realized that my legs were already weak from fright.
But I knew that if I didn't say anything, all three of us would die. I trembled and lifted the vial above my head—it had become slippery from the sweat on my palms—and shouted in a trembling voice, "Don't hurt us...... We've got the medicine to save you! After saying that, he wanted to twist the cap of the bottle and pour out the medicine to show him. As a result, because of the sweat in the palms of my hands, I couldn't unscrew it. For a moment, my face was flushed with anxiety.
The lump of "meat" reacted faster than me, a blood vessel stretched out from a corner, and the bottle of medicine was swept away from my hand with a "swoop", and the whole lump of "lump of meat" quickly wrapped the vial, and I only had time to hear the sound of the "clacking and clacking" of the vial breaking, and then the clump of meat began to roll wildly.
The three of us hurriedly ran around the corner, and after the lump of meat had tumbled for a while, it suddenly made a sound of "Evil Evil", and then a lot of yellowed juice spewed out from the center, and there was a foul smell in the air.
Then the "lump of meat" collapsed there. After a while, just as we wondered if he was dead, he began to shrink and shrink...... Then he reverted back to his normal human form.
It was a muscular man, and we looked at each other a few times, and with courage, we came out of the corner and slowly approached step by step.
Just as we were only a few steps away from the man, he suddenly jumped up, faced us, and looked at the three of us fixedly, startling us. Just as we were quickly deterring ourselves in our minds whether it was better to flee or stop here so as not to alarm him again and make him run away, he began to look down in a daze, as if in disbelief, and slowly stretched out his fist-clenched palm, and opened the ...... The fragments of the medicine bottle just fell from the palm of his hand with a clatter.
He moved his body again, lifted his legs, and then he finally raised his head again, his eyes overflowing with disbelief excitement. The first words he spoke, full of low magnetism: "You guys...... It really cured me. ”
We saw that he showed no signs of attacking, and he became bolder: "Actually, this is just a trial drug, and the effect of the medicine is time-limited." But if you eat so much, you shouldn't be able to get it back in a short time. We have more potent medicines that may cure you at the root. But ......"
We glanced at him and said cautiously, "But those pills are outside, and we can't get out now." ”
He looked at us deeply: "So I'm still going to change back?" And then you need me to go on a rampage again and help you out? ”
We nodded apprehensively, he pondered for a moment, looked at his now intact body, and finally made up his mind: "...... I'm willing to help you, as long as you promise to heal me when you go out. If you repent, you know the consequences. He gave us a cold look, and only after seeing the way we nodded desperately did he continue, "But I have to admit that those guys with guns are not easy for me to deal with. I also wanted to break out, but during the battle, I realized that their guns didn't do much to me in that form, but once they were shot in the heart, I would still die. So in order to make sure that I can get out alive too, I need a partner. ”
"You mean ......?" Our eyes widened.
"yes, I need to release one more infected." He blinked at us, slowly evoking a smile, mysterious, "Then you must promise, and you will heal him too." ”
At the entrance of the laboratory in the evening, the security was still tight.
"Hey, is your plan viable? For you, we spent a whole bottle of medicine. "It's distressing to think about. I knew that I poured half of it out in advance, and it was originally reserved for my parents to eat......
"How do you know if you don't try it? But I do appreciate your medicine. The man behind him hid in the grass with us, his eyes fixed on the two armed policemen, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Of course, we had already made him change into clothes that he had picked up from the boys' dormitory, after all, he really didn't look good naked.
"I don't feel your gratitude at all." I pouted, now that I'm basically familiar with him, I'm not afraid of him anymore. I couldn't help but continue to resent.
"Thanks, thanks, you!" He seemed to roll his eyes, brushed my hair in annoyance, and then abruptly pushed us down, "Someone's coming." ”
It was another armed policeman who came over and said a few words to them, and the three of them left together.
"Really...... They would really leave together for a few minutes when they changed shifts, hey...... "I watched all this blankly, so what is the bottle of medicine I let out during the day and the determination to fight out?"
"Hurry up, they'll be back soon." When they were far away, the man pushed us, and the force was so great that we staggered.
"Damn, you used to be a weightlifter, you have so much strength." I complained, but my feet were not slow, and I ran to the elevator quickly.
"No, it's too late to wait for the elevator to come down, take the stairs." The man glanced at the numbers on the elevator display, shook his head and said, pulling open the sliding door of the emergency passage next to him.
We all hurried up the stairs.
Soon I ran to the fifth floor, and I was panting with Crush. Wiping a handful of non-existent sweat, I panted and pushed open the door to the storage room of the lab box on the left.
It was still filled with the sound of "bang, bang, bang", but after the man entered, there was silence for a second or two.
"Huh? Don't stop? What should you do if people know we're coming, and come up to arrest us? "I hurriedly greeted everyone, for fear that the people below would find out that something was wrong.
The impact became more violent, and some people with less serious lesions yelled at us, "How did you turn him back?!! You've finally found the cure, haven't you?!! I'm going to change back too!! Give me my medicine!! I'm fed up with these ghost days!! ”
To be honest, even if I've faced this mutated monster before, I still don't feel comfortable seeing so many strangely shaped "pieces of meat" twisted in front of me.
"Don't worry, come one by one, we're here to find someone." The man waved his hand and walked over to one of the test boxes. Unlike the other test boxes, only the mutants in this test box did not hit the wall, scream and curse, but quietly shrank in the corner of the box, as if their souls had been withdrawn.
The man knocked lightly on the wall of the box and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, "Ono, I'm here to pick you up, come out." We're saved. ”
