Chapter 66: Starstripe Subject
The group decided to go to the town after a short period of recuperation, the car drove very slowly, and occasionally a few monsters would block their way, but Uncle Mizuda drove all the way through.
However, the group found a strange phenomenon when they drove on, along the way they saw many monster corpses lying on the ground, all of which were hit in the head with blunt objects, and these corpses did not have time to decompose, as if it had only happened in the past few days.
"Has anyone been here? Is it a survivor? Dr. Katie whispered by the window.
"If it's a survivor, they're pretty powerful, I've seen it, it's almost fatal with one blow, and it's all on the head." W kept looking at the monster corpses lying on the ground outside the car window, and there was a hint of surprise in his expression.
These monster corpses, which lasted for a whole street, W counted about forty or fifty, W was very curious about what kind of person could do this, if she was asked to cut down these forty or fifty monsters, I am afraid that without the help of exoskeleton armor, she would need to turn on the starstripe state to do it.
A faint glimmer caught the attention of Uncle Mizuta, and he saw a faint yellow glow from a window on the second floor of a certain house on this street, which was faint, but it was indeed bright.
"Look over there." Uncle Mizuda stopped the car and pointed in the direction he saw.
"Maybe it's a survivor, Aunt Brin, Sister Katie, Helen, Ain, you stay in the car, Xiaotian, Uncle Mizuta, let's go and see." W said as he gently pushed the car door open.
After listening to W's words, Uncle Mizuda and Xiaotian got out of the car one after another, and W also got out of the car, and when he left, Brin also got out of the car and whispered, "I'll go too." ”
"I think it's better for you to stay and take care of Ain." W stopped and looked back at Brin.
"My marksmanship is very accurate, take me, it doesn't hurt." Brin said as he walked over to W.
After looking at it for a while, W didn't say anything more, but quietly followed the path on the side of the street and walked towards the house in the distance in the light.
W looked around, the monsters around it had been cleaned up, all of them had been killed by a blow to the head, and the corpses hadn't yet begun to decompose.
The group quickly walked to the front of the house, the door was open, it was pitch black inside, W wore exoskeleton armor and walked into the house first, the house was a mess, this used to be a restaurant, Xiaotian turned on the flashlight and shone around, there was nothing here except the mess.
"Anyone, excuse me." Uncle Mizuta said softly, pointing to the stairs and motioning for the group of three to go up.
There was no sound in the room, they had gone up the stairs to the second floor, and they also saw a faint light, shining outward from the innermost room on the second floor, the door was not closed, and the faint light shone through the crack in the door.
The group walked softly to the end of the hallway, and through the crack in the door, they saw a dim candle burning in the corner of the room, and a figure sat against the wall, the light was a little dim, and they couldn't see clearly.
The door slowly pushed open, and Uncle Mizuta said softly, "I'm sorry to disturb, are you a survivor?" ”
The group walked into the room, and the candlelight flickered, and the room was dark, and a figure dressed like straw sat against the wall wrapped in a curtain.
Immediately they saw that it was the face of a young girl, with long hair that was as disheveled as dead grass, and her forehead was covered with sweat and trembling violently.
The girl raised her head slightly, a bead of sweat dripping from her forehead onto the curtain she was wrapping, and her gaze looked at the group in front of her.
Suddenly, her pupils changed a little, and she stared at Brin tightly, no, she stared closely at the black uniform on Brin's body, which was the uniform of Starstripe Corporation, and then her eyes turned to W next to Brin, and she saw the exoskeleton armor that W was wearing.
"Are you here to get me? Do you want me to die like that? Even if I die, I'll pull a few pads. The first few words, the girl's voice was very small, very soft, and the group did not hear clearly, but the last few words were a little heavier, and they heard clearly.
The young girl was misunderstood, she saw the black uniform on Brin's body and the high-grade exoskeleton armor W's wear, and thought it was the cleaner sent by the Starstripe Base to hunt her down.
Then the young girl got up suddenly, she was holding a baseball bat in her hand, and the corner of the baseball bat was solidified with dried blood stains, and before the group could react, the young girl had already rushed towards her with a baseball bat.
Her first target was Bryn, because Brin was the only one wearing a black uniform, and she was full of hatred for that black uniform, and she wished that all the people in the black uniform were dead, and the corner of the baseball bat flew to Bryn's head at great speed.
Brin, Uncle Mizuta, and Xiaotian are all normal humans, so their reflex arcs are much slower, and at this moment, only W, who is the holder of the star stripe, reacted, and then slammed a punch into the young girl's body.
A powerful force pushed the young girl out and smashed against the wall, a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth, and the baseball bat in her hand flew to the side.
The young girl sat up lightly from the floor, leaning against the wall, the curtain that had wrapped around her upper body had fallen somewhere else, and she was bare, breathing hard and shaking violently.
"I won't let you go, you lackeys of the Starstripe Company, you can't die well!" The young girl roared weakly.
Of course, the group was blind, they didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the young girl in front of them took the initiative to attack them, and they didn't know what she was talking about, but Brin understood all this.
Brin then took out a bottle of TD from his pocket and threw it in front of the young girl, then took off his black uniform jacket and threw it in front of the young girl.
"Eat, this is TD, if you don't eat it, you'll die." Brin slowly crouched down in front of the young girl, looking at the young girl in front of him with a loving, pitying expression.
Brin was aware of her symptoms, which were a sign of the increasingly unstable physical values of the Starstriped Subject, and that the nanobots in her body had begun to spiral out of control at this point, and would soon die if she did not take TD immediately.
The young girl looked up at Bryn, and then stretched out her trembling hands to pick up the metal bottle from the ground, but the whole person trembled even more because of the blow from W, and she tried hard to pick up the metal bottle, but her trembling hands pushed the metal bottle out.
Brin gently picked up the metal bottle, took out two blue pills from it, and handed them to the young girl's mouth, and Brin looked at her kindly.
W saw Bryn's move, and even wanted to pull Brin back, she knew what that girl was, she was a starstriped test subject, if she was at such a close distance, she attacked Brin again, W couldn't stop her, but Xiao Tian on the side looked at W and shook his head, signaling her to look like this.
"I'm no longer from the Starstripe Company, so I'm not here to hunt you down, nor am I here to harm you." Brin crouched down in front of the young girl and said softly.
The young girl opened her mouth slightly, swallowed the two blue pills in Brin's hand, and soon her trembling subsided a lot, and then Brynn put the coat of the black uniform over the young girl's body, and arranged the clothes, and the young girl was no longer naked.
"Aunt Brynn, what's going on?" W, who was standing in the doorway, asked softly.
"It's a long story, but she's not an enemy," Brin replied softly.
