Chapter 65: The Daily Life of Some People Accompanying the Abyss
According to the normal and classic development, the next plot should look like this: the man who seems to have been poisoned and fell to the ground suddenly turned into a monster and jumped up and bit people everywhere, thus spreading the abyss energy all over the street, and then a large number of innocent citizens were infected, and the whole city fell into chaos in a very short period of time; γ
As for Lin Weiyin's rearmament after escaping back to the port, rushing into the dangerous urban area and trampling the infected and mutated monsters on the ground and rubbing them or something, Nangong Rong said that he would just take a look for himself.
But none of this really happened, and the boy didn't even guess the beginning. That's right, the man was indeed infected, and the people around him only thought that this was the passive curse of a certain four-eyed death elementary school student with similar food poisoning symptoms, but when Nangong Rong was hesitating at the table, whether to pull Lin Weiyin away immediately or warn others to stay away from that guy and then find a way to kill him, several companions who were checking the man suddenly got up quickly without hesitation, took the bench, knives, forks and other objects, and hurled them at his head.
In just a blink of an eye, the opponent was beaten to the ground, and there was an additional mosaic on the ground.
The melon-eating crowd nearby who didn't know the truth was immediately stunned, saying that it was okay to poison and murder, is it food poisoning, how could they blatantly kill people in broad daylight? After a while, everyone finally came back to their senses at the scream of a woman who was so high-pitched that it seemed that even the glass would be shattered, but before causing even more chaos, the man who made the first move took the initiative to raise his arm.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a murder. The reason why he was in so much pain just now wasn't because of poisoning or anything, but because he was infected by the abyss and was mutating. Although he was helpless, he really couldn't save it, and we had to kill him decisively. If you don't believe me, wait for the police and doctors to come and let them check it out. β
The chaos and panic were suppressed, and of course there were still some timid people who chose to leave for fear of the impact of the abyss, and the rest were the fat and timid ones.
Later, Nangong Rong learned that there were more than a dozen people in the civilian crew who left the port on this day, but all of them were discovered by relatives and friends next to them in time, and then they were killed decisively without hesitation, and did not cause a catastrophe.
said that the good Resident Evil was gone, and Nangong Rong, who was watching from the scene, didn't know what to say about it. The boy's biggest concern was resolved before he could take action, which shows that the locals are already very familiar with the infection and mutation of the abyss and are always vigilant enough, and it also proves from the side how much harm the abyss has caused to the world, otherwise who would have done it just now for ordinary people who have never been in contact with the abyss?
After the matter was brought under control, Nangong Rong took the initiative to look at Lin Weiyin, who was beside him with a complicated expression, and asked, "Shall we go?"
Although it was a waste to give up only halfway through the meal, it was not pleasant to eat in front of a mosaic corpse, so the boy offered to leave. After all, Lin Weiyin had only lost her teammates for a few days, and they hadn't even been able to leave the corpses, and Nangong Rong was worried that the girl would be hurt because of this.
However, he still underestimated the other party's big heart, only to see Lin Weiyin, who noticed the young man's gaze, first shrank her head weakly, as if to avoid his gaze, and then said in a low but firm tone: "No, we should stay." Why the Abyss's corrosive effect worked again is best to be fully understood, since all crew members had been drugged before they were on board, and it was unlikely that they would be infected. But now that it's happened, I hope to be able to figure out why it happened in the first place. β
Hey, hey, hey, you're putting on a soft and cute shy look while saying lines that are firm enough to make people embarrassed, what are you doing, the overall style of painting is wrong, do you know! The young man with black lines couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and shook his head, but he also understood that he couldn't persuade the stubborn girl, so he had to go with her.
"Alright then, let's stay. But Lin Weiyin, are you sure that the police and doctors who will come over later will carry special tools and instruments to detect the abyss? That thing doesn't seem to have much to do with their duties. β
"How can it not matter, when the erosion of the abyss was flooding inland in the past, I don't know how many guys who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters after committing the murder under the pretext of saying that the victim was infected by the abyss in a vain attempt to evade legal responsibility, so special detectors were quickly popularized in various public sectors. β
What else can the boy say about this, people have completely regarded the company of the abyss as an ordinary daily life, and his worries are as naΓ―ve as the questions of a three-year-old child who doesn't understand anything. So Nangong Rong finally chose to be silent, and quietly accompanied the girl who was also very calm to finish the rest of the lunch with his indifferent personality.
Not long after the two finished eating, the restaurant was crowded with criminal police and doctors, and after listening to the reports of everyone at the scene, they immediately brought in a square metal instrument about the size of a microwave oven, and then carried out the examination of the deceased.
When the police officer in charge of the team leader came to inquire, Lin Weiyin pulled Nangong Rong to show his ID to the other party, and then took the initiative to find the other party and asked, "How is it, can you be sure that it is the erosion effect of the abyss?"
"It was indeed the corrosive effect of the abyss, and the mutation had already begun before the victim's death, which was exactly what several of his companions had described. The officer pinched the brim of his hat and pulled it down, and replied very seriously, "But this is not the most important thing, the problem is the victim himself." Miss Lin, you fought the abyss on the ocean not long ago, so it's not surprising that you will contaminate each other, but even if you get too much contamination, the effects of the injected people will only slowly develop when they are eroded. However, judging from the current test results, it seems that the victim suddenly mutated in a very short period of time, how is this possible?"
The girl thought of something very terrible, and her little face suddenly turned white: "Could it be that the drug has failed? If the abyss finds a way to crack the effect of the drug when it is lurking in the victim's body these days, it is not surprising that such a situation will occur." β
"No, no, no, of course we've checked this, and the drug is still working even now. The police officer hurriedly waved his hand vigorously and denied it, after all, this is a topic that can easily cause trouble, "The real reason for the victim's mutation is definitely not that the drug cannot suppress the erosion of the abyss, but what it is is still unclear." β
A doctor who had been squatting next to the corpse for a long time happened to look up and say to the officer: "I need to take him back for an autopsy for further examination, but I am sure that the cause is definitely not the anti-erosion drug." β
The doctor was right, the reason why the companions of the mosaic on the ground changed from trying to rescue decisively to killing the killer was because of the mutation on the skin of his body - of course, this symptom can be faked, but here it is indeed true - and then, although the unlucky man who received the bento will not trick the corpse into a monster, the mutation on the surface of the body will not be fake. And now, these variants are slowly disappearing at a less noticeable rate, which is the best proof that drugs are still working.
Since it's not a drug cause, there's nothing to be nervous about. Lin Weiyin's biggest worry is that the abyss cracks the effect of the drug, and then reminds humans of the fear of being dominated by the erosion effect, after all, these guys are more troublesome than viruses that are good at evolutionary mutation, and basically all scientists think that the effect of the abyss cracked drug is only a matter of time.
But at least not now, the fleet is about to launch a counter-suppression against the defeated main force of the abyss, and if it can be handled properly, it is not impossible to completely defeat the other party, girl, no, it should be that everyone does not want to have an accident at this juncture.
The body was carried away, followed by several of the victim's companions, who were required to make a more formal statement. Lin Weiyin wanted to know the final test results, which was very important for girls who often dealt with the abyss on the front line, but in the end she was persuaded by Nangong Rong to go back.
After all, the girl's identity is quite special, and this situation will definitely be reported to the military, and sooner or later she will get the news, so there is no need to rush it.
The two of them ended their shopping trip so hastily.
ββββββββββββββββββ I'm the dividing line back to the dormββββββββββββββββββ
Lin Weiyin used a lot of snacks to pay tribute to her teammates, and also refused Nangong Rong's accompaniment, probably hoping that she would be alone for a while. There were only two of them in the huge dormitory building at the moment, and it was a little frightening, and the teenager didn't know how to comfort the girl, and finally chose to respect her desire to be alone.
Nangong Rong, who got free, took advantage of this opportunity to study the system, of course, the research here is not to bribe the undisciplined system with strange things such as lollipops or girl fat, so that she can use her soft and sweet voice to say some shameful and blood-pumping [beep-] lines, so as to satisfy a hobby in her heart that is so loving that she can't see people, but is seriously thinking about how to distribute and spend the remaining experience points.
There is also a part of the experience points gained by the teenager using skills in battle, and there are still a little more than 800 left after adding and subtracting the conversion, and the fraction of the single digit can be completely ignored.
Nangong Rong first spent a hundred experience to exchange for purification, because what happened today gave him a little sense of crisis, in case the local people's technology was cracked by the abyss, this skill might become the last straw. It's just that after the exchange, the boy is even more painful, and it takes two hundred experience to raise the purification to level 2, which is simply doubled, and the system is really not opening a black store?
Of course, the boy didn't say anything, otherwise the system with a black belly and shaking S might come up with a "discount", and it was definitely a discount of ten percent.
It is naturally not a good thing to be forcibly increased by the seller when he was going to exchange it, Nangong Rong didn't complain about anything indifferently, and instead spent one hundred and fifty experience points to upgrade to level 5 permissions, planning to see what kind of skills would be unlocked.
"Oh, it's good to be upgraded to level 5 clearance. β
The imaginary skill introduction did not appear, and the watch screen was replaced by a beautiful sapphire blue eye, Rice ears of brilliant long golden hair and silky white skin, so beautiful that it almost makes people suspect that it is a half-grown girl like the heroine of a well-made galgame, who is raising her index finger and gently swaying from side to side while naughtily winking at the boy with her right eye, innocent and charming, and these two temperaments are not in conflict with each other at all, but are well integrated, so that Nangong Rong can't help but be stunned on the spot.
"How about it, the goal of taking it home without 498 has finally been achieved, what do you think about it at the moment? Ahhhhh
The system screamed and shrunk into a ball and turned sideways to protect his chest with his arms, this action couldn't help but make Nangong Rong suddenly burst out of his head with a large number of black lines and cold sweat, and was about to grit his teeth and rub his knuckles against the watch screen a few times as before, but he was stunned to find that the cute girl on the screen trembled and shiny tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, with a look of "I'm scared", and then ......
There is no then.
Nangong Rong, who took a deep breath and spit it out heavily, tried to calm down his bad mood, put back the hand that had been raised halfway, and then asked with a painful expression: "Okay, you won." Besides, I'm not going to lick the screen, so there's no need to worry about it!
"Actually, there are many prototypes of this system, and you can switch between various personalities, but I just chose the one that I love the most. β
The system wanted to say something, but the teenager immediately rushed to interrupt her: "Okay, let's replace this personality now, and replace it with a more ordinary and normal personality." Your daily power is too great, I feel very unbearable, how about we live an ordinary life?"
"Rejected. The beautiful woman on the screen casually pushed her hair behind her back, and then lightly rejected Nangong Rong's proposal in an unquestionable tone, "After all, the combination of this character and Sao Nian looks more interesting." β
