Chapter 25: Checking for Xenomorphs
"Second-order attackers." The fat man quickly made a judgment.
"Oh? It's kind of interesting that you can actually see my strength. Director Liu's face was slightly condensed.
"It's not that Lao Tzu's second-order xenomorph hasn't been killed." Bone armor emerged from the fat man's skin almost at the same time, covering the surface of the skin.
"Shield Armor...... Why is it hidden among humans?! Director Liu's expression showed a hint of doubt, but in an instant, he raised his wrist slightly, and shot away from the bone blade that rose between his fingers, and then a new bone blade rose from inside.
The three bone blades were almost unmissing, and they were all nailed to the armor shield on the surface of both arms, and were quickly slapped away by the fat man. The fat man's eyes were ruthless, although the strength of this attack was amazing, but his training for more than a month was not in vain. He rushed forward with a serpentine step, grabbing Director Liu's hands in the struggle. With the T-shaped horn on his head against the doctor's stomach, the fat man pushed the doctor backwards and knocked him against the wall.
Director Liu's eyes burst with fierce light, and his unkind eyes slowly moved down, and the clothes behind him bulged, and suddenly two black shadows stabbed out, and two arms stretched out from behind. Spit out a bone blade from each palm, hold the palm upside down, and stab the fat man on the back.
The bone blade pierced the thick armor on the fat man's back, rubbing out a piece of spark, the bone blade was broken, and Director Liu couldn't help scolding: "Ma De, it's really hard enough." ”
"What's going on?" A woman's voice rang out outside the door. The fat man looked back and was a nurse. She was so surprised to see the situation in the ward that she couldn't close her mouth, and then Director Liu immediately raised his hand and threw out the bone blade.
The fat man didn't have time to think about it, so he let go of the doctor and retreated to the door, blocking in front of the nurse.
Director Liu snorted angrily, didn't stop for the slightest, and flew out of the window in one go, and the fat man ran to the window and looked over. I saw Director Liu crawling up to the next floor like a gecko, and had already entered a ward window.
When the xenomorphs appeared in the hospital, Lin Ci and Han Mengdie were coming out of a store. That's when the phone rang. The screen showed a fat man, but after answering, there was a girl's eager voice on the phone.
Lin Ci's expression suddenly froze, "Pang Min? ”
"Brother Lin....... Help me! ”
"Oh no, something happened!" Lin Ci took Han Mengdie's hand and hurriedly drove towards the hospital. But even then, it would take at least fifteen minutes to get to the hospital.
"I don't know if it's too late." Lin Ci was anxious, but helpless.
Han Mengdie saw his worries, eased his emotions, and said with relief: "There are already police officers at the hospital, but I don't know if there are any other xenos hiding in addition to that xenomorph." ”
Lin Ci was silent, stepped on the accelerator again, and the car ran all the way at a gallop.
The main building of the hospital was completely blocked, and after showing their documents, Lin Ci and the two quickly met a middle-aged police officer who commanded the scene and said: "I am Li Minghan of the Third Squadron of the Hanjiang Branch, and the personnel below the eighth floor of the main building have basically been evacuated. The armed squadron is currently locking down the eighth floor, and the remaining monsters ......" he looked at the two.
He gestured, and a man who looked like an assistant came up with two suitcases, opened them, and inside were small submachine guns in body armor, daggers, and several magazines.
Han Mengdie didn't move, Lin Ci was not polite, and directly put on the body armor and loaded the magazine into the submachine gun. It's just that such a weapon can't pose much of a threat to the armed species, and if it's his usual large-caliber special pistol and explosive bullets against mutants, it's pretty much the same.
Getting out of the command car, the two came to the gate of the main building. Han Mengdie gestured and said, "I broke in from the rooftop, and you searched from the eighth floor and attacked up and down." ”
"Okay."
Han Mengdie squatted slightly, and flew to the air conditioner in the window on the second floor. Then the figure ejected between these air-conditioned outdoor units, heading towards the roof. Lin Ci tightened the submachine gun in his hand, entered the building, and took the elevator to the eighth floor.
When I came out of the elevator, I saw a group of armed police officers strictly guarding the exits.
Lin Ci asked through the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, "Did you find a suspicious character?" ”
The police officers outside are looking for the fat man and the mutant through the internal monitoring of the hospital, so as to provide the necessary information support for Lin Ci and the two.
The main building has nine floors.
This is no longer a ward area, the ninth to twelfth floors are the operating area, and with the supporting facilities of Ruitai Hospital, 20 to 25 surgeries can be performed every day. But even if this is the case, there will not be many people in the operating area, so when Lin Ci pushed open the door of the stairwell and entered the corridor, he felt that the ninth floor was empty, and it was very quiet.
He didn't dare to be careless, so he lowered his gun and hurried away.
After walking a few steps, a sound of footsteps sounded in the stairwell, and Lin Ci immediately rushed back with a gun. Pushing the door of the stairwell again, I saw someone coming down from the tenth floor. There were five or six people, one of whom was supposed to be a patient, with infusions still on their hands. A nurse next to him carried an IV bag for him, along with several men and women. They were also startled when they saw Lin Ci, and they exclaimed even more when they saw the gun in Lin Ci's hand.
"Calm down, what's going on?" Lin Xi asked softly.
One of the nurses replied, "This patient was operating on a patient who crashed into the operating room, and the surgeon was killed and the patient was seriously injured. ”
Lin Ci's gaze fell on a person behind him who was looking down the stairs: "Fatty! ”
That person was Pang Hao, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't react until Lin Ci shouted twice. A strange expression flashed across his face, "You're here." ”
"Nonsense, what about the xenomorphs?"
"I don't know, it's probably still here."
"Alright, you can take them and leave first."
Just as he was about to take them down first, someone on the stairs shouted up: "Be careful! ”
At the corner of the stairs on the upper floor, a figure came out again, and Lin Ci was stunned.
Pang Hao! He was surrounded by bone armor, pointing at the crowd and shouting: "Lin Ci, he is a fake!" ”
"Get in the way!" The fat man smiled coldly, waved his hands, and several black shadows flashed through the crowd, and then blood splattered, and everyone next to him was cut to varying degrees, and everyone screamed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he pretended to be a fat man, suddenly jumped over Lin Ci and ran to the staircase.
Lin Ci was about to raise his gun to shoot, but was blocked by a few panicked nurses, and when he chased after him, the xenomorph was gone.
After calling the police to evacuate the personnel, Lin Ci walked to the fat man's side: "Are you okay?" ”
The fat man shook his head, "I'm fine, where's Xiaomin?" ”
"It's not clear, she should be in a safe place. What's going on with that xenomorph, how can I dress up like you. ”
"I don't know, it's just that why is he looking for my sister?" A trace of doubt flashed in Pang Hao's eyes.
"Lin Ci, how are you over there?" At this time, Han Mengdie's voice sounded in the walkie-talkie.
After Lin Ci simply depicted the monster disguised as a fat man, Han Mengdie was silent for a moment, and then said, "Maybe I know who it is." The xenomorph, codenamed 'The Doctor', is adept at disguise and is able to absorb the host's powers and memories. ”
"The 'Taiyi' organization encountered this xenomorph a month ago, and three people died, which is very dangerous."
"So what now?" Lin Ci ran out of ideas for a while.
"I'll go over and meet you first."
"Well, you have to be careful that he disguises himself as someone else."
Lin Ci glanced at the fat man, his eyes were full of worry, if it weren't for the fact that the fat man was still in a state of alienation, otherwise it would be really difficult to distinguish Director Liu from the fat man.
In an operating room on the eleventh floor, Director Liu spit out the filling in his mouth, and reached out to pull out some bone nails as thin as wire on his face. By the time the things were removed, his face had changed.
"Lin Xi? Is he the special xenomorph that Mr. Aze said? ”
"Luck came, he delivered it to the door himself, but it was really cheap for me." Director Liu took out a box from his pocket and opened it, revealing two syringes inside. He checked it and took it back: "No matter what kind of monster you are, only if you are a xenomorph, you are not immune to this anesthetic, but I have to find a chance to get close to him." ”
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and the doctor looked out through the crack in the door to see more than a dozen patients and nurses evacuated in a panic, and he suddenly smiled with a cold gaze.
At the staircase on the ninth floor of the main building, Lin Ci and the fat man were sitting on the steps. Hearing footsteps from above, the two were on alert. A moment later, Han Mengdie appeared around the corner, and Lin Ci raised his gun and said, "Identity." ”
Han Mengdie understood, raised his hand, and formed a mouthpiece, from which a black wave turned out, and the black wave twisted in mid-air, quickly forming the outline of a sword. When Han Mengdie's five fingers were grasped, the form of the blade was stabilized.
After Lin Ci and the fat man also showed their respective alienation postures, the three of them determined each other's identities as places.
"I've thought about it on the way here." Han Mengdie said directly: "There are still some personnel in the hospital now, and it will be difficult to identify Director Liu if he is mixed in with them." No one else must be allowed to leave. ”
"But even so, it's hard to find him, after all, that guy can disguise such skills." Lin Ci's face was embarrassed.
"That's true, so some more means are needed."
Ten minutes later, an announcement sounded in the hospital: "Please gather in the conference room on the 10th floor so that we can check everyone's identity and arrange the evacuation activities." ”
The broadcast was repeated three times.
The police officers had already moved from the command car in front of the main building to the security room on the tenth floor, and Lin Ci and Han Mengdie were also at the scene.
"The personnel have been transferred to the conference room according to your request. I just brought a special desiccant this time. We'll be using it in the conference room as Miss Mengdie asks us to do right away, but does it really work? In case the monster isn't in the crowd......."
Han Mengdie immediately said: "The xenomorph is hidden in the crowd, if we spray desiccant, we will force him to show his original form; If he acts independently. Under the monitor, he will also have nothing to hide. ”
"Okay, let's go get ready." A police officer who led the team said.
