"May we rest in death - Chen Xiaokun"

"July 3, 2019, weather, fine.

I've never been in the habit of keeping a diary, but I still opened the notebook and wrote down my experiences, maybe this will ease my depressed feelings.

Three months have passed since the day the disaster struck, and I still remember the people around me gradually melting, gradually covering the ground like a puddle of soft mud.

I was told on TV that it was a viral infection, but when I dissected my girlfriend's deformed body, I didn't find any viruses, but found a bunch of strange substances that didn't belong to living things...... Plant-like roots.

Since then, the situation has continued to deteriorate. About a week after the outbreak of the virus, I was evacuated to a bomb shelter with the rest of the group. -

It was a terrible and oppressive environment, and I listened to the sobbing people who always felt that the disaster would not stop there. What happened later proved my guess right, and the mutation broke out in the crowd again.

Again, as in the beginning, people began to mutate without warning. Right before my eyes, I saw countless white tissues that resembled human hands burst out of their bodies and swung through the air.

The screams and screams hit my brain with that scene. If it hadn't been for someone pulling me away, maybe I would have been one of them.

Yesterday during the retreat, someone asked me, is it really a virus infection that can be caused?

I felt powerless to answer. ”

"July 2019 ......"

"July 15, 2019, weather, fine.

I just learned the unfortunate news from earlier, after the city of X, the protective belts of cities A and B have also been broken, and they have become a paradise for creatures mutated from humans. The mood in the team was quite low.

In the end, after the discussion of the team leader, they decided to go through a cave not far away to reach E-City, because there were already a large number of mutated creatures in other areas, which were very likely to cause death. ”

"July 17, 2019, weather, cloudy.

Two people died, and one of them was someone I knew. He was still asking me questions the day before yesterday and died today. According to those who traveled with him, the man I knew got into the car to look for supplies, and suddenly let out a scream, and just like the initial human mutation scene, he turned into a gel-like substance and pierced the bottom of the car and immersed himself in the road. As he spoke, the expounder pointed in that direction, and then, like mud, half of his body suddenly exploded.

His blood splattered me all over my body.

That's when I realized that I was only half a meter away from death. ”

"July 18, 2019, weather, cloudy.

After yesterday's incident, the atmosphere in the whole team was very uneasy, but the only thing that was fortunate was that there were no more anomalies on the road. But I will never forget the scene yesterday when the man exploded before my eyes, and his blank expression remained on his face to death. ”

"July 20, 2019, weather, cloudy.

Originally, the cave was a natural conservation landscape and was supposed to be surrounded by guards, but it was completely ineffective due to some spreading plants. We have entered the cave without any problems. But a person who is a psychiatrist by profession told me that treatment might be needed.

Her eyes were full of concern, but her face was unfamiliar. I thought about it for a while before I remembered who she was, a woman who had been grouped many times.

I guess I'm a little sick. ”

"July 21, 2019, weather, unknown.

I feel like my memory is getting worse and worse, and I feel like I can't remember other people's names since the other day. ”

"July 23, 2019, weather, unknown.

This time the situation was somewhat unexpected and the terrain became quite strange...... What should have been an artificial tunnel has become a small cave, and what was originally a cave has become a larger cave, which terrifies everyone. ”

"July 25, 2019, weather, unknown.

The group diverged, and some broke away from the group and headed for the original entrance. I watched their figures drown in darkness, and for some reason I felt even more uneasy. At the same time, I feel like I'm getting worse and worse......"

July 2019...... Contingent...... Mutation...... Team leader ......" [Some of the handwriting is blurred]

"July 30, 2019, weather, unknown.

I think I probably know what is causing all this disaster...... When I dissected the corpse of the giant moth, which had been turned by a psychiatrist, and pulled out the blue polyhedron that resembled crystals from her corpse, I realized what was the culprit of everything......

Just touching the thing, my arm was mutated, and I could even see my flesh disintegrate and reassemble before turning into slender strips that stretched outward, as if trying to break free from my body and flee.

I remembered my recent abnormality, the occasional pain in my chest, and I couldn't help but tear open my clothes and see the blue crystals protruding from the opening of my heart and the eyes that covered my chest.

I...... Presumably already mutating. ”

"July 19, 2019, weather, unknown.

I used to think about a lot of ways to die, I used to think that my body swelled like my girlfriend, and my internal organs broke and died. I also thought about dying in a daze like a teenager who didn't even know his name when half of his body was blown off. But I thought about it and thought it would be best to control your own death...... At least not to live like those mutants who twisted and suffered......"

"May there be no heaven or hell on earth, let me rest in eternal peace."

————————————————————————

The fingers turning the page paused on the last page, and Lin Ling quietly stared at the bloodstained font, silently closing it into the shadow.

"So...... How many years is it now? Xia Xiaoyu looked at Lin Ling, looking at her with wide eyes, but her hippie smile showed a look of almost collapse, and she even wanted to get a negative answer urgently.

Lin Ling didn't deny or affirm, just turned her head slightly and didn't want to look at the faint expression of the high school student.

She didn't know how to answer.

Regarding Xia Xiaoyu's "human identity", Lin Ling has guessed that it is very likely that she is the original human before the disaster, regardless of whether she is a monster or not, but the personality she is showing now is undoubtedly that of a female high school student who has not even stepped into society.

It would probably not be much better to face the onslaught of this fact right now......

But Lin Ling's mood is just as complicated.

Her initial idea was just a simple guess, and even though she knew that it was very possible, she still felt depressed after getting the result through the description in her diary.

If the diary was correct, the situation in this world would be more serious than she imagined.

Basically, from the intermittent diary, you can tell how desperate the situation was at that time, facing the abnormal transformation of the body without knowing it, and finally turning into a completely twisted creature.

And from the diary, I know that this is not a change in human beings, and that animals and plants all over the world have changed at the same time, which can also explain the reason why this world has such a scene.

So...... Does the world need to be saved?

Lin Ling was a little silent, and just wanted to use her right hand to take out a candy from her body to relieve her emotions, only to remember that her arm had already been broken.

The pain brought her back to her senses.

There are still many questions in the diary, such as how the blue crystals, that is, the virus spores, entered these people's bodies, and Lin Ling didn't know if the system didn't explain it in detail.

And why this diary was wrapped in a vacuum plastic bag and entered the body of the silkworm monster, I am afraid that it is impossible to tell the reason just by the words on it.

However, the only thing that can be determined is that the silkworm monster is by no means the owner of the diary, and for the final diary, if the authenticity is guaranteed, it can be easily judged that the owner of the diary has nothing to do with the silkworm monster, but the female psychiatrist is more likely.

【…… Host, are you okay? 】

It was probably Linling who didn't speak, which made the system watching from the sidelines a little worried.

"Huh? I? I am fine. ”

Lin Ling turned around, with a look on her unsmiling face that the system had seen once.

Seeing it again, the system still can't describe that feeling, it just feels like a person with no expression wearing a normal facial features, and the face is just an ornament.

The emotion of slight regret was subtle in Lin Ling's heart, she shouldn't have crossed with curiosity and casualness before the crossing, she should have brought her work equipment with her if she knew this step......

"System, you'd better check your surroundings, I think we're probably going to have a tough fight." In her heart, Lin Ling had already preliminarily raised the danger level of this mission, and she didn't care if exposing these in front of Xia Xiaoyu would have adverse effects, so she took out the bright red bloodshot from the shadow, took a deep breath and drank it.

"If you want to be low, be low, if I were you, I would take up arms to find the truth, at least not forever squatting here and not being able to do anything." Passing by Xia Xiaoyu, who was still holding her legs and her head lowered, Lin Ling glanced at it, and finally said so.

Even though she knew in her heart that this little girl was just a monster, Lin Ling still didn't restrain her thoughts.

[Host? 】

Pulling out a half-virtual and half-real gun-shaped data cluster from the shadow and throwing it to the system, Lin Ling directly untied the plaster cast on his right arm that he didn't know when he healed, and picked up the bone spear.

As part of the body, these blood capillaries can also be said to have the same effect of causing abnormal mutations, but unlike virus spores, these blood capillaries will only destroy the body's structure when they erupt, and will bring temporary self-healing effects before that.

Based on the information in the diary, the plan of the decoy operation may have changed slightly, but the credibility of the essence will not change much.

It's just that a possible parent moth is added.

"Wait......"

A small voice like a mosquito buzzing came out of Xia Xiaoyu's mouth, she stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Count me in." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Be louder. ”

"I say! Count me in!! ”

The high school girl shouted as hard as she could, and then she was hit in the face with a short knife wrapped in leather.

"Then keep up."

Xia Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, and then followed behind Lin Ling with joy and firmness.
