Chapter 68: Old Friends
"There's a feeling of being watched."
As he approached the huge villa building, Yu Jing had the feeling of being watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes, very similar to the feeling of being stared at by thousands of reptile clones in the 'Suicide Abyss'. Also, the sound of some kind of fingernails scraping on the wooden board could be faintly heard.
The number is too large to estimate.
The three who approached found the small wooden door on the side of the main villa ajar.
"Crunch!"
When Yu Jing pushed open the wooden door, a strong aura of death hit him head-on.
The side door corresponds to a walkway leading to the hall, which is lined with pale yellow printed wallpaper, while a large number of dark Renaissance paintings are hung on the walls, giving a sense of silence and death.
Suddenly, a system prompt came into the minds of the three of them.
"The North District side plot - [Infected Death Villa] triggered."
Side plot introduction:
The private villa hidden outside the town of Blackwood was established in 19XX by Professor Dani of France and Professor Tu Zhizhong of Huaxia Kingdom. The couple worked in the same research group during their master's and doctoral studies, and devoted their lives to the pathological research of viruses and bacteria, and established this private villa in the relatively remote 21st district for personal scientific research.
The husband and wife can produce many world-leading research results every year and enjoy a high subsidy from the Ministry of Education. The two have two sons, and they live a peaceful and happy life, not disturbed by the outside world.
A few years later, a deadly plague broke out in District 21.
However, the family of Professor Tu Zhizhong, a professor of microbial pathology in Huaxia, who lives in the northern suburbs, and whose villa serves as his and his wife's laboratory, have long been set up to prevent infection and various treatment measures. As soon as the plague broke out in Area 21, the villa was immediately closed to the outside and the nano filter was activated to ensure that his family was not infected.
It's just that due to the severe spread of the plague, the army has already blockaded the 21st District, and it is very difficult to get out.
One day, a visitor living in the center of the forbidden area arrived, a close friend of Professor Tu Zhizhong, and at the same time brought the plague into the family.
Professor Tu Zhizhong's family, who were mildly infected, were relatively conscious at the beginning, and immediately began to analyze the pathogens infected in the body in an attempt to produce antigens. However, the complexity of this source of infection is beyond Professor Tu Zhizhong's imagination, especially the special DNA structure that can be deconstructed and recombined independently, and there is no antigen to deal with.
In the long process of research, Tu Zhizhong's family began to show various abnormal manifestations, the bloodthirsty and radical personality slowly occupied the brain, the number of muscle cells increased, the energy content increased, and the activation of most cells in the body was enhanced, and the body had the ability to regenerate.
The youngest son in the family, Tu Tianworm, is relatively slow to be infected because some of his body organs are not fully developed.
Before Professor Tu Zhizhong went completely crazy, he injected a pathogen that he had studied all his life into his youngest son's body with the same measurement, trying to make the virus interact with the external source of infection.
However, this attempt was successful, resulting in a special human being who was not infected.
But in the following life, the whole family distorted, broke away from the category of normal humans, and began to hunt humans near private villas, whether normal or infected. Using the human flesh system as food to fill the needs of the infected body, he lives a crazy and twisted pathological life.
Although the normal smear worm is not infected, it is too young to distinguish right from wrong.
Growing up in this sick environment, twisted and crazy thoughts have become ingrained in their minds and cannot be removed from their nature.
At present, Tu Tian Worm has been reborn from death and lives in this villa as the embodiment of death.
Side Story Completion Requirements: Clear the Death Incarnation - Tu Tian Worm.
Side Story Reward: Outer Restricted Area Pass ×1. Professor Tu Zhizhong's characteristic virus ×1.
"Ask to kill Tu Tian Worm? The value of the trait virus in the reward is incalculable, and it may play an important role in the plot of the movie later...... But no matter how important it is, it is not as important as Mr. Tu's ally. ”
The name of Tu Tianworm is naturally known to Yu Xiaoxiao and Ning Yanzhi.
Ning Yanzhi never thought that Yu Jing would be able to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with such a bad guy, and it could even be said to be a friendly relationship.
The aura of death was even more dignified in the villa, and Yu Xiaoxiao was close to Yu Jing, and his palm was ready to pull out the "Death Curse Short Blade" on his back at any moment.
Skirting the hallway to a richly decorated two-story square hall, a middle-aged man sits on a couch with freshly baked popcorn and is watching an early 19th-century European and American vampire movie, Nosferatu.
At the same time, the walls of the hall were crawling with forty or fifty twisted individuals identical to the man, wiping their heads with rags in their hands, wiping the dust.
"Teacher Tu."
"Oh! Yujing, you're finally here. ”
The man sitting on the sofa is the math teacher who had an appointment with Yu Jing in the movie "Silent Dead School" - Tu Tianworm.
Tu Tianworm was dressed in neat semi-formal clothes, and his appearance was basically not much different from a year ago. There are only a small number of clones cleaning in the hall, and Yu Jing estimates that there are definitely thousands of clones in other parts of this villa, and even in the basement.
The cleanliness and tidiness inside and outside of the villa, even the manicured lawn, is all due to these doppelgangers.
"Everyone is an acquaintance, so sit casually."
Tu Tianworm snapped his fingers, and immediately a clone went to make tea.
"Teacher Tu, do you know anything about the Xenocinema?"
"Of course, it's clear that I'm already the second time I've existed as an NPC in the movie. It's just that last time it was a level boss, this time it's just an ordinary NPC (not a player character or a plot character). Unexpectedly, I finally rushed back to my hometown and still couldn't avoid this kind of errand, and I also received a warning prompt just now, did you trigger the side plot to kill me? ”
"Yes, but I'm not going to finish it. I'm here for the appointment, nine months ago, you said in the abyss of suicide that you needed my help, and now I've reached the "ghost stage" and come here, tell me. ”
"Help me kill a woman who lives in the inner infected area."
Through the description of the side quest just now, Yu Jing can roughly guess that this woman should be the best friend of Tu Tianworm's father, and she is also the culprit who brought the plague into this family.
"We are also going to the inner area, so Mr. Tu should simply join us to complete the task of this movie theater."
Just like when he was in high school, Yu Jing stretched out his hand to invite Tu Tianworm to join his team.
"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Yujing, your progress is really rapid, in that case, I will be your guide in the forbidden area."
When the two shook hands, there was another prompt sound in the villa:
"Hidden side plot trigger."
