Chapter 20: Salvation
"Kaiming, wake up. ”
Angel wanted to shake him, but the heavy metal body was not something she could shake, so she patted his face instead, and the strength of ordinary people was obviously too light for him, so she knocked on his head, and the sound of a thump sounded very metallic.
He finally opened his eyes with a deep groan, and his two crimson pupils kept looking at her.
Why is he still angry about that kiss when he keeps staring at people? Hey, what the hell is this metal monster thinking?
"I can't move you alone, can you walk?"
He tried to straighten up, the scales on his body tinkling in a pleasant sound. Although he was staggering, he was able to stand up, but he needed her support to walk.
The two walked towards the jeep with heavy steps, "Now that Cairo is safe, we can drive to the Suez Canal and leave this demon-infested place from there." ”
As she spoke, she suddenly noticed that Kaiming had stopped.
"What's wrong?"
He glanced at his current metal body, then motioned for her to get into the car alone. He is no longer a human being, and it is better to stay in this place than to return to civilized society and be criticized.
"Brother Kaiming, let's go back together. Now that science is advanced, we will definitely find a way to turn back into a human being. ”
Being messed around in the lab is not what he wants.
At that moment, a white smoke rolled to the feet of the two of them, and another, and then three or four of them jumped out together, causing the smoke owls all around.
"I'm a little ......dizzy," Angel just finished speaking, and fell directly to the ground.
Not good, there's something wrong with this cigarette.
Cumming watched around vigilantly as a group of men emerged from the smoke, wearing gas masks, holding *, dressed in camouflage uniforms, and with the Star-Spangled Banner emblem on their arms.
These people acted quickly and cooperated tacitly, and they were obviously well-trained special forces.
The soldiers surrounded the place, and for a moment all their guns were pointed at Kemin.
He crouched down to inspect Anqi's condition, but fortunately she had just fainted, and her life was not in danger.
He got back to his feet, baring his teeth and claws to scare off the approaching soldiers.
"Steady, don't fire, stay alive. "A commander-like man controls the scene.
They threw a net and held Kai Ming in a normal state where ten such nets would not have been able to trap him, but after a fierce battle, only a stump remained, and he was no longer able to resist.
When Angel woke up, the white smoke had dissipated, and she stood alone in the ruins, the monsters, the soldiers, long gone.
In the evening, the banks of the canal are shrouded in fog, and the normally busy harbor is now deserted, with no merchant ships coming in and out, and the river is calm. The east bank of the canal is brightly lit, while the opposite bank is dark.
Two soldiers guarding the riverbank were talking, "Is this country going to end? ”
"The disaster came suddenly, even the government ran away, what else can we expect?"
Neither of them noticed that their superiors were standing behind them, "What are you talking about? Keep an eye on the other side of the river, and don't let a bird fly by, you know?"
They straightened their backs and saluted, "Yes, sir." ”
"Be smart. The chief glanced at them, then turned to leave.
"Look, there's something in the river. ”
The three of them leaned against the fence and looked out, and a small windsurfing board appeared in the fog, and the chief put binoculars on his eyes, and saw a woman rocking the paddle back and forth.
It was an old boat, the bolts used to hold the fence were rusty, the sails were full of holes, and it had long since lost its usefulness, but fortunately it had a stroke on it, and the reason why this abandoned wrecked boat on the dock was chosen because it was simple enough not to have to face the headache of the buttons of modern boats.
Angel rowed to the center of the river, heard the hull of the boat clattering by the waves, and silently prayed in her heart, hoping that it would survive to the end. Fortunately, it is not far from the other side, so it is a big deal to swim over. She paddled and looked out, and although there was a layer of fog, the lights on the other side were clearly visible, and thankfully, if it was as empty as Cairo, she would have collapsed.
As soon as the bow of the boat touched the embankment, a group of people, dressed in silver chemical suits and face masks, sprayed the women on the boat with small tubes.
The water injected made Angel's eyes feel uncomfortable, and she reached out to block it, but they sprayed endlessly, and soon she was covered in foam all over her body.
Two of the men, who were fully guarded, entered the boat and took her by the arm without saying a word, and when they were taken away, Angel saw them use a welder to make a small hole in the bottom of the boat, and when the river filled the cabin, the boat sank.
Confused by the actions of these men, she was wheeled into a small room sealed with a plastic curtain, where two women in chemical hazmat suits were already waiting, stripped of her clothes and sealed with plastic bags.
"What are you going to do?" Angie hugged her naked body and watched them approach step by step.
There was another burst of spray, and she couldn't stand the water in her eyes, so she desperately dodged to the side, but her foot slipped and fell to the waterlogged ground.
The spray stopped, and they began to wash back and forth on her body with a brush, shoulders, breasts, and buttocks, not sparing an inch of skin, the brush was so rough that it almost scraped off a layer of skin on her body, making Angel cry incessantly.
After a series of tests, she was placed in a room with a bright light above her head, which made her eyes feel uncomfortable all the time, with a table in the center and two aluminum chairs facing each other.
She had just sat down when the door opened. In came an Arab man, wearing a pair of wide black sunglasses, a black suit, two folders in his left arm, and a cup of coffee in his right hand.
He placed the coffee in front of Angel and sat down across the table.
The coffee on the table was steaming, and Angel was already thirsty and hungry, stretching out her trembling hand to feel the warmth of the ceramic cup.
The man looked closely at the woman holding hot coffee in both hands, her long hair still dripping, a thick blanket draped over her body, her dark eyes drooping indifferently, and her body remained taut.
Judging from her facial features, she should be from East Asia.
"Ma'am, what's your name? Where are you from, Can you understand English?"
"My name is Angel and I'm from China. ”
You guessed it.
"When did you come to Egypt and what did you do here?"
"On October 1st, I traveled to Egypt with my sister and brother-in-law. She gave herself their names again.
"What about them?"
After a long silence, she said, "Sister was captured by a monster, Kaiming, he, he became a monster." ”
Angel deliberately observed the Arab man, who was making notes on the papers, with an Egyptian flag badge on his collar, which should be a local government official, and strangely, when he heard the answer, there was no trace of surprise on his face, as if he knew what was happening in Egypt.
"Ma'am, don't be kidding, you're going to let me write this laugh-out thing in my report?" he said.
"I'm telling the truth. Angel got up from her chair, looked at him with both eyes, and said, "Kaiming is still in Cairo, please send someone to find him immediately." ”
The man saw that she was emotional, so he let go of the pen in his hand, "You're wasting everyone's time. He said, clasping his hands to his chest.
As if she couldn't count on them anymore, Angel calmed down and sat back in her chair, "When can I get out of here?"
"Feel free to do so, when I'm done with the report. ”
"I want to meet the Chinese ambassador. ”
"That will have to wait until I finish the report. ”
Angel had nothing to say, and when the man saw that she was no longer messing around, he continued, "Ma'am, I know that you have just experienced something unfortunate, but please cooperate with my work." Egypt is facing a deadly virus invasion, and we are in great need of witnesses like Miss who go to the center of the epidemic area to provide on-the-spot reports. ”
"What virus, epidemic area? There's no virus there, it's a monster, a big man-eating monster, and it's eating the people of Cairo. ”
The man stopped his pen again, "Look, you're disrupting my work again, and you're actually delaying your own time." ”
"I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?" Angel was so mad that she even had the idea of killing.
"Ma'am, please come back to my question, what do you see in the epidemic area?" the man said.
Angel didn't answer, glared at him, and said in her heart: Your sister!
Seeing that she had not spoken, the man said, "Ma'am, I would like to remind you that we have not yet announced your findings, which means that you are still on the list of missing persons." ”
"You threaten me. Angel couldn't believe it.
The corners of the man's mouth turned up slightly, "No, it's a reminder." ”
Why would they do this? Angel couldn't guess, but it was obvious that he was warning her, and he didn't look like a joke.
So next, whatever he asked, she answered, no longer mentioning monsters, first endure not to have seizures, and leave this ghost place.
The man sorted out the documents in his hand, read them quickly, and handed them to Angel after feeling satisfied, "Please sign your name." ”
Angel took it and looked at it, except for her personal information, everything else was nonsense, and the most infuriating thing was a few lines of text in the self-report column:
On October 1st, my sister and brother-in-law and I arrived in Cairo. On October 3, the local outbreak caused a large number of local deaths in a short period of time, and the government temporarily closed the airport and provided timely assistance to those in the affected area. On the morning of October 4th, my sister had dizziness and fever and other infection characteristics, and was urgently sent to Greece by the local government in the afternoon for treatment. On October 6, my brother-in-law was infected with the virus and unfortunately died. On October 7, I left the epidemic area alone and was rescued.
I, Angel, personally assure that the above is all true.
"Shit!" she wanted to tear up the papers and burn them to ashes. But under the man's supervision, she obediently grabbed the pen.
