Chapter 48: Cells

Bang!

The gunfire finally exploded, especially deafening in the silence of the night.

Xu Weiguo raised the gun in the direction of the steel gun levitation, pulled the trigger, and should have hit it.

Bang!

The steel gun fell to the ground, and Cologne, who was probably shot, also realized that the steel gun would expose its tracks, and stopped picking it up.

And I finally took advantage of this moment to pull out my gun.

"Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

My heart was hitting like a pacemaker, like it was going to blow up in my chest. I remembered what the Star Core had said that my status as a prison guard would be hated by interstellar criminals. I finally figured out why this guy kept bothering me. But there is only one bullet left in the gun in my hand now, as long as one shot misses, it is estimated that this little life of mine will be the first to be ended before Xu Weiguo kills it, or in the year when it kills others.

What to do?!

Cold sweat slid down my forehead, and my tense muscles stiffened.

Call!

A gust of wind came out and blew up the embers in the fire, and I almost subconsciously looked at the ground that had been paved with a shallow layer of black fine gray, and the feet of the thing stepped on the embers, revealing footprints the size of a fan.

I found traces of it!!

However, before I could react, the pace suddenly accelerated, as if it had rushed to me in an instant, and I almost instinctively raised the gun, my hand seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of slime, and with a bang, the trigger was pulled!

After the gunshot, my body flew upside down and slammed into the ground, followed by a huge object that pressed down on me, almost suffocating me.

Half ringing.

When the intense dizziness was stripped out of my mind, I could see from the dim light of the fire what was pressing on me in front of me.

Even though I've seen Cologne in its real form, I can't help but feel a tingling in my scalp when it appears in front of my eyes.

It's dead.

I pulled my hand out of its giant mouth, along with the gun covered in its mouth mucus. I made up the picture in my head, and it was coming at me quickly, trying to knock me away, but I put the gun at its mouth before it hit me, because of inertia, it held my hand in the mouth, and I fired

I was still scared for a while, and cold sweat broke out of my pores. Lin Haiming helped pull me out from under it.

I glanced at Xu Weiguo, who was protecting Huang Ying behind me with an expressionless face, and felt a little inexplicable, to be precise, it should be not angry, a kind of resentment that was ignored, but I thought that he had also fired a shot just now, and it indirectly saved my life, so I diluted the resentment in my heart and turned it into a faint gratitude.

"Thank you."

I thanked Lin Haiming.

"You're my savior."

He shook his head, and his sunny and handsome face looked natural, as if he had recovered from the pain of losing a loved one, but I knew that he hid it well, because not long ago, I saw his heart-rending laughter, and he promised the little girl that she could only laugh and not cry.

"If it's all right, we'll go and rest first."

Xu Weiguo pulled Huang Ying, who was frightened by Cologne's true face, and calmly glanced at Cologne, who was dead on the ground.

I nodded somewhat perfunctorily. Because the voice of the star core sounded in my head.

"Scanning for offender information

Host kills E-class criminals: Cologne

Nutrients can be drawn: the special cell carcass on the left side of the Cologne heart

Rewards the host with the Prison Guard perk, but requires the host's low-level perk to be replaced

Host Position Information:

One-Star Merit: Kill an E-Class criminal, 60% completed

Hunter Level: D

Prison Officer Rank: Half Star

Half-star prison guard permissions: Not yet"

After listening to the star nucleus, I asked, "What is that special cell fetus?" And gave a direct answer to the police privilege: "Agree to cancel the low-level privilege and exchange it for the prison guard privilege reward." ”

The star nucleus responded: "The special cell fetus in Cologne's body can secrete scales that cover the whole body like Cologne, and make the host invisible, and the star nucleus can help the host differentiate the cell fetal tissue, reorganize, and increase the host's chances of success."

The host has agreed to cancel the first Prison Guard privilege and redeem it for this Prison Guard Privilege: Possession!

When the host encounters an irresistible danger, the control body can be used, and at that time, the star core will control the host's body, exerting its physical potential beyond twice the host's physical fitness, and the time limit is five minutes. ”

Control the body? I suddenly felt a sense of crisis in my heart, and subconsciously responded to the star core: "Can you not exchange it!" ”

"The host has agreed to the exchange, and it cannot be changed." The star core mechanically responded to me, it really made me angry, but I couldn't find a place to vent, but I just understood that I was pitted by this thing again.

I took a deep breath, calmed the churning emotions in my heart, and asked the star core, "You mean, as long as I eat that cell carcass, I can have the ability to become invisible like Cologne?" ”

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt joyful, if I could be invisible for a moment, all kinds of fantasies would come one after another, it can be said that I can see the blue sky through the clouds.

"Yes!"

The star core replied to me, and instantly made me uncontrollably excited. But I resisted my excitement and asked, "Will there be any sequelae?" ”

"Yes."

The word star core was like a basin of cold water in an instant, pouring it on my heart.

But I'm still a little unwilling: "What's the sequelae?" ”

"There is a fifty percent chance that the synthesis of cells will fail, and the time limit for use depends on the host's physique, and there is no other information for the time being."

After listening to the words of the star core, I gradually calmed down, as if the above sequelae are not unacceptable, but the probability, and the invisibility timeliness is a problem, especially with the kind of goosebumps that make people feel like monsters?

"Brother Zhou?"

"Huh?"

I woke up from my thoughts, it was Lin Haiming calling me.

"What's wrong?"

I asked him.

"It's nothing, look at you in a daze, think what's wrong." Lin Haiming smiled embarrassedly.

"It's fine."

I shook my head, but suddenly I said, "Where are you going to go?" ”

After saying that, I immediately stopped my mouth, for fear of poking his scar.

"Brother Zhou, where do you think I should go?"

He shook his head with a smile, and glanced softly at the sleeping girl's medical room, his expression revealing a loneliness that did not match his age.

His complicated smile really touched me, and after a moment of silence, I asked tentatively, "I'm also alone, how about following me if you don't mind?" ”

He looked at me and nodded: "Well, although I am not too old, I am already an adult, and I know that I know that I am grateful to repay you, Brother Zhou, you saved my life, and I will follow you." ”

I smiled, "It's not that serious. ”

"Star core, can anyone but me use that cell fetus?"

Looking at the boy in front of me, who had not faded away, I was really moved by compassion, if I could give him this stealth ability to protect himself in this last world, it would be considered a piece of kindness, and I have the alien technology of the star core, if my luck is not too bad, I should be able to live on it. But apart from these, I should have some other selfish motives more or less, but the hidden ones are too deep, not good, not evil, maybe just an instinct, I can't dig it out and write it into words.

"It can be used, but there is no star nucleus assistance, and it requires utensils to inject cellular fetal fluid into the blood vessels, and the synthesis rate is only 10%, sequelae: it is easy to cause blood vessel blockage, causing (source) that is, the heart stops moving, and the name of the disease in the prison system is: thrombosis, heart disease."

After listening to Xing Core's words, I fell silent, but after thinking about it, I told Lin Haiming that it was up to him to choose, after all, this is also an opportunity

"Stealth?!"

After listening to my words, Lin Haiming's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he became a little more angry.

I nodded: "But it's easy to cause sequelae." ”

"Is it a test?"

He asked.

"There's a 10 percent chance of success." That's all I can say to him.

"Good!"

He was silent for a moment, looked at me, and nodded solemnly. It's like a soldier who is ready to die, and because of my words, I know that there are tigers in the mountains but prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Later, I realized that the boy I had inadvertently saved with compassion could indeed die for my words, but this is a later story.

"How?" He asked.

I glanced at Cologne's corpse lying on the ground: "Take out the cell carcass on the left side of its heart, use a syringe, and inject it into the blood vessels. ”

He nodded, then turned and went into the infirmary, where he found a knife to cut through the skin and a syringe.

"Brother Zhou, is this it?" He pointed to a mass of milky liquid wrapped in bubbles in Rimina, a carcass of cells resembling bitter gall

The corners of my eyes twitched a little as I watched him cut open Cologne's chest and abdomen with an expressionless face, and saw that the organs in the abdomen of the corpse still exuded the smell of scarlet heat, and the stomach was overturned, perhaps it was his sister's death that caused him great mental damage, causing his inner character to become cold, or maybe it was everything that happened after the disaster that forged the boy's tenacious nerves.

"Yes."

Having the star core answer, I nodded to him.
