Chapter 44: Dreams

"Good! We'll take you away! ”

After listening to Ben No. 1's request, Chen Mu only thought about it for a while and agreed.

"Then we'll go now!" Dong Hongfeng also nodded and spoke.

"No, no, no!" At this time, it was Ben No. 1 who rejected them.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Ben No. 1 said, "If I'm not mistaken, is the monster killing right now?" Killing clones, right? ”

"How do you know?" Zhao Yue screamed strangely.

Ben 1 had a smile on his face, "It's simple, if there were no other targets to attract monsters, you wouldn't be so easy to get here, and you wouldn't be too nervous. In addition, clones are far more attractive to monsters than you ......."

"What do you mean? What is the difference between clones and us? Dong Hongfeng asked.

Ben 1 explains: "I said before that Zero has found a way to improve human cloning through dilution reagents, and has been used to improve human cloning. In other words, all clones have that virus in their bodies, but very, very little, but no matter how few they are, this virus still exists in their bodies, and it is basically in their heads and brains. And through my research, there is a strong attraction between viruses to devour each other, so monsters will preferentially choose to attack and devour clones under the instinct of viruses devouring each other. ”

Everyone immediately thought of the monster devouring the brain, and nodded approvingly.

"So what happens to the monster after devouring?" Chen Mu asked.

"It will speed up the mutation!"

Chen Mu's face turned straight and said, "Then we should rush out immediately now to stop this mutation of the monster, lest it become stronger and stronger!" ”

"No," Ben 1 said again, "instead, we should wait until the monster is devoured and let him fully mutate ......"

"Why?"

"Because this variation doesn't happen overnight, it takes a long time to digest. But the monster's instinct makes it constantly devour, which causes devouring to be greater than digesting. The consequence is that it takes a lot of time to dormant after it has been devoured...... This completes the mutation. Therefore, we should wait for it to be devoured and enter dormancy before making a move, so that we can easily succeed. ”

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, and their eyes lit up at the same time.

Dong Hongfeng suddenly spoke: "In that case, we just need to wait for the monster to sleep and kill it." Why do I need to take you with me? ”

Ben No. 1 heard Dong Hongfeng's words and smiled: "First of all, monsters also have instincts in dormancy, if you get close to him, you will probably wake him up, let alone attack him." Secondly, if you want to kill monsters, it's not as simple as you think, and if you don't do it right, I'm afraid it will take a long time. Oh, I forgot to tell you that it took Zero seven days to kill the mutated rat in the first place, and it took him a full seven days to find a way to kill it completely. So, you need me! ”

"Uh, well-known then!" Dong Hongfeng nodded helplessly.

Seeing that everyone accepted his statement, the corners of Ben No. 1's mouth rose slightly, and he continued: "I advise you to rest first, I can see that you are very nervous and tired, which is not conducive to the next action. But before that, please put me on ...... Oh, the tube stuck in the head is pulled out, thank you! ”

Chen Mu listened to Ben No. 1's request, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Why did you pull it off?" Are those that deliver nutrients? Without nourishment, can you sustain it? ”

"This ......," Ben No. 1 looked helpless, "I think you can understand that it will be very uncomfortable to eat the same item for many years in a row. Is it? So do I! Don't worry about me, leave these tubes, I'll be fine for a short time. ”

After listening to Ben No. 1's words, Chen Mu approached him and pulled out a catheter forcefully.

A pungent smell came out immediately.

"It's ...... Preservative? ”

"To be precise, it is an aqueous solution of formaldehyde with a concentration of 37%, which is usually called formalin!" Ben 1 seemed a little excited, and his tone was a little cheerfuler.

"It's used to ......"

"It is used to prevent me from rotting, and I can't do most of my metabolism in my current condition, so I can only use an aqueous solution of formaldehyde to prevent corrosion." After explaining, Ben No. 1 was a little hurried, "There are still a few tubes, help me pull them out, hurry up and ...... quickly"

Looking at his expression, he couldn't wait.

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled out all the catheters.

Ben No. 1 let out a long sigh of relief, unable to hide his excitement, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a long time since I've experienced such a feeling of vitality...... Well, you guys should take a break as soon as possible! It's a good idea to send someone to take a look at what's going on outside every once in a while. I think we need to know what is going on with that monster! ”

As Chen Mu and Dong Hongfeng nodded one after another, the matter was finally settled.

The next arrangement was that Zhao Yue and Wang Shun would take care of Ben No. 1, who had only one head left, while Chen Mu and Dong Hongfeng would take turns to go out to investigate the situation.

More than six hours later, Chen Mu, who walked in cautiously from outside, shook his head at the other people who were waiting: "Still killing!" ”

Twelve hours later, Dong Hongfeng also walked in, "Killing!" ”

Eighteen hours later, Chen Mu finished his investigation, "There are very few people, and they are being hunted and killed!" ”

Twenty-four hours later, everyone was sitting or lying on the ground bored, and Dong Hongfeng, who had gone out to observe the situation, walked in again, with a little excitement on his face: "I don't see any hunting, the clones should be dead!" ”

Everyone shook their spirits at the same time, and they all stood up.

When this moment came, they had been waiting for a day and a night.

These hundreds of clones are not the same as the clones of Lu Yanxia on the rooftop, those clones basically have no independent consciousness of their own, and they don't know how to be afraid and escape, while these clones have basically mature personalities, and after resisting for a while in the face of the killing and devouring of monsters, they all fled in all directions. This also caused the monsters to hunt down the clones for much longer than they did on rooftops.

And at this point, it all finally came to an end.

"Did you see that monster?" Chen Mu asked.

Dong Hongfeng shook his head, "I didn't find it, maybe it's already dormant!" ”

His eyes flickered a little, the actual situation was that Dong Hongfeng observed from a distance, and saw that there were no clones who had escaped, nor any chasing and killing movements and the roars that monsters often made, so he came back, and he didn't even have the courage to carefully search the whereabouts of the monsters.

However, no one else cared about Dong Hongfeng's expression, and hearing the news had already made them a lot more excited.

"Let's go! Find that monster and complete the mission! Chen Mu said to everyone.

"Take me, take me, Wang Shun, you take me!"

At this time, Ben No. 1 hurriedly shouted, as if he was afraid that others would forget him.

He is also familiar with Wang Shun and Zhao Yue, after all, they have been together for 24 hours, but it is obvious that Ben No. 1 has a better attitude towards Wang Shun than Zhao Yue.

Chen Mu's gaze swept slightly over Ben No. 1, and then looked at Wang Shun and Zhao Yue, who suddenly frowned. Because Chen Mu found that Wang Shun and Zhao Yue's spirits were actually a little trance, as if they were very tired.

It stands to reason that after such a long break, this should not be the case. Didn't they rest well? But it shouldn't be, obviously the two of them slept to death when they slept again!

When he was thinking, Wang Shun had already walked over, carefully holding Ben No. 1, which had only one head, in his hand and placing it in front of him. His movements were very light, as if he was afraid of alarming Ben No. 1, and he was expressionless and did not say a word, and the whole movement had a ceremonial solemnity.

I have to say that Wang Shun is holding a living head, such a scene is particularly weird, and people who don't know may have nightmares when they see it.

"Let's go, finish the mission, and get out of here. I don't want to stay here anymore! Dong Hongfeng shouted loudly and walked out first.

Wang Shun followed, his steps light and steady.

Zhao Yue walked forward almost with his eyes closed, he didn't even notice Chen Mu, and almost bumped into it. It wasn't until Chen Mu stretched out his hand to stop him that he shook his body and stopped, opening his bloodshot eyes.

"Brother Chen, I'...... I am so tired...... He kept talking to me, kept talking, kept talking...... I'm so tired......" Zhao Yue said with difficulty, as if he could fall down at any moment.

There was something wrong with this situation, which made Chen Mu frown, and a feeling of unease suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Who is he?" Chen Mu asked.

"The host...... No, it's not ......" Before Zhao Yue finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he fell straight down.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand to support him, looked at it, and found that Zhao Yue was just unconscious.

And Zhao Yue's words made Chen Mu even more shocked. Root? Isn't that a monster that has mutated?

"Why are you so slow, let's go!"

Finding that Chen Mu didn't catch up, Dong Hongfeng turned around and urged him. When he saw the fallen Zhao Yue, he was surprised: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"I've passed out, I'm going to take a break!"

"Scared? Alas, what a rubbish. Let's go, leave him here, he's useless anyway. Dong Hongfeng's tone was a little impatient.

Chen Mu took a look, with Zhao Yue's state at this time, it was indeed impossible to follow them. Moreover, Zhao Yue's situation is not something that can be rested in a short time, and it will be delayed for too long if he waits for him.

So Chen Mu had to stop caring about Zhao Yue and turned to leave.

"Over there, go that way!"

Wang Shun was holding Ben No. 1 a little excited, and looked in one direction, Wang Shun turned around almost without any hesitation.

"What's over there?" Chen Mu asked.

"Monster, it's over there. Yes, it must be right. He's dormant, he's powerful, I can sense it...... Let's hurry up, I'll help you kill him!" ”

Ben No. 1 was a little excited, and under his urging, Wang Shun quickened his pace.

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, seeing that Dong Hongfeng and Wang Shun had already gone away, he stepped up and chased after him.

At this time, Zhao Yue, who was left in the laboratory, suddenly dreamed as if he was frightened: "You are not my master, no!" You're just a clone, don't control me...... Fuck off, fuck off...... Root...... Ben No. 1 ......"
