Chapter 9: The Catastrophe and Rebirth
The car plunged headlong into the suburbs and into a small town. Fan Li looked at the façade here and was stunned, this is really the feeling of "August and autumn high wind roaring, rolling up the triple thatch on my house", what reliable hospital can there be in such a dilapidated town, does this Brad like to work in such an environment?
They arrived at a small clinic with an old façade with rusty iron frames peeking out from the edges of the plastic sheeting. Ali ran into the outpatient clinic with Jiao Yang, who was about to fall unconscious, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that a group of people were queuing up to see a doctor.
"Doctor! Brad! Ali shouted at a fat man in a white lab coat.
"Who are you?" The man put down his work and pulled down his reading glasses to look at it. Fan Li and Ni Ziqiong also followed Ali in, and for some reason, the first moment they saw Brad, Fan Li actually thought of Justin. In terms of size, Brad looks like Justin, but without his baldness and with an extra pair of reading glasses.
"Brad, hurry up and save someone!" Ni Ziqiong saw the white coat behind the crowd and said sharply.
Seeing Ni Ziqiong, Brad saw an acquaintance, and immediately understood something, he stood up and trotted over to this side.
"I'm sorry everyone, there is a patient here who needs surgery, you will come to see the doctor tomorrow, with the number list, I will see it for free."
"Follow me!" Brad ran up a narrow staircase to the second floor, and Ali followed him into the operating room. Fan Li's arrival on the second floor greeted him was a place with simple decoration but luxurious equipment, and Fan Li's eyes saw that some equipment had a small "ant nest" logo on the side, and immediately understood.
"Get out, you're a man." Brad said to Ali in the operating room. "Ni Ziqiong, come in!"
Ni Ziqiong picked up the white coat that Brad hung on the side and walked into the place where the disinfection room was written, and Ali reluctantly walked to Fan Li's side. It seems that this is not the first time Ni Ziqiong has come here, and every move shows her familiarity with this place.
"You say, is this reliable? How do I think this is a small clinic, and it would be good to see some colds and fevers. He sat in a nearby chair and waited. He said, staring at the door of the operating room.
Fan Li pointed to a device in front of him. "Didn't you notice the 'ant nest' sign on it? I guess the equipment here is all coming in from the 'ant nest', and the cost performance is very high, and it is not available on the market. It's certainly not as simple as a small clinic. It's not the first day you've worked at the 'Ant Hive', and although these old guys are nominally out of the organization, they are still secretly connected to the 'Ant Hive'. ”
The two waited until it was close to midnight before Brad and Ni Ziqiong came out of the operating room, and Ali and Fan Li immediately stood up and asked about Jiao Yang's condition.
"On the surface, it is a simple arterial cut, but the virus in the actual wound is the big problem. These viruses are the type I've never seen before, but luckily there are things from Justin that he calls a 'panacea' that temporarily stabilizes the patient's condition. She will be observed for at least three days, and she will stay here during this time. ”
Ali and Fan Li nodded, and then glanced at Ni Ziqiong together.
"It's okay, Jiao Yang is very safe here, this place belongs to the control of the 'ant nest', Brad used to be a famous doctor of the 'ant nest', although he is now discharged from the army, but he is still engaged in medicine, I sometimes ask him for help."
"So what do we do next? What did you mean when you said there were some more powerful things? Fan asked Li.
"I'll clean up first. We'll get to that later. ”
Brad pushed Jiao Yang into the hospital room and continued to observe her condition. Fan Li and Ali sat in an empty hospital room, and he looked up at the pitch-black world outside the window, imagining the mystery behind the darkness. At this time, Ni Ziqiong walked into the room. She had taken off her white coat and tied her red hair in a lean ponytail.
"I don't think the fact that Chu Xingfeng was affected is by no means as simple as what we see. I think you've already discovered the inhabitants who have been attacked by Chu Xingfeng. After turning into monsters, they are more difficult to deal with than Scorched Corpses, and although they have no intelligence in their individual attacks, they are very orderly in group attacks. knows how to cooperate, and even if you break your head, you still don't die, unless you break your whole body, or burn it with fire. We must find the mystery behind the matter as soon as possible, if the other party is the enemy of the 'Ant Nest', then use this way to attack the 'Ant Nest' at this juncture, then the 'Ant Nest' will suffer heavy losses. ”
"I've always felt that these monsters are very similar in their attack patterns...... It's programmed.,It's like an ant.,Although the individual is not assertive.,But the whole is very organized.。 Thinking back to the Sha Wei I had seen before, I wondered if these monsters would also have someone who could control them, such as Chu Xingfeng. ”
"This question is still more complicated, I still need to think about it for a while, Jiao Yang will leave it to you here, someone will pick me up in ten minutes, when do you think of the time to contact me."
"You're leaving?" Fan Li looked at Ni Ziqiong with a look of surprise.
"It's not something I should be asking about, I've reported it to Lamba and he'll make a strategy accordingly." Ni Ziqiong smiled. "When I'm not there, you take extra care, and if a monster appears, you must notify the 'Ant Nest' headquarters first, and you can't make claims without authorization."
Looking at Ni Ziqiong's leaving, Fan Li just shook his head helplessly. Ni Ziqiong has returned to normal, the angry Ni Ziqiong before has disappeared, and she wants to continue to devote herself to normal life. That's right, Ni Ziqiong has paid so much for the "ant nest" and deserves her own life, she has resigned from the "ant nest" and has the right not to be bothered by the trivial matters of the "ant nest".
"Is she just gone?" Ali stared at the empty doorway in a daze.
"She came to make Chu Xingfeng disappear in this world, and now she has a heart disease, and it is normal to leave. Inform the search and rescue team of the 'Ant Nest' to search for survivors at the scene, and let's go there and have a look. ”
"But Jiao Yang, she ......"
"Brad is a member of the Knights, do you still doubt his strength?" Fan Li patted Ali on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we're still a burden to him."
Blood...... He smelled blood.
He pushed aside the boulder pressing down on his body, and tried to open his eyes to look around, and he could see clearly in such a dark environment.
He found himself in a ruin, surrounded by rubble or corpses with missing arms and legs. He emerged from the rubble and twisted his neck. There was a pain in the neck.
He didn't understand what was wrong with him, he just felt his throat itch and couldn't help but lie down in a puddle to the side and take a sip of rainwater. He held the ruins in his hands and looked down at himself in the water. The ugly messy teeth are still there, but they don't have the same bloodiness as before. He found that instead of craving to bite someone as he had the other day, he was able to calm down and think about the ins and outs of things.
He remembered what had happened before, and even more remembered that among the sudden group of soldiers, there was a person he knew very well. That's Ni Ziqiong, but not the skinny singer on the TV or computer screen, but a formidable Predator.
He remembered standing on the fifth floor looking for a place to hide. Ni Ziqiong suddenly jumped out of the window, holding two slender sabers. Although he has brute strength, he is not Ni Ziqiong's opponent, after a few rounds, his neck, limbs and back were scratched by Ni Ziqiong, if he hadn't become rough and thick-skinned, he would have been pierced into a hornet's nest by her.
It was the first time he had seen such a terrifying Ni Ziqiong, and for him it was the feeling of death coming, but fortunately, he had enough minions. Those who were bitten to death by themselves actually obeyed their own orders and used their bodies to block Ni Ziqiong's pursuit, so that he was able to escape. But the ensuing crazy bombing caught him off guard.
Now he understood. He escaped Ni Ziqiong's pursuit and survived the explosion, it seems that God is blessing him, and there is no endless road. It is a catastrophe for him to become like this, but there will be a blessing in the future if he does not die, and he feels that his glory has just begun.
Come to think of this. He stood up and walked towards the outskirts. Xicheng is a man with many eyes and is easy to spot, and he needs to find a quiet place to figure out the changes that have occurred in his body. At this moment, there was a whistle from a police car in front of him, and he saw a light shining three meters away from him.
He threw himself into the rubble in fright, and crawled towards the side where no one was around, and immediately there was a commotion behind him, as if he heard someone shouting something like "Anomaly found".
He understands that if he is caught by the police, he will be dragged to the laboratory as a monster, and if he resists, he will be shot and killed instantly. There was another burst of searchlights behind him, and he could already see his own shadow on the ground.
"Don't move! Hold it! "There was a warning from the police not far away, but fortunately these were just policemen, unlike the soldiers just now, they did not shoot immediately, but issued a warning first.
He found that he was extremely fast, jumping over obstacles frequently, and he didn't feel tired, and he usually felt out of breath when he went to the fifth floor, but now he could step into the ranks of parkour enthusiasts.
He left the police far behind, and his usually inferior little heart suddenly rose with a sense of pride. He felt like a track and field athlete galloping on the track, following the wind. Gunshots began to sound behind him, but at such a distance, how could a bullet hit him.
This is not a fall, not a setback and a calamity, but a rebirth! He opened his arms and embraced the strong wind, feeling a strong air current rushing towards him. After the ordeal of the past few days, he finally saw hope, he is a traveler across the desert, a pioneer who climbed Mount Everest, and a pioneer who broke through gravity!
There was a sudden scream in front of him, and then he felt numbness in his legs, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground, sliding straight ahead, hitting a concrete block.
A wave of anger welled up in his heart, and he stood up and looked ahead, and a burly man walked slowly, wearing a black cloak, revealing a pair of black eyes, and his arms wrapped in dirty, thick bandages.
"Little thing, you have received the gift of the gods, next, do you want to continue to fight for the gods, or be a monster who lives in the world." A dry sound came from under the cloak, like the screaming of a summer cicada, or the sound of a mantis on the prairie. He couldn't see the man's face, because all he could see was the dark eyes.
