Chapter 14: The Rain in the New City
Su Hao woke up slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed, with several figures beside the bed, and under the blurred vision, it was not clear who it was for the time being.
There was a little rain outside the window.
"This is a medical shelter. ”
A somewhat familiar female voice came over and paused slightly: "You're okay." ”
It's Tang tea.
Su Hao had a splitting headache and barely remembered that the medical evacuation room was in the school's laboratory building, and it was one of the fifteen evacuation rooms.
Is it raining......
He forced himself to sit up, but was held down by a pair of gentle little hands: "Don't move, the injury on your shoulder is not completely healed." ”
Tang Cha came to the bedside and said with some reproach.
In the thin mist, she bent down, and the fullness and snow-white of her chest fell into Su Hao's eyes.
Su Hao lay down again.
His vision gradually cleared.
You can see the gray-white fog ion protective layer outside the window of the evacuation room, and the raindrops hit the protective layer, making a "popping" sound.
And near him, in addition to Tang Cha, there was also a man, a man with one hand on the medical box.
There seemed to be some hostility in the man's eyes.
However, the man seemed to be tired and leaned back against a chair, as if he didn't want to move.
"It was Xu Yidong who treated you. ”
Tang Cha found Su Hao's gaze and said with a smile.
"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
Su Hao nodded at the man.
He could feel that the injury on his shoulder was almost healed.
After losing the "monster's" ability to recover quickly, Su Hao couldn't imagine that he could recover so quickly, but it was two sword wounds that pierced his shoulder, and he didn't know how much effort this medical officer named Xu Yidong had spent to treat himself?
Of course, Su Hao could also imagine that the other party should be so hard-working at Tang Cha's request.
"You're welcome. ”
Xu Yidong replied lazily.
"Su Hao, are you awake?"
Qin Qin's crisp voice came from the door of the medical shelter, and then she walked to the bedside.
Under the crisp shoulder-length short hair, you can see the worry in those bright eyes.
"Hmmm......"
Su Hao smiled bitterly: "This time, how long have I been in a coma?"
"Four hours. ”
Tang Cha touched his forehead, covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's much faster than the last time I woke up, and I didn't have a cold or fever, not bad." ”
Gentle hands.
Gentle laughter.
made Su Hao's mood calm down.
The face of the special investigator was still visible in front of him, wearing sunglasses, holding a cigar, and the white sword light struck with lightning speed......
He'll remember that face.
And now, no one has said much about the matter of the inquisitor.
"The seed has fallen. ”
Qin Qin walked to the window, looked out the window, and said lightly.
When Tang Cha heard this, he also stood up and looked out the window with a complicated expression.
Xu Yidong, the medical officer who was slumped in the chair, trembled reflexively.
Every rain in the new city brings with it a group of creatures called "seeds".
It is a parasitic organism like a sarcoma, the size of a fist, capable of taking humans, cats and dogs and other animals as parasites and devouring nutrients from them.
As the "seed" grows, the parasitic creature still has a clear consciousness, and can feel that everything in the body is swallowed up by the "seed", and it is better to die than to experience that kind of despair.
In the case of the human body, it only takes an hour for the "seed" to mature.
A mature "seed" will become a plant rooted in the ground, but it has many moving red tentacles, and there are some pores on the tentacles that can absorb mist ions in the air, and can also hunt with tentacles.
Humans are one of the excellent prey.
Every creature that lives in the misty environment will have more or less misty ions in its body, and it is the target of mature seeds, but due to its characteristics of being rooted in the land, it can only wait for rabbits and cannot actively look for prey.
When the mature seeds have absorbed enough mist ions, they release a translucent, light-red gas that rises into the air clouds.
The result of the research is that these translucent light red gases are the offspring of the "seeds".
When certain conditions are met, these gases condense into fist-sized sarcomatous "seeds" that fall with raindrops.
When the gas is released, the mature seeds die.
Generally speaking, the life of a mature seed does not exceed twelve hours, but for humans, every time a seed comes, it can be said to be a great disaster.
The first rain after the fog fell slumped the surviving population of the new city by more than half, and then the construction of shelters in the districts began.
......
Hearing the word "seed", some terrifying memories surfaced in Su Hao's mind.
He seemed to see the little girl in his neighborhood hit by a seed, and her chest was torn apart in an instant......
He seemed to see a young couple downstairs again, the girl was parasitized by the seed, the pain of the expression, and the helplessness of the young man, hugged her and cried bitterly for half an hour, and then was hunted by the red tentacles stretched out from her body, becoming the nutrients of the half-mature seeds......
The first rain.
Came silently.
"Seeds" are raging in the misty zone.
It was the first year that the fog fell, Su Hao was only seven years old, he locked himself in the basement, fear made him tremble, until three days later, when he was hungry to the limit, he stepped out and found that the rain had long since stopped.
The mist-shrouded city is littered with the corpses of mature seeds after they have died.
You can vaguely see the original appearance of the parasite.
There are cats, there are dogs, and more often there are humans.
On the corpse of the mature seed, there are blurred human faces, and only fear and despair remain.
Unconsciously, Su Hao stepped out of bed.
Wearing white short sleeves, his figure looked a little thin, and he came to Tang Cha's side and looked out the window.
Within ten meters of visibility, fist-sized sarcomas could occasionally be seen, as raindrops fell to the ground, struggling to find the parasite, most of which quickly disappeared into the fog.
There are also some seeds, struggling in the direction of the laboratory building.
It even climbed up to the gray protective layer, attached to the outside of the window, exuding a terrifying atmosphere.
They feel that there is someone inside.
But they can't get in.
After failing to find the parasite's seeds within an hour, they all withered and died, turning from bright red to dark purple, falling to the ground, and instead becoming nutrients for some bryophytes.
Su Hao's face suddenly turned a little pale.
"Eh, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Cha then found that he had come to his side.
"I'm fine. ”
Su Hao shook his head.
He just thought of the little girl in his own house, medicine, if it rains at school, it is impossible to avoid it in the third residential area, and there will be seeds falling.
Others can go to a nearby shelter.
But the medicine doesn't.
Something must be wrong with her, right?
"When you come to school this time, won't you say goodbye to her forever?"
In Su Hao's heart, his mood was very complicated.
In the fog, once separated, it may become a farewell, Su Hao has experienced too many times in the past ten years.
He didn't know that now Yao Yao was happy alone.
Because the entire third residential complex was empty, everyone went to a nearby shelter!
Only Yaoyao was left alone in the residential area.
She first went to other people's rooms and looted a lot of food, such as rare fries, corn, etc., and brought them back to Su Hao's room.
Then he actually grabbed two "seeds" from the window and came back.
"Fight, fight!"
Yaoyao looked very angry and disappointed: "Didn't you say that when two seeds met together, they would fight?
In front of her, a basin-sized balloon of water was suspended in mid-air.
This water balloon, of course, is condensed by the medicine with mist ions.
Among the translucent light blue balloons, she held two seeds.
These two guys are aggrieved.
It was hard to find a little girl who could be parasitic, but this little girl didn't play her cards according to common sense, and actually caught them and locked them up together!
Over time.
The vitality of the seed fades.
In order to buy a moment more to survive, they finally began to devour each other.
That's exactly what Yaoyao wants to see.
"It's really a fight!"
The little girl looked excitedly, eating the food she had scavenged from other places, not knowing that Su Hao was worried about her now.
......
Schools, shelters.
"Su Hao, since you're fine, let's go with the teacher. ”
Qin Qin came to him and winked at him: "Do you want to learn ion armor now?"
Ionic armor.
The skills that can be learned and performed after fusing with the mist ions to reach 20%, and have a strong defensive ability, it is still necessary for Su Hao to learn now.
"Hmm. ”
Su Hao nodded.
Anyway, there is nothing else to do in the shelter now, and the injury is almost healed, so it's time to do something serious.
For this, he was quite grateful to the medical officer named Xu Yidong.
I heard that in order to heal himself quickly, he consumed all his strength and condensed dozens of medical goblins to come out.
This can make Su Hao's injuries basically recover within half a day.
"Where are we going to study?"
Su Hao asked.
"Biology room. ”
Qin Qin said with a smile: "There just happened to be someone to go with, of course, what he wants to learn is much more advanced than yours, if you have the opportunity, you can ask him for something, he is an out-and-out genius." ”
"Genius? Who is he?"
Su Hao was stunned when he heard this, and thought of a name that he had only heard of.
"You'll know when you come, and all in all, you won't be disappointed today. ”
Qin Qin smiled a little mysteriously, and pulled him out of the medical shelter.
"Biology room!"
Tang Cha's eyes lit up, as a fog inspector, she often dealt with all kinds of mutated creatures and even terrifying beings on weekdays, and in the biology room of the school, there were really some special existences, she was still very curious.
"Xu Yidong, are you going?"
Tang Cha asked back.
"I'm tired and don't want to move. ”
The young medical officer replied lazily.
Tang Cha looked at the door, in the mist, his somewhat thin figure leaned on the chair, one hand pressed the medical box on the table, outside the window behind him, two vague "seeds" climbed on the protective layer, staring at him, but helpless.
"Cha Cha, you have to be careful, I heard that there was an accident in the biology room of this school. ”
His voice came from the mist.
"Don't call me that ......"
Tang Cha snorted lightly: "However, I will be careful." ”
She turned around and walked out of the medical shelter, following Qin Qin and Su Hao.
