Chapter 8: Are You a Monster Too?

The flame burns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The corpse of the middle-aged researcher was burned to the point that there was nothing left, and it was clean.

Su Hao's consciousness gradually woke up.

What appeared in front of him was a little girl with her hands behind her back, looking at him straightly.

With double ponytails dangling behind her head, her delicate face like a porcelain doll, her eyes as deep as the starry sky, and a pair of dimples appearing on her smile.

"Sure enough, it's a monster, and it's completely recovered in ten minutes. ”

The little girl looked very happy.

Su Hao leaned against the cold and hard wall, and found that his body was indeed intact, but his clothes had all been burned, and he was inexplicably covered with an earthy yellow coat.

This coat ...... It must have been the little girl in front of you from nearby, right?

The skin that had been burned before losing consciousness had been completely restored, and listening to the little girl in front of him, it seemed that it only took him ten minutes to recover.

Is it faster than before......

However, Su Hao couldn't feel it now, there was any abnormality in his body - this meant that he couldn't even feel the existence of that "monster".

He only got one message.

Until he obtains a large amount of mist ions, his monster-like recovery ability will cease to exist, because the "monster" has exhausted its strength and fallen into a deep sleep.

As for how much "a lot of mist ions" is, he is not clear.

Anyway, a lot.

Su Hao has a little memory of when he turned into a "monster", but it's all about the little girl in front of him, her name is Yaoyao, and she is the one who was chased by the research officer, and there seem to be some secrets hidden in her body.

For the "monster" in his body, Su Hao couldn't remember anything at all.

"When you wake up, leave quickly. ”

Said Yaoyao.

"Where?"

Su Hao really didn't have an idea.

He killed a research officer.

Will you be able to stay in the new city?

"How do I know, I'll follow you wherever you go anyway. ”

Yaoyao said: "You can rest assured, no one will know how this researcher died, you can go wherever you lived before." Since you are a student...... There should be a temporary place to live for the group, right?"

Su Hao glanced at the traces of the fire on the ground and nodded.

Now he finally understood what he had done.

Track down the Research Officer, kill the Research Officer, and burn the Research Officer's body...... He and Yaoyao have joined hands to do these things, and if the group knows about it, it will definitely not end well.

Fortunately, the medicine was very simple and burned the research officer's body.

Moreover, the young research officer who ran away didn't know what Su Hao looked like.

The other party only knows that he is a student, that he is a monster.

In the new city, murder and arson happen from time to time, because the mist is thick, as long as it is well hidden, even the strongest investigator of the group will not be able to find the murderer.

After all, after the fog fell, the electricity disappeared strangely, and the previous fingerprints, DNA verification, and other means were all unusable.

In other words, Su Hao's original life can continue for the time being.

The "monster" disappeared, and if he wanted to live and find answers to some things, he could only rely on his true strength.

School, after all, is the best choice for him to improve his strength now.

"What about you?"

Su Hao glanced at the little girl.

He has the identity of a student, but what is the identity of Yaoyao?

"If I escaped from the institute, they will definitely keep looking for me...... But don't worry, I have my own means of concealment, and it won't affect you. ”

Said Yaoyao.

It's amazing, I was able to escape from the group's research institute.

Su Hao glanced at the little girl again.

He had a lot of questions to ask her, but it was impossible to stay at the scene of the crime, so he got up and put on the khaki coat, turned around and left first.

Yao Yao followed him, not leaving an inch.

It can be seen that Yao Yao seems to be quite curious about the outside world, and keeps looking around, but due to the existence of the fog, she can only see the scene within ten meters at most.

"I wonder how long she's been locked up in the institute?"

Su Hao thought to himself.

Maybe he just escaped, there was nowhere to go, and there were no familiar people, so Yaoyao chose to go home with him.

The current Su Hao is no longer a normal human being.

So he didn't refuse the medicine.

You should know a lot of things from the research institute, right?

Su Hao thought like this while bringing the little girl home.

It seemed like an upscale neighborhood before the fog fell, but now it has been transformed into a solid neighborhood by the Collective, with steel gates on every building, closed every night to keep out the attacks of mutated creatures.

On each steel gate, there are countless nicks and claw marks, which have been left by countless mutated creatures in the past ten years.

During the day, the steel gates are open.

Su Hao stepped into the building first, followed by Yaoyao, and no one saw them.

Second room on the third floor.

Su Hao took out the key and opened the door, but Yao Yao slipped in first.

I don't know why she's in such a hurry......

Su Hao didn't care, and closed the door when he stepped into the house.

"How's your relationship with your neighbor?"

After Yaoyao entered the house, he first observed it, and then asked without looking back.

Su Hao was stunned: "It's not bad." ”

He thought of Zuo Sisi.

Zuo Sisi's family is his neighbor.

"Then you can deal with it first. I'll find something to eat first. ”

As he spoke, he found the kitchen, and with a puff of smoke entered, disappearing into the mist.

Cope?

Su Hao was wondering what her words meant, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, which made his heart tighten.

Did anyone notice that he was back?

......

When he opened the door, he saw Zuo Sisi's father, an uncle with a beard, Zuo Qiuyun.

When Zuo Qiuyun saw Su Hao, he immediately looked enthusiastic and embarrassed: "Xiao Su, thank you so much for saving our family Sisi this time." I heard that you were hospitalized, and my mother and I also went to see you, but unfortunately you have been unconscious. Now you've been discharged from the hospital and you're recovering?"

Su Hao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good not to be an investigator......

He glanced at his hands.

His hands were charred when he was burned by the researcher, but now they are intact, even whiter than before.

"Oh, it's okay, Uncle Zuo. ”

Su Hao replied absentmindedly.

"That's good, that's good. ”

Zuo Qiuyun laughed, and then sighed: "Alas, I don't know what Sisi thinks about her, this girl has grown up, and she really can't control it." ”

"What's wrong with her?"

Su Hao asked.

"Pack up your things and go. ”

Zuo Qiuyun seemed to be ten years old: "I went to the group area." ”

Su Hao was not surprised.

Because when he was in the hospital yesterday evening, Yu Yinghao told him about this, since he followed Xiang Jinhai, he must have lived in the group area.

In contrast, the residence in the group area is more luxurious and safer, and it seems that there are special people to take care of and serve, and even the fusion of mist ions has the guidance of a master.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Su Hao shook his head.

In fact, he should be very angry about Zuo Sisi's choice, but he has experienced too many things recently, so he can't get angry when he wants to, but is a little downplayed.

"This is made by Sisima, you just came back from the hospital, you must not have time to get food, just eat first, let's make another big meal in the evening, you come and eat!"

Zuo Qiuyun said as he enthusiastically handed over a piece of food.

This is a bowl of fried white fern.

In the new city, white fern is a common ingredient and can be found everywhere.

This is the first form of the white fern, which is not aggressive, but very nutritious, and it also fuses a certain amount of mist ions, which is very good for the body when eaten for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Hao was a little embarrassed.

He remembered that there was a little girl in the house looking for food, so he asked, "I seem to be hungry, this bowl may not be enough to eat......"

"That's no problem, I'll let Sisi's mother make another bowl, haha!"

With apologies and gratitude to Su Hao, Zuo Qiuyun did not hesitate, but smiled heartily.

He had wanted to comfort the boy.

It's a pity that Su Hao doesn't seem to have any problems, and he doesn't have any resentment about Zuo Sisi's choice.

Zuo Qiuyun was also relieved.

......

Standard 3 bedrooms and 2 living rooms, 160 square meters.

The temporary accommodation assigned to Su Hao is definitely not bad, but because the electricity has disappeared, many things are no longer usable.

For example, electric lights.

Of course, even if something like electric light can be used, no one dares to use it at night, because the light will attract a lot of mutated creatures, purely looking for death.

In some special places, there are lamps made of fog ions, but it is impossible for civilian use.

In fact, many things that would have used electricity can now be replaced with fog ions, but there are some things that don't need to be represented, such as cars - roads are blocked, fog is everywhere, and even if the car can still start, it is not practical.

The supply of many daily necessities is also in the hands of the group, such as the mist ion stove.

Each family can only get one, and if it is broken, it can be replaced, but not a second one.

On the dining table, there are two bowls of fried white fern.

Su Hao is really hungry.

But he couldn't eat two bowls by himself, and one bowl was for the little girl.

The two sat opposite each other at the table.

"Is this thing delicious?"

The medicine stared at the white kelp-like plant in the bowl.

"It's not tasty. Anything you eat at the institute should be much better than this. ”

Su Hao told the truth.

The medicine picked up a white fern, took a bite, and then cried with a sad face: "It's true." ”

"What do you eat at the institute?"

Su Hao asked while eating.

He was used to the taste of fried white fern, which was a little astringent and bitter, and it was really hard to swallow, but for civilians, white fern was both nutritious and common, and there were few other substitutes for such ingredients in the new city.

"Mutant plants, mutated animalsβ€”but they're all tastier than this white fern. ”

The medicine replied.

"Those researchers still know how to enjoy it. ”

After a while, she added.

"It's the people of the group who know how to enjoy it, not just the research officer. ”

Su Hao corrected, then looked at the little girl and asked, "Then again, why are they studying you? Are you also a monster?"

When the little girl heard this, she immediately stopped swallowing.
