Chapter 69: Bold Speculation
Zhang Heng looked into the distance, pondered for a moment, and decided to leave the No. 7 residential building first.
"The state of the system seems to be very bad.,Even the content of the task was released and the food was closed.,But it's an urgent task.,Oops, it's so tangled......"
Zhang Heng walked down the fire escape, still chattering, like a broken-mouthed old woman, constantly entangled in the price of vegetables in the vegetable market today, complaining that the vendor did not give him a handful of shallots or something after the transaction was over.
However, Zhang Heng finally decided to go to the Wogou supermarket mentioned by the system to have a look, after all, although there is a time limit for urgent tasks, the rewards after the completion of the task are also quite rich.
"Yo, I almost forgot, and those eggs have to be dealt with......"
Zhang Heng patted his head, hurriedly turned around and walked upstairs, his way of walking was not tiptoeing like Lu Yu and the others, but rushed upstairs.
It's like an ordinary young man living in a peaceful era, suddenly remembering that he left his key at home, and is in a hurry to go back to get it.
I don't worry about the movement that will attract the attention of zombies or other monsters.
In between breaths, Zhang Heng had already run back to the 13th floor, but he did not linger in front of the giant spider corpse, but jumped and stepped directly on the corpse, running towards the 14th floor.
As Zhang Heng continued to rise, the cobwebs on the surrounding walls became more and more dense, and by the time he reached the 14th floor platform, the density of cobwebs had reached a terrifying level.
Seemingly oblivious to the changes in his surroundings, he twisted his body lightly and slipped through the fire gate on the 14th floor to the corner of the suspended corridor.
Normally, when someone steps around a corner, a voice-activated light will turn on in time to dispel the darkness around the corner.
But now after the catastrophe broke out, the city's power supply has been paralyzed, and the lighting in the corridors is all based on the sunlight outside the window.
As Zhang Heng walked forward, a rotor buzzing sound like a mosquito gradually sounded from his left arm, and it didn't take long for a soft white light to shine out from his palm, illuminating the darkness ahead of him.
As far as the white light could reach, clusters of closely packed spider eggs appeared, each the size of an adult's fist, pale yellow in color, distributed in the deepest part of the corner.
And near Zhang Heng's feet, several eggs have hatched, and the little spiders inside have long been gone, leaving only some bloodshot mucus, exuding an inexplicable fishy smell.
The spider eggs in the corner trembled slightly after being swept away by the light, as if they could already feel the changes in the outside world.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.
"The incubation cycle is so short, it looks like we need to deal with it quickly, otherwise it won't be good if it hatches."
As he spoke, the white light in the palm of the mechanical hand dimmed and turned into a faint green glow.
Next, Zhang Heng was like a little girl picking mushrooms, squatting on the ground and "touching" the spider eggs one by one.
All the spider eggs that were touched by his mechanical left arm trembled violently, and a large number of cyan light particles poured out of them, and they all burrowed into the gaps of the mechanical arm like milk swallows returning to their nests.
However, the absorption process of each spider egg is not long, it only lasts for about five seconds, and the cyan light particles are absorbed, and the spider eggs under the palm of the hand have become gray and shriveled, without a trace of life.
"Finally absorbed the source of life essence, there are 5 squares, not bad, I don't know if there are any leaks?"
In the darkness, a soft white light lit up again, Zhang Heng checked the spider eggs on the ground back and forth, and carefully rummaged through them to make sure that there were no missing spider eggs, patted the dust that did not exist on his hands, and turned around and walked downstairs......
On the other end, Lu Yu and the others had already gone down to the entrance of the parking lot below, just turned on the flashlight, and were about to go back to their downstairs through the underground parking lot.
The reason why everyone didn't choose to go back from the ground when Lu Yu came was because of the penetrating wound on Ma Long's leg.
Although the spider's leg temporarily blocked the wound and there was no large amount of blood flowing out, Lu Yu didn't dare to bet on whether the zombie's sense of smell was sensitive enough to smell the sporadic smell of blood in the air.
For Lu Yu's caution, everyone naturally has no opinion, there are three wounded in the team, if something happens on the way back, it will be a catastrophe for them.
When Xiao Ran picked up the key placed by the door and successfully opened the fire door, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed in.
Everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they enter this residential building, it is equivalent to stepping into a safe zone, and as long as there are no particularly fierce zombies or monsters, their safety is still guaranteed.
After watching Xiao Ran lock the fire door at the entrance of the basement, Lu Yu put down Ma Long on his back and ran up the stairs in one go.
In the process of going upstairs, Lu Yu also specially reminded Uncle Ni, who was waiting on the first floor, and informed the other party that everyone had returned safely.
He who carried Ma Long down from the upstairs just now, his physical strength was exhausted at this time, and the purpose of going upstairs was just to call Yan Yanben down and let him help out.
And Zhang Ning didn't seem to feel how tired he was, and seeing that Xiao Ran had plans to stay where he was, he said hello to Ma Long and carried Zhang Jike upstairs first.
Xu Xiaoxiao saw that everyone had gone upstairs, and he also covered his head and followed, although this girl's actions were not affected much, but after all, there was a color on her head, so she still had to go upstairs to disinfect it.
For a while, only Xiao Ran and Ma Long were left at the entrance of the basement.
Both of them were silent, staring at each other with big eyes, and finally it was Malone who couldn't resist the embarrassing atmosphere and took the lead in provoking the conversation.
"That, Xiao Ran, before Lu Yu said that you were also infected by the virus, and then recovered, is this true?"
The little girl nodded calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in her eyes.
Ma Long opened his mouth, and when he saw that Xiao Ran didn't mean to answer, he smiled helplessly.
In fact, he was not familiar with the process of the virus infecting the human body and then healing itself, and the reason why he knew this information was only that he was temporarily told by his superiors before he left the mission.
In addition to a lot of information about zombies, the rest is a description of survivors like Xiao Ran who have been infected by immune viruses.
In the information obtained by Ma Long, Xiao Ran, an infected person who has been infected by the virus and has successfully recovered and has not become a zombie, is collectively referred to as the enhancer.
As for the description of the enhancers, the information only informs that these healed infected people will gain strength after waking up from a coma, or a significant increase in intelligence, and they can even open mountains and cracks like supermen with special physiques, and they can see everything like a detective.
"Xiao Ran's words should be an enhancer who has greatly improved his intelligence......
Marlon thought secretly in his heart.
"Xu Xiaoxiao, that girl, I said why the muscles are so developed, I thought it was King Kong Barbie, it turned out that she was also a booster who survived the virus infection, it seems that it must be a significant increase in strength......
"If I get infected, I don't know if I'll survive the virus......"
Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a rush of footsteps overhead.
Ma Long looked up and saw Lu Yu and Yan Yan Ben running down one after another.
Seeing the shocking wound on Ma Long's leg, Yan Yan Ben couldn't help but gasp, but under Lu Yu's urging, he still quickly carried Ma Long on his back and walked quickly upstairs.
And Lu Yu came to Xiao Ran's face, touched Xiao Loli's head with relief, and took her hand and stepped on the stairs together.
The two did not trot upstairs like Yan Yanben, but walked slowly step by step, Lu Yu wanted to say something, but seeing the contemplative look of the little Lori beside him, he did not interrupt rashly, but just walked slowly with her.
"You say, who saved Zhang Ning and them?"
Little Lori's brows were furrowed, and her delicate little face was full of doubt.
"Huh? Probably the guy who informed me on the radio that I was going to save them......"
Lu Yu took a deep breath, and a trace of speculation flashed through his mind.
But this speculation was so bizarre that the moment it appeared, Lu Yu directly denied it.
"But why did he do that?"
Xiao Ran didn't seem to notice the change in the expression on Lu Yu's face, and continued to ask.
"Perhaps? Is it to protect Zhang Ning and them? ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said his judgment.
"But the message on the radio is for you to save it, not for Yan Yanben to save it? You must know that you were injured before, and Yan Yanben didn't have anything to do. ”
Xiao Ran looked straight into Lu Yu's eyes and continued.
"It shows that the person who saved Zhang Ning doesn't know Yan Gengben, but knows you!"
"He knows that when you hear the news, he will definitely believe the authenticity of the content and go to the rescue."
Lu Yu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it so carefully, he just thought that the radio might just call a random name and ask them to send someone to the rescue.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yu raised his mouth slightly, and asked with some uncertainty.
"I speculate that the unsung hero who saved Zhang Ning and others, and the person who sent you a distress signal on the radio, should be Zhang Heng."
"But how did he know that Zhang Ning and they were in danger, and how did he know that my wounds had healed? Could it be that he ......"
When Lu Yu said this, the whole person couldn't help but tremble, recalling the scene when Zhang Heng communicated with him.
'Actually, I'm a time-traveler'
"Is it possible for him to be a traverser? That's why he knows so clearly what we're going to do? ”
Lu Yu muttered, finally confirming the most unrealistic guess.
"At the moment, this judgment is the most correct."
Xiao Ran raised her eyebrows, and quickly accepted the result of this speculation.
"The question is, how did he know these details when he wasn't involved in our operations at all?"
Lu Yu said quickly, constantly comparing the looks of everyone and Zhang Heng in his mind.
"Long hair, oblique bangs, eyebrows like a sword, and a black mole in the center of the eyebrows......"
But after a round of comparison, Lu Yu was frustrated to find that none of the people in the team looked similar to Zhang Heng, that is to say, Zhang Heng should not be a member of their team and traveled from the distant future to protect them.
"Wait......"
Lu Yu suddenly stopped, stood in place and exclaimed, in his mind, the appearance when Zhang Ning winked at him suddenly flashed.
Zhang Heng's eyes seem to be exactly the same as Zhang Ning's! It's all peach blossom eyes! ”
