Chapter 360: To Each According to His Needs (3)
Passing through the long alleyway, the two quickly ran to the square in the center of the town.
Strange to say, when the two of them stepped on the stone slabs of the central square, the tremors not far away suddenly intensified, and the buildings made of gray-yellow sand particles crumbled.
Under the moonlight, the north of Yunlong Town once again appeared a strange scene of a flat river.
"Survived ......"
Wu Qi stared at the scene not far away in a daze, and struggled to take off the gas mask on his face.
"Look, listen to me, if we run out later, we'll both have to be buried......"
Yin Jian sat on the ground, breathing heavily in the dusty air.
At this moment, he didn't care whether he should maintain the majesty of the captain, and it was the greatest luck to survive.
"Boss, how did you rescue Sister Yang? And how can this poetic hotel collapse and collapse? What the hell happened in the Growth Zone? ”
Finally catching his breath, Wu Qi threw three questions at Yin Jian in a row.
I don't know if it's because I'm anxious to know the answer, or if Wu Qi's temperament has changed, in short, he doesn't have the restrained appearance he used to have at this moment.
Whether it is from the tone or from the attitude of inquiry, it has become a little arrogant.
"You kid...... Hehe......"
Facing Wu Qi, whose attitude changed greatly, Yin Jian not only did not get angry, but laughed happily.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to you slowly."
After sorting out the dust on his body, Yin Jian chose a suitable position for himself, and took out a small iron box from the pocket on his chest.
Skillfully opened the tin box, which contained several white cigarettes.
Yin Jian didn't care if there were still stains on his hands, he directly picked one up, stuffed it in his mouth, and then took out a thumb-sized cigarette lighter from the cigarette case and lit the cigarette.
After taking a deep breath of cigarette, the fatigue on Yin Jian's face eased, and as the smoke slowly exhaled from his mouth, he also began to speak.
"I won't talk about Maozi's situation first, when I was on the first floor, I noticed that something was wrong with him, but his condition was not serious at that time, and I was anxious to find the sheep scorpion as soon as possible, so it didn't break."
"Later, I met Wang Jue and learned some of the information, so I had a general understanding of the overall situation."
"Although we don't know the real reason for the loss of control of the test subject, considering that Wang Jue, a C+-class personnel, was able to survive safely underground, I have come up with two hypotheses."
"Speculation one, the experimental subject under the Poetic Hotel may not really be out of control, it just killed all the experimenters in the station, and to some extent it is still under Wang Jue's control."
"Speculation two, the experimental subject under the poetic hotel is completely out of control, Wang Jue has long since died, what exists in front of us is just a certain product of the experimental subject, it may be a hallucination, or it may be a parasite, but it is not Wang Jue who controls the overall situation, but the runaway experimental subject who does not see the real body."
After saying this in one breath, Yin Jianyou took a hard puff of cigarette.
The red light of the cigarette butt turned from dark to bright, and the tobacco in it burned rapidly in the night, making a burning sound.
"Judging from Wang Jue's reaction before, I feel that the first one is more likely, after all, she can detect our strength, and she is also an ability, but she doesn't know how many levels."
After listening to Yin Jian's speculation, Wu Qi also calmed down and added.
"If the speculation is true, then according to the information I know, Wang Jue should be a first-order ability of the physical enhancement system, I can feel it."

Thorn said lightly, and took another puff of the cigarette in his hand.
"But one thing is very strange, since Wang Jue and I belong to the same physical strengthening system, why is her athletic ability so poor, her running speed can't even catch up with ordinary people, and she still needs me to carry it when going back and forth to the egg breeding area."
"Probably not a physical reinforcement ......"
Wu Qi added, but then he seemed to think of something, and his face stopped talking.
"If it's not a person with the ability of the same lineage, how can she sense our situation, even if her ability is special and can sense, a few of us shouldn't be able to sense her strength level."
"If this doesn't make sense, then only speculation is left to speculate on the second possibility, could it be that Wang Jue is some kind of product of the experimental subject? Or is it our hallucination? Parasites? ”
Although Wu Qi's temperament became a little arrogant, his brain was still easy to use, and he quickly kept up with Yin Jian's train of thought.
"That's right, I personally think it's more likely to be the second speculation, if Wang Jue is not a real enhancer, then a series of things that happened underground can find a reasonable explanation."
"Boss, you mean, Wang Jue is not actually human? Is it some kind of product of the test subject? What really controls everything is actually the mission goal we want to investigate, the shield claw? ”
"Yes, just like the worm on Maozi's body, maybe Wang Jue has been controlled by parasitism, or maybe she is simply an illusion in our brains."
Speaking of this, there was a trace of hesitation on Yin Jian's firm face, he didn't know the truth of the matter, everything was based on speculation, and the real information given to them was too little.
However, the doubts on Wu Qi's face were obviously more than that, although he could understand Yin Jian's statement, his overall understanding of the incident was still not comprehensive enough.
"Let's answer your first question first, how did I get the sheep scorpion out?"
Pointing to Yang Xiu who was lying on the ground, Yin Jian's face showed a hint of relief.
"At that time, in the growth area, because I sensed that something was wrong with the shadows, and neither you nor Maozi had the ability to see in the dark, so I made the decision to search separately and let the two of you wait for me at the entrance first."
"The insect tide composed of those 'failed products' can devour the light and cover the original appearance of the cave wall, and it stands to reason that in such an environment, it is impossible for me to find any trace of the sheep scorpion."
"But the sheep and scorpion just appeared, hanging so obviously in a corner of the cave wall, and although there were surging shadows around her, those 'losers' didn't seem to be interested in her at all, and they didn't even bother to get closer."
"At that time, due to the approaching insect tide, and the situation that something was wrong with Maozi was getting worse, I didn't explain it to you, I just wanted to rescue Yang Xiu as soon as possible, and the rest would wait until I got out of the growth area."
"The reason why I turned off the flashlight at that time was because of the possibility that the insect tide was attracted by the light, after all, we were all sprayed with an isolatant, so we shouldn't be detected."
"Phototaxis...... It's really possible......"
Wu Qi nodded and agreed with what Yin Jian said.
"I was worried that I would be spotted by the strange insects when I got close to the insect tide, but it turned out to be very smooth."
"The bugs didn't seem to feel my presence, and some even avoided me, which quickly brought me close to the scorpion and brought her back."
"But as soon as I came back, I found that you stabbed Maozi in the shoulder."
Speaking of this, a touch of helplessness appeared on Yin Jian's face.
"Although your temptation was clever and the results proved that your approach was completely correct, in an environment like the growth zone, it is too impulsive to rush into your own teammates."

Although there was blame in Yin Jian's tone, he was more worried about it.
"Allowing hidden dangers to grow around you and ignoring them is the root cause of danger......
Wu Qi had disbelief on his face, and retorted with a tough attitude.
He would never have done such a thing before.
"Alas...... It seems that you are really about to wake up, but it is really a matter of heart. ”
Yin Jian looked at Wu Qi with a hostile face, and a happy smile appeared on his face again, and he didn't respond to whether the other party's words were correct, but just nodded lightly.
"What?!"
Hearing Yin Jian's words, Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed the changes in his body.
"It's okay, this is normal, pay attention to control your emotions, don't be carried away by arrogant feelings, and when you get through this period, you will be able to adapt."
Yin Jian didn't say anything more, as if sensing the burning sensation of his fingertips, Yin Jian pressed the burned cigarette butt to the ground and snuffed it out.
Then he took one out of the cigarette case, lit it and smoked it.
The two of them sat quietly like this, Wu Qi seemed to be ashamed of his attitude just now, while Yin Jian seemed to want to seize this moment of tranquility to recover his strength.
It wasn't until the second cigarette was finished that Yin Jianfang continued to speak.
"I know that there is something wrong with Maozi's state, and the reason why he has not broken it is because his condition has not affected our actions."
"Let me ask you, do you know the bugs on Maozi's body?"
Yin Thorn's mouse eyes flashed, and his gentle voice became sharp.
"Before we know enough information, it is very likely that we will harm Maozi's life, our team has already lost Lao Xia, and we can't lose Maozi anymore."
"I got the boss......"
In the face of Yin Jian's sterns, Wu Qi did not refute this time, but only responded in a low voice.
Although he still had dissatisfaction in his heart, when he realized that this was a side effect of the secondary virus strengthening his body, he began to consciously control his emotions.
"Hmm."
Yin Jian nodded and took another puff of his cigarette.
"Then why don't you kill that bug, I feel that if that bug had been fruited at that time, maybe the underground space of the Poetic Hotel would not have collapsed."
Although Wu Qi had already understood Yin Thorn's intentions, he still had a problem with letting go of the strange insects, no, he seized the time to rest now and continued to ask.
"Or start from the initial logic and sort it out, if the existence that controls the overall situation is not Wang Jue, but the shield that does not see the real body, then after we enter the poetic hotel, are we completely exposed to the other party's field of vision?"
"Since the organization has given the information that 'the isolator can work', it stands to reason that Yang Xiu, who sprayed the isolator, should not be caught."
"Judging from our subsequent experience, it seems that the only point where the isolatant comes into play is when it encounters mutant creature No. 42 in the breeding area and rescues the sheep scorpion in the growth area."
"And Brother Mao was also stained with a bug called 'Failed Product'......"
Following Yin Jian's train of thought, Wu Qi added in a low voice.
"Yes, did you find any contradictions?"
Thick smoke spat out from Yin Thorn's mouth, and the second smoke burned to the end.
"The information given by the organization does not match what we are actually experiencing...... Barrier agents don't have a shielding effect? ”
Wu Qi muttered, giving his own conclusion with doubts......
