Borderlands: Death Examination Room Chapter 62: The Heights of Doom (3)
In order to reduce the bumps in the road, Cheng Sikong deliberately summoned an "original space" to carry the wounded.
Because the air composition in the "original space" is independent of the outside world, Cheng Jing, Lu Ting, and Jiang Ruzhou's condition has recovered somewhat, and although the inducer that has been inhaled is still causing effects, it is a good thing that it has not continued to deteriorate.
Lu Ting got up, checked Zhu Xinyue's condition, and shook his head at Shu Yungui with a heavy face.
"The reaction of the melter to human blood is far greater than I had estimated."
Lu Ting motioned for Shu Yungui to feed Zhu Xinyue more water to reduce the concentration of melter in the blood.
"If she continues at this rate, she will only be able to hold on for another six hours at most."
Cheng Sikong glanced at the communicator, it would take them at least six hours to march to the Curse Heights, and if that side had already been occupied by other teams, the time it would take to storm the heights was incalculable.
Shu Yungui helped Zhu Xinyue and carefully fed her some water, Zhu Xinyue's eyelids moved, and she reluctantly opened a slit.
Since the meltdown agent only acted on the human body's control center, all Zhu Xinyue's consciousness had always been awake, and she shook her head with great effort and moved her mouth away from the kettle.
In fact, Zhu Xinyue heard what they said, and her thinking was still very clear, and she understood how difficult it was to capture a new landmark in six hours.
What's more, now the combat effectiveness of the entire team is only Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong.
"Lu Ting said you need to drink some water."
Shu Yungui approached the kettle and comforted her: "It's okay, Cheng Sikong's 'original space' flies faster than walking, and we will soon be able to reach the Curse Heights." β
Zhu Xinyue naturally would not be deceived by his white lies, she was also a person who had seen the "original space" many times, and naturally knew that the heavier the mass carried in the space, the slower the space would move.
Although none of the six people in the team are big fat, they add up to a lot of weight, even if Cheng Sikong seems to be easy to move with them, it also takes a lot of abnormal energy to maintain the "original space" for a long time.
They will have to attack the Cursed Heights later, how can they waste too much on the road?
Zhu Xinyue's breathing was difficult and her breath was weak, she gently grabbed Shu Yungui's sleeve and said to Shu Yungui in an almost inaudible voice, "Put me down." β
Shu Yungui was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant.
"It's too bumpy in the space, I can't go to the Cursed Heights with you......"
This is obviously lying, all the settings in the space are set by Cheng Sikong according to the most suitable values for human rest, and there is no sense of bump at all.
"The CGP exam is so difficult, it's not realistic for a team to survive, you don't have to feel guilty, since you choose to take the exam, we have all signed the life and death ......"
Zhu Xinyue gasped vigorously and said, "You put me in a place where you can see the Cursed Heights, I want to see you reach the top with my own eyes, I want to see you enter the safe house, I want to witness your victory." β
Shu Yungui put away the kettle, sat next to Zhu Xinyue and said, "You know that no matter how much you say, I won't be able to throw you down alone, so it's better to rest and rest more, and hold on until all of us reach the top of the Curse Heights and participate in our victory together." β
"The people of your command line...... Aren't they all very good at stirring people's hearts? β
Zhu Xinyue closed her eyes, her body was a little unable to sit still, and she tilted to the side, Shu Yungui stretched out his hand against her shoulder and held her steadily.
"Empty words can't cure the disease, don't bring me with you, so everyone can't pass the exam."
Shu Yungui looked at her calmly and said leisurely: "It seems that you think you must die?" β
Zhu Xinyue nodded: "You don't lie to me, the medicine is in front, don't I know you yet?" Wangmei's trick to quench her thirst was to make me hold on for a few more minutes. β
Shu Yungui smiled, wanting to remind her that idioms were not used indiscriminately like this.
But on second thought, it doesn't seem to be a mistake.
"Okay, then I won't motivate you, since you think you're going to die, we can always talk before we die, right?"
Zhu Xinyue's eyes opened a little more and asked him, "What are you talking about?" β
Shu Yungui put one hand on her shoulder, the other hand on his chin, and said, "Let's talk about your last wishes." β
As soon as these words came out, the other four people in the space all looked over to this side.
Talking about a last wish in front of a dying person is not impossible, but it is somewhat inhumane.
No matter how strong Zhu Xinyue is, she is a girl after all, as soon as she hears the word "last wish", her nose is sour, and her eyes are red.
"I ...... My dad didn't know I was going to take the CGP exam, so don't tell him, just ...... Let's just say that I was injured at work......"
Shu Yungui nodded, looking very serious, as if he had really carefully written down Zhu Xinyue's last wishes.
"Anything else?"
Zhu Xinyue's eyes turned even redder: "I, there is a big red maple tree in the yard where I lived when I was a child, it is very beautiful in autumn, I always say that I want to dig it up to my current home, if you have time, go and help me dig it......"
Shu Yun replied and asked her, "Is there anything else?" β
Zhu Xinyue sobbed: "I want to ...... Can't think of ......"
"If you can't think of it, let's say so much first, and then talk about the rest slowly."
Shu Yungui stood up, stretched his crumpled trouser leg, and said, "I can help you dig the tree, as for taking the CGP exam, you should go and tell Principal Zhu yourself, I'm afraid that he will be angry and I won't want to graduate in my life." β
Zhu Xinyue let out a cry, but Shu Yungui laughed: "What are you crying about, when we go back, Principal Zhu will only have to cry when he knows that you secretly took the CGP exam and beat you all over the street." β
Murderous and heart-wrenching, even Lu Ting couldn't listen to it anymore, and when he was trying to educate his cousin on how to talk to the little girl, the "original space" suddenly stopped.
It turned out that when Shu Yungui diverted Zhu Xinyue's attention, Cheng Sikong quietly accelerated the speed of spatial movement, compressing the six-hour journey to dozens of minutes.
Spatial abilities are instantaneous, and the role of "original space" is originally to capture, imprison enemies, or use them for temporary evasion, rather than being used as a means of transportation for a long time.
has been maintaining the space without disappearing, which did consume a lot of Cheng Sikong's mutation ability, but for the sake of speed and safety, he did not collect the space until the foot of the Cursed Heights.
The wind full of inducers in the examination room hit again, and Lu Ting fell to his knees with a "poof", clutching his throat and retching a few times.
Seeing this, Cheng Sikong wanted to summon the space again to protect them, but Cheng Jing pushed him and said with a painful face: "Go get the medicine first!" β
On the communicator map, the coordinates of the potion replenishment point in the Cursed Heights are halfway up the mountain, and the safe house is on the top of the high ground.
In this way, Shu Yun's route to them must first go halfway up the mountain to get medicine, then come back to treat Zhu Xinyue, and then take everyone to the safe house together.
The most dangerous thing is that during the period of return, all the teams that rushed to the high ground to storm the high ground may pose a threat to Zhu Xinyue's life.
Shu Yungui first asked Cheng Sikong to stay here and protect everyone with the "original space".
But Cheng Sikong understands that his mutation energy consumption is too much, and the second-order mutation ability consumes even more mutation energy, even if he summons the space again, he can't last long, so it's better to go with Shu Yungui to replenish the potion, maybe he can also help him drag the enemy on the road and save time.
No longer staying longer, Shu Yungui placed the four team members in a hidden position, and he and Cheng Sikong rushed to the potion replenishment point together.
In order to compress the journey time to the shortest, Shu Yungui kept using "coordinate rewriting" along the way, and rewrote the two of them to the end of his sight every time.
However, the vegetation in the Cursed Heights is lush, and Shu Yungui can't see far at a glance, which also causes the "coordinate rewriting" to move not much distance every time.
"Don't abuse the ability of mutation like this!"
Cheng Sikong reminded him: "Just run over this point, it's too cost-effective to use the mutation ability." β
But Shu Yungui just wanted to find the life-saving potion as soon as possible, regardless of the rapid consumption of his mutation ability, he also insisted on constantly turning on the "coordinate rewriting", and quickly teleported the two to the door of the potion replenishment point.
He didn't know how many times he had used the mutation ability along the way, and it was indeed a time saver to do so, Shu Yungui wiped the sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead and reached out to push the door.
The door was very heavy, Shu Yungui pushed it with his shoulder, and the door slowly opened a crack, and from the gap less than a finger wide, a bullet came head-on!
The ballistic design is accurate, and Shu Yungui is almost unavoidable.
At the last moment, Cheng Sikong waved his hand to rewrite Shu Yungui to his side, and the bullet hit the air far away on the trunk of the tree, exploding a hole in the bowl.
Among all the candidates who took the CGP exam, the only person who could have this ability to accurately design ballistics was Lake the Vicious Dog!
But how did he escape the attack of his malignant teammates and still reach the potion replenishment point before Shu Yungui and them?
You must know that Cheng Sikong has made the "original space" fly very fast.
Confirming that there was an enemy in the potion replenishment point, Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong raised their guns, Shu Yungui walked in front, Cheng Sikong was behind, and the two of them approached the door again with light hands and feet.
Using "As I say", Cheng Sikong determined that there was more than one mutant in the room, but he didn't know if the wick team still survived, or if other team members had changed.
Without giving the people inside time to react, Shu Yungui made a surprise gesture to Cheng Sikong with his back hand, and kicked the door open with a slam!
Cheng Sikong cooperated tacitly, and fired at the moment when the door bounced open, the ZX-166 flash gun fired at an amazing rate, and the potion bottles in the house exploded one after another, and Lake, who was preparing for the attack, was thrown to the ground by his subordinates, and then a series of bullets hit the place where they had stood.
"Stand up with your head in your hands!"
Cheng Sikong held the gun and said sharply: "Lake, your road has come to an end today!" β
In the messy room, a hand slowly reached out from behind the medicine cabinet, and then the vicious dog Ryker slowly stood up.
His eyes stared at Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui like mad dogs, as if he saw two pieces of fragrant fresh meat.
"Who's the end of the road, you say?"
He raised his other hand, and his five fingers clasped a thin pill box, on which were written in block letters several large black charactersβ
"Melted liquid globulin coagulation needle."
