There is hardly any life in the border city.

With the invasion of mutant monsters, the seemingly lifelike desert is also spreading towards the city.

Jing Shu stayed in several large districts on the edge of the 15th Eastern District for nearly a month.

Hunters sent by the Central City of the Laboratory came in batches.

Almost all lives were killed in these battles.

It was like a city in the last days, with collapsed walls and sunken ground, and mountains of corpses.

The rancid smell and the pervasive smoke of gunpowder dust and the pervasive smell of blood were as disgusting as the unbearable flies that surrounded them.

Gunshots rang out.

A monster with a human appearance fell to the ground.

The girl in the black trench coat skillfully unbuttoned its coat, took out a pack of unfinished cigarettes from the pocket of her clothes, opened the box and took out one, lit it through the building next to it, put it in her mouth, and stuffed the rest into her own clothes by the way.

Jing Shu lifted his steps and continued to walk forward.

Running back and forth in these large areas occupied by monsters, a month's time, in fact, can't completely clean up those monsters.

Even though the city has been locked down, there's a Zero Eight on the Order's side.

This is enough to catch the lab off guard.

Over the course of a month, the Gang used this ability to infect other cities and regions in the East with the Zero-6 virus.

The demand for hunters gradually increased, and many genetically superior humans were injected with boosters, allowing them to enter the hunter unit and rush to the front line as cannon fodder.

Jingshu once wondered why the laboratory would cultivate so many ordinary hunters, and in the face of a stronger enemy, they couldn't do anything but die.

Until a day ago.

She finally understood.

- The real role of the hunters.

Before leaving, Ling Qi handed her a miniature communication, a miniature device that could not even be seen by the naked eye, attached to Jingshu's ear canal, and kept in touch.

The boy explained his recent situation and exchanged information with Jingshu back and forth.

One of the most important points is-

Ling Qi found a chip in the neck of a hunter's corpse.

With a single glance, the boy recognized that the chip was exactly the same as the one they had in their necks.

Almost all of the test subjects thought it was for capture and positioning, but hunters didn't need any positioning and capture, so why would they plant such a thing?

So after soaking in the research room for three consecutive days, Ling Qi finally figured out the true function of the chip-

In fact, hunters are not used as troops, they are merely nutrients.

Like the experimental subject, it is the existence of nutrients for the gods.

Each hunter has a chip implanted in its body, and when the implanted person dies, the chip that absorbs all the nutrients will return all the absorbed materials to Zero One's body.

Because of this, the lab needs a lot of humans, they need believers, and they need believers who are willing to give themselves to the gods at all costs.

Go and offer to the supreme god on the throne.

The brainwashed fanatical believers have no idea what the future holds.

The test subject also had a chip in its neck, and at first Jing Shu thought it was just a tracking chip, but now she also understood that once the test subject died, the chip would squeeze out the test subject's body, transmit back nutrients, and enter Zero One's body.

It doesn't matter if it's a believer, or a hunter, or an experiment.

All the guys are just, food in the mouths of the earthly pythons.

For humanity to move towards a new era.

High-sounding reasons.

However, what was really satisfied was the disgusting faces of the laboratory executives and those joint district heads.

Jing Shu sneered, took the last puff of his cigarette, shook off the ashes, and looked into the distance.

The lab is not visible here.

But that's where the lab stands.

All the processes of development must be carried out in a strict manner and in an orderly and gradual manner.

It cannot be achieved overnight, it must not violate the law, it must not destroy human nature, and it must not disturb the world.

Even in the most ordinary human realm in the Three Courts world, it has to follow its own rules.

Change, whether forward or backward, all of them should not have a power beyond human beings.

The emergence of the laboratory has undoubtedly created the source of all tragedy.

It must be cut off at the root.

So now the question arises.

Jingshu looked at the sky.

Where does the technology that shouldn't come from?

*

"Doctor." A faint young voice came: "I haven't seen Shushu for a long time, when will she come back?" ”

The young man's voice sounded in the silent and empty hall, as smooth as a pool of windless spring water: "It's coming, she's coming back, please don't worry." ”

The white-haired young man slowly stood up from the throne, he touched his heart, and said, "That nutrient last time was a little strange. ”

"Really? Where is it strange? ”

Zero: "He gave me a familiar feeling, and after eating it, it seemed to have some kind of resonance with the falcon consciousness that he had swallowed before. ”

After the words fell, the young man paused for a few seconds and said, "Perhaps, the falcon has not been fully absorbed by you. ”

The golden vertical pupils suddenly looked at the electronic screen suspended next to him, and the young man's somewhat immature voice was dyed with a bit of coldness, "But Doctor, it's not that it's not completely absorbed, but—"

"I can't absorb it at all, not even a little."

Zero One stretched out his hand, his sharp nails revealing a cold glow, "This consciousness is incomplete, it repels me extremely much. ”

"Even the nutrients I ate not long ago were wrapped in consciousness and didn't let me absorb any of them."

High-quality genes, but they can't be used by him at all.

This annoyed the teenager.

The mood is getting worse and worse.

"What about the corpses of nutrients?" The boy asked.

"It's been dealt with."

"Check it out." Zero One: "Look at who else has existed around this nutrient." The people associated with it have their genes tested, and I suspect that he has a relationship with falcons. ”

Otherwise, the consciousness of the falcon would not resonate with it so strongly.

"It's annoying." The boy squinted slightly, "Falcon." ”

"The ghost is not gone."

*

Finally, I received a message to return.

Jing Shu jumped up excitedly and yelled - "Liberated!" Lao Tzu is finally liberated!! ”

She smiled and invited Ninety-Four and Forty-two and a group of hunter brothers to drink and smoke, "I'm going back to headquarters, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

Jing Shu had a cigarette in his mouth: "After staying in this place where birds don't for so long, my whole body is haggard, okay?" ”

Ninety-four said: "Congratulations to the special officer." ”

Jing Shu smiled: "Oh, don't say it if you're polite, I'm really happy to drink a few more bottles tonight, I'll loot from several surrounding cities, no, cough!" It's been a long time since I've been looking for these things! ”

Since the order to clear the city was issued by the flying saucer, there are basically no living people in these infected cities.

Even if there were survivors, they wouldn't survive.

The time to leave was the next morning, and in the evening in the camp of the building, Jingshu pulled them to drink until late.

Ninety-four was slightly drunk, but the man remained vigilant and kept his gun at his side.

Forty-two didn't drink, and looked cold.

This reminded Jing Shu of the thirteenth, to be honest, except for their figures and appearances, these two people sometimes behave almost exactly the same.

Looking at her cold face, Jing Shu suddenly blurted out, "Forty-two, do you believe in your gods?" ”

The girl nodded: "Of course." ”

"Even if it costs with your life?"

"Yes."

"Even if you're not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other person?"

“…… Yes. ”

"Even if you will become his nourishment after death, even if you die, you will have to squeeze out the last trace of your value?"

“…… Special Officer, speak carefully. ”

"Flutter." Jing Shu blushed and laughed: "Just kidding." ”

Undoubtedly, in exchange for a roll of the eyes of Number Forty-two, "Even if it is true as the Superior Prefect says, I will believe in my gods with all my might." ”

When the words fell, Jing Shu laughed enough, lying lazily on the sand, quietly looking at the sky, "Oh, that's it." ”

The city is smoky.

The incessant flames emitted black smoke that smoked the sky so much that nothing could be seen.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly said again: "It's late, let's rest." ”

Jing Shu closed his eyes directly on the sand, "Sleep, good night." ”

When all is calm again.

The burning bonfire gradually went out.

The girl who had gone to bed early in the morning opened her eyes in the darkness of the night.

She stood up, walked alone to the door of the camp, took out a piece of black iron from her pocket, threw it on the ground, and in an instant, the motorcycle appeared in front of her!

Jing Shu stepped on the motorcycle, glanced at the camp gate coldly, and didn't say anything, but when he left, he didn't close the iron gate that should have been locked.

And beyond the gate, there is a dense crowd of mutants that are constantly advancing towards the camp.

*

Western District 13.

After the union, the 13th district was completely handed over to the head of the 14th district.

The old man was signing various documents every day, his eyes were vicissitudes, his face was old, and his hair was gray.

Zero-Six's Virus Plug selected a number of humans who could be "companions" to the organization's experiments, gaining strength beyond normal human beings, retaining self-awareness, and not reacting to raw meat.

The people in the thirteen western districts are divided into three categories: "Strangers", "Ordinary People", and—"Monsters." ”

Before Zero Two died, he was in charge of all of this, and he was violent by nature, enjoying the thrill of trampling ordinary humans under his feet.

But after his death, all affairs were put in the hands of Zero Four.

The Joker's methods are as good as Zero Two.

He has completely turned the 13th District into a paradise for the organization.

If someone enters the 13th Western Region at this time, they will find that as early as a month ago, many areas in the western part of the country have become places where mutant monsters roam.

And these monsters are not the original brainless monsters, they are controlled by Zero Six, and have a consciousness of absolute obedience.

"When will we be able to completely storm the eastern side?" Fourteen was lying on the table in boredom.

Zero Three beside him said, "Do you want to get rid of the lab, or do you want to rush into the fifteenth district to kill people for fun?" ”

The girl smiled coldly and said, "You guy, it's really a pity to die, why didn't the eleventh kill you at that time?" The people who watched were really anxious. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fourteen suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck - "Shut up slut!" Do you want to be broken into a ball by me?! ”

Fearless, Zero Three grabbed the knife on the table and cut off his hand: "Let go of the old lady!" ”

When the words fell, the lightning that fell from the sky struck No. 14 fiercely!

The young man suddenly turned dark, and his eyes stared at No. 13: "What are you doing?!" ”

The woman's voice was cold, "Don't do anything to your companions." ”

"It's Zero Three, this Bichi cut off my hand!"

"You pinched someone's neck first."

"It's Zero Three who scolds me first!"

"Who made you look like you're scolding?"

Number 14: "......"

Angry, he cursed a foul word to the smug No. 03 next to him, and the young man turned around and left the base hall.
