Chapter 52: A New Soldier

When the three of them returned to the upper floor again, they were greeted by a chaotic scene:

Dents from slime corrosion can be seen everywhere on the walls, ceilings, and floors, making it look like a battlefield full of craters.

Most of the body of the large hairless man was torn and bitten off, leaving the small half of the head lying quietly on the side, and the originally bloated and fat body deflated like a deflated balloon, like a circle of pockets with sharp teeth.

The ground was dripping with acidic slime bursting from its body, and the hairless man's head remained motionless, apparently dead.

On the other side, the black dog with two heads was licking the wounds on its body, and when it saw them, it immediately got up, and let out a wary "whine" sound in its throat.

The left front leg is lame, and it is a wound cut by Yan Jingxing; Half of the right hind leg is directly missing, and it is likely to be bitten off by a hairless person.

The original black and shiny fur has now been corroded clean, revealing bare muscles, like a stray dog with a skin disease; Both heads were blind in one eye, and the situation was very miserable.

"The outcome of the battle between them was a choice for me. Jing Xing, can you do me a favor? ”

Xie Yuzhi's voice was very weak, but the excitement in his tone did not diminish in the slightest.

"You say."

"I'm just close to being able to control the Split-Headed Dog." "But its resistance is still tenacious, and with my current consciousness, it's not strong enough to shatter the shell." So, I need help from outside. ”

"What should I do?"

"From what I know, the fight with the Hairless has actually brought it to the limit, but it's hard to say if it recovers later."

Xie Yuzhi stared at the signs of the split-headed dog, there were a lot of pitted and corroded marks on its body, but it was only a short time later, and the white smoke released by the acidic mucus had disappeared; The wounds left behind are healing in minutes, and the ability to recover is terrifying.

“…… Hey, isn't it recovering too fast from its wounds? ”

Yan Jingxing also noticed this.

"Hmm. On the one hand, the self-healing ability of the Splitter host is very strong, and on the other hand, it is because it has just been replenished with a large amount of nutrients. ”

The hairless survive by devouring the host's brain, while the split-headed one hunts the former for a more abundant amount of energy at once, even enough to allow its host to evolve to the next stage.

Xie Yuzhi closed one eye and saw that the red light cluster that symbolized the consciousness of the split-headed dog was flickering and rising.

"Sure enough...... I can feel that the intensity of consciousness is closely related to the physical senses. Therefore, in order to make it succumb faster, it needs to make the Splitter feel more pain and make it weaker. ”

"No problem."

Yan Jingxing bent the corners of his mouth, picked up the knife, and slowly walked towards the split-headed dog that was shrinking in the corner.

In short, isn't this "beating the water dogs". Who wouldn't be good at it?

The badly injured Split-Head Dog subconsciously curled up in the face of the approaching human boy, and both heads were retracted.

"I'll kick him downstairs later. Don't peek at the two of you, the scene can be bloody, be careful of being scared. ”

"Okay~ Got it."

……

A few minutes later.

Yan Jingxing returned to the second floor.

"I've got it." He said, "I see it's lying there and not moving, what's going on?" ”

“…… It's done. ”

Xie Yuzhi let out a small breath and put down his tired hand.

Her body shook a little and almost fell backwards, but fortunately, Ji Chunzao was by her side and supported her.

“…… Jing Xing, you just ...... Gone to abuse the dog? ”

The little girl scanned Yan Jingxing's trousers and sleeves back and forth with a strange expression, all of which were stained with blood.

"Don't say I'm like a pervert."

Yan Jingxing replied angrily.

"I'm just cutting a few wounds on it and bleeding to prevent it from recovering, and it's irresponsible to let it run around."

Having said that, he still had to activate his instinct before he could do it, and Yan Jingxing felt that his will was still not resolute enough.

"I just heard Yuzhi say 'it's done', did you mean that this is okay?"

Ji Chunzao looked at Xie Yuzhi again, and his bright eyes always flashed with curiosity.

"Well, my 'mind domination' has worked."

Miss Xie waved casually in the direction of the downstairs.

"Come, come."

Not long after, the two-headed black dog limped up the stairs.

"Give me a show of rolling on the ground."

It immediately did as it was told, like the kind of dog that has been specially trained to perform. It's just that it's covered in blood, and it looks a little pitiful.

"Get up, bow."

The black dog immediately stood up.

With its huge size, it is quite scary to make such a sudden movement, it does not look like a dog, but more like a bear ready to pounce.

It's just that because of a broken leg, this position is not stable for it at all, and it soon falls to the ground.

"This leg...... Can it still be recovered? ”

"With its self-healing ability, it should still be possible. But recovery from a mutilated limb will definitely take time. Do you want to see any other performances? ”

"Forget it, it's so badly injured, it's pitiful." Ji Chunzao said, "I want to be bullied by you......"

"Who bullied you?"

Xie Yuzhi glared at her.

She walked over to the Split-Headed Dog and examined its wounds.

"You look like this, I can't find someone to help you see the injury, I'm afraid of scaring others. But ......"

Xie Yuzhi clapped her hands.

"Give you a 'small snack' to eat, and it will be a benefit for my subordinates."

As he spoke, a hairless man crawled out of the corner.

When the split-headed dog saw it, a pair of beast eyes suddenly lit up and pounced on it.

Xie Yuzhi interrupted his domination of his first "soldier". As soon as the hairless man came to his senses, he saw his natural enemy with his bloody mouth wide open, staring at him, and there were no other companions around him, so he was so frightened that he quickly curled up and jumped out for several meters.

But it was obviously pointless, and the two-headed black dog rushed up and grabbed the leech monster by the neck in one bite, biting it in two while it was still struggling, and swallowing the dead hairless man into its belly.

Even after a big meal, the Split-Head is still greedy for its prey.

"That's your first 'soldier', isn't it too pitiful?"

Yan Jingxing looked a little funny.

"The hairless person who exists as a single body doesn't mean much to us, and now we have to dominate the split-header, so it's better to save some of the consciousness consumption just in case."

Xie Yuzhi rubbed her temples, and she felt that her head was still aching.

This is presumably the after-effects of overloading the use of the King's abilities. In addition, every second that maintains the dominance of consciousness is an exhaustion for her.

"In addition, there is the problem of spring algae."

"Is it my fault?"

The little girl's eyes widened at Yan Jing in surprise.

"That's right, just because you said something like 'Don't you feel uncomfortable mentally manipulating a leech' at the time......," Miss Xie complained, "I didn't care about it originally, but now I can't help it, and I can't get over this hurdle psychologically." ”

I see. Yan Jingxing nodded clearly, it was a matter of being ugly, so there was no way.

Although the appearance of the black dog with two heads is also not good-looking - it should be described as "hideous", but it is still more acceptable on a psychological level than a wet invertebrate mollusk.

"Alright, let's go."

Xie Yuzhi covered her mouth and yawned slightly.

The tension was finally relaxed. After a long period of tension and excitement, she felt that she could sleep to death as soon as the back of her head was touched by a pillow.

"I'm satisfied. I just wanted to test my abilities tonight, but I didn't expect to get a useful 'soldier' pawn......"

She looked at her companions.

"What about you? Do you want to go back now? ”

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao looked at each other, and replied almost at the same time:

"Let's go back, I finally used my ability to let go of the fight, and it was a good attempt for me."

"It was a good adventure, and I was content to meet a new alien creature."

"That's good."

It was only at this time that Xie Yuzhi remembered one thing.

"Ah, by the way, my driver is still waiting for me outside...... Gotta go back. ”

*

On the way downstairs, they happened to meet the combination of Dr. Sun and the security guard.

When Dr. Sun saw them, he looked suspicious.

"You...... Who are you? Where did it come from? It's dangerous here, you hurry-"

Yan Jingxing walked past him as he spoke.

"If you're worried about the dog, don't worry. It's been driven away by us. ”

“…… What, what? ”

"It's just that the damage in the corridor is a bit serious, be careful; There are also more than a dozen patients who should still be in a coma and need prompt treatment. ”

Dr. Sun turned his head and watched the backs of the young people go away in a daze, and the boy in the lead waved to him without looking back.

"Don't thank us, just a gesture."

They walked in style, and Dr. Sun didn't even have time to react, and the people were gone.

Until the security guard tugged at his sleeve and whispered:

"What they say is probably true."

"Really? …… The barking of the dog suddenly stopped, and I came over to check on the situation...... Wait, how do you know it's true? ”

"Because when the patients in the North District suddenly went crazy and besieged me, it was the young man who took the lead who saved me......"

The security guard told him everything that had happened before.

Dr. Sun's expression changed as he listened.

Although it sounded a little incredible, after all, he had really seen strange things, and he didn't doubt it, but said with a wry smile:

"Then you're lucky to have bumped into someone who has the ability to solve this problem. Alas, if there had been such a powerful person back then, it would not have ......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, apparently remembering his colleague who had been bitten by a patient and died ten years ago.

"It's still a bunch of kids, right?"

"Yes, I look like I'm fourteen or fifteen years old."

"It's amazing...... I don't know if they go to school locally, maybe they are in the same school as my relative's children. ”

*

When they walked out of the hospital, they saw that the driver had already gotten out of the car, and he was anxious like ants on a hot pot, until he saw the eldest lady coming back, he was relieved and hurriedly greeted him.

"Miss, have you done your business?"

After so much time had passed since the appointed time, the fool knew that it was impossible to visit the teacher just to visit him, but the driver did not dare to ask the specific situation, so he could only confirm her wishes first, whether he wanted to leave or not.

"Alright."

Xie Yuzhi's tone was relaxed.

"Let's go back. …… Oh yes, and before that, can you open the trunk for me? ”

"Do you have something to store?"

The driver was a little puzzled, he saw that these young people were all empty-handed.

"yes, just open it."

The driver didn't understand what he meant, but he did it anyway.

But at the moment when the trunk was opened, a vigorous black shadow "swished" into it, and the whole car jolted dullly, and the tires sank into the ground for a few minutes.

Yan Jingxing put the lid down smoothly, but it couldn't close it at all.

"W-What is that?"

The driver stuttered a little when he spoke. He didn't see what it was, because his vision was blocked, and he thought something terrifyingly large had gotten into the car.

"An injured stray dog, we looked pitiful and brought it back."

Where would there be such a big dog! The driver thought to himself and said with a wry smile:

"Then don't put it in the trunk, in case you can't breathe......"

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't mind."

Yan Jingxing clapped his hands and greeted with a smile.

"Alright, let's go!"
