Chapter 26 Mutation
These visions disappeared in an instant. Sun Hang only hesitated for a moment before his consciousness returned to the blood moon.
The reflections that were close at hand quickly faded in front of his eyes until they completely disappeared.
"What's going on?" Yang Qi stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"These figures seem to be reflections of people." Sun Hang replied truthfully, "When I touched them, I saw the entire process of a person from youth to old age and then to death."
"...Resonance?" Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I don't know." Sun Hang thought about it for a moment. Although the images lasted shorter than the blink of an eye, he still clearly remembered that this man was wearing a navy blue suit in his middle age.
In the news footage I saw before, among the leaders and officials attending the flower-laying ceremony, there were also several people wearing suits of similar colors and styles.
Could this figure... be one of those missing officials?
Just when Sun Hang wanted to take another look at the place where the figures disappeared, a strong fragrance suddenly floated from the side and behind.
He turned around and saw that Wang Xiyi had squatted on the ground without knowing it, her arms tightly wrapped around her chest, and the expression on her face seemed to be suppressing some kind of pain.
On her neck, there were already tiny black scales coming out from under the skin, exuding a metallic luster.
"Night Fury?!" Yang Qi also noticed Wang Xiyi's changes and whispered, "When was the last time you injected an inhibitor?!"
Sun Hang raised his head and glanced at the increasingly bright blood moon in the sky. Without saying anything, he rushed to Wang Xiyi's side with a quick stride.
He resisted the urge to throw the other party to the ground, grabbed Wang Xiyi's arm and dragged her out of the boundary.
The blood moon in the sky turned into a normal moon, and the scales on Wang Xiyi's neck no longer appeared.
She held the inhibitor syringe in her hand, but at this time her fingers were extremely stiff and she could not inject herself.
"Help...me...inject..." Wang Xiyi gasped with difficulty.
Sun Hang used brute force to open her fingers, took out the syringe, pulled off the protective sheath, and directly inserted the needle into her upper arm.
The glass bubble storing compressed air at the end of the disposable syringe was crushed, and the clarified medicine inside was immediately pushed into Wang Xiyi's body.
After almost ten seconds, Wang Xiyi's stiff body became soft again, and she sat weakly on the ground.
Sun Hang glanced at the empty syringe in his hand. There was still a "coriander smell" that made him nauseous. He shook his head in disgust and stuffed it into the outer pocket of his clothes.
Yang Qi squatted down next to Wang Xiyi and slightly opened the zipper on the other person's collar.
The fine scales that popped up shrank back, and the neck, wrists and other places also returned to their original smooth and white skin, which made Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is it caused by the blood moon?" Sun Hang asked.
"The high probability is that... the influence of the blood moon is like radiation. The higher the intensity, the faster and higher the degree of mutation of the affected creatures." Yang Qi sighed, "From now on, before the blood moon disappears, , you and the Night Fury are not allowed to enter the abnormal area anymore.”
"Are you going to disobey your superiors' orders?" Sun Hang smiled, "That group of people decided to 'do whatever it takes' this time."
"Because they are all idiots... If the Night Furies lose control because of their 'orders', not to mention the search and rescue operation, most of Tianfu City will suffer!" Yang Qi said angrily, "Besides, search and rescue operations No action There is a pause, but I'm still here... You send Night Demon back to the research institute first, and tell the teacher everything that happened here. There's no rush to come back after the blood moon disappears the next day." Yang Qi finished. He threw the keys of the off-road vehicle to Sun Hang.
Sun Hang didn't refuse. He took off the gun directly and handed it to 0401, who was still in a dazed state.
"Ah... what, what does this mean?" 0401 was stunned for a moment and asked.
I don't know why, but after getting the gun he longed for, the sense of crisis in his heart suddenly increased a lot.
"Although there are no infected people around you, there is no guarantee what you will encounter on the way to join the large army. You can't hide behind a woman all the time, right?" Sun Hang said.
"..." 0401's lips wriggled, but finally did not speak.
"Go quickly." Yang Qi urged, "The inhibitor only temporarily stabilized the Night Fury's condition. She is still in danger. She must be sent back to the research institute as quickly as possible! You don't have to worry about me!"
0401 and Sun Hang worked together to lift Wang Xiyi into the car. Sun Hang got into the cab, glanced at the two people who stayed there in the rearview mirror, and then started the car.
……
On the way back, reports of attacks on a certain team came from the communication device in the car from time to time - not only those wild wolves, but also the creatures in the entire abnormal area began to mutate: those abandoned stray dogs and cats, wandering Snakes in the grass, and even rats and bugs at the bottom of the food chain, emerged from the soil and began to attack everyone who stepped into this area.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Yang Qi and 0401 were naturally attacked by these mutated creatures. Fortunately, the two teams that had just completed the merger arrived in time to provide support. Except for 0401, who fell and broke his knee while dodging, there were no casualties. .
But other teams were not so lucky - when Sun Hang arrived at the research institute, according to rough estimates, the death toll had exceeded twenty, and the number of injured had reached three digits.
The impact of this blood moon far exceeded everyone's estimates.
……
A dozen staff who were waiting at the entrance of the institute in advance took over Wang Xiyi. They carried Wang Xiyi into an air-conditioned "metal coffin" and then hurriedly left, leaving Sun Hang standing alone. On the big steps at the entrance of the institute.
"The director will perform an operation on Night Fury immediately. Yang Qi has already reported the specific situation in the operation area." A staff member said to Sun Hang before leaving, "In the next sixteen hours, you can be free Standby.”
"What about sixteen hours later?" Sun Hang asked.
"You should ask your direct person in charge, not me." After saying this, the staff member left.
The entire institute was in a state of frantic operation. The few field staff were sent to the Chengnan Cemetery. Wang Xiyi's sudden situation forced those who were resting from get off work to be pulled out of bed—— The faces of these white-coated workers almost all had heavy dark circles under their eyes and resentment about being forced to work overtime.
I sat down on the big steps in front of the Sun Hang Research Institute. At this time, a familiar feeling of hunger surged up from my stomach again.
He couldn't tell whether the source of this hunger was the woman who had just been carried in, or whether it was because he hadn't eaten for a long time.
There was already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon. Sun Hang took out his mobile phone and took a look. The time displayed on the screen was 4:45 in the morning.
The last time I ate was the bite of an apple I took at "home" in the evening.
