Chapter 231 "The End of the Hungry Ghosts" Sleepless Night
"Unfortunately, the sample is too single and not enough to confirm the conclusion."
Jiang Qian reviewed the process of the "exemption-free experiment" not long ago, carefully repackaged the potion and locked it back in the safe.
Just as he was about to leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a stain next to the safe. He knelt down and took a closer look at the stain: it was a splash of blood.
Jiang Qian stretched out his fingers to touch and taste it. The blood was still wet and contained the poison from the crawler's tail needle.
The dripping on this location was probably Elizabeth's blood, so just now...a few details flashed quickly in Jiang Qian's mind.
At the same time, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the corridor, and some militiamen rushed towards Elizabeth's room upstairs.
It was also at this moment that a commotion outside the window once again caught Jiang Qian's attention.
He quietly approached the window and looked at the place where the incident occurred:
Near the northern periphery of the Academic Affairs Building, the defenses unexpectedly caught fire at this time? Militiamen at nearby sentry posts are calling on their companions to collect water to put out the fire...
Jiang Qian frowned slightly.
Not because of the fire itself, but because of the moonlight, he clearly saw several suspicious figures taking advantage of the chaos and approaching the sentry position where the incident occurred.
One of the leaders was no stranger to him, he was Black Windbreaker.
……
On the east side of the outer edge of Ideal Town.
Monat is leading people to reinforce the outer defenses overnight.
Ever since Jiang Qian stood in the iron grid of the academic building and told the magical story of the player from another world, he had a premonition that the world was going to "change" - without any actual basis, just intuition. The intuition he has relied on for so many years!
Over the past few days, external turmoil has indeed continued to occur. Although it has not yet affected Ideal Town, there is no doubt that what Jiang Qian said is being verified:
Those super species players are in danger!
They have a strong sense of hunger for humans, and some of them are not opposed to eating humans...
But as an aboriginal Monat, there was almost nothing he could do about this except to continue to strengthen the fortifications of Ideal Town.
At this time, Monat and others who were reinforcing their defenses also saw the fire and heard the commotion in the dark night.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like it's on fire..."
"Stop all of you, follow me!"
With rich survival experience, he immediately stopped the militiamen who were laying roadblocks beside him and led them quickly towards the site of the incident!
Under the cover of night, there seems to be some mysterious power surging.
Monat frowned and walked quickly along the outer wall of Ideal Town. All the muscles in his body were tense, ready for a desperate fight at any time.
However, the fight came faster than he imagined.
As he got closer to the blazing fire, several screams suddenly broke through the silent night!
Monat suddenly stopped and lowered his voice: "Hidden!"
His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, he drew a few meters with his back against the ground, and lay dormant in the shadow nearby.
The whole person was highly nervous and observing secretly.
He could clearly identify the people who screamed just now. Such screams meant injury or death.
Cold sweat slid down his forehead and dripped on his front.
However, he gradually felt that something was wrong.
The liquid dripping on the front seems to emit some weird smell...
When he realized this, Monat quickly wiped his front, raised his fingers to his eyes, and then saw a flash of bright red in the fire not far away.
Adrenaline surged through him.
To turn back is to draw a gun and shoot!
As the gunfire exploded, a black shadow fell from the wall of Ideal Town and lay motionless on the ground.
Monat cautiously looked closer.
However, while trying to turn over the man's body, Monat suddenly discovered that the other person was actually a militiaman from Ideal Town!
His eyes were half-opened, and there were blood marks on his neck from snake bites. The blood was constantly overflowing from the two gaps...
"Bob?"
When Monat's eyes met, Bob, who had a gloomy expression, suddenly opened his bloody mouth and greedily gnawed at Monat's face!
……
"Bang bang bang"
"It's on fire! Let's put out the fire!"
"Bang bang bang"
"The north wall is on fire, go and help put out the fire!"
Camille knocked on the door from door to door, calling on residents at home to join the firefighting ranks!
The fire on the outer edge of Ideal Town has quickly alarmed the surrounding residents.
Camille also knocked on Xue Yang's door: "Do you want two doctors? The north wall is on fire. It's very dangerous. Let's go put out the fire together!"
Xue Yang did not open the door, but agreed through the door: "I know, let's go now!"
"Thank you Dr. Xue!"
The family members of infected patients who are now being treated by Jiang Qian, regardless of Jiang Qian or Xue Yang, are all regarded as doctors.
This brought Xue Yang a great sense of accomplishment!
He really wanted to open the door and chat with the pretty girl, but Jiang Qian had not come back yet. Once someone found Jiang Qian staying out at night and wandering around Ideal Town, unnecessary suspicion would be aroused.
After Camille left in a hurry, Xue Yang put his ear against the door to listen to the noise outside.
There was a commotion outside.
"The fire seems to be quite serious. Damn, it couldn't have been caused by Lao Jiang... Why didn't you inform me?"
Xue Yang continued to stick to the door and listen.
There were familiar footsteps outside the door, as if Camille had run around and returned.
"Bang bang bang"
There was a knock on the door, which made Xue Yang's liver tremble. He swallowed his saliva and responded calmly: "Who is it?"
"I am leader Elizabeth's special service soldier. Is Dr. Jiang here? The leader hopes to see him as soon as possible." The other party said.
Not Camille.
But Xue Yang was even more nervous.
Because the other party directly asked to see Jiang Qian, but Jiang Qian was not here at all at this time!
Xue Yang's heartbeat quickened, he cleared his throat in a low voice, and tried in as calm a voice as possible: "It's so late, what's going on?"
"Emergency!" the other party replied coldly.
Obviously he doesn't have much patience, and he doesn't seem to have a very good temper.
Xue Yang suddenly had an idea and said seriously: "Oh... he went out to put out the fire! Why don't you go out and look for him? Maybe you can meet him..."
Xue Yang said as he stepped back.
He thought that if the other party saw a flaw and wanted to break in and take control of him, he could just jump out of the window and escape!
As a result, a low curse came from the door, and the footsteps disappeared in a hurry!
Believe it?
Xue Yang suddenly felt very lucky!
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the flashing firelight outside the window, and his heart started to rise again after he had just put it down: "Isn't something serious going to happen..."
"Bang bang bang!"
Another knock on the door!
Xue Yang was so frightened that he was a little confused. He was stunned for a long time before asking: "...who is it?"
"Is Dr. Jiang here? Someone was bitten by a snake and the situation is not good. Dr. Jiang needs to handle it personally!"...
The location of the fire.
Residents hurried back and forth carrying tools and utensils of different specifications from each household, trying to prevent the fire from spreading to Ideal Town by blocking the source of combustion!
The surrounding fortifications used to prevent crawlers have been destroyed. Residents fearlessly passed through the fortifications and came to the outskirts of Ideal Town to put out the fire:
"This way! This way!"
"Hey, everyone, hurry up and block the source of combustion! Otherwise the fire will enter the school!"
"Protect Ideal Town, our relatives and friends are inside! Everyone, work harder..."
The militiamen closest to the fire were wrapped in cloaks covered with crawler secretions. While maintaining order, they personally went into battle to put out the fire. The scene was noisy.
Until the militiamen who were shouting loudly became hoarse and their voices suddenly stopped!
His facial expression instantly stiffened, showing fear.
A resident who happened to pass by him looked out curiously. After seeing the almost horrified expression on the militiaman's face, he screamed in fright and dropped the shovel in his hand!
The nearby residents looked sideways when they heard the sound and saw the militiamen with strange faces and a long black shadow extending from the back of the militiamen's necks...
People's steps stopped unconsciously, with expressions of surprise or fear on their faces.
Along with the freezing reaction of the residents of Ideal Town, the black shadow behind the neck of the infected militiaman disappeared in a flash, and a tall man wearing a black trench coat and a black glove on one hand strolled out of the darkness.
"Oh, this area is still bustling with people!"
The black windbreaker shook his gloves, licked the corners of his moist mouth, and revealed the ferocious snake head connected to his right wrist:
"It would be great if I could find this place sooner..."
While he was talking to himself, several more figures appeared from different locations.
A middle-aged man in a torn coat, a woman in ragged clothes, a young man with a scar on his face...
The three of them have one thing in common. Their expressions are dull, like animals without emotions. Each of them has a black snake head attached to their right wrist.
The residents finally reacted:
"Did I see it wrong? Snakes, snakes grow on people?!"
"Is this...the legendary player?"
"Is he the same person as Dr. Jiang? A player from another world..."
"It's a cannibal! A super species player, a cannibal player! Run...run!!!"
Hearing the shouts of the villagers, Black Windbreaker, who was enthusiastically selecting prey, frowned subconsciously.
He snatched the person who screamed the loudest from the fleeing residents, wrapped his neck around his chest and asked in a serious tone: "What did you say? Do you know about super species players?"
The man was strangled so hard that he almost fainted. He coughed for a long time before he could say anything: "It's a player again, and it's..."
His nonsense was crushed in the anger of the black windbreaker, and the bones in his neck were broken, directly ending his life.
"Unlucky, this is someone else's territory..."
Black Windbreaker deeply felt that his luck was a bit bad.
But he quickly figured it out:
"This is a dungeon! There are so many first-come, first-served rules. Of course, there is strength in numbers! Hahaha..."
As he spoke, he happily pointed the snake's head at the strangled resident, and the two heads began to feast together.
On the other side, his three infected followers have begun to attack the fleeing residents indiscriminately!
The bitten residents fell to the ground in pain and were "infected".
The body fluids unique to super-species players are rewriting their genes through some unspeakable mysterious form...
The commotion became louder and louder. Seeing this scene, the residents who were coming from a distance ran away like crazy to all parts of the town as if they were seeing demons!
The ideal town under the night is extremely noisy at the moment.
But in a more hidden place, there is a pair of calmer and emotionless eyes watching all this sharply.
……
Kamil is witnessing a middle-aged infected person eating the militiamen he lives with every day.
Her expression was frightened, her legs were weak, and her whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all!
When the middle-aged infected man finished his meal, vomited the letter, and finally turned his attention to her, a figure like a chariot slammed into her.
The middle-aged infected man was pretended to fly and fell not far away.
He seemed to have broken a bone. He struggled and screamed for a long time, but he couldn't get up. Only the snake head with its eyes on its right hand was shaking violently, trying to bite any prey that came close to him.
"Brother-in-law..." Camille looked at her brother-in-law Sean with tearful eyes. He was one of the three people who had been treated by Jiang Qian and gained the physical fitness of a cognitive body.
"Come on, this guy is just a 'servant'..." Sean glanced anxiously in the direction of the black windbreaker, quickly tucked Camille under his armpits, and ran towards the student dormitory.
His wife is still at home, and it's dangerous there too!
……
The woman who was forced into a dead end cried out desperately, but she couldn't stop the infected woman who was also a woman from approaching step by step.
"No, I'm still a mother of two children. I can't die...Help, help me!"
The despair of a mother who can see her children after her death.
There was a "bang" gunshot!
A string of blood spattered from the back of the infected person's head...
Monat jumped off the wall covered in blood. He didn't care about the woman lying limply on the ground, but took the lead in rushing forward against the flow of people!
……
At this time, the young infected person followed the flow of people and entered the "student dormitory".
Many people have run away, and the remaining ones are written about the old, weak, sick, and the bitten people lying on the ground undergoing the pain of infection and transformation.
Xue Yang does not belong to one of these two.
He never left his dormitory from beginning to end, because Jiang Qian told him to look after the house, and he didn't dare to leave...
Xue Yang lay on the door and listened to what was going on outside:
Some people screamed and ran towards the back door, some fell to the ground and groaned, some were crying... and there were footsteps.
Those steady footsteps reminded Xue Yang of "Hunter", and his heartbeat continued to accelerate as the footsteps approached.
I am a super species player, I can deal with it, no problem... Xue Yang gritted his teeth and cheered himself up.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps passed directly in front of his door and turned to the next door...
Xue Yang breathed a sigh of relief slowly and carefully!
I scared my dad to death, I scared my dad to death, I was really lucky today... Xue Yang sighed silently.
But then, he heard the sound of the door breaking from not far away, and the screams from the next door!
He recognized that voice.
While "working" with Jiang Qian in the medical office, I often heard that voice. Although the breath was a little weak, it was gentle and pleasant, and the words were pleasant, and it always made people feel like a spring breeze.
Now, that voice seems to be getting rough treatment.
……
In the swaying light of the fire, the "new servant" in black trench coat stood up unsteadily.
His expression was dull and his eyes were dim, but his right hand miraculously transformed from five fingers into a black snake head!
The snake's head opened its jaws, its sharp fangs stretched out, and its venom shone coldly in the moonlight.
The black windbreaker nodded with satisfaction, and with a look, the other party rushed towards Ideal Town!
He relies on the servants he creates anytime and anywhere to spread out to dig out more living resources, forming an exponential spread to achieve the effect of creating a "legion".
And he himself does not need to go deep into the enemy camp. After all, there are other "players" inside, and he is not sure about encountering the same kind of enemies.
This is a survival dungeon, and the strategy process is all about exchanging survival resources, and staying alive is fundamental!
If he finds that something is wrong, he will evacuate as soon as possible: he will take a shot and change the ground, and he will never fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, this time, he flirted with the wrong person.
