Player Reload

Something is wrong. Something is wrong.

Li Sheng, hiding under the bridge, had red eyes and was breathing heavily.

He applied powder on his head and roughly sutured the wound with needle and thread to stop the bleeding. However, the ant needle hairs on his hand were reluctant to subside.

Not only that, he could feel that the erosion of the Lord of Insects was further intensifying. Tendons, bones, blood vessels, and skin were all changing towards insects.

Tear--

The muscles on the right thigh continued to swell uncontrollably, tearing the jeans directly, and the surging power continued to surge.

Li Sheng used his hands to support himself from falling, but the mantis arm bone blade on his right hand continued to grow, and its end brought out a large number of blood vessels and nerves, like some kind of new limb.

At the same time, the vision of his right eye became blurred and messy. Li Sheng took out his mobile phone with his shaking left hand, turned on the camera, and clearly saw the pupil in the right eye socket trembling rapidly, as if it was about to split.

Whether it was a grass paving ant or a big knife mantis, their eyes were compound eyes

Stop!

Li Sheng raised his fist and slammed it into his chest.

The heart suddenly stopped, the blood flow in the body stagnated, and the mutation trend on the right side of the body suddenly slowed down.

He used all his willpower to resist the continuous dispersion of consciousness and the desire to kill. After an unknown period of time, the mutation momentum finally subsided.

The mantis arm bone blade and arm needle hair slowly retracted, the thigh muscles returned to their original state, and the pupils no longer trembled.

"Huh"

Li Sheng, who was covered in cold sweat, breathed a sigh of relief and lay down under the bridge to recover his strength.

About twenty minutes later, he stood up, pushed the car back to the ground, rode back home, washed up and returned to the bedroom, and called Mu Yulu on WeChat.

On the surface, he was greeting the other party, but in fact he was indirectly asking about the situation in the hospital. Sure enough, from the background sound of the phone, he heard the sound of sirens.

I think it was the police or the Special Affairs Bureau who found the giant body beside the flower bed and sealed off the scene to clean up the traces.

After hanging up the WeChat call, Li Sheng thought again and again, and found all the property on hand - the mantis and insect pupa with blood amber in their bodies, four fragments of the Lord of Insects, and put them in several vacuum plastic bags with the black grease that had just been seized.

Then he changed into a new set of clothes, climbed over the wall and left the bedroom, and returned to the ground.

His current condition was completely abnormal, as if he had entered a new stage. He was not sure whether he could withstand the sudden mutation of his body next time.

There are still about 5,000 public telephone booths in Yin City. He found one of them and called the phone number of Chang Sun Yao who handed him the business card of [World Nuclear Flat].

"Hello?"

"Hello," Li Sheng paused and said carefully, "Chenghua Community, Building 6, 803, I am that person."

This address was exactly the address where the infected body of the Lord of Insects killed the couple last time, and it was also the place where Li Sheng met Chang Sun Yao.

"Oh, it's you." Chang Sunyao said with interest, "I thought you wouldn't get through this call."

"Can we meet? I want to entrust something to you."

"Sure, you pick the address."

"Starbucks, Lianhua North Road."

Li Sheng hung up the phone and headed for the target address. He didn't rush into the coffee shop, but hid in the corner and observed silently.

Ten minutes later, Chang Sunyao came to the store, sat down by the window, and ordered a cup of coffee. Li Sheng walked into Planet Bucks and sat opposite her.

Chang Sunyao wore a white hoodie with a black coat and jeans today, looking like an urban white-collar worker.

"You are really cautious."

She looked at Li Sheng and saw that his fingertips were smeared with 502 glue, and the face he used was also the middle-aged man who was killed by the insect master's infected experiment, but he was wearing sunglasses.

More importantly, there is a police station not far away from this Starbucks.

Chang Sunyao took out her phone and scanned the code to order two cups of coffee. She chuckled and said, "Are you afraid that I will do something bad to you, so you choose to meet in front of the police station?"

"Sorry."

Li Sheng took a deep breath, without explaining anything, took out a packaged blood amber from his pocket and gently placed it on the table, "How much is this thing worth?"

".The Godly Fragment of the Lord of Insects."

Chang Sunyao narrowed her eyes, leaned back, waved her hand and said, "Take it back. This thing is risky when exposed to the air."

She paused and said seriously, "Any act of buying and selling Godly Fragments is considered a felony in the territory of the Special Affairs Bureau. If you give it to them, it is likely to be a cash prize of 500,000. Reward, plus a banner. If it is handed over to other guilds or organizations, the price can be negotiated. "

"I have other fragments of the evil spirit in my hand."

Li Sheng put away the blood amber and said hoarsely: "I want to use this as a reward to solve the problem I encountered."

"What problem."

"I was infected by the Lord of Insects." Li Sheng said frankly: "I have gone through about four rounds of [Gene Hunger] cycles."

"Ahem——"

Chang Sun Yao, who was sipping coffee, almost choked. She looked at Li Sheng with wide eyes. After confirming that the other party was not joking, she frowned and said, "Do you mind if I use my spiritual sense to detect?"

Spiritual sense detection is the most commonly used detection skill type by players.

Of course, for players who are not familiar with each other, rashly using this ability is like provocation, and it is easy to fight if they disagree.

Li Sheng shook his head and let Chang Sun Yao open his palm and hang it above the back of his hand.

A feeling of being spied on began to spread from the back of his hand until it surged into his heart. Li Sheng resisted the urge to retract his palm and tightened his expression.

For a moment, Changsun Yao retracted his palm, frowned and said seriously, "You are not the chosen one."

Li Sheng nodded. He never said he was, so it shouldn't be a lie.

Without dwelling on this issue for too long, Changsun Yao continued to ask: "When did you get infected?"

"Half a month ago." Seeing the other party's sudden silence, he asked, "Is there any problem?"

"You should know what the outside world thinks about the Insect Lord's infection, right?"

"I know, there is no cure." Li Sheng recalled the scene of the Special Bureau personnel shooting and killing infected people that day, and said hoarsely: "According to the saying on the game forum, there are infinite possibilities in the killing field. The Special Bureau solved it If something cannot be done, other forces may not be able to do anything about it.”

"You're right. The question is, at what cost."

Changsun Yao said expressionlessly: "For the concept of [human beings], infection by the Lord of Insects is like smashing porcelain on the ground, using the broken residue, mixing it with other messy things, gluing it together and firing it to make it stronger." Tall container.

During this process, the infected person will gain stronger power, but the [gene hunger] will become stronger and more frequent, until the infected person's genome completely collapses and becomes a monster without human reason.

Most ordinary people will mutate into monsters during the first stage of infection by the Bug Lord.

A few people can endure the third and fourth rounds of genetic hunger before losing their minds and turning into monsters.

In the rarest case, it took until the sixth round to hold on. "

She paused and said calmly: "The top player organizations have a perfect solution to the infection of the gods, but the cost is too high and they will not let people outside the core circle use it."

Li Sheng whispered: ".I still have many evil fragments in my hand."

"It's useless. The two values ​​are not of the same magnitude."

Changsun Yao said decisively: "Repair is always more difficult than destruction. Imagine that it is very simple to use modern technology to fire a kiln of porcelain, but if you want to perfectly restore a broken porcelain at the atomic level and have the same strength as the original, The difficulty has increased by more than an order of magnitude.

Unless you have a big shot in your family,

Otherwise, if you go to the Special Affairs Bureau to turn yourself in and seek help now, they will most likely give you a [comfort project]. "

"The comfort project?"

"That's hospice care." Changsun Yao said calmly: "Within the 1 million fund limit, you will be allowed to eat, drink, and spend a happy week or two. Once the time is up, they will execute it on you. Euthanasia, recycling your body.

This is the Secret Service's standard procedure for dealing with high-risk targets who surrender and cannot be cured. "

Li Sheng was silent for a long time and then said, "I can work for them."

"It is now the fourth year of the killing game. The Special Bureau has no shortage of thugs, or in other words, no shortage of thugs who are not top-notch combatants."

Changsun Yao asked: "Even if they recruit you, you will involuntarily transform into a monster at the end of your life. You will instinctively cause destruction and spread infection. It is equivalent to an extremely dangerous time bomb."

"."

Li Sheng fell into a long silence. He slowly raised his head and asked seriously: "How long can I survive as a human being?"

"The most optimistic scenario is that it will only last about a month."

Changsun Yao put down the coffee and said: "Of course, the above are all my words. If you don't believe it, I can take you to places like Prometheus Laboratory Company for free. Ask them if they have any suggestions. ”
