Pollution throughout the territory

The ground began to tremble, and the rumbling sound echoed in every corner of the campus. This dreamland was about to collapse.

"Takle-Lee!"

The Shoggoths behind them were chasing them. The three of them were running at full speed from beginning to end, so they kept a good distance.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before they can escape the dreamland smoothly.

Just when Xia Ren was thinking this, a bright light suddenly lit up in the unchanging night, illuminating the entire campus in an instant. Then thunder exploded overhead, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down.

The dense rain made the already narrow field of vision even more blurry. Even Xia Ren's distorted eyes could barely see the scene within two meters, and within just a few seconds, the ground under their feet became muddy. , this sudden bad weather greatly hindered their running speed, and the chaotic sound of rain also affected their communication.

However, the physical fitness of the three of them cannot be measured by ordinary people's standards. There is a long distance between them and the Shoggoths. Even if the speed starts to slow down, it will still take a long time for the latter to catch up with them. Time, before that, this dreamland will be unable to hold up at first.

However, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone. The real leader of the dream is Xu Qiang after all.

There was another flash of lightning in the sky, and then there was a moment of bright light. They were surprised to see the unconscious students and teachers who had been lying on the ground getting up one after another, moving like zombies, waving their hands ferociously, and biting at them from the front. Come.

This was Xu Qiang's last attempt to thwart them, the bad weather, and the fierce crowds!

Xu Qiang wants to surround and kill them!

There are pursuers behind and powerful enemies in front. At this critical moment, although they will not be killed by the crowd, as long as they delay, the monsters behind them will be able to catch up. When the time comes, they will be greeted by those who are fighting against them. Like a building, it had the fate of being crushed into pieces.

"what to do?"

In the heavy rain, Liu Xiuxiu shouted anxiously.

He was soaked all over, and his shoulder-length short hair danced up and down with his running movements, causing splashes of water. The top of his school uniform was too heavy because it absorbed water, so he had taken it off and thrown it to the side of the road as early as midway. His upper body was now only Wearing an autumn coat, it clings to the skin.

Xia Ren turned to look at him while he was busy.

Liang Wan gritted her teeth and prepared to take out something from her arms.

Before she could take action, she heard Xia Ren say: "Run, don't be afraid, just keep running!"

"Do you have any idea?"

Liang Wan paused in reaching into her arms and asked.

"have!"

Xia Ren frowned and tried to recall the scene of his escape in the Crazy Mountains that night.

The metal shotgun appeared in his hand, and without hesitation, he shot the crowd in front of him!

"boom!"

The instantaneous explosive bomb hit one of the targets, and bright sparks bloomed in an instant. The fierce air wave blasted a gap in the crowd, and even a few people closest to the explosion site were directly lifted into the sky. The power was so terrifying!

Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu looked at this scene with their mouths wide open.

Xia Ren himself was also shocked. At the same time, he had a new understanding of the strength of the monster that was transformed by the rescue team that night. The bullet that could only blow off half of the opponent's shoulder with one shot turned out to be so powerful for ordinary people. As a result, no wonder a dog thrown at him from a distance of hundreds of meters could seriously injure him!

"Run out of the gap!"

Xia Ren came back to his senses, kept walking, and shouted.

The crowd tended to gather again, and the three of them accelerated again, stepping on the water and passing through the gaps in the human wall.

Those teachers and students still wanted to catch up, but they were swept under them by the Shoggoths that followed, and they couldn't even scream.

The dream was on the verge of collapse. Xia Ren used the light of lightning to see Cheng Shuangshuang on the playground who was soaked in water. She didn't know what she had experienced. She was sitting cross-legged on the yellow lawn with dull eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Xia Ren asked the two of them to run forward for their lives while he rushed towards the playground.

Liang Wan was startled when she heard his request: "This critical moment..."

"Leave me alone, you run away first, nothing will happen."

Looking at the figure he left behind, Liang Wan pulled Liu Xiuxiu, who was a little exhausted, and continued to rush forward.

"Cheng Shuangshuang!"

From a distance, Xia Ren started calling her name, but she didn't know whether it was because the rain was too loud or because she was in a daze and didn't seem to hear her.

Although it has reached the final stage, as long as it is not completely out of the dream, it will still face the risk of death.

The roots of the lawn on the playground were soaked by the rain and could not provide any friction. The vibration of the ground and the slippery mud made Xia Ren step on it and he was caught off guard and almost fell. Fortunately, he reacted in time and quickly. Stabilized his body.

In the blink of an eye, in the pouring rain, the Shoggoths changed direction and chased Xia Ren.

"Takle-Lee!"

The terrifying sound abruptly cut off the rain, creating a vacuum in the rain curtain between it and Xia Ren.

The splash of water above Xia Ren's head paused for a full second, and then fell more fiercely. He himself was shaken by the sound and fell to the ground.

"Cheng Shuangshuang!"

Xia Ren got up and ran quickly, roaring again.

As he got closer, he saw that there were several vague shadows surrounding Cheng Shuangshuang, forming a circle. She herself was part of this circle, as if she was performing some mysterious ceremony.

As if she couldn't hear her screams, she still didn't move.

"That's too late!"

Xia Ren suddenly regretted the decision he had just made. He originally wanted to help Cheng Shuangshuang in the chaos to prevent her from suffering bad luck at the last moment. Unexpectedly, Shoggoth gave up on Liang Wan and the others and chased him. Come over.

His speed has slowed down a lot due to the sudden change in the harsh environment around him. The reason why the Shoggoths have not caught up with him is because he has consumed the distance he had created with his opponent before. Now the distance advantage has become smaller and smaller. .

If he could keep running, the Shoggoths would never be able to catch up with him before the dream ended, but now Cheng Shuangshuang was still sitting on the ground, not responding at all to his call.

If she ran directly towards her, the Shoggoths following behind her would crush her to death. If she stopped to help her, she would be overtaken by the Shoggoths and both of them would die together!

"How to do how to do?"

The more critical the moment, the calmer Xia Ren's mind becomes.

Judging from the current situation, he is faced with a choice.

There is a multiple-choice question before us: run or die together.

Without even thinking about it, he rudely ignored the multiple-choice question and started thinking directly about what he could do to prevent both of them from dying.

There is no way.

The root of the problem lies in himself. He is too slow and faces this problem because he cannot outrun the Shoggoths.

So, he has to be quick! Be quick!

This is his thinking logic!

Xia Ren's facial features were clearer than ever before, the sound of the rainstorm in his ears, the violent beating of his heart in his chest, the tight muscles on his thighs, and the coldness of the rain falling on his skin. Everything seemed to have slowed down a lot.

Absolute speed means absolute stillness.

When you feel that your surroundings are slow, in fact, it is you... who has become faster!

The long and narrow wings like bat wings suddenly bloomed from Xia Ren's back like a cold knife unsheathed.

Yes, this is his escape route!

Only in the alley that was filled with blood and the corpses of logistics personnel, that figure descending from the sky like a god, could solve the current predicament.

As it happens, that person, his mask, was once a part of him.

So in this dream, Xia Ren can think that it is himself.

His legs were bent, and the next moment, there was an explosion in the air. He was like a sharp arrow or a bullet. His body was parallel to the ground and flew forward. The speed was so fast that it formed a wave of air around him and shook away the rain.

Power, endless.

If he wasn't worried that Cheng Shuangshuang wouldn't be able to bear it the next time, he could go faster.

Is this what it feels like to be at the top?

The blurry shadows in front of her were finally noticed and disappeared underground. The ceremony was interrupted. This was what Cheng Shuangshuang feared the most. It was the nightmare that had been haunting her heart for more than ten years and it finally happened again.

She sat blankly on the lawn, stretching out her hands to dig into the ground around her, but the next second, she was flying in the air.

The heavy rain hit her face, causing pain. Cheng Shuangshuang finally regained his senses and began to realize where he was now and how dangerous his actions just now were.

If he sees this...

Just when she thought of this, she finally realized that she was flying in the air.

Wrapped around his waist were several plump tentacles. Looking along, he saw that the owner of the tentacles was none other than Xia Ren!

He is flying with himself!

Cheng Shuangshuang has been immersed in her own nightmare and turned a deaf ear to the outside world, so she doesn't know what Xia Ren and the others did after they left, she doesn't know the appearance of Shoggoths on campus, she doesn't know why the heavy rain in the sky comes, or I don't know what kind of danger I was in just now.

Because she didn't know this, she was panicked.

She thought Xia Ren deliberately interrupted the ceremony to target her.

"Damn it, it happened to be exposed at this time..."

There was no time to think about it. The next second, the dream finally collapsed.

The entire campus seemed to be on fire, and all buildings, including the ground beneath their feet, began to be quickly annihilated.

Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu noticed that the Shoggoths were not chasing them. As soon as they stopped to take a breath, their consciousness was dragged into the boundless darkness.

In the sky, Xia Ren witnessed all this and knew that it was irreversible. Xu Qiang could no longer pull off any tricks. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt very regretful. He had been hard for less than ten seconds and had not had time to fully experience this full feeling. The pleasure of power will return to that soft state.

Cheng Shuangshuang, who was held up behind him, was still in panic, not knowing what fate would await him next.

…

…

"vomit!"

The first thing that sounded was a sound of retching.

Cheng Shuangshuang peeled off the cocoon wrapping himself, lay on the toilet and vomited.

The side effects of being lifted up from the ground to a high altitude by Xia Ren in a very short period of time only appeared at this time. She felt an overwhelming discomfort in her stomach. At the same time, there was still a dull pain in her chin. She touched it with her hand. The large swelling was enough to prove that the opponent was really ruthless.

Then Xia Ren, Liang Wan, and Liu Xiuxiu also woke up one after another.

"Ah! What is this?"

Liu Xiuxiu exclaimed.

Three white insect cocoons as tall as one person were torn apart, and three people staggered out from inside.

"You finally woke up!"

A support staff member surnamed Tang, a bald man in a black suit who is also a judge of the Arbitration Court, stepped forward and said in surprise.

The door to the toilet was open, and there were several people wearing chemical protective suits standing outside.

"When I rushed over, I found that you were all wrapped in this white cocoon. Because I couldn't find the relevant records, I didn't dare to act rashly. I was applying to the higher authorities to dispatch investigators to handle it. Now it seems that I need to withdraw the application. ”

Judge Tang's tense face was obviously relaxed.

"Don't you need to wear a chemical protective suit?"

Xia Ren looked at the people outside the door.

Judge Tang explained: "The memory erasing spray dissolves very quickly and is basically ineffective after being exposed to air for three minutes, so don't worry. As for the school matter, although it is a bit troublesome, we will still handle it."

"There's another cocoon here."

Liang Wan looked at the corner of the toilet.

"There is another one in the toilet cubicle next to it." Judge Tang added duly.

The person in the cubicle is Cheng Shuangshuang, so the person in the corner should be Xu Qiang.

"You guys should exit first."

Xia Ren clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles.

Judge Tang guessed that the matter was probably not over yet, so he obediently led the few people outside without asking a word.

People in the logistics department are not like investigators. They should try to have as little contact with contamination as possible.

Cheng Shuangshuang finished vomiting, wiped the corners of his mouth and walked out of the cubicle, not daring to look at Xia Ren.

Liu Xiuxiu glanced between the two of them suspiciously, always feeling that there was an ulterior secret.

"You should go out too."

Xia Ren said to Cheng Shuangshuang.

After all the irrelevant people had left, Xia Ren picked up the crowbar and opened the cocoon, revealing Xu Qiang inside.

Seeing his current appearance, the three of them couldn't help but look sideways.

Perhaps the Shoggoth pollution in the dream was too strong. Compared to when he entered the dream, Xu Qiang's appearance was even more terrible. His eyes had disappeared, and there were huge purple lumps all over his body. He couldn't even see his limbs. Not to mention facial features, he didn't even have a face, his whole body was like an ugly tumor.

Between the sarcomas, green pus continued to seep out, which was extremely miserable.

"That's disgusting."

Xia Ren wanted to get rid of him with a crowbar, but he still had questions to ask.

"Have you ever seen a straw rope?"

I had no hope that he would be able to answer, but what I didn't expect was that Sarcoma actually spoke, but his voice was like a baby's cry, vague and extremely weak.

“I’ve seen….”

Was it really because of the hanging rope that he became infected?

Xia Ren was a little confused.

"I'm... so unwilling... to be... bullied when I was alive, and then... bullied me... after my death."

At the last moment, perhaps because his sanity was on the verge of collapse, Xu Qiang's IQ began to decline and he began to confide his grievances to the enemy.

"He has reached his limit. I have seen this look on an infected body that devours its own kind. That guy also became like this after eating too much."

But Xu Qiang had no chance of devouring his own kind. The answer was obvious.

Liang Wan asked with a serious expression: "Who turned you into this? The ability just now is simply not what an infected person like you can do."

Xia Ren hesitated for a moment and decided not to say anything.

As the builder of the dream, Xu Qiang might have seen the Shoggoth, but due to the darkness of the night, Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu could only see a rough outline, so it was okay.

"It's... a... man. He... said he would let me... take revenge, and then... said... I... wasn't enough and couldn't bear it... so he... let me... kill my parents. Try Give it a try.”

Xia Ren was a little surprised. There was really someone behind the scenes?

"Who is that man?" Liang Wan continued to ask.

"I... don't know, he's... a... spider."

"Spider? He is indeed an inexperienced person."

Liang Wan lowered her head and murmured.

Then she asked Xu Qiang a few more questions. Perhaps because he was too weak, the other party did not continue to answer, but kept talking about how wronged he was.

"Kill him."

Liang Wan said simply.

It's not sympathy, it can't be sympathy, it's just routine.

"etc."

Xia Ren quickly stopped her. This was an achievement point on the table. If he missed it, he would be so distressed that he couldn't sleep all night.

"I'll take care of the rest."

Xia Ren licked his lips.

"Well……"

Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu both looked at him with strange eyes.

"Then...okay."

They wisely walked out of the toilet and closed the toilet door tightly.

Only Xia Ren and Xu Qiang are left.

Lulim's Eye was activated, Xia Ren's eyeballs dissolved, and red blood beads continued to flow from the dark eye sockets.

Ice slavery!

He tried to control Xu Qiang and asked for some information, but unexpectedly, this attempt failed. Terrifying hallucinations appeared one after another in his mind, and his sanity was declining crazily.

[Warning, the host has been contaminated, and the current pollution value is 20/100. 】

He actually suffered a backlash!

"It seems like it's still not possible to deal with high-level infected bodies?"

Xia Ren quickly ended the effect, covered his painful head, and at the same time exchanged for a bottle of first-level anti-pollution liquid and drank it.

There was no way to get any more information, so he stretched out his tentacles, wanting to seal the opponent directly. However, looking at the appearance of the sarcoma and the green pus, he couldn't move his tentacles.

He felt awkward at the thought of having to retract Xu Qiang's tentacles back into his body later.

"By the way, I almost forgot that you still have this function."

Xia Ren weighed the crowbar in his hand and planned to use it as a power bank. After using it for a while, he would absorb the energy back. The crowbar did not dare to resist him.

"laugh!"

The crowbar was inserted into Xu Qiang's body, and the latter shrank quickly like a deflated balloon until it completely disappeared.

[Congratulations to the host, the Physics Holy Sword has been upgraded to Level 2! 】

"What?"

Xia Ren was dumbfounded.

"What about my achievement points? Spit it out!"

The tentacle rolled around the crowbar angrily, and the latter expressed an innocent emotion, saying that he didn't have any left.

"Wait a minute, it takes 500 points to upgrade the crowbar. Doesn't that mean that Xu Qiang just now is a type three infected person?"

How much pollution resistance can the three types of infectious agents exchange for?

Xia Ren's heart ached even more.

In this incident, he used a bottle of second-level anti-pollution fluid, and just now he used a bottle of first-level anti-pollution liquid. The total points were 800 points, but now they were all in vain.

Xia Ren was still grimacing until he walked out of the women's toilet.

Liu Xiuxiu kept her greeting in her mouth, thinking about the scene of him having a sarcoma. Sure enough, she still felt uncomfortable.

Thinking like this, Liu Xiuxiu decided to stay away from Xia Ren in the future.

After all, he had just eaten something grosser than shit in the toilet.

Liang Wan had the same idea.
