Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 948 Roni
"He...he seems to be saying, let's run away?" Soap pointed at the mutated survivor and said with some uncertainty.

"You heard me right." The pilot of the transport plane nodded vigorously, "He told me to run away, as far away from the ark as possible... Uh, what do you think?"

"What I, what I heard is different from yours." Roni murmured as she hurriedly got up from the ground, "I seem to hear another strange voice whispering in my ear...but I didn't hear it at all. I don't know what that voice is saying..."

Before Ronnie finished speaking, Soap, who was standing not far from her, suddenly jumped back a big step, turned his gun on Ronnie, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what is on your face?" What is it?!"

"My face?!" Ronnie froze for a moment, and reached out to touch her cheek. It was pitted, as if someone had splashed it with strong acid... More importantly, not only did she not feel any pain when her face became like this, she didn't even feel the slightest strange feeling, if it wasn't for If Soap sees it, she doesn't know when she will notice these changes.

When she took her hands away from her face, the flesh and blood on her face dripped down as if dissolving, and the corrupted tissues adhered to her palms with mucus. There are tentacles as small as small bugs wriggling.

"Are you infected?!" The giraffe's breathing became very rapid, "It must be because you had contact with this person! Damn it! I knew it! I knew it!"

He shouted hysterically, while stepping back step by step, the safety of the firearm in his hand has also been released, as long as the index finger on the trigger increases a little bit of strength, the active ammunition that has been loaded will roar out from the muzzle of the gun , penetrating into Ronnie's body.

Soap wanted his companion to calm down first, but the problem was that even he himself couldn't calm down at this moment—the flesh and blood on Ronnie's face began to fall off in large chunks after being touched by her own hand In some places, the white bones were already exposed, but she seemed to be unable to feel the pain, and stood there stupidly, without saying a word.

"You... don't you feel pain?" Soap tried to ask.

"It's too late." The clown shook his head, "The growths have not only invaded the body surface and throat, but also invaded the position of the brain... Even if I can instantly remove all the growths on his body now, and let the growths He is no longer growing, and he is already a vegetable. From the perspective of 'human', he is already dead, but his body organs are still alive for the time being."

What's more, the clown doesn't seem to be "infected" like Ronnie - he has much more direct contact with the survivors than Ronnie.

"Survivors...cough...cough...yes...but soon...there won't be...cough..." The survivor squeezed out almost word by word, "as for the enemy ……enemy……"

"Okay... well, then Ronnie, can you do anything?" The captain of the spear team flashed a look of unbearable eyes, walked quickly to the side of the clown, and said in the words of only the two of them, "I don't need you Save her...you...you just need to treat her as a test subject. It would be best if you can find a way to make her recover or stop the infection. If there is no way, you can even dissect her...at least, we Gotta figure out what's going on."

"Persist...?" Ronnie turned her head slowly, and said to the team leader with her rotten face, with more than half of her face exposed, "I...I don't I know... I... can't..."

"Ronnie, keep calm! Don't move, there will be a solution, there will be a solution." The captain of the spear team did not point a gun at his medical soldier, whether it was the survivor or Ronnie. , none of them seemed to show any aggressiveness, and their sanity remained clear, which was considered a blessing in misfortune.

"I'm fine." The Clown said calmly. "I have to emphasize again, it's not the contact with the survivor that caused this symptom, but the whispers that Ronnie mentioned just now."

When their group of students, led by the professor, walked into the cold storage where the general teacher was stored, the strong smell of corpses made several girls bend over and vomit on the spot.

"The erosion is too deep for any effort to be worthwhile," replied the clown.

"Forget about them," said the Joker.

"Clown, back away quickly!" The team leader said to the clown again, "Check your body to see if you have similar symptoms."

According to the knowledge in the book, Ronnie knew that it should be a phenomenon called "Giant View" (please don't search cheaply, the picture will cause strong discomfort), but when other students were avoiding it, she came along I went up and watched the staff members open the coffin cabinet where the "explosion" occurred.

Most of the general teachers are soaked in formalin solution, even if they are not frozen, they will not be easily spoiled, but some new general teachers, in order to allow students to dissect the remains that are closest to the state of the living , They will not be treated with preservatives, and the preservation depends entirely on freezing. Not long after the power outage, these remains began to rot.

Roni is a courageous girl. Not only did she not vomit, but she even took the initiative to help the professor and the staff move the coffins stored in the general teacher... When one of the coffins was being carried, there was an explosion version The loud noise, but fortunately the lid was locked, did not affect the students and faculty who were moving the cabinets.

That word was stuck in his throat all the time, and he couldn't say it. Ignoring the warning eyes of the squad leader and Soap, "Joker" walked up to check it out, and then said: "His throat and mouth are dead. Clogged by accretions, unable to speak."

The clown glanced at him sideways, walked up to Ronnie without saying a word, squatted down, and looked straight into her eyes.

If you want to use one word to describe the current state of the squad leader, then "destroyed" is definitely the most appropriate - this side has not had time to ask the awakened survivors about what happened on the ark, but on the other side, his subordinates suddenly What's more, it was an "emergency situation" that couldn't be delayed at all, which made it difficult for the team leader to make a decision for a while.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ronnie, if you can persist, please persist first. I'll finish dealing with the survivor's matter, then..."

She suddenly recalled the time when she was just admitted to the medical school. At that time, human anatomy was a compulsory course for every freshman. The failure caused the power outage of the entire academy for fifteen days.The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and during that time the backup power supply of the cold storage was sent to the logistics department for routine maintenance...

"Ark...Ark..." The survivor turned his back to the sky, his body twitched one after another, he seemed to want to look up at the night sky, but his face was covered by growths, and his eyes couldn't see anything at all. "The Ark is finished... No one can live... Don't come back... Let the people outside... Don't come back... Everyone will die... No, it's more terrible than death..."

"It is possible, but the growth rate of the growth is much faster than the speed of removal, and I just discovered that cutting the growth will stimulate it and accelerate its growth... Just like the fine hair on a human body, the more you shave, the faster it will grow. The faster it grows, the thicker it becomes... It takes a lot of nutrients and energy to produce these growths, and if it speeds up, it will be squeezed dry and die."

That kind of touch is exactly the same as when she touches her face with her hands now...

It's hard to describe the things in the coffin, but for some reason, Ronnie didn't feel scared. Instead, she put on rubber gloves for dissection, and reached out to touch it like a ghost.

"What degree of erosion? Are you... referring to infection?" The team leader was a little puzzled, "Then can you figure out how this disease is contagious? Even if it can't be cured, we have to know... Otherwise, you don’t even know how you got infected.”

Ronnie, with dull eyes, shook her head very slightly.

"Very well, the auditory system is still functioning normally... But this may be one of the reasons why you have become like this." The clown whispered, "Can you still hear the whispers now? Are those voices Hovering in your head all the time, lingering, as if deeply engraved into your brain?"

"Everyone! Stay away from the survivors and Ronnie! Also, don't have any contact with each other!" The squad leader ordered loudly, although the "clown" has repeatedly emphasized that this symptom is not contagious through contact, but Ronnie is exactly the same as The appearance of the survivor who had had direct contact with him made the clown's words less convincing.

As a medical student, Roni knows very well that not feeling pain is far worse than being able to feel pain, because it means that the nerves in her face have been completely necrotic... Those rotting tissues don't seem to come from a living person. The peeling off of the body is more like coming from a corpse.

"You, can you hear me?" The clown stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Ronnie. Ronnie's eyeballs didn't follow the finger. As for the focus of the perspective—the entire eyeball had become extremely cloudy , Even the pupils and the whites of the eyes can't be distinguished clearly, how can the focus of the eyes be seen?
Just when everyone thought that Ronnie was completely hopeless, she suddenly nodded slowly.

"Damn it!" The captain of the spear team stomped his foot on the ground angrily, looked at the survivor who was still twitching, but his whole body was gradually invisible, and then turned his head to look at the kneeling kneeling survivor. On the ground, a bewildered Ronnie asked, "Is he... really hopeless?"

To be precise, it was one-eyed—one of Ronnie's two eyeballs had rotted and fell out of the eye socket, and the other eyeball had become like a cloudy glass ball, barely It is embedded in the eye socket, and I don't know if it still has visual function.

"I don't care what I come into contact with or whispers. Before I figure out the cause of the matter, I must put an end to all behaviors that may cause the infection of the symptom!" The team leader sternly said, "That survivor, if you can hear me say If so, tell me, what happened on the ark! Also, what is the mutation symptom?"

After waiting for several seconds, Ronnie nodded again.

"Is it hopeless?" the captain of the spear team asked.

"I know something happened to the Ark, but you have to tell me what happened so that I can send the information back to the various bases and let the directors of the bases make a judgment, do you understand?" The captain said loudly, "Tell me, What is the situation on the ark now, are there any survivors? Which areas have the enemy captured?"

"Then he can't live now!" The team leader said anxiously, at this time he no longer cared about whether his words were unpleasant, "Even if he dies, at least let him finish his sentence first! You know how much information there is. Is it important? This may be related to the lives of thousands of people!"

"Can't you forget it?" The clown seemed to sigh, and it seemed that everyone had misheard... He stood up, drew out his pistol, and put the muzzle of the gun on Ronnie's celestial cap.

But what frightened Ronnie the most was that no matter what happened to her body, she couldn't feel anything - she tried to reach out and pick the rotten flesh off the bone, but she couldn't feel any pain at all. ...as if it wasn't her own body.

She was soon unable to speak, for even her tongue was rotting away, a hole the size of a fist had formed in her throat, and the rotting tongue rolled out of the hole in an indistinct mass of flesh. ,Dropped on the floor.

"If there is a way to save it, I will." The clown replied.

This time, Ronnie shook her head.

"I told you, this kind of thing is very close to 'meme'." The clown pointed to his head with the other finger that did not hold the gun, "Cognition is pollution."

"Then...then can you help him clean up those accretions?" the captain asked, although this was completely contrary to his last order, but at this moment, only the clown can complete this matter.

"puff!"

The sound of the pistol with a silencer was very dull. Ronnie's body was tilted to one side, and she fell to the ground. A mixture of brains and blood slowly flowed out from the hole above her head. If you look at these things, you will find that her brain is a strange gray-black color, and there are a lot of flocculent fibers mixed in it.

"Captain... shall we continue?" A soldier of the Spear Squad couldn't help asking.

"The task has not been completed yet, so of course we have to continue." The team leader said without hesitation, "And, the survivor also said that there are still people alive on the ark."
