Chapter 26 Mutation
Something is wrong. Something is wrong.

Li Sheng was hiding under the bridge, his eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.

He applied medicated powder on his head and roughly sutured the wound with needle and thread to stop the bleeding. However, the ant guard hairs on his hands refused to fade away.

More than that, he could feel that the Insect Lord's erosion was further strengthening. Tendons, bones, blood vessels, and skin are all changing like insects.

tear-

The right thigh muscle continued to expand uncontrollably, directly bursting the jeans, and surging strength continued to surge up.

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

At the same time, the vision in his right eye became blurry and messy. Li Sheng took out his phone with his trembling left hand and turned on the camera. He could clearly see that the pupil in the orbit of his right eye was shaking rapidly, as if it was about to split.

Whether it’s a lawn pavement ant or a broadsword mantis, their eyes are compound eyes.
stop!

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

The heart suddenly stopped, the blood flow all over the body was stagnant, and the mutation trend on the right side of the body suddenly slowed down.

He used all his willpower to resist the constant dispersion of consciousness and bloodthirsty desire. After an unknown amount of time, the momentum of mutation finally subsided.

The mantis' arm bone blades and arm guard hairs slowly retracted, the thigh muscles returned to their original shape, and the pupils no longer trembled.

"call"

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

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

On the surface, he was greeting the other person, but in fact, he was making insinuations about the situation in the hospital. Sure enough, I heard the sirens in the background of the phone call.

It seems that the police or the special affairs bureau discovered the giant's body next to the flower bed and sealed off the scene to clean up the traces.

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

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

My current situation is completely abnormal, as if I have entered a new stage. He was not sure whether he would be able to withstand the next sudden mutation of his body.

There are currently about 5,000 public phone booths in Yin City. He found one of them and dialed the number of Changsun Yao who handed him the [World Nuclear Flat House] business card.

"Hey?"

"Hey," Li Sheng paused and considered his words, "Chenghua Community, Building 803, , I am that person."

This string of addresses is the address where the Insect Lord's infected body killed the couple last time. It is also the place where Li Sheng met Changsun Yao.

"Oh, it's you." Changsun Yao said with interest, "I thought you wouldn't get through this phone call."

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

"Okay, you pick the address."

"Lianhua North Road, Starbucks."

Li Sheng hung up the phone and headed for the target address. He did not rush into the coffee shop, but hid on the street corner and observed silently.

Ten minutes later, Changsun Yao came to the store, sat down by the window, and ordered a cup of coffee. Then Li Sheng walked into Starbucks and sat across from her.

Changsun Yao wore a white hoodie today, with a black coat on top and jeans underneath, looking like an urban white-collar worker.

"You are really cautious."

She looked at Li Sheng and saw that the tips of his fingers were smeared with 502 glue, and that he had the same face as a middle-aged man who had been killed by the Lord of Insects' infected experimental subjects before, but he was wearing sunglasses.

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

Changsun Yao took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code to order two cups of coffee. She chuckled and said, "You were afraid that I would be bad for you, so you chose to meet in front of the police station?"

"Feel sorry."

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

".The abominable fragments of the Lord of Insects."

Changsun Yao narrowed his eyes, leaned back, waved his hand and said: "Take it back. This thing is risky if it is exposed to the air."

She paused and said seriously: "Any act of buying or selling the fragments of divine evil is considered a felony in the territory of the Special Affairs Bureau. If you hand it over to them, there is a high probability of a cash reward of 500,000 yuan, plus a banner. And if you hand it over If you give it to other guilds and organizations, the price can be negotiated." "I have other fragments of divine evil in my hand."

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

"what is the problem."

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

"cough--"

Changsun Yao, who was sipping her coffee, almost choked. She looked at Li Sheng with wide eyes. After making sure that he was not joking, she frowned and said, "Do you mind if I use my spiritual sense to check?"

Spiritual Sense Detection is the most commonly used detection skill type among players.

Of course, for players who are not familiar with each other, using this ability rashly is like provocation, and they can easily start a fight if they disagree.

Li Sheng shook his head and let Changsun Yao open her palm and hover above the back of his hand.

A feeling of being spied on spreads from the back of his hand until it wells up in his heart. Li Sheng resisted the urge to retract his palm and tightened his expression.

After 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, the killing field contains infinite possibilities. 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, mixing the residue 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 hands."

"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 100 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, 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. Instinctively create 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. .”
