The man's mouth was wide open, and his breathing was rapid and difficult. Every time his chest rose and fell, a large amount of gray-white putrid juice gushed out from the fingers covering his neck.
Those golden and bright red eyes clearly fluctuated back and forth between dispersion and concentration, as if a malfunctioning lamp was on the verge of being completely extinguished.
"Ah,,,ah,,," the man made a painful sound. Standing at the entrance of the underground waterway, he became excited. For some reason, Trinya could feel this excitement, even joy. It felt like a few seconds.
In front of the clock, she heard approaching footsteps amidst the sound of rain, and knew subconsciously that someone was coming.
But the man's excitement and joy did not come from him. Trinya who looked over knew it very well. Because the man's eyes had an obvious target from the time he appeared to when he stood at the cross section.
Twisted tree root-like object.
Trinya was confused and didn't understand why she could know something about the man through observation in a very short period of time. For her, this was a very strange experience, as if everything about the man's emotions came naturally after he appeared.
appeared in the mind.
Is it because he has a color similar to that of twisted tree roots? Subconsciously, Trinya found a temporary answer. The man standing at the cross section, except for the gray-white rotten liquid gushing out from his neck, was full of holes.
Between the clothes, you can see the slightly sticky off-white skin underneath - whitened by the rain, and covered with transparent, sticky sugar water.
Trinya didn't know what she should do for a moment. Should she continue to call for help, or wait for the man's follow-up actions. The man's left hand was obviously a pistol, which frightened her. She suppressed her choking voice and her body.
Fear, panic and trembling from the cold.
But the man did not give her time to continue thinking. He only stayed at the cross-section for less than two or three seconds. The man, who was excited to see the twisted tree roots, jumped up on the spot and used great strength to move his body forward, trying to get there.
Above the twisted tree roots.
Trinya could only watch blankly, her mind suddenly thinking about what she should do after the man came to the root of the tree, when a dark red straight line suddenly shot out from the dark underground water, accurately penetrating and leaping through the tree.
The man in mid-air. Then, the underground waterway acted like a natural trumpet, bringing the roaring and explosive sound to her ears.
The trembling body contracted involuntarily, and Trinya's attention was immediately diverted to look at the underground sewer section. When her eyes returned through her will, the man in the air had already lost his strength, and also lost his entire head and most of his neck.
, even the hand holding the neck has missing fingers.
The corpse fell and hit the rainwater collected below, causing a large splash of turbid water. After half a breath, Trinya was sure that she saw a layer of slightly greasy and viscous gray-white juice spreading in the rainwater, and then
It quickly mixed with the rainwater.
Multiple footsteps came from the underground water again. Trinya bit her lip, not daring to make any sound. She moved her body with difficulty, trying to hide herself under the branches spreading around. There was no obvious movement yet, and the footsteps
The sound has reached the intersection.
It was three people, all holding firearms in their hands, Trinya was sure. She was very scared, but when she saw the signs belonging to the Minkfas City Defense Force on the three people, her fear and fear turned into a roar of joy: "Help!
Help me,,," the cry drowned out the rest of the words. He didn't get any response, only a mechanical and indifferent report of the situation.
"The third team reported that the target has been dealt with. Another root was found. The road collapsed and was exposed. We requested the fastest camouflage and isolation. There is a city resident alive. Can we activate the fourth command to proceed,,, etc.
Wait." The team leader among the three stood upright. When speaking into the communicator, his eyes had already fallen on Trinya. When he saw the left leg that had been penetrated, the command request was interrupted.
"Application for medical staff! Complete!"
,,,,,,
The period of time that Trinya lost her memory was after seeing the three people with the National Defense Force logo, and then a few breaths passed.
She could recall that after she called for help, the three of them stood at the intersection for a few seconds. Then, like the dead man, they jumped directly onto the twisted tree roots with incomprehensible jumping ability, causing a slight shaking feeling.
The three of them were all wearing very formal combat uniforms, with steel hats and glasses and armor, which Trinya had seen in newspapers and books. The squad leader showed a little enthusiasm when he approached, at least Trinya.
Ya remembered that the team leader asked him how he was doing and whether he felt uncomfortable anywhere, and told himself not to be nervous, but to relax as much as possible now, and that the medical staff would be there soon.
It's just that Trinya, with her female feelings and delicate observation, and a little bit of strange sensitivity, was very aware that the team leader who was approaching was focused on her injured leg. For her, including comfort
The words are more like standard template routines.
Trinya can't remember what happened after that. After the team leader approached, maybe the comforting words really worked. When the tense mind and body were relieved, she fell asleep naturally? Or did it happen later?
Something else?
Trinya didn't know that there was a gap in her memory at that time, and it was not a bad idea to think that she had completely passed out. The memory came back again when Trinya felt hot all over and had severe nausea in her stomach.
She opened her eyes suddenly and retched uncontrollably several times, accompanied by a violent heartbeat and rapid breathing. After a few seconds of relief, the slightly sour smell of the potion, the cool but not dazzling light, and the sound of walking footsteps entered her brain.
, so that the mind and body can be activated together.
"Doctor Punos! Patient No. 37 is awake!" A surprised voice sounded next to her. Trinya felt that the speaker was very close to her. She blinked her eyes with glare and finally managed to clear her sight.
When it is no longer fuzzy, the nausea in the stomach also decreases.
She raised her head slightly and looked forward, and found that she was in a simple tent-like ward, and the person speaking was a woman, right at the door, waving to the doctor who was walking away. She wanted to sit up, but suddenly
I found that I couldn't move my hands, feet, waist, chest, etc., my whole body. My clothes had already been taken off, and I was now tied to the hospital bed naked.
After struggling for a few times, Trinya was about to speak, but the woman at the door and Dr. Punos had already walked in, and their eyes wandered away from her.
"Dear young lady, don't be shy or worried. In my eyes, your body is just a human-shaped lump of flesh." Dr. Punos guessed Trinya's thoughts at the moment and spoke first, "I have seen a lot, and I am used to it.
"As he spoke, he looked at the woman on the side, "Adina, please prepare the test reagents, we have to do another test. The alliance is still waiting for our data results and hopes to have an answer as soon as possible. After the test,
We still need to continue to report the situation.”
"If there are no results and answers, will this place be abandoned?"
"Of course." Dr. Punos shrugged and replied, "It doesn't matter anyway. We are following Sister Kara. No matter where we go, we will do what we are doing now."
