Chapter 96 The little monster who has been following me
After the tsunami ended, it started to rain again.
9.4%, which is the proportion of remaining land area.
This number has shrunk by 0.3% compared to a week ago, which sounds very small.
Countless coastal cities, countless coastal buildings, and countless displaced lives are all included in this cruel number.
1.73 million square kilometers, corresponding to this 0.3%.
Tang Rou looked up at the sky and felt that there seemed to be some pattern to the rain.
Seemingly irregular things must have some kind of foreshadowing. The sudden accumulation of rain may cause monsters to spread and bloodshed to increase.
After coming out of the treatment center, Tang Rou went to Area D. She originally wanted to sneak into Xiao Ning's previous office to take a look, but she didn't expect to see Aslan in the underwater tunnel in Area D.
The other person had black circles under his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept well, and he was sitting on the edge of the steps.
Not far behind her, an ugly D-class experimental subject was hidden in a patch of algae, looking at her back with a pair of dark eyes.
"Did you watch the news? A few sea monsters crawled out of the coastal area, but they didn't come this way..." Aslan saw Tang Rou from a distance, waved to her, and shared some gossip.
"Our place is obviously the only way for sea monsters to enter the city, but they didn't attack us and took a detour to the city."
Tang Rou looked at the dark circles under her eyes and asked in surprise, "You must not have slept, right?"
"I fell asleep and woke up again." Aslan smacked his lips, "Several nearby business districts were damaged. The rescue team sent by the military in the middle of the night yesterday... What happened to your neck?"
Tang Rou turned her head, her bones cracking, "It must be a stiff neck."
They walked along the underwater tunnel and found that the entrance to each area was under control. Especially at the gate, there were armed security officers stationed.
He was wearing rubber boots on his feet and rubber protective gloves on his hands, which was very strange.
Tang Rou was confused, "What's going on?"
"We are capturing an escaped experimental subject. It is said to be an electric eel that was downgraded in area S some time ago."
Tang Rou got goosebumps, and a chill ran down her back, as if she had also been shocked.
She recalled that the electric eel entered her office during the level 4 alert and was later poisoned by the jellyfish ribbon. She did not remember the rest of the incident. She only remembered that when she fell into coma and woke up, the electric eel was gone.
"What happened to that electric eel?" "It disappeared. 23 corpses were found in the synesthesia laboratory. They were electrocuted to death. The method was cruel and the carbonization was extremely serious... It is said that the electric eel upgraded independently and is extremely dangerous."
This is the news Aslan knows.
Unbeknownst to her, the coroner at the medical center was having a headache.
The ID cards of several corpses disappeared. Excessive carbonization turned the corpses into burnt black matter that shattered at the touch of a touch. No DNA could be found, and it was difficult to find out the identity for a while.
Although the power supply has been restored to the base, a large number of staff have not yet arrived due to traffic and various emergencies, making the investigation more difficult.
Moreover, before the monitoring failure, there were twenty-two people registered in the synesthesia laboratory, but now there are twenty-three corpses. Whose is the extra body?
When Tang Rou and Aslan were about to walk out of the underwater tunnel, she suddenly stopped and waved her hand towards the glass wall, "I'm leaving, clowns, don't follow me."
Tang Rou turned around and found that she was talking to the D-level experimental subject hiding in the algae.
"Look, that's it."
Aslan turned around and told Tang Rou, "These are the eight clowns who have been following me. After looking at them for a long time, they actually feel a little cute. I have fallen."
Tang Rou looked over, smiled and said, "I might have been a human before, don't say that."
After saying this, her heart suddenly sank, and she raised her eyes to stare at the monster.
Atherlan was still beside him and said, "Look, it's still following me. Isn't it because it's impressed by my beauty?"
Then he waved to the monster, "Stop following me, go back."
Tang Rou's hands and feet were cold, and scenes flashed through her mind.
The proud man was pinned to the ground, and the noble man was crying while staring at the screen of his mobile phone. Alienated data was displayed on the screen.
How can it be?
Xiao Ning is the proud son of heaven, it is impossible.
Aslan noticed that Tang Rou suddenly looked very bad, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Rou suddenly came back to her senses. Looking at her good friend who grew up together in front of her, her chest felt as heavy as if it were stuffed with cotton.
"I'm fine..."
No, something is wrong with her.
Tang Rou could hardly breathe.
She wanted to know what was in the rejection document from Xiao Ning's office, and she wanted to know what it was, so that the base had to conceal it even if it was silenced.
…
There were several heavy metal-defense container trucks parked outside Area S. Tang Rou received a notice that the departure date for S was set to go to the Hotdam Virus Center on Wednesday evening. During this period, they had time to tidy up.
However, this time the requirement was not to bring too many supplies, and at the same time several experimental subjects had to be brought to Hotdam together.
She was leaving in about two or three days. Tang Rou thought for a moment, turned on her phone, and connected to the surveillance system of the temporary laboratory.
The dark-haired young man maintained the same posture as last night, facing the wall and looking a little melancholy.
Tang Rou suddenly felt distressed. She recalled the posts she had read. When the owner was not at home, dogs left alone at home would often do nothing and lie on the ground and sleep obediently. This kind of quietness made people feel distressed.
When the owner is not at home, what they do most is wait for the owner to come back.
Someone once said that such dogs are most likely to suffer from depression. They cannot express themselves. Even if they are sad or lonely, they cannot express them in words and cannot convey that emotion to their owners.
Tang Rou looked at the shadow on the screen, quietly raised her hand and tapped, "Are you waiting for me?"
The next second, her fingers froze.
The originally quiet young man suddenly raised his head, revealing a beautiful and cold side face, and the strange feeling in Tang Rou's heart reappeared.
Could he see it? Impossible.
And... well, it's not that Tang Rou looks down on him, No. 17 always seems to be not very smart, so he shouldn't be that sharp.
…
In the makeshift laboratory, the young man with dark hair and dark eyes observed calmly and found that the camera seemed to have rotated its position.
He lowered his head and seemed to move his position inadvertently.
Move from one corner of the office to another.
Through the camera, Tang Rou was curious about what he was doing. She turned the camera and found that he had changed his position and was facing the wall in another corner.
"..." Why are you still facing the wall?
If anything seemed to be missing, the young man seemed to glance at the camera.
Then he lowered his head, folded his arms around himself, and huddled in the corner, looking even more melancholy.
Tang Rou couldn't help but feel sad, why does this child look so pitiful?
Suddenly, the young man shrank and fell to the ground with his eyes closed in pain.
Tang Rou was completely anxious, closed the screen and ran to the temporary laboratory.
