Chapter 98: Don’t Kill Me and Keep It for the New Year?
Molly once introduced that Dr. Liu Nian'an had a deep knowledge in the field of virology many years ago.
Molly even said half-jokingly and half-seriously that if the virus in Liu Nian'an's laboratory leaked out, it might trigger a biochemical crisis that would spread to the whole world.
Liu Nian'an smiled mysteriously, and did not continue the discussion on this too professional topic.
Ten minutes later, everyone packed up their equipment and set off again.
Yi Lin also offered to help Dr. Feng Manqing carry the heavy incubator equipment.
At this moment, there was a commotion in front of the team.
Taking a closer look, it was Wang Bing and Ju Xiuyuan who had quarreled.
When Yi Lin approached, Ju Xiuyuan pointed at Wang Bing with red ears and angry eyes: "No! I don't agree! You are only responsible for protecting the investigation team, and have no right to make decisions about the investigation team's actions!"
With a gun on his back, Wang Bing said coldly: "The situation is urgent, we must leave the no-man's land as soon as possible!"
"But we only observed one location! The data collected is far from enough!"
"Dr. Ju, this is an emergency! I must be responsible for your safety!" Wang Bing said in a stubborn tone, not giving an inch.
"But we must be responsible for the future of mankind!" Ju Xiuyuan roared.
Wang Bing was slightly moved when he heard this.
For a while, the two fell into a stalemate.
No one can convince anyone.
Yi Lin pulls Mo Li to her side, and asks the whole story of the dispute between Wang Bing and Ju Xiuyuan.
"I see."
At this moment, Yi Lin also understood the reason for the dispute between the two sides.
Wang Bing believed that an enemy of unknown origin appeared in the investigation of no man's land. In order to ensure the safety of the investigation team, he decided to terminate this investigation and asked to return the same way.
But because Wang Bing concealed part of the facts, Ju Xiuyuan believed that Wang Bing was making a fuss over a molehill, insisted on continuing the investigation, and refused to give up halfway.
So the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Erin thought for a moment.
Then he whispered a few words in Molly's ear.
When Molly heard this, she first glanced at Yi Lin in surprise, but after a few seconds, she came out.
"Dr. Ju is right." Molly said calmly: "The investigation team's behavior, the field team has no right to intervene."
Molly's speech made everyone quiet instantly.
Wang Bing frowned, for a moment he couldn't figure out what Molly's sudden rebuttal meant.
But two seconds later, Wang Bing looked at Shang Yilin, and suddenly seemed to understand something, so he kept silent.
Under everyone's attention, Molly continued: "But don't forget, I am the nominal captain of the investigation team, and I have the right to decide the investigation team's next move."
Ju Xiuyuan's eyes were fixed, and he subconsciously said, "Hmph, even you..."
Molly smiled slightly, and interrupted Ju Xiuyuan's next words: "Professor Ju, listen to me first."
"I believe that since everyone entered the no-man's land regardless of the danger, they definitely have their own reasons."
"So I don't think whoever makes the decision alone is going to be able to convince the crowd. I think we can make the decision in a fairer way."
The others were taken aback when they heard this.
"It's very simple..." Molly smiled slightly, and stretched out two tender fingers: "Vote."
After a pause, Molly added: "The seven members of the investigation team made a vote. If you agree to continue the investigation, please raise your hand. The minority obeys the majority."
Ju Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Yes, let's do it this way."
Wang Bing also nodded expressionlessly.
The investigation team consisted of seven people.
Including Yi Lin.
Wang Bing was clear-eyed.
Understood.
This is the way Yi Lin came up with, bypassing the stubborn Ju Xiuyuan and letting the investigation team go home by voting.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a member of the special group, and this method is much softer than Wang Bing.
- Social society.
Since Ju Xiuyuan agreed to vote to determine the investigation team's next move, even if the result of the final vote was not in line with Ju Xiuyuan's wishes, the stubborn old man probably wouldn't be able to back down.
Could this move be the legendary soldier who surrenders without fighting?
Wang Bing nodded secretly.
But Wang Bing was a little entangled in his heart, what method should he use to give Yi Lin a compliment, so as to be both subtle and clear?
Wait online.
--urgent.
...
"I agree to continue the investigation."
Yi Lin smiled and raised her hand.
Ju Xiuyuan, Feng Manqing, Mo Li, Yi Lin.
In the investigation team, four people raised their hands one after another.
Agreed to move on and investigate No Man's Land.
"Why, why?"
Wang Bing didn't believe it.
Ju Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a chuckle, "Don't underestimate our determination to study people. Since we dared to form a survey team to explore the no-man's land, we have already had a certain awareness."
Wang Bing frowned.
He actually didn't ask Ju Xiuyuan what he said.
It was Yi Lin.
Ju Xiuyuan didn't know that Yi Lin was the real decision maker of this team.
Ju Xiuyuan didn't know who the person their field team really needed to protect.
Even if the rest of the investigation team insists on going their own way, as long as Miss Molly insists on returning, Wang Bing doesn't mind being the villain.
It's just that he didn't understand why both Yi Lin and Mo Li chose to move on.
And it seems that Molly's decision was also inspired by Yi Lin.
For the remaining three members of the investigation team who did not raise their hands to vote, Liu Nian'an looked embarrassed, and the other two were ashamed.
Ju Xiuyuan's eyes quickly swept across the faces of Liu Nian'an and the others.
There was no reproach, and no harsh words were said.
Just sighed softly: "I hope you are worthy of your knowledge, and don't forget the pride you once had."
The three of Liu Nian'an lowered their heads silently.
Ju Xiuyuan carried the heavy equipment and came to Yi Lin.
"Young man, I see you differently."
Ju Xiuyuan's attitude is completely different from not long ago.
Yi Lin knew that this was just a beautiful misunderstanding.
But he couldn't explain it.
He had no choice but to accept Ju Xiuyuan's praise.
The team started again.
After all, they're not children anymore, and everyone didn't take the dispute just now to heart...at least it didn't look like it on the surface.
Wang Bing, Ju Xiuyuan, and Mo Li gathered together, looked at the map, and discussed the next observation point.
If two observations are too close together, the data does not make much sense.
But if he went too far all at once, Wang Bing also had concerns.
After all, the physique of this group of scholars is definitely not as good as that of the secret service team, and they cannot travel too far in one go.
"Here it is!"
Wang Bing pointed to a spot on the map.
Displayed on the map is a "text" icon.
represents the school.
The school is about five kilometers away from the city square, neither near nor far. After discussing with several other authoritative experts, Ju Xiuyuan also agreed to this route.
"Shouldn't you tell me what's going on now?"
Molly and Yi Lin walked behind the team, Molly finally found a chance and asked in a low voice.
Yi Lin thought about it, and after weighing the pros and cons, she still didn't hide anything.
"The other party has my kind."
"Same kind?" Molly immediately realized: "You mean..."
"Someone used a special ability on me just now... I sensed it for the first time, but I didn't find anyone within the range of 21 meters. There are three possibilities..."
Yi Lin slowly analyzed: "First, after using the ability, the opponent quickly left my perception range within a very short time."
"Second, the scope of the opponent's abilities is far beyond my perception..."
"third……"
Before Yi Lin could explain, Molly thought of what Yi Lin said next, and blurted out: "He's among us!"
"wrong!"
Erin shook her head.
"Why?" Molly's expression was slightly startled.
Yi Lin laughed dumbfounded: "Do you think this is a reasoning game? The murderer is among us?"
"..."
Seeing that Molly clenched her pink fist tightly, Yi Lin seemed to be on the verge of going crazy, so she stopped being a joke, and explained in a low voice: "For example, in those retro games, magicians need to consume blue bars to cast spells, right?"
"Uh...and then?"
"Our 'ability' can be understood in this way, and it also needs to consume some kind of 'blue bar'." Yi Lin tried to explain to Molly without breaking the taboo: "There are 13 people in this team, and there are so many people in the other party. Don't pick, but chose me to use the ability, why do you think?"
Molly is not a fool either, after Yi Lin's vague description, Molly also roughly understood the situation.
"I see. The third possibility you want to talk about is... Is there a ghost among us?"
Erin nodded.
"But I still don't understand why you can be sure that they cannot be your kind?"
Yi Lin smiled slightly: "I can't be 100% sure... Let's talk about the investigation team first. If it were you, after you know that one plus one equals two, you would spend a lot of energy on researching why one plus one equals two." Two?"
Molly thought carefully for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes, one plus one equals two is just a mathematical answer. In the field of biology, two animals will produce offspring, not equal to two... …others are physics, philosophy, quantum mechanics, theology…”
"Stop! I'm not having an academic discussion with you right now!" Yi Lin got dizzy and quickly stopped the topic: "Anyway, it's unlikely, so stop thinking about it."
In fact, Yi Lin's meaning is also very simple.
As an apostle, knowing that the "tower" is a supernatural existence, naturally he will not be foolish to study the origin of the tower.
Because that doesn't make sense.
It's better to find a way to strengthen yourself so that you can survive the next trial.
As for the field team, Yi Lin felt that it was unlikely that they were apostles.
The apostle has a brand engraved on his body, which cannot be erased, and he will know it as soon as he takes off his clothes.
As a senior apostle, Zhao Yulong couldn't possibly place the apostle in the field team of the "Special Team". This point is not difficult to guess.
[Appraisal] This skill is not very rare, Yi Lin has also heard of it.
[Appraisal] is an auxiliary skill, and does not consume much psionic energy, but it still consumes.
And there is also the problem of skill success rate.
It is impossible for the other party to smash all 13 people in a round of identification, which is unrealistic.
In other words, through some means, the other party learned that he and Molly had left the team, and silently eliminated the four enemies, so it attracted the other party's attention.
The release of a single skill requires vision. The opponent should have shared the vision with someone in the team through some kind of skill or prop, and used the identification technique on Yi Lin.
Molly nodded: "I understand. If there is an inner ghost among us, if we go back the same way, we will undoubtedly hit the other party's arms, and instead let them have time to prepare and ambush... It is better to continue to move forward and transform Passive to active... Huh? I suddenly discovered that you are much smarter than I thought?"
Yi Lin: "..."
"Then your next plan should be to find a way to find the ghost?"
On the contrary, Yi Linbiao looked at Molly strangely: "Aren't you afraid?"
Molly waved her hand nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, isn't there you?"
Yi Lin's expression was slightly startled.
The corner of Molly's mouth curled up: "If I die, I'll be a ghost and I won't let you go! Before I die, I will kick you to death. It seems that I am not so afraid when I think of being able to hold you together. gone."
Molly's words seemed easy, but from Yi Lin's perspective, Molly's petite back trembled slightly, as if she had betrayed her true feelings.
Yi Lin remained silent, stretched out her hand and gently hugged Molly's shoulder.
Molly didn't refuse either, she just raised her head, staring at Yi Lin with bright eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and said in a low voice, "Are you picking on me?"
"Don't worry, there is no such thing." Yi Lin comforted with a smile.
Molly suddenly had the urge to kick the soul to death.
But with such an interruption, Molly found herself feeling much more at ease.
"By the way, if you find out the ghost, what will you do with it?"
"?"
When Yi Lin slowly made a question mark...
Molly: "?"
"What do you mean by how to deal with it?"
"It means literally? Don't you understand human language?" Molly stared.
"How else can I deal with it?" Yi Lin's tone was calm and gentle: "Kill."
Molly's pupils shrank slightly.
"Don't kill... keep it for the New Year?"
Erin asked back.
...
...
Yi Lin asked about the situation of everyone in the investigation team in detail.
Excluding Molly and Yi Lin, there are currently five suspicious targets of the inner ghost.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Yi Lin added the five members of the field team to the list of suspects.
After all, although they are not apostles, the possibility of inner ghosts still exists.
As long as we are human, we have weaknesses.
As long as there is a weakness, there is a possibility of being bought.
This... is not surprising.
"Do you have a goal?" Molly couldn't help asking after telling Yi Lin about everyone's situation.
"Hmm... I have some clues, but in order to prevent your eyes from betraying you, I decided it's better not to tell you for the time being." Yi Lin chuckled.
"...Stingy." Molly knew that what Yi Lin said was true, but she was still a little upset.
On the flat road, there are rusty cars parked here and there. In the gray fog, the once prosperous city is full of infiltrating corruption, without any signs of life.
A completely dead city.
"This is death..."
Yi Lin narrowed her eyes, staring at the end of the gray mist, the looming giant tower.
Tower of Death.
This is the power of "it".
It is also the mighty power possessed by the "Knight of the Apocalypse" born from the "Tower".
Wang Bing walked in front without saying a word. There was an attack ahead, and Wang Bing didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, and he never put down the gun in his hand.
Several other special forces of the field service group surrounded the investigation team with professional tactical layout, and marched slowly, which seemed to be lurking in the jungle.
Including Ju Xiuyuan, the rest of the investigation team didn't think too much. After all, their knowledge was limited. They just carried their luggage and rushed to the next observation point. Is it useful.
Wang Bing actually had no idea in his heart, he didn't know if it was a mistake in decision-making for the team to continue advancing into the depths of the gray fog.
He... wasn't sure.
The closer the no-man's land is to the direction of the "tower", the thicker the gray fog will be. If it hadn't been for the research showing that no isolation measures can isolate this layer of gray fog, Wang Bing would have liked to wrap himself in ten or eight layers of protective clothing , to make yourself feel more secure.
suddenly.
A special soldier of the special group walking in front of the team grunted, clicked, and the bullet was loaded.
Almost at the same time, gunshots rang out, bang bang——
The Wang Bing at the front of the team suddenly fired a few shots into the depths of the gray fog.
The sudden gunshots caused commotion again, and the rest of the investigation team squatted on the ground almost subconsciously.
As the saying goes, if you stand tall, you are more likely to be hit by bullets.
bang bang bang—
Only the sound of Wang Bing's guns echoed on the road.
"Fuck!"
Wang Bing cursed fiercely, looked back at his comrades behind him, and said in a low voice, "It's all right."
Yi Lin frowned, and with a thought, she released Bai Xiaoyi directly.
Bai Xiaoyi chuckled lightly, and happily escaped into the gray mist.
During the turmoil, and with Bai Xiaoyi as a spirit body, she was already indistinct, so no one noticed Yi Lin's move.
"what happened?"
Yi Lin stepped forward, released Bai Xiaoyi, and immediately spread her perception.
However, Yi Lin did not find any hidden enemies around.
At least within 21 meters, no.
Seeing Yi Lin and Mo Li approaching, Wang Bing lowered his voice and said, "There is an enemy attack! Erzhu is injured!"
"Collect! Everyone gather in formation!"
After Wang Bing gave instructions to the others with the communicator, he squatted down to check Erzhu's injury.
"Captain, I'm fine."
Er Zhu looked like a dark-skinned, simple-looking young man, he grinned, covered his hands, and blood was flowing between his fingers.
"have a look."
Yi Lin opened Er Zhu's wound and saw a sharp knife mark across her palm, and blood flowed out, but it didn't look like a fatal wound.
After the simple bandaging treatment, Er Zhu did not change his face, and picked up the gun again.
"Leader, look..."
While the rest of the investigation team was still panicking, Wang Bing took the opportunity to ask Yi Lin about his next move with a sullen face.
Although it was a question, deep down in his heart, Wang Bing still wanted to leave this damn no man's land as soon as possible.
Yi Lin lowered her head and didn't say much.
Following the direction where Er Zhu was attacked, Yi Lin found a small knife from the ground.
He quietly put the knife into his hand with the power of thought, held the handle, and squinted his eyes to observe.
While making small movements, Yi Lin also briefly asked about the accident.
Just now, a knife flew out of the gray mist without warning, catching Er Zhu off guard.
Yi Lin: "Flying knife?"
Wang Bing: "Ancient martial arts?"
"Is this the legendary flying knife?"
Molly came over and held out her hand curiously——
"Wait, don't move."
Yi Lin inadvertently met Er Zhu's dull eyes.
Because Er Zhu's skin was dark, Yi Lin didn't notice it for a while, but when Er Zhu's lips also turned black, he finally noticed something was wrong.
This knife is poisonous!
Toxic!
"Uh uh uh--"
Almost the second after Yi Lin yelled, Erzhu suddenly twitched violently, and fell straight on the ground.
He turned his eyes upwards, spit out pink foam from his mouth, strangled his neck in pain with both hands, and made a high-pitched wheezing sound from his throat, as if it was difficult to breathe.
With a wave of Yi Lin's palm, Yi Lin sent the poisonous flying knife directly into the distance.
Stay away from this place.
- Can't touch it.
"That's right! Let Dr. Han come here!"
Yi Lin suddenly remembered that there was an intellectual female doctor named Han Bingbing in the investigation team, and she was a doctor of medicine.
"Quick! Dr. Han! Come!"
Han Bingbing was wearing loose and easy-to-walk clothes, with a mole on the corner of his mouth, showing the intelligence of a mature woman. But at this moment when she came in front of Er Zhu, her face was also slightly pale, and she was quite frightened by this series of changes.
When Han Bingbing came to Erzhu, Erzhu had already lost his breath.
Mydriasis.
Han Bingbing was about to roll up his sleeves to give Er Zhu CPR, but was stopped by Yi Lin.
"It's useless, he is poisoned."
Wang Bing told Han Bingbing the general situation.
"Poisoned?"
Still in shock, Han Bingbing had no choice but to examine Erzhu's body. Of course, she was not a forensic doctor, and she couldn't make a professional judgment without the conditions.
But after briefly inspecting Er Zhu's body, she frowned, and her tone was 70% sure: "The cause of death should be acute respiratory muscle paralysis and acute pulmonary edema... The nature of this toxin is a bit like neurological snake venom, but this Very toxic."
Erin stood up.
Take a few steps forward.
away from the public's sight.
A white figure silently merged into Yi Lin's body.
After Bai Xiaoyi floated around, under the shared view, Yi Lin also obtained the surrounding information.
Nobody.
Yi Lin released her spirit body immediately.
But still can't find the trace of the other party.
There are only two possibilities, the enemy apostle's agility attribute is very high.
The second is that his distance is beyond Yi Lin's search range.
Either way, it's tricky.
The other party was like a poisonous snake lurking in the gray mist, hunting its prey unhurriedly.
When the prey was not paying attention, the poisonous fangs were revealed just now.
"It's a little troublesome..."
Yi Lin had a headache.
An apostle with a poisonous throwing knife...
It seems that I have never heard of this character.
It shouldn't be too famous.
In other words, not too difficult to deal with.
But in the geographical location of the gray fog in no man's land, the opponent's ability became very difficult.
The flying knife shouldn't be very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't just cut such a shallow wound on Erzhu's palm.
And if that flying knife apostle had confidence in his own flying knife, he wouldn't use a poisonous but practical way of killing people.
Cautious, unscrupulous, insidious, shameless.
Yi Lin silently put a few labels on the other party.
