Chapter 118 Infected... (First update! Please subscribe!)

Zhou Zhen noticed the movement and turned to look at Tao Nange. Seeing that Tao Nange's complexion was normal, but his breathing was slightly rapid, he turned to look directly ahead of him.

After being tense for a long time and suddenly relaxing, it is easy to have nightmares. If he wakes up Tao Nange now, it is likely that the other person will not be able to sleep for the rest of the way.

Thinking of this, he continued to drive. About half a minute later, Tao Nange suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

At the same time, whether it was an illusion or not, Zhou Zhen felt that his thinking seemed to have suddenly become very slow!

He was suddenly confused, glanced at Tao Nange, and said, "The road is still long, you can continue to sleep for a while."

Tao Nange glanced around and ignored his words. Instead, he took out Zhou Zhen's mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen skillfully, and started playing with the phone.

Zhou Zhen instinctively felt that something was not right, but his slow thinking prevented him from turning around.

The off-road vehicle continued to speed forward, and Tao Nange had already opened the "photo album" and began to appreciate the photos one by one.

However, when she saw that in the previous few photos, the originally empty dormitory corridor, with its elegant composition highlighting the figures of various beautiful girls, was now filled with weapon parts and ammunition, she suddenly frowned with dissatisfaction. eyebrow.

Fortunately, there were no changes to the subsequent photos, so she quickly continued browsing.

The off-road vehicle passes through this mountain of garbage and enters the real suburbs.

The road suddenly opened up on both sides, and you could see endless wilderness on either side.There is a gray mist in the distance, and there are thick shadows in the mist. I don't know if it is a high isolation wall or some other building.

Occasionally, one or two lonely houses flashed by in the open fields. The original farmland was gone. The soil was gray-red in color, with only sporadic weeds growing.

According to the radar, they needed to leave the road and drive directly into the wild.

Fortunately, the armored off-road vehicle has strong off-road performance. Zhou Zhen observed the position displayed by the radar, turned the steering wheel, got off the roadbed from a relatively gentle position, and drove towards the vast wilderness.

The off-road vehicle was visibly bumpy. Zhou Zhen looked intently at the road ahead, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ah...someone secretly filmed!!!"

Zhou Zhen was startled and immediately turned to look at Tao Nange.

Tao Nange held his mobile phone and was watching a video on the phone with great interest. In this video, a girl as pure as Jasmine with no makeup, wearing long wet hair and wrapped in a pink bear towel, with snow-white Her skin was slightly steaming, and she was walking out of the bathroom. She was holding a shark clip and was tying up her long hair. Suddenly she looked at the camera, showing a very shocked and angry look. After she exclaimed, she immediately Invite your roommates to catch the person taking the photo together.

This is one of the videos secretly shot by Chu Jingyan in the "photo album" of Zhou Zhen's mobile phone!

Zhou Zhen felt more and more something was wrong, but for some reason, his brain was very slow now and he just couldn't figure out what was wrong!

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhen shook his head and explained hesitantly: "This video was taken by Chu Jingyan and has nothing to do with me. I suspect that these videos and photos have something to do with the secret filming case of Binhai Art Institute related……"

Hearing this, Tao Nange finally began to reply: "This video was shot very well!"

"The biggest problem is that this is just a mobile phone, not a professional camera."

Tao Nange's tone and voice were a little different from before, but they gave Zhou Zhen a very familiar feeling.

He frowned and continued to think hard about what went wrong?

The off-road vehicle bumped forward in the wilderness, and the silhouette of the city slowly faded behind it.

Tao Nange watched one video after another.

After more than ten minutes of this, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly came from high in the distance!

The sound was like invisible water waves swaying in layers. Zhou Zhen was suddenly shocked and dizzy. When he looked up, he saw a huge black shadow, like a low-flying plane, flying above.

The black shadow seemed to be carved from obsidian. It was shaped like a golden eagle, but its body was covered with scales. It had a triangular head with at least twenty eyeballs. It screamed, emitted harsh sound waves, and flapped its wings. flight.

It's the infected!
Moreover, the energy intensity is terrifying!
Fortunately, the other party should not have noticed them at this height...

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of a camera shutter suddenly sounded in Zhou Zhen's ears. He looked back and saw that Tao Nan was holding a mobile phone and was taking pictures of the infected person in the sky.

However, the infected person was flying too fast, and the photos he took only showed a gray sky, so the capture was obviously not successful.

Tao Nange suddenly felt very dissatisfied. She threw down her phone and climbed into the back seat.

Quickly, she climbed onto the back seat, then tore open the middle seat, and through the torn seat back, pulled out the expensive high-power ultra-clear telescope from the trunk.

The plastic wrap and protective film of the telescope had not yet been torn off. Tao Nange put the entire express box on his knees, pulled off all the packaging with a few swipes, and after playing with it very skillfully, he quickly adjusted everything accessories, then raised the lens barrel and looked at the location where the infected person had just appeared, as if waiting for the infected person to appear again...

At this time, Zhou Zhen felt that not only was his thinking becoming slower and slower, but his mental state was also getting worse and worse. Some memories that seemed to be very important began to be forgotten bit by bit...

After a while, he suddenly became very confused. What was he thinking just now?
Ah!
Remember!

A wanderer named "Nie Lang" has information about "Digital Rain". He and Tao Nange are going to find Nie Lang and try to get the "Digital Rain"...

Suburbs of Tongfu City.

On the brown-red land, there is a drop-shaped lake embedded in it.

The lake is not deep, and the water is meandering. The remaining weeds are slowly swaying under the gray sky. You can imagine the beautiful scenery in the past when the flowers and trees were flourishing.

But at this moment, there is only desolate silence.

The buildings on the lakeside are scattered, and there are still a few half-drawn signboards on the dilapidated buildings. You can vaguely recognize the words "restaurant", "business hall", "hotel" and so on.

This was a tourist town before the accident, and the lake view rooms were very famous.

Nowadays, the buildings are empty, and the houses with different styles are also withering and dilapidated under the ravages of time.

In the northwest corner of the town, smoke and dust are flying. It has not yet completely settled. Amidst the devastation, all the nearby houses have been razed to the ground. A man who looks to be in his late 40s and [-]s with a straight face has his hands in his pockets and a cigarette in his mouth. , leaning against a modified armored off-road vehicle, looking calmly not far away.

This man has dark skin, rough skin that has been exposed to wind and sun for a long time. He is very thin and has extremely clear outlines. He has three old scars on his neck, like scratches from sharp claws. He is wearing a black T-shirt and a military green coat. Training pants, brown tactical boots, no expression on his face.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen people standing scattered. Some were holding guns and were quickly pulling the bolts and replacing bullets; some were slowly exhaling, and the wooden armor covering their bodies turned into a stream of light green. Light, in the light, dense numbers, formulas, symbols... surged rapidly and were quickly taken back into the body; some took out first aid kits, dug out potions, and injected themselves; some took out various medicines from the backpacks behind them. He gestured with the alloy knife to the dead infected person on the ground, and discussed in a low voice with his companions how to use the knife...

The infected person was about the same size as an ordinary person. The entire body was like silver without impurities. It was shaped like a standing jackal, with a red horn on its head, five eyes, and serrated claws.

There are traces of chainsaws everywhere on the collapsed building debris.The infected person is now evenly cut into five pieces, and each piece of the body is still twitching slightly. However, the energy detected by the energy detection equipment has leveled off, and there is no sudden jump anymore.

This is an infected person who has just been hunted!
The smoke filled the air and blurred the face of the man in the black T-shirt. He suddenly said, "Okay."

"If you can eliminate an infected person in the [progressive stage], your test is considered to have passed."

"I'll give you two hours to recover the 'digital energy'. After two hours, set off immediately!"

Hearing this, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and most of them immediately sat down on the spot. Only two members took out their alloy knives and stepped forward after asking for permission from the others, and quickly cut off each organ from the infected person. into special metal containers.

Everyone took the time to rest and took out dry food and drinking water to replenish energy.

At this time, a man with long shawl hair, wearing several clothes, who looked like a homeless man, while wiping the gun in his hand, asked abruptly: "Nie Lang, what's this number?" Is Yu's news true or false?"

"Don't let us work for a long time this time and end up with nothing!"

The black T man turned his head, looked at him, and said coldly: "If you are worried that the news is false, then quit now!"

"However, I only give you one chance."

The long-haired man who spoke frowned, but didn't really want to quit. While he was thinking quickly, a tall young man next to him with a huge alloy ax on his back said in a loud voice: "Nie Lang , we have given up many opportunities to collect resources by gathering so many people here this time.”

"But until now, you haven't disclosed anything related to that 'digital rain'!"

"We are about to set off now, it's time, we have to give us a clear answer, so that when we need to work hard, everyone will have motivation!"

When the others heard this, they all nodded, and all their eyes turned to Nie Lang.

Nie Lang shook his head and said with a very strong attitude: "You will naturally know when we get to the place!"

Seeing that Nie Lang refused to say anything, everyone frowned, but considering the strength of the other party, they exchanged glances with each other and chose to remain silent.

For a while, it was quiet in the ruins, with only a few movements of eating and cutting infected people.

qua... qua... qua...

Under the gloomy sky, the town was as quiet as ever. The chirping of birds from nowhere, hoarsely tore through the silence for a moment, and then disappeared in a hurry.

The wind blew from the lake, causing sticky ripples on the cement-colored lake surface.

The long grass swayed into yellow waves, and not a single human voice could be heard in the surrounding areas.

wilderness.

The off-road vehicle kept moving forward at high speed amidst the bumps, raising a cloud of dust. Zhou Zhen held the steering wheel and always paid attention to the road conditions ahead.

In the co-pilot next to him, Tao Nange grabbed the high-power ultra-clear telescope, constantly adjusting and fiddling with it, and pointing the lens at high altitude from time to time.

But for some reason, apart from the golden eagle-like flying infected at the beginning, she never met any other infected or ordinary people along the way. As a result, she could never find a target to secretly photograph...

Perhaps because he was tired or for some other reason, Tao Nange played with the telescope for a while, then hugged the telescope directly, lay down on the co-pilot and fell asleep again.

In an instant, Zhou Zhen's brain suddenly woke up, and all the memories he had just forgotten came back to his mind instantly!

His expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly braked and stopped the off-road vehicle!

Zhou Zhen quickly looked at Tao Nange. Tao Nange was lying on the back of a flat chair, her head slightly tilted to one side, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes drooped, and a few strands of hair clinging playfully to her snow-white cheeks. , trembling slightly with her even breathing, looking peaceful and very normal.

However, Zhou Zhen's face was extremely ugly!
Unlock your phone...

photo……

telescope……

This is Chu Jingyan’s characteristic! ! !

Can Chu Jingyan come to the outside world through Tao Nange's body? !

wrong!

To be precise, it should be Tao Nange who was infected by him!
Tao Nange is a member of the Ghost Group and a digital compatibility of "The Fourth Step"!
And all the other girls in the "photo album" on his mobile phone are just ordinary people.

Not surprisingly, the other girls in the photo were also infected!

What should we do now?
Wake up Tao Nange immediately?
Or report it to superiors?
Do not……

Now that he woke up Tao Nange, he was not sure whether it was Tao Nange or Chu Jingyan who woke up.

And if the situation here is reported to the superiors... Tao Nange will be included in the danger list just like him!
In addition, his own danger rating will also increase again!

At that time, what awaits him may not be dealing with the "digital virus" incident in a high-risk city, but the exile of the outer space program, or a nuclear bomb attack...

Things haven't reached that point yet...

Ji Xuexun!
Ji Xuexun can deal with Chu Jingyan!

Just as he was thinking about it, Tao Nange suddenly opened his eyes, his flexible waist suddenly exerted force, and with a whip kick, he kicked the passenger windshield hard!

boom!
The windshield, which can defend against most conventional ammunition, was suddenly kicked out of a white dot. With the white dot as the center, the broken traces spread towards the entire windshield like a huge spider web, instantly blocking the entire windshield. Most driving views.

Zhou Zhen immediately came to his senses and quickly looked at Tao Nange.

At this time, Tao Nange breathed heavily and quickly looked around at the familiar high-risk city suburbs before he came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare..." Tao Nange straightened the back of his chair, sat up, explained lightly, looked at the desolate wilderness, and then asked, "Why did you stop the car?"

Zhou Zhen nodded slightly and immediately understood that it was Tao Nange himself who woke up this time!
