He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 40 Greedy Wolf

The sound of artillery fire exploded not far away, and the flames illuminated the night.

Four or ten minutes had passed since the alarm sounded.

Blizzard picked up a few classmates on the way to the safe zone, and put them in the nearest safe zone of S.Frank volunteered to take two junior sisters to the Bell Tower District to support, and other medical students volunteered to go to various districts.

However, although the low-frequency sound wave instrument took away most of the mimics in the N area, the S area, and the other three areas, the situation inside the Imperial College is still unclear.

On the way back to the Bell Tower area, Blizzard was once again intercepted by mimetic insects. Fortunately, there were signal flares in the safe zone to cover the blizzard, allowing Blizzard to enter the safe zone smoothly.

The heavy door closed behind Su Ling, and the encryption device was activated.

In the bright and warm space, more than [-] teachers and students of Imperial College got a chance to breathe.Frank and two junior sisters were helping the wounded to treat their wounds, and the smell of burnt protein spread in the dome accompanied by the sound of pain.

"Suling!" A person who was sitting in the corner greeted this side.Bandages tightly wrapped his arms and half of his face, and he held a lollipop in his uninjured hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

If it wasn't for Zheng Kanzhi's presence, Su Ling wouldn't have recognized that it was Qin Yue at all.

When he called out, many people around him looked over.

"I finally met the real Suling! You pinched me, is it true?"

"Damn it, the camera was so blurry just now, he is so cool."

"Suling, Suling, come and sit here, we have something to eat! The instant noodles are just shared, spicy beef flavor!"

"Suling come to our place, all kinds of fresh fruits, I picked them myself this morning, enough."

While talking, the two people who greeted them for dinner almost started arguing.

Su Ling silently found a step against the wall and sat down.There was a red spot on the slender index finger, perhaps because it accidentally touched the mucus of the mimetic insect, and it has not yet fully recovered.

A hot sandwich was handed to Su Ling.

Xiao Huaiyan took advantage of the situation and sat beside him.

Su Ling opened the sandwich, picked out the cod that was fried just right, and then returned the remaining bread, egg, and vegetable leaves to Xiao Huaiyan.

Xiao Huaiyan frowned, seeing Su Ling eating the cod slowly, he didn't say anything.

The big screen, which had completely lost the TV signal, suddenly switched to Fei Lianxing's news report.

"...Residents, please pay attention. Insect nests of various sizes suddenly appeared on planets such as Feilian and Changyu on the edge of the southern galaxy tonight. It is suspected to be related to the wormhole near Toyota. The alliance military headquarters and local police departments Emergency support is in progress, please go to the nearest shelter as soon as possible. Repeat, please go to the nearest shelter as soon as possible."

There was silence in the safe zone for a while, and everyone's eyes were on the unstable broadcast.If this is true, it may be the greatest disaster in recent centuries in the entire area of ​​​​the universe that humans have dabbled in.

"The alliance will definitely send reinforcements immediately!" Someone clenched his fists and shouted.

Some people also said inexplicably: "It's time to verify whether those guys can deal with mimics."

At the end of the news broadcast, the real-time communications of the other seven security zones entered the channel one after another. Fortunately, the LAN of the Imperial College was still stable.

At this time, the people in the bell tower area knew that the main control room of the college patrol team had lost contact.

"The low-frequency equipment used in the main control room has attracted the mimetic bugs around. Unfortunately, Mr. Zucker and his assistant George have left us forever." The gray-haired principal choked up several times in front of the screen in the T area.

That short shot appeared on the split screen without mosaics, bloody and cruel, with limbs and flesh and blood covering the table.There was more fear and panic in the nausea.

The footage was then removed.

After expressing deep condolences, Mr. Ahman from the safe area of ​​the library in Area B solemnly declared the characteristics of mimics again: "...Try to adopt the mode of long-distance attack. If they encounter melee combat unfortunately, their weakness is that their abdomen is exposed." The polyps must be killed with one blow. At the same time, we must take good protection and prevent the mucus from touching the skin. If necessary, please seek medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, during the closure of the eight safety zones, it is strictly forbidden to go out. We must persist until Reinforcements are coming."

Rachel Yang, who finally got online, disagreed with Ahman's opinion, and argued hard: "Our safe area in Area C does not have any medical supplies and personnel, but now it is the place with the most wounded, and we urgently need dispatch."

"This puts the safety of more students at risk!"

"Even so, you should try—"

Suling heard Xiao Huaiyan say in a low voice: "Feilian Star is the farthest place from other big planets, and the population is also the smallest. Alliance reinforcements must be the first to support other places. The local security of Feilian Star is limited, so it must be concentrated in Caiyu City." Wait until the market. They will come here when their condition stabilizes."

"Boss, what shall we do?" Lian Xiao asked loudly, attracting the attention of the surroundings.

Xiao Huaiyan reminded: "Although the safe zone is strong, it may not have a long-term defensive effect on the slime of the mimics. Besides, we don't have enough weapons in our hands to resist attacks."

"Wait no more," Xiao Huaiyan stood up, his sloppy expression gradually subsided, "Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, the most urgent task is to find a way to send medical personnel to Area C, and then open the arsenal to get the equipment."

Someone asked the people around him in a low voice: "Who is this guy? Is he reliable? Could it be that he grows up nicely, so the mimics won't attack him?"

"You read the book for nothing, you don't even know Xiao Huaiyan from the first grade." The person next to him rolled his eyes.

"Damn it's him, he looks really like the chief's wife. But can he do it, he looks—"

Ou Chuchu patted that person's shoulder with a smile, and asked with a voice that could be heard around him: "Have you heard of last year's Northern Qualifiers?"

The other party nodded.

"The highest score in history, the gods block and kill the gods, the best decision-"

The man's eyes lit up: "Is it the anonymous master who drags three?! I said that it is not at the level of the northern galaxy. It is definitely a top player who secretly changed the competition area and crushed the holographic system."

"What is one delaying three?" Ou Chuchu glared at him and put his hands on his hips, "We are the boss's good helpers, and he will never be without the three of us—well, although he has Suling now, we are anyway. A team."

After Ou Chuchu left, the man scratched his head suddenly: "But the holographic competition is still very different from the real battlefield."

His companion said unhappily: "Just now, everyone in the camera dared to be a bait, why don't you try it too."

"It's not that I dare not, just go!"

Su Ling raised his head slightly, and saw a figure flash past on the big screen in the upper right corner.

"It turns out that Fei Ran is there too," Xizi also recognized it, "No wonder Si Jinyu had disappeared when we reached number 70, and he ran very fast."

Someone next to him explained: "It's the first time for everyone to see mimics. It's inevitable to be afraid. I was almost too scared to walk."

"It's not the first time," Su Ling looked at the mimetic insect in the real-time monitoring, "I saw it once in the holographic simulation competition."

The surrounding eyes looked at Su Ling in unison.

Xiao Huaiyan stood under a few steps, turned his head, and frowned: "Holographic simulation competition...?"

At this time, a short boy in the crowd suddenly slapped his thigh, raised his hand and shouted: "That's right, it's the final of the holographic simulation competition. There is one that is different from other holographic insects! At that time, Lao Zhao and I were hanging on the tree." , I was too scared to move when I saw that guy, but fortunately Su Ling arrived in time. I can only be sure that I saw the real thing tonight, and there was something wrong with that violent mimic!"

In the video, several leaders of the school heard this, and their faces were all terrified.

Mimics not only appeared in the Imperial College silently, but also openly in front of everyone? !Before today, this was absolutely nonsense.

Rachel Yang took the lead in sorting out the ideas: "The holographic simulation game uses the latest box arena. If it is a real mimic, then there will be traces in the running scene box."

"That's right, just check the box once to find out." Ahman glanced at the aging headmaster and took a deep breath. "The most urgent thing at the moment is to solve the outside things. It is very risky to go out rashly now, but there is no The second option."

On the other end of the video, Rachel Yang made an arrangement: "We will keep in touch with you."

Ahman was silent for a moment, and asked: "If possible, please ask all humanoid weapons to help. There should be at least four of them in our school at present."

Su Ling nodded slightly, agreeing.

As soon as he came down the steps, he heard Qin Yue shout from upstairs: "Su Ling, let's go too! You just saved us, we can't let you take risks alone!"

"Go away," Zheng Kanzhi pulled his collar aside, glanced at the bloody bandage on Qin Yue's body with disgust, then turned to Su Ling and said loudly, "Count me in."

"I want to go with Suling too!" Someone immediately raised their hands and said.

"I'll go too, I'll go too, I can't let people wait in area C, I will drive manually!"

"Take me, I will shoot with a heavy ion cannon!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, scrambling to get out.

Xizi turned her head and straightened the bow on Yun Qing's chest, raised her smiling face and said, "Yun Qing, let's help too."

Xiao Huaiyan slightly blocked the front of Suling, and selected 19 people based on the current only five vehicles in the safety zone, two of which were responsible for transporting medical supplies and personnel.

"Let me go to Area C, hiccup," Frank said, blushing just after blowing off a bottle of beer, "I still have my humanoid weapon there, that kid always gets lost."

About 10 minutes later, the five vehicles headed by Blizzard entered the dark night.The white door slowly closed behind them.

It was quiet all around.

Xi Zidu and Yun Qing were in the other vehicle, and they led the two resource vehicles to choose the other side when the road forked.

Lian Xiao hugged the cushion tightly, and huddled in the back seat of Blizzard: "No way, these bugs are not like cockroaches, and they will give birth to a nest at every turn. Isn't it endless?"

Ou Chuchu pushed the mirror frame, trying to open his fingers: "The reproduction of mimics is quite slow. Although there are a lot of them, the breeding time is as long as several years. Even if they arrived in our universe through wormholes, for safety reasons, we should They don't appear all at once. Therefore, they are scattered in very limited numbers."

"Turn right." Su Ling reminded.

As soon as the blizzard in autopilot mode turned a corner, a mimic with incomplete antennae appeared in the rearview mirror.The guy sped up the moment he heard the voice.

Xiao Huaiyan took out the nanopistol, leaned out the skylight and fired several shots immediately "bang, bang".

"Good guy," Lian Xiao looked straight ahead and remembered the important question, "Boss, where did you get your gun?"

Su Ling was also very curious, and saw Xiao Huaiyan take out a small box from the locker under the console, which was full of dark parts.It was so broken that it was impossible for the security check to find out what it was.

"Can you drive?" Xiao Huaiyan asked suddenly.

Su Ling nodded slightly.

"The situation in the academy is unknown, and someone needs to check the situation at a high point. I will be in the bell tower," Xiao Huaiyan paused, "you and them go to the arsenal first."

Su Ling immediately understood what he meant, but seeing his tense expression, he thought about it and suddenly said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"I don't know who protects anyone." Xiao Huaiyan muttered, throwing a sentence of "be careful on the road", took his nanopistol, binoculars and a bunch of broken parts, jumped down before the blizzard stopped completely, and quickly entered the clock tower .

When the voice in the terminal sounded, Su Ling stepped on the gas pedal.

Ou Chuchu was suddenly thrown to the left, but fortunately Lian Xiao was there to support her.

Zheng Kanzhi, who was following the car, quickly speeded up and caught up.

All the way to the arsenal went smoothly. I passed by the mimics several times, but never encountered them head-on.The eight people each chose the weapons they had in hand, and moved some big ones to put them on the car.

Ou Chuchu chose two heavy sniper rifles, but she didn't go to the blizzard for a long time.She hesitated for a moment, and offered to propose: "The roof of the teaching building in the north is the second highest place in the school, and the surrounding area is empty. I can go there."

"That's too dangerous," Lian Xiao disagreed, and after thinking about it, he said, "At least I'll go with you."

Xiao Huaiyan gave the current information on the terminal. There are at least fifty mimics in the Imperial College, and half of them are giants that move relatively slowly.

He and Su Ling maintained a communication state, and at the same time connected to other people's connections to inform them of the specific location.

Su Ling first sent Ou Chuchu and Lian Xiao to the teaching building in the north, and dealt with four or five mimics by the way.Before getting into the car, he was suddenly attracted by a faint meow.

Su Ling followed the sound, pushed through the grass, and saw the orange cat's family of seven.The orange cat and the black cat guarded the short-haired cub vigilantly, and relaxed their vigilance when they smelled a familiar smell, and let out a "meow".

Su Ling took them away in a litter and placed them in the backseat of Blizzard.

On the way back to the bell tower, Suling encountered trouble.More than a dozen mimics were chasing Blizzard crazily, of course he could get out of the car, but Blizzard must not stop alone.

"There is an intersection ahead—turn left, turn left again, and go straight for 300 meters." Su Ling listened to Xiao Huaiyan's voice directing the resource vehicle, and kept quiet.

However, while spinning around, Su Ling suddenly discovered that these insects were always besieging him from different directions, and then made way for him—as if deliberately leading him to a certain direction.

Or, it was deliberately leading him away from a certain direction.

"Xiao Huaiyan," Su Ling's voice was like the night, "leave the bell tower quickly."

Standing on the bell tower not far away, the blue shards shone brightly.But a dark shadow blocked the light.

On the other end of the terminal, there was no response.

On the console, Su Ling accidentally touched a button.

In an instant, Blizzard put away the wheels, closed the doors and windows, and reached the maximum speed within 0.1 second, passing over the heads of the mimetic swarm at lightning speed, and headed for the clock tower.

The current sound at the terminal is strong and weak.

"Xiao Huaiyan, can you hear me?" Su Ling frowned.

After a while, there was a series of gunshots from the opposite side, Xiao Huaiyan said with disgust: "This thing is nothing more than that, a single bullet can solve it. Don't ask me to protect you later, anyway, I am too—vomit—"

"The highest score in history?" Su Ling remembered the rumors he heard today.

Xiao Huaiyan seemed to barely get rid of his cleanliness obsession, and said sullenly: "You can still joke."

There was a pause of two seconds on the other side, and the cool voice was exhausted: "Why is there another one?"

Immediately afterwards, the terminal was completely disconnected.

The blizzard stopped under the bell tower, and Su Ling quickly jumped up the steps.

I saw the stumps and mucus of mimics on the stone steps along the way, and there were traces of fighting everywhere.There is also a windbreaker that is broken into several pieces, which is the one that Xiao Huaiyan often wears.

There was a lot of mucus on Su Ling's clothes, but he didn't have time to deal with it, he just wanted to rush to Xiao Huaiyan's side.

He heard his heartbeat gradually lose its stability.

But the contract is still there.

...he's not dead yet.

not yet.

The bell rang in the dead of night, leaving nothing but mourning.

Su Ling almost used the fastest speed, but the few short seconds seemed to pass quite a long time.

The moment he climbed to the highest point, he saw the mimic that opened its polyp and tried to swallow Xiao Huaiyan, and its saliva fell all over the ground, covering its own half-broken tentacles.The golden eyes greedily stared at their prey, who was close at hand, and immediately——

At the same time, the handsome young man who was dying suddenly opened his eyes. He quickly grabbed the three nanopistols beside him, and pressed the end of the gun to activate the transformation button.

Three nano guns combined into a pitch-black sniper gun.

Then he raised his hand.

One shot, two shots.

...Three shots.

It all happened very quickly.

Before the mimic had time to react, it suddenly retreated backwards due to inertia, and fell down the clock tower without any hindrance.

At the same time, Xiao Huaiyan also fell in the opposite direction due to the violent recoil - he was already hovering on the edge.

Su Ling saw Xiao Huaiyan holding the sniper rifle in one hand, and curled his lips triumphantly at himself the moment he fell.

There was a certain depth in those peach blossom eyes.He looked at Suling like a mimic looking at a human being.

"It's you."

Su Ling grabbed his hand in time.
