Chapter 318 Run
Yan Zhu walked into the warehouse, followed by Zhu Haoting and Qiao Yue.
Bang!
The ceiling light switched on.
The warehouse was filled with a dull smell. Yan Zhu looked around curiously, and saw rows of neatly displayed shelves extending inward, and rows of turnover cartons stacked along the wall. She looked around quietly, but did not see the Ququ Roland Puffs she had been thinking about.
Her classmate Ji Chunfei was standing there. I don't know if it was because of the lighting, but his face looked pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked listless as always. A man walked out from the shelves. He looked to be in his forties. He should be Ji Chunfei's uncle.
Ji Chunfei said: "They are coming."
Zhu Haoting immediately said, "Hello, uncle." Her voice was crisp, and there was a buzzing echo in the warehouse. When it came to dealing with adults, Zhu Haoting's reaction was always faster than hers. Yan Zhu and Qiao Yue also greeted him. The man glanced at them, his face expressionless, "You brought three people."
"Yes, they are all my classmates, and they all came here specifically for the puffs." Ji Chunfei said.
When she heard about puffs, Yan Zhu's face suddenly became a little hot. Although Yan Zhu was still a primary school student, she always believed that she had grown up. It seemed a bit embarrassing to say it publicly that she had deliberately asked classmates to get limited-edition snacks through the back door. She secretly glanced at Zhu Haoting and Qiao Yue beside her. Qiao Yue was a little embarrassed like her, but Zhu Haoting still maintained a standard polite smile.
"Okay." The man asked again, "How many days have you consumed it?"
"One month." Ji Chunfei said, "According to my observation, they all continued to show a strong desire for that flavor of puff and the ability to collect it. I think the initial symptoms of the experiment have been reached."
"Experiment?" Yan Zhu asked doubtfully, "What does it mean?"
Qiao Yue said, "Ji Chunfei, you mean the food taster, right?"
Zhu Haoting opened her eyes wide and said nothing.
Ji Chunfei did not answer Qiao Yue. He continued to say to his uncle, "People from the Safety Committee have been around the school recently. I suggest you evacuate immediately after dealing with the three people with symptoms."
It was another piece of talk that Yan Zhu couldn't understand. The more she listened, the more confused she became.
Zhu Haoting asked, "What does symptom person mean?"
"It is continuous happiness." Ji Chunfei looked at them. From just now on, his tone of voice no longer sounded like that of a primary school student of this age. His tone was strange and calm. "It is happiness, joy, and the other side of the dream of intelligent life. Congratulations, you have been selected in this small-scale experiment."
"Selected?"
Ji Chunfei said: "Your brains have been activated by Master Kudela's experimental drugs. Be happy. Not all Homo sapiens experimental subjects can have such a lucky gift."
"What? What experiment?" Yan Zhu felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask loudly.
Zhu Haoting's standard polite smile disappeared, and she frowned and said, "Ji Chunfei, what on earth are you talking about? Didn't you say you were here to get the puffs?"
Then, another voice sounded in the warehouse.
"I see."
A tall uninvited guest appeared.
Qiao Yue turned his head and shouted in surprise: "Brother Xiu!!"
The intruder was a burly man with a tough face, sharp eyes, and a bloodstain on his forehead. He stared at Ji Chunfei and his uncle, "I knew that this puff seller was probably doing something shameful, and it turned out to be right to follow you secretly."
"Brother Xiu, what are you talking about?"
"Brother Qiao Yue, you've been fooled by this evil gang." Xiu said, "What you just said clearly shows that they put drugs in the puffs they sell."
"Drug?" The three children were all stunned.
Ji Chunfei's uncle was neither flustered nor surprised by the sudden intrusion of this uninvited guest. He glanced at Xiu and said, "This is stupid. This is a precise and rigorous scientific academic research."
Xiu asked, "You mean drugging these children's favorite snacks?"
"Research requires experimental data." The man raised his eyebrows as if he felt that he couldn't communicate. "We are just collecting the necessary materials."
"So you admit that you used these children as experimental subjects? This is an independent civilized area, and no one can attack the local residents!" Xiu's voice was filled with anger, "Despicable! How dare you give children such addictive drugs!"
"Addiction? Don't use your ignorance to taint our research. Do you think our research is about the kind of worthless inferior drugs that are purely for the pursuit of pleasure? It's ridiculous. What we are exploring is the well-being of life, the true evolution of the brain, and turning the spiritual and physical pleasure of intelligent life into personal happiness. The subjects who can currently show symptoms are all valuable research materials."
"Stop talking nonsense! You are just conducting illegal biological experiments!"
The man didn't seem to want to explain any more to him. He looked at Xiu coldly, "Are you from Nansai? I didn't see your clan emblem."
"Before death comes, I have somewhere to go."
"Oh, it turns out to be just a stray dog that was driven away."
Needless to say, Xiu took action.
The battle has begun.
The Nansai warrior leaped up, his speed was so fast that it was like a flashing afterimage. He pulled out a dagger and swung it at the man. In a breath, Ji Chunfei's uncle was cut in two by him, but the crack was empty, with only a smooth metal surface. Then his body melted like syrup, turning into a pool of flowing metal. The flowing metal liquid on the ground revealed a face, which was full of arrogant sneer.
Xiu took a step back, raised his gun and shot at the metal liquid, which suddenly boiled like boiling water and turned into vines with poisonous blades that attacked him. Xiu was extremely agile, dodging left and right in these deadly vines, his dagger flashing a faint blue light, circling, slashing, cutting, and blocking. His attacks caused the vines to constantly deform and change, but they could never touch his body.
The Nansai people are renowned warriors in the galaxy. They are hunters with a keen sense of smell, they are skilled warriors, and they are brave and skilled mercenaries. Xiu Zheng is proving this with himself. From the moment the battle began, his figure was dazzling, his skills were superb, and his attack was unstoppable. He was angry because this hateful enemy actually attacked innocent children, and because Qiao Yue, who had done him a favor, reminded him of his poor brother. His sharp blade drew arcs in the air, colliding with the metal vines to produce sparks, and the next moment, his dagger cut off another vine.
"You lose." Liquid Metal once again transformed into a mocking face. "If you were outside, you would still have a chance. But this is my workshop."
Xiu didn't reply and continued his fierce attack.
"Look here." Another voice came from behind him.
Xiu turned his head.
Qiao Yue was standing there. Ji Chunfei stood beside him, his hand on Qiao Yue's neck. Qiao Yue looked at him blankly. Ji Chunfei's lips were slightly raised, and his pupils were a strange silver-white color that was definitely not human. His nails were thin and strange, shining with a cold light.
"Don't move. If you move, I will kill him." Ji Chunfei said.
Xiu hesitated.
It was this moment of hesitation that caused the poisonous vines to pierce his body from behind.
Blood sprayed in the air, and scarlet blood beads drifted in the wind.
Qiao Yue saw Xiu's arms hanging down weakly.
The metal vines suddenly pulled out of Xiu's body and penetrated it again, and this time the sound of bones breaking was heard.
“Brother Xiu!!”
Qiao Yue began to scream.
A ball-like object rolled out from between Xiu's arms.
Then flashes of light and smoke filled the warehouse.
…
…
Yan Zhu's legs were shaking.
She wanted to scream.
What was happening was beyond her comprehension. She had come here only to get some puffs through the back door, so why did it turn out like this? Qiao Yue's friend said that Ji Chunfei's uncle wanted to use the three of them as an experiment. Ji Chunfei's uncle was a deformable metal monster.
And the person who just wanted to save them was killed.
Was killed.
Was killed.
Was killed.
Can't stay here.
Escape. Must escape.
But her legs seemed to have lost control and pinned her to the spot.
no.
I have to escape.
Yan Zhu, you need to move.
Get moving!!
So Yan Zhu barely regained consciousness and turned around to run.
Zhu Haoting sat limply on the ground, her face pale and her lips trembling.
"Zhu Haoting, run!" she shouted at her.
Zhu Haoting's eyes drifted towards her, "I, my legs are so weak that I can't move." Her voice was weak.
Yan Zhu rushed over and grabbed her hand, pulling it upwards with force, "Stand up!"
Then she really pulled Zhu Haoting up.
escape!
At the beginning, she still needed to pull Zhu Haoting to run, but soon she no longer needed to do so.
She heard Qiao Yue crying.
But now, she can only run away with Zhu Haoting.
Now the warehouse is filled with white fog. This is the smoke bomb released by Xiu. This is also their only chance. But where is the door?
Yan Zhu and Zhu Haoting ran for a while before they realized that, given the distance, they should have reached the gate long ago. But they had been running for at least four or five minutes, and there was only white fog in front of them, and they could not find the warehouse gate anywhere.
That's not right, this warehouse can't possibly be that big.
Yan Zhu and Zhu Haoting looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
Is this a dream?
Are they really still in the warehouse? As if it was the effect of the explosion just now, the lights on the ceiling kept flickering, making the whole space have an uncertain sense of illusion. Is everything that just happened real?
Then, they heard footsteps.
"Yan Zhu, Zhu Haoting, where are you going..." That was Ji Chunfei's voice. He was approaching them, his voice was neither hurried nor slow, and there was even a hint of teasing in his smile.
"..." Yan Zhu felt her legs begin to cramp, and Zhu Haoting beside her couldn't help shaking. Yan Zhu and she quickly squatted behind a row of shelves.
"Come out now. Stop playing hide and seek."
"..." Yan Zhu covered her mouth and nose to hide her breathing. Ah, her teeth couldn't stop colliding up and down. Her stomach twitched because of extreme fear. Zhu Haoting trembled even more violently than her.
"Come out quickly." Ji Chunfei's voice floated , "Are you going to leave Qiao Yue alone?"
Liar. I clearly saw you trying to kill Qiao Yue just now. You also killed Qiao Yue's friend.
You want to use the three of us as guinea pigs.
"Yan Zhu, Zhu Haoting, if you don't come out..." Ji Chunfei's voice became calmer, "Then I will have no choice but to come find you."
Then, the cold footsteps approached Yan Zhu and Zhu Haoting.
