Chapter 99

Molly once introduced that Dr. Liu nianan had deep attainments in the field of Virology many years ago.

Molly even said half jokingly and half seriously that if the virus in Liu nianan's laboratory flowed out, it might trigger a global biochemical crisis.

Liu nianan smiled mysteriously and did not continue to discuss this too professional topic.

Ten minutes later, everyone packed up their equipment and set off again.

Yilin also took the initiative to help Dr. Feng Manqing carry the heavy incubator equipment.

Just then, there was a commotion in front of the team.

Looking closer, Wang Bing and Ju Xiuyuan quarreled.

When Yilin approached, Ju Xiuyuan pointed to 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 on the actions of the investigation team!"

With a gun on his back, Wang Bing said in a cold voice, "the situation is urgent. We must leave the no man's land as soon as possible!"

"But we only observed one place! The data collected is far from enough!"

"Dr. Ju, this is an emergency! I must be responsible for your safety!" Wang Bing's tone was stubborn and did not give in.

"But we must be responsible for the future of mankind!" Ju Xiuyuan roared.

When Wang Bing heard the speech, his expression was slightly moved.

For a time, the two fell into a stalemate.

No one can convince anyone.

Yilin pulls Molly to her side and asks about the dispute between Wang Bing and Ju Xiuyuan.

"I see."

At the moment, Yilin also understood the reason for the dispute between the two sides.

Wang Bing believed that there were enemies of unknown origin in the no man's land investigation. In order to ensure the safety of the investigation team, he decided to terminate the investigation and asked to return the same way.

Because Wang Bing concealed some facts, Ju Xiuyuan thought that Wang Bing was making a mountain out of a molehill, insisted on continuing the investigation and did not agree to give up halfway.

So the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Yilin thought for a moment.

She whispered a few words in Molly's ear.

When Molly heard the speech, she first glanced at Yilin in surprise, but a few seconds later, she came out.

"Dr. Ju is right." Molly looked calm: "the investigation team's behavior, the field team has no right to intervene."

Molly's speech made everyone quiet in an instant.

Wang Bing frowned. He didn't understand for a moment. Molly suddenly jumped out to refute.

But two seconds later, Wang Bing's eyes on Shang Yilin suddenly seemed to understand something, so he shut up.

Under everyone's attention, Molly continued, "but don't forget, I'm the nominal captain of the investigation team, and I have the right to decide the next action of the investigation team."

As soon as Ju Xiuyuan's eyes coagulated, he subconsciously said, "hum, even you..."

Molly smiled and interrupted Ju Xiuyuan's next words: "Professor Ju, listen to me first."

"I believe that since everyone enters the no man's land regardless of danger, they definitely have their own reasons."

"So I don't think anyone who makes a decision alone can convince the public. I think we can make a decision in a fairer way."

The others were stunned when they heard the speech.

"Very simple..." Molly smiled and stretched out two tender white fingers: "vote."

After a pause, Molly added: "the seven members of the investigation team voted. Those who agree to continue the investigation, please raise their hands, and the minority obeys the majority."

Ju Xiuyuan was silent for a moment. Finally, he shook his head helplessly: "yes, let's do it."

Wang Bing nodded without expression.

There are seven members in the investigation team.

Including Erin.

Wang Bing has a clear heart.

got it.

This is the way that Yilin came up with to bypass the stubborn Ju Xiuyuan and let the investigation team go home by voting.

Sure enough, he deserves to be a member of the special group. This means is much softer than Wang Bing.

——Society.

Since Ju Xiuyuan agreed to decide the next action of the investigation team by voting, even if the result of the final voting was not in Ju Xiuyuan's mind, it is estimated that the old stubborn could not turn his face back.

Is this move the legendary soldier who subdues people without fighting?

Wang Bing nodded secretly.

But Wang Bing was a little tangled in his heart. What way should he praise Yilin in order to be both obscure and clear?

Online, etc.

——Hurry.

……

"I agree to continue the investigation."

Yilin smiled and raised his hand.

Ju Xiuyuan, Feng Manqing, Molly, Yilin.

In the investigation team, four people raised their hands one after another.

Agreed to move on and investigate the no man's land.

"Why, why?"

Wang Bing doesn't believe it.

Ju Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "don't underestimate our determination to study people. Since we dare to form an investigation team to explore no man's land, we have already had a certain consciousness."

Wang Bing frowned.

In fact, this sentence did not ask Ju Xiuyuan.

It's Irene.

Ju Xiuyuan doesn't know that Yilin is the real decision-maker of this team.

Ju Xiuyuan doesn't know who their field team really needs to protect.

Even if other members of the investigation team insist on going their own way, as long as Miss Molly strongly requests to return, Wang Bing doesn't mind being a villain.

But he didn't understand why Yilin and Molly chose to move on.

And it seems that Molly's decision is also inspired by Yilin.

The remaining three members of the investigation team did not raise their hands to vote. Liu nianan was embarrassed, and the other two were ashamed.

Ju Xiuyuan glanced at Liu nianan's face quickly.

There was no blame, nor did he say anything ugly.

Just a sigh: "I hope you can live up to your knowledge and don't forget your pride."

Liu nianan lowered his head silently.

Ju Xiuyuan picked up the heavy equipment and came to Yilin.

"Young man, I look at you differently."

Ju Xiuyuan's attitude is different from that not long ago.

Yilin knew it was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

But he couldn't explain.

Can only reluctantly accept Ju Xiuyuan's praise.

The team started again.

After all, I'm not a child, and everyone didn't take the dispute in mind... At least not on the surface.

Wang Bing, Ju Xiuyuan and Molly got together, looked at the map and discussed the next observation point.

The distance between the two observation points is too close, and the data does not have much meaning.

But if he goes too far at once, Wang Bing also has concerns.

After all, the physique of these scholars is certainly not as good as that of the secret service team. They can't travel too far at one go.

"Right here!"

Wang Bing pointed to a place on the map.

A "Wen" icon is displayed on the map.

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.

"Should you tell me what's going on now?"

Molly and Yilin walked behind the team. Molly finally found a chance and asked quietly.

Yilin thought for a while. After weighing the pros and cons, he still didn't hide it.

"The other party has my kind."

"Like?" Molly immediately responded, "you mean..."

"Someone just used a special ability on me... I felt it for the first time, but I didn't find anyone within 21 meters. It is preliminarily speculated that there are three possibilities..."

Yilin slowly analyzed and said, "first, after using the ability, the other party quickly left my perception range in a very short time."

"Second, the use range of the other party's ability is far beyond my perception..."

"Third..."

Before Yilin explained, Molly thought of what Yilin said next and blurted out: "he is among us!"

"Wrong!"

Yilin shook his head.

"Why?" Molly looked stunned.

Yilin laughed: "do you think this is a reasoning game? The murderer is among us?"

“……”

Yilin saw Molly clenching her pink fist and seemed to have a tendency to get angry, so she stopped selling the key. She whispered: "for example, in those retro games, magicians need to consume blue bars to play magic?"

"Uh... And then?"

"Our 'ability' can probably be understood like this. We also need to consume some kind of 'blue bar'." Yilin tried to explain to Molly without violating the taboo: "there are 13 people in this team. So many people don't choose me to use the ability. Why do you think?"

Molly is not a fool. After Yilin's vague description, Molly also roughly understands the situation.

"I see. The third possibility you want to say is... There are ghosts among us?"

Erin nodded.

"But I still don't understand. Why are you sure they can't be your kind?"

Yilin smiled: "I can't be 100% sure... Let's talk about the investigation team first. If it's you, after you know that one plus one equals two, will you spend a lot of energy to study why one plus one equals 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 reproduce and give birth to offspring, not two... Others include physics, philosophy, quantum mechanics, theology..."

"Stop! I'm not discussing with you now!" Yilin listened with a big head and quickly stopped the topic: "in short, it's unlikely. Don't think about it."

In fact, Yilin's meaning is also very simple.

As an apostle, knowing that the "tower" belongs to the supernatural existence, nature will no longer be foolish to study the origin of the tower.

Because it doesn't make sense.

It's better to find a way to strengthen yourself and let yourself survive the next test.

As for the field team, Yilin felt that they were unlikely to be apostles.

The Apostle's body was engraved with a brand that could not be erased. He knew it as soon as he took off his clothes.

As a senior apostle, it is not difficult to speculate that Zhao Yulong cannot place the apostles in the field team of the "special group".

[expertise] this skill is not very rare. Yi Lin has heard of it.

[appraisal] it is an auxiliary skill. It consumes little power, but it is consumed.

There is also the problem of skill success rate.

It is impossible for the other party to smash all 13 people in one round of appraisal, which is unrealistic.

In other words, the other party learned through some way that he had left the team with Molly and solved the four enemies silently, so he attracted the other party's attention.

The release of single skills requires a vision. The other party should share the vision with someone in the team through some skills or props, and use the identification technique on Yilin.

Molly nodded: "I see. If there are ghosts among us, if we go back the same way, we will undoubtedly hit each other's heart, but give them time to prepare and ambush... It's better to keep moving forward and turn passivity into initiative... Eh? I suddenly find you are much smarter than I thought?"

Yi Lin: "

"Then your next plan should be to find out the ghost?"

Yilin watch looked at Molly strangely: "aren't you afraid?"

Molly waved her hand carelessly: "what are you afraid of, isn't there still you?"

Yilin's expression was slightly stunned.

Molly's mouth turned up: "if I die, I won't let you go as a ghost! Before I die, Miss Ben will kick you to death. It seems that I'm not so afraid to pull you on my back."

Molly seemed relaxed, but from the perspective of Yilin, Molly's Petite back trembled slightly, which seemed to betray her real mood.

Yilin was silent, stretched out his hand and gently hugged Molly's shoulder.

Molly did not refuse, but raised her head, her bright eyes looked at Yilin with a smile, and whispered, "are you soaking me?"

"Don't worry, there's no such thing." Yilin smiled and comforted.

Molly had a sudden impulse to kick the ghost to death.

But with such a interruption, Molly found herself at ease.

"By the way, what if you find the ghost?"

“？”

When Yilin slowly makes a question mark

Molly:

"What do you mean, how to deal with it?"

"Is it literally? Can't you understand people?" Molly stared.

"What else can I do?" Yilin's tone was calm and gentle: "kill."

Molly's pupils are miniaturized.

"Don't kill... Keep it for the new year?"

Yilin asked.

……

……

Yilin asked everyone in the investigation team in detail again.

Excluding Molly and Yilin, the ghost has five suspicious targets at present.

Of course, in order to be safe, Yilin added five members of the field team to the list of suspects.

After all, although they are not apostles, the possibility of ghosts still exists.

As long as it is a person, there are weaknesses.

As long as there is weakness, it is possible to be bought off.

This... Is not surprising.

"Do you have a goal?" Molly could not help asking after telling Yilin about everyone.

"Well... I have a clue, but in order to prevent your eyes from betraying you, I decided not to tell you for the time being." Yilin smiled.

"... stingy." Although Molly knew that what Yilin said was true, she was still a little unhappy.

On the flat road, rusty cars were parked everywhere. In the fog, the once prosperous city was permeated with corruption and there was no sign of life.

A complete dead city.

"This is death..."

Yilin squinted and stared at the end of the fog, the looming huge tower.

The tower of death.

This is the power of "it".

It is also the great power of the "apocalyptic Knight" born from the "tower".

Wang Bing walked ahead without saying a word. Before the attack, Wang Bing didn't dare to relax his vigilance. He never put down his gun.

Several other special forces of the field team surrounded the investigation team with professional tactical layout and marched slowly, which was somewhat hidden in the jungle.

The rest of the investigation team, including Ju Xiuyuan, didn't think too much. After all, their knowledge was limited. They just went to the next observation point with their luggage on their backs. At the same time, they sorted out the data obtained not long ago in their mind. Is it useful.

In fact, Wang Bing had no bottom in his heart. He didn't know whether it was a decision-making mistake for the team to continue to advance to the depths of the fog.

He... Is not sure.

The closer the no man's land is to the direction of the "tower", the thicker the fog will be. If it had not been shown that no matter what isolation measures can not isolate the fog, Wang Bing would like to wrap himself in ten or eight layers of protective clothing in order to make him feel more secure.

Suddenly.

A special soldier of the special group walking in front of the team snorted, clicked and loaded the bullet.

Almost at the same time, gunfire rang out, bang bang——

Wang Bing at the front of the team fired several shots into the fog.

The sudden gunfire caused a commotion again, and the rest of the investigation team squatted on the ground almost subconsciously.

As the saying goes, when a gun hits a bird, it stands high and is easier to be hit by a bullet.

Bang bang——

The road echoed only the gunfire of Wang Bing.

"Lying trough!"

Wang Bing scolded fiercely, looked back at his comrades in arms behind him, and whispered, "it's all right."

Yilin frowned and read in his heart. He directly released Bai Xiaoyi.

Bai Xiaoyi smiled and fled into the fog happily.

During the riots, Bai Xiaoyi, as a spirit, was already looming, and no one noticed Yilin's skill.

"What's going on?"

Yilin stepped forward, released Bai Xiaoyi, and immediately spread his perception.

However, Irene did not find any hidden enemies around.

At least within 21 meters, No.

When Wang Bing saw Yilin and Molly coming, he lowered his voice and said, "there is an enemy attack! The second column is injured!"

"Close up! Everybody close up!"

After Wang Bing commanded the others with a communicator, he squatted down to check the injury of Erzhu.

"Captain, I'm fine."

The second pillar looks like a young man with dark skin and simple and honest appearance. He grinned, covered his hands, and blood flowed between his fingers.

"Look."

When Yilin opened the second column wound, he saw a sharp knife mark in the palm, with blood flowing out, but it didn't seem to be a fatal wound.

After the simple dressing treatment, Erzhu did not change his face and picked up the gun again.

"Leader, look..."

While the rest of the investigation team were still in panic, Wang Bing calmly asked Yilin about his next action.

Although it was an inquiry, Wang Bing still wanted to leave the damn no man's land.

Yilin lowered his head and said nothing more.

Following the direction in which Erzhu was attacked, Yilin found a knife from the ground.

He quietly took the knife into his hand, holding the handle and squinting his eyes.

While making small moves, Yilin also asked the course of the accident briefly and comprehensively.

Just now, a knife flew out of the fog without warning, which caught Erzhu off guard.

Yi Lin: "throwing knife?"

Wang Bing: "ancient martial arts?"

"Is this the legendary throwing knife?"

Molly came over and held out her hand curiously——

"Wait, don't move."

Yilin inadvertently aligned with the dull eyes of Erzhu.

Because Erzhu's skin was dark, Yilin didn't notice for a moment and a half, but when Erzhu's lips turned black, he finally noticed something wrong.

This knife is poisonous!

Highly toxic!

"Uh, uh -"

Almost in the next second when Yilin shouted, the two pillars suddenly twitched violently and fell straight to the ground.

The two eyes turned upside down, and the pink foam appeared in the mouth, and the two hands clutched their necks in pain, and a loud wheezing sound was heard in the throat, which seemed to be hard to breathe.

Yilin waved his palm, and the highly poisonous throwing knife was directly sent to the distance by Yilin.

Away from here.

——I can't touch it.

"By the way! Let Dr. Han come quickly!"

Yilin suddenly remembered that there was an intellectual female doctor named Han Bingbing in the investigation team, who was a doctor majoring in medicine.

"Come on! Dr. Han! Come on!"

Han Bingbing wears loose clothes that are easy to walk, has a mole at the corner of his mouth, and is full of mature woman's intelligence. But at the moment, when she came to the second column, her face was a little white, and she was frightened by this series of changes.

When Han Bingbing came to Erzhu, Erzhu had no breath.

Mydriasis.

Han Bingbing is about to roll up his sleeve and give Erzhu cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but he is stopped by Yilin.

"It's no use. He's poisoned."

Wang Bing told Han Bingbing the general situation.

"Poisoning?"

Han Bingbing, who is still in shock, can only reluctantly check Erzhu's body. Of course, she is not a forensic doctor. She can't make too professional judgment in the absence of conditions.

However, after a brief inspection of Erzhu's body, she frowned and said in a seven point affirmative tone: "the cause of death should be acute respiratory muscle paralysis and acute pulmonary edema... The nature of this toxin is a bit like nervous snake venom, but it is very toxic."

Yilin stood up.

A few steps forward.

Out of sight.

A white figure quietly melted into Yilin's body.

After Bai Xiaoyi floated around, under the shared vision, Yilin also obtained the surrounding intelligence.

No one.

Yilin has released the spirit body for the first time.

But we still can't find each other's trace.

There are only two possibilities. The agility attribute of enemy apostles is very high.

The second is that his distance exceeds the search range of Yilin.

Either way, it means it's tricky.

The other party is like a poisonous snake lurking in the fog, hunting prey slowly.

When the prey is not careful, it shows its poisonous fangs.

"A little trouble..."

Erin has a headache.

An Apostle who uses a highly poisonous Throwing Knife

I don't seem to have heard of this person.

It shouldn't be very famous.

In other words, it won't be too difficult to deal with.

But in the geographical location of fog in no man's land, the ability of the other party becomes very difficult.

The power of Throwing Knife should not be great, otherwise it will not cut such a shallow wound on the palm of Erzhu.

And if the Throwing Knife apostle had faith in his throwing knife, he would not use highly toxic, which is an unorthodox but practical way of killing.

Cautious, unscrupulous, sinister and shameless.

Yilin silently pasted several labels for each other.
