implication [end times]

When He Rongsheng woke up, he found himself lying in a strange gray and white room.

The room was not big, and various instruments covered in gray cloth were placed in the corners, which looked like medical equipment such as electric shock devices and defibrillators, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.More than 20 people were crowded in the room of less than [-] square meters. They were tied up like crabs and neatly stacked on the ground.He Rongcheng wanted to sit up, but found that he couldn't move. He looked down and saw that he had countless loops of rope wrapped around his body, as if he had wrapped a piece of clothing with hemp rope.

Seeing him waking up, a middle-aged man next to him turned around and said, "Seeing how they tied you up so tightly, you must be very capable, right? I think your clothes look like someone from the Security Bureau?"

He Rongsheng nodded, and there was a terrible pain in his head and neck. His tone was a little ashamed: "That's right, I came to the temporary isolation area to perform a task, and I was accidentally arrested."

In fact, according to the fighting abilities of He Rongsheng and Ding Taitai, they would not be easily restrained by that small group of humanoid monsters...at least not so quickly.At that time, when they heard what Roy said about food reserves, they secretly exchanged glances, and were quickly defeated, knocked out and thrown in.Of course, even if he struggled with all his strength, facing a group of humanoid monsters in such a small room and maybe even more monsters outside, He Rongsheng was not so confident.

What happened in the temporary quarantine area?Today is the day when the quarantine ends. If there are such man-eating monsters lurking among the tens of thousands of people who have been released, they can successfully pass through the inspection circle of the city defense forces outside the quarantine area, and when they return to the main city of the third ring road, the degree of harm can be imagined .

He Rongsheng stretched his neck strenuously, trying to look out from the tall window.The middle-aged man next to him spoke again: "Young man, what's your name? My surname is Lu, you can just call me Brother Lu. You didn't know it when you first came here. It looks like a hospital. Those monsters came in before to deliver food , when we opened the door, someone saw it."

"My name is He Rongsheng. How long have you been locked up here?"

"It's about two or three days for me. Most of them are newcomers in these two days. The oldest one has been here for four or five days." The man twisted his shoulders and pointed, "Well, it's the woman in the corner, I Wife. If it wasn't for that stinky bitch, I wouldn't have been arrested here. I came to her when I found out the news, but who knew that I would get involved too. You said it was a big deal..."

He Rongsheng looked over, and found that the face silently curled up in the corner was somewhat familiar.Combined with his disappearance, pregnancy, and the fact that he was so thoroughly refuted that day that he was deeply impressed, he quickly remembered that he had seen this face on the documents in the small conference room of the tenth team, it was the person named Xiao Yang missing person.

Before He Rongsheng could ask, the door of the small room was opened.Outside the door, some familiar paths were overgrown with bushes, and the surface was dense with seaweed. When the door was opened, a salty smell rushed in.

Two people in hospital gowns came in. They carried two plastic buckets in their hands, took out small bottles of nutritional supplements from the buckets, and squeezed the chins of the people in the room to force-feed them one by one.While feeding the two patients, they kneaded the human arms and legs from time to time, discussing the recent taste of the reserve grains—like farmers discussing whether chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs have gained weight, and when they can Butcher.

Soon it was He Rongsheng's turn.He Rongsheng's whole body was tied up like a cylinder, and when he was fed with his chin pinched, unpalatable nutrients were pushed straight down his throat. He felt like a fattened goose.

When he got close, He Rongsheng could see the hospital logo on the right chest of the patient gown.This is the mental hospital where he had been to the police before, and it was also the place where the sea ghost first broke out.The path outside the door was the path that the tenth team traveled when they first came to investigate the murder case. Combined with the layout of the house, it is very likely that this is the gray house they passed by at that time, the intensive care area.

When did this place become the lair of these monsters?After the outbreak of sea ghosts, isn't this a key supervision area?How did those monsters bypass the inspection of the city defense forces on the outer layer of the quarantine area and transport their "reserve food" here?What are they going to do next?

The more He Rongsheng thought about it, the colder his back became, the viscous liquid food forced into his throat made him nauseous.Thinking that after being fed these things, I would also become the monster's food, melted into liquid and then sucked up by the sharp mouthparts, the feeling of vomiting became stronger.But he didn't have this chance, before his stomach pouch began to shrink, the "person" pinching his chin narrowed his eyes and glanced at him up and down.The eyes of this "person" resembled a fierce fish on the bottom of the sea, giving people a slippery and gloomy feeling.He Rongsheng felt his throat tightened, suppressing the discomfort.

After the feeding was over, two people in hospital gowns left with plastic buckets, Brother Lu came alive again, and twisted towards He Rongsheng like a worm: "Little He, you are the most powerful of our group, you We have to find a way to help us escape."

Others in the room echoed one after another, looking very scared.He Rongsheng took a quick look and found that most of these people were young and middle-aged people, they looked strong and strong, and they were indeed good food for those monsters.There is only one exception, that is Xiao Yang, a pregnant woman in the opposite corner. She was neither tied up nor fed nutrition just now.In front of her was a dinner plate, which contained patient meals from the cafeteria of the mental hospital, which could even be considered rich.

"I don't know the situation outside. It may be more dangerous to escape rashly." He Rongsheng said, "I sent a message for help to my colleague, and he will come to rescue us."

Having said that, He Rongsheng was also beating a small drum in his heart.He was transported here while he was in a coma. I don't know if Ran Yu and the others can find him.Those monsters even dared to attack the guards. I don't know if they were hungry or too confident-could the temporary isolation area be controlled by them?

Wouldn't it be dangerous for Ran Yu and the others to go there at this time?He Rongsheng felt anxious when he thought of this incident, but he couldn't pass on the news to the outside world, and the communication items of the people locked up here had already been confiscated.He took a lucky look at Xiao Yang's wrist, it was empty, no exception.

Brother Lu's gaze followed He Rongcheng to see Xiao Yang in the opposite corner, and couldn't help but spit: "The most dangerous is in this room!"

He Rongsheng came back to his senses: "What? Are you talking about your wife?"

Brother Lu's tone was full of resentment: "What wife, she is a monster now! Do you know why she is the only one who is not tied up? Because she is about to turn into a monster and eat us!"

He Rongsheng showed a surprised expression. Seeing this, Brother Lu said in a well-informed tone: "I have a relative who is engaged in scientific research in the first ring. Let me tell you this. Those who can stick out long needles The things that wear human skin but eat people are all sea ghosts! What is their scientific name, oh yes, parasitism. Before the establishment of the main city, this kind of thing was very powerful. It popped out... Xiao Yang got a ghost thing in his stomach, it didn't grow much when I came here, and now it looks like it's seven or eight months pregnant."

He Rongsheng took a closer look and found that the pregnant woman named Xiao Yang who was leaning against the corner to take a nap had a swollen belly, as if something was bumping inside.Xiao Yang in his sleep couldn't escape the pain, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he let out a painful cry from his throat from time to time.

If He Rongsheng remembered correctly, the previous disappearance report showed that Xiao Yang's pregnancy should only be about three or four months.

An infected parasite who was pregnant, a room full of food reserves, a small closed environment, and a face stuck outside the window to check the situation from time to time, all this gave He Rongsheng a strange feeling.These parasitic sea ghosts seem to be doing some...experiments with Xiao Yang.

After Ran Yu received the distress message, he thought for a while and chose to leave through the window.Although Lou Yue's house is on the 12th floor, fortunately, there is a not narrow window sill on each floor window.Ran Yu's body was strong, and he didn't waste much time climbing down from level to level.He could have been faster if he hadn't been injured.

He Rongsheng didn't ask his work unit for help but went to him directly. He must have encountered some urgent matter, and he probably chose the nearest contact person directly.

On the way to the third ring road by tram, Ran Yu originally wanted to talk to Lou Yue, but remembering the other party's expression last night, he might not be happy to see him sneak out with injuries, so he decided to solve the problem and then go back quietly, making a serious appearance. It looks like he hasn't been out before—after all, he himself first proposed to stay at home so as not to endanger others, and he can't blame Lou Yue—though it's still strange when he thinks about it again.In the city, would good friends lock each other up like this?Ran Yu asked himself, at least he didn't have such thoughts about He Rongsheng.

As for Lou Yue, if he thinks this is a way of communicating between good friends to show concern, then it seems that it is not impossible to reciprocate the courtesy...?

Because Lou Yue is a very disobedient person, even though his injuries are not fully healed, he still runs around to work.If you keep him at home and boil bone soup for him a few more times, maybe his injury will heal faster.

Ran Yu didn't have time to think about it.The passage between the checkpoints was very smooth. Since being seconded to the Yihuan Inspectorate, Ran Yu's identity card also has the right to facilitate passage.On the way, Ran Yu contacted the members of the tenth team. Ding Taitai's number could not be dialed. Li Shuxiu drank at home and did not go to work. Fortunately, Zhan Yiye's number could be dialed.After Zhan Yiye had a brief understanding of the situation, he asked Ran Yu to come to the Third Ring Security Bureau first, and she would ask colleagues from other departments to inquire about the situation first.

When Ran Yu arrived at the Third Environmental Security Bureau, Professor Yan Ai happened to be there.Ran Yu conveniently handed her the electronic watch that he was going to bring earlier.

Yan Ai was surprised: "Lou Yue said he would go back to pick you up, but you ran out by yourself?"

For some reason, Ran Yu felt like he was caught doing something: "Ah... yes, I received a distress message from He Rongsheng. He is in danger now. I don't know if something happened in the temporary quarantine area."

"Strange, the Security Bureau doesn't seem to have received any news." Zhan Yiye, who was watching the surveillance, said, "The colleagues in the temporary quarantine area did not report any abnormalities, and it is true that Captain Dante and He Rongsheng cannot be contacted. It seems that the communicator is malfunctioning. Anyway, let's go and have a look first. I have already applied for manpower, vehicles and weapons while you are on the road, let's go."

"Wait, get something first." Yan Ai said, and took out a few small glass boxes from his handbag, "I have a bad hunch, you may need this."

Inside the glass case were several vials filled with a red liquid, clear in color.

"It was called the magic talisman reagent by the inventor at that time, and it was a product before the era of the main city." Yan Ai said, "Just now I learned that parasitic sea ghosts may appear, and I temporarily prepared them according to the previous literature, so that you can distinguish them Sea ghosts and humans. Parasitic sea ghosts look no different from humans, except that they have no memory of past people, and the mouthparts in the palm of the hand can be freely retracted. If you want to quickly identify whether a person is a parasitic sea ghost, you can use the A few drops of the reagent dripped onto his skin, and it turned blue to tell him he was."

"What is the success rate of this reagent? Could it be a misjudgment?" Zhan Yiye asked.

"Unless they conduct genetic experiments and fuse the genes of humans and sea ghosts, this reagent will not go wrong." Yan Ai said, "But it is theoretically impossible, although they are also considered intelligent creatures, but the science It’s not something that can be achieved overnight with only wisdom.”

Yan Ai seemed exhausted, and she didn't dare to take a rest due to the successive changes in the recent period, but she still managed to smile and comforted the two police officers: "Although disasters keep happening, science will always be our last priority." Reliable support. Go and wait for your good news."
