monster he just wants to be a good guy

“We were lied to by it”

The monster sensed movement from Lu Man's direction, and shook its head and looked in Lu Man's direction.

Meng Yongtao grabbed Lu Man's sleeve and watched the monster transform into the familiar face of his apprentice. Under the opened eyelids, the shiny black pupils full of youthful vigor had long disappeared, replaced by a pair of scarlet and muddy eyes.

He became a deserter, and Rong Chen fought to the last moment to protect them, but in the end not only was his life taken away by the monster, but even his face was taken away.

Meng Yongtao couldn't stop his legs from trembling. Under the intertwined remorse and fear, bitter water kept rising from his throat.

Lu Man noticed the shaking of the people around him, and looked forward calmly, looking straight into the monster's eyes.

There was a weak wind blowing from the depths of the corridor, and he could smell that there were still many monsters active in the deeper part of the base. He just heard the movement in the hall, and they all stepped towards this side with their claws.In order to rescue them before, it was enough to startle the snake, and it is better not to act rashly for the time being.

Lu Man pulled Meng Yongtao, and the two stood still in the dark. The monster didn't hear the sound, and then buried itself in the corpse of its own kind.

In the hall, only the sound of tearing flesh and chewing bones could be heard for a while.

After a while, it seemed to be satisfied with the meal. It grabbed the remaining half of the monster's wreckage, dragged its pace, and went to a deeper place.

Looking at the long bloodstain left on the ground, Lu Man couldn't help frowning.

He knew that many animals would take uneaten food back to their dens and store it in case they needed it.

The monster in front of him is going to take the wreckage... where is it going?

Before the huge arched back of the monster was about to disappear in the depths of darkness, a puff of misty mist went upstream against the wind direction and quietly attached to the monster.

Lu Man pursed his lips slightly, and instantly outlined the environment and movements around the monster in his mind.The monster that was targeted by Lu Man still walked deep into the base with "food" without noticing it.

When it was confirmed that the monster was gone, Lu Man turned his head to look at the pale Meng Yongtao, and said silently with his lips: "Let's go."

"Let's go..." Meng Yongtao was still staring at the monster's back in a daze, and only came back to his senses when Lu Man reminded him.

That would be the last time he saw Rong Chen's face, right?

Just as Meng Yongtao started to move his legs, he almost fell forward, but Lu Man quickly helped him up.

The base is full of twists and turns, here is a wall, and there is a corner, thanks to Meng Yongtao's familiarity with the route here, if Lu Man were left here alone, he would probably get lost for several days.

Meng Yongtao is responsible for leading the way, while Lu Man is responsible for avoiding risks. Whenever he senses a monster approaching in the distance ahead, he will hold Meng Yongtao, and the two wait for the monster to leave before moving on.It took a while to stop and go like this before finally arriving at the door of the radio station.

Looking at the iron door with a big hole in front of them, the two looked at each other. Lu Man didn't notice any living things inside, and slowly pushed the door open.

The twisted and broken door frame made strange creaking noises as it moved, and what caught the eye was the overwhelming blood and slurry, sprayed on the entire console in the form of splashes.

The blood had turned dark red and stuck to it, and part of the brain had solidified into a semi-solid, and even a lot had penetrated into the gaps in the gauze of the microphone.

Besides, there were no bloodstains left by dragging on the ground.

Di-tap-tick-tap, Lu Man's ears caught the slight sound, and when he looked up, he saw a wall clock embedded in the wall, with hands of different lengths rotating around the circle at different speeds.

Meng Yongtao followed Lu Man step by step, and Lu Man walked over to observe the microphone.

He stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the gauze with his nails. The texture of the sound was almost exactly the same as the sound Lu Man heard at the gate before. It seemed that Lin Yao had indeed sent a distress signal to the outside world.

Lu Man's finger was partially stained with blood. Under Meng Yongtao's shocked gaze, he put his fingertip into his mouth and tasted it like a child sucking his finger after eating candy.

"You, what are you doing!" Meng Yongtao was dumbfounded and failed to stop Lu Man in time, only now did he realize what a big deal this man had done, and suddenly pulled Lu Man's finger out.

"Hurry up, bah, come out!" Meng Yongtao spat outside as a demonstration.

Lu Man looked at him inexplicably, and Meng Yongtao suddenly realized that his voice was a little loud just now, and guilty of forgetting to glance at the leaky door, he lowered his voice and explained to Lu Man:

"It would be bad if it was the blood of a monster. Maybe you don't understand that it's not just animals. Humans will also become monsters if they ingest the blood of monsters."

"I'm fine." Lu Man shook his head and said there was nothing serious.

"Could it be the blood of Chief Lin? Could it be that he really met—"

"It's not human blood, it's monster blood."

Lu Man said these words with a flat face. He just tasted it, and he felt a slight burning sensation in his body.

It seems that after Lin Yao killed the monster, he escaped from the door.Other monsters broke in and devoured the wreckage, not even the bones left.

"Then you... Hurry up and take a few sips!"

Meng Yongtao couldn't help trembling, the instinct of fear of death made him subconsciously move away from Lu Man.

Lu Man had no choice but to stick out his tongue symbolically twice.

"Where did Chief Lin go?"

Meng Yongtao carefully peeped through the crack of the door, his vision was limited and he didn't dare to open the door wide, so he could only shrink back and walk back and forth in the room lightly.

Lu Man was also a little confused, the smell would leave traces, but the range was limited.

The breath overflows from the room along the way, and as the route turns east and west, it is gradually lost in all kinds of complicated smells, like a drop of water flowing into a complex ocean.

He could only roughly smell Lin Yao's breath, but he couldn't determine his location.

Since he couldn't find the direction from the outside, there might be clues in the broadcasting station. After all, Lin Yao stayed here before he left, and he must find a way to do something besides waiting.

After he told Meng Yongtao about this idea, the two began to search for clues.

"found it!"

Meng Yongtao took out a coil notebook, and Lu Man went over to it, and saw "Experiment Notebook" printed on the light blue cover, with various information marked in small characters on the bottom, and "Lin Yao" was written in the recorder's column. name.

He flipped it open, and the handwriting inside was neat and meticulous, as if it was directly typed out by a printing machine.

"Both fear and domestication are genetically determined."

This is written on the title page.

Lu Man turned a few pages back and got a general understanding of some background content—they found a few alienated monsters of apes in the newly appeared cave, and a series of experiments after bringing them back to the base.

Afterwards, the records of the experimental content were too detailed, involving many words that Lu Man could not understand.

"What does this mean?" Pointing to a certain technical term, he turned to ask Meng Yongtao.

"Ah, this... seems to be a real one, right?"

Meng Yongtao's eyes wandered, he was not as good as Lu Man, and he was not even familiar with the words of the experiment on the title.

Before the catastrophe broke out, Meng Yongtao was a gangster in school who hated studying. After the catastrophe broke out, everyone was out of school indefinitely, and all the words he recognized were learned back into the dog's belly.

Although Aurora, as a research organization in name, will conduct cultural and educational training for internal personnel, Meng Yongtao is not interested in participating.

When he was young, he was born and died with the reconnaissance team in the wilderness. After retiring, he soaked in goji berries as a security guard and waited to die.

Lu Man had no choice but to ask Xiao Ai for help in his mind, transforming the obscure sentences into easy-to-understand language.

Under Xiao Ai's "translation", Lu Man gradually realized that Aurora was trying to do a domestication experiment.

This is Aurora's 872nd attempt to find a suitable monster species.

In addition to the detailed records of the experimental content, Lin Yao's own thoughts were also noted in small print next to it.

"According to the theory of biological evolution, behavioral domestication and selection and reproduction are indispensable. However, the virus caused the monster to lose the ability to reproduce naturally, and it was impossible to select individuals with obedient genes to continue to reproduce. They had to try and error again and again until they found the right one." it". "

"No. 1 died during the obedience experiment. No. 2 was out of control and was disposed of. The situation of No. 3 to No. 5 remains unchanged. It is worth noting that No. 6 has already shown a certain degree of obedience, so focus on investigation."

……

"No. 6 is in excellent condition and can already understand the basic instructions given by the trainer."

"It's as smart as a human being, and sometimes I wonder if it's a monster, or just an animal that's too big and too powerful."

"The latest test results on the 6th show that the blood parameters in the body are constantly changing, and its size is also growing-I have a hunch, this time I will finally find it."

"The experiment moved to the next stage, moving from fearful obedience training to developing affinity."

"The second stage also went smoothly, and the trainer can already shake hands and touch No. 6's head."

……

"It's... no, they evolved."

"We were fooled by it."

After that, there is a blank space.

Lu Man flipped to the last page, and the paper on it was torn off, leaving an irregular gap, which seemed to be torn apart in anxiety.

Lu Man sniffed the scent, half-kneeled on the ground and bent down. Sure enough, he found the half piece of paper deep in the gap between the floor and the cabinet, and it seemed that he had accidentally dropped it in.

He stretched his hand into the slit, and in the blind spot of Meng Yongtao's line of sight, he stretched out his fingertips as octopus tentacles, and gently rolled up the half-sheet of paper.

"I have heard the good news of your rescue through the receiver of the intercom, but I cannot reply due to the damage of the microphone, so I hereby leave a letter to inform——

"Anyone who sees the letter, please leave here as soon as possible! I am about to get up and go to the central control room to activate the base self-destruct device.

"The time will be set at 6 o'clock in the morning."

Lu Man and Meng Yongtao subconsciously looked up at the wall clock. The hour and minute hands had overlapped.

It's almost 05:30.
