Chapter 5 Four
Feng Ling sat quietly on the hospital bed.
When actually using the mark, she discovered that the killer bees' abilities had changed somewhat after being digested.
For example, now, her body does not need to move, but her sight can follow the ribbon-like mist out of the ward, through the corridor and the pantry, through the first-floor window to the street outside.
She saw cars, passers-by, and landscape trees.
The colors of everything were so dull, except for the thick and eye-catching mist in front of her, which continued to attract her forward.
She followed the fog into the drainage well at the corner of the street, walked a long distance in the dark and humid sewer, and then returned to the ground. After a series of twists and turns, she arrived at the townhouse area and entered one of the villas.
Feng Ling saw a strange scene.
In the living room on the first floor of the villa, a woman covered in bright red half-climbed out of a moving pool of blood.
Her body was made up of countless bloodworms. Because the gunshot wound was too severe, fist-sized holes kept appearing on her body as it was re-condensing, with hundreds of bloodworms and clanking bullets falling out.
The tiny bugs fell to the floor, wriggling and crawling back into the pool of blood, merging into the sticky blood.
During this process, the woman's expression was extremely painful and her bright red lips opened and closed.
Although Feng Ling couldn't hear any sound, he could guess what the woman was cursing.
She lay in a pool of blood, with bugs constantly pouring out of her wounds, which then kept absorbing blood. After struggling for a long time, the fist-sized holes gradually became the size of a bottle cap, then the size of a finger cap, and finally only the size of a pinhole.
The body's repair is finally complete.
The woman crawled out of the pool of blood, her skin was smooth and rosy, and no wounds were visible anymore.
Feng Ling watched the whole process and couldn't help but sigh that this alien species really had the capital to break into the Supervisory Bureau single-handedly.
Just these bugs.
Unless a rocket launcher directly blows it up, no matter how serious the wound is, it can be repaired by the bloodworms and cannot be killed at all.
How do I kill this thing...
Feng Ling began to ponder.
The woman had no idea that Feng Ling was seeing her every move. After repairing her body, she picked up a blanket from the sofa, put it on herself, and then lay down to rest.
Feng Ling waited for a while, and when he saw that the woman didn't move, he withdrew his gaze.
The reddish mist is still there.
——The mark is valid for 12 hours. As long as it does not exceed this time, she can track the woman's location again at any time.
There were footsteps outside the ward.
Feng Ling looked up and saw the nurse come in and replace the blood bag with a new one for her.
The nurse's eyes were red, perhaps because she had just been scolded, but she was still very conscientious when facing Feng Ling, "You have lost too much blood. After this bag of blood, you need two more."
Feng Ling asked her: "How much is my medical expenses?"
The nurse was stunned. "I'm not sure about this. We usually only receive people from the Supervision Bureau."
The nurse thought Feng Ling was worried about the high medical expenses, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, whether you are an inspector or not, the medical expenses will be paid by the Inspection Bureau until you recover, and your treatment will not be delayed."
Feng Ling glanced at the new blood bag and asked, "How is plasma usually stored?"
"Ah?" The nurse answered hesitantly, "... stored in a blood bank refrigerator at about 4 degrees Celsius. Is there any problem?"
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Nothing, just asking casually."
The nurse was a little confused, but didn't ask any more questions and left the ward in a daze.
Feng Ling closed his eyes and rested.
She could feel that as the lost blood was replenished, her body was recovering quickly. Maybe by night... no, maybe just two more hours, she would be fully recovered. "Plasma needs to be stored in an environment of about 4 degrees Celsius, not too cold, not too hot... Those blood-sucking worms are probably the same. If it's too cold, they will freeze, and if it's too hot, they will... become cooked?"
She muttered to herself in the ward.
…………
……
As night falls, the bustling city returns to silence again.
Feng Ling drove the rented pickup truck to the slightly desolate villa area, parked the car and turned off the engine.
Plans change.
She had prepared a lot of good things, including gasoline, alcohol, coal, flour... and also collected a few worn-out cotton mattresses from the scrap yard.
The opponent's ability is nothing more than using insects to paralyze the target first and then suck the blood.
She was immune to paralysis poison, and her blood-sucking attacks could be interrupted by the bone blade. The only problem was how to stop the woman from escaping.
Feng Ling's plan was to seal all the doors and windows of the villa with fire.
But she used her marking ability to check and found that there were three more people in the villa besides the woman.
Accomplice?
Four?
She was confident that she could kill one alien, but with four, the variables were too great, especially since she knew nothing about the abilities of the other three.
...Or I'll leave?
Feng Ling sat in the car with an ugly gloomy look on his face.
She almost lost her life when she was ambushed today, and now she has chased the enemy to their lair, but she can't take revenge?
She got out of the car with a gloomy face and walked in through the wide-open iron gate.
——Since we are here, we should at least get a clear idea of the strength of these guys first.
There was no security guard at the gate, maybe he was lazy or maybe there was no security guard at all. Two rows of dark townhouses stood in front of us, and not far away was a construction site with piles of cement, sandbags and messy construction materials.
After Qingjiang City was designated as a high-risk area, many construction sites were stopped, and the bosses fled with their funds to safer cities, leaving behind a number of unfinished projects.
These alien species are quite good at choosing places, and the villa they moved into is the only high-quality model room.
The untrimmed plants in the courtyard grew wildly, and their lush branches and leaves blocked out the lights on the first floor.
Feng Ling climbed over the wall in the dark, went around to the backyard, and saw the situation in the villa through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
In addition to the woman who attacked her, there were two men, one fat and one thin, and a little girl wearing a skull mask.
The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, curled up on the ground with bruises all over her body.
The woman sat on the sofa with a blanket wrapped around her and asked, "Did we catch the wrong person? I have been asking for a long time but got no clues. It disturbed my rest."
"It's impossible that we caught the wrong person!" The fat man yelled, irritated. "She posted anonymously on the forum to invite people to form a team to enter the maze. We coaxed her out for half a month before we finally caught her! It can't be wrong!"
"Then why doesn't she know the entrance to the maze?" the woman asked.
"She knows!" the fat man continued to yell, "She won't cry until she sees the coffin, and she's stubborn and refuses to say it!"
"Okay, stop arguing." The tall and thin man on the other side spoke up and frowned at the woman, "What happened to you today? Where did you go during the day? Why are you so injured?"
The woman gathered the blanket around her and said nonchalantly, "I went to the Supervisory Bureau. Didn't the news today say that an alien was shot dead in Tianshui Park? The cards must have been taken away by the Supervisory Bureau, so I wanted to see if I could find some."
"Did you pick it up?" the fat man came over and asked.
