Chapter 122 Overdrawing Physical Strength
Vina had just run here to look for the little female when she heard a noise.
Fortunately, I made it in time.
She grabbed his hand tightly and ran in the opposite direction.
Michelle momentarily forgot her germaphobia, her expression freezing for a second as she stared blankly at their touching hands, before Vina pulled her along.
What? Where did this female come from?
Michelle's thoughts were somewhat confused.
It's rare that he has time to think about such trivial things.
A wave of heat rolled in behind them; it was the first time Michelle had ever been dragged away by other females to escape.
He could have easily killed that monster without even lifting a finger.
The female was wearing a protective suit, but the high temperature quickly melted the protective material and shrunk it into a ball.
Vina felt that if she didn't take off her protective suit soon, she might actually die from the heat or suffocate inside.
So he simply ripped off the protective mask he was wearing, bit the handle of the laser sword in his mouth, and tore off the protective suit that was already shrinking due to heat.
Her long, golden hair shone like platinum under the bright magnesium light, and Michelle could only see the way her hair was flying and a small part of her profile.
Was she saving herself?
As soon as she finished thinking about it, Michelle couldn't help but laugh at herself.
They even threw a flashbang and made him hold her hand tightly. If they weren't saving him, what were they doing?
Vina and Michelle, pulling each other along, ran quite a distance before stopping.
Michelle was still staring blankly at the hand that she had just pulled away with to run away.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
"Hmm? Yes, I've been here before."
Vina wiped her sweat and asked, her blue eyes full of concern, "Sir, are you alright? How did you end up here?"
“I came here to…” Michelle smiled, “I just got lost and am not very familiar with District D yet.”
"Oh, that's really bad news," Vina said, recovering her composure. "Do you need me to show you the way?"
Although she didn't know who that glowing male was, Vina guessed he wasn't just idly visiting District D.
Dressed so smartly, how could she get lost in Zone D?
“Just walk straight to the end of this road and you’ll see the elevator,” Vina kindly reminded her. “Remember to disinfect.”
“Hmm,” Michelle smiled at her, “Aren’t you coming with me?”
"I am a volunteer here, and I want to do my job well."
After the female left, the smile that Michelle had been maintaining on her face vanished.
How could there be such a selfless female?
how is this possible.
Let's just say I was rescued by a small animal.
Michelle wiped her hands over and over again, unable to suppress a cold laugh.
After he left, the light streaming through the gaps in the empty elevator shone on the tissues on the floor.
As the elevator doors closed, the crumpled tissue lay quietly in the darkness.
Not far away, Vina searched through the haphazard passageways based on her memory, remembering that the last sound had come from nearby.
Using the location tracking on her personal terminal, Michelle finally spotted the shattered protective suit around a corner.
It has a very strong pheromone from the insect mother.
Even Klein couldn't smell it before, so the Queen of Insects must have intentionally controlled the release of pheromones.
The scent on the fabric should come from being close to the skin.
Thinking this way, I felt a little happier and hummed a little tune as I walked deeper into Zone D.
For a fleeting moment, the potential unleashed within Shen Qingqing propelled her to a rapid increase in speed, allowing her to shake off the monster.
Leaning against the wall, panting heavily, Shen Qingqing realized that her body was trembling uncontrollably once she stopped.
Adrenaline had exhausted all her strength during her desperate escape, and now she had no strength left to stand up.
Her trembling legs seemed unable to support her body any longer, and Shen Qingqing almost instantly lost her strength, sliding down the wall to the floor.
The quantum computer on his arm was still flashing, and the positioning function on it was always on. Moreover, the real-time positioning showed that someone was heading in this direction.
Unable to even lift her arms, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but let tears roll down her cheeks. Her personal terminal showed that the final message had been sent.
Now, there's no need to worry about anyone entering Zone D.
She leaned her head slightly against the cold wall, her protective suit torn to shreds. If the virus was airborne, then in her current situation, it was no different from not taking any protection at all.
The headlamp above her head was lost somewhere during her run, and darkness surrounded her, seemingly about to engulf her.
In the darkness, Shen Qingqing vaguely heard a rustling sound.
Is it an illusion?
I struggled to open my eyes, but all I saw was darkness.
After finally getting used to the darkness, Shen Qingqing discovered that not far in front of her, there was indeed an unknown object moving towards her.
Realizing the source of the sound, Shen Qingqing immediately snapped out of her daze and tried to struggle away.
But now his muscles ached and he felt weak all over. He didn't even have the strength to lift his arm to brush away the stray hairs blocking his eyes, let alone run away.
She is so tired.
In her mind, Lao Ba frantically called out her name, "Host, hold on! That monster is testing you!"
"I……"
She no longer had the strength to lift her hand, nor even the strength to move her lips to speak.
[Host, wake up! Get your adrenaline pumping!!]
Lao Ba is still trying his best to encourage her.
But Shen Qingqing could only manage a faint smile from the corner of her mouth, to prove that she was still alive.
He probably ran out of adrenaline a long time ago, otherwise his body wouldn't be so weak.
Even breathing was so difficult.
Shen Qingqing felt dizzy and realized she was probably lacking oxygen.
The heart pumps blood throughout the body with each contraction and relaxation, promoting blood circulation to maintain the body's basic functions.
But this still couldn't alleviate her situation of seeing blackouts.
Red blood cells in the blood can only transport a limited amount of oxygen, which cannot be supplied to the whole body. They can only prioritize supplying oxygen to the heart to maintain basic physiological functions.
The giant centipede slowly crawled over, stopping less than three meters away from Shen Qingqing. Then it tried to stick its head out and quickly probe her.
Seeing that she didn't move, they became even bolder and directly tightened the encirclement, completely surrounding Shen Qingqing.
It was at this moment that Shen Qingqing suddenly regained some strength. With difficulty, she opened her eyes and saw fangs wriggling and intertwining inside, wrapped in thin skin and flesh.
What's this……
She fell into a brief coma before she could think, and when she woke up again, she saw a white figure blocking her way.
Did someone come to rescue her?
"No... its blood... corrodes..."
"What?" Michelle turned around. "What are you trying to say?"
"Blood...blood corrosion..."
After finally managing to hear those words clearly, Michelle scoffed, "You think I'd be corroded by its blood? You underestimate me."
