I'm not Yingjie

Faced with the crisis, Kevin simply calmly stopped the thrust. This was just a feint, so he retracted his force very quickly. Then he took a step back and brushed the tip of the knife. In his left hand, he held the gun that had been prepared long ago against the head of the loyal ninja warrior who was close at hand and pulled the trigger.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two shots made two holes in the assassin's head. Kevin kicked the unsupported body away, then raised his rifle and shot at the remaining assassins in the room.

The Honkai energy leaked by a large number of dead warriors has begun to transform some researchers into dead warriors. These people who were originally screaming have now turned into zombies and pounced on their former companions.

"Is this an accident?" Kevin shot the last assassin in the head, took a breath, and then immediately ran to the small room where Mei was. He opened the door and saw Mei sending a message to Lin through the communicator.

"Mei! Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I've been injected with inhibitors, so I can move around here for now." Mei typed the last word, stood up and walked to Kevin's side. "Kevin, the anti-proliferation device has blocked the floors above the fifteenth floor. Now we just need to wait for support."

"Okay, then just stay here and don't move."

"No, we have to go rescue people. This incident is too strange. We arrived just as an explosion occurred and the death squad was breached... There may be survivors now. We have to rescue them."

"but you……"

"Don't worry about me. Didn't Changkong City come here like this back then?"

Kevin, who was originally hesitating whether to rescue people, immediately made up his mind and pulled Mei towards the rooftop.

While going upstairs, Kevin killed all the assassins he encountered, and searched each floor to see if there were any survivors.

The explosion had a huge impact range, and every floor above the fifteenth floor showed signs of explosion. It was not an ordinary accident at all, but a deliberate attack with a well-hidden bomb.

The shocking scene made Kevin pale, but he still forced himself to step over the blurred corpses and tried to keep Mei away from the corpses.

No one knows whether those who died in this environment of Honkai energy concentration will really be unable to move.

"Click..."

When passing by a small room that was blown to pieces, Kevin heard the sound of gravel shaking and vigilantly pointed the muzzle of his gun in the direction of the sound.

"who is it?"

The voice of people is that of survivors!

After being stunned for a moment, Kevin immediately walked forward a few steps to the pile of rubble, put down his gun, and started digging the rubble with both hands.

Then, a familiar man with a bloody face appeared in front of him, lying in the ruins dying.

"Dr. Spasey?"

Chapter 46 Justice

"Dr. Spasi, how are you?"

Kevin sped up his digging when he saw the head, and slowly pulled Spasi out of the rubble with both hands. As the horrific scars on Spasi's body appeared before his eyes, Mei's expression became more and more serious.

Finally, when Spasi's left forearm covered with purple stripes was revealed, Kevin still didn't realize what it meant.

"Dr. Spasi, take my hand..."

"Wait a minute, Kevin." Mei stopped Kevin. When she squatted down to check Spasi's arm, she saw a small arm under the rubble. "There's someone else."

After another excavation, Kevin gasped when he saw the silk fabric that appeared.

Twisted and ugly purple stripes spread from the legs that were deformed by the silk fabric all the way to the neck. The collapse energy representing death was moving in these stripes like breathing, and was still spreading visibly, and was about to spread to the face.

If someone is corroded to this extent, he will die immediately if he does not become a dead soldier. His vital parts have been soaked with Honkai energy. Even if he is given an inhibitor, it will only take a few minutes or hours. Moreover, there is only one shot of the inhibitor left in Mei's body.

There are two people who need inhibitors now, one is Sizhi and the other is Spasik. If Spasik is injected now, Mei still has a chance to perform resection surgery on him immediately, but Sizhi...

This was not a difficult choice for Mei. If she were to swap situations with Sizhi, she would make the same decision.

She immediately took out the inhibitor, tore open Spasi's charred sleeve, and stabbed him in the arm with the syringe.

Sipasi retreated back in fear, avoiding the syringe, looking at the dying Sizhi and begging: "No... give it to Sizhi..."

This was a sudden destruction that no one had expected. Nearly a hundred lives were lost in an instant. This was so sudden and cruel to Spasi... no, it was so sudden and cruel to everyone in the Fifth Branch.

Spasi didn't know the cause of the accident, nor did he care about his left arm being corroded by Honkai. He just wanted Mei to give the inhibitor to Sizhi.

He knew better than anyone how weak the inhibitor's effect was on Sizhi, but he still hoped for a miracle that was impossible to happen. What if... What if Sizhi's physique was very special? Maybe Sizhi had the healing serum for Honkai disease that he had been looking for, but it just needed an inhibitor to activate it?

His mind was in a mess and he was unable to think any further. He only knew that if the inhibitor was injected into his body... Sizhi would die.

Kevin was also in a state of confusion. He was staring at Mei who had not taken any action for the time being. At this time, he could only believe that Mei would make the right judgment.

The cruelty of the collapse, Kevin's first time to come into such close contact with it.

And this is far from the end.

"Gah-"

Kevin's hair stood on end.

Spasi's eyes widened.

Mei turned her head indifferently and looked at the figure who stood up shakily.

Death warrior.

"Mei..." Kevin stood up and took a step forward, standing in front of Mei.

He swallowed and tried to raise the gun, but his hand felt heavy, as if someone was dragging his arm and making him unable to move.

Mei turned her head, raised the syringe, and gave simple and clear instructions: "Kevin, shoot."

"Don't... please, Dr. Mei..." Spasi's tears dripped from the corners of his eyes onto the floor like a floodgate was released. He begged Mei with a cold face, "Karen must be saved... please... can you temporarily detain Karen? I will definitely develop a..."

Kevin's pupils dilated, and he seemed unable to exhale the air from his lungs to his throat. His mind was a mess.

Now, he should just shoot and kill the approaching assassins. No matter who they were in their lifetime, after being eroded by Honkai, they are all puppets of Honkai energy, so Kevin will not be stingy with his bullets and sympathy.

But at this moment, the arm that would not waver even at the critical moment of life and death was shaking.

Because, the assassin who stood up was none other than Spasi's wife, Karen.

Her originally beautiful gem-like blue eyes were replaced by horrifying whites, her skin turned the pale color commonly seen on dead warriors, her flawless white hair was stained with dirt and blood, and she dragged her feet slowly towards their location.

Are you going to kill her here?

In front of her husband and children? Just pull the trigger and... shut her down?

Killing his beloved in front of Spasi?

The person who turned into a dead man in Kevin's eyes at this moment was not Karen, but Mei.

If he was lying in the ruins at this moment, watching Mei walking towards him like a dead man, and another man raising a gun to kill Mei.

Will I also let out a heart-wrenching scream? Will I cry and beg for mercy?

What if it was Lin? What would he do?

The face of the man holding the gun gradually turned into Lin's.

He turned a deaf ear to Kevin's wailing, and then pressed the trigger that led to his friend's death.

"Dr. Spashi, maybe what I'm going to say next is not humanitarian, but in my opinion, only truly curing the Honkai disease and saving humanity is justice." Mei pushed her glasses, and the cold light from behind the lenses made people feel cold. "Please don't doubt my choice. You are an important talent in fighting the Honkai disease, and I can't save them."

"Kevin, shoot."

May held up the syringe.

Kevin raised his pistol.

The white-haired boy gripped the gun handle with both hands, stopped his shaking hands, and turned all his kindness into a determination to end the pain, pointing it at Karen's forehead.

His fingers closed.

"No - no -" Spasi struggled and stretched out his hand.

"Oh!"

The bullet pierced Karen's head.

Time stopped for Spasi.

In the frozen time, his nerves had already collapsed, looking at Karen falling forward, looking at Sizhi breathing rapidly, looking at Mei stabbing the syringe into his shoulder, looking at the shocked Kevin and...

Lin was standing in the distance, firing a shot.

"Zi..."

All the inhibitors were injected into his body, and Spasi's nerves collapsed and he fainted.

"Lin..." Kevin's body was shaking. His lips couldn't stop trembling as he looked at the helmeted man who put down his gun.

Lin walked up past Kevin, picked up Sizhi, and then walked towards the top of the building without looking back.

"Let's go and perform the resection on the rooftop." His voice was as cold as ever.

As if nothing happened.

Lin lowered his head and stretched out his fingers to gently touch Sizhi's face.

……

"...Team Leader Lin."

A man was kneeling on the roof.

Tears are like pearls that have broken off the string.

There was a dead body lying beside him.

Chapter 47 The Minority and the Majority

Human beings always look back at the past and point fingers at the history that is too painful to recall, as if doing so will alert themselves to create a better future.

But this is not the case.

……

[The support from the third branch will arrive in seventeen minutes and thirty-one seconds]

Lin picked up some fragments from the ground and scanned the remaining blackened metal pieces for traces of contamination.

The results came out in a short while, a little faster than Lin had imagined, but after seeing the list of ingredients displayed, he understood why.

Almost all of them are new substances that have never been discovered, and at least 80% are artificially synthesized. This can also explain why he did not find these bombs when he first scanned the fifth branch. Like the big sword, they all used new technology that Lin could not access yet.

Lin was not surprised that the bombs were not found, but that man was able to set up so many bombs in the Fifth Branch without anyone noticing, and open the detention facility that only the branch's top brass could open with physiological authority...

For some things, even if you don’t know the whole picture, the answers are obvious.

"What if humans let you down one day?"

Alicia's question echoed in Lin's ears.

Lin slowly closed his palm, squeezed the fragments into a ball, and let them fall to the ground.

A new notice received by Prometheus made Lin's gaze completely frozen.

[Lin, one minute and thirteen seconds ago, the killer resisted while being escorted to the headquarters. He was executed on the spot. The execution video has been recorded in the database.]

Executed on the spot? Less than half an hour passed between the time of detention and transportation, and the killer was executed, and his identity had not even been interrogated. Moreover, it was on a transport plane with only prisoners and escorts?

Using the Fire Moth's technology to create a realistic video clip might be easier than Lin killing a Honkai beast.

Lin Shou stood in the corridor leading to the top floor, looking at the devastated Fifth Branch and secretly tightened the pistol in his holster.

"What's next?"

[It was originally planned to be detained in the "Deepest Place" after interrogation. The body will now be transported to the headquarters for autopsy and identity investigation. This is published information. You do not have enough authority to view the follow-up.]

"The deepest place?" Lin whispered the strange name softly.

[Information that is not yet included in the database]

In other words, regarding the handling of the "corpse", people with the authority of "captain" and below are only able to know so much, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a blank.

An incident that almost destroyed an entire branch was ultimately handled in such an unclear way, covered up like an old woman's fig leaf, emitting a foul stench but without revealing the full picture.

Well, I'm afraid it won't be long before an announcement about this incident is issued. The content will probably be an investigation report on the attack on the Fifth Branch by some vague mysterious organization, and then they will continue to follow up on the investigation of this "mysterious organization" whose technology is comparable to or even superior to that of the Fire Moth. It may also hint that the cause of the attack is the Fire Moth's transformation of humans.

You asked where the mysterious organization is? Please, since it is a "mysterious" organization, then of course it is "unknown yet". We are also investigating.

Even if everyone understands but doesn't know, there is no problem in replacing these four words with "No comment".

"Forest."
