Chapter 009 : Counterattack

Both sides were injured, but the most seriously injured was the radiated species. Its hands had been torn apart by the black-eyed rats, and it could only stand there and bite the opponent with its mouth.

But the outcome is clear, the other party is bound to lose.

"Why."

Luo Xiu sighed, jumped to the side of the garbage station, studied the buttons next to it, and found that they were still usable.

So I pressed it without hesitation.

The door of the garbage station began to close slowly. The black-eyed rat realized that something was wrong and let go of the radioactive species and tried to leave.

But its wish was impossible to realize. The radiation species rolled over, clamped the black-eyed rat with its legs, and bit the scales on its body with its mouth.

Don't let it leave.

At this time, neatly arranged columns of fire rose from the ground, and the tops of the flames almost touched the ceiling which was more than ten meters high.

Soon, crackling sounds were heard from the two men's bodies, their flesh and blood were burning, and their scales were exploding.

Realizing the danger was approaching, the black-eyed rat moved towards the door that was not yet closed.

Finally, at the last moment, he grabbed the edge of the door that was about to close.

When it raised its head, Luo Xiu's figure appeared in front of it. He pointed the gun at it and fired a series of bullets.

The black-eyed rat kept shaking its head and swinging its tail, with bone spurs also shooting out from the tail.

Luo Xiu quickly rolled over to avoid it, and the half-foot long bone spur hit the ground, creating dazzling sparks.

The rat's tail poked out of the crack in the door and kept shooting at where Luo Xiu was, while its head also poked out of the door.

The tightly closed door stopped closing under the support of the opponent's claws. It can be seen that between life and death, the opponent also exerted great potential.

At this moment, a figure rushed over, grabbed the opponent's tail with one hand, and hit the black-eyed rat's head violently with his other fist.

Boom boom boom ...

The ground shook like a heavy hammer hitting a block of iron. A crisp sound came from the black-eyed rat's head, and black blood oozed out of its seven orifices at the same time.

The black-eyed rat was hit hard and fainted for a short time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man kicked it hard on the chin and kicked the black-eyed rat and the radioactive seed into the gate.

The unobstructed door slowly closed again.

The fire disappeared from Luo Xiu's eyes, and then the screams of the black-eyed rats and the laughter of the radioactive species were heard from inside.

He came to the side of Corporal Fang Yan, who had just appeared in time to block the black-eyed rat that was trying to escape.

The two stood side by side in front of the gate and saluted at the same time until no more sound came from inside.

"This may be the best outcome for him." Corporal Fang Yan lowered his arms.

Luo Xiu shook his head, "If it were me, I would want to kill all the people from the Red Umbrella Company."

Corporal Fang Yan glanced at him and said, "What's the point of killing them all? If there is no Red Umbrella Company, there will be Green Umbrella or White Umbrella Company. Unless all the Gru people are killed, otherwise, this experiment will continue to exist."

Without experiments, humans will not be able to evolve and will be exterminated by the Gru people.

And experimentation comes at a price.

It took some time for Luo Xiu and Corporal Fang Yan to wipe out the other black-eyed rats, and then they parted ways.

For this help, Luo Fei also received 1,000 contribution points.

Through manhole covers in other places, Luo Xiu returned to Laboratory No. 7 and met Academician Lin Qing again.

"You mean, it ran into the waste incineration station and committed suicide?" Academician Lin Qing widened his eyes.

Luo Xiu nodded regretfully, and took the test tube from his hand while he wasn't paying attention. He checked it and replied, "It's like this. It wants to die with dignity."

The liquid in the reagent tube was green, and a lot of bubbles were automatically generated inside, but they exploded in two seconds.

"What's the use of this?" Luo Xiu raised the reagent tube in his hand and asked Academician Lin Qing who was still in a daze.

He murmured , " How could this happen? It is the most important experimental subject. Among so many experimental subjects, it is the only one that still has the consciousness of a past human."

"Why would you be burned to death? Even if only a hair is left behind, it would be fine."

He was distracted when he suddenly heard Luo Xiu's words, but maybe he didn't hear it clearly and thought he was asking how to use it.

“This is how it’s used.”

He skillfully took out a needle from his pocket, snatched the reagent tube from Luo Xiu's hand, and placed the needle on it.

At this time, a communication message came from Luo Xiu’s personal terminal, on which appeared the portrait of Corporal Fang Yan, who had just separated.

"I just checked and found that you don't have a team yet. Are you interested in joining my team?"

As a new recruit, not even a third-class private, Luo Xiu could only follow behind logistics soldiers like Uncle Ku Yan to help out.

He will be assigned by the headquarters only when there is a vacancy in other teams or he is promoted to private third class.

Corporal Fang Yan's team is obviously a combat squad, and frequent fighting and attrition are the norm.

Therefore, his salary is also very high, about 6,000 contribution points.

For soldiers, there are not many uses for contribution points, and most of them will be given to their families. However, Luo Xiu has no family, and he just hopes to have some security when he retires.

Luo Xiu was delighted and was about to agree when he saw a needle suddenly inserted into his shoulder and the green liquid in the reagent tube slowly entered his body.

A cold feeling quickly spread throughout his body.

Luo Xiu looked at Academician Lin Qing blankly, "What are you doing?"

"Well, you're going to need it sooner or later anyway, I'm just helping you in advance." Academician Lin Qing said as a matter of course.

Then the needle was pulled out and a cotton swab was considerately placed on the needle eye.

"Just press it, the bleeding will stop soon."

"Dizzy ... " Luo Xiu rolled his eyes and fell down.

Corporal Fang Yan's voice was heard on his personal information terminal , " Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you?"

Care for life and stay away from salmon.

This was Luo Xiu’s last thought before he fell into coma.

I don’t know how much time has passed outside, but for Luo Xiu, the unconscious man, it was just a blink of an eye.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a white ceiling and white walls. There was a needle on his wrist with an IV bottle connected to the other end.

There was a white sheet on his body and a white bed underneath him.

Uh? Am I dead?

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, but when I saw the figure lying next to me, I reacted.

"Huh? So this is a hospital."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, glad that I was not killed by that needle.

He didn't die at the hands of the robbers, bloodhounds and black-eyed rats, but unexpectedly he almost died at the hands of the researcher.

Really, the threat is everywhere.

At this time, a holographic projection appeared in front of Luo Xiu. In addition to his full-body projection, there was also a line of words on it.

[Host was injected with an unknown drug, radiation level +100]

[Host has reached the evolution conditions, ready to evolve into a career - Radiation Engineer]

[Insufficient conditions, evolution failed, degenerated into radiation species]

[The host is detected to be in critical condition, the job transfer procedure is initiated, the radiation engineer job is assigned to the first-class soldier sequence]

[Host, please keep up the good work]

After reading it, Luo Xiu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Without the help of the system, he would definitely become a radioactive species and would either be studied or destroyed.

I had just woken up and hadn't had time to rest properly when the door outside was suddenly opened and a group of people surrounded me.

First of all, Uncle Kuyan, his injuries are no longer serious with the best medical treatment.

Next to her was Xiuying, who was wearing a green military uniform. Her eyes were red and it seemed that she had just cried.

Next came Corporal Fang Yan, which surprised Luo Xiu that he cared about him so much.

I guess after a process of fighting side by side, both sides have developed a certain emotional foundation, um, comradeship.

Next came Academician Lin Qing, who looked expectant. He was the first to ask:

"How do you feel? Do you feel anything different from before?"

Luo Xiu, who was originally happy, suddenly frowned, "Yes."

"What's the difference?" Academician Lin Qing quickly took out a small notebook to record it.

Luo Xiu looked at him expressionlessly, "I have the urge to beat you up as soon as I see you now."

"Eh?" Academician Lin Qing rubbed his head and wrote , " Subject No. 28 has violent tendencies ... "

Before he finished writing, he was pulled away by a man in a black suit. He was neatly dressed, wearing a black tie and a pair of sunglasses.

He crossed his arms in front of him and said in a businesslike tone , " Recruit Luo Xiu, I am Mo Yi, the lawyer of Red Umbrella Company. I am here to formally sue you on behalf of Red Umbrella Company."

"What?" Luo Xiu was stunned, "Why are you suing me?"

Lawyer Mo Yi said , " First, you trespassed into the Red Umbrella Research Base.

Second, you shot our scientific experiment.

Third, you spied on and leaked our scientific research results, causing great damage to our reputation.

Fourth, because of you, our security personnel had a conflict with your comrades.

Fifth, you stole the scientific research results of our Academician Lin Qing and obtained evolutionary genes that you should not have obtained.

Sixth ... "

He pondered for a moment and said , " I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it.

In short, you have to pay us 30 million contribution points as compensation, and become our experimental subject for free, giving us 120 years of scientific research. "

Everyone looked at him in silence, some sneered, some glared, and some grinned foolishly.

Luo Xiu looked at Academician Lin Qing. This guy was smiling so foolishly.

Of course Luo Xiu could not agree to their accusations, and said coldly:

"I deny all your accusations. Please don't disturb my rest. If you want to make further accusations, please contact my supervisor first."

"Then who is your boss?" Lawyer Mo Yi looked confused.

"If you can't find it, please contact the legion headquarters." Luo Xiu yawned. Was he kidding? He was a soldier of the Zhulong District Legion. Could anyone sue him?

He could have ignored everything except the military court.

Lawyer Mo Yi took out the document, looked at it for a few seconds, and said:

"According to the information, you accepted the mission privately. According to regulations, you are not protected by the military court."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people around them changed drastically, especially Xiuying, who burst into tears.

If she hadn't accepted it privately, Luo Xiu wouldn't have received such a complaint and almost died.

Seeing that she was blaming herself, Luo Xiu quickly comforted her:

"Xiuying, this is none of your business. You don't know what's going on. Stop crying."

"I, I ... " Xiuying didn't know what to say. She bit her lip and suddenly said to the lawyers:

"If you want to find someone to do the experiment with, then find me. I am willing to go with you."

Lawyer Mo Yi looked him up and down, his eyes lit up, "Okay, we welcome volunteers at any time."

"I said exchange, exchange, replace Luo Xiu." Xiuying was so angry that she yelled without caring about her image.

But lawyer Mo Yi still had a smiling face, as if he had the other party in his grasp.

At this time, Corporal Fang Yan said , " That's enough. Luo Xiu is a member of our Tianyun Marine Corps. He was carrying out a special mission according to my orders. So he can only be tried by a military court."

"What special mission?" Lawyer Mo Yi frowned.

Fang Yan sneered, "Humph, military secrets, no comment."

Lawyer Mo Yi frowned even more tightly, but then his brows suddenly smoothed out, as if he thought of something happy.

He placed the document in his hand next to Luo Xiu and said with a smile:

"This is our Red Umbrella Company's application to the Legion Headquarters, inviting new recruit Luo Xiu to come to our company now to complete a great experiment together."

Seeing Luo Xiu open his mouth, lawyer Mo Yi knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted him, "The application has been approved, so please don't refuse, otherwise you will be subject to military law."

Luo Xiu’s eyes widened immediately. He didn’t expect that this application would be approved.

"You don't want to ask for my opinion?"

For a moment, he felt abandoned by everyone.

When I think of that narrow room, the countless syringes, the torture day and night, and my own horrible face at the end.

Luo Xiu suddenly had the urge to tear the entire world apart.

Seeing the lawyer Mo Yi's raised mouth, Luo Xiu sat up instantly and punched him.

Lawyer Mo Yi fell to the ground, several teeth spurting out. He covered his mouth and said in disbelief , " What are you doing?"

"The side effects of your potion." After venting a little anger, Luo Xiu fell straight down again.

People around came over to comfort her, but every word she said was so pale.

The orders from the Legion Headquarters must not be disobeyed, otherwise you will be making an enemy of the entire Zhulong District.

Just then, another beautiful figure came outside. She was wearing the Zhulong District's top-level individual armor, the Flying Dragon-style armor.

This armor is silver-white with beautiful lines and angular joints. There is a flying dragon pattern engraved in the center, and a half cloak is draped on the back.

The person who came had a fair complexion, an oval face, a cherry mouth, and a gem on her head, which was locked by a silver necklace and long hair.

He had a gun on his left waist and a long whip on his right waist. It seemed that he could shoot from a distance or fight in close combat.

As soon as he saw the person coming, Corporal Fang Yan saluted and said loudly:

"Lieutenant Yulan, Corporal Fang Yan sends his greetings."

Ku Yan and others also saluted quickly, and Luo Xiu was no exception.

After so many years of development, military rank is still the standard for dividing levels in the military.

"Huh? Why haven't you returned to the team yet?" Lieutenant Yulan looked around and finally stopped at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan did not answer. He walked forward, picked up the documents on Luo Xiu's bedside, and then whispered something in her ear.

In the middle, he pointed to Luo Xiu and the lawyer Mo Yi respectively.

"Oh, yes, it's such a waste." After hearing this, Lieutenant Yulan casually tore the documents in his hand into pieces.

"This is issued by your army headquarters ... " Lawyer Mo Yi opened his eyes wide. He really didn't expect the visitor to be so bold.

"Really?" Lieutenant Yulan smiled and looked at him.

"Since it was issued by the Legion Headquarters, we have to release the person, right?"

Lawyer Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, "Yes, please hand Luo Xiu over to us, he is our important experimental subject."

However, Lieutenant Yulan shook her head and pointed her gloved index finger at him instead.

"I am ordering you as the Knight of the Tianyun. The situation is urgent. I hereby request that you become a soldier under my command. If you dare to disobey my request, I will have the right to kill you on the spot."

"No, you can't do this. Even if you are a knight, you will be punished, right?" Lawyer Mo Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Yes, I will be put in solitary confinement for ten days. I can afford it, but you only have one life." Lieutenant Yulan pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at the other party.

Luo Xiu was shocked. It turned out to be a neutron energy gun.

Lawyer Mo Yi was so frightened that he raised his hands and said tremblingly , " Okay, sir, I am willing to be your soldier."

"That's good." Lieutenant Yulan smiled, put away his gun, and then said:

"Just now a lawyer came to my team to ask for someone. I decided to let him take you away and let you help them complete the experiment."

I take myself away?

Lawyer Mo Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "This is not good. Red Umbrella Company specifically asked Luo Xiu to ... "

"You want Luo Xiu, right?" Lieutenant Yulan looked at Corporal Fang Yan, "Change the name of this guy in formal attire to Luo Xiu."

"Okay, Lieutenant." Corporal Fang Yan grinned.

Lawyer Mo Yi's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground. If he continued, he would be finished.

Many thoughts were running wild in his mind, and he quickly shouted righteously:

"As your subordinate, Lieutenant, I have the obligation to report the various inhumane experiments conducted by the Red Umbrella Company, as well as tax evasion, and the passing off of inferior scientific research results as good ones."

Lieutenant Yulan frowned, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said sternly , " Tell me everything you know."

Everyone felt Lieutenant Yulan's anger. No one wanted to fight desperately on the front line while the rear was trying to take their lives.

Who were they protecting with their lives? Was it themselves?

Lawyer Mo Yi was taken away by Lieutenant Yulan, and Academician Lin Qing was also taken away to testify.

Luo Xiu and others could only stare in amazement at Lieutenant Yulan's series of actions.

Apart from the big word "服", all that was left was prostration.

The crisis was resolved and everyone talked and laughed for a while.

Corporal Fang Yan then extended an invitation to Luo Xiu, "Would you like to join our Tianyun Combat Team?"

Luo Xiu looked at Uncle Ku Yan. Strictly speaking, he was Ku Yan's follower.

Fang Yan thought that Uncle Gu Yan was someone Luo Xiu had to seek advice from, so he immediately said:

"Ku Yan, are you willing to come? I can give you the position of logistics captain."

With Uncle Kuyan's physical condition, it is impossible for him to fight on the front line. Becoming a logistics team leader may be a good choice.

Ku Yan quickly agreed and became a soldier on the Tianyun battleship. This was the best position in the Zhulong District, after all, there was a battleship guarding it.

Moreover, the salary is very high. As long as he sticks in the position for two years, he can retire with honor.

Since Uncle Kuyan agreed, Luo Xiu naturally had to follow him.

"I want to go too." Xiuying was not willing to be outdone.

However, Fang Yan shook his head, indicating that he did not need female soldiers in his combat team.

Two days later, Luo Xiu, who had been discharged from the hospital, learned that the Red Umbrella Company had gone bankrupt, all its information and assets had been confiscated, and it began to liquidate its various illegal activities during the war.
