Outside the North Fifth Ring Road, there is an abandoned chemical factory site waiting for demolition.
Overgrown with weeds, with rusted pipes and broken glass everywhere, it was one of the locations where three of the bodies were found.
The air is filled with rust, dust and a faint sweet smell.
The scene has been cordoned off by colleagues who arrived earlier, and several forensic and technical investigators are working carefully in dim light.
Zhang Jianguo arrived with Chen Jin and two other police officers to take charge of additional investigation and visits to the surrounding area.
The sun shines through the huge holes in the factory roof, casting several thick beams of light, cutting out areas of intertwined light and dark on the oily and dusty ground.
Chen Jin is squatting in a relatively bright open space, pretending to check for traces on the ground. It's not that he is lazy, these people are obviously some of Yanfu Walker who died last night, and there is no way to find out the results.
Yandu's Public Security Bureau suffered this unwarranted disaster. I don't know how many people will be punished. I sympathize with them silently.
Zhang Jianguo was still communicating with the forensic doctor in a low voice not far away, frowning. "... No obvious trauma can be found again? Something is wrong!"
"The technical detectives took photos, and when we get back we have to post the "Notice of Recognition of the Body" as soon as possible."
"Xiao Chen, go back and look through all the "missing persons registrations" in the city in the past half month, and focus on seeing if there are any matches."
"I will report back to the city bureau and issue a "coordinated investigation notice". If the "source of the body" cannot be found clearly, the case will not be solved at all!"
Soon, instructions from superiors came down. In view of the seriousness of the case and the extremely bad impact, the Municipal Bureau decided to quickly set up a "Series of Bizarre Deaths" task force, allocating capable forces from various branches and police stations to focus on handling the case.
When he heard the news, Chen Jin was looking through a preliminary autopsy report, and his heart suddenly sank.
"Oops..." he secretly yelled.
Setting up a special team means being on call 24 hours a day.
If he is drawn, how can he disappear in public at midnight and go to the location designated by Yanfu?
At that time, a member of the task force mysteriously disappeared under strict surveillance, which simply told everyone that there was something wrong with him.
Not only will the mission fail and a huge amount of points and awakening points will be deducted, but what is even more frightening is that he will most likely change from a police officer to a prime suspect and be wanted nationwide by his former colleagues.
He had to find a way to avoid being transferred. His mind was racing, thinking of reasonable excuses.
At this moment, Chen Jin was mostly thinking about how to deal with being transferred to a special class.
From his crouching position, the sunlight clearly projected his figure on the ground in front of him.
suddenly--
A creepy feeling came from his own shadow without any warning.
He clearly "saw" from the corner of his eye that the black shadow belonging to him on the ground had its "chest" suddenly dented and twisted inward, as if it had been pierced by an invisible sharp cone!
"Ugh!"
Chen Jin groaned, feeling as if his heart was tightly grasped by a cold hand, and severe colic and suffocation were felt instantly!
This attack is not physical damage, but curse damage.
You found the predator (prey)!
Glance of the Startled Swan obtained the following information.
Name: Liu Ying
Rating: Ten Capitals
Inheritance:
Status: Dark Vortex (increased shooting speed and concealment ability)
Specialization: Ancient Martial Arts 40%
Thermal weapons 42%.
"Insinuations..." Chen Jin felt awe-struck in his heart. His powerful recovery ability allowed him to resist this wave of shadow curses aimed at his heart.
Almost instinctively, he rolled violently to the side and back!
The movement was so fast that it even kicked up the dust on the ground.
His crouching shadow twisted and elongated with the rapid movement of his body. A black mass instantly escaped the range of Chen Jin's shadow and rushed behind a pile of rusty iron barrels in front of him.
The cramping and suffocating feeling in my heart subsided like a tide.
"Chen Jin?! What's wrong with you?" The colleagues next to him and Zhang Jianguo not far away were all startled by his sudden violent movements and looked at him in shock.
Chen Jin was half-kneeling on the ground, his face a little pale, his breathing a little hurried, but his eyes as sharp as a falcon, locked on the pile of rusty iron barrels, and yelled, "Over there! There is someone behind the iron barrels!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them.
The internal structure of the abandoned factory is complex, and the light and shadow are even more chaotic. It is the best hunting ground and escape route for Walker like "mysterious monsters".
The Zhang Jianguo and Xiao Wang around them are all ordinary people. The best situation is that they are armed with guns. But facing a Ten Capitals level Walker who is good at hiding and cursing, they are no different from lambs to be slaughtered.
And with the Yanfu Walker people's wanton temper, killing the Fruit natives is like killing NPCs in the game without any psychological burden.
Fortunately, there is still time to make up for it.
As long as he gets rid of this [mysterious] immediately now, it will be fine.
"Cover me! Let me go take a look!" Chen Jin shouted to his colleagues behind him without looking back. At the same time, he jumped out like a cheetah, aiming directly at the pile of iron barrels.
[Endless Depletion] Activate!
Countless extremely tiny "spores" that were invisible to the naked eye were like invisible smoke, quietly spreading out with him as the center.
The spores themselves spread slowly, but Chen Jin raised his hand in an extremely stealthy manner while concealing his charge.
[Ji Water Leopard]! Fuck the wind!
A weak air current emerged out of thin air, enveloping those deadly spores, and quickly and silently swept across the large shadow area behind the iron barrel.
"Found you!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the body of the "worm" behind the iron barrel, which was almost integrated with the shadow, stiffened suddenly!
"Uh... ah!"
He wanted to scream, but his throat was blocked by the crazy growth, and he could only squeeze out a broken and frightened whooshing sound.
I saw densely packed and huge golden mushrooms sprouting from his exposed skin and body covered by clothes in an instant.
These mushrooms have thick caps and are dazzlingly golden in color. They rush to drill and swell out of his eye sockets, nostrils, ears, and even the pores of his skin.
His throat was filled with hyphae, suffocating his last wail. His body was like an over-fertilized land, completely covered and swallowed up by the violently growing golden bacteria in a matter of seconds.
He even maintained a posture ready to escape, but the breath of life quickly passed away like a popped balloon.
That weird "innuendo" ability can't be used at all.
"Plop--"
A shriveled body wrapped in countless golden mushrooms, drained of all moisture and vitality, fell heavily to the ground, making a dull sound.
The whole process was unimaginably fast. From Chen Jin charging to the target falling to the ground, it only took two or three breaths.
The colleagues at the back didn't even have time to completely disperse to form a tactical formation. They only saw Chen Jin rushing over, and then something seemed to fall down.
