Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 197 Pollution

The so-called immortality, bloodline, and bloodline inheritance are not to be desecrated... All foreign genes are not allowed to enter, and all humans outside the village are not allowed to come into contact with them... Are these so-called orthodox practices correct?

When vile lust for power takes over human thought, when species driven solely by the instinct to reproduce wriggle between the soil, when they are revered as "gods" by humans, even earthworms can develop intelligence amidst their thick, base desires. But can this intelligence truly allow them to replace humans in survival?

Within Changsheng Village, are the humans who still survive truly earthworms with human bodies, or are they simply humans whose minds have been completely filled with earthworms?

[The countdown to leaving the game is now starting: 10, 9, 8...]

As the countdown began, the middle-aged man with his back to Yu Shijiu slowly turned around. The refined and amiable Uncle Gong smiled and waved to him, and a somewhat blurry figure gradually appeared beside him.

It's Gong Nian.

Gong Nian also waved awkwardly at Yu Shijiu, her beautiful pale face showing no sign of pain or distress.

Yu Shijiu stood still.

He let the fog surround him, watching as Uncle Gong took out oranges from his backpack and handed them to Gong Nian beside him, and watching as Gong Nian happily took the oranges and rushed into her father's arms.

Yu Shijiu remained motionless.

He gripped the orange in his hand tightly, and as the fog thickened, his figure began to blur like snowflakes, finally disappearing completely.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!!!!"

Wang Rui screamed as she saw all the players get off the bus, letting out a heart-wrenching roar at the players outside the monitoring room:

"Sister Feng has cleared the level! Is everyone ready?!"

"Alright, alright, stop shouting."

The players in the surveillance team outside the door were so engrossed in the shouting that their ears were ringing. They opened the door, peeked out, and rolled their eyes at Wang Rui.

"Just be your human surveillance camera, Brother Lu has already arranged everything else for us."

Wang Rui: "..."

She nearly fainted from gasping for breath, and upon hearing this, she said in utter despair:

"Can't there be even one person! Just one person to take over my job?!"

“Yes,” the monitoring team player outside the door said with a grin.

"But everyone else goes into the game dungeons to fight monsters, you're just too scared to go in."

"..." Wang Rui instantly fell silent, then said something completely irrelevant:

"I think you're right. As the only human surveillance camera in the inspection team, and one that has no substitute, my responsibility is extremely heavy. So please close the door now, and then stick your head out through the crack in the door. Thank you!"

After saying everything in one breath, Wang Rui suddenly turned her head, and the chair beneath her slid smoothly 360 degrees, sliding all the way to a stop in front of all the large screens.

The surveillance team player outside the door: "..."

As he was about to close the door, his lips twitched, when he heard Wang Rui's voice coming from the crack in the door.

"Also, bring me a bottle of yogurt."

The player from the surveillance team, who had a baby face, sneered:

"Would you like me to bring some snacks in on my way?"

Wang Rui was overjoyed: "Of course, it would be impolite to refuse!"

Before the last "la" could be uttered, the baby-faced player let out another cold laugh.

"I almost forgot, Brother Lu said you're not allowed to eat today."

Wang Rui: "..."

She mechanically turned her head as if to explain something, but heard the door slam shut with a "bang".

Wang Rui was startled by the sound of the door closing.

"...If you don't want to eat, then don't...Why are you scaring me like this..."

After complaining bitterly, Wang Rui continued to stare at the countless small screens with dead fish eyes, occasionally clicking on some live streams to zoom in.

Damn it! Going to work is really mentally exhausting!!!

"The time limit for the talent skill can be exceeded by nearly two hours."

The doctor player, wearing a mask, frowned deeply. He stared at Lin Feng, who was curled up like a shrimp on the bed, and said quickly:

"There's no time to send him to the isolation room. Get all the defensive players who haven't entered the game instance over here quickly and isolate Lin Feng's bedroom!"

The doctor spoke very quickly, and Lu Chusheng, who had rushed over, immediately frowned, nodded to the player next to him, and walked to the doctor's side.

"Are we taking turns using our innate skills to isolate each other?"

Lu Chusheng asked.

The doctor gasped when he saw Lu Chusheng come in without a mask, quickly took out a mask and handed it to him, sighing:

"This is the only way. Lin Feng's talent skill is contagious and indiscriminate after leaving the game instance. If we don't quickly isolate him, many players will be affected."

"how long?"

Lu Chusheng put on the mask, even though he didn't think it offered any protection.

He walked over to Lin Feng and observed the other's hunched back and constantly empty, unfocused pupils, his voice calm:

"There are fewer than five defensive players left in the inspection team, including two players whose defense is not strong enough to be counted as one person when they cooperate."

"enough."

The doctor rubbed his aching temples and said, "If it's been more than two hours, just two and a half hours of isolation will be enough for it to completely dissipate."

Lu Chusheng quickly calculated the time, and his heart, which had been pounding, slowly relaxed:

"That shouldn't be too different. If it really doesn't work, I can also—"

"no!"

The doctor abruptly interrupted Lu Chusheng, his eyes behind his glasses very serious. He said earnestly:

"The guild war is coming up soon, Brother Lu, you'd better focus all your attention on that. Lin Feng's situation isn't a big deal, so there's no need for you to use your talent skills."

"..."

Lu Chusheng was silent for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and nodded:

"it is good."

He glanced once more at Lin Feng, who was still not fully conscious on the bed, then turned and strode out of the room.

inside the room.

The doctor looked down at Lin Feng on the bed, then slowly walked to the basin and wet a towel before wringing it out.

Lin Feng's brain was throbbing as if it were about to explode.

The day before she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, she had finally managed to pay off her loan.

No money.

I have no body anymore.

Lin Feng practically fled the hospital amidst the doctor's regretful gaze.

It really hurt back then.

Lin Feng thought.

She was practically an orphan. Her mother died from postpartum hemorrhage, and her father became an alcoholic after her mother's death. In her second year of college, he got drunk in the middle of the night, fell into the river, and drowned.

After receiving the call, Lin Feng calmly went to the countryside to bury her father's body and borrowed some money to order a coffin for him.

In that memory, Lin Feng only remembers kneeling in front of her father's body, kowtowing repeatedly to the relatives and friends who came and went.

Then, she had to repay the money she borrowed, as well as the student loans from school.

Twenty-year-old Lin Feng cried for the first time.
