Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

Exhausted.

Huo Ling told his teammates to find a clean place and rest on the spot.

The area near the hospital building had the fewest zombies, and also the least blood and mosaic, so they simply sat down at the entrance of the outpatient department building.

Wu Zhe was exhausted and leaned against a pillar, panting. Beside him was a bulging "bag" made of dirt, full of heteronuclei. "They're all here!"

But he was quite happy.

"There are quite a few green heteronuclei this time. I counted, there are more than a dozen one-star ones and two two-star ones."

Rona rummaged through the thin sack of earth. "Holy crap, so many? There must be at least a hundred of these, right? There are quite a few from other departments too."

In the post-apocalyptic world, superpowers are divided into five categories: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Other rare abilities are not worth mentioning, but wood-type abilities are truly rare.

Wu Zhe grinned from ear to ear, his white teeth clearly visible if he weren't wearing a mask. "You bet this trip was worthwhile. There was an upgrade behind those pink fogs, which has increased the number of two-star alien cores."

Gao Lei couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "Even mutated creatures would be furious if they heard this."

They deliberately accelerated the zombies' upgrade, but not only were all the zombies wiped out, the despicable humans even thanked them and offered to upgrade their alien cores for free.

Anyone would be furious in this situation.

Luo Na and Wu Zhe burst into laughter after hearing this, "Hehehe." "Brother Lei, you're so funny."

Lin Shuangshuang was sneaking up on Huo Ling, inching closer to him. She hadn't had a proper chance to get close to him all day.

Huo Ling noticed her subtle movements but remained silent, wanting to see what she was up to.

The pink little monster stayed close to him and didn't move, as if it simply wanted to be close to him, even if it was just a little closeness through the tarpaulin.

"Now you're starting to cling to me? Why were you dodging me when I kissed you yesterday?"

Huo Ling was either completely silent or, when he did speak, he successfully startled Lin Shuangshuang. Her eyes widened as she recalled the shameless kissing records in her memo. She remained silent for a long time before finally moving away a little, somewhat fearfully.

Lin Shuangshuang herself was lost in her own thoughts, and after a while she said, "Huo Ling."

Huo Ling lowered his head and contacted Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng, casually replying, "Mm."

Lin Shuangshuang blurted out, "You're shameless."

Huo Ling: ? ? ? ?

He glanced calmly at Lin Shuangshuang, then looked down to reply to the message, "Do you need me to review what you did last time? When I was in seclusion."

Lin Shuangshuang's face was blank; her mind was completely empty, she had indeed forgotten.

She instinctively reached for her memo.

Huo Ling chuckled, ignoring her completely, and said to her, "Go back and thoroughly review your memos; they're full of evidence of your wrongdoings."

Lin Shuangshuang panicked, her face turning bright red. "You shameless bastard! You peeked into my notes!"

She covered her wristband.

Huo Ling said, "I didn't."

Lin Shuangshuang didn't believe him; her eyes were full of suspicion. "I don't believe you."

Huo Ling tossed a chocolate into her arms and a few more towards Luo Na and the others, saying, "Have some energy, there's going to be a tough battle later."

He stopped replying to messages.

But he didn't feel any more relaxed. He then got up and stared into the clinic.

The interior is gloomy.

There was no one inside.

Luo Na and the others were overjoyed to find that Huo Ling still had food. "Wow, thank you, Captain!" "Thank you, Brother Huo!" "Captain Huo is so kind."

Qi Mo and Qi Zhi, the siblings, were secretly drinking nutrient solution when they turned around and found the five of them eating chocolate. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

These five people were not easily fooled, and the siblings had a clear understanding of this, so they simply stopped pretending and stopped trying to curry favor with them.

Given the current dangerous situation, the siblings must join forces with them.

Qi Mo asked, "What do you mean by fierce battle?" He stopped pretending to be cute, and his voice was surprisingly similar to his sister's, both being the cool and aloof type.

Qi Zhi bluntly stated, "We're temporary teammates, after all. At least we're both pretty capable, right? We helped you guys a lot just now."

Huo Ling finally gave the siblings a proper look. "That's good. I like dealing with smart people. Since you're being honest, I can cooperate with you. The current situation is most likely related to something inside the hospital."

Don't defeat it.

I'm afraid that none of those present will be able to get out, and they might even be slowly worn down to death by it.

Huo Ling was just contacting Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng, asking them to help check if there was any information related to this area online.

Although it's the apocalypse, thanks to advanced technology, the internet isn't completely paralyzed. While it's not as convenient as before, it's still usable.

They actually found something. It said that several groups of superhumans were attacked near the hospital, but no one saw what it was. The thing was very fast and had very sharp claws. The victims were basically scratched to death by the sharp blades.

Huo Ling looked at the wounds, which were indeed terrifying. What kind of mutated animal would have such long claws? This reminded him of the mother and daughter who ran the stall. The claws he bought back then were very similar to these.

He suddenly asked, "What animal's claw did we buy?"

Lorna and her two companions had just finished eating chocolate and were putting their masks back on. They were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then tried hard to remember, "It's a pangolin!"

Wu Zhe provided the answer, saying, "It's this one, it's this one. Those pieces of meat were huge back then, and I think the outer skin is the pangolin's shell."

He had seen this creature when he was a child, but it is now almost extinct.

Huo Ling understood.

Lin Shuangshuang licked her lips; the chocolate was sweet. She pressed on, "Was that monster in the hospital a mutated pangolin?"

Huo Ling said, "It's highly likely."

Wu Zhe immediately became worried, "If it's really this, it doesn't seem like it'll be easy to fight!"

Lorna changed her gloves, patted him on the head, and said, "You have to fight, even if it's tough! Otherwise, are we just going to sit here and wait to die? How are we supposed to survive?"

She still needs to go back and catch up on her novels. There are tons of stories waiting for her to enjoy, and tons of couples waiting for her to ship. This little castle is so comfortable; she has to get back alive.

Wu Zhe yelled, "I didn't say I wouldn't fight, I just think it's going to be tough."

Lorna said, "It can burrow underground, and so can you! What are you afraid of? Besides, if we can get our hands on this heteronucleus, I think we'd be a perfect match."

Gao Lei said it wasn't necessarily true. "Conventionally speaking, it does seem more like an earth element, but you forgot, it's the one that created the thick fog outside. Maybe it's an extension of the water element, related to fog, or perhaps even a spirit element?"

They talked and talked.

Lin Shuangshuang wasn't too worried, mainly because worrying wouldn't help, so she remained calm and focused on being ready to step in whenever needed.

Qi Zhi and Qi Mo, the siblings, were completely baffled. How could these five people have such a good mentality? They could still chat about such trivial things at a time like this.

They were both in a panic.

The team from Modia next door was completely exhausted, the four of them panting heavily, still not recovered, just staring blankly.
