I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

Lu Yao remembered that in Mission 4, there was a mention of people behind the trees. It didn't make sense at first, but she was good at math...

It can be inferred that, based on the passage of time, the events in Mission 4 took place about five years ago, and one of the things she learned from the taxi driver about the Guangming Power Plant was very consistent.

That was the leader of that gang. He had fled since the crackdown on gangs and disappeared near the Guangming Power Plant.

Therefore, the fat and big-eared man rushing towards her was most likely the gangster.

At this time, the gangster boss rushed towards her without hesitation with a meteor hammer in his hand, and seemed to shout a word, "Meat"?

Meat?

Although he couldn't figure out the meaning of the word, it didn't stop Lu Yao from running away.

When someone who looks extremely evil and is holding a weapon that can kill you instantly appears, there is no need to think, just run.

So, Lu Yao just started running and ran past Lu Ming who reminded her.

And just one minute after she left, the gangster boss had rushed to where she had just been. He swung his meteor hammer down quickly and instantly smashed a hole in the stone platform where Lu Yao had just sat.

Then, he shouted again: "Meat!"

“!!!” So ​​fierce!

Lu Yao looked back and quickened his pace, not even bothering to take out the machete from his backpack. After all, the two of them were not at an advantage in terms of body shape. Lu Yao was 1.68 meters tall, two centimeters shorter than the model for the job, while the gangster was only 1.8 meters tall, not to mention that his width was twice as tall as Lu Yao's.

Secondly, according to the taxi driver, the gangster is a murderer. Compared with Lu Yao, who can only kill cockroaches, he is much more brutal and does not need to be beaten at all.

And she didn’t know if it was Lu Yao’s illusion, but she always felt that the gangster in front of her was not a human being...to be precise, not a normal person.

Because Lu Yao gained a new ability today, sense of smell. She could smell the stench of corruption on the gangster's body from a long distance away, as if he had been dead for a long time.

But he doesn't seem to be a ghost...

While running, Lu Yao glanced at Lu Ming who was floating beside her. She was sure that Lu Ming was different from the gangster boss.

After meeting Lu Ming, Lu Yao would occasionally glance at the situation in the live broadcast room. The camera in the room was very clear, recording her conversation with Lu Ming.

During the conversation, Lu Ming in the video was not what she saw, but a ball of faint mist, just like the ghosts in the supernatural photos that one occasionally sees on the Internet, with a rough outline in the white mist, so the brothers in the live broadcast room could also be sure that Lu Ming was a ghost.

But at this moment in the live broadcast room, the appearance of the black boss was very clear, and it was not difficult to see that Lu Yao's darlings were having a heated discussion.

Passerby A: [Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? There are still people working in a power plant that has been abandoned for many years? ]

Baldy changed his nickname today: [This guy looks like a murderer. ]

Pulling out a weeping willow: [Be more confident and remove the word "like".]

Shy and Straight Man: [Captain Ape, you must have won the lottery. You run like crazy every day and meet a pervert hiding near an abandoned building? ]

Border Town Police: [Classmate, it seems to me that the person chasing you now is a murderer wanted by the neighboring city police. ]

Sure enough! There's no escape! It's him!

Lu Yao had thought about it during the one hour she was climbing the mountain. She might... no! She would definitely meet the gangster hiding in the mountain. After all, with that system, how could it be possible for her to live comfortably for six hours? Since Lu Ming was not fierce, there must be a fierce creature there. If it wasn't a ghost, then it must be a human.

So, she also thought about the possibility of encountering a murderer, and also thought about countermeasures...

"Lu Ming, have you ever seen this guy in all these years in the factory?"

"I have seen him. He came to Guangming Power Plant five years ago, but he seemed unable to see me at first." Lu Ming floated beside him with ease, looking like he was watching the fun. "You are the only one who can see me as clearly as you do."

Lu Yao didn't even notice Lu Ming's leisure and quickly ran into the workshop of the power plant. He was sure that the driver's information source was accurate. The gangster had indeed come five years ago, but for some reason, or maybe he had found a hiding place, the police had not caught him.

"This is not good. He has been here for so long, so he must know the terrain of the power plant very well. It's really not advantageous for me to play hide-and-seek with him here."

Lu Yao muttered to himself and suddenly paused: "Wait, you said he couldn't see you at first, does that mean he can see you recently?"

"Sometimes I see it and I also find it strange." Lu Ming shrugged. He was not at all anxious about the current situation.

Although he had indeed reached a consensus with Lu Yao just now, and Lu Yao might be able to help him get out, Lu Yao was just a stranger to him. He had no feelings for Lu Yao because he could only listen to his chat occasionally. As a man who had been lonely for more than ten or twenty years and was neither human nor ghost, he had no obligation and no mood to care about Lu Yao's life or death.

At worst, Lu Yao would be gone, and he would go back to that guy’s internet and continue to look for someone else to help him.

Therefore, he followed Lu Yao at this moment, purely to watch the fun and see if this girl had any special qualities. He answered whatever Lu Yao asked, and he had done his best to remind her when the gangster boss appeared.

Of course, Lu Yao didn't expect Lu Ming to save her, so she was just trying to gain information, and now she seemed to have obtained an important piece of information.

Lu Yao continued to ask: "You often see him, and he has been hiding here alone for many years. Have you seen what he eats to survive?"

It’s okay for a ghost to go without food or water for five years, but a person will die if he goes without food or water for five days.

The gangster hid in a wasteland for five years to avoid the police. How did he survive without food?

"Now that you mention it..." Lu Ming paused, and immediately realized that Lu Yao had discovered something he had overlooked. He suddenly said, "...You mean he has been living on eating corpses all these years?"

"Yes." So, this made sense, why Lu Yao could smell the stench on him, and why he looked like a dead person when he was clearly a living thing.

Lu Yao continued, "I saw a boring piece of trivia before. People who eat other people will turn into zombies. In fact, this zombie disease is also called prion, so his body should be full of this virus."

So?

Lu Ming was a little confused.

Even if she knew that the gangster had prions in his body, what could she do?

However, what shocked Lu Ming was that the beautiful girl in front of him was not only a science student, but also a science student who was proficient in physics, chemistry, and biology.

At this time, Lu Yao had already run to the waste outlet of the coal generator, opened the iron hole for discharging waste, and said, "The best reagent to fight prions is a strong protein denaturant, which is phenol. Phenol was originally discovered by chemist Runge in coal tar. There is coal tar everywhere here."

WTF!

Is this a supernatural channel or a science channel?
