monster he just wants to be a good guy

Can monsters be human again?

"Adjutant Chen, the current earthquake situation has been counted, and the extent of the cracks on the surface is recorded on the map." Zhuang Mansheng straddled her hands behind her back, her clothes were straight, her waist was straight, her hair was coiled in a hat, and she looked extraordinarily heroic.

Adjutant Chen rubbed the corners of his brows while flipping through the map.Excessive lack of sleep is causing him to have a splitting headache now.Chen Mu broke a piece of sugar and stuffed it into his mouth. When he bit it into pieces, the sweetness overflowed in his mouth, and finally he frowned slightly.

"So... the current crack caused by the earthquake spans almost the entire siege?"

"According to our survey and the feedback from District 4 and District 5 in the north, this is indeed the case."

Chen Mu observed the abrupt black line on the album, extending straight from the north end to the south end, winding like a black snake.

No, compared to the black snake, it is more similar to a star line connecting the dots... It is the entrance of the cave!

Chen Mu raised his eyes and asked, "Is there any connection between this earthquake and the monster cave?"

"I asked the team members who passed through the cave a few days ago, and they did say that they seemed to see fine cracks near the entrance of the cave from a distance. I heard that the same situation is also in area 5."

"The cracks first emerged from the monster's hole, and then spread little by little."

"At present, the researchers at our station speculate that it may be due to the continuous emergence of holes in recent years, which caused the instability of the ground to trigger earthquakes, which in turn caused the surface to crack. The Geological Bureau of the headquarters is still studying, and there is no conclusion yet."

"I see. Is there any news from Mr. Lin?"

Lin Xiao just took people to the north cave to kill monsters two days ago, and he doesn't know what's going on.

In the past few days, the communication system has almost recovered, but there has been no news from there, which makes Chen Mu feel a little uneasy.

"Not yet. I will inform you as soon as possible."

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

After Chen Mu arranged the next deployment, Zhuang Mansheng did not leave, but stayed where he was, with a slightly hesitant look.

"What else?"

"Adjutant Chen..." She frowned slightly, but still spit out the remaining half of the words she had swallowed in her mouth, "The gas test report in the oxygen tank came out."

As if worried that Adjutant Chen would not remember, Zhuang Mansheng added: "It was the protective measures Lu Man took to prevent him from blowing air when he was in prison."

Of course, Adjutant Chen remembered this incident. At that time, he still watched Doctor Zhong put the oxygen mask on Lu Man's face with a snap.

"What's the result?" He motioned Zhuang Mansheng to continue.

"When we opened the oxygen tank, the fog settled and attached to the tank. I scratched a small part and brought it to the laboratory. Their observation and research concluded that—"

Zhuang Mansheng paused for a moment, as if organizing his words, and continued:

"That's not gas, but a new species that has not yet been recorded in the biobank...and those tiny creatures are still alive."

"You mean, what Lu Man sprayed out was not mist, but a group of new microorganisms?"

"Yes." Zhuang Mansheng quietly observed Chen Mu, who was expressionless and unable to see his thoughts, and added, "But the research report shows that this microorganism will not cause damage to the human body at present."

It's not that Chen Mu didn't realize the partiality towards Lu Man hidden in his subordinate's words.

"I see. You go to rest first, you have worked hard these few days."

"Adjutant Chen also needs to pay attention to his health."

She nodded slightly, and exited the door neatly.

Just as Zhuang Mansheng left, He Jing pushed the door open and entered again.

After Chen Mu asked He Jing to finish the report on the reconstruction of the residential area, he began to get into the topic of calling him back this time.

"About the matter you mentioned before to help Lu Man go home, maybe there will be people in the urban area who have been to or passed by Qingmiao Village. I have already asked people to collect relevant information about Qingmiao Village."

"If you can find it, that would be great! I can tell that Lu Man Lu Man, as his name suggests, is an out-and-out road blind."

"He can't even tell the difference between southeast and northwest. If I hadn't taken him with him in Anju, he would have almost strayed off the road several times. If no one led the way, he would definitely not be able to go back with Yi Xiaolu's stupid way!"

Speaking of Lu Man, He Jing unconsciously brought a smile on his face.

"After getting along these few days, what do you think of Lu Man?"

Chen Mu quietly observed the changes in the expressions of his subordinates and asked.

"I found out when I went to the station before that he loves to do housework, cleanliness and manners, and this time he is also in Anju. As you know, Adjutant Chen, he has saved many people and helped us a lot... I think he's a good guy!"

"Besides being a good person, is there anything else?" Chen Mu looked at him seriously, He Jing was silent for a while, his eyes dodged a little.

He took a breath, and still reported truthfully according to his duties.

"He does have some places that are different from ordinary people."

"Xiao Lu has great strength, and he can support a pillar that needs a crane to lift it alone. It was a wall pillar that was about to collapse. I discovered it when he was protecting the little girl under the wall."

"Another time, his arm was cut by a sharp tile, and his cuff was dripping with blood. When I was about to forcefully lift up his sleeve to bandage him, I found that there was no wound. I suspect that his self-healing ability is also super unusual."

"And..." He Jing finally hesitated to speak.

"and also?"

"No more, that's all." He Jing shook his head, holding back what he wanted to say.

He turned to leave, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and saw Lu Man sitting on a chair outside with his eyes downcast, seeming a little drowsy.

Both of Lu Man's hands were obediently placed on his lap, with well-defined knuckles, smooth and white.

He Jing couldn't help thinking back to the day when the aftershocks and the ruins collapsed, and Lu Man jumped into the cave to rescue the fallen team members, he seemed to see——

At that time, it was not human fingers that were clawing at the edge of the hole, but sharp claws digging deep into the rubble.

But it was chaotic and the sky was dark, so maybe he was wrong.

"It's your turn to go in." He stretched out his hand and was about to push Lu Man, but before his hand touched his shoulder, Lu Man woke up with a start.

There was a flash of alertness in his eyes, and after seeing He Jing, the coldness was fleeting.

Lu Man nodded with a smile and stood up.

In the office, Chen Mu tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, lost in thought.

He Jing didn't say everything just now.From his expression, it could be seen that he still had something to hide from himself, but Chen Mu didn't ask.

Because Chen Mu already had an answer in his heart.

Ever since that time when he sent Lu Man out of the station, Chen Mu hadn't had much contact with him.These days, it was Zhuang Mansheng, He Jing and Lu Man who had more contact with each other.

After getting along for several years, Chen Mu has a deep understanding of his two subordinates - Zhuang Mansheng is rigorous, and He Jing is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, neither of them is the type that is easy to be bribed or cursing.

But his two difficult secretaries surprisingly reached an agreement in their attitude towards Lu Man, both with some partiality and protection.He Jing who got closer to Lu Man was the most obvious.

Look at the way they said each other, it seems that they are worried that Chen Mu will become that villain who makes judgments.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled helplessly, when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened a small crack, and the man poked a small head out of the crack.

"Lu Man?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, just as he was about to land on Lu Man, Lu Man came.

Lu Man trotted over and sat on the chair opposite him.

"About going home..." The two said almost at the same time, and then paused at the same time.

"You go first." Chen Mu nodded and asked Lu Man to come first.

"I have some ideas about going home, and I want to ask Adjutant Chen a few questions."

After Chen Mu nodded, Lu Man continued: "How long and wide is the gap caused by the earthquake? Is there still a chance for me to cross it from the land?"

"This is also the question I want to tell you. The crack spans the siege from south to north, and the shortest distance that has been investigated so far is at least 500 meters. Therefore, the road to go by purely walking is broken."

"As for the flying vehicles, the last helicopter in the siege was destroyed by monsters more than ten years ago."

"We have tried hot air balloons, but they all failed for some reason. The balloons we made can float for a short time, but they can't carry people. Maybe it's because of the density of the air."

"In fact, some of our members are now trapped on the other side of the crack and cannot return. My current thinking is to build a bridge or a cable car."

"I'm already asking the engineering department to research and produce the design drawings. At the earliest, I will wait until Chief Lin and the others return, and the project will not start until there are enough manpower."

Lu Man quietly listened to Adjutant Chen explaining these methods one by one, and the doubts in his heart were resolved one by one.

Finally, he asked a question.

"Adjutant Chen, do you know where there are flying monsters?"

This is the ultimate way to get home that Lu Man came up with.

Since you can't walk home, fly back.

As long as he drank the blood of flying monsters, he could acquire the corresponding abilities and become the corresponding appearance.

At that time, he will be able to grow wings and fly home with two flaps.

Lu Man couldn't help but miss the strange eagle he met once, if only he could get some blood from it.

From the atlas shown to him by Adjutant Chen, the mountain range where the Strange Eagle is located is also opposite the earthquake crack.Does he have a telepathic connection with the Strange Eagle... It's a pity.

Chen Mu glanced at Lu Man, his eyes flickering slightly.He crossed his knuckles and placed it on the table.

"I know."

"Actually, there may be one in the station."

"Where is it?" Lu Man blinked.

There are monsters in the station?But why didn't he smell it.

Chen Mu stood up and motioned for Lu Man to follow him.

They are back in prison.

But this time, Lu Man and the others did not stay in the first district prison full of light criminals, but went straight to the second district prison where serious criminals were detained.

As soon as he stepped into the second district prison, the dignified and cruel atmosphere came through.

All the prisoners were held in solitary confinement, lifeless, with the occasional crackling sound of shackles.The air inhaled seems to be heavily pressed in the lungs.

The smell of blood was a bit strong, maybe it was the bleeding from the wrists and ankles, or the bruises on the prisoner's body, or the residual blood left in the mouth after the tooth was knocked out.

Lu Man frowned, he hated the smell of human blood.

But they didn't stay in the second district for long. After Chen Mu whispered to the person in charge of the second district prison, he began to verify the deputy commander's ID card and pressed his fingerprint on some kind of instrument.

After that, Chen Mu took off all the sharp objects on his body, including keychains and knives.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Man also took off the spider monster's thorn from his body and handed it to Chen Mu. Chen Mu took a look at the thorn, put them into the safe deposit box and locked them up.

"Below, this kind of sharp object is not only incapable of self-defense, but may become a weapon for them to harm us."

"To deal with them, use fire."

Seeing the confusion on Lu Man's face, Chen Mu briefly explained to him.

Where is below?Who are they?Lu Man was even more confused.

They put on specific protective clothing, and Lu Man was covered from head to toe, and he felt a little clumsy when walking.

Chen Mu showed Lu Man the "gun" tied to the waist of the protective suit, and told him, "This is a flame-throwing device. If you encounter an accident below, aim at it and press it. There will be a high-temperature flame." Squirt out."

While talking, he demonstrated to Lu Man, and pressed the button towards the bluestone wall, and immediately a long crimson tongue of flame flew out from the spray gun, and in an instant, black smoke swirled and flames splashed everywhere.

Chen Mu led Lu Man into a cell-like room surrounded on three sides with a door on one side.

Suddenly, the room trembled. Lu Man thought there was another earthquake, but seeing Adjutant Chen's calm expression, he also remained calm.

"Don't be afraid, this is Shen Ti."

"Why did it move?" Lu Man asked curiously.

"Because someone is pulling it up."

"Oh."

Lu Man nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and then the two slowly sank into the deep darkness.

As he got closer and closer to the destination, Lu Man already smelled a strange smell... like a human, but also like a monster.

He asked, "Where the hell is down here?"

Lu Man's heart beat a little fast, and he didn't know whether it was anxiety or anticipation.

"Third District Prison." Chen Mu's voice was very low.

"There are monsters that were once human beings held here."

Or people who turned into monsters.

This is a secret prison.

Those who ingested the monster's blood and finally mutated into monsters, some could not bear the mutation brought by the monster's blood, and died in pain.

Some completely lost their minds and killed people indiscriminately, and were sanctioned.

There are also some who have left a very small part of their sanity and turned into monsters who have not yet had time to harm people, so they are locked in this secret prison that has never seen the light of day.

"Over the years, we have been trying to find a way to bring these people back to their senses and get rid of this state of being neither human nor strange."

"The purpose of keeping them here is to give them a chance to be human again."

Once they kill and eat people, they will no longer have the possibility of turning back into humans, and lose their qualifications to become humans, so they must be restrained and wait for the day when they will see the light again.

For them, this prison is both a shackle and a shelter.

"Can monsters be human again?" Lu Man tilted his head, staring at Chen Mu intently, hoping to get an answer from him.

"Of course." Chen Mu's tone softened unconsciously, as if he was thinking of an old friend, "I look forward to that day coming earlier."

With a bang, they finally fell to the deepest point.

The gate swung open.

They stopped talking, Chen Mu stepped forward first, and Lu Man cautiously followed behind him.

The lights in the prison in the third district were extremely dim, and it was unknown whether the wires were in bad contact or it was made like this on purpose.

Lu Man speculated that it might be the latter. Dim lights might make the monster more stable and feel more secure.

Since it was built underground, the air is filled with a wet smell of mud and water vapor.

The corridor is wide, and there are no cells on both sides. It is full of thick walls. There are many small holes on the top of the walls. The wind flows through the holes, and the walls are hollow behind.

This prison seems to have no doors, the walls are the doors.

The wall is made of thick giant rocks, on which a lot of water droplets have condensed, and many of them have already converged into a small river and slid down, leaving only tears.

The ground was covered with moss and moss, dark green and mottled, Lu Man had to keep an eye on his feet so as not to accidentally slip and fall.

The water droplets and green plants on the ground are obviously symbols of life, but they seem to stagnate with time underground, solidifying into creepy and weird forms.

If the prison in the second district is silent, then the prison in the third district is dead silent.

Living in the deep underground far away from the bustling world, Lu Man even felt abandoned by the whole world.

When it was extremely quiet, he could hear the buzzing sound coming from his ears.

Chen Mu's voice drew his attention back.

"Coming."

When they passed by a strange cell, Lu Man noticed that Chen Mu slowed down.On that wall, densely packed roots pierced through the blue rock and penetrated to the outside.

"What's wrong?" Lu Man asked softly.

Chen Mu didn't say a word, and continued to walk forward until he reached the opposite wall.

He groped on the wall for a while, pressed something, and a rock surface sank, revealing the gleaming iron color inside.

There are iron railings behind the wall, double insurance, really cautious enough.

The blackness inside the hole seems to have materialized, and the light from outside cannot penetrate at all.

"He might be sleeping..."

The protective clothing he was wearing hindered Lu Man's sense of smell to a certain extent. He couldn't smell it, but he felt something was wrong.

Chen Mu raised the lamp in his hand and shone in towards the dark hole.

Suddenly, the indissoluble darkness trembled like a wave of water, and suddenly, the darkness split open, reflecting a bright yellow light.

Chen Mu was stunned for a while, Lu Man pulled him, and the two quickly backed away.

In the next second, sharp claws stretched out from the hole, collided vigorously against the iron railing and made a bang sound, almost scratching a corner of Chen Mu's protective suit.

Chen Mu and Lu Man pressed the flame spray guns almost at the same time, and the orange-red fire snake rushed out instantly, forcing its hook-like claws back.

Lu Man heard the sound of flapping wings.

It was his eyes just now!

The monster has been squatting at the entrance of the cave, waiting for their arrival.
