Chapter 53 New Soldiers
When the three of them returned to the upper floor again, what they saw was a messy scene:

The walls, ceilings, and floors were indented with slime corrosion, like a battlefield full of bomb craters.

Most of the large hairless man's body was torn off and bitten off. The remaining half of the head lay quietly on the side. Tooth pocket.

The ground was covered with acidic slime that burst from its body, and the hairless one's head was motionless, apparently completely dead.

On the other side, the black dog with two heads was licking the wound on its body. When it saw them appearing, it immediately got up, and made a defensive "whoosh" sound from its throat.

The left front leg is limping, the wound was scratched by Yan Jingxing; the right hind leg is missing half, most likely bitten off by the hairless man.

The originally dark and shiny fur has been eroded away, exposing bare muscles, like a stray dog ​​with skin disease; both heads are blind in one eye, and the scene is very miserable.

"As a result of the battle between them, I made a choice for me. Jing Xing, can you do me a favor?"

Xie Yuzhi's voice was weak, but the excitement in her tone did not diminish at all.

"You said."

"I was only a little bit close to controlling the split-headed dog." She said, "But its resistance is still very tenacious, and my current consciousness is not strong enough to break the shell. Therefore, I need the help of external forces."

"what should I do?"

"According to my perception, the battle with the hairless has actually brought it to the limit, but it's hard to say if it recovers later."

Xie Yuzhi stared at the signs of the split-headed dog. There were a lot of pitted and corroded marks on its body, but it only took a while, and the white smoke released by the acidic mucus had disappeared; The speed of the meter is bridged, and the recovery ability can be called terrifying.

"...Hey, isn't the recovery speed of its wounds too fast?"

Yan Jingxing also noticed this.

"Well. On the one hand, the self-healing ability of the head splitter host itself is very strong, and on the other hand, it is because it has just received a large amount of nutrients."

The hairless one survives by devouring the host's brain, while the split-headed one relies on hunting the former to obtain more abundant energy at one time, even enough to allow its host to evolve to the next stage.

Xie Yuzhi closed one eye, and saw the red light group symbolizing the split-headed dog's consciousness flickering and undulating.

"Sure enough... I can feel that the strength of consciousness is closely related to the physical senses. Therefore, if you want to make it succumb faster, you need to make the head splitter feel more pain and make it weaker."

"no problem."

Yan Jingxing curled his lips, picked up the knife, and walked slowly towards the split-headed dog huddled in the corner.

In short, this is not "beating the dog in the water".Who wouldn't be good at it.

Facing the approaching human boy, the severely injured split-headed dog subconsciously curled up, retracting both heads.

"I'll kick him downstairs later. Don't peek, you two, the scene may be bloody, so be careful to be frightened."

"Okay~ Got it."

……

After a few minutes.

Yan Jingxing returned to the second floor.

"I've done it," he said. "I see it's just lying there. How about you?"

"...It's done."

Xie Yuzhi let out a small breath, and put down her tired hands.

Her body shook and she almost fell backwards, but fortunately, Ji Chunzao was by her side to support her all the time.

"...Jing Xing, did you just... go to torture a dog?"

The little girl glanced back and forth at Yan Jingxing's trousers and sleeves with a strange expression, they were all stained with blood.

"Don't tell me I'm a pervert."

Yan Jingxing replied angrily.

"I just cut a few wounds on it and bled it to prevent it from recovering. It would be irresponsible to let it run around."

Having said that, he still had to activate his instinct before he could do anything, Yan Jingxing felt that his will was still not firm enough.

"I just heard Yuzhi say 'it's done', does that mean it's all right?"

Ji Chunzao looked at Xie Yuzhi again, his bright eyes were always shining with curiosity.

"Well, my 'mind control' succeeded."

Miss Xie waved casually in the direction downstairs.

"Come, come here."

Not long after, the two-headed black dog limply ran up the stairs covered in bruises.

"Show me a roll on the floor."

It obeyed immediately, like a dog specially trained to perform.It's just because of the blood all over his body, it looks a little pitiful.

"Get up and bow."

The black dog immediately stood up.

With its huge size, it is quite scary to make such a sudden movement. It doesn't look like a dog, but more like a bear preparing to pounce on it.

It's just that because of a broken leg, this posture is not stable for it at all, and it quickly fell to the ground.

"This leg...can it recover?"

"With its self-healing ability, it should still be possible. But it will definitely take time to recover from the mutilated limbs. Do you want to watch other performances?"

"Forget it, it's pitiful to be injured so badly." Ji Chunzao said, "I'll still be bullied by you..."

"Who bullied?"

Xie Yuzhi glared at her.

She walked up to the split-headed dog and examined its wounds.

"You look like this, I can't find someone else to help you look at the injury, I'm afraid to scare others. But..."

Xie Yuzhi clapped her hands.

"Give you a 'snack' to eat, and treat it as a benefit for my subordinates."

Saying that, a hairless man slowly crawled out from the corner.

When the split-headed dog saw it, a pair of animal pupils lit up suddenly, and it rushed towards it.

Xie Yuzhi interrupted her control over her first "soldier".The hairless man had just woken up, when he saw his natural enemy staring at him with his mouth open, and there were no other companions around him, so he curled up and jumped out several meters in fright.

But this was obviously meaningless, the two-headed black dog rushed up, grabbed the leech monster's neck in one bite, bit it in two while it was still struggling, and directly swallowed the dead hairless man into its stomach.

Even after having just eaten a big meal, the head splitter is still full of greed for its prey.

"That's your first 'soldier', isn't it a bit pitiful?"

Yan Jingxing looked a little funny.

"The hairless person that exists as a single body is of little significance to us. In addition, we still need to control the split-headed person now. It's better to save part of the consumption of consciousness just in case."

Xie Yuzhi rubbed her temples, she felt her head was still aching.

This is probably the sequelae of overloading the king's ability.In addition, every second of maintaining conscious control is a waste for her.

"In addition, there is also the problem of spring algae."

"Is it my fault?"

The little girl stared at Yan Jing in surprise.

"That's right, it's because you said something like 'Don't you feel uncomfortable mentally manipulating a leech'..." Miss Xie complained, "I didn't care at first, but now I can't help it I don’t care anymore, I can’t get over this hurdle psychologically.”

I see.Yan Jingxing nodded clearly, since it was a matter of being ugly, there was nothing to be done about it.

Although the appearance of a black dog with two heads is also not very good-it should be described as "serious", but compared with the wet invertebrate mollusk, it is still easier to accept on the psychological level.

"Okay, let's go."

Xie Yuzhi covered her mouth and yawned slightly.

The tension was finally relieved.After a long time of tension and excitement, she felt that she could sleep soundly as long as the back of her head touched the pillow.

"I'm already satisfied. I just wanted to test my ability tonight, but I didn't expect to get a useful 'soldier' ​​chess piece..."

She looked at her companions.

"What about you? Are you going back now?"

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao looked at each other, and answered almost at the same time:

"Go back, I finally used my ability to let go of the fight, it was a good attempt for me."

"It was a good adventure and meeting a new alien creature, I'm very satisfied."

"That's good."

Until this time, Xie Yuzhi remembered one thing.

"Ah, by the way, my driver is still waiting for me outside... I have to go back quickly."

*
On the way downstairs, they happened to meet the combination of Dr. Sun and the security guard.

When Dr. Sun saw them, he showed a look of surprise.

"You... who are you? Where did you come from? It's dangerous here, hurry up—"

Yan Jingxing walked past him while talking.

"If you're worried about the dog, don't worry. We've chased him away."

"...W-what?"

"It's just that the damage on the other side of the corridor is a bit serious, so be careful; there are also more than a dozen patients. They should still be in a coma and need timely treatment."

Dr. Sun turned his head and stared blankly at the backs of the young people going away, the leading boy waved to him without looking back.

"You don't need to thank us, it's just a matter of little effort."

They walked so gracefully, Dr. Sun didn't even have time to react, they were all gone.

Until the security guard tugged at his sleeve and whispered:

"It's probably true what they say."

"Really?...The dog barking stopped suddenly just now, so I came to check the situation...Wait, how do you know it's real?"

"Because when the patients in the North District suddenly went crazy and besieged me, it was the young man in the lead who saved me..."

The security guard recounted everything that happened before.

As Dr. Sun listened, his expression changed.

Although it sounds unbelievable, after all, he has really seen strange things, and he didn't doubt it, just said with a wry smile:
"Then you are very lucky. You just ran into someone who is capable of solving this problem. Well, if someone as powerful as you appeared back then, you wouldn't be..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help shaking his head, as if he was thinking of his colleague who was bitten to death by a patient ten years ago.

"That's a group of kids, right?"

"Yes, I look about fourteen or fifteen years old."

"It's amazing... I don't know if they go to school locally, maybe they are in the same school as my relative's children."

*
When they walked out of the hospital, they saw that the driver had already got out of the car, looking around anxiously like ants on a hot pot. He was relieved when he saw the eldest lady came back, and hurried up to meet him.

"Miss, are you done with your business?"

It has been so long since the appointed time, and the fool also knows that it is impossible to just visit the teacher, but the driver dare not ask the specific situation, and can only confirm her wishes first, whether she wants to leave.

"All right."

Xie Yuzhi's tone was relaxed.

"Go back....Oh, by the way, before that, can you open the trunk for me?"

"Do you have something to store?"

The driver was a little puzzled. He saw that these young people were all empty-handed.

"Yeah, just open it."

Although the driver didn't understand what he meant, he did it anyway.

However, at the moment the trunk was opened, a vigorous black figure "whoosh" got in, and the whole car bumped dully, and the tires sank a little into the ground.

Yan Jingxing put the lid down smoothly, but it couldn't close at all.

"Then, what is that?"

The driver stuttered a bit.He couldn't see what it was, because his vision was blocked, and he only felt that something of a frightening size got into the car.

"A wounded stray dog, we took it back after looking at it poorly."

Where can there be such a big dog!The driver thought to himself, smiled wryly and said:

"Then don't put it in the trunk, in case you can't breathe..."

"It's okay, it doesn't mind."

Yan Jingxing clapped his hands and greeted with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!"
