Chapter 242 Cappuccino.

Du Jue was somewhat dazed upon seeing Angela's news, ignoring the people who gathered around him, wondering if he was still dreaming.

"Hey, can you still walk?"

Carly, who had rushed over, slowed down as soon as she entered the tent. She stood at the entrance with her hands on her hips, watching Du Jue get up, as if afraid of blocking Du Jue's breathing and causing him to faint again.

Upon hearing this, Du Jue looked up at Carly and slowly resumed his thoughts, but the long gaze made Carly frown and reach out to touch the scar on her face.

She raised her mimicry sword to block her view and asked curiously, "What are you looking at? Did you get brain damage?"

He threw off the covers and got out of bed, unable to resist stretching his incredibly sore shoulders and neck, and replied, "I don't know. This question is a bit too profound, and it's something the head of state should be concerned with."

The inexplicable words immediately made Carly put down her mimicry sword with a strange expression and look at Du Jue, who was dressing and talking at the same time.

"However, personally, I think the boundaries of humanity are too blurred in this place. But if you still pursue a better life in the city with a human mindset, you can't be called a monster."

So that's how it is, not a monster after all.

It's truly regrettable that I cannot cooperate with you as a genuine human being, but there's always tomorrow, and I hope we can both achieve the happiness we desire.

Du Jue, regaining his senses, felt a little melancholy. After all, there were many inhuman things in the city, but the moment his eyes focused, he was startled and jumped up.

The olive-green eyes were squeezed so close that Du Jue could even clearly see the iris patterns of the other person's eyes.

"I go!"

Du Jue retreated directly to the bed, only to discover it was Carly.

"Why are you talking nonsense? You don't seem to have been contaminated by the anomaly. Could it be that your brain nerves have been damaged?"

At this point, Carly immediately stepped forward with a hint of excitement, "Come on, let me check!"

"Wait, what's going on? How long have I been asleep?"

Du Jue finally calmed down and quickly got out of bed and stepped out of the tent. He immediately saw the temporary camp set up against the hotel, with two lines of defense outside that had signs prohibiting passage.

Carly, who caught up from behind, took out her cigarette case and slowly explained, "So what if they're sleeping? Who cares how long it lasts? Now they're saying they're going to shut down Lisa's company and suppress the rioters."

"mob?"

Du Jue was utterly puzzled. Where did the mob come from at headquarters? Ordinary residents wouldn't survive an hour here.

"Yes, this is the standard defined by the eyeliner system."

Carly pointed to the swarm of worms that were swarming in from outside, along with a large number of beetles. "At first I thought the informant had gone mad and was carrying out a massacre, but I didn't expect it was these gangsters who had gone mad and dared to attack our camp."

"Oh yes!"

Du Jue almost forgot about cognitive bias, so instead of asking Carly, he quietly inquired about Angela.

"Angela, how's the crackdown going?"

Based on observation, Galion from the R&D Department and Benjamin from the Records Department are both in the Disciplinary Department, while Minister Lisa from the Central Headquarters is by Pipeline No. 3 of the Great Lake, a place you've seen before, where there's a large army of corpses.

The abnormalities remain active, but staff have contained a small number of low-risk abnormalities.

The only good news is that the crisis is gradually subsiding, and headquarters is beginning to recover. I have dispatched personnel to repair the damaged suppressors in various departments, and we will soon be able to control the situation.

"The situation is excellent! We're about to get everything sorted out here!"

I believe you, please stop.

That being said, Du Jue knew that the most troublesome one was Galion, a former tuner, not to mention that she seemed to be with another minister, which was the real problem.

"Hey!"

A loud shout made Du Jue try to lean back to avoid it, but she found her chin being tightly gripped. "Carly, can you stop being so jumpy!"

Carly pouted unhappily, released her chin but then grabbed Du Jue by the collar and pulled him in front of her. "I hate it when I'm talking to someone and my mind wanders. Don't let your eyes wander. Focus on me, understand?"

This commotion attracted the attention of the others, making them realize that Du Jue had already woken up.

"Carly, are you really just here to cause trouble? Let go right now!"

Gabriel, who had just finished inspecting the defenses, returned to find Carly looking so aggressive and immediately began to urge her on without any mercy.

Ilya, who rushed over upon hearing the news, was horrified. "Carly! Dujue is a patient! You can't be so rough with him!"

"Tch, none of your business."

Carly didn't seem to care, but she still smoothed out the wrinkles at her collar. "From now on, you're not allowed to ignore me when you talk, understand?"

After being repeatedly tormented, Du Jue finally regained his senses from his dazed state upon waking up. He quickly smiled and dealt with Carly, making her leave satisfied.

Daniel, who arrived late, politely nodded to Du Jue and waved for him to sit down by the campfire.

Du Jue saw that the minister was no longer as obsessive and conflicted as before, but instead had the demeanor of a noble young master, so at least he wouldn't be startled. He sat down next to him and pondered how to suppress Lisa.

This minister is able to command corpses to fight for him, and even if he has a self-expression, he is still difficult to deal with.

After all, once you enter the self-expression phase, each time you get hurt, your emotions will diminish until you are forced to exit. It would be too disadvantageous and wasteful to use this explosive power to fight a war of attrition with a group of corpses.

"Stop it, try it, my cappuccino."

Daniel gently placed a cup of coffee in front of Du Jue.

The coffee is topped with a delicate golden ring of milk foam and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, giving off the unique, mellow aroma of strong coffee.

Du Jue, whose train of thought had been interrupted, picked it up and looked at Daniel with a puzzled expression, "You still have time to do this?"

It's not that we shouldn't spoil the scenery, but the two lines of defense at the camp were so fiercely fought that the paving stones were red with blood. This is hardly a safe place, and leisurely sipping coffee here would be too out of place.

"Oh, don't misunderstand, espresso powder is issued to all employees. I just used the milk that Song Ya left for you and made a simple blend."

Daniel smiled kindly, “I was taking samples of the lake water before you woke up. After purification, it will be beneficial to the members’ mental well-being.”

The system automatically ignored the members Daniel mentioned, which was probably some new setting, as he was now able to communicate with this group of people flexibly and freely.

He tilted his head back and finished his cappuccino. Then he stood up and went to check on Minister Lisa. Perhaps this time he could send the rabbit squad and staff to distract the corpses on the perimeter, so as to create a way for himself to get closer.

"So, Du Jue, how do you like the taste?"

Daniel asked in a gentle voice, looking expectantly at Du Jue as he stood up.

Uh, he drank too fast, and his tongue was so hot that he couldn't taste it anymore.

Chapter 243 The Corpse.

Please note that R Company's mercenaries do not accept protection or rescue missions. The contract only stipulates that they will use violence to eliminate all enemies in the area, without regard to the employees on site.

Standing on the fifth floor of the parking lot, Du Jue turned his gaze away from the dense array of colorful bubbles. The bubbles, which could awaken the corpses, distorted his vision and even blurred and deformed Angela's surveillance cameras.

He observed carefully for half an hour, but couldn't obtain any information about Minister Lisa.

"Are all the people in this church crazy? They do nothing but stay in one place, grabbing people and brainwashing them."

Standing next to Du Jue, Carly frowned and asked, "Although I don't care, their numbers are probably more than ten times ours. Du Jue, are you really going to force your way in?"

Du Jue glanced at the wall of corpses piled up beneath the floating bubbles, and thought it did indeed look like the style of a cult. "It's alright, as long as we deal with the leader, we don't need to worry about these corpses."

"Wait, speaking of which, how's the clone coming along?"

Only now did Du Jue realize that he had not seen any of his clones. Could it be that they had all drowned in the lake?

When I left the camp, I should have been able to see the lake filled with corpses.

Carly turned her head in confusion. "What clone? Are you talking to yourself again? Now, if you say something, I don't even know whether to answer you or not. Is this what Daniel called passive-aggressive behavior?"

"Sorry, Carly, I've been feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded since I woke up."

It took a few words of comfort and a smile from Du Jue to calm Carly down. She thought she would ask Angela about it later.

"To be honest, I would have taken action directly in the past, but now I can understand, after all, everyone makes mistakes."

Carly threw her cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out. "I'm going to prepare the feint attack team."

As soon as Carly left, a fully armed squad of rabbits occupied the empty fifth floor of the parking lot. Their full-coverage black helmets were adorned with rabbit ears, giving off an eerie sense of threat.

"The little rabbit is here to eat grass!"

All the rabbits were completely covered by their uniforms, with only their hands showing. The only exception was the captain with short white hair, who was not wearing a helmet and stood at the front of the group with his arms crossed.

After finishing his report, Miao looked around strangely before turning to Du Jue, who was standing in front of the railing. "I must remind you, this contract only mentions that you need to work within Lobotomy Corporation. The work in the city will be paid for separately."

"This place looks like it's outside of Company L, right?"

Du Jue simply nodded slightly upon hearing this, then called out to Angela, quietly watching as Miao repeatedly confirmed the contract details through the earpiece.

"Now that the company has confirmed there are no problems, let me double-check the mission objective. Our task is to clear out the weeds on the west side, but sealing off the site is not included this time."

Without waiting for Du Jue's instructions, Miao turned around and gave the order to his team members, "Now, clear that field."

Four teleportation portals suddenly appeared on both sides of the group, and dozens of people quickly stepped into them.

Da da da!

A continuous barrage of gunfire suddenly erupted from the opposite bank of the lake, causing the horde of corpses, which had been still, to turn violently.

"Quickly! Stop it! Act now! Those cultists have all jumped into the lake!"

Carly's voice came from below, prompting Du Jue to quickly go downstairs.

However, Du Jue was stunned by the commotion before him as soon as he stepped down.

From the ant-like swarm of corpses, several black machine factories slowly rose up, and even many huge aggregate monsters emerged.

To return to where they came from, they built a tall tower.

They received no answers, only the fading of life...

This spiritual echo immediately made Du Jue realize that a test was coming to this place. When he looked up, he saw killing machines spewing out from the machine factory.

hum!

The gray machine, wielding a massive chainsaw, sliced ​​the corpses near the factory into immobile pieces.

Gabriel observed this scene for a moment, then spoke, "It seems there's been some unknown change within this church. Should we continue with the plan, or should we prevent further action?"

"Of course! Charge now!"

Du Jue approached the horde of corpses with great enthusiasm, but the closer he got, the more nervous he became. He hadn't felt anything when he looked down at the pile of corpses, but as he got closer, he felt the oppressive feeling brought by the sea of ​​people.

Tear it apart!

The boning knife instantly cleaved the corpse in front of him, but seemingly endless corpses quickly squeezed out from behind, giving Du Jue the illusion that he hadn't done anything.

This was the first time he had ever experienced such an unimaginable number of enemies. The enemies didn't even waver because of the casualties; as soon as one fell, two more would take its place.

Bang!

With an extended, mimicry-like greatsword, Carly cleaved the monster into a bloody mist from the side. Her excited, grinning expression only paused for a moment before unleashing another reverse slash, instantly creating a large gap in the horde of corpses.

"Hey, stick close to me, don't fall behind!"

The blood mist caused the familiar armor on Carly to reappear.

Ilya's reinforcements quickly cleared the corpses around the gap to ensure the two could escape.

Upon seeing this, Du Jue immediately reacted, exhaled lightly, and a thick white smoke gathered on his face, forming a minimalist smile. He also took out the smoke lantern and hung it on his waist.

The previous core suppression made Dujue rely too much on self-expression, and he almost forgot the original function of the work tool.

Blood pump!

The thorn spear, hardened and shrouded in smoke, instantly swept away the oncoming human corpses, but the gap was quickly filled by the crowd of corpses behind it.

"Carly, let's go!"

Equipped with the Thorn Spear and the Crusher's Unyielding Step, his revitalized body instantly emitted choking smoke.

The two men, accompanied by an unusual red and white mist, powerfully tore through the defensive line of human corpses, carving out a path of four to five hundred meters of minced flesh and corpses in half a minute.

However, the resistance suddenly increased, with all sorts of monster corpses coming from all directions, and even two huge corpse polymers lunging at them.

The enormous shadows cast by their seven- or eight-meter-long bodies alone could completely cover the two of them.

Carly, who was leading the charge, gripped the hilt of the mimicry greatsword with both hands with disdain. "It's just a monster driven by instinct. It's not even worthy of my anger!"

boom!

A huge and wide flash of hideous blood light passed by, but the polymer of corpses closest to Carly was not split in two. Instead, it exploded completely, scattering countless fragments of flesh and blood.
