Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
These were human corpses, judging by their shape, but strangely, hair seemed to have grown around them, suggesting they hadn't died naturally. Liu Ning had seen dead bodies before, but never anything like this. After humanity entered the spiritual energy revival stage, many new cultivation methods emerged, and some people thought of cultivating by drinking human blood.
When Liu Ning emerged, two nine-person teams were already there, ready to begin their search. However, what they saw shocked them. The contents were beyond what ordinary people understood. These were human corpses, judging by their shape, but strangely, hair seemed to have grown around them, suggesting they hadn't died naturally. Furthermore, their blood vessels were bulging, indicating a lack of blood, perhaps drained by others. This was indeed a very eerie situation. Liu Ning had seen dead bodies before, but never anything like this. A sense of unease arose within him; if even Liu Ning felt this way, the others would surely be even more perplexed.
“From now on, turn off all your cameras. Not a single word of anything from here is allowed to get out. And pretend you never saw any of this. What happened here is classified as Level 2 Secret. Anyone who leaks this information will be held responsible. Don’t blame me for not warning you. You probably understand the situation here. If this gets out, none of us will be in good shape. Remember this: what I’m about to say could very well cause public panic. So, there are some things I don’t need to tell you, such as what to say and what not to say.”
At this moment, a term came to Liu Ning's mind: vampire. In fact, similar situations had occurred before. After humanity entered the spiritual energy revival stage, many new cultivation methods emerged, and some people thought of cultivating by drinking human blood. However, these were not like this. Compared with those people, this was still quite different. Although both were prohibited by society, this was more surprising. Liu Ning couldn't understand these things either, so he could only teach his subordinates a lesson first and prevent them from spreading rumors. This was also very important.
The soldiers immediately turned off their body cameras. To be honest, what they saw terrified them. Although they had received formal military training and some had even carried out special missions, the sight still frightened them. They couldn't understand how these people had become like this, especially the terrified expressions on their faces before they died. It meant they had seen something. Their eyes were wide open and their tongues were sticking out, like hanged ghosts. It was impossible for them to be like this under normal circumstances. Everyone took turns filming each other and then stood in front of Liu Ning to search the entire building. Although Liu Ning was stronger, their discipline dictated that they could not expose Liu Ning to danger.
Liu Ning had sent them ahead because he had already searched the entire building and found nothing, not even a single living creature nearby. Therefore, Liu Ning concluded there was no danger. He admitted he might not be as good as them at some details, and besides, he couldn't explain what had happened. Was he supposed to tell them he had a system that had already searched the entire building and they didn't need to waste time searching other floors? That would surely scare them. Liu Ning was now puzzled. It seemed that guy had just done something on this floor, but where had he gone? They had all come up in the elevator, and there were soldiers on the stairs. Where had this guy gone?
"Inspect every room. All soldiers at the front are to be loaded with high-caliber explosive ammunition. If anything seems amiss, we have been authorized to open fire, including on monsters and aided residents. It's highly likely that the residents here have already been infected..."
The officer in charge was giving orders in a low voice. There was no other way; if they were to be so particular, it wouldn't do them any good. If the current situation wasn't resolved properly, no one knew what the future would hold. So, they had to seal off the area, and nothing inside could be allowed to leave. If anything leaked out, it would be a fatal blow to the civilians outside. Not to mention the civilians, even the soldiers present had never seen anything like it. If word got out, all sorts of rumors would spread throughout the city, and many people might go crazy and want to leave. That would be a real problem, and they wouldn't know how to deal with it. Liu Ning was busy helping humanity with their investigation; he couldn't let his help go to this extent.
Liu Ning immediately gave orders to the soldiers on the surrounding floors, granting them the right to fire. Liu Ning was well aware that even if the soldiers fired, they wouldn't be able to do much to these creatures, as their defenses were extremely strong. Even when he used a sniper rifle to target their weak points, he couldn't kill them, let alone the soldiers with their submachine guns. The reason he gave them the order to fire was partly to intimidate them, and partly because he knew he would know sooner if they fired than if they reported it. If he waited for their reports, who knew what might happen? So, Liu Ning gave the order to fire so he could find these people quickly.
Although the bullets were loaded, the soldiers present were still somewhat frightened. Regardless of what they had seen before, the current situation shocked them. These things were beyond their comprehension. Looking at the expressions of the people on the ground, they didn't know what they had experienced before their deaths. Now, they were huddled together, their hearts filled with fear. While these people were searching, they found some strange liquid in the second room and immediately called Liu Ning over. Liu Ning immediately told them to stand aside. No one knew what this stuff was. If there were any problems, his body was much stronger than theirs. He couldn't let these ordinary soldiers suffer here.
"The specimen team needs to come up immediately. Until they arrive, everyone must leave this room, including everything inside. Anyone who touches anything must report it now. If no one has touched anything, go outside and stand guard..."
