Infinite Pollution: The SSS Guide Pierces the Horror Dungeon - chapter 16

Wen Song had no time to analyze why her Spirit Body hadn’t detected the anomaly here before, but dashed forward at the fastest possible speed.

Knives couldn’t pierce it; guns couldn’t break through.

Wen Song seemed to hear, from the end of the corridor, that the two Rat-Headed men had already gotten up from the ground, bullets clattering all over the floor.

Wen Song quickly pulled a bomb from her waist and hurled it onto the floor.

She retreated swiftly.

Beep, beep, beep-

Boom!!!

A terrifying wave of heat, accompanied by a tremendous roar, erupted throughout the entire town.

All the Aberrants who were hunting, upon hearing the sound, instantly wore furious expressions and rushed in this direction together!

[What the hell! What was that sound!]

[Who did that!]

[Who’s so bold!]

After the shockwave of the explosion faded, Wen Song heard the screams of the Rat-Head Couple charging toward her, and immediately jumped into the huge hole blasted in the ground.

Her voice was calm: [It was me.]

The team channel fell silent for a moment.

[Guide Wen is awesome!]

[Guide Wen is so cool!]

[Guide Wen is amazing!]

[Guide Wen, be careful. All the Aberrants on my side are heading your way.]

[Same here.]

[+1.]

Among all the voices, Qin Xu’s was especially distinct: [Wen Song, send your location.]

Wen Song quickly sent her location. Meanwhile, her foot landed on something solid.

Clothes?

No, not clothes.

Wen Song looked down and, with just one glance, saw the same thing as in the kitchen.

Human skin.

Under the human skin, it was slippery and carried an intense chill.

Ice.

Thick blocks of ice wrapped the entire passageway tightly.

Even though Wen Song’s combat suit could automatically regulate temperature, she could still feel the cold.

The temperature here was ridiculously low.

[Helmet switched to night vision mode.]

The helmet detected the current environment and automatically switched to night vision mode.

Wen Song looked up, and even though she had seen countless corpses, she felt a wave of nausea at this moment.

Human skin – densely packed human skin.

Above her head, on both sides of the corridor, under her feet.

It was all human skin.

Wen Song wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but as she walked on these skins, she felt as if something was grabbing her feet, making her unconsciously sink downward.

Wen Song yanked her foot free and hurried forward.

The deeper she went, the colder it became.

Wen Song even felt that her breath was turning into white vapor. If not for the helmet’s self-cleaning system, she would have been virtually blind by now.

After passing through the long frozen corridor, Wen Song saw a staircase leading downward.

She began to walk down, step by step.

Suddenly, her Spirit Body brushed against something.

[Ah, so warm, so warm! It’s the Black Panther! Cute Little Black Panther!]

Wen Song turned her head quickly and saw Qin Xu, who had appeared at some unknown moment in another frozen corridor.

At the same time, her Spirit Body had already hugged the fluffy Black Panther.

Wen Song didn’t know if her senses were mistaken, but her body really did seem a bit warmer.

Just as Wen Song sensed Qin Xu, Qin Xu also noticed Wen Song.

But before he could speak, his own Spirit Body had already leapt out uncontrollably.

The moment he felt those familiar tendrils wrap around his body, Qin Xu’s breath caught.

[Captain Qin?]

Hearing the voice in his earpiece, Qin Xu forced himself to suppress his physical reaction. [It’s me. There is a passage like this under every shop, and they all lead to the same place.]
Wen Song nodded, and the two of them walked down together.

She didn’t know if it was because of Qin Xu, but Wen Song felt it wasn’t as cold as before.

Her body silently edged closer to Qin Xu.

Qin Xu noticed Wen Song’s approach, and after a brief pause, tacitly allowed her to come closer.

If there were other team members here, they would surely show astonished looks once again.

Their Captain never liked anyone getting so close to him!

They wound their way down to the lowest level. Staring at the ice-sealed door, Wen Song looked at Qin Xu.

Blow it open?

Wen Song looked at Qin Xu, direct and unceremonious.

But Qin Xu didn’t take out any explosives. Instead, he grasped the door handle with one hand, his flesh and blood swelling instantly, “Bang!”

The frozen door was pulled open by his single hand.

Wen Song recalled how she couldn’t open the floor panel before and reflected at just the right time.

As expected, her physical strength was really lacking.

The two entered the basement together, and Wen Song hadn’t anticipated that this place would be so large.

It was at least the size of a soccer field.

There were hundreds of beds in the basement, each with a child lying on it.

The children lay calmly on the beds, their faces pale with a bluish tinge.

Hanging on the IV racks next to them were bottles filled with something red, as if the children were receiving transfusions.

[Dead.] Wen Song reached out with her Spirit Body’s tendril to touch the child on the bed and reached a conclusion.

She walked to the side of one child and, as expected, saw the same medicine bottle.

[Shan Cheng Pharmaceutical.]

She touched the four characters carved at the bottom.

These children were all given the same medication, which meant they had the same disease.

She looked up at the blood bottles hanging on the IV racks.

That blood was still being continuously transfused into the children’s bodies.

Was this the scene that the little girl wanted her to witness?

What did this have to do with the spread of the Pollution Zone?

She opened their bedside cabinets-empty.

Wen Song kept walking forward. Finally, at the far end of the basement, she saw the little girl called Xiao Yu.

She lay quietly on the bed, with a name tag affixed to the headboard.

Shu Xiaoyu.

There was also a cabinet by her bed. Wen Song was just about to open the cabinet in front of her.

Suddenly, Qin Xu spun around.

[They’re coming!]

In an instant, Qin Xu’s body shot toward the door like an agile leopard.

At the same time, countless Aberrants surged toward the entrance.

[Damn! These Aberrants have gone berserk!]

[Be careful not to get hurt by them!]

[I’ll kill you all!!!]

[Do or die!!!]

Whenever one Aberrant was killed, another quickly took its place.

As long as the cause of the Pollution Zone’s spread wasn’t solved, they would never die!

Watching her teammates rush into the mass of Aberrants, Wen Song lowered her head and quickly pulled open the drawer.

A contract.

Shan Cheng Pharmaceutical provided the children’s parents with medicine, promising to cure the disease.

In return, the parents were required to help them find the most suitable blood source.

What was the most suitable blood source?

Wen Song looked up at the blood bottles hanging by every child’s bedside.

This blood wasn’t medicine to save their lives.

It was what the mastermind truly wanted.

They were using these children as purification tools!

“Clatter.”

An old-fashioned cell phone fell out from under the little girl’s blanket.

Wen Song picked it up and quickly turned it on. There was a recording on it.

[Static… static… static…]

[Boss, can this kids’ blood really work?]
