Latter Day Ark 25

"Is this person Dr. Adolf?" The bearded thick finger pointed to someone in the middle of the photo, "If it is really him, then Dr. Adolf is too alive, right?"

The bearded man frowned and raised his head to look at the driver: "Second brother, when was this photo taken before?"

The second child turned the steering wheel quickly, knocking into the air a low-level zombie who was chasing him. The huge black rubber wheel hub crushed the zombie, and the zombie was instantly crushed into pieces. The sticky carrion stuck to the wheel hub. As he moved, a gradually fading black-red trace was left in the pure white snow.

"Come here fifty years ago?" The bald man whistled as he watched the zombies ravage, "Beautiful little brother, am I driving in the right direction? Why is it getting more and more deviated? Is there really a laboratory in this place? "

Bai Lixin checked the location and route in his mind: "That's right, we'll be there in about 30 minutes by car."

The bearded man looked at the endless snowy surface in front of him: "I really never expected that the end of the world has been going on for more than 50 years, and there are still laboratories operating outside, and even scientific researchers with high IQ. Even in a mild climate There is not much food in the area, how did those people survive in such a cold area where there is no grass?"

"Humanity's potential is really endless," Hu said with a sigh, "Since there are laboratories here, is it possible that there are laboratories in other places on Blue Star that we haven't discovered?"

Bai Lixin: "Maybe there is. After all, the unknown is the norm in such a huge blue star."

"Unknown is normal." The bearded man repeated Bai Lixin's words, chuckled twice, and looked sideways at the snowy scenery outside the window.

The window reflected a bearded resolute and vigorous face. His appearance looked like he was still in his prime, but his eyes were full of old age.

Dr. Sang pulled Bai Lixin's wrist: "The memory of the transparent crystal nucleus you absorbed has not yet appeared?"

Bai Lixin: "I haven't had much memory, is there any problem?"

Dr. Sang: "The problem is not really a problem, it's just a little strange. Logically speaking, the memory will appear within three days at the latest after absorbing it, but yours hasn't appeared for a long time."

Zhou Guang who was on the side asked, "Is there any danger, such as sequelae or something?"

Xia Chi also came up together: "That's right, brother won't lose his mind because of this, right?"

Bai Lixin: "?"

Or you better keep your mouth shut.

Dr. Sang: ""

Hold back, he called my wife "Brother".

Half an hour later, everyone found the ruins of the laboratory buried by glaciers in the vast snow.

Although everyone was a little shocked, judging from the traces of destruction, this place is indeed a very rigorous laboratory.

The laboratory is hidden under the snow, and these thick white snows just become the best cover.

Several people scraped through the thick snow and braved the frost to get into the cave entrance.

The surrounding temperature has dropped to an unknown degree below zero. Even after entering the dark tunnel, there is still no sign of warming up.

"Grass, it's so cold, labor and management's hands are numb from the cold," the bearded man took out a flashlight from his backpack, and tried to flip the switch, only to find that the cold iron bumps had frozen into a ball, "My flashlight It’s frozen and can’t be opened, what about yours?”

In the darkness, there was a rustling sound around, and then people came back one after another: "Mine is turned on but it doesn't light up."

"I can't open mine either."

"Mine are frozen too."

The bearded man sighed, and stuffed the flashlight into his backpack, "It's so cold, the flashlight will freeze."

Liang Xi said regretfully: "It would be great if Samuel was here, he has a fire ability."

Bai Lixin's voice came from the front: "I have a rope here, let's hold on to each other, so that we won't fall behind in action, I will pass the rope over, and each of you tie a slipknot on your wrist, so that if there is any problem, You can also get away quickly."

Everyone thought Zhou Guang's method was good, and he began to pass the rope from front to back in an orderly manner. Standing in the dark with beards, he felt the rope coming from the front and quickly took it, neatly tying a bow on his wrist.

Someone pushed and shoved heavily on the back, and the beard frowned slightly, and patiently said in the dark space: "Dude, don't worry, I will give you the rope."

The moment the rope was thrown behind him by the beard, he felt that the other end of the rope was being grabbed tightly, as if with great force.

The man held the rope tightly with one hand, and pressed the other hand firmly on the bearded shoulder, feeling very frightened.

The bearded man secretly laughed at the coward in his heart, and several figures flashed back and forth in his mind.

Although I don't know which member of Bailixin's team it is, but I am too timid.

Just return to the lab? Isn't it a hindrance?

The bearded man couldn't help but whispered to the person behind him: "Brother, if you're really scared, you can go up first and wait in the car. Don't hold back when the time comes."

There was a short, tense gasp in response to the beard.

Bai Lixin, who was at the front, spoke again: "It's all wrapped up. We will report the number every once in a while. This is the first time to report the number. I will start first, 1."

"2." "3." "7."

The sound of counting came one by one, and the people behind grabbed him more and more tightly. When the beard heard the people in front finished counting, he secretly broke free from the guts behind him.

With the little devil's grasp, he answered "8" absent-mindedly.

Behind him, there was no sound.

The bearded man was completely angry, he frowned and turned his head towards the dark voice, cursing in a low voice: "Enough buddy, can you do it? If you can't, hurry up, don't you know when you report the number? Hurry up and count."

Around, there were several gasps.

A hesitant voice from the bald head sounded from the front: "Boss, who are you talking to?"

"This person behind me," the bearded man felt the hand grabbing him again, and he knocked down the opponent's hand irritably: "You are enough, are you finished?!"

"But, boss," the bald man's voice was very clear in the darkness, "we only have eight people."

"Yeah, so I called 8 just now, he should." The bearded voice stopped abruptly, and he finally remembered that he was the last one to come in just now, "Fuck."

The cold hand came up again, and the bearded man noticed that the cold, shriveled hand with pointed nails was not their hand at all.

The instinctive attack made him grab the hand in an instant, but the hand was very flexible, and it let out a strange hoarse laughter of "quack, quack, swish" and disappeared into the dark tunnel.

The moving "swish" sound didn't sound like running, it was more like something was rubbing against the ground and walking.

Hearing that voice gradually disappear, Baili Xin didn't have too much obsession with it. He supported the frosty cold wall and took two tentative steps forward, "Let's go, be careful where you step, and follow closely."

Bai Lixin walked very slowly, because after entering here, he immediately found that his abilities were blocked.

He has been trying to use his ability to detect the surroundings since just now, but there is no sign of the ability being activated at all.

Is it just me having this problem, or does it happen to everyone?

Baili Xin moved slowly, and under the effect of dark adaptation, everyone gradually began to see some blurred shadows around them.

"Hiss, that's weird, my ability doesn't seem to work anymore." Li Cancan asked in the dark, "Try it and see if it still works."

Soon, everyone found that their abilities could not be used at all.

In this strange dark space where they are completely passive, they have lost the ability to survive.

What's more serious, all their skills and item cards were also temporarily sealed up due to dungeons.

This means that at this moment, they are no different from those in the trial dungeon, they are just ordinary people.

But what's around here?

It's dark, cold, and there are powerful and terrifying zombies that may emerge at any time.

A natural sense of fear suddenly rose from the bottom of everyone's heart.

It was extremely quiet in the darkness, and no one said anything.

But the tense atmosphere has already hovered around them.

"If our powers completely disappear after we enter this laboratory, then those people with powers who came here before, such as the powerful Yuan, will most likely have all their powers disappear when they enter here."

"Yeah, Yuan is such a powerful supernatural being," said Hu at the end of the team, "I'm afraid even transparent zombies may not be his opponent, let alone there were so many strong people by his side at that time. I I have always wondered what zombie killed him, and now I finally understand why."

"The zombies who killed him were not necessarily strong, but they were very fragile at the time. No matter how tough a weapon is, it will lose its activity after frosting and be easily broken."

Knowing the truth of Yuan's death, the bearded man calmed down, "Yuan will die, but we may not. Yuan has always relied on his abilities, but apart from abilities, I have not given up physical strengthening exercises."

"My blood is boiling right now."

The bearded words were like a shot in the arm, calming down the others present.

The team continues to move forward.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound of an object hitting the wall, and Zhou Guang immediately asked, "What happened?"

Bai Lixin withdrew his raised foot, and said calmly: "A bug jumped out just now, and I kicked it away, it's okay."

"They are already waiting for an opportunity around, so be careful."

While speaking, several gusts of cold wind suddenly passed through the darkness.

In the next second, there was a rumbling sound.

Bai Lixin: "Are you all right?"

Xia Chi: "Brother, I'm fine. These zombies are so weak."

The bearded voice was calm: "Don't take it lightly. It is impossible for zombies of this level to kill Yuan and the others. There must be more powerful existences behind."

Because they couldn't see and there were too many obstacles, several people walked in the dark for half an hour before reaching the end.

From time to time, little zombies would jump down to attack them, but they were all sent away one by one.

Facing the darkness, everyone vaguely saw a huge door in front of them.

The thick and cold metal texture exudes a majestic and majestic brilliance in the dark. When the beard knocked on the door, the door immediately made a dull "dong dong dong". He withdrew his hand regretfully: "It would be great if my ability still exists. I can punch through this iron door with one punch. What should I do now? Stare?"

Zhou Guang: "The one named Yuan should go inside, right? Maybe there are keys or clues around to get in, let's look for it."

Beard: "Yes, yes, look for it. Damn it, where can I find it from Heibulongdong? We don't know whether Yuan went in or not?"

Bai Lixin knocked on the door thoughtfully, "Don't be so troublesome?"

Beard: "Do you have any other good solutions?"

Bai Lixin put both hands on the crack of the door: "There is no good way."

The bearded man grinned: "What nonsense are you talking about? It doesn't need to be so troublesome, and there is no good way. Is it possible that you can still knock on the door with your bare hands?"

With a muffled "Boom", two cold metal sliding doors slowly opened towards the two sides.

The young man's somewhat casual voice followed immediately, "It's opened, it's not easy to open."

In the darkness, the bearded and bald head stared blankly at the blurry silhouette in front of them. In the middle of the two huge iron doors, a tall and slender figure stood, with two arms that didn't look strong spread out in a straight line to both sides, firmly propping the iron door open.

Beard: ""

Bald: ""

What the fuck, brother, what's your last name?

Your surname is not "Chao" and your last name is "Ren", brother!

Brother, do you still need help, brother?

Studio.

Fortunately, the live broadcast room has its own night vision function. Let's just say that the system has finally made a comeback.

Xin Shen reproduced his Super Saiyan power, awesome Xin Shen, it seems to scare the two hillbillies.

In contrast, Xia Chi and the others were much calmer.

That is, after all, it is also a group of four who grew up under Xin Shen, and what they have seen is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The scariest thing is the boss's expression, okay? What the hell is that doting expression on her face?

I declare that this b was installed by Xin Shen!

Invisible pretentiousness is the most deadly.

The sliding door was closed again after a few people entered, and the surrounding area was still dark. I don't know if it was because of the iron door blocking the reason, but the room immediately warmed up a lot.

"The flashlight still can't be turned on," Xia Chi flicked the useless flashlight in his hand, the cold metal shell hit the wall, everyone only heard a crisp "click" sound, and a bright light fell on them in an instant overhead.

Xia Chi looked at the flashlight in his hand, then at the switch on the wall that he accidentally touched, and said happily: "It seems that my luck is still as good as before."

"This may be talent, hey, it's so heavy."

Everyone: ""

What Versailles speaks.

Along with the lights, there are heating and ventilation systems.

As the white light adapted, everyone slowly opened their eyes. But the moment they saw the scene in front of them clearly, everyone fell into silence again.

This is an empty circular area. The original color here should be mainly white, but now it is filled with blood and corpses.

There are a lot of zombie corpses, as well as the corpses of supernatural beings who are familiar with combat uniforms.

No matter how opposed the zombies and the supernatural beings were in front of them, at the moment of death, they could only let the corpses fall down and be buried here with the corpses of the enemy.

Zombies and human corpses are entangled with each other, and many of them are maintaining a death posture.

Some zombies bit the neck of the supernatural being, but the supernatural being pierced the zombie's forehead with a knife.

Some of them were two zombies tearing the legs of the supernatural being, and the supernatural being's eyes widened unwillingly, the blood-red bloodshot eyeballs were full of resentment and unwillingness.

Li Cancan and Liang Xi couldn't bear to turn their heads away.

The bearded man carefully scanned these supernatural beings who were still fighting desperately at the last moment of their lives, and said in an extremely heavy voice: "I know many of them, some of them are from Yuan's team, some of them were from earlier The teams that came here. No matter which team it was, they, without exception, didn't or went back."

"After the first team entered, there was no news."

"The same goes for the second and third."

"Until Yuan led the superpowers to attack here, he escaped at the end, with a transparent crystal nucleus and scars all over his body, exhausted all his strength to come to the front of the ark, and died under the ark. Later, he was on a mission The supernatural being found Yuan's body and brought him back."

"Because they were afraid that Yuan would be alienated, they didn't even keep Yuan's whole body, they cut off Yuan's head directly, and only brought back the body, shield and the transparent crystal nucleus."

The bearded and bald head silently gave the highest military salute to these corpses, with solemn eyes.

The rumbling sound of starting sounded under everyone's feet, and a hidden elevator suddenly appeared on the wall of some empty circular room.

The bearded man glanced at the opened elevator: "Are all laboratories secretly built underground? Do you have to take the elevator every time?"

"After all, the land can bury many things." Zhou Guang said deeply, "Such as secrets, such as death."

When getting on the elevator, Bai Lixin glanced at the very concealed bronzing engraving on the side of the elevator. The date displayed on it was s3013. It seemed that the laboratory was completed after the zombie outbreak.

The buttons on the elevator only have two numbers, 1 and -16, and there is not even room for everyone to choose.

The bald head quickly pressed -16, the elevator door slowly closed, and then slowly fell.

In the elevator, there were also countless bloodstains, but there were no corpses.

Zhou Guang took out a self-defense knife from his waist, "There will probably be zombies down there, everyone, get ready to fight. Those who have revenge, vent their anger

To vent your anger, don't die. "

The bearded man covered his face with his hands and laughed, and the bracelet made of hair on his wrist dangled, "Laozi will not be killed by these gangsters, I haven't lived enough yet."

As the -16th floor got closer, the speed of the elevator also began to slow down.

In the narrow cramped space, everyone was waiting solemnly, looking at the closed silver metal door with vigilance.

Even through the metal door, they could hear the barking and roaring of the zombies.

Finally, the elevator stopped.

The roaring outside the door was even worse, and they even heard the sound of the zombies scratching their fingernails on the elevator door. Those anxious voices seemed eager to open the blind metal box.

The moment the elevator door opened, the bearded man was the first to rush out.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the strong muscles of his whole body stretched into a strong line. With the knife in his hand, he had already cut open the foreheads of two ugly zombies, and took out the crystal nucleus.

In the passage outside, there is an army of hundreds of zombies. They have horrible and disgusting rotten cheeks, and their bodies are distorted to attack everyone.

Others rushed out after him.

"It's just in time!" Xia Chi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his normally sunny face was now as strong as ice, he jumped up and down nimbly on top of the zombie's head, and all the places where he landed were the corpses of a zombie, "I'm watching from above I'm so full of anger, worrying that I have no place to vent, you are really rushing to die!"

Bai Lixin observed secretly while harvesting the heads of the zombies.

Zhou Guang's fighting ability is not weak, even though he usually works as a brain output, but he is not timid in the face of these zombies.

Although he doesn't have Xia Chi's strength and flexibility, he is smart.

Facing the mindless zombies, they couldn't even touch Zhou Guang's clothes.

Zhou Guang can predict the zombie's attack at the fastest speed every time, and find the most suitable blind spot and position to attack.

Liang Xi's strength was a little weaker, but he was not stupid, he knew that he was not the opponent of the zombies, and he picked only soft persimmons, but after a while, he also killed a lot of zombies.

Li Cancan was the one who surprised Baili Xin the most. Li Cancan always gave him a gentle and affectionate feeling. She had a very delicate mind, and it stands to reason that her physical strength should be the worst among the four.

But at this moment, Li Cancan's flexibility was comparable to Xia Chi's.

When she entered the attack mode, she changed from her usual gentleness to a mesmerizing ruthlessness.

Her watery eyes seemed to be raging with a storm at this moment.

Studio.

Team showtime is here! Sister Cancan is so strong, Xia Chi is so handsome! Brother Guang is so wise! Liang Xi is so cute. I love all four of them!

Oh my god, as expected of the Big Four of the Xinhuo Guild, they are really strong.

So they are so strong without skills and abilities? I thought they were strong because they picked up rare skills because of their good tone. Grass, I took the liberty.

Core fire guild f4, fight to become famous today!

Unsurprisingly, Li Cangshan received the refusal application from the Xinhuo Guild again. This is his thirteenth application.

Looking at the rejection documents lying in the recycle bin one by one, he smiled wryly, searched the guild list, and began to try to find new partners.

Although the Core Fire Guild seems to be the most suitable, but there is no way to enter, which means that the first step cannot be taken.

He can't waste any more time.

While he was looking at other guilds, he glanced at the live broadcast on the computer.

For a moment, his eyes were frozen, and his eyes were chasing the girl with a graceful figure and a sense of strength.

The small and exquisite facial features, sharp eyes, and capable movements are completely different from the usual Li Cancan, but even more charming.

Then, his eyes fell on the others.

Everyone's actions are remarkable.

Rigorous, strong, struggling, working hard, fighting hard, he could easily see these words in these few people.

Personality can indeed be disguised, but under extreme danger, the disguised personality will definitely show its flaws, and then it is the most true inner nature.

And these few people showed him the inner qualities he wanted most.

At this moment, Li Cangshan broke all worries.

He recognized them.

Seeing the application for membership, Li Cangshan thought for a while, but this time he did not continue to fill in the application, but put it aside.

Waiting, sometimes does not delay the process, but can better brew sublimation.

From now on, he will wait for them to come back, stand solemnly in front of them, and confess to Bai Lixin and them.

Yes, he did it for the sake of organization and honorable tasks.

It has nothing to do with the beautiful and fierce sister Cancan.

Ten minutes later, there were only zombie corpses left on the passage.

The densely packed zombies just now all died on the ground, and the messy corpses were spread in the corridor, leaving almost no place for everyone to stay.

Li Cancan returned to his gentle and gentle appearance, and hid shyly at the back, his face slightly pale.

Although everyone was a little tired, they had no casualties in this battle, only victory.

Giving a thumbs up to the four of them, Bai Lixin stepped forward on the zombie corpses all over the ground.

This is the 16th floor underground, and the temperature is much higher than the ground.

Enduring the nausea, a few people also learned a hundred

Risin's pose moves forward.

Soon, they found a closed glass door at the end of the zombie body, which was the only room on this floor.

Inside the room is a huge laboratory. There are several test benches in the lab, and a lot of instruments and equipment are randomly placed on each test bench. It seems that the experiment was interrupted halfway through, and there was no other way but to throw it on the spot.

The huge display screen hanging on the wall had long since turned dark. The few people found nothing in the laboratory, but found a room stored with liquid nitrogen at the back of the laboratory.

In this room, apart from a small, boxy box, there were several corpses lying there.

The corpses consisted of men and women, all wearing white coats.

One of the corpses held the small box tightly in his arms.

Looking at the shape of this blue box, it is likely to be a storage box for storing antigens.

The bearded man bent down and was about to close the eyelids of a certain corpse, then he let out a "huh" and quickly walked to the other corpses to observe carefully. Soon, he stood up from the ground, "These few corpses It's just zombies."

"But it's strange," the bearded beard was very puzzled. "I thought they were scientific researchers at first, or did they all get infected by zombies in the end, and hid here to protect their antigens and killed themselves?"

Bai Lixin frowned, looking down at the corpses.

I don't know why, since he entered here and saw these corpses, his heart suddenly felt sore for no reason.

But he can be sure that this bitterness and sorrow does not come from himself, but from the guidance of another existence.

If it wasn't for him, then only the transparent crystal nucleus would be left.

In my mind, something seemed to surge.

Then there was a flood of sadness, instantly filling Baili Xin's chest.

Ding! Congratulations to the player, you have obtained a memory from zombies.

The immersive memory playback will start below.

The sound of the escape system suddenly sounded, and after it finished speaking, countless memories that did not belong to him swept in mercilessly like a flood that opened the gate. He staggered two steps, and subconsciously supported the people around him with his fingers.

The fingers of those hands were slender and powerful. Before Baili Xin passed out, she only saw Dr. Sang's shocked and worried eyes.

"Hey, how unlucky, we were selected for this dungeon. This dungeon is a narrow escape."

Bai Lixin opened his eyes in a haze, and what caught his eyes was a pair of innocent big eyes.

The owner of that face is very strange and does not know him, but obviously the owner of this memory knows him.

His eyes swayed uncontrollably from side to side twice, and then he heard a young female voice sounding close at hand: "Don't be afraid, if you come, you will be at peace, anyway, everyone is the same."

The one who spoke should be the owner of this memory.

And now he is viewing this memory from the perspective of the owner of this memory.

"Now is the 30th year of the end, let me see what our mission is."

"It's so difficult, it turned out to be promoted to S rank within a month, can I do this?"

"It's almost like playing a game. We just need to brush monsters to level up, hahahaha."

"At that time, we will form a team together, with more people and more strength, and the upgrade will be faster."

The owner of the memory nodded: "Well, good."

The people who spoke were all taskers. From the perspective of the memory master, Bai Lixin found that the number of people participating in the task this time was not as many as their current 200 people, and there were only fifty people by visual inspection.

The memory of the memory owner is always beating, and then the screen jumped a few times. They were still on the ark just now, and they have appeared on the battlefield and started fighting with the zombies.

The owner of the memory trembled, as if he had been frightened. Seeing a zombie open its mouth and bite her arm, a player finally rushed over to kill the zombie.

This battle was very cruel, with an endless army of zombies and a few players with supernatural powers, as the system sound sounded again and again.

In the end, there were only eight people left in the entire battlefield, and one of them was the Memory Master.

Just when the eight people thought they were going to die, the surging army of zombies suddenly retreated.

The standing players stayed there in a daze. They didn't have the joy of surviving after the catastrophe, but the despair after constant physical and psychological torture.

Among the seven people that Bai Lixin could see, those who were lying in the liquid nitrogen room were all among them.

A person asked lately: "What should we do next? Should we go back?"

"Can't go back!" Another person interrupted him, "Although we are still alive, we are all injured. After we go back, these NPCs will not save us, they will only kill us!"

Someone panicked and said: "Then what should we do? Just wait to become a zombie, a walking dead?"

The ark in the distance slowly opened the passage, and several people in protective clothing were walking down.

The memory master said hurriedly: "Let's leave here first, what should we do, we can discuss it later, okay?!"

The players looked at each other for only a few seconds, and finally fled the battlefield with all their strength.

They ran all the way north and stopped exhaustedly until they were sure that the people behind were not catching up.

At this time, the faces of the two players who were bitten were already pale, and it seemed that they were about to mutate.

Seeing people fall into despair,

A charming figure walked towards them facing the wind and snow.

She has hair as thick as seaweed, and her pale body is covered with gorgeous black patterns.

It was the zombie queen.

Everyone looked at her in shock, and Bailixin also felt her fear from the memory master.

Just when all the players felt that they were dead, "she" said slowly, "I can save you."

Saying that, the Zombie Queen cut her wrist lightly with her nails, and crystal clear red blood gushed out instantly.

The blood dripped on the snow and immediately turned into blossoming red plums.

Weird and beautiful.

The zombie queen put her wrists together: "I regret to tell you that all of you have been infected with the zombie virus."

Everyone's face suddenly turned pale.

The zombie queen continued: "Now I have no way to eliminate the zombie virus in your body, but my blood can inhibit the spread of the zombie virus. You drank my blood. Although the fact that you become a zombie will not change, your The will doesn't change."

Just when everyone was skeptical, the two players from before suddenly went berserk, faintly showing signs of going berserk and biting.

They roared like crazy, but their eyes were attracted by the zombie queen's blood, and they greedily came up to suck her wound.

And it was only a blink of an eye after they drank the blood, and the two regained their senses.

The Zombie Queen smiled: "Do you believe what I said?"

A player asked: "But why did you help us? From the looks of you, you are obviously a fairly high-level zombie, right?"

Zombie Queen: "Because I need you, I, like you, also want to get rid of the zombie disease."

"Everything I do is not charity. I save you, and you have to help me. Although my blood can suppress toxins, it still needs to be replenished every once in a while. During this period, you have to use my blood, Antibodies and antidotes for zombie viruses have been developed."

"As long as you make an antidote, you can turn back into human beings. If you want, you can come and drink my blood. We have made a contract. Next, I will take you to the secret laboratory I found, where We are safe."

"But if you don't agree, I will leave you to fend for yourself now."

The Zombie Queen stretched out her arms and smiled slightly: "You only have one chance to choose, so hurry up, cuties."
