If Qin Luo's guess is correct, Gu Qingyang may have been injured, and the injury was not serious. This is completely beyond Qin Luo's expectation, and his mind is a little messed up now.

When Qin Luo first met Gu Qingyang, it was half a year after the end of the world broke out. Although Gu Qingyang was not in good condition at that time, he was definitely not injured. After getting along for a long time, each of them mentioned some family matters. The reason why he said that Gu Qingyang was bereaved and reminded the other party about the phone call was also because Gu Qingyang had told him. At the beginning of the end of the world, because he was busy with work, he hung up the phone call from his only younger brother, and that call might be the emergency number that the other party finally dialed.

Gu Qingyang only noticed the difference when his younger brother didn't come home for two days. When he found out that the other party's villa rushed over, there were only bloodstained and broken flesh, and there were only zombies in the room, and there was no Gu Shunyang among the zombies. His fate was not good. It goes without saying.

Gu Shunyang's death has become a knot in Gu Qingyang's heart that he will never be able to untie, or it can be said to be a demon in his heart. He repeatedly emphasized Gu Shunyang's name and cause of death in the last days, as if he was constantly punishing himself. For a while, he even regarded himself as Gu Shunyang. If Gu Jinglei wasn't there, maybe Gu Qingyang wouldn't be able to make it through. As a partner who has been through life and death, Qin Luo certainly hopes to do it again to help him untie his knot. But he had calculated everything, and he didn't expect that Gu Qingyang would be injured.

Qin Luo's mind was spinning quickly, "Gu Qingyang, are you injured? Where are you?"

Gu Qingyang over there coughed a few times, "I just want to know, know, does what you say count?"

If it wasn't for the phone call, Qin Luo would have rushed over to slap him twice. What time is this guy, and he is still thinking about this problem here.

"Do the math, can you stop talking nonsense and save some energy, where the hell are you?" Qin Luo said, gnashing his teeth, because he heard gunshots.

I didn't expect that Qin Luosi would speak to himself in such a tone. Gu Qingyang on the phone was stunned before replying, "Shuangshi Road, Zenith International Building, No. 5568, fifth floor, you come from the left Go up the stairs, little, be careful that there are remaining virus carriers in this building."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Shuangshi Road is not far from the Qin family's villa. If you drive there, it may only take ten minutes.

"Mr. Qin, I know, I know I shouldn't call you here, it's dangerous, but, but I really don't know... who else can I ask for help..." Gu Qingyang's voice was trembling.

"Wait until you survive before talking nonsense with me." Qin Luo hung up the phone with a snap, turned to Mo Mo and said, "Come out with me, we have to save someone back."

Mo was a little unhappy, "Is it okay if we don't save him? I hate that policeman, everything."

Qin Luo pinched his nose, "If you hate anything else, you can hate it, but Gu Qingyang can't, he is our teammate... well, it can also be said to be a relative, a family member."

Mo scolded with a stiff face, his family does not have that smelly policeman.

Qin Luo asked Aunt Liu some more things, and then drove to the address Gu Qingyang said with Mo.

The road is extremely depressed, and almost all military vehicles pass by occasionally. Although there is no clear statement of martial law in the city, if someone finds out, they will definitely be sent home forcibly. They had to stop and go, hide and hide, to avoid the eyes of those people. When driving to Shuangshi Road, an entire hour had passed since Gu Qingyang called for help.

Qin Luo was extremely anxious, but there seemed to be a large-scale commotion near Shuangshi Road. Many cars were smashed and left in a mess on the road. This kind of turmoil has happened frequently recently, and the news has become too lazy to report it as carefully as it did at the beginning.

From the space, he took out two Tibetan knives that he bought secretly during a trip some time ago, and threw one to Mo, "If something threatens your life, kill him."

Mo weighed the Tibetan knife in his hand, he seemed dissatisfied, because he felt that his nails were much sharper than this thing.

Qin Luo knew what he was thinking, and explained, "If your identity is exposed too early, it will be very bad for us. The lunatics in the research institute have good noses, and I will have to drag you and flee with your family."

The corners of Mo's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and he was very happy that Qin Luo didn't leave him alone, but used the word "we". Even the dissatisfaction with saving Gu Qingyang has been greatly reduced.

The two carefully walked through the messy vehicles and quickly approached the Zenith Hotel.

It seems that this place has been cleaned up once, and there are not many zombies left. It is still easy to pass if you are prepared. The lighting on the zenith is very good, and everything in the hall can be seen very clearly. Qin Luo saw the stairs on the left hand side of the hall at a glance. Although the power has not been completely cut off yet, there is no need for additional light sources for lighting. There are also external glass windows in the stairwell. Even though it is not as bright as the hall, it is not a problem to see things.

The two climbed to the fifth floor and soon found the room with the number 5568. Qin Luo was about to knock on the door when Mo stopped him.

"In addition to Gu Qingyang, there is another infected person in the room." Mo frowned and said softly. Although he didn't care about Gu Qingyang's life or death, he didn't want Qin Luo to take risks.

Qin Luo frowned, "Let's take a look first, not all infected people will become zombies." Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, "Gu Qingyang, I'm Qin Luo."

"The door, the door is not locked... Open it yourself." There was a clear voice coming from the room, but it was not Gu Qingyang's.

Qin Luo slowly pressed the doorknob in doubt, and made the door open slowly inward with a little force. As far as I could see, there was a pile of messy furniture. A young man with a gray face was nervously hiding behind the furniture, staring at him with half of his face exposed. His eyebrows are somewhat similar to Gu Qingyang's, and he is probably Gu Qingyang's younger brother.

He saw Qin Luo standing alone at the door, and stood up nervously, pointing at Qin Luo with a gun in his hand, "You, why did you come here for so long, did you tell others about my brother calling you?" ?”

When Mo saw him pointing a gun at Qin Luo, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Qin Luo seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and waved his hand at Mo comfortingly behind his back, signaling him not to mess around. Mo was a little suffocated and snorted heavily.

Qin Luo looked at the young man with some helplessness, "We also want to come here quickly, but there are military vehicles all the way, you should know what it looks like outside now. Besides, you can see the outside here. Did I come here with a tail? You should see clear."

The young man put down the gun slowly, and was about to say something, when a muffled groan came from behind the furniture. The young man hurriedly turned his head, "Brother, stop moving, the wound is still bleeding."

Qin Luo was a little anxious when he heard his words, and walked into the room in a few steps, passed over the piles of furniture, and saw Gu Qingyang half lying on the back of the overturned sofa at a glance. His right arm, right leg, and right waist were all wrapped in light-colored cloth strips, which should have been torn from the bed sheet or quilt, and blood was still oozing.

Mo slightly licked the corner of his lips, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

Gu Qingyang gritted his teeth and barely supported his body to start, "Qin Luo, thank you, I think, I want to borrow your car to take us to the suburbs. Whether we can survive in the future depends on our fate."

Qin Luo gave Gu Qingyang a blank look, "With blood all over your body, you will attract a bunch of zombies when you go out. Besides, if you don't treat the wound, even if you take him to the suburbs, you won't be able to go far."

Gu Qingyang's lips trembled, and his voice was dry, "I am only a relative of Ah Shun, no matter what, I can't send him to be locked up with those zombies."

Qin Luo looked up at Gu Shunyang, "Where's your wound, let me see it."

Gu Shunyang glanced at his brother, and Gu Qingyang nodded slightly, before he bent down and rolled up his trousers. There was a wound on his calf, the dark purple blood had coagulated, and the blood vessels around the wound had also turned dark purple, terrifying like a spider web.

Qin Luo squatted down and looked at the wound carefully, stretched out his hand under the shocked eyes of the two, gently pressed the muscles around the wound with his fingers, raised his head and asked Gu Shunyang, "Do you feel it?"

Gu Shunyang hesitated and shook his head, Qin Luo added some strength and asked him, "Do you feel it now?"

Gu Shunyang trembled slightly, frowned, and shook his head, but Qin Luo gave him a blank look.

"You should feel it, and it's been a few days since you said little about your wound."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, Gu Qingyang stared at Qin Luo with fixed eyes, Gu Shunyang said in surprise, "You, how do you know."

Ordinary people infected with the 'zombie' virus spread very quickly, and the wound is numb without pain. Within thirty-six hours, all cells will be infected by the virus, which of course also includes brain cells and cells of various organs. During the infection process, their bodily functions will gradually fail, until they die.

This death is not death in the true sense, but a dormant process between transformations. That is to say, from the surface, they died for a certain period of time and then resurrected again. In view of the fact that the human brain is an extremely complex system, although the virus cells infect the brain cells, it takes a process to completely use them for their own use, and the time required for this process is not short. The zombies were stiff at the beginning, but later became more and more difficult to deal with, and even gained higher intelligence, all because of this reason.

But one thing will not change. When the virus cells shuffle the infected somatic cells, they weaken their pain nerve induction. Zombies who press wounds or people who are about to become zombies after being infected will not feel it. . The only ones who still have normal pain perception are half-corpse people. Although they will also mutate due to infection with the virus, the mutation is not complete. The virus cells encounter stubborn resistance from their own cells, and they are even less able to destroy the neurons and glial cells in their brains. This allowed the half-corpse man to retain the pain perception, and also retained a lot of memories when he belonged to humans.

Seeing the shocked faces of the two, Qin Luo glared at the two brothers angrily, "If you ask others for help, show some sincerity. Although I stay in the villa every day and can't come out, I won't notice it. There are a sudden increase of patrol cars. If I'm not mistaken, your injury should be a gunshot wound, and you are carrying an infected person, so it's hard not to be suspicious."

Gu Qingyang bit her lip and was about to speak, but Gu Shunyang took a step ahead, "As long as you can save my brother, I am willing to go to the army with you to collect the reward."

Gu Qingyang stared and said bitterly, "Ah Shun, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Shunyang sighed dejectedly, "Brother, we can't escape like this. Even if we escape, I will survive. If you die, what's the point of my being alive." He smiled wryly and continued, "It's better to hand me over to those research institutions , It’s not certain what kind of vaccine can be produced.”

Gu Qingyang let out a roar, and the tears couldn't stop falling, "I can't hand you over even if I die, those guys will cut you into pieces."

Gu Shunyang shook his head, "I don't want you to kill people because of me, and I don't want you to die."

Qin Luo couldn't bear to interrupt them, "Even if you are handed over and cut into pieces, those guys can't make any vaccines. It's better to save your life, it should be useful .”

The two of them turned their gazes to him in a daze, and Qin Luo glared at them again very bluntly, "Now you two have finished talking about the worst outcome, even if I really betray you, it's just this ending. But I think With the explosive power of the two desperately fighting back, there should be a chance to kill yourself, so in the end it is nothing more than death. Since you are not afraid of death, you might as well trust me firmly."

Gu Shunyang sighed, they seemed to have no choice.

Gu Qingyang gritted her teeth, "I believe you."

Although Qin Luo looked like a boy in his twenties, he didn't have the impetuosity that his peers should have, nor the hypocrisy and flattery of a dude, nor the cunning eyes of a snob. That's why he called Qin Luo when he was desperate. Intuition told him that this person was trustworthy and capable.
