However, according to Professor Qiao's theory, he should have appeared directly in front of Liang Xian with the deer, just like he would teleport to the tombstone every time. But now there is no Liang Xian in front of him, but a group of zombies instead.
Could it be that Liang Xian really turned into a zombie? Tan Yan felt a little panic in his heart. He was not afraid of the zombie tide, he was only worried about Liang Xian.
When the zombies saw someone in front of them, they rushed over regardless of everything. Among them were level two and even level three zombies. They were the fastest and rushed in front of Tan Yan in less than a few seconds.
Tan Yan was not in a hurry. He jumped up lightly while holding the deer, stepped directly on the head of the third-level zombie, and before it stretched out its claws to grab him, he jumped onto the head of the second-level zombie in front.
As if playing hopscotch, Tan Yan moved easily on the zombies' heads. The surrounding ionizing radiation was controlled by Tan Yan, generating a strong aura around him. The third-level zombies' nails, which were sharp enough to cut through steel, broke just by touching this "aura".
"Liang Xian!" Tan Yan was searching with difficulty among the zombies, shouting as he searched, not caring at all that it would attract zombies.
But Liang Xian is nowhere to be seen, so why was he teleported here
The study these days finally gave Tan Yan some ideas about quantum entanglement. He thought hard that since Xiaolu was quantum entangled with Liang Xian's consciousness, then even if Liang Xian himself was not there at the place he was teleported to, his "consciousness" must be there.
That is to say, Liang Xian's consciousness appeared among the zombies.
Guessing this, Tan Yan felt a chill in his heart. He still remembered that zombies above level 4 could control the zombie group with their own consciousness, and the level 5 zombie king could even control human thinking. He was teleported here. Could it be that Liang Xian controlled the "zombies" and Xiaolu was attracted by the "consciousness" that led to the two of them arriving here
"Can you feel where Liang Xian is now?" Tan Yan asked Xiaolu.
The little deer shook his head, with a look of innocence in his big watery eyes.
Tan Yan looked at his arm and teleported to the present. One minute later, he returned to the shopping mall in City B from the Ping County Tombstone. Even if he ran, it would take at least half an hour.
Considering that this is a round trip and the travel time, the safe time is one and a half hours.
He only had three and a half hours to look for Liang Xian.
If the deer has no feeling, then his only clue now is this group of zombies.
As long as he is here, the zombies will temporarily forget what they are going to do and concentrate on attacking him.
Then he couldn't let the zombies discover that he was human.
Tan Yan felt the ionizing radiation around him, and just like when he made the human skin mask, he controlled these particles to gather around himself and the deer little by little, condensing into a transparent film.
As soon as the membrane covered their bodies, the zombies immediately stopped attacking. They scratched around Tan Yan in a daze, and when they couldn't find a target to attack, they slowly walked in another direction.
The zombies were moving too slowly. The second and third level zombies were probably trying hard to resist this consciousness, so they moved more slowly, almost the same speed as ordinary zombies. Tan Yan followed the zombies at a snail's pace, feeling secretly anxious.
Time was running out and he couldn't continue like this.
He had to think, think quickly, and not think about anything like he had done in the past. He just had to concentrate on finding the teleportation point and going home. Now he had to think on his own and come up with a way to find Liang Xian.
It was as if his rusty brain was trying hard to work. Fortunately, Tan Yan had developed his brain a little in order to study these days, and he finally had some thinking ability.
Ordinary zombies are beings that have no ability to think and only focus on rushing towards their targets. If they want to go somewhere, what route will they choose? Will they choose to walk on the main road considering that there are rivers, villages and valleys along the way
No.
So the direction they are moving in must be a straight line, and if Liang Xian is recruiting zombies, he will definitely encounter new zombies joining the team on the way, and he doesn't need to follow just one.
In order to verify his guess, Tan Yan grabbed a zombie and turned its body 180 degrees. The zombie was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and continued to move forward.
He tried a few more, and these zombies all tried hard to move in one direction without any exception.
Here it is!
As long as you follow this direction, you will encounter other zombies on the road to show the way. The place where the zombies gradually gather is very likely to be where Liang Xian is!
Thinking of this, Tan Yan no longer followed the zombie group slowly, but ran wildly on the ground with the deer.
The little deer was the only one in the superpower team that could keep up with Tan Yan. It ran happily beside Tan Yan, and kept calling "yo yo", as if urging Tan Yan to ride on its back and run with him.
Tan Yan just touched the fawn's head. How could he bear to ride a fawn that hadn't even grown horns
"When you grow up and run faster than me, I will ride you. Don't be impatient now. Take care of your body and grow well. When you become the healthiest big deer, I will definitely rely on you." Tan Yan promised the little deer.
"Yo Yo~" the little deer called happily, expressing its promise to Tan Yan.
I will grow up to be your strength, just like the person who instilled this idea in me.
A man and a deer ran wildly on the road, never changing direction. When they came across a river, they stepped on the river water, and when they came across a village, they crossed it.
They encountered many zombies along the way, and they were also moving in their direction, which further strengthened Tan Yan's confidence.
After running for about an hour, when the watch showed 21:20, the deer suddenly stopped.
This is a small village. There are many zombies surrounding it, but no zombie will enter the village.
There were even some zombies that slowly walked out of the village and stood blankly at the entrance of the village, not moving.
Here it is!
Tan Yan took the deer into the village, looking for people from house to house.
He smelled a strange smell, very stinky and familiar. This smell was...
Biogas! Tan Yan remembered that when he was a policeman, he had smelled this smell in some places where gas exploded.
It is true that many villages use organic matter such as straw and sewage to produce biogas. The produced biogas will be used for village heating and natural gas. The organic matter in the biogas digester will become the best organic fertilizer after fermentation. Producing biogas in the biogas digester is a two-pronged approach.
However, there will not be such a strong smell of methane in the village. Generally, the sealing of methane digesters is very good. After all, it is a flammable gas, and safety measures must be taken.
Why do zombies gather near a village that produces biogas
As Tan Yan looked along the way, he saw that the sealing conditions of many biogas digesters were very poor, and each biogas digester had huge pipes. After looking at several of them in succession, he found that these pipes all led to one place.
Tan Yan and Xiaolu walked along the pipeline, and the end of the pipeline turned out to be a granary near the village.
This village was obviously a grain-producing village, and the granary was very large. Tan Yan opened the door of a granary. The granary was well sealed, and it was full of the smell of methane, which would ignite immediately if there was even the slightest open flame.
Every granary is like this, the sealing is very good, but the pipes are a bit rough, allowing some methane to overflow.
For example, the pipes were made under very harsh conditions, or even spliced together from other places, which is why they leak methane.
A guess gradually emerged in Tan Yan's mind. He searched one channel after another, and finally saw a person lying in front of the door of the largest granary.
The man was wearing the clothes of an ordinary granary worker, and a large cotton hat for winter on his head. The hat was pulled low, and only his chin could be seen. His left hand was resting on the pipe wall, leaning against the granary door, and he seemed to be asleep.
Tan Yan walked over slowly, squatted in front of the man, and opened his hat. It was Liang Xian.
Liang Xian's face looked normal, without the bluish-white color unique to zombies. He looked as normal as Director Li that day. It was unclear whether he was a human or a level five zombie.
But from the layout of these pipes and biogas, as well as the unusual movements of the zombies, Tan Yan could roughly guess what these devices were for.
He walked in a straight line all the way without encountering any human base. If the final destination of this zombie wave was here, no one would be hurt.
Even if Liang Xian really turned into a level five zombie, he didn't think of hurting anyone. Instead, he was thinking about how to get rid of the zombies.
The little deer yo-yoed twice, then came forward and nudged Liang Xian, but he didn't move and continued to sleep as if dead.
Tan Yan felt inexplicably nervous, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Such an outstanding young man, smart and kind, sincere in emotion, brave in facing himself and his feelings, frank and sincere. Even if he was left in a world that did not belong to him, he still abided by his duties and contributed all his strength to the country and the people.
If such a person really died, it would be a huge loss to the country and the people.
Tan Yan rested his head on Liang Xian's chest with trembling hands. When he was fighting with Director Li before, he found that although the level 5 zombies looked no different from humans, they had no heartbeat. Zombies were actually dead. Even if they regained consciousness, their way of thinking was different from before and they were no longer human.
With Tan Yan's hearing, he didn't need to put it close to his chest to hear it. But he felt a little tinnitus now, and didn't want to believe his hearing. As long as he was close to the heart, as long as there was a heartbeat, at least he could still feel the vibration.
He leaned in quietly, feeling nothing.
"Yo Yo~" The little deer kept nudging Liang Xian's head with its mouth and licking his face with its tongue, as if trying to lick him awake.
Even a clever little deer doesn't understand what it feels like to die.
Tan Yan listened for a full minute, but still got nothing. He leaned against Liang Xian's chest, his face slightly wet.
Even a tough guy like Tan Yan wouldn't cry if he was asked to kill Liang Xian himself. But after seeing Liang Xian's arrangement and seeing him sleeping against the door of the granary, Tan Yan couldn't help crying.
Even if he becomes a zombie, he cannot forget his mission. Can such a zombie be said to be not a soldier? Can his human identity be denied
Tan Yan hugged Liang Xian and said softly, "Liang Xian, I'm here to take you home."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gentle pulse sound in his ear, and Liang Xian's chest trembled slightly.
Tan Yan quickly placed his hand under Liang Xian's nose. There was still no breathing, but there was a heartbeat. Although it was very weak and slow, and the intervals between beats were long, it was real.
Little by little, beating weakly.
"Liang Xian, are you a human now? Or a zombie? Can you hear me?" Tan Yan asked softly in Liang Xian's ear.
Liang Xian didn't move.
Tan Yan took out the note from his arms. Qiao Zhixue, who had very low emotional intelligence, wanted to archive the note and keep it as data of the first spatial transmission in the history of quantum transmission. This note would be recorded in history in the future, as it represented the arrival of an era.
But Tan Yan disagreed. He said that this was Liang Xian's note, and whether to make it public was up to Liang Xian himself.
Tan Yan held the note and whispered in Liang Xian's ear: "I received your birthday present."
Liang Xian's eyelashes trembled very slightly, and the sharp-eyed Tan Yan immediately caught the movement.
With his keen eyesight, he would definitely not be wrong. Liang Xian responded to his words, especially to the note.
"As for the response, I've already told Xiaolu once. But Xiaolu can't pass on the message like you can, so I need to tell you again." Tan Yan said in a calm voice.
Liang Xian moved his fingers as he touched the pipe wall.
Tan Yan was relieved to see that his movements had stopped. He looked at his left hand and found it was normal with no bite marks, so the injured part was his right hand.
Liang Xian's right hand was in the pocket of his work clothes. Tan Yan wanted to see his wound, so he pulled his right hand out of the pocket.
When he had just pulled out half of his hand, Tan Yan paused.
Liang Xian was wearing a leather glove on his right hand, which looked a little empty.
Tan Yan pulled back Liang Xian's sleeves and found a bite mark on his right arm. The mark was very shallow and the teeth were very small. It was a bite mark from a child. Although the mark was very light, it still broke the skin and caused a little bleeding.
The blood has almost dried up from the wound now, but the scar is still there.
Tan Yan also took out gloves and put them on, trying not to touch the wound as much as possible.
He looked at the glove on Liang Xian's right hand and told himself that his previous thought must be an illusion. Maybe it was just worn crookedly and the fingers were curled up. It must not be...
Tan Yan slowly took off his gloves and looked at his fingers one by one, but it was not an illusion.
The index finger, middle finger and ring finger of Liang Xian's right hand were already broken off, cut off by a sharp weapon. Based on Tan Yan's many years of criminal investigation experience, the cuts on the fingers were very smooth, and the person who did it did not hesitate at all, moving from left to right...
If someone else had done the incision, that person would have had to have hugged Liang Xian from behind to cause such a wound. And generally, incisions made by others would have applied force from the opposite side or from the side, which would not have caused such an incision.
The only possibility is that the three fingers were cut by Liang Xian himself.
Tan Yan touched Liang Xian's waist, where there was a military dagger hanging. It was prepared by Minister Yu and others before they went out.
Liang Xian used this knife to cut off three of his fingers one by one.
Tan Yan looked at the remaining two fingers. Unlike the palm and arm, these two fingers were bluish-black, very similar to the skin color of the zombies, but the color did not spread to the palm. The thumb was slightly lighter in color, and the little finger looked very serious.
Tan Yan thought that he probably guessed how Liang Xian had suppressed his corpse poison over the past month.
If we imagine the corpse poison as a virus or energy, then Liang Xian somehow controls all the toxins at the extremities of the limbs. Once he can't control it, he will decisively cut off the extremities and use this method to suppress the spread of the corpse poison.
Decisive and ruthless.
Just like Liang Xian who was determined to awaken his superpowers, he could risk his life and put himself on the verge of death to awaken his superpowers; he could also suppress his zombie transformation through self-mutilation.
A smart and vicious person will make people be on guard. But even if this person hurts himself, he is unwilling to become a monster who loses his mind. When he can't save himself, he still wants to help the survivors in other worlds.
"Losing you is a huge loss to the country." Tan Yan took off his gloves and stroked Liang Xian's face, feeling so heartbroken that he could hardly control himself.
"It's my loss, too."
Even though he is old and cannot keep up with the young people's ideas today, either emotionally or mentally, he is still willing to respond to the feelings of such a young person.
Tan Yan removed the protective film on his body, held Liang Xian's face, and gently touched his cracked lips with his own lips.
This dragonfly-skimming-the-water movement is the limit of what the introverted Tan Yan can do.
After being kissed lightly, Liang Xian's eyelashes trembled violently, and he opened his eyes accompanied by an increasingly strong heartbeat.
The author has something to say: I think that seeing such a situation, even someone as hard-hearted as Lao Tan would want to express his heartache.
Even if it has nothing to do with love, it is a commitment.
