Outside the door, Lin Fubiao and Pan Yaoting looked at the debris covered with gasoline, the fire burning on the gate of Shi Gongtai's house, and the thick smoke. : "If you don't let us live well, you don't want to live anymore!"
After being driven to the next door, they looked at the meager food and thought hard about what to do.
And Lin Fubiao's mother's wound only stopped the bleeding, but there was no doctor to treat or perform surgery. He developed a high fever at night, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. It happened that a small half barrel of gasoline was found in that family's house, so they planned to burn them to death while Hao Jian and others were still asleep before dawn.
However, they never thought that Hao Jian and the others would wake up so early because of the biological clock. They had already packed a lot of things, but the fire spread so quickly that it burned to the wooden door of the house.
The fire extinguishers were all outside the house. Peng Mao went to the kitchen to fetch water to put out the fire, but as soon as he approached, the thick smoke almost made him unable to breathe.
They soaked all their clothes in water and tied them to their faces, but even so, the only exit was occupied by fire, what could they do
At this time, Hao Jian thought of the "Spider-Man" safety suit for the level reward. She quickly ran to the balcony. It happened that Shi Gongzhui's house was on a high floor, and there was no anti-theft net. Below the balcony was the entrance and exit of the building. There was just a ceiling on it. Climb up and besiege them in a short time.
After a little thought, she took out her safety suit. This safety work rope is based on the standard of high-rise buildings, so it is more than enough for a place as high as the 16th floor.
"What is this?" Lian Runing came over during the firefighting gap.
Hao Jian said, "The safety suit for working at heights was dug out from Shi Gongzhui's house."
The rest also came over: "Can we escape from the balcony?!"
Shi Gongzhui was a little puzzled: "When did I buy these things... I don't care, anyway, I bought so many messy things, and it's not necessarily what I really bought."
At such a juncture, running for their lives is the most important thing. If they don't have these things, they are afraid they will be smoked to death.
After Hao Jian installed the safety device, he looked around at everyone, then tied the safety belt to Lian Runing's body, then fastened the main safety rope and auxiliary rope, and said to her, "You go down first."
Lian Runing's eyes flashed a trace of panic, she grabbed Hao Jian's hand, and she didn't know what to say in her heart.
"Stop the ink, go!" Shi Gongzhui hung his backpack in front of her, "You take this part of the equipment down first!"
Lian Ru Ning no longer hesitated, climbed over the railing, stepped on the wall, and went downstairs slowly.
Except for Shi Gongwei's house, other people have installed anti-theft nets, and some of them have turned into zombies and are trapped in the house. When Lian Ruling passed by, they grabbed the anti-theft net to attack her.
Lian Runing was almost caught by her leg, but she had already fastened her trousers, and now the zombies only caught her trousers. She grabbed the machete and chopped off the arms of the zombies, but then she was more cautious, and every time she encountered the balcony, she would speed up the descent.
After she landed safely, she released the ropes on her body, let Hao Jian and the others drag them up, and then arranged for someone to come down.
The second one was Xin Ting, then Shi Gongzhui, Peng Mao, and finally Hao Jian.
By the time Peng Mao arrived, the fire in the house was already burning badly, so when Lian Runing saw that Hao Jian had not come down, she could not wait to go up to find her again.
When the thick smoke came out from the balcony, Hao Jian finally came down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you so late?" Lian Runing was so anxious that she was about to cry. Fire is not a trivial matter, and people who have never encountered a fire do not understand how fast the fire can spread. If they hesitated for a few more minutes, they might not be able to get down in the end.
"Suddenly I remembered that I still have something to take." After Hao Jian got up, her clean face was blackened, and only her nose and mouth were white, which was very funny. However, from this point of view, she was very close to the god of death.
"What important thing to take?"
Hao Jian took out an electric drill and said, "This."
Seeing that the zombies below are all surrounded, as long as they dare to go down, there must be only one way to die.
And with this electric drill, the balcony security net of this family on the fourth floor can be dismantled, and then a group of people walks from here to the corridor. Then the extra safety rope was pulled to the window of the corridor, and a few people grabbed the safety rope and slowly descended to the first floor, which is the parking lot behind the community.
After meeting downstairs, everyone looked at the things on their bodies. Except for the food in each person's backpack, they didn't take much, but the weapons and clothing were still there.
After escaping another disaster, Peng Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted Gongzhui Shi: "Okay, even these supplies are prepared. If it weren't for you, we would have died on it!"
Shi Gongwei really couldn't remember that he had bought these things, but he didn't bother to struggle any more, and said, "I don't know if there are people living on other floors."
Regarding the source of the fire, they did not think it was caused by the aging of the circuit. After all, they also smelled the smell of gasoline, which was clearly someone deliberately set the fire. And who hates them so much, you don't need to think about it to know that there is only Lin Fubiao and his party.
Shi Gongzhui also thought of it, he said nothing, "Let's go!"
There was a movement in the community soon, because the fire was on the 16th floor. However, this building has 23 floors, and some people lived on it. They also fled one after another, and then met a lot of zombies in the corridor on the 16th floor.
And the people downstairs are also afraid of the fire spreading. After all, there is no fire truck to put out the fire. They also bring their things and prepare to escape. Some people who are unwilling to leave grab the fire extinguisher to put out the fire...
Shi Gongzhui picked up a motorcycle on the side of the road, and then said to Hao Jian and others, "You can send a signal to the guards to come, I'm leaving."
Hao Jian nodded, she knew that Shi Gongzhui didn't want to go with the guards, because the guards would have to search, and then his equipment would be exposed. He had already contacted the upline last night, and the upline had given him an address, as long as he could get there, he would be safe.
The address was not far from here, but out of consideration for not wanting to implicate others, he chose to go alone.
Before leaving, he gave Hao Jian a USB flash drive: "Service fee."
Hao Jian threw the USB flash drive into the system package. First, she felt that this thing was very important, and it was easy to lose it when she put it on her body. Second, she also wanted to try this package.
After Shi Gongzhui left, Hao Jian fired the flare gun, and then quickly waited for the guards who came out to patrol and clean up the zombies nearby. This group of escorts drove off-road vehicles and pickups. The pickups opened the way, and the off-road vehicles were behind. After all, the pickups had machine-guns on them, and they looked the same as in wartime.
After confirming Hao Jian's identity, they were taken back to the city government building in Xiang City, a place they didn't expect.
The city government building was built relatively early, but it has been renovated over the years. Not only is it stylish, but more importantly, its location is good:
There is a central square in front of the government building, and there are dozens of acres of large and neatly repaired flower beds to the left and right. In addition to the road on the ground, there are two viaducts that pass straight through.
Officials erected a power grid under the viaduct, which was then used as a watchtower, as well as a ranged attack on approaching zombies.
From the defense to the vehicles and personnel entering and leaving, it can be seen that the government building is used as the work command of the city to be stationed.
There is no function for receiving ordinary survivors, so Hao Jian and others did not come here as survivors. Yesterday, the commander of Longwan Island had contacted them. They knew that Hao Jian and others had important information, so they brought them here.
It is not easy to enter the government building. They have to be checked in the building on the left side of the central square.
This former exhibition hall has now been transformed into a monitoring point, an inspection station, and an isolation place. Each of them must first undergo an inspection to confirm that there are no dangerous objects, interference signals, bugs, etc., before they go to check whether they are infected with zombies. Virus.
There is no need to be locked up and observed for 48 hours. They took half a tube of blood from each person and sent them to a room. After waiting for nearly two hours, they were told that they were not infected and could enter the government building. .
Hao Jian asked the system: "Now, a method has been developed to confirm that there is no zombie virus? Doesn't it mean that the zombie virus cannot be spread once it leaves the human body and is exposed to the air? In this case, the blood can be extracted from the blood. Check it out?"
"Although experts have tried to use common features in arthropods for research and detection of Q virus, unfortunately, whether it is segmentation phenomenon, secondary body cavity, setae and wart feet, closed-tube circulatory system, metanephric cast excretory system or cable glands Nothing has been found in the nervous system. So the only method that can be used at the moment is to send your blood to the arthropods and see if they avoid or die. This process usually takes 1 to 2 hours.”
"..." is really simple and rude!
Although Hao Jian is a little disappointed that scientists haven't figured out what the Q virus is, after all, the existence of many viruses is very troublesome, such as Ebola virus.
In 2004, some domestic researchers began to develop a vaccine for Ebola virus, but because the pathogen of Ebola virus could not be obtained, it took eight years to study. Then, when the Ebola epidemic broke out in 2014, a vaccine was developed, and after clinical trials, the vaccine was finally confirmed to be effective.
It took ten years before and after, and the road of research is far and arduous.
Ebola virus is still like this, let alone Q virus.

The person who received Hao Jian and others was a secretary. She introduced herself as the secretary of the director of the Security Department of the Command Center of the Violent Organization. Her name was Wang Zishao.
Wang Zishao was very young, only in his thirties. She has neat and neat short ear-length hair, and her uniform looks very heroic because of her straight waist, but she is very peaceful and decent when dealing with others, making people feel no bureaucratic atmosphere.
She took Hao Jian and others to a conference room on the second floor, and there was no one else in it.
Wang Zishao said: "You sit down for a while, and I will send someone to bring tea."
There are sofas, coffee tables, etc. Peng Mao collapsed on the sofa carelessly after Wang Zishao went out, and then shouted, "I haven't lied down so comfortably in a long time. Sure enough, this place can give me a sense of security."
The four of them knew that there must be surveillance and bugs here, but they were already used to this kind of life, and they were not so restrained.
"You guys are going back to Yang City, so find a chance to ask if there is a way to go to sea." Hao Jian said.
You must know that this is the southern region, one of the five major regions. The official focus is on developing maritime power. If Xin Ting and Peng Mao want to go to sea, they must obtain official approval. Since they are all here, it is best to ask.
After a few people talked for a while, Wang Zishao came in with tea, and Hao Jian said in surprise, "I didn't expect there was still tea to drink!"
Wang Zishao said with a smile: "It's not some expensive tea, it's all brought by people who used to go to work."
Several people were drinking tea while answering Wang Zishao's question. She was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable, so she explained it: "Because you are also aware of the current situation, we need to investigate everyone who comes here. Clear your identity, and then make corresponding arrangements, I hope you understand."
They naturally understood. After she finished her question, Hao Jian remembered something and asked, "Do you have a member of the escort team here named Huang Sheng? Although your organization is different, you still have the same responsibility for safety. To know who he is."
"If it's the escort team, I don't remember the name of every member very well, but you can tell me his information, the name and number of the unit he belongs to, and I can help you check it."
Hao Jian thanked him, and Wang Zishao went out again.
At noon, Hao Jian was received by the director of the security department. Hao Jian told him about what Hu Dan asked her to tell him, and also said some other information.
Because I got some useful information from Hao Jian, the director finally said, "Would you like to become an official member of the 'special response team'?"
Hao Jian didn't reply immediately, and the director said, "Joining us sometimes requires you to perform some more dangerous tasks, but correspondingly, you can also gain some rights."
Hao Jian said, "I'm just an ordinary person."
"We already have people who are not ordinary. The escort team, the intelligence department, the technology department, the public security prevention and control department, the criminal investigation team, the patrol team... Everyone here is ordinary but not ordinary. But the 'special response team' Most of the personnel were not selected from these people, for reasons you know."
Hao Jian said, "I can't decide this alone."
The director said, "As far as I know, you seem to be alone..." She almost didn't say she was an orphan.
Hao Jian thought of Lian Runing, his eyes and expression became gentle: "Not anymore."
