Human testing site.

- These words came out, and the huge and empty laboratory suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The man two or three meters away couldn't stop struggling, and his movements suddenly became particularly clear and harsh.

Ning Yu's face was expressionless, while Dr. Zheng gasped for breath, with both hands hanging by his side, clenching his fists subconsciously.

"Then what are you doing now?" Sinan looked at Ning Yu and asked slowly, "turn me into a zombie too?"

Ning Yu seemed a little surprised by Sinan's stability, and replied casually: "No, I'm crazy to do this." But after a pause, he added: "But if necessary, I will."

"...What do you want to do?" Sinan asked with a frown.

Ning Yu smiled: "You missed the point. The problem is not what I want to do, but what I have already done."

He got up and walked to the test bench, Sinan's eyes followed him, and Ning Yu opened a device on the table that looked a bit like a rice cooker, and used tweezers to pick out a blood collection tube - Sinan recognized the rice cooker, it was a blood centrifuge .

He lowered his head suddenly, and sure enough, he found a bloody cotton ball fixed with medical tape in the vein of his right arm.

"This is your serum." Ning Yu put the blood collection tube into the device to remove the cap, and said attentively, "I should have collected blood with my left hand, but I heard from Romuel that you are a very outstanding individual combat expert... So I decided to Picking the right hand, extra insurance."

Sinan clenched his right fist, and sure enough, he had the sequelae left by a one-time large-dose blood collection. His fingers were cold and weak and slightly soft.

"Romuel? Then did he tell you that my left and right hands are the same." Sinan mocked, "If it's really safe, you should take 400cc of my limbs in turn."

Ning Yu replied, "If necessary, I will, so don't provoke me."

Sinan scratched his handcuffs and made a rattling sound, but the metal remained motionless.

Ning Yu didn't lift her head: "Don't bother, it's made of fine steel."

"..." Sinan finally gave up struggling with a sense of absurdity: "What are you doing with my serum?"

Ning Yu used outdated methods to manually calculate and take off the cover, while recording something on the paper. To his surprise, he didn't ignore it, but answered the question in an orderly manner: "Romuel came here a few months ago. Here, using the semi-finished antibody in his hand as bait, let us search for your traces along the coast. His inexplicable persistence aroused my curiosity, until your people came here with a group of survivors... "

Ning Yu's calculation speed was fast, and it was not slowed down by his narration: "I asked Dr. Zheng and learned that when you joined the survivor camp for the first time, you once claimed that you were bitten by a zombie, and it started that night. high fever."

"It turned out that it wasn't a zombie because I wasn't infected!"

"No." Ning Yu said, "I suspect that you were indeed infected that time."

Sinan asked suspiciously: "...What do you mean?"

Ning Yu finally stopped calculating, picked up a string of pendants from the test bench, and shook it at Sinan: "Are these your parents?"

- That is the brass necklace that Sinan never leaves.

"I'll pay you back." Ning Yu looked at Sinan's expression and said, "It's just that I saw this photo and found out that maybe you are what I've been looking for... I'm sorry, it's the test target I've always suspected. "

Sinan Xin said, Doubt exists

"I have seen Ling Zun Ling Tang." Ning Yu seemed to see through his question, but did not explain, but changed the subject: "When I was sixteen years old when I went to study for a doctorate in country A, Dr. Zhong Wan and his wife Alyssa Dr. Fehrman is my brother and sister. At that time, we were working on a certain topic related to virus genetics under the same mentor. The main purpose was to invade the gene chain through viruses, promote transformation and improvement, enhance the quality of human genes, and extend the average lifespan."

Sinan was caught off guard when he learned the real names of his parents, and was stunned for a moment.

"For the sake of everyone being Chinese, Dr. Zhong Wan gave me a lot of professional help, but the good times did not last long. A few months later, Dr. Zhong Wan contracted the virus in an experimental accident and died unfortunately. Dr. Fehrman disappeared from the research base with his body and you."

"...You..." Sinan's voice became unstable: "I don't remember these, you can say more, my parents and they..."

He was eager to know what the parents he had never known in his memory were like, and he wanted to know more and more specific details, even if it was a few trivial childhood events.

But Ning Yu didn't show the slightest expression, and answered him with just six words: "No time, no interest."

"After the test accident," Ning Yu replaced the blood collection tube and continued, "The subject was considered to be highly dangerous and confidential, so the military took over the entire research institute and began to search for Dr. Fehrman's whereabouts. The body of Dr. Zhong Wan she carried, as well as a series of mutant behaviors produced by the body, became a target of great interest to the military."

Sinan noticed his words: the mutated behavior produced by the corpse.

Can a dead body behave

"Although you were very young at the time, you should remember that there was always a bloodthirsty, wailing father at home who kept trying to violently attack you, leaving various wounds on your body. This kind of behavior of Dr. Zhong Wan... I'm sorry, I don't want to call that thing Dr. Zhong Wan... After its behavior was monitored by military personnel, it was considered to be a great verification of virus research and a milestone. That is, since that year Since then, the scientific research base has started experiments on living people under the instruction of the military."

Dr. Zheng, who was listening on the side, was already stunned.

Sinan closed his eyes, and countless confused memories flashed through his mind. He opened his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "... Baiying Base?"

"I don't know what it was renamed later," Ning Yu said, "because I quit the research group that year and fled back to China."

Ning Yu took out the test tube with tweezers. Inside was the separated, pale yellow serum.

Sinan glanced at the man whose moaning continued to grow louder and gradually turned into a dull wailing, and then looked at Ning Yu: "After you returned to China, you continued to experiment with living people, causing the virus to break out?"

"Am I sick?" Ning Yu asked impatiently.

Simon: "..."

"To tell you the truth, at that time all capable countries in the world were conducting research in this area, and human beings' pursuit of a 'better self' and a 'longer life' was never-ending... The difference It just depends on whether to insert a virus as a genetic modification method, and whether to use a live human as a test subject. By the way, I am quite sure that our country uses chimpanzees, and I have no doubt that this will be a foreshadowing of the disaster before the disaster.”

Ning Yu walked over to the man who was turning into a zombie, pushed out the air in the syringe, and injected the biochemically synthesized serum into his blood vessels.

"As for me," he said, "it was after the full-blown virus outbreak that I started using living people as test subjects...for example, the one in front of you."

The man's chest heaved violently, and he let out an uncharacteristic scream. Dr. Zheng closed his eyes heavily.

Sinan asked hoarsely, "Is this why Chen Yajing accepted the survivors?"

"Of course not. But I do use opponents and single survivors as test subjects, it is more difficult to detect." Ning Yu pushed out a whole tube of serum and pulled out the needle: "For example, this person, because of stress some time ago Too big and insane, running around madly, and even if he disappears, it is easy to get around."

The tone of his words is not the slightest fierce, on the contrary, it is no different from "add an extra egg to the lunch box" or "the weather is a little cloudy today"-because it is so calm and so natural that it makes a trace of coldness rise from the bone marrow. shudder.

"...You inject him with the virus and let him be infected and then test the serum?" Sinan asked incredulously: "Why don't you use animals, or simply use a simulated immune system?!"

Ning Yu didn't answer him immediately, but picked up the camera and took a few pictures of the man on the operating table, then opened the notebook and started to record it quickly.

The man has been completely infected, but not completely transformed into a zombie. The serum was quickly decomposed and absorbed in his body, locking in the antigens, and starting a war that was invisible to the naked eye, filled with gunpowder smoke and mighty.

"Zombie viruses don't infect animals, you must have discovered it." Ning Yu said without looking up: "No matter how to reduce the dose and toxicity, the only result of zombie viruses entering animals is immediate death; only in humans and chimpanzees. Virus injection can produce mutation effect, and I don’t run a zoo, where can I catch so many chimpanzees?”

"As for the simulated immune system, it's even more ridiculous. I need infected people under very specific conditions, in the transformation process, and the requirements are very high. Do you know how long it took me to build this laboratory? Do you think Can I build a supercomputer with my bare hands to do artificial simulations?"

The man's screams suddenly increased, and his pupils suddenly expanded and closed again!

Ning Yu raised her eyes and looked at Sinan mockingly. After more than ten seconds, Sinan softly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "How many people have you killed?"

Ning Yu said, "Who remembers this?"

"... You are so scientifically motivated, why don't you experiment with yourself first, why don't you give yourself an injection of the virus first?!"

"If necessary, I will." Ning Yu repeated this sentence for the third time, with the same tone and tone compared to the previous two times, which formed a sharp contrast with Sinan's anger: "Now, please lie back. , the experiment has reached a critical stage."

Sinan's eyes were red, and he clenched his teeth, almost forcibly leaning back on the reclining chair.

"Ah... huh... ah!"

The man suddenly struggled with all his strength, and his muscles and bones were almost broken by the restraint belt!

The explosive force at that moment was terrifying. Doctor Zheng took two steps back in a conditioned reflex, but Ning Yu hurried up and flashed his flashlight.

He carefully observed the face in front of him with twisted features and wide-open mouth, not caring at all that the other's teeth almost touched his hand several times. Every minute and every second was as long as a century. After a few minutes, the man's pupils changed significantly, his eyeballs were rapidly congested, and the blue veins in his neck burst out!

Dr. Zheng stammered out a few words: "-heart, heartbeat!"

Ning Yu and Sinan tilted their heads at the same time.

The horizontal line on the instrument suddenly twists and turns, jumps up and down, and begins to pulsate.

Ning Yu released her hand, the flashlight clunked to the ground, and rolled to the bottom of the operating table.

"Ah ah-" The man let out a roar like a beast!

But everyone present could hear the difference. The roar was not the deep mourning of the zombies, but the unconscious venting behavior of humans in a state of insanity. Ning Yu rushed to the test stand and grabbed a needle, but before she had time to run back, she heard the man make a sound intermittently: "Save, save, save..."

"—He spoke," Dr. Zheng coughed and panted, unable to tell whether it was extreme excitement, excitement or fear: "He spoke!!"

It was just a matter of seconds.

The man grabbed the sheet tightly and bowed upwards, like a balloon that had been blown to its limit, and burst in the next moment.

He threw himself back onto the operating table, blood quickly overflowing from his nose, nose, and ears, and he was silent in an instant.

The curve of the instrument flattened out again, and a monotonous beep sounded, enveloped the entire silent hall.

Ning Yu gasped, her whole body suddenly relaxed, and she took a few steps back in despair.

"He, he's dead," Dr. Zheng trembled with his hands, finished the examination, and said, "Zombieization... Zombieization signs have disappeared, that serum, serum, serum vaccine actually works..."

Although it was only for a short time, the serum really had an effect—

The combined effect of the virus and the serum killed the life, but the serum successfully prevented the virus from turning this body into a zombie!

Ning Yu raised her palm and covered her face tightly.

"...Impossible," Sinan murmured blankly, "Impossible, how could I..."

Ning Yu wiped her face heavily and said, "It's just as I expected."

Both Sinan and Dr. Zheng stared at him, but Ning Yu didn't say anything more. She turned back to the test bench and quickly turned on the centrifuge. Only then did Sinan realize that there was actually a row of blood collection tubes on the test tube rack.

Ning Yu's hands were too ruthless, and it seemed that he had drawn at least 800cc of whole blood while he was in a coma.

Sinan was underweight, and the total blood volume in his body was not high. No wonder Dr. Zheng thought Ning Yu was going to kill him directly when he was watching from the sidelines.

"I need someone," Ning Yu said suddenly in a deep voice.

At first Sinan didn't realize what he was talking about, but in an instant, he reacted.

"I want to rebalance the virus." Ning Yu repeated in a low voice, looking at Sinan who was handcuffed in the couch, and said, "I need a living person."

The two looked at each other for a moment, the gold-rimmed lenses blocked Ning Yu's eyes, and Sinan's heart slowly felt a coldness that he had never felt before.

Suddenly a trembling voice broke the silence: "...here...here is..."

The two looked at the same time, and saw Doctor Zheng staggering forward, blocking Sinan with his body, and then took out a pistol that had been hidden for a long time from his arms and pointed at Ning Yu: "Here is... a living person," He choked and said, the muzzle of the gun kept shaking, but the other hand pointed steadily at himself: "I can test it for you."
