The door clattered loudly, Guo Weixiang looked up from the head of the bed, and saw Yan Hao rushing in, his face could be described as blue and white, and he asked, "Where's Chuncao Dading?"
"I went on patrol with someone." Guo Weixiang said inexplicably, "What?"
Yan Hao stared straight at him, his eyes were a little creepy, and after a long breath he choked out a sentence from his teeth: "...I lost Sinan."
"Oh, is that so." Guo Weixiang turned the page of the comic book, and said with a lack of interest: "Didn't you throw Sinan to Brother Rong earlier, let this first love that didn't end well go with the wind, vice-captain. Brother Rong It took thirty years of burning incense in my life to catch such a blind mouse as Sinan, but from the perspective of your face, there are still many opportunities for you..."
Yan Hao took away the comic book: "Follow me."
"Hey, what are you doing! Give it back to me! The latest words I finally borrowed from someone!"
Yan Hao ignored Guo Weixiang, who was mad, and blew into the back room like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed a miniature submachine gun and two tactical backpacks, and threw one of them in front of Guo Weixiang: "The captain told me not to leave Sinan alone. , but I didn't watch, he disappeared."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Guo Weixiang opened his mouth in disbelief, and Yan Hao said hoarsely, "He was taken away by the people from this base."
"...Team Flower," Guo Weixiang said seriously, "Brother Rong will kill you."
·
"his..."
The dizziness caused by the anesthetic still lingered in his mind, Zhou Rong opened his eyes and turned around in an instant.
"Give him water," a male voice said gruffly.
Cold water was forcibly poured into his mouth, but the reaction of the trained special forces was different from that of ordinary people. Zhou Rong didn't swallow subconsciously but spit it out. He suddenly coughed and woke up.
The carriage kept shaking as it drove, the sky was dark outside the window, and the mountain road quickly receded.
Wan Biao sat across from him, pointing a gun at Zhou Rong's head, and beside him was a big, three-thick subordinate staring at him.
Zhou Rong closed his eyes hard, his eyes gradually adjusting to the dim sky, "... What time is it?"
"Five o'clock." Wan Biao said coldly, "You sent more than 20 of my subordinates to the emergency room, don't move, or I will really crash you."
"Where are you taking me?"
"Get on board."
"Where are my team members?"
"The girl and the country boy and I went out to patrol the base. I'll have the little white face and the second generation of officials sent to me later. Don't worry, you can't miss any of them, you can all get on the boat."
Zhou Rong rubbed his eyebrows hard, indifferent to the muzzle of the gun that was just a short distance away, and asked, "Where's my wife?"
"Your wife?" Wan Biao grabbed Zhou Rong's collar and seemed to find it ridiculous: "I don't understand, all of you are in our hands, and we have done our best to send you delicious food and drink to the sea, and you are still here with us. Are you going to make it big?"
Zhou Rong said lazily: "Speak well, don't move your feet."
Zhou Rong's appearance is too oily and not like a special forces soldier, and even the recruits who have just joined the army are more serious than him. Wan Biao's last gratitude for Zhou Rong's busy guarding the city late that night disappeared completely. He just wanted to punch him and take a few deep breaths before barely suppressing the thought.
"That's called Sinan," Wan Biao pointed at Zhou Rong's forehead with a gun, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care if he is your wife, your parents, or your ancestor. Dr. Ning said that there may be antibodies in his serum, and he is For all mankind, he should stay and do experiments, do you understand?!"
Zhou Rong thought for a moment and said solemnly, "You are right."
Wan Biao: "..."
"I marked him, and he is indeed my wife. I was raised by the people's tax-paying government. He is the people. It's okay to say that he is my parents. As for the ancestor, the whole team knows that he is the young ancestor of our family. , so you are indeed quite right..."
Wan Biao couldn't bear it any longer, and smashed Zhou Rong backwards with a backhand butt!
Blood slowly flowed down from Zhou Rong's forehead, and the subordinate was stunned, and Wan Biao couldn't help gasping in anger.
"Haha..." Zhou Rong didn't seem to feel the pain at all, so he rubbed the blood with his hand, stretched out his tongue and licked it, with an undisguised smirk at the corner of his mouth: "Why can't you joke like this, buddy?"
Wan Biao's sentence "Who the hell is joking with you" was smothered in his throat, and Zhou Rong's face suddenly changed, and the dangling smile disappeared without a trace: "-Dr. Ning Yu said that Sinan's serum may contain Antibodies, did Romuel tell you at your base?"
"… do not know!"
"Eighty percent."
Zhou Rong was lying on his back in the back seat, a trace of blood soaked his temples, making his handsome features even more sinister. But he didn't seem to notice, and muttered thoughtfully: "So Romuel traveled thousands of miles to China to find him, because he knew that Sinan was the key to survival in the end times... But if Sinan really has antibodies, why did Romuel need to electrocute him for torture? What about him? Why don't you just tie it back and draw blood? Logically it doesn't make sense."
Wan Biao didn't understand what he was saying, but subconsciously became nervous: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Rong ignored him:
"Unless Sinan knows a secret that is more precious and crucial than antibodies, let Romuel know the answer even at the cost of torture... But it's impossible, what is more important than antibodies? Unless Sinan has no antibodies at all, or his antibodies It's of no use to ordinary people."
Wan Biao's eyes widened: "What... what did you say? Impossible, Dr. Ning asked Dr. Zheng, that Sinan was bitten by a zombie but not infected, he must have antibodies!"
Zhou Rong rolled his eyes and seemed impatient: "So what?"
"What's the matter, then he should stay and do experiments! People all over the world are waiting for the vaccine to be developed..."
"Should?" Zhou Rong asked coldly.
Wan Biao choked.
"No one in this world owes anyone, and nothing deserves it. If you really want to say yes, even if Sinan's serum can really save the world, you have to explain the situation to him and get permission before you do that bloody experiment. The fuck is the real 'should'!"
Zhou Rong suddenly stood up and roared, Wan Biao shrank back subconsciously, and when he reacted, he immediately became angry: "You, what are you doing?! What do you know, what if he doesn't agree? What if he is greedy for life and fear of death?! People don't know anything at all..."
Zhou Rong was extremely arrogant, and pointed at the black muzzle in front of him with his index finger: "I'll tell you what kind of person Sinan is. He took the risk of saving us in a situation where he never knew his life, and he helped the masses with us, and died countless times for protection. He risked his life for others, and did not flinch in the face of being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies... He is much braver than you cowards who huddled in the surviving base!"
"If he thinks his serum can produce a vaccine, he will draw the last drop of blood for you!" Zhou Rong's roar was deafening, the man next to him dared not move, and Wan Biao was speechless with his lips trembling. Come here, I can only stare at Zhou Rong blankly: "—but you tied him! Hypocrisy! Villain! Generosity, mother of saints! You are still talking to me about whether it should be or not, fuck you. !"
Boom!
The body shook violently, as if it had hit something, and the driver slammed on the brakes.
Everyone swayed under the influence of inertia, and looked back at the car at the same time. Wan Biao's scolding was abruptly blocked back, only to hear the driver's trembling voice coming from the front: "Wan, Wan, it doesn't seem right..."
In order to save power, unless the visual conditions are very poor, the lights are not turned on when driving at the base on this familiar mountain road. Everyone was silent for a while, only to hear the cold wind whimpering in the wilderness outside the car window, as if the mournful mourning of a wronged soul was quickly swept away from a distance.
-boom!
A rotten hand slapped the side window hard!
Bang bang bang sounded one after another, the driver immediately turned on the high beam, and everyone was stunned in an instant.
As far as I could see, dozens of zombies staggered from the mountain road and surrounded the car. In the wilderness not far away, more zombies are rushing in densely, and they soon gathered into a spectacular crowd of living dead.
"Brother Wan," the driver immediately burst into tears: "It's over, it's over..."
Wan Biao blurted out: "Quickly back up! Quickly!"
The driver was in a hurry to reverse the car, but in a panic, he changed the wrong gear and almost hit the guardrail. Just at this juncture, I could only hear the smashing sound of the window, and several dry hands reached into the carriage at the same time!
"Ah-"
The driver and his subordinates collapsed and screamed at the same time, and Wan Biao was caught off guard by the zombies. On the verge of death, Zhou Rong pounced on him and snatched his gun. A single shot hit the zombie that caught him, and roared, "Don't shout! Shut up!"
Wan Biao brushed past death, and his mind went blank for a moment.
I saw Zhou Rong draw a dagger backhand, cut off the arms of the zombies that were scratching through the window, grabbed the driver who was about to urinate, pushed it to the co-pilot, and squeezed into the driver's seat. The others did not react in great fear. Zhou Rong had already shifted gears, reversed the car, and knocked over two or three zombies with the screeching sound of the tires, followed by a neat three-point U-turn.
bang!
With a few crackling sounds of bone cracking, Zhou Rong pushed the zombie who was slamming into the door on the side onto the highway guardrail, squeezed the corpse into shape, and then stepped on the accelerator to the end!
A steady stream of zombie cries came in, but the jeep was at full speed and flew out!
The jeep roared all the way, leaving the zombies that kept coming up from all directions far behind the car. However, under the light of the high beams, in the wilderness farther away, countless zombies are gathering into an army and trekking away in the direction of the base.
The driver stammered and asked: "How... how is it possible, where did it come from, how could this be..."
Wan Biao was actually terrified, but he was still a bit brave, biting the tip of his tongue suddenly, forcing himself to calm down: "Don't panic, be afraid! As long as we hurry back to the base to report the news, the base will be defended. live!"
"But, this battle is bigger, much bigger than the previous two days..."
"Shut up!" Wan Biao said angrily, "I've defended it two days ago, so don't be afraid now! Besides, I'll beat your ass out!"
The driver's face was blue and white with fright, and his teeth were rattling. The subordinates were trembling visibly on the side, and at this time, they suddenly said, "We, we shouldn't go back."
Wan Biao scolded: "What nonsense?!"
"We shouldn't go back!" The men collapsed: "There are too many, you see, there are at least tens of thousands! We should, should continue to go to the port, and get on the ship before it's too late!"
The driver and Wan Biao were both stunned, and then Wan Biao was furious and threw his subordinate on the seat with a punch: "Shut up for me! Are you still talking about human words? Whose wife and child are not at the base? Here, shall we just go like this—"
boom!
The bullet rubbed his ear, and his whole body froze.
Zhou Rong was driving in one hand and holding a gun in the other. The muzzle of the gun was facing the head of the bodyguard behind him. His sharp and gloomy eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror.
"My wife was detained by you." He said lightly, "Whoever doesn't want to go back, get out of the car for me now."
His hands trembled and he slowly urinated his pants.
·
The dark night, which symbolizes gunpowder and death, falls, and the base is like an impregnable castle in the dark. The high beams flashed from the end of the mountain road, the jeep roared and galloped, and Wan Biao was heard hoarsely and roaring: "Open-door-"
At the sentry, several guards stuck their heads out: "Brother Wan?"
"Brother Wan is back, so soon?"
"Open the door!" Wan Biao roared sharply: "The zombies are here! First-level combat readiness!! Open the door!!"
The jeep almost slammed into the base against the slammed door. Before the car stopped, Zhou Rong had already jumped off, only to see two people rushing out of the duty room not far away, it was Chun Cao and Ding Shi.
"I knew there were ghosts! Didn't you say Brother Rong and Sinan went to the boat?!" Chuncao dragged a guard and roared, "What's going on? What are you doing?!"
The subordinate still insisted: "Sister Chen said that Captain Zhou set off when you were on patrol, and told you to go to the port to meet when you came back..."
Without saying a word, Zhou Rong stepped forward and unloaded his gun and stuffed it into Chuncao, then kicked the man wildly, spraying blood and flying several meters away.
Chuncao and Ding Shi said at the same time, "Brother Rong!"
"Sinan was kidnapped by Chen Yajing and Ning Yu for a living experiment." Zhou Rong said briefly, "I stumbled and was taken away by them and sent to the boat. Halfway through, they found a large number of zombies heading for the base, and they escaped."
The people around the base were coming over aggressively to settle accounts, but when they heard this, their expressions changed instantly.
Wan Biao rushed forward: "Push the alarm! Hurry up! Tens of thousands of zombies are gathering on our side, calling everyone out!"
Zhou Rong stretched his legs and tripped Wan Biao so hard that he fell into the mud.
Others couldn't stop it, and saw Zhou Rong pushing Wan Biao to the ground with one knee, and his elbows around his neck.
"Where is Simon?"
Wan Biao's face was red and he didn't say a word.
Chuncao reacted, and immediately stepped forward and used a gun to hold Wan Biao's head: "Will you talk? If you don't talk about the old lady, you will have a peach blossom on your face!"
"Don't come here!" Ding Shi pointed his gun at the people around him and shouted majestically.
"You can choose not to say it, but we can also kill you now." Zhou Rong leaned into Wan Biao's ear and whispered softly, his tone was like a demon's cold whisper: "Then we will kill everyone here, open the door, and let us Zombies poured in, dragging the lives of tens of thousands of people in this base to hell…”
Wan Biao's face twitched violently, and he could hardly believe what he heard: "You, you... aren't you an officer?!"
Zhou Rong said coldly: "Oh, do you believe that there are good people in office? Where does Lao Tzu look like a positive person?"
Wan Biao: "..."
The sound of the siren pierced the night sky of the base, and the guards shouted in fear to the point of change from the high post: "Come! I see!"
Everyone's heart froze, only to hear the guards being so frightened that they couldn't say a word: "Tens of thousands of zombies are coming from the north, prepare weapons! Tell Sister Chen!"
Ruthlessly afraid of being stunned, stunned for fear of dying, Zhou Rong is the one who is completely dead-the situation is extremely urgent, and Wan Biao finally collapses.
"In the southernmost part of the abandoned dormitory area, in the basement of the research institute, there is a secret... secret laboratory." Wan Biao swallowed and said hoarsely, "Ning Yu usually stays there, and the research materials are all in..."
Zhou Rong grabbed his throat and forced him to stand up: "You go with me."
"No! I want to take command, and deploy weapons and personnel..."
"Don't give me nonsense." Zhou Rong interrupted rudely: "Dr. Chuncao, you two stay here to coordinate and command, and let these wastes open up the arsenal. Go and tell Guo Weixiang to come here to help defend the city, and call Yan Hao went to the laboratory to find me, hurry up, you know why."
Chuncao did not hesitate: "Yes!"
"Listen, we don't want anyone to die." Zhou Rong put a gun on Wan Biao's forehead, his eyes were cruel and fierce, but every word was so calm that it was creepy: "I hope everyone can live safely tonight, But don't force me, otherwise I will always have a way to make you all pay the price... I have killed more people than you have killed zombies, understand?"
Wan Biao stopped in front of the car door, panting, trying his best to keep his voice steady for a while: "Understood."
"Very good." Zhou Rong pushed him into the car and said, "Now take me to the damn laboratory, and always pray for your life, my Sinan is still alive."
·
At the same moment, the experimental hall.
Ning Yu narrowed her eyes and stared at the muzzle of the gun not far away, then moved her eyes upwards and smiled slightly mockingly: "It's too late now that you think about the safety of your savior."
Dr. Zheng roared: "You promised me that I would just draw serum and detain him for a period of time, but you didn't say that you would use him for live experiments! You, you want to study vaccines, can't you test me? Am I not a living person? !"
"Don't be naive," a voice said from behind him.
Dr. Zheng turned his head subconsciously, and saw that the person who spoke was actually Sinan, who had been unwilling to look at him, let alone pay attention to him since just now. At this moment, there was a sound in front of him, and Dr. Zheng reacted, and immediately turned back and pointed firmly at Ning Yu. .
Ning Yu had already stepped out from behind the test bench, she stood still and sneered.
"What, what do you mean?" Dr. Zheng stammered and asked in a panic.
Sinan said flatly: "He originally planned to take you as the next subject of the experiment. If you fail, he will arrest a few more people until a major breakthrough in serum research is achieved. This period may take weeks, months or even A few years, but his subjects will one day be my turn and can't escape."
Dr. Zheng subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Sinan fell silent and didn't answer him again, as if he had fallen into some kind of thinking.
The experiment hall was silent, and the air was so tense that it was almost stagnant, as if cold gel filled everyone's nostrils.
After a long time, Sinan suddenly said something softly: "...You improved the virus."
Dr. Zheng was stunned, while Ning Yu raised her hand reservedly and clapped: "Go ahead."
"The zombies we found outside the base, as well as the zombies who bypassed the guards and came to besiege the city two nights ago, have the primary intelligence and instinct of hunting animals in groups, because you have improved the virus."
Sinan paused for a moment, then continued: "The reason why Pandora virus is difficult to conquer is not only because it has never been seen before in human history, but more importantly, its state is extremely unstable. For example, the incurable HIV virus, which activates cells in the A life cycle can be completed in a day and a half, while a zombie virus can do it in minutes; it spreads with unimaginable changes in structure and function, making it difficult to develop an effective vaccine against this condition."
"Oh, did Dr. Fehrman name it Pandora?" Ning Yu raised her eyebrows: "Humans finally know its name after being killed by billions of compatriots, which is really gratifying."
Sinan didn't take his word for it.
"I don't know what method you used, whether to symbiotic Pandora with other viruses, or use other means to slow down its mutation rate... In short, you have allowed the virus to complete its evolution and become a new type of... organism."
"Compared with ordinary zombie viruses, the evolved new virus has some changes in infection symptoms: the infected people show extremely low intelligence and biological instincts, and the zombie group is therefore more cunning and difficult to deal with. But at the same time, the new virus The mutation speed has been greatly reduced, making it possible to conquer…”
Sinan said slowly: "In other words, it can be cured now."
Dr. Zheng listened in a stunned manner, with a look on his face as if struck by lightning.
Ning Yu put her palms together, as if she was thinking about something, and after a while she admitted, "It's not symbiosis, it's decoding."
"I unraveled the last link in the Pandora virus gene that was not known to humans, allowing it to complete its final evolution."
"...Pandora's box has been opened, there is no antidote in this world, I can't do anything..."
"There will be no gods from now on, and human beings can achieve eternity by themselves!"
"The punishment for stealing the fire from Prometheus is completely annihilated under the burning flames..."
At that moment, the fragments of the memory spread out one after another and fell from his mind like snowflakes.
"And I'm not the first person to do this," Ning Yu said calmly. "Although there is no proof, I'm sure that the first person to do it was Dr. Alyssa Fellman. The virus has initially developed some kind of antibody, and her only child, you, has been receiving alternating injections of virus and antibody since a few years old, and your immune system has reached a state of perfect symbiosis with the virus."
Sinan closed his eyes hard, trying to capture more clues from Chaos' mind, but he failed.
Every time he tried to recall something, the dizziness and stinging pain swept through his entire consciousness like needles.
"So you're right, I'll keep experimenting until I find the perfect balance between the new Pandora virus and your antibodies, and I'll develop a vaccine."
Ning Yu said with a smile, put one hand in the pocket of her white coat, and stepped forward leisurely: "As the key to verifying the above theory, you must be the last position in this battle of human life and death... You can't get around it. It's open."
"Stand, stop!" Dr. Zheng shouted conditionedly: "Stand there and don't move!"
Ning Yu walked up to Doctor Zheng, pressed her chest against the muzzle of the gun, and mocked casually, "Shoot."
"… "
"I am a vicious murderer with at least a hundred lives in my hands. Come and shoot me. Why don't you dare?"
Dr. Zheng's hand holding the gun trembled violently, Ning Yu squeezed his wrist, and with a snap of lightning, he unloaded the gun and threw it far into the corner.
"Coward," he scoffed.
bang bang bang!
The alloy door of the laboratory was suddenly slammed, and Ning Yu didn't look back: "What?"
"Dr. Ning, the base has issued a special alert." The voice of the men outside the door couldn't hide the fear: "Zombies... Zombies are here again. There are tens of thousands of them, and they have surrounded the gate."
Everyone changed colors at the same time!
"Wait," Ning Yu said briefly, hurriedly walked back to the test bench, swept a bunch of test tubes and materials such as serum into the medicine box, opened the alloy door in her hand, and walked out.
"—You stay here," he gave Sinan one last glance and warned, "don't come out no matter what happens."
Then he pressed the key outside the door and silently slid on the alloy door panel.
