"Try to rest as much as possible within a week, and wait for the congestion to be absorbed by yourself." The doctor reported together, "Don't use your eyes during this time, and don't hit your head. The patient's own immunity is very strong, and there will be no major problems. of."
Zhou Rong thanked the doctor, took Sinan's hand, and led him out of the infirmary.
In the afternoon of the next day, the aircraft carrier finally landed, and what appeared in front of everyone was a huge group of artificial islands in the vast South China Sea.
Dozens of large and small islands are scattered around the main island, which covers an area of 8,000 square kilometers.
Following the design idea of the underground shelter in the B military region, the main island is also divided into four areas: management communication, energy production, defense armament, and residential and commercial areas. Warships shuttle between continents and archipelagos every day, bringing back ship by ship of survivors from the beacon-filled land.
After the 118th Division was withdrawn, the garrison was lost, but Lieutenant General Zheng Xie took over the follow-up matters of the special forces, took special care of Zhou Rong and others, and placed them in the double dormitory of the military region on the main island.
The warm wind swept the ocean, bringing a pleasant atmosphere of early spring. The green treetops by the dormitory building swayed slightly and rustled in the sunlight.
Zhou Rong stood in front of the corridor of the dormitory building, looking at the clean streets and green belts. The dark green military vehicles shuttled back and forth, the blue sea in the distance made the sound of tidal waves, the wind blew his short hair and collar, everything was so peaceful and orderly.
It seemed that the bloody escape that lasted for half a year was not real, and the near-death battle just a few days ago suddenly became a very distant thing.
Lieutenant General Zheng Xie completed the matter personally explained by the boss very quickly, and the promotion documents of Zhou Rong and others came down that day. Zhou Rong was promoted two levels in a row, Yan Hao, Chuncao, Ding Shi, and Guo Weixiang were all promoted by one level.
Lieutenant General Zheng Xie personally came to ask for Zhang Yingjie's ashes to be buried in the cemetery temporarily enclosed by the military. In fact, the environment in the cemetery is good and there are few ashes. After all, most of the fallen soldiers can't even keep their remains, and more are the glorious monuments engraved with the names of the martyrs; but Zhou Rong declined without thinking.
"I promised Yingjie to go to the Northeast to find his wife and children, and then give the ashes to his family."
Lieutenant General Zheng Xie also did not insist: "Although it is not in compliance with the regulations, you can call the shots."
The old lieutenant general's wrinkled eyes had obvious bruises at the corners. Zhou Rong couldn't help but glance at it several times. Zheng Xie raised his hand and touched it and asked, "Is it obvious?"
"You are... "
"It fell," the lieutenant general said gently. "You're too old, and you can't accept your old age."
Zhou Rong half-opened his mouth, nodded in conviction, and said in his heart that you have to look at the mirror for a long time to get the corners of your eyes like this. You are very skilled in wrestling.
Then, during the lunch break, Yan Hao finally solved Zhou Rong's confusion: "I was beaten by Ning Yu this morning."
Zhou Rong: "Huh?!"
The six people were divided into three dormitories, one room for Zhou Rong Sinan, one room for Yan Hao Chuncao, and one room for Ding Shi and Guo Weixiang. Guo Weixiang has not recovered from his grief, so Zhou Rong asked Ding Shi to come to his dormitory after lunch, leaving Guo Weixiang a space to be alone; however, Ding Shi found that he would be blinded by the dog's eyes within ten minutes of staying in the captain's house, so he went to the next door crying. Pulled Yan Hao Chuncao, saying that if you want to be blind, you can't be blind by yourself.
The new organization has not yet come down, and no one knows which army they should train with, so they have to sit in a circle in the dormitory and play cards. Yan Hao made a confrontation and said, "Yes, I went to visit the staff in the morning, and the next door is discussing this matter."
Chuncao asked, "Is the surname Ning crazy?"
"General Zheng went to the Institute of Biochemistry to offer condolences early in the morning, and told the person in charge of the institute that when the military established the South China Sea base, it realized the importance of Dr. Ning, and organized several teams of people to search and rescue him, always thinking that he was dead. Next to Dr. Ning listened quietly, and suddenly said: General, I have a question. Why last year we sent several distress signals along the coast, and the military ignored them, but as soon as the 118 special forces sent their positioning, the armed helicopters immediately responded. Are you here? In the eyes of the military, the lives of special forces are really more precious than those of us?"
Because the 118 unit must be the blue army every military exercise, it has a bloody feud with the elite army units of several major military regions, which can be said to be inseparable. But Yan Hao is an exception - after all, people with good faces are more friendly.
Therefore, Yan Hao can go out casually, and there are usually more sources of gossip than others.
"The head of the research institute was on the side, and his face turned green when he brushed it." Yan Hao described it very vividly: "The entourage around General Zheng also turned green, the air was extremely quiet, and the scene was extremely embarrassing."
Zhou Rong made a confrontation and was noncommittal to Ning Yu's question: "What did the general say?"
"General Zheng said: 'How many people are sending distress signals across the country, do you know how many soldiers have been sacrificed by the search and rescue forces? As far as the military knows, your survivor base has supplies and weapons, which can supply tens of thousands of people to survive, and also How will the military rescue you?'"
What Zheng Xie said was the truth - without knowing about Ning Yu, the military's search and rescue force was obviously to be used on the edge.
More survivors who are struggling on the line of life and death need to be rescued. In contrast, Chen Yajing's base is already a paradise in the apocalypse.
"After talking and talking, I don't know why Ning Yu suddenly broke down, and when he went up, he punched General Zheng hard, almost without seeing blood..." Yan Hao pressed everyone back with a pair of Q, and Ding Shi suddenly threw a pair of them. A, was a little dumbfounded immediately: "Huh?!"
Ding Shi stunned the audience with a pair of Aces, carefully considered for a while, and shyly threw a three of spades.
Everyone: "… "
Ding Shi couldn't play poker, and often a king bombed up, and then his hand was full of unplayable cards, so that every time before playing cards, everyone had to fight to be Ding Shi's next home.
Chuncao numbly watched Zhou Rong play cards one by one after Ding Shi, and asked, "Afterwards, was Ning Yu taught a lesson?"
Yan Hao also watched numbly as Zhou Rong's hands became less and less: "Of course not. Maybe he has to write a review, or maybe the research institute will write a review for him."
"He is so NB now?"
Zhou Rong put down his last single Pai Gow and said with a smile: "All the manpower is concentrated on the research of his new zombie virus, combined with the serum of our Comrade Xiaosi, it may be the fastest way to make a vaccine. So Dr. Ning can now Seriously, if he goes to sue Yan Hao for once pointing a gun at his crotch, our team may have to…”
Yan Hao said coldly, "Even if you punish me, it doesn't matter."
"...you have to be packaged and sent to marry Dr. Ning by the organization. It's a good match for a hundred years."
As soon as Yan Hao threw the card, he piled up his sleeves, Zhou Rong hurriedly hid behind Sinan, and Yan Hao could only turn back dumbfounded.
"Old Zheng is right," Chuncao asked curiously, "When did Dr. Ning become so crazy that even the general said he would fight?"
"Who knows," Zhou Rong smiled and threw down the last card: "Wang Zha! Give money, give money."
What made Ning Yu collapse was not that the military did not rescue him in time, but that during the time when the military did not come, some things were completely irreversible.
But Zhou Rong didn't say anything, staring at the three defeated generals with a playful face. The other three had no choice but to beat Ding Shi with tears on their faces, and each took out ten dollars.
Zhou Rong put it away and put it in Sinan's hand: "Hide your dim sum money and buy you a cream cake later."
Sinan sat quietly on the floor "watching" them playing cards, with his legs crossed and one hand resting on his cheeks, he seemed to have almost fallen asleep. Zhou Rong observed him for a while, and seemed to think that he was really asleep, so he carefully took out three ten-dollar bills, rolled them into a tube, and pulled the collar of Sinan's white shirt loose by two buttons.
Who would have guessed that before he had time to grab the money and put the money into Sinan's chest, he suddenly tightened his hand and was accurately grasped by Sinan, then leaned in and kissed him on the wrist.
The room was quiet. After a long while, Ding Shi said aggrieved: "I said that my dog's eyes are going to be blind, but you still don't believe me."
Yan Hao hugged his knees and squatted on the ground with his back to everyone. Chuncao squatted beside him and persuaded earnestly, "Look, do you suddenly feel that marrying Ning Yu is also a good choice..."
Sinan stood up, took two apples from the fruit bowl on the table, and said briefly, "I'll go next door to see."
Next door is Guo Weixiang's house, just two steps to the left when you go out. Zhou Rong got up to send it, but Sinan waved his hand to stop him, took a bite of the apple, turned around and went out.
"Who is it?" Guo Weixiang's calm voice came from the door.
Sinan didn't speak, bent down and put another whole apple at his door.
"Who?"
Simon leaned against the wall and walked towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.
After a while, Guo Weixiang finally reluctantly recovered his energy and opened the door, but the door was empty and there was no shadow. He glanced down and saw an apple beside his feet, and picked it up inexplicably.
·
Sinan walked downstairs and took the first step out of the corridor. He felt the sun shining on him, and it was very warm and comfortable. He opened his hands, and the wind passed through his neck, arms, and waist, with a slight fishy smell unique to the ocean.
Facing the sun, he let out a long breath, stretched out his hand and tore off the gauze that had been covered for several days.
The sun pierced his eyes subconsciously closed, then suddenly opened. There was an empty playground in front of him. There were no people during the afternoon training time. Not far away, under the shade of a tree, a few men in casual clothes were staring at him. He probably didn't expect him to suddenly pull off his blindfold. A positive.
Sinan raised the corners of his lips to them, the smile was somewhat provocative, and then he nibbled the apple and walked out.
Plainclothes looked at each other, and one of them ran upstairs to inform Zhou Rong and the others, and the others followed not far or near.
In fact, Sinan just wanted to stroll around. Both he and Zhou Rong knew that they didn't have intracranial congestion to the point where they had to rest in bed. There might be pressure on the optic nerve, but they didn't need to be blindfolded 24 hours a day.
Deprivation of the senses is just a gentle and euphemistic method, prompting him to become more dependent on the base even when he can't see things.
It's not a big deal, but everyone said they needed to "cooperate". After nearly a week of cooperation, Sinan finally wasn't so willing to cooperate.
The base is a temporary reconstruction of a man-made island, but the planning is very good. The white dormitory buildings are scattered in the military living area, separated by a green belt, and soldiers are running and training on the playground in the distance. In plain clothes, I saw Sinan walking leisurely in front, white shirt, casual trousers, with one hand in his pocket, and his pace was slow and slow; he passed the cafeteria, seemed a little thirsty, and turned his pace and walked in.
The task accepted by the secret service is not to let this person run around, but also not to cause the other party's disgust or even alert, let alone watch him get into trouble. So after a few people exchanged glances quickly, one of them in plainclothes brought some money and followed.
However, as soon as he entered the door, the plain clothes were stunned.
The window for selling rice has long been closed, and the cafeteria is empty, except for a piece of blindfolded white gauze hanging from the vending machine in the corner.
Simon is gone.
"Notify the institute!"
"Go there and search!"
"Get the man back, hurry up!"
…
The messy footsteps passed by like the wind. After a while, Sinan got out from behind the vending machine and patted the ashes on his body, like a high school student who had succeeded in mischief, and walked out of the cafeteria with the corners of his mouth up.
·
When the knock on the window sounded, Ning Yu was staring at the microscope with all her attention. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and saw Sinan standing outside.
Ning Yu was startled, and slammed open the desk documents, and opened the door in three steps: "You're going crazy! Why are you here?"
The laboratory of the Military Research Institute was heavily guarded, and the guards at the entrance were all armed with submachine guns. God knows how Sinan came in without knowing it. I saw dust on the shoulders and back of his white shirt, and asked casually, "Is there a trash can?"
Ning Yu was furious: "Get out! This is the laboratory! Come in after the ashes are finished!"
Sinan shoved the apple core into Ning Yu's hand and stood in the corridor to pat the ashes.
"@#￥O(*(…" Ning Yu's whole body was about to explode: "Are you disgusting! Give me your saliva! @#￥… "
"You can use it for DNA analysis," Sinan smiled. "Anyway, you will have my blood drawn every three days."
Ning Yu had to go and threw the kernel away, and slammed on soap to wash her hands.
"Did someone come to tell you that I'm missing?" Sinan asked while sitting on the only high stool in front of the experimental bench.
Ning Yu said angrily amid the rushing water: "The Secret Service has sent people to look for it twice, and it's like going to the house with the fire. Zhou Rong said that you might just be bored and want to turn around, but the plainclothes don't listen. , Lieutenant Colonel Tang will hang himself in a while..."
Sinan: "Go. He scolded Zhou Rong as a hooligan."
Ning Yu: "…"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ning Yu asked seriously, "Isn't it Team Zhou?"
There was another anxious cry from downstairs in the laboratory, and it seemed that the special service had started the third round of search. But Sinan turned a deaf ear, and Ning Yu didn't say a word, only to see that he casually took the information from the table and started flipping through it.
The Naval Research Institute of the South China Sea is responsible for researching viruses and cultivating vaccines. All of Ning Yu's work is the top priority, and the density is on the same level as that of national leaders. However, Ning Yu did not stop Sinan from looking at his work notes. He just leaned against the test bench and slowly wiped his hands with a disinfectant towel. After a while, Sinan asked unexpectedly, "All the simulation experiments failed?"
"Yeah." Ning Yu said, "After using the serum, the antigens were quickly swallowed up, but the immune system collapsed. In the real environment, the infected person also died. I tried to change the gene chain of the virus, but It didn't work much…”
Ning Yu put on the gloves carefully and said, "Other experts at the base think that it is probably a coincidence that Zhou Rong was cured, but I think that is because serum antibodies have requirements for the genetic level of the infected person."
Simon: "?"
Genetic level
Ning Yu pressed her lower back against the test bench, raised her eyebrows and asked, "If I say 'people are born with a distinction between noble and lowly', do you agree with this point of view?"
Simon: "Agree."
Ning Yu: "…"
Ning Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You cooperate!"
"I originally agreed," Sinan said lightly, "I always feel that my genes are more noble than Alpha. What do you want to say?"
Ning Yu's arguments full of citing scriptures were forcibly held back. Peerless eloquence had nowhere to go. After a while, she shook her index finger helplessly: "Universal values do not agree with this point of view. No matter from the perspective of law, religion or general moral system, All men are created equal; no one in the biomedical community will admit that it is not, and that there are good and bad genetic classes."
"Genetics determines a person's innate, environment determines a person's acquired. Some people are born smarter, stronger, more artistic or sports cells; genetic level cannot predict the lower limit of his development, but it is related to zombie virus. In the battle of life and death, the upper limit of the survival of bodily functions is limited."
"In other words," Ning Yu said, "only people with excellent genes are more likely to defeat the virus and survive after being injected with serum antibodies."
Sinan closed the note and said, "This is just your inference."
When facing anyone other than Zhou Rong, Sinan didn't show any obvious emotions, but Ning Yu still felt a trace of dissatisfaction from his flat tone.
"I thought you were not a supporter of the equality of all beings," Ning Yu teased.
Sinan didn't refute, he just answered plainly: "But everyone has the right to survive, Dr. Ning."
Ning Yu didn't know what the experience was, she suddenly fell silent, and her eyes flickered slightly behind the lens.
"Yes." After a long time, Ning Yu finally spoke again, paused and said, "But if this inference is proven, then the anti-virus vaccine will become impossible, and we can't first develop a virus to kill all the Let’s talk about people’s genetic level. There are also soldiers on the front line, don’t everyone get a shot of serum first, send out the dead to save people, and bury the dead and pull them down?”
Sinan gently threw the notebook back on the table, fell from the high stool to the ground, and said, "There will always be a way."
"There's no way." Ning Yu said coldly, "I'm not a god, and human intelligence is limited. I think everyone will just eat and drink on the island and wait to die."
Sinan twisted the doorknob and made a move when he heard the words.
"Don't say that, Dr. Ning." He said calmly: "Otherwise I'll have to send you down with a gun and lose the lives of those ninety-five subjects. Do you think it's your turn to eat and drink?"
Ning Yu: "…"
Sinan Shi Shiran walked out, Ning Yu's forehead twitched suddenly, she suddenly remembered something and chased two steps: "Hey!"
Sinan waved his hand without looking back, meaning there was no need to send it.
"Yesterday, there was news from the military that the search and rescue team rescued three people from country A from Changsha, and they have been sent back to the base!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sinan finally stopped.
"Zheng Xie went to see them today." Ning Yu whispered, "These people may be your old acquaintances, so I will remind you."
He clicked the laboratory door shut.
Sinan froze for a moment, the voices in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the secret service staff were so anxious that they could not release the police dog.
The vague hints in Ning Yu's words were like countless thin needles, causing his brows to wrinkle slightly, deepening the fine line between his eyebrows. Suddenly he grabbed the railing and jumped down, landing as light and silent as a cheetah, the three-story stairs came to an end in an instant; the armed police with submachine guns at the gate were taking turns, and in just half a second, Sinan had already left the military on his way. graduate School.
