Jiang Lishan frowned and nodded, then turned to look at the back of Xiong Nan leaving.
"What were you talking about just now?" Xu Haoyu's voice came from behind.
Although some parts of the helicopter were severely damaged, the important lines were not broken, and there were many replaceable parts, so Xu Haoyu only took two hours to repair it, which was faster than expected. An hour earlier.
After he finished repairing, he walked towards Jiang Lishan, intending to sit and chat with them, but before he got close, he saw Jiang Lishan and Xiong Nan talking about something in a low voice, with serious expressions on their faces , but when he came over, Xiong Nan had already left.
Jiang Lishan didn't want to make too many judgments before the matter was confirmed, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "It's nothing."
"Aren't you too perfunctory?" Xu Haoyu looked at him speechless, and said, "How long have we known each other, is there anything I can't see?"
Jiang Lishan didn't speak.
Xu Haoyu sat beside him and was also silent. As he said just now, as teammates who have been together for many years, most of the time they can guess what the other person is thinking, but it is precisely because of this tacit understanding , so Xu Haoyu knew that no matter how he asked, as long as Jiang Lishan didn't want to tell him, he would never say what he just talked about with Xiong Nan.
The ninth floor was very quiet. The air that should have been cold and odorless was mixed with an unbearable stench because of the blood spilled from the corpses. Against the background of the dark night, people felt more and more heavy.
Xu Haoyu suddenly called out to Jiang Lishan: "Brother Jiang."
"Huh?" Jiang Lishan answered him.
"Let's rescue Shan Qiang? Don't let him go back with Dr. Charlie and General Mond." Xu Haoyu said this sentence lightly, his face was expressionless, neither excited nor excited, his eyes Staring at a nut not far ahead, his tone was calm as if he was discussing with Jiang Lishan when the sun would rise.
Jiang Lishan didn't expect him to say this, he was stunned for two seconds and then said: "You think it's beautiful, how can you save it?" After asking this sentence, he sneered again, not sure if he was laughing at himself or Laughing at Xu Haoyu's whimsy: "Even if you save him, how do you want him to live outside? He can't touch humans."
Xu Haoyu snorted: "You already know?"
Jiang Lishan said: "Well, he just told me."
"I just found out about it not too long ago." Xu Haoyu drooped his shoulders, then winked at Jiang Lishan narrowly as if thinking of something, "But we can't take care of him, you are different."
"Me?" Hearing this, Jiang Lishan paused while cleaning the pistol, smiled and shook his head and said, "I have rough hands and feet, so I can't take care of him well."
Xu Haoyu said: "How could it be? You are also very accurate with your gun now."
Jiang Lishan spread out his black gloved hands, and said calmly, "It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to take care of people."
Especially when that person is very important to you and needs you to take care of him forever, it becomes even more difficult.
Because you care about him very much, you don't want others to help, but you can't take care of him yourself, which will make him feel wronged.
"That's better than being taken to the laboratory and being studied all the time?" Xu Haoyu still didn't give up, "I don't know the name of the female assistant who died over there, but she just told me a lot I just found out..."
Jiang Lishan took his words: "Do you know how dark this world is?"
"I knew this a long time ago, I just can't accept it..." Xu Haoyu sighed heavily, paused for a moment and said, "Shan Qian looks like a person, he is still a child. Although I said before We are not the same species as him."
"But...we turned him into a different kind of person."
"It's useless for you to tell me." Jiang Lishan changed his sitting position, trying to make the boy in his arms sleep more comfortably, "He is the only progress in the X-virus vaccine, and you know that if we take him away, Then it may be many years before the vaccine has another such progress, and it may even be useless. Have you ever thought about other people's lives?"
This is an unavoidable question—whether to use the blood of a few people in exchange for righteousness and happiness for the majority, or to survive together in embarrassment and with difficulty, waiting for the day of extinction.
Listening to Jiang Lishan's question, Xu Haoyu didn't speak for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice: "So you have to sacrifice him alone in exchange for the happy life of others? There was no vaccine before, and we lived well, didn't we?"
Jiang Lishan didn't answer his question, Xiong Nan also walked over here, saw Xu Haoyu staying here for a moment, then smiled, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Yo, Yuzi, the plane has been repaired?"
Seeing Xiong Nan's expression, Xu Haoyu knew that he was going to distract himself from talking to Jiang Lishan, so he rolled his eyes and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, I know you guys are going to tell a little secret, myself Walk."
After speaking, he stood up from the ground and walked towards the elevator entrance.
Xiong Nan sat down beside Jiang Lishan: "What did he tell you?"
"He said—" Jiang Lishan said, looking down at the boy in his arms, "he wants to save the mountain and take him away."
Xiong Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuzai is quite caring."
Listening to Xiong Nan's joke, Jiang Lishan twitched his lips and asked, "What does the boss say?"
"The boss didn't say anything." Xiong Nan shrugged. "Actually, I don't know what we can do. Even if we expose this matter, how many people do you think will condemn Dr. Charlie? Even if Charlie is held accountable, Will they let Shan Chiu go?"
Su Jinzhi's age does not meet the screening criteria for test subjects, so they are sure that Dr. Charlie's research process must have violated the test subject screening guidelines of the base and the experimental center. This is something anyone who sees the boy can guess. I don't believe that General Mond didn't notice anything wrong when he saw the boy, but so what
General Mond didn't say anything, obviously he had also acquiesced to this matter.
Xiong Nan continued: "It's been fifteen years. The security base is only that big, but the population is increasing. We've waited for fifteen years before we came to the mountain to pick someone up."
Jiang Lishan said lightly: "You also said that he is a human being."
"He used to be, but not now." Xiong Nan patted Jiang Lishan on the shoulder, "But we are good brothers."
To put this sentence in another way, even he can do nothing, but if Jiang Lishan decides to save Shanqian, he and Ma Lin will both help, but they can't do anything else, and they can't do anything else.
After a pause, Xiong Nan continued: "Thirteen kilometers to the east of the North Tower Security Base, there is an experimental center that has been abandoned but has not been bombed."
"Thank you." Jiang Lishan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then thanked him.
"You don't have to thank me." Xiong Nan said, "Xiao Ai told me that, her partner died there."
The experimental center near the North Tower base used to be an experimental area that the government attached great importance to, but later there was a riot of experimental subjects, and many soldiers and search and rescue personnel who went to suppress the riots were sacrificed. After all the experimental personnel evacuated, the place gradually It was deserted, and only some soldiers' widows occasionally went there to visit their lovers.
"I see." Jiang Lishan nodded, but just after he finished speaking, there were screams from the soldiers at the entrance of the cave.
They immediately got up and looked over there. Su Jinzhi, who was lying in Jiang Lishan's arms, was also awakened by his movement, and he was at a loss for what to do while clutching his arm.
The monster that seemed to be made of blood came back again, and it brought a group of high-level zombies, and directly pulled down the floor near the soldiers with their hands, so the soldiers immediately fell to the eighth floor, followed by The senior zombie bit his neck, and after a few hard gasps, he was out of breath. General Mond didn't fall completely immediately, but half of his body was suspended in the air. Before he turned over and climbed up to the ninth floor, he was grabbed by his ankle by the zombies below and bit him.
Blood burst out from the wound in an instant, and other zombies who smelled the blood immediately rushed towards him, grabbed his thigh and began to eat.
Mond kept screaming, his voice mixed with the sound of the zombies chewing on his body, making one's scalp numb with horror, Ma Lin and the woman with ponytail rushed over from the elevator, raised their guns and shot the people on the eighth floor. Zombies, while Xu Haoyu grabbed General Mond's hand and dragged him up.
Dr. Charlie hid aside with the other experimenters as early as the moment the monster attacked, and pressed the elevator button on the apron to open the shelter roof. Stand still.
The experimental center was built in the Black Rock Desert, and tonight, for some unknown reason, there was a big sandstorm outside, and the wind and sand blew so that everyone could barely open their eyes. Xu Haoyu, who was giving first aid to General Mond, covered his eyes. He squinted his eyes and shouted: "Dr. Charlie, what are you doing?!"
The ligament at General Mond's ankle was completely broken by the zombies, exposing his white ankle bone, and the meat on his right thigh was almost eaten by the zombies. He was almost unconscious from the pain, but such a serious wound is not enough. The most terrifying thing is that after 12 hours, he will mutate into a member of the group of zombies that just bit him.
Mond also knew this, but he also knew another thing, that is, Charlie had the first-generation antibody vaccine in his hand. He took two deep breaths, gritted his teeth, and held Xu Haoyu's hand Say: "Vaccines..."
"What did you say?" The wind was so loud that Xu Haoyu couldn't hear what he said, so he approached him and asked again.
"Charlie has the vaccine in his hand..." Mond panted heavily, as if this sentence had cost him a lot of energy, and after he finished speaking, he collapsed on the ground, his whole body twitching slightly.
However, Dr. Charlie didn't care about him at all, but got into the helicopter and waved to Su Jinzhi: "3000, come to Dad quickly!"
Su Jinzhi didn't move, but the bloody monster seemed to find some direction after hearing Dr. Charlie's voice, roared sharply and rushed towards the direction of the helicopter. Seeing this, Charlie quickly retracted his body, but It was already a step too late, the monster chased him into the helicopter, Charlie quickly pushed out another person as his shield, and then fell out of the helicopter.
And the vaccine he was carrying in his arms also rolled out, gurgling to the vicinity of General Mond.
As a result, Mond, who seemed to be dead just now, regained his strength, opened his eyes wide and trembled and touched the vaccine. Xu Haoyu knew what he meant, and immediately picked up the vaccine and gave Mond an injection.
Watching the light red liquid being injected into his body, Mond finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and rested on the ground.
The blood-red monster crazily killed all the experimenters in the helicopter, then ran out, and continued to pounce on Charlie, but before she could catch up to Charlie, she was hit in the chest by the grenade shot by the bear man.
Hearing a loud bang, a bloody hole the size of a blue ball was blown out of its chest, but its figure just paused, and then continued to pounce on Charlie, as if with the determination to die, to pull And Charlie died with it.
As an old human being, how could Charlie outrun such a fast-moving monster? Almost in the blink of an eye, he was caught by the monster. The monster grabbed his silver hair and pulled his hair around his scalp. When the whole thing was torn off, Charlie stared wide-eyed and screamed horribly. The scene was so bloody that the bear man even forgot to shoot. Just like this, he just watched the back of Charlie's head being pried open by the monster, revealing that there seemed to be something still inside. A beating brain.
"Ahhh!" Charlie screamed even more fiercely before he died, and the bear man came back to his senses, and shot the monster again in the head.
But this time it still missed, but the grenade completely shattered the monster's grip on Charlie's right shoulder, and lost the force of the confinement. Charlie swayed twice in mid-air before falling down.
With such a serious wound, no one thought he could survive.
But the monster was not dead yet, twitching and moaning on the ground, the bear man took a deep breath and stepped forward, intending to shoot it in the head again, to understand its life.
I don't know if it was because of the injury, the monster's voice was no longer as sharp and terrifying as before, but weakened so that everyone could hear it clearly... it turned out to be a woman.
"It hurts..." She sobbed on the ground, looking at everyone with half-opened eyes, her face was covered with blood, making it impossible for people to see what she looked like, but they could clearly see that her eyes had black spots Eye Pupil—she's not a zombie.
But her strange brute force and her tenacious vitality that has not yet died in such a mutilated body will not make people feel that she is a person, let alone her bloody and cruel killing methods.
So Xiong Nan didn't soften his heart, and he didn't hesitate at all when he pulled the trigger.
However, when Su Jinzhi heard the moan of the monster, he found it very familiar, and quickly stopped Xiong Nan: "Wait!"
