Escape the Library

【Gene mutation-06】

Professor Tang drew Xu Yishen a route map to the expressway. After passing the gas station, Xu Yishen saw the entrance of the Huancheng Expressway. He drove his car to the expressway. The road signs on the expressway were very clear. There are arrows to F city. Xu Yishen has a lot of driving experience. Follow the road signs, so you don't have to worry about going the wrong way.

Zhuo Feng, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, looked out the window and couldn't help but wonder: "The mutants have conquered the entire city. Don't the citizens run out? Why can't you see a car on the road?"

Xu Yishen said: "The population of this city is more than one million, so it's impossible to destroy it in a few days, right?"

Yue Xingwen looked out the window thoughtfully, the sky was getting dark, the whole city was plunged into darkness, and even the light of a street lamp could not be seen. Xu Yishen turned on the headlights. In the dark, he did not dare to drive too fast and kept the speed at around 70km/h.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the classmates in the car did not make a sound, staring silently out of the dark window, as if something would suddenly attack them in the darkness, everyone was on guard and did not dare to relax.

However, nothing happened.

The car drove smoothly on the highway for more than half an hour.

Professor Tang's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound. He coughed lightly and asked, "Do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten for three days." The bottle of milk had survived for three days. At this time, the stomach was so empty that it was almost impossible to support it.

Yue Xingwen turned his head and said, "We are still within the confines of City C. This is the base camp of mutants. We can't relax. After we leave City C, let's all have dinner together. Professor Tang, why don't you drink some water first? Eat some peanuts and red dates to cushion your stomach?" He took out a bottle of mineral water from the box and handed it to the other person, opened his schoolbag again, grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed it over.

Professor Tang: "..."

To escape, bring a bunch of peanuts, red dates, sesame and mung beans, these people are really creative. Professor Tang twitched the corner of his mouth, took the mineral water and a handful of peanuts, and chewed it silently.

The car was speeding at high speed, Xin Yan was really not good at cooking. They didn't find biscuits and chocolates that were easy to carry in the supermarket, and Yue Xingwen couldn't help it. He looked at the teammates around him: "Are you hungry? Who wants peanuts?"

Ke Shaobin raised his hand: "I want it." The others were not hungry. After all, they came to the examination room after breakfast, and they all shook their heads to express that they did not want to eat.

Ke Shaobin found that apart from Professor Tang, who was starving after three days of not eating, he only raised his hand to eat. His ears were slightly red, and he added in a low voice, "Just give me a few to taste."

Yue Xingwen said with a smile: "You're welcome, you just took enough, you can eat it." He stuffed Ke Shaobin with a lot of peanuts and asked, "Do you want melon seeds?"

Everyone: "..."

How about escaping, are peanuts and melon seeds decent?

Ke Shaobin coughed, took the melon seeds handed over by Yue Xingwen, lowered his head and nibbled the melon seeds silently.

In the quiet car, there were only the sounds of Professor Tang eating peanuts and Ke Shaobin eating melon seeds. The sound lasted for a few seconds, Xin Yan finally couldn't help it, and said lightly: "I will find a safe place later, and I will cook porridge for you. Use an alcohol lamp to burn the distillation bottle, and there is gasoline next to it, in case the vehicle bumps. It would be very dangerous to cause a fire.”

Yue Xingwen said: "Well, let's leave City C first."

Everyone was chatting when Xu Yishen slammed on the brakes!

The sudden braking made everyone's body rush forward uncontrollably, and everyone hurriedly grabbed the seat to stabilize their body. Ke Shaobin almost fell, and the seeds in his hands were spilled on the ground. He hurriedly sat down and asked nervously, "What's going on?"

Xu Yi frowned deeply and said, "There is a traffic jam at the toll station ahead."

Yue Xingwen walked quickly to the vicinity of the driver's seat and looked forward, only to see a long queue of private cars lining up on the highway, blocking the entire road. Most of the cars had their lights on, and there was a deafening honk from the front.

Drop drop-

The harsh horn sound made everyone frown.

Zhuo Feng walked to Xu Yishen's side, looked forward, and frowned, "Why is the traffic jam so serious? Is it a serial traffic accident?"

Yue Xingwen said: "We have encountered a large army of escape, right?"

There were no vehicles on the highway just now, and everyone wondered why the residents of the entire city did not flee? Now it seems that the residents have already run away, but when they drive on the highway and want to get out of the city, they are blocked at the toll booth.

This section of the road happens to be a curve. Looking out from the window, the traffic jam is like a golden chain. The long queue of cars can't see the end at a glance, and I don't know how long they have been stuck here.

Yue Xingwen asked Jiang Pingce if he wanted to get out of the car with his eyes. Jiang Pingce nodded, and Yue Xingwen turned around and said, "Everyone wait in the car, I'll go down with Pingce and have a look." The two got out of the car together and went to Go ten meters ahead.

In the congested traffic, many drivers locked their doors in horror, and many drivers got out of the car and chatted with the people around, Yue Xingwen heard someone cursing in a low voice: "Fuck, it's been blocked for several hours. What happened, is there anyone in charge!" "I don't know, is it a serial car accident?"

"This road doesn't work, what should we do? Should we go back and find another way?"

"You're crazy! Go back and be caught by those monsters for experiments?"

Do an experiment? Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the two walked forward quickly. Yue Xingwen looked at a middle-aged driver standing by the car smoking a cigarette and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by doing an experiment? Someone was arrested. Did you do an experiment?"

The middle-aged man with a stubble face irritably spit out a smoke ring, and said: "Don't you know? This city is completely messed up! There are some strange people in black suddenly appearing on the street. I still have a gun in my hand!"

A young man in sportswear next to him said: "I also heard that those people in black will first ask you if you want to do experiments with them as a volunteer, and those who don't want to be killed directly!"

The curly-haired woman clenched her fists tightly, her voice trembling: "We thought it was the SWAT police at first, but as a result, a child turned around and ran away, and was shot in the head by them... Too, too scary!"

The man said with a sullen face: "How can you force people to do experiments like this, and kill them if you don't agree! Those people in black are simply terrorists/terrorists! We can't stay here anymore, so we want to go to the relatives' house in F city to escape. for a while."

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, "When did they take to the streets to arrest people?"

The woman said, "Just, just yesterday."

Yue Xingwen said, "Have you been stuck on the road all day?"

Uncle Beard snuffed out the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground irritably, crushed it with a leather shoe, and said, "Yesterday, those men in black only appeared near the scientific research institute in the western district of the city, killing a lot of people. I saw the news on the Internet. , I hurriedly packed my luggage, ran out at noon today, and ended up stuck on the highway."

The young man said: "We also only came out this afternoon!"

The woman looked around anxiously: "If you keep blocking like this, what if you are caught up by those people?"

Panic spread quickly in the crowd, and there was a loud cry of collapse ahead, mixed with roars and curses, especially the vehicles caught in the middle, unable to go through, and unable to retreat, just waiting to die.

After a while, a group of people suddenly ran in the opposite direction from the front of the convoy screaming as if they were being chased by wolves. The drivers of the convoy who were stuck on the road saw this scene and rolled down the windows one after another and asked, "What's wrong?"

In the rushing crowd, someone shouted in a hoarse voice: "There are monsters ahead, monsters!" "Run!"

Hearing this sentence, some people immediately locked the doors in horror, and some drivers simply abandoned the car and ran away.

The entire highway became a mess in an instant. Not far away, a woman wearing high-heeled shoes sprained her foot while running away. She accidentally fell to the ground, and was stepped on by the crowd coming from behind, screaming shrilly.

The cries of children, the cry of the elderly and the horns of vehicles mixed together, making it deafening. The crowd rushed in from a distance like a tide, Jiang Pingce's expression changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Yue Xingwen's wrist: "Go!"

Before Yue Xingwen could react, Jiang Pingce suddenly opened the coordinate system with his right hand and took Yue Xingwen directly into the sky. After a long parabolic motion, the two flew to the vicinity of the toll booth.

Looking down from the sky, Yue Xingwen finally saw what happened in front of him——

Several large trucks were parked at the toll booth at the expressway exit of City C. Some men in black, armed with assault/machine/guns, stood guard at the toll booth and questioned the passing vehicles one by one. A cold voice came from below: "Would you like to be a volunteer?"

Willing to let go, and bound hands and feet and escorted to the carriage of the truck. If you don't want to, you will be executed on the spot.

The reason why the crowd suddenly ran backwards was because a few men were looking for an opportunity to resist when they were being escorted, but the people who were escorting them snapped their necks!

Those people's teeth were sharper than those of beasts. The few people who had their necks bitten fell into a pool of blood in horror. Those who saw this scene immediately abandoned the car and ran away!

The speed of the crowd rushing was simply not as fast as the bullets behind them.

The men in black immediately fired at the fleeing crowd, and the sound of "bang bang" gunshots resounded through the night sky——

People fell one after another and there was blood everywhere! In the blink of an eye, the entire highway was dyed red with blood. In front of organized and armed mutants, ordinary humans were so insignificant that they were almost powerless to resist.

Yue Xingwen looked at this hellish scene, his face was extremely ugly.

Jiang Pingce said: "There are too many people in black, we must transfer them immediately."

The mutant team shot forward with the assault/machine/gun all the way. Although their bus was at the end, they couldn't sit still and wait for death. Yue Xingwen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

The two returned to the car, and Lin Manluo nervously greeted them: "How is it? I heard gunshots outside!"

Yue Xingwen said: "The mutants blocked the toll booth in advance, and all the citizens who wanted to escape from the city were blocked here. They took guns and asked one by one if they wanted to be volunteers. If you want, put them in a big truck and take them away. If you don't want to, shoot them on the spot!"

Hearing Yue Xingwen's brief description, the classmates in the car gasped.

Xu Yi said with a deep face: "Volunteers? Those who are willing to be volunteers are equivalent to being forced to join the mutant team. Will they be pulled to do research and have their genes modified?"

Zhuo Feng looked solemn: "In this way, isn't the mutant team getting stronger and stronger?"

Jiang Pingce said: "If you want to survive, you must join the mutant camp, otherwise you will be executed immediately. The corpses we saw in the square today should all be human beings who resisted and were shot/killed on the spot..."

Those who resisted did not end well. But who knows, after joining the mutant camp, what will be used for research?

In the eyes of mutants whose physical strength, speed, and endurance have been enhanced in all aspects, ordinary humans are just guinea pigs in the laboratory. They have no human rights and no freedom, and can be killed with a single injection at any time.

Liu Zhaoqing clenched his fists tightly and said, "This situation is really the end of the world! Is there still a chance for mankind?"

Yue Xingwen suddenly looked at Professor Tang who was sitting in the back row: "I remember Professor Tang said that among the materials you carry, there are mutants' weaknesses, so mutants are eager to find you? Since they are all products of genetic modification , The information in Professor Tang's hand should have a complete genetic sequence, which can solve the problem of mutants from the root, right?"

Ke Shaobin quickly understood and used an analogy: "If mutants are a kind of genetic program, then Professor Tang holds their source code? With the source code, we can find attack mutants. The best way for people to destroy these programs!"

Professor Tang nodded solemnly: "Your understanding is correct. This information is extremely valuable, so even if I die, I will not give it to anyone, and I must take it to the Gene Center."

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath: "Don't worry, we will protect you!"

Today, the highway is completely blocked, and the congestion is more than 3 kilometers, and they cannot go directly.

Xu Yishen said: "This highway can't go through, and behind us is the base camp of mutants, and we can't go back. Think of a way, is there another way?"

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Abandon the high speed and take the provincial road."

Xu Yishen looked back at him: "Do you know the way?"

Jiang Pingce said: "I have been observing just now that there is a parallel road under the expressway. It is marked with provincial road 106. The direction is north, which should be the passage out of the province. The mutants blocked the expressway for the first time. There is a toll booth, but that path should be open at the moment. We can turn off the lights and get around this road as soon as possible.”

Professor Tang's face changed slightly: "However, if we take the provincial highway, we have to turn back first, get out from the expressway just now, and then walk for several kilometers in the city..."

Yue Xingwen said: "Don't worry, we have a solution."

He looked at Jiang Pingce, who nodded immediately, stretched out his right hand, drew the xyz coordinate system, set the entire car as a coordinate, and quickly wrote a line of formulas.

Jiang Pingce said in a deep voice, "Everyone sit down!"

Everyone grabbed the armrests of the seats, and the whole car floated in the air in an instant, flying straight to the side from the highway——

Professor Tang closed his eyes tightly, thinking he was going to crash the car this time!

However, after the huge bus flew out from the expressway, it did not crash, but landed steadily on another path 100 meters away from the expressway.

Professor Tang was frightened: "This..."

Yue Xingwen said: "You can pretend that we have special functions and can fly."

Jiang Pingce took a step forward: "Brother Xu, turn off the lights, the lights will attract the attention of mutants."

It was pitch black around this road. They turned on the lights and walked forward in a grand manner. The mutant team on the high-speed not far away saw the lights and would definitely find them and immediately chase after them.

Xu Yishen turned off the lights and said, "It's dangerous to drive in the dark, let Ke Shaobin come over!"

Ke Shaobin walked quickly to the driver's seat, summoned the robot, and said, "I will let the small map radar detect it. If there is an obstacle ahead, it can call the police."

The small picture enables the radar monitoring function, showing the scanned path on the screen.

Xu Yishen slowed down, followed the path shown in the small picture, and drove forward in the dark.

On the highway in the distance, from time to time there were piercing screams and cries.

In the car, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

Yue Xingwen frowned tightly. For them, this was just an exam, but for the humans in this exam room world, what everyone faced was the life and death of the entire species.
