Rules for surviving the apocalypse for sickly beauties

Teng Xiyan: "...You can speak now."

"How long will it take?" Cang Mingzhu moved his eyes away and stared at the liquid.

"One hour."

Teng Xiyan took out a lot of things from the medicine cabinet and said, "The child's current condition is very unstable. I'll make some nutritional supplements to keep him alive. He'll die before the tests are even finished."

After saying that, he lowered his head and stared at the bottles of potion in his hand seriously, and began to tinker with it.

Cang Mingzhu sat aside and stared at his busy figure moving left and right. It was also very quiet outside the laboratory. Lin Wangxi and Li Jiaoyang also successfully picked up Xie Xuan and the others.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. Teng Xiyan stretched his sore neck, then picked up the first test tube, took out a piece of paper and a pen.

He wrote down a large series of messy data text. After writing the last stroke, he clicked on a point and put down the pen.

Staring at the data on the paper, he said slowly: "The results are out."

Cang Mingzhu raised his eyes and asked, "How is it?"

Teng Xiyan put the paper in his hand on the table, raised his eyes, and looked a little strange: "There is no virus in the body, but-"

"I detected the YN3 component in my blood. You should know what it means."

Cang Mingzhu pursed his lips and said resolutely: "Impossible."

"Although I don't know what the connection is between your 01 Research Institute and the Heretic Inspection Institute, I did detect this component in this child's blood. Their condition is not contagious, but -" Teng Xiyan paused, his eyes A trace of pity flashed across.

"Hopeless."

He did detect YN3. Although the substance present in the blood is not a virus, it is something scarier than the virus. It lurks silently in the human body. Once it combines with some external substance, it will slowly The earth erodes the human body, and the only known symptom is the appearance of black mesh-like lines on the body.

But everyone who saw the line was dead, and he couldn't save this child.

Cang Mingzhu closed his eyes for a while and asked, "How long can you keep him alive?"

Teng Xiyan picked up the nutritional supplement on the test bench, estimated the time and said: "Five days."

"In five days, can we find out the incubation period symptoms of this thing?" Cang Mingzhu opened his eyes and seemed to have made a careful consideration.

Teng Xiyan pursed his lips: "No."

"But you can try."

Five days, this is the deadline for this child to see the light.

Cang Mingzhu walked out with the child in his arms, and several people gathered around him. Li Jiaoyang hurriedly asked: "How's it going, boss?"

Cang Mingzhu looked at Teng Xiyan.

Teng Xiyan said: "The good news is that there is no virus in his body and he will not be infected."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the words fell.

"Bad news, he only has five days to live. I'm not a doctor. I can't save him."

The words after the turning point made everyone fall into a dull atmosphere. So what is the meaning of their support?

Teng Xiyan did not mention the YN3 and 01 research institutes that he and Cang Mingzhu were talking about inside, because there was no evidence yet and he could not jump to conclusions and cause unnecessary panic.

Lin Wangxi said: "In five days, we can return to the base. Maybe this child can be saved."

Teng Xiyan shook his head: "It can't be saved. His body functions have been destroyed and all his organs are in a state of failure. I can only use nutritional supplements to keep him alive."

Zhao Shun stepped forward to take the child and said with great treasure: "Colonel, let me take care of the child."

We took a car all the way from the city to the place where the helicopter was parked. Their helicopter had a built-in dispersal function, so there were no mutants wandering around.

They moved most of the usable supplies down and planned to take the car all the way back to the base, because all of the child's organs and senses were very fragile now, so they had to take the car.

After the little boy woke up, he nestled in Zhao Shun's arms without saying a word, quietly looking out the window at the scenery along the way.

"How long does it take to get from this place to the base you are talking about?" Teng Xiyan propped up his chin and stared out the window.

Tantai Zhao was sitting in the main driving position, holding the window with one hand and holding the steering wheel with the other. He replied: "It originally took four days, but at our current speed, it will take about six days."

Li Jiaoyang was sitting in the passenger seat, resting his head on his hands, stealing a lollipop from somewhere, and said vaguely: "Six days if it's safe. If it's not safe, I might not be able to go back!"

Cang Mingzhu sat between Lin Wangxi and Teng Xiyan, tapping the instrument on his wrist with his slender fingertips. He raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Can I contact the headquarters now?"

Tantai Zhao nodded: "Okay."

Cang Mingzhu turned on the communication device and made a beeping sound. Then a sweet female voice came from the communication device: "Hello, Colonel Cang."

"Report the situation in the North District to your superiors."

A voice holding a pen and paper came from the sweet female voice, "Colonel, please speak!"

"There is a plant mutant dormant in Heping Town, North District. It has the effect of hallucinating humans and mutants. The hallucinated mutant can reach higher levels and has been eradicated." Cang Ming Candle's eyes when reporting Staring out the window, his voice was as cold as a machine.

"About the refugees in the North District -" Cang Mingzhu paused, his tone still cold, "None of them survived."

There seemed to be a pause on the other side, and then replied: "Okay, Colonel Hardworking, I will report it truthfully."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiaoyang asked: "Boss, don't you have a child?"

Cang Mingzhu raised his eyes coldly and said: "Don't mention this matter to others. I said he will never survive -"

"There is no way to survive."

Li Jiaoyang shut up sarcastically, whatever the boss said was right.

Teng Xiyan looked at the setting sun and yawned slightly: "It's almost night, why don't you find a place to rest?"

Tantai Zhao replied: "Yes, there is a small supply station about two kilometers ahead. I have already detected it. There are fewer mutants there."

Half an hour later, a group of people successfully arrived at a small supply station.

Li Jiaoyang quickly cleaned up the mutated objects in the surrounding area, while other teammates tidied up the inside of the damaged supply station. A small team went to the surrounding area to find some edible, non-mutated food.

As night fell, the darkness bound them like an invisible net. Even if they were resting, they did not dare to sleep too deeply. A group of people took turns to stay on duty until dawn.

Zhao Shun held the child in his arms, wrapped him with the warmth of his body temperature, and stared at his sleeping face, his expression indeed extremely sad.

There should be no one in the North District now, but he didn't know if his parents had followed the army to the base. He really wanted to go back and take a look.

Teng Xiyan brought a few simple instruments and equipment with him before leaving the laboratory. He placed the instruments out, took out a syringe and injected some liquid into it.

The little boy nestled in Zhao Shun's arms, staring at the needle with his big eyes, and said in a childish and innocent voice: "Brother, I'm going to die, right?"

Teng Xiyan stopped moving his hands, stared into his dark and bright eyes, and replied: "Yes, you only have five days."

Zhao Shun raised his eyes, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Why would he say such a thing to a child directly? Couldn't he make up some words to coax him?

After hearing this, the little boy just said calmly, and then asked: "Then why do we need to get the injection? I am a little afraid of pain, can I not get the injection?"

Teng Xiyan pointed the needle in his hand upwards, squeezed out a little liquid, and then replied: "No, because it can sustain your life for five days."

The little boy was quiet and rolled up his sleeves obediently. There was almost no flesh on his arms, only a piece of skin sticking to the bones. The dense black mesh lines on his body made his scalp numb. Teng Xiyan tied his arm tightly with a rubber band. The squeezed blood vessels were almost invisible, but Teng Xiyan accurately inserted the needle into the blood vessels and pushed the liquid in.

After the injection, the little boy's face turned visibly rosier.

Teng Xiyan squatted next to the little boy and asked, "Do you know how your uncles died?"

The little boy's pupils suddenly focused, and he slowly lowered his eyelids. He was silent for a while, and then answered: "They did not starve to death. There is obviously a lot of food in there."

Cang Mingzhu handed the food to Teng Xiyan and the little boy, sat down next to them and listened to the little boy's words.

The little boy took a bite of the dry food and chewed it hard for a long time before swallowing it. He continued: "They don't know why. They didn't speak at first. They only made babbling sounds. They sat in the darkest place and refused to come out. , my uncle asked me to stay at the door, and I was not allowed to go down, and he didn’t give me anything to eat. Until a long time later, there was suddenly no sound from below, and I didn’t dare to go down. I was about to starve to death, and when I heard you guys at the door, I stopped. I rescued it.”

Teng Xiyan raised his hand to touch the residue from the corner of his mouth, and then asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

The little boy said: "It's a bit cold."

Zhao Shun touched his arm and said, "His body is very hot."

Teng Xiyan took a small notebook and wrote down the symptoms. He closed the notebook. He half-knelt in front of the little boy and opened his eye sockets. There seemed to be a layer of mist on the eyeballs. He asked, "Can you see me clearly?" ?"

The little boy said: "Yes, but I can't see him clearly."

He pointed at Cang Mingzhu, who was sitting behind Teng Xiyan. He was only about half a meter away, but he could no longer see clearly what was there.

Teng Xiyan touched his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Cang Mingzhu squatted down, his black figure a little oppressive. He stared at the little boy and asked: "Why didn't you people in the air-raid shelter leave with the large army?"

The little boy shrank into Zhao Shun's arms and said nothing, with a hint of fear in his dark eyes.

Teng Xiyan put his hand on Cang Mingzhu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Colonel Cang, you are scaring the child, let me ask."

Cang Mingzhu: "..."

"Don't be afraid, tell me why you entered the air-raid shelter at that time?" Teng Xiyan's voice was clear and soft, as warm as bathing in the spring breeze.

The little boy bit his lip: "There's no room left in the car... They won't let us go..."

Li Jiaoyang stared at the side and suddenly got angry and yelled: "It's not like they are sick! Let such a young child stay here! Where is your conscience?!"

Teng Xiyan couldn't bear it and continued to ask: "Then who brought you to the air-raid shelter?"

The little boy looked confused for a moment and said, "It's an uncle. He said someone will come to us..."

"Is he also in the air-raid shelter?" Teng Xiyan asked.

The little boy shook his head: "He didn't come in. Uncle is very good. He left us a lot of food."

Teng Xiyan turned to look at Cang Mingzhu, who nodded.

"Then what does that uncle look like?"

"I can't remember clearly. He seemed to be wearing black clothes and spoke very softly."

Teng Xiyan asked: "What's your name?"

"Hello."

peaceful always.

He Suian pulled Teng Xiyan's sleeve and shook it, with a hint of pleading: "I have a sister named He Niannian. She is not with me. She must still be alive. Can you help me find her? Tell her that her brother is fine."

Zhao Shun hugged He Sui'an tightly, raised his head, and moved the tip of his nose slightly, trying hard to wrap up the tears in his eyes and prevent them from falling.

Teng Xiyan replied: "Okay, I will help you find her."

After packing up all the things, we started to get in the car and continue on our way.

Teng Xiyan leaned against the window and looked out the window. The road was relatively flat, things outside kept moving backwards, and no one spoke in the car.

"Colonel Cang, are you saying that the disaster that caused this apocalyptic situation is really a natural disaster? Or a man-made disaster." Teng Xiyan suddenly spoke, breaking the tranquility in front of him.

Cang Mingzhu was closing his eyes to rest, and did not open his eyes. He just said, "It's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. We will find out these."

Teng Xiyan turned his head, looked at his side face calmly, and asked: "How to check? I suggested that there might be something wrong with your 01 Research Institute, don't you believe it?"

Tantai Zhao looked at Teng Xiyan through the rearview mirror and found that what he said did not sound like a joke, so he said: "How many years has the 01 Research Institute been established? Many experiments that are beneficial to human beings have been exposed in the experimental community. It came out of 01 Research Institute, and now it’s a bit ridiculous to deny 01 Research Institute just because of a little doubt.”

Lin Wangxi pulled out the lollipop from his mouth and said, "But aren't there some people in 01 Research Institute who are also very extreme? Ordinary people don't know about it. Don't you Mingkong know about it too?"

Tantai Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Li Jiaoyang squinted his eyes and said in a lazy voice: "Those old men always do some non-human experiments. Maybe they really take the earth as the target of their experiments. Anyway, I hate everyone in the institute——"

"Everyone!"

Cang Mingzhu opened his eyes, and his half-closed eyelids covered the complicated thoughts in his eyes. He said: "Even if there is a problem in the 01 Research Institute, there is no evidence now. All we have to do is to bring those refugees back to the base and ensure that For their safety, don’t discuss other matters. It’s best not to talk about it after you return to the base.”

"I know, boss."

Cang Mingzhu looked at Teng Xiyan: "When you return to the base, will you go to City 0 or City 1?"

Teng Xiyan suddenly frowned, sat down, and said in a heavy voice, "Where is my cat?"

There were so many things going on along the way that he almost forgot about Jiaojiao. After walking for more than a day, he always felt that something was missing in his arms. It turned out to be his cat!

Li Jiaoyang laughed out loud and said, "You didn't hold your cat when we were in Heping Town. It may have died."

Teng Xiyan took a deep breath: "..."
