The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

District Chief Jiang is dead. While being interrogated, he suddenly turned into a zombie and was shot in the head by the guards around him.

Of course, even if his head hadn't exploded, the corruption all over his body was obviously caused by the zombie virus, and he probably wouldn't have survived.

No one knew where the virus came from, nor how the other party was infected. Later, the base commander led people to search the other party’s residence and the other party’s entire jurisdiction, but no useful clues were found.

To ensure safety, the base commander had to order the burning of District Chief Jiang's residence. High temperature and flames can kill most viruses.

This news came out this morning. Thick smoke was billowing out of the northernmost triangular area of ​​the base, causing most base members to look at it sideways and talk about it.

You Muqi arrived a little late, and by the time he arrived at the research institute, the matter had already been publicized.

However, Yu Yue, who had been waiting for a long time, told the real story. The incident happened last night when Yu Yue received the news from General Qi.

As for Xiao Liu's case, the base's investigation of District Chief Jiang should have come to an end. They could not get any useful information from him, and there was no substantial evidence of harm, so they could not say what District Chief Jiang was up to, but they could not just keep him there, after all, he was the District Chief of District One.

General Qi originally wanted to inform You Mu of this result through Yu Yue, but something unexpected happened. Worried that the situation would be difficult to control after District Chief Jiang's corpse turned into a corpse, he quickly asked Yu Yue to bring people to reinforce the defense.

Fortunately, they discovered it in time. The virus was not contagious, and the corpse of District Chief Jiang was shot dead on the spot.

Although there are still doubts, the person involved is dead, the house was burned down, and those unreasonable things are buried under the ruins and will not be easily dug up again.

"It's a bit strange. According to the general, District Chief Jiang was fine a few minutes ago, his thoughts and speech were normal, and then he suddenly turned into a corpse."

"There were guards everywhere at the scene, so he didn't have time to be infected with the virus. If he had been carrying the virus from the beginning... he couldn't have maintained a clear consciousness for so long."

Before one matter is concluded, another unsolved case emerges.

"Doctor, is there a medicine that can delay the time of corpse transformation?" Yu Yue tried to explain with the medicine, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of District Chief Jiang doing this.

If the other party really had something, it should have been revealed, so he would be so resolute, right? Furthermore, if District Chief Jiang's purpose was to retaliate against them and drag them to die together, he should not have chosen a scene like that.

"It's not very realistic at the moment. The virus changes rapidly. If it could be delayed, the vaccine would have been developed long ago." What's more, seven years have passed, and the virus has also been iterating and updating, constantly gaining the ability to be immune to various sera.

Delaying the transformation of the corpse is not an easy task.

The principle of the research is not much different from finding a vaccine against a virus.

As the two were talking, there was a sound from the door, and Xiao Lin poked his head in through the crack of the door: "Dr. You, our doctor would like to ask you to go to the third floor."

"what's up?"

"…It's hard to describe. You'll know if you go over and take a look." Xiao Lin had a complicated look on his face, as if he was shocked by something.

"Got it." He printed out the edited document. He had just accepted Du Yansheng's task last night, so he took it with him.

Yu Yue naturally followed the whole way. The two followed Xiao Lin's slightly anxious steps to the third floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they ran into Du Yansheng who was waiting for them.

"Doctor You, the observation room of 049 has changed a lot in one night. It cannot be opened from the outside. I don't know what the situation is inside, so I dare not break in by force."

Du Yansheng felt a little uneasy. When he saw You Mu coming over, he wanted to pull him over quickly.

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look." 049 had a big meal yesterday, and You Mu knew what was going on. He was not too nervous, but he also took Du Yansheng's mood into consideration and strode over.

The glass wall in the corridor has been completely covered by silk threads, and the situation inside cannot be seen. The dense and crisscrossed silver-white silk threads are completely attached to the glass surface. The material of this thing is somewhat strange. According to Xiaolin, even the scanning instrument cannot detect the situation inside.

When we went to the holding room, we saw the same situation. It was all white and we couldn't tell the condition of 049 at all.

"What should we do? If it is a second metamorphosis, the time interval is too short. 049 has always been very well behaved and has not made much movement in the greenhouse."

In the past, Du Yansheng had a very regular schedule, but today he was a little late and missed the morning observation period. When he anxiously packed himself up and came out, he saw 049's unexplained condition.

Things went beyond his expectations and he panicked for a moment.

The first person that came to his mind was You Mu, so he urged Xiao Lin to call for help. He watched from here, fearing that there was something wrong with the threads, or that they would break through the glass barrier and cause trouble.

"I checked the surveillance footage. The first things that 049's silk thread blocked were these cameras. Its intelligence seems to be higher than I expected. What does it want to do? Escape, or find a way to kill us?" Du Yansheng was worried, and his folded hands turned pale.

It was not that there had never been a case of experimental subjects escaping from the laboratory, and each time, there was always casualties and bloodshed. Those untrained experimental subjects were eventually executed by the joint efforts, or suppressed as much as possible.

There was one time when his self-righteousness brought him bad consequences.

On that occasion, the mentor severely reprimanded him for his unrealistic ideas, told him to face reality, and told him that even if the experimental subjects were once human beings, they were different from humans. They had animal nature, they were good at disguise, and they would take every opportunity to fight back.

He did ignore the dangerous attributes that an experimental subject should have because of the low aggressiveness shown by 049.

Even though he knew he had to be vigilant about the subject's every move, he still missed it.

Du Yansheng seemed very anxious, fearing that his mistake would cause casualties in the entire institute.

In the past, he had to make his own decisions on these matters, maintaining a calm appearance, and even when he himself was not confident, he had to appease his assistants.

Perhaps it was because the conversation with the other party last night was too harmonious, or maybe You Mu gave him a mentor-like feeling, reliable and steady, which made him subconsciously seek help from the other party again.

You Mu casually handed over the agreed document and told Xiao Lin to prepare a small cutting machine.

Turning around, he saw Du Yansheng looking at him eagerly for an answer, and said calmly, "Don't worry, if the defense was to be breached, the alarm should be going off by now. As for the situation inside, we'll know once we take a look."

"...Okay." Du Yansheng nodded, following the other party's tone and breathing, suppressing some uneasy thoughts.

The tools were placed in a convenient place, and Xiaolin came back quickly, bringing with him assisting guards and protective clothing.

"Give it to me. Your current heart rate is not suitable for doing these." You Mu took the tools from Du Yansheng and put on a protective suit which was not necessary but could give people around him peace of mind. He cleared the people in the shelter room and only left a few guards to watch the situation.

His palms were trembling slightly, but Du Yansheng did not try to be brave and followed the others to retreat outside the shelter.

Through the window, his eyes were focused on the person in the white protective suit. Driven by the other person's easeful movements, his heartbeat gradually slowed down.

The inside of the iron door of the roulette lock should be blocked by the silk thread and unable to rotate. You Mu used a cutting tool to directly cut off the door lock.

When the metal door was broken open, the extremely tough silk thread was still stuck to the heavy iron door.

The door opened and the situation inside became clear.

049 built a quiet and airtight nest for himself to live in. On the largest dead branch in the greenhouse, a huge teardrop-shaped silky pupa bag was hanging upside down.

You Mu took the knife and tried it. The silk threads spit out by the other party were very tough, and the texture was somewhat similar to that of metal steel wire. After a section was cut off, several tiny gaps could be seen on the sharp blade when held up to the light.

After putting away the silk thread as a sample for research, You Mu turned around and waved to the guards behind him, signaling them to quickly replace the lock.

"This time the pupae form is more than ten times larger than the last time..." After figuring out the reason for 049's enclosed space, Du Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but he was a little worried about 049's overly large pupa.

"Dr. Du, Captain Li is back and seems to have brought back a living intelligent zombie. No one answered the call on your side, so he called the upper level directly. I brought them here to set up cages to contain the zombies in advance." Wu Hua trotted over to convey the message and brought a team of technicians.
