reverse rescue

In the laboratory, Gu Zhou moved his sore neck, looked away from the test bench, and looked at the clock image on the wall.

3:42 am.

In front of the green computer screen, Dr. Xiaoye seemed to have fallen asleep lying on the table, and the whole laboratory was as quiet as a pure white monster that stopped breathing.

Gu Zhou sighed softly and walked out.

There is still no progress in antibody research, as the teacher said, it has reached the end of the mountain.

The blood and tissue samples they took a lot of effort to get from Lin Hao did not promote the development of antibodies as expected, but only made them realize more clearly how this is a virus that goes against common sense.

Or rather not a virus.

I don't know why, it was such a bleak ending, but Gu Zhou suddenly remembered that many, many years ago, he lived in Uncle Cui's house, had no playmates, and stayed in the room every day. Later, Uncle Cui did not know where to find it. He published the detective novels that he had collected for a long time, moved them all to his room, and read books with him when he had time.

Its hero, a gentleman in a black hat with a pipe smoking, says—

Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever remains, however unbelievable, must be the truth.

Gu Zhou woke up Dr. Xiaoye and said softly, "Xiaoye, let's go back to sleep."

Doctor Xiaoye half-opened his eyes in a daze, and said in a daze, "Hmm... Brother Zhou, what time will you arrive tomorrow?"

Gu Zhou turned off the computer: "Wake up naturally after sleeping, we won't come, I'll find something for you, Brother Bo, and the others to do."

Dr. Xiaoye suddenly became excited while half asleep and half awake: "Zhou... Brother Zhou, are you serious?"

Behind the mask, Gu Zhou seemed to show a somewhat helpless smile: "Scientists around the world have been unable to conquer even a tiny bit of the virus for several months. I can't think of any other way."

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhou shook his sweat-drenched hair, and said, "Okay, don't think about it for now, go to sleep."

……

Residential.

Gu Zhou dragged his legs that wanted to strike at any time to the door of his room, and was about to ask the director to open the door, but the director himself appeared by the door.

"Colonel Gu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Zhou looked at the director who suddenly appeared, confirmed that none of the parts on this person had been replaced, and then said, "What's wrong?"

Director: "Lieutenant Colonel Bai asked me to wait for you here, he said, I hope you can appreciate my beauty before going in."

Gu Zhou: "..."

Director: "Have you finished admiring it?"

Gu Zhou: "...It's over."

Director: "Okay, I'll open the door for you."

Gu Zhou: "...I mean I'm done."

The director did not master the language art of puns, he opened the door conscientiously, said gently: "Colonel Gu, good night." Then disappeared.

Gu Zhou looked at the pitch-black room inside, entered the door gently, closed the door gently, finished washing in the dark, and then gently climbed onto the bed.

He almost didn't use the lurking skills he had learned.

However, just as he lay down, closed his tired eyes, and was about to have a talk with Duke Zhou, the dark figure beside him suddenly said coldly: "Chuan'er, brother has been waiting for you for most of the night..."

Gu Zhou: "...you have been waiting for a long time."

Bai Yue remained motionless in the darkness, for a long time, he said angrily, "That's it?!"

"Shouldn't you be concerned about how brother spent the long night alone?"

Gu Zhou thought about it for a while, and felt that if he continued like this, he would probably fall asleep amidst the long reprimands, and then welcome a new round of reprimands from his brother.

So, he reached out and groped for a while, and successfully found his brother's messy head, and then touched the bridge of his brother's proud nose all the way, finally found the right position, and kissed it down.

The noses collided, he staggered slightly, and then lightly bit Bai Yue's lips.

The warm breath is intertwined, and there is a faint fragrance of toothpaste mint between the lips and teeth.

I can't see your face clearly in the dark, but I can feel the temperature of your breath and the softness of your lips.

Gu Zhou licked the corner of Bai Yue's mouth with some evil taste, then separated, pulled the quilt to cover it, and said with a smile: "Brother, sleep."

Bai Yue seemed shocked by Gu Zhou's rare initiative, he stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth in a daze, as if he could still feel the warmth left by that person.

A hot current flowed through the whole body in an instant.

He leaned over, and was about to strike while the iron was hot, to consolidate the foundation of his relationship with his boat, when he heard the person next to him breathing evenly, and snoring lightly along the way.

Bai Yue: "..."

A cavity of hot blood instantly cools down.

He hugged Gu Zhou in his arms as if venting his anger, then buried his head down, and after a long time, he said softly, "Good night."

"I love you."

……

On the second day, Zhao Tiantian, Feng Biao, Ge Tu, and Cheng Zhi were ordered in danger and received two tasks.

Zhao Tiantian and Cheng Zhi went back to the previous air-raid shelter in Yincheng, trying to take over the zombie boy and his father, and by the way, catch two more zombies who looked like elite soldiers, while Feng Biao and Ge Tu went to the north In the snowy land, look for zombies frozen in ice and snow.

The four of them didn't feel the slightest sorrow of re-entering the dangerous situation, and everyone's face was filled with joy of finally escaping from Bai Yue's clutches.

Tarmac.

Bai Yue looked at the armed helicopter in the square in front of him, and said with emotion: "If I had known that there was a landing pad under that house, I would never have complained that the stairs were too long when I came in and down the stairs..."

Zhao Tiantian put on the goggles, sat in the rear driver's seat of the helicopter, and waved happily at his captain who was sitting in a wheelchair with envy on his face: "Captain, see you tonight!"

Bai Yue showed a ferocious smile: "Miao Miao, see you during the night training!"

The four people on the helicopter looked desperate.

The dome opened, and snow fell all over the sky, covering the entire sky, as if the Creator had poured white sand on these tiny humans.

The place where Gu Zhou, Bai Yue and Doctor Xiaoye were standing outside the square gave out two crisp alarms, and then a glass wall rose to separate the three of them from the square. The biting cold wind was blocked by the glass wall, and they walked around circle, and then disappear.

Gu Zhou looked at the temperature on the glass panel and frowned slightly: "The temperature has dropped by about ten degrees since we came in."

minus 14 degrees Celsius.

Dr. Xiaoye touched the glass wall in front of him curiously, and said, "According to common sense, such a low temperature should not occur at this latitude and longitude, right?"

Bai Yue watched the two helicopters take off, and said, "Xiaoye, we are now in the end of the world, surrounded by zombies, oh, and it may be the alien invasion you just mentioned, rather than approaching science."

Doctor Xiaoye: "Then what should I say?"

Bai Yue said indifferently, "I don't know."

Doctor Xiaoye: "..."

Gu Zhou ignored the two people around him. He pondered for a while, and then said to midair, "Director, please report the changes in the outside temperature in the past few days."

The temperature data on the glass panel slowly disappeared, and then a downward curve appeared.

Director: "Lieutenant Colonel Gu, this is the external temperature data from the 76 hours since you entered the institute. Sorry, I was in a dormant state before this and cannot provide more data."

Gu Zhou looked at the falling curve on the panel, and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter. From the data, the temperature drops by an average of 0.15 degrees per hour. Will it continue to drop?"

The director was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Gu, I can't communicate with the satellites and get cloud images, so I can't provide you with weather and temperature forecasts."

Gu Zhou pondered for a moment: "Okay, that's all right."

The curves on the glass panels disappear, and then the helicopter flies out, the dome slowly closes, and the glass walls gradually fall.

Doctor Xiaoye asked with some horror: "Brother Zhou, do you think we will experience an alternation of extreme heat and extreme cold?"

Gu Zhou frowned: "It's possible. But what I'm worried about now is that if the temperature continues to drop, the ground may no longer be suitable for human survival."

Bai Yue looked at the troubled Gu Zhou, pondered for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Chuan, if it gets colder, the helicopter will not be able to fly long distances. We may need to leave for the shelter as soon as possible."

Gu Zhou: "Well, but the antibody has not been successfully developed, and our conjecture has not been verified..."

Bai Yue interrupted him: "Xiaozhou, Miaomiao and I will go back with the primary antibody, and you and Xiaoye will stay here. Doesn't the primary antibody mean that there is about 70% chance of a cure? It is enough."

Gu Zhou bit his lip, and said in a low voice, "Are you recovering from your injury, why don't you let them go back?"

Bai Yue slapped Gu Zhou's thigh jokingly: "Why, I usually leave my brother outside alone and grow mushrooms in the laboratory by myself, now I know I can't bear to part with my brother?"

Gu Zhou said indifferently: "Leave if you want."

After speaking, he swiped his ID card outside the metal door with a snap, and the silver door slowly closed.

Gu Zhou turned his head: "When will you be back?"

Bai Yue chuckled a few times, as if he thought this man was cute with a tough mouth and a soft heart, and said, "It's New Year's time."

"Brother brings you a gift."

……

The tasks of Zhao Tiantian and others were completed relatively smoothly, and the two groups came back only half an hour later.

In the laboratory, a zombie is kept in each of the six airtight glass rooms.

Inside the first room is the little zombie boy.The little boy didn't look much different from when they left. He lowered his head under the light, found a relatively dark corner to stand, and let out a low growl or two from time to time.

Inside the second room is the little boy's father, Zhan Qingfeng.There was hardly a piece of good flesh all over his body, his skeleton-like body was covered with fine and dense bite marks, and the black blood was coagulated, making him look hideous.I don't know if it was because he was too weak, but he was very quiet the whole time, and he seemed to be the silent and gloomy middle-aged man who hadn't turned into a zombie.

A small layer of frost formed in the third and fourth glass chambers.The two blue and white zombies were frozen into ice cubes and placed stiffly on the ground. If you look carefully, you can still see the slightest bit of cold air.

The last two rooms are the kings of the zombies, whose blood is coagulated and their faces are ferocious, and they can kill countless compatriots at a glance.

Gu Zhou and Doctor Xiaoye were fully armed and wanted to complete the autopsy of the corpse tonight.

Zhan Qingfeng was tightly tied to an operating table by a restraint belt, with a mass of unknown substance stuffed in his mouth, and he was struggling to die.

Doctor Xiaoye stood on top of Zhan Qingfeng's head holding a craniotomy, and tremblingly said to Gu Zhou beside him, "Zhou...Brother Zhou, why do I feel like I'm doing a vivisection? It's too inhuman. "

Gu Zhou took out the small electric drill indifferently, and snapped it open. Amidst the buzzing sound, he said casually, "It doesn't matter, someone must have done an autopsy, maybe something was found, but we don't know, or maybe nothing was found. Besides, this person died a long time ago, so you just treat him as a devil possessed by the spirit of the dead, so you don't need to have psychological pressure."

Doctor Xiaoye wanted to cry but had no tears: "The devil possessed by the dead, Brother Zhou, what kind of devilish metaphor are you talking about?"

Gu Zhou glanced at him inexplicably: "Isn't this written in your book "The Domineering Wizard Falls in Love with Me"?"

Doctor Xiaoye: "..."

Stop talking, I choose to do it directly.

The gray and white bone meal splashed, and the yellow, yellow and white brain gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

Doctor Xiaoye carefully observed the surface of the brain, and then said: "Brother Zhou, I think it looks like the surface of an ordinary brain..."

Gu Zhou bent down, looked at it casually, and then said: "I can't see it, I can't touch it, it's normal."

After speaking, he picked up a small flamethrower, pointed the chopstick-like flame outlet at the yellow-white brain, and pressed the switch.

The blue and yellow flames were still a punch away from Naoren, and the surrounding air began to heat up, causing dizziness to spread out.

Zhan Qingfeng suddenly began to struggle violently, a struggling roar came out of his throat, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only roar in pain.

Huangbai's brain seemed to start to curl up and squirm, but the magnitude and fluctuation of the squirm were extremely small, and it seemed that there was no such thing with the naked eye.

Gu Zhou moved the flame away, and Zhan Qingfeng's struggle instantly weakened, and then he returned to the initial state of struggling.

Gu Zhou casually pinned the flames on Zhan Qingfeng's body again, but Zhan Qingfeng didn't seem to notice it, as if the zombie struggling by the fire just now was not him.

Doctor Xiaoye stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, before he could put down the craniotomy in his hand, he murmured through heavy protection: "Brother Zhou, I thought we were doing a scientific experiment, but I didn't expect you to be so simple and rude. "

Gu Zhou turned back coldly: "Any opinion?"

Xiaoye shook her head: "No, I like it."

The situation of the little zombie boy was similar to that of Zhan Qingfeng, but the brain activity of these two people was significantly weaker than that of the two zombies who had eaten enough, while the other frozen zombie remained motionless during the experiment, as if it was a real thing. turned into a solid ice sculpture.

In the end, Gu Zhou thawed the remaining frozen zombie in a timely and suitable temperature environment, and then encountered a situation similar to Zhan Qingfeng, but his reaction was relatively weak.

He put down the fire-breathing metal pipe in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiaoye:

"Xiaoye, do you think this looks like a dormant insect?

"In other words, it has both the behavioral characteristics of insects and the explicit state of viruses, which is a completely new and undefined mode of life.

"Born through parasitism, but let the host die first, occupy the center, manipulate the body, prey on living things, and achieve reproduction.

"It has no cell structure like a virus, and it is as small as a virus. We can sequence all its genetic material, but it is as elusive as a virus. Even if we have all the genetic information, we can't do anything about it."

Gu Zhou paused, then continued: "It is very possible that there is a completely new form of living things besides the animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and viruses we already know."
