Undead

Human proving ground.

——After these words came out, the huge and empty laboratory suddenly fell into dead silence.

Two or three meters away, the man struggled unceasingly, and the rustling movement suddenly became particularly sharp and piercing.

Ning Yu was expressionless, while Dr. Zheng gasped for breath, with his hands hanging by his side, he clenched his fists subconsciously.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Sinan looked at Ning Yu and asked slowly, "Are you turning me into a zombie too?"

Ning Yu seemed a little surprised by Si Nan's stability, and replied casually: "No, I'm only doing this when I'm crazy." But after a pause, he added: "But if necessary, I will."

"...What do you want to do?" Sinan asked with a frown.

Ning Yu smiled: "You missed the point. The problem is not what I want to do, but what I have done."

He got up and walked towards the test bench. Sinan's eyes followed him. Ning Yu turned on a device that looked like a rice cooker on the table and took out a blood collection tube with tweezers. Sinan recognized the rice cooker. It was a blood centrifuge. machine.

He suddenly lowered his head, and as expected, he found a blood-stained cotton ball fixed by medical tape in the vein of his right arm.

"This is your serum." Ning Yu put the blood collection tube into the device and took off the cap, and said intently: "It was supposed to collect blood with your left hand, but I heard from Romuel that you are a very outstanding individual combat expert...so I Decided to take the right hand, extra insurance."

Sinan clenched his right fist tightly. Sure enough, he had the sequelae of a one-time large dose of blood collection. His fingers were cold, weak and slightly soft.

"Romuel? Then did he tell you that my left and right hands are the same?" Sinan mocked, "If it's really safe, you should take turns to mine my limbs with 400CC."

Ning Yu replied: "If necessary, I will, don't provoke me."

Sinan struggled for the handcuffs, making a loud clatter, but the metal remained unmoved.

Ning Yu didn't raise her head: "Don't bother, it's made of fine steel."

"..." Sinan finally felt the absurdity and gave up struggling: "What are you doing with my serum?"

Ning Yu used the outdated method to manually calculate and remove the cover, while recording something on paper, unexpectedly he did not ignore it, but answered the question in an orderly manner: "A few months ago Romuel came to Here, use the semi-finished antibody in his hand as a bait, let us search for your trace along the coast. His inexplicable persistence aroused my curiosity, until your people came here with a group of survivors... "

Ning Yu's calculation speed was very fast, and he didn't slow down in the slightest because of his narration: "I asked Dr. Zheng and learned that when you first joined the survivor camp, you once claimed that you were bitten by a zombie, and that night you started high fever."

"It turned out that it wasn't a zombie, because I wasn't infected!"

"No." Ning Yu said, "I suspect that you were indeed infected that time."

Si Nan asked suspiciously, "...what do you mean?"

Ning Yu finally stopped counting, picked up a string of pendants from the test bench, and shook Sinan: "Are these your parents?"

——That is the brass necklace that Sinan never leaves.

"I'll pay you back." Ning Yu looked at Sinan's expression and said, "It's just that after I saw this photo, I realized that maybe you are what I've been looking for... Sorry, it's the test target I've always suspected existed. .”

Si Nanxin said, doubt exists?

"I have seen your father Lingtang." Ning Yu seemed to see through his question, but did not explain, but changed the subject: "When I was 16 years old, I went to country A to study for a doctorate, Dr. Zhong Wan and his wife Alyssa Dr. Felman is my fellow student. At that time, we were studying a subject related to viral genetics under the same supervisor. life."

Si Nan was caught off guard and found out his parents' real names, and was stunned for a moment.

"For the sake of everyone being Chinese, Dr. Zhong Wan gave me a lot of professional help, but the good times didn't last long. A few months later, Dr. Zhong Wan was infected with the virus in an experimental accident and unfortunately died. Alyssa Dr. Fairman disappeared from the research base with his body and you."

"...You..." Sinan's voice became unsteady: "I don't remember these, you can say more, my parents and they..."

He is eager to know what his parents who he has never met were like in his memory. He wants to know more and more specific details, even if it is a few insignificant childhood things.

But Ning Yu didn't show any expression, and only answered him in six words: "No time, no interest."

"After the experiment accident," Ning Yu replaced the blood collection tube, and continued: "The subject was considered to be highly dangerous and confidential, so the military took over the entire research institute at the expense of it, and began to search for Dr. Felman's whereabouts. The body of Dr. Zhong Wan she carried, as well as the series of mutant behaviors produced by the body, have become targets of great interest to the military."

Si Nan noticed his wording: the mutated behavior produced by the corpse.

Can remains have behavior?

"Although you were very young at the time, you should remember that there was always a bloodthirsty, howling father in your family who kept trying to violently attack you and leave you with various wounds. Dr. Zhong Wan's behavior... …Sorry, I don’t want to use Dr. Zhong Wan to call that thing anymore… After its behavior was monitored by military personnel, it was considered a great verification of virus research, which was of milestone significance. That is, from then on One year on, under the order of the military, the scientific research base began experiments on living people."

Doctor Zheng, who was listening on the sidelines, was already stunned.

Si Nan closed his eyes, and countless chaotic memories flashed through his mind like a horse on a horse. He opened his eyes and said tremblingly: "...White Eagle Base?"

"I don't know what it was renamed later," Ning Yu said, "because I quit the research group that year and fled back to China."

Ning Yu took out the test tube with tweezers, which contained the separated, light yellow serum.

Si Nan glanced at the man beside him whose groans continued to grow louder and gradually turned into dull wailing, and then looked at Ning Yu: "After you returned to China, you continued to experiment with living people, which led to the outbreak of the virus?"

"Am I sick?" Ning Yu asked impatiently.

Simon: "..."

"To tell you the truth, all capable countries in the world were conducting research in this area at that time, and human beings' pursuit of 'better themselves' and 'longer life' was endless... The only difference is whether to insert a virus as a genetic modification method, and whether to use live humans as test subjects. By the way, I am very sure that our country uses chimpanzees, and I have no doubt that this will be a strong foreshadowing before the disaster."

Ning Yu walked to the side of the man who was turning into a zombie, pushed out the air in the syringe, and injected the biochemically synthesized serum into his blood vessel.

"As for me," he said, "I didn't start experimenting with living people until after the virus had fully broken out . . . the person in front of you, for example."

The man's chest rose and fell violently, and he let out an inhuman scream. Doctor Zheng closed his eyes heavily.

Sinan asked hoarsely, "Is this why Chen Yajing accepted the survivors?"

"Of course not. But I will indeed use opponents and single survivors as test subjects, which will be more difficult to detect." Ning Yu pushed the whole tube of serum and pulled out the needle: "For example, this person, some time ago because of stress Too big and insane, running around like crazy, easy to get around if lost."

There was nothing fierce in his tone of voice, on the contrary, it was no different from "add an extra egg to the lunch box" or "today's weather is a bit cloudy"-because it was so calm and natural that it made people feel a little bit of anger in the bone marrow. An icy shudder.

"...You injected him with the virus and tested the serum after he was infected?" Sinan asked incredulously, "Why not use animals, or simply use a simulated immune system?!"

Ning Yu didn't answer him immediately, but picked up the camera to take a few pictures of the man on the operating table, then opened the notes and began to record quickly.

The man has been completely infected, but has not been completely transformed into a zombie.The serum quickly decomposes and absorbs in his body, locks the antigen, and starts an invisible, smoky and massive war.

"Zombie virus does not infect animals, you must have discovered it." Ning Yu said without raising his head: "No matter how you reduce the dose and reduce the toxicity, the only result of zombie virus entering the animal body is immediate death; only in humans and chimpanzees. Injecting viruses can produce mutation effects, and I don’t run a zoo, where can I catch so many chimpanzees?”

"As for the simulated immune system, it's even more ridiculous. I need infected people in the transformation process under very specific conditions. The requirements are very high in all aspects. Do you know how long it took me to build this laboratory? Do you think Can I build a supercomputer with my bare hands as an artificial simulation system?"

The man's screams suddenly increased, his pupils suddenly expanded, and then closed rapidly!

Ning Yu raised her eyes and looked at Sinan mockingly.After more than ten seconds, Sinan squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "How many people have you killed?"

Ning Yu said, "Who remembers this."

"...You really have the spirit of scientific research, why don't you experiment with yourself first, why don't you give yourself a shot of the virus first?!"

"If necessary, I will." Ning Yu repeated this sentence for the third time. Compared with the previous two times, her tone and tone were the same, which was in stark contrast to Si Nan's anger: "Now, please lie back , The experiment has reached a critical stage."

Sinan's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and leaned against the recliner almost forcibly.

"Ah... ha... ah——!"

The man suddenly struggled with all his strength, and his muscles and bones were almost strangled by the restraint belt!

The explosive power at that moment was simply too terrifying. Dr. Zheng reflexively took two steps back, but Ning Yu stepped forward quickly and snapped on the flashlight.

He carefully observed the face with distorted features and open mouth in front of him, not caring at all that the other's teeth almost touched his hand several times.Every minute and every second seemed to have passed a century. After a few minutes, the man's pupils changed significantly, his eyeballs became bloodshot rapidly, and the veins on his neck burst out!

Dr. Zheng stammered out a few words: "—heart, heartbeat!"

Ning Yu and Si Nan turned their heads to look at the same time.

The straight line on the instrument that became horizontal suddenly zigzagged, then jumped up and down, and began to pulse.

Ning Yu let go of her hand, the flashlight fell to the ground with a clang, and Gu Lulu rolled to the bottom of the operating table.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

But everyone present could hear the difference. The roar was not the deep wailing of zombies, but the unconscious venting behavior of human beings in a state of insanity.Ning Yu rushed to the test bench and grabbed a needle. Before she could run back, she heard the man's intermittent voice: "Save, save, save..."

"—he spoke," Dr. Zheng coughed and panted, unable to tell whether it was extreme excitement, excitement or fear: "he spoke!!"

That was just a matter of a few seconds.

The man gripped the bed sheet tightly, and bowed upwards, like a balloon that was blown to its limit, and burst in the next moment.

He fell heavily back onto the operating table, his mouth, nose, and ears were filled with blood quickly, and he was silent in an instant.

The curve of the instrument flattened out again, and a monotonous beeping sound enveloped the entire dead hall.

Ning Yu was panting, her whole body suddenly relaxed, and she took several steps back dejectedly.

"He, he's dead," Dr. Zheng trembled with his hands, finished the examination tremblingly, and said, "Zombie...the signs of zombification have disappeared, and the serum, serum, serum vaccine actually works..."

Although it was only for a short moment, the serum did have an effect——

The combined effect of the virus and the serum strangled this life, but the serum successfully prevented the virus from turning the body into a zombie!

Ning Yu raised her palm and covered her face tightly.

"...Impossible," Sinan murmured blankly, "Impossible, how could I..."

Ning Yu wiped her face heavily and said, "It's as I expected."

Both Sinan and Dr. Zheng stared at him helplessly, but Ning Yu said nothing more, turned around and returned to the test bench, and quickly turned on the centrifuge - only then did Sinan discover that there was actually a row of blood collection tubes on the test tube rack.

Ning Yu's hands were too ruthless, it looked like he had drawn at least 800cc of whole blood while he was unconscious.

Sinan is light in weight and the total amount of blood in his body is not high. No wonder Dr. Zheng thought that Ning Yu was going to kill him directly when he was watching from the sidelines.

"I need someone," Ning Yu said suddenly.

At first Sinan didn't realize what he was talking about, but in an instant, he realized it.

"I want to re-proportion the virus." Ning Yu repeated in a low voice, looking at Sinan who was handcuffed in the recliner, and said, "I need a living person."

The two looked at each other for a moment, the gold-rimmed lenses blocked Ning Yu's eyes, and Sinan's heart slowly felt a coldness that he had never felt before.

Suddenly a trembling voice broke the silence: "...here...here is..."

The two looked at the same time, and saw Dr. Zheng staggering forward, blocking Si Nan with his body, and then took out a pistol that had been hidden close to him for a long time from his arms, and pointed the gun at Ning Yu: "There is... a living person, He choked up, the muzzle of the gun kept shaking, but the other hand pointed steadily at himself: "I can do an experiment for you."
