Undead

The door panel slammed loudly, Guo Weixiang looked up from the head of the bed in astonishment, and saw Yan Hao rushing in, his face could be described as pale, and he asked, "Where's Chuncao Dading?"

"I went on patrol with someone." Guo Weixiang was puzzled: "What?"

Yan Hao stared straight at him, his eyes were a little creepy, he gasped for a long time before he choked out a sentence: "...I lost Sinan."

"Oh, really." Guo Weixiang turned over a page of the comic book, and said without interest: "Didn't you throw Sinan to Brother Rong long ago, let this first love that ended without a cause die with the wind, deputy captain. Brother Rong It took 30 years of burning incense in this life to catch a blind mouse like Si Nan, but from the perspective of your face, there are still many opportunities for you..."

Yan Hao took the comic book away: "Follow me."

"Hey, what are you doing! Give me back! I finally borrowed the latest words from someone!"

Yan Hao ignored Guo Weixiang, who was mad, and blew into the back room like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, he had already grabbed a miniature submachine gun and two tactical backpacks, and threw one of them in front of Guo Weixiang: "The captain told me not to let Sinan be alone. , but I didn't keep an eye on him, he disappeared."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Guo Weixiang opened his mouth in disbelief, and Yan Hao said hoarsely: "He was taken away by people from this base."

"...Team Flower," Guo Weixiang said seriously, "Brother Rong will kill you."

·

"hiss……"

The dizziness caused by the anesthetic still remained in his mind, Zhou Rong opened his eyes, and the world spun in an instant.

"Give him water," a male voice said gruffly.

Cold water was forcibly poured into his mouth, but the reaction of the trained special forces was different from that of ordinary people. Zhou Rong didn't swallow subconsciously but spit it out, and suddenly coughed and woke up.

The carriage kept shaking as it was driving, the sky outside the window was already dark, and the mountain road receded quickly.

Wan Biao was sitting across from him, pointing a gun at Zhou Rong's head, and there was a big and three rough subordinates staring at him.

Zhou Rong closed his eyes forcefully, his vision gradually adapted to the dim sky, "... What time is it?"

"Five o'clock." Wan Biao said coldly, "You sent more than 20 of my men to the emergency room, don't move around, or I will really destroy you."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Get on board."

"Where's my team?"

"The girl, the country boy, and my people went out to patrol the base. I will also send the little white face and the second generation of officials later. Don't worry, none of you will be missed, and all of you can get on the boat."

Zhou Rong rubbed the center of his eyebrows vigorously, indifferent to the muzzle of the gun that was just a few feet away, and asked, "Where is my wife?"

"Your wife?" Wan Biao grabbed Zhou Rong's neckline, seeming to find it ridiculous: "I don't understand, the lives of all of you are in our hands, it's the best of benevolence to send you out to sea with delicious food, and you are still here Got an inch?"

Zhou Rong said lazily: "Speak well, don't move."

Zhou Rong's appearance is too oily and doesn't look like a special soldier, even the recruits who have just joined the army are more serious than him.Wan Biao's last sliver of gratitude for Zhou Ronggang's busy defending the city in the middle of the night disappeared completely. He just wanted to punch him and took a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress the thought.

"The one named Si Nan," Wan Biao pointed his gun at Zhou Rong's forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care if he is your wife, your parents, or your ancestor. Dr. Ning said that there might be antibodies in his serum, and he is For all human beings, he should stay for experiments, do you understand?!"

Zhou Rong thought for a moment, then said solemnly: "You are right."

Wan Biao: "..."

"I marked him. He is indeed my wife. I was raised by the people's tax-paying government. He is the people. It is okay to say that he is my food and clothing parents. As for the ancestor, everyone in the team knows that he is our little ancestor. , so you are indeed right..."

Wan Biao couldn't bear it anymore, and hit Zhou Rong backwards with a backhand shot!

Blood slowly flowed down from Zhou Rong's forehead, that subordinate was already stunned, and Wan Biao couldn't help panting angrily.

"Haha..." Zhou Rong didn't seem to feel the pain at all, he rubbed the blood with his hand, stuck out his tongue to lick it, and the corner of his mouth evoked an undisguised smirk: "Why can't you take a joke, buddy?"

Wan Biao said, "Who the hell is joking with you?" He held it in his throat, and saw Zhou Rong's complexion suddenly changed, and his sloppy smile disappeared without a trace: "——Dr. Ning Yu said that there may be There are antibodies, Romuel came to your base and said?"

"……do not know!"

"Eighty percent."

Zhou Rong lay on his back on the back seat, a trace of blood soaked his temple hair, making his handsome features look even more sinister.But he didn't seem to notice it, and murmured thoughtfully: "So Romuel traveled thousands of miles to China to find him, because he knew that Sinan was the key to survival in the last days... But if Sinan really had the antibody, why did Romuel need electric shocks? How about torture him? Just tie him back and draw his blood? It doesn’t make sense logically.”

Wan Biao didn't understand what he was saying, but subconsciously became nervous: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Rong ignored him:

"Unless Sinan knows a secret that is more precious and crucial than antibodies, Romuel will not hesitate to torture him to know the answer... But it is impossible, what is more important than antibodies? Unless Sinan has no antibodies at all, or his Antibodies don't work for the average person."

Wan Biao's eyes widened: "What... what did you say? Impossible, Dr. Ning asked Dr. Zheng, that Sinan was bitten by a zombie but not infected, he must have antibodies!"

Zhou Rong rolled his eyes, seeming impatient: "So what?"

"What's the matter, then he should stay and do experiments! People all over the world are waiting to develop a vaccine..."

"Should?" Zhou Rong asked coldly.

Wan Biao choked up.

"No one owes anyone in this world, and nothing should be done. If you really want to say yes, even if Sinan's serum can really save the world, you have to explain the situation to him and get his consent before doing the damn experiment. The fuck is the real 'should'!"

Zhou Rong suddenly got up and roared, Wan Biao shrank back subconsciously, and immediately became angry after reacting: "You, what are you doing?! What do you know, what if he disagrees? What if he is greedy for life and afraid of death?! You people like this People don't understand anything at all..."

Zhou Rong was extremely arrogant, pointing his index finger at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him: "I'll tell you what kind of person Sinan is. He took the risk to save us when he had never known him before. Others risked their lives at the cost of being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies without flinching... He is much braver than you cowards who are huddled in the surviving base!"

"If he thinks his serum can make a vaccine, he will draw the last drop of blood for you!" Zhou Rong's roar was deafening, the man next to him didn't dare to move, and Wan Biao was speechless with trembling lips Come on, I can only stare at Zhou Rong in a daze: "—but you tied him up! Hypocrisy! Villainous! Generosity of others, the mother of saints! You are still here talking to me about whether you should or should not, get out of your mother of!"

Boom!

The body shook violently, as if it had hit something, and the driver slammed on the brakes.

Everyone swayed under the action of inertia, and looked back at the front of the car at the same time.Wan Biao's scolding was abruptly blocked back, only to hear the trembling voice of the driver coming from the front: "Wan, Brother Wan, something seems wrong..."

In order to save power, unless the visual conditions are very poor, the base will not turn on the lights when driving on this familiar mountain road.Everyone was silent for a while, only listening to the cold wind whimpering in the wilderness outside the car window, as if the wailing of a wronged soul was swiftly sweeping from afar.

--boom!

A rotten hand slapped heavily on the side window!

There was a series of bangs, bangs, and the driver immediately turned on the high beams. Everyone was stunned for an instant.

As far as the eye could see, dozens of zombies staggered from the mountain road and surrounded the car.In the wilderness not far away, more zombies were coming densely, and soon gathered into a spectacular crowd of the living dead.

"Brother Wan," the driver burst into tears immediately, "It's over, it's over..."

Wan Biao blurted out: "Reverse the car quickly! Quick!"

The driver backed up in a hurry, but in a panic, he shifted the wrong gear and almost hit the guardrail.Just at this juncture, only hearing the cracking sound of the car window, several withered hands stretched into the car at the same time!

"Ahhhh-"

The driver and his subordinates collapsed and screamed at the same time, and Wan Biao was caught off guard by the zombies.At the critical moment, Zhou Rong rushed forward and snatched his gun, and shot the zombie who caught him to the head, shouting: "Don't shout! Shut up!"

Wan Biao brushed past death, and his mind went blank for an instant.

Zhou Rong drew his dagger with his backhand, cut off the arms of several zombies who were scratching through the car window, grabbed the driver who was about to urinate, pushed him to the co-pilot, and then squeezed into the driver's seat.The others didn't react in great fear. Zhou Rong had already shifted gears, reversed the car, and knocked over two or three zombies amidst the screeching sound of tires rolling, followed by a neat three-point U-turn.

Bang!

With a few cracking sounds of bones, Zhou Rong pushed the zombie who had rushed to the car door onto the road guardrail, squeezing the corpse so hard that it deformed, and then stepped on the accelerator to the end!

A steady stream of zombies roared in, but the jeep was already running at full speed and flew out!

The jeep roared all the way, leaving behind the zombies that were constantly swarming up from all directions.However, under the light of high beams, in the wilderness farther away, countless zombies are gathering into an army, trekking towards the base.

The driver stammered and asked, "How...how is it possible, where did it come from, how could it be like this..."

Wan Biao was actually terrified, but he still had a bit of courage. He bit the tip of his tongue suddenly and forced himself to calm down: "Don't panic, I'm afraid of a fart! As long as we report back to the base quickly, the base will definitely be defended." live!"

"But, but this formation is bigger, much bigger than the previous two days..."

"Shut up!" Wan Biao said angrily, "I defended it two days ago, so don't be afraid now! Besides, I'll beat your ass out!"

The driver was so frightened that his face turned pale and white, and his teeth were chattering.The subordinate was trembling visibly on the side, at this moment he suddenly choked out a sentence: "We, we shouldn't go back."

Wan Biao scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"We shouldn't go back!" The subordinates broke down: "It's too many, you see, there are at least tens of thousands! We should, we should continue to go to the port, and get on the ship before it's too late!"

Both the driver and Wan Biao were stunned, and then Wan Biao flew into a rage and punched the man on the seat: "Shut up for me! Are you talking human? Whose wife and children are not at the base?" Li, are we going to go like this—”

boom!

The bullet grazed past his ear, and his subordinates froze.

Zhou Rong was driving with one hand and held a gun in the other. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the head of the bodyguard behind him, and his sharp and gloomy eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror.

"My wife was detained by you." He said lightly, "Anyone who doesn't want to go back, get out of the car now."

His hands trembled, and he peed his pants slowly.

·

The night, which symbolizes gunpowder and death, descends, and the base is like an impregnable castle in the night.The high beam lights flashed from the end of the mountain road, the jeep roared and sped, and Wan Biao's hoarse roar was heard from a distance: "Open—the door—"

In the sentry post, several guards poked their heads out: "Brother Wan?"

"Brother Wan is back, so fast?"

"Open the door—!" Wan Biao roared sharply: "The zombies are coming! Level [-] combat readiness!! Open the door—!!"

The jeep rushed into the base almost clinging to the slammed open gate.Before the car stopped, Zhou Rong had already jumped down, and saw two people rushing out of the duty room not far away, they were Chuncao and Ding Shi.

"I knew there was a ghost! Didn't you say that Brother Rong and Sinan went to the boat?!" Chuncao dragged a guard and roared: "What's going on? What are you doing?!"

The subordinate was still irrational: "Sister Chen said, Captain Zhou set out while you were on patrol, and told you to meet at the port as soon as you came back..."

Zhou Rong didn't say anything, stepped forward and unloaded his gun and stuffed it to Chuncao, and then kicked the man so that blood spurted wildly and flew several meters away.

Chuncao and Ding Shi said at the same time, "Brother Rong!"

"Sinan was kidnapped by Chen Yajing and Ning Yu for in vivo experiments." Zhou Rong said briefly, "I stumbled and was taken away by them and sent to the boat. On the way, I found a large number of zombies walking towards the base, so I fled back."

The people in the surrounding bases were coming over aggressively to settle accounts, but when they heard this, their expressions changed instantly.

Wan Biao rushed over, rolling and crawling: "Sound the alarm! Hurry up! Tens of thousands of zombies are gathering towards us, call everyone to come out!"

Zhou Rong stretched his legs, tripping Wan Biao so hard that he fell into the mud.

Others couldn't stop him, but Zhou Rong slammed Wan Biao onto the ground with his knees, and strangled Wan Biao's neck with his elbow.

"Where is Simon?"

Wan Biao's face was red with blood, but he didn't say a word.

Chuncao reacted, and immediately stepped forward and put a gun against Wan Biao's head: "Do you want to say it? If you don't say it, my mother will burst into tears!"

"Don't come here!" Ding Shi raised his gun and pointed at the surrounding people, shouting majestically.

"You can choose not to say it, but we can also kill you now." Zhou Rongfu whispered into Wan Biao's ear, his tone was like a devil's cold whisper: "Then we will kill everyone here, open the gate, and let everyone Zombies poured in, dragging the lives of tens of thousands of people in this base to hell together..."

Wan Biao's face twitched violently, and he couldn't believe what he heard: "You, you... aren't you an officer?!"

Zhou Rong said coldly: "Oh, do you believe that there are good people in the government? How can I look like a positive person?"

Wan Biao: "..."

The sound of the siren pierced the night sky of the base, and the guards from the high guard post shouted in fear: "Here we come! I saw it!"

Everyone was stunned, only to hear the guard utterly frightened: "Tens of thousands of zombies are coming from the north, hurry up and prepare your weapons! Tell Sister Chen—!"

Those who are ruthless and afraid of being in a daze, those who are in a daze are afraid of dying, Zhou Rong is the one who is completely desperate—the situation is extremely urgent, Wan Biao finally collapsed.

"The southernmost part of the abandoned dormitory area, underground of the research institute, there is a secret... a secret laboratory." Wan Biao swallowed, and said hoarsely: "Ning Yu usually stays there, and all the research materials are in..."

Zhou Rong pinched his throat and forced him to stand up: "You go with me."

"No! I want to sit in command, and deploy weapons and personnel..."

"Don't fucking talk nonsense to me." Zhou Rong interrupted roughly: "Ding Chuncao, you two stay here to coordinate and command, let this bunch of trash open all the arsenals. Go and tell Guo Weixiang to come here to help defend the city, call Yan Hao went to the laboratory to find me, hurry up, you know why."

Chuncao said without hesitation, "Yes!"

"Listen, we don't want anyone to die." Zhou Rong put a gun to Wan Biao's forehead, his eyes were cruel and fierce, but every word was so calm that it made people creepy: "I hope everyone can live through tonight safely, But don't force me, otherwise I will always find a way to make each of you pay the price...I have killed more people than you have killed zombies, understand?"

Wan Biao stopped in front of the car door, gasped for breath, and tried to stabilize his voice for a long while: "Understood."

"Very good." Zhou Rong pushed him hard into the car, and said, "Take me to that damn laboratory now, and always pray for your life that my Sinan is still alive."

·

At the same moment, the experimental hall.

Ning Yu narrowed her eyes and stared at the muzzle of the gun not far away, then moved her gaze up, and smiled mockingly: "Now it's too late to think about the safety of the savior."

Dr. Zheng roared: "You promised me that I would just take blood serum and detain him for a period of time. You didn't say you would use him for live experiments! You, you want to study vaccines, can't you use me for experiments? Am I not a living person? !"

"Don't be naive," said a voice from behind him.

Dr. Zheng turned his head subconsciously, and saw that the person who spoke was actually Si Nan, who had been reluctant to look at him, let alone talk to him from just now. At this moment, there was a movement in front of him, and Dr. Zheng reacted, and immediately turned his head and pointed firmly at Ning. Yu.

Ning Yu had already come out from behind the test bench, stood still when she saw this, and sneered silently.

"What, what do you mean?" Dr. Zheng was already confused in desperation, and stammered.

Si Nan said flatly: "He originally planned to use you as the next experimental subject. If you fail, he will try to arrest a few more people until a major breakthrough is made in the serum research. This period may take weeks, months or even A few years, but one day his test subject will be my turn, and I can't avoid it."

Dr. Zheng subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Si Nan fell silent and didn't answer him any more, as if he had fallen into some kind of thinking.

The experiment hall was quiet and silent, the air was so tense that it was almost stagnant, as if cold gel filled everyone's nostrils.

After a long time, Sinan suddenly said softly: "...you improved the virus."

Dr. Zheng stood there stunned, while Ning Yu raised her hands reservedly and clapped her hands: "Continue talking."

"The zombies we found outside the base, as well as the zombies that bypassed the guards and came to besiege the city two nights ago, all have the primary intelligence and instinct of hunting animals that live in packs, because you have improved the original virus."

Sinan paused for a moment, then continued: "The reason why the Pandora virus is difficult to conquer is not only because it has never been seen before in human history, but more importantly, its state is extremely unstable. For example, the HIV virus, which cannot be cured, can A day and a half completes its life cycle, whereas a zombie virus does so in minutes; it spreads with unimaginable changes in structure and function, making it difficult to develop an effective vaccine against the situation."

"Oh, did Dr. Fellman name it Pandora?" Ning Yu raised his eyebrows: "Human beings finally know its name after billions of their compatriots have been killed. It's really gratifying."

Si Nan didn't talk to him about it.

"I don't know what method you used, whether you used Pandora to co-exist with other viruses, or used other means to slow down its mutation speed... In short, you allowed the virus to complete its evolution and become a new type of...organism."

"Compared with ordinary zombie viruses, the evolved new virus has some changes in the symptoms of infection: the infected show extremely low-level intelligence and biological instincts, so the zombie group is more cunning and difficult to deal with. But at the same time, the new virus The speed of mutation has been greatly reduced, making it possible to be conquered..."

Si Nan said slowly: "In other words, it can be cured now."

Dr. Zheng listened dumbfounded, with an expression on his face as if he had been struck by lightning.

Ning Yu put her palms together, as if she was meditating on something, and admitted after a while: "It's not symbiosis, it's decoding."

"I unraveled the last link unknown to humans in the Pandora virus gene, allowing it to complete its final evolution."

"...Pandora's box has been opened, there is no antidote in this world, and I can't do anything..."

"From now on, there will be no gods, and humans can achieve eternity by themselves!"

"The punishment of Prometheus for stealing the fire is completely annihilated under the flames..."

At that moment, fragments of memory poured down from his mind like snowflakes. Sinan frowned, gasped and raised his head.

"And I am not the first person to do this," Ning Yu said calmly, "Although there is no evidence, I am sure that the first person to do this is Dr. Alyssa Fairman. Because she The virus has initially developed some kind of antibody, and her only child—you, has been receiving alternate injections of the virus and the antibody since a few years old, and your immune system has reached a state of perfect symbiosis with the virus.”

Sinan closed his eyes hard, trying to catch more clues from Chaos' mind, but he failed.

Whenever he tried to recall something, severe dizziness and tingling pain swept through his entire consciousness like needle pricks.

"So you are right. I will continue to conduct experiments until I analyze the perfect balance between the new Pandora virus and the antibodies in your body, and then develop a vaccine."

Ning Yu smiled as he talked, put one hand in the pocket of his white coat, and stepped forward leisurely: "And you, as the key to verify the above theory, must be the last position in this life-and-death battle for human beings... Are you going around?" Not open."

"Stop, stop!" Dr. Zheng reflexively shouted: "Stand there and don't move!"

Ning Yu walked up to Dr. Zheng, put his chest against the muzzle of the gun, and said casually, "Shoot."

"..."

"I'm a vicious murderer with at least a hundred lives in my hands. Come and shoot me. Why not?"

Dr. Zheng's hand holding the gun trembled violently. Ning Yu squeezed his wrist, snapped it as quickly as lightning, then unloaded the gun, and threw it far into the corner.

"Coward," he scoffed.

bang bang bang!

The alloy door of the laboratory was suddenly slapped heavily, and Ning Yu didn't look back: "What?"

"Dr. Ning, the base has issued a special alert." The voices of the subordinates outside the door could not hide their fear: "Zombies... Zombies are coming again, tens of thousands of them have surrounded the gate."

Everyone changed color at the same time!

"Wait," Ning Yu said briefly, walked quickly back to the test bench, swept a pile of test tubes and materials such as serum into the medicine box, held it in his hand, opened the alloy door, and walked out.

"—You stay here," he cast a final glance at Sinan, and warned, "No matter what happens, don't come out."

Immediately afterwards, he pressed a button outside the door, and slid the alloy door panel silently.
