Undead

"Try to rest as much as possible within a week, and wait for the blood to be absorbed by yourself." The doctor combined the report and said: "During this period of time, do not use your eyes, and do not hit your head. The patient's own immunity is very strong, and there will be no major problems. of."

Zhou Rong thanked the doctor, took Si Nan's hand, and led him out of the infirmary.

In the afternoon of the next day, the aircraft carrier finally landed, and what everyone saw was a group of giant artificial islands in the vast South China Sea.

Dozens of large and small islands are dotted around the main island, which covers an area of ​​20 square kilometers. It was originally the result of [-] years of reclamation and land reclamation projects. Now it is the national strategic command center and the largest refuge in the last days.

Following the design idea of ​​the underground shelter of the B military region, the main island is also divided into four major areas: management communication, energy production, defense armament and resident business.Warships shuttle between the mainland and the archipelago every day, bringing back ship after ship of survivors from the war-torn land.

The garrison was lost after the withdrawal of the 118th regiment, but General Zheng Xiezhong took over the follow-up matters of the special forces, took special care of Zhou Rong and others, and placed them in the double dormitory building of the main island military region.

The warm wind sweeps across the ocean, bringing a pleasant atmosphere of early spring. The green treetops beside the dormitory buildings sway slightly and rustle in the sun.

Zhou Rong stood in front of the corridor of the dormitory building, looking at the clean streets and green belts.Dark green military vehicles shuttled back and forth, and the blue sea made waves of waves in the distance, and the wind blew his short hair and collar. Everything was so peaceful and orderly.

As if the bloody escape for half a year was not real, the near-death battle just a few days ago suddenly became a very distant thing.

General Zheng Xie completed the matter personally explained by the boss very quickly, and the promotion documents for Zhou Rong and others came down that day.Zhou Rong was promoted two grades in a row, Yan Hao, Chuncao, Ding Shi, and Guo Weixiang were each promoted one grade, and the [-] comrades who died in the Sixth Squadron were all promoted two grades as a show of compensation.

General Zheng Xiezhong personally came to ask for Zhang Yingjie's ashes to be buried in the cemetery temporarily circled by the military.In fact, the environment in the cemetery is good and there are few ashes. After all, most of the dead soldiers can't even keep their remains, and there are more honor monuments engraved with the names of the martyrs; but Zhou Rong declined without thinking.

"I promised Yingjie to go to the Northeast to find his wife and children, and then give the ashes to the family."

Lieutenant General Zheng Xie did not insist: "Although it does not comply with the regulations, you can call the shots."

The old lieutenant general had an obvious bruise at the corner of his wrinkled eye. Zhou Rong couldn't help but glanced at it several times. Zheng Xie raised his hand and touched it and asked, "Is it obvious?"

"You are..."

"It fell," the lieutenant general said softly, "I'm getting old, and I can't accept my old age."

Zhou Rong opened his mouth half-open, nodded sincerely, and said to himself that your old man had to look for a long time in the mirror to find the angle of his eyes so that he could accidentally smash the corner of his eye like this, and his wrestling skills are superb.

Then during the lunch break, Yan Hao finally explained Zhou Rong's confusion: "I was beaten by Ning Yu this morning."

Zhou Rong: "Ah?!"

The six people were divided into three dormitories, one for Zhou Rong Sinan, one for Yan Hao Chuncao, and one for Ding Shi and Guo Weixiang.Guo Weixiang hadn’t recovered from his grief, so Zhou Rong asked Ding Shi to come to his dormitory after lunch to give Guo Weixiang a space to be alone; however, Ding Shi found that he was going to be blind even if he stayed in the captain’s room for less than 10 minutes, so he went to the next door crying Pull Yan Hao Chuncao, saying that if you want to be blind, you can't be blind by yourself.

The new establishment has not yet come down, and no one knows which army they should go to train with, so they have to sit in a circle in the dormitory and play cards.Yan Hao made a confrontation and said: "Yes, I went to the staff department in the morning to visit, and everyone next door is discussing this matter."

Chuncao asked: "Is Ning crazy?"

"Old General Zheng went to the Institute of Biochemistry early in the morning to offer condolences, and told the director of the institute that when the military established the South China Sea base, they realized the importance of Dr. Ning and organized several teams to search and rescue him. They always thought he was dead. Next to Dr. Ning, Wenwen listened quietly, and suddenly said: General, I have a question. Why did the military ignore the fact that we sent out several distress signals along the coast last year, but as soon as the 118 special forces sent their positioning, the armed helicopter immediately went to the hospital. Come? Is it true that in the eyes of the military, the lives of special forces are indeed more valuable than those of us?"

Because the 118th unit must be the blue army in every military exercise, it has bloody feuds with the elite army units of several major military regions, and it can be said that they are irreconcilable.But Yan Hao is an exception - after all, he has a good face, and people with a good face are more approachable.

Therefore, Yan Hao can go out and visit at will, and there are usually more sources of gossip than others.

"The person in charge of the research institute was at the side, and his face turned green when he brushed it." Yan Hao described it very vividly: "The entourage around General Zheng also turned green, the air was unusually quiet, and the scene was extremely embarrassing."

Zhou Rong made a counter-six, noncommittal to Ning Yu's question: "What did the general say?"

"General Zheng said: 'How many people across the country are sending out distress signals, and do you know how many soldiers have been sacrificed by the search and rescue forces? As far as the military knows, your survivor base has supplies and weapons that can supply tens of thousands of people to survive, and you need more How will the military rescue you?'”

What Zheng Xie said was the truth - without knowing Ning Yu, the military's search and rescue forces must be used wisely.

More survivors who are struggling on the line of life and death need to be rescued. In comparison, Chen Yajing's base is considered a paradise in the last days.

"After talking and talking, for some reason, Ning Yu suddenly broke down emotionally, and when he went up, he punched General Zheng hard, almost bleeding..." Yan Hao pressed everyone back with a pair of Qs, and Ding Shi threw a punch unexpectedly. To A, I was a little dazed immediately: "Huh?!"

Ding Shi dominated the audience with a pair of Aces. After careful consideration for a while, he shyly threw out a three of spades.

Everyone: "..."

Ding Shi doesn't know how to play cards. He often comes up with a king bomb, and then his hands are full of loose cards that can't be played, so that every time before playing cards, everyone has to fight first to be Ding Shi's next player.

Chun Cao watched numbly as Zhou Rong followed Ding Shi and played cards one by one, and asked, "What happened later, has Ning Yu been taught a lesson?"

Yan Hao also looked numbly at Zhou Rong's fewer and fewer cards: "Of course not. Maybe he needs to write a review, or maybe the research institute will write a review for him."

"Is he so NB now?"

Zhou Rong put down his last single card gow, and said with a smile: "All the manpower is concentrated on researching his new type of zombie virus. Combining the serum of our Comrade Xiaosi, it may be the fastest way to make a vaccine. So Dr. Ning can now Forget it, if he goes to sue Yan Hao for pointing a gun at his crotch, we may have to..."

Yan Hao said coldly: "Just punish me, it doesn't matter."

"...you will have to be packaged by the organization and sent to marry Dr. Ning, a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Yan Hao piled up his sleeves as soon as he threw the cards away, Zhou Rong hurriedly hid behind Si Nan, Yan Hao could only turn back dumbfounded.

"Old Zheng is right," Chuncao asked curiously, "When did Dr. Ning become so crazy that even the general would fight if he said so?"

"Who knows," Zhou Rong smiled and threw down the last card: "Wang Zha! Give money, give money."

What made Ning Yu collapse was not that the military did not rescue him in time, but that some things were completely irreparable during the time when the military did not come.

But Zhou Rong didn't say anything, and stared at the three defeated generals jokingly.The other three had no choice but to beat Ding Shi with tears streaming down their faces, while each took out ten yuan.

Zhou Rong put it away and stuffed it into Sinan's hand: "Hide your dim sum money, and I'll buy you a cream cake later."

Si Nan sat quietly on the floor and "watched" them playing cards, with his legs crossed and his chin resting on one hand, he seemed to be almost asleep.Zhou Rong observed him for a while, and seemed to feel that he was really asleep, so he carefully took out three ten-yuan bills, rolled them into a roll, and pulled away the collar of Si Nan's white shirt, which had loosened two buttons.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to hold the money into Sinan's chest, he suddenly tightened his hand, and Sinan grabbed it accurately, and then leaned closer and kissed him on the wrist.

The room was silent.After a long while, Ding Shi said aggrievedly: "I said I'm going to go blind, but you still don't believe me."

Yan Hao hugged his knees and squatted on the ground, with his back facing everyone, Chuncao squatted beside him and persuaded him earnestly: "Look, do you suddenly feel that marrying Ning Yu is also a good choice..."

Si Nan stood up, took two apples from the fruit plate on the table, and said briefly, "I'll go to the next door to see."

Next door is Guo Weixiang's house, just two steps to the left when you go out.Zhou Rong got up to send it off, but Si Nan waved his hand to stop him, took a bite of the apple, turned around and went out.

"Who is it?" Guo Weixiang's calm voice came from the door.

Si Nan didn't speak, bent down and put another whole apple at his door.

"Who?"

Si Nan supported the wall and walked towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.

After a while, Guo Weixiang finally pulled himself together and opened the door, but there was nothing outside the door.He glanced down, and there was an apple at his feet, and he picked it up inexplicably.

·

Sinan walked downstairs, took the first step out of the corridor, and felt the sun shining on him, making him feel very warm and comfortable.He opened his hands, and the wind passed through his neck, arms and waist, carrying the unique fishy smell of the ocean.

Facing the sun, he let out a long breath, and stretched out his hand to tear off the gauze that had been covered for several days.

The sunlight made his eyes close subconsciously, and then opened suddenly.In front of him was an empty playground. There was no one there during afternoon training. Not far away, under the shade of a tree, a few men in casual clothes were watching his movements closely. He probably didn’t expect him to suddenly pull off his blindfold, and he couldn’t dodge in time, and was hit. one is right.

Si Nan raised the corners of his lips to them, and that smile was somewhat provocative, and then he gnawed on an apple and walked out.

Plainclothes looked at each other, one of them rushed upstairs to inform Zhou Rong and the others, and the others followed not too far away.

In fact, Simon just wanted to stroll around casually.Both he and Zhou Rong knew that he did not have intracranial congestion to the point of resting in bed. There might be some compression on the optic nerve, but there was no need to be blindfolded 24 hours a day.

Depriving the senses is just a gentle and euphemistic method, prompting him to become more dependent on the base in a state where he can't see things.

It wasn't a big deal, but everyone said they had to "cooperate". After nearly a week of cooperation, Sinan was finally not so willing to cooperate.

The base was temporarily rebuilt from a man-made island, but the planning was very good. The white dormitory buildings were arranged in a patchwork manner in the military living area. Across the green belt, soldiers were running and training on the playground in the distance.In plainclothes, I saw Sinan walking leisurely in front, wearing a white shirt and casual trousers, with one hand in his pocket, walking at a leisurely pace; he passed the cafeteria, seemed a little thirsty, turned around and walked in.

The mission accepted by the secret service personnel is not to let this person run around, but also not to arouse the other party's resentment or even alertness, let alone watch him get into trouble.Therefore, after a quick exchange of glances between several people, one of them in plainclothes brought some money and followed in.

However, as soon as he entered the door, the plainclothes was taken aback.

The window for selling food has long been closed, and the cafeteria is empty, except for a piece of white gauze for blindfolds hanging on the vending machine in the corner.

Simon had disappeared.

"Notify the Institute!"

"Go over there and search!"

"Get people back, hurry up!"

……

Messy footsteps passed by like the wind, and after a while, Sinan got out from behind the vending machine, patted the ashes off his body, and walked out of the cafeteria with his mouth curled up like a high school student who had succeeded in a prank.

·

When the sound of knocking on the window sounded, Ning Yu was concentrating on staring at the microscope. After a while, she suddenly looked up and saw Si Nan standing outside.

Ning Yu was taken aback, pushed away the documents on the desk, and opened the door in three steps at a time: "I'm going crazy! Why are you here?"

The laboratory of the military research institute is heavily guarded, and the guards at the door are all armed with submachine guns. God knows how Sinan sneaked in without anyone noticing.I saw dust on the shoulders and back of his white shirt, and asked casually, "Is there a trash can?"

Ning Yu was furious: "Get out! This is a laboratory! Come back in after shooting the ashes!"

Si Nan conveniently stuffed the apple core into Ning Yu's hand, and stood in the corridor to dust it off.

"@#￥O(*(..." Ning Yu's whole body was about to explode: "Are you disgusting! Give me the drool! @#￥..."

"You can use it for DNA analysis," Sinan said with a smile, "Anyway, you have to ask someone to draw my blood every three days."

Ning Yu had no choice but to throw away the fruit core, and washed her hands with soap resentfully.

"Did someone come to tell you that I'm missing?" Si Nan asked while sitting on the only high stool in front of the experiment table.

Amidst the sound of rushing water, Ning Yu said unhappily: "The Secret Service sent people to look for it twice, and the posture seemed to follow the fire into the room. Zhou Rong said that you might just be bored and wanted to go around, but the plainclothes didn't listen. After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Tang should hang himself..."

Sinan: "Go. He scolded Zhou Rong as a hooligan."

Ning Yu: "..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ning Yu asked seriously, "Isn't Team Zhou?"

Anxious yelling came from downstairs of the laboratory again, and it seemed that the Secret Service had started the third round of search.But Sinan paid no attention to it, and Ning Yu didn't say anything, only to see him casually fetching materials from the table and starting to flip through them.

The Nanhai Military Research Institute is responsible for researching viruses and cultivating vaccines. All of Ning Yu's work is the top priority, and the level of confidentiality is the same as that of national leaders.However, Ning Yu didn't stop Sinan from reading his work notes. He just leaned against the test bench and wiped his hands slowly with a disinfectant towel. After a while, Sinan asked unexpectedly: "The simulation experiments all failed?"

"Well." Ning Yu said, "After using the serum, the antigen was quickly swallowed, but the immune system collapsed. In the real environment, even the infected person died. I tried to change the gene chain of the virus, but It doesn't help much..."

Ning Yuzai put on the gloves carefully, and said: "Other experts at the base think that Zhou Rong's recovery is probably a coincidence, but I think it's because the serum antibody has requirements for the genetic level of the infected person."

Simon: "?"

Gene level?

Ning Yu leaned back against the test bench, raised her eyebrows and asked, "If I say 'human beings are born with a difference between high and low', do you agree with this point of view?"

Simon: "Agreed."

Ning Yu: "..."

Ning Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "Be cooperative!"

"I agreed," Sinan said lightly, "I have always thought that my genes are more noble than Alpha, what do you want to say?"

Ning Yu's arguments full of quotations from the classics were abruptly suppressed, and the peerless eloquence had nowhere to use. After a while, he shook his index finger helplessly: "Universal values ​​do not agree with this point of view. Whether it is from the perspective of law, religion or the general moral system, All human beings are created equal; no one in biomedicine would admit that it is not the case, that there are good and bad genetics.”

"Genetics determine a person's innate nature, and the environment determines a person's acquired nature. Some people are born smarter, stronger, more artistic or athletic; the genetic level cannot predict the lower limit of his development, but it is related to the zombie virus In the battle of life and death, the upper limit of bodily function survival is limited."

"In other words," Ning Yu said, "only people with particularly good genes are more likely to overcome the virus and survive after being injected with serum antibodies."

Si Nan closed his notebook and said, "This is just your inference."

Si Nan didn't show obvious emotions when facing anyone other than Zhou Rong, but Ning Yu still felt a trace of dissatisfaction from his flat tone.

"I thought you were not a supporter of the equality of all beings," Ning Yu teased.

Si Nan didn't refute, but replied flatly: "But everyone has the right to live, Dr. Ning."

Ning Yu didn't know what experience she recalled, she suddenly fell silent, her eyes flickered slightly behind the lens.

"Yes." Ning Yu finally spoke again after a long time, paused and said: "But if this inference is proved, then anti-virus vaccines will become impossible, and it is impossible to develop a virus that wipes all Let’s talk about the fact that the genetic level of people has been improved. And the soldiers who went to the front line, are they all given a shot of serum first, and those who are not dead are sent out to save others, and those who are dead are buried and brought down?”

Si Nan gently threw the notebook back on the table, and fell from the high stool to the ground, saying, "There will always be a way."

"No way." Ning Yu said coldly: "I'm not a god, and human intelligence is limited. I think everyone just eats and drinks on the island and waits for death."

Sinan turned the doorknob and paused when he heard that.

"Don't say that, Dr. Ning." He said calmly, "Otherwise I'd have to send you down with a gun and pay for the lives of those 95 test subjects. Do you think it's your turn to eat and drink?"

Ning Yu: "..."

Si Nanshi walked out suddenly, Ning Yu's forehead twitched suddenly, and he chased after two steps as if he suddenly remembered something: "Hey!"

Si Nan waved his hand without looking back, which meant that there was no need to give it away.

"Yesterday, news came from the military that the search and rescue team rescued three nationals of country A from Changsha and sent them back to the base!"

As soon as the words fell, Sinan finally stopped.

"Zheng Xie is going to see them today." Ning Yu said softly, "These people may be your old acquaintances, so I will remind you."

He clicked the lab door shut.

Si Nan froze on the spot for a moment, the voices of people in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the secret service personnel were so anxious that they could not release the police dogs.

The vague hints in Ning Yu's words were like countless thin needles, which made his brows slightly wrinkled and deepened the fine lines between his brows.Suddenly he grabbed the railing and jumped down, landing lightly and silently like a cheetah, and the three flights of stairs came to an end in an instant; armed policemen with submachine guns at the gate were taking turns, and in just half a second, Sinan had come out of the military graduate School.
