Ancient Invasion [End Times]

Days After Invasion [Second Update] Doctor's Comments on Ancient Creatures Duan: Totally Rogue

After the seven members of Chen Nan left, the whole team went on the road again, but everyone seemed very depressed.

"Cheer up! We're only [-] kilometers away from the Imperial Capital!" Lu Qi shouted on the walkie-talkie.

Cheng Sheng's collection card was protected at the security center in the middle, and they also received Lu Qi's walkie-talkie signal.

Hearing this, Lin Qian called up the satellite map.

"This is the peripheral situation of the satellite transmission from Dijing 24 hours ago." Lin Qian said.

Du Nanrong came over to take a look.

On the map, the three colors of black, gray and white are almost blurred together, making it difficult for people to understand what is going on at a glance.

"Is this the Imperial Capital?" Du Nanrong asked.

Lin Qian nodded slightly: "The Imperial Capital 24 hours ago. The outer area seems to be the same as Rindu, covered by something, maybe it's also a vegetation forest."

"Oh. What do these places marked in red mean?" Du Nanrong pointed to the map and asked again.

Lin Qian pursed his lips slightly: "It means a dead zone. It's a seriously infected area."

"This is the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, right? How could there be serious infection?" Du Nanrong was puzzled.

Looking at the map, Cheng Sheng gently ran his fingers along the hair of the big cat on his knee, and said, "The Imperial Research Institute was built near the suburbs, and in order to facilitate the provision of experimental organisms for our research experiments in a timely manner, most of the experimental animals were collected. They are raised in the suburbs within three kilometers from the research institute."

"These red marks... are the places where those experimental animals are raised?" Du Nanrong realized.

Cheng Sheng nodded, and he looked at Lin Qian: "Lin Qian, it's time to call Lu Qi over."

"Got it." Lin Qian replied, and immediately asked Lu Qi to come over through the intercom.

There are several red marked areas, except for the place where experimental animals are kept as Cheng Sheng said, there is also a small airport. Unlike the passenger airport, most of the transported animals in this airport are animals—some are sent to zoos, some There are also experimental animals protected by the state.

Lu Qi pointed to the red mark on the map and asked, "So, doctor, you mean that the number of infected mutant animals here will increase greatly, right?"

"Yes." Cheng Sheng replied, "Usually we choose monkeys and mice as experimental animals, and these two animals are very social."

"Monkey?" Lin Qian swallowed, "King Kong?"

Lu Qi looked at him.

"If the body shape changes to such an extent, at least it will be displayed on the satellite." Cheng Sheng said, "In fact, even if the body shape of most monkeys stimulates the mutation of ancient genes, I'm afraid it won't change." There have been too many changes in size. Even in ancient times, they were never big guys."

"That's really good news." Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, monkeys are very aggressive, especially when they feel restless and hungry." Cheng Sheng warned, "In addition, it is unknown what changes the virus will show on them, so don't let loose. .”

Lu Qi looked serious and nodded: "Understood, doctor."

"This is the route map given by the Duan team before. We superimposed the satellite map, and this is the final display." Lin Qian said, "Other routes are impassable, and the road surface was blown off."

Lu Qi froze for a moment: "Blown up?"

"That's a thrilling story, I'll tell you when I have time." Lin Qian grinned at Lu Qi, but the smile in his eyes was very weak, with a warning, "I hope you and your team are ready In preparation for breaking into the Imperial Capital, we cannot assure you that everyone will be able to enter and exit neatly."

"...I understand what you mean." Lu Qi was keenly aware of Lin Qian's targeting, and nodded.

He understood that this was an internal strife in the team during the day, which caused Lin Qian to issue hints and warnings.

He said, "I believe that the rest of the people are fully prepared."

"In fact, we all volunteered to join this support team. The base has no more regular troops to mobilize to the Imperial Capital." Lu Qi looked at Cheng Sheng and the others.

"Because most of the people in the team have family members in the Imperial Capital, we all volunteered to join the organization," Lu Qi explained.

He pursed his lips slightly, paused and continued: "Badao he... is Chen Nan. In fact, his brother is also in the Imperial Capital. Just a few days ago, we received the news of his brother's sacrifice, but the base hopes that we will not Make this information public."

Du Nanrong took a light breath, he vaguely guessed the follow-up, and also understood the last words that the man said before leaving, he always thought it was aimed at the doctor, but now, he seemed to understand.

Lu Qi continued: "It's just that Chen Nan found out the truth later. He was very angry and felt that he was deceived and concealed."

"Actually, you guys did deceive and conceal him." Xu Ying said coldly.

"I know. But there has never been any good news from the imperial capital. Repeated bad news will only dampen the hope and enthusiasm of the soldiers. There is still a long way to go. With a team without morale, we can't go." Lu Qi looked at Xu Ying, "I believe you should understand this."

Xu Ying didn't speak.

"Concealment and deception have made your team members feel distrust of the base, and this has gone far?" Du Nanrong asked incredulously.

"If he doesn't find out." Lu Qi emphasized, "The premise of making this decision is that we don't intend to let other people know the news, only me and the base know, so there will be no crisis of trust. As for Chen Nan I don't know where I got the news, it exceeded our expectations."

Du Nanrong had nothing to say for a moment, he couldn't understand this kind of approach anyway.

Xu Ying and Lin Qian were silent. They once saw their teammates not be told that their father died of illness until after the mission was over. Although the statement given at the time was that even if they were notified of the news in time during the mission, they would not be able to come back in time. affect the efficiency of task completion.

But the indifference to being delayed in notifying families of the death to ensure the state can get the job done is unacceptable.

Lu Qi took a deep breath, and looked at Cheng Sheng: "Doctor, please trust us, we are all very aware of your criticality to this virus invasion, no matter what the price is, we will escort you in and collect what you want any information."

"I don't need people to die for me." Cheng Sheng looked at him and corrected him, "What I need is not a dead man who goes in with the belief that he must die, but a man who wants to live and return to his normal life , A person with hope."

Lu Qi was stunned. The rest of them were ready to sacrifice, but he didn't expect to hear such a statement from the doctor. He couldn't help being a little dazed: "Is there a difference? Is this not good?"

Lin Qian patted Lu Qi on the shoulder, and said in a tone of someone who had experienced it: "Because hope brings a chance of survival, which is far greater than despair."

Lu Qi pursed his lips slightly, as if he was thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

"Okay, you can go back." Cheng Sheng broke the silence, "Remind them what they are going to face and be prepared."

"The virus has neither conscience nor mercy, but it is not irresistible." Cheng Sheng raised his eyes, looked at Lu Qi, and said in a deep voice, "There must be a way out for those red-marked areas, and we will find out. "

Lu Qi responded, and Cheng Sheng's words made him feel a long-lost steadiness and hope, and made him unconsciously willing to believe in the other party, and he could really find a way out for them.

The team moved on.

As they got closer and closer to the Imperial Capital, their progress became slower and slower.

The abandoned vehicles along the road gradually became denser, so that their travel became more and more difficult.

"There are more and more infected people on the road." Lin Qian looked out the window and said, when he opened his mouth, white mist came out. The temperature in the car was only a few degrees above zero, and he was so cold that he rubbed his hands.

"As the virus adapts more and more to the human body and the environment, the difference between day and night will become smaller and smaller," Cheng said.

He touched the plush creature on his lap, nestled his hands in the soft belly hair of the plush creature, and squinted his eyes half-closed from the warmth: "And the temperature outside is getting lower and lower, which will also be a big boost to the activity of the virus."

Lin Qian looked at the doctor enviously. With such a fluffy hand warmer, he felt comfortable looking at it.

"Duan Duan hasn't woken up all this time?" Lin Qian asked.

They had been driving for nearly three hours, and Lin Qian drove for a while in the middle.

Cheng Sheng looked down at the little thing on his lap. Duan Yi's shrunken beast seemed to be bigger than before, covering Cheng Sheng's knees all over the place. It shouldn't be called a "cat cub". It's a beautiful "big cat".

The little guy's tail curled up in a beautiful tail curl, which seemed to be in a different direction from just now.

He raised his eyebrows and said pointedly: "No. But I think he should know that in the subsequent environment, if he continues to maintain this form, he will immediately become a dead cat."

Lin Qian: "...?"

The beautiful ancient creature shook its ears slightly.

Lin Qian: "..."

The ancient creature, Duan, opened a pair of ice-blue round animal pupils in a daze, with an innocent look, looking at the doctor who was threatening him just a second ago, stuck out his tongue and licked his nose, and gently "owwow "A cry.

Xu Ying's hand holding the steering wheel tightened—why is Duan Que's roar so loud?My heart melted.

Cheng Sheng checked the state of the stone core, and it was all turned into powder.

He reached out and touched the wet triangular nose of the ancient creature, frowning: "Why haven't you changed back?"

The big cat shook its curled tail, swept the powder bag in Cheng Cheng's hand with its tail, and let out a low "ow".

After wailing, the big cat lowered its head and licked the long hair under the stomach that had been messed up by the doctor.

The tip of the big cat's tongue accidentally rolled up and stuffed the fingertips in the long hair on its abdomen.

Cheng Sheng was startled by the hot and humid touch from his fingertips, and the base of his ears was stained red.

He said in embarrassment, "...assuming your head hasn't degenerated into a beast, then you should understand that I can't understand your animal language."

The beautiful ancient creature blinked, with an innocent expression on its face, and let out another "ow", stretched out a white fluffy paw, and lightly grabbed the bag in Cheng Sheng's hand twice.

"I didn't intend to play games with you." Cheng Sheng's fair face was stained red with embarrassment, he frowned and put away the bag.

He heard the big cat let out a clear sigh and crouched down on his lap again.

Cheng Sheng: "...?"

Sigh if you don't play with it?Is this Duan Yi?

Lin Qian coughed lightly, looked at the doctor who was short-circuited in his brain because Duan Dui licked his finger, and opened his mouth to make a rescue: "Doctor, I think what Duan Dui wants to express is that it has something to do with the stone core?"

Cheng Sheng: "..."

The doctor looked down at the powder bag in his hand, then at the innocent big cat, and pursed his lips.

The doctor, who had no strength to restrain the chicken, picked up the back of the big cat's neck, raised his hand and threw it directly to Lin Qian, and snorted coldly: "Then shall I transform him into one?"

Lin Qian subconsciously caught the big cat, stroked its hair twice, thinking, is the doctor angry?

The big cat struggled under Lin Qian's hands.

Lin Qian reacted suddenly, and quickly put Duan Duan down respectfully.

——He not only patted the doctor on the shoulder, but also plucked Duan Dui's hair.

--incredible.

The ancient creature that got off the ground stretched its waist, then jumped up lightly, and lay down on Cheng Sheng's knee again, as if it didn't take it seriously when it was thrown out just now.
