Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.60 Eight Days After the Invasion【Second Update】

Another body was taken away.

The people on the first and second floors were used to the sudden sound of a gunshot upstairs.Even if there are still people who will look up subconsciously, it has long passed the period of surprise.

They didn't recognize who this misfortune had happened to, they just glanced at it, then turned around and focused on their own business.

Cheng Sheng didn't know how to describe his current mood. He admired the Prime Minister's decision to stay in the Imperial Capital and advance and retreat with all the people in the Imperial Capital. He also admired him for taking the risk to save a child at the last crisis. But on the other hand, the Prime Minister is Those who know the progress of all research and viruses have used concealment methods.

Every decision to end a war before it begins means ever more immeasurable costs and losses, as has always been the case.

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi returned to the room and met Yu Lin and Xu Ying's eyes.

Duan Yi said: "The Prime Minister confirmed the infection."

Yu Lin and Xu Ying gasped.

"Then what... what else are we going to do?" Yu Lin was at a loss.

They came to rescue the trapped Prime Minister. Now that the Prime Minister is gone, what about their mission?

Lu Qi also came over soon—there were not many biters left on the third floor to be observed, and the proportion of infected people made it impossible to hope.

Hearing Yu Lin's words, he said, "We help the police force here maintain order in the Imperial Capital until this place is brought under control, and we are not needed."

He looked at Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi again: "If the research institute needs us, call us at any time."

Cheng Sheng felt that calling Lu Qi's team was no different from calling them to die.

It is already unexpected that the volunteer army of recruits led by Lu Qi survived the journey to the imperial capital and survived until now.

If it wasn't for someone who stimulated the genes of ancient creatures, the whole team avoided the center of the earthquake in advance; if they didn't meet Duan Yi's team when they bumped into the giant python; At night, these soldiers were woken up before freezing to death...

It's not easy to survive this journey.Although these recruits had grown up at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was not enough. Cheng Sheng didn't intend to let them take risks.

"The best help you can do is to restore the order of the Imperial Capital to stability." Cheng Sheng said, and he looked in Yu Lin's direction after speaking, "By the way, remember to take him to take out the bullet."

Yu Lin grinned: "I feel like I've come back to life, much better."

"I even want to burn the wound with gunpowder like in other movies, but I'm afraid of pain." He joked.

Cheng Sheng glanced at Yu Lin coolly: "Fortunately, you are afraid of pain. If you don't have the life of the protagonist in the movie, don't learn this strange method of hemostasis. It's not that you need a hemostatic bandage."

Yu Lin choked.

Lin Qian nodded: "This method of hemostasis depends on the location of the wound, otherwise it is easy to cause another serious injury. But it can indeed play a role in emergency disinfection and sealing the wound. But like you, it's really... unnecessary. "

Lu Qi looked at Yu Lin's deflated look, and smiled with curved lips: "This guy has the heroic complex in those movies in his heart, just like a primary school student."

"Who doesn't have a hero complex?" Yu Lin rolled his eyes. Anyway, he didn't regard the doctor as a summoned elf.

These people were chatting here, and suddenly there was a huge movement on the third floor.

The chandelier above the head shook twice and fell down with a bang.

The people on the first and second floors stared blankly at the direction of the third floor, and saw that the room on the third floor was originally closed for a bitten victim. The wall was blasted open by strange force, and the thick wall ash scattered. No one saw what happened for a while. What's the situation.

Lin Qian's pupils shrank slightly, and he swears in a low voice.

Duan Yi's eyes unconsciously turned into the ice blue color of the animal shape. He took a step forward and said to Lu Qi: "Send someone to appease the crowd, and I will take it upstairs."

"Ah? It? Who?" Lu Qi didn't react.

Cheng Sheng hurriedly reminded Duan Yi: "It should be just a survivor who has stimulated the ancient genes, and it has not mastered its own abilities for the time being. Don't hurt it."

"Okay." Duan Yi nodded in response.

Duan Yi climbed over the stairwell, and with a little effort, he bypassed the blocked stairway and came to the third floor.

At this moment, Lu Qi also had a clear view of the situation on the third floor under the soot. He saw a huge beast of the bear family suddenly appearing on the third floor. It stood up on its two hind legs, with a height of four or five meters, and directly broke through it. overhead ceiling.

"What is this!?" Lu Qi gasped in surprise, not to mention the civilians on the first and second floors, even they were stunned.

"The giant short-faced bear lived in the Miocene 100 million years ago." Cheng Sheng said beside him.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the tall bear beast. "Compared with other types of bears, the biggest feature of the giant short-faced bear is that it has slender limbs, which are enough to support them to stand and walk for a long time."

Lu Qi swallowed, he remembered a theory that sounded like a fantasy that he was told before they set off from the base - something about the stimulation of ancient genes.

Although someone had already produced a pair of huge transparent elytra like insects, when an ancient creature that should have lived for millions of years appeared in front of him, Qi Lu had a little sense of reality for that statement.

He murmured in a low voice: "So this bear... is actually a human being? But why some people can only grow wings, and some people just turn into a bear?!"

Lin Qian glanced at Lu Qi, he almost thought that Lu Qi was hinting at him.

"Every person's genes contain more or less ancient genes. The proportion of ancient genes, the degree of dilution of the bloodline, and the strength of the bloodline itself will all affect the probability of being stimulated and the degree of perfection." Cheng Sheng explained, This was also one of his and his mentor's ideas at the beginning, but before the virus broke out, he never thought that one day he would really see it with his own eyes.

He looked towards the third floor, Duan Yi was standing beside the giant short-faced bear, like a toy of the giant bear.

"This is a fully grown female giant short-faced bear," Cheng Sheng said.

"Is this still a woman?" Lu Qi gasped, but it was really hard to imagine that such a huge creature could be a woman.

"The size of an ancient genetic species has nothing to do with gender, it's about race." Cheng Sheng glanced at him sideways.

Lu Qi coughed dryly, and quickly waved his hands: "I didn't mean that. I just felt very shocked... Hey Duan team can handle it? I'll go and see and help!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately ran to the third floor.

The crowd on the second floor had been evacuated by Lu Qi's men and came to the ground floor. Everyone looked upstairs in horror, and couldn't help asking everywhere: "What is that!?"

"My god, how could a beast appear out of thin air on the third floor?!"

"Are we going to stay here? Aren't we going? Is it safe to stay here?"

"The bear—is it a bear? Won't it come down? Won't it attack us?"

Lu Qi's soldiers could only try their best to appease everyone, even if they couldn't guarantee anything, they still said: "It's okay, trust us, the captain will lead that beast away."

"As long as everyone does what we say, nothing will happen to anyone, trust us!"

"Now, please stay where you are, don't move around, and don't leave this building! We can't guarantee that all infected people have left outside the building!"

……

Cheng Sheng listened to the soldiers struggling to appease the panicked people, he paused, and maneuvered the wheelchair to come in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Yu Lin quickly patted Xu Ying: "What is the doctor trying to do?"

Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, she quickly ran to Cheng Sheng, and asked the doctor in a low voice, "What do you need me to do?"

"There's no need to do anything... Oh yes, help me get in touch with the deputy director, and just show her a live broadcast." Cheng Sheng said.

Xu Ying was slightly stunned. Although she didn't know what Cheng Sheng was going to do, she still followed Cheng Sheng's instructions, turned on the communication device, and contacted the base.

Everyone saw Cheng Sheng sliding the wheelchair in front of them. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still gave everyone a strong sense of presence that could not be underestimated.

The noisy crowd unconsciously fell silent.

Cheng Sheng said: "I am an expert in paleontology and infectious disease at the Imperial Academy, and what I want to tell you now is a situation that is likely to change the way of life in the future forever."

"It will appear more and more in your life. Therefore, the country will not hide anything from you. At the same time, I hope you will not panic."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, he pointed behind him.

I saw that the giant beast on the third floor was not as everyone thought, it would attack all those who approached it with fury.

In fact, when it transitioned from its initial frightened state, it has gradually stabilized, even sitting on the floor, looking like an oversized teddy bear in a shopping mall.

Duan Yi and Lu Qi were standing in front of him, as if they were talking, while Lu Qi was completely outsider, standing on the side in bewilderment.

Cheng Sheng glanced back and continued, "I don't know how many of you here have heard of a hypothesis - human genes contain a certain proportion of ancient biological genes, and this biological genes will not affect us. Everyday life, until it is stimulated by some external force, some people will have ancient dominant genes, such as the feet of beasts, the wings of birds, or even a perfect ancient creature."

"Now, the invading infection of some ancient virus from under the glacier, to some extent, stimulates the remaining ancient biological genes in our body. Some people are lucky to resist the virus while their body functions stimulate the ancient biological genes. During the process of being stimulated, the natural and powerful ancient genes will expedite the metabolism of the virus at the same time, completing the two steps of resisting the virus and stimulating the gene."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, the crowd in front of him began to stir, and there were chattering discussions.

Some voices came to Cheng Sheng's ears, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke again slowly:

"People who excite ancient biological genes are no different from you and me, so there is no need to panic and alienate them."

"But at the same time, please don't risk yourself in pursuit of such an extremely small possibility." Cheng Sheng warned, looking at some people with meaning, "I believe you have all seen the proportion of survivors, then Please rein in your hysteria and don't add to the pressure on the city's police officers."

crowd:"……"

Yu Lin listened to the doctor's speech in the room. From the beginning, he opened his mouth dreamily, and at the end, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. The doctor really didn't turn a corner and make people feel uncomfortable.

On the other side, on the third floor, Lu Qi watched helplessly as the huge short-faced bear turned into a woman.

——Under Duan Dui's brief and concise abstract guidance.

Lu Qi felt that if it were him anyway, he wouldn't be able to understand a single sentence.

He saw the woman curled up, her hands tightly hugged in front of her, and he was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off his coat and covered her body, he looked away and coughed dryly: "Wait a minute, I'll look for you Clothes you can wear."

After he finished speaking, he went to look at Duan Yi again, and saw that Duan Yi was already on the first floor, and he probably went down when the other party became a human.

Lu Qi quickly ran downstairs, and ran back as soon as he found the clothes he could put on.

"Here, clothes." Lu Qi didn't look at her, and put the clothes at the other's feet, "I'll block the front for you, and when you're finished, no one can see you."

Behind him came the sound of getting dressed.

After a while, he heard a hoarse female voice thank you from behind: "Okay, thank you, you can turn around now."

Lu Qi turned his head subconsciously, and saw the other party bowed his head and pulled his hair out of his collar.

It was the white-collar woman who was the first to stand up and admit that she was bitten. She looked pretty and delicate, but she didn't expect that she would be the only one who had resisted the infection among all the bitten victims.

The white-collar woman took a deep breath, buttoned her buttons with trembling hands, and asked Lu Qi, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

"Huh? No?"

"Forget it." The white-collar woman exhaled, and she looked behind her, "I... destroyed these?"

"After all, you are so big." Lu Qi joked, then met the other party's expressionless face, touched his nose and closed his mouth - it is indeed not suitable to try to ease the atmosphere with such a joke at this time.

Lu Qi coughed lightly: "Shall I take you down?"

The white-collar woman glanced downstairs. Some looked up at her fearfully, while others looked at her curiously, as if they were looking at a black bear in a zoo.

She said coldly, "No, it's good for me to stay here."

Seeing this, Lu Qi had no choice but to say, "Then I'll bring you some water and food."

The white-collar woman glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Thank you."
