The Scavengers

September 10, at three o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Mo tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He tried his best to think about the solution, and his hair was turning white!

Abilities, upgrades, viruses...

upgrade?upgrade!

Xiao Mo lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, put on his underwear, shoes and socks, and went out.

The young man who didn't really need sleep put down the program he was rewriting, and followed without saying anything.

"Sorry." Xiao Mo said in a low voice when he opened the door.

The young man looked into his red eyes and touched his head.

Xiao Mo's heart softened.

Observation and confinement room in the back building.

Seeing that they came so late, the guard soldiers let them in without asking any questions, although they were curious.

Major General Zhang Hua has given instructions that the two can contact those virus carriers anytime and anywhere. After all, the doctors and researchers in the base are helpless against this new type of virus, and after knowing what this virus is, there is no one. Willingness to be close to patients.

Xiao Mo, who now has the ability to heal, dares to come several times a day.

Xiao Mo walked into the big room.

Linghu was the first to wake up, turning over and sitting up.

While Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong didn't intentionally hide their movements, Kang Lu and the researcher woke up one after another. Lin Xiaofei was still a sleepy child, curled up under the quilt and slept very soundly.

"The result came out?" Linghu asked calmly.

Xiao Mo took a deep breath and nodded, "The virus on your body is called the living dead virus. At present, someone has issued a mission at the base, demanding that all those carrying the living dead virus must be killed before 12:[-] noon today, otherwise the virus will be destroyed. Explode wildly."

The three of them changed color at the same time, and the researcher was the first to jump up, "What are you talking about! Living dead virus? Didn't you say that we are all going to turn into that legendary zombie?"

Xiao Mo did not deny, "There is a possibility."

The researcher sat back on the bed with a plop, his face extremely pale.

Kang Lu seemed overly surprised, her lips trembling and unable to speak.

Linghu pursed his lips tightly, and put his fists tightly on his lap.

"Can't you save us?" Kang Lu asked in a low voice.

Xiao Mo shook his head.

"Then what are you doing here now! By the way, are you trying to kill us? Ah! Are you here to kill us!" The researcher jumped up and pointed at Xiao Mo's nose and shouted.

As soon as Xue Lihong's footsteps moved, the researcher sat back on his buttocks, but then he stood up bravely, "Come here! Be careful that I will bite you, if you die, everyone will die together!"

"If you really think so, you should come secretly." Xiao Mo said to the researcher, intentionally or unintentionally, blocking Xue Lihong's possible attack route.

The researcher was stunned, hugged his head suddenly, and sat down on the bed again. He cried, and a low sob sounded in the room, "I don't want to be a bad person. Before I entered here, I thought I was helping all human beings." That's what Minister Bao told us. When we find out that something is wrong, we can no longer withdraw. Bao Yuezhi said that if we can't make achievements, none of us will end well, but if we can find supernatural powers Secret, that's different, we will rewrite human history. I, I just want to speak with actual results, want to tell my teacher that I am better than his other students, he didn't choose me back then because he was blind , I... violated his teaching, I know that I should not use human body for experimentation, especially because I was reluctant... This is all retribution, retribution! Woohoo!"

Xiao Mo lowered his head.

Linghu put down the kettle beside the bed, he was going to knock the researcher unconscious.

Kang Lu said bitterly and sharply: "I don't know if this is retribution, but no matter what retribution, it shouldn't be retribution to such a young child, right? What is the base planning to do with us now? Are they going to let us stay until the last moment? Or do you want us to kill ourselves?"

Linghu's voice was still very calm, "You don't need to tell us that at twelve o'clock at noon, as long as the soldiers come in with guns and shoot us, everything will be over. Then why are you here now?"

Xiao Mo raised his head, "I came here to try one last time."

The researcher was still crying, but Kang Lu and Linghu straightened up to look at him, and asked in unison, "How do you try?"

Xiao Mo said, "This requires a lot of risk. If I can succeed, then everyone will be happy. If not, everyone will die together."

Hearing the words "everyone die together", Xue Lihong frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Kang Lu snorted coldly, "Since it's all about death, then we'd rather take the risk. Come on, Dr. Xiao."

Linghu naturally had the same opinion.

Although the researcher was still sobbing, he also looked up at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo licked his lower lip, "Now there is another problem, because it is the first attempt, and the person who starts first is also the most dangerous. If Lin Xiaofei is put at the end, then who will come first?"

"Can you tell me what you're going to do?" Kang Lu asked.

"No."

The researcher's sobbing stopped, and he looked around, always thinking that he would be the first to be pushed out.

Linghu got up, "I'll go first, Kang Lu is a lady, so I'll be in third place."

The researcher was satisfied enough to hear that he had escaped the fate of being the first to be tested.

In order to concentrate on the experiment, Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong took Linghu out of the big room.

Just as Xiao Mo signaled Linghu to lie down on the examination table, his and Xue Lihong's walkie-talkies suddenly beeped together.

Who will contact them at this late hour?

Xiao Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the dialogue switch: "I'm Xiao Mo, please speak."

"Xiao Xiao? Is Xiaoxue beside you? I'm Zhang Hua. I have something important to do. Come to the communication room immediately! Hurry up!"

Xiao Mo asked what was the matter, but Zhang Hua refused to say on the intercom, and repeatedly asked them to come to the communication room immediately.

Xiao Mo was helpless, put down the walkie-talkie and looked at Xue Lihong.

Linghu also sat up and said, "Either you go there first."

It could only be like this, Xiao Mo sent Linghu back to the big room, locked the door, and left the observation room with Xue Lihong.

In the communication room, the atmosphere was very tense. Both Cheng Zai and Ma Xiang were there. Both of them seemed to be woken up temporarily, and their eyes were swollen. Ma Xiang probably was middle-aged and stayed up too late, and his bags under his eyes looked particularly serious.

The correspondent on duty at night straightened his hair nervously. He was the first to get the news and was the most stimulated.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong arrived.

When Major General Zhang Hua saw them, he said to Cheng Zai, "It's fine."

Cheng Zai slid the chair and pressed a button on the communication platform.

Before Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong knew what happened, they heard a familiar voice from the opposite side.

"Have Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xue arrived?"

It was General Qiu Feng.

Xiao Mo took a step forward and was hinted by Cheng Zai that he is now in the state of hands-free calling.

"It's me, General Qiu, what happened?"

"Major General Zhang?" Qiu Feng didn't explain immediately, but asked Zhang Hua first.

Zhang Hua gave an affirmative answer: "Now here are all my people."

Only then did Qiu Feng say: "Everyone is here, let me say it again, listen carefully!"

The crowd held their breaths.

Xiao Mo's heartbeat quickened. Is there something important that General Qiu Feng should call urgently in the middle of the night?Must he and Xue Lihong be present together?

Qiu Feng, "Because of the task of the living dead virus, the higher-ups have decided after research that if no one can complete this task before 11:11 noon today, the higher-ups will be on time at [-]:[-], and the higher-ups will report to the East Food Bureau of City H." The base is conducting remote self-destruction procedures!"

Bang!Xiao Mo's head seemed to be hit, they issued a mission to facilitate them to find the virus carriers in the base, but now it seems to be lifting a stone and hitting the foot.

Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong, but found that there was no surprise on the other party's face, as if he had expected this to happen a long time ago.

With so many outsiders around, Xiao Mo couldn't force him to question the young man.

Major General Zhang Hua and Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang were much more nervous.

Major General Zhang Hua frowned, and asked who he was asking: "This base self-destruct program can also be controlled remotely? Why didn't I know?"

Ma Xiang said he did not know.

Qiu Feng replied: "I also just learned that your base itself has a high degree of secrecy. It has the Institute of Aerospace Materials, and the self-destruct procedure is formulated to protect the secrets of the Institute of Aerospace Materials. This time your base The living dead virus appeared. This virus is scary just by its name. Since the mission was released, everyone is very afraid of the legendary zombies appearing. After all, all kinds of monsters appear frequently in the world. The harm is too great, even if it is only possible, the higher-ups have decided that even if a Yucai Research Institute is destroyed, even if a base is destroyed, the signs of this harm must be eliminated!"

Ma Xiang scolded angrily: "Why didn't anyone above inform us? There are more than 2000 living people in the base, have they all forgotten?"

Major General Zhang Hua held him down, "They didn't forget, they just decided to give up on us."

Ma Xiang was so angry that he kicked the chair down.

Major General Zhang Hua calmly said to Qiu Feng: "General Qiu, thank you, thank you for at least notifying us in advance."

Qiu Feng snorted on the opposite side, "I didn't inform you, I didn't want two of my capable officers to die at your place for no reason. But the living dead virus is really annoying, have you found out all the carriers of the virus?"

"should."

"Then why hasn't the mission been cancelled? That 07 organization is very mysterious and powerful. Even if your place is isolated from the world, as long as you can complete the mission, I think it will still have a way to accept it."

"In addition to those people who were unconscious, there were four people who remained conscious."

"...So you can't do it?"

There is no need to answer this question, the silence of the audience shows everything.

Qiu Feng sneered, "Okay, then let me be the bad guy. I suggest you kill these people right away. If you are afraid of resentment, then tell them that I, Qiu Feng, asked for it. Let them turn into ghosts and come to me!"

Major General Zhang Hua rubbed his forehead, "General Qiu, this matter has nothing to do with you. Originally, we thought we still had a little time, and wanted to try again to see if we could solve this virus before the mission deadline."

Xiao Mo interrupted Major General Zhang Hua, "General Qiu, I still want to try, there are women and children among those virus carriers..."

"You think I don't want to protect women and children?" Qiu Feng turned his face and scolded before he finished speaking: "How many people are the virus carriers? Is it important for those people, or the people in the entire base? If this living dead virus is really a legend Zombie virus in China, have you ever thought that if you let go of these people, you are killing the whole world? A few people or billions, which is more important? Don’t fucking tell me about benevolence, morality and human rights at this time! If it weren’t for you The two boys are stuck there, and I agree with starting the self-destruction procedure of your shitty base immediately! Don't say that I don't have backache when I stand and talk, if this virus appeared in my own base, I would have killed all the suspects. Destroy it until there is no dregs left!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang wanted to curse back, but was stopped by Major General Zhang Hua.He understood that what Qiu Feng said was just trying to dispel their guilt, so that they could do something to those virus carriers.

Major General Zhang Hua said: "I know what to do. General Qiu, thank you for your guidance. Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xue are fine, and I will protect them well."

Qiu Feng seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and his voice softened by an octave, "Zhang Hua, I know you, your father and I are old acquaintances, after you come out, if there is any trouble in base H, you can Find me, I can't do anything else, but I can still send some people to support you."

Zhang Hua raised his eyebrows. This promise is not small. He has been trapped underground for such a long time. After he gets out, the original H base may not have his seat, even though he is the military leader in name of that base.But if Qiu Feng, a powerful general with material resources, supported him behind him, everything would be different.

Qiu Feng turned around and said: "I know that Xiao Xiao is capable, but you can't use it to your death. That kid is a bit reckless, and he is soft-hearted and emotional. You let him come into contact with those virus carriers every day. I can't bear it, let him go if I should let him go, there are many things Xiao Xiao can do, don't let him fall into this matter. Huh?"

The last word, um, is very light, but also full of threats.

Zhang Hua smiled wryly. Is this the family's quarrel?However, they really relied too much on Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong, and the matter of the living dead virus was almost entirely on the two of them, and they hardly cared about it.

"Xiao Xiao!" Qiu Feng looked for Xiao Mo again.

"Yes." Xiao Mo also admired General Qiu Feng and had a headache. This man can control so many thorns under his command, and his methods are simply leveraged!In the past, Xiaohong told him not to expose his ability too much, so he asked people to secretly take him to the injury camp, so Qiu Feng was able to say that he was a bit resigned and soft-hearted.

In the end, Qiu Feng didn't say much to him, he just said: "Protect yourself and think about your family."

Xiao Mo could tell that this was not a threat, but genuine concern.

At the end of the communication, Xiao Mo said without waiting for Zhang Hua to say anything to him first: "I want to try again. If I really can't solve the virus on those people, I will give up before 11 o'clock."

Zhang Hua was silent for a moment, "Ten o'clock."

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth, "Okay, ten o'clock!"

Major General Zhang Hua didn't know whether he was worried about Xiao Mo's soft heart, or other unexpected things happened, so he sent four soldiers to follow the two of them.

Xiao Mo couldn't refuse, so he could only take them with him.

Back in the observation room, there were quite a few of the ten virus carriers.

In the name of not being disturbed, Xiao Mo asked four soldiers to wait outside.

The soldiers thought about it for a while and asked him to leave the door of the observation room open.

Xiao Mo opened the door as he said, and called Linghu out of the big room according to the order just agreed.

Before calling Linghu out, Xiao Mo asked Xue Lihong in a low voice and quickly: "Did you think that the higher-ups would start the destruction process for the base when you issued that mission?"

Xue Lihong said honestly: "I didn't know there was a self-destruct program in the base, but I guessed that they would take action. After all, the threat of the living dead virus is much greater than other viruses."

"You're not afraid of..."

"What are you afraid of? As long as we solve the mission target before the time limit, all external threats will disappear. If they really want to make sure that they want to destroy us after our mission is completed, then I have a way to protect you and me. "It's just that the price is a little high. If you can use it, it's better not to use it."

These words were too loud, and the young man's expression was so calm, Xiao Mo waved his hand feebly, not wanting to say anything.

Linghu came out, Xiao Mo held his wrist, closed his eyes, and tried to start!
