I just want to retire quietly

But, according to Professor Qiao's theory, he should have appeared directly in front of Liang Xian with the deer, just like he would teleport to the tombstone every time, but now there is no Liang Xian in front of him, but a group of zombies instead.

Did Liang Xian really become a zombie?Tan Yan panicked slightly, he was not afraid of the tide of zombies, he was only worried about Liang Xian.

When the zombies saw someone in front of them, they rushed over recklessly. Among them were level [-] or even level [-] zombies. They were the fastest and rushed to Tan Yan in less than a few seconds.

Tan Yan took his time, jumped up gently holding the deer, stepped directly on the head of the third-level zombie, and jumped on the head of the second-level zombie in front of him before it stretched out its claws to grab it.

As if playing hopscotch, Tan Yan moved easily over the zombie's head.The surrounding ionizing radiation was controlled by Tan Yan, which produced a strong Qi that surrounded him. The nails of the third-level zombies were only touched by such "Qi", and the nails were so sharp that they could cut through steel, and they shattered.

"Liang Xian!" Tan Yan searched with difficulty among the zombies, shouting while searching, not caring about attracting zombies.

But Liang Xian couldn't be seen anywhere, so why was he teleported here?

The study these days finally gave Tan Yan some ideas about quantum entanglement. He thought hard, since Xiaolu had quantum entanglement with Liang Xian's consciousness, even if there was no Liang Xian himself in the place he teleported to, there must still be His "consciousness".

In other words, Liang Xian's consciousness appeared in the crowd of zombies.

Guessing this, Tan Yan felt a chill in his heart.He still remembers that zombies above level [-] can control the group of zombies with their own consciousness, and the zombie king of level [-] can control the thinking of humans. , the two will arrive here.

"Can you feel where Liang Xian is?" Tan Yan asked Xiao Lu.

Fawn shook his head, his big watery eyes were full of innocence.

Tan Yan looked at his arm, teleported to the present, and after 1 minute, returned from the tombstone in Ping County to the shopping mall in City B, even if he had to run, it would take half an hour at the fastest.

Considering that this is two round trips and road wear and tear, the safety time is one and a half hours.

He only had three and a half hours to look for Liang Xian.

If Xiaolu didn't feel it, then his only clues now were these zombies.

As long as he is here, the zombies will temporarily forget what they are going to do and concentrate on attacking him.

Then he can't let the zombies find out that they are human.

Tan Yan felt the ionizing radiation around him, like he used to make a human skin mask, and controlled these particles to gather around him and Xiaolu little by little, condensing into a transparent film.

As soon as the membrane covered the body, the zombies immediately stopped attacking. They scratched around Tan Yan in a daze, and after they couldn't find the attack target, they walked slowly in another direction.

The walking speed of the zombies was really too slow. The zombies of the second and third ranks were probably trying to resist this consciousness, so they walked slower, which happened to be about the same speed as ordinary zombies. Tan Yan followed the zombies forward at a turtle speed, feeling secretly anxious.

Time was running out, and he couldn't keep up like this.

Thinking, thinking fast, you can’t think about anything like you used to when time travel, just concentrate on finding the teleportation point and go home.Now he had to think on his own, thinking of a way to find Liang Xian.

The rusty brain was working hard. Fortunately, Tan Yan developed his brain a little for studying these days, and finally had some thinking ability.

An ordinary zombie is a kind of existence without any thinking ability, and can only concentrate on the target.If they were going where, what route would they choose?Will you choose to walk on the main road considering that there are rivers, villages and valleys on the road?

Will not.

So they must be heading in a straight line, and if Liang Xian is gathering zombies, he will definitely meet new zombies on the way to join the team, and he doesn't need to follow only one.

In order to verify his conjecture, Tan Yan grabbed a zombie and turned its body 180 degrees abruptly. The zombie was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and continued to drive forward.

He tried a few more, and these zombies would all try to move in one direction without any exception.

right here!

As long as you follow this direction, you will meet other zombies on the road to guide you.The place where the zombies gradually gather is very likely to be Liang Xian's!

Thinking of this moment, Tan Yan no longer slowly followed the group of zombies, but ran wildly on the ground with the deer.

Xiaolu is the only one in the ability team that can keep up with Tan Yan. It runs happily beside Tan Yan, and keeps calling "Yo Yo", as if urging Tan Yan to ride on its back. Follow Tan Yan to run.

Tan Yan just patted the deer's head, how could he be willing to ride a young deer that didn't even grow horns?

"When you grow up and are faster than me, I will ride you. Don't be anxious now, take care of your body and grow up well. When you become the healthiest deer, I will definitely rely on you. "Tan Yan promised Xiaolu.

"Yoyo~" Xiaolu called happily, which was a promise to Tan Yan.

I'll grow up to be your strength, like the one who instilled this in me.

One person and one deer are running wildly on the road, absolutely not changing direction.When you encounter a river, you step on the river, and when you encounter a village, you cross it.

I met a lot of zombies along the way, and they were also heading in their direction, which strengthened Tan Yan's confidence even more.

After running for about an hour, when the time on the watch pointed to 21:20, the deer suddenly stopped.

This is a small village surrounded by many zombies, but none of the zombies will enter the village.

Some zombies even came out of the village slowly and stopped at the entrance of the village, motionless.

right here!

Tan Yan took the deer into the village, looking for people from house to house.

He smelled a strange smell, very smelly and familiar.This taste is...

Biogas!Tan Yan remembered that when he was a policeman, he had smelled this smell in some places where gas exploded.

It is true that many villages use straw sewage and other organic matter to produce biogas. The biogas produced will provide heating and natural gas for the village. After the organic matter in the biogas tank is fermented, it will become the best organic fertilizer. The biogas produced by the biogas tank kills two birds with one stone. measures.

However, there will not be such a strong biogas smell in the village. Generally, the sealing of the biogas digesters is very good. After all, it is a flammable gas, and safety measures must be taken.

Why do zombies gather near the village where the methane is produced?

Looking along the way, Tan Yan saw that many biogas digesters were poorly sealed, and each biogas digester had huge pipes. After looking at them several times in succession, he would find that these pipes all lead to one place.

Tan Yan and Xiaolu walked along the pipeline, and the end of the pipeline turned out to be a granary near the village.

This village is obviously a village rich in grain. The granary is very large. Tan Yan opened the door of a granary. The granary is well sealed and smells like methane inside. If there is an open flame, it will be ignited immediately.

Every granary is like this, the airtightness is particularly good, but the pipes are a little rough, allowing some biogas to overflow.

It seems that the pipes were made under very bad conditions, and they were even spliced ​​together from other places, so they leaked methane.

A guess gradually emerged in Tan Yan's mind. He searched one after another, and finally saw a lying person in front of the biggest granary.

The man was dressed in the uniform of an ordinary granary worker, with a large winter cotton hat on his head, the hat was low, and only his chin could be seen.With his left hand resting against the wall of the pipe, leaning against the door of the granary, he seemed to be asleep.

Tan Yan walked over slowly, squatted in front of the man, opened his hat, and it was Liang Xian.

Liang Xian's face was normal, without the bluish-white characteristic of zombies. He looked as normal as Director Li that day. I don't know if he is a human or a level five zombie.

But from the arrangement of these pipelines and biogas, as well as the extraordinary movements of the zombie group, Tan Yan can probably guess what these equipments are for.

He walked all the way in a straight line without encountering a human base. If the final location of this zombie wave is here, no one will be injured.

Even if Liang Xian really turned into a level five zombie, he didn't think about hurting anyone, but instead thought about how to get rid of the zombie.

Xiao Lu said "Yo Yo" twice, stepped forward and arched the beam, but he didn't move, he was still asleep, as if he was dead.

Tan Yan flustered for no reason, it was a feeling she had never felt before.

Such an excellent young man, smart and kind, sincere in emotion, brave to face himself and face his feelings, frank and sincere.Even if he is left in a world that does not belong to him, he still abides by his responsibilities and contributes all his strength to the country and the people.

If such a person really died, it would be a great loss to the country and the people.

Tan Yan rested his head tremblingly on Liang Xian's heart. When he fought with Director Li before, he found that although the fifth-level zombies were no different from humans in appearance, they had no heartbeat.Zombies are actually dead. Even if they regain consciousness, their way of thinking is different from before, and they are no longer human beings.

With Tan Yan's hearing ability, he didn't need to press his chest to hear it.But now he feels a little tinnitus, and he doesn't want to believe his hearing, as long as he is close to his heart, as long as there is a heartbeat, at least he can still feel the vibration.

He stuck to it quietly, feeling nothing.

"Yo~" Xiaolu kept arching Liang Xian's head with his mouth, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his face, as if trying to wake him up.

As witty as a deer, he doesn't understand what it feels like to die.

Tan Yan listened for a full minute, but still got nothing.He leaned against Liang Xian's heart like this, his face was slightly wet.

Perhaps if he were to kill Liang Xian with his own hands, a tough man like Tan Yan would not shed tears.But seeing Liang Xian's arrangement and seeing him sleeping against the granary door, Tan Yan cried uncontrollably.

Even if he becomes a zombie, he can't forget his mission. Can such a zombie be said to be a soldier?Can he deny his human identity?

Tan Yan hugged Liang Xian and said softly, "Liang Xian, I'll take you home."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft pulsating sound in his ear, and Liang Xian's chest trembled slightly.

Tan Yan quickly put his hand under Liang Xian's nose, still not breathing, but there was a heartbeat, although it was weak and slow, and the interval would take a long time, but it really did.

Little by little, beating weakly.

"Liang Xian, are you a human now? Or a zombie? Can you hear me?" Tan Yan asked softly in Liang Xian's ear.

Liang Xian didn't move.

Tan Yan took out the note from his bosom. Qiao Zhixue, who had a very low EQ, wanted to archive this note as the data for the first space transmission in the history of quantum transmission. This note will be recorded in history in the future. It represents the coming of an era.

But Tan Yan didn't agree, he said it was Liang Xian's note, and it was up to Liang Xian to decide whether to make it public.

Holding the note, Tan Yan whispered in Liang Xian's ear, "I have received your birthday present."

Liang Xian's eyelashes trembled very weakly, and the keen Tan Yan immediately caught this movement.

With his eyesight, he would never be wrong. Liang Xian reacted to his words, especially the sticky note.

"If you want to respond, I have already told Xiaolu once. But Xiaolu can't pass on the information like you, so I need to tell you again." Tan Yan said in a calm voice.

Liang Xian moved his fingers touching the pipe wall.

Tan Yan felt relieved when he saw that his movements had stopped. He looked at his left hand, it was normal and there were no bite marks, so the right hand was injured.

Liang Xian's right hand was inserted into the pocket of the overalls. Tan Yan wanted to see his wound, so he pulled his right hand out of the pocket.

Just as he pulled out half of his hand, Tan Yan's movements stopped.

Liang Xian wore a leather glove on his right hand, which looked a bit empty.

Tan Yan opened Liang Xian's sleeve, and there was a bite mark on his right arm. The tooth marks were very shallow, and the teeth were very small. It was a child's bite mark.Although the marks were light, the skin was bitten and a little blood flowed.

Now the wound is almost out of blood, but the scar is still there.

Tan Yan also took out his gloves and put them on, trying not to touch the wound as much as possible.

He looked at the glove on Liang Xian's right hand, and told himself that what he thought just now was probably an illusion, maybe it was just worn crookedly, and his fingers were curled up, it must not be...

Tan Yan slowly took off the gloves and looked at them one by one, but it was not an illusion.

The index finger, middle finger and ring finger of Liang Xian's right hand were severed by a sharp weapon.Judging from Tan Yan's many years of experience in criminal investigation, the incision on the finger was very smooth, and the person who did it did not hesitate, and the direction was from left to right...

If it was cut by someone else, that person could only cut such a wound if he hugged Liang Xian from behind.Generally, incisions made by others will be applied from the opposite side or from the side, and it is impossible to cause such an incision.

The only possibility is that the three fingers were cut by Liang Xian himself.

Tan Yan touched Liang Xian's waist. There was a military dagger hanging there, which was prepared by Minister Yu and others before they went out.

Liang Xian used the knife to cut off three of his own fingers one by one.

Tan Yan looked at the remaining two fingers. Unlike the palm and arm, these two fingers were bluish black, similar to the skin color of a zombie, but the color did not spread to the palm, and the color of the thumb was slightly lighter, while the little finger looked very serious. .

Tan Yan thought, he probably guessed how Liang Xian suppressed his corpse poison for more than a month.

If one imagined the corpse poison as a virus or energy, Liang Xian didn't know how to control the poison at the extremities of his limbs.

And decisive, and ruthless.

Just like Liang Xian who insisted on awakening his abilities, he could risk his life to awaken his abilities while he was on the verge of death; he could also suppress his zombification by self-mutilation.

Smart and vicious people will make people guard against.But even if this person hurts himself, he doesn't want to become a monster that loses his mind. When he is in danger, he still wants to help survivors in other worlds.

"Losing you is a huge loss for the country." Tan Yan took off his gloves, stroked Liang Xian's face, his heart ached uncontrollably.

"It's also my loss."

Even though he is old and can't keep up with the young thoughts both emotionally and mentally, he is still willing to respond to the feelings of such a young man.

Tan Yan removed the protective film from his body, held Liang Xian's face, and gently touched his cracked lips with his lips.

Such superficial movements are already the limit of what the restrained Tan Yan can do.

After being kissed lightly, Liang Xian's eyelashes trembled violently, and he opened his eyes with an increasingly powerful heartbeat.
