In the emergency special team, most of the elite were sent to perform underwater operations, and most of the remaining personnel on board were professional technicians, or those whose physical condition was not suitable for long-term diving. They all had one thing in common: The characteristic is that the psychological quality is quite good.

The ship formation quickly organized harpoon guns and rifles to counterattack, but the situation was obviously not easy to control.

This is the sea, home to infected creatures.

The infected creatures below began to catch them by surprise. They chose to approach the fast hull from the dangerous underwater environment. A ship directly in front of it was almost knocked over by this, and a row of them strafed a few centimeters from the hull, splashing a wave of spray.

The veteran on Ji Nanze's left put down his rifle, and a wisp of white smoke was coming out of the muzzle.

"Find a place to hold on." The veteran glanced at them, and immediately aimed his gun at the infected creature that threw itself on the propeller at the stern of the ship, desperately biting it.

When the trigger was pulled, a blood hole appeared on its head.The corpse stretched straight, dragging a line of thick black blood, and slowly slid down.

But the situation is still unfavorable to them. Some people were dragged into the seawater by infected creatures during the reaction time of changing bombs. Once they were pulled down, no matter how hard they struggled, it was impossible to save them.Soon, the underwater infected creatures completely occupied the three ships to the south of the ship formation, and many ships were overturned from the bottom. When people fell into the water, the infected creatures gathered underneath rushed up and tore them to pieces. .

The blood attracted more predators, and Ji Nanze noticed that some larger shadows were quietly approaching.

On the captured ship at the end, a huge infected creature climbed aboard.Its forelimbs stuck to the belly of the overturned ship, and it let out a low growl to other ships.

Immediately, waterfalls several feet high jumped up in the water.

The offensive is still going on.

Just when they also hastily picked up their harpoons or rifles, aiming at the monsters jumping up and down on the sea like flying fish.Ji Nanze suddenly saw something unusual under the water.Slowly, more and more... clearer.

Through the slightly bulging sea surface, he clearly saw a huge shadow that might even be several times larger than an aircraft carrier.

It was a huge mouth chasing the boat array, so deep that the bottom could not be seen at all, and even the edge could not be found, just like a terrifying abyss.

The liquid level rose rapidly, almost overturning the ship array from the bottom.

"Hold on!"

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead all of a sudden, he stretched out his hand to grab Heisen who was closest to him, and clasped his wrist on the armrest to prevent the two of them from being thrown off the boat.

Hearing his roar, Thin Monkey, Luo Sang and the rest of the boat also found their own suitable positions, leaned back to each other, and lowered their bodies.

An infected creature pounced directly on their boat, its body slid a few times, its tail slapped heavily on the hull, and its nails scratched harshly on the metal shell.It let out a high-pitched roar, and with a push of its forelegs, its whole body fell onto the boat wetly.

Only then did Ji Nanze see the monster's appearance clearly.Its body is weird and misshapen, like a product of some kind of failed evolution, similar to human beings, but also similar to prehistoric creatures.Its head can explain the problem very well. The monster has a human face, unkempt, thick hair covered with algae and fishing line, fish gills in the ears, the breathing hole is greatly opened, and the scales all over the body are blue. colored rays.

Like, mermaids in fairy tales.

The mermaid laughed viciously, and quickly crawled on the ground with the help of her forelimbs, leaving a muddy water stain on her tail.

The veterans here aimed at its head and shot, and four or five blood holes appeared on the mermaid's forehead.But it just tilted its neck, and its movements froze. It only heard a "click" from its spine, and its big blood-red mouth was pulled behind its ears. It was as if its jaw had been removed. the nearest one.

It clasped its arms behind the man's head, buried its mouth in his chest, and began to suck.

Weapons don't work on it?Ji Nanze didn't believe in evil, the harpoon swished, stuck into its side and passed through the chest.

The mermaid raised her head with her mouth full of blood, stared at them with her green eyes, and then smiled softly.

Meanwhile, the waves were rising.The ship became unstable, turned over 90° directly, and several people bumped into the guardrail with stares in their eyes.

The moment his stomach slammed against the armrest, Ji Nanze had only one thought in his mind.

To be swallowed up.

The huge mouth broke through the resistance of the sea water with a buzzing sound from below, and the white waves stirred up thousands of layers, like a rising blue-black giant mountain, even the muscles in the mouth were trembling, and the sticky darkness collapsed in an instant.

The boat was thrown into the waves hundreds of meters high like a child's play.

***

Not only the signal of the ship array, but even the signal of the submarine search team disappeared.

You Guohao looked at the black screens in front of him, and lit a cigarette solemnly.

"...He's here." Ji Ran stood behind him, he kept staring at the signal screen of Ji Nanze's disappearance, looking worried, "We need to move our position as soon as possible."

"It's too late." He sighed, "All the signals are interrupted, and I can't mobilize the relevant personnel in the laboratory. The intermediate host, bring the core personnel, key materials and research equipment, and we will leave the others here... as bait .”

"Where's my brother?"

"He will be fine." When You Guohao got up, he glanced at him, "I will let Zou Tu come back alive, so he is necessary. We still need him in our next plan...don't we?"

Ji Ran lowered his head, seemingly in deep thought.

He followed You Guohao and pushed open the door of the supervisor's room, and walked into the corridor.As soon as he turned his head, he saw a few people running towards them in panic in the fire escape not far away.

"Help, save us!"

Running in front was a clerical girl.

They should all be civil servants. They have never seen such a scene, and all of them asked them for help with tears in their eyes.

"Don't pay attention to her." You Guohao didn't look back, he took every step steadily, "Our existence is necessary, and they are all dispensable things."

He didn't reply, just glanced in the direction of the girl one more time.

A large number of zombies appeared at the entrance of the fire escape. When the zombies invaded the laboratory, all the monitoring lines were cut off.The power was paralyzed, and the defense facilities of the laboratory were also useless.

If he guessed correctly, such a large area of ​​electromagnetic shielding can only be carried out by patient zero himself.

Thinking of this, You Guohao felt a little funny.He only let Ji Nanze ask for blessings a second ago, but now, he himself is in a more dangerous situation than the search team.

He bit the cigarette in his mouth, frowning tightly.Once the search team has obtained a sample of the bacterial fluid, subsequent experiments can be carried out as soon as possible.

Preferably, before the next split of patient zero.

The split may have reached the fifth, or it may have been the sixth.In short, their opponent was a monster.

A ruthless monster that takes pleasure in imitating human emotions.

While smoking a cigarette, You Guohao pressed a red switch on the wall.

Behind them, the passage door creaked and was about to close.

The girls behind saw this scene, and they yelled in despair.

"Put me in!"

"I beg you!"

"Help!"

"Don't...don't! Don't!!!"

Following a shrill cry, silence was restored behind the door.

"Do you know what he wants?" Ji Ran looked at the blood seeping from under the door, and turned to You Guohao in front, "Why did he choose to come to the laboratory. I thought your concealment measures were well done."

You Guohao didn't answer him directly: "Do you know what is behind this war?"

Ji Ran shook his head.

"It is a kind of mirror image. It is the extermination, exploitation and domination of one species to another species. Just like, the shadows that have been left in our history, they are mottled, they fade, they are bloody, and they are also cruel." He deeply Taking a deep breath, he sighed, "We've never been able to figure out where we stand, and we've always been confused—human beings have never been at the top of the food chain."

***

The cold wind whipped the long coat on his body, and the loose hair and wires scraped against each other to make a strange sound.Patient Zero squatted at the top of the spire, clutching a severed arm, and surveyed the whole situation.He took a bite at the cut, and threw it into the dark tide of corpses below without much interest.Zombies swarmed up, tearing off the leftover arm.

They are at his feet, as if starved to death, as if all peoples worshiped.

With the steeple where he was located as the center, the entire city was occupied by blue-gray zombies and infected creatures of various shapes in a radial pattern.When he squinted his eyes, he could see the flames of war erupting in the distance, and the battleships and fighter jets were shot down.The city's shoreline is burning like fire, and armies are trying to fight their way through the tide of corpses, but to no avail.

This dead city, this lightless sky was open to him.

Everything belongs to him.

He clapped his hands and stood up as if feeling amused.

"Sir. We found the laboratory."

On the platform next to him, a thin figure stared deeply at him, lowering his head very obediently.

"Very good, very good, my servants need rewards, obviously, you too..." Patient Zero moved his shoulders and smiled happily, "And then? What about your other good news?"

He rarely gave him a look.

The low-browed and pleasing figure is a young infected person, with fluffy brown hair and a fair and delicate face.Under the eyelids are black down feathers that grow horizontally, and the pupils are green.His nails were hooked like eagle claws, he was wearing a very ordinary school uniform, and he was obediently lying at the feet of Patient Zero, as if he didn't dare to look at him more.

"The attack was successful. We destroyed all the remaining facilities in the laboratory... But, unfortunately, we did not find the traitor. Sir, I beg your forgiveness... Please allow me to stay by your side."

Patient zero squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, and hooked his fingers at him with lazy eyes.

The young man leaned forward eagerly.

He squeezed his chin hard, and laughed coldly.

"You? What can you do? You are just... I picked it up on a whim, a little bird." He seemed to bite the other party between his lips and teeth, looking at the other party's body with the malice of a high-ranking person. face, "What qualifications do you have?"

The teenager stared flinchingly at his golden pupils and looked away.

"I am very loyal. I will never betray you."

Patient zero sneered, he let go of his hand, and threw the boy aside casually.After the boy got up from the ground, he still insisted on following him.

He walked with arrogant and heavy steps, and opened his arms towards the zombies rushing around like a tide below.There was something between excitement and madness on his face.

"Come, children, to remake a world, a good, peaceful world, where nothing is perfect, where all things prosper."
