Escape From the Library

【Gene Variation-06】

Professor Tang drew Xu Yishen a route map to the expressway. After passing the gas station, Xu Yishen saw the entrance of the Ring Expressway. He drove on the expressway. The road signs on the expressway were very clear. There is an arrow heading to F City.Xu Yishen has rich driving experience, so he doesn't have to worry about going the wrong way if he follows the road signs.

Zhuo Feng, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, looked out the window and couldn't help wondering: "The mutants have captured the whole city, don't the citizens run out? Why can't you see a single car on the road?"

Xu Yishen said: "The population of this city is at least millions, so it's impossible to destroy it within a few days, right?"

Yue Xingwen looked out of the window thoughtfully, the sky was getting dark, and the whole city was plunged into darkness, even the light of a street lamp could not be seen.Xu Yishen turned on the lights of the car. In the dark, he didn't dare to drive too fast, and kept the speed at around 70km/h.

Time passed by, the students in the car did not make a sound, they stared out of the dark window silently, as if something would suddenly attack them in the darkness, everyone was on alert and did not dare to relax at all.

However, nothing happened.

The car drove smoothly on the highway for more than half an hour.

Professor Tang's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound. He coughed lightly and asked, "Do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten for three days." He hid in an iron box on the roof of the building, relying on a few The bottle of milk lasted for three days. At this time, the stomach was so empty that it was almost unbearable.

Yue Xingwen turned around and said: "We are still within the range of City C. This is the base camp of mutants. We can't relax. Let's have dinner together after we leave City C. Professor Tang, why don't you drink some water first, Eat some peanuts and red dates to pad your stomach?" He took out a bottle of mineral water from the box and handed it to the other party, then opened his schoolbag, grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed it over.

Professor Tang: "..."

Escape, bring a bunch of peanuts, red dates, sesame mung beans, these people are really creative.The corner of Professor Tang's mouth twitched, he took the mineral water and a handful of peanuts, and chewed silently.

The car was speeding at high speed, Xin Yan was really not good at cooking.They couldn't find biscuits or chocolates in the supermarket, and Yue Xingwen couldn't help it. He looked at his teammates around him: "Are you hungry? Who wants peanuts?"

Ke Shaobin raised his hand: "I want it." The others were not hungry, after all, they came to the examination room after having breakfast, and shook their heads expressing that they didn't want to eat.

Ke Shaobin found that apart from Professor Tang, who hadn't eaten for three days and was starving, he was the only one who raised his hand to eat. His ears couldn't help turning slightly red, and he added in a low voice, "Just give me a few to taste."

Yue Xingwen smiled and said: "You're welcome, I took enough just now, you just eat." He stuffed Ke Shaobin with a lot of peanuts, and asked: "Do you want melon seeds?"

Everyone: "..."

How about running for your life, is it plausible for peanuts and melon seeds?

Ke Shaobin coughed, took the melon seeds that Yue Xingwen handed over, and lowered his head to eat the melon seeds silently.

In the quiet car, the only sounds were the sounds of Professor Tang eating peanuts and Ke Shaobin eating melon seeds.The sound lasted for a few seconds, Xin Yan finally couldn't hold it anymore, and said calmly: "I'll find a safe place later, and I'll cook porridge for you. Use an alcohol lamp to burn the decanter, and there is gasoline beside it, in case the vehicle bumps It would be dangerous to cause a fire."

Yue Xingwen said: "Well, let's talk about leaving City C first."

While everyone was chatting, Xu Yishen slammed on the brakes!

The sudden brake caused everyone's bodies to rush forward uncontrollably, and everyone hurriedly grabbed the seats to stabilize their bodies.Ke Shaobin almost fell and spilled all the melon seeds in his hand on the ground. He sat down hastily and asked nervously, "What's going on?"

Xu Yishen frowned and said, "There's a traffic jam at the toll booth ahead."

Yue Xingwen walked quickly to the driver's seat and looked forward, only to see densely packed private cars forming a long queue on the expressway, blocking the entire road.Most of the cars had their lights on and there was a deafening honking of horns ahead.

Drop drop-

The harsh sound of the horn made everyone frown.

Zhuo Feng walked to Xu Yishen's side, looked forward, frowned and said, "Why is the traffic jam so serious? Is it a serial car accident?"

Yue Xingwen said: "We have encountered a large fleeing army, right?"

There were no vehicles on the highway just now, and everyone wondered why the residents of the entire city didn't flee?Now it seems that the residents have already run away, but when they drove on the highway and wanted to go out of the city, they were stuck at the toll booth.

This section of the road happened to be a bend. Looking out of the window, the congested traffic flow was like a golden chain. The long queue of convoys could not be seen to the end at a glance, and it was unknown how long they had been stuck here.

Yue Xingwen asked Jiang Pingce if he wanted to get off the car with his eyes, Jiang Pingce nodded, Yue Xingwen turned around and said: "Everyone wait in the car, I will go down with Ping Ce to have a look." Walked ten meters forward.

In the congested traffic, many drivers locked their doors in horror, and many drivers got out of the car to chat with the people around them. Yue Xingwen heard someone next to him cursing in a low voice: "Fuck, this has been blocked for hours. What's ahead? What happened, is there anyone in charge!" "I don't know, could it be a serial car accident?"

"This road doesn't work, what should we do? Should we go back and find another road?"

"Are you crazy! Go back and be caught by those monsters for experiments?"

Do experiments?Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and they walked forward quickly. Yue Xingwen looked at a middle-aged driver standing beside the car smoking a cigarette, and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by doing an experiment? Someone was arrested Are you doing an experiment?"

The stubble-faced middle-aged man exhaled a puff of smoke irritably, and said, "Don't you know? This city is completely messed up! Some strange men in black suddenly appeared on the street, and they arrested everyone they saw. I still have a gun in my hand!"

A young man in sportswear next to him said, "I also heard that those people in black will first ask you if you want to be a volunteer to do experiments with them, and those who don't want to be killed directly!"

The curly-haired woman clenched her fists tightly, her voice trembling: "At first we thought it was a special police mission, but in the end, a child turned around and ran away, and was shot in the head by them... It's, it's terrible!"

The man said with a sullen face: "How can people be forced to do experiments like this, and they will be killed if they don't agree! Those people in black are simply terrorists! We can't stay here any longer, so we want to go to the relatives' house in F city to take refuge." for a while."

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice: "When did they go to the street to arrest people?"

The woman said, "Just, just yesterday."

Yue Xingwen said: "Have you been stuck on the road all day?"

The bearded man stubbed out the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground irritably, crushed it with his leather shoes, and said, "Yesterday, those men in black only appeared near the scientific research institute in the western part of the city and killed a lot of people. I just read the news on the Internet. , I hurriedly packed my luggage and ran out at noon today, only to be stuck on the highway."

The young man said: "We also came out this afternoon!"

The woman looked around anxiously: "If you keep blocking like this, what should you do if you are caught up by those people?"

Panic spread rapidly among the crowd. There were loud cries of collapse in front of them, mixed with roars and curses, especially for the vehicles caught in the middle, who couldn't move forward and couldn't back up. They were simply waiting to die.

After a while, suddenly a group of people screamed and ran in the opposite direction from the front of the convoy as if they were being chased by wolves. The drivers of the convoy who were stuck on the road saw this scene and rolled down their windows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Among the running crowd, someone shouted in a hoarse voice: "There is a monster ahead, monster!" "Run!"

Hearing this sentence, some people immediately locked the doors in horror, and some drivers simply abandoned the car and ran away.

The entire expressway was in chaos in an instant. Not far away, a woman wearing high heels sprained her foot while running away, accidentally fell to the ground, and was directly trampled on by the crowd rushing from behind, screaming terribly.

The cries of children, the cries of the elderly and the honking of vehicles were mixed together, which was deafening.The crowd rushed over from a distance like a tide, Jiang Pingce's expression changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Yue Xingwen's wrist: "Let's go!"

Before Yue Xingwen had time to react, Jiang Pingce suddenly opened the coordinate system with his right hand and took Yue Xingwen directly into the sky. After a long parabolic movement, the two flew to the vicinity of the toll booth.

Looking down from the sky, Yue Xingwen finally saw what happened in front of him——

Several large trucks were parked at the toll booth at the exit of the expressway in City C. Some men in black were standing guard at the toll booth with submachine guns in their hands, questioning the passing vehicles one by one.A cold voice came from below: "Will you be a volunteer?"

Those who were willing were allowed to go, and their hands and feet were tied and escorted to the compartment of the truck.Those who do not want to be executed on the spot.

The reason why the crowd suddenly ran back was because a few men took chances to resist when they were being escorted, but their necks were bitten off by their escorts!

The teeth of those people were sharper than beasts, and the few people whose necks were bitten off fell into a pool of blood in horror. Those who saw this scene immediately abandoned their cars and ran away!

The speed of the crowd running wildly couldn't compare to the bullets behind them.

The men in black immediately shot at the fleeing crowd, and the "bang bang" gunshots resounded through the night sky——

People fell one after another, and there was blood everywhere!In a blink of an eye, the entire highway was stained red with blood. In front of the organized and armed mutants, ordinary human beings were so small that they had almost no power to resist.

Looking at this hellish scene, Yue Xingwen's face was extremely ugly.

Jiang Pingce said: "There are too many people in black, we must transfer immediately."

The mutated team shot forward with charge/gun/guns. Although their bus was at the end, they couldn't sit still and wait for death. Yue Xingwen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

When the two returned to the car, Lin Manluo came up to him nervously: "How is it? I heard gunshots outside!"

Yue Xingwen said: "The mutated people blocked the toll booth in advance, and all the citizens who wanted to escape from the city were blocked here. They held guns and asked one by one if they wanted to be volunteers. If they are willing, put them in a large truck and take them away. Those who don't want to, shoot them on the spot!"

Hearing Yue Xingwen's brief description, the students in the car gasped.

Xu Yi said with a deep face: "Volunteers? Those who are willing to be volunteers are equivalent to being forced to join the mutant team, and will be pulled to do research and genetic modification?"

Zhuo Feng looked solemn: "In this way, wouldn't the mutant team become stronger and stronger?"

Jiang Pingce said: "If you want to survive, you must join the mutant camp, otherwise you will be executed immediately. The corpses we saw in the square today should be human beings who resisted and were shot/killed on the spot..."

Those who resist do not end well.But who knows, what kind of research will be used after joining the mutant camp?

In the eyes of those mutants whose physical strength, speed, endurance, etc. have been strengthened, ordinary humans are just guinea pigs in the laboratory. They have no human rights, no freedom, and can be killed with a single shot at any time.

Liu Zhaoqing clenched his fists tightly and said, "This situation is really the end of the world! Is there any chance for human beings?"

Yue Xingwen suddenly looked at Professor Tang who was sitting in the back row: "I remember Professor Tang said that among the materials you carry, there are mutants' weaknesses, so mutants are eager to find you? Since they are all products of genetic modification , the information in Professor Tang's hands should have a complete gene sequence, which can solve the problem of mutants from the root, right?"

Ke Shaobin quickly understood, and made an analogy: "If mutants are a kind of genetic program, then Professor Tang holds their source code? With the source code, we can find out the mutants that attack the mutants. The best way for people to destroy these programs!"

Professor Tang nodded solemnly: "Your understanding is correct. This information is extremely precious, so even if I die, I will not give it to anyone. I must take it to the Gene Center."

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath: "Don't worry, we will protect you!"

Today, the expressway is completely blocked, with more than 3 kilometers of congestion, and they cannot go directly.

Xu Yishen said: "This highway is impassable, and behind us is the base camp of mutants, and we can't go back. Think about it, is there another way?"

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Give up the expressway and take the provincial road."

Xu Yishen looked back at him: "Do you know Lu?"

Jiang Pingce said: "I have been observing just now. Below the expressway, there is a parallel path marked with Provincial Highway 106, which is facing north. It should be the passage out of the province. The mutants blocked the expressway immediately. Tollbooth, but that path should be open for now. We can turn off the lights and take a quick detour.”

Professor Tang's complexion changed slightly: "However, if we take the provincial road, we have to turn back first, go out from the expressway just now, and then walk several kilometers in the urban area..."

Yue Xingwen said: "Don't worry, we have a solution."

He looked at Jiang Pingce, who nodded immediately, stretched out his right hand, drew the xyz coordinate system, set the whole car as one coordinate, and quickly wrote out a line of formula.

Jiang Pingce said in a deep voice, "Everyone, sit still!"

Everyone grabbed the armrests of the seats, and the whole car floated into the air in an instant, flying straight to the side from the highway——

Professor Tang tightly closed his eyes, thinking that this time the car would crash and people would die!

However, after the huge bus flew out from the high speed, it did not crash, but landed steadily on another small road [-] meters away from the high speed.

Professor Tang was frightened: "This..."

Yue Xingwen said: "You just think we have a special function, so we can fly."

Jiang Pingce took a step forward: "Brother Xu, turn off the headlights, the lights will attract the attention of mutants."

The surrounding area of ​​this road was pitch black. They turned on the lights and walked forward majesticly. The mutant team on the highway not far away saw the lights and would definitely spot them and catch up immediately.

Xu Yishen turned off the lights and said, "Driving in the dark will be dangerous, let Ke Shaobin come over!"

Ke Shaobin quickly walked to the driver's seat, summoned the robot, and said, "I'll let the Xiaotu radar detect it. If there is an obstacle ahead, it can call the police."

The small picture turns on the radar monitoring function, and the scanned path is displayed on the screen.

Xu Yishen slowed down, followed the path shown in the small picture, and drove forward in the dark.

On the highway in the distance, there were heart-piercing screams and cries from time to time.

In the car, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

Yue Xingwen frowned tightly. For them, this is just an exam, but for the human beings in this exam world, what everyone is facing is the life and death of the entire species.
