16 years

Like Fu Yan, Liu Ruosong was born in a military compound.

When Fu Yan was only two and a half years old, his biological parents both died in a peacekeeping operation. After that, Fu Yan was sent to the compound to live with his grandparents.

The Liu family lived opposite the Fu family, only separated by a small alley.The two families are family friends, Liu Ruosong was born two years younger than Fu Yan, and is the youngest child of the Liu family.

The two of them have been mixed together since they were young, and they grew up together, but their tempers and temperaments are very different, and there is no similarity at all.

I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of his family environment. Fu Yan was determined to go to the military academy when he graduated from high school. The old man was concerned about the tragedy of his parents, so he didn’t want to agree, but in the end he got stuck with his grandparents at home. After many weeks, even the beatings that I volunteered to bring out of the closet were finished, and I finally reported to enlist in the army.

But Liu Ruosong was also born in a compound, but he was completely opposite to him.

Two generations of the Liu family have joined the army. Liu Ruosong has an instinctive sense of identification with the army, but he doesn't yearn for it. When he was in college, he fulfilled his aspirations far away. Don't let Liu's parents have a headache.

But maybe there is a bit of talent in his blood, Liu Ruosong has learned things like target shooting and fighting very quickly.Because he wandered around and took pictures in the no-man's land all year round, Fu Yan occasionally taught him how to shoot moving targets in addition to teaching him how to fight.

The feel of the real gun is very special, much heavier than the air gun imitation gun outside, the one in front of you still has Fu Yan's body temperature, and the barrel is stained with a little wet water.

Liu Ruosong didn't dare to answer for a while.

"Why did they give you the gun?" Liu Ruosong asked, "Is this also your post-war responsibility?"

"The special police captain secretly gave it to me before he died." Fu Yan said, "He... probably thinks that I am more capable than those people outside."

In fact, he didn't even realize it, Liu Ruosong thought, not to mention the special police captain who fought side by side with him, even Liu Ruosong himself felt the same way as that person.

But this is actually very unreasonable, Liu Ruosong murmured in his heart, saying that everyone is facing emergencies, and it is unreasonable that Fu Yan is more like a pillar than others.

So...why does he feel that way?

He couldn't figure it out, and before he figured out where his reasonable cognition came from, Fu Yan had already stuffed the gun into his hand, and also stuffed him with two spare magazines by the way.

"No." Immediately after Liu Ruosong realized something, he wanted to return the gun to him: "That's all, you give it to me? Or do you take—"

"Be obedient." Fu Yan said: "The situation is unknown after that, you have to protect yourself."

Liu Ruosong frowned slightly, and keenly sensed some unfinished meaning from his words.

Sure enough, Fu Yan immediately said again: "If there is no accident, S City will soon have a large-scale evacuation method. At that time, I will find a way to send you back to Yan City first. When you arrive in Yan City, you go directly to the military area. I will say hello, and there should be someone over there to meet you."

Fu Yan's residence is on the outskirts of Yancheng, and few people come in and out on weekdays.According to his memory, because the garrison guards were strictly guarded and there were very few people entering and leaving, the garrison military area was hardly affected in his previous life.

Later, the situation outside was chaotic. More than a year after the end of the world, the civilian shelters outside could not survive, and it was quickly converted into a large base, receiving a large number of people, and has been conducting corresponding medical research.

In her previous life, Liu Ruosong lived there very safely.

At that time, Fu Yan sent Liu Ruosong back to the base in person, but now he had to turn to find Fang Sining. He didn't have time and couldn't spare the time to send Liu Ruosong back to Yancheng. After thinking about it, Fu Yan couldn't rest assured.

"What about you?" Liu Ruosong asked, "You went to find Fang Sining by yourself?"

Fu Yan hummed, and said: "Shao Xuefan has so many students, so he wouldn't just mention this one for no reason. He must know something about Shao Xuefan. Whether it's the research content or something, it is Shao Xuefan who wants us to know. "

——Besides, Shao Xuefan is dead, if his students can inherit his mantle, maybe it will be of some help to the research of viruses.

Pengcheng is thousands of miles away, there may not be any accidents along the way, Liu Ruosong instinctively wants to refuse Fu Yan to go alone.

But before he could come up with a tactful way of persuading him, Fu Yan rummaged through his pockets and handed him another item.

"Also, Ruosong, I want you to do me a favor by asking you to go back early." Fu Yan said.

If Fu Yan said something like "I asked you to go back first to ensure your safety", Liu Ruosong would definitely not agree, but it was hard for Liu Ruosong to refuse when he said something really serious.

"Bring these two things to Professor Yang of the medical school." Fu Yan said: "If there is no accident, she should have been stationed at that time."

Liu Ruosong looked down, only to realize that what Fu Yan gave him were two blood collection tubes.The blood in the blood collection tube was dark and black, as if it had been mixed with paste, it was as thick as hell.Liu Ruomatsu shook the bottle subconsciously, and found that the liquid inside had begun to stratify, and a layer of greasy bluish-yellow substance began to float up gradually, and gradually separated from the blood.

"This is..." Liu Ruosong quickly realized, "The blood of that thing?"

"Yes." Fu Yan said: "You have to bring it to Yang Yuqing... I don't know how long this thing can be stored, and I don't know if it can be used normally after being brought back in this normal temperature storage state, but this is The blood of the first patient with the disease is worth trying."

The two blood collection tubes were wrapped tightly by Fu Yan, probably because he was afraid of accidentally hurting Liu Ruosong, so several layers of tape were densely wrapped around the seams.The blood collection tube was only half the length of Liu Ruosong's palm. Looking at the sticky blood flowing inside, he suddenly understood what Fu Yan meant.

——He thought earlier than everyone else. While others were rushing to "save people" and "control the scene", he had already set his sights on "ending the disaster" one step ahead.

"I see." Liu Ruosong clenched the two blood collection bottles, smiled at Fu Yan, and said, "Don't worry, it will be delivered safely."

Liu Ruosong paused, and jokingly added, "Both the blood sample and I are safe."

Fu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I believe in you." Fu Yan said.

The mountains and rain were about to come, and the people's sense of survival was initially sensitive. After the first few hours of chaos, the situation stabilized briefly.

Most people stopped going out, or fled the city by car, and most of the city fell into the dark night, as if it became empty overnight.

Fu Yan's car was parked near an abandoned factory in the outer suburbs. The neighborhood has been deserted for a long time.

Sitting in the car, Liu Ruosong sorted out the paper materials brought out from Shao Xuefan's house by the lights inside the car.When he left Xiaolou, Fu Yan was very persistent and asked him to sort out useful materials and take them away. Although Liu Ruosong didn't find any secrets, seeing how serious he was, he still put away some more professional materials.

He glanced briefly, Shao Xuefan was recently researching a certain substance, this biological cell was first extracted from moss, and it seemed to be related to pharmaceuticals.

It’s nothing to do with someone like Shao Xuefan, not to mention extracting biological chains from moss, even if he couldn’t think about extracting them in cement someday, no one stopped him.Liu Ruosong probably glanced at it and let it go. These initial project materials are not confidential, and they can be found on the Internet in [-]% of cases, so they have no real value.

But Liu Ruosong was surprised by Shao Xuefan's project procurement book, which purchased ordinary scientific research equipment, but in the appendix, whether it was an accident or something, a report signed by Fang Sining was inserted.

This page of the report was very sloppy, and Liu Ruosong could tell at a glance that this was not an official report, but more like a so-called "homework report."

In this page of the report, there is only one line written in the column of the conclusion—[Successfully extracted the unmutated species of B-92 from the glacier. 】

B-92 is the biological chain in the moss that Shao Xuefan studied. Liu Ruosong frowned, not understanding how the other party got into the glacier.

Liu Ruosong wrote down this matter in the memo, and planned to ask Fang Sining later.

As soon as he finished sorting out these documents, Fu Yan got into the car, covered in dew, dimmed the headlights by one degree, and stuffed the bread and mineral water into Liu Ruosong's arms.

Liu Ruosong didn't ask him where he got these things, he tore open the package and shared half with him, and chewed the question just now with the bread and swallowed it into his stomach.

"When are we leaving?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"Wait first." Fu Yan turned on the car radio and said, "Wait until the situation stabilizes."

"Then when will the situation be considered stable?" Liu Ruosong held the two blood collection tubes like two time bombs, fearing that the time bombs would be in vain if they expired: "How about I find a car, It’s not impossible to go back to Yancheng by yourself.”

Fu Yan thought about his proposal seriously, but finally shook his head, and said seriously: "The risk is too great, many people are running out now, and there are too many accidents on the road. Not counting zombies, Food, clothing and water are all problems along the way, and you are not safe alone."

What he said was well-founded, Liu Ruosong thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said was right.

After all, he wasn't running for his life alone, and he still had blood samples to be sent back to Yancheng Medical Research Institute in his hand.

"Don't worry, there will be a centralized rescue in S City soon." Fu Yan said, "Although there is only one chance, you—"

Before he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly. Fu Yan subconsciously turned off the roof light, took out the phone to check the number, and swipe to answer.

Liu Ruosong recognized that it was his work mobile phone, so he subconsciously relaxed his chewing movements, for fear of making any noise that would affect him.

When Fu Yan answered the phone, his face subconsciously turned away from the car window. His eyes fell through the car window into the thick night outside, and he didn't speak for a long time.
