16 years

Different from his previous life, this time Shao Xuefan supervised Fu Yan very strictly.

In the first year and a half, Liu Ruosong couldn't see the other party at all, because he didn't have enough authority, even if he reached the third floor, he would be persuaded to return.

So later, Liu Ruosong gradually learned to force himself to face the research results under Fu Yan's sample, and he began to intervene in the core research.Only in this way, in order to observe the status of the "sample" regularly, Shao Xuefan would allow him to see Fu Yan once every three months, staying for one hour each time.

Liu Ruosong's research direction is different from Shao Xuefan's. Shao Xuefan gave up most of the ideas of B-92, and wanted to take a shortcut, find the anchor point of virus infection and mutation through Fu Yan's special genes, and then trace back to the source.However, Liu Ruosong was still obsessed with decomposing the original virus strain. Most of the time, he continued his previous research ideas, walking forward step by step, trying to open up a path that did not require Fu Yan at all.

But it's not easy, he often gets stuck, as if an important clue is always missing from the clue column, so everything doesn't connect to the line.

Liu Ruosong knew in his heart that the correct clue should be in the hands of Joe Eden, but because they lost that part of the source of information, they only found an alternative clue - Fu Yan.

These three-month deadlines are actually not fulfilled on time, because Fu Yan has to "cooperate" with Shao Xuefan's experiment, so whether he can see him or not depends entirely on his state at the time.

Several times, Liu Ruosong submitted an application for a meeting, but because Fu Yan was in a high-risk period of metabolic virus at that time, he could only continue to wait.

There is only a ceiling between him and Fu Yan, but it seems that there is an insurmountable gap.

Fortunately, Fu Yanshi would bring a few notes to Liu Ruosong from time to time - he was not in prison upstairs, and there was no obstacle to the application of some basic daily necessities, so when he was in good condition, he would write to Liu Ruosong and hand it over to him. Entrust it to the experimenters to bring it down.

Most of the time he talked about trivial matters, such as asking Liu Ruosong to take good care of himself and eat on time.

Except for the first meeting, Liu Ruosong adjusted himself very well in the next few times.He hardly showed pain and reluctance in front of Fu Yan, and never talked about how he was doing, only how the outside news was.

The one hour of each meeting was used by him for private chatting time, and the notepad for recording data was conveniently placed on the disinfection cabinet in front of the door, and it was blank from entering to exiting.

"That's not good." Fu Yan smiled at him with his eyes bent: "Shao Xuefan will watch the surveillance."

"Let him watch." Liu Ruosong hooked the stool and sat next to him, untied the restraint belt carelessly, took his hands out of the quilt, held them in the palms and rubbed them together: "Unless it's a matter of principle, he Don't dare to provoke me now."

Compared to a professional master like Shao Xuefan, Liu Ruosong was inferior to him in terms of experience and talent. Even in the field of biochemistry, Liu Ruosong was not a very talented student.

But fortunately, he lived three lives longer than Shao Xuefan, and the amount of information in several lifetimes added up, so that he could barely keep up with the other party, and gradually earned a little right to speak in the laboratory building of Yiyantang.

"So powerful?" Fu Yan said, "That's good, I'm still worried that he will bully you outside."

"No." Liu Ruosong smiled at him and said, "No one outside can bully me."

From the back of Fu Yan's hand to his forearm, his muscles were so stiff that he couldn't bend them yet. Obviously, he was still in the infection stage.Liu Ruosong gently squeezed his hand, then lowered his head to cover his eyes.

At first, Fu Yan was not willing to let Liu Ruosong see himself like this - he didn't care, mainly because he was afraid that Liu Ruosong would be sad when he saw him.

But gradually, he was relieved, anyway, Liu Ruosong would feel even more uncomfortable if he couldn't see him.

"This time...how did it take so long?" Liu Ruosong asked in a low voice, "It's been more than three months, and it hasn't been cleaned up yet?"

"I don't know either." Fu Yan fell into a long low-grade fever, his mind was not spinning as fast as before, and he felt tired after he couldn't say a few words: "Maybe it's because of his poor health recently."

Liu Ruosong's eyes darkened, he remembered something, and his hand holding Fu Yan tightened slightly.

Fu Yan hissed lightly, and Liu Ruosong came to his senses, and let him go hastily.

"Pain?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"It's okay." Fu Yan said.

I don't know if it's because his cells are busy fighting the virus. Ordinary zombies don't have pain and senses, but Fu Yan is more sensitive than before.

"Okay, I won't touch you anymore." Liu Ruosong put his hand back where it was, and patted it through the quilt: "Go to sleep when you're tired."

Fu Yan still wanted to talk to him for a while, but the continuous low-grade fever did wear out most of his energy. He struggled with eyelids for a while, but finally he couldn't resist the drowsiness.

Liu Ruosong stood by his side for a while, making sure that he was fast asleep, and then quietly left the observation room.

The door of the observation room closed behind him, Liu Ruosong held the blank notebook, leaned against the cold glass wall, and took a long breath.

...Fu Yan's condition is getting worse and worse.

At first, his body eliminated the virus for as little as a week, and as long as half a month. Later, his body probably got used to the zombie virus, so the recovery speed became faster and faster. Even if Shao Xuefan used the enhanced version of the virus later, he The recovery time did not exceed one month.

But recently this time has been getting longer and longer.

Liu Ruosong gradually understood what was going on in his heart, and he also had a premonition that Fu Yan was almost at his limit.

Liu Ruosong knew in his heart that sooner or later, Fu Yan's body would be unable to carry the virus, and he would truly become a zombie like Irene, no different from ordinary zombies outside.

It's hard for him to say what he thinks in his heart, and he thinks that it's better to have that day come earlier, otherwise he will be wasted if he goes on like this.But on the other hand, he couldn't help but panic about losing Fu Yan completely.

Liu Ruosong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and harshly rehearsed the scene of that day in his mind.

——He has to get used to this first and make sufficient mental preparations. Only in this way can he face Fu Yan calmly when that day comes.

But Liu Ruosong did not expect that the world is impermanent, even if he is mentally prepared, the ending may be completely different from what he imagined.

After that day, he has been rehearsing the worst scenario like brainwashing himself, and he is constantly constructing himself mentally, trying to make himself accept this more naturally.

He even planned a stage for himself, trying to slowly "desensitize" himself.

But what he didn't expect was that he never saw Fu Yan again.

Three months after that meeting, Liu Ruosong submitted the application as usual, but this time Shao Xuefan rejected his request and raised the alert level.

Liu Ruosong found out later that it was because Fu Yan's physical condition was completely out of control.

Liu Ruosong didn't know the specific method of "out of control".The matter about Fu Yan is a first-class secret of the laboratory building. Without Shao Xuefan's disclosure, no one can tell him more details.

The only thing we can know is that Fu Yan has not completely lost his mind and violently hurt others - otherwise Shao Xuefan would not run upstairs three times a day.

Liu Ruosong is worried, he still remembers his harsh restart conditions, now he is not afraid that Fu Yan will turn into a zombie and die completely, if he can't see it himself, he won't be able to start again.

He tossed and turned for two nights, finally gritted his teeth and handed in an application to Shao Xuefan.I just said that if Fu Yan dies one day, please ask him to collect the body.

After this application was submitted, nothing came to light. Liu Ruosong originally thought that Shao Xuefan would be too lazy to deal with this kind of affection, but one day after two months, Shao Xuefan's secretary suddenly came to him and asked him to go to the conference room to have a meeting. meeting.

Shao Xuefan never took the initiative to ask him to discuss anything, Liu Ruosong almost understood what was going on right away, and broke a test tube with a shake of his hand.

"Liugong?" the secretary asked.

"Okay...Okay, come." Liu Ruosong came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Right away."

Liu Ruomatsu originally thought that Shao Xuefan asked him to "collect the corpse" or something, but he didn't expect to open the door of the conference room, but there were still many people standing on both sides of the conference table.

The current "No. [-]" of the military region sat in the middle, Shao Xuefan led the team and sat on one side of the conference table, and on the other side were several researchers from other projects and the person in charge of the medical department.

"You came just in time, Xiao Liu." The man in the suit gestured at him, and said, "We have thought about it, and in the end your opinion is more important."

Liu Ruosong frowned in confusion, and the researchers by the door automatically separated to the two sides, making way for Liu Ruosong to come out.

"No other questions today." Shao Xuefan said: "The main thing is to study the handling of 'No. [-]'."

"...What to do?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"He has lost its research value." Shao Xuefan said: "In short, it is scrapped."

A student beside Shao Xuefan stepped forward and pushed a packaged document across the table in front of Liu Ruosong. Liu Ruosong glanced at him vigilantly, then reached out and pulled out the report inside.

He scanned the content at a glance, and the blood all over his body almost froze.

The report is about Fu Yan's physical condition in the past few months - the "special medicine" in his body seems to have finally been exhausted in this long pass. In the last experiment, the virus was not completely metabolized.

Shao Xuefan and the others tried many methods, including using more advanced mutated virus stimulation, and cooperating with certain medical methods, etc., but they failed to make Fu Yan's genes return to their original appearance.

So after that, they focused on observing for a period of time, and finally found with regret that Fu Yan's genes no longer changed, and had lost their value as an active sample.

"...So." Liu Ruosong said, "You want to deal with him?"

"He is extremely dangerous." Shao Xuefan said: "Generally speaking, he is a large virus petri dish. Every time the virus enters his body, it will become a more tricky mutant. Do you know how many times he has Experiment, and you will know how terrifying the virus in his genes is."

"That's not your fault!" Liu Ruosong threw the folder in front of Shao Xuefan, angrily said: "You typed it in!"

"Even if you say that, it can't change the fact that he is at high risk." Shao Xuefan said without changing his expression, "You should know that if something happens to him and the virus leaks, it will cause serious consequences—not to mention the disposal of waste medical materials. It’s justified, and I’m doing it for everyone’s safety.”

"Abandoned medical supplies?" Liu Ruosong sneered and asked, "What are you going to do with him?"

"He will deal with whatever the zombie samples are," Shao Xuefan said.

"You're dreaming." Liu Ruosong gritted his teeth and said, "Unless I die."

In addition to Fu Yan, there are many ordinary zombies in the laboratory building. Most of these zombies are used to collect other dynamic samples and conduct drug experiments.The experimental building will not return the zombies after the experiment to their original places, but will adopt "harmless treatment" like how Europe dealt with severe infectious diseases in the Middle Ages.

"Calm down." Shao Xuefan made a gesture and said, "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and he is not aggressive now, but who can guarantee that he has never been, can you take this responsibility?"

"But he's human!" Liu Ruosong said unbearably: "As long as he's rational! No matter what he becomes, he's still human! Even if he's a high-risk person, if you want to kill him, I can't let you use this method."

"Petri dishes can't be killed." Shao Xuefan told him almost coldly: "We have already suffered from 'No. [-]'. They look like zombies, but destroying the brain stem can't kill them. At the same time, because The cause of the zombie virus, destroying the heart, arteries and other places will not kill them. So either follow the method of zombies; or, I can only dissect him carefully to ensure that he dies completely-do you want to choose the queen? who?"

Liu Ruosong couldn't say no to him, and suddenly turned his head to look at the man in the suit above him, his eyes were like knives: "Leader, you don't think such inhuman things are justified, do you?"

"I maintain a neutral attitude." The man in the suit said flatly: "Before you came, the two parties at the table had already quarreled over this issue - the opponents had the same reasons as you. How should I say it?" , Mr. Shao has his reasons, but the method is really cruel, so we ask you to discuss it, after all, you are the family member of No. [-]."

"I disagree." Liu Ruosong said.

Shao Xuefan also wanted to persuade him: "Don't be arrogant—"

"I don't want to watch my lover be burned alive. Is this a matter of passion?" Liu Ruo said without hesitation: "If you have the ability, you should go and kill your relatives first. I remember that there is still a shortage of experimenters for new medicines. What do you think of Shao Qiu? "

Shao Xuefan's face suddenly turned ugly.

"It's impossible for me to agree." Liu Ruosong gritted his teeth, restraining the trembling of his body firmly, not wanting to show his timidity: "If he turns into a zombie, I have no other words—but as long as he still has reason and knows me, Then he is a human being, not some bullshit medical waste."

Liu Ruosong only felt that he had reached his limit, he didn't want to say a word, he just wanted to escape from this suffocating place.

But just as he turned around, he was stopped by Shao Xuefan.

"In that case, why don't you ask number two yourself." Shao Xuefan said.

Liu Ruosong was instantly cold all over.

He turned his head, and Shao Xuefan stood up with his hands on the table, looked directly at Liu Ruosong, and repeated: "I think you should see No. 10 before making a decision—I can give you [-] minutes of visiting time."

Liu Ruosong took two steps back slowly, he stared at Shao Xuefan for a while, then turned his head and ran out the door without saying a word.

Shao Xuefan watched him run out, then took the intercom on the table and asked the guard on the third floor to prepare an isolation suit for him.

Liu Ruosong didn't understand what it meant at first, but he didn't know why until he entered the door.

——Because Fu Yan's state is much worse than he imagined.

Liu Ruosong had never seen such a tragic scene for Fu Yan, he just glanced at him through the glass, and felt as if he had already died once.

In the observation room, Fu Yan was rarely awake—or "awake" was not always the case, he just had his eyes open.

He was lying naked on the restraint bed, with only a thin blanket covering his waist and abdomen.The exposed limbs were blue and purple, as if they had been dug out of a grave.

Liu Ruosong walked into the door with difficulty, and only when he got closer did he realize that Fu Yan's soft skin on the side of his neck had begun to rot, revealing a fist-sized wound, from which bruised blood oozed out, dripping down the edge of the bed little by little. on the ground.

Is this how he watched himself rot, Liu Ruosong suddenly thought.

His zombification ratio is ridiculously large, except for his limbs, even one eyeball is cloudy, yellowish and white, and his pupils are slack. Only a palm-sized area on the right shoulder is still the skin color of a living person.

Liu Ruosong sucked in intermittently, only feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

He was getting close, and Fu Yancai saw him belatedly.He couldn't speak, instinctively he didn't want Liu Ruosong to see his current appearance, his eyes subconsciously glanced down, avoiding Liu Ruosong's gaze.

This was the first time in Fu Yan's life that he escaped, and Liu Ruosong's heart was about to break.

He pretended not to see Fu Yan's avoidance, forced a smile at him, sat beside his bed, put his hands on the head of the bed, and approached him.

"They...they came to ask my opinion. Shao Xuefan will deal with you in the same way as zombies." Liu Ruosong said, "Brother, do you want to live? If you want to live, I can save you even if I die."

I once promised that he would persist, Fu Yan thought.

But he really seems to have reached his limit.

Fu Yan thought, at least, if he didn't look so miserable, he might still be able to grit his teeth and persevere.But the continuation of this kind of life without dignity is actually a kind of torture for Liu Ruosong.

He wanted to say sorry, he failed to do what he promised, but because of his stiff throat, he couldn't say anything.

Liu Ruosong stared at him for a while, and understood Fu Yan's answer in silence.

"Okay." Liu Ruosong suddenly smiled understandingly, stretched out his hand, touched Fu Yan's face, and said softly: "In the past twenty years, no matter how capricious I was, you were willing to spoil me, then This time it's me."

As Liu Ruosong said, he leaned down, first kissed Fu Yan's intact shoulder, then leaned over and kissed Fu Yan's zombie-like eye.

Fu Yan's eyelashes trembled, then drooped down, and the smell of rotting blood permeated, wrapping his whole body in it.

Liu Ruosong stood up, bent down and hugged Fu Yan.

"I don't want... I don't want to give someone else's hand." Liu Ruosong said, "They will treat you like waste. I don't want to do that."

"I'll see you off myself." Liu Ruosong said.

It seems that once a person collapses to the extreme, crying and anger become useless emotions. Liu Ruosong hugged Fu Yan tightly, only feeling that his eyes were astringent, and tears seemed to disappear from his body.

The place where the zombies are concentrated is not far from the experimental building, and it was refitted from the self-heating backup boiler room in the military area.

Shao Xuefan seemed to have guessed that Liu Ruosong would choose this way, and he had already arranged strict security in advance, and even cleared the processing point, leaving only a few staff members.

Liu Ruosong carried Fu Yan all the way to the door before letting him go, and finally smoothed his drooping forehead hair.

"...see you later?" Liu Ruosong said.

Fu Yan blinked slowly.

Liu Ruosong reluctantly licked the corners of his lips at him, showing a little smile.

The steel bed pushed into Liu Ruosong's blind spot, and the scorching heat made the whole building heat up. Liu Ruosong stood outside the incinerator, watching quietly.

Liu Ruosong knew that he must be in pain.

But probably because he knew he was outside, Fu Yan didn't call out.
