16 years

Colonel Fu traveled thousands of miles without sleep day and night and came back to get a bite. Instead, his mood was much more stable than when he was on the road.

——At least he now knows why Liu Ruosong is abnormal.

On the other side of the underground passage, the evacuees began to evacuate in an orderly manner. The flow of people moved slowly along the exit. The noisy voices and footsteps mingled together, giving the illusion that the ground was shaking.

The two of them hid in the cramped emergency space, secretly exchanging secrets with each other in a place separated from the world.

Liu Ruosong vented for a long time like a collapse, but Fu Yan never disturbed him.He just put his arms around Liu Ruosong's waist to help him maintain his balance, while relaxing his muscles, waiting for him to ease his emotions.

Liu Ruosong's chest rose and fell, tears and warm breath passed to Fu Yan through the thin training uniform, bringing a silent accusation.

Fu Yan sighed a long time in his heart, and suddenly felt that he seemed very incompetent.

Although he didn't know what Liu Ruosong had gone through, Fu Yan made a rough guess and knew that Liu Ruosong was completely disappointed with the current situation and the future for being able to say such words.

That's why he no longer trusts anyone, even Fu Yan.

Blame me, Fu Yan thought.

Liu Ruosong couldn't hold back under the anger, and soon there were traces of blood running along Fu Yan's shoulder, and a bloodstain was felt between rubbing.

It was only then that Liu Ruosong seemed to have realized something, he suddenly shivered, and let go of his teeth.

Fu Yan was taken aback by his exaggerated reaction, and was about to say that it didn't hurt, when Liu Ruosong rushed up again with red eyes, pinched his shoulder and kissed him.

This kiss had a bit of ruthlessness in the last days, Liu Ruosong pried open Fu Yan's teeth, feeling as if he was going to swallow him alive.

They exchanged a bloody kiss, Liu Ruosong finally calmed down.He squeezed Fu Yan's shoulders, and said vaguely between kisses: "Even if you don't agree, I've made a decision this time."

"There is no disagreement." Fu Yan said, "I listen to you."

Fu Yan actually didn't have any resistance to Liu Ruosong's "declaration". He weighed it in his heart and felt that if Liu Ruosong knew more information than him, then there would be nothing wrong with giving Liu Ruosong the decision-making power.

He has no paranoid desire to control, let alone a stubborn desire to control everything in his own hands.

What's more, Fu Yan believes that no matter what, Liu Ruosong's purpose must be the same as his. If so, it doesn't matter who takes the dominant position.

"...But don't do anything too dangerous." Fu Yan added.

Liu Ruosong leaned back slightly, staring at him seriously, trying to see his true attitude from Fu Yan's eyes.

Fu Yan let him look at him frankly, and finally lowered his head and kissed his eyes.

"But can you tell me, what did you go through during those times?" Fu Yan asked.

He was still very concerned about the missed time, but Liu Ruosong shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about it.

"Forget it." Fu Yan held his hand and said, "If you are unhappy, then don't say anything."

Liu Ruosong's clingy standby state hadn't passed yet, he didn't want to talk, but urgently needed to "recharge", so he took half a step forward and leaned gently on Fu Yan.

The frantic and out-of-control emotions in him seemed to have slowly faded away, just as the storm subsided and turned into a calm and deep sea again.

Liu Ruosong took a deep breath and smelled the unique smell of washing powder on Fu Yan's body.

At times like this, he is always grateful for the other party's thoughtfulness - no matter how much Fu Yan cares about those folded times, as long as he doesn't want to say it, Fu Yan will never ask.

He will never force others to pay for the so-called "big picture". Even if Liu Ruosong comes back from the future with memories and countless secrets, he can easily achieve what Fu Yan wants to achieve now. I don’t know, and then I walked this path step by step again.

"Shao Xuefan is not a good person." Liu Ruosong said softly, "He bullied you."

Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, belatedly remembering Zhao Jincheng's entrustment before departure.

"That's why No. [-] said he should be taken care of separately?" Fu Yan didn't ask the specific details of the "bullying", but asked: "Does he have anything to do with this matter?"

"Related." Liu Ruosong said.

Liu Ruosong knew that he couldn't completely keep it a secret from Fu Yan—once again, he and Fu Yan had to speed up their pace before everything happened, so as to escape the previous ending as much as possible.

So the two of them must do their best, and any unnecessary concealment is a hidden danger that will slow down the process.

Liu Ruosong let go of Fu Yan, took out the metal USB flash drive from his pocket, held it in his palm, and showed it to Fu Yan.

He picks and chooses, and tells Fu Yan as objectively as possible what they found in their previous two lives, including the relationship between Shao Xuefan and Joe Eden, the existence of B-92 and the petri dish, and so on.

It was difficult for Fu Yan to accept such a large amount of information in a short period of time, but he tried his best to pick out the most effective part from it and understand it as much as possible.

"You mean, Shao Xuefan only participated in the research of other projects and didn't know about the zombie virus itself?" Fu Yan determined.

"It should be." Liu Ruosong said.

"I don't think he's completely telling the truth." Fu Yan shook his head and said, "If according to what you said, he was only in charge of researching rejuvenation drugs, then why did he collect Shao Qiu's DNA?"

"For the sake of protection." Liu Ruosong said: "He loves Shao Qiu very much. After knowing the existence of the zombie virus, he should want to research related drugs based on Shao Qiu's DNA, lest the virus break out like the current one, and Shao Qiu is in danger—but At that time, the deputy team ran fast, but he didn't succeed, and I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing."

"So, he knew that the virus would break out on a large scale." Fu Yan said.

Liu Ruosong looked at him suspiciously, not following Fu Yan's brain circuit for a while.

Fu Yan didn't seem to know how to explain this in a few words, so he could only change the way of asking, and said: "That is to say, Shao Xuefan had access to R-01 when he was abroad, and he 'coincidentally' knew that group of people were carrying out zombie operations." Virus experiments, and 'accidentally' saw through the secret of their intention to release virus weapons, so they fled back to China in an emergency to conduct corresponding drug experiment research——in this case, where did the R-01 sample in his hand come from? .”

Liu Ruosong was taken aback suddenly.

He suddenly discovered that this was indeed a problem that they had been ignoring all the time - when he restarted for the first time, he had brought a lot of materials from Shao Xuefan's small building, and it was mentioned in one of the project documents that they successfully completed the project on the glacier. The "unmutated species" of B-92 was extracted here.

Liu Ruosong knew that this so-called "unmutated strain" was R-01, so he never thought about it. It was only because Shao Xuefan couldn't bring back the original strain of R-01 from abroad that he had to make such a bad move and reintroduced it in the glacier. search and refine.

But at this moment, this matter was explained by Fu Yan, and Liu Ruosong suddenly discovered the strangeness of this statement.

If R-01 has always been in the hands of Joe Eden's family, how did a "defected" research expert bring a large number of original virus strains back to China to cultivate B-92.

And if Shao Xuefan had the virus strain in his hand, why did he bother to reverse extract it from the glacier? Liu Ruosong didn't quite believe that the samples were used up.

And with the project document in Shao Xuefan's hand, it seems that... Shao Xuefan had "B-92" in his hand first, and then went back to find the original strain based on this.

When it was restarted for the first time, Fu Yan had insufficient control over the information. He naively thought that B-92 was the core virus, so he didn't think about it at all.But now because of Liu Ruosong's relationship, he has more information for reference, and instead discovered an angle that he hadn't noticed the first time.

"...He is the B-92 that existed first." Liu Ruosong said, "This is not a temporary research after he has discovered the secret."

When they found out Joe Eden's trace last time, they sat down and analyzed Shao Xuefan.

At that time, Liu Ruosong guessed that when Shao Xuefan was researching on repairing medicines, he secretly followed the experimental results of his previous research on regenerative medicines.But now that Fu Yan said this, he suddenly had an even more outrageous guess—maybe B-92 was also something that Joe Eden knew about!

Or before this number, the original appearance of B-92 was not for repairing the zombie virus, but for another purpose!

Shao Xuefan's credit with Liu Ruosong has been cleared long ago, and now Liu Ruosong doesn't believe a single word he said. He overthrew the information in Shao Xuefan's mouth in his impression, and drew out a possibility from another direction.

Shao Xuefan might not even have "escaped" back at all, he was the first to return to China, perhaps Joe Eden was fully aware of it.

"...he can lie under such circumstances." Liu Ruosong said through gritted teeth.

"This is all speculation." Fu Yan said: "Whether there is evidence or not depends on the results of subsequent investigations."

It is difficult for Liu Ruosong to think about this matter completely rationally. His mind is now full of the scenes of the last few years of his previous life-at that time, Shao Xuefan was in the base like wind and rain, but experiments always hit the bottleneck. It will always only have a delaying effect, and there is still a thousand miles away from a radical cure.

Liu Ruosong has always felt that it may be because they have not been able to find the mutation anchor point of the zombie virus, so they cannot improve B-92 for the virus.

But thinking about it now, if Shao Xuefan had always known that the core nature of B-92 was not to eliminate zombie viruses, then everything he had done before was all just pretending.

No wonder, Liu Ruosong thought, no wonder Shao Xuefan gave up B-92 so easily after getting Fu Yan, so he knew that B-92 was useless.

Liu Ruosong gritted his teeth, the hatred in his heart reached its peak, and he even wanted to turn back now and shoot Shao Xuefan to death with one shot.

Fu Yan stopped him, worried: "Ruosong!"

"I know...I know." Liu Ruosong covered his forehead vaguely, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down: "There is no evidence now, so we can't act rashly. At the very least, we have to figure out what the B-92 is. What."

Liu Ruosong said while clenching the metal USB flash drive in his hand, and said: "I have to go to his research base now, there must be more things there that Fang Sining can't see."
