16 years

Yue Yue was too young, and as soon as she entered the laboratory building, she was frightened by the faint howls of zombies downstairs, and she turned her head and wanted to run away.

Liu Ruo took a few steps and grabbed her by the collar, trying to convince the children that they were not vicious villains in horror movies, but uncle doctors who were treating people.

"The sound insulation in this building is really not very good." Liu Ruosong pressed the elevator button and whispered, "Even children can hear them."

"No way." Fu Yan hung his arms, patted Yueyue's head awkwardly, and said, "She was quite frightened when she was in the wild."

That's true, Liu Ruosong thought, for an older child like her to be outside alone, let alone escaping from a zombie, just spending the night in the wild is scary enough.

Yueyue looked at the two of them left and right, and for some reason, as if she was getting closer to Fu Yan, she took advantage of the situation and grabbed Fu Yan's sleeve without letting go, hugged his legs and hid behind him.

"It's okay." Liu Ruosong bent down, trying to coax her: "I'm with this uncle."

Yue Yue shook her head, she put one arm around Fu Yan's leg, took his hand with the other and sniffed it, as if she had confirmed something, she grabbed his leg and refused to let go.

Liu Ruosong looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter? Is there anything special about this uncle?"

Yue Yue blinked at him, refused to let go like a koala, stubbornly hugged Fu Yan's leg and hid in the corner.

Fu Yan looked down at her, then bent down and picked her up with one hand.

"elder brother--"

"It's okay, it's very light." Fu Yan said, "I'll do it."

Yueyue was like a kitten to Fu Yan, not too heavy, and Fu Yan held her with one hand with ease.

Yueyue didn't know why she trusted him so much, she didn't struggle when she was picked up suddenly, she lay on Fu Yan's shoulder and grabbed his collar.

"Okay." Liu Ruosong said helplessly, "For your sake, I'll let you hug me for a while."

The elevator floor gradually went up, and the voice of the zombies gradually disappeared, but Yue Yue was still very nervous, clutching Fu Yan's clothes, her eyes turned around vigilantly.

Half of Liu Ruosong's office floor is the office area, and the other half is the experimental area. As soon as the elevator door opens, the experimenters in white coats come and go outside. The sharp-eyed person sees Liu Ruosong, and rushes up to say something with the data in his hand.

"Don't talk about it yet." Liu Ruosong said: "The normal data report will be concentrated in the evening meeting. If there is no emergency, please don't bother."

The researcher was not very old, only in his early thirties, a report choked in his throat, his eyes looked left and right, and he slid from Fu Yan to Yue Yue. Nodding his head, he made way for the open space in front of the elevator door.

"Liugong, go ahead." The researcher said, "I'll go and tell them not to come up if there's nothing wrong."

Liu Ruosong: "..."

The researcher ran down the stairs quickly, and Fu Yan couldn't help laughing, and had a new view on Liu Ruosong's daily working environment.

"Very lively." Fu Yan said, "It's about to compete with He Tang."

"I can't help it." Liu Ruosong sighed and joked with him: "The world is hard enough, but if you are dead, you will be depressed together."

He said that he led Fu Yan and Yue Yue to disinfect in the rest area outside, and then walked in along the corridor.

There are not so many bloody test sites on Liu Ruosong's floor. Most of the glass rooms are sample cultivation areas and data collection areas. There are only large-scale experimental equipment as tall as one person, and there are no dissected zombie corpses.

Yueyue looked around, probably felt that the environment was quite friendly, so she tentatively let go of Liu Ruosong's clothes.

When they entered the door, they bumped into Lu Li walking out. The young man's face was so pale that it was abnormally white.He was covering the elbow of his right hand with his left hand, and the coat draped over his shoulders would not fall off.

Liu Ruosong glanced at him and frowned slightly.

"Did you draw blood again?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"Ah... yes." Lu Li nodded, forced a smile, and said, "Come downstairs and ask me, saying that you accidentally contaminated a batch of samples, and asked me if you have any spares here, so I think—"

"Did anyone see it?" Liu Ruosong frowned.

"No." Lu Li said hastily, "In the innermost room, I smoked it myself."

"As I said last time, if you don't want to die, you'd better hide the matter of the blood sample better." Liu Ruosong said, "And the milliliters of your blood drawn this week have already exceeded the rated value I set."

"I'm sorry." Lu Li lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake, "I also wanted to help."

"... Forget it." Liu Ruosong said, "Go and rest, I don't need your help today."

Lu Li pumped 600CC in one breath, and now he felt dizzy, so he nodded and walked out slowly while leaning on the wall.

He brushed Liu Ruosong's shoulders, only to realize that Fu Yan was holding a little girl in his arms behind him. Before he could ask about the situation, Yue Yue suddenly stretched out his hand accurately and grabbed Lu Li's clothes.

"Huh?" Lu Li was still at a loss, "Little friend, do you know me?"

Yue Yue blinked her eyes, her dark eyes stared at him, she didn't move and didn't speak.

Liu Ruosong's eyes scanned the three of them, suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Lu Li.

"Leave later." Liu Ruosong said, "Come."

Lu Li was dragged back to the treatment room in a daze, until he sat down and saw Liu Ruosong took out another set of blood collection tools, then he realized something belatedly.

"This—" Lu Li pointed at Yueyue, "It's so small, isn't it?"

"You won't know until you have the test." Liu Ruosong squatted down and motioned Yue Yue to pull up the sleeves of her clothes: "It will be fine soon, it won't hurt."

Yueyue was a little afraid of needles, grabbed Fu Yan's clothes and wanted to hide behind him, but was stopped by Fu Yan pushing his back.

"It's okay." Fu Yan said seriously, "Trust this uncle."

Yue Yue obviously trusted him, she bit her lip and thought for a while, then rolled up her large shirt sleeves and exposed her thin arms to Liu Ruosong.

Liu Ruosong quickly took three tubes of blood samples from her, Yue Yue frowned in pain, but held back without struggling, until Liu Ruosong let go of her, she hid behind Fu Yan in a jerk.

"Brother, stretch out your hand."

Liu Ruosong put Yueyue's blood sample away, and then shot at Fu Yanyan.

After restarting this time, Liu Ruosong very much rejected Fu Yan's entry into the laboratory building, and even rejected him having anything to do with these things. This was the first time he had asked Fu Yan to provide blood samples so actively.

Fu Yan looked at him in surprise, but didn't say anything, and obediently passed his arm over.

Liu Ruosong took his blood as usual, and then turned around and put all three blood samples into the testing machine.

Data collection takes time, Liu Ruosong thought about it, half knelt down, and waved at Yueyue.

"Uncle asked you a question." Liu Ruosong tried his best to look amiable: "Why does Yueyue like this uncle so much?"

Liu Ruosong pointed to Fu Yan, then to Lu Li: "And why did you hold this uncle?"

Yue Yue bit her lip and looked at him, and seriously thought about his question, but it was a pity that she didn't seem to understand, so she shook her head after a while, indicating that she didn't know.

"Is it because you think the two of them are closer?" Liu Ruosong asked, "Is it because I like the taste of the two of them more?"

Yue Yue was able to judge this time, she nodded immediately without any hesitation.

"Why?" Liu Ruosong tentatively chose a word: "Do you feel similar?"

Yue Yue hesitated for a while this time, but finally nodded.

Fu Yan's face darkened slightly, he thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Can she tell who is the experimental subject?"

"It seems to be so now." Liu Ruosong said, "Although I don't know the reason, she should be able to recognize who the 'similar' is from the smell."

Liu Ruosong thought for a while, then asked again: "Brother, can you?"

"I can't." Fu Yan shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything at all, let alone any special smell."

Liu Ruosong turned his head again, Lu Li quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't smell anything either."

How did Yueyue recognize "the same kind" at such a young age? Liu Ruosong frowned and looked at her in puzzlement.

Is it because the age is too young, so there is a mutation?Liu Ruosong thought.

He was thinking about it when one of the detectors behind him suddenly turned on a red light. Liu Ruosong looked back and found that it was the machine with Yueyue's blood sample that suddenly called the police.

He walked over with a frown, scanned the data that jumped out, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"What's wrong?" Fu Yan asked.

Liu Ruosong didn't answer, he took out the blood collection tube and put it into another instrument with his backhand.This time the instrument alarmed faster than before, and the alarm light began to flash almost as soon as it was put in.

"Her blood sample showed signs of zombie infection," Liu Ruosong said.

"Impossible." Fu Yan's face also became ugly: "When I came back, I had a checkup. He Tang took her to the medical center to do it. It is impossible to miss the wound on her body."

This is outrageous, the detection machines cannot make mistakes together, but He Tang and the security check area will never make such a high-risk mistake, Liu Ruosong's expression changed several times, and finally he squatted down and gently pushed Yue Yue from behind Fu Yan's legs brought out.

"Yueyue, have you ever been bitten by a monster?" Liu Ruosong said.

Yue Yue was startled, her eyes wandered from side to side, her head was buried low, and she shook vigorously.

"To be honest, don't be afraid, I won't throw you outside." Liu Ruosong intentionally misled Yueyue, pointed at Fu Yan and Lu Li and said, "You see that both uncles are still living here, right? "

Speaking of Fu Yan, Yue Yue obviously felt that the credibility of this sentence was much higher. She turned her head and looked at Fu Yan, then took a step back under the affirmative gaze of the other party, and whispered: "Dad bit it, and then Mom let me run-"

"Where did you bite?" Liu Ruosong said.

Yue Yue pointed to her arm.

Liu Ruosong and Fu Yan looked at each other, then reached out and rolled up Yueyue's sleeves, and saw that there was indeed a tooth mark on the outside of her upper arm, but the wound had already healed, leaving only a shallow white mark.
