16 years

Ten minutes later, Fu Yan and the others completely took over the institute.

Because of the "internal response", this mission seemed to go smoothly.Even when Fu Yan and the others managed to control the situation, Feng Lei hadn't yet entered the research institute.

Fang Sining had no sense of belonging to the research institute, so he easily joined Shao Qiu's camp, and at the end he kindly provided the list of permanent staff in the research institute.

A young researcher entered the maintenance warehouse in confusion before, and wanted to climb out of the maintenance passage, but in the end he was picked out by the list and was caught by Shao Qiu in the platoon.

"Despicable country C!" Shao Qiu grabbed the man, and couldn't help yelling at Fang Sining: "Garbage, scum, traitor, rat in the gutter! You betrayed us! You sold our research results! "

When he said this, the entire research area had been taken over by Liu Ruosong, Shao Qiu frowned slightly, and knocked him unconscious with a knife.

"Actually, I don't care, Xiao Qiu." Fang Sining scratched his hair and smiled at him, "I don't know them very well either."

"I care." With a cold face, Shao Qiu dragged the researcher away like a dead dog, and stuffed him into the prison they temporarily separated.

This research institute is not small, and the research content is very complicated. Liu Ruosong went around and found that the number of samples stored is also very large.

Shao Qiu and Fu Yan each went to finish the task, investigate the safety hazards inside the institute and interrogate the researchers, so Liu Ruosong naturally stayed and asked Fang Sining about the situation here.

"Why did Joe Eden use healing medicine?" Liu Ruosong asked, "I thought his goal was to transform the physique of all human beings, and then divide the crowd into stages."

Liu Ruosong integrated the information guessed by him and Fu Yan before, and picked some concise and clear words that would not be too unbelievable, hoping to get some practical answers from Fang Sining.

In fact, Fang Sining did not disappoint him. He pondered for a while and said, "It's because Joe Eden wanted to find a guarantee for himself—his conversion medicine is gone."

"What medicine?" Liu Ruosong asked with a thought.

"I don't know much about this matter, I just heard about it from their former researcher." Fang Sining said, "You already know about Eden One. In fact, I heard from them that besides Eve, Joe Eden himself also There should be medicine - after Eve injected Eden One, they obtained more medicine samples and genetic transformation conditions, and made a matching medicine. That medicine was made for the R-01 anchor point, theoretically No matter how far the zombie virus evolves, it can be immune to infection."

"But I don't know if this potion is useless, or it has been lost." Fang Sining said: "So he lost the most important guarantee - other conversion potions and physical transformation methods are too harmful to the human body, so he dare not try it lightly. "

Liu Ruosong thought that this person was crazy, but he was shrewd and afraid of death.

"Then how is your current research progress?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"Not too good." Fang Sining shook his head and said, "The infection of zombies is irreversible. At this stage, we can only block it."

"That is to say, if a person is infected with the zombie virus, his body will immediately start to mutate." Fang Sining seemed to be afraid that Liu Ruosong would not understand, so he explained in detail: "Our current drug research progress is only as far as possible. Blocking the point where the virus continues to multiply, but for the part that has become zombies, it cannot be reversed."

The results of this experiment are similar to Liu Ruosong’s previous conclusions and conjectures—the zombie virus is almost irreversible, and the damage to the human body caused by the virus is permanent. Unless the zombified part of the person is cut off and replaced with a new one, it will be difficult to solve the zombie. chemical invasion.

"Can it be completely blocked?" Liu Ruosong said, "How long is the efficiency?"

"It takes about eight hours for the medicine to take effect." Fang Sining said: "After it takes effect, it can be completely blocked, even if it is a moderate to severe zombification, but during these eight hours, the zombie virus will continue to infect the human body."

When talking about this topic, Fang Sining seemed a little depressed, he lowered his eyes and sighed, not knowing what he was regretting.

"It may be that the time is too tight, or it may be that I am not capable personally—" Fang Sining said: "I don't believe that there is no cure for the virus at all. If you give me more time, I might be able to make more progress. "

"Fang Sining." Liu Ruosong pressed his shoulder and said, "You are already a very good researcher, and it is not easy to do this."

Maybe it's because of the love they have worked together, or maybe it's because Shao Qiu and Liu Ruosong have a good attitude towards Sining, and even have a natural sense of intimacy.

Fang Sining glanced at him in surprise, as if a little surprised.

But he didn't ask anything, just swiped open the security gate to the core research area with his authority card, and led Liu Ruosong all the way in.

The living samples of the zombies are placed in the outer room, and the core research area only has ready-made medicines, virus samples, and some small petri dishes for research.

The entire core area is divided into several different compartments, which are sealed and separated by extremely high-strength alloy doors. It is difficult to enter without an authorization card.

The partition wall is half metal and half glass, Liu Ruosong stopped and couldn't help knocking with his fingers.

"It's very hard." Fang Sining smiled and said, "I don't know the specific material, but I heard that even diamonds can't cut through this glass, and I don't know how it is made."

"After all, it is the research institute that Joe Aiden values." Liu Ruosong withdrew his hand and said, "This is stronger than the place where Irene was detained."

Fang Sining smiled, but did not speak.

He took Liu Ruosong all the way in, but the more he walked, the more familiar Liu Ruosong felt, as if he had walked through this corridor and experienced this situation.

But he couldn't remember where he experienced it for a while, and people will suddenly feel familiar with the picture at some point. Liu Ruosong didn't know whether it was an illusion or real, so he unconsciously slowed down and carefully Trying desperately to recall all the feelings in sight.

Fang Sining didn't notice that something was wrong with him, he walked forward with all his heart, and then stopped at the door of a large compartment at the end of the corridor.

He inserted the authorization card into the card reader slot, then lowered his head to enter the access code.

Liu Ruosong glanced unconsciously from the corner of his eye, but suddenly saw a bright red color on the back of Fang Sining's neck.

Liu Ruosong's whole body trembled, and he suddenly remembered this scene.

——On his way back to Yancheng from City D, he had a dream.

At that time, Fang Sining clearly appeared in his dream, and the bright red mark Liu Ruosong on the back of his neck was particularly impressive.

Liu Ruosong's back went numb, and he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

He suddenly felt that at this moment, when everything was corresponding, his weird and inexplicable dream fell into reality in an instant, and there were real outlines in the mist that he had not seen.

Isn't that a dream, Liu Ruosong thought frightenedly, it was a prophecy, or the future that actually happened.

If time is the only axis, then why does everything in the "future" appear in the "past", at what point in time did he and Fu Yan stand, and how many layers of shackles were put on their bodies.

After Fang Sining finished entering the password, the alloy door in front of him opened left and right. He wanted to step in but found that Liu Ruosong hadn't followed, so he turned around suspiciously and greeted him.

"Mr. Liu?" Fang Sining said.

"...Here we come." Liu Ruosong agreed carelessly.

He still had lingering fears, and a bunch of conspiracy theories couldn't help popping up in his mind.Every time at this time, he subconsciously wanted to find a sense of security from Fu Yan, but unfortunately Fu Yan was not by his side at the moment, so Liu Ruosong squeezed the communicator in his pocket tightly, as if he could press it at any time.

"This is the concentrated research area." Fang Sining stepped aside without reservation, and welcomed Liu Ruosong in: "All the medicine samples, semi-finished products and finished products are stored here - as well as the zombie virus medicine we extracted."

"Because we want to determine the effectiveness of the drug, we refined the zombie virus outside." Fang Sining said, "You also know that the zombie virus is actually a targeted constitution, and young and middle-aged men will be infected faster, while The infection trend of the old, the weak, the sick, or women and children will decrease on the basis of the physique of young and middle-aged people. In order to balance these data, we have also optimized the virus—"

The size of this room is not small, and the interior is divided into several very clear areas, and the "zombie virus potion" that Fang Sining said was placed on the shelf not far from the door, covered with a transparent cover.

Several tubes of medicine were placed side by side on the test tube rack. Liu Ruosong felt that the needle tips were glowing fluorescently, perhaps due to psychological effects.

Liu Ruosong frowned slightly, and just walked a few steps there when Fang Sining stopped him.

"This is very dangerous." Fang Sining said: "Because the researchers who can enter here are all core members, these things are not locked and can be used at any time - you have to be careful, the virus leak is small, and the infection is big." .”

"Understood." Liu Ruosong said.

Liu Ruosong looked around as he spoke, and found that Fang Sining had indeed reached the limit of what he could do—the medicines in this area were all highly confidential, and there was even a row of finished products of blocking medicines in the corner.

How could Fang Sining confess everything so easily, Liu Ruosong was a little puzzled, no matter how good the relationship between him and Shao Qiu was, he wouldn't be so active in handing over everything in the base to them.

Liu Ruosong had a doubt in his mind, but at this moment, he had another more urgent question in his mind.

"Fang Sining." Liu Ruosong asked, "What's with that mark on the back of your neck?"

Fang Sining was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to see that thing, subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his neck.
