Fu Yan's identity was more or less useful. After confirming his identity, the other side quickly dispelled the suspicion of Fu Yan, and only said that they would coordinate with the police to arrive at the scene soon.

Fu Yan discussed it with Liu Ruosong, and finally decided to take the risk of staying at the scene, lest the group of people really turn back and destroy the evidence, and they would have made this trip in vain.

They didn't move Shao Xuefan who was on the ground, but covered his face with his coat, and retreated to a corner of the room away from the door and window.

During the blank time waiting for the police to come, Liu Ruosong tried to contact the student he had connected with before on the chat interface, and wanted to ask about Fang Sining's situation.

It's a pity that the other party has not responded, and I don't know if he has also been killed.

Liu Ruosong didn't understand how he could encounter such a vicious incident when he was only in contact with an ordinary business event. He unlocked and unlocked the phone's screen a little annoyed, and stared at the chat interface on it.

Fu Yan glanced at him sideways, and for a moment, he wanted to tell Liu Ruosong everything - including what would happen next, and his "last life".

But this thought only appeared for a second before he was suppressed by himself.

Although he knew that no matter what he said, Liu Ruosong would believe it, but firstly, those things were too bizarre, and secondly, since Shao Xuefan, things were not quite the same as what he remembered, and there were still a bunch of mysteries in front of him, There is really no way to answer Liu Ruosong's questions.

Fu Yan was not a talkative character, and when Liu Ruosong was silent, he seemed a little too quiet.

The two of them remained silent for 10 minutes before Liu Ruosong slid down against the wall and sat down on the ground.

"Brother, what shall we do next?" Liu Ruosong bent one leg, rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Shao Xuefan is considered a master of the subject anyway, and he may be in trouble after he dies like this."

"Wait for the news, and then go to Fang Sining first." Fu Yan said: "Shao Xuefan has so many students, but he is mentioned, maybe he knows something."

Hearing this, Liu Ruosong raised his head and looked at Fu Yan. There was something he wanted to ask just now, but he was interrupted by the police call, and now he remembered.

"You don't seem to be surprised at all." Liu Ruosong tilted his head to look at him, and said strangely: "Why...he has something to do with your 'butterfly'?"

Fu Yan couldn't help but exchanged glances with him.

He felt a little bit amused, but also a little bit emotional—Liu Ruosong really knew him so well that he knew nothing, but he was still able to make two things out of his anomaly connect together.

Fu Yan didn't know how to explain to him, so he could only lower his eyes to look at him, and then extended the hand hanging by his side to Liu Ruosong.

"Who is not surprised." Fu Yan said, "My hands are cold."

Fu Yan spoke sternly, but Liu Ruosong was inexplicably amused by his seriousness, he pursed his lips and smiled, and stretched out his hand to grab Fu Yan's fingertips.

The two of them waited for another twenty or ten minutes. Fu Yan was distracted and listened to the movement outside, fearing that the group of people would leave and return, but Liu Ruosong felt something was wrong first.

"Why hasn't the police been dispatched for so long?" Liu Ruosong frowned and said, "Shouldn't the timeliness be so low, the vicious murder case, didn't they come to the door for half an hour?"

When he said this, Fu Yan also realized something, he thought for a while, and then ordered: "Call again and try."

When Fu Yan spoke, Liu Ruosong had already dialed the alarm call.However, the strange thing is that this time even the alarm call went the old way of the emergency call, and the line was busy twice before it was answered.

There was a new operator over there who spoke very fast and sounded hoarse.

"Is it the Huainan Road incident? We've already—"

"What Huainan Road?" Liu Ruosong interrupted him, wondering, "We reported a murder witness half an hour ago, aren't you going to call the police?"

The other side of the phone choked, followed by a silence that lasted for more than ten seconds. Liu Ruosong waited patiently for a while before hearing the response from the other side of the phone.

"I'm very sorry, right now I may... temporarily be unable to get rid of the manpower." The other party said: "A vicious incident happened on Huainan Road. The situation is urgent. Please wait for a while."

Liu Ruosong thought that he had heard the Arabian Nights. He hung up the phone, only to feel that things were far beyond his imagination.

City S is such a big place, not to mention the police, the police station does not know how many there are, and how many "vicious" incidents are required to cause the "understaffed" situation.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Fu Yan frowned slightly and asked what was wrong.

Liu Ruosong didn't have time to explain to him in detail. While repeating the operator's words to Fu Yan, he opened the social software casually, changed the hot topic to real time, and searched in the same city.

He quickly found a help blog in real time, which said that a large shopping mall on Huainan Road suddenly had an accident, and a rabies patient went mad and bit people innocently, and had already bitten many people.That shopping mall happened to be holding a large-scale event today, and there were at least 5 to [-] people in it. Now the situation is chaotic, and there have even been two stampedes.

This help blog should have been sent by a person at the scene, followed by a ten-second video. The video shooter was very flustered, and the camera shook violently. Liu Ruosong pressed 0.5 times the speed to see clearly what was inside. What does it look like.

To be honest, he took the term "rabies" very seriously.

The crowd in the video is swarming and fleeing, with a few screams and roars mixed in from time to time, blood sprayed on the wall, and there is a kind of shocking horror to watch.

Liu Ruosong's heart was pounding, and before he could speak, he felt his wrist tighten and was suddenly grabbed by Fu Yan.

He looked sideways, only to find that Fu Yan's face was ugly as hell, as if he could squeeze out water. His eyes were fixed on the screen until the short video finished playing, and then it automatically replayed it again.

This is wrong, Fu Yan thought, how could it be so early.

In the previous life, the "end of the world" came on June [-]st, and the location was not a shopping mall in S City, but a large stadium in Shencheng.At that time, there was a farewell concert of a well-known singer in the venue, and the venue was overcrowded and messy.

So once the disease started to spread, it was difficult to control it in the shortest time. At that time, too many people escaped from the open venues, and the local social structure began to collapse within three days.

Fu Yan thought that at least such an important node would not change, but he never thought that the "end of the world" in this life came a full ten days earlier.

Is it because of my return, Fu Yan thought, or——

Fu Yan's peripheral vision suddenly passed Shao Xuefan's body not far away, and his eyes suddenly froze.

—— Or is it because I have "changed" the original direction in this life, Fu Yan thought.

In his previous life, Shao Xuefan's death was faked as an accident, and no one knew about it before the end of the world.But this time, he happened to break through the murder case with his front foot, and the "end of the world" was brought forward with his back foot.

Fu Yan's heart sank, it was hard to convince himself that this was a pure coincidence.

A very bad guess faintly appeared in his mind, so that his expression looked a little dignified.

Liu Ruosong didn't know that he had gone through the memories of his previous life in his mind, so he shook Fu Yan's arm worriedly, and called him.

"No more." Fu Yan suddenly stood up straight, pulled Liu Ruosong up from the ground, and said, "Let's look separately and see if Shao Xuefan has any clues about Fang Sining... Oh yes, if we find any useful information , and take them with you.”

Liu Ruosong was confused, and asked, "What is useful information?"

Fu Yan was questioned by him. He could drive any vehicle except nuclear submarines, and he could enter and exit the zombie tide three times, but he really didn't know anything about scientific research.So Fu Yan was silent for two seconds, and decided to leave the decision to Liu Ruosong.

"Look." Fu Yan said: "Based on your professional knowledge, he will take away everything he researches."

Liu Ruosong: "..."

Fortunately, I know you well enough, Liu Ruosong slandered: Otherwise, I would have suspected that you came to cooperate with those people inside and outside to steal research secrets.

It's a pity that Shao Xuefan's family didn't have a lot of professional materials. They split up and searched the villa up and down, but they couldn't find any core materials. Except for Liu Ruosong who found two project procurement books that were not painful, Fu Yan was so empty-handed that he didn't even find Fang Sining's contact information.

Shao Xuefan's cell phone had a face recognition password, and it was difficult for Fu Yan to obtain the information inside, so he simply took the cell phone away with him.

The two of them were delayed in the small building for more than two hours. Before leaving, Fu Yan remembered something, dragged Liu Ruosong to dig a hole in the courtyard, and let Shao Xuefan "bury in the ground".

"How about we do this?" Liu Ruosong held the shovel, a little worried: "Will it destroy the clues or something? What if they finish their work and come to the police later."

No one will come, Fu Yan thought. According to his understanding, the zombie virus in the early days of the end of the world is extremely powerful, almost 100% contagious. Except for the wounded who were bitten, those who had wounds on their bodies and were contaminated with zombie body fluids were also infected. Infection will occur, but the mutation rate is slower.

This place will soon fall into chaos. At that time, no one will take care of Shao Xuefan at all.

"It's okay." Fu Yan said, "Do him a favor, we can't let him rot in the house."

Liu Ruosong thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense. He didn't think about how the conclusion of "rotten in the house" was reached, and was easily persuaded by Fu Yan.

He buried Shao Xuefan with Fu Yan, and then Fu Yan drove away Shao Xuefan's car as a matter of course

Fu Yan's behavior was too natural, Liu Ruosong watched from the side, always felt that he seemed to be too purposeful.

"Where are we going now?" Liu Ruosong asked.

According to Fu Yan's understanding, the first three days of the "end times" are the scariest. People don't know enough about this incident, and the situation is chaotic. There are people everywhere who may be infected but don't know it.At this time, no place is safe, so it's better to take Liu Ruosong with you, and let him act alone when he becomes vigilant outside.

Fu Yan made up his mind and said, "Go to Huainan Road first, and check the situation from a distance."
