"Not human, really not human."

It was the sixth time that He Tang's emotion came from the communication headset. Liu Ruosong let out a long sigh, turned down the volume of the headset, and turned over the map in his hand to open a new page.

"Brother, at nine o'clock, there is a sensing position 200 meters away." Liu Ruosong said.

Fu Yan in the earphone agreed, and then, the point on the coordinate board in front of Liu Ruosong that belonged to Fu Yan began to move rapidly.

"So, it makes sense for a villain to become a villain." He Tang babbled on the public channel, stopping his voice from time to time, and Liu Ruosong could hear the dense gunshots from there: "—even myself It's so dark that all my own sisters are attacked. It can be seen that when people become ruthless, they don't care about relatives or not."

"It's not a relative." He Feng suddenly connected to the channel and added: "Did you lose your mind during the captain's meeting—it's a half-brother, what kind of sister is it?"

"Comrade He Feng, don't pick on me for my language flaws." He Tang complained, "It's just half of the blood relationship, rounding up is my own."

She didn't finish complaining, and He Feng had already closed the line, as if he took time out of his busy schedule to reply, just to argue with He Tang.

Liu Ruosong shook his head helplessly, seeing that Fu Yan's location had reached the coordinate point, he ticked it off the paper.

A few days ago, Fu Yan obtained a lot of insider information from Shao Xuefan. Although Shao Xuefan knew little about the petri dish project, let alone the specific coordinates, he could not help rescue Shao Qiu, but "Joe Aiden" Appearance really made Fu Yan very concerned.

The behind-the-scenes young boss, who is so unpredictable, seems to be inextricably linked to the zombie virus. If Shao Xuefan did not intentionally mislead them, then the time point when the research direction of R-01 began to "go off track" happened to coincide with the time when he was in power. Node related.

The smile on Liu Ruosong's face faded a bit, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from the clasp box next to him.

The quality of the paper was so strong that it looked like it was torn from some magazine.But judging from the color and the outline of the gray print on it, it is obviously an old book.

Liu Ruosong unfolded the page, and found that there were a few short poems crumpled and cursively typesetting on it, most of which were blurred by water stains, and only the title line at the top could barely be read.

"—the futility of earthly things and the glory of heaven."

"What?" He Tang's ears were so sharp that he caught Liu Ruosong's muttering to himself, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Liu, what are you talking about...Although the world is bad now, you won't suddenly go to believe in religion, right? ?”

"It's The Divine Comedy." Liu Ruosong said, "It's the first long poem, and this is one of the sections."

"then you--"

"He Tang." He Feng's serious voice came from the earphones: "This is a battlefield, please concentrate."

The "full name" thing was like some kind of warning that the rain was about to come, but He Tang still frightened her brother, so he let out an oh and didn't dare to intervene.

While speaking, the coordinates of the sensor screen in front of Liu Ruosong were refreshed again—the operation team was performing the surrounding cleaning tasks and collecting necessary research samples, and Liu Ruosong was sitting in the "Mobile Command" to check for them in the car in the safe zone Surrounding situation.

"The 150 meters from He Tang's two o'clock position is the boundary line of the operation area, and we can prepare to turn back." Liu Ruosong said, "Remember the soil sample—little rabbit, why haven't you moved?"

Yao Tu didn't know if he was already immune to this title or didn't have time to pay attention to it now. It took half a minute after Liu Ruosong's questioning ended before his voice came from the opposite side.

"There are too many zombies here." Yao Tu gasped and said, "I'm going to meet the captain after the end."

Liu Ruosong agreed, and synchronously showed Fu Yan's coordinates to Yao Tu.

With three tasks in mind, he held a pencil between his fingers, turned it around twice unconsciously, and finally drew a horizontal line on the paper.

"Joe Eden." Liu Ruosong looked at the line of beautifully printed and exaggerated round English, and whispered: "Does he want to be a god or a man?"

He Tang held back for a while, apparently unable to hold back his overwhelming curiosity, and whispered, "What do you mean?"

"Name." Liu Ruosong said, "The name Shao Xuefan wrote—it's actually Eden."

Liu Ruosong spelled it out emphatically, and then arrived: "It means the Garden of Eden. Adam probably wanted to hide this meaning, so he changed the pronunciation."

"Hiss—" He Tang in the earphone took a breath, "Why do I feel so creepy?"

"Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden by God because they ate the forbidden fruit and became the ancestors of mankind." Liu Ruosong said, "I always feel that his self-awareness is a bit subtle."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Yao Tu finished his part of the task, and finally had some free time on the way to meet Fu Yan. I feel like I'm the master of the world."

Liu Ruosong shook his head habitually, and then remembered that no one was watching, so he added: "I don't think so. According to Shao Xuefan, this person has a clear goal, and he is going to research chemical weapons. Can he have courage? He has the guts to make such a big hazard, at least he is an anti-social personality."

"I agree." He Tang said, "At least normal people wouldn't do this to my sister."

I don't know if it's because of the brother-sister relationship that pokes Major He's empathy, but her focus is always around strangely.Liu Ruosong didn't try to break her train of thought, and said to himself: "According to Shao Xuefan, he doesn't know much about R-01, but because of the cooperation with each other, he has heard something about their family——Joe's father even Married two wives, they are a pair of sisters."

"Dear sister." Fu Yan added.

"Yes, sisters." Liu Ruosong intentionally said to He Tang, "And they are a bit closer than yours—they are twin sisters."

"Stamp collection?" He Tang complained, "What's the point of marrying two identical wives?"

"Joe Eden and 'Petri dish' were born by these two wives." Liu Ruosong said: "The time difference between their pregnancies is almost the same, and the two children were born only one hour apart. According to Shao Xuefan, it may be because of the maternal It's a matter of genetics, the two children look so much alike, almost—"

Before Liu Ruosong could finish his sentence, the driver's door was suddenly pulled open, he stumbled, and when he looked back, he found that He Feng had finished the operation mission neatly and turned back.

He Feng gestured to him, signaling him not to worry about himself.

"I'm sorry, I'll continue." Liu Ruosong said, "But Shao Xuefan has never met these two children himself, and what happened to their family was told by old Aiden himself."

"An arms dealer likes to gossip about his family." He Tang complained.

"I talked about it after drinking." Liu Ruosong said: "And, at that time, old Aiden used this as a 'record' to show off."

"Boring." He Tang said: "Throughout the ages, showing off women and wealth is the only hobby left by men."

"Of course, Captain, I didn't mention you." He Tang immediately added.

Liu Ruosong: "..."

He Feng: "..."

Yao Tu: "..."

Several men who entered the public channel all at once were silent for a moment, Liu Ruosong wanted to laugh, and said to himself, would it be easier to bully us together?

"He Tang." He Feng said with a cold face, "Don't interrupt."

He Tang rolled on the ground with sharp eyes and quick hands, and knocked a zombie's head off with his backhand. He adjusted the earphones, and made a zipper gesture on his mouth subconsciously, regardless of whether the other side couldn't see her.

"The 'record' he flaunted is not that he married two beautiful women, but that he killed a traitor with his hands, he was vigilant, and he was brave and brilliant." Liu Ruosong in the earphones paused, and explained kindly: "It may be twins. There may be a wonderful psychological connection between them, or it may be that the twins have similar tastes—the two sisters cheated at the same time within three months, and they both had the same person.”

"At that time, old Aiden was enraged and used lynching to hang the two women together. I heard that the two poor women died after hanging for three days and three nights." Liu Ruosong said: "According to the elder Aiden, Joe Eden was forced to watch this 'performance' at the time."

"So you suspect that this is why he has a distorted temperament and developed a cold and anti-social personality?" Fu Yan asked.

Captain Fu doesn't easily chat in the public channel, but he hits the nail on the head when he opened his mouth. Liu Ruosong hummed and said, "I have this idea, and according to the order of 'sister first' who cheated, it is very likely that Qiao blamed his aunt because he hated her aunt. His sister—that's normal logic."

"But?" Fu Yan said.

"But there is one problem." Liu Ruosong pinched the crumpled paper again: "If 'Adam' is here, what is Eve doing?"

"What?" Fu Yan asked.

"I have a very strange premonition. I always feel that the 'Petri Dish Project' is not a deliberate revenge. I know this kind of conjecture is outrageous, but I always feel that the metaphor of Adam should have a deeper meaning." Liu Ruosong Said: "Adam and Eve were punished to the world and became the ancestors of human beings. Eve was called the mother of life because she gave birth to offspring..."

"Brother." Liu Ruosong whispered, "Don't you think this is essentially similar to the 'Petri Dish Project'?"

A biological virus that cannot coexist in the human body, after undergoing the "transformation" of a special person, has an extremely powerful infection ability.

If symbiosis is called "breeding", then this unique petri dish is already qualified to be the "mother of life" for viruses.

He Tang in the public channel took another breath, and got goosebumps all over his body.

"Eve is Adam's rib." Liu Ruosong said, "They are the same person."
