16 years

The "idlers" in the room filed out, and He Tang was the last one. He was not at ease when he was about to go out, and couldn't help but look back.

Fu Yan waved at her, so He Tang didn't say anything, and even helped close the door.

The sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, and then Fu Yan took Liu Ruosong's hand in an awkward posture sitting on the ground, and brought him forward.

It took only a minute or two from hanging up the notification call, and Liu Ruosong's palm was already as cold as a piece of ice.

After two life and death partings, his nerves were extremely sensitive. Although he usually restrained himself very well, it was difficult for Liu Ruosong to remain absolutely calm once he encountered that dangerous high-tension line.

His face was ugly, he was dragged to Fu Yan's side almost like a marionette, and said anxiously: "Brother——"

"It's okay." Fu Yan still said the same thing. He put Liu Ruosong's hand in his palm, put it to his mouth, took a deep breath, and patiently rubbed the back of his hand to warm it up.

"Tell me, why did Shao Xuefan suddenly ask for a blood sample?" Fu Yan asked casually.

"...Maybe the same thinking as Fang Sining's last time." Liu Ruosong's hands trembled unnaturally, and he said in a low voice, "They are a teacher and a student, and it's normal for them to have similar research habits. Moreover, R-01 was not able to act on the human body in the first place. virus, but it can take root and sprout on the 'petri dish', which means that maybe not all human bodies absolutely reject viruses, and maybe there is some 'chosen child' in the vast sea of ​​people, who can directly integrate with the original plant."

Liu Ruosong was a little bit at a loss for words, he took a deep breath, forced to suppress the panic in his heart, and then continued: "Shao Xuefan also asked for a sample of the zombie virus. I guess he wants to start from this angle."

"He wants to find someone who can communicate with the virus?" Fu Yan asked, "What happens after you find it?"

"Yes." Liu Ruosong said, "This person has a much wilder style of work than Fang Sining's. I guess he wants to find that person, and then deduce the characteristics of the virus from him. He is looking for a person who will not be infected by the virus at all... After he finds it, what he will do is something that cannot be carefully considered."

Liu Ruosong looked into Fu Yan's eyes firmly, and said, "In the final analysis, this goal is very evil. I can't be sure that he has no good intentions at all, but it's true that the moral hazard is extremely high. Although you can only talk to B-92 Coexistence and incompatibility, but I don't dare to take risks. Shao Xuefan's way is too wild, if he finds you... I don't know what he will do."

"It's okay." Fu Yan said, "We don't participate in blood collection."

"Impossible." Liu Ruosong said: "Relevant notices have already been sent out. Shao Xuefan is a rare person who can live in a rare commodity, and his words are very important. Just now, I was notified on the first day that it will be two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and everyone in the military area must be on time. -"

Liu Ruosong was in the middle of speaking, as if he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly froze.

"Huh?" Fu Yan looked at him with a smile: "Have you reacted?"

"But, but..." Liu Ruosong stuttered, and said, "I don't mean to prepare for a few days..."

"The petri dish project is very important. Shaoqiu escaped from their research base, and he has already panicked the enemy. Maybe the enemy is already preparing an evacuation plan. The speed of the army is very important. If you wait any longer, it may delay the opportunity of the war." Fu Yan did not panic. Not busy, justified, even smiled and squeezed Liu Ruosong's hand: "What time is it?"

Before Liu Ruosong could react, he subconsciously looked down at the watch on his wrist.

"Three fifteen in the afternoon." Liu Ruosong said.

"There are still fifteen hours to prepare." Fu Yan said, "It's too late."

"But if you can hide from the first day of the new year, you can't hide from the fifteenth day." Liu Ruosong was still worried: "We have to come back."

"Wakasong, if you care about it, it will be messed up." Fu Yan slightly raised the volume, and said in a firm tone: "This time I went to search for the petri dish project, even if I can't bring back the petri dish, I have to get it from their research institute. Pull off a layer of belt and come back—when the time comes, there will be a real master, how can Shao Xuefan have the time to pay attention to me?"

"Okay." Fu Yan didn't give Liu Ruosong a chance to continue thinking wildly and frighten himself: "I'm going to make an action report with No. [-], and you go to inform them and get ready to go—can it be done?"

If Fu Yan can escape this kind of drag-and-drop investigation, not to mention simply running errands to report a letter, even if Liu Ruosong is asked to go to the sky to pick the moon, he can carry the ladder to the rooftop to try.

He was reassured by Fu Yan's few words, as if he had received a booster shot out of thin air, he excitedly put his arms around Fu Yan's neck and kissed him, saying yes repeatedly.

Liu Ruosong didn't want to delay for a moment, as if he was afraid that things might change, he staggered to his feet, and was swept out of the room like a gust of wind.

Fu Yan watched him run out in a hurry, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.

He was the only one left in the huge living room, and the documents scattered on the floor hadn't been cleaned up. Fu Yan "looked at" the photo on the top floor for a while, and stood up with one hand propped up.

He walked to the window, lifted the screen and looked out. One minute later, Liu Ruosong's figure appeared in front of the building. He walked quickly, fiddled with the Xu device while walking, Fu Yan quietly watched his back run away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips again.

It's just that the smile seemed very faint and careless, it didn't seem to have anything to do with Fu Yan's own mood, it was just a chain reaction brought by Liu Ruosong.

Liu Ruosong's figure quickly disappeared around the corner, and the gentleness in Fu Yan's eyes disappeared along with the smile. He supported the window sill with one hand, and after a long while, a little tiredness appeared in his expression.

He bent his shoulders slightly, and hesitantly stretched out his hands to cover his heart, relieving a burst of needle-like neuralgia.

Do it again and again, struggle twice in the life and death, if you say that it has no effect, it is purely a lie to the child.

There is a limit to the pressure that the body and mind can bear. Fu Yan's nerves of steel don't care about repeating it again and again, but there are some imprints in the soul that Fu Yan can't control.

When he died for the first time, he was eaten by zombies in the Twin Towers; the second time, he died of complications from the collapse of the immune system-this is not a "happy" way to die, and it caused him more or less affected a little.

Fu Yan sometimes feels neuralgia for no reason. He knows in his heart that this is a sequela caused by psychological effects, and has nothing to do with his body after restarting, so he will pay attention to control on weekdays, but occasionally when he is extremely exhausted, there will be pain. Unforeseen circumstances.

Just now Shao Xuefan suddenly asked for a blood sample without warning, not to mention Liu Ruosong, Fu Yan himself was also a little nervous.

But he couldn't show it, because Liu Ruosong was already very disturbed, and if he couldn't stabilize, Liu Ruosong would be even more afraid.

So Fu Yan knew in his heart that no matter what, he couldn't panic first.

He gave himself 3 minutes to adjust his state and breathe. After 3 minutes, the countdown in Fu Yan's mind was over. He straightened up again, stretched his clothes, and smoothed out the wrinkles.

Then Fu Yan picked up his coat, first sent a message to Zhao Jincheng asking for a meeting, packed up the scattered documents all over the floor, and took them out together.

This time, we are going to find the "petri dish", which is different from the previous mission of finding objects and saving lives.They want to pick up their precious lumps from the enemy's lair, which is naturally incomparable with the difficulty of picking up abandoned machinery from among the zombies.Rao is as big-hearted as Major He Tang, so he must be more careful this time.

"It's a pity that Xiaotu'er and Ziming are not here." He Tang threw a compressed logistics package into the trunk, and said in a low voice, "Why is the captain suddenly in such a hurry?"

Recently, the special operations team didn't have remote missions, so Yao Tu and Qu Ziming were temporarily seconded out. One was in charge of following the second team for logistics support, and the other was borrowed to another team to help transport a large medical device.

These two missions are not in Yancheng, and it takes less than a week to go back and forth. Fu Yan suddenly made a decision to set off, and these two people must not be able to come back in time.

Liu Ruosong was comparing the items on the list with a pile of supplies. He felt guilty for a moment, but he couldn't say it was to avoid Shao Xuefan.

"It makes sense." He Tang was persuaded: "If they have this idea, I'm afraid they are already preparing to run away."

"On the [-]st, I called the people from the Military Region of the B Department. They will send people to check the situation there first. If there is any suspicious situation, they will watch it for us first." Liu Ruosong said: "The captain told me before that this This time we can’t rely on just a few of us, we have to rely on the cooperation of the brothers in the local military region, and it’s best to catch them all.”

"I heard that the situation in the B Department military area is better." He Tang said: "Their side has high mountains and a lot of water, and the terrain is conducive to escape. The overall disaster situation is probably better than that in the south."

"Since Joe Aiden dared to put the base camp there, he should have countermeasures, not afraid of affecting himself after the fall of the city." Liu Ruosong helped He Tang throw a box of ammunition into the car, and wiped the oil on his palms: "The captain guessed and drew a rough range, and the rest just needs to find a suitable place within this range-first, the area must be sufficient; second, there must be water and electricity, not far from the Honglan River; finally, this place There must be enough water reserves.”

"I hope Joe Eden is there too." He Tang said suddenly: "I really want to see what this pervert who is so insane that he wants to drag the whole world to be buried with him looks like."

"Forget it." He Feng interrupted suddenly: "Is it worth buying a ticket for an antisocial personality disorder?"

He Tang: "..."

"How come it's so strange to say good words from your mouth?" He Tang puzzled, "Comrade He Feng, reflect on whether you are good or not."

Liu Ruosong leaned against the side of the car door, amusedly listening to their brother and sister chattering, and just when he was getting excited, he felt the communicator vibrate in his hand.

He looked down at the new notification and found it was from Fu Yan.

"No. [-] agreed." Fu Yan's message read: "Wait for me, leave at any time."
