"If I think about it carefully, I can't cure it anyway. If you throw me into the ambulance, I will have to bite someone else. Those doctors are not as skilled as we are. It's better not to go out and harm people."

In the public channel, Fu Yan's channel was closed, but that of the SWAT captain was not.

His tone was very light, probably because he didn't want to leave room for himself to repent, so he spoke in a hurry.

In the headset, Fu Yan didn't speak.

The man dispatching outside was taken aback, afraid that he would be overwhelmed, he tried to persuade him a few times, saying that the hospital had not yet reached a conclusion, and the matter might not have reached such a difficult point.

But the person on the other side of the headset didn't make a sound or respond. After two quick breaths, the headset seemed to be picked off by someone, thrown on the ground and crushed, losing the call signal.

The mall was quiet for a few seconds, and then a gunshot rang out, even the signal from Fu Yan's earphones disappeared.

The gunshot was very close to the guarded gate, and the people around the cordon fell silent at the same time, turning their heads to look in the direction of the gunshot.

The street on the first floor is a chain fast food restaurant. Behind the transparent and clean glass, the tables and chairs are swaying here and there. A suffocating silence spreads among everyone, along with instinctive panic and uneasiness.

Liu Ruosong's heart was thumping, he didn't expect that Fu Yan would actually shoot. With the character of the other party, let alone just being infected, as long as the doctor didn't assert that the thing couldn't be cured, he could even "raise" it forever. A group of things, until the day when there is a final conclusion.

His heart was in a mess, he wanted Fu Yan to come out and ask for clarification, but he was also afraid that he would cause trouble if he came out now.

While Liu Ruosong was hesitating, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.He took out his phone and took a look, only to find that it was Fu Yan's text message.

"You go first." Fu Yan wrote in the text message: "Stay away from this street and find a place away from the crowds to wait for me."

Liu Ruosong hesitated for a while, but decided to listen to his arrangement.He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him for the time being, so he took off his earphones and put them on the police car, tightened his neckline, and carefully "swimmed" out of the crowd.

Liu Ruosong had been to City S a few times, but Fu Yan didn't come many times. He was afraid that Fu Yan would not be able to find him in the future, so he didn't go far. He just drove around a street and stopped at a back street in the business district. Near the closed snack alley.

After he settled down, he sent a message to Fu Yan to locate him, but there was no reply there, and he wondered if he was dealing with those people.

Liu Ruosong waited patiently on the spot for half an hour before Fu Yancai hurriedly turned around from the other side of the alley.He climbed through several blocked iron doors, walked to the side of the car and knocked on the window with his fingers.

Liu Ruosong hastily pressed the unlock button, and Fu Yan got into the car from the other side. Without further ado, he took off his coat, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and wiped off the brains and blood on it.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with your choice." Liu Ruosong's tone was a little dignified: "During the time you went in, the outside was already in chaos, and the group of people who were sent to the hospital first rioted, and the hospital was understaffed. Be infected again."

"Besides, I listened outside, and it seems that besides this shopping mall, other places are also in chaos." Liu Ruosong sighed, and said, "I don't know if the slightly injured people who escaped have also mutated. , or some other reason. So you..."

Liu Ruosong wanted to say that you shouldn't have too much psychological pressure, but after all, Fu Yan is a man with a strong mind and a righteous mind. He never doubts himself when he makes up his mind, and it's actually not his turn to comfort him.

So Liu Ruosong sighed, and swallowed the words back.

At times like this, Liu Ruosong will always feel some inexplicable sense of powerlessness—in all honesty, Fu Yan is an excellent partner, loyalty, equality, respect, these are the most important minefields in love , he didn't even step on it, let alone step on it.He has his own opinions but is not dictatorial. He even listens more to Liu Ruosong's opinions when he is at home. Apart from issues of principle and responsibility to his family and country, he almost asks Liu Ruosong for anything he wants.

Apart from not being romantic enough, he has almost nothing for Liu Ruosong to worry about.

No one is perfect, Liu Ruosong thinks he should be satisfied, but whenever this happens, he always feels that there is an invisible layer between him and Fu Yan.That thing made him unable to touch or touch the other party. Even though the other party was close in front of his eyes, he seemed to be unable to keep him forever.

He didn't need comfort, support, Liu Ruosong to make him suffer, he didn't even need Liu Ruosong to rack his brains to take care of his emotions.

Fu Yan is like a steel frame that will never be damaged. Whether he is outside or at home, he never seems to be in trouble.

Although Liu Ruosong felt that he was reliable, it was inevitable that he felt a little bit of detachment like "he doesn't need me that much" just like today.

Because of the special nature of the work, Fu Yan is destined to devote half of his energy to responsibility. Liu Ruosong understands this quite well, and is even proud of it.Liu Ruosong considers himself a mature man, so he really doesn't have to struggle with that "sense of self-existence" all the time.

So he tidied up his emotions for a while, packed up the messy negative emotions that suddenly appeared and stuffed them into the trash can, and naturally changed the subject.

"But how did you get out? Those people didn't make things difficult for you?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"No." Fu Yan didn't notice Liu Ruosong's short-term discomfort just now. He finished washing his coat, put the slightly wet clothes on his body again, and continued: "There are videos, recordings, and ballistic evidence. If you really need it later Take responsibility, I can't run away."

Liu Ruosong understood what he meant, which meant that he was let go now because his status was higher than that of the on-site commander. If it was later determined that he had made mistakes in his job, they could settle the score at any time.

Liu Ruosong's expression was a little dignified, Fu Yan shook his hand and said it was all right.

I don't know if it's because I just touched the cold water or something, Fu Yan's fingertips were cold, Liu Ruosong subconsciously held his hand, and his strength was a little tight.

Fu Yan didn't notice his ups and downs, but thought he was frightened by the sudden attack, so he hesitated for a moment, and comforted him clumsily.

"Don't be afraid." Fu Yan said, "With me, nothing will happen to you."

He was telling the truth, even if the situation in his previous life deteriorated to that state, Liu Ruosong was still able to live inside the base because of him.Although the life is a little bit hard, safety is better than safety. After he died later, Liu Ruosong was the beneficiary of the sacrifice. As long as the other party doesn't want to run away, there will be no problem in this life.

"Brother, tell me, what is this?" Liu Ruosong said: "You are inside, I don't know, when I was outside just now, I even heard that there were people who bit people in the street... The speed of infection is too fast, the hospital The city has fallen, and they have taken people to the hospital to block it. But it still doesn’t work. There are too many minor injuries who were not controlled and did not go to the hospital. There are even biting cases on the street. Those semi-enclosed places have not yet Know how. There are children among them, like eleven or twelve-"

Liu Ruosong seemed to have recalled some tragic scene, so he didn't go into details, but stroked his hair irritably, and asked in a tired tone: "Brother, tell me, will this shit end?"

In the mall before, the special police captain also asked Fu Yan the same thing.

At that time, he had just crushed his earphones, and facing Fu Yan raised his hands horizontally, took four or five steps back, and distanced himself from him.

"Come on, brother." The captain of the special police twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "Your marksmanship is so good, just be more straightforward."

"Have you made up your mind?" Fu Yan asked.

"You weren't bitten, maybe you don't know." The special police captain frowned, his voice began to change obviously, his muscles began to stiffen, and it became much more difficult to speak: "But I feel it... It's cold, but it's like a fire. You may not believe it, but I can feel it, as if my nerves are paralyzed and my heartbeat can't be felt."

His stiffness obviously began to spread, the flocs in his pupils spread, and the other party gradually became unable to maintain his rationality, spoke incoherently, and began to salivate from his uncontrollable lips.

Fu Yan wanted to shoot at first, but before shooting, the other party probably used his remaining rationality to ask Fu Yan a word.

"Will the disaster ever end," he said.

He has clearly lost the ability to think carefully, but he still uses the word "disaster" sensitively, which sounds like an instinctive fate.

Fu Yan hummed in a low voice, and answered him firmly.

"It will end." Fu Yan said.

What he said was so firm, even though Liu Ruosong couldn't believe it completely, he still felt a little bit of comfort unavoidably.

Liu Ruosong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "That's good—by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you."

As he spoke, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket - when Fu Yan went to the mall to collect samples, he put Shao Xuefan's mobile phone in the car.Liu Ruosong was worried when he got off the car, so he simply carried it with him.

It just so happened that when Fu Yan was in the mall just now, a student from Shao Xuefan who was on a business trip called him and Liu Ruosong answered the phone, and got Fang Sining's contact information from the other party.

The good news is that the student Fang whom Shao Xuefan misses so much is still alive, but the bad news is that he is not in S city, but in Pengcheng thousands of miles away.

"So far." Fu Yan frowned, obviously a little surprised by the answer.

"He's attending some kind of seminar for his teacher." Liu Ruosong was obviously also worried, and said, "That place is a special zone, and people often gather together for meetings."

"Understood, public transportation is not safe, and no one can guarantee that those who are waiting to be mutated will not enter public transportation." Fu Yan said: "I will figure out a way by myself, and you can give me his contact information."

Liu Ruosong sent Fang Sining's phone number to Fu Yan's mobile phone, and when he looked up, he saw a pitch-black gun lying in front of him, and he froze for a moment.

Before he could ask Fu Yan how he brought out the registered gun for private use, he saw Fu Yan holding the barrel of the gun and handing the handle to him.

"Take it." Fu Yan said, "Remember how to shoot a target."
