16 years

——A landscape park that was shelved after half of the development next to the abandoned airport.

When the coordinates were sent, Liu Ruosong instinctively felt something strange, but he couldn't tell.

That coordinate point is a highly suspected area marked by Fu Yan before, but before the research and Joe Aiden's evacuation, Liu Ruosong still felt that the appearance of this "petri dish" was a bit too weird.

Will Joe Eden leave without a petri dish, Liu Ruosong thought.

Or they were not in the same place at all, the petri dishes were placed alone in the country, and he was strategizing in the "safe zone" across the river, so they didn't have time to meet when they evacuated.

There are many guesses like this, and Liu Ruosong didn't know what to guess for a while.On the contrary, Fu Yan will never let go of any possibility, no matter it is a trap or not, he has to go there.

"The plan has changed. Shao Qiu and I will rush to the coordinate point to check the situation of the petri dish. You should stay here, carry out a carpet search research institute, and bring back whatever is useful." Feng Lei's people have already arrived, and Fu Yan Standing at the entrance of the research institute, he took the new equipment handed over by others and changed it on his body. In his busy schedule, he told Liu Ruosong: "After the business here is over, you can withdraw with the main force and wait for me to go back to meet you."

"Is it just you and the deputy team?" Liu Ruosong chased him for a few steps, handed him the holster belt in his hand, and said worriedly: "You take a group of people."

"It's hard to divide the manpower." Fu Yan said: "The rest of the people are going to chase He Feng and He Tang—it's okay, the two of us are enough. There are people from Feng Lei in the landscape park to support them."

As Fu Yan said, he had already walked to the side of the car, and Shao Qiu was waiting for him on the co-pilot. He had entered the target coordinates into the navigation system, and was sitting on the seat to adjust the gun and check the protective gear.

Fu Yan stretched his hand to pull the car door, Liu Ruosong watched his movements, his heart sank suddenly, and an indescribable panic suddenly spread, sweeping his whole body in an instant.

"Brother——" Liu Ruosong couldn't help pressing the car door, his heart was pounding, blood was pumped all over his body, making his hands and feet numb and his fingertips cold.

But he didn't want Fu Yan to feel that he was numb and slow, so he didn't say that he was afraid, but asked, "Then I'll finish this task and go meet you?"

"There may be danger over there—" Fu Yan refused in the middle of the sentence, and he didn't know what to think of, and then changed his words: "When the time comes, listen to Captain Feng's command, and if necessary, you should go with the big team and don't act alone. "

The uneasiness in Liu Ruosong's heart still hasn't subsided, but now is not the time for his son and daughter to love each other, he can't let his emotions affect his business.What's more, the petri dish is an important research material, if you can get a living one - it will only be good for Fu Yan.

"Okay." Liu Ruosong let go of the car door, forced a smile at Fu Yan, took a step back, and watched him get into the car.

"Be careful." Liu Ruosong said.

Fu Yan nodded seriously.

"Got it," he said.

Fu Yan started the car, and finally gestured to him to stand by, then rolled up the window and drove away.

Liu Ruosong took a deep breath, then turned and walked towards the research institute.

The area of ​​City D is not too large, and the address of the landscape park is near the suburbs, not too far from the Honglan River.

Feng Lei is a very good logistics support personnel. He was born in the army and has extremely rich combat experience. He can cooperate very well with him almost without Fu Yan's orders.

He first appeased the team who discovered the situation and told them to stand by on the spot, then planned the nearest driving route, and dispatched two cars to clear the way for Fu Yan in advance, so as to ensure that he could reach the target with the fastest efficiency. point.

"Thank you." Fu Yan said sincerely, "Troubleshoot."

"Hey, what are you talking about, aren't we all a family?" Feng Lei's voice came from the earphones, mixed with the whistling wind into Fu Yan's ears: "I've already asked about the situation over there. This was discovered by the children of the patrol class. It was a coincidence that they were only patrolling the outside of the park, but happened to bump into two researchers who ran out of it, and only then did they know that there was a researcher in the mountain of the landscape park. branch."

"Are these two researchers still alive?" Fu Yan asked.

"Alive." Feng Lei took another sip of water and continued: "They were originally the scientific research team responsible for taking care of the petri dishes. They may have seen the situation on the Honglan River on the mountain. I dared to stay any longer, and wanted to run away in the dark, but I didn't expect to run into the hands of the patrol squad."

"Run away?!" Fu Yan frowned and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Don't worry, Brother Fu, you didn't run far." Feng Lei said hastily, "We're still in the mountains. I heard they broke free from the restraints and ran out of the research institute—their research institute is like a temporary house, and the security is rubbish. Some of our people have gone for a run in the mountains and saw the trace of the petri dish. They wanted to catch it, but she ran too fast and missed it. Now I can only be sure that she is still in the park. I have already Get people to fence off the park."

Fu Yanyue frowned more and more when he heard this, he could understand every word Feng Lei said, but it seemed like a child's play when put together.

A branch of a research institute, no matter how poor the security is, can't even lock up a zombie.

How could Joe Eden's group of mercenaries only ask a group of helpless researchers to take care of such an important thing.

"Understood." Fu Yan said: "Tell them to stay where they are, don't rush into the mountains to look for them, surround the exit, and wait until I get there."

Feng Lei repeatedly agreed during the call, and by the way told him to pay attention to safety.

Unlike Fu Yan, Feng Lei can run forward and charge into battle. He has to preside over the overall situation by the Honglan River, so he can only do his best to help Fu Yan manage the situation.

Fu Yan picked up the line and connected the call to the public action channel.

Shao Qiu beside him pushed the barrel of the gun, and there was a light sound when the metal collided.

Fu Yan glanced at him sideways.

"Captain, don't blame yourself." Shao Qiu said flatly: "No one knows what will happen, just make the best choice in front of the matter, and everyone else can just ask for their own blessings."

Fu Yan knew that Shao Qiu was talking about He Feng and He Tang, but he was a little surprised that Shao Qiu would suddenly bring this up.Moreover, in Fu Yan's impression, since Fang Sining's death, Shao Qiu has been a little depressed. Although he is still in combat state, he doesn't seem to care about other people's feelings.

Fu Yan didn't know how to deal with his enlightenment. Now things are intertwined. He is worried about the missing comrades, he has to care about the lost petri dishes, and he has to resist the temptation of "doing it again". The whole person is torn apart and occupied by various problems, temporarily unable to allocate energy to understand one's emotions-whether they are good or bad.

So he just hummed lightly and said, "We're almost at the coordinate point, be on guard."

Shao Qiu didn't speak any more, he put his training back into the holster, checked the equipment for the last time, and then leaned against the car window.

The thin moonlight reflected on his face through the thick window glass, leaving a foggy and illusory shadow.

Shao Qiu closed his eyes, thinking of Fang Sining for no reason.

It would be nice if they could die together, Shao Qiu thought, he even envied the two of them a little bit.

I feel sorry for my comrades in this way, but Shao Qiu couldn't control it. The aftereffects of hallucinogens took root in his body and flourished silently, eating away his flesh and blood, distorting his thoughts, and killing him. Turned into a paranoid shell.

He sometimes has nightmares, and always sees himself in the mirror—behind his handsome and tall body, there is a gray and decayed shell, exactly like a zombie, with pale skin and cloudy eyes. Flesh rotting into mud.

Fu Yan's car was parked on the opposite side of the scenic park road, Shao Qiu opened his eyes, and woke up from the brief self-loathing, his eyes were clear, as if he had never had a waking nightmare.

He got out of the car one after the other, crossed the road, and walked towards the patrol squad who stayed behind.

The squad leader of the patrol squad was a young man in his early twenties. He walked around the spot like a grinder for twenty or thirty laps, and finally got Fu Yan to come.

"Captain Fu—" The squad leader came up to him, and said as fast as reciting a script: "Petri dish is strong, she is a woman, she looks young, but her physical fitness is as good as hell, and she is as good as those zombies outside." It’s different. The first reaction when we saw someone was to hide. We saw her near the foot of the mountain before, but unfortunately we didn’t get around. Now she is running up the mountain, but I don’t know where it is. Do you think we need to go up the mountain to search?”

Fu Yan nodded.

"Where is the research institute?" Fu Yan asked.

"It's there." The squad leader casually pointed to a direction: "It's behind the side of the mountain, near the foot of the mountain. That's where the petri dish was first discovered."

"Understood, the people who need to be surrounded at the bottom of the mountain cannot move." Fu Yan said: "As many as you can make up for the rest, teams of three and three will go up the mountain to search. If you encounter traces of petri dishes, don't fight hard, send a message Send support—the most important point is not to use hot weapons, and to ensure the integrity of the opponent as much as possible.”

This landscape park was half developed before, and a semi-finished hiking trail was built on the mountain, and different areas were planned, but the project was abandoned before there was time for concrete construction.

This was convenient for Fu Yan. He drew a few directions on the so-called guide map, assigned them by area, turned on the high-power flashlight and pinned it to his chest, and prepared to go up the mountain.

Seeing that he was only accompanied by Shao Qiu, the squad leader asked if he should assign more team members for him, but Fu Yan refused.

"No." Fu Yan said: "Remember what I said, pay attention to safety, the petri dish may be highly aggressive, don't confront her head-on without using hot weapons."
