poor road [end times]

The person in charge was stunned.

...meaning they are powerful?

When he was in a daze, Qian Guowei reminded: "Please write down the names of the two of them, and then tell the news to other people on duty, so that they can just let them go after seeing these two people."

The person in charge quickly wrote down the names of the two.

As for looks—

There is no need to remember their looks, after all, the appearance and figure of these two people are too outstanding, standing in the crowd gives people a sense of shock that stands out from the crowd.

In the last days, almost all the survivors are naked, and they don't care much about dressing up, as long as they are warm in winter and cool in summer, they will be strong.The dressing style of the two of them is also quite casual. It seems that they are suitable for fighting, and the tightened trouser legs will not affect the fighting action at all.

But it's not the same.

Unless you are face-blind, as long as you see them once, you will definitely have a deep impression.

The person in charge thought to himself: As long as I tell other people on duty to find the two most eye-catching people in our base, they will probably be right.

Watching him write down the names of the two, Qian Guowei asked him again: "I will go in with them. You did a good job today, and I will leave the rest to you. Don't let unrelated people enter." Experimental area."

Hearing this, the person in charge immediately put down the list, took a break and stood at attention.

"Roger that!"

Qian Guowei smiled.

Then they set foot on the path with Yang Feng.

The three walked all the way to the villa area. Yang Yiqin looked at the newly built brick houses and asked, "Are these rooms also laboratories?"

"That's right." Qian Guowei explained, "As the number of instruments and materials in the laboratory increases day by day, the rooms in the villa are gradually running out, and more and more scientific researchers come here one after another, and they also need a place to live. So we sent people to build new rooms along the periphery, part of which is used to store various experimental supplies, and part of which is the dormitory for scientific researchers.”

Yang Yiqin looked around.

There is still a lot of space in the villa community, but the terrain of the forest is not very flat, and villas and gardens have been built in the most gentle places.Therefore, building a self-built house requires leveling the ground first, and dismantling all those garden fountains that are temporarily useless for experimental research.

After leveling the ground and demolishing the garden, the canteen, warehouse and three-storey living house were built on the open space.

Looking to the other side of the villa, you can also see well-trained soldiers working hard to build new walls and houses. The cement and stone bricks are delivered from outside the villa community, and the trucks are parked outside the wall. cement road.

Noticing his gaze, Qian Guowei explained: "The situation here is special, so the infrastructure can only be built by people who are convinced. We can only allocate a group of people to complete the construction as soon as possible. In a few days, it may not be complete. People, because we are going to start to go to other safe areas in the country to help them solve their problems and deliver vaccines."

"Thank you." Yang Yiqin said softly, "The burden is on you."

Qian Guowei shook his head: "It's nothing difficult, it's just that the time is too urgent."

Feng Lin asked: "Have you decided on the time to go to other cities?"

"Not yet, but soon." Qian Guowei said, "It will take a few more days until the next batch of zombie virus serum is produced, and we have to assign teams to go in various directions to discuss and finalize the safest solution. flight path."

Feng Lin nodded.

"I see."

In the case of satellite navigation failure, long-distance flying is accompanied by huge risks. Flying hundreds of kilometers may be in danger, let alone traveling thousands of kilometers.

Therefore, research routes are necessary.

Qian Guowei sighed softly: "Someone suggested that we can wait until the satellite navigation is restored... But the recovery time is still early, and blood serum is a life-saving thing. We can wait, and people in other safe areas can't wait, and we can't let them wait." .”

During the conversation, they came to the villa where Academician Chen was located.

Because some survivors came in for training, and in order to prevent suspicious personnel from entering the laboratory at will, a soldier guarding the gate stood at the door of each villa building to check the personnel who entered.

The gatekeeper saw the three of them.

"Captain Qian, these two are... Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin?"

"That's right." Qian Guowei replied, "We're here to find Academician Chen and Dr. Liang."

Hearing this, the gatekeeper opened the door cooperatively, and explained the situation by the way: "Dr. Liang just came back from breakfast. Academician Chen is eating in the dining hall now. He will have to wait a while before he comes over."

Qian Guowei nodded: "Okay, thank you, we understand."

After speaking, he walked into the laboratory.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin followed closely behind.

After turning through the long hallway, they saw Dr. Liang pouring water.

This villa should be a place dedicated to the study of zombie viruses. The room is filled with the smell of disinfectant and carrion, and the smell goes straight to the human cerebral cortex.The high-ceilinged living room was transformed into a zombie anatomy room, with various experimental instruments along the walls, and three disembowelled zombies lying on three experimental beds in the middle.

The zombies were only cut open, but did not lose their "life". Their limbs were all tied to the experimental bed, and only their heads were turning as Dr. Liang moved.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Dr. Liang took a sip of water calmly, then put down his glass and turned his head.After seeing the person coming, he habitually pushed his glasses and smiled just right.

"Are you here?" Dr. Liang said with a smile, "I thought I had to wait another two days."

Yang Yiqin raised his eyes and smiled lightly: "I think Dr. Liang has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Dr. Liang smiled and spread his hands, noncommittal.

Qian Guowei on the side said: "Dr. Liang, since all the key people are here, I won't beat around the bush—in fact, we also want to know what you mean when you said you need the cooperation of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin thing?"

"No rush, take your time." Dr. Liang waved at them, "Come on, let me show you our latest research first."

Feng Lin quietly looked at Yang Yiqin, and the two showed tacit expressions.

After doing the math, they and Dr. Liang have already fought or cooperated several times, and they have almost figured out each other's personality.Therefore, the two stabilized their minds and walked towards the experimental bed without haste.

Qian Guowei also walked over.

The three of them bowed their heads and carefully observed the three zombies—two of them were doing fusion evolution experiments, and there were two zombies connected to them under the white sheet; Less than other wounds.

Dr. Liang pointed to the fused zombie and said: "After you sent back the news of the evolution of the zombie, my teacher and I immediately dissected the zombie. After experiments, we found that the fusion of the zombie is related to the temperature. Let the wound grow a white film, and then fuse with each other."

Qian Guowei was thoughtful: "This is the reason why Xinzhong City discovered the fusion zombie earlier than us."

Yang Yiqin's eyes darkened.

"Consistent with our guess."

Dr. Liang continued: "We found the reason for the occurrence, and then we tried to find out the apex of fusion. Unfortunately, in order not to create uncontrollable monsters, our experiment was only halfway through."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin looked at him: "That is to say—just like the evolution of zombies, their fusion also can't see the apex?"

Dr. Liang adjusted his glasses: "At present, this is indeed the case."

Several people were silent for a moment.

After a while, Yang Yiqin said with firm eyes, "That's why we need to study zombie virus vaccines and spray serum."

Dr. Liang chuckled: "You're right."

After speaking, he turned around and walked to the experimental table on the other side, and took out an A4 paper full of words.After picking and choosing, he handed some of them to Yang Yiqin.

Yang Yiqin took the A4 papers and browsed them one by one in order. The other two came over to read the contents together.

Dr. Liang said slowly: "This is something sent by the research institute in Haicheng some time ago."

Yang Yiqin raised his eyebrows: "Is it Haicheng?"

"Captain Qian should also know." Dr. Liang explained, "A large-scale safety zone has been established in Haicheng, and they also have many excellent scientific researchers there."

"That's right." Qian Guowei confirmed his statement, "After they established contact with us, they also asked about Academician Chen's current situation. After knowing that Academician Chen was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief."

The researchers all deeply understand that Academician Chen shoulders the hope of mankind.

Dr. Liang then continued: "Actually, apart from Haicheng, Mingcheng in the southwest has also established research institutes, and all the bases are trying their best to save the scientific researchers of the local academy of sciences. Therefore, as soon as we get in touch with them, we will immediately I told them how to make the serum, and I hope they can make it too."

Qian Guowei was slightly stunned: "But aren't we still preparing to deliver serum? Is it going to be cancelled?"

Dr. Liang said, "We still have to send it."

"what happened?"

"It may be biased just by our dictation. The teacher made a detailed document and gave them a batch of official serum samples, which can improve the success rate and shorten the time for exploration and production. Moreover, their geographical location and climate are different from ours. Now the zombies in various places have mutated, and it may be necessary to adjust the serum concentration to a certain extent in response to the changes in the zombies."

"I don't know much about research." Qian Guowei said, "But our team must strictly implement any orders from the base."

At this moment, Academician Chen walked over from the outside.

Not seeing him for a while, Academician Chen's hair is not only completely white, but also a little thinning.The gullies in the corners of his eyes deepened, and there was a respectable and profound knowledge in his eyes, and there was an amiable and approachable atmosphere all over his body.

Qian Guowei said in a respectful tone, "Academician Chen, good morning."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin also said hello.

Seeing the visitor, Academician Chen bent his eyes.He walked over slowly and said kindly: "Long time no see, have you returned safely?"

Yang Yiqin went up to greet him: "Well, we have returned safely, is Academician Chen still in good health?"

"It's okay." Academician Chen couldn't hide his fatigue in his smile, "Don't worry, Dr. Wang will check me up regularly, and he said I'm pretty strong."

Yang Yiqin looked sincerely: "No matter how the latest experimental research is, please pay attention to your body."

"Thank you for your concern." Academician Chen patted his arm and said with a smile, "Come on, come with me. Although you just persuaded me, we still need to talk about the experimental research first."

As he spoke, he took out his reading glasses from his pocket and put them on, then picked up the A4 paper that Yang Yiqin and the others had just read again.

Dr. Liang came over and gently held Academician Chen's shoulder: "Teacher, I was just telling them about the Haicheng Research Institute, so I will give them these few pages of information first."

"Oh?" Academician Chen asked curiously, "Where did you talk about?"

Dr. Liang replied: "At the beginning, I just said that we passed the method of making serum to the other two research institutes."

Academician Chen nodded: "Let's talk about the next thing."

Qian Guowei asked, "Can I listen too?"

"Of course." Academician Chen said, "We need you to send over the detailed information of the laboratory, and we also need you to bring over the experimental information there. We must tell you the real situation."

Yang Yiqin was a little puzzled: "So, what Feng Lin and I need to do, do you also mean escorting laboratory materials?"

It should not be.

If this is the case, there should be no need for people with mutated cell activity.

Sure enough, Dr. Liang on the side shook his head: "To be honest, what we want you to do is far from that simple."

Hearing this, it was Qian Guowei who asked, "What exactly is that?"

It was he who called Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin back to the base in Beishi. He had promised Yang's mother that the actions they needed to carry out would not be too dangerous.Of course he believed what Academician Chen said, but as a middleman who passed on the message, he naturally wanted to find out the cause and effect of the matter.

Academician Chen spread out the A4 paper in his hand and said, "Then I have to mention the source of these materials."

"Where did you come from?" Qian Guowei didn't know why, "Isn't it Haicheng?"

Academician Chen nodded: "That's right, we did write down this experimental data for research based on the dictation of the researchers in the Haicheng Research Institute. But the content of the dictation by the researchers in Haicheng is not just theirs. The research found that there are also some news from abroad."

Hearing this, the three of them showed expressions of astonishment.

Yang Yiqin frowned: "Overseas?"

In fact, there are also survivors from foreign countries in the Beishi base. After all, Beishi itself is a big international city. Most of the people living in the base are rescued people who are willing to cooperate with the base's rules and regulations.Of course, in other corners of Beishi City, there are still many people who are unwilling to go to the survivor's base.

In any case, they will not force and respect each other's choice.

But so far, they have not received any news from outside China.

"Let's sit down and talk."

After speaking, Academician Chen bent down to get the stool in the laboratory.Seeing this, the other four quickly held down his movements, and each moved out a chair.

Several people sat around a small table.

Academician Chen spread the A4 paper on the table, and pointed out one of the messages: "This key message is the message sent to Haicheng by foreign scientists. They thought it might be the key to solving the end times, so they hurriedly told me."

Feng Lin frowned: "How did they get to Haicheng?"

Academician Chen only said: "It is said that they took a boat and drifted on the sea for a while, and only found the base in Haicheng more than a week ago."

Once Academician Chen is present, Dr. Liang will restrain all his edges and corners, and his attitude will become humble and low-key.He followed Academician Chen's words and explained a few more words: "Haicheng is a coastal city, and their bases are built on several warships."

Qian Guowei said: "I also know this. Every time we contact a safe zone, we will learn more about the construction process, specific location and approximate scale of the other party's safe zone. In the early days of the outbreak of the end of the world, the army near Haicheng responded quickly, and the warship After all the zombies on the ground were dealt with, they began to fly helicopters to rescue people in the city. Like the Beishi base, after they rescued the people in Haicheng, they began to rescue nearby villagers and survivors in small cities."

Yang Yiqin sighed in admiration.

"sharp."

Just like the legendary Noah's Ark, it is indeed safer to hide in the vast sea, and you can take people away if you encounter danger.

But there are also big disadvantages——

For example, it is easy to lack fresh water and food, and many people may not be able to adapt to long-term sea drifting, and are prone to diseases.If you think about it further, it is more troublesome for survivors to go out to find supplies, and it is difficult to achieve food self-sufficiency.

Qian Guowei continued: "This is the case in many coastal cities. They will first flee to a giant ship or warship, and then slowly find a suitable port, clean up the zombie hordes, and establish a land safety zone."

"It's smart and interesting." Yang Yiqin's eyes sparkled, "The safety zones in each region can be adapted to local conditions."

Dr. Liang chuckled: "Since you're curious, you can go and see for yourself."

Feng Lin brought the topic back.

"So, what is the specific news from abroad?"

Academician Chen went on to say: "It's about the origin of the virus."

Yang Yiqin was startled: "Origin?"

"That's right." Academician Chen said, "We used to think that the sandstorm carried the zombie virus and infected everyone indiscriminately, but we didn't find any evidence at first."

Yang Yiqin remembered this incident, and he asked, "Have you found it now?"

Academician Chen nodded and explained in detail——

"You should also know that in the early days of the last days, we did not extract the zombie virus from the surface of the gravel, so we thought that the zombie virus had nothing to do with sand and dust. However, last winter, I accidentally crushed the gravel and extracted it from finer particles. Zombie virus — that just confirms our original belief."

"However, in fact, although this conclusion is correct, there is one point that needs to be corrected, that is, the carrier is not only sand, but also the strong wind that sweeps the sand."

Dr. Liang: "It can be simply understood as airborne transmission."

Yang Yiqin was thoughtful.

This can explain it.

After all, dust can be blocked by windows and gates, but the air is everywhere, so it will cause indiscriminate infection of humans, animals and plants.

Academician Chen also said: "The source of the virus is dust. The virus in the dust can escape into the air. So where does the dust come from? This is a question that has always troubled me."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin's eyes and the three fell on the A4 paper.

Sensing their gaze, Academician Chen smiled and said, "You guessed it right."

They looked at the message carefully, and quickly grasped a key piece of information—Hubian Island.

Yang Yiqin asked: "Is this the origin?"

"Experts from abroad say yes, but we are skeptical first." Academician Chen took a sip and said, "According to them, this island on the high seas was originally just an unnamed island. and insects as no other medium-to-large animal."

"Before the end of the world broke out, a drug company bought this island because they discovered a unique plant on the island that has wonderful medical effects. Research has found that Hubian Island is likely to be related to meteorites. It's related to the fall, which is why new plants appear on it."

The following story, Yang Yiqin and others can already imagine.

It was nothing more than an accident during the research process.

Sure enough, Academician Chen continued: "Not long after we started digging plants for experiments, they encountered extreme rainstorms, and the waves beat violently on the coastline. The excavated soil and rock formations on the island leaked out, and the soil was washed everywhere by the sea. Yes. After the weather turned fine, the researchers on the island died inexplicably, which made people panic. A few days later, a total solar eclipse, which is rarely seen in hundreds of years, occurred at the location of the island, and then it was hard to see for decades. The tsunami swept across the island..."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin frowned unconsciously: "What a coincidence."

If the zombie virus really originated from that small island, but if so many "rare encounters" did not happen, then the zombie virus should not have spread out.

"It's a coincidence." Academician Chen said, "But the universe we live in is originally made up of countless one-in-a-million coincidences—such as the birth of life on the earth. Even without the above-mentioned coincidences, the earth There are also many mysterious places on the earth that we have never reached, especially the vast depths of the ocean."

Qian Guowei understood the seriousness of the matter, and at the same time he almost fainted.

But he still didn't understand something: "But Academician Chen, you still haven't mentioned why you need the help of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin."

Academician Chen sighed: "They told me this news just to provide me with enough ideas to develop a vaccine. But just one piece of news is not enough to support all the data I need, and... I I believe that only by tracing the source can we find a solution to the end times.”

Qian Guowei was slightly stunned: "Tracing the source? Going to that Hubian Island?"

"Yes." Academician Chen said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I heard that some people have already been to the island, but they didn't find anything useful, so they told us the news when they had nowhere to go, and hoped to cooperate with us."

Having said that, Dr. Liang adjusted his glasses, and his eyes fell on Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin.

"The situation on the small island is special. If people get close to the middle of the small island, even the survivors who were originally immune may be infected with the zombie virus again."

"Only people with highly active mutated cells can survive."

The author has something to say:

Hubian Island - Hubian Island

As expected of me, named Fei.
