poor road [end times]
Chapter 144
Hearing Meng Zheqi's words, Yang Yiqin instantly recalled the tragedy of the artificial lake in the small park in the early days of the end of the world. He frowned and asked, "Are there any aquatic animals in the sea that mutated into zombie animals?"
Meng Zheqi nodded solemnly: "Yes."
For a moment, everyone fell silent in unison.
Dr. Liang took out a notebook and a pen from his backpack, and wrote down the current situation of Haicheng on paper.The other three scientific researchers also took out their notebooks and wrote down the key points of the conversation, so that they can communicate with each other in the future to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
They came here with Academician Chen's expectations on their shoulders, but suddenly found that the reality was more difficult than imagined, and the burden in their hearts couldn't help but a little heavier.
After clearly recording the situation in front of Dr. Liang, he turned his head to look at Meng Zheqi, his eyes under the lens flickered with a strange light: "General Meng, besides the zombies we are seeing now, are there other more outrageous monsters? "
Hearing this, Qian Guowei and others also turned their attention to Meng Zheqi.
Meng Zheqi nodded heavily against everyone's gaze.
Qian Guowei hurriedly asked: "What does it look like?"
"Actually, the zombies you see now are already the appearance of the comrades in arms after they were wiped out and culled."
Speaking of this, Meng Zheqi walked to the front of the deck, pointed to the vast and endless ocean in the distance, and slowly opened his mouth to tell everyone about the completion of the base.
"These survivor bases along our coast have always been in touch with each other. In the early days, everyone even stayed in the same sea area. The sea is indeed safer. Animals and zombies cannot harm us, and deep-sea fish are infected. The possibility is basically zero. However, there is no supply of fresh water and vegetables for a long time, and there are often strong winds and waves on the sea level, and the ships sway from side to side day and night. Even if the soldiers can bear it, the ordinary people we rescued cannot bear it.
Therefore, we must return to land and build land bases step by step. "
The soldiers and scientific researchers who followed Meng Zheqi all had firm expressions in their eyes when they heard this.They are all part of the Haicheng base, watching the base step by step to the present.
In the short and long process of establishing the base, countless people were sacrificed and countless people were saved.
They will all be remembered forever.
"I know that there are many difficulties in coastal bases." Qian Guowei said solemnly, "Actually, when we come this time, General Zheng also wants me to ask you if there are any coastal bases that need personnel and weapons from Beishi Base. support."
"We'll talk about this later."
"it is good."
Meng Zheqi continued: "Unlike the bases in the north, winter does not affect our operations. On the contrary, the movements of the zombies are the slowest and stiffest in winter, and the weather is far from freezing the water. Therefore, we started to build a land base. The time was last winter."
Last winter, the cold current swept across Huaguo. Although it was rare for Haicheng to snow, the snow melted before it had time to accumulate.Although the weather is wet and cold, ordinary private cars are not affected when going out, let alone fighter planes and tanks.
"In the beginning, it was relatively smooth. We took advantage of the months when the zombies were slow to move, and quickly wiped out the zombies near the port, and established defense lines one after another. But after spring, the situation began to become difficult—— The movements of the zombies became agile and flexible, and they could even jump over a three- to four-meter-high barbed wire on a corpse ladder; after a while, they even began to fuse with each other to form a huge monster."
"As I mentioned before, in order to facilitate the establishment of a land base, we once bombed the zombies in the urban area. That operation successfully wiped out most of the zombies, but there are many tall buildings in the urban area, and we don't want to destroy too many buildings. , so special room was left for the bombing... Many zombies survived after losing their limbs or body organs, and merged into one body during the evolution of spring."
Hearing this, Qian Guowei asked, "Do you know the exact number of zombies?"
"There must be tens of millions." Meng Zheqi's tone was affirmative, "Because many zombies from other cities have come here one after another after the beginning of spring, killing them alone is definitely not enough. The firepower is limited, and we must preserve our combat power for future preparations. A rainy day."
Qian Guowei understands this dilemma.
That's why they mentioned support.
Dr. Xu on the side sighed softly: "To be honest, we even suspect that the zombies will continue to evolve according to this situation, and the bones may change. But at that time, it was not so easy to penetrate the zombie's head. The only way now is to develop a drug to eliminate the virus as soon as possible, and completely eradicate the zombies from this world."
At this time, Dr. Liang asked: "So, can I go and see the zombies outside the base?"
Meng Zheqi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you don't get too close to the zombie tide and high-rise buildings, I will immediately send people to escort all kinds of scientists."
Dr. Xu stood up: "I am also together. We have been studying the fusion of zombies for a while, and we can provide some help to the team of the younger brother. But after watching the zombies, I hope that the younger brother can take the time to go to the laboratory with me, and the zombies Solve doubts and exchange questions about virus serum."
Dr. Liang pursed his lips.
"no problem."
Qian Guowei reminded in a low voice: "There is also the matter of foreign experts."
"En." Dr. Xu nodded, "The people sent by General Meng have not returned yet, I will first communicate with my younger brother about the news delivered by those experts, and after our soldiers come back, I will sit down and discuss with foreign experts as appropriate. "
Meng Zheqi said: "Okay, Captain Qian and I will discuss the support in detail."
Qian Guowei asked: "Please let our people follow Haicheng's team to escort Dr. Liang and others to investigate the zombies. They are basically people with extremely high activity of mutated cells. They may participate in the operation on Hubian Island in the future."
Meng Zheqi nodded: "Yes."
Qian Guowei called out the names of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, and then called several teammates who were traveling with him.
Including Dr. Liang and Dr. Xu and other scientific researchers, there are 15 people in the team going to the center of Haicheng this time. Meng Zheqi directly took pictures of a medium and large armed helicopter escorting them.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin followed at the end of the team and boarded the helicopter.
Haicheng is also a large city with tens of millions of people. Even though the Haicheng base once bombed the zombies indiscriminately in the urban area, zombies swarmed in from other cities, filling the vacancy of dead and injured zombies, resulting in an explosion between here and Beishi. Compared with urban areas, the density of zombie groups is not much less.
The port location selected by the base is far from the urban area.
In order to take care of several scientific researchers, the pilot carefully drove the helicopter, and the whole flight was extremely smooth. It took more than half an hour to reach the most prosperous urban area in Haicheng.
After arriving at the destination, the helicopter stopped in mid-air.
The team leader of this mission stood up. He handed each of the scientific researchers a rope and asked them to tie one end of the rope around their waists. After making sure that everyone had a rope around their waists, he opened one side of the helicopter. side hatch.
Dr. Liang and Dr. Xu walked to the cabin door.
They are now at a height of Baimi, with several tall skyscrapers standing beside them, and below them are the streets that should have been bustling.
Now the streets are devastated, the roads have traces of bombing, corpses of zombies and animals can be seen everywhere on the ground, green vines spread across the city, greenery covers the streets, high-rise buildings, stop signs... and in this ruins and greenery intertwined On the streets of the city, there are hordes of zombies shuttling and wandering.
The team leader handed them the high-powered binoculars, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, but we can't put you on the roof of a certain high-rise building now, because vines are growing everywhere, and we can't be sure whether the building is as strong as before. collapsed..."
Dr. Liang took the telescope and nodded: "Thank you, we understand."
Yang Yiqin couldn't help asking: "So far, have many buildings collapsed in the urban area of Haicheng?"
"There is a part, but not a large-scale collapse." The team leader explained, "Most of the buildings here are of acceptable quality and can temporarily resist the erosion of vines, but there will always be accidents."
Yang Yiqin looked at the blasted roads: "Indeed, there are many traces of bombing in the city."
Feng Lin said with deep eyes: "Even if you deliberately avoid places with densely populated high-rise buildings, it should have somewhat affected the buildings."
"Actually, we have carried out two bombings." The team leader explained in detail, "One was before the establishment of the land base, in order to build the land part of the base; Going to the base, we can only carry out a second large-scale bombing of the zombies in the urban areas of the coastal cities. Although the bombing range is large enough to blow up the zombies, it may not be able to blow the heads of the zombies..."
Feng Lin looked down at the monsters on the street, and continued with the team leader's words: "If you don't bomb it, you can't survive; if you don't bomb it cleanly, it will create conditions for the fusion of zombies and promote the generation of fusion zombies."
The team leader shook his head helplessly: "That's right, it's a dilemma, we can only choose the most beneficial method."
But if the entire city is to be destroyed... Although the base has encountered numerous difficulties at this stage, it has not been forced to that point for the time being.
A city is built by countless cultures and histories.
At least before they are desperate, they hope to use their utmost efforts to preserve the civilization of this era for future generations.
Yang Yiqin looked sincerely: "If we work harder, we will always find a solution to the end times."
The captain nodded emphatically.
"Most definitely."
At this time, several scientific researchers were standing on the edge of the hatch, wearing binoculars to observe the zombies and vines.
Yang Yiqin stood directly behind them, taking advantage of his height to overlook the urban area below, and his eyes fell on the gathered zombies.Since the end of the world broke out, his eyesight has become increasingly clear, and now it is so good that it is beyond the scope of human beings.
Feng Lin's strength was also outrageous.
Before, it was considered the strength that human beings could obtain through exercise, but now it has already exceeded the limit of human beings.
As for Qian Guowei and the others, even if they didn't tell them, Yang Yiqin could feel the other party's agility and strength growing during the mission.Even if it is not the ordinary of a dominant mutant, it has been honed by the end of the world to be a bit stronger.
But it doesn't stop there.
Compared with the evolution of the zombie population, the changes in humans are almost negligible.
Looking at the huge meat ball condensed into a ball below, Yang Yiqin's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
The team leader who accompanied him had long been used to such scenes. He said "sorry" while squeezing in front of the scientific research personnel, and took out a grenade gun to aim at the meat ball below.After the lump of meat ball slowly mixed into the square, he shot the meat ball.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the meat ball exploded into pieces.
In order to prevent them from merging again, the team leader fired two more shots in that direction to ensure that there was no intact head below.
Witnessing the destruction of the meatball, Dr. Liang put the binoculars under his arm and quickly recorded what he had just seen and heard in his notebook. When recording, he did not forget to include pictures and texts for easy recall and analysis.
Dr. Xu opened his mouth and explained to them: "Giant meat balls like this are actually just the most common fusion method. The most frightening thing is that after the chaotic and disorderly fusion, the zombies that could not move freely now have abilities far surpassing that of humans. ability to move."
Dr. Liang pushed his glasses slightly: "Is there an example?"
Dr. Xu looked for it, then pointed to a tall building on the right, and said, "Look in that direction, there is a rather strange fusion zombie under that building."
Dr. Liang put on the binoculars again and looked in the direction she pointed.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin also looked over there.
At the position Dr. Xu pointed to, there was a fusion zombie galloping towards the armed helicopter at an extremely fast speed.The reason why it can be so fast is because it is lying on the ground like a centipede, and its four pairs of legs are arranged very neatly, which is convenient for orderly and fast movement.
What's even more outrageous is that it was not formed by the fusion of four zombies - because Yang Yiqin saw a total of six heads and nine arms.
While looking into the distance with his binoculars, Dr. Liang said with a leisurely smile, "It's kind of interesting, just like the human experiment in the movie. If it wasn't for the end of the world, I should be very willing to see such a guy exist."
Dr. Xu: "..."
Captain: "..."
Even though he knew his character for a long time, Yang Yiqin still felt quite helpless: "It's still different. They spontaneously merged into such a monster. The kind Dr. Liang said was forced to help."
Dr. Liang looked at him: "You mean, disabled zombies are more cohesive?"
"That's right." Yang Yiqin simply followed his words, "Having a strong sense of self-management."
Dr. Liang shrugged with a smile.
"Junior Brother." Dr. Xu reminded with a serious expression, "Now is not the time to joke, I hope you can get enough information here, so that you can help the teacher when you go back."
Hearing her talk about Academician Chen, Dr. Liang finally became serious.
The armed helicopter shuttled back and forth in the bustling urban area. The group observed enough zombies and killed the fusion zombies they saw before returning to the Haicheng base.
The first thing to return is naturally to undergo quarantine inspection.
As the time approached dusk, a group of people just ran into a survivor who had returned from going out.Although the urban area is very dangerous, the base did not prevent everyone from going out to collect supplies, but only limited the scope, hoping that they could only operate in the suburbs and near the coastline.
The survivors greeted Dr. Xu one after another.
"Good evening, Dr. Xu."
"Dr. Xu went out to see zombies again?"
"Dr. Xu, how long will it take us to get out the zombie virus serum?"
"..."
It can be seen that Dr. Xu should communicate with these people frequently on weekdays, and he must be easy-going and unassuming, so that everyone is so enthusiastic and close.
Dr. Xu was in a good mood, and answered everyone's questions one by one: "Good evening, Dr. Liang and others from the Beishi base have come to our Haicheng base. They will work with the Haicheng Research Institute to study zombie viruses. Dr. Liang led Here comes the serum and the method of making it, and I believe it won’t be long before everyone will have virus serum in their hands.”
Hearing this, there was a burst of exclamation among the survivors.
Immediately afterwards, there was deafening applause.
Before everyone surrounded them enthusiastically, the team leader quickly stopped the survivors and persuaded them: "Several researchers have just returned, and there are still many things to discuss. If you have any questions, let's talk about them another day."
Hearing this, everyone restrained their doubts and watched Dr. Xu and others leave.
The team leader allocated residences for everyone, and gave each of them a badge, explaining the functions of each place in the base, and telling them that by showing the badges, they can go to any public place in the Haicheng base, and they can also eat for free in the cafeteria.
Then, he hurriedly led the team to leave.
Dr. Xu looked at Dr. Liang and the team of scientists he led: "You can come to the laboratory for dinner, so that we can have a meeting directly after eating."
Dr. Liang nodded: "Alright."
After the researchers left, only Yang Yiqin and others were left.
Yang Yiqin said to the others: "Feng Lin and I are in the same room, let's tidy up our things first, and then go to eat."
The others nodded and waved goodbye to the two of them temporarily.
They can't move freely, so they have to return to the team to report today's situation to Captain Qian.
The accommodation arranged for them by the Haicheng base is on a small cruise ship docked next to the warship.Although it is a small cruise ship, it is only compared with a huge warship. A private cruise ship itself can be called luxurious.
There are many large and small cruise ships next to the warship.
As the number of survivors on the base increased, these cruise ships became part of the sea base.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin did not return to their residence immediately, but stepped onto the deck of the largest warship to observe the sea area near the Haicheng base before night fell.
The sea was calm.
Looking at the area outside the base, you can still see a few floating corpses floating on the sea level. The arms of the floating corpses twitch and wave a few times from time to time. It is obvious that they are zombies running into the sea one by one.
Yang Yiqin's eyes fell on the sparkling sea water: "I hope this sea area can always remain calm."
He is worried that there will be a situation like the artificial lake in the small park.
Experimental studies have proved that zombie animals do not infect each other, but zombie humans bite or scratch animals, which will cause animals to mutate into zombies.Zombies generally attack humans first, and rarely attack animals actively, which leads to the number of mutant animals being far greater than zombie animals.
Mutable animals are able to communicate and communicate, and even help humans with many jobs.
Zombie animals, on the other hand, only attack humans.
"There will be no problem." Feng Lin said firmly, "It is very difficult for zombies to dive to the bottom of the water. At most, they will disturb the fish schools close to the sea level, and will not cause large-scale fish schools to zombify."
"But after seeing the zombies in Haicheng City, I always have a bad feeling."
"Then we will completely eradicate the zombies before they mutate."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin smiled slightly: "So we are doing our best to assist researchers in their experimental research."
Feng Lin looked at him: "But if we are asked to go to Hubian Island now, I will refuse."
Yang Yiqin turned his gaze to him.
"why?"
"I don't want you to be in danger." Feng Lin's eyes were far-reaching, "The urban area of Haicheng has become like that. As the birthplace of the virus, the situation on Hubian Island will only get worse."
Yang Yiqin's gaze fell on the distant sea level.
To accomplish something of great significance, there are always people who have to take the lead and risk themselves. If they are the only ones who can do this, he is willing to risk himself, but he also does not want Feng Lin to be in a dangerous situation. .
"We shouldn't be allowed to land on the island so soon. At most, we should fly around the island and observe it like the people who have already passed." Yang Yiqin mused, "It is not yet known whether Hubian Island is the origin of the virus. Let’s wait for the first batch of people who went there to return.”
According to the original plan, they just came together this time to learn about the situation in the origin of the virus in advance, so they don't have to think about landing on the island for the time being.
You should take action after communicating with Academician Chen.
Feng Lin took his hand.
"it is good."
As night fell, the two returned to their residence.
The cruise ship was parked next to the warship. It should have just been used by the base. Many things inside had not been replaced in time. Most of the area was covered with a white cloth for storage, and various material boxes were piled up in the corners.From the internal structure, it can be inferred that the ship was originally a commercial luxury passenger ship, with luxurious and beautiful decoration inside, including gorgeous banquet halls, restaurants, play areas and guest rooms.
The rooms are all standard rooms or double rooms for two people.
All the dormitories from Beishi were arranged here, occupying one of the high-rise floors of the passenger ship.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin walked into their room with their respective luggage.
It is a very spacious standard room - as soon as you step into the room, you can see a clean bathroom; if you look in, you will find that there are almost no extras in the room except stools, wardrobes and bedding Object; at the end is a small door and window, and outside the door is a small open terrace with a direct view of the sea.
The bedding in the room is all brand new, it should be specially cleaned by the people from the Haicheng base, just to welcome their arrival.
The two put their things on the ground and began to organize clothes and toiletries outside.
According to Qian Guowei, if things go well, they will probably need to stay here for a week.If other unforeseen circumstances happened, such as Dr. Xu's team had trouble making the zombie virus serum, or things involving Hubian Island, they might stay for a while longer.
But it will not exceed half a month at most.
Because they had to sort out the news here as soon as possible, and convey it to the Beishi base accurately, and also brought the samples of the zombies and vines to Academician Chen in time, so as not to slow down the progress of the experimental research.
Therefore, the two each prepared two sets of laundry.
After packing up their things, they didn't go to the cafeteria to eat, but directly ate the compressed biscuits they carried with them to satisfy their hunger.
Yang Yiqin took a bite of compressed biscuits, walked to the terrace at the end of the dormitory while eating, and looked at the vast ocean and endless sky.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the moon and stars hung in the deep blue sky, casting flowing and fine shadows on the sea.
Feng Lin stood side by side with him.
"Feng Lin."
"Well, I'm here."
"Do you remember that we discussed before, whether to take a cruise ship to go fishing?"
"Remember, you said you would go after I graduated."
"It's a pity." Yang Yiqin shook his head slightly with regret, and then he bent his eyes, which reflected the bright stars, "I couldn't even attend your graduation ceremony."
The end of the world happened at the beginning of June, just before Feng Lin's graduation ceremony.
As the time for graduation approached, they imagined countless ways to celebrate.It was precisely because of this incident that Yang Yiqin pushed all the work together, resulting in very little communication between the two in those few days.
However, God did not wish.
A sudden disaster strikes, Yang Yiqin's work is not completed, Feng Lin's graduation ceremony is nowhere in sight, and the sea fishing trip they envisioned is temporarily put on hold.
Hearing this, Feng Lin surrounded Yang Yiqin from behind.
His eyes were firm and persistent, and he said word by word: "Maybe I will never be able to graduate, but sooner or later we will be free to celebrate all the happy things. At that time, I will follow you wherever you want to go."
Yang Yiqin swallowed the last bite of compressed biscuit, looked back at him, and jokingly said, "Are you the spirit behind the scenes?"
Feng Lin pursed his lips: "It can be."
Yang Yiqin couldn't help laughing.
Free to celebrate anything?
He also believes so firmly.
Yang Yiqin pointed to the line of sea and sky: "Think about it from another angle, aren't we on the passenger ship now? We can see the vast sky and sea, but we can't fish in the sea."
Feng Lin said again: "You can fish."
He wasn't joking, anyway, even if there were no conditions, he could create them himself.
"Forget it." Yang Yiqin interrupted his thinking with a smile, "We are here to carry out a mission, and we can put the cart before the horse."
And he doesn't have that thought at all now.
Even if you want to fish, it's to see if there are any zombie-like fish under this sea area.
The two embraced and chatted, and before they knew it, it was time to rest.There is nothing they need to do at the Haicheng base for the time being. The two of them just need to maintain a good condition and follow Qian Guowei's orders.
Yang Yiqin patted Feng Lin's arm wrapped around his waist, and said, "After washing up a bit, let's go to bed quickly, and get up earlier tomorrow, so that Captain Qian can't find anyone."
Hearing this, Feng Lin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly buried his head deeply in the socket of Yang Yiqin's shoulder, inhaling the scent of his neck and hair ends lingeringly.
The hot air in his breath made Yang Yiqin unbearably itchy.
Yang Yiqin hid a few times with a smile, and then felt a warm touch on his neck.
It was Feng Lin's kiss.
Yang Yiqin let him kiss lightly, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Feng Lin remained silent.
This kind of awkward attitude made Yang Yiqin puzzled.
After a while, Feng Lin slowly let go of Yang Yiqin, and turned to look at the two single beds in the bedroom.He frowned and said sadly, "Today, we will sleep in separate beds."
Yang Yiqin: "..."
Feng Lin frowned, thinking about the solution: "Can they be merged?"
"Forget it, the bed on the cruise ship should not be so easy to move." Yang Yiqin laughed, "And now is not the time to talk about this, maybe it will make it difficult for the people at the Haicheng base, they are also for our sake, so they will give We allocate accommodation in standard rooms.”
Feng Lin was extremely disappointed.
Yang Yiqin thought for a while and asked, "If you were squeezed into a single bed, would you kick me out of bed?"
In fact, the single bed on the cruise ship is not too small, even two big men who are over 1.8 meters tall can fit in a squeeze.Both of them belonged to the type who slept well, but their bodies might be close to each other.
Feng Lin's eyes suddenly filled with light.
"Absolutely not. Even if I fell myself, I wouldn't push you off."
"That's not so."
That night, the two embraced and slept together.
The next day.
At five o'clock in the morning, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin woke up.
After washing up, they went to the cafeteria of the Haicheng base to have breakfast today.In the cafeteria, the two also met Qian Guowei and others, so they shared a table with each other.
Qian Guowei asked: "You guys also get up so early?"
Yang Yiqin glanced at the time: "Didn't we already agree to gather on the deck at 06:30?"
"That's right." Qian Guowei also looked at the watch on his wrist, "But it's only 05:30 now."
Yang Yiqin smiled and explained: "It may be the first time I slept on a cruise ship, and I was a little unaccustomed to it, so I woke up naturally before the alarm clock went off. Even if I was docked on the shore, I still felt a slight shaking. "
"Indeed, we have a little too." As he spoke, Qian Guowei looked at Feng Lin who was beside him, "What about you? Are you sleeping well?"
Feng Lin replied: "It's okay."
I don't know if it's his own illusion, Qian Guowei always felt that there was a smile hidden deep in Feng Lin's eyes, which made him feel that the other party's sleep quality last night was not only good, but he was so happy just thinking about it .
Thinking of this, Qian Guowei's eyes fell on Feng Lin for a long time.
Feng Lin restrained the emotions deep in his eyes, and looked back in doubt.
Qian Guowei smiled awkwardly: "...No, it's nothing, just suddenly a little curious."
Seeing this, Yang Yiqin thought of something, and suddenly stopped eating.He couldn't help but hold his forehead, quietly stretched out his hand under the table, and poked Feng Lin's thigh.
The other party probably thought of two people sleeping in a single bed.
Feng Lin turned his gaze to Yang Yiqin with an innocent look.
Yang Yiqin took a sip of porridge, and quickly changed the topic: "Where is Captain Qian, is your conversation with General Meng going well?"
"It's going well." Qian Guowei said, "After I go back, I will report the situation to the upper management of the Beishi Survivor Base in time, and I will wait for Dr. Liang now."
Yang Yiqin frowned: "The dormitory for the researchers is also on the passenger ship, but after Dr. Liang and the others left with Dr. Xu, they didn't seem to come back all night."
"It's true that I didn't come back all night." Qian Guowei affirmed, "I went to see Dr. Liang last night, and they slept in the laboratory directly after the meeting."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin shook his head lightly.
"They're trying too hard."
"Only yesterday. Starting today, I will supervise Dr. Liang's sleep and diet."
"fair enough."
While they were talking, a group of strange people walked into the cafeteria.
The reason why the other party is said to be strange is not because they are all foreigners, but because they seem to have overreacted. Once a survivor approaches them, they will exaggerate and try to avoid the other party.Occasionally, the evasive movement made a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of everyone in the cafeteria, but everyone just glanced at them and then looked away.
As if used to this scene.
The group of people were accompanied by a few people from the Haicheng base, who seemed to be monitoring each other's every move.
Yang Yiqin asked: "...Who is that?"
Feng Lin also looked at Qian Guowei, waiting for his answer.
Qian Guowei replied, "That's what you think."
Yang Yiqin raised his eyebrows: "Foreign experts?"
"That's right, General Meng told me about their characteristics and origins yesterday, but I haven't had time to tell you."
"These people—" Yang Yiqin considered his words, "It seems a little too sensitive."
"I heard that I was frightened on Hubian Island, which is why I became so startled." Qian Guowei continued, "As for the specific frightened, we have no way of knowing, because when we talk about this incident , those few experts will speak incoherently.”
Yang Yiqin was curious: "There must have been other people going to the island with them back then, what about the others?"
Qian Guowei said in a deep voice, "The whole army is wiped out."
Feng Lin asked: "Then how did they survive?"
"Those people were not completely annihilated on Hubian Island, but mutated on the way to the Haicheng base, and the companions had no choice but to kill them all. In the end, the mercenaries who escorted the experts arrived did not approach Hubian Island. people."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin had more and more doubts in his heart.
"Since the experts have also seen the situation on Hubian Island with their own eyes, it means that they are also the group of people closest to the island. Why are some of them okay? Could it be that the activity of mutated cells in their bodies is much higher than that of those who escorted them? soldier?"
"That's right. Dr. Xu tested them, and the results were the same three times."
Neither Yang Yiqin nor Feng Lin expected that Qian Guowei would give an affirmative answer.
They turned their attention to the four foreign experts again.
People with higher mutated cell activity should look stronger than other survivors.However, the few people in front of them couldn't see anything outstanding, no matter from their thin body shape or their not-so-flexible actions.
Yang Yiqin guessed: "Could it be the brain that mutated?"
Qian Guowei looked serious: "There is a possibility, but they only accept blood tests and are unwilling to cooperate with other tests and experiments."
Dr. Xu will not force others, so he just determined that they are not at risk of being infected with the mutation.
Feng Lin asked: "They all come from the same safe zone?"
"They said so themselves." Qian Guowei said, "But they are not experts from one country. It is said that the safe zone is looking for experts in virology and biology all over the world to solve the current predicament. They were all recruited together."
At the end, Qian Guowei explained the situation outside to the two in detail.
The situation in foreign countries is different from that in China. Over there, survivors basically form gathering places spontaneously, and the number of people in each gathering place ranges from a few to dozens of people.Survivors distrust all power classes and prefer to form shelters as individuals and families rather than follow the so-called large security.
The group of experts who have come over now is located in a safe zone based on the company.
While the three of them were talking in a low voice, the foreign experts over there had packed their breakfast and left the cafeteria without stopping.
Yang Yiqin raised his beautiful eyebrows.
"Are you so cautious that you want to pack it up and take it away?"
"These experts have always been like this since they came to the Haicheng base. Even the mercenaries who escorted them couldn't approach them casually without their consent."
"That's a little outrageous."
"That's why General Meng has some doubts about them, and has been paying attention to their every move." Qian Guowei changed the subject, "Of course, he didn't forget to watch over the mercenaries, after all, he still can't confirm what they said. speak."
Yang Yiqin praised: "General Meng is thoughtful."
Talking here, breakfast is also finished.
It was not yet six o'clock.
Qian Guowei and his teammates stood up and looked back at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin.
"Shall we go to the deck together? Or do you want to
Meng Zheqi nodded solemnly: "Yes."
For a moment, everyone fell silent in unison.
Dr. Liang took out a notebook and a pen from his backpack, and wrote down the current situation of Haicheng on paper.The other three scientific researchers also took out their notebooks and wrote down the key points of the conversation, so that they can communicate with each other in the future to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
They came here with Academician Chen's expectations on their shoulders, but suddenly found that the reality was more difficult than imagined, and the burden in their hearts couldn't help but a little heavier.
After clearly recording the situation in front of Dr. Liang, he turned his head to look at Meng Zheqi, his eyes under the lens flickered with a strange light: "General Meng, besides the zombies we are seeing now, are there other more outrageous monsters? "
Hearing this, Qian Guowei and others also turned their attention to Meng Zheqi.
Meng Zheqi nodded heavily against everyone's gaze.
Qian Guowei hurriedly asked: "What does it look like?"
"Actually, the zombies you see now are already the appearance of the comrades in arms after they were wiped out and culled."
Speaking of this, Meng Zheqi walked to the front of the deck, pointed to the vast and endless ocean in the distance, and slowly opened his mouth to tell everyone about the completion of the base.
"These survivor bases along our coast have always been in touch with each other. In the early days, everyone even stayed in the same sea area. The sea is indeed safer. Animals and zombies cannot harm us, and deep-sea fish are infected. The possibility is basically zero. However, there is no supply of fresh water and vegetables for a long time, and there are often strong winds and waves on the sea level, and the ships sway from side to side day and night. Even if the soldiers can bear it, the ordinary people we rescued cannot bear it.
Therefore, we must return to land and build land bases step by step. "
The soldiers and scientific researchers who followed Meng Zheqi all had firm expressions in their eyes when they heard this.They are all part of the Haicheng base, watching the base step by step to the present.
In the short and long process of establishing the base, countless people were sacrificed and countless people were saved.
They will all be remembered forever.
"I know that there are many difficulties in coastal bases." Qian Guowei said solemnly, "Actually, when we come this time, General Zheng also wants me to ask you if there are any coastal bases that need personnel and weapons from Beishi Base. support."
"We'll talk about this later."
"it is good."
Meng Zheqi continued: "Unlike the bases in the north, winter does not affect our operations. On the contrary, the movements of the zombies are the slowest and stiffest in winter, and the weather is far from freezing the water. Therefore, we started to build a land base. The time was last winter."
Last winter, the cold current swept across Huaguo. Although it was rare for Haicheng to snow, the snow melted before it had time to accumulate.Although the weather is wet and cold, ordinary private cars are not affected when going out, let alone fighter planes and tanks.
"In the beginning, it was relatively smooth. We took advantage of the months when the zombies were slow to move, and quickly wiped out the zombies near the port, and established defense lines one after another. But after spring, the situation began to become difficult—— The movements of the zombies became agile and flexible, and they could even jump over a three- to four-meter-high barbed wire on a corpse ladder; after a while, they even began to fuse with each other to form a huge monster."
"As I mentioned before, in order to facilitate the establishment of a land base, we once bombed the zombies in the urban area. That operation successfully wiped out most of the zombies, but there are many tall buildings in the urban area, and we don't want to destroy too many buildings. , so special room was left for the bombing... Many zombies survived after losing their limbs or body organs, and merged into one body during the evolution of spring."
Hearing this, Qian Guowei asked, "Do you know the exact number of zombies?"
"There must be tens of millions." Meng Zheqi's tone was affirmative, "Because many zombies from other cities have come here one after another after the beginning of spring, killing them alone is definitely not enough. The firepower is limited, and we must preserve our combat power for future preparations. A rainy day."
Qian Guowei understands this dilemma.
That's why they mentioned support.
Dr. Xu on the side sighed softly: "To be honest, we even suspect that the zombies will continue to evolve according to this situation, and the bones may change. But at that time, it was not so easy to penetrate the zombie's head. The only way now is to develop a drug to eliminate the virus as soon as possible, and completely eradicate the zombies from this world."
At this time, Dr. Liang asked: "So, can I go and see the zombies outside the base?"
Meng Zheqi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you don't get too close to the zombie tide and high-rise buildings, I will immediately send people to escort all kinds of scientists."
Dr. Xu stood up: "I am also together. We have been studying the fusion of zombies for a while, and we can provide some help to the team of the younger brother. But after watching the zombies, I hope that the younger brother can take the time to go to the laboratory with me, and the zombies Solve doubts and exchange questions about virus serum."
Dr. Liang pursed his lips.
"no problem."
Qian Guowei reminded in a low voice: "There is also the matter of foreign experts."
"En." Dr. Xu nodded, "The people sent by General Meng have not returned yet, I will first communicate with my younger brother about the news delivered by those experts, and after our soldiers come back, I will sit down and discuss with foreign experts as appropriate. "
Meng Zheqi said: "Okay, Captain Qian and I will discuss the support in detail."
Qian Guowei asked: "Please let our people follow Haicheng's team to escort Dr. Liang and others to investigate the zombies. They are basically people with extremely high activity of mutated cells. They may participate in the operation on Hubian Island in the future."
Meng Zheqi nodded: "Yes."
Qian Guowei called out the names of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, and then called several teammates who were traveling with him.
Including Dr. Liang and Dr. Xu and other scientific researchers, there are 15 people in the team going to the center of Haicheng this time. Meng Zheqi directly took pictures of a medium and large armed helicopter escorting them.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin followed at the end of the team and boarded the helicopter.
Haicheng is also a large city with tens of millions of people. Even though the Haicheng base once bombed the zombies indiscriminately in the urban area, zombies swarmed in from other cities, filling the vacancy of dead and injured zombies, resulting in an explosion between here and Beishi. Compared with urban areas, the density of zombie groups is not much less.
The port location selected by the base is far from the urban area.
In order to take care of several scientific researchers, the pilot carefully drove the helicopter, and the whole flight was extremely smooth. It took more than half an hour to reach the most prosperous urban area in Haicheng.
After arriving at the destination, the helicopter stopped in mid-air.
The team leader of this mission stood up. He handed each of the scientific researchers a rope and asked them to tie one end of the rope around their waists. After making sure that everyone had a rope around their waists, he opened one side of the helicopter. side hatch.
Dr. Liang and Dr. Xu walked to the cabin door.
They are now at a height of Baimi, with several tall skyscrapers standing beside them, and below them are the streets that should have been bustling.
Now the streets are devastated, the roads have traces of bombing, corpses of zombies and animals can be seen everywhere on the ground, green vines spread across the city, greenery covers the streets, high-rise buildings, stop signs... and in this ruins and greenery intertwined On the streets of the city, there are hordes of zombies shuttling and wandering.
The team leader handed them the high-powered binoculars, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, but we can't put you on the roof of a certain high-rise building now, because vines are growing everywhere, and we can't be sure whether the building is as strong as before. collapsed..."
Dr. Liang took the telescope and nodded: "Thank you, we understand."
Yang Yiqin couldn't help asking: "So far, have many buildings collapsed in the urban area of Haicheng?"
"There is a part, but not a large-scale collapse." The team leader explained, "Most of the buildings here are of acceptable quality and can temporarily resist the erosion of vines, but there will always be accidents."
Yang Yiqin looked at the blasted roads: "Indeed, there are many traces of bombing in the city."
Feng Lin said with deep eyes: "Even if you deliberately avoid places with densely populated high-rise buildings, it should have somewhat affected the buildings."
"Actually, we have carried out two bombings." The team leader explained in detail, "One was before the establishment of the land base, in order to build the land part of the base; Going to the base, we can only carry out a second large-scale bombing of the zombies in the urban areas of the coastal cities. Although the bombing range is large enough to blow up the zombies, it may not be able to blow the heads of the zombies..."
Feng Lin looked down at the monsters on the street, and continued with the team leader's words: "If you don't bomb it, you can't survive; if you don't bomb it cleanly, it will create conditions for the fusion of zombies and promote the generation of fusion zombies."
The team leader shook his head helplessly: "That's right, it's a dilemma, we can only choose the most beneficial method."
But if the entire city is to be destroyed... Although the base has encountered numerous difficulties at this stage, it has not been forced to that point for the time being.
A city is built by countless cultures and histories.
At least before they are desperate, they hope to use their utmost efforts to preserve the civilization of this era for future generations.
Yang Yiqin looked sincerely: "If we work harder, we will always find a solution to the end times."
The captain nodded emphatically.
"Most definitely."
At this time, several scientific researchers were standing on the edge of the hatch, wearing binoculars to observe the zombies and vines.
Yang Yiqin stood directly behind them, taking advantage of his height to overlook the urban area below, and his eyes fell on the gathered zombies.Since the end of the world broke out, his eyesight has become increasingly clear, and now it is so good that it is beyond the scope of human beings.
Feng Lin's strength was also outrageous.
Before, it was considered the strength that human beings could obtain through exercise, but now it has already exceeded the limit of human beings.
As for Qian Guowei and the others, even if they didn't tell them, Yang Yiqin could feel the other party's agility and strength growing during the mission.Even if it is not the ordinary of a dominant mutant, it has been honed by the end of the world to be a bit stronger.
But it doesn't stop there.
Compared with the evolution of the zombie population, the changes in humans are almost negligible.
Looking at the huge meat ball condensed into a ball below, Yang Yiqin's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
The team leader who accompanied him had long been used to such scenes. He said "sorry" while squeezing in front of the scientific research personnel, and took out a grenade gun to aim at the meat ball below.After the lump of meat ball slowly mixed into the square, he shot the meat ball.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the meat ball exploded into pieces.
In order to prevent them from merging again, the team leader fired two more shots in that direction to ensure that there was no intact head below.
Witnessing the destruction of the meatball, Dr. Liang put the binoculars under his arm and quickly recorded what he had just seen and heard in his notebook. When recording, he did not forget to include pictures and texts for easy recall and analysis.
Dr. Xu opened his mouth and explained to them: "Giant meat balls like this are actually just the most common fusion method. The most frightening thing is that after the chaotic and disorderly fusion, the zombies that could not move freely now have abilities far surpassing that of humans. ability to move."
Dr. Liang pushed his glasses slightly: "Is there an example?"
Dr. Xu looked for it, then pointed to a tall building on the right, and said, "Look in that direction, there is a rather strange fusion zombie under that building."
Dr. Liang put on the binoculars again and looked in the direction she pointed.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin also looked over there.
At the position Dr. Xu pointed to, there was a fusion zombie galloping towards the armed helicopter at an extremely fast speed.The reason why it can be so fast is because it is lying on the ground like a centipede, and its four pairs of legs are arranged very neatly, which is convenient for orderly and fast movement.
What's even more outrageous is that it was not formed by the fusion of four zombies - because Yang Yiqin saw a total of six heads and nine arms.
While looking into the distance with his binoculars, Dr. Liang said with a leisurely smile, "It's kind of interesting, just like the human experiment in the movie. If it wasn't for the end of the world, I should be very willing to see such a guy exist."
Dr. Xu: "..."
Captain: "..."
Even though he knew his character for a long time, Yang Yiqin still felt quite helpless: "It's still different. They spontaneously merged into such a monster. The kind Dr. Liang said was forced to help."
Dr. Liang looked at him: "You mean, disabled zombies are more cohesive?"
"That's right." Yang Yiqin simply followed his words, "Having a strong sense of self-management."
Dr. Liang shrugged with a smile.
"Junior Brother." Dr. Xu reminded with a serious expression, "Now is not the time to joke, I hope you can get enough information here, so that you can help the teacher when you go back."
Hearing her talk about Academician Chen, Dr. Liang finally became serious.
The armed helicopter shuttled back and forth in the bustling urban area. The group observed enough zombies and killed the fusion zombies they saw before returning to the Haicheng base.
The first thing to return is naturally to undergo quarantine inspection.
As the time approached dusk, a group of people just ran into a survivor who had returned from going out.Although the urban area is very dangerous, the base did not prevent everyone from going out to collect supplies, but only limited the scope, hoping that they could only operate in the suburbs and near the coastline.
The survivors greeted Dr. Xu one after another.
"Good evening, Dr. Xu."
"Dr. Xu went out to see zombies again?"
"Dr. Xu, how long will it take us to get out the zombie virus serum?"
"..."
It can be seen that Dr. Xu should communicate with these people frequently on weekdays, and he must be easy-going and unassuming, so that everyone is so enthusiastic and close.
Dr. Xu was in a good mood, and answered everyone's questions one by one: "Good evening, Dr. Liang and others from the Beishi base have come to our Haicheng base. They will work with the Haicheng Research Institute to study zombie viruses. Dr. Liang led Here comes the serum and the method of making it, and I believe it won’t be long before everyone will have virus serum in their hands.”
Hearing this, there was a burst of exclamation among the survivors.
Immediately afterwards, there was deafening applause.
Before everyone surrounded them enthusiastically, the team leader quickly stopped the survivors and persuaded them: "Several researchers have just returned, and there are still many things to discuss. If you have any questions, let's talk about them another day."
Hearing this, everyone restrained their doubts and watched Dr. Xu and others leave.
The team leader allocated residences for everyone, and gave each of them a badge, explaining the functions of each place in the base, and telling them that by showing the badges, they can go to any public place in the Haicheng base, and they can also eat for free in the cafeteria.
Then, he hurriedly led the team to leave.
Dr. Xu looked at Dr. Liang and the team of scientists he led: "You can come to the laboratory for dinner, so that we can have a meeting directly after eating."
Dr. Liang nodded: "Alright."
After the researchers left, only Yang Yiqin and others were left.
Yang Yiqin said to the others: "Feng Lin and I are in the same room, let's tidy up our things first, and then go to eat."
The others nodded and waved goodbye to the two of them temporarily.
They can't move freely, so they have to return to the team to report today's situation to Captain Qian.
The accommodation arranged for them by the Haicheng base is on a small cruise ship docked next to the warship.Although it is a small cruise ship, it is only compared with a huge warship. A private cruise ship itself can be called luxurious.
There are many large and small cruise ships next to the warship.
As the number of survivors on the base increased, these cruise ships became part of the sea base.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin did not return to their residence immediately, but stepped onto the deck of the largest warship to observe the sea area near the Haicheng base before night fell.
The sea was calm.
Looking at the area outside the base, you can still see a few floating corpses floating on the sea level. The arms of the floating corpses twitch and wave a few times from time to time. It is obvious that they are zombies running into the sea one by one.
Yang Yiqin's eyes fell on the sparkling sea water: "I hope this sea area can always remain calm."
He is worried that there will be a situation like the artificial lake in the small park.
Experimental studies have proved that zombie animals do not infect each other, but zombie humans bite or scratch animals, which will cause animals to mutate into zombies.Zombies generally attack humans first, and rarely attack animals actively, which leads to the number of mutant animals being far greater than zombie animals.
Mutable animals are able to communicate and communicate, and even help humans with many jobs.
Zombie animals, on the other hand, only attack humans.
"There will be no problem." Feng Lin said firmly, "It is very difficult for zombies to dive to the bottom of the water. At most, they will disturb the fish schools close to the sea level, and will not cause large-scale fish schools to zombify."
"But after seeing the zombies in Haicheng City, I always have a bad feeling."
"Then we will completely eradicate the zombies before they mutate."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin smiled slightly: "So we are doing our best to assist researchers in their experimental research."
Feng Lin looked at him: "But if we are asked to go to Hubian Island now, I will refuse."
Yang Yiqin turned his gaze to him.
"why?"
"I don't want you to be in danger." Feng Lin's eyes were far-reaching, "The urban area of Haicheng has become like that. As the birthplace of the virus, the situation on Hubian Island will only get worse."
Yang Yiqin's gaze fell on the distant sea level.
To accomplish something of great significance, there are always people who have to take the lead and risk themselves. If they are the only ones who can do this, he is willing to risk himself, but he also does not want Feng Lin to be in a dangerous situation. .
"We shouldn't be allowed to land on the island so soon. At most, we should fly around the island and observe it like the people who have already passed." Yang Yiqin mused, "It is not yet known whether Hubian Island is the origin of the virus. Let’s wait for the first batch of people who went there to return.”
According to the original plan, they just came together this time to learn about the situation in the origin of the virus in advance, so they don't have to think about landing on the island for the time being.
You should take action after communicating with Academician Chen.
Feng Lin took his hand.
"it is good."
As night fell, the two returned to their residence.
The cruise ship was parked next to the warship. It should have just been used by the base. Many things inside had not been replaced in time. Most of the area was covered with a white cloth for storage, and various material boxes were piled up in the corners.From the internal structure, it can be inferred that the ship was originally a commercial luxury passenger ship, with luxurious and beautiful decoration inside, including gorgeous banquet halls, restaurants, play areas and guest rooms.
The rooms are all standard rooms or double rooms for two people.
All the dormitories from Beishi were arranged here, occupying one of the high-rise floors of the passenger ship.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin walked into their room with their respective luggage.
It is a very spacious standard room - as soon as you step into the room, you can see a clean bathroom; if you look in, you will find that there are almost no extras in the room except stools, wardrobes and bedding Object; at the end is a small door and window, and outside the door is a small open terrace with a direct view of the sea.
The bedding in the room is all brand new, it should be specially cleaned by the people from the Haicheng base, just to welcome their arrival.
The two put their things on the ground and began to organize clothes and toiletries outside.
According to Qian Guowei, if things go well, they will probably need to stay here for a week.If other unforeseen circumstances happened, such as Dr. Xu's team had trouble making the zombie virus serum, or things involving Hubian Island, they might stay for a while longer.
But it will not exceed half a month at most.
Because they had to sort out the news here as soon as possible, and convey it to the Beishi base accurately, and also brought the samples of the zombies and vines to Academician Chen in time, so as not to slow down the progress of the experimental research.
Therefore, the two each prepared two sets of laundry.
After packing up their things, they didn't go to the cafeteria to eat, but directly ate the compressed biscuits they carried with them to satisfy their hunger.
Yang Yiqin took a bite of compressed biscuits, walked to the terrace at the end of the dormitory while eating, and looked at the vast ocean and endless sky.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the moon and stars hung in the deep blue sky, casting flowing and fine shadows on the sea.
Feng Lin stood side by side with him.
"Feng Lin."
"Well, I'm here."
"Do you remember that we discussed before, whether to take a cruise ship to go fishing?"
"Remember, you said you would go after I graduated."
"It's a pity." Yang Yiqin shook his head slightly with regret, and then he bent his eyes, which reflected the bright stars, "I couldn't even attend your graduation ceremony."
The end of the world happened at the beginning of June, just before Feng Lin's graduation ceremony.
As the time for graduation approached, they imagined countless ways to celebrate.It was precisely because of this incident that Yang Yiqin pushed all the work together, resulting in very little communication between the two in those few days.
However, God did not wish.
A sudden disaster strikes, Yang Yiqin's work is not completed, Feng Lin's graduation ceremony is nowhere in sight, and the sea fishing trip they envisioned is temporarily put on hold.
Hearing this, Feng Lin surrounded Yang Yiqin from behind.
His eyes were firm and persistent, and he said word by word: "Maybe I will never be able to graduate, but sooner or later we will be free to celebrate all the happy things. At that time, I will follow you wherever you want to go."
Yang Yiqin swallowed the last bite of compressed biscuit, looked back at him, and jokingly said, "Are you the spirit behind the scenes?"
Feng Lin pursed his lips: "It can be."
Yang Yiqin couldn't help laughing.
Free to celebrate anything?
He also believes so firmly.
Yang Yiqin pointed to the line of sea and sky: "Think about it from another angle, aren't we on the passenger ship now? We can see the vast sky and sea, but we can't fish in the sea."
Feng Lin said again: "You can fish."
He wasn't joking, anyway, even if there were no conditions, he could create them himself.
"Forget it." Yang Yiqin interrupted his thinking with a smile, "We are here to carry out a mission, and we can put the cart before the horse."
And he doesn't have that thought at all now.
Even if you want to fish, it's to see if there are any zombie-like fish under this sea area.
The two embraced and chatted, and before they knew it, it was time to rest.There is nothing they need to do at the Haicheng base for the time being. The two of them just need to maintain a good condition and follow Qian Guowei's orders.
Yang Yiqin patted Feng Lin's arm wrapped around his waist, and said, "After washing up a bit, let's go to bed quickly, and get up earlier tomorrow, so that Captain Qian can't find anyone."
Hearing this, Feng Lin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly buried his head deeply in the socket of Yang Yiqin's shoulder, inhaling the scent of his neck and hair ends lingeringly.
The hot air in his breath made Yang Yiqin unbearably itchy.
Yang Yiqin hid a few times with a smile, and then felt a warm touch on his neck.
It was Feng Lin's kiss.
Yang Yiqin let him kiss lightly, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Feng Lin remained silent.
This kind of awkward attitude made Yang Yiqin puzzled.
After a while, Feng Lin slowly let go of Yang Yiqin, and turned to look at the two single beds in the bedroom.He frowned and said sadly, "Today, we will sleep in separate beds."
Yang Yiqin: "..."
Feng Lin frowned, thinking about the solution: "Can they be merged?"
"Forget it, the bed on the cruise ship should not be so easy to move." Yang Yiqin laughed, "And now is not the time to talk about this, maybe it will make it difficult for the people at the Haicheng base, they are also for our sake, so they will give We allocate accommodation in standard rooms.”
Feng Lin was extremely disappointed.
Yang Yiqin thought for a while and asked, "If you were squeezed into a single bed, would you kick me out of bed?"
In fact, the single bed on the cruise ship is not too small, even two big men who are over 1.8 meters tall can fit in a squeeze.Both of them belonged to the type who slept well, but their bodies might be close to each other.
Feng Lin's eyes suddenly filled with light.
"Absolutely not. Even if I fell myself, I wouldn't push you off."
"That's not so."
That night, the two embraced and slept together.
The next day.
At five o'clock in the morning, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin woke up.
After washing up, they went to the cafeteria of the Haicheng base to have breakfast today.In the cafeteria, the two also met Qian Guowei and others, so they shared a table with each other.
Qian Guowei asked: "You guys also get up so early?"
Yang Yiqin glanced at the time: "Didn't we already agree to gather on the deck at 06:30?"
"That's right." Qian Guowei also looked at the watch on his wrist, "But it's only 05:30 now."
Yang Yiqin smiled and explained: "It may be the first time I slept on a cruise ship, and I was a little unaccustomed to it, so I woke up naturally before the alarm clock went off. Even if I was docked on the shore, I still felt a slight shaking. "
"Indeed, we have a little too." As he spoke, Qian Guowei looked at Feng Lin who was beside him, "What about you? Are you sleeping well?"
Feng Lin replied: "It's okay."
I don't know if it's his own illusion, Qian Guowei always felt that there was a smile hidden deep in Feng Lin's eyes, which made him feel that the other party's sleep quality last night was not only good, but he was so happy just thinking about it .
Thinking of this, Qian Guowei's eyes fell on Feng Lin for a long time.
Feng Lin restrained the emotions deep in his eyes, and looked back in doubt.
Qian Guowei smiled awkwardly: "...No, it's nothing, just suddenly a little curious."
Seeing this, Yang Yiqin thought of something, and suddenly stopped eating.He couldn't help but hold his forehead, quietly stretched out his hand under the table, and poked Feng Lin's thigh.
The other party probably thought of two people sleeping in a single bed.
Feng Lin turned his gaze to Yang Yiqin with an innocent look.
Yang Yiqin took a sip of porridge, and quickly changed the topic: "Where is Captain Qian, is your conversation with General Meng going well?"
"It's going well." Qian Guowei said, "After I go back, I will report the situation to the upper management of the Beishi Survivor Base in time, and I will wait for Dr. Liang now."
Yang Yiqin frowned: "The dormitory for the researchers is also on the passenger ship, but after Dr. Liang and the others left with Dr. Xu, they didn't seem to come back all night."
"It's true that I didn't come back all night." Qian Guowei affirmed, "I went to see Dr. Liang last night, and they slept in the laboratory directly after the meeting."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin shook his head lightly.
"They're trying too hard."
"Only yesterday. Starting today, I will supervise Dr. Liang's sleep and diet."
"fair enough."
While they were talking, a group of strange people walked into the cafeteria.
The reason why the other party is said to be strange is not because they are all foreigners, but because they seem to have overreacted. Once a survivor approaches them, they will exaggerate and try to avoid the other party.Occasionally, the evasive movement made a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of everyone in the cafeteria, but everyone just glanced at them and then looked away.
As if used to this scene.
The group of people were accompanied by a few people from the Haicheng base, who seemed to be monitoring each other's every move.
Yang Yiqin asked: "...Who is that?"
Feng Lin also looked at Qian Guowei, waiting for his answer.
Qian Guowei replied, "That's what you think."
Yang Yiqin raised his eyebrows: "Foreign experts?"
"That's right, General Meng told me about their characteristics and origins yesterday, but I haven't had time to tell you."
"These people—" Yang Yiqin considered his words, "It seems a little too sensitive."
"I heard that I was frightened on Hubian Island, which is why I became so startled." Qian Guowei continued, "As for the specific frightened, we have no way of knowing, because when we talk about this incident , those few experts will speak incoherently.”
Yang Yiqin was curious: "There must have been other people going to the island with them back then, what about the others?"
Qian Guowei said in a deep voice, "The whole army is wiped out."
Feng Lin asked: "Then how did they survive?"
"Those people were not completely annihilated on Hubian Island, but mutated on the way to the Haicheng base, and the companions had no choice but to kill them all. In the end, the mercenaries who escorted the experts arrived did not approach Hubian Island. people."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin had more and more doubts in his heart.
"Since the experts have also seen the situation on Hubian Island with their own eyes, it means that they are also the group of people closest to the island. Why are some of them okay? Could it be that the activity of mutated cells in their bodies is much higher than that of those who escorted them? soldier?"
"That's right. Dr. Xu tested them, and the results were the same three times."
Neither Yang Yiqin nor Feng Lin expected that Qian Guowei would give an affirmative answer.
They turned their attention to the four foreign experts again.
People with higher mutated cell activity should look stronger than other survivors.However, the few people in front of them couldn't see anything outstanding, no matter from their thin body shape or their not-so-flexible actions.
Yang Yiqin guessed: "Could it be the brain that mutated?"
Qian Guowei looked serious: "There is a possibility, but they only accept blood tests and are unwilling to cooperate with other tests and experiments."
Dr. Xu will not force others, so he just determined that they are not at risk of being infected with the mutation.
Feng Lin asked: "They all come from the same safe zone?"
"They said so themselves." Qian Guowei said, "But they are not experts from one country. It is said that the safe zone is looking for experts in virology and biology all over the world to solve the current predicament. They were all recruited together."
At the end, Qian Guowei explained the situation outside to the two in detail.
The situation in foreign countries is different from that in China. Over there, survivors basically form gathering places spontaneously, and the number of people in each gathering place ranges from a few to dozens of people.Survivors distrust all power classes and prefer to form shelters as individuals and families rather than follow the so-called large security.
The group of experts who have come over now is located in a safe zone based on the company.
While the three of them were talking in a low voice, the foreign experts over there had packed their breakfast and left the cafeteria without stopping.
Yang Yiqin raised his beautiful eyebrows.
"Are you so cautious that you want to pack it up and take it away?"
"These experts have always been like this since they came to the Haicheng base. Even the mercenaries who escorted them couldn't approach them casually without their consent."
"That's a little outrageous."
"That's why General Meng has some doubts about them, and has been paying attention to their every move." Qian Guowei changed the subject, "Of course, he didn't forget to watch over the mercenaries, after all, he still can't confirm what they said. speak."
Yang Yiqin praised: "General Meng is thoughtful."
Talking here, breakfast is also finished.
It was not yet six o'clock.
