Three full days have passed since the bus accident.

At this time, Gong Qianye was already in the second research institute where she worked.

The Second Research Institute is located in a mountain [-] kilometers outside of City B.From the outside, no one would notice that this seemingly normal hill has been completely hollowed out and transformed into a modern research institute.

The entire Second Research Institute is as high as 38 floors, and the height of each floor varies from 4 to 10 meters due to different functions. The overall height is similar to the height of this hill.

Every time Gong Qianye walked in the building and looked up at the high ceiling, she felt an unreal feeling of vertigo.Due to the high floor, there are many light panels simulating sunlight throughout the institute, making it feel like daylight 24 hours a day.

The research institute also has its own ventilation system. There is no window but it is not gloomy, and it can maintain constant temperature and oxygen.

The top ten floors of the research institute are the residence, catering center and life center of the researchers.The ten floors in the middle are various laboratories.The bottom eighteen floors are all used for the detention of various ordinary zombies and mutant zombies.

When working on the eighteenth floor below, Gong Qianye could often hear the low growls of various zombies.

Some colleagues joked that this place is the [-]th floor of hell.

Yes, hell.

Gong Qianye agreed with this, the zombies living here were once human.

After they died, they were pushed into hell on earth by a disaster.

On the eighteenth floor and the upper floors, there is a complete isolation zone to ensure the safety of all researchers.

The security facilities of the research institute are very complete, and the entire building is shockproof and waterproof, and has a special air circulation device.Like the Third Research Institute, there are also various emergency escape routes and self-destruct systems.In the event of a serious accident, 24 hours later, the entire mountain will collapse and be automatically destroyed.

Entering a graduate school means working with various chemistry, medicine, and biology.

Like Gong Qianye, there are not a few young people who want to change this apocalyptic world with science, and for this reason, there are not a few young people who work in research institutes.

In the last days when the population is shrinking and fertility is encouraged.

The research topics here are heavy, and the time is very tight, so that people don't even have time to fall in love.

Gong Qianye had just returned to the office after recording the results of a set of experiments, and the colleague at the next table said to her, "Qianye, you were not there just now, Professor Wu told you to come back and find him."

Gong Qianye suddenly received such news, her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly took the elevator to the 24th floor where Professor Wu was.

There is a huge elevator in the research institute that directly runs through the entire mountain.If the partition device on the top of the mountain is opened, people can look directly up from the glass elevator and see the blue sky or starry sky outside.

Professor Wu's name is Wu Weichen, he is the person in charge of this second research institute, and he is also the highest-ranking person in this research institute.

He used to have another identity. Twenty-two years ago, he was Jiang Shuhuai's assistant in the 22 Research Institute.

The door of Professor Wu's office was ajar. Gong Qianye sorted out her nervous mood at the door, knocked on the door lightly, and there was a "come in" from inside.

Only then did Gong Qianye push the door open, and stood in front of Professor Wu's desk. Professor Wu was over 40 years old this year, and he looked gentle and elegant. His face was thin, with few wrinkles and gray hair, and there were no signs of aging. .On the contrary, because of his bookish air, he has a taste and aura that young people don't have.

"Gong Qianye, right? I read your article. The analysis of the memory of mutant zombies is very inspiring. But there are some minor problems in it." Professor Wu said with a smile.

Since that night, Gong Qianye coded what she saw and thought into a small essay the next day.When she sent the paper to Professor Wu, she didn't hold out much hope.Professor Wu is so busy every day, how can he have time to take care of such a small role as himself?

But now, Professor Wu not only looked at it, but also looked at it very carefully.

Gong Qianye was flattered to accept Professor Wu's revised thesis, and carefully read every mark. It did add a lot of details, which also made her theory more perfect.

Wu Weichen looked at Gong Qianye with a smile, "By the way, you really like to study the Noah's Ark project proposed by Professor Jiang?

"Yes! Professor Jiang's plan is too subtle, he is my idol." Gong Qian pushed her glasses to tell the truth, even though she has graduated with a Ph. I feel that I am more nervous than the college entrance examination back then.The person in front of him not only knew Professor Jiang Shuhuaijiang, but also used to be his assistant, the person closest to him.

Wu Weichen smiled slightly, took out a small box, opened it and handed it to Gong Qianye, "These things are some of the relics of Professor Jiang Shuhuai. They were sealed after the 285 Research Institute was confiscated and kept until the post-apocalyptic research institute It was found out from the military warehouse. Due to the age, many things have not been electronically digitized. Can you help me scan and save some of them?"

"Okay, okay." Gong Qianye suddenly received such a sacred task.He held the box in his hands nervously.She looked down, and there were several notebooks and some draft paper in the box.

Although it's just a simple job like copying and archiving, it is already a very happy thing for Miya Chiba to see the authentic works of idols.

"If you want to do an experiment on the memory of zombies, you can also write an experiment report to me, and I will approve it." Wu Weichen stood up after finishing speaking, "I'm going to do a very important thing right now. If there is a chance, I can tell you what the real Noah's Ark project is."

"The real Noah's Ark project?" Gong Qianye repeated these words, her eyes widened suddenly, and her heart became excited, as if someone lit a fire there.

Gong Qianye carried the box all the way out, her whole body fluttering, the corridor was quiet, only the sound of her footsteps touching the floor could be heard.

She walked to the office where she was, and began to organize the materials one by one.She scanned each page of data and backed it up to the research institute's dedicated cloud system.Since it is the end of the world, data preservation is particularly important. Several major research institutes in the country have data cloud storage functions, so that even if a research institute falls, the project will not be interrupted because of the loss of data. .

Gong Qianye was copying, and the time passed by every minute and every second. When it was about to end, a bookmark suddenly fell out of one of the books, and it fell gently, and stopped at her feet like a fallen leaf. side.

There is a sentence written on the bookmark, which Gong Qianye has seen countless times in various media.

——"There will be a major disaster in the world, and I will leave a key to the world, which will close Pandora's magic box."

22 years ago, Professor Jiang Shuhuai, a genius doctor, faced the media and said such a sentence before being taken away by the military. No one would have thought that this sentence would become his last words.

Ten years ago, the young Gong Qianye found an old newspaper, cut out the news report about this passage, and pasted it together with Jiang Shuhuai's photo on the front page of the notebook. as you can see.

She has taken this passage as truth ever since.

Believe it or not.

At that time, more people were taking this sentence as a joke.

The great medical scientist admired by thousands of people fell from the sky and turned into a demon, a lunatic, he had paranoia, and he left a sentence that no one could understand.People at that time were mocking like this.

Until the end of the world comes, until the Noah's Ark plan is brought up again.

This sentence was suddenly regarded as the bible by people, and became the last straw to save mankind.

At that time, Gong Qianye wanted to laugh, to laugh at those stupid humans.

But now, in the process of packing up Jiang Shuhuai's belongings, Gong Qianye saw the line written by him on a used bookmark.

Gong Qianye felt that she was talking to her 13-year-old self, and talking to Jiang Shuhuai across the air. This feeling made her heart beat faster and her hairs stood on end.She suppressed the excitement in her heart, and held the bookmark firmly in her hand. For a moment, she thought, what would happen if she secretly left this bookmark behind?

Gong Qianye looked around to make sure that the colleagues around her were all busy and no one was looking at her.Only then did she have the courage to peek at the bookmark again to make sure that all this was not her hallucination.

Jiang Shuhuai's handwriting is elegant, strong and powerful, and every stroke is meticulous.

——"There will be a major disaster in the world. I will leave a key to the world. He will close Pandora's magic box."

Gong Qianye glanced hastily, and she was sensitive to find that this sentence was different from what she had seen in the past...

Yes, what's the difference...

The quote on the bookmark is not the same as it is quoted in all media, all TV programs.

Gong Qianye has read this sentence for 13 years, and she firmly remembers the 32 characters in total, even if she writes it backwards, there will be no mistakes.

But now, Gong Qianye discovered that the world is far from the truth.

It never occurred to people that the key was never a book, a formula, a vaccine.

They were wrong at the source.

Ever since Jiang Shuhuai said this with a smile when he faced the media and was taken away by the military, stupid human beings automatically called the so-called "key" "it".

But the real "key" - is "he".

Gong Qianye put the bookmark on her chest, and at this moment, suddenly, the alarm bells rang out in the research institute.

The white light flickered a few times before automatically jumping to red.

A huge roar sounded, as if some monster suddenly woke up from a deep sleep.

Even the No.19 floor where Miya Chiba is located can clearly feel that the entire research institute is trembling.

Red alert!

Highest red alert of all security levels!

At this time, nothing is more important than life.

Gong Qianye put the bookmark in his pocket and ran out following the flow of people.

The stairs were covered with white paper, and the corridor was splattered with blood. Gong Qianye hardly knew the road she had just walked an hour ago.

Why?Why did the zombies who were originally imprisoned below the [-]th floor suddenly come out?

What monster made that roar again?

All the people didn't care to think about these problems, they were all panicking and rushing to the safe exit.

Gong Qianye was also running, following a male colleague in the same office as her, when suddenly a mutated zombie rushed out, opened its mouth and bit off the male colleague's head.

Gong Qianye let out a scream, turned around and ran in another direction...

At this time, Mr. K, Zou Lang finally waited for the news that the division commander had returned to Mr. K. Mijingtang accompanied him all the way to the division commander's office.

"Master ordered no one to go in..." Two personal guards guarded the door, seeing Zou Lang walking over with an unhappy expression, they stretched out their hands to stop them.

Zou Lang didn't care about the 21, and said, "I want to see my brother." Then he opened the door and barged in.

Zou Fang just came back and was resting in the back room of the office. When he heard the door open, he walked out from the back room two steps and said to the two guards, "Let him in."

Only then did the personal guard dare to let Zou Lang in.

Zou Lang stood in front of Zou Fang. He looked at the elder brother who grew up with him, and felt both familiar and unfamiliar. He was his relative, but since Zou Fang joined the army as an adult, the two had been together for a while. Many, I don't know why, when I recall it now, there are many times when two people quarrel and fight in my memory, but I can't remember the moments of warmth.For a moment he wondered where to start.

Zou Fang sat on the slightly exaggerated swivel chair dedicated to the teacher, raised his chin, and looked at Zou Lang: "What do you want from me?"

Zou Lang hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother, why did you temporarily send me to City K this time?"

In the past two days, there have been rumors in the division that Mr. Zou is unwilling to show favoritism to his younger brother, and when he is sent to the dangerous front line, he will treat everyone else equally.

Zou Lang already felt that he had been cheated, and the feeling of being used as a pawn by his own brother was even more uncomfortable.As soon as he met Zou Fang, he couldn't say anything about being bitten, so he asked the question first.He just wanted to ask his brother face to face what he thought, and if he really wanted to use him to set up a typical case of killing relatives righteously.

Zou Fang coughed twice, and said with some displeasure: "You were the closest to City K at that time, so you were naturally dispatched there. Zou Lang, are you stupid to take a few days off? You don't know what Master K is doing here by yourself Did you think it was just playing house?"

"Do you know that I almost died this time?" Zou Lang was a little choked up for a moment, he went around life and death, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that Zou Fang didn't seem to care about his life or death.He is not afraid of death, but this kind of indifference of family affection makes him sad. He has always been an optimist, but this does not mean that he does not care about these things.

Zou Fang looked at Zou Lang, frowned slightly, and was dissatisfied with why he said such words of coveting life and fearing death. He is a strict person, and it is the same for himself.He thought Zou Lang was just playing with his childish temper. In his impression, Zou Lang seemed to be that teenage boy who caused trouble everywhere. When his father was too busy when he was called a parent, it was his elder brother who dealt with it.

Zou Fang replied to him in a deep voice: "If you die, I can make you a martyr. If you complete the task, you will naturally get a raise in salary. Division K has sacrificed a total of 514 soldiers since its establishment. Just yesterday Two more died, they are the sons of others, brother, I don’t think you are much nobler than them. The special forces have lived a life of risking their lives. If you want to go home and stay in peace.”

At this point, seeing Zou Lang standing there hesitating to speak and looking at him, Zou Fang finally softened his tone a little and said, "Besides, aren't you back well now?"

"I was bitten." This sentence had already reached Zou Lang's mouth, and he suddenly wanted to say it, to see if his brother would be sad and anxious for him. He hoped that his brother could stand by his side at this time, Solve the problem, but he is afraid... He is afraid that his brother will not care, and that even if he dies, he will only get a military salute from Zou Fang.

At this time, a soft sigh came from the inside of the office.

There are people in the back room of the teacher's office.

Zou Lang took a step back and stopped the words that came to his lips.He looked at his brother's eyes from disappointment to loss.

"Do you have anything else to do? If you have nothing to do, go out first. Even if you are my younger brother, you can't rush in like this." Zou Fang didn't seem to notice this, he lowered his head and coughed twice.

Zou Lang hesitated for a moment.

But Zou Fang began to issue the order to evict the guests. Seeing that Zou Lang hadn't moved, he raised his head impatiently and said coldly: "Why don't you leave? Do you still need me to see you off in person?"

Zou Lang turned around and walked out.

Mijingtang stood outside waiting for Zou Lang, seeing Zou Lang coming out a little discouraged, guessed the result, but still asked him: "Did you say it?"

Zou Lang shook his head, the sun at noon was bright and bright, but cast a dark shadow behind him, "No, there seem to be other people in the office."

Mijingtang frowned slightly, he was standing outside the door, and he heard more or less a sentence of the conversation inside, is this brother really his own?He was a little slandering in his heart, and he didn't say anything to add fuel to the flames, but patted Zou Lang on the shoulder to show comfort: "Let's find another chance next time."

It's been 72 hours, it should be... all right?
