Undead
Chapter 56
In the office.
Zhou Rong put down the piece of paper filled with words. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I'm very surprised by your generosity and cooperation, Miss Chen."
Chen Yajing said, "I can be more generous and cooperative."
Chen Yajing leaned back in her wheelchair and folded her hands. She looked very relaxed. "I can send someone to the port to pick you up once every ten days. That means that if you can't find a base in the South China Sea, you can regularly dock every ten days to replenish your water and supplies.
In addition, I will provide weapons and manpower. I can send people to search for experienced sailors and fishermen along the coast and persuade them to accompany and assist you with favorable conditions … "
Zhou Rong smiled and asked, "Are you planning to compete for the top ten people who touched China? Forgive me for being presumptuous, but there shouldn't be such an award now."
"No," Chen Yajing said lightly, "I have conditions."
Zhou Rong turned around and left.
"Captain Zhou!
You're not even interested in making a deal? "
Zhou Rong said coldly, "A deal?
Miss Chen, I've always been the one to make conditions for others. Since when did it become other people's turn to make a deal with me? "
Chen Yajing was speechless for a moment. Zhou Rong was about to walk out of the office. In a hurry, she shouted, "Your so-called mission!"
"… Your Omega."
She saw Zhou Rong stop and said slowly, "You can all leave, but the person you called Sinan can't."
"Why?" Zhou Rong tilted his head and asked.
"Don't ask why, but you can pray …" Chen Yajing said word by word, "Pray that you will know the fate of all mankind one day."
Zhou Rong nodded and sighed. Chen Yajing's vision suddenly blurred.
She didn't have time to react. Zhou Rong was so fast that he seemed to disappear on the spot and suddenly appeared in front of her. He bent down and reached out to tear her trousers!
Chen Yajing couldn't dodge in time. Her entire greyish-white calf was exposed to the air.
"… Zombified." Zhou Rong sneered. "You've really been infected, Ms. Chen."
Zhou Rong reached out to pull her out of the wheelchair. However, Chen Yajing's action was unexpected. She slammed an extremely inconspicuous button on the armrest of the wheelchair. The next moment, the wheelchair moved back a few meters as if it had a motor!
Clang!
The door of the lounge was knocked open, and a dozen armed guards rushed out.
Wan Biao flashed in front of Chen Yajing and shouted, "Do it!"
Something unexpected happened. Zhou Rong's pupils shrank, and he flashed out of the office.
The guards chased after him, only to see Zhou Rong reach out and hook onto the top of the door frame. Using the momentum, he leaped into the air and kicked the two guards in front of him. They spat out blood on the spot and flew backward!
Bang bang!
That subordinate fell to the ground, twitching incessantly. It seemed that he would not be able to get up.
— — No one expected Zhou Rong to be so fast and so ruthless. Wan Biao cursed, "Damn it!" He raised his hand and shot!
The bullet was close to Zhou Rong's heel, and a few floor tiles flew up.
"Don't kill him!" Chen Yajing shouted.
More than a dozen guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, but they could not stop Zhou Rong at all. Anyone who came into contact with him would either have their bones broken or their heads bleeding. Almost all of them lost their combat ability within a single move.
In just a few seconds, Zhou Rong broke through the encirclement. Like an enraged lion, he flew up and gave a heavy kick to the back of one of the guards who blocked his way, sending him flying into the wall. In an instant, a large piece of wall ash was smashed!
"Stop!"
The remaining guards roared and fired, all aiming at his feet. However, Zhou Rong was not afraid at all. He almost bounced off the ground.
Like a special effects shot in a movie, he stepped on the window edge of the corridor and jumped several meters into the air. In the blink of an eye, he rushed across the corridor and was about to reach the staircase!
In the office, Wan Biao rushed to the wall and pressed the alarm button.
The sharp sound pierced through the entire building. The alarm mechanism was suddenly activated, and the iron door in front of the staircase fell down!
Zhou Rong's footsteps were blocked in front of the iron door. He immediately turned around.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
— — As far as he could see, all the exits were sealed by the iron door. The corridor connected to the office was suddenly sealed off!
Zhou Rong narrowed his eyes. He saw Wan Biao walk out of the office, throw away his handgun, and pull out another gun-shaped object from behind his back.
"It's useless, Captain Zhou."
Chen Yajing turned his wheelchair and appeared behind Wan Biao. He said softly, "Do you think I will wait for you to obediently hand over that person?
Doctor Cheng should have already succeeded. "
Zhou Rong's expression finally changed. "… What did you say?"
In the cafeteria.
"What's the Nobel Prize?" Sinan asked in surprise.
"The Nobel Prize in Biology," Doctor Cheng answered while walking. He looked around from time to time and seemed to be very alert.
"When Ning Yu was a PhD student, the team led by his supervisor was nominated once. Unfortunately, they missed the final prize.
After he returned to China, he developed a new research direction based on his supervisor's foundation. In just a few years, he made a major breakthrough and was nominated for the Nobel Prize again … Unfortunately, the virus outbreak followed, and the apocalypse came. Otherwise, according to the theory at that time, he was very likely to win the prize. "
The back door of the cafeteria was connected to a secluded path. One side of the cafeteria was the outer wall of the dormitory building, and the other side was the dense forest.
Sinan seemed to have sensed something and stopped. "What's his research direction?"
"Some … some kind of technology that uses viruses to repair genes and extend human lifespan," Doctor Cheng said in a trembling voice. "I suspect that it seems to be related to the source of the zombie virus."
The surroundings were unusually quiet. The voices of the people in the cafeteria could not be heard at all. A gentle breeze blew through the forest, making a very soft rustling sound.
Doctor Cheng took two more steps forward, but Sinan stood still, as if some kind of intuition had stopped him from moving forward.
"I … I want to say," Doctor Cheng swallowed and stammered, "maybe we can sneak into Ning Yu's laboratory and see what they're doing …"
Sinan thought for a moment and shook his head. "Let's wait for Zhou Ronghui to come. It's not easy for me to move around with you."
"But …"
"I've been out for too long," Sinan interrupted him. "The car over there is still being repaired. I'll go back and take a look."
Sinan turned around and walked back the way he came. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. "Stop!"
Sinan turned around and saw a few armed personnel from the base appear out of nowhere and quickly surround the secluded path. The biochemist named Ning Yu that Doctor Cheng mentioned was standing not far away with his hands in his hands!
Were they being followed?!
Doctor Cheng's face twitched rapidly. "Run, run!"
Everything happened so suddenly, but Sinan calmed down in an instant. Not only did he not retreat, but he also took half a step forward.
Following his movement, the encirclement immediately shrank. Several people pulled out their guns and aimed at Sinan at the same time.
Ning Yu pointed at Doctor Cheng and said coldly, "Take him away."
Doctor Cheng shouted. Sinan strode forward, and several of Ning Yu's subordinates rushed over at the same time!
"Yan — hao —!"
Sinan roared. He stepped on the wall and kicked two people away. He grabbed Doctor Cheng first and shouted, "Run!"
"Are you surprised?" Chen Yajing said calmly, "Ning Yu persuaded Doctor Cheng.
Even if you escort the person you call Sinan — actually, Noah — to the South China Sea base, the military won't have a more professional researcher than Ning Yu. "
As if a thread had suddenly been pulled out from a mess, Zhou Rong vaguely felt that some suspicious points were being connected. "Wait, who is Noah?
Escort? "
When he suspected something, his cynical expression was replaced by coldness, and the outline of his face became unusually gloomy and sharp.
Chen Yajing thought he was playing dumb, so he didn't want to explain anymore. He asked directly, "Are you wondering why I know?
Colonel Romuir came here and told me about his brother.
But I can tell you clearly that I don't trust either you or Romuir.
He's just a psychopath with twisted emotions, and you're a soldier who only wants to complete the mission and doesn't care about the overall situation. You actually want the precious experimental target to be buried in the vast South China Sea with you … "
"Romuir came to you?" Zhou Rong interrupted rudely. "What experimental target? Is it related to vaccines?!"
Chen Yajing stared at him for a moment and laughed briefly.
"Captain Zhou, why did you become a soldier? You should've won an Oscar when you entered Hollywood."
Zhou Rong realized that it was impossible to get any information from Chen Yajing.
His gaze moved to the strange-looking gun in Wan Biao's hand, and he recognized that it was actually a tranquilizer gun.
"Raise your hands and walk over slowly," Wan Biao said in a low voice. "Don't play tricks, or I'll shoot you."
Zhou Rong thought for a few seconds, raised his hand, and walked toward Wan Biao step by step.
The guards who were knocked to the ground groaned and clutched their abdomens or ribs in pain.
Zhou Rong stepped over their bodies, stared at the tranquilizer gun, and walked to the corridor window sill.
Then, something flashed in front of Wan Biao's eyes.
Zhou Rong grabbed a guard in a flash and forced him to stand in front of him. Wan Biao subconsciously pulled the trigger and shot his subordinate in the abdomen in an instant!
"Stop!" Wan Biao roared.
Zhou Rong flipped onto the window sill, smashed the glass, and jumped down from the third floor!
Chen Yajing immediately turned pale. Wan Biao ran to the window — Zhou Rong was like an eagle in the air, landed steadily, and flipped over in an instant!
"What the f * ck is this monster..." Wan Biao was shocked and angry. He stretched the tranquilizer gun out of the window and aimed at Zhou Rong, who was running wildly, and roared, "Guards!
Stop him! "
The surrounding trees rustled. Zhou Rong glanced around from the corner of his eyes and stopped in an instant.
The surrounding guards stood up and formed a tight encirclement in front of him. There were dozens of people lying in ambush!
"Goodbye, Captain Zhou," Wan Biao said coldly and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh —
The bullet pierced through the air and hit the wall close to Sinan's ear!
Sinan supported Dr. Cheng with one hand and grabbed the oncoming guard with the other. He broke the guard's elbow with a crisp crack.
The guard screamed and dropped his gun. Sinan caught him in the air and loaded the gun. He broke the ankles of the two guards on his left and right.
The blood and the painful scream aroused the other people's anger. Several other people rushed forward. In the chaos, Zhong Sinan dodged the bullets, but was kicked in the abdomen and took half a step back. He gritted his teeth and pushed Dr. Cheng, who was behind him, away.
Dr. Cheng seemed to be scared out of his wits. He staggered and stood still, looking at Sinan with hesitation.
If one looked carefully, they would be able to see that in that instant, his eyes flashed with unconcealable guilt and pain.
"Run!" Sinan shouted without turning his head. "Go to the front of the cafeteria and find Yan Hao, quick!"
"…" Dr. Cheng gasped and choked back his sobs.
Sinan turned his head. "You —"
In the blink of an eye, Doctor Zheng raised his hand and sprayed Si Nan's face.
He was hiding a bottle of medical ether spray in his palm.
Si Nan's reaction was actually very fast. He held his breath before he realized what it was.
But the evaporation rate of ether was not something he could resist by holding his breath. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and his heart sank.
He bit the tip of his tongue and dug his nails deep into his palm, but he did not feel any pain.
Bang!
The handgun fell to the ground, and all the sound and movement quickly faded away like a receding tide.
Why?
This thought flashed through Sinan Xin's mind subconsciously.
The tense delivery on the night of the zombie siege, the arduous journey to support each other, the crying Dr. Cheng with his hands full of blood and the baby in his arms, gradually faded away in his increasingly absent-minded vision, and gradually turned into a person he did not know.
"I'm … I'm sorry …"
Dr. Cheng's eyes were red with tears. He rushed forward as if he wanted to help Sinan, but he was pushed away by Sinan with the last of his strength.
Sinan turned around and staggered two steps. Every step he took felt like he was stepping on clouds. Several hands reached out from around him and grabbed him at the same time.
He no longer had the strength to break free. He knelt down on the ground and then fell to the left.
"Take him away …"
"Be quiet, quick …"
The voices were unclear and hazy, as if water had entered his ears.
Si Nan took two short breaths and tried his best to raise his hand. Relying on the blind spot created when he turned to the left, he pressed the locator on his left ear.
But that was the last consciousness he had before he fainted.
Ning Yu stepped forward, half-knelt, and gently closed Sinan's eyes.
Buzz —
Yan Hao raised his head sharply, "Sinan?"
The sun shone on the open space in front of the cafeteria, and two or three people walked by not far away.
Yan Hao pressed down on the vibrating earring and looked around. He suddenly felt uneasy. He put down the bumper that he had changed halfway and quickly walked to the bathroom behind the cafeteria.
A black vest covered in oil and dust was draped over the water pipe, but there was not even a shadow nearby.
"… Sinan," Yan Hao's voice was not very stable, "Sinan?"
The afternoon was quiet, and no one answered.
Yan Hao's heart started to beat wildly. He didn't dare to shout anymore and turned 360 degrees around.
The GPS device suddenly vibrated violently when he was facing a certain angle. Not far away, there was a bush, and behind it was a wall.
How could it be behind the wall?
Yan Hao took a few big steps back and ran with all his strength. He flipped over the two-meter-high wall and landed steadily with a whoosh!
In front of him was the edge of the base's dormitory area. Not far away, there were a few abandoned cement buildings. A secluded path was connected to the cafeteria in front of him. It meandered through the buildings and led to the depths of the base.
Yan Hao seemed to have noticed something. His gaze suddenly froze, and he strode forward.
He saw that the green belt at the end of the path was obviously trampled by many people's footsteps. The overturned grass and broken branches were still very fresh.
Yan Hao's gaze fell on the cement wall, and he was stunned. He saw that there were radial cracks at the foot of the wall. It was a bullet hole!
Yan Hao could not stop trembling. Huoran stood up, and at this moment, the GPS device stopped vibrating.
He could not believe it. He subconsciously reached out to touch his earring. The rice-sized ruby was quiet.
His internal organs suddenly felt extremely cold. Yan Hao looked around and realized that Sinan Shi was here.
— Zhou Rong told him not to let Sinan be alone in this base.
But now, Sinan Shi was here.
"… You promised me that you would never hurt his life …"
"He protected civilians and saved many people. If it were not for him, many of us would not have survived until now!"
"You can't hurt him. Anyway, you promised me!
… "
The footsteps and the sound of conversation were near and far. His consciousness was like floating in the deep sea, suddenly rising to the surface and then sinking to the bottom.
"I know." A cold and steady male voice said. This time, it was close to his ear, and every word was very clear.
"I promised you."
Sinan's eyelashes trembled violently. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes in a trance.
The light — this was his first impression.
The temperature in the room was constant and slightly cool. He was lying on a soft leather recliner.
White light surrounded the entire space. It was bright but not dazzling. But he had just woken up and could not see the surroundings clearly.
Sinan tried to move his hands and feet. Sure enough, he was handcuffed.
"…" He barely raised his eyelids. After a few seconds, his unfocused vision regained focus. He found himself in a huge laboratory. Not far in front of him was a spacious and messy test bench.
Ning Yu was sitting in an armchair with his legs crossed and his fingers crossed on his thighs. Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were calm.
Dr. Cheng was standing in the corner near the door. When he saw that he had woken up, he impulsively took two steps forward.
Sinan looked away. He did not look at Ning Yu or Dr. Cheng. His eyes fell on the side of him.
About two to three meters to his left was an operating table. On the table was a gray-skinned man with dark circles under his eyes. His whole body was tightly bound by the restraints used to control mental patients. However, he was still struggling in a daze, and from his mouth, there was an unclear sound of "Ah … Ah …".
He was infected and was turning into a fresh zombie.
Sinan looked away. His voice was hoarse because of the residue of ether. "What is this place?"
"Hello, Noah." Ning Yu opened his mouth. His tone was unexpectedly low and gentle.
"As you can see, this is my human experiment site."
