Undead
Chapter 64
Half an hour later, inside the military helicopter.
"The people have been evacuated to the dock. Headquarters has been notified to send boats to pick them up. Three special forces from Secret Unit 118 were also rescued. They belong to the 6th Squadron. Their names are …"
"I know."
Tang Hao interrupted his subordinate's report through the headset and glanced behind him. In the dim cabin, a strong silhouette sat on the ground, holding the head of the person in his arms.
He snorted and said, "I have two members of 118 here too. There's also a major."
Tang Hao took off his headset and motioned for his subordinate to continue flying. He turned around and walked towards the cabin amidst the slight bumps in the flight.
Zhou Rong leaned against the cabin wall and closed his eyes slightly to rest. His thick eyebrows and straight nose were illuminated by the light, and the outline of his muscles could be seen under his blood-stained military uniform shirt.
Si Nan, who was in his arms, had been treated in an emergency manner. Si Nan was inhaling oxygen in a daze. The military doctor was pushing out the last drop of medicine in the needle. Seeing Tang Hao coming over, he stood up and saluted.
"What is it?"
"It's a sedative with an inhibitory effect.
Otherwise, if there's too much bleeding, the omega pheromones will cause a riot among the soldiers. "
Tang Hao nodded and motioned for the military doctor to leave.
"How's the situation?" Zhou Rong opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.
Tang Hao retracted his foot that was about to kick Zhou Rong and said condescendingly, "This is beyond your authority, Major."
Zhou Rong did not take it seriously. "Then how are my people?"
Tang Hao clicked his tongue and lifted his trousers. He squatted on the ground and looked straight into Zhou Rong's bloodshot eyes.
"You said that your people from 118," he asked, seemingly very interested, "Why are all of you as tough as cockroaches?"
Zhou Rong said lightly, "Because those who aren't tough enough are already dead.
I have the ashes of a member in my bag. He died when he went deep into the B Military Region's underground laboratory. Should I show them to you? "
Tang Hao was suddenly moved. "You went to the B Military Region's underground laboratory?!"
Zhou Rong lazily raised one of his eyebrows.
"What did you find?
Why did the B Military Region fall?
Did you find any information?! "
"That's beyond your authority," Zhou Rong said. "Middle … school."
Tang Hao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Three seconds later, he opened his eyes and said, "Let's make a deal, Captain Zhou.
You answer one of my questions, and I'll answer one of yours. It's a fair trade. Do you accept? "
Zhou Rong looked at him with interest.
"The defense of the survivor base was breached by the zombies. Fortunately, our armed helicopters arrived in time and provided cover fire. Most of the people were evacuated. The warships will soon sail to the port to pick them up.
For the time being, we can't count the survivors, but your three team members, Cymbidium Annuum, Guo Weixiang, and Ding Shi, have all been rescued and placed on another plane. "
Suddenly, a tired voice came from the side. "Where's Chen Yajing?"
Tang Hao turned his head and saw Ning Yu sitting up despite the military doctor's attempts to stop him.
"You're talking about the disabled female Omega?" Tang Hao thought for a moment and shrugged. "Unfortunately, she's not a Omega.
When the zombies attacked the base gate, our people arrived just in time. They threw a rope from the helicopter to save her, but she didn't grab it … It happened too fast. We didn't have time to send people to pull her up. "
Ning Yu didn't seem to understand and asked again, "She's dead?"
"She's dead."
There were still many soldiers in the cabin, but no one moved or spoke except for the loud sound of the propellers.
Ning Yu seemed to be frozen, but it was hard to see his expression in such a dim light. After a while, he seemed to smile briefly.
"… I guess so."
Ning Yu lay back down and turned over on the stretcher with his back facing them.
Tang Hao looked at him for a moment and only felt that he was slightly familiar. He seemed to have seen him on the military's list of important search and rescue targets.
But after the fierce battle, everyone's appearance was not much different from a ghost. The cabin was dark, so he couldn't see anything for a while.
Tang Hao retracted his gaze and raised his chin. "It's your turn, Captain Zhou."
Zhou Rong was puzzled. "What's my turn?"
"… Answer the question."
"What question?"
Tang Hao took a deep breath again. "What did you see in the fallen underground military region?
What did you find?
Did you find any information or research results? "
Zhou Rong leaned back. This action hid half of his face in the shadow, but there was a glimmer of evil in the corner of his eyes. "We went deep into the military region last October. Hasn't the headquarters sent anyone to investigate since winter?"
Tang Haosheng said firmly, "No."
"No?"
"… They're all dead."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Rong slowly raised the corner of his mouth. "Then, you can also treat me as dead.
A dead man won't tell you any secrets beyond your authority, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel. "
Tang Hao was furious. "You!"
Zhou Rong gave him a sharp and provocative look.
The atmosphere in the narrow space became tense. The soldiers looked at each other secretly. Yan Hao quietly moved to Zhou Rong.
In the focus of all eyes, Zhou Rongyi put one hand on his knee and the other arm around Sinan. He and Tang Hao looked at each other casually.
"…" After more than ten long seconds, Tang Hao finally forced himself to relax his fists and whispered, "I organized a suicide squad to enter B City."
"But B City has become a complete hell.
The zombie tide south swept every corner. Tens of millions of zombies filled every tall building, every sewer, and every underground bunker you can think of.
The virus continued to mutate and began to infect animals. Zombie cats, dogs, and birds occupied the entire city. All the teams that ventured into B City never returned, not to mention the tomb-like underground military region. It has completely become a black hole in human cognition. "
"If you really entered the B Military Region, anything you saw or took out would be very precious information, and you would immediately be fully protected."
"But if you're just using this method to deceive people after being infected, then Captain Zhou, I promise you won't live until the plane lands."
Tang Hao stared at Zhou Rong's pupils, and said slowly and sternly, "I won't bring any infected people back to the headquarters, not even suspected of being infected. Do you understand?"
The plane swayed from side to side. After a long time, Zhou Rong said without any emotion, "I said we're not infected."
Tang Hao sneered and looked up and down at the wounds all over his body with a mocking gaze. He meant, 'Who are you kidding?'
Zhou Rong said, "If you don't believe me, then forget it."
"…" Tang Hao tried to inhale for the third time, but failed.
Tang Hao got up with a whoosh and strode to the pilot's seat. Without looking back, he ordered the soldiers, "Keep an eye on those two 118!
Once there are any signs of illness, kill them without mercy! "
"Yes!"
Zhou Rong said just in time, "Ha."
That laughter stimulated Lieutenant Colonel Tang Hao's sensitive nerves even more. He scolded without thinking, "Pull that Omega from his hands!
Isolate it immediately!
Don't let it get infected and harm people! "
The soldiers responded and stepped forward to pull the Sinan from Zhou Rong's arms.
But before they could do anything, their arms suddenly tightened, and the bones in their wrists made a terrible creaking sound.
The soldiers didn't have time to cry out in pain. They were in so much pain that they couldn't speak. They looked up and saw that the veins on the back of Zhou Rong's hand were bulging, like a beast trap made of steel. But in sharp contrast, his expression was smiling, and that smile even had a somewhat frivolous attitude.
"That's not very good, is it, Lieutenant Colonel?"
He laughed loudly. Everyone in the cabin could clearly hear his slightly mocking voice, "This is my wife. Why do you want to steal my wife for no reason?"
Tang Hao, "…"
Tang Hao stood still and trembled slightly. His face alternated between green and red as if he had opened a dyehouse. After a long while, he suddenly burst out with a roar, "Zhou Rong!
I think you're f * cking infected with rabies! "
The helicopter flew through the sea of clouds, across the dark sea, and swooped down to a brightly lit aircraft carrier behind layers of thick fog.
Before the helicopter came to a stop, the cabin door was suddenly pulled open.
Chun Cao's army green short skirt fluttered in the wind as she rushed over. "Brother Rong!"
Zhou Rong got out of the helicopter under close surveillance, leaned over, and kissed Sinan's cold, snow-white forehead. He personally carried him onto the medical stretcher that had been waiting for him.
Then he turned around and hugged Chun Cao. Yan Hao also jumped out of the cabin door and hugged Ding Shi and Guo Weixiang, who had survived the disaster. Their eyes were red.
The deck was full of people. The paramedics and security personnel hurried to and fro. The distant searchlights on the sea emitted a dazzling light.
Suddenly, a scream came from not far away. "Doctor Ning!"
Several researchers in white coats rushed over and scrambled to hold Ning Yu's hand. They were all overjoyed.
Ning Yu was already very weak and could only barely stand up with the help of others. The researchers hurriedly lifted her onto a stretcher and sent her away. They were like stars surrounding the moon, as if they were escorting a national treasure panda that had descended from the sky.
"The research institute has been looking for Doctor Ning for a long time. We've searched for him several times, but we couldn't find him. We thought he was dead." A middle-aged scholar wearing glasses held Tang Hao's hand and said excitedly, "You found Doctor Ning?
You've really made a great contribution. We have to report your contribution to our superiors immediately! "
Tang Hao was helpless and impatient. "It has nothing to do with me. I don't even know who he is.
Go and ask that guy surnamed Zhou over there … "
"Several special forces soldiers from 118 Sixth Squadron took me out of the laboratory and sent me to the helicopter platform on the roof." Ning Yu's extremely weak voice came from the crowd with the wind. He seemed to have suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right.
The Omega and 118 Captain Zhou that you sent away just now are both important test subjects for me … Yes, yes, help me write a report and apply for it. You must wait for me to arrange it personally. Don't let anyone do it without permission. "
Tang Hao almost choked. Zhou Rong couldn't help but smile.
"Captain Zhou." An old voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Ronghui turned his head. Behind him stood an old man with gray hair, a straight posture, and two stars on his shoulders.
Zhou Rong's expression was slightly serious. He turned around and stood at attention.
Yan Hao, Chun Cao, and the others who were gathered in a circle to ask each other about the situation after they separated were also stunned. They turned around and saluted. "Lieutenant General Zheng!"
No one expected the lieutenant general to come to the deck in person. Even Tang Hao, who was not far away, couldn't help but change his expression and salute.
Lieutenant General Zheng's sharp eyes looked up and down at Zhou Rong. His gaze paused for two seconds at the purple-black bite wound on the side of his neck that had not completely faded. Zhou Ronggang wanted to explain, but he raised his hand to stop him.
"On October 26, 2019, at 00: 08 Beijing time, you are Major Zhou Rong who brought the last five special forces members and a civilian volunteer into the B Military Region Research Institute?"
Zhou Rong said, "Yes."
"'God does not care for mankind. We will finish our journey ourselves.' Before the military region completely fell, you were also the one who sent the last satellite communication to the South Sea Headquarters?"
"Yes."
Lieutenant General Zheng nodded and didn't say anything. He glanced at the dust-covered faces of Chun Cao, Yan Hao, Ding Shi, and Guo Weixiang one by one. After a while, he said in a low voice, "You are missing a member, Captain Zhou."
Zhou Rong patted the tactical bag on his right shoulder and answered calmly, "Lieutenant Zhang Yingjie is here. He is not missing."
Lieutenant General Zheng slowly raised his hand and saluted Zhou Rong.
"Major General Qian, the person in charge of Secret Unit 118, and Commander Liu have both died. Eight squadrons have been destroyed one after another. You are the last survivors.
Captain Zhou, Unit 118 has been disbanded. "
Zhou Rong suddenly closed his eyes. There was silence behind him for a long time. Only the sound of the wind could be heard.
Lieutenant General Zheng seemed to want to find something to comfort them, but he couldn't say anything. After a while, he nodded and said, "I hope you can pull yourself together."
Then he took the initiative to shake everyone's hand. He turned around and said briefly, "Tell the medical team to wait in my office.
Captain Zhou, bring your people and come with me. We urgently need to know everything you have experienced during this time. "
Zhou Rong looked back in the direction where the Sinan stretcher had been carried away. However, the rescue team left very quickly. On the deck of the aircraft carrier, there were only people and vehicles shuttling back and forth nervously. The high beam lights shone through the gaps in the crowd.
He narrowed his eyes and didn't want to leave for a long time. Finally, under Chun Cao's uneasy urging, he followed.
"… Doctor Ning has already reported to the higher-ups …"
"His serum … an important experimental subject …"
The deliberately suppressed sound of walking and talking was like a shadow slowly floating in the deep water, slowly seeping into the drowsy dream.
"Why did that pretty boy surnamed Yan also come here?
Weren't they called by Lieutenant General Zheng for questioning? "A familiar male voice asked, seemingly suppressing his dissatisfaction.
"Zhou couldn't leave himself, so he sent him to watch over …"
In the intensive care unit, Sinan frowned in pain. After a while, he finally let out a vague groan. He tried his best to raise his chin back, deeply pressing it into the white soft pillow.
The voices around him stopped abruptly. Everyone stared at the man on the hospital bed with bright eyes.
The snow-white gauze covered his eyes, but it couldn't hide the handsome lines of the lower half of his face.
The quilt on the hospital bed covered his waist. His naked upper body was scarred. Countless bite marks were black, purple, blue, and red, and horrifying blood seeped out from the bandages.
However, the broken body, from the shoulders, collarbones, chest, and slightly concave abdomen, every delicate texture and smooth detail of the skin showed the beauty of having experienced life and death.
After a while, the blue veins on Sinan's arms bulged, and he struggled to raise his left hand.
Why can't I see?
Where am I?
Before anyone could stop him, Sinan's next action was to grab the infusion tube on his right arm and pull it out with gritted teeth!
"Stop!"
"Doctor, doctor!"
The ward was filled with people. Sinan pulled out the needle on the side of his neck with force. He didn't care about the blood spurting out, and then tore off the gauze covering his eyes.
Tang Hao stood up and shouted, "Stop him!"
The doctor rushed over, but before he could steady himself, he felt a sharp pain in his throat.
Under everyone's gaze, Sinan, who couldn't see at all, strangled his neck with lightning precision!
"Let go!" Tang Hao stepped forward quickly. "That's a doctor. This is the military base!
You're safe! "
Sinan easily dragged the speechless doctor in front of him. He slightly adjusted the angle of his pale face, as if he was "looking" at everyone around him through the gauze.
His movements were very subtle, but his calm face seemed to exude wisps of cold air, making everyone feel as if ice and snow were blowing on their faces.
"… Calm down."
Tang Hao forced himself to stop and said calmly, "This is the South Sea Military Base. We saved you.
The doctor said that there's a blood clot in your skull that's pressing on your optic nerve. You can't use your eyes for a while. After a few days, the blood clot will dissipate, and you'll be able to — "
Sinan's fingers tightened slightly.
Tang Hao's voice stopped abruptly. The doctor's face turned from red to purple in an instant, and his feet kicked the side of the bed desperately.
Everyone in the ward was frozen and silent. Someone silently pulled out his gun, but was immediately stopped by a stern look from Tang Hao.
"I've heard your voice before," Sinan suddenly said slowly in the unbearable silence.
Tang Hao was stunned, then replied, "… Yes, we've met before."
Sinan said, "Who are you?"
It was obviously a question, but his tone was calm, without any fluctuations.
"I'm the Lieutenant Colonel of the South Sea Military Base Search and Rescue Battalion, Tang Hao."
When Tang Hao spoke again, his voice had been adjusted. He had received negotiation training in the international peacekeeping force, so his voice was calm and restrained, and did not give the other party too much pressure.
"We've met in T City. My people were ordered to search for Omega and escort them to the refuge. At that time, there was a misunderstanding with you.
But that's in the past. You're safe now. Please let go of the doctor. "
The doctor's struggle gradually weakened. His eyes rolled up, and Sinan's strong fingers suddenly loosened.
Fresh oxygen poured into the doctor's lungs, and he coughed silently.
"Where's Zhou Rong?" Sinan "stared" at Tang Hao and asked.
"…"
"Where's Yan Hao?
Where are Chun Cao, Ding Shi, and Guo Weixiang? "
"The Sixth Squadron has its own mission …"
Sinan interrupted him, "Zhou Rong is not here. I'm not safe."
Just like in T City, Tang Hao knew that he was once again confronted with this extremely difficult Omega.
Although he knew that the other party could not see, Tang Hao still stared at the eyes covered by the white gauze, as if he could directly look into the other party's elusive brain. "Major Zhou Rong has a lot of important information that must be reported to his superiors immediately. He can't come here to see you.
The Institute of the General Directorate for Strategic Studies has issued a special document. Your serum is of vital importance to the development of an antidote vaccine. Please calm down and cooperate with our work. "
Sinan pondered for a moment, and the corners of his lips, which were almost bloodless, curved slightly and said, "I'm not cooperating."
Tang Hao, "…"
"Bring Zhou Rong to me." Sinan's tone carried a sense of command that he was accustomed to. "Immediately."
"Lieutenant Colonel." Someone in the ward whispered, "This Omega has been Major Zhou …"
Tang Hao knew what he was hinting at.
Once the mark was formed, the Alpha's mental control over the Omega may be very strong. Some of the Omega's overly dependent words and actions were sometimes not completely autonomous.
Tang Hao rubbed his manhood hard. After a moment, he let out a long sigh and frowned. "Major Zhou Rong is not here. I'm sorry, I can't meet your request.
Moreover, with all due respect, I don't know under what circumstances your mark was formed, but even if there is a trace of reluctance in it, you can remove the mark with the assistance of the military through surgery … "
Sinan sneered, "Shut up."
Tang Hao felt like he was being f * cked. He could only pinch the bridge of his nose hard.
No one could guess what the precious Omega in front of them was thinking, but everyone knew that Zhou Rong was in a very delicate situation.
Zhou Rong must clearly explain how he met Sinan and was marked. If the central government suspected that he used inducement or even coercion to mark Sinan while knowing that he had antibodies, that would be a very, very serious problem.
If this Omega had come to the military base at the beginning of the virus outbreak, he would be the only one with antibodies. With Zhou Rong's level, he might not even be qualified to talk to him directly.
"Bring Zhou Rong here." Si Nanping said calmly, "I'll give you five minutes."
Tang Hao's heart was full of grievances and he had nowhere to go.
Unit 118 used to be the blue army in every exercise and beat the whole army up. Who knew how much hatred had accumulated in the field forces of several major military regions.
Now that Unit 118 was gone, that Zhou Rong could still find another way to continue to draw hatred. Did he kill someone's entire family in his previous life?!
"Lieutenant Colonel …" The deputy battalion commander couldn't help but give him a look.
Tang Hao's index finger tapped twice in the air. He could only use this action to vent his irritation. He casually scolded, "Wipe your head!
What are you waiting for? Can't you see that you can't do it?
Go, go, go, invite in that pretty boy named Yan sent by Zhou Rong! "
