Undead
Chapter 70
The General Staff of the Military Commission.
In the large and spacious conference room, Romuir slowly leaned back in his armchair and glanced at the armed guards guarding the four corners of the room. "Is this how you treat your partners?"
The generals did not answer. Lieutenant General Zheng said coldly, "I don't remember us talking about cooperation, Colonel Romuir.
I'd rather talk about your subordinates deliberately murdering the precious antibody carrier. When I came in just now, the research institute was not sure if the carrier's life was in danger … "
"No," Romuir said.
The generals looked up at the same time. Romuir smiled and said, "Cigarettes."
After a moment of silence, Lieutenant General Zheng was about to explode, but a female lieutenant colonel stopped him with a look. She got up and personally handed a pack of cigarettes and a lighter to Romuir.
She looked to be in her early thirties. Her expression was serious and her eyes were sharp. Romuir glanced at her curvaceous figure. "Thank you, madam. You're very beautiful.
What's your name? "
"Jin Hua, Hua as in China," the female lieutenant colonel said coldly. "You're also a very attractive man, Colonel Romuir.
But since it's the end of the world, please be honest and put away those worthless tricks. "
Romuir was speechless.
Lieutenant Colonel Jin Hua did not answer. He turned around and walked back to the long table.
Romuir seemed to find it very interesting and laughed.
"Don't be nervous, Noah Chong … the person you call Sinan. Unless his limbs are mutilated or he's beheaded, his life will not be in danger so easily."
He lit a cigarette and smiled. "But if he wakes up, please inform me immediately. After all, he's my brother …"
"He's one of our Colonel Zhou's men," Lieutenant General Zheng interrupted.
Romuir blew out a puff of smoke. From the perspective of the generals at the head of the long table, his profile was hidden in the white smoke of nicotine. His outline was hazy and unclear.
After a while, the smoke dissipated and he said calmly, "I want him back."
"Noah Chong is my stepmother's son. He's the White Eagle's instructor and is under the supervision of our intelligence department."
After a pause, Romuir repeated, "I can give you the secondary antibody, but I want to take Noah Chong with me."
With a click, the door was pushed open. Zhou Rong's lazy voice sounded from behind. "Yo, brother-in-law!"
Romuir immediately gripped the armrest, his muscles and bones protruding under his sleeves.
Lieutenant General Zheng said helplessly, "What are you doing here, Colonel Zhou?"
Zhou Rong walked behind the long table and pulled out a chair, completely ignoring Romuir's suddenly ugly expression. He casually crossed his long legs and took out a steel lighter from his trouser pocket. "118 once received a classified mission."
There was no sound in the meeting room. Everyone was cautiously silent.
"A military VIP who has defected from Country A is trying to contact our country with important supplies. His code name is Z.
118 was sent to protect his safety, but because of the plane crash after the outbreak of the virus, this person's whereabouts are unknown. The important supplies that were marked as top secret were also lost. "
"As the sixth squadron that carried out the mission, after we met the Sinan in T City, we found that he had lost his memory for unknown reasons. His behavior and the fact that he carried antibodies are highly consistent with our mission target Z."
Zhou Rong looked around and said slowly, "Therefore, we have sufficient reason to suspect that the Sinan was the person who carried the crucial information and took the initiative to meet up with us."
Lieutenant General Zheng was just about to speak when Romuir interrupted, "So what?"
"Nothing."
Zhou Rongyi said seriously, "I just want to tell you that we have a rule. We will not use any asylum seeker who takes the initiative to come to us for political exchange. Thank you."
Lieutenant General Zheng: "…"
Lieutenant General Zheng finally understood Zhou Rong's meaning. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and covered his eyes.
"It's impossible for you to use Noah Chong to cultivate a vaccine!"
Romuir's calm negotiating posture finally couldn't be maintained. He said impatiently, "The antibodies he carries are not suitable for most people. How can your military research institute not understand such an obvious fact?"
Jin Hua coughed. He waited for the attention of the leaders to focus on him before he said implicitly, "According to the scientists' report, our research institute believes that the Sinan serum is still effective."
Zhou Rong narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed a little confused. Lieutenant General Zheng whispered, "Lieutenant Colonel Jin Hua is responsible for the communication between the military and the research institute. He is now in charge of the daily affairs of the research institute."
Zhou Rong nodded silently.
Romuir asked, "If he is really effective, why did the Pan Duola virus outbreak in Florida?"
Jin Hua immediately retorted, "You finally admit that the zombie virus came from your country's laboratory, Mr. Romuir?"
The female Lieutenant Colonel's question was quite sharp, but Romuir didn't even bother to respond, "The deadly infectious virus is controlled within the coastline. Only when it breaks out in all the continents at the same time can it spread globally.
In fact, in the past 20 years, all the countries have been doing similar research. Our country is just a little faster thanks to Dr. Alisa Ferman. "
Jin Hua said, "If you guys weren't a little faster than that fatal step …"
"The greed for life is the real reason why mankind is heading towards the end of the world."
Romuir said politely, "But right now, I don't want to have any ethical arguments with you, madam.
Our country is willing to use the developed secondary antibodies in exchange for Noah Chong. Do you accept the deal?
Please give me an answer now. "
Everyone looked at each other. Jin Hua was suddenly at a loss for words.
Zhou Rong played with the metal lighter. The lid made a crisp sound as it opened and closed. After a while, he said faintly, "I don't accept."
Romuir completely ignored him, "Secondary antibodies can not only quickly cure the virus infection, but also have the most important effect of Noah Chong's rapid recovery. There is no point in you holding people captive."
The several leaders looked at each other. Only Jin Hua thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "But according to the research institute's report, we think it is possible to develop an ultimate vaccine that can be popularized to all the people …"
Romuir held the cigarette and smiled slightly.
If one only looked at his appearance, his high birth, good upbringing, and more than ten years of military career made him very attractive. But that was only if one ignored the undisguised mockery in his eyes, "May I ask who submitted this report?"
Jin Hua was silent.
"Ten years ago, a scientist named Ning Yu from the White Eagle Base laboratory disappeared. All signs indicate that he may have escaped back to his home country.
After the incident, the White Eagle Base updated all the surveillance measures, but the pursuit of Dr. Ning Yu has never been successful. We once believed that he was dead. "
Romuir leaned forward slightly and pointed to the report under Jin Hua's hand. He smiled and said, "If this was submitted to you by Dr. Ning Yu, please don't believe a word of it.
The White Eagle Base has hundreds of top scientists like Ning Yu. If the so-called ultimate vaccine really exists, then they would have mass-produced it ten years ago and sold it together with Coca-Cola and condoms. "
Jin Hua, "…"
There was silence all around. The air in the conference room seemed to have suddenly turned into a suffocating gel.
Lieutenant General Zheng picked up the teacup and drank some water. He slowly asked, "Then why does your country still want antibody carriers?"
A strange smile suddenly appeared in Romuir's blue eyes. "Why?"
He seemed to be recalling some delicious food with the tip of his tongue. When he spoke again, he had a look of dissatisfaction.
"Twenty years ago, Noah Chong was six years old. He came to me as my younger brother in the legal sense.
Ten years later, his mother hanged herself and our relationship was dissolved. He became my future spouse and obtained the right to move freely in the White Eagle Base as an Omega. "
"Now you're asking me why I still want antibody carriers … Do you really want to hear me tell you in detail why?
It's not appropriate to say it out loud. "
Zhou Rong suddenly stood up and stepped forward. Before anyone could stop him, he had already grabbed Romuir by the collar and punched him in the face!
Romuir spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle and fought back fiercely. The two instantly wrestled into a ball and crashed into the solid wood armchair.
The loud noise echoed in the empty conference room. Lieutenant General Zheng and the others' expressions changed. They all stood up and shouted to stop the fight. The guards ran over and forcibly pulled the two apart.
"If there's a day when vaccines and condoms are really sold together," Romuir grabbed Zhou Rong's collar in the midst of the chaos and said maliciously in his ear, "I'll buy the vaccines and throw away the condoms. I'll never use those things again …"
Zhou Rong suddenly broke free from the guards' clamps. Like a tiger out of its cage, he threw a punch at Romuir and knocked him to the ground!
"Pull them apart!
Isolate them separately! "An old general decisively ordered," That's all for today. Dismissed! "
"The Pan Duola virus is invincible. The level two antibody is already the limit of what humans can do."
Romuir staggered to his feet and wiped the blood from his cheeks and mouth. He said hoarsely, "The final result of the disaster must be the evolution of the human race. Only the best genes can be passed down … The White Eagle Army has regained control of the laboratory in Florida. You will soon hear news from Country A."
Zhou Rong stared at him with eyes full of hostility. The muscles on his cheeks were tense.
Romuir sneered and left in a huff.
"Colonel Zhou!"
Outside the office building, the crowd dispersed. Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the sudden incident just now. It was as if Romuir's broken molar was his own doing.
Zhou Rong was walking down the stairs when he suddenly heard a shout behind him. He looked back and saw Jin Hua striding towards him with a report.
"I heard that the antibody carrier had a conflict with the people brought by Romuir. He fainted and was sent to the institute …"
Zhou Rong replied in a distant and polite manner, "He has a name, Lieutenant Colonel. His surname is not 'antibody', but 'carrier'."
"Sorry," Jin Hua said immediately, "Dr. Ning Yu told me that his name is Sinan."
Zhou Rong nodded and said nothing.
Jin Hua adjusted his tone, "Then how is his condition now?"
Zhou Rong said, "Very good."
"Is that so? I guessed so. Although the immediate report submitted by Dr. Ning said that his life might be in danger."
The female Lieutenant Colonel breathed a sigh of relief, "But I thought that if the situation was really like this, you wouldn't appear at the meeting of the Military Commission.
So when I saw you appear just now, I knew that there was probably no problem. "
Zhou Rong's cold and tense face finally eased a little, and he said, "Oh."
"Are you going to the institute?" Jin Hua took the initiative to invite him, "I'm going to find Dr. Ning. Let's go together?"
Zhou Rong looked at her for a moment, and finally made a "please" gesture in a gentlemanly manner.
"Then, I rushed up and gave her a fierce shoulder throw. She was so dizzy that she could only hug my leg and beg for mercy. If I did it again, kaka kaka!
Bang!
Bang!
Da da da da … "
The intensive care observation room had become a sea of joy. Chun Cao, whose shoulder was wrapped in bandages, stood on the hospital bed with bare feet, valiantly and valiantly. She repeated her heroic deed of beating up the b * tch of A Country for the eighteenth time.
Sinan, who was supposed to be resting in bed, sat cross-legged by the window, wearing a loose hospital gown. His thin wrists and ankles were exposed from the cuffs and trousers, and he was leisurely rocking the recliner.
Yan Hao laughed, "An hour ago, there was no machine gun in her version …"
"You're so naive," Guo Weixiang took a bite of an apple and said, "Give her another half an hour and she will evolve into a single-person rocket launcher!"
Chun Cao: "Da da da da da …"
Sinan was inexplicably sleepy, and his eyelids were particularly heavy. But it was only evening, and he hadn't even eaten dinner, so it wasn't time for him to sleep.
"Are you still there?"
Ding Shi pushed the door open and said with a sad face, "It's no use. The doctor said that it's a psychological factor and prescribed two sedatives for me … Can you see that my eyelids are still twitching?"
Guo Weixiang pulled his ears and carefully observed for a while, "I can't tell.
Dude, you haven't cleaned your eyes and washed your face this morning, right? "
"Maybe you're going to make a fortune."
Yan Hao comforted him, "Captain picked up money every time his eyelids twitched. The most he picked up was 200 yuan, and he took us to play skewers … Which one did you pick up? Left eye or right eye?"
"Both sides —!" Ding Shi said sadly.
Yan Hao: "…"
Ding Shi sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his eyes. He was unexpectedly kicked by Chun Cao, and he almost staggered and flew out.
"Then I said, 'Next time you come, I'll beat you up so badly that even your mother won't recognize you!'
That old b * tch rolled and crawled away. Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
— — "
Yan Hao lifted Chun Cao off the bed and knocked on her head, which was particularly messy because of the shaved hair. "Okay, let's go!
Si Xiaonan is going to sleep! "
Sinan suddenly opened his eyes. In the next second, he felt as if his head was hit by an invisible hammer. His mind was spinning and his vision was turning black. He heard himself subconsciously saying,
"Don't go, I'm not going to sleep.
… "
Several people were pushing and shoving each other toward the door. Yan Hao inadvertently glanced at them and suddenly seemed to find something wrong, "Sinan?"
"… Sinan?" Yan Hao stepped forward.
Sinan raised one hand to support his forehead. He seemed to be a little irritated and rubbed it hard a few times, "… Give me some water."
His voice was very weak, and if one listened carefully, it seemed to be trembling a little.
The cold water was placed on the bedside. Yan Hao turned around to get it, but he saw Sinan reach out to take the cup. It was as if he couldn't focus, and his hand brushed past the side of the cup.
Yan Hao's heart sank. He half-knelt down and grabbed Sinan's hand to stop him from covering his face, "Wait, what's wrong with you?"
Sinan struggled to free his hand, but Yan Hao suddenly shouted, "Xiangzi!
Go next door and find Ning — — "
"Thank you, I'll consider your suggestion."
Zhou Rong pushed the door open and walked in. He turned around and said, "About the hearing of the General Staff Department next Monday …"
Ding Shi stood in front of the door. He looked past Zhou Rong and suddenly froze.
Jin Hua: "…"
Three seconds of eerie silence.
Guo Weixiang's eyes fell on the female lieutenant colonel's epaulet. He covered his mouth with his hand and asked, "Did the village belle get promoted again?"
Chun Cao complained in a low voice, "I told you not to encourage Da Ding's hopeless one-sided love …"
"Gold …" Ding Shi's heart raced. His face immediately turned red. "… Little Gold Flower!"
Zhou Rong stood at attention and turned around. In the next second, Ding Shi had already brushed past him and rushed out the door. In a daze, everyone felt as if they were looking at a 1.85 meter tall golden retriever who was constantly panting.
Jin Hua: "I'm glad to see you too … No!
Lieutenant!
Keep your distance! "
The female lieutenant colonel's face turned red. She grabbed Ding Shi's collar with one hand and dragged him all the way to the office at the end of the corridor. The golden retriever's tail was still happily sweeping back and forth on the floor.
Zhou Rong waved goodbye as if he was sending off a bride. He sighed with mixed feelings. He turned around and knocked hard on Chun Cao's head, "What are you doing here instead of staying in the ward?"
Before Chun Cao could talk back to her father, Yan Hao suddenly shouted from the ward, "Brother Rong!"
For some reason, he sounded quite uneasy. He said, "Brother Rong, Sinan, he … You'd better come over and take a look."
Zhou Rong didn't know what was going on. He walked over and saw Sinan leaning against the recliner. He had fallen asleep with his head tilted.
The afterglow of the sea passed through the window and sprinkled on his peaceful sleeping face. His bloodless cheeks seemed to be dyed with golden red.
At first glance, the scene looked normal, but Zhou Rong's expression changed slightly. Yan Hao put his index finger on Sinan's nose. After a few seconds, he began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Call Doctor Ning … Call the doctor here. Sinan, he … he fainted!"
