Undead
Chapter 73
The soldiers had already been instructed by Tang Hao to act as if they did not see anything. They stood silently not far away with their guns in hand.
Romuir looked at Sinan for a moment and suddenly laughed. "I know too little about you."
Sinan did not say a word.
"Although we grew up together … No, it should be said that we grew up in the same house, I deliberately ignored your existence before I went to university. Later on, when I wanted to recall what you were like when you were a teenager, I didn't have any clear impression."
Romuir seemed to find it interesting and said, "I never knew that you were such a dedicated and persistent person when it came to relationships."
Sinan asked, "Is it strange?"
Romuir said, "It's not strange. It's just that you're very similar to your mother.
The power of blood is really powerful. "
The plane moved slowly on the runway, making a loud roar.
Romuir and Sinan stood opposite each other, only a step apart. The wind on the South Sea passed through the ocean currents and the aircraft carrier, whistling as it rushed between the two of them.
"I'm leaving."
Romuir asked, "You didn't come here in person to show off to me how dedicated and persistent you are when it comes to relationships, did you?"
Sinan said coldly, "Where was my mother buried in the end?"
Romuir was a little surprised, but then he laughed. "I thought you didn't care about this at all. You didn't even go to her funeral."
Sinan stood with his arms crossed and did not answer.
Romuir asked back, "Where do you think I would bury her?"
"…"
"Because of your mother, I used to hate Omega.
This creature is like … how should I put it, the singing of the mermaids on the surface of the sea. It's beautiful, mellow, and full of fatal temptation. Even though they know that following the sound is a dead end, they can still attract countless clear-headed and strong-willed Alpha. Like idiots, they throw themselves forward one after another and willingly become the vassals of this weak creature. "
Sinan asked, "Are you talking about your father?"
Romuir did not mind the mockery in his words at all.
"So when I was in my teens, I was determined to find a Beta as a future partner when I grew up, so as not to repeat my father's ridiculous tragedy."
"But according to your plan of using secondary antibodies to screen for superior humans, I'm afraid the Beta gene is on the list of extinct!" Sinan said lightly.
"I changed my mind after I saw you at the White Eagle Base."
Romuir shrugged. "But it doesn't matter if it doesn't change. Do you think it will affect my political views?"
Sinan shook his head.
"So when your mother died," continued Romuir, "my father was so grief-stricken that he never recovered.
He buried her in the family graveyard, hoping to be buried with her a hundred years later … "
Sinan said, "But I didn't find her tombstone in your family cemetery."
"Yes," said Romuir. "That is because when my father died I removed her and buried my mother in it."
If Romuir's next words were "I burned her" or "I fed her to the dogs," the Sinan would not let him board the plane unarmed today.
However, that was not what he said next. Instead, he looked at Sinan and smiled. "Guess where she was moved to?"
"…" Sinan narrowed his eyes.
"Hey!" The pilot ran over from the tarmac and pointed at his watch. "It's time!
Hey —! "
The soldier behind him moved uneasily.
"Why are you so nervous?" Romuir said casually. "I thought the relationship between you and your mother was very thin."
Sinan asked softly, enunciating each word, "Where did you move her?"
Romuir raised his eyebrows and did not answer. Sinan finally grabbed him by the collar. "You …"
"The public cemetery," Romuir smiled.
Sinan's strong fingers finally loosened a little. Romuir stared at his pupils, which were particularly light in the night, turning from amber to honey, and said, "Thank me. This is the only good thing I've done for you since I fell in love with you."
Sinan snorted mockingly, let go of him, and walked back.
"Hey!" Romuir suddenly turned back and said loudly, "Do you want to know where your father was buried?"
The pilot ran over and the soldier motioned for him to leave, but Romuir stood still.
Sinan walked through the airport in the night, his back to everyone. His low voice carried no emotion in the wind. "I know where he is. I've already seen him."
The helicopter rose slowly, and dust was blown in all directions by the whirlwind.
Sinan stopped. The red light in the night flashed and disappeared. Zhou Rong was sitting by the railing with a cigarette in his mouth. He smiled and held out his hands to him.
Sinan stepped forward and placed his hand on Romuir's palm. Their hands touched, and he sighed silently.
"I thought you were here to kill him," Zhou Rong laughed. "I was wondering if I should stop you."
Sinan said, "If I really wanted to kill him, you wouldn't be able to stop me, right?"
This was true. When Sinan went crazy, it was difficult to stop him unless he was killed.
He thought for a moment and explained, "But Romuir didn't get the ultimate antibody. He won't have a good time when he goes back. It doesn't matter if I kill him or not."
Zhou Rong grabbed Sinan's hands and pulled him between his thighs. He pressed against him and asked, "Hmm?"
"The White Eagle Base developed an antibody sample suitable for most people before the virus went out of control. But before the project was completed, the incomplete vaccine was frozen.
Under Romuir's lobbying, several powerful and historical families decided to take the ultimate antibody in their own hands. At the same time, they promoted a secondary antibody that was only suitable for a small number of people with excellent genes. "
"With this method, power and land could be expanded rapidly. It was even enough to establish an indestructible autocratic kingdom in the apocalypse."
"…" Zhou Rong nodded silently. "So you took the initiative to contact Deputy Minister Guo and stole the ultimate antibody sample under the condition of completing the vaccine research?"
Sinan said, "Something like that.
But in fact … it wasn't stealing. It was originally mine. "
Zhou Rong could almost guess what was going on, but he didn't interrupt. He just looked at him quietly.
"Although capable countries are doing virus experiments, the Pan Duola virus was ultimately formed by my mother. She regretted it very much. After marrying Romuir's father … she had been doing vaccine-related research, but no one knows exactly how far she had progressed."
Sinan took a breath of the cold night air and said, "Her expertise in this field is very advanced. Maybe my father's death gave her a lot of motivation and inspiration."
Zhou Rong listened silently. Sinan said self-deprecatingly, "Whether it is science or art, the pain of death is always one of the ways to burst out inspiration."
"And then?" Zhou Rong asked softly.
"After she hanged herself, she left me a letter, but I never opened it.
I didn't even go to her funeral … "
Sinan was silent for a long time. Zhou Rong thought he wouldn't continue, but after a moment, he calmly admitted, "I didn't dare to go."
"… Why?"
Si Nan had probably never talked so much to anyone in his life. He pondered for a long time, as if he was trying his best to organize his words to describe his secret, obscure, and unknown past. Finally, he said, "For several years, I hated her a little."
"I hated her for torturing my father's body, for researching the Pan Duola virus, and for using me as an experimental subject to conduct a series of antibody tests."
He paused for a moment and said, "Later, probably because of the bottleneck in the vaccine research, her mental state slowly became abnormal. She always had the illusion that my father was not dead, and even went back to continue researching the Pan Duola virus …"
Sinan closed his eyes, and the unbearable memories of those years appeared in his mind. The gray and gorgeous manor, and the sky that seemed to always be hazy with a bloody vortex faintly appearing above his head.
"I broke her illusion."
Sinan opened his eyes and continued in a terrifyingly calm tone, "She couldn't bear it, and after leaving a letter, she committed suicide."
Only then did Zhou Rong realize how many indescribable complex feelings were hidden in the words "I don't dare to go".
"When did you open the suicide letter?" he asked in a low voice.
"A few years later," Sinan said, "I don't remember the specific date.
When I saw the letter, I realized that the vaccine research had made critical progress, but when I went to ask Romuir, he said that the project had been frozen … "
"So I thought, since the Pan Duola virus was originally caused by my mother, then I also have the responsibility to deliver the vaccine."
After he finished speaking, he smiled.
It was a very slight and tired smile, and if one didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to detect it.
But from the smile, Zhou Rong saw the figure of a person who jumped from a height of 30,000 feet, fell to the edge of a cliff and was bitten awake by zombies, and staggered out of the valley step by step when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, holding on to his last breath to call for help.
Zhou Rong sat down and held Sinan's hand, their palms clasped together. Zhou Rong squeezed Sinan tightly in his arms with his strong thighs and asked in a low voice, "When you came to contact Minister Guo, why did you trust 118 so much?"
Sinan looked up at the dark night sky above the island. After a while, he smiled and said, "Although you had forgotten me at the time … after my mother died, who else could I trust other than you?"
Zhou Rong reached out and pressed Sinan's neck, gently pulled his face to himself, and planted a long and lingering kiss on his cold and soft lips.
On the other side of the tarmac, the high beam lights pierced through the vast night, casting their entwined figures into the distance.
After a long time, Zhou Rong picked Sinan up horizontally, put his arm around his neck, and walked to the dormitory on the other side of the island.
"What are you laughing at?" Sinan asked in a low voice.
Zhou Rong said, "I was thinking about what Romuir said about you in the restaurant …"
"You used a spoon to stab everyone to death?"
Zhou Rong lowered his head, and Sinan's face was pressed against the side of his neck. From his angle, he could only see the corners of Sinan's mouth raised. "It's true."
"But it doesn't seem like you."
Sinan asked back, "How do you know what kind of person I am?"
Zhou Rong thought for a moment and smiled. "If you can stop on the street surrounded by zombies and take the initiative to rescue a group of strangers trapped in the parking lot, I can almost tell what kind of person you are!"
Sinan's smile widened. "Well, I think I can take credit for this for the rest of my life … Hey!"
Zhou Rong laughed and slapped him hard on the butt.
Zhou Rong didn't ask, as if he didn't think it was a big deal.
They walked along the long road through the parking area. On both sides of the road, there was a wasteland covered with withered grass that stretched into the night. The street lights in the distance flickered faintly. Sinan's lips were pressed against Zhou Rong's warm and soft neck. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he suddenly said softly, "Because there was a drug in the food we ate."
"Hmm?"
"After I went to get the water, I came back and took a bite, and I found that it tasted wrong.
No matter who put the drug in the food, I gave them a chance to leave. Those who didn't want to leave must be accomplices. "
"Ah …" Zhou Rong nodded. "That makes sense."
"White Eagle Base is not a very good place," Sinan said. "If someone has to die, I just want to make sure that it's not me."
Zhou Rong repeated, "That makes sense." There was a slight smile in his voice.
The air on the island was fresh and the stars were bright. The sound of the rising tide came from afar.
With their backs to the sea, they walked toward the dormitory where the lights were gradually going out. Their backs gradually blended into the warm monsoon wind in the southernmost part of the motherland.
"After the disaster is over, let's dig up your father and burn him."
"Where should we put his ashes?"
Zhou Rong said, "Bury him with your mother!
My brother-in-law's parents are buried together, and so are our parents.
We can't compete with each other! "
Sinan laughed and almost fell out of Zhou Rong's arms. He agreed, "Okay!"
