Chapter 72

The office was silent.

Wu Zeyue was still sitting there, her hands clasped together and her expression cold, while Lou Tiannan, standing opposite her, had a calm face, his deep brows slightly drooping, making it impossible to tell what other emotions he had.

"Does this concern the entire federation?" Lou Tiannan asked back.

"Yes." Wu Zeyue's eyes were firm.

Lou Tiannan took a step forward and asked, "Where is the rescue that Team One requested when they were on a mission on July 8th, three months ago?"

"Where is the rescue that assisted our three teams in completing their mission ten days ago?"

"Where was the Federation when my teammates were in danger?"

"Why would you ask my teammate, whose life or death is unknown, to provide anything for your scientific research?"

Lou Tiannan's voice was very low, like the sea surface before a storm, containing huge waves.

Wu Zeyue looked at him and said, "Lou Tiannan, you should understand that some sacrifices are unavoidable in the overall situation."

Lou Tiannan's tone became increasingly cold: "So, in your eyes, we are just pawns that can be sacrificed at any time?"

Lou Tiannan walked up to Wu Zeyue step by step, looking into her eyes without avoiding her.

Wu Zeyue remained calm and said, "You are the Federation's defense line. This is your duty."

——From now on, we join the federal military defense. We are the most important line of defense of the federation. The federal military defense will never retreat!

The vows of the past echoed in my ears, and the office fell silent again, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

After a long pause, Lou Tiannan chuckled and said to Wu Zeyue, "Bringing the original blood vaccine to you is my last mission for the Federation."

After saying this, he turned and walked out the door.

"Lou Tiannan!"

The office was filled with the harsh sound of chair legs scraping against the ground.

"Have you thought it through?"

The black military boots stopped in place. Lou Tiannan did not look back or speak. After a few breaths, he raised his feet again.

Wu Zeyue stood behind the desk, watching the office door open and Lou Tiannan stand still. In front of him was He Yan, the federal army commander who was almost as tall as him.

Lou Tiannan reached out to take off his epaulettes, handed them to the federal commander, saluted, and left the office.

Behind him, Wu Zeyue's fingers, wearing white gloves, were trembling slightly under the table.

…

Claire in Aurora Church also learned that Lou Tiannan brought three potions back to the Federation.

"Lou Tiannan brought back three vaccines."

"The conversation between the chief and Lou Tiannan was very unpleasant. Lou Tiannan took off the federal epaulettes on the spot and gave them to He Yan."

Even though there were only Wu Zeyue and Lou Tiannan in the federal office at that time, Claire still knew the details of their conversation.

"Bishop, what about the vaccine?" Claire's confidant asked anxiously.

"Let them take it. Our medicine is almost ready. A vaccine without a primer is just an ordinary antibiotic."

Cook and his team did not intercept them halfway, and let Lou Tiannan bring the vaccine into the Federation and hand it over to Wu Zeyue personally. It would be impossible for them to tamper with the vaccine. However, what's the use? It's just a vaccine with incomplete efficacy and can't pose any threat to him.

Claire didn't care. In his eyes, the Federation was like a piece of cake. The only person he cared about was Lou Tiannan, a brave, resourceful, and loyal federal soldier.

As long as he is involved in friendship, this person has the biggest weakness. The people under Lou Tiannan are all his weaknesses. In Claire's eyes, they are not to be feared.

He was more concerned about Him in the observation room.

That thing told him that He was about to wake up, but so many days had passed and all His data had not changed.

Claire traced the shape of the giant cocoon with his fingertips through the glass wall. His eyes were filled with enthusiasm. He murmured, "It's been a year. You've slept long enough..."

…

Outside the glass wall of the research institute, Wu Zeyue stared at the vaccine being sent in.

Under Xiao Hehua's rigorous style, the Federation's pharmaceutical research level is very high. As soon as the end of the world came, Xiao Hehua allowed them to preserve the entire set of equipment and brought back most of the skilled scientific researchers.

Three vaccines, one is blocked, one is for sampling, and one is for research.

Within a day, a 1:1 replica of the original blood vaccine will be born.

But without the second dose of vaccine, can this save ordinary people in the end times?

Someone stood behind Wu Zeyue. It was He Yan, the commander of the Federation Army. If you looked closely, you would find that his features bore a strong resemblance to Lou Tiannan. He whispered, "Captain, he's left the safe zone."

"Do you think he can do it?" There was a rare hint of uncertainty in Wu Zeyue's tone.

"Yes." He Yan replied.

"You really have confidence in your son." Wu Zeyue sighed, "I hope so."

From the moment Aurora rose silently from the apocalypse, Wu Zeyue was wary of Aurora, and his cooperation with Aurora was only superficial.

However, Wu Zeyue, who had been in a high position for a long time, eventually ignored the temptation that hope and protection brought to the masses in the end times.

This temptation is like a refreshing rain after a long drought. It is huge and irresistible to ordinary people.

Just a rumor that no one had any basis for, an Enigma that was only spread by word of mouth, allowed Aurora to rise up in the end times, and the people's hearts turned to Aurora at a speed that Wu Zeyue never expected.

In one year, Aurora's power grew rapidly and became an existence that the Federation could not shake. It would be fine if Aurora was really a church that was at peace with the world, but during a visit, He Yan accidentally discovered that something was wrong with the Aurora Church.

But with the current capabilities of the Federation, even if it discovers it, it can do nothing. Most of the families of the psychics in the Federation are believers of Aurora. Once the two sides become enemies, war is inevitable. But Wu Zeyue knows that if a war breaks out, the Federation will be defeated.

Now that the original blood vaccine has been obtained, perhaps Aurora's influence can be reduced a little. We can only hope that everything goes well for Lou Tiannan.

…

Lou Tiannan entered the federal security zone alone with a box of original blood vaccine. When he came out, in the interlayer of his combat uniform were detailed drawings of the Aurora Church and a thumb-sized communicator.

There was a Federal Army logo on the communicator. It was a communicator with an extremely high command level. When he handed the original blood vaccine box to Wu Zeyue and both of their hands pressed on the box at the same time, Wu Zeyue passed it to him from under his gloves.

She tapped her knuckles and succinctly told him that there were surveillance cameras in the office, and used a different conversation code to tell him that Aurora was planning a rebellion and he needed to stop it.

Only then did he realize that the crisis of the Federation had reached such an urgent level.

When he came out, he met his father. By chance of passing by him, he took the blueprint with the help of his epaulettes. He walked straight out of the safe zone without stopping and without changing his expression.

He came out of the federal chief's office with a gloomy face, and no one dared to search him.

In other words, no one dared to approach him easily.

When they reached the entrance of the safe zone, the captain of a guard detachment wanted to stop him, but retreated timidly under his gaze.

After leaving the safe zone, he walked very fast, took several detours, and used the shelter of houses to sneak back to the air-raid shelter.

When the people in the air-raid shelter saw Lou Tiannan coming back, they all surrounded him.

Lou Tiannan was overjoyed to see that Zhu Liang not only woke up but also awakened his special abilities.

Zhu Liang asked him, "What is the current situation of the Federation?"

"Not good." Lou Tiannan shook his head. He briefly talked about the situation in the Federal Security Zone. Everyone looked a little heavy after listening to it.

"We have a new mission." Lou Tiannan said in a deep voice.

Baichuan covered his ears and leaned towards Lin Bai. He didn't want to listen to the Federation's nonsense. He would not get involved in what others did.

Before the green hair touched Lin Bai, Lou Tiannan grabbed the back of the collar and dragged him to Zhu Liang's side.

Bai Chuan's eyes widened, and he shook his collar, very dissatisfied: "Captain Lou, what are you doing?!"

Lou Tiannan looked normal: "I'm in a meeting now."

Bai Chuan was about to ask what the meeting had to do with him, but when he looked up and caught Lin Bai's gaze, he angrily fell silent.

Lou Tiannan briefly explained the relationship between the Federation and Aurora.

After listening to Lou Tiannan's words, Tang Mali said, "It's easy to figure out what good the Federation can gain from cooperating with that ghost cult. It's even worse than the red sand that Bai Chuan and I created!"

Tang Mary sat on the chair she had folded with her supernatural power, wearing a new Chinese-style dress, still wearing the same pair of high heels on her feet, with her hair tied up. When she didn't speak, she was an elegant lady, but once she opened her mouth, she had an inexplicable bandit-like air.

Bai Chuan echoed, "That's right! Ah Bai, the East Fifth District doesn't look peaceful. Why don't you come back to Hongsha with us?"

"Oh! Yes! This is fine!" Tang Mary felt that Baichuan finally made a useful suggestion. Vera was not safe here anyway.

But to their surprise, Lin Bai sternly rejected the proposal: "The Federation is in danger right now. How can we, as citizens of the Federation, desert the battlefield?! Moreover, my partner was most likely infected by Aurora's zombies at the research institute. If that's the case, Aurora is the real murderer of my partner. I want to find Aurora to avenge my partner!"

To others, this last sentence only made them feel that Lin Bai was deeply in love with his partner.

Only Baichuan and Elena, who knew that Lin Bai was a bionic man, understood that Lin Bai was going to Aurora.

Neither of them was stupid. After thinking carefully about Lin Bai's words, Elena was the first to realize that Mi Xing was indeed trapped in Aurora.

Baichuan was a step slower and also realized that the boss must be in Aurora.

Although Tang Mary only had a vague understanding of what Lin Bai meant, she also understood the central meaning of Lin Bai's words, that Vera was going to Aurora.

In that case—

"Lin Bai, what you said makes sense! I am also a member of the Federation after all! How can I let those evil cults that believe in gods and ghosts ride on my head!" Tang Mary changed her tone very quickly. In an instant, it seemed as if she had never mentioned the red sand incident. She no longer looked like she had nothing to do with it.

Elena said gently, "When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. I must do my part!"

Bai Chuan also said, "If Aurora isn't eliminated, countless more people will surely be deceived by them! If Aurora really raises a zombie king, we're doomed! We must stop them!"

Zhou Yu and the others were stunned by the change in Tang Mali and Bai Chuan's expressions, and even Lou Tiannan was confused.

Xiya also climbed into Lin Bai's arms: "Mom, I want to go with you too!"
