Chapter 305: Unexpectedly Strong Enemy
Virus vaccine?
For Shen Yao, who has been engaged in virus research, no one knows better than her what virus vaccines mean.
A look of ecstasy flashed across the girl's face, and her eyes were filled with eagerness as she looked at Qin Huai: "Really? Seventh Brother, he, he got the virus vaccine?"
Having guessed her reaction long ago, Qin Huai slung his legs over his shoulder and replied in a long, lazy voice, "Yes, Jiang Yize risked his life to protect her, so it shouldn't be false."
Chen Yao was surprised: "Professor Jiang?" Didn't Jiang Yize die in a laboratory accident when she was very young?
"Jiang Yize is not dead. He was transformed into a superpower and imprisoned in the Dongchao base." Before Shen Yao could show her surprise, he added slowly, "Oh, he is dead now."
The man's tone made the ecstatic girl feel a little wary. She suppressed her joyful expression, looked at Qin Huai, who showed no emotion, and asked in a deep voice: "Qin Huai, do you want the virus vaccine too?"
He has investigated so thoroughly, maybe he is also planning to develop a virus vaccine.
Although there is no need to worry too much with Seventh Brother around, Qin Huai is a cunning man and we have to be on guard against him.
Qin Huai shrugged: "If I wanted the virus vaccine, I would have snatched it from Jiang Ran back at the Dongchao base."
"You...you've seen Ranran at the Dongchao base?"
"Yes, I even greeted her happily." Qin Huai said, and then looked at his watch. "Well, it's getting late, you should rest."
He took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket, put it on the table, turned and walked out of the room.
Chen Yao looked at the White Rabbit candy, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately did not reach out to take it.
She had been in Yancheng Base for so many days, and Shen Yang hadn't arranged for anyone to rescue her... Had he given up on her? Or were the people he arranged to rescue her already... dead?
Not knowing what Qin Huai was planning, she didn't dare to ask him about the situation outside the Yancheng base.
In addition, the environment in Yancheng base advocates the strong and the use of force, and she has not left the house for a long time because she is worried about causing trouble for him.
As an ordinary person, it was obviously impossible for her to leave the Yancheng base by herself. Even if she left, it would be impossible for her to return to Xiling safely.
If she waits a little longer, until Qi Ge and Ran Ran return to Xiling Base, will they come to rescue her?
The girl smiled bitterly, blew out the candle, walked over to the bed and lay down.
…
It was midnight, and it was time for a shift change. Huo Lingyin turned over from the sofa, rubbed his temples, looked at the man sitting opposite him and... the girl who was sleeping soundly with her head resting on his legs, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Shift change, you should take a break."
"No need." Si Xu refused, "I'll do it for Jiang Ran."
The little girl slept soundly with her head resting on his legs, occasionally swishing her lips and mumbling a few words in her sleep.
He couldn't bear to wake her up, even though she repeatedly emphasized that she had to get up to keep watch in the second half of the night.
"No sleep all night?"
"Catch up on some sleep in the car tomorrow."
"OK." Huo Lingyin didn't bother to be polite with him. She lay down again with her back to the two of them. "I'll continue sleeping. You can work hard for a while."
"Yeah." Si Xu didn't look at her. He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl's sleeping face, and gently stroked her hair with his fingers.
Three seconds after Huo Lingyin lay down, she suddenly sat up again.
She frowned and glanced at Si Xu, and sure enough, the latter also gently helped Jiang Ran up from his legs.
"Hmm?" The sleepy little girl rubbed her eyes and asked vaguely, "Is it my turn?"
Si Xu pressed her shoulder with one hand and whispered, "Be careful, someone is coming."
The speed was very fast and they arrived at the house where they were staying in less than a minute.
Is there anyone there? Jiang Ran suddenly woke up.
She looked at Huo Lingyin, then at Si Xu: "Is it a human? Or a zombie?"
If it was a human, it was most likely Si Nian's remaining minions, or a killer arranged by the Shi family.
If it were zombies...why couldn't she hear any footsteps?
Si Xu shook his head: "I don't know."
He took out a gun from the space and handed it to Jiang Ran, then said to Huo Lingyin: "You stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
The strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, forcing him to go out and find out what was going on.
Jiang Ran obediently took the modified gun and said, "Be careful."
She felt uneasy, and after Si Xu stood up, she held the man's sleeve and tentatively suggested: "Si Xu, I'll go out with you..."
"You stay here." Before she could finish, Si Xu directly refused, "The enemy this time is a little different. Bringing you along will only hinder us."
Jiang Ran shrugged and lowered his head: "Oh."
Seeing her lifeless like a quail caught in the rain, Si Xu rubbed her hair and said, "I'll be back soon."
Before Jiang Ran could answer, he heard rapidly approaching footsteps that stopped a hundred meters away.
The man withdrew his hand and turned to walk out.
…
Huo Lingyin followed Si Xu to the door and looked out through the crack.
The moonlight was very bright tonight, and the silver light fell on the ground, making her vision clear.
However, she could not see any enemy, including Si Xu, who disappeared quickly after he walked out the door.
She called out, "Jiang Ran."
Jiang Ran was fiddling with the gun in his hand. He looked up when he heard this: "What's wrong?"
"The footsteps stopped, but I didn't hear any fighting." Huo Lingyin was puzzled. "Are they chatting?"
Jiang Ran's hearing wasn't as good as someone with special abilities. She was bewildered: "I can't hear anything. If they're really chatting, then it means they're not enemies. Si Xu will bring them back."
The fact that he didn't bring anyone back only proves that he had bad intentions.
“…That’s true.”
…
The cloaked man stopped, looked around, and kept breathing deeply, using the scent of fresh flesh and blood to locate his target.
His nostrils flared, and he suddenly stopped moving, turned his stiff body, and looked in one direction.
The young man stood on the top of a sycamore tree, looking at him coldly.
"You are..." He had never met him, but he had heard about him from Shi Yuji and knew about his special abilities. "Si Xu?"
There is no one else except Si Xu who has high-level abilities in both water and space.
"Zombies?"
Unlike those fools who were deceived by his human-like appearance and words and deeds, Si Xu recognized his true identity at a glance.
"It has evolved to this extent?"
The evolution of zombies into intelligence was indeed within their expectations, but according to the apocalyptic environment and the speed at which zombies' abilities evolved, it would take at least three years for them to evolve to such a level.
It is the end of the world year.
This is also the reason why he proposed a four-party alliance, hoping to end this disaster as soon as possible - when intelligent zombies appear, with their body functions greatly enhanced by the virus, they will face humans like humans facing monkeys.
Perhaps, that will be the true evolution of mankind, but this evolution also means that humans who have not turned into mutated zombies will become victims.
This result didn't matter to him before, but now, he doesn't want it to be like this.
"You..." The man didn't speak as fluently as a normal human, "You are really amazing."
He could recognize his identity at a glance; he was the first person he met.
