It's no exaggeration to say that the lab was a bloody dissection scene, except that what was being dissected weren't cold, stone corpses, but hideous, horrifying zombies.
All I saw was a zombie with its head cut open on the skinning table, and another one tied tightly with ropes in the corner.
The tying technique was very professional. Not only that, a silver bracelet was buckled on its wrist, so the zombie couldn't break free and could only rage helplessly.
Everything in front of him could bring deep psychological trauma to the little zombie cub.
Sangsang sobbed, wiped her tears and called the system: "Uncle... I'm scared."
Not to mention the little zombie cubs, even the system was trembling with fear. It didn't expect that the male forensic doctor Huo Shen in this article would be like a villain and so cruel.
It’s only been a few days since the apocalypse, and he’s already gone wild enough to skin the zombies.
He calmed his mind and soothed softly:
[Sangsang, be good. Don't be afraid. You are Sang Chi's sister. You should know that your brother is the second male lead.]
[This stinky brother Huo Shen won't do anything to you, but you should remember to stay away from him.]
As the male protagonist, he is smart and sharp. Sangsang has been in contact with Huo Shen for a long time, and the system is really worried that he has discovered her identity as a zombie cub.
Sangsang's little hands tightly grasped the corner of Lu Ziting's clothes, and nodded with a red nose.
"Don't be afraid, Sangsang, we have our brothers here," Lu Ziting said, being rough but attentive. Noticing that Sangsang was trembling with fear, he quickly bent down and held her in his arms, gently touching her head with his big hands.
Sangsang buried herself in Lu Ziting's warm embrace, not daring to look at the bloody scene in the laboratory.
"Brother, who do you think did this?" Lu Ziting was puzzled, but couldn't help but sigh, "He dared to skin the zombies, he must be a ruthless person."
Lu Ziyun replied: "It's so professional, I guess it was the work of the forensic doctor in the institute."
Pei Yu nodded, and he destroyed the door lock of the laboratory in the same way. The noise made the zombies in the corner even more angry, and they roared continuously, making their ears hurt.
Pei Yu nailed a hole in its forehead without saying a word.
Lu Ziting looked at the fallen zombie, then glanced at the guy with his skull opened on the disembowelment table, and began to mutter, "You are finally free. I wish you a speedy ascent to paradise. Don't be a zombie in your next life. Be a human being..."
Lu Ziyun couldn't bear to watch his brother's sudden mental breakdown.
He carefully observed the laboratory and found a hidden small door on the wall. He walked to Pei Yu and pointed, "There is a small door in front. This laboratory is a suite."
After saying that, Lu Ziyun stepped forward, turned the handle, and with a "click", the door opened without being locked.
He pushed the door open cautiously and saw a young man lying on the floor with his eyes closed, his life or death unknown.
Lu Ziyun carefully scanned his body and found no wounds on his exposed skin, which did not seem like he had been bitten.
But having learned from the previous incident of the old lady in the corridor turning into a zombie, he did not rush forward.
"Could this person on the ground be the forensic doctor who dissected the zombies?" Lu Ziyun touched his chin.
Pei Yu will never forget the appearance of Huo Shen, who helped him.
But when he first saw Huo Shen, he didn't expect him to be lying unconscious on the ground. Pei Yu was puzzled, wondering if he was injured, but it didn't seem like it.
The two men stood in front of Huo Shen, each thinking about something in their mind, but neither of them reached out to see what was going on with him. They were like bystanders who liked to watch the fun.
It was Lu Ziting who brought Sangsang into the house and saw this scene.
He pushed aside the two people who were joining in the "fun", reached out and probed under the nose of the "injured person", and concluded: "This handsome guy is not dead, he is still breathing."
After saying that, Lu Ziting scratched his head and continued: "His breathing is so steady, I think he is lying on the ground because he is asleep?"
Pei Yu: ...
Lu Ziyun: ...
There was a moment of awkwardness in the air, and as he spoke, the young man on the ground opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes.
Lu Ziting was right. Huo Shen was lying on the ground because he fell asleep.
After all, skinning a zombie is a physical job, and in order to learn more about the internal structure of the body after a living person becomes a zombie, he records data day and night.
In addition, Huo Shen can't eat much food, so his energy is not enough and his consumption is high.
So after recording today's data, he was so tired and sleepy that he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, he saw several strangers surrounding him. His eyelids twitched in fright, he frowned, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Huo Shen's face was pale and he looked a little frail, but even that didn't affect his outstanding appearance at all. He was like a dormant cheetah, full of wild beauty. No wonder they said that all the handsome ones were handed over to the country.
Lu Ziting helped him up and explained, "We came in to look for supplies."
"Are you here at the police station to look for supplies?" Huo Shen curled his lips and said, "I'm looking for guns and ammunition."
His tone was steady and his words were affirmative.
Lu Ziting nodded calmly with sparkling eyes, thinking that he was smart as expected of someone who was paid by the government.
"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions," Lu Ziyun said, fearing that he would misunderstand.
Huo Shen hummed lightly and looked at Sangsang who was hiding behind Lu Ziting and sticking her head out, "I believe you."
The little girl with her hair in a bun was delicate, pretty and full of spirit. She was blinking her big watery eyes and looking at him with curiosity.
She was even prettier than some of the child stars that Huo Shen had seen on TV.
But when the end of the world comes, the ones who will be most held back are the elderly, the weak, women and children. However, these people are willing to take her with them, which shows that they have good hearts.
When Sangsang met Huo Shen's gaze, she quickly retracted her head like a frightened kitten and whispered to the system in fear: "Uncle, he is looking at me. Does he want to open my head?"
【……】
No, Huo Shen is the male protagonist after all, he is not so cruel.
The system said softly: [Sangsang, stay calm. Don't panic. As long as your zombie cub identity isn't exposed, he won't do anything to you.]
Sangsang blinked and nodded obediently.
Seeing Huo Shen's frail face, Lu Ziyun felt in his pocket but couldn't find anything to eat.
Thinking of the snacks in Sangsang's rabbit backpack, he waved to her and said softly, "Sangsang, this big brother is very weak now. Can you give him some of the snacks in your backpack?"
Although Sangsang was afraid of Huo Shen, she couldn't bear to see him look so weak.
She nodded, put down the bunny schoolbag and handed it to Lu Ziyun, "Brother gives it to you~".
Lu Ziyun smiled and rubbed Sangsang's head: "Thank you, Sangsang, I will fill your schoolbag later."
He unzipped it and found three high-calorie chocolate bars and two bags of purple rice bread inside. He handed them over and said, "Eat something first to replenish your energy."
Huo Shen didn't bother to be polite. He thanked him, took it and started eating.
He was obviously hungry and ate very quickly, but he ate in a very beautiful way.
After eating, he felt stronger. He stood up and leaned against the wall and said straight to the point: "Just ask if you have anything you want to know."
"Did you dissect the zombies in the lab?" Lu Ziyun said.
Although I already have the answer in my mind, I still need to confirm it in the end.
"Well, I'm a forensic doctor in the institute," Huo Shen did not hide it, "I want to study the body and brain structure of zombies after mutation."
"Did you find anything?" Lu Ziting asked curiously.
Huo Shen walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a notebook, and pinched his eyebrows:
"There has been little progress so far. We have only discovered that although the zombies' brains have shrunk and died, there seems to be a strange energy supply inside that allows the zombies to move and enjoy eating flesh and blood."
That's it... you still call it little progress?
"You are too modest," Lu Ziting, who majored in art in college, bowed directly. He admired him very much, "Is this a cultured person?"
Sangsang tugged at the corner of Lu Ziting's clothes and asked curiously, "Brother, what is a cultured person?"
"Knowledge is power, and it means powerful and capable people." Lu Ziting touched her little face and replied seriously.
Her big watery eyes lit up, she puffed out her little chest and said in a baby voice, "Then Sangsang must also become a cultured person~".
The system knows that Sangsang doesn't even have a kindergarten education, but no matter what he lacks, he must attend classes and study.
So he planned to wait for Sangsang and Sangchi to reunite before the main characters formed a preliminary team.
As a reward, I ordered a cub learning gift package for her in the system mall to fulfill the little one’s dream of becoming an educated person!
Listening to Huo Shen's words, Pei Yu looked at him.
After learning about the end of the world, he has been doing research on zombies and drugs to suppress the zombie virus.
But, unfortunately, he didn't live to see the day when Huo Shen developed the inhibitory drug.
"Are you planning to stay in the laboratory and do research?" Pei Yu pursed his lips, with no extra emotion on his face. "The zombies you tied up outside have been killed by me."
"If you plan to stay here, I can go and catch another one."
For Pei Yu, catching zombies is as easy as eating and drinking.
Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziting knew that he was that strong, so they looked calm. Huo Shen was stunned for a moment.
He raised his eyes and looked at the handsome black-haired boy who was speaking, then lowered his gaze to rest on the crossbow in his hand.
The sharp steel crossbow exudes a cold metallic luster.
Huo Shen shook his head and said, "I won't stay. Due to the lack of experimental equipment, I won't be able to make any new progress even if I stay."
"Where are you going next?" Huo Shen asked.
Lu Ziyun looked at Sangsang and said, "I plan to go to Beijing Institute of Technology to find the little guy's brother."
Huo Shen nodded, thinking that the laboratory in the university should be able to meet his needs for further research.
"Are you willing to take me with you?" Huo Shen looked calm, but at this moment his handsome and wild face showed extraordinary aggressiveness and confidence, very cool and very safe, "I won't hold you back."
No one would refuse the "cultured man" Ho Sun's initiative to join, and everyone agreed.
Lu Ziyun rubbed Sangsang's soft hair, looked at Huo Shen, and said softly: "Sangsang, this forensic doctor brother is with us."
Huo Shen noticed the little girl's fear of him, so he walked over and squatted in front of her.
He stretched out his big, broad hand, looked serious and focused, and talked to her as if he was talking to an adult: "Sangsang, my name is Huo Shen, please give me your guidance in the future."
Sangsang's eyelashes trembled, and she stretched out her carrot-like little hand to shake hands with Huo Shen. She whispered, "Welcome, big brother."
"Thank you, Sangsang," Huo Shen smiled, then turned to look at Lu Ziyun and the others, "Have you found where the armory in the police station is? If not, let's go there now."
