Chapter 147 Chapter 147 The fish has taken the bait! ...
The capital suddenly announced that Professor Gu Weicai, China's leading expert in virus research, had passed away due to illness.
Previously, the Capital Research Institute was bombed, and several medical experts and professors were killed. The existing vaccine and pharmaceutical raw materials were all destroyed and could not be reproduced. Professor Gu, who was originally looking for alternative ingredients, passed away suddenly. Suddenly, no one could take over the vaccine research. Faced with the zombie virus, China once again fell into a state of having no cure.
However, three days after this information was released, the capital announced again that talented people at the Shuguang Base had made a breakthrough based on Professor Gu's vaccine formula, and perhaps the vaccine could be produced again in the near future.
The news spread quickly, and even the senior executives of the Wanhua base who were living alone in the remote border area knew about it.
The vaccine in Luo Xinxin's hand was now the only antidote in China. Suddenly, more people were chasing after her, and naturally, this information was also told to her.
"God really helps us. We didn't expect that Professor Gu is dead!" Luo Xinxin's voice echoed in the room, with an excitement on her face that was hard to conceal.
She stood in a pool of blood, looking at the people on the ground twitching and spitting blood. "It's a pity that that useless Daniel didn't get any useful information out of Old Man Gu."
"The virus cells in my blood have never been able to stably erode and fission." Luo Xinxin frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of irritation. These viruses should have replicated perfectly in the host's body, forming a controllable infection to transform the human body's strength, but now only three or two people out of a hundred can survive, and the rest have exploded and died without exception.
She tried everything but still couldn't change it.
Thinking of what the leader of Wanhua Base said, who else could be in the Shuguang Base except Su Qing? There are too many special things about her. My brother once guessed that Su Qing might be the same as he was in the past. If that is true, then developing a vaccine is not a difficult task.
In this case, does Su Qing also have the ability to stabilize the virus?
She turned and walked into another room, looking at her brother lying unconscious on the bed and murmured: "We don't have much time..."
She felt a sharp pain in her body and looked down at her empty left arm. It felt like thousands of fine needles were pricking her flesh and blood from time to time at the broken part. Luo Xinxin raised her head and looked at her brother's half body on the bed, which was also charred. Her eyes were filled with sinister cruelty.
She roared at the mutant zombies standing in a row behind her, "Find her! Find her! I'm going to drain all her blood and slice off every inch of her flesh. I'm going to make her feel the pain my brother and I suffered!"
…
On the deserted road with hot currents flowing, Su Qing drove the off-road vehicle forward. She set out from Province C again, walking alone and stopping on the road in a high-profile manner, searching the surroundings.
Sometimes when she encountered a group of zombies, she would always pretend to be exhausted and run away halfway through the fight. She didn't know if there were any zombies with higher IQs among the remaining zombies who would report her whereabouts to Luo Xinxin.
For several days, as they were getting closer and closer to the Wanhua base, no mutant zombies came looking for them, and Su Qing became somewhat impatient.
"Otherwise, I'll just go straight to the Wanhua base."
Hearing Su Qing's somewhat anxious voice in the bracelet, Qin Yu calmly said, "The most taboo in fishing is not to be restless. You have to be patient."
"But if we just wait like this, we don't know when Luo Xinxin will come to us on her own initiative. What if she doesn't care about the vaccine..."
"No, it has not moved yet, and there are no large numbers of mutated zombies appearing, which means that the success rate of zombie transformation is still not high. We released the false news about Professor Gu's death, and said that someone in the Dawn Base can develop a vaccine. The zombie brothers and sisters know your special abilities, and they will probably only think of you. They will definitely find a way to capture you for research." Qin Yu analyzed.
After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Qin Yu said, "I'll apply to work with you."
Su Qing refused repeatedly after hearing this, "Don't do that. As a commander, it's against discipline to leave the battlefield! Besides, if I were really caught, I could protect myself if I were in danger, but you are just an ordinary flesh and blood person. How can you withstand the torture of those brothers and sisters? I'm afraid I can't save you."
Qin Yu smiled bitterly, "You make it sound like I'm incompetent...Xiao Qing, let me stay by your side."
Su Qing sighed and said, "The plan has been set. If one move is made, the whole body will be affected. If you leave, who knows how many people will be affected."
"Qin Yu, you advised me to keep calm. Look at how you look now. This is not like you at all." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.
Qin Yu remained silent, and could only give repeated instructions.
"Reach our defense zone as quickly as possible and wait within the designated area. We have surrounded that town. Once the target enters, you will immediately seek an opportunity to evacuate."
"If you encounter danger, get out immediately. Even if we fail this time, we still have other chances. Xiaoqing, don't take the risk."
Su Qing smiled upon hearing this and said, "Alright, alright, you've said these words many times, I remember them all. I always put myself first."
The sky outside the car window gradually darkened and turned black. She drove all the way, and there were deserted areas on both sides of the road. The uneven ground made people shake violently. The shadows of the dead trees on both sides looked like ghosts. There were often abandoned vehicles blocking the road and unable to move forward. Su Qing parked the car and walked. She walked for a long time but the road was still not clear. After it was completely dark, she simply found a deserted village nearby to stop and rest.
The village is at the foot of the mountain, with hills in front and behind. A winding path leads in, and it looks like a dead end in the night.
She climbed up the hillside, found an open space with a wide view, took out the RV, and planned to spend the night there.
The RV that Su Qing had been using before was blown up, and now this one was found for her by Qin Yu. It is a modified armored RV that looks like a heavy truck and has a larger and more open space than the previous one.
She sat at the dining table, took out the lunch box Qin Yu had prepared for her in advance, heated it up and started eating it in small bites.
After dinner, she rubbed her eyes sleepily and was about to go to sleep when she suddenly heard a noise in the mountains behind her.
"What's that outside?" she asked the system.
"Scanning...it's probably a beast."
"Beast?" Su repeated the system's words softly, but a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes. This area has been deserted for too long, even zombies are rare, so how could a living creature suddenly appear?
She walked to the car window. The moonlight outside was pale, outlining the hideous contours of the distant mountains. The rustling sound started again, like claws scraping across rocks, or like... some heavy dragging sound.
"It's not a beast." The system suddenly warned.
"An abnormal reaction has been detected. They are mutant zombies, and there are normal zombies following them."
Before he could finish his words, several black shadows rushed out of the forest like ghosts. They were taller and bigger than ordinary zombies, and they ran so fast that only afterimages were left. They soon came close, and their sharp claws smashed into the RV's armor, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
Su Qing quickly cut off the power to the RV.
Darkness fell.
She held her breath and quickly sketched the situation outside the car in her mind. Several mutant zombies surrounded the RV outside, and the ordinary zombies that fell behind also rushed over quickly, roaring and crashing into the RV.
This was by no means an accidental attack; it was clearly premeditated.
"Finally here..." She raised the corners of her lips silently, then stood on the table, opened the skylight, turned over and climbed onto the roof.
Su Qing lay quietly on the roof and observed. There were zombies everywhere, densely surrounding the RV, making it difficult to abandon the car and leave.
She got back into the car, sat in the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, started the car and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The armored RV rushed out like a steel giant, knocking away and crushing the zombies surrounding it. The heavy tires rolled over flesh and bones, causing the car to bump up and down. The windshield was instantly splashed with dark red blood, mixed with minced meat, blocking the view ahead.
The wipers started to swing automatically. Su Qing gripped the steering wheel tightly and rushed down the mountain with cold eyes.
In the rearview mirror, the mutated zombies were roaring and chasing after us.
"Host, you can evacuate to the south!" The system marked the route in her mind.
"The defense zone is just over ten kilometers away."
The RV suddenly shook violently, and something jumped onto the roof.
Su Qing's breathing became heavier and heavier. She quickly turned the steering wheel, and the RV swung back and forth in an S shape on the road. The mutant zombie grabbed a bulge on the roof tightly and did not move at all no matter how she shook it.
'Bang, bang, bang!'
There were several more consecutive attacks, and the mutant zombies were now hanging on the RV. They raised their fists and banged on the windows, trying to get into the car.
Cracks gradually appeared on the bulletproof glass, and obstacles began to appear on the road in front of Su Qing. The huge RV gradually slowed down and had difficulty moving forward.
The ordinary zombies behind also caught up at this time.
Seeing this, Su Qing unbuckled her seat belt. Without any hesitation, she suddenly opened the car door handle, protected her head with her arms, and jumped out.
"Bang!" The RV was very high, and her body slammed heavily onto the concrete road. Su Qing rolled several times on the ground, then braked. She felt a dull pain all over her body, and her palms and arms were also rubbed by the rough road surface, causing them to burn.
Su Qing panted and propped herself up, looking around quickly. The mutated zombies noticed her jumping out of the car and jumped out one after another. Their feet hit the ground, raising clouds of dust, and then they quickly ran towards Su Qing.
Su Qing's brain was racing. This place was still some distance from the ambush area, and she wasn't sure if Luo Xinxin was nearby. If she went over rashly, she would most likely be exposed...
It seems that she can only deal with these things here.
"System baby, it's up to us now!"
Su Qing pulled out a machine gun from his side, placed it on the ground, and pulled the trigger.
In an instant, the sound of bullets rang out all around.
Ordinary zombies fell down in large numbers under the suppression of machine guns, but this was not so effective against mutated zombies. Their bodies flashed quickly like ghosts and soon approached.
Su Qing simply stopped firing, stood up straight and watched them surround her.
Several mutant zombies surrounded Su Qing but did not move. They stared at her with indifference, standing stiffly like puppets.
The ordinary zombies behind them also gradually stopped moving.
Seems to be waiting for something...
Su Qing's eyes changed slightly when he saw this, and he had some guesses in his mind.
In the darkness, a child's voice with a sweet laugh rang out, "Hello again, sister."
Luo Xinxin stood in the moonlight with an innocent smile on her face. Behind her, more dark shadows gradually appeared.
Su Qing clenched his fists and felt a thin layer of sweat oozing out of his palms.
The fish is hooked.
