Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Is it the leader of the zombies?
"Can you put away the laser net first? We can open it when needed."
"Once the external defense system is activated, it cannot be shut down until the energy is exhausted."
Su Qing was too lazy to curse this wicked system. She took out the injection that suppressed the zombie virus and handed it to Fang Qing, saying softly, "Now's the time to get someone to treat the wounded. Those injured by the zombies should be given injections and sent to the research institute under Professor Gu's quarantine and observation."
Fang Qing nodded, took the things, and used the headset to contact the medical team downstairs in the city to ask them to send people up quickly.
Su Qing turned around and stared at the telescope with a tense expression, praying in his heart that the zombie swarm would retreat...
Time passed by minute by minute, and the two sides returned to the stalemate just now. Everyone on the city wall stared at the zombie horde on the opposite side nervously. Just when there was only one minute left and the laser net was about to fail, Su Qing's prayer came true and the zombie horde outside began to gradually leave.
As the zombies retreated, Su Qing once again saw the pale-skinned zombie she had seen before through the telescope. It stood against the zombie horde and looked into her eyes as if it had sensed something.
The zombie's blood-red eyes flashed with bloodthirsty madness. It curled its lips slightly and slowly raised its hand to wave at Su Qing, then turned around and left, hiding in the zombie group.
Su Qing stared at this scene in a daze, and then he realized that this attack was controlled by it!
Perhaps this was just a test, it was assessing the strength of the Dawn Base, and its retreat now was only for a stronger counterattack next time.
This zombie probably possesses human intelligence and can command other zombies... So, is it the leader of the zombies?
She could feel that there would be a deadly battle between zombies and humans!
Seeing that the zombies had completely retreated... Su Qing felt deflated and his whole body went limp. He wanted to kneel down and cry. What should he do...
However, as the leader of the base, she still had to save face. She held onto the city wall and took a few deep breaths to adjust herself.
"Are you okay?" Fang Qing walked over and looked at Su Qing, whose face was pale, with some concern.
Su Qing didn't even have the strength to speak, he just waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"The zombies are retreating! We are saved!"
"Great! The zombie horde has retreated!"
"Liang Zheng!"
"Commander Liang, are you okay?"
When Su Qing heard the voice, she looked up and saw a group of people surrounding Commander Qin and his men. She quickly stood up and walked over quickly, and then saw Liang Zheng sitting on the ground with a pale face, leaning against the city wall.
"Liang Zheng, if I hadn't discovered you, would you still be holding on?" Li Song squatted beside Liang Zheng and said as he picked up a dagger and cut open the sleeve of his arm that was stained with blood.
Several hideous wounds were exposed, and as the clothes were torn open, dark red blood gushed out. It was obvious that the wounds were scratched by zombies.
Liang Zheng glanced at the wound and smiled faintly, "It's just a scratch, it's nothing serious."
"Being injured by zombies is not something to be taken lightly!" Qin Tianjiang reprimanded softly with a heavy expression on his face.
Fang Qing took out an injection and walked forward quickly. "This is the injection developed by Professor Gu to inhibit the zombie virus, but its specific effectiveness is still unknown." As she spoke, she slowly injected the medicine above Liang Zheng's wound.
Afterwards, the medical team gave Liang Zheng a simple treatment and bandaged his wound.
"Come quickly, some people, take Chief Liang to the research institute."
The wounded on the city wall were quickly sent away, and the remaining uninjured people cleaned up the battlefield.
Fearing that the zombies would attack again, Commander Qin did not leave for the time being. He redeployed the personnel guarding the four walls and two gates of the base, and then dispatched a lot of weapons and equipment.
Qin Tianjiang looked at the corpses strewn across the ground outside and frowned. "It's too hot right now. The bodies outside need to be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent the spread of disease and viruses."
Su Qing calculated the number of protective suits from the base's supplies and replied, "The base has limited protective suits. If we rely on manpower to clean it up, it will probably take ten days to half a month."
"How about burning it first and then cleaning it up?" Fang Qing thought of the fire that had just set the zombies on fire.
Qin Tianjiang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a solution."
"Chief Su can find a helicopter to pick up the fuel and drop it at low altitude."
Su Qing's eyes lit up when she heard that. Yes, using a helicopter can save manpower and material resources to the greatest extent. She quickly asked Fang Qing to arrange someone to handle it.
Because he was always thinking about the injured people, and seeing that everything was fine for the time being, Su Qing persuaded Commander Qin to go down and have a rest. Seeing that everything was arranged here, Qin Tianjiang asked Su Qing to take him to the research institute.
Su Qing saw the worry on Commander Qin's face and knew that he was also concerned about the wounded. He led a group of people to the research institute by car quickly.
Apart from the people patrolling along the way, there are very few ordinary people in the base. Occasionally, there are a few people walking hurriedly as if there would be danger if they slowed down.
It seems that this zombie siege has scared the people in the base...
Arriving at the research institute, Su Qing entered the password to open the door, and then a loud noise came out. The room was crowded with people in white coats. Many people tied up on the beds were quickly pushed away by these doctors, and nurses pushing medical equipment carts were running around in each room.
"Please make way."
A cart piled high with blood-stained gauze quickly passed in front of Su Qing.
"Hurry, room 6 needs alcohol and gauze."
"Room 19, get some adrenaline!"
"The guy in room 34 is dying, guards! Hold him down! We can't let him get up, guards, come quickly!"
More than a minute later.
"Bang!" The sound of gunfire rang out throughout the research institute. Everyone in the hall paused for a moment, and then became busy again.
When Su Qing heard the gunshot, her heart trembled. She quickly ran to the door of Room 34. The people standing at the door made way for her, and the situation inside the room appeared in Su Qing's eyes.
A soldier in military uniform was tied to the bed. There was a bloody hole in the center of his forehead from which black blood was slowly flowing. She looked carefully and saw that the man's wide-open eyes were cloudy and white, and his skin was grayish white. The clothes on his chest were cut open, revealing a torn wound.
"He... the injection is ineffective?" Su Qing stared at the corpse in a daze, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke.
A doctor standing nearby explained to Su Qing, "The success rate of the injection in blocking the zombie virus is about 50%. Unfortunately, he didn't make it."
"Push the body to Professor Gu."
Su Qing watched as the people in front of her pushed the bed away. Someone came in to clean the room, and someone came over to hold her cold hand. "Su Qing, are you okay?"
Su Qing saw that it was Fang Qing and shook her head. "I'm fine. Let's go find Professor Gu."
"Rope, bring me a rope!"
"Tranquilizer! Get a sedative!"
"ah!!!"
"Hold on! Don't give up!"
I could hear shouts from other rooms and cries of pain.
"Why do you look so bad? Are you hurt?"
Lu Chen's voice brought Su Qing back to her senses. She looked around and saw that Fang Qing had already pulled her to Professor Gu's laboratory.
The surroundings were filled with familiar people, including Gu Yan, Zeng Li, Li Yi, etc. Su Qing's face looked really ugly when she came over, and they all looked at her with some worry.
She shook her head slowly, "I'm fine. How's Chief Liang?"
Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed to a room opposite, "Still observing."
Su Qing looked in the direction he pointed. All the military personnel were standing in that room. She saw Commander Qin, Chief Li, and Qin Yu talking around Liang Zheng's bed.
"What about you? Are you hurt?"
"Don't worry, big sister, we are all fine. The mutant zombies are all at the main city gate, and the ones surrounding us are just ordinary zombies. If they hadn't relied on their numbers, we wouldn't be in such a mess."
Su Qing looked at the few people carefully and saw that apart from being a little dirty and messy, they did not seem to have any injuries.
"How's the situation here?"
Lu Chen sighed, "It's not good. Over a hundred people have been sent here, and more than thirty have died. The effect of the injection is not as great as we thought."
"My father is leading people in there to study the latest samples. They've found a new breakthrough." Gu Yan has always been with Professor Gu and is more aware of the latest information. "I believe they can develop a new drug soon."
"But time waits for no one..." Su Qing was inexplicably anxious. Ever since she met the zombie leader, she had been restless, always feeling that it would come back soon. The current situation of the base could not withstand another zombie attack.
Zeng Li came to Su Qing and comforted her, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The situation is much better now than before. In the past, the zombie virus was unsolvable. Now we still have at least half a chance. Give Professor Gu and the others some time. They will definitely be able to solve this virus!"
Su Qing knew that it was useless to be anxious about the virus now, so she should think of ways to deal with the zombie siege that might happen later.
"Tell Professor Gu that if you need anything for your research on the medicine, just tell me and I will find a way to solve it." Su Qing said to Gu Yan.
Afterwards, Su Qing went to see Chief Liang again. Seeing that he was fine, he thought that the injection was effective. Gu Yan said that as long as 24 hours passed, he would be completely fine.
Commander Qin had originally planned to return to the capital today, but because Liang Zheng was injured, he decided to wait for 24 hours before leaving.
Su Qing asked Qin Yu to take Commander Qin and others to the military headquarters to settle down, and she stayed in the research institute to help.
She watched some people go crazy and then gradually calm down, while others were normal but suddenly became violent, and gunshots were heard from time to time. She was very sad when she heard the gunshots at the beginning, but later she became numb.
Lu Chen watched Su Qing walk out of a room with unsteady steps, her half-raised hands covered in blood. She didn't seem to notice Lu Chen and was about to walk past him when Lu Chen reached out and grabbed Su Qing, "Rest for a while, we're here."
"I'm fine. If anything happens here, someone has to make the decision." There are hundreds of people in the research institute who may turn into zombies at any time. They are like bombs that can explode at any time. It is extremely dangerous. As the leader, she should be here to take charge.
Lu Chen looked at her dark eyes and pale face, and his brows knitted together, "You look too bad now, go eat something and rest up, there are so many of us here, nothing will happen."
Fang Qing came out from behind Su Qing at this time, looked at the time and saw that it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. She nodded and agreed, "He's right, you should go and rest for a while. Let's just think of it as us switching shifts. You rest for a while, and I'll watch over here and you can replace me later in the night."
Seeing that the two of them seemed determined not to leave until she left, Su Qing felt helpless. Thinking that it would be so busy here and no one would care about eating, she said, "I'll ask someone to prepare some food, and we can all take turns eating."
Afterwards, Su Qing arranged for someone to pack a lot of food from the base cafeteria and send it over. Then she asked everyone to take turns eating and taking a rest.
There were many people crowded in a room, including Su Qing, Fang Qing, Lu Chen, Qin Yu and others. No one had much appetite, and no one picked up their chopsticks while holding their lunch boxes.
"Hey! Man is iron and food is steel, we can't live without food! Let's eat quickly because we have a lot to do soon. Oh, this meal is quite sumptuous." Li Yi saw the dull atmosphere and said something to liven it up. He opened the lunch box and quickly shoveled the food into his mouth. "It has to be produced in our base. The taste is amazing. Come and try it."
Seeing this, everyone started to take action.
This siege brought them a great sense of crisis. It turned out that no matter where they were, danger still existed. As long as zombies existed in this world, there was no absolute safety for humans...
