Chapter 212: The Same Path for Everyone (Twenty-Six)
After they cleaned up and left, Yu Huo let go of the little girl's ear and continued the previous topic: "Little sister, now can you tell your brother where you picked this flower?"
"In the back hills."
With her vision and hearing blocked, the little girl had no idea what was happening and still looked timid. However, from what had happened before, it could be seen that the man who had just stood up for her did not seem to have any bad intentions towards her.
The more difficult and unpredictable the environment, the faster a child matures. When she realized that the other person had no ill intentions, she dared to speak to the person in front of her, pointing in the direction behind her: "We ordinary people can't leave the tent area. We can only go for a walk on the small hill behind the base. There are many wild flowers there..."
Seeing this, Yu Huo let go of her and smiled: "Thank you, I understand."
After saying that, he picked up the blue-purple flower on the ground and put it back into the little girl's palm, then looked into the apartment.
At this time, Jiang Feng hurried down from upstairs with two umbrellas and gave one of them to Yu Huo.
Yu Huo then handed the umbrella to the little girl and said, "It's dangerous for you to take shelter from the rain here. Remember to hide when you see unfamiliar superpowers next time. Go back quickly."
After receiving the umbrella, the little girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled for the first time since they met: "Thank you, brother."
After she finished speaking, she waved to the two of them and walked towards the tents with an umbrella.
Jiang Feng waved his hand in front of Yu Huo's eyes and said, "Come back to your senses. Come with me to the back mountain to take a look?"
Yu Huo blinked slowly, took a step forward and walked under the young man's umbrella.
Raindrops fell on the silk umbrella, making crackling sounds, causing everything around to fall into a momentary distortion.
After receiving the people from the northern base, the Rising Sun Base became even more crowded. Most of the pedestrians on the road were running to their residences in a hurry. There were also a few people who were holding umbrellas like them, and their steps seemed neither hurried nor slow.
But these people looked at the foggy sky and raindrops with empty eyes. The precarious days in the end of the world made everyone fall into confusion. The cold rain seemed to seep into this dying city little by little, nourishing the emotions and making the sadness ferment and expand for no reason.
Yu Huo also seemed to be infected by this emotion. He pursed his lips, which was rare for him, and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd without saying a word.
Because of the rain, there was no one in the back mountain at this time.
The green plants on the mountain are lush and green. If you ignore the light black spots on the leaves, it is still a vibrant scene, dotted with small blue and purple flowers, swaying in the wind without any sorrow.
The two carefully looked at the plants on the back mountain and found that only these blue-purple flowers were not infected by the virus and were particularly vigorous.
Yu Huo studied it for a long while before glancing at the young man, his tone hesitant: "Can this little wild flower cure zombie disease?"
Jiang Feng was not sure either, he was just guessing, although this guess was not very realistic.
"I don't know either......"
Seeing his serious expression, Yu Huo couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "Looking at you, this is difficult, right?"
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and explained, using his limited medical knowledge, "As of now, zombie disease is a prion. It's neither DNA nor RNA, and doesn't rely on genetic information to replicate. This virus is very difficult to eradicate. My medical schoolmate mentioned to me before that, based on current medical standards, prions have a 100% mortality rate."
"Isn't that the most incurable of incurable diseases!" Yu Huo rolled his eyes speechlessly, feeling that he was too excited.
Jiang Feng glanced at the boy's thin pink lips, and his Adam's apple moved: "But this flower must have its own unique features to be immune to the virus. We have to try it out."
"What can we use to try it?" Yu Huo was even more worried: "Without any equipment or electricity, and without any scientific research experts, what can we achieve if we just make a discovery?"
Jiang Feng reached out and pulled the person beside him, pulling him in front of him. He gently wiped away the raindrops that accidentally fell on his cheek and chuckled: "I can see that you are full of resentment about being a zombie."
Yu Huomei's heart skipped a beat, and she grumbled, "Thanks for the invitation! It's not just me. How many of those who have turned into zombies can remain calm?"
"Alright, alright, you're already very good." Jiang Feng dragged the man back, and as he walked, he gently comforted him: "Everything depends on human effort. Just because we don't have what you said now doesn't mean we won't have it forever. Let's go back and rest first. We'll discuss this matter tomorrow..."
The two of them went back to eat and rest without any care, while the others in the base were engaged in a heated discussion.
A water-based mutant died in public. This was the first time such blatant murder had been seen in the early days of the apocalypse.
In the past, they would punish the prisoners even if they didn’t lock them up, but now the situation has changed, which is really a headache!
"So many people are watching. If this isn't dealt with severely, it's going to get leaked a second or third time."
A middle-aged man in military uniform stood by the window, gazing at the water droplets hanging on the glass. He sighed, "Those people with special abilities are already difficult to control, and among them are several potential violent elements who are watching. If we don't punish them severely, they'll use this as an excuse to cause trouble and lose their composure. Who knows what terrible situation will become!"
"Captain Qi, I understand your concerns, but things have their priorities, and we must learn to be flexible." The mayor of this city also put on a gloomy look and sighed, "Right now, all the checkpoints and national highways in our city have been blocked by zombies. We have run out of supplies, and if no one comes to break the deadlock, we will run out of resources, and the consequences will be even more serious.
The strength displayed by the young man named Jiang Feng is too amazing. In addition to the incident today, he has already demonstrated four superpowers. With his help, our front line will be a lot easier. Maybe we can even clear out the zombies surrounding the national highway and let the convoy transporting supplies in.
Don't forget, there are a lot of technicians and equipment coming from Kyoto this time. Professor Tan Hezheng is waiting for these instruments and specimens to research a cure for zombie disease. We have no choice."
"Mayor, I know everything you've said..." But Captain Qi also had his own concerns: "What if this potion isn't developed in time, and chaos breaks out within our base? What's the difference between that and our own destruction?"
The two senior executives were so worried about this batch of supplies stuck on the national highway that their hair turned gray. If Yu Huo had known this earlier, he might have restrained himself and not let Jiang Feng kill that man.
Who didn't know that he was still eating and drinking with Jiang Feng in the apartment without any care? In the days without mobile phones, not only the relationship between neighbors but also their sex life were extremely harmonious.
This was also thanks to his superior skills, as he grabbed a bunch of condoms, otherwise the two of them would have become platonic long ago.
