Chapter 13 The End of the World 13
The solution quickly seeped out of the broken test tube.
As the glass tube shattered, a strange fragrance quickly spread.
It was a very peculiar smell, with a faint fishy smell of blood mixed with a faint scent
of gardenia. It was not unpleasant, more like the high-end perfume sold in the counter. Almost in the next second when the fragrance reached everyone's nose, the red-haired young man's eyes instantly turned red, bypassed Tang Ji, and rushed towards Xu Nianci who was closest.
At this time, the bodyguard beside Xu Nianci reacted quickly, pulled out the pistol at his waist and shot at Liang Jue.
"What happened suddenly?!"
Things happened too fast, and no one understood what happened.
"This is a zombie-attracting reagent I recently developed. It is used to attract and gather zombies."
Xu Nianci dodged Liang Jue's attack and added slowly:
"According to experimental results, this is only strongly attractive to zombies."
"So... he is a zombie?!" Liang Baiying followed suit and resisted the crazy Liang Jue.
The unusual scene here caused a commotion among the crowd, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.
Several people were controlled by the crowd, and Liang Jue was able to hide in the base, which obviously meant he was not an ordinary zombie. For a while, several people fell into a disadvantage.
Liang Baiying was not aware of it for a moment, and Liang Jue broke through the attack of the crowd and rushed into the chaotic crowd at a speed beyond ordinary people.
Instantly, blood splashed.
The ordinary people whose necks were bitten struggled hard, but in the face of absolute power, it was just a futile effort.
Within a minute, after the infected ordinary people struggled on the ground, their stiff bodies slowly stood up in a twisted way, turning into hideous zombies, and rushed towards the others around them.
"Hello-this is Liang Baiying from the first team, located at No. 120, Cross Street, South District. A high-level zombie has been found and ordinary people have been infected. Please come to support quickly! Repeat, this is..."
The situation became more and more uncontrollable. Liang Baiying pulled out the walkie-talkie buckled on his collar, immediately contacted the captain and other team members, briefly explained the situation, and sought support.
"Tang Ji, be careful!"
Zhi Zhi screamed in surprise as she watched an ordinary zombie rushing towards Tang Ji who was still standing still.
Tang Ji lowered his head, his long hair completely covering his face. Only his clenched fists revealed some emotions.
She was so flustered that she didn't notice anything wrong with the boy.
Seeing the boy standing there motionless, Zhi Zhi stamped her feet anxiously, ran towards the boy, stretched out her hand from a distance, trying to pull the boy away.
When he was about to touch the boy, Tang Ji suddenly raised his head, and his red eyes stared at the person in front of him gloomily, as if a ferocious and hungry beast was staring at the prey it was about to catch.
A chilling fear instantly surged into his heart. Zhizhi had no time to stop, and Tang Ji had already lost his mind, baring his sharp fangs.
"Bang——"
a bullet broke through the air.
Tang Ji's shoulder was instantly covered with blood.
Unlike ordinary people's dark red and black blood, it gushed out and soaked the light blue shirt on his shoulder.
Tang Ji covered his shoulder in pain, his red and lifeless eyes looked straight in the direction of the bullet, his pupils contracted, and he regained a bit of clarity.
Qin Ling maintained the posture of holding the gun a few meters away, his calm eyes were like a huge rock thrown down, flashing with complex emotions.
"Xiao Tang, you... a zombie?" Qin Ling's cold voice was accompanied by a slight tremor. Although everything in front of him was obvious, he still held a trace of doubt.
"Brother Qin, I..." Tang Ji's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously retracted his sharp and slender nails and canine teeth. He put his hands behind his back in panic, his eyes dodged, and he did not dare to look at Qin Ling.
For a moment, the chaotic and noisy sounds in his ears seemed to have disappeared, leaving only two hearts beating violently and restlessly, again and again.
The moment Qin Ling pulled the trigger, his reason told him: aiming at the head and killing with one shot is the safest and most reliable way.
But his instinct screamed, causing his usually steady hands to tremble and eventually change direction.
No one knew the tear in Qin Ling's heart, and at this moment he just stood in front of the boy with a blank expression and calmness.
The deadlock was broken by Lin Yixu who came later.
Lin Yixu led the second team to surround the scene in an instant.
Before that, Liang Jue had already rushed out of the crowd and disappeared.
Tang Ji was still in a state of panic. The wound on his shoulder had long been healed under the powerful self-healing ability, and the damaged skin was restored to its original state. Only the remaining dark red blood and the torn shirt showed the former wound.
The stronger the zombies are, the closer their body structures are to humans, but they often have extremely strong self-healing abilities and enhanced body functions.
The wound on his shoulder had long since healed, but his heart was aching slightly.
Tang Ji allowed the gunmen beside him to approach step by step, and they still pulled out handcuffs to handcuff his hands tightly. He ignored the shocked and frightened eyes of everyone around him, and just stared at the gunman in front of him with his black eyes.
He thought he would say something.
In the end, Tang Ji just moved his lips a few times, and his body, which was forcibly held down, finally turned around and took a deep look at the unmoved figure.
…
'Two high-level zombies disguised as humans were found in the base, one of which has been captured, and the other has escaped from the base according to surveillance. '
When this news reached everyone in the base, Tang Ji had been detained in the base's highest security detention room.
Not to mention how panic and fear this news caused inside the base, the top leaders were very satisfied that they were able to find the zombies in the base and successfully capture one of them.
As for the lives of ordinary people who were implicated, who really cares?
In the high-level meeting room, the rulers who sat upright were arguing over how to arrange Tang Ji, and their faces were red and their saliva was flying.
Lin Yixu stood sideways behind Lin's father, quietly looking at this group of profit-seeking businessmen and politicians. Of course, it's not that there are no truly upright people among them, but there are too few of them and their power is too small. To get to this position in such a world, both means and scheming are indispensable.
The Lin family was a big business crocodile before the end of the world. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, they successfully established a foothold in the huge base with a large number of survival materials and military resources in their hands. Lin
Yixu had already deeply understood how deep the water of the Lin family was before the end of the world, not to mention that there was no legal or even moral constraints at this time. Only with strength and means can one establish oneself.
At this time, the fledgling Lin Yixu just watched all this silently.
...
A maple tree stood quietly in the slightly desolate suburbs. This is where the team members usually train. It is open and spacious. Thanks to the higher terrain, they can see the rare clear sky without any haze or obstruction in the end of the world.
Qin Ling sat expressionlessly on a long row of seats under the tree. The lush leaves cast a large shadow, which gently accommodated the bench and blocked the hot midday sun.
The exhausted young man leaned against the seat, one hand gently covering his closed eyes. The spots of light that came through the gaps between the green leaves danced on his body, and the breeze blew the green leaves, and the spots of light danced with it.
"Captain..."
Rong Xinze wanted to take a few steps forward, but Liang Baiying grabbed his hand and shook her head silently.
"Let him be alone for a while." Ruan Heyu appeared on the other side of Rong Xinze and said softly.
"How will they deal with it...ah?" Zhizhi squatted on the grass in frustration, picked up a branch and silently drew circles on the ground.
When Tang Ji's name was mentioned, Zhi Zhi mumbled, fearing that the captain's excellent hearing would be particularly sensitive to this name.
"Hey, how could it be a zombie? Clearly these past few years..." Rong Xinze pulled his hair in annoyance, making it into a chicken nest.
"We all saw how much the captain cared about him in recent years. Now he has suddenly become the zombie he hates the most. Who can accept this all at once?"
"The captain has hated zombies all his life, and now... Alas..."
"Let's not disturb the captain for some time, let him have a good rest. We don't know how to persuade him about this matter."
"As for that side, let's pay more attention to the news. Xiaorong, you are more familiar with Captain Lin, ask him about it."
Several people gathered together during training time, whispering to discuss, starting with sad faces and ending with worries.
...
"WHAT THE FA*K??!!"
"What happened? Where am I? What am I doing?"
"Things are running wild like a wild horse. (Subway, old man, cell phone.jpg)"
"F*ck, the couple I just became a fan of is broken???"
"Huh???????"
"I feel relieved to see that everyone is as crazy as I am (died peacefully after covering himself with the quilt)"
"Wuwuwu——How did he suddenly become a zombie? Why is this happening? Why is this happening!!"
"Now that I think about it, there are actually traces of everything. First of all, there is Tang Ji's extremely inhuman temperament and appearance. Do you remember that Xiaorong once inadvertently said that he encountered fewer zombies after Tang Ji came into being? There is also the unusual atmosphere between him and Liang Jue (the one with red hair), and... (a thousand words omitted here). In summary, there are actually many small details that can show that Tang Ji is abnormal. (ps: To be honest, I also reversed my deduction after knowing his true identity. The main reason is that this guy is really good at pretending. Who would cosplay Sherlock Holmes in the real world without any problems?)"
"Damn, although, the upstairs is so strong"
"The analysis boss appeared. If you think about it this way, it is indeed a bit wrong."
"From Captain Qin's perspective, Tang Ji is like a kid with seven or eight layers of soft light filters. He is as well behaved as he can be, just like an angel in heaven. Who would be suspicious all the time?" "
Although the description above is a bit exaggerated, it is almost true."
