Chapter 15 The End of the World 15

In a villa in the suburbs.

Lin Yixu has been leaning against the wall in the same posture, guarding the door, with a lighted cigarette between his thin fingers, but he did not smoke it, just let it burn quietly on his fingertips.

"How is the person?"

Xu Nianci opened the door and took off the mask on her face.

"The situation has stabilized."

Turning around and pouring a glass of water, Xu Nianci took a sip, with a teasing look in her eyes:

"You are afraid that the base will blame you, so you specially sent the person to me for treatment. Tell me, how much medical expenses do you owe me?"

"Are you still afraid that I will run away?"

Lin Yixu raised an eyebrow and asked back.

"But I still have to thank you, but..."

Captain Lin Yixu, who always said what he meant, rarely showed a hesitant expression.

"... Is it really right for us to hide it from him like this?"

"You know that the decision above will never be changed. Using a zombie to exchange for a future possibility for humans is a very cost-effective deal, isn't it?"

"And you also saw Qin Ling's feelings for the zombie. If you tell him, can you guarantee that he won't do something out of line? By then, I'm afraid the base will no longer be able to accommodate him."

Xu Nianci's few questions temporarily dispelled Lin Yixu's doubts.

But deep in his heart, there was always an inexplicable panic, like a kind of warning.

"Okay, I've saved the person for you. The lab is waiting for me. I'm leaving now."

Xu Nianci picked up the key on the table and left the quiet house.

Lin Yixu leaned against the wall at the door alone and never went in.

When the cigarette on his fingertips finally burned out and the strong smell of smoke around him almost dissipated, Lin Yixu patted his clothes and slowly walked into the room where Qin Ling was placed.

The young man's face was pale and his lips were bloodless. He was restless in his sleep and his brows were wrinkled, just as fragile as he was after being seriously injured in the mission three years ago.

Lin Yixu stood in front of the bed, a little distance away, looking at the young man with his eyes closed.

The two have been friends for many years, starting as small team members until each of them became the captain of the team.

Lin Yixu didn't say that he knew Qin Ling very well, but he knew him well. However, Qin Ling today made him feel a little strange.

He had never seen Qin Ling lose his composure like this. His cold and powerful Captain Qin was always calm and sharp, and could make the most correct decision even in the most critical moments.

The top management of the base announced to the outside world that they had executed the zombies hidden in the base to appease the people, but in fact they secretly kept Tang Ji as an experimental subject.

This experiment started at the beginning of the base. At the beginning, some zombies were captured outside for experiments. However, as the zombies evolved, the zombie virus also mutated to a certain extent. The base had planned to capture some high-level zombies.

Zombies that can reach Tang Ji's level in appearance and intelligence are even rarer. The base will not let go of this excellent experimental material.

In fact, capturing zombies for experiments is just a common thing for humans, but when this zombie has a close relationship with the captain of the first team in the base, how to balance the relationship between the two becomes a problem.

The base wants to appease Qin Ling and get Tang Ji.

However, the base will never tolerate a guy who has a deep affection for zombies and dares to challenge the majesty of the base again and again.

Lin Yixu is sure that once Qin Ling shows signs of being out of control, the base will regard it as a betrayal, and it will definitely be disadvantageous to Qin Ling.

Maybe it was right to hide that thing from him.

Lin Yixu thought silently.

...

Laboratory.

Xu Nianci swiped the card, put on a white coat, and walked into the laboratory.

The deeper you go into the laboratory, the higher the experimental level and safety factor.

After passing through multiple security checks and fingerprint and iris tests, passing through a series of silver corridors, you finally reach the innermost level of the laboratory.

Walking on the narrow corridor and landing on the metal floor is particularly obvious in such an extremely quiet place.

There were still two tall guards standing outside the door, holding guns.

Seeing Xu Nianci in a white coat coming, the two nodded slightly as a greeting.

Xu Nianci smiled back, opened the last layer of restrictions, and walked in slowly.

In front of him was still silver metal, extending out a corridor-like road, but there were many more transparent glass on both sides, forming many small compartments.

"Bang——"

"Bang——"

"Bang——"

A series of huge banging sounds rang out, and Xu Nianci looked towards the place where the sound came from.

——It was a hideous zombie banging its head against the thick glass, and its flesh hit the hard glass, making loud noises one after another.

Xu Nianci looked away indifferently, and then walked forward with his eyes fixed.

The pair of slender legs stopped in front of the innermost glass house.

Through the transparent glass, Xu Nianci fixed her eyes on the boy sitting in the corner.

Tang Ji closed his eyes, sitting in a dark corner with his hands on his knees.

Hearing the noise, Tang Ji opened his eyes, and his slightly unfocused eyes quickly focused on Xu Nianci.

A trace of imperceptible loss flashed across the boy's eyes, and he just looked at the person outside the glass without any emotion.

The two pairs of equally indifferent eyes looked at each other for a few seconds, and no one spoke.

In the end, Xu Nianci spoke first, "I heard that you said yesterday that you agreed to cooperate with us?"

"Well, but I have a condition."

Tang Ji said lightly.

"Let me meet him again."

Xu Nianci showed a somewhat sarcastic expression, "What? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you directly? Don't forget your current identity."

The boy's deep eyes were hidden in the darkness, like a bottomless black pool.

'Of course, the sooner zombies die, the better.'

'My biggest wish in this life is that all zombies in the world disappear.'

The words that once came out of that mouth still rang in his ears. The boy was silent for a moment, with a trace of pain on his bloodless face:

"You tell him..."

"If he doesn't want to come, forget it."

"Okay," Xu Nianci slowly raised the corner of her mouth, "I will definitely bring your words to you."

"But now, you should cooperate with my experiment."

Xu Nianci turned around and took out a test tube of different colors, slowly extracted the liquid inside with a needle, and walked towards the boy.

...

The next day.

"Knock knock--"

Xu Nianci knocked on the transparent glass with her fingers, making a crisp sound.

Tang Ji was still sitting in the same position, but his body was a little unstable and his reaction was a little slower than yesterday.

This was the sequelae of yesterday's experiment. After the injection, the needle raged everywhere in the body, bursting the blood vessels in the body, and the zombies' strong self-healing ability almost quickly repaired it in the next second.

Xu Nianci was researching the antidote to the zombie virus, and all the drugs tested on zombies were drugs that could cause damage to the zombies' body functions.

Zombies are actually not sensitive to pain. Low-level zombies can even be called walking corpses, and their threshold for pain is the lowest.

But the stronger the zombies, the closer their body structure is to that of humans. Pain is also a warning of danger. High-level zombies naturally have five senses close to humans.

"Do you know why I still have to help these people?"

Xu Nianci mixed the medicine in his hand while looking down at the test tube in his hand, and said casually:

"I really want to see their expressions when I develop the antidote that those people are extremely eager for and then destroy it with my own hands."

"Ha, that must be very exciting..."

Xu Nianci's suppressed laughter revealed an unspeakable weirdness in the silent laboratory.

"Oh, by the way," Xu Nianci put down the reagent in her hand and came to the glass room.

"I brought you a message yesterday. Do you need me to repeat it?"

Xu Nianci moved a little closer and said to the boy who was attracted by his words:

"He said that he never wants to see you again in this life."

Suddenly, the laboratory was terribly quiet.

Tang Ji held the wall and moved step by step to the transparent glass. His black eyes stared at the man in front of him. He almost gritted his teeth and spoke fiercely, but his eyes were filled with sadness that was about to overflow:

"You, lied."

"Believe it or not." Xu Nianci shrugged nonchalantly, "It depends on whether he will come to you in the end."

...

Wow, the protagonist is really good at playing after turning evil.

As the mastermind of the two aliases, how could Jun Zhaoliu not know whether Xu Nianci had brought a message or not? Qin

Ling has been lying in bed without opening his eyes since he fell into a coma, and he has never said a word to Xu Nianci. How could he say "I never want to see you again in this life"?

Moreover, even if Xu Nianci really brought a message, Qin Ling's personality would definitely not sit idly by, so how could he say such a cruel word.

Jun Zhaoliu lay down on the soft and comfortable sofa in the consciousness space and complained to System 001.

Fortunately, I am myself under the skin of both of them. It is a very novel experience to torture myself.

I was just worrying about how to start the script I wrote reasonably. Look, Xu Nianci has handed the play to me, so why don't I take it?

Jun Zhaoliu ate the cucumber-flavored potato chips with a crunchy sound, and leisurely lay down on the sofa. He pulled out the light screen and read the script word by word.

001, who had been silent at the side, came to Jun Zhaoliu's script and whispered: Can't it be a little sweeter at the end? I have seen that the endings of other worlds are all happy...

Jun Zhaoliu raised his eyebrows and patted the potato chip crumbs in his hand.

"It's not impossible."

Although 001 has no entity, but just a small ball of light floating in the air, the slightly dim ball of light brightened up after hearing Jun Zhaoliu's words.

Jun Zhaoliu flipped his hand, took out a pen, thought for a few seconds, made a few changes on the light screen, and nodded with satisfaction.

"How is it?"

The little light ball came over hesitantly and stopped in front of the light screen.

Then it was petrified.

001 swallowed the complaint that was about to come out of his mouth and carefully raised the question:

"Is this really better? Why does it feel more cruel!"

"Isn't this enough? Look here, here, and there, how sweet it is."

001: Really? I am not well educated, so don't lie to me.
