After a brief conversation, Liu Kai was about to continue his daydreaming.
But suddenly they saw the autonomous driving terminal station set by Shen Shiwei.
It wasn't the Nanjing Military Region base, but the provincial military region base in Rongcheng.
"Is Commander Shen also going to Rongcheng?"
Shen Shiwei nodded: "Secretary Qiu should have made arrangements for you, right? Academician Zhu Chaomin discovered some clues about the rampant virus last night and needs help."
"Secretary Qiu told me, but what exactly did Old Zhu discover?"
When Liu Kai asked the question, Shen Shiwei did not answer.
Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we get there."
Seeing Shen Shiwei's smile, Liu Kai was filled with questions.
If you can still laugh, is there really nothing wrong with you?
But if the problem wasn't serious, why would General Secretary Qiu Xingzhou personally take notice?
Filled with questions, the plane flew rapidly toward the Rongcheng base.
The Rongcheng base has become lively again.
Since Liu Kai was taken away by the war zone personnel at 2 a.m., Zhong Linyu and the others had no choice but to return to Fenghai City.
Qin Luofei was the only one who insisted on staying; she wanted to wait for Liu Kai to come home.
She and Yang Hongchang spent the whole night in fear, never expecting such a pleasant surprise to come so quickly.
10 a.m.
As the Gulfstream G650 aircraft slowly landed and came to a stop at the airport, the cabin door opened.
Unable to suppress her inner turmoil any longer, Qin Luofei rushed forward despite the rain.
Once again, he bumped right into Liu Kai, who was carrying an exoskeleton case.
In just a few hours, she experienced the bittersweet emotions of losing and regaining things twice.
I don't know whether to be worried or relieved.
For a moment she was speechless, she just hugged Liu Kai tighter and tighter, as if afraid he would leave her again.
Liu Kai also had mixed feelings, because he didn't know what to explain.
After all, the content of today's conversation is of utmost importance, and not a single word can be leaked.
Even the fact that he was about to be officially appointed to the Armaments Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology could not be disclosed; he could only wait for the official appointment from above.
"Ahem, young love, how beautiful."
The sudden sound interrupted their tender moment.
Qin Luofei then remembered that there was another person on the plane.
She blushed instantly and released Liu Kai with both hands.
Stand at attention and salute: "Greetings, Commander Shen!"
"Hehe, hello Xiao Qin. I need to borrow your boyfriend now. You two can be all lovey-dovey when you get home."
At this moment, Yang Hongchang also came to the plane door with an umbrella and kindly helped Shen Shiwei off the plane.
His words were full of gratitude: "Thank you, old chief."
"No need to thank me. Consultant Liu didn't have any problems to begin with, so I didn't help."
Seeing that Yang Hongchang wanted to say something, Shen Shiwei decisively shook his head: "What happened today is top secret. Don't ask, and I won't tell you. You'll find out later."
Yang Hongchang glanced at Liu Kai in surprise: "Top Secret?"
Shen Shiwei stared at the major general rank on Yang Hongchang's collar, a strange smile appearing on his face.
"Hongchang, you'd better work harder and get promoted again, otherwise you might not be able to keep your future son-in-law in check."
"Let's go, take us to see Academician Zhu Chaomin."
Yang Hongchang didn't understand what Shen Shiwei meant at first, but he didn't dwell on it too much.
He called the group to get into the car and headed towards the underground research and weapons factory 3 kilometers away.
Shortly afterward, Liu Kai and his group went underground.
After going through a strict disinfection process, I was asked to put on a chemical protective suit again.
This unusual occurrence made Liu Kai wonder: Could it be that a new variant of the virus has emerged?
He quickly began scanning and soon found virologist Zhu Chaomin in a nearby laboratory.
However, there is a place next to the laboratory that resembles an isolation room.
The scene there truly gave Liu Kai a huge fright!
There were three large steel cages containing five humans.
Let's just call them humans for now.
Because at this moment they seemed to be suffering from mania, with severe congestion in their brains and eyes.
His face was contorted in a terrifying grimace, his eyes wide open, not blinking an eye.
His mouth was wide open, revealing a set of white teeth.
Moreover, it seemed to feel no pain, violently and continuously pounding the steel cage with its flesh.
Even though they were bleeding profusely from the impact, they still showed no sign of stopping.
An extremely absurd word involuntarily popped into Liu Kai's mind.
His lips twitched involuntarily, and he cursed, "Damn it, you can't play games like this!"
Despite his surprise, Liu Kai did not show any unusual expression and obediently followed Yang Hongchang to the laboratory.
After all, Yang Hongchang, Shen Shiwei, and Qin Luofei seemed to know about the situation here as well.
They didn't seem too worried; perhaps things weren't that serious.
When everyone arrived at Zhu Chaomin's research lab, he was still unkempt, hunched over the instruments recording data.
He was accompanied by a young man in his thirties wearing a white coat, who was probably his student.
Hearing footsteps, he reluctantly looked away from the instruments.
Seeing Shen Shiwei enter, he was momentarily stunned.
With a smile and considerable surprise, he asked, "Commander Shen, why did you make this trip in person?"
"Hehe, of course I have to come in person. Professor Zhu's research is extremely important."
Zhu Chaomin nodded, then looked at Liu Kai behind him: "Xiao Liu, you've come at the right time. You know the situation, right?"
Liu Kai simply shrugged.
"No, I don't know what happened yet. I just said you need my help."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chaomin didn't ask any further questions and simply pressed a button on the desktop.
The frosted glass on the right side of the laboratory, which was originally blurry, became transparent instantly after being powered on.
Not only did it reveal the scene behind, but it also removed the sound shield.
Angry roars rose and fell, reaching everyone's ears through the glass.
Although he already knew the situation here, Liu Kai still pretended to be somewhat surprised and took a step back.
Looking at Zhu Chaomin with disbelief, he asked the question he had wanted to ask earlier: "Old Zhu, this...this isn't a zombie, is it?"
However, before Zhu Chaomin could answer, the young man in the white coat next to him suddenly sneered.
"Ha...zombies? What kind of common sense does that require to say something like that?"
The doctor in the white coat spoke very softly, almost as if he were muttering to himself.
Everyone else in the room only heard his sneer, but Liu Kai heard the whole thing clearly.
He immediately frowned and looked over, clearly displeased.
The young man in the white coat stared at Liu Kai without fear, his eyes full of disdain.
This completely baffled Liu Kai:
You start mocking me the moment we meet? Do I even know you?
Zhu Chaomin naturally sensed that something was off and quickly turned around to glare at the man in the white coat.
Only then did he begin to explain the question Liu Kai had raised.
"These people are actually mutants infected with the Rampage virus, which has made them somewhat manic."
"In a sense, they're actually a bit like the zombies in movies..."
