Chapter 80
The two did not have time to say anything else, because someone soon came to find Lou Tiannan and told him that there was important intelligence report from Aurora's side hall.
Lou Tiannan announced that there would be a meeting in the restaurant in ten minutes. Lin Bai slipped back to his room while Lou Tiannan was talking to others.
When Lin Bai returned to his room, Xiya threw herself into his arms. Her big round eyes were filled with anxiety and self-blame. She clung to Lin Bai and asked softly, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She glanced at Elena behind Xiya and said.
Elena stared at Lin Bai for a few seconds, worry in her brown eyes, "Can you tell me?"
Lin Bai met Elena's gaze. She had thought about seeking Elena's help during a very difficult time, but that thought only flashed through her mind. So many things had changed in the end of the world, and she was not sure if Elena could be trusted. Now she was sure that Elena was trustworthy, but she knew how dangerous what she was going to do was, and she didn't want Elena to fall into danger for her.
So, Lin Bai smiled at her and said, "Not for now."
Elena's brown eyes dropped, and before she could speak, someone hurried to the door and told her, "Elena, the team has arrived at the restaurant."
In Lou Tiannan's team, Elena has become an indispensable analyst and planner, and she must appear.
Lin Bai pushed her and said, "You go first. I'll change my clothes and come over."
Lin Bai had a strong scent of Lou Tiannan's pheromones on her body. Anyone passing by her with a nose could smell the scent. The surprised psychic who had just come to notify her stayed on her for a long time.
When Lin Bai came out of the bathroom, Elena was gone, but there was another person standing in the room.
Zhu Liang.
Lin Bai put down the towel in his hand: "Deputy Captain Zhu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Xia Xia has been infected with the zombie virus." Zhu Liang said softly.
"I know. Didn't Captain Lou bring back the original blood vaccine?" Lin Bai said naturally.
"I gave her two shots, but the vaccine couldn't suppress the zombie virus in her system. Bai Chuan said the chief's research report showed that the drug they've replicated from Dean Xiao Hehua's original blood vaccine can only provide immunity to level three zombies and below. And only if the infection occurs within five minutes will there be a 95% chance of success. Unless they can develop a second dose based on the first dose, there's a chance of 100% immunity to all zombie viruses."
Lin Bai sat on the chair and looked at him: "So, why are you telling me this?"
"Xia Xia was injured in the arm by a superpowered zombie while saving someone. One dose of the original blood vaccine is not enough to save her." Zhu Liang lowered his head and said, "I beg you, please save her."
When Lin Bai saw Zhu Liang, he guessed his purpose. He had indeed seen her actions at that time, but whether Zhu Liang woke up or now, he never mentioned this matter, nor did he try to use this matter as some kind of threat.
As for Wen Xia Xia, Lin Bai remembered the girl with short hair.
"I can't save her. I don't have a second dose." She fumbled in her inner pocket and took her hand out, palm facing up. A two-centimeter dark red potion bottle lay in her palm. "I gave you this at the time. It was just a test. This is the last bit I have. You can try it."
Zhu Liang looked at the bottle of medicine in her palm and took it: "Thank you."
…
In a separate, blocked-off room, Wen Xia Xia's limbs were restrained to the four corners of the bed by metallic powers. Black and purple lines had appeared on her face and neck, and her usually neatly trimmed nails had grown to five centimeters long.
Although he was still unconscious, a hoarse sound kept coming out of his throat.
Song Yan and Zhou Yu in the room looked at Wen Xia Xia anxiously, "What should we do? The vaccine seems to be useless for Xia Xia!"
"I'll go find Captain Lou. Let's take Xia Xia into the federal research laboratory!" Zhou Yu said as he walked back and forth. Lou Tiannan didn't know about Wen Xia Xia yet. At first, after they gave her the first shot, Wen Xia Xia's mutation was suppressed, but within half an hour, the mutation began to recur. Just like they had treated Zhu Liang before, they injected Wen Xia Xia with the second dose of the original blood vaccine, hoping that Wen Xia Xia would have Zhu Liang's good luck.
However, this time, in less than half an hour, Wen Xia Xia's zombie mutation reaction became even more serious.
As soon as Zhu Liang came back, Zhou Yu and Song Yan looked at him at the same time, "Brother Liang, have you gone to see Team Leader Lou?"
"No, I'll explain it to you later." Zhu Liang glanced at Wen Xia Xia lying on the bed, ran straight to the medical box, and found a syringe. He opened the small medicine bottle in his palm, and a refreshing breath gushed out. He used the syringe to draw liquid from it.
It was indeed as Lin Bai said, there was not much liquid left, less than a quarter of the syringe, but Zhu Liang intuitively felt that even if it was only this little, it would definitely be useful.
He remembered that when his consciousness was about to be swallowed by the things hidden in the darkness, a powerful force that should not be underestimated rushed up from his arm and quickly filled his body, giving him the overwhelming confidence again. He clearly remembered that when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Bai retrieving an empty syringe from his arm.
Afterwards, he looked at the small, inconspicuous needle hole on his arm and knew that it was Lin Bai who saved him.
So after seeing that the vaccine had no effect on Wen Xia Xia, the first thing he thought of was not to find Lou Tiannan but to ask Lin Bai for help.
"Brother Liang, what is this?" Song Yan and Zhou Yu looked at the bottle of medicine in Zhu Liang's hand curiously.
"Whether Xia Xia can hold on depends on this." Zhu Liang injected the liquid in the syringe into Wen Xia Xia's body.
Less than thirty seconds after the dark red liquid was injected into Wen Xia Xia's body, she groaned in pain, her whole body tensed up, and her limbs lifted up uncontrollably. However, restrained by the metal shackles, she eventually fell back onto the pillow powerlessly.
"Xia Xia? Xia Xia!" Song Yan went to see Wen Xia Xia anxiously.
But Wen Xia Xia seemed to be in great pain, her face was distorted, and her hair was soaked with sweat. "Ah--" She was obviously in more pain than before the injection.
…
Lou Tiannan, who had no idea about Wen Xia Xia's situation, was having a meeting with everyone in the restaurant.
Lou Tiannan took a few minutes to take a quick shower and change his clothes, trying to get rid of the pheromone smell on his body before going to the restaurant.
Zhuang Qian, the wood-type mutant who has been staking out Aurora's side hall, is an important figure in this meeting.
"I've been keeping an eye on the Aurora side hall. Four hours ago, when you went to intercept those zombies, someone seemed to have broken in." Zhuang Qian recounted what she had seen, word by word. "The guards in the side hall were in disarray for a while, and then I saw Aurora's Bishop Claire and missionary Cook appear in the side hall. Cook must have gone towards you, and Claire entered the side hall. Not long after, the side hall exploded."
"During the explosion, I saw a man in black leaving the side hall. I suspected he might have been responsible for the explosion, but he was very cautious and quick, disappearing from our surveillance in the blink of an eye. It was after the explosion that I discovered my special wooden stick could penetrate into the side hall."
"What did you see?!" someone asked excitedly.
Zhuang Qian took a pen and began to draw. She recalled what she saw on the central screen as she sketched it. "The side hall isn't big. There's a narrow passageway right inside. It doesn't seem to be guarded. There are piles of supplies and statues on both sides of the passageway. Ten meters inside is the entrance to an underground passageway. I drove wooden strips through the soil and deep into the underground passageway. Just as the metal-type psychic Liu Jiang said, the underground passageway is quite large and divided into several rooms. Two of the rooms are occupied by people who are recording and observing."
"Record? And observe?"
"Yes, that's right." Zhuang Qian divided the space on the screen into several sections and wrote on them: "The first section is where the people who record observations are located. The second section is for people wearing white lab coats. There's an empty room on the far left. To the right of the empty room is a separate compartment, and then..."
Zhuang Qian paused here and circled almost half of the underground space, "Here, there is a huge white cocoon." She drew an oval shape similar to the cocoon in the center of that half of the space.
"Could this be the zombie king that Team One mentioned Aurora cultivating?"
“Very likely!”
"When I saw it, they all looked very excited, and I also heard them say that it was about to wake up, and that the Lord of God was about to come." Zhuang Qian slowly recounted the scene she saw at that time based on her memory.
Lou Tiannan frowned, knowing that if what Zhuang Qian heard was true, then they didn't have much time left. They must stop Aurora's conspiracy as soon as possible. No matter what was in that giant cocoon, Aurora must not be allowed to grow out.
"Captain Lou!" Lu Jia walked in from outside the restaurant. He had gone to the Federation with Baichuan and Lou Tiannan. Because Wen Xiaxia was in an urgent situation, Baichuan and Lou Tiannan brought back two original blood vaccines first, and he and two other psychics escorted back the remaining original blood vaccines.
The Federal Research Institute has already mass-produced a dose of the original blood vaccine. Data shows that these vaccines can immunize 95% of level three and below zombie viruses. Before the battle begins, it is best for all psychics to get an injection just in case.
The emergence of the original blood vaccine is undoubtedly good news, and it also gives those with special abilities more confidence.
Lou Tiannan looked at the people with special abilities who were queuing up for injection in the restaurant, and thought of Wen Xia Xia who was infected with the zombie virus. He turned to the room where Wen Xia Xia was and saw Zhu Liang, Zhou Yu, and Song Yan standing in front of Wen Xia Xia's bed.
"How is Xia Xia?" Lou Tiannan walked in and asked.
Song Yan frowned and replied, "The mutation has stopped, but she is running a high fever."
After Zhu Liang injected Wen Xia Xia, although Wen Xia Xia was in pain, the zombie mutation stopped. It lasted for about five minutes, and then Wen Xia Xia began to have a high fever and her body was incredibly hot.
Lou Tiannan walked over to observe Wen Xiaxia's reaction and immediately saw the reason for her high fever: "She's leaping."
"But why is her C-level leap reaction so big?" Song Yan was a little confused.
"If we can jump over it, it will be more than C-level." Lou Tiannan is very familiar with the breath of energy particles. These energy particles surrounding Wen Xia Xia are clearly A-level energy.
Suddenly, he caught a whiff of a faint but hard-to-ignore scent. His eyes fell on the small medicine bottle next to the medical kit. "What is this?"
