It was impossible for Lingyu to fly back to Taoyang in one second. The place where the backpack was found was very close to Shouan Base. Even if he flew, Lingyu would not arrive until dawn at the earliest.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Fortunately, Su Tao had just awakened her special powers and her physical fitness was relatively strong. Since she couldn't sleep, she simply got up and stayed up late to move bricks.
She completed the construction of the small villa that she had promised to build for the Wenman couple in one go, and also gave them a small courtyard of 100 square meters, which was connected to Xiao Wenyu's land, as a back garden for the two families to share.
Wenman's house has three floors above ground and one floor underground. The general layout is similar to Xiao Wenyu's. The only major difference is that there is an additional pet sunroom to reserve for her future cats and dogs.
Shi Zijin just floated in the air and watched her moving bricks with great energy, but he only watched for a while before going to work the night shift again.
Even if he didn't need to find anyone, he still had to take on the task of night duty and keep an eye on the movements within a ten-mile radius of Taoyang.
I don’t know when he will have some free time, as he still hasn’t finished watching a drama.
At dawn, before Lingyu came back, Su Tao heard the bad news first - Jiang Tong's skin began to fester and rot on a large scale.
When Zhuang Wan went to see Jiang Tong in the morning, she smelled a strong smell of blood as soon as she entered the room. There were bloodstains on the bed and under the bed, and the black and red blood had flowed under the bedside table next to her.
She rushed over and saw Jiang Tong with a frown on his face, unconscious. She immediately called Su Tao.
"How, how could this happen?" Zhuang Wan was quite frightened. When she brought the baby back, it seemed to have only minor skin injuries. How come it had almost turned into a pool of blood in less than a day?
Su Tao's heart ached, and she felt helpless for a moment.
She also didn't expect Jiang Tong's injury to worsen to this extent.
Zhuang Wan said, "How about I call Lao Zhong over to take a look? This can't go on."
Su Tao had a splitting headache: "Your Lao Zhong can heal people, but can he also heal zombies?"
“I don’t know.”
Su Tao still called Zhong Gaoyi: "Let's try it out."
Zhong Gaoyi was also shocked when he saw Jiang Tong, who was covered in blood and looked like rotten meat. He suddenly understood something and looked at Su Tao fiercely:
"Boss Su, forget it. I can't treat her. Her condition is obviously not an external injury. Mr. Shen is more professional when it comes to zombies."
This was also a reminder to Su Tao that Jiang Tong should be handed over to Shen Wencheng.
Su Tao asked: "How long can she keep doing this?"
Zhong Gaoyi shook his head: "I don't know. She might not die, but will just rot like this forever. But she must be in great pain. Look at her expression."
Jiang Tong frowned, the veins on his forehead throbbing and sometimes twitching from time to time.
Moreover, strange red spots visible to the naked eye were gradually spreading to her face. I was afraid that in less than a day, her face would begin to fester and rot like her body and limbs.
Zhuang Wan covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red.
The poor child, who was about the same age as the morning light, had a miserable life and suffered such unbearable sin after his death.
God is indeed a bit cruel.
Su Tao's mind went blank and she began to doubt herself. Was it right or wrong for her to hide Jiang Tong and drag her life along?
Is it more painful to rot into a pile of rotten meat, or to be put on a laboratory bench for slices and dissection?
Su Tao scratched her head, and the color of her lips gradually faded.
Zhong Gaoyi thought quickly for two seconds, then turned around and said, "I'll go find Mr. Shen."
Su Tao looked at his back, opened her mouth but no sound came out.
Zhuang Wan hugged her, her voice choked: "You have tried your best."
Su Tao squatted down with her face covered, and she didn't get up until Chen Wencheng hurried over with a box.
"Oh my god, you guys really caught it!"
Chen Wencheng quickly put down the suitcase, opened it quickly, and scanned Jiang Tong's whole body with some kind of instrument. He showed a look of understanding, then took out a huge syringe and pushed the liquid inside into Jiang Tong's body.
Zhong Gaoyi thought that when encountering a zombie that was critically ill, Shen Wencheng had to be professional.
After the injection, Shen Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It won't get worse for now. Can you call two people to help me carry her to my lab? Boss Su? Boss Su, what's wrong with you?"
Su Tao slowly stood up, waved to him, glanced at Jiang Tong on the bed and asked:
"How did she become like this?"
Shen Wencheng glanced at the scan information on the computer and said:
"It seems she's been infected by another mutant zombie. I need to take her back to the lab for further analysis."
Su Tao instantly thought of Painted Skin.
The purulent erythematous skin does resemble the characteristics of skin cancer.
It must be that when the two of them had a conflict, Painted Skin deliberately infected her.
"If there's no problem, I'll take her away. Our experiments have been stalled for a long time, and I have to make them all stay up all night today."
Shen Wencheng had been in a very excited state. The only thing in his mind and eyes was the pool of rotten flesh lying on the bed. He didn't pay any attention to the expressions of the people present.
Su Tao's "OK" rolled around on the tip of her tongue for several times, and when she was about to blurt it out, Jiang Tong on the bed made a slight clicking sound, like a drowning person struggling to cry out:
"Brother, brother."
When Zhuang Wan heard the clear call of "Brother", she couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and left.
Zhong Gaoyi followed him out to coax his wife.
The only people left in the room were Jiang Tong, who kept calling "Brother", Su Tao, who was stiff, and Chen Wencheng, who was confused.
After a long while, Chen Wencheng finally remembered that the sample No. 2 he had been thinking about was actually the sister that Jiang Yu had brought back before.
He was obsessed with research and didn't care much about many people and things in Taoyang. The reason he could remember them at this time was because he had more contact with Jiang Yu.
He carefully looked at Su Tao's face, and a bad feeling arose in his heart: "Is it Brother Jiang who is unwilling?"
After all, she is his biological sister. It is understandable that Jiang Yu is unwilling.
However, considering the overall situation, if it were him, he would definitely agree with the pain.
To him, all small loves and family matters are no match for experiments and the common interests of mankind.
For the sake of the potion and to end the apocalypse as soon as possible, he would rather sacrifice everything, including his own life and the life of his family.
At this moment, Su Tao really wanted to cover her ears so that she couldn't hear Jiang Tong's call or Shen Wencheng's question. She also wanted to avoid them like Zhuang Wan, but she couldn't.
She tried to stay rational: "No, he is willing, but can you give us some time?"
Shen Wencheng suddenly found it difficult to do anything:
"Boss Su, our experiment is very urgent. If the drug is available one second earlier, we can save a few lives. Can you persuade Brother Jiang to do some ideological work? He is dedicating himself to the cause of humanity. When everything is over, everyone will remember the contributions made by this brother and sister."
