Si Beiting used a unique form of communication among zombies.
Jack paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, and said coldly, "You didn't ask either."
"Damn it, this is a waste of time. I need to go back to Professor Chu." Si Beiting hesitated. "If I hit you, could you withstand it?"
"Are you always this polite before you hit someone?"
"Of course, I'm a polite gentleman..."
Si Beiting's AI suddenly lit up. Just as he was about to look at it, Jack snatched it away.
Jack: "Destroy it."
Si Beiting reacted quickly, immediately pretending to be restricted in his movements. He was a beat too slow, and Jack snatched the AI.
But in that brief moment, Si Beiting was able to see the information on the smart device—
"I was locked up by Director Yu, but I wasn't hurt. He came to find you and asked you to act in a play for him."
The AI got the job, and Jack pushed Si Beiting aside.
The city lord's personal guards stepped forward and used large forks to carry Si Beiting onto the armored vehicle.
“Jack…” The city lord turned around, “I will temporarily keep the general’s AI.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jack quietly.
As always, Jack would offer the food without him having to ask.
But today, Jack was a step too slow.
A subtle glint flashed in the city lord's eyes: "Jack?"
Jack slowly pushed his wheelchair over and handed the AI to the city lord.
"go back."
"yes."
The city lord lowered his head and glanced at Si Beiting's smart device, which displayed a text message from the telecommunications company reminding him to pay his phone bill.
......
"Sister, Si Beiting has been captured by the city lord."
The system checked the surveillance footage near the manhole cover and saw: [His AI was taken by Jack, and your text messages were deleted by me.]
Chu Xinxin's heart tightened; she suddenly didn't want to stay in this wretched place anymore.
Don't worry, Jack has already told him you're no longer in the city lord's hands.
What does he want to do?
Wait a minute, I'll try to see if I can hack into the city lord's mansion's surveillance system.
He had just finished speaking when Director Yu returned.
"Professor Chu, I have bad news for you."
Director Yu hung his hat on the wall, walked to the cage, and said to Chu Xinxin, "Si Beiting has been taken away by the city lord."
"oh."
Chu Xinxin sat on the ground and, upon hearing this, merely lifted her eyelids slightly to glance at him.
I wasn't as anxious or angry as I had imagined.
Director Yu was a little annoyed: "Professor Chu, don't you care about the general? The general only surrendered because he thought you were in the city lord's hands."
"What's the use of caring about me if I'm locked up here?"
Director Yu tossed a pen and paper inside to Chu Xinxin: "Professor Chu, could you please write a letter for help? I'll try to find someone to take it in to the General."
......
Si Beiting was locked in the basement of the building that housed the archives.
It was Jack's first time here, so he took a few more glances.
The city lord immediately noticed: "This place was built not long ago. The walls are made of a hard meteorite called marble, which is also the same material used for the shackles worn by the general."
Marble?
Jack had vaguely heard of it.
This stone is not only hard, but it can also block invisible, ubiquitous signals.
Its effects may extend far beyond these, but humans haven't yet discovered them.
Jack withdrew his gaze and sat quietly in his wheelchair.
The city lord's gaze also shifted to Si Beiting: "General, because of your special status, I have no choice but to take some extraordinary measures. I hope you can understand."
Si Beiting was bound hand and foot to a large, upright bed. He snorted coldly, "Now that I'm here, can I see Professor Chu?"
The city lord was now honest: "Professor Chu, we haven't found her yet. We'll have her come to see you once we do."
"Are you kidding me?"
Si Beiting's face darkened, and he clenched his fists, looking as if he was about to break free.
The city lord subtly tightened his grip on the button beside him: "General, as long as Professor Chu is in the base, we'll find him sooner or later. I'm not lying to you."
"How come I never noticed before? It turns out the city lord is quite shameless."
"You flatter me."
As the two were talking, a doctor and a nurse suddenly walked in from outside.
That doctor was none other than Yu Hua, the son of Director Yu.
"Lord of the city, everything is ready. We can begin the blood draw."
Yu Hua said.
"Um."
After the city lord nodded, Yu Hua carefully approached Si Beiting. Seeing that Si Beiting was indeed unable to move, he began to disinfect his hand in preparation for drawing blood.
As the dark red blood was drawn from Si Beiting's body, the city lord's eyes gradually turned fiery.
"Lord of the city, may I ask you a question? What exactly do you intend to do?"
Si Beiting asked with great interest.
The city lord didn't answer until Yu Hua and the nurse had left: "General, you and Professor Chu investigated, so you should know that the virus Jack has is called Eternal 2, right..."
Si Beiting's pupils contracted: "How did you know?"
“Although you left your clothes and ID at the bottom of the pit, the DNA test showed it wasn’t you…” The city lord smiled. “Jiang Mo tried her best to hide it, but she forgot that she’s not the only anatomist in the base.”
"Later, Wei Yan went to District 11 and the photos he took were inconsistent with the photos taken by the first team of superhumans who had an accident."
"Professor Chu was acting quite strangely during that period... General, you were too careless."
Si Beiting: "So?"
The city lord continued, "Eternal 2, Eternal 2, before 2 there must have been 1. General, the virus in your body is Eternal 1..."
Eternity 2 is a defective product, while Eternity 1 is a finished product.
It can completely transform human cells, preserving the zombie's body, human intelligence, and even the superpowers from when they were human.
"This was the initial purpose of researching the zombie virus: to allow humanity to achieve another kind of...eternity."
The city lord's expression hinted at a touch of madness.
Eternity 1 can only be possessed by Si Beiting.
The others who received the Eternal 1 injection could not withstand the chain reaction caused by the zombie virus and are no longer alive.
Even the zombie king that was transformed from bed number four wanted to devour Si Beiting to achieve a complete advancement.
"You knew all along?" Si Beiting's green eyes grew even more eerie.
“I only found out recently.” The city lord pointed to the door. “Yu Hua’s father, Yu Dao, one of the researchers of the zombie virus, told me. He was too impatient. Before Mary could even say anything, he hurriedly killed her.”
The city lord, being a shrewd person, would naturally be suspicious.
He gradually extracted information from Director Yu through Yu Hua.
Unfortunately, before he could figure out how to get infected successfully like Si Beiting, Director Yu slipped away.
After searching for two months, we still couldn't find the person.
The city lord seemed a little tired. He instructed Yu Hua to take good care of Si Beiting before leaving.
Yu Hua was out conducting research and did not enter the room where Si Beiting was being held.
Si Beiting was bored and just wanted to loosen his bonds when Chu Xinxin's voice suddenly rang out in the room.
"Hey, why didn't you tie a bow?"
