After the armored vehicles left, the base fell silent again.
But not long after, another disturbance broke out in the city lord's mansion.
Immediately afterwards, an armored vehicle crashed through the gate's railings and sped towards the city gate.
People with good eyesight could see that the person sitting in the car appeared to be Si Beiting.
"How could that be! Wasn't the general long gone?"
"Who knows? What wouldn't the people in that mansion do?"
"Exactly. If they can use something like vaccines to consolidate their power, I'm not surprised at all what they'll do."
The city lord's reputation has plummeted due to the vaccine scandal.
Now that something has happened, the public seems to be gloating.
"Shall we go and take a look?"
"Walk."
After Si Beiting drove off, he attracted a group of people who followed his car.
However, Si Beiting didn't care; when he took it out, he took Yu Hua's smart brain.
I sent messages to Director Yu and Chu Xinxin, but received no reply.
Si Beiting's heart sank lower and lower.
Before Mingming came out, Yu Hua said that Director Yu would contact him.
......
On the other side.
Chu Xinxin was tied up by Director Yu in the building that is the headquarters of miG in District 11.
This place is not far from the deep pit where Si Beiting and the Zombie King fell in; it's just across a sports field.
Yu Hua observed with binoculars every day.
Chu Xinxin told him to rest, that he was too old to be playing kidnapping games like young people.
"Professor Chu, you are still young."
Director Yu put down his binoculars and stretched his shoulders: "When you get to my age, you'll be just like me, trying everything you can to prolong your life..."
"Forget it, what's the point of turning me into something that doesn't need to sleep or eat..." Chu Xinxin shook her head. "What's the point?"
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of human life. If we violate these rules, the price we pay will be unpredictable.
"Life has meaning," Director Yu retorted.
Chu Xinxin: "Professor Yu, the people around you will all grow old and die, and you will be the only one left in the world. No one will know you, and loneliness and solitude will drive you crazy."
"I want to try things I haven't experienced before, so I don't have the chance to say I regret it."
Director Yu picked up the binoculars again and turned around to continue observing.
Unable to persuade him, Chu Xinxin could only sigh and stop talking.
[Sister, Si Beiting sent you a message. Do you need me to reply for you?]
"Okay, let's give him the location, Brother Fa."
Okay.
Time passed slowly, and Director Yu finally saw the long convoy through his binoculars.
He exclaimed, "How could so many people come!"
The convoy stretched on and on, as if everyone from the entire base had come.
Director Yu glanced back at Chu Xinxin, his cloudy eyes seeming to brighten unexpectedly in that instant.
"Nonsense, if you're so arrogant as to declare war right here in the central square, even a passing dog would be curious enough to take a look, right?"
Chu Xinxin rolled her eyes inwardly and retorted to him.
Director Yu's doubts lessened somewhat: "Professor Chu, I hope you'll cooperate with me later..."
......
The people from Base S have searched all the way here, and now, only the City of Death remains.
"Search immediately. If Director Yu is found, execute him on the spot, but do not harm Professor Chu. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The superhumans scattered in all directions.
The city lord walked to the deep pit that had been filled in and then dug out again, looking at the rotting bones below, and stood there quietly, lost in thought.
The city of the dead still remains dark, and with winter upon us, the whole city is very cold.
The city lord started coughing after standing for a while.
Jack went up to him and advised him to go back to the car to rest.
"I'm fine." The city lord suppressed the itch in his throat. "Jack, after turning into a zombie, can you still feel the cold?"
Jack shook his head: "No."
The city lord coughed twice more: "Will all sensation disappear?"
"Um."
The city lord fell silent.
The search is ongoing.
A team of superhumans has already entered the building of the mIG Research Institute.
The city lord looked at the building and said, "Jack, I didn't want you to turn into this, but you should know that your current state might be the future of humanity."
After saying that, he walked straight toward the miG research institute building without waiting for Jack's reply.
Jack watched the retreating figure and smiled silently.
Is turning into zombies humanity's future?
Who made that decision?
Is it a natural law?
They are leading humanity toward extinction, yet they presumptuously try to justify their selfish desires with grand and respectable reasons.
The city lord is as hypocritical as ever.
Jack reached into his pocket and gripped his usual pistol.
......
mIG building.
The search team gradually moved upwards, but Director Yu and his team had not yet arrived.
His palms were covered in sweat.
He heard the sound of a door being opened and kicked downstairs. Director Yu gritted his teeth, grabbed a gun, and pointed it at Chu Xinxin's head, preparing to go down and directly threaten the city lord to give him what he wanted.
The pistol had just touched Chu Xinxin's hair when a figure appeared at the door.
Si Beiting has finally arrived.
"Stop!" Director Yu half-pulled the trigger, and Si Beiting immediately stopped.
"Professor Yu, you promised you wouldn't hurt Professor Chu."
A murderous glint flashed in Si Beiting's eyes.
"General, I don't want to either." Director Yu tapped the stool next to him with his chin. "There are inhibitors over there. Please inject yourself."
Si Beiting: "I'm not stupid. I'm not going to cut off my own path to survival and let you do whatever you want with me."
"Then I'll have no choice but to let Professor Chu and I perish together."
"Alright."
Si Beiting gave himself several injections before Director Yu released Chu Xinxin.
"General, I will not harm you. I just want to take a little something from you."
Blood was drawn again.
Si Beiting didn't quite understand: "With just this little bit of blood, you'll become like me?"
"No, it still needs to be extracted, and then adjustments will be made based on your own physical condition."
"Why didn't you take more tubes before I turned into a zombie?"
Si Beiting had a unique experience; he had been scratched and bitten by zombies many times, but he never turned into a zombie. The research institute had him draw blood from them.
"I only found out before Mary died that the little boy was you."
Director Yu answered.
"I see..." Si Beiting asked again, "Then why did you leave the City Lord's Mansion? If you were still here, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for you to get my evolutionary material?"
Director Yu had already drawn blood and was putting it into the incubator. He then packed his things and said, "General, haven't you ever heard the saying..."
"What did you say?"
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked..."
"Professor Yu, your words are hurting me," the city lord's voice came from the doorway. "I never intended to do anything to you..."
The three people's expressions changed instantly, and the entire room was suddenly surrounded by powerful superhumans.
The city lord slowly removed his glasses, revealing a pair of dark green pupils to everyone...
