Chapter 71: Doomsday Humanoid Weapon 8

The door of the research institute was the last barrier to stop Yao Rong and No. 9. The security captain and Dr. Chen were expecting No. 9 to be electrocuted, but what happened?

Ah, is this playing Open Sesame?

No. 9 reached out and the door opened.

Then, No. 9 ran away without a trace in front of all of them!

The security captain was the first to react, shouting heartbreakingly: "Chase him!"

The zombies wandering near the door smelled the strong smell of living people, staggered towards the door of the research institute, and let out a series of terrifying howls.

The security captain held a long metal gun in his hand, and with anger, he chopped off the head of the zombie that blocked his way like chopping a watermelon, and continued to chase eastward.

Above the research institute was an abandoned industrial area. The security captain had just chased a hundred meters when he heard the sound of a car starting. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a shabby black motorcycle in front of him that crashed into the half-open warehouse door, carrying Yao Rong and No. 9 onto the road, and quickly disappeared at the end of his sight.

"They actually have a car!"

The fire-type esper who caught up a step behind was surprised.

No wonder this fire-type esper was surprised.

In order to protect the safety of the institute, these security personnel often patrol the industrial area and clear out some high-level zombies. If there are strange vehicles in the industrial area, they should be able to find them in advance.

"Since Yao Rong came prepared, he would definitely prepare a means of transportation for himself!" The security captain gritted his teeth.

This motorcycle looks shabby and is hidden in a warehouse. His subordinates patrol just to check the road and will not go to the trouble of entering the warehouse to search.

Even if they really enter the warehouse to search, they may not be suspicious at first glance at this shabby motorcycle.

Since Yao Rong and his team had transportation, the possibility of catching them back was getting slimmer and slimmer, but the security captain was unwilling to give up: "Immediately dispatch cars to chase them, go!"

***

On the road.

Yao Rong drove a motorcycle, and she almost drove at the fastest speed.

Lu Fei sat in the back seat of the car with a bag on his back, pulling at the corners of Yao Rong's clothes with both hands, and his eyes seemed to be unable to see enough, constantly looking at this long-lost world.

After driving on the main road for a while, when the road forked, Yao Rong turned into the small road without hesitation.

Although she didn't know where this small road would lead to, it was a very risky thing to continue driving a motorcycle on this road where there were few living people.

What if she was unlucky and ran into Dr. Xiao Bai's team head-on?

It was obvious that her motorcycle came from the direction of the research institute. If it really met Xiao Bai on the road, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Just five minutes after Yao Rong's motorcycle turned into the small road, several military trucks drove over from the other side of the road.

On the front truck sat a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

He was wearing a white lab coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His facial features were elegant and handsome, full of the aura of a scholar. There was always a smile on the corner of his lips, giving people a sense of gentleness, but upon closer inspection, his smile was clearly not as good as his eyes.

"Doctor, in ten minutes, we will arrive at the Ninth Research Institute in Ping'an City." The assistant reported respectfully as he sat beside him.

Xiao Bai nodded, and was about to speak, but then he turned his eyes and stared at the oncoming car through the glass window, and said gently: "Go and have a look."

The people in the car obviously saw them and hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Bai heard the whole story from his assistant.

The smile on the corner of his lips faded instantly.

Without the smile as a disguise, the sense of oppression he gave people suddenly increased a lot.

"Doctor, Captain Zhou said that he has sent people to chase Yao Rong and No. 9 along the fork in the road." The assistant's voice became more cautious.

"They can't catch up, let them withdraw everyone and stop doing this useless work." Xiao Bai's expression was cold, "Go to the institute immediately, I want to check the situation myself."

The institute is now in a mess.

All the researchers gathered at the gate to get some fresh air. The smell of living people was so strong that the zombies roaming nearby rushed over like crazy. Although the level of these zombies was not very high, there were not many security guards left in the institute. They spent a lot of effort to get rid of the zombies. Some people even died at the hands of zombies without paying attention.

This was what Xiao Bai saw when he arrived at the institute.

Dr. Chen felt guilty and went forward to greet them.

The assistant found a few oxygen cylinders from somewhere. Xiao Bai held the oxygen cylinders and carefully observed the door: "According to you, this door is inoperable?"

The security captain: "Doctor, yes, now we can no longer control the opening and closing of this door with commands."

Xiao Bai did not express any opinion, but asked the security captain to take him to the room where Lu Fei was imprisoned.

This room was one of the explosion points. The room was almost destroyed, and the corridor was also affected, but from the remaining traces, it was still possible to barely see the weapons installed in the corridor.

Xiao Bai watched in silence for a long time before asking another question: "When No. 9 escaped, these weapons that should have automatically launched an attack were all silent?"

The security captain nodded: "If the weapons had launched an attack, I should have discovered No. 9's escape earlier."

Xiao Bai looked at the place that was hit the hardest: "That's the ventilation duct opening."

After seeing what he wanted to see, Xiao Bai did not stop: "Take me to Yao Rong's room."

The room was also one of the explosion points, and almost all traces of Yao Rong's life here were destroyed by the explosion.

However, because the ventilation duct opening in the room was a little far from the desk, the explosion only slightly affected the desk, and most of the things on the desk were still intact.

Xiao Bai saw the half-burned notebook thrown in the corner of the pile of books at a glance.

This kind of notebook is uniformly distributed to every researcher in the institute. Yao Rong has only been at the institute for less than ten days, and has already filled up most of this thick notebook.

Xiao Bai bent down and picked it up.

From the side of the notebook, it can be clearly seen that there is a place where many pages have been torn off.

Xiao Bai opened the notebook along the tear mark and pointed the flashlight at the pages, but found that there was not even a trace of pen marks left on it.

No wonder so many pages were torn off here.

The other party was worried that someone would find out something wrong from the pen marks.

Putting down the notebook, Xiao Bai lost interest in continuing to check.

The assistants and others were still searching. Xiao Bai watched them do it. Although he knew that they were so cautious that there would be no obvious marks left, he did not stop them.

"Doctor..." Dr. Chen hurried in holding Yao Rong's information, "Yao Rong's information shows that she has a child."

"I asked her where her child was, but she told me that her child was in danger at the beginning of the apocalypse. I mistakenly thought that her child died in a zombie attack, so I invited her to the institute without thinking much."

Too many people died at the beginning of the apocalypse, and Dr. Chen did not doubt Yao Rong's words at all: "Now it seems that this child named Lu Fei is very likely... very likely to be No. 9..."

Dr. Chen knelt down at Xiao Bai's feet.

This time, No. 9's escape was entirely due to his letting the wolf in.

It was when he learned that Yao Rong was interested in joining the institute that he sent someone to pick up Yao Rong from the Jiang Province base.

It was he who gave Yao Rong such high authority, allowing Yao Rong to do so many things under everyone's noses without being noticed or suspected.

No wonder Yao Rong was so caring towards No. 9, no wonder Yao Rong was willing to restore No. 9's consciousness regardless of her own safety. This was not out of a researcher's feelings towards a test subject, but out of a mother's feelings towards her son.

Dr. Chen did not dare to beg for mercy, he only hoped that Dr. Xiao Bai would be able to show some leniency for his past contributions.

"I hope the doctor will give me a chance to make up for my loyalty to him. I will do everything I can to bring back No. 9!"

Xiao Bai looked down at Dr. Chen calmly, and then glanced at the security captain who knelt down: "I don't need incompetent people under my command."

Dr. Chen and the security captain's faces instantly turned pale.

"However, it will take a lot of effort to rebuild this institute. You are still useful, so I will keep you alive."

Before Dr. Chen and the security captain could show their resurrection, several superpowers who were originally guarding Xiao Bai came forward and held them down, injecting them with unknown drugs.

The assistant walked past the two men and said to Xiao Bai, "Doctor, I will immediately notify the major bases that we are cooperating with, and ask them to cooperate with us as much as possible to capture No. 9."

"That woman named Yao Rong dared to betray the institute. After catching her, I will execute her according to the institute's rules."

Xiao Bai pushed the frame of his glasses with his fingertips, his eyes flashing with interest.

He smiled slightly: "No."

"In fact, I am more interested in Yao Rong than No. 9."

"Or rather, I am interested in the thing in her hand that can disable the weapon's autonomous attack capability and make the gate's command invalid."

Xiao Bai turned his head and looked at his assistant: "Besides, Yao Rong is No. 9's mother, things become more interesting."

"Since a mother's love for her son can allow her to lead her son to break through the sealed research institute. Then can I expect that maternal love can create miracles again, and this great mother will try her best to restore No. 9's physical and genetic condition to a normal human state?"

When talking about the two words "maternal love" and "great mother", Xiao Bai's tone was particularly sarcastic and cold.

***

Every time she encounters a fork in the road, Yao Rong will choose what she likes.

Even she herself didn't know her final destination, so it was even more impossible for those people in the research institute to determine her escape route.

After turning five times in a row, the road sign showed that there was a town ten kilometers ahead, so Yao Rong simply drove towards the town.

This motorcycle was a bit old, and the noise of the engine was very loud. As soon as it drove into the street, it startled the zombies hidden in various places on the street.

Yao Rong patrolled around and parked the car in front of a drugstore: "Let's go in."

Lu Fei relied on his long legs to step out of the back seat of the car, picked up a larger piece of broken glass on the ground, and walked into the drugstore first.

Less than half a minute later, his figure appeared at the door again, waved to Yao Rong, and motioned Yao Rong to come in.

As soon as Yao Rong entered the store, she saw a zombie lying in the middle of the shelf with glass stuck in its head, looking deader than dead.

The only danger in the store was solved, Yao Rong pulled down the door shutter and began to look for medicines.

The pharmacy had been visited many times, and the shelves were almost empty, with some messy medicines dropped on the ground. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, Yao Rong collected them all.

After searching for a while, she finally found the medicine that could stop bleeding and disinfect.

"Come here, I'll help you treat the wound." Yao Rong pulled over a chair and sat down, waving at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei lowered his head and looked at his bloody hand.

Compared with his attack power, speed, hearing, etc. that are beyond the scope of normal humans, his body's recovery ability is much worse than that of normal humans. Until now, his wounds have not healed, and blood drips from time to time.

There was a sound of fierce knocking on the door outside, obviously a zombie was attracted by the smell of fresh blood.

Seeing that he didn't move, Yao Rong knocked on the table: "Why are you standing there like an idiot."

Lu Fei walked up to her.

"There is only one chair in the room, you sit on the table."

Yao Rong disinfected and applied medicine to the wound with the weak sunlight coming in, and bandaged Lu Fei's wound with the only hemostatic bandage she found. Finally, she tied a beautiful and fancy bow for Lu Fei.

"Don't use this hand to fight zombies for the next few days."

Yao Rong took out some bread and a bottle of water from his backpack, and stuffed some medicines that might be used into the bag: "Let's have breakfast first. After that, we'll go collect supplies."

If nothing else, at least we have to find a weapon that suits Lu Fei first.

Lu Fei hasn't had a filling food like bread for a long time. Since he was locked up in the research institute, he has been relying on injections of nutrient solution to maintain his body functions. When

the soft bread entered his mouth, his tongue automatically secreted saliva, and Lu Fei tasted a light sweetness.

A smile appeared on his brows.

That's great!

For a foodie who has no hobbies and only likes delicious food, the most painful thing is not being able to eat with his mouth. The research institute is simply abusing the experimental subject in every way. They feed him nutrient solution by injection, and they are not even willing to let him taste what the nutrient solution tastes like!

But the food in the apocalypse is so scarce that it is good to be full. It is too difficult to eat well.

He will even have difficulty getting snacks in the future.

Lu Fei's expression suddenly fell again.

Destruction, he has one more reason to hate the apocalypse.

Yao Rong looked at Lu Fei's expression, which was sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, and couldn't help but find it funny: "I have bread with other flavors, give it to you."

Lu Fei curled the corners of his lips and reached out to take it.

This time he didn't waste any time and ate up the bread that Yao Rong brought him in no time.

He jumped off the table, put on his bag consciously, picked up an abacus from the front desk, opened the gate, and threw the abacus directly at the head of the zombie that was persistently banging on the door.

First the abacus broke.

Then, the zombie's brain also broke.

The difference between the two is that the abacus was smashed by the zombie's brain, while the zombie's brain was smashed by Lu Fei's hand.

When Lu Fei came into contact with the zombie's skin, he realized that something was wrong. He took a few steps to the side, but his pants and feet were still splashed with the zombie's rotten flesh.

Recalling the feeling of smashing tofu pudding just now, Lu Fei said: Ugh.

Being too strong is also a kind of pain.

What should he do if the brain of this low-level zombie is too soft for him?

No, he needs a weapon.

He can't tarnish the beautiful memory of tofu pudding in his mind.

There was a laugh from behind.

Yao Rong held the door, laughing.

Lu Fei wrote all his mental activities on his face, and she could easily understand what he was complaining about.

"Okay, okay, don't give up."

Receiving Lu Fei's resentful eyes, Yao Rong pointed at the zombies rushing towards them not far away and reminded: "If you don't run quickly, you will continue to kill zombies."

Lu Fei said nothing, immediately grabbed Yao Rong's arm and started running towards the hardware store.

This town is not big. Yao Rong and Lu Fei ran from the beginning to the end of the town, and did not encounter a living person at all. Instead, they saw a lot of corpses of zombie rats.

Judging from these corpses, this town may have experienced an attack by a group of zombie rats not long ago, and the living people were either assimilated into zombies or ran away.

It has to be said that Yao Rong and Lu Fei's luck was not very good. This town had obviously been looted many times. Yao Rong and Lu Fei searched everywhere but could not find any long-range weapons. Lu Fei had no choice but to drag his hammer with a look of resignation and embark on a journey of killing zombies.

While he was killing zombies, Yao Rong found two sets of jerseys suitable for Lu Fei in the supermarket, and also found a schoolbag.

The capacity of the schoolbag was not large, but it was better than nothing, and the more it could hold, the better.

Yao Rong picked out some necessities of life and put them in, and did not stop until the schoolbag was full.

As for food and water, he found only a little, just enough for two people to use for one meal.

When Lu Fei came back after killing the zombies, Yao Rong handed him the jersey and said, "Go change your clothes."

Although the silver-white lab coat on Lu Fei was resistant to dirt, it was too conspicuous. People would recognize at a glance that he had escaped from the research institute.

While changing clothes, Lu Fei glanced at the wound on his hand.

Even though he had not used this hand to kill the zombies just now, the wound on his hand was still bleeding, staining the white gauze red, with no sign of healing at all.

When Lu Fei came back after changing clothes, there were already two quilts on the ground. Yao Rong sat on one of the quilts and said solemnly, "Lu Fei, sit down."

Seeing her so serious, Lu Fei thought she had something important to tell him, so he quickly crossed his legs and sat opposite her.

The next second, he was stunned by her action.

Yao Rong held Lu Fei's right hand and untied the bandages one by one.

"Your body is very strong and very fragile. Now it seems that ordinary treatment methods are not very effective for you."

Lu Fei shook his head. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Dr. Yao's expression at the moment was very gentle.

So gentle that he was embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"I don't know if the healing ability will work on your injury." Yao Rong muttered to herself, and silently said "unblock" in her heart. The game bracelet appeared on her wrist again.

Lu Fei widened his eyes slightly.

He didn't expect that Dr. Yao would have a game bracelet.

Even he, who has amazing bones, didn't get this kind of magical thing.

It's just that the level of this game bracelet seems...

um, very low.

Well, even if he was lucky enough to have a game bracelet, Dr. Yao was still a cultured person who only liked to use his brain and didn't like fighting.

Yao Rong directly activated the game bracelet.

Under her activation, the originally ordinary bracelet emitted a faint milky white light, covering the back of Lu Fei's fingers.

This light lasted for less than two seconds before dissipating.

However, although the light lasted for a very short time, it was obvious that the bleeding rate of Lu Fei's wound was slower than before.

Yao Rong thought for a moment and concluded: "It seems that the healing ability is useful for you, but my current level is too low, and the effect is not very obvious."

Now that her ability has been exhausted, even if the medical treatment has little effect on Lu Fei, it is better than nothing.

At least it can prevent the wound from getting infected.

So Yao Rong applied medicine to Lu Fei again.

"When my bracelet is upgraded, any injuries you encounter in the future will be healed quickly."

Lu Fei lowered his eyes.

Dr. Yao had the bracelet for half a year and it was still level 1. It was obvious that she had no interest in upgrading the bracelet.

But now she suddenly wanted to upgrade it. Was it because...

she wanted to help him heal his injuries?

As if knowing what Lu Fei was thinking, Yao Rong patted Lu Fei on the shoulder: "Yes, you see, after my ability is upgraded, the person who will benefit the most will definitely be you, right? So, from now on, you will be responsible for catching zombies, and I will be responsible for killing zombies and upgrading. Just leave all the dirty work of killing zombies to me, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Lu Fei: "..."

Leave the dirty work to her, and the tiring work to him, right?

Damn, the crisp sound of the abacus has already disturbed his ears.

Forget it.

Lu Fei comforted himself.

Although it is a bit troublesome to do this, at least he can stay away from the pain of chopping zombies like chopping tofu brain from now on.

So Lu Fei nodded to Yao Rong resignedly, agreeing to Yao Rong's proposal, and even got up from the ground, planning to catch a few zombies for Yao Rong to chop.

Yao Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him: "There is no rush to upgrade. Compared with killing zombies, what you need to do now is to rest. You can't overdraw your body anymore."

After hearing Yao Rong's words, Lu Fei realized that he was sleepy. As the sleepiness came up, his eyelids drooped.

"Have a good sleep first. After you wake up, I'll make millet porridge for you." While lying on the soft quilt, Lu Fei faintly heard Yao Rong's voice.

He didn't know how he fell asleep in the end.

But he knew that he woke up by smelling the aroma of food.

When he opened his eyes, the sky outside had brightened up again. Yao Rong was sitting on the bed next to him, looking at the map of Ping'an City and its surroundings. Millet porridge was bubbling in a pot not far away, emitting the fragrance of millet.

Lu Fei turned over, feeling lazy and not wanting to move.

After the end of the world, he had not stayed in bed again.

So, stay in bed a little longer. Wait

until Dr. Yao calls him to get up and have breakfast before getting up again.

Half asleep and half awake, he felt someone walking up to him, and a warm light fell on his right hand. The wound that had troubled him all day finally stopped bleeding successfully.
