Chapter 97 Extras

Extras: Continuation (Part 1)

Lu Fei and his team rushed to the Hope Base day and night. After turning the tide, they should have stayed here to rest for a while and left after their injuries were healed.

But someone said, "If we go back later, the sunflowers in the research institute will wither." Everyone looked at each other for a moment and unanimously decided to return to the Southwest Base within the flowering period.

The day they arrived at the Southwest Base, the sky was gloomy and it was drizzling.

Lu Fei sat in the car, closed his eyes and rested.

Even with his strength, it was still too much for him to fight the five zombie kings alone.

That battle caused him a lot of consumption. Even though it had been half a month, his strength had only recovered less than 10%, so he had been staying in the car to rest these days and rarely showed up.

Suddenly, low exclamations spread from all around.

Lu Fei slowly opened his eyes and turned his head casually.

Then he was stunned.

The avenue leading to the Southwest Base was full of people wearing black clothes and holding black umbrellas.

They looked solemn and silent. I don’t know how long they have been standing here, just waiting for the hero’s triumphant return.

Ye Ningyun, who was standing aside, covered her mouth with her eyes slightly red.

When the people of the Hope Base watched them leave, she held back her tears, but this time, when the people of the Southwest Base came to take them home, she couldn’t hold back any more.

A day later, the Southwest Base held a grand funeral for all the sacrificed soldiers.

Even more people came to attend this funeral.

They lined up in an orderly manner, and when they arrived at the tomb, they bent down and placed a sunflower to express their grief, and then quietly turned and left.

Yao Rong was the last one to come forward.

She stood quietly in front of the tombstone for a while, her eyes swept across the photos, and finally slid to Lu Fei, Ye Ningyun, Shi Qingyue and others beside her.

"Let's go down the mountain." She said gently.

Lu Fei nodded and took the lead to take a step forward.

Ye Ningyun and the others then supported each other and followed the pace of Yao Rong and Lu Fei.

Yao Rong reminded them as they walked: "The institute has prepared medicine for each of you. Remember to take the medicine immediately after returning to the dormitory. This will help you recover from your injuries."

"The military has also approved a one-month vacation for you. You don't have to stay in the institute for this month."

Ye Ningyun said stupidly: "If we don't stay in the institute, where can we go?"

Yao Rong said naturally: "We can go home."

Ye Ningyun's question sounds a bit silly, but it just shows that in their subconscious, there is no option of "going home".

The house is registered in their name, but in the past few years, they have rarely been to the house. Occasionally, they will not stay overnight in the house for fear of causing trouble to the neighbors.

In the past, the time was not ripe and Yao Rong did not persuade them, but now, it is time for them to take another step forward.

As long as this step is taken successfully, from then on, they will be able to smoothly return to the crowd and integrate into the society.

Ye Ningyun was stunned.

She subconsciously looked at Shi Qingyue beside her.

Both of them sensed uneasiness and expectation in each other's eyes.

"Ah, if I go home, there will be no one to cook for me..." Zheng Ming complained in a low voice.

Yao Rong said to Zheng Ming: "The cafeteria of the institute will not be open this month. You have no place to eat if you stay in the institute."

Zheng Ming made a bitter face. Shi

Qingyue was the smartest one among them. He guessed the intention of Yao Rong's words at the first time: she hoped to push them in this way and let them have the courage to take that step.

"You can bring food with you, and you can eat three meals a day at my house. We live close anyway." Shi Qingyue was the first to express his opinion.

"You can also come to my house to eat." Ye Ningyun also spoke up, "My father's cooking is delicious."

"My mother's dumplings are also good." Someone else said from behind.

"Ah... Is it only my parents who cook so-so?"

"Do you dare to repeat this to your parents?"

"No, please spare me."

Everyone rested in the institute for a night. Early the next morning, they carried the medicines prepared by the institute and got on the car arranged by the army.

The car took them directly to the vicinity of their home, and the noise it made when it stopped attracted the attention of many people.

"Why did you suddenly go home today? I saw your family last night, and they were still talking about going to the institute to visit you."

An old man with a kind face asked with a smile.

"How are you recovering? Oh, the fur is burnt, this is a genuine tiger skin coat, it's a pity to burn it, the last time I saw you, I thought your fur was particularly shiny and smooth."

The owner of the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley looked at Shi Qingyue, his tone was full of regret.

"How long will you stay at home this time? Stay a little longer before returning to the institute."

"That's right, stay a little longer, every time you come back, you leave in a hurry."

"Okay, okay, why are you surrounding the children? You scared them, let them go home and rest, they are still injured."

Everyone was talking at once, and Ye Ningyun, Shi Qingyue and others didn't get a chance to say anything, and they were surrounded and walked into the alley.

This enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming.

But this enthusiasm also completely dispelled the last bit of doubt in Ye Ningyun and Shi Qingyue's hearts.

They all settled down at home with peace of mind.

What made them even happier was that the horns and hair had become a part of their bodies. As their injuries gradually recovered, the horns and hair slowly grew back. They were

even smoother than before they were damaged.

The former breakfast shop owner saw Shi Qingyue again and slapped his thigh in excitement: "Look, what did I say, this kid's hair is so good, he doesn't need to wear extra clothes in winter."

The proprietress said: "It may be a little hot in the summer."

This kind of good-natured teasing made Shi Qingyue curl the corners of his lips.

He explained: "It's warm in winter and cool in summer, so it won't be hot."

The proprietress was amused by him and insisted on treating him to buns.

It was hard to refuse the kindness of the proprietress, so Shi Qingyue had to accept the proprietress's kindness and took Ye Ningyun and others to patronize the store the next day. When Shi Qingyue

and others reintegrated into the crowd, Lu Fei was lying on the bed. In

autumn, there is always more rain in the Southwest Base than in other seasons. The drizzle beats rhythmically on the window, and with the current temperature that is neither cold nor hot, it makes people drowsy.

So Lu Fei would have finished his morning exercise at this time on normal days, but today he is still staying in bed.

He rubbed his pillow with his cheek, feeling lazy all over, and was too lazy to even move a finger. It was not

until Yao Rong came over and knocked on the door, urging him to get up and have breakfast several times that Lu Fei reluctantly got up and opened the door for Yao Rong: "I don't want to have breakfast today, I want to sleep until the afternoon before getting up."

Yao Rong crossed his arms and looked at Lu Fei with a messy hair with amusement: "If people knew that the general Lu Fei they admired was begging to stay in bed for a few more hours, they would definitely be shocked."

Lu Fei ruffled his hair even more messy: "Who doesn't like to stay in bed?"

After the end of the world, he had very few opportunities to stay in bed.

Looking back, the last time he stayed in bed was before he joined the army.

"By the way, why haven't you gone to the research institute today?"

Yao Rong: "I'm taking a break today too."

Lu Fei was shocked: "Is the zombie vaccine ready?"

Yao Rong: "Not yet, the research has hit a new bottleneck. It just so happens that everyone hasn't had a vacation for a long time, so I'll give everyone two days off."

Researching zombie vaccines is a big project that requires countless manpower and time. Letting everyone take a good rest for a day is also for better subsequent work.

Ten years have passed, and these two days are not a big deal.

Seeing that Lu Fei wanted to ask more, Yao Rong waved his hand: "Okay, go to bed. But you can only sleep until noon. If you miss breakfast, don't miss lunch."

Watching the door in front of her close again, Yao Rong stood there for a while, turned her foot, and turned into her room.

Well, she doesn't eat breakfast either.

This weather is really suitable for sleeping in.

At

the end of the month, the Southwest Base held a ceremony to award honors.

Ye Ningyun, Shi Qingyue and others were promoted to lieutenant colonels, while Lu Fei was promoted to lieutenant general by virtue of his achievement of killing five zombie kings.

After breaking the record of "the youngest major general in history", he became the youngest lieutenant general in history.

On the green epaulettes of pine branches, the golden branches and two golden star emblems complement each other, symbolizing the rising of a general star.

Cold, summer, spring and autumn, it is another good season of the year, and the usually quiet Southwest Research Institute suddenly burst into a fierce cheer.

In the twelfth year of the apocalypse, the Southwest Research Institute finally successfully developed a zombie vaccine.

As long as the zombie vaccine is injected, even if people are caught by zombies, they will not be infected with the zombie virus and transformed into zombies.

It can be said that this not only greatly improves people's safety, but also greatly curbs the growth trend of the number of zombies!

From now on, the growth rate of zombies will be much lower than its reduction rate. Sooner or later, humans will completely eliminate zombies!

Fang Shaoyuan soon learned the news, and in his excitement, he said three "good" words.

After his emotions calmed down a little, Yao Rong began to introduce him to the situation of the zombie vaccine in detail.

The cost of the zombie vaccine is definitely high in the early stage, but Yao Rong is already trying to control the cost.

For the vaccine to work, a person must be injected once every three months until four injections are completed to form a complete antibody.

At the current rate, if everything goes well, within two years, everyone in the entire Southwest Base will be able to be injected with the zombie vaccine.

Fang Shaoyuan had a serious chat with Yao Rong for a whole morning, and then convened a meeting of the top leaders of the base for an afternoon. The next morning, he made a public speech on the radio to announce the good news to the people of the entire base.

Not long after, other bases also heard about this.

The phone of the Southwest Base was once again bombarded by other bases.

"We know the old rules of the Southwest Base." A base commander said loudly, "You name a price, and our base will exchange the technology of the zombie vaccine with you at any cost."

Fang Shaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What old rules?

They used to exchange technology for supplies because the Southwest Base was in serious shortage of supplies.

But in recent years, with Yao Rong, Lu Fei, Song Xiuping, and the experimental army... the development of the Southwest Base has been rapid, and they are now completely self-sufficient and no longer need to exchange technology for supplies. They can even provide vaccines to the people of the base for free.

"This time, the Southwest Base will open this technology to all major bases free of charge."
