Shangguan Wan used her mind to take out a cup of spiritual spring water from the space, and a rich and refreshing fragrance came to her nose. Old Xu's nostrils moved. This was a very special fragrance. After smelling it, he felt comfortable all over his body, even his skin was relaxing. Old Xu stared at the quilt with his eyes, wanting to know what kind of water it was. It didn't have such a strong fragrance. He really wanted to study the ingredients in it. He stared at the quilt in Shangguan Wan's hand with his eyes fixed, and his fingers rubbed subconsciously, with an urge to grab it at any time.
Shangguan Wan's eyes were fixed on Scorpion, but from the corner of her eye she was watching every move of Elder Xu and Xu Cheng across from her. A hint of tentativeness was brewing in her heart. Seeing Elder Xu's eager eyes, Shangguan Wan's brows furrowed, and she felt the urge to drop the cup in her hand. But then she realized that she couldn't keep this secret for much longer. Furthermore, Xu Cheng had previously taken the spiritual spring from the child's umbilical cord blood. Xu Cheng knew something, but he hadn't made it public, which meant he was the only one who knew. Now, looking at Elder Xu's expression, she knew that Xu Cheng hadn't even told his grandfather, which was a waste of her saving their lives. But now, in Elder Xu's eyes, there was a curiosity about the cup of water, and considering the nature of his job, it made sense.
Shangguan Wan looked at Mr. Xu and said, "Bring a cup over here. I'll save some for you. I don't have much either, so be frugal." Shangguan Wan clearly told Mr. Xu, "I can give you some, but I don't have much either, so once you use it up, there will be nothing left." When Mr. Xu heard Shangguan Wan's words, he staggered with excitement, quickly ran to the test bench, took out a medium-sized measuring cup, and quickly returned to Shangguan Wan, waiting for her to pour more.
Han Lie narrowed his eyes and said nothing. When he turned to look at Scorpion, he found that he had already hidden in the corner of the glass wall, scratching the glass with his hands. Several black bloodstains were left on the transparent glass, flowing down the glass.
A shrewd look flashed in Han Lie's deep eyes. So that's how it is. This would be much more convenient. At least if he could find what he feared, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to pry open his mouth.
"Scorpion, from the moment you leaked state secrets, you were doomed to die. Now that you are in our hands, even if there is no military court, I can still judge you, because I now represent the country and the people. We have all the records of what you have done," Han Lie looked at Scorpion with a sharp, hawk-like gaze, and recounted the evidence of Scorpion's crimes bit by bit.
Seeing Scorpion's lack of reaction to what he said surprised Han Lie, but he also remembered something: Shangguan Wan had said that zombies were mindless, which meant he had likely forgotten all about it. This was problematic, as many things would be lost. We wouldn't even know why he was in this state. This would mean the matter would remain an unsolved mystery, which would be of no help to them, and bringing him back would be meaningless.
"Scorpion, do you still remember what happened to you and how you became like this? We just found that there were no bite wounds on your body, so how did you mutate?" Han Lie deliberately concealed the fact that he didn't know that it was a red rain that caused this scene, and wanted to test everything that Scorpion knew.
Scorpion's hand, stained with black blood, paused on the glass for a moment before he began scratching it again and again, painting the glass with black dye. However, Han Lie understood from his initial movements that Scorpion was not without memory, and that he must know something.
"Open the door," Shangguan Wan said to Han Lie lightly, holding a cup of water in her hand.
"No, you can't go in, I'll go in," Han Lie stopped her immediately. He didn't want her to get hurt, not to mention that the scorpion was a dangerous creature now.
"I won't go in, just let the water go in." Shangguan Wan's lips curled up with an evil smile, a cunning flash in her eyes, and her slender hands shook the wall of the cup, and the crystal water swayed in the cup.
Han Lie smiled faintly. She is very clever.
The big hand with thin calluses took the water cup from Shangguan Wan's hand, turned around and nodded at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng clicked a few times on the control panel on the wall, and a small door appeared in the middle of the glass with a click. Han Lie saw the time and tilted the cup in his hand half a degree when the door opened, and poured it towards the scorpion at the corner.
The moment the door opened, Scorpion also took action, and the fireball in his hand rushed towards the gap with a hint of heat, but what he didn't expect was that when Han Lie poured the cup of water in his hand out, it just hit the fireball coming from the opposite side.
"Puff" a puff of white smoke came with the sound of fire being extinguished. The fireball was too big and dispersed a lot of the power of the water. Water splashed everywhere and some landed on the scorpion's body and arms. The scorpion splashed with water felt like it was pricked by a needle and dodged quickly. A large water stain was splashed on the back of its hand. Han Lie and Shangguan Wan clearly saw that the skin splashed by the water was burned and even corroded, revealing the black hand bones with a hint of white.
"So that's how it is," Shangguan Wan murmured, thinking about something.
Han Lie immediately understood that if the virus is the dirtiest thing, then the spiritual spring is the purest. The spiritual spring is actually the nemesis of the virus. As long as a method is found, it can be suppressed or eradicated.
"Mr. Xu, go and study this glass of water. We need to see if there are any incompatible things." Han Lie urged excitedly, completely losing his composure.
Trembling slightly, Elder Xu quickly ran to a white analyzer and used a dropper to take a small tube of spiritual spring water and placed it on the instrument for scanning. Instantly, dense data appeared on the computer.
Mr. Xu was a little excited when he stared at the data. He had never seen such data before. This was a kind of data that came from the purest thing, without any impurities. There were also many things that he couldn't put into words. This was a magical thing.
"Haha" a rough and hoarse laugh came from the glass door.
This caused everyone to look at Scorpion, wanting to know what he was laughing at.
"Who are you?" the intermittent words sounded again
Everyone looked at Scorpion, but it was obvious that Scorpion was looking at Shangguan Wan. His red eyeballs always made Han Lie feel angry.
"Shangguan Wan" said this lightly, without a trace or fear.
"You are clearly not here, how can you exist? How did you appear? How did you appear? I can foresee everything, why are you not here? Why?" The scorpion's hands opened into claws as if grabbing someone.
"What foresight"
"Haha, everyone thinks that people turning into zombies is red rain from the sky, it's God's will. Hahaha, what a joke, stupid, ignorant." Scorpion said self-deprecatingly.
"What do you mean, isn't it?"
"Of course not, someone did it on purpose." Scorpion suddenly laughed wildly. Little did he know that his words had shocked everyone there. This was man-made, not a natural disaster.
"Who is it?" Several people looked at Scorpion angrily and asked angrily
"It's me, hahahaha." Scorpion was not afraid of being killed by them at all. He roared wantonly and explained the reason. This answer also shocked Shangguan Wan and the others.
It turned out that this was not a natural disaster at all but a war with a country. Country N wanted to take over their country, but had never dared to fight openly, so it used such despicable means and even used biological weapons against them, resulting in the deaths of so many innocent people. Moreover, they actually wanted to annex three countries at once, but they did not expect the virus to spread so quickly and hurt more people at once. This was something they could not have predicted, and it was something they could not make up for even if they were torn to pieces.
"Do you know where this virus came from? Where is their research institute? Is there any way to control it?" Han Lie stared at Scorpion, wishing he could skin him alive.
"Did you see the wound on my neck? It's because I was their test subject, and I was the successful one. After I was injected, I didn't go berserk, nor did I lose my humanity or rationality. I had everything, including human intelligence, thoughts, and so on. During the second injection, I had a crystal core. At the same time, I discovered something they didn't know, that is, I had the ability to predict the future. I could foresee what would happen next, so I took advantage of the time when someone in the institute became ill and escaped with the drug. I even killed those researchers, hahaha." Scorpion narrated everything calmly.
"You know, without me, you psychics wouldn't exist. I left the institute with the potion and the virus, intending to flee by plane. Unexpectedly, there was a thunderstorm that night, and the lightning struck my plane, causing it to explode and burn. It also destroyed my virus. The bottle of virus cracked, and the contents leaked out inside the plane. The virus shifted with the cold air, staining the clouds red, resulting in red rain. Every raindrop carried the virus, mutating anyone who came in contact with it. I was forced to parachute down to the nearest hilltop, escaping with my life."
"At that time, I knew I had made a big mistake, so on the third day, I figured it out and smashed the potion in my hand. The potion began to spread through the air, and you will understand what happened next." The scorpion suddenly lay on the ground motionless. Like a person waiting to die.
