The others did not agree with Qiao An'an's idea regarding Dr. Yu's matter.
Chen Zhou said, "We have the bodies, so they must be dead. But I still don't understand what Ya Ya meant when she said that people are going to be missing here every day."
Not only Shen Zhou couldn't understand the meaning behind Ya Ya's words, but neither could anyone else.
At this moment, Qiao An'an's words plunged everyone into deep thought: "When we arrived, Tian Mingbo was already dead. We haven't found anyone else on the submarine after our investigation. That means there are only those children left in this laboratory. These children are only a little over a year old. How are they going to survive in the submarine? Or did the people in the laboratory anticipate that we would come to help them take care of these children?"
Chen Zhou: "If they had anticipated that we would come to take care of the children, they wouldn't have sent those research submarines to attack us."
Qiao An'an: "You mean, they thought the people on the submarine would kill us and then come back to take care of the children, but they didn't expect to be killed by us, so there are no survivors in the lab now?"
Shen Zhou nodded, and the others also felt that this was the most likely possibility at present.
Qiao An'an still felt something was wrong: "Why did Tian Mingbo die? He was already dead before we arrived. And what about what Ya Ya said about people disappearing every day?"
These were questions that no one could answer.
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the lab: "Mommy!!!"
Upon hearing the shout, Qiao An'an rushed towards the laboratory. As soon as she entered, she saw Fang Yuyang entangled with the already dead Tian Mingbo.
Li Jianguo tried to help, but Tian Mingbo slapped him away.
That kind of force is definitely not something Tian Mingbo, with his Mediterranean hairline and beer belly, could have done. He must have been infected, and with a more advanced virus at that, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to exert such force.
If it really is a third-generation virus, then everyone here who gets bitten will turn into a zombie.
Chen Zhou cried out anxiously, "Fang Yuyang, don't let him bite you!"
Qiao An'an drew the longsword she had been carrying outside her diving suit, intending to decapitate Tian Mingbo. However, the zombified Tian Mingbo was unusually agile, and each time she tried to strike, the zombified Tian Mingbo used Fang Yuyang as a shield: "Goodness, this thing is pretty smart!!!"
Fang Yuyang was being beaten so badly by Tian Mingbo, who had turned into a zombie, that he was completely powerless to fight back.
He was about to be bitten on the neck.
Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo each grabbed Tian Mingbo's arm after he turned into a zombie, while Yan Ling jumped directly onto Tian Mingbo's back and held him firmly in place.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qiao An'an swiftly chopped off the head of Tian Mingbo, who had turned into a zombie.
When Chi Xiaoyu and Ye Jing arrived at the scene, Tian Mingbo's head had already been severed. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Chi Xiaoyu and Ye Jing breathed a sigh of relief and told everyone that the Imperial Capital Safe Zone had sent people over: "Should we continue to wait here, or should we leave first?"
Qiao An'an did not hear what Chi Xiaoyu and Ye Jing said.
Because at this moment, she was observing the children sitting in the cribs with a scrutinizing gaze.
It wasn't until Chi Xiaoyu called her name several times and asked what she was doing that she snapped out of her daze, pointed at one of the children, and asked everyone, "Don't you guys think these children are strange?"
Everyone heard what Qiao An'an said.
Everyone turned their attention to the children, and even Ya Ya stood on tiptoe to look at the doll in the crib.
After watching for a while, Ya Ya replied seriously, "They really are strange. They're too good-looking, even better-looking than Ya Ya. They don't seem real!"
Everyone was amused by Ya Ya's answer.
Shen Zhou thought, "These children are not strange in any way except that they are good-looking and well-behaved."
Qiao An'an asked in confusion, "Don't you think these children are too calm when they are being bitten by zombies? Look closely at their eyes, they don't look like the eyes of a one-year-old child at all."
Ye Jing and Chi Xiaoyu also felt that the child's eyes seemed to tell a story.
Yan Ling didn't even look at it: "Just listen to me and throw it away."
Fang Yuyang had read some introductions about artificial wombs before. He said to Qiao An'an, "Children raised in artificial wombs can have their DNA sequences recombined. Since the goal is to make them the only remaining humans in the world, it's natural to give them the best looks and the most outstanding intelligence. It's not surprising that their eyes look mature and steady, is it?"
Qiao An'an has no knowledge of gene recombination or anything like that.
She doesn't understand these things.
All I can do is look to Chi Xiaoyu, the top student here.
Chi Xiaoyu said that artificial wombs can indeed select for more outstanding genes: "But whether they will look more stable and intelligent after they are born is unknown. Even though artificial wombs were developed a long time ago, relevant departments did not allow artificial wombs to conceive life before the apocalypse, so there are no reports about such children."
After listening to Fang Yuyang and Chi Xiaoyu's analysis, Qiao An'an realized that she might be being a bit too sensitive.
Deciding not to pursue the matter any further, he asked Chi Xiaoyu, "What were you saying just now? I didn't quite catch what you were saying."
Chi Xiaoyu: "We're wondering whether to wait here for the people from the Imperial Capital Safe Zone to arrive, or to leave first?"
Qiao An'an and the others have already checked the submarine and there is no threat inside. These children should be safe if they stay here for half a day without crying or making a fuss.
In addition, the place is eerie in every way.
This made her very uncomfortable, so she said, "After we go out, I don't plan to go back to the safe zone. Are you planning to go back later?"
