Chapter 20 Civilized Sinner 20

After Yan Qiusi and the other two left, something strange happened to Yan Nan in the room without any warning.

What the shadow man injected into him just now was the earliest mother strain of the zombie virus that was discovered to have mutated several times later. It was an ancient virus that Yan Nan discovered from an underground plant.

In all previous experiments, all mice injected with the virus died from rapid organ failure without exception. It was as if there was a legendary life-sucking monster hanging over the heads of all the mice.

Obviously, because of the 100% mortality rate, Yan Qiusi naturally injected it into Yan Nan's body as if it were poison to silence him.

Originally, Yan Nan was almost going to die here, but the one in a billion chance of mutation fell on him.

After he merged with the mother virus in his body.

Resurrected.

There was a large puddle of blood in the room, and in the middle was a person lying on the ground, with his long hair and white clothes soaked in blood.

The room was originally extremely quiet. Not even the sound of anyone breathing could be heard. Only the occasional chirping of a sparrow on the branch outside the window could be heard.

At this moment, there was a splashing sound in the room. The birds outside the window flapped their wings and flew away, scattering as if they had seen something.

Yan Nan propped himself up from the ground and raised his head with a confused look on his face.

Before he could react, the door was suddenly broken open from the outside.

"Don't move!" An angry shout rang out from the air, followed by the sound of guns being loaded, the sound of water splashed by combat boots in the room, and the interns' gasps after seeing the dire state of the room.

In just a few seconds, Yan Nan, with a confused look on his face, was surrounded by the special forces who had rushed over.

After confirming that the scene was under control, the leader turned on the headset and called the headquarters. "This is the third team. We have arrived at the scene. There are many victims and the deaths were horrific. The suspect has been controlled and will be brought back to the headquarters shortly."

"Got it. Do you need any support?" A simple female voice came from the other end of the headset.

"The situation at the scene is complicated and we are short of manpower. Please send support as soon as possible to protect the scene and collect evidence."

"Got it." The contact person at the headquarters put down the phone and nodded to the director at another table in the room.

The young director had his legs crossed on the desk, with some traces of shock still on his face.

She leaned back in her chair, propped her head with one hand, and after thinking for a while, she slammed her fist on the table and said loudly, "So what that ghost said on the phone was actually true!"

"Oh my god, this is a huge case. Hurry! Report it to the higher-ups and let them notify all the higher-ups!"

—

Just three hours ago, an intern who had just started work at the Qingshan City Special Investigation Team received a call from a concerned citizen, who provided detailed clues about the source of the virus and the suspect in a certain research institute.

The huge amount of information on the phone overwhelmed the intern. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to delay and reported the matter immediately.

When the director of the director's office heard the news, she spat out a mouthful of coffee on the spot. She wiped her mouth and asked in disbelief, "You mean, you received a call from a concerned citizen on the phone on the desk?"

"Yes, that's right." The intern replied uncomfortably.

"How is this possible? Your phone can only be used to contact colleagues within the bureau! How can an enthusiastic citizen call into our channel internal line? You, go check for me, check whether the person who called is a human or a ghost." After saying this, she immediately assigned the task to her subordinates.

"As for you, you should go back first." She then looked at the intern.

"Oh - okay, but this report on the phone... do we need to record it?" The intern was reprimanded by his leader in a hurry, but he still did not forget the purpose of the initial reminder.

"Yes." The director waved his hand, "Go to the third floor and ask Captain Li to handle it."

Wang An is a doctoral student who just came here to study last week. On weekdays, the institute is always neat and tidy and quiet, but today, for some reason, it was empty everywhere.

At the gate, all the researchers gathered together, talking noisily.

Wang An struggled to squeeze to the front of the crowd from the back. After seeing several police cars parked at the gate, he understood what was going on in an instant.

But new problems soon arose. Looking at the SWAT members getting off the car in an orderly line, did something happen in the institute?

The people around were obviously confused as well, and there were all kinds of speculations among them.

"What's going on, do you know?"

"What happened?"

"Could it be that someone is dead?"

"Could it be that the one who is good at catching fish got caught?"

"Keep your voice down—what if it's not?"

"Stop talking. Stop talking."

"Oh, they brought someone back, and that person is - damn, why is it him?"

The crowd suddenly quieted down when they saw the man being handcuffed and forced into the car.

Wang An moved with everyone's heads, so he did not miss this scene.

The cold winter sun had just risen, and the research institute was still shrouded in a white haze.

Under the control of several special forces members dressed in black, Yan Nan, covered in blood, was brought out of the building.

Why is it him? Wang An thought about the time he met this famous senior Yan a few hours ago. He still looked clean, decent and handsome.

How much time had passed, and now most of his face was covered in blood. The glaring light blurred his facial features, and only a pair of eyes drooping tiredly could be seen on the red wall.

His wrists were handcuffed behind his back and one hand was pressing on the back of his neck. He had to walk with his body bent over, and his long hair soaked in blood swayed with his movements.

He kept his eyes down the whole time, and was taken away silently without any resistance.

Everyone watched him being taken into the police car in silence. After seeing the SWAT car leave, they suddenly became noisy again.

"What's going on? Has a murder really happened?"

"hiss--"

"Too scary?"

"Who is the victim? His father?"

"Stop talking, I feel a little cold."

—

After being taken back as a suspect in a major case, Yan Nan was immediately interrogated.

In the cold interrogation room, "Don't you have anything to confess?"

There was silence in the room.

Yan Nan remained silent throughout, no matter how he was questioned.

The special team members were discussing in a room on the other side where they could see the interrogation room screen.

"He won't say anything." Someone sighed.

"He's already guilty of this." Someone muttered.

"But there are still many suspicious points at the scene. This is too hasty." Someone questioned.

"Ah." Someone pushed open the door. "Sorry to interrupt, there's a strange phone call."

"Isn't that our channel internal?" Someone laughed dryly. But the atmosphere in the conference room did not become relaxed because of his joke.

Everyone waited for the call with a serious look on their faces.

—

Twenty minutes ago, the Hound Team, which had been tracking Yan Qiusi's whereabouts, entered the research institute.

The research institute was empty, as if they had learned the news in advance and had all staff evacuated. If this was the case, they were lucky.

However, when they discovered the abnormality, a strange humanoid creature had already bitten the forearm of the tail team member.

The team member was frightened by something that suddenly popped out and he jumped up and down, waving his arms continuously. He didn't have time to find out what bit him and could only pitifully ask for help from his teammates.

"Me! I seem to be attacked by a giant monkey! Someone come and help me."

But his teammates ignored him and gathered together, back to back, holding their weapons and looking alertly at the quiet and seemingly deserted surroundings.

The team member who led the charge looked around in confusion, but there was clearly nothing.

But the next second.

From the front and back entrances.

In front of the windows in the east, south, west and north directions.

From behind the cupboard.

Under the desk.

From the indoor pool.

Even in the ventilation ducts.

One, two, three, four... countless zombies with bruised faces and black pupils appeared in an instant.

A hopeless silence spread, but none of the Hound Team members present showed any fear or retreat.

The sound of guns being loaded rang out in unison, and then the blindfolded captain gave the order, "Everyone break out."

Countless zombies rushed up in an instant.

…

The last one didn't escape.

Cui Jin held the contactor and hid in the corner behind the door, dragging his two bleeding thighs.

He had to spread the news here as soon as possible, otherwise if these monsters were allowed to spread out, the social impact would be immeasurable.

The signal was then connected to the nearest special investigation team in Qingshan City.

After the call was connected, the conference room fell into silence when the news of their complete defeat was heard over the phone.

"Zombie virus?"

"How do we deal with this?"

"Will that protective suit work?"

Before they could quarrel for long, even bigger chaos spread in from outside.

"ah----"

A scream of panic and fear drowned out all other sounds.

Someone opened the door quickly, "What happened——"

The words got stuck in his throat, and then mydriasis quickly spread to the face of the person who had just come out.

On the streets outside, at the entrance of the shopping mall, and in the homes of countless residents.

One after another, countless humans around the world who had been perfectly normal just seconds ago began to shrink and deform rapidly, their skin rotted and their pupils turned black, and finally within just a few minutes they turned into half-dead monsters.

Those who had mutated into zombies, and ordinary people who had unexpectedly escaped the mutation for unknown reasons, began to flee everywhere due to the relationship between predators and prey.

When looking down from a tall building, it looks like two schools of fish swimming in opposite directions are bumped into each other by the rushing river water.

Now no one has time to cause trouble for Yan Nan.

The world is in chaos.

Yan Nanwo was lying on the reclining chair in the interrogation room. His mind was in a fuzzy state. He had not noticed any unusual changes in the outside world. His eyelids drooped and he almost fell asleep.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and a man suddenly appeared.

He said, "I'm here to get you out, Dr. Yan."

Yan Nan glanced at him slowly. The person who came was Lin Ye, whom he had not found before.
