Chapter 51
Jiang Ning was wearing a thick scarf. After wrapping it twice, half of his face was covered, and the mask could not be seen. As for the handcuffs on his hands, the two of them held hands tightly, and Qin Xu even held his hands and put them in his pocket, blocking them with his sleeves. Unless you look closely, you can't see them.
The two came out of the house. Liao Feng, who was waiting at the door, looked anxious. He nodded to greet Jiang Ning and hurried to the elevator: "Boss, this is so weird. Those zombies, they, they..."
He scratched his head, unable to find the right words and didn't know what to say.
Judging from the way he was scratching his head, almost wanting to pull all his hair out, this zombie mutation must be really strange.
The three of them stood in the elevator. Liao Feng looked at Jiang Ning's figure reflected in the elevator, scratched his head, and suddenly remembered that there was a zombie here.
I'm a little curious about the little boss. Has there been any changes?
But the little boss was covered tightly and behaved like a little chick beside the big boss. There was no difference between him and usual.
Jiang Ning lowered his eyes, and the messy thoughts in his head gradually calmed down. Feeling the warmth coming from Qin Xu's palm, he secretly glanced at Qin Xu, especially staring at Qin Xu's neck, looking at the flesh he wanted to bite before, but now he had no urge to bite anyone at all.
Jiang Ning was confused for a moment, wondering if she had made a mistake before.
He frowned. No, he was not mistaken. He really wanted to bite someone at that time.
He felt that the reason why he didn't want to bite anyone was because his soul was foreign and normal and had not been invaded by the zombie virus. However, this body was infected with the zombie virus after all. In the case of collective mutation of zombies, the aggressiveness of the zombie virus increased, which instead overwhelmed his soul and controlled him.
But now he has suppressed the zombie virus again and controlled this body.
What about next time?
If the zombie virus mutates again, can he survive?
The three of them reached the experimental building as quickly as possible. Last time, Jiang Ning was just waiting outside. After entering, there were bright lights everywhere. Everything was almost white, or metallic silver, or glass.
It looks cold and cruel.
Here, only the blood of the test subjects is red, the blood of zombies.
They study zombies, try to find the weaknesses of the zombie virus, try to develop a vaccine, and so on.
After arriving here, Qin Xu held Jiang Ning's hand, and his thumb kept gently stroking the back of Jiang Ning's hand to comfort him.
Jiang Ning did feel a little relieved, and clung to him tightly like a piece of gum candy. The two of them were almost walking, and their legs were about to fight.
Jiang Ning's eyes widened when he opened a heavy laboratory door. There was a glass room inside the laboratory with about 30 zombies inside.
Jiang Ning judged that these people were zombies because they were covered in blood, had tattered clothes, had some wounds, and were locked up.
Because without these factors, they don't look like zombies at all. Zombies' eyes are wooden and empty, but their eyes are alive and colorful.
The moment they came in, the zombies turned their heads to look at them and looked them up and down.
There were more than 30 zombies, and one was standing alone in the front. He looked almost no different from a normal person. When Jiang Ning's eyes met his, she felt a shudder coming from deep within her body.
This reminded him of the zombie boss in the library. There was no doubt that this zombie was the boss of these zombies.
He moved his feet fearfully and hid behind Qin Xu. For some reason, he didn't want the other person to notice him.
"Boss, come here quickly, this is something new."
Zhao Ran handed a stack of data notebooks to Qin Xu and spoke incessantly, "According to our previous tests, the zombie virus in their blood was driving them crazy and putting their brains into a dormant state. But just now, the zombie virus in their bodies suddenly erupted, reaching a terrifying level."
Jiang Ning listened carefully. He must have wanted to bite Qin Xu at that time.
Zhao Ran's face was filled with excitement. "When this value reached a critical point, it stimulated the dormant brains of these zombies, allowing them to regain consciousness. The zombie virus's value couldn't sustain that state forever, and it quickly shrank. Now it's basically only two points higher than before, but their consciousness is completely awake. However, the recovery state varies depending on the situation of each zombie."
Jiang Ning heard him say that the value had dropped back again, only two points higher. Two points shouldn't have much of an impact, and he didn't want to bite anyone now.
Breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Xu: "So you mean, we can communicate with them now?"
Zhao Ran looked at the zombies in the glass house and said, "Boss, you can try it."
Qin Xu walked towards the glass house again, and Jiang Ning naturally had to follow him until they stopped in front of the glass. The zombies just stared at them without making any movement. Even if they made any noise, they were not attracted to pounce on them and bite them.
Only the zombie who looked like the boss came to the glass, right in front of Qin Xu.
Qin Xu: "Sit down."
Jiang Ning: ...Oh my goodness, it seems you are training a dog here.
The zombie boss stared at him, as if trying to figure out what he meant. It seemed that they had not yet reached the level of normal people. After about a minute, the zombie boss squatted down little by little and then sat down.
Jiang Ning also looked at them in amazement. If these zombies could gradually understand human language, and even start talking, then he would really not be the most special little zombie anymore.
After a second of disappointment, Jiang Ning became happy. This way, even if something happened in the future, they wouldn't have to use him as an experiment.
Although its rarity level has been lowered, its safety level has increased dramatically.
He was so happy that he tapped Qin Xu's hand with his fingers in his pocket.
At this time, Qin Xu had already conducted a second experiment on the zombie boss: "Handshake."
He really used the same method to train a dog. Zhao Ran and others who were watching nearby said, "Boss, please respect the zombies. If you do this, they will remember it in their notebooks."
The zombie boss raised his hand.
Afterwards, Qin Xu tried it on other zombies. Those zombies were attracted to him and seemed to be thinking about what he meant, but they could not understand and could not make corresponding actions.
Zhao Ran: "This zombie number 1 is the most responsive of all the zombies here."
Zombie No. 1 is the zombie boss.
Zhao Ran: "Also, the other zombies showed signs of obeying him, but this zombie didn't act violently or threateningly towards the others. They seemed to be able to sense who was stronger, that is, who was closer to humans."
Liao Feng: "There are so few zombies here. I wonder how evolved the zombies outside are?"
This is the situation that deserves more attention and needs to be understood quickly.
After that, there was a long meeting and action plan. Jiang Ning listened very carefully at first, but then she became drowsy and finally fell asleep leaning on Qin Xu's shoulder.
Qin Xu turned his head and looked at him, and without waiting for his signal, the others lowered their voices when they spoke again.
Jiang Ning was dazed and felt like she was being tossed around.
Um?
Could it be that this pervert Qin Xu took advantage of me while I was sleeping...
He opened his eyes quickly, and saw the moon, the lights, the snow, and Qin Xu's jawline.
He was overthinking it. It turned out that Qin Xu carried him home.
"Is the meeting over?"
He shrank into Qin Xu's arms again to avoid the cold wind. The handcuffs on his hands had been taken off.
The mask remains.
Qin Xu lifted him up and said, "Well, we're done. I'm going to leave the city after daybreak to find out about the zombie situation outside. Is it okay for you to stay home alone?"
When Jiang Ning heard this, she jumped up and hugged Qin Xu: "I can't, I want to be with you, I promise not to cause you any trouble."
She used her peach blossom eyes to flirt with Qin Xu: "Hubby, we just got together, it's not suitable for us to separate. I can't sleep alone without you at night, and I can't eat without you during the day. Take your little baby with you~"
After pouting and acting coquettishly, humming and moaning, and going through a whole set of actions, Qin Xu nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ning was so happy that she was about to kiss him, but the mask came between them.
Jiang Ning panicked and waved her hands to explain, "I, I don't want to bite you, I want to kiss you."
He almost shook himself out of Qin Xu's arms.
He kept saying anxiously: "Look, I'm wearing a mask, I can't bite you, those zombies, those zombies don't look like they're going to bite people all the time, so I really wasn't..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Xu's big hand came over. Jiang Ning shrank back in fear and closed her eyes.
The big hand grasped the back of his head, and he heard a "click" sound. Then the restraint on his face was released, and Qin Xu's lips, which were cold in this winter night, came up and gradually warmed up.
He opened his eyes in disbelief and saw Qin Xu's eyes full of heartache, so much heartache that even the man Qin Xu seemed to have tears in his eyes.
Tears fell from Jiang Ning's eyes. He heard Qin Xu say, "Little zombie, don't be afraid of me. Never be afraid of me."
It must be an illusion, the low tone seemed like begging.
Jiang Ning felt sorry for her reaction just now, hugged Qin Xu, and cried, "I'm sorry."
He shouldn't have thought that Qin Xu would hit him. Thinking that way would really be unfair to Qin Xu for being so nice to him.
He was wrong.
He is really a stupid little zombie, but he knows how to correct his mistakes. I hope Qin Xu can forgive him.
Qin Xu patted him and said, "I know you experienced this suddenly and you are so scared."
Jiang Ning looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her mouth, which was usually full of jokes and arguments, was now speechless.
He just hugged Qin Xu tightly and cried. Qin Xu was really so good to him.
It was so good that he even felt that he should worship Qin Xu and burn incense for him every day.
But that wasn't very practical, so he decided to be practical. He had to repay Qin Xu for her kindness to him. He wasn't a heartless little zombie. "Qin Xu, let's not take Zhao Ran's medicine anymore. Medicine is always poisonous. Even if you can't make it, I won't despise you. As long as I can be with you, I can give up that kind of sexual happiness. Being with you is my happiness."
"You can't take medicine. You have to live a long life and stay with me forever."
Qin Xu: ...
What a dumb little zombie.
