"Professor?!" Zhong Wen then realized that the old professor whom he had always respected was being stepped on by a man. He subconsciously wanted to save the old professor, but Lin Jianbai behind him grabbed his arm.
"He's very strong." Lin Jianbai lowered his voice, but except for the old professor, everyone present was a psychic, so his deliberately low voice still easily reached their ears.
"Who are you?!" Zhong Wen stood in front of his father and spoke harshly to Wei Xicheng and Yu Beiyan.
Lin Jianbai moved his lips and wanted to say something but finally he suppressed his words.
Wei Xicheng remained silent. He looked at Yu Beiyan, who suddenly behaved out of character, and felt puzzled. This person always looked indifferent to everything. This was the first time he saw him have such a strong desire to kill for someone.
"Ahem, get started, Xiaowen." The old professor on the ground coughed twice again, causing Yu Beiyan to increase the strength of his feet.
Zhong Wen's eyes were red, but this time he did not listen to the old professor. He stood there, and the scene fell into silence for a while.
"They are the two people I was talking about." This time, Lin Jianbai covered Zhong Wen's ear and helped him explain the identities of the two.
Zhong Wen took a tentative step forward and said, "Let the professor go. He is the hope of mankind."
"Tsk." No one else said anything, but the usually taciturn Yu Beiyan sneered, "Do you know where the zombie virus came from?"
Zhong Wen's expression changed and he looked at the old professor on the ground.
Wei Xicheng's face changed even more, but the person he was looking at was Yu Beiyan, who lowered his head with an unclear expression. He thought of many things, including the "laboratory" and "nutrient solution" that Yu Beiyan had mentioned before, the wounds on Yu Beiyan's body, and some of his actions that were different from those of normal people.
And that strange name - "Number One".
"Number One, you really surprised, ahem, surprised me." The old professor lay on the ground, his tense hands and feet gradually relaxed, as if he had no hope of escaping.
He looked at Yu Beiyan who was standing there and chuckled twice, "You are my perfect test subject, but it's a pity..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Beiyan pushed him hard, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter a sound.
Due to the excessive pressure on his chest, breathing became very difficult. The old professor's eye sockets bulged and the whites of his eyes became larger, which was very scary.
Yu Beiyan raised his head and looked at Wei Xicheng standing aside, with an unknown deep look in his eyes, "You guessed it, right?"
Wei Xicheng nodded.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Wei Xicheng nodded again. He walked to Yu Beiyan and held his hand. He was so heartbroken that he didn't even have time to blame him.
After this action, he saw that Yu Beiyan's eyes seemed to come alive again, as if a light flashed. A strong force came from his hand, reminding him how strong the emotions in the heart of the man beside him were.
The strength in Yu Beiyan's feet gradually relaxed, and the old professor who was almost suffocating breathed a sigh of relief, gasping for breath like a dying fish washed ashore.
"Number One, you, you tell me, what is your special ability?" The old professor was a scientific research madman. At this moment, he was still thinking about the feedback from the experimental subjects in order to advance the further experiments he envisioned.
"Tell me, only after you tell me can I research the reagent to purify the virus. You don't want to see human extinction, do you?" The old professor tried to persuade Yu Beiyan, with fanaticism flashing in his eyes.
"What does it have to do with me?" Yu Beiyan lowered his eyelids and held Wei Xicheng's hand tightly. He only hated the old professor, but he was not sure whether the person he was holding would accept that he had killed this person.
Wei Xicheng patted Yu Beiyan's big hand and said, "Do what you want."
"You are sinners to all mankind!" Lin Jianbai watched the development of the situation quietly. At this moment, he finally didn't care about his own safety. He shouted loudly at Wei Xicheng and Yu Beiyan.
Lin Jianbai was not as noble as he appeared. He never thought about Yu Beiyan's identity, but the scene in the clothing store. Maybe he was wrong at first. The one who could control the zombies was not Wei Xicheng, but Yu Beiyan, who had been a test subject.
So, where did Yu Beiyan's ability come from? Lin Jianbai cast his eyes on the old professor on the ground.
Since he can stimulate a person's genetic mutation and turn an ordinary person into a superpower, he will also have the hope of becoming a superior person, instead of only being able to curry favor with those superpowers as an ordinary person.
He gave the old professor a look and then looked around, trying to find the potion.
The old professor on the ground noticed his gaze and suddenly shouted, "Shelf 2, third layer!"
Lin Jianbai was stunned and found that the shelf was right next to him! Without thinking, he took out one of the test tubes and stuffed it into the mouth of Zhong Lei beside him.
Zhong Wen never thought that Lin Jianbai would dare to be so petty at this time. He kicked Lin Jianbai to the side, and then carefully checked his father's condition.
Zhong Lei's eyes were no longer empty. He tried to move his legs and feet, then slowly stood up.
"Dad, are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Not only no, Zhong Lei even felt a force spreading from his limbs and bones, making him want to shout to vent. Looking at the people around him, he didn't say this.
Lin Jianbai lay aside and smiled, then took out another test tube and drank the liquid inside.
After seeing his actions, the old professor's eyes lit up.
"Ah!" The next second a scream of pain pierced everyone's eardrums.
Lin Jianbai, who had just drunk the potion, curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp, his body shaking constantly, and his exposed skin gradually turned gray-green.
After a shout, he seemed to have lost his voice. He could only open his mouth wide but no sound came out. His lips turned purple, his eyes were abnormally bluish and white, and his pupils gradually faded.
The old professor's eyes, which were originally filled with surprise, gradually dimmed, and he failed again.
"There's something wrong with him." Zhong Lei took Zhong Wen a little further away from Lin Jianbai.
Of course something was wrong, it looked like he was going to turn into a corpse. Wei Xicheng cursed inwardly, let go of Yu Beiyan's hand, and stepped forward to kill Lin Jianbai.
However, he did not expect that the moment he attacked, Lin Jianbai quickly jumped up and dodged his attack. His speed was almost comparable to that of Yu Beiyan in his prime.
The old professor did not miss this wonderful scene. He laughed out loud, "This can be considered evolution in another sense!"
Madman! Wei Xicheng dodged Lin Jianbai's attack. Such a irrational and inhumane person could no longer be called a human being.
Lin Jianbai's speed was very fast. Wei Xicheng just felt a little tired, but the pressure was reduced in the next second. It turned out that Yu Beiyan also took action.
Wei Xicheng looked towards the old professor's position. Although the old professor had a smile on his face, his eyes had lost their luster and he looked like he had lost his breath.
He stopped thinking about it and focused on dealing with Lin Jianbai together with Yu Beiyan.
Zhong Wen looked at the three people fighting, and thought that his father had also drunk the potion, and he was a little worried. Just as he looked at Zhong Lei, he received a look from his father.
The father and son quietly retreated from the basement exit and then locked the basement.
"Dad?" Zhong Wen finally couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Zhong Lei patted his son's shoulder.
"I'm afraid the basement can't hold them all, so just blow it up later." Zhong Wen's tone was so soft, so soft that Zhong Lei thought he had heard it wrong.
Soon they didn't have time to think about how to deal with the basement problem, because there was a loud noise outside the apartment, a woman's scream, a child's cry, a man's curse, and a loud sound of debris colliding and gunshots.
Zhong Lei frowned. What happened? It was only a short while ago, but there was such a big mess at the base.
When the two of them walked out of the apartment, they found that the outside was in chaos. What was even more terrifying was that the base's defense network had been breached by zombies.
Lin Lei was standing on the roof of a tall building not far from the protective net. He felt exhausted when he saw the endless zombies outside the protective net. He thought it would be much safer to enter the base, but he didn't expect to die faster. He was not afraid, but he didn't want his sister to be...she was still young.
Faced with the threat of death, humans showed the ugliest side of their nature. The imagined situation of united efforts to resist the zombie horde did not happen. Instead, they robbed, bullied the weak, and escaped...
If Wei Xicheng in the basement opened the system at this moment, he would find that the area they were in was completely surrounded by zombies, and zombies in the distance were rushing here quickly.
Lin Jianbai's continuous attacks left Wei Xicheng no time to think. This was the first time he encountered an enemy in a parallel world, an enemy that he could not immediately resolve even if he and his lover joined forces.
But after all, Lin Jianbai was just an ordinary person before and did not have much experience in fighting, and now he is showing signs of decline.
After Lin Jianbai fell down completely, Wei Xicheng discovered that the door that was originally open had been closed.
Wei Xicheng was in no hurry to leave, he sat on the ground. Now he really wanted to talk to Yu Beiyan and talk to him about the past.
"I have been raised in a laboratory since I was a child, and I just escaped from there not long before the virus broke out." Yu Beiyan leaned on the shelf behind him, with his long legs casually bent in a relaxed posture.
"I didn't think the outside world was any different from the lab before, but now..." He smiled and continued, "I should have come out earlier."
Perhaps because his identity was revealed, Yu Beiyan changed his previous taciturn demeanor and told all his past events.
Wei Xicheng didn't expect that what he thought was actually wrong. He originally thought that Yu Beiyan was just a victim of the old professor's experiment, but he didn't expect that Yu Beiyan himself was the most advanced zombie, which was also the final result that the old professor wanted to achieve at the beginning. He retained the rationality of being a human, but had different genes, evolved facial features, evolved physical strength, and had superpowers.
All the experimental subjects were unable to withstand the medicine made by the old professor, and only Yu Beiyan succeeded. After Yu Beiyan left, the old professor really fell into madness. He believed that he was right, and his crazy experiments led to the subsequent outbreak of the zombie virus.
Wei Xicheng, who knew the truth, did not show his psychological activities, fearing that he would hurt his lover's heart. He held Yu Beiyan's hand tightly and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the virus."
"Yes, I know."
