108 Kill 103 The end is coming
On the distant horizon, the sunset, which was no longer bright, hung feebly, and all the light of the world poured out towards the mouth of the bright source, as evidenced by the advancing shadows behind the fallen buildings. The residual warmth evaporated with their footsteps, and the deep blue chill slowly settled on the earth, and the dark side of the backlight of the handful of poison hemlock leaves not far away grew thicker and thicker, until the sky was already dark, and even the boundaries of the edges could not be distinguished.
The horizon that glowed orange was the last thing it reflected in Z's eyes, and he turned his head, and the eastern sky had long since darkened into chaos, and the faint starlight seemed to be delayed, falling through the distant sky on the retina.
It was at this time that Z found Li Yao, who was dying, lying on the ruins not far away, and the hanging ornament on his wrist that was weak and drooping against the sunset was the only token he could perceive.
The light of heaven finally disappeared completely, and everything sank into the darkness that seemed to have no day.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
All the memories came back, and the locked cabinet doors in my mind opened one by one, and the large number of memories accumulated in them poured back into my mind like that, whether it was the memories before or the world after the crossing, all the memories came back.
In the midst of the chaos, he heard the system say:
"He is waiting for you in the royal city. β
But there was no time to catch the questioning, and the system seemed to have lost contact again, and there was no response at all.
Those messy timelines are intertwined, remembering one thing that can always involve more, the rare smile scenes in each life in the memories overlap each other, the heartbeat and sad memories are also accompanied by each other, the doubts and hints of the system are linked, in the chaos, Li Yao seems to have never known the truth and meaning of this strange crossing, but one thing is gradually clear in his heart:
Yang Ming is his brother Li Jun.
He didn't know why he was assertive, but after taking over all the memories, his first reaction was indeed this.
He had completely remembered everything before he was in a car accident, and the clear feeling in his heart made him hope to see Yang Ming immediately, whether it was a car accident or a crossing, everything else was no longer important, as long as he could see Yang Ming again to make up for the battle that was cut off by the car accident-

βοΌοΌβ
Li Yao opened his eyes suddenly, and the miserable white light on the ceiling subconsciously wanted to block his eyes with his hands.
The hand was not raised, but trapped, he tried to move, he seemed to be tied to an operating table, even his head was fixed and could not be turned, and there seemed to be something fixed around his neck, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Interrupted by a completely unfamiliar environment, the intense * that I just wanted to see Yang Ming rose in my mind again with a heartbeat.
Yang Ming.... Yang Ming......
He struggled again, still unable to move, and there was nothing but incandescent light on the ceiling in front of him, and all he could see was a few cracks in the wall and damp mold.
Yang Ming .........
"Heyββ!" he cried out, "anyone?!"
No response.
After a few seconds, there was a sound of "knock" opening the door from which direction, Li Yao turned his eyes hard and couldn't see more, the sound of boots stepping on the stone slab came from far and near, and his steady footsteps finally stopped beside him.
The face that appeared in front of him blocked the light of the fiasco, and the instantaneous change of light and darkness prevented Li Yao from seeing his face clearly, and the man just glanced at it, and then left Li Yao's line of sight and untied the thing that bound him.
"Who are you?" asked Li Yao.
The time of being restrained should not be short, and at the moment of liberation, there was a very uncomfortable feeling of soreness and numbness in the limbs, Li Yao got used to it for a while before slowly sitting up, rubbing his wrists and ankles, and at the same time, the whole view of this room was also in full view.
It was a simple room, with no other facilities except for the abrupt operating table in the center of the room and the lamp tube on the top, but except for the distance from the door to the operating table, which had a walkable path, the rest of the room was completely empty, a bottomless abyss, and only endless black filled the unknown space.
Just one glance can make the faint of heart weak in their legs and sweaty in their palms.
It can be said that the trail and this operating table are the safest cliffs.
"This is...?!"
When Li Yao asked these words, he saw a black metal rope beside him. The texture of the rope was very hard, like a square silk chain that had expanded many times, and it was extremely tough, and a section of the rope was tied to the collar around his neck.
Wait, collar?
Li Yao hurriedly pulled it with his hands, it was indeed a collar, the inner ring was leather, the outer ring was metal, and the joint with the chain was tightly welded, there were no strange decorations such as rivets, but there were some half-large iron sheets with slightly protruding edges and smooth edges, and they were surrounded by a circle.
"What's this one around my neck?"
Faced with Li Yao's question, none of the people who came answered him, just turned around and walked towards the door when he came.
Li Yao was still sitting on the operating table, and suddenly felt a pull on his neck, and it turned out that the other end of the black chain had already been held in the man's hand.
Li Yao grabbed the chain and wanted to pull the end back with a force, but the man seemed to have expected this, and he didn't know what button he pressed, and a strong stabbing pain came from the back of Li Yao's neck, which directly electrocuted him back onto the bed, as if he had been near death, and his stomach was churning.
Z didn't look back, and said coldly:
"You know how important the nerves of the spinal cord are. Follow me, be smart. β
After saying that, he pulled the rope in his hand again, forcing Li Yao to follow until he walked through the only path above the abyss and walked out of the door.
The person behind him was shocked, it was estimated that it was very uncomfortable, and without asking any more questions, Z led him through a low corridor with many doors, and finally came to the door at the end of the corridor, flexed his index finger, and knocked on the door.
"Come in. β
A soft-voiced but serious girl's voice sounded through the door.
Z grabbed the doorknob and finally whispered another reminder: "Be smart." He pressed the doorknob down and opened it.
Inside the door is a bright, spacious conference room, the most conspicuous thing in the conference room is a long black table, around the long table sat men and women, but all of them had serious expressions, on the main seat of the long table, sitting high was the girl who had just spoken.
She looks delicate and cute, but her momentum is very amazing, even if she sits in such a position of commander, she does not violate the harmony, or this kind of treatment can be regarded as condescending.
"Doctor, you're here. The girl said.
Z nodded, led Li Yao, who had just entered the door and was firmly stared at by everyone's eyes, and returned to his seat, and let Li Yao sit next to him, at the other end of the long table opposite the upper position.
Everyone was looking at Li Yao, with hatred and fear in their eyes, but the doctor just looked at the empty table in front of him, looking careless.
Li Yao could only avoid the eyes of others for the time being and looked in the direction of the doctor. It was then that he could see the appearance of the man called "The Doctor", a very handsome man, with high eyebrow bones and a bridge of his nose and sunken eye sockets that made him look a bit of a half-race, wearing a black trench coat with a vertical collar, with long black hair, a few strands of soft curling nonchalant curves around his neck and shoulders, and the rest scattered behind him.
Although he didn't know anything yet, Li Yao could clearly sense the rejection in the eyes of others. As if to confirm his thoughts, someone stood up:
"Doctor, can you really guarantee that he is not a threat to us?"
Standing up was a woman in a military uniform, her capable short hair was cut at the lower end, and her white neck was very slender, she said, and glanced at the girl sitting on the top with respect, before turning her head and continuing to look at Li Yao viciously:
β...... What's more, the teacher is here, and I can't allow the slightest mistake!"
Her words immediately aroused the approval of others, and others continued to echo them:
"yes, what if he breaks out and hurts the teacher?!"
"It should be closed with a cage!"
"I still have the same opinion as before - it's best to kill it directly!"
For a while, the sound of controversy was endless, and the cute girl called "teacher" looked at all this indifferently and did not say a word.
"Ladies and gentlemen. β
Z flexed his index finger and buckled the table like knocking on the door:
"It's all elites here, especially you," he said, looking at the short-haired woman who was the first to speak, "Captain Song Qiya." This is a group of elites, and he is just a lone sixth generation, if he doesn't even have this bit of confidence, then I don't think there's any need to set up a K team. β
Song Qiya stood up unto be outdone: "I didn't mean that, this ability of the six generations, I don't think we have fully understood it, if it ......"
Before she finished speaking, Li Yao felt the sharp pain before, and a large amount of sweat broke out all over her body in an instant, as if the nerves that sensed pain were directly stimulated, and her body suddenly lost strength and fell on the table.
"What if?" Z took her words flutteringly, "you see, if he has anything else on his mind, I'll be enough to deal with it alone." β
Song Qiya's eyes widened, as if to confirm that Li Yao had really lost her ability to move, and finally sat down with a frown.
"Then moving on to the previous topic," Z said slowly, "I'm applying again to let this endβbe completely controlled by my sixth generation, and join Team K." β
He bit the word "completely" emphatically and confronted Song Qiya unceremoniously.
"I'm against it. Song Qiya didn't stand up this time, but just bluntly and quickly put forward a different opinion.
"As a player who is about to be part of the K team, I am against it as well. This time it was a girl with a high ponytail who stood up, wearing a black sports suspender belt and black shorts, revealing a large area of wheat-colored skin.
After her, objections began to emerge one after another, and Z was silent, folding his hands into towers over his chin, and a pair of gray eyes moved with the speaker, until the voice of approval appeared, and his gaze stopped on the man.
The one who agreed with Z's opinion was an old man, and when he stood up, everyone was silent, and the old man was hunched back, his eyes were cloudy, and he was holding the table with one hand behind him, and he kept beating his waist with the other behind his back, as if it was difficult to stand.
"I, agree with the doctor. β
Li Yao didn't know what kind of status this old man had, but everyone, including Song Qiya, seemed to respect him, and no one dared to interrupt his speech.
"Although his identity is very special and dangerous, if used properly, it can also be an opportunity for humanity to turn around.... cough cough cough .... Ahem, ahem...."
The old man coughed for a while before he continued: "Since the doctor has been able to use means to ensure that he is not a threat, and the conditions we put forward are also beneficial to him, so why not cooperate?"
There was silence in the conference room, and those who dissented did not dare to speak against the old man's words, although they were not upset.
"Ahem, ahem......." The old man began to cough violently again, so he had to sit down, cover his mouth with dry hands, and lower his voice.
Seeing this, the doctor said: "It has been almost a hundred years since the zombies appeared, and everyone here understands how much Mr. Liu has suffered and hated zombies before, since he can say that he agrees with the six generations to join, I implore everyone to think about it, this matter really shouldn't be supported?"
Song Qiya opened her mouth, looked at Mr. Liu, who was coughing in a low voice, closed her mouth again, and hung her head silently.
The changes brought about by zombies, she also experienced first-hand, before undergoing freezing surgery, she almost died because of zombies like her parents, and she will never forget this hatred. Even after 90 years of surgery, he was finally thawed up, and the hatred did not diminish in the slightest. But she didn't expect that it was just a long sleep for her, and everything was already a sea of vicissitudes.
Human beings are forced to hide underground, zombies continue to evolve and ravage the earth, one, two, and three generations of zombies continue to mutate, and in the end, part of the reproductive function is retained, and the third generation of zombies gives birth to four generations of zombies... Until now, she also feels that the facts told to her are like a ridiculous story, a plot that only happens in a movie, as long as she walks on the ground, but it is still the original scene of prosperity, and the world is still imperfect, but it will get better and better.
But this is nothing but self-deception.
It was a day before human society fell apart, and I don't know from which remote county an outbreak of a disease. The origin of the disease is a group of eccentrics who escaped without any vital features, but only retained their primitive attacks*, fighting to the death with their decomposing corpses, all of these eccentrics have lost all their vital functions, except for the imbecile brains that can give attack commands, constantly hurting and eating people - even if they have no living organs to digest the food - and spreading the virus in this way.
At that time, the zombies were only a generation, slow in movement and low intelligence, but they were not in pain or tired, and if they did not destroy the brain or spinal nerves, there was no point in attacking again.
Thinking of those days, Song Qiya unconsciously clenched her fists. She had expected these weirdos to be eliminated soon, as the government news had said. Thinking about it now, if I had been completely sure at that time, I would not have made a fuss to the point of exposing it and then guiding public opinion to appease the people.
After all, those zombies are a minority, but the fatal problem is the water source.
The zombies are infected with the water source.
The remote town is located in the northwest, is the plain area on the source of a long river for drinking, although to a certain extent the water body can be oxidized and decomposed, reduce the concentration to achieve the effect of self-purification, but it is precisely because it is a remote area with pure water quality, the water plant is not developed, there are still many residents to maintain the habit of taking water directly, the water body has not been completely purified to be used in daily life, the number of infected people along the river continues to increase, more and more infected people in turn make the water pollution more serious, and it is the main river that depends on survival. Exposing all the circumstances will lead to instability in the people...... All these natural factors, combined with the government's miscalculations, have led to a rapid increase in the number of people who feel like a generation of zombies through water. After years of chaos, the government finally lost its function as a state apparatus and collapsed, and most of the remaining human survivors went underground while resisting, and Song Qiya was infected at that time.
I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, the will left by her father gave her a chance to live again, and through a huge amount of freezing surgery, until the year before last, she was finally cured by drugs that can treat the zombie virus and came back to life.
But continuing to live is just another nightmare.
She didn't expect that after that, those zombies began to evolve. Among some zombies, others appeared that were later divided into second-generation zombies, and compared to the first-generation zombies, they retained a human function, which was mainly manifested in the fact that their digestive system was able to function. The first generation of zombies can only eat people, but they can't digest people, their lifeless stomach pouches are just decorations like intestines and other organs, while the second generation of zombies can reuse this function, so they live longer and longer than the first generation of zombies.
You must know that the lifespan of a generation of zombies is basically three to five years - it all depends on the speed of their own decay and decomposition, no matter how long it takes, without any attack, these zombies will also become rotten bones.
The evolution of the second generation of zombies is a big change, and the doctorβSong Qiya couldn't help but glance at the long-haired manβthe doctor once said that the evolution of this generation is actually an evolutionary direction that is very lacking in nature, that is, the utilization of energy. As we all know, since the age of steam, human beings have been constantly pursuing the utilization of mechanical energy, and each increase in utilization rate is a major change for human society. This evolutionary direction of zombies will make them very difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Song Qiya couldn't help but think of the appearance of the doctor when he gave this speech, at that time, his expression was calm, and he dissected everything thoroughly and methodically, so that people could see it clearly, and his handsome face was extremely rational, so that the people below looked at it, as if he felt a reliable peace of mind, and he was also a member of the audience at that time, thinking that the doctor could see everything in such detail and so reasonably, if he was there, he always felt that one day, everyone would be able to usher in the day of returning to the ground.
In this underground society, Dr. Z has a high prestige, and even the anti-zombie virus medicine was invented by him, of course, this medicine is very rare, and he can't expect the medicine to save mankind. The doctor is always very sensible, and what he says is also very reasonable, even his own life is saved by the doctor Like many people, except for the teacher, the person she respects the most is the doctor......
But this time, she couldn't agree to the doctor's proposal anyway.
The proposal was so crazy and difficult, so crazy that it didn't look like a doctor's usual style. Although success will directly change the hostile relationship between zombies and humans, once it fails, it will be the destruction of the entire human race.
No one can afford this price.
As the captain of Team K, Song Qiya clenched her fists again, no matter what she said, she would not agree to let this sixth generation join Team K. 166 Reading Network
