Chapter 141: Cooperation
"......" Lou Yuandai looked at Rob with his head down in the rearview mirror, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, although Lu Mian was indeed not dead, but now he must be a dead person, otherwise he really doesn't know how to explain to Rob. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The night demon has begun to mutate," Lou Yuandai, who couldn't say anything about Green Sleep, had to change the subject, "It's no longer safe during the day now." ”
Lou Yuandai didn't have a sad expression on his face, not to mention that Lu Mian didn't die, even if he really died, Lou Yuandai probably couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
Rob was now keeping his head down, completely unable to see Lou Yuandai's expressionless face.
"I said that if your face didn't change a little longer," the voice of green sleep came to his head, "sooner or later, it will be revealed." ”
What kind of stuffing is revealed, that is, Lou Yuandai and Lu Mian are actually not as affectionate as Rob imagined, at least they have not experienced three years of common hardships.
Lou Yuan Dai looked at the residential area in front of her which was getting closer and closer, she twitched her face at the right time, and found that she really couldn't make such a sad expression, this kind of thing happened to Lu Mian, and it felt dark when she thought about it.
When I arrived at Rob's house, it was almost dark, and Lou Yuandai felt in a trance when she talked about this day, and it seemed that they had only eaten one meal today.
Despite his sadness, Rob got out of the back seat because he remembered that there was a living human beside him.
Rob made all preparations for the people who might be saved by himself three years ago, and even had several door keys, but when Lou Yuandai was about to open the door with the key, he suddenly found that something was wrong with the door.
It seems that today is really not a quiet day.
Lou Yuandai sighed and looked at some wet marks on the door, these marks seemed to be slime, and it was something with this slime that hit the door before it sticked, it seemed that the strength of that thing was not small, and the whole door was moved a small piece inward.
Rob, who followed behind, also saw this door that was different from usual: "More than one." ”
More than one has mutated, and it has the ability to find Robb's residence.
"It doesn't matter if there is a night demon in this house, no matter how many there are in it, whether we can kill them or not, this house can't stay overnight. ”
Rob looked up at the place where he had lived for three years, and now there may only be a handful of mutated Daredevils, but this very few may have spread the news that there are people living here, and if they continue to stay here, they will be greeted by a large army of Daredevil tonight.
The sun was about to set, and Rob, who had been lonely for three years, lived a precarious life on the day Lou Yuandai came.
"Let's spend the night here tonight. ”
This is a basement, Rob brought Lou Yuan Dai, and the two of them finally entered this basement before it was completely dark, and saw that the furnishings here should be the place of the military region.
If you are tired, just sleep on the bed over there for a while, Robb's eyes glanced at a bed against the wall, the bed was not a serious bed at first glance, just like a test bench in the hospital, Lou Yuandai always felt that he would be dissected the next moment when he lay on it.
"Forget it," Lou Yuandai waved his hand, "It's still on the ground." ”
Rob was not reluctant, and sat in the corner with Sam in his arms.
Sam was undoubtedly a well-trained dog, Lou Yuandai had never heard him bark where he shouldn't, and if he suddenly made a noise in this quiet basement now, the night demons on the ground might rush in.
Night has come, but Lou Yuandai and Rob are not sleepy, Lou Yuandai is worried about how to spend the next twenty-nine days, and Rob doesn't know what to think.
"I used to think that these three years were too peaceful, every day was like a prescript, what to do at this time, what to do at that time, sometimes I would complain about the life without a trace of ups and downs, but when the real accident came, I realized that I didn't want a vigorous life. ”
This is a militarized basement, full of all kinds of instruments, and now the only light in it is the small lamp used for lighting on the experimental table, Lou Yuandai looked at Rob's face through the dim light, and saw that his expression was calm and did not seem to be excited.
"Before the end of the world" Lou Yuandai took over, "my life is not very peaceful, sometimes I will be very unaccustomed to suddenly quiet, because I always feel that there is nothing to do, when the end comes, in fact, I have no thoughts in my heart, there is no life similar to what many people want to live, and there is no love fantasy in the end of the world, just from an unquiet world to another unquiet world, sometimes I will miss the past, but in my heart is more about the unknown future of longing. ”
"So, maybe I'm a little abnormal," Lou Yuandai lowered her head, "but everyone should have their own ideas, shouldn't they?"
"That can only mean that you are more suitable for this world," Rob touched Sam, who was obediently in his arms, "you are like a person who was born specifically for the end of the world, in other words, you are a talent now." "I can't say what kind of talent it is, but Rob is so sure of it.
"If humanity can survive this catastrophe, perhaps your name will appear in the history of the world, and your deeds may be made into a movie, provided that humanity survives, of course. ”
Lou Yuandai was a little stunned when she heard Rob's words, and she didn't know if he was stupid.
"I think these are the things I say to you more appropriately. Lou Yuandai looked at Rob, who had been stroking Sam.
"No," Sam looked up, his eyes sparkling in the dim light, "you're better suited than me to the end times." ”
Because I have already experienced two worlds, Lou Yuandai said silently in her heart.
For a moment neither of them spoke, and only the faint sound of breathing remained in the quiet basement.
It is precisely because this environment is so quiet that any sound will be infinitely amplified, Lou Yuandai heard a sound of Suosuo, coming from the basement door, she suddenly raised her head to meet Rob's surprised gaze, it seems that he also heard the voice.
Rob made a "shh
Lou Yuandai glanced at the watch on her wrist, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, it was impossible for the sun to have not set, and most of the people who made this sound were not humans.
Like the sound of a key inserted into the lock hole, the door creaked, and Lou Yuandai heard that it was the sound of the lock being opened.
"Knock knock" didn't rush in after unlocking, but knocked on the door a few times, is this knocking?
Unexpectedly, Lou Yuandai didn't see a complete night demon coming out from behind the door, but first saw a hand that was white and tender compared to the night demon, and it was obvious that it was only a human hand that came in now.
Rob let out a breath but was not careless, still intently aiming his gun at the door.
The person who came was a woman who looked to be in her fifties, the wrinkles on her face were already very obvious but she did not look old, for some reason Lou Yuandai always felt that this woman looked very familiar.
"Kribben?" Rob watched as the man lowered his gun, as if he still knew the woman.
Not only does it look familiar, but even the name is so familiar, because Lou Yuandai always can't distinguish the names of foreigners, so she often confuses them.
Kriben seems to be, the culprit?
Rob's anticipation revealed unkindness: "I thought that a big man like you could only be seen on TV, but I didn't expect that we would meet in this basement today, and the situation is not very optimistic." "Rob hasn't seen a living person for three years, even if the appearance of Lou Yuandai and Lu Mian gave him a certain surprise before, he doesn't need to be sarcastic when he sees someone he knows again, anyway, this is sarcasm in Lou Yuandai's ears.
"Dr. Robb" The woman named Kribben didn't look angry, "You're a physician too, I thought you understood me. ”
"I'm not the culprit, why should I understand you?" is a brilliant rhetorical question.
"A physician, instead of fulfilling his responsibilities as a physician, came up with this kind of thing," Rob sneered, "I thought you would have died with your own creation." ”
Speaking of this, Lou Yuandai had roughly guessed the identity of the person who came, that is, Doctor Kribben, the culprit of the end of the world, it was the virus she created that she thought could fight against cancer that caused the mutation of human beings, and this virus evolved very smoothly under her transformation, and it was extremely resistant to drugs, which was simply impossible to kill.
"I've always been committed to saving humanity," Kribben argued, "and I've been trying all sorts of ways to create a cure for the past three years. ”
"For the past three years?" asked Rob, "you've been in New York for the past three years, in this city?"
Kribben looked at him and nodded, "I know you've been looking for humans, but for some reason I can't work with you to develop an antidote. ”
"You must know that when all the humans in this city are dead, I will shoot you in the head when I see you again, so you don't dare to come to see me, right?"
"Oh, don't say that," Kribben said as he looked at Rob, "I know you won't, Colonel Robb, you're a law-abiding citizen. ”
Rob didn't shoot her in the head, but he didn't let her come near either.
"I never knew that a virus could evolve so quickly, and in a short period of time, drug resistance, transmissibility could be almost invincible, Dr. Kribben, don't tell me that it's none of your business. ”
"Yes," Kribben sighed, "when the virus had not yet had any drawbacks, I had been trying to spread it into the air in order to enhance its usability, so that patients could cure cancer with almost no injections, but there has been no progress, but I didn't expect it to suddenly mutate and be able to spread directly in the air, and I realized that what I saw before was an illusion." ”
"You should know that now the virus seems to have mutated again, and we can be here tonight because of the mutated virus, and we have lost a companion, so it should have something to do with you, right?" Rob pointed his gun at Kribben, although Lou Yuandai knew that he wouldn't shoot, but the murderous aura on his body revealed what he wanted to do the most now.
"I know they're not afraid of the light anymore," Kribben actually laughed, "but that's also a characteristic of human beings, humans are not afraid of the light, how do you know that they're not about to heal?"
Lou Yuandai couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she heard this, she really didn't see that the night demon was going to change back into a human form, and she was almost bitten by the mutated guy today.
"Look at your under-beaten expression, this matter really has something to do with you. Rob gripped the gun tightly in his hand, feeling that it could accidentally shoot the doctor in front of him in the head at any moment.
"The world has become like this," Cribben shrugged, "and there are only three people left in New York City, and if we don't do a little bit more, the only remaining human beings in the world may perish." ”
Thanks to your gifts, the last remaining human beings in the world may have perished.
Rob put down the gun in his hand, he knew that even if he shot the woman in front of him ten times in the head, it was impossible to change the established facts, now that day and night had become the world of night demons, and the era of human beings was completely over.
"Maybe I'm not doing it right," Kribben said for the first time, "but don't forget that there are no perfect creatures in the world, and the night demons have unparalleled strength and speed in their sensory organs, and originally their shortcoming was that they were afraid of the sun, but now this shortcoming is gone, or a small part of the night demons no longer have this shortcoming, so there must be new shortcomings along with the mutation." ”
"Can they still be afraid of the moonlight?" Lou Yuandai felt that there was no shortcoming that was more practical than being afraid of the sun, at least they could move freely within the territory of New York during the day.
"This little girl is so interesting," Chris smiled and glanced at Lou Yuandai, "This mutation, the most lethal point of their game has also been changed, that is, drug resistance." ”
Rob raised his head when he heard this, he has been researching ways to make humans reappear for the past three years, but the virus is too domineering, otherwise it has no effect on the drug, or it directly kills the host, there is really nothing to be done, if the drug resistance changes, then their plan to develop an antidote can go further.
"But you also know that this virus is always evolving, and they will improve one shortcoming after another, and I don't think it will last long, so we have to seize the time to develop an antidote. ”
Rob asked, "How long will this shortcoming last?"
"One month, conservative statistics are one month, and we have to develop an antidote within a month. ”
After hearing this, Lou Yuandai trembled, such a coincidence? She also has to stay in this world for a month, this coincidence is inevitably too timely.
"Okay," Rob thought for a while and said, "Then I'll work with you, if you can't develop an antidote in a month, then there will be no chance again." ”
