Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Mutation
According to the plot of the movie, Robert's residence is not far from New York University's Washington Square, and he can even see the iconic arch of the Arc de Triomphe on Washington Square from inside his steel fort, which is not far from the South Street Harbor.

But when their minibus actually drove along the seemingly close road between two locations, it became clear why Robert said it was a short distance: the city's main road was littered with fallen neon stands and huge stones that had come out of nowhere, and weeds had surged up and buried smaller, sharp pieces of broken glass. The car simply can't go fast because if you're not careful, it can get punctured by sharp stones and glass, not to mention those that are no longer able to drive and have to be rerouted. So by the time they reached Robert's little bungalow, armed to the teeth, it was already twilight.
Robert was very excited along the way, although he sat in the driver's seat, but still did not turn around and communicate with the people behind him, so that in the end Qin Jing had to take Robert's driver's place - because his actions were very dangerous in such road conditions, they didn't want to have to have to walk to the house because the car broke down.
Robert said a lot, the past, the future, but most of all he was curious about the origin of the crowd. This kind of work of fooling people was handed over to Chu Xuan by everyone, after all, except for Chu Xuan, everyone was not very familiar with the background of this movie.
Chu Xuan then calmly told Robert that they were all from a Red Cross rescue ship, but the ship did not last long even if it was far away from the virus, people kept mutating or dying, and finally even the lifeboat could not be used, so everyone had to go ashore in a city in the southern United States, at that time, a total of more than 30 of them survived, but because of the attack of the night demons, they were all separated from each other, and now only a dozen of them have come here alive. When Chu Xuan said this, he even asked Robert if he had seen some other people who might still be alive, seeing Robert shaking his head, Chu Xuan lowered his head and muttered for a while before continuing to talk as if nothing happened.
This was originally a very pleasant conversation, but when Robert heard Chu Xuan say that they originally wanted to go further north, because there was a human settlement there, his expression obviously changed slightly.
"There can be no human settlement," he muttered, "that everyone, all the people we have ever met or liked, all the things that have come so suddenly, all the plans have not had time to be carried out, and the humans are already dead." ”
"No, there are settlements." Compared to Robert, Chu Xuan seemed to be too calm.
"There can't be any evacuation plan!" Robert stood up in the car, and the atmosphere in the car visibly tense as he moved. Zero Point and Overlord quietly put their hands on the grab, the newcomers stopped talking, and even Zhao Yingkong put down the book in her hand and looked up at Robert and Chu Xuan, who looked excited. Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is Ming Yanwei, who has been looking out the window, but I don't know how much of her motionless expression is on those collapsed and destroyed buildings.
"Do you know how fast this virus is spreading?" Robert was a little hysterical, "Once an ordinary person is infected with this virus through the air, it will definitely change within three days, and the spread after being bitten is even faster, it doesn't take three hours to die, such a fast speed no country or government has time to make an effective response, and at the same time, immunized people like us account for less than one percent of the entire population......"
"The virus swept the entire earth in just half a year, killing 90% of the world, and less than 12 million people can really effectively immunize the virus, and the remaining 588 million people have become night demons," Chu Xuan looked at Robert and sneered, "I'm also a scientist, so I don't need you to explain this to me, all I want to say is that we still have 10 million people alive, and as long as there are living people, new leaders, new collectives, and new regimes will be born from these people, With these as a cohesive force, it is natural that there will be new settlements. ”
"We didn't ask you to go to the settlement with us," Chu Xuan looked at the outline of Washington Square in the distance outside the window, "I understand what you mean, this is the source of the virus outbreak, and you hope to find an antidote here to reverse the whole process of transformation, this original intention is undoubtedly good, but," Chu Xuan raised his head and looked at Robert, who was gradually calming down, "Relying on your strength is not enough." ”
"Isn't it enough?" Chu Xuan's voice was like a basin of cold water splashed on Robert's head. He looked down at his hands, remembering that in the past three years, in the past thousand days and nights, he had experienced so many failures and setbacks, so many attempts, and so many lonely ...... But a vaccine for the virus is still far away......
He raised his head and looked at the man with glasses in front of him, through the conversation just now, he already knew that the person in front of him was a top scientist, and even had many insights that he had not thought of, his heart suddenly became a little hot, if, if he could help himself......
"Please help me!" Robert lowered his head and asked Chu Xuan with a respectful expression.
……
It seemed that Chu Xuan had succeeded, and hearing Robert's words, Qin Jing couldn't help but think. Although he was driving, he still paid attention to the movements in the car from time to time, and when he saw Chu Xuan and Robert chatting tirelessly about some weird scientific terms, he felt that something was wrong, that guy was so talkative on weekdays?
Then he heard Robert's request......
And so it was...... Obviously, he wanted to use Robert's research results to develop a virus vaccine and get that A-level plot, but in the end, it was as if he couldn't resist Robert's bitter pleading and reluctantly agreed.
Although it is not a conspiracy, this feeling is really unpleasant......
Qin Jing looked at Chu Xuan's house through the rearview mirror in the car, although he was still expressionless, Qin Jing felt very indignant that he had a feeling that he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme......
……
……
"We're here." Robert, who had been promised help by Chu Xuan, was obviously in a very good mood, and after he beckoned Qin Jing to stop the minibus, he took the lead and got off the bus, and of course his partner Sam.
"Zhan Lan, scan the surroundings to see if there are any people or things nearby." Qin Jing instructed Zhan Lan.
It stands to reason that they are absolutely safe during the day, but Qin Jing still understands the truth of being careful about sailing the ship of ten thousand years.
Zhan Lan nodded and closed his eyes.
At this time, it was originally done to take care of Lu Renjia, who was a little unwell, and finally Saito suddenly said, "Come and take a look, Lu Renjia seems to be a little wrong......"
At the same time, Zhan Lan also suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of Saito Ichi, "Something is wrong," she said to Qin Jing, "There is a person there whose spiritual energy suddenly becomes very low, as if it is ......"
"Get out of the way, Saitoichi!" Before Zhan Lan could finish speaking, Qin Jing had already taken the first step and yelled at Saitoichi, because he saw a faster figure rushing towards Saitoichi...... It was Lu Renjia, who looked like his limbs were weak just now!
His appearance has changed greatly at this moment, and his complexion, which was originally a little yellow and thin, now seems to be gray and black that only a dead man has, and his movements are so fast that before Saito can even turn his head, he was bitten by Lu Renjia who came out from behind.
"Ahh Saito screamed as he struggled to hold up the head that was now clinging to him, but now the strength of them was too different from each other, even if he desperately tried to shake off the figure behind him, in exchange for a more violent bite.
The blood splashed on Yi Bing Ding the moment Lu Renjia bit Saitoichi, but they only woke up now, and they scattered in a hurry, crawling around with their hands and feet, desperately trying to get away from that bloody place.
The screams in the whole small bus began to rise one after another, but the irony is that those screams came from the men who called themselves big men on weekdays, and the two women in the newcomer, Zhao Yingkong and Ming Yanwei, seemed much calmer, except for Zhao Yingkong, the killer, even Ming Yanwei was a little pale, but only calmly slowly retreated step by step.
"Damn" Qin Jing shouted angrily, and shot out a white thunder at the same time, and at the same time he reflected that there was also zero point where he instinctively raised his gun when he screamed, and the attacks of the two unexpectedly arrived in front of Lu Renjia at the same time and collided together, so that Lu Renjia, who should have been killed, magically dodged this fatal attack.
Lu Renjia, who had lost his mind and turned into a half-beast, clearly still had an instinct for danger, and he immediately sensed the threat posed by the two men in front of him.
I saw that he lifted the hundred-pound Saito up with just his mouth, and then threw it in the direction of Qin Jing and them, while he himself jumped to the side, smashed the glass of the bus and jumped out.
"Zero!" Qin Jing, who had taken Saitoichi, shouted towards Zero, who had already taken out his sniper rifle and aimed it outward from the broken glass window very tacitly.
The first shot was shot, but Lu Renjia took advantage of the situation and dodged it.
Unexpectedly, the mutated Lu Renjia was able to dodge the attack under a sniper rifle bullet with three times the speed of sound!
The second shot was too late.
"He's so flexible." Zero watched as the dark shadow ducked behind the arch before lowering the sniper rifle.
"We have to catch him, this test sample is very important for us to survive in this horror movie." I don't know when Chu Xuan had already stood up, his eyes fanatically looking at the direction where the black shadow had disappeared, as if it was not a monster that had escaped just now, but a pile of gold bars.
"Understood." Qin Jing nodded when he heard this, and his whole person flashed, disappearing from the window at a speed that was difficult for everyone to see.
The whole carriage fell silent, and the newlyweds were completely calmed, and they looked at each other with pale faces. From Lu Renjia's mutation as soon as Saito was bitten, to the person who looked like the captain of the team shot out a white light that looked like lightning, and then he suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, all this happened so fast that they didn't even have time to think...... It seems that only now did they realize that what the girl and the captain who explained to them were true, and that there were really injuries and deaths in this world......
Only Zhao Yingkong looked at the place where Qin Jing disappeared, his eyes lit up, "He's so strong......"
"You're not immune," a voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, "who are you?" ”
