Volume 1: The Eve of Doom Chapter 6
Wei Yilin, who didn't get a response, raised his head suddenly, and when he saw it, he was happy and angry, happy that there were no demons and monsters behind him, and the angry thing was that Bai Yunlian was squatting next to the body leaning against the wall shelf, as if he hadn't heard his order.
Wei Yilin wanted to change to a tough tone and call again, but when the words were about to come out, he thought about it again, Bai Yunlian's reaction when she heard the request for help was the most excited of the six, maybe the body was her friend before she died, in that case, let them stay longer. So, Wei Yilin turned around and checked the body buried in the "corpse mountain".
And at this moment, what Bai Yunlian is staring at is the line of blood words next to the body - the wind is sluggish, the water is cold, and the young man serves the country, what a pity to die
The finger that wrote this line stopped on the lower right side of the word "pity", and the finger was stained with the blood that had already coagulated, and the blood slid down the fingers of the corpse, forming a small lake on the cold floor, and at the end of the lake was a silver-white box, exactly like Bai Yunlian's. There was a small depression to the right side of the body's goggles, and the cap of the hazmat suit was still intact on the head.
Bai Yunlian gently took off the goggles of the corpse, and a few strands of black hair immediately fell on both sides of the corpse's cheeks, what was on the hair was flashing with a faint light, Bai Yunlian looked at it, it seemed to be water droplets, and like sweat beads, the corpse's cheeks were still intact, but they had lost their blood color, and they had been slightly distorted, and there was a thin film of water on the cheeks. Bai Yunlian stared at the body's closed eyes, as if she wanted to establish some kind of connection with the deceased in this way. As time passed, Bai Yunlian seemed to have succeeded, the face suddenly touched slightly, and the mist on her face also rippled, Bai Yunlian was slightly stunned, her slightly reddened eyes were aimed at this face, and in a trance, she thought she had an illusion.
No, it's not a delusion! The "remains" actually opened their eyes! This is a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, those eyes are like two deep lakes, clear and quiet, through which you can directly see the pure heart of the body, but at this moment in the center of the deepest part of the lake, there is a red mist is slowly rising, as time goes by, the mist is getting thicker and thicker, and the color is getting darker and darker, and gradually the fog spreads all over the lake, at this moment, the whites of the body's eyes suddenly cracked, and the criss-crossing blood completely shattered the purity of the lake.
"Roar" the body cried out, opening her cherry mouth, she had a mouthful of white teeth, which were pure white, not stained with a trace of variegation, but this white was also lifeless white. Bai Yunlian was completely shocked by the scene in front of her, but the infected didn't care about it, two blood-stained hands grabbed her neck with lightning speed, and then the small mouth pounced on Bai Yunlian's neck.
"Click" white teeth hit the mask hard, this huge impact force made Bai Yunlian's body rise back, maybe it was this movement, Bai Yunlian woke up from the shock, she immediately grabbed the infected's neck with both hands, pushed back desperately, and at the same time smashed her head towards the face of the infected, the infected didn't seem to expect her to come back like this, and when she couldn't catch it, she let go of her hand, her body was raised back, and she hit the shelf with a "bang" sound.
"What's going on?" It wasn't until now that the three "hearingless" and "unresponsive" guys in front of them noticed the abnormal movement behind them and hurriedly turned around.
At this time, the infected also came back to his senses and pounced forward, this time the force was much greater than the last time, Bai Yunlian was coldly thrown to the ground by her, and her shoulders slammed viciously on the counter, the infected grabbed Bai Yunlian's shoulders with both hands, and the mouth hit Bai Yunlian's neck again.
Bai Yunlian supported the ground with her left hand, so as not to bear too much load on her waist, and her right hand was a punch to the head of the infected, and the infected person couldn't reach it and was hit like this, on the side of her body, the hands holding Bai Yunlian involuntarily loosened, Bai Yunlian turned over suddenly, grabbed the neck of the infected with both hands and pushed it to the ground, and the infected person who had lost her balance immediately fell to the ground, Bai Yunlian raised her right fist and wanted to smash it down against the face of the infected, but she hesitated at this moment, just between the lightning and flint, The infected scrambled to their feet and grabbed Bai Yunlian's neck like they had done twice.
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flew over the counter, and then a large hand grabbed the infected's hat, and then pulled it back violently, the incubated's clothes were pulled like this, and the body retreated after habitually rushing forward a few centimeters, and the next moment, a cold light had pierced the eyes of the infected.
"Don't!" However, it was still a step too late, Wang Mingjun's multi-purpose saber was precisely inserted into the infected's right eye, almost piercing the infected, and after the infected screamed twice, he stopped struggling, and his body slowly softened.
"She's infected." Wang Mingjun explained.
"I know."
"And what do you want to do?"
Bai Yunlian was silent, but her hands were not idle, she first opened the box next to the infected, the blood preservation bag in the box was still empty, it seemed that the vulture team had been wiped out before they could make a gain.
Bai Yunlian opened her box, pulled out a small test tube and a hose with a needle attached, cut the sleeve of the infected with a saber, and did not apply alcohol, and pricked directly at the conspicuous blue-green between the white skin, and the dark red liquid slowly poured into the thumb-thick test tube.
"Captain, there's a situation at the back door." Qin Tianwu's voice suddenly came from the earphones, "Found a suspected survivor of the vulture team." β
This message is like a bombshell, exploding a spark of joy in everyone's hearts!
"Mingjun, be wary of the front door. The others followed me to the back to have a look. Wei Yilin's face showed a rare smile, and he rushed to the back door in three steps and two steps, "Where?" What about survivors? β
"Over there." Qin Tianwu stretched out his hand and pointed to the left side, Wei Yilin immediately looked in the direction he was pointing, there was indeed a figure wearing a silver-white chemical protective suit, walking towards this side step by step, Wei Yilin just raised his left hand, and was about to contact him through the communicator, but at this moment he froze, because his eagle-like eyes had already caught a trace of strangeness, and the survivor's hands were not on the rifle that should have been held by him, but on the ground on both sides of his body.
The smile on Wei Yilin's face gradually solidified and disappeared, only to see him slowly raise the submachine gun and observe the survivor through the scope above, the expression on his face became heavy again. The three people around him were also affected by him, and a sense of tension and uneasiness began to spread among everyone.
"How's it going?" Bai Yunlian's sweet voice can be regarded as unscrewing the pressure relief valve for everyone, releasing a trace of pressure, but there is only so much she can do. Because at the moment when her words fell, she also saw the "survivor" who was getting closer and closer, and anxiety and fear also took over her at this moment.
"Do you need a live infected?" These words were like throwing a bombshell into the wrong place of Ramla, and before Wei Yilin's words fell, there was a hint of inhalation in the earphones.
"Nope. I suggest that we should retreat! This is the first time that Bai Yunlian has made a proposal in terms of action.
"I agree." It was Qiao Wu who answered, and at that time, the "survivor" was only less than fifty meters away from everyone.
"We can't leave him behind." It was Zhong Wenfeng who raised the objection.
"He's dead." Wang Mingjun unceremoniously pushed back this sentence.
Huanzhou City under the sunset, colorful, pure color, trees over 30 years old have opened their crowns, through the still dense branches and leaves, absorbing the last nutrients brought by the residual sun, in order to prepare for the next slow long night. This is a residential area located at the junction of urban and rural areas, there are many nine-storey buildings in the area, one of which has a green and white exterior wall of the residential building, there is a parking lot for large vehicles, behind this parking lot there is an area of more than 1,000 square meters of wasteland, the wasteland is full of one-person high bushes, in the middle of the bushes stands a three-story red brick house, this house has been demolished in half, a broken beam hangs from the second floor, hanging in the air. On the north side of the wasteland is a communication base station, with a long antenna pointed straight into the bloody sky. On the west side of the wasteland, separated by a two-meter-high wall with an iron gate, is the Baxi River, which runs through the city of Huanzhou, and the river is about two meters deep. The bottom was covered with silt, but there was a pier outside the iron gate, and a wooden boat five meters long was tethered to the pier. On the other side of the river is the Huanzhou freight yard covering an area of 1,000 acres.
The gray wolf called out to the wolf's den and was about to report the situation. Repeat, debriefing soon. Wei Yilin climbed onto the roof of a tall high-pressure cleaning truck, holding an antenna in his hand to pull the longest satellite phone.
Twenty meters away from the washing truck, there is a double-storey prefabricated house for people to rest, there are three rooms on the second floor of the prefabricated house, two of which are covered with dust, but the middle one is relatively clean, giving people the feeling that someone lived here not long ago. Zhong Wenfeng stood at the end of the east side of the prefabricated corridor, holding a telescope and uneasily monitoring the only road to the parking lot.
"That's your friend, right?" Wang Mingjun's words interrupted Bai Yunlian's movements, and at this moment, the latter was taking advantage of the sunset on the horizon to deal with the contents of the box.
Bai Yunlian didn't speak, but opened the small box, Wang Mingjun swept his eyes, and his heart was like a big stone - five military cards wrapped in white paper. Bai Yunlian took off her rubber gloves, deftly picked up a bright silver, cold military badge with two fingers, and handed it to Wang Mingjun.
"Lin Qiuxue. Good name. β
"I don't blame you." Bai Yunlian put the general card back in the box, "It's just a little uncomfortable." β
Wang Mingjun's lips kept squirming, he really wanted to say something, to show it, to restore the relationship between the two parties to before this happened, but as the saying goes, "when the book is used, you hate less", no matter how he grinds his lips, but he can't organize a complete sentence with clear meaning.
"Knock", "knock" There was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the three of them turned their heads almost at the same time to see that it was Wei Yilin, and the three of them turned their faces back with still shock.
"Anyway, I beg you not to be alienated from me."
Bai Yunlian seemed to be amused by Wang Mingjun's words, she looked very sweet when she laughed, although it was not a comfortable smile: "I'm not a little girl anymore." β
"Bad news. The national team lost, 2.5 to 0. Wei Yilin stood at the door of the prefabricated room in the middle, and said in everyone's ears through the communicator, "Good news, we're all fine." β
Suddenly, except for Zhong Wenfeng, who was on guard, did not turn his head, no matter what he was doing, everyone else turned their eyes to Wei Yilin, their eyes were either surprised or sad or confused or frightened, and in everyone's ears, the cold wind that did not know how to be sympathetic began to whistle again, like the music of an elegy.
"Iroquois will arrive tomorrow morning at half-past seven, and it will bring us supplies. And take the samples we have taken. Wei Yilin pursed his lips, "With these few test tubes, each of us will receive a medal." He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone knows it - if we are blessed.
During the meal, the room was surprisingly quiet, except for the subtle sound of chewing, only the sound of "dripping, dripping" water outside the house. The sunset slowly disappeared behind the western mountains, and the sunset in the sky became more and more dim, and the heavy black clouds slowly covered the earth with a thick cover, and the people under this cover did not feel dull, but their chests were like pressing a big stone.
Qiao Wu seemed to be unable to bear such a depressing atmosphere, so he took a small piece of compressed biscuit and said, "Captain, tell me, what's wrong?" β
"The vultures are gone." Wei Yilin drank lightly, the stinging sensation of the cold water made him sober up a lot, and his mood calmed down a little, "The grizzly bear group lost the news after confirming that the bull shark group was martyred. β
"And what does Mr. Jia mean?"
Wei Yilin shook his head and poured another sip of cold water: "Three o'clock." 1. Find the earliest point of onset. 2. Confirm the specific time of the outbreak. 3. Be alive. β
"It's so easy." Zhong Wenfeng said lukewarmly.
On the wall on the right side of the room hangs a half-torn calendar, one of two pages, through which it is easy to confirm the time when the people in the room have leftβ17 and 18. The trash can on the side was full, and there was no shortage of calendar paper in it. Qin Tianwu clapped his palms, put on his rubber gloves again, and carefully rummaged through the trash can, checking out a crumpled calendar paper from time to time. These calendar papers have a characteristic, the back is painted full, and if you look closely, you can find that it is a painting, the painting is drawn with a ballpoint pen, which is very awkward, and it takes a lot of effort to recognize, it is a picture of ordinary life situations, and the people on the paintings are doing their own things in an orderly manner.
"Captain, the earliest one is November 2nd."
Wei Yilin nodded, this time is very consistent with the information he heard this morning, but if it is finally reported, it will be irresponsible. Wei Yilin also knew that in order to get accurate figures, they would inevitably face unimaginable difficulties, and the final result was very likely to be like the other three groups, but in this world, there are things that cannot be measured by "benefits". Is that really the case? As soon as he thought of this, Wei Yilin's heart immediately asked. Wei Yilin shook his head with a smile and muttered, "It's useless to think too much. β
"Yun Lian, you know this, what are your ideas?" Zhong Wenfeng asked suddenly, as soon as he said this, everyone's faces showed more or less sudden realization: Yes, the professional is next door to him, why should he go far away?
The eight eyes were like eight high-powered searchlights, hitting Bai Yunlian together, illuminating her subconsciously arching her hand in an attempt to block her face. But how could people forgive her so easily at this moment? The gaze staring at her grew hotter and hotter. In fact, how could Bai Yunlian have no ideas, but these ideas that were normal in the past, or in the safe area, now, every small step may need to pay the price of blood and tears. Although Bai Yunlian has only known the group of people in front of her for more than half a month, after all, they came out of the same system, and they probably know that "there are no conditions, create conditions." The meaning of this sentence, which is why she does not want to express her position.
"Hehe, you don't have an idea, do you?"
In Bai Yunlian's opinion, these words were clearly mockery, but she gritted her teeth and said: "Huanzhou Police Station Receiving Center, Huanzhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine." β
"Yunlian, the night is very long, it's okay to be long-winded." It was Wei Yilin who spoke, and when he spoke, he kept rubbing his arms, "This place is too terrifying, and it needs some human voices to suppress the shock." He originally wanted to achieve a humorous effect in this way, to ease the atmosphere, but the current atmosphere is really not funny.
"Infected people will take the initiative to attack normal people after the onset of the disease, so the alarm center will definitely receive a call about the attack of the 'crazy person', and if you find the earliest record, you can roughly confirm the time and place. Correspondingly, the hospital visit records can also give us a time frame for the appearance of a large number of bites, as well as the approximate time it took for the injured person to mutate. β
"Yes, it's easy."
