All these things gave Zhou Yao reason to doubt, but in fact, he had long doubted it in his heart. When he used the video to force Li Li to leave, he was already suspicious.

It's just that Li Li's return made him have to slow down his plan and have two more days to calm down.

There are several kinds of renunciation, one is the blockade and encirclement in the face of the plague in ancient times, no entry or exit, and the sick people inside are left to fend for themselves, so as to protect more people outside from infection.

There is also banishment. In ancient times, leprosy patients were banished to the mountains or isolated islands, giving them a space to survive, both as exile and as a disguised protection.

But now they are neither.

If the research institute is enlarged from another angle, their city is not another research institute, a research institute that uses the entire city as a prison and has no researchers.

A small fourth-tier city, deprived of the rescue of its superiors, isolated and helpless, everyone is going through the process of mutation and fighting each other. They were struggling to save themselves, relying only on J Squadron, which had less than 100 men, and J Squadron, which was also 100 men......

Can...... Zhou Yao hesitated again.

Now it is not only their fourth-tier cities that have mutated, but also the whole country and the world, what is the purpose of such experimental research and such non-rescue? Is it really for ...... Crystal?

If the precondition is to get more high-quality crystals, everything has a reasonable explanation.

On the one hand, the crystals of the initial mutants were taken away, and on the other hand, the existence of the research institute and the continuous emergence of new mutant corpses made the public and those of them who were still in their posts understand the relationship between crystals and mutations.

Then, in the absence of rescue from above, the only way to survive is to rely on strength. Whether it's mutated people, or mutants like them who stand in a position of management, or people who don't mutate.

Zhou Yao didn't feel sad. I don't feel how sad it is to be an infected person who is also being used by others.

Since he was a child, he has been taught that the national interest is above all else, and even if they do become exiled and studied mutants, he does not feel angry.

In the face of a nationwide crisis, there are those who have been rescued, and there are those who have been abandoned.

What's more, he was standing in this research institute, and in the surveillance video in front of him, there were even more unfortunate people who were locked up by him and them.

However, he wouldn't just let it go.

He can't turn the tide in such a crisis, and he must always be worthy of his life.

He knew that although he thought he was calm at the moment, he was still not calm enough, and he still needed to think about it and ...... To be endorsed, to be supported.

But whether this is true or not, whether there is support or not, he will not give up.

Although I still want to think that his judgment is wrong.

It was a big decision that would affect him for the rest of his life.

What are you born for?

The big husband does something and doesn't do something.

Zhou Yao looked at the surveillance video in front of him, and his mind gradually became clear.

He once again pushed back the days before the chaos from start to finish, and then all the way to the present, he was sure that he was not making a decision on impulse.

However, there is another point he does not understand, he still needs the analysis of professionals.

Five minutes later, Zhou Yao and Professor Liu sat together.

Zhou Yao just asked, and then listened carefully, although he didn't understand the medical terms, but he would ask again until he understood—of course, only the meaning of the medical terms.

Zhou Yao didn't give Professor Liu any answer, and then sat down in front of Professor Liu, still asking questions and listening to answers. It's just that this time there are more problems.

Then there are the minus three layers.

Combined with what he knew from the outside, the ideas in his mind became clearer.

The person in charge of the third layer gave the same answer:

The crystals were created by some unknown virus.

In the history of evolution, there has not been a phenomenon of overnight evolution of the whole population.

Crystals are indivisible, and even diamonds cannot cut crystals.

The mood of the infected person is affected by the crystals, or the crystals affect the emotions of the infected person.

The infected are still in the realm of human beings.

The flesh and blood of infected individuals are rich in nutrients, including infected plants.

Cannibalism can increase the nutrient content of the body faster, and it will also attract the same kind of food desire more.

What the three people in charge don't know yet, and what the people outside know: crystals can also be absorbed, and if they absorb crystals, mutants will be stronger.

Zhou Yao finally stood in front of Guan Shouyi.

In the cell of the infected, it was the first time for Zhou Yao to see such a quiet and peaceful person.

Guan Shouyi's hair is neat, and his facial beard is also cleanly shaved. Zhou Yao noticed that there was an electric razor on the sink next to him.

Guan Shouyi's eyes are also very clear, obviously he is sleeping well, and there is a book at the head of the bed, the pages of which are a little unclosing, obviously he has read it carefully.

Although the cell is no different from the cell next to it, the sheets are flat, only a trace of sitting down, and the pillows and quilts are neat. Everything shows a good attitude of its owner.

The fence opened, and Zhou Yao and Guan Shouyi were separated by the raised fence, still one inside and one outside.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yao, the deputy leader of the J squadron."

Guan Shouyi looked at the young vice-captain outside the fence.

The uniform was soaked with sweat and evaporated white frost, but the neckline was meticulously tied. His face was stern and his eyes sharp, but his tense lips showed a vague uneasiness in his heart.

"Guan Shouyi." Guan Shouyi lightly reported his name, and did not rush to make other judgments about this unfamiliar squadron leader.

Hearing this name, Zhou Yao's expression changed, revealing a slight surprise: "I'm very surprised to meet Mr. Guan here." Mr. Guan is really indifferent, this is the so-called Mount Tai collapsed in front of the same color? ”

As long as it is a person in this city, there are few people who don't know Guan Shouyi's name. Zhou Yao had also heard of this name a long time ago, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet.

Guan Shouyi has always been reserved and low-key, and although he is said to be a successful person in business, he never attends any official events, stripping his business and his father's political achievements cleanly.

Of course, no one thought that he would be completely free of his father's political power.

People are like this, and they will make some kind of malicious speculation about what they can't get.

But now, when Zhou Yao clearly knew that the person opposite was Guan Shouyi, he suddenly believed the official statement.

If Guan Shouyi really used Guan Qiang's strength, at least, he wouldn't be locked up here.

But on the other hand, it can also be said that Guan Shouyi still relied on his father's strength, at least he was only locked up here, and he was not treated the same as other infected people.

Guan Shouyi said calmly: "People always have to face their own circumstances. ”
