Section VIII. Serum

"How's it going over here?" Ling meets tired Joe.

"Ling, half and half, now those mongrels are already attacking the door, although there is no time to rest, but my old bones can still hold on. Why did Brie call the flight unit back, you know? Joe rubbed his brows, he didn't expect that just a bunch of mongrels would make him so troublesome.

"About this incident, is Pud meant, have you seen the other party's commander?" In fact, Ling came to the wall to confirm that the commander this time was not the adult that the eldest brother said last time!

"Not yet, I haven't seen it so far, and I've sent someone to investigate, but it seems that there are no humans in the other party. This is also very troublesome, and the association plans to watch from the sidelines. ”

“…… Because there is no human involvement? ”

"Well, Morley called me and said that the other circles had been told to take precautions, and no one was allowed to send troops easily this time. Last time in the third lap, because it was a riot among the civilians, the Hunters' Association agreed to Pude's trip, and this time it ......"

"Three laps...... Although the association and the government promised to rebuild, it was impossible to rebuild it in the current situation, the 'brain' had been destroyed, and there was no point in rebuilding, plus this incident. "Since the last turmoil, the three circles have been abandoned, the other circles are unwilling to help, and the government has dragged on and on, so now the three circles have become a 'high-level' civilian area, another lawless place.

"What about the situation in the circle? How's the epidemic going? Joe asked with concern.

"The pathogen has been found, and Ann and Rod are stepping up to develop medicines, which should be soon."

"Yesterday Brie called me and said that Henry ......" When I heard the news of Henry's death, I was surprised that it was so sudden......

"Yes. Don't tell anyone else just yet......"

"Ling, do you know anything about the 'garden'?" Joe asked.

"Garden? That botanical and botanical garden? What's wrong? Ling was puzzled.

"Oh, it's okay, I just heard that a lot of sandflies were found over there." It turns out that Pud has really been hiding the matter of Ling's arsenal all along. Henry's death is too great a loss to Pudde, but Pud should have thought of a countermeasure.

"Yes, Kaoru also said that the garden is suitable for the life of sandflies."

"Newspaper! The guards at the south gate asked the general to come over, the situation is urgent! ”

"Got it. Ling going with me? ”

"Hmm. Oh, I'll take a call. Ling's phone rang.

"Then I'll go first."

"Hmm."

"Ling? The matter of serum, we already have eyebrows, Kaoru let me inform you, if it is convenient for you to come to the research institute? Elian's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you! Come back for a moment! Zhuge Xun snatched the phone in Elian's hand and said to Ling.

"Okay. I'll go back. "There shouldn't be anything big on Joe's side. Joe is also a battle-hardened warrior, so he doesn't need himself.

Research Institutes:

"What's wrong with calling me back in a hurry?" Ling used the key to come to the research institute.

"This." And I saw a 'potbelly bottle' in Elian's hand. "It's the antidote to suppress this infection."

"So soon, clinical trials?"

"Hmm......" Orr on one side looked embarrassed. Miss An called Ling back to tell you about this serum. ”

"According to the data we have obtained, it is basically possible to determine the identity of various infected people in the circle, and this serum has been physically verified, and it is indeed effective for sandfly infection, as long as the 'mother-like' injection of 3 ml of this serum can kill the parasitic sandflies in the infected person's body. Ordinary infected people only need to take the antimicrobial drugs developed by Ms. An to deal with atypic infections and slowly cure...... "Rhodes said.

Ling found that they were halfway talking, slurring and slurping. "Any questions?"

"I'll tell you. Serum is available, but now there is a problem: the life span of the infected 'mother' who has been injected with serum is only ten days, and we found a newly infected 'mother' who injected the serum and found that although the parasitism of the sandfly disappeared, the internal organs of the infected person were damaged and weakened at a rate of ten times, which means that even if he was saved, he would be able to live for ten days at most. And if he is infected twice, he can only die. Those deep 'mothers', even if they have been injected with serum, will die. The function of this serum is only to ensure the elimination of the parasitism of sandflies.

And...... If ordinary infected people and healthy people are injected with this serum, they will become like that. Zhuge Xun motioned to Ling to look at the room next to the laboratory.

Ling followed Zhuge Xun's gaze and saw a grumpy alien locked up in the room next to him? No, it's supposed to be a zombie, but it's not like a ...... The creature, estimated to be human, was 60 percent ulcerated, and counting, pounding against the glass walls of the laboratory in a furious manner.

Arian's ability to pass through the vents of the glass room and shoot the creature at it. The bullets in the gun are special bullets that hunters usually deal with different shapes. Although the creature had been shot, it did not feel anything, and instead became even more manic.

"Not so long ago, he was just an ordinary infected person, and after being injected with serum, he became like this. And he also has an 'immortal' body, this bullet has no effect on him at all, and there is only one way to free him. Arian glanced at Rod.

"Do you really want to do it?" Rod hesitated. He then slammed an incendiary bomb into the creature's body, and the flames enveloped it, and in a few moments it was burned to ashes. The people in the room watched everything happen like this, and even Ling, who had killed countless aliens, couldn't help frowning. Rhodes turned on the automatic fire extinguisher in the room and extinguished the remaining sparks.

"Ling, this is all the serum. It's up to you to decide what to do. "Arian handed the 'potbelly bottle' in his hand to Ling.

Ling didn't answer. "It should be up to Pude to decide how to use him. I don't have the right. "On the one hand, the injected serum can only live for about ten days, and on the other hand, the improper use of the serum will bring more serious consequences. I don't have the decision-making power, how to use it.

"I haven't told my father yet. Because of Henry's matter, we all think that only you will really use this serum correctly. ”

"yes." Rhodes and Orr agreed with Elian's decision.

"Is there no other way? It's only been two days, and you can experiment a few more times, and maybe you can find a better way. Ling didn't want to give up.

"No more. This is the only serum that can kill sandflies. It should be that the other party has long thought that we will develop an antidote serum, which is why the infection of sandflies is so complicated. Otherwise, in two days, no matter how powerful Elian, Rhodes and Orr were, they would not have been able to find the serum in such a short time. Zhuge Xun said.

There was silence for a long time......

"All here? Are these enough? Ling asked, taking the bottle.

"Yes. Kaoru said that there will be no more than 30 'mothers' in the circle. The others are all ordinary infected people, and this bottle should be enough for fifty people. As for antimicrobials, I can go back to the central circle, I should have a stock there. Arian said.

"Then I'll leave the injection of the serum to Kaoru and I."

"I'll go with you. I'm also a doctor. Rhodes was ready to change his clothes.

Just as everyone was about to go out, they felt the house shake and the earth tremble! This was followed by a loud explosion.

"Earthquake?" Zhuge Xun's first reflection.

"What's going on?" Orr asked the people who came in from outside.

"Oh no, the sky above the second lap has been attacked! It was a blast that had just taken place over the circle. Now looking for the cause. ”

"There will be no earthquake in the second circle. When my father chose the second lap, he took this into account. So the geography of the second circle should be absolutely safe. Arian explained to Zhuge Xun.

"Flying troops!" Ling and Zhuge Xun thought of the possibility at the same time. Could it be that the enemy really controlled Pude's flying troops, but the troops did not go to support!

"This side ......" Ling looked at the 'serum' in her hand, and was worried about the situation on the other side of the wall......

"Leave it to me. I'll do it! Arian looked at Ling firmly. This man he likes very much, he may not respond to his feelings at all, but he still hopes to help him and become his pillar......

"I'll protect Miss Ann!" Rod assured Ling.

"You have to be careful......" Ling believed in Arian and handed the serum to Ann.

"Miss An, please bring this with you." Zhuge Xun handed a piece of paper with a pentagram in his hands to Elian and Rod.

"It's ......," the two put away.

"Maybe Fang Liang is still in the circle...... This will give you a chance to escape if you are in danger. The infection in the circle will be handed over to you. I went to the side of the support wall with Ling ......, "I think I know that it must be the flying unit sent by Pude, I really can't hold my breath, after all, I am old, isn't my thinking so comprehensive......

"Thank you. Go ahead, and be sure to guard the second circle. Elian suddenly grabbed Ling and dropped a kiss on his cheek. Be safe. ”

"Let's go." Zhuge Xun has opened the 'Gate of Time' and told Ling to leave.

"Miss Ann......"

Rod's voice brought Arian back from his distraction. "Let's go, this time we must destroy all those white Grim Reapers!"

"You want to ......," Orr was about to say something, but before he could finish speaking, he fell straight down.

"Orr...... How did you...... What am I ......? Rod stared at the extra tip of the knife on his chest in bewilderment, and then collapsed in a pool of blood with a stunned face......

"Ahh Elian saw two men who suddenly appeared in front of him, one of them was wearing the same clothes as Zhuge Xun, the ancient Chinese man should be Zhuge Fangliang, and the other, before he could see it clearly, he felt a warm current flowing down his neck. "No...... Yes...... To you...... Is that...... Vital...... Come back...... Ling vs. ...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Elian fell with tears in the corners of his eyes, and the last sight in his eyes was the departed backs of the two men and the serum that had been taken away......

"Set fire to this scientific research institute...... the man said to Zhuge Fang Liang beside him, shaking the serum in his hand.

"Yes."

"Ah, ah, no matter how many times, Uncle Ben just doesn't like this place for scientific research. I was so careless, if this thing leaked out, my plan would fail. It's okay, it's okay. The man and Zhuge Fang Liang disappeared into the scientific research center shrouded in fire.

Second Circle Wall:

"What's wrong? Cauterize? Ling noticed Zhuge Xun's expression.

"No, it's fine." I didn't expect to use that array so quickly, did something happen to them? With the protection of that array, I guess I'll be able to get out safely. Now is not the time to be distracted, there are not so many things in front of you!

"How long can Kaoru last? It's all me who was too sloppy! Pude regretted that he should not have disobeyed Zhuge Xun's words and sent out the flying unit, and now two of the new bombers equipped with 'rushing bombs' in the flight unit have been controlled by the enemy to deal with the weak part of the air above the circle. The blow just now had caused cracks to appear in the sky above, and the 'brain' was paralyzed for a moment, and now Zhuge Xun was using the two gods 'White Tiger' and 'Xuanwu' under his control to try to maintain the safety of the sky above.

"I can't hold on for long, because of the bullet in my heart, it's already my limit for 'White Tiger' and 'Xuanwu' to appear at the same time, but apart from the two of them, there is no other Shikishen to support the cracks that appear. Ling ...... "Zhuge Xun hopes that Ling can find a way."

"How many rounds of ammunition are there on board?" Ling asked Pudder.

"Of the two, one should have three rounds left, and the other five rounds left. I've already recalled the rest. Pudd said.

"Kaoru, you're holding on. Pude, there is no other way but to destroy those two planes. ”

"But......" Brie hesitated.

"How sure are you?" Pudd asked.

"Half."

"Okay, you go for it!" Pud nodded in agreement.

"Ling, take my Shikishen with you." Zhuge Xun reluctantly summoned another dog god. "It will protect you." The summoned dog god followed Ling's side.

"I'm leaving." Ling led the dog god into the 'Gate of Time'.

"Pudde. Ling is different from me, he will be wholeheartedly for people, wholeheartedly for you, a friend, but I will not...... But Ling is my friend, so I don't want anyone to take advantage of his kindness......"

"Mr. Kaoru......"

"Report! There was a fire at the research institute, and the fire was too big to ......"

"How's the staff?"

“…… Already ......"

"Where's Ilian! Did anyone see her? Zhuge Xun asked.

"Still looking for ......"

"What's going on? What's wrong with Ann? Pude looked at Zhuge Xun with a flustered expression.

"The serum for this infection has been developed, and Miss An is taking it to the infected area to inject the serum......"

"Go and send someone to find Ann with all your might, and you must protect her!" Pud commanded the comer.

"Yes!"

"Ann, you must be safe, Henry has just left, I can't lose one!"

"Don't worry, it should be fine." Zhuge Xun comforted Pude. That array should protect her, unless Fang Liang finds that piece of paper...... It's redundant to think about these now, and my spiritual power consumption is a bit large. How's going on Ling's side?
