Chapter Twenty-Five: The Walking Dead

He returned to 139, and when he entered the house, Lin Shan was talking to Bai Yuan.

"This second-level zerg is called the iron beetle, it can spray venom, it has only recently appeared in this vicinity, the next mission, you will run away when you encounter it, its brain is in the center of his huge body, and the weakness is very difficult to find, even if it is a Gauss gun, it is completely useless to hit the brain located in the core of its body."

Bai Yuan held her chin, took a pen to write and draw on the paper, and looked up at Lin Shan from time to time. At this time, when she saw Su Zhuo coming in, she smiled and said, "Su Zhuo, do you want to come and listen to Uncle Lin Shan's lecture too, it's very useful!" ”

"Not yet," Su Zhuo said with a smile, "I have to get something for Squadron Leader Zheng Jun." ”

Su Zhuo walked towards his room, and Lin Shan said to Bai Yuan, "You see, this kid is very effective against the iron beetle, and his perverted feeling will tell him, 'Hey, boy, you have to shoot there', and the iron beetle died." ”

Bai Yuan smiled with a smile, and Su Zhuo came out of the house, carrying a box containing the battle armor in his hand, "Uncle Lin Shan, you're making fun of me again." ”

Lin Shan pretended to be serious and said: "How can I make fun of it, what I said is obviously the truth." ”

After saying goodbye to them, Su Zhuo went to Zheng Jun's office again, where Dr. Ruan Xin was already there. Su Zhuo greeted Dr. Ruan Xin, then opened the box containing the armor and took out the small box containing the blue worm crystal nucleus.

"Dr. Ruan Xin, you should have brought a box with crystal nuclei."

"Oh, I brought it." Ruan Xin took out a box, Su Zhuo opened the external box, and then took out the crystal nucleus as brilliant as a gem, when he took out the crystal nucleus completely, he suddenly had a feeling of hesitation, the crystal nucleus seemed to have some kind of mysterious magic, which deeply attracted him. At this time, Dr. Ruan Xin and Zheng Jun were staring at Su Zhuo's eyes. Fortunately, the latter's eyes quickly returned to clarity, he shook his head, and said a little strangely: "I don't know if it's an illusion, the blue crystal nucleus seems to have become a little smaller than yesterday." ”

"Maybe your body automatically absorbs its energy." Dr. Nguyen Thanh said.

"Really?" Su Zhuo stared at Dr. Ruan Xin, whose wise gaze made Su Zhuo shake suddenly, and he took a step back and looked at the crystal nucleus in Dr. Ruan Xin's hand in disbelief.

"Is it it?" He suddenly uttered this inexplicable sentence. Dr. Ruan Sin's brow furrowed, he was wearing a pair of gloves of special material, and he was now looking at the blue crystal nucleus, "Maybe." ”

After saying this, Dr. Ruan Xin put the crystal nucleus into the box, and it was not until he closed the box that he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, exhaled lightly and said, "Give me the armor too, and return you a new armor in three days." ”

Su Zhuo's heart was now occupied by a strange feeling, feeling empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important, and this feeling became even worse as he watched Dr. Ruan Xin walk out of the room.

"Su Zhuo, are you okay?" Zheng Jun said.

"It's fine." Su Zhuo nodded and left.

When he returned to his quarters and walked to a place where no one was around, he gave himself two slaps to sober himself up. "It's just a crystal nucleus, and there will be one later." He told himself, but it didn't seem to be of much use, and now as soon as he closed his eyes, the brilliant and beautiful blue crystal nucleus appeared in front of him.

He returned to 139, Lin Shan Baiyuan invited him to go out to eat together, he agreed, and when he arrived at the restaurant, Nie Ping sat alone to eat, Lin Shan invited Nie Ping to come over, and the latter agreed.

Su Zhuo rarely spoke because he felt unwell, and Nie Ping was also worried, so only Lin Shan and Bai Yuan were talking at the table of the four people, and the four of them hurriedly ended this somewhat embarrassing meal, and just when the dinner was about to end, Nie Ping, who was sitting next to Su Zhuo, suddenly asked: "Su Zhuo, your father is Lieutenant General Su Zhonghua?" ”

"Huh?" Su Zhuo was stunned, he had never told anyone about this background, of course, if someone deliberately wanted to pay attention to him, it would not be difficult to get his information. So he nodded.

But this is just an episode, except that when it was time to leave, Lin Shan apologized to Nie Ping, saying that he had some problems with his words before, and asked her not to mind, everyone is a comrade-in-arms who has lived and died, and always will be.

It was the first time Su Zhuo saw Lin Shan so serious, in addition to the time when he was training himself, he also let him see the other side of Lin Shan, Nie Ping seemed to be touched by his words, and finally said the most words today, she said: "I'm just a little unaccustomed to it, these days, the names that have finally been recognized by the faces one by one have disappeared one by one." Give me a little time, and I'll get better. With that, she turned and walked away. Su Zhuo noticed that Bai Yuan was looking at Lin Shan with a sparkling gaze, just like the gaze he had seen from Lan Xin back then.

Lin Shan sighed, "Let's go back." ”

Back at 139, Lin Shan said: "Recently, several new Zergs have appeared here in Yuhang, let me introduce them to all of you, and the next time you encounter them, you will have a good response." ”

"Hmm." Su Zhuo and Bai Yuan sat on either side of Lin Shan.

Lin Shan took out a handheld computer and projected an image between the three people, "I have already talked about this iron beetle before, and there is a relatively small kind of worm, only one meter long, about 20kg, but it is very flexible, called Black Wasp." The dexterity of the black wasp, Su Zhuo, I'm not even sure if your senses are useful when dealing with them, but the current way to deal with this kind of zerg is to send out the ice men to freeze their wings, slow them down, and then kill them. But we don't have ice players at our Yuhang base, so we'll have to find another way. ”

What Su Zhuo saw was a video of the battle, in the cramped room, three black wasps besieged a powerful violent, the wide sword in the violent's hand danced like the wind, but it couldn't touch the black wasp at all, and was finally stung by the black wasp all over the body, and fell to the ground and died. When the three black wasps began to eat the bodies of the violent ones, Lin Shan turned off the video.

"So as you can see, it's very difficult to entangle, but it's only classified as a second-level zerg, because if you give this kind of zerg a slap in the face, they may be slapped to death. The question is whether you can capture them or not. Lin Shan said slowly.

Bai Yuan asked, "Then how should we kill them?" ”

"I've talked to Zheng Jun and a few people from the Army's War Department, and now I'm asking Dr. Ruan Xin and Dr. Li Cheng to help me invent a refrigeration gun. When the Black Hornet approaches, we can create a cold environment with this gun, so that it is as if we have countless ice men, and this gun is now under development, and it is expected to be put into use soon. ”

Su Zhuo said: "But if, I mean if, it's like the last time I was alone and didn't have a refrigeration gun on me, what should I do?" ”

"In that case...... Lin Shan showed a thoughtful look, and then spread his hands, "Then I can only wish you good luck." So we're talking about having to have a refrigeration gun for everyone when the time comes. ”

Bai Yuan said: "It's just a second-level zerg, is it really necessary to spend such a big price?" ”

"There are a lot of them." Lin Shan moved the computer, the screen changed, and Su Zhuo recognized that it was a place near the base, and there were at least 5 black wasps. "Now they have replaced the white-striped mantis as the most widespread zerg in this area."

"The Yuhang base model has now been compiled into a teaching material, and more than 320 underground bases around the world are under construction, and after many years, the names of your group will definitely be remembered by the world." The admiral on the screen said with a smile.

"Thank you, General, for the compliment." In the office, Zheng Jun saluted, although the person in front of him was far away in Beijing, but Zheng Jun's respect for him has not diminished at all, today's Beijing City, with 800,000 soldiers and a population of more than 10 million, is the world's largest human base. But while the city of Beijing seems to be very stable, there are now more than 10 underground bases under construction.

"I'm in touch with you today, in addition to listening to your debriefing, there is actually one more thing I want to announce to you."

"General, please."

"Because the previous commander of the base garrison, Major General Zhang Yanchun, was killed, and now the Yuhang underground base lacks a new leader, and you have to be in charge of both the transformer and the daily affairs of the base, which is too hard, so I plan to send a person from Hangzhou to Yuhang."

Zheng Jun felt uneasy in his heart, and he said: "But General, Hangzhou is far away from here, and there are constant insect tides along the way, so I'm afraid it will be very dangerous." ”

The admiral smiled, as if he could see what the old subordinate was worried about: "You don't have to worry about this, there will be someone to protect his safety along the way, all you have to do is to welcome him near the base." ”

"Yes." Zheng Jun replied helplessly.

"Su Zhuo, come and drink!"

The colorful lights flickered, Su Zhuo held a glass of sweet milk in his hand, looked at Lin Shan and the others who were dancing on the dance floor, just wanted to refuse, suddenly thought about it, put down the milk, took a large glass of beer handed over by the American man wearing a red T-shirt and blue eyes in front of him, raised his head and poured most of the cup, the yellow liquid overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and cheers sounded around him.

The man in the red T-shirt said, "That's good, Uncle Lin Shan, look, Su Zhuo doesn't drink milk anymore!" ”

There was laughter around, Su Zhuo shook his head with a wry smile, and put down his wine glass.

The man in red in front of him is called George, and his ancestors are said to be American, but his ancestors have settled in China for a long time, and he himself is of mixed Chinese and American descent. Even Uncle Lin Shan, who has always boasted of his manly charm, has to admit that George is a handsome guy.

This is a bar in the entertainment area on the 7th floor of the basement, Lin Shan saw that Su Zhuo was in low spirits, and after talking about the habits of several zergs, he took him and Bai Yuan here, and greeted more than 20 members of the second team. Recently, because of the arrival of the new Zerg, all the reformers have stood still, and they have been idle.

"Su Zhuo, it's your first time drinking a bar?" A black girl sitting on the other side laughed and said that the black girl, Serra, came from an ancient royal family in Africa, but she seemed to have a strong interest in the more ancient China and was determined to marry a real Chinese man.

"Not really!" Su Zhuo waved his hand, he had the experience of drinking before, but he had never drunk so much at one time like today, George They are not good things, and now he has been deceived and coaxed him to drink 3 large glasses of this kind of wine that he still can't name.

"Okay, don't bully Su Zhuo, he's still a kid, it's not good to drink too much." Charles, who was mature and steady on the side, said that Charles was a very rare but very valuable healer, and any skin injury, as long as he gently stroked it, would not show any traces of injury, including the internal tissues. Even the broken capillaries were gently stroked through the wound by him, and they could be compounded flawlessly. Of course, he is also very good at healing broken bones, and to this day, I don't know how many reformers have been saved from death by this kind uncle who came to China only two months before the end of the world.

"Haha, uncle, you're not a child, come and have two drinks with me." George sat down and began to pester Uncle Charles, who showed a thoughtful look and said seriously, "Are you sure you want to drink with me?" ”

The people around him began to laugh, and Serra said, "George, you're going to be unlucky, I haven't seen anyone drink to win Uncle Charles!" ”

"Uh......" George was stunned, but then he straightened up, "Then he has met an opponent today, come on, Uncle Charles, I want everyone to understand who is the real 'Bacchus'." As he spoke, he raised a large glass of beer in his hand and poured it up.

Charles also raised his glass, and then raised his head to drink.

The people around him suddenly coaxed, and Su Zhuo was tricked into drinking several beers again, he felt his mind gradually dizzy, and then fell asleep on the table.

"He's not a drinker."

"Maybe, send him back now."

In a daze, he felt like he was back in his room.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a strange place, he was dizzy, shook his head, and gradually became conscious, and then he was a little surprised, only to notice that he was now in the office of squadron leader Zheng Jun. There were more people in the office than he had ever been before, Zheng Jun, Lin Shan, Nie Ping, Zhou Miao, Li Cheng, Dr. Ruan Xin, Dr. Zhang Miao, and three people he didn't recognize.

"What's going on? Why is everyone here? Su Zhuo shook his head and asked.

Lin Shan looked at Su Zhuo, frowned and asked, "Do you really not remember anything?" ”

Su Zhuo said suspiciously, "Remember...... What the? He realized that his hands were tied behind his back, and he was stunned, not knowing what was happening.

Dr. Zhang Miao said solemnly: "You just went to the eighteenth floor of the basement to steal the blue worm crystal nucleus, and after being discovered, you also intended to kill me and Dr. Ruan Xin. ”

"What?" Su Zhuo's body immediately perked, "How is it possible, I obviously went to a bar with the people in the team to drink, and then ......"

"And then what's wrong?" Zheng Jun's face was not very good-looking, and Su Zhuo said, "Then I fell asleep." ”

Lin Shan said: "I personally sent him back." Then I went back to my room, and I don't even know when he left. ”

Hearing Lin Shan's words, Su Zhuo's eyes widened: "Uncle Lin Shan, are you saying that I really went to steal the blue worm crystal nucleus, and also intended to kill Dr. Ruan Xin and Dr. Zhang Miao?" ”

Lin Shan sighed, "Although I firmly believe that you are not that kind of person, this is a fact that has happened. ”

"Su Zhuo, you should be able to understand how serious this problem is," Zheng Jun said solemnly, "Now, we need to look at you for a while, and before we investigate the truth of the matter, we hope that you can cooperate with us." ”

"Okay." Su Zhuo nodded, he was now thinking about what had happened during the time he had been unconscious.

Someone came in and took Su Zhuo away, and there were more than a dozen cells made of titanium alloy in the deeper part of the second basement, although this kind of cell could no longer help some people, but they all believed that for Su Zhuo, this kind of cell was still useful.

"I want to be able to see the surveillance video of me while I'm in a coma." Before leaving the room, Su Zhuo made one last request.

"No problem."

Seeing Su Zhuo walking out, Zheng Jun said: "The interior has also begun to be unstable. ”

"I think there must be something else hidden in Su Zhuo's matter, I have been inseparable from him for more than two months, and I know what kind of person he is." Lin Shan said.

"I also believe in him as a person." "And when I saw Su Zhuo holding a gun at me, that person was not at all like Su Zhuo in his usual life, and although I saw him captured and sent here, I still insisted that these two people were completely different." His consciousness was visibly faint, as if he were sleepwalking. ”

Li Cheng frowned at this time and said, "Could it be that he is too eager to get a level 5 crystal nucleus, so this is the case?" I think his energy capacity has skyrocketed to 101C, which is not unrelated to the blue worm crystal nucleus. ”

Zheng Jun said: "If this is the case, he doesn't need to hand over the blue worm crystal nucleus at all, 2 tons of gold is not difficult for him to earn as long as he is willing to spend time." ”

As he spoke, he began to play the video of Su Zhuo from the previous time, from the corridor where he appeared in the residential area, and then entered the elevator to the eighteenth basement floor. People noticed that Su Zhuo on the picture was like a walking corpse, with slow movements and dull eyes.

The little girl Zhou Miao frowned at this time and said, "And there is one thing that I think is very strange, he obviously has the ability to perceive, why did he shoot twice in a row and not hit Dr. Ruan Xin's vital point?" I'm sorry Doctor, I don't mean to be offended, I mean that if Su Zhuo, who had been on several missions before, wanted to kill Dr. Ruan Xin, you would have been able to stand here a long time ago, Doctor. ”

Dr. Nguyen Xin nodded, "That's true. ”

"Look?" Nie Ping walked to the computer and paused the video that was playing, "Look at this." ”

Everyone looked in the direction that Nie Ping was pointing, and this scene was facing Su Zhuo, so the expression on his face could be seen clearly.

"Behold, his eyes." Nie Ping took a few steps closer and pointed at Su Zhuo's eyes.

Nie Ping said this, which attracted everyone's attention, and people looked at Su Zhuo's eyes, and Li Cheng suddenly said, "There is a little blue light in the core of the eyes. ”

"Not a reflex!" Dr. Nguyen said he didn't notice it when it was stressful, but now he realises that it could be the crux of the matter.

"What does this mean?" Lin Shan looked at Zheng Jun and then at Dr. Ruan Xin.

Li Cheng said: "The energy of the blue worm crystal nucleus is blue, and Su Zhuo has the energy of the blue worm crystal nucleus in his body, which cannot be said to be a coincidence. You say......" he paused, "could it be the crystal nucleus of the Zerg, still carrying willpower?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire office suddenly fell silent.
