Chapter 27: The Ghoul Hunt (3)
Zhao Gao frowned, reached out and touched the nylon cloth on the inside of the cage, bringing up a hand of transparent mucus, like clear water and snot...... The young man got up and scanned that the slime was coming from outside the cage, from under the rubble into the cage, as if an oversized snail or slug had crawled over it, leaving wet footprints on the ground and floor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ ๏ฝ๏ฝfo
The bait in the cage is gone, but the cage itself is intact.
"Judging by the traces......," Zhao Gao said, "this thing hasn't been gone for long, and it shouldn't be more than four hours." โ
"Is it a ghoul?"
Zhao Gao shook his head, "Not necessarily, it could also be some kind of lurker." โ
"What are we going to do next?"
"Bring the bait and gear up." Zhao Gao replied, "We need to confirm whether this thing is a ghoul or not." โ
"How do you confirm?" Lu Xun asked.
Zhao Gao turned around and pointed to his eyes, "Confirm with your eyes." โ

"I heard that Zhao Gao's kid went to the other side of the river?" The middle-aged man squatted down and pulled open the wine cabinet, "You don't stop it?" โ
"Why are you holding back?" Maxwell Sean sat on the couch with black tea in his hand.
"Isn't it a serious violation of the rules to enter the restricted area without permission? Shouldn't you tie him up and throw him into a confinement cell? The middle-aged man poked his head into the wine cabinet.
"Then I should be the first to tie you up and throw you into the confinement cell." The colonel smiled.
"Hey! Hey! I'm serious, I'm not kidding you! You know how dangerous it is in the restricted area. The middle-aged man took out a bottle of Lafite and put it on the coffee table, this 205 ability to look at wine is a must, his vision is really a thief, and he casually found the most expensive bottle in the cabinet.
"I'm serious too." The old man raised his eyebrows, "Zhao Gao's purpose in going to the other side of the river is to capture the ghouls. โ
"Ghouls?" The middle-aged man was stunned, and the movement of the cork in his hand paused, "Is there really such a thing as a ghoul in the world?" Isn't this a legend? Something like the Loch Ness Monster? โ
The middle-aged people were taken aback, although they listed the ghouls as one of the three major zombie xenomorphs, but in fact, human beings have very little relevant intelligence and information, and there are only a handful of suspected ghoul attacks recorded in history for decades, the most widely known of which is the famous "human skin resurrection case", which is full of weird horror movie style from beginning to end, and middle-aged people thought that this was a thriller novel written by someone when they first read the relevant dossier.
Since no one in the entire academy had actually seen ghouls, and the belief that ghouls existed was based on only two historical records, ghouls were considered by many to be an urban freak like the New York sewer crocodile, which could be used as an after-dinner conversation, but not enough to be a serious research topic.
Now Zhao Gao said that he was going to catch the ghouls...... To the middle-aged man, what the boy did was as ridiculous as threatening to capture the Loch Ness Monster.
"Anna, that kid thinks ghouls exist." Sean bowed his head and took a sip of tea, "And she seems to have enough evidence that there are ghouls in Shanghai." โ
"As far as I know, the ghoul seems to be a formless creature?" The middle-aged man pulled out the cork on the top of the bottle and gently shook the bottle, "How are they going to grab a pool of flowing liquid?" Do you bring it back in a jar? โ
"White Gin." The old man said lightly.
"Already developed?" The middle-aged man shook his hand and almost knocked over the goblet on the side.
Sean nodded, got up and opened the drawer of his desk, took out a glass injection from the wooden box, and paused it on the table.
"Oh my God......" The middle-aged man leaned up to take a closer look, and exclaimed softly, his eyes narrowed as if admiring the brilliant jewels, and the old face full of scars involuntarily showed heartfelt praise and amazement, as if the colonel had just lifted the curtain, and such an outstanding work of art as the Mona Lisa was displayed in front of his eyes.
There are more than half bottles of colorless transparent liquid in glass bottles, and middle-aged people can understand the value of this potion better than anyone else, just like Oppenheimer at the end of World War II slapped the blueprints of the atomic bomb on Roosevelt's desk, which is a powerful weapon enough to turn the tide of war, and it is the hope of mankind.
"The original ingredient of white gin is only 0.3 milliliters, what you see now is the elixir that has been diluted 1000 times, there are a total of 150 milliliters in this bottle, this is only half, and the other half is in Zhao Gao's hands." Sean said, "Anna used a total of 600 milliliters of Lu Xun's blood...... The next white gin is being made in the lab and is expected to be completed next month. โ
"Can this thing really kill a hunter?"
"In vivo experiments have already been done." Sean nodded, "The last time the Executive Department caught a marauder and came back, Anna tested the effects of the drug on it, and the final results showed ...... The potion in your hand can quickly kill all cells infected by the Doomsday Virus, and two hundred milliliters of white gin can kill all the Marauders we currently know. โ
"Oh my God, oh God, oh God......" The middle-aged man stared, trembling with excitement, he pounced on the old man's shoulders and grabbed him tightly, "Oh my God, my old man, do you know what we did?" We've got a nuclear bomb! Nuclear bombs, you know what? โ
Sean pushed the middle-aged man's bearded old face away as he tried to climb up and kiss him.
"Don't rejoice too soon." The old man's tone was serious, he was obviously not as excited as the middle-aged man, "The production of white gin is still extremely limited, one or two hundred milliliters of medicine can't turn the tide of the battle, the laboratory must have Lu Xun's blood to make white gin, but Lu Xun's blood is only a little bit." โ
"Lu Xun's blood?" The middle-aged man sat down, "I remember the last time Zhao Gao kicked your field, and he also demonstrated it for you...... That young man's blood can devour the Doomsday Virus, right? โ
Sean nodded.
"What an incredible young man." The middle-aged man exclaimed, "We don't know anything about his identity and origin, who would have thought that he would become our hope?" Old man, you wanted to get rid of him before...... Do you understand the value of that kid now? You almost ruined the future of all of us, you know? His blood can kill the doomsday virus, and he is the dawn of all mankind. โ
The old man snorted coldly.
"What? Not convinced? If you have the ability, you can also let a bloody head-killing hunter show me? โ
"I don't know why Lu Xun's blood can destroy the doomsday virus, but it just shows that he is not a normal person." The colonel whispered, "Old friend, you are too optimistic, haven't we seen enough tragedy along the way?" That young man is completely unknown to us, we all know more about hunters than he does, and everything unknown is dangerous in this world...... I thought you should be well aware of this. โ
"You think he's dangerous, and you're putting him in the hummingbird group?"
"He was placed in the hummingbird hunting team to better monitor him and isolate him from the general public." The old man leaned back against the sofa and let out a sigh, "In the zero-distance magazine...... There will always be a bullet for him. โ
"Old man!" The middle-aged man was surprised.
"It's a necessary precaution, old friend...... I agreed not to hurt him, but I also had to prepare for the worst. The colonel sighed, "I secretly instructed him to keep a surveillance of the land patrol, and if he found anything abnormal, he would immediately report it to me, and if it was a last resort, he would be allowed to shoot directly." โ
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, "I never knew about this. โ
"I didn't tell you because you would definitely oppose me." "But you and I are responsible for more than a hundred lives in the safe zone, and there is no room for error." โ
The middle-aged man sat down silently, "That kid...... Lu Xun is a very kind person. โ
The old man was stunned.
"I can see from his eyes that that child is actually very lacking in love, probably losing his parents at a very young age, not having many friends, and lacking the care of others since he was a child." The middle-aged man said, "Do you know my old friend...... Children who lack love in their hearts are very inferior and lonely, they dare not approach others, dare not ask for warmth from others, they always have cowardice and fear in their eyes, they approach you cautiously and do not dare to get too close, for fear that you will drive them away...... At this time, you have to give them a hug, not a gun. โ
Sean looked up.
"I thought you'd be able to see it, old man." The middle-aged man sighed, "Because the children in the hummingbird group ...... Isn't it all like that? โ
