11. Chapter 11: Deception
The laboratory was on the eighth floor, and Liang Bing insisted on not taking the elevator.
"I don't like the weightlessness of the elevator running." She said.
"That's fine. Just climb the stairs to exercise, save a long time, and the movements are as stiff as zombies. Yi Chen smiled.
The two walked one after the other, and there was a distance. Liang Bing's long, seaweed-like thick hair exuded a hint of fragrance, and her slender back revealed an indescribable loneliness and tranquility.
Such a beautiful girl is actually an infected person like him?
Yi Chen thought in a trance, how could that small body withstand the great pain caused by the abnormal body of his body?
"How did you get infected?" He couldn't help but ask.
Liang Bing's movements froze, and he replied lightly: "I forgot." ”
How can such a thing be forgotten? She avoided talking about it, there must be something she didn't want to mention. Yi Chen found it boring, stopped talking, and the two of them climbed the stairs with their heads bored.
As soon as I reached the eighth floor, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the other end of the corridor!
Yi Chen rushed over, only to see a female laboratory technician with a discolored face, and the whole person was stuck to the wall.
A palm-sized, irregular piece of red flesh on the workbench snapped and bounced as if it were alive, very weird!
That's the creeper's musculature?
"Little Sun, don't make a fuss." Professor Tian looked displeased.
"But, but, ......" Xiao Sun was obviously frightened, and he couldn't say a word.
"You're still a doctor! The nervous system is a relatively low-level organism, and many functions are performed by nerves in the spinal cord or lateral line. These nerves are detached from the main body, not completely dead. Professor Tian said, put on his gloves, and boldly stepped forward to fiddle.
It turned out to be a false alarm...... Yi Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He just felt that there was a faint smell of zombies here, and it turned out that this piece of meat was causing trouble.
"What's going on?" Liang Bing walked to the door of the laboratory, and she hadn't seen the situation in the room yet. Yi Chen's tall body blocked her vision.
"Why are you here?" Ling Lan was surprised.
"I heard that Dr. Zhao is back and wanted to thank him in person." Yi Chen said.
“…… No thanks, I'm not here to save you, but for our research. A weak voice rang out from around the corner.
Dr. Zhao's answer was very honest. If Yi Chen had no research value for them, he would never risk his life to lure away the zombies.
Only then did Yi Chen see a man of medium stature in civilian clothes sitting there. His face was pale, and his eyes were so dark that it was as if he hadn't slept well since the end of the world came.
"How did you get the Creeper sample? Don't tell me you're going head-to-head with him. Ling Lan asked with a hint of joking. She and Professor Tian had just arrived, and they didn't know much more than Yi Chen.
"The zombies in the bank were quickly dumped by me, but the creeper was really hard to get rid of, so it followed closely behind the butt of the car and chased me around half the city." Dr. Zhao's voice trembled. If he had to choose again, he probably wouldn't have the courage to complete this impromptu task.
He'd tried to take the creeper down the narrow street in an attempt to slow it down, but it was there that it played to its advantage! It can climb around like a gecko!
"In the end, it tried to mash the roof of the car, but its claws got stuck, and that's when I collected the musculature that it had fallen from scratches...... There happened to be a car nearby, hey, I was lucky. ”
Dr. Zhao finished the whole process in a few words, but everyone made up for the tense and exciting scene and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Anyway, you gave us too many surprises this time! First, you have the greatest credit for rescuing the second infected; Secondly, you've got the creeper samples we've been trying to get for the past two days; Third, come back alive, that's the best news! Professor Tian said excitedly, he took off his gloves, took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes. Today is a big day!
"If you're not in a hurry to study, let's go eat something first." Ling Lan proposed.
It's evening now, and everyone has been busy tossing and turning for so long, and they are already hungry.
"I heard that the new fat man surnamed Zhu used to be a chef, so we might be able to have a good meal today." The female laboratory technician, Xiao Sun, had recovered from the shock and said with a smile.
People regard food as the sky, and when it comes to eating, there is a steady stream of motivation.
Yi Chen smacked his lips unnaturally, human food had nothing to do with him.
The zombie research team is leaving, and it is impossible for him and Liang Bing to stay in the laboratory, although he is very interested in the creeper's muscle, but he should have the opportunity to follow the research in the future.
People went to the side of the corridor to wait for the elevator, but Yi Chen and Liang Bing still took the stairs.
When he walked to the seventh floor, Yi Chen heard the sound of the elevator clanging to the eighth floor, and he could still hear the sound of those people talking.
"You guys go down first, I'll go to the bathroom." Dr. Zhao said.
"We're waiting for you down there?" Ling Lan asked.
"No, you guys go to the cafeteria first, I'm a big one." Dr. Zhao was a little embarrassed.
The crowd laughed, and the elevator doors closed.
"Ah, I forgot Yi Chen's case book in the lab." Ling Lan suddenly remembered something and casually pressed the sixth floor.
"You want to go down? It doesn't matter, there are no outsiders in the hospital anyway. Another male laboratory technician said.
"No, I've got to go put it away." Ling Lan said a little stubbornly, and at the end of the day, she didn't forget to blacken herself: "We Virgos have to be clear and organized in everything. ”
The crowd laughed again.
Ling Lan got off the elevator and didn't want to spend time waiting, anyway, there were only two floors, and she was ready to climb up.
At the top of the stairs, she ran into Yi Chen and Liang Bing.
"Let's go together." Liang Bing said suddenly.
"I'm just going back and getting a case book, so I don't have to move the crowd." Ling Lan politely refused.
"You'll know when the time comes." Liang Bing said a word without a beginning or an end, and followed by himself.
Yi Chen felt nervous for no reason. Although he can't predict, his sixth sense has always been keen, something will happen!
The three of them returned to the eighth floor, and before they could get close to the laboratory, they heard movement inside.
Ling Lan's legs and feet went weak for a while.
Everyone has withdrawn, how can there still be a voice? Could it be that the creeper's musculature is still moving?
Yi Chen condensed his breath and pushed open the hidden door, only to see Dr. Zhao painfully holding a needle filled with bright red liquid, about to stick it into his arm.
"Xiao Zhao?! What are you doing? Ling Lan pushed Yi Chen away, her chest rising and falling violently with fear and anger.
The workbench was turned into a mess, and the important research samples of the lost research team were laid out, and the blood samples marked with the name "Liang Bing" were empty!
"I'm going to live, you can't stop me from ......" Dr. Zhao muttered, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, and pricked it with a needle!
