The hazy light began to appear in the sky, with a few clouds like cotton wool, reflecting a little warmth, like the electric heater that is about to start heating, announcing that the new day will be a hot day again, of course, the temperature in the early morning is still very pleasant, and there is even a sense of coldness, moist and cool air, infiltrating the skin, and entering the body along the breath, especially these air also contain the fragrance of grass, which is more refreshing.

Han Li hadn't slept so well for a long time, it seemed that after escaping from Harbin, she had always been swallowed up by nightmarish memories, and it could even be said that under the long-term lack of sleep and nightmares, in the end, she couldn't tell whether she was awake or in a nightmare, so when she opened her eyes with a satisfied moan, she found herself lying on a soft and verdant green grass, and a few small flowers were slowly blooming beside her, instead of feeling relaxed and soothed, she became nervous for a moment, I thought I was still in a nightmare, and in the next second, a zombie would inexplicably pounce on me, ignoring my own pleading and shouting, tearing my body, pulling out my chest and abdomen, pulling out my bloody flesh and internal organs, and swallowing it when I was still conscious and screaming.

After being nervous for a while, the flipping plot that often occurs in nightmares did not appear, Han Li couldn't help but quietly pinched herself twice, hey, it hurts, she confirmed that she was not dreaming.

yes, then I should be in a nursing home, where is this? What exactly happens before going to bed? Han Li tried hard to recall, but her recent memories were really chaotic, and she couldn't remember what had happened when she tried to recall.

"Huh? You're awake. A slightly hoarse voice came to Han Li with the sound of footsteps.

Han Li looked up and saw that it was Wang Chen, it was obvious that this companion had not rested all night, the dark circles under his eyes and his blood-red eyes, as well as the unpleasant smell of sweat emitted from his body, all showed that he had a rather bad night.

"Ah, what's going on? Where are we? Hiss...... How did my head break...... Sanatorium ......" Han Li said, got up and looked around, halfway through the words, she had already covered her mouth in surprise, the hillside as far as her eyes could see, the place that was originally the sanatorium could no longer see any trace of buildings, and it could even be said that the entire hillside was missing a large piece, and the curling green smoke came down the wind with a faint smell of burning, which was the last evidence that the sanatorium had existed.

"You saw it, the sanatorium is gone, last night after you fell asleep, a flock of crazy birds attacked the sanatorium, yes, it was a sparrow pigeon or something like that, we fought hard to take you out, I don't know why, there was a violent explosion in the sanatorium, and the aftermath of the explosion overturned our vehicle......"

Wang Chen originally wanted to talk about it briefly, but he couldn't hold back the chatterbox, and the excitement of last night was definitely not small for him, especially the huge contrast of just escaping and then falling into hell almost made this young man who was only twenty years old go crazy on the spot, and when he talked about the off-road vehicle leaving the nursing home, the tragic scene began to appear in front of him again......

At the moment of the explosion, Hu Chun realized that the situation was not good, and immediately adjusted the direction of the vehicle and slowed down, wanting to use the rear of the car to aim at the direction of the shock wave to reduce the damage, but unfortunately, he thought very well, but it was too late, he just said two words, "Steady!" "The off-road vehicle has been shaken down the mountain road and is rushing diagonally down the hill!

Hu Chun directly pulled the handbrake and stepped on the brake at the same time, but the huge momentum of the off-road vehicle only slowed down slightly, and still slid down the mountain, he could only rely on the scene in the headlights and his own reaction, try to manipulate the off-road vehicle to dodge left and right, try to avoid all kinds of oncoming trees and shrubs, and try to stop the off-road vehicle completely.

The good luck ran out, and the off-road vehicle hit a reclining old pine head-on, and the violent impact almost lifted Wang Chen and Li Changhuai to the front row, especially Wang Chen, whose two hands subconsciously cushioned the backrest of the co-pilot, and as a result, his head was directly pushed to the back of his hand, not only did his hand hurt, but his head almost knocked out.

When Wang Chen woke up from the vertigo, it was already pitch black all around, and even the headlights of the off-road vehicle had lost their brightness, he fumbled to unfasten the seat belt, just wanted to get up, but felt a stinging pain in the waist and abdomen, and touched it gently, he should have been strangled by the seat belt when he was impacted, rubbed the skin and flesh, and felt that the bone was not a big problem, Wang Chen carefully adjusted his posture, and turned on the rear lights of the off-road vehicle by the light of the fire burning in the nursing home in the distance.

It's Li Changhuai.

Li Changhuai, who has been zombied.

Because Li Changhuai tied his mouth before the zombie, at this moment he could only tear Wang Chen's clothes with his hands in vain, but he couldn't open his mouth to gnaw Wang Chen's flesh and blood, but fortunately, Wang Chen, whose strength was not as big as Li Changhuai, had the opportunity to draw out his saber and slash it on Li Changhuai's temple, sending this old friend on his last journey.

Relieved, Wang Chen noticed that another factor that prevented Li Changhuai from completely knocking himself down was that a long branch penetrated the body and poked right on Li Changhuai's stomach.

Looking at the momentum of the long branches, Wang Chen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly kicked open the door on his side, went around to the driver's side, and went to check on Hu Chun's situation.

Hu Chun is no longer good.

The branch pinned Hu Chun to the driver's seat, passed through his stomach and came out of his back, and a large amount of blood foam poured out of Hu Chun's mouth, not even giving him a chance to say his last words. This bodybuilding coach in his thirties escaped from the zombie hell in Harbin with his daughter and a group of companions along the way, but in the end, he died in a car accident.

Wang Chen took advantage of the afterglow of the headlights, half-kneeling beside Hu Chun, Hu Chun grabbed Wang Chen's clothes with his hands, his eyes were full of pleading and reluctance, Wang Chen of course understood what his companion meant, tears blurred his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I swear, Brother Hu, I will take care of my sister-in-law and Qianqian, don't worry." ”

Hu Chun reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, and after leaving Wang Chen with a relieved smile, he lowered his head.

Sure that Hu Chun had no pulse, he wiped his tears casually, Wang Chen knew that he still had something to do, so he took out his saber, aimed it at the back of Hu Chun's head, and inserted it.

“…… If you want to say that the luckiest thing is, it is naturally you, when I dragged you out of the car, your head was just scratched a little skin, and there was nothing else, because it was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly, I didn't dare to carry you down the mountain rashly, so I found such a piece of grass with a good view nearby and waited for dawn, I really didn't have the strength to bury Brother Hu and Changhuai......" Wang Chen said this, his voice became deeper and lower, he was indeed too tired.

Han Li didn't say anything, she knew that in a sense, Hu Chun and Li Changhuai also died because of her, without her drag, maybe these three would have escaped from the sanatorium earlier, and there would definitely be no next deaths and injuries. Moreover, the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, did not have the idea of leaving her even in the most critical moment, otherwise, she was in a state of sleep, either being eaten alive by zombies or being swallowed up by the explosion.

When you meet such a man, as a woman, what else is there to think about?

Go to special love and give yourself to him.

After thinking about it, Han Li had nothing to hesitate, Almond's eyes, which were originally a little confused, became very calm, she slowly walked to Wang Chen's side and sat down, generously stretched out her hand, hugged Wang Chen's head to her chest, stroked Wang Chen's shoulder, and was silent.

Wang Chen's body was somewhat stiff because of Han Li's sudden intimate contact, but under Han Li's soft chest and gentle caresse, he slowly relaxed, and suddenly he hugged Han Li tightly, and sadness came from it.

Wang Chen didn't know what this intense grief was for, maybe it was for the zombie mother, maybe it was for the father who sacrificed his life to save himself and lead away the zombies, maybe it was for Li Changhuai, who strangled his mouth until he died, or for Hu Chun, who broke in a car accident but died in a car accident and couldn't let go of his wife and children when he was dying.

At this time, the morning dawn is dawning, and everything is rejoicing and flourishing because of the new day, but there is a man with a woman in his arms, crying in the forest meadow full of life.

Perhaps, he was just crying for this fuckingly inhuman world.

After the grief, Wang Chen gradually fell asleep, Han Li did not move, just put Wang Chen's head on his lap, humming a song softly like a child, the sun was rising, the morning dew gradually dispersed, the birds and insects began to flourish, and the nightmare of the night seemed to pass after all, as for what the two of them should do next, Wang Chen did not say, and Han Li did not ask.

It's a pity that the warm moment was short after all, a low moan broke the silence in the forest, Han Li gently moved Wang Chen's head from his lap to the grass, got up and looked around alertly, a figure swayed over, and saw the zombie with a burnt body and a vaguely recognizable face, Han Li was a little confused, this zombie looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

If Wang Chen is still awake, he will definitely tell Han Li that this is the guy you met when you were delirious, Xu Dongsheng.

Obviously, the armored vehicle was too close to the center of the explosion, which could save Xu Dongsheng's body from fragmentation, but it could not save Xu Dongsheng's life.

At this moment, Han Li didn't care about a familiar face that had turned into a zombie, she cared more about the number of zombies, but fortunately, when she looked around, there was only one zombie, Xu Dongsheng.

Looking at Wang Chen, who was still asleep, Han Li gritted her teeth, took out the saber on Wang Chen's leg, and faced Xu Dongsheng.

This time, I'll be the one to protect you.

Wang Chen didn't sleep for a long time, at most an hour, the morning sun had not yet risen to the treetops, he woke up in Han Li's arms, perhaps, if he had been asleep in this environment, it would be a strange thing, right?

"Awake?"

"Yes."

Crying and sleeping invisibly narrowed the distance between the two, and found a little comfort for the two equally scarred hearts, Wang Chen turned over and sat up, moved his body briefly, and found that his limbs were a little sore, not to mention, there were bursts of gurgling sounds in his stomach one after another, so that he couldn't help but be a little red-faced, from last night to now, the water and rice have not been touched, and the iron man can't bear it.

Han Li smiled, "You slept too hard, I didn't dare to leave you here alone, so I didn't look for something to eat, just insist on it." ”

"It's okay, I feel better, I'm hungry and lose weight." Wang Chen lifted his spirits, only to notice the corpse lying not far away, and said in surprise: "You solved it?" ”

"What, don't believe me?" After several changes, Han Li has become much tougher, and at this time, she can still ask in a relaxed tone.

"Oh, of course not, of course not."

"I can't always drag you down...... hind legs. Swallowing the word 'we' a little stiffly, Han Li pulled out the saber with her backhand and played with it in her hand, "Don't think that if I'm a woman, I won't know anything." ”

Seeing Han Li flipping the shining saber a little awkwardly, Wang Chen nodded with a smile, walked to the corpse, saw Xu Dongsheng's dead eyes, shook his head with some sighs, and reached out to grope on Xu Dongsheng's body.

At Wang Chen's age, he doesn't know enough about human nature, but he still wants to gamble that Xu Dongsheng, who is selfish to a certain extent, will hide the life-saving things close to him.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

The guy had a fanny pack with cash, three tubes of 100 milliliters of medical saline, and military chocolate, and it was hard for him to get his hands on them in a nursing home.

Salt water and chocolate certainly don't taste good, but it is the best stamina supplement for the hungry duo.

As soon as they finished sharing Xu Dongsheng's 'legacy', the two heard the sound of the engine, Wang Chen didn't think much about it at all, and dragged Han Li into the grass, Han Li was surprised, but there was no extra action, and the two of them hid until the drone was completely out of sight, and then came out of the grass.

Wang Chen picked the blades of grass on his body and explained to Han Li in a low voice: "Before, we used a satellite phone to ask for help, but the rescue center asked us to wait in the sanatorium, if it wasn't for Brother Hu and me to find out that something was wrong, and quickly flee for our lives, we would definitely be bombed into the sky, and before we are sure of our attitude towards survivors like us, it is best to find a way to hide our identity." ”

A look of surprise flashed across Han Li's face, and then she nodded solemnly, indicating that she understood.

After several lives and deaths, and just finished off a zombie with his own hands, Han Li's psychological endurance has unconsciously increased a lot.

After escaping from the sanatorium, whether it was the corpse of a companion left in the off-road vehicle or the zombie lying in the forest, there were not many traces left by the two, and it was only a matter of time before the PLA who cleaned up the scene found and confirmed that someone survived.

There are two reasons for this, one is that Hu Chun's wife and children should still be in the town, and it is reasonable for him to go and see him. The second is that Wang Chen felt that it was obviously unsafe to wander in the wilderness at such a time, and blending into the 'big army' would naturally increase his chances of survival, because he couldn't be sure whether the mad bird attack was an isolated incident or a common phenomenon.

Even if the military has not yet handed over all kinds of biological samples collected around the sanatorium, just analyzing the satellite video transmitted from the scene and a large number of real-time surveillance images from the beginning of the madbird attack to the bombing, these two have already reasoned about the cause of the possible outbreak of the mad bird.

The results are not too bad.

This mad bird attack is unlikely to cause the spread of pathogens due to incomplete disposal of garbage and excrement from sanatoriums, because birds do not belong to mammals after all, according to common sense, even if the pathogen mutates again, its spread law should be primates-mammals-homeotherms, after all, no matter how terrible the pathogen is, it cannot escape the shackles of biological laws.

Again, this attack cannot be considered an independent event, it is possible that it was man-made! Because zombie humans will only exhibit Brownian motion when there are no external factors to attract, even if these birds become zombie birds, they will concentrate on attacking the sanatorium! It's too far-fetched to explain it just by using sound attraction!

After making a report to the head of the Central Committee and the heads of various military regions, Chen Hanxin wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down in his seat with small eyes, and said with a forced smile: "How do I feel that the two of us are similar to the Mourning Star, and there has been no good news in our mouths?" ”

"Huh? That's you, not me. Tu Hongye shook his head a little nervously, glanced at the wall clock, took out two bottles of medicine from his pocket, poured out two pills and put them in his mouth, picked up the beaker beside him casually, smelled it and made sure it was distilled water, and swallowed it directly.

Chen Hanxin looked at the appearance of his senior brother swallowing medicine, and pretended to turn a blind eye, but the worried expression still remained on his face, Tu Hongye saw it in his eyes, and explained with a nonchalant face: "Peace of mind, as long as I take the medicine on time and in the right amount, my illness will not attack, and my IQ will not be affected." ”

"Next ......"

"The institute is on vacation for three days."

"Huh? Three days off at this time? ”

"Ahhh Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, don't you understand this truth? Moreover, we are the most professional research institution, but it is not that there are no other institutions in China that are also researching vaccines, don't take yourself too seriously, your subordinates are really tired of a few, not to mention that you are distressed, it is really time to be busy, but there is a shortage of manpower, hurry up, announce the news! ”

For a few seconds, Chen Hanxin really thought that Tu Hongye was really joking, and after a few seconds, he found that his senior brother was talking about the holiday quite seriously, and the reason was high-sounding, he got up and walked to the door, just arrived in the corridor, turned around and walked back, took out the phone and hung up Xiao Wu, and after telling the holiday, Chen Hanxin stepped in front of Tu Hongye, with a serious face, "Senior brother, you must have an idea, right?" It's one thing to take a vacation to rest your subordinates, and on the other hand, you don't want too many people to know what you're going to do for three days, right? ”

"That's right, it seems that you're not the director in vain, it's not that you only know how to deduct data and soak the academic wood in the laboratory for many years, I can't help it, I'm about to cooperate with the military to develop a vaccine, why don't we have something to do?"

“…… Brother, what do you want to do? ”

"Simple, make zombie pathogens."

"......" If it weren't for Chen Hanxin's knowledge that Tu Hongye just likes to speak amazingly, and those nine words just now came into his ears, he should have sent this scientific madman or mad scientist back to the mental hospital as soon as possible.

After Tu Hongye said this, he looked at Chen Hanxin with interest, he wanted to see if Chen Hanxin showed a shocked expression, but the two of them stared at each other for a while, and even the air in the office was about to freeze, and the expressions of both sides did not change in the slightest.

"It's boring...... You became the director of the official but you didn't have the slightest authority, except that you would complain, and your courage became smaller and smaller, I thought you would argue with me with a red face. Tu Hongye lowered his eyes, fiddled with the beaker in his hand, and muttered.

Chen Hanxin really couldn't laugh or cry at Tu Hongye's childish temperament from time to time, if it weren't for the fact that his senior brother was still the same as usual most of the time, he would have thought that this guy who was picked up from the mental hospital would be an impostor, "What do I want to do with official authority?" The institute is an academic institution, and when it comes to complaints, we can't help it, it's hundreds of people! Not to mention that human life is greater than heaven, hundreds of living samples, not even a hair left, no comparison of samples after mutation, and no physiological evolution data of pathogen carriers, all relying on the data collected in the early stage, even if the vaccine is made, can it be effective? Who isn't in a hurry about this? Don't mention this, in fact, Senior Brother really scared me just now, but I then thought of Senior Brother's train of thought, so I didn't get excited......"

"Oh? What did you think of? Tell me about it? ”

"Pursuing the origin, it is nothing more than two ways: reverse and review, since we have encountered the problem of too few sample varieties with the reverse method, do we change to the review method, the senior brother is familiar with the dead couple, and naturally plans to start from their ideas and make zombie pathogens from scratch, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"No leader dares to agree to this kind of thing, and the people below know it, and I'm afraid they will have to report it to the next level, so the senior brother simply gave the people in the institute a three-day vacation to put an end to all gossip, right? However, it is impossible to create an entity in three days, right? ”

"Three days to make a physical object? We are not immortals, I am actually talking about the retrovirus used to make genetically modified drugs before the emergence of zombie pathogens, and it is not a physical product, through the existing data and the experimental steps in my memory, through the computer simulation of the molecular structure model, as long as a part of the successful simulation can be confirmed, the virtual retrovirus can operate, and then through this model to simulate the evolution of the virus......"

"In this way, with a reference, the process of making a vaccine will be much simplified, and even the subsequent evolution of the virus will also have a reference!"

"Yes, yes, you get my idea perfectly."

"I'm afraid the computer requirements are not low, right? What are the requirements? I'll arrange for someone to get it right away. ”

"It's not an exaggeration, but you know, after four years in the hospital, I'm somewhat unfamiliar with today's cloud computing and server clusters......"

The two were talking, Chen Hanxin's mobile phone rang, picked up the phone, it was the director of MSS who called personally, obviously, this time MSS did what he said, and the efficiency was quite high, less than twelve hours before and after, he had figured out many doubts about the car accident, such as the scene of the car accident except for the Honda sedan driven by the couple, no other vehicles were found, and the violent burning of the Honda sedan after falling off the cliff did not conform to common sense - it was not a movie, the probability of car explosion in life was quite small, and the bodies of the couple were unrecognizable due to charringThe re-conducted DNA comparison showed that the two buried bodies came from the medical school's anatomy laboratory, and they were definitely not husband and wife.

Therefore, the theft of autopsy laboratory corpses that occurred at the same time has been merged with the disappearance case through other channels and restarted the investigation, and it is listed as the primary case in the terrorist attack case, this investigation process is not something that MSS can interfere with, however, according to the laws of the United States, if there is progress in the theft case and the disappearance case, even if there is no evidence, but there is a suspected target, the United States will go all out and never die!

You know, according to the proportion of the population, the first outbreak of zombie pathogens to the present, the United States casualties are the highest, pathogen outbreak points are almost all over the most prosperous states in the United States, if it were not for the second constitutional amendment of the United States has greatly improved the self-defense ability of the American people, plus the president of the United States is calm enough not to launch a nuclear counterattack at will, I am afraid that before the pathogen spreads all over the world, the nuclear war has already started.

Of course, this news will be revealed through the major media in the United States later, boosting the confidence of the people, as for the sources, MSS, CIA, FBI, NSA, the caliber is absolutely unified: no comment.

In any case, as the news broadcast said: "Basically confirming the identity of the pathogen maker is a major progress in the fight against the zombie epidemic, and according to the map, the dawn of victory is ahead." ”
