Liu Tianming slowly frowned.

He remembered that night, in the basement, Qian Guangsheng rushed towards Song Jiahao.

In order to protect Song Jiahao, he showed in front of him the strength and speed that only mutant infected people have.

"Doctor Liu, don't prevaricate me with any excuses like human potential."

Song Jiahao's angry voice echoed in the office: "That kind of power and speed, you can send and receive freely." The steel pipe only crushed Qian Guangsheng's teeth, but did not pierce his skull, which is enough to explain the problem. Dr. Lau, I've been studying Dr. Chan for a long time in the basement. I've seen her eat meat, and I know that she uses the cleanest and most effective way to kill a chicken, or a dog. That's not what humans should be capable of at all. Or rather, it doesn't exist in Dr. Chen's mental memory. That's the most ferocious and straightforward hunting technique. It was the ability that the virus gave her that transformed Dr. Chan from a human into a beast only interested in food. ”

"So, the question is———— Dr. Liu, why do you also have the same attack skills? You dealt with Qian Guangsheng's actions neatly and neatly, without dragging the mud and water. Aha! I almost forgot, you participated in military training! That's probably the best reason you can get started, right? No wonder you asked me to add martial arts to my training list. At that time, you probably made up the story specifically to dispel my suspicions, right? ”

Looking at Song Jiahao, Liu Tianming calmly asked, "If I say this, will you believe it?" ”

"Of course I don't believe it!"

Song Jiahao's face changed suddenly, and he roared angrily: "Why are you deceiving me? I've always been honest with you, but you've always refused to tell me the truth. Viruses, Infections, Mutations...... I'm a idiot, and I've been kept in the dark by you from the beginning. You've been using me and getting help from me all the time. But I don't know anything, and I've always regarded you as my own person who can be trusted. It wasn't until that night, when I saw your movements and strength, that it dawned on me. You, you...... You, Dr. Chen, and Qian Guangsheng are all in the same group! You're just like them! ”

Liu Tianming fell silent.

It must be admitted that what Song Jiahao said is the truth.

There were some things I hadn't told him.

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

"There's one thing, you're wrong."

After a moment of silence, Liu Tianming raised his head and said seriously: "I have never deceived you. Never! ”

Song Jiahao's face was gloomy: "Why don't you tell everything?" Why? ”

Liu Tianming's answer was impeccable and logical: "I have my own secrets that I must guard." I'm sure you are too. Also, you never asked me about the things you just said. ”

Song Jiahao opened his mouth. He wanted to refute Liu Tianming's words, but found that he really couldn't find a reason to accuse the other party.

Oh, yes! Since I haven't asked, where is the explanation?

Thinking of this, Song Jiahao's face turned pale instantly, and he shouted with some confidence: "Then can you tell me now, you ...... Have you ever been infected by that virus? ”

Liu Tianming hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Song Jiahao seemed to have found the lucky one who had found the treasure, and his face suddenly became very exciting.

He hurriedly stood up, pulled a chair from the side, leaned in front of the sofa, and sat face to face with Liu Tianming, his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see Liu Tianming from top to bottom, every detail clearly.

"Tell me, why are you completely different from Dr. Chen and Qian Guangsheng now?"

Liu Tianming shook his head slowly and said frankly: "I don't know. According to my speculation, it should be the difference caused by the different selection of cells by the virus during the infection process. Among them, there may also be genetic problems. Also, I had a lot of antibiotics in the early stages of my infection. ”

Song Jiahao frowned, he remembered the scene in the basement before, Liu Tianming injected Chen Po with antibiotics: "Very much? How many are there, exactly? ”

"I don't know."

Liu Tianming tried to recall: "During that time, I was also afraid of the changes in my body. Almost all the money goes to buy medicines. The total value of injections and oral classes combined exceeds tens of thousands of yuan. Later, when I ran out of money, Dr. Chan lent me some. I didn't stop taking my medication until I felt that my condition was gradually stabilizing. ”

"As much as tens of thousands of antibiotic ......"

Song Jiahao quickly calculated in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask, "How long have you been taking all these medicines?" ”

"Two weeks, no more than three weeks." Liu Tianming remembers this very clearly.

Song Jiahao was dumbfounded: "You, are you joking?" This is antibiotic, not mineral water. So many, you've used them all up, and there's nothing left? ”

"Yes."

A faint sadness appeared on Liu Tianming's face: "At that time, I couldn't take care of it so much. I felt like I was going to die, and I didn't want to be a monster. I didn't dare to see a doctor, I didn't dare to show up in a crowded place. You can't imagine how I survived. Actually, you just have to think about it backwards to understand. If you're a monster, a monster who doesn't know what tomorrow will become, will you tell a second person about these things? ”

Song Jiahao's face gradually became solemn. He said slowly, "Dr. Chan is willing to lend you money...... Did you tell her all these things? ”

"Dr. Chan was infected by the same route as me, and I only found out later."

Liu Tianming said slowly: "Dr. Chen is different from you. I'm the same kind as her. Do you understand? Similar! ”

There is something special about the word "like-minded". Song Jiahao slowly smacked the meaning.

He didn't speak, frowning, lost in thought.

"I don't have parents or friends I can trust. I can't tell anyone about these things, and I can't get help from anyone else. Dr. Chan is the only one...... At that time, she was even more infected than I was. She eats a lot of raw meat, I help her with injections, and she lends me a sum of money. It's as simple as that. To outsiders, this may seem like a deal. But you don't understand, and you never will understand, that it's a kind of mutual love between your kind. It is the elders and the young, but also the companions. ”

Liu Tianming said quietly, but two tears flowed irrepressibly from the corners of his eyes.

Song Jiahao looked at him intently. After a long time, Song Jiahao sighed: "I somewhat understand." So, you've repeatedly asked to get rid of Dr. Chan, and you don't want her to continue to be the way she is. ”

Liu Tianming snorted, raised his head, and tried to control his emotions, with an obvious sadness in his voice: "She has changed. By the time it comes out of the ventilation pipe, it's already changed. Dr. Chan is actually dead, but remains in his current state because of the control of the mutated cells over the host. You know very well that she is no longer human, but a walking corpse. The virus took control of her brain, and there was nothing else in her thought patterns other than the concept of food. ”

Song Jiahao's reaction was quick: "You mean, Qian Guangsheng's situation is the same as that of Dr. Chen. Now, they're the same kind? ”

Although unwilling to admit it, Liu Tianming must face reality. He nodded silently and said no more.

Song Jiahao stared at him for a long time, and his eyes never took his eyes off Liu Tianming: "There is another problem, and it is also the most critical one. Why did Qian Guangsheng become a walking corpse after being bitten by Dr. Chen? And you...... If, I mean, if you were the one who bit Qian Guangsheng at that time, would he have become what he is now? I'm talking about the walking dead. ”

Liu Tianming was very stunned, he suddenly turned back to his normal sitting position, and looked at Song Jiahao in great surprise.

It was so sudden.

Liu Tianming didn't think about this question himself.

He has always considered himself an ordinary person.

Although he was infected by the virus, Liu Tianming's living habits are no different from before. It's just that I liked to eat sugar in the days when I was infected by the blood of a black patient. This was alleviated by the massive antibiotic injections. By now, antibiotics have long since been discontinued. For things like sugar, it has also returned to the normal concept of the past.

Oh, yes! If it were me who had bitten an ordinary person, what would have become of him?

I'm a carrier and I'm already infected.

So, could I be a new source of infection?

Liu Tianming's face became more and more pale, and his expression was more serious than ever.

He thought for a long time and said very deliberately, "I don't know. I haven't done anything like that. Although I was also infected by the virus, my condition was different from that of Dr. Chan. Dr. Chan has been eating raw meat since the day I learned she was infected. After I gave her antibiotics, things got better. At least in front of me, she showed no signs of carnification. ”

Song Jiahao bent over, crossed his fingers with his hands, and supported his chin. He carefully pondered every word Liu Tianming had said, and said to himself: "According to what you said, meat, fresh meat, should be the key to the parasitic control of the virus on the infected." ”

Liu Tianming added: "Dr. Chen didn't like meat from the beginning, but he liked sugar. Me too. When I first got infected, I was very fond of sugar. ”

Song Jiahao was interested in this sentence: "How much do you like it?" ”

Liu Tianming used a more cautious and objective logical statement: "Just like ordinary people's three meals a day, it is essential." ”

"It's a model of energy uptake and transformation."

Song Jiahao's reaction was quick. "From sugars to meat, from energy to protein, it means that the virus has passed the initial adaptation period in the infected person," he said with great seriousness. Sugars can be converted into energy, but meat provides both energy and protein. That is, this virus is the same as humans in terms of biological characteristics. As long as we like them, they are equally acceptable. ”
