499 You must confess
The source of mutual sensing between infected organisms is the mutated cells that live in the body. In this sense, the "Y2" agent is equivalent to an anesthetic. It only acts on mutant cells. It's like a living person will never be interested in a corpse. Strife, deception, and killing can only happen between the living.
One unit of "Y2-type" agent has a normal duration of action of 48 hours. It was based on this that Yin Liqian decided to use the long-cherished potion and infiltrate Liu Tianming's team as an ordinary person.
Hearing this, Liu Tianming interrupted her: "When did you find out about us?" β
"The time it took me to accept the search mission was not too short, because various accidents also delayed it for too long."
Yin Liqian did not answer directly. A helpless wry smile appeared on her face: "You used Yin Gang's signal transmitter to lead our search direction to the Xichang area. We got the wrong target from the beginning, thinking that there was only one infected body that killed Yin Jie and the others. The base intelligence department initially positioned the murderer's strength as the first order of the primitive, and later changed it to the third order of the primitive. β
After a pause, Yin Liqian laughed nervously: "Hahahaha...... Look at you, look at you now, all of them are powerful infectives. I've taken a "Y2-type" potion, and I can't sense your evolutionary level. But I'm well aware that you're not just any infected. Especially you, the team leader, should have a high level of evolution. If I'm not mistaken, you're at the level of a stabilizer...... Oh...... I forgot again, you killed Yin Zelong and gnawed all his bones. So, what is your true strength right now? Stabilizer Stage 5? Or has it become a full-fledged entity? β
She laughed maniacally. Perhaps knowing that she was certain to die, Yin Liqian's way of speaking and voice were a little unscrupulous.
Liu Tianming didn't care about this: "You haven't answered my question yet. β
With a heavy gasp, Yin Liqian who was laughing wildly gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath: "Half a month ago, I found out that this kind of investigation has no results. I split up the search team and sent the other two to the south and east to look for clues. It's also a coincidence that I went to Chengdu to search for directions, which happened to coincide with the direction you were heading. I've found some traces of the battle you've left behind. When the searchers in the other two directions returned in vain, based on the information obtained at this stage, I can roughly determine that there are many of you, and it is not as simple as one or two. β
"I'm beginning to understand why Yin Jie, they died. Because they are not opponents at all. They are all intensively trained fighters. However, this kind of training can only be effective against ordinary people, and of course, it can also deal with mutated creatures. In the world of the infected, everything is based on rank and strength. They are slain, and you devour flesh and blood, and plunder the dead to nourish yourselves. In this way, you can only become stronger and stronger, and you are no longer the same as before. β
Liu Tianming bowed slightly.
These words are not much different from his own speculation.
"Why is the new Beijing base chasing us? Take revenge just because your people are dead? Although this question was a bit redundant, Liu Tianming couldn't help but want to get confirmation from Yin Liqian.
She nodded: "Yin Song is dead, Yin Jie and Yin Gang and others are also dead." If it were just an ordinary soldier, the base would certainly not make a big move. But they are not ordinary people, but specially trained infected warriors. You are an infected person yourself, and you should understand the preciousness of an infected body. I don't know what your initial conflict was. Actually, it's not hard to guess. I guess either they want to prey on you, or you have developed a desire for food for them. In short, the man was dead, and the corpse was eaten to the ground. Now, it's too late to say anything. Adversarial relations already exist, and they are the kind that can never be reconciled. β
Liu Tianming fell silent.
His face was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest mood swing.
After a long time, he said lightly: "It seems that we have indeed caused a big trouble. β
"That's true."
Yin Liqian continued her unfinished words: "It can be seen from the strength of the personnel who have chased and killed you several times before and after, and the base's evaluation of your combat effectiveness is also constantly improving. What started out as a three-person squad-sized search level has now become a specialized combat staffing configuration like Sergeant Yin Zelong. He is completely different from us, Yin Zelong is a true warrior, and his evolution level is much higher than ours. Now that even he is dead, the base side will retaliate no matter what. β
Liu Tianming's sigh was just a feeling. In fact, he never took Yin Liqian's verbal threats to heart. He gathered his thoughts and looked at Yin Liqian: "Let's talk about the new Beijing base!" What do you know about that place? β
"New Beijing?"
Yin Liqian shook her head: "I'm afraid you won't believe it." I also have very little information about that place. I never left there, and the location of the base seems to be south of the capital. After the outbreak of the virus, a large number of civilians poured into the base, and the defense force was also forced to increase. The base is divided into two parts: above-ground and underground. The underground is the core, and more than half of the ground part is a civilian residential area. I haven't been to that place, but I've heard about it. β
Zheng Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes beside her and asked in disbelief, "Civilians? You mean, there are still civilians at the new Beijing base? β
"Of course there are, and a lot."
Yin Liqian shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: "In New Beijing, everyone has a fixed activity area. Don't look at me, although I am an officer of the search force, but my range of activities is underground, and I am still in the training ground and in the military area. I also couldn't enter the civilian area without a special order. As far as I know, the number of civilians at the new Beijing base will not be less than 400,000, and may even exceed 450,000. β
Cao Xinneng couldn't help but exclaim: "So many? It's like a small city. β
Liu Fengping is more concerned about other things. She was a little worried: "With so many people gathered together, it will cause a lot of problems. For example, a concentrated outbreak of the virus in a certain area, or a shortage of food supplies. β
Liu Tianming ignored the miscellaneous discussions of his teammates around him, and asked directly: "You just talked about the underground training ground and military area. Can you tell us about the situation there? β
"Training ground?"
A hint of gloom appeared on Yin Liqian's face. After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head: "Are you sure, do you really want to know?" β
Liu Tianming nodded and replied seriously: "I'm sure." β
Even for Yin Liqian, the underground training ground is still a nightmare that she doesn't want to talk about.
She was selected from the status of an ordinary soldier and entered the training ground. At that time, everyone saw entering the training ground as an honor, as well as a show of ability and identity. It is said that all those who are eligible to enter the training ground go to the special forces. It is a place that all fighters yearn for.
Note that it is "special forces", not "special forces". Yin Liqian herself didn't figure out the difference until a long time later.
Life in the training ground was bloody, full of carnage.
The rules there are simpleββββ you have to kill someone every three days. Otherwise, you will surely die. Even if someone doesn't do anything to you, the guards will shoot at you.
It was a crazy and terrible memory. If it weren't for Liu Tianming mentioning it, Yin Liqian wouldn't want to take the initiative to think about it at all.
She was obviously extremely reluctant to say more on the subject, but she only said something succinctly and casually, and then closed her mouth tightly and said no more.
"Don't push me. Even if I fall into your hands, there are some things I still don't want to say. You have to understand, it's not that I can't say it, it's that I don't want to remember the past. It was a terrible experience. If you enter that place, needless to say you understand. Verbal descriptions can never compare to one's own experience. In short, the basic rules of the training ground are like this. As long as you stay in there long enough and kill enough people, you can leave, and then get the injection and become an officer like me. β
Yin Liqian said this very resolutely. From her cold and fierce tone, it shows that she would rather die than remember the toughness.
Liu Tianming did not pursue this issue. In fact, he did not have much interest in the new Beijing, and simply wanted to know the basic situation of his opponent. He was very smart, Yin Liqian's words made Liu Tianming have a trace of doubtββββ not for her, but for the place where a steady stream of soldiers were sent to chase and kill themselves along the way.
And another very important question: "Why did you hide your identity and join us?" If you know we're all infected, why wait on the road in advance? Not only that, but you also provided us with two fresh foods. β
Not only Liu Tianming, but other team members also had difficulty understanding Yin Liqian's behavior.
Everyone clearly remembered that when they found the two newborn soldiers on the off-road vehicle, they were both in a coma. The team members shared them, and Yin Liqian was next to them, witnessing the bloody process with their own eyes.
Yin Liqian was silent again.
By the time she spoke again, her voice had become a little hoarse, sounding like the roar of a beast with a wounded throat.
"You'll never understand how hard it is for a woman to survive on the training ground."
"It's impossible for anyone to gain power all of a sudden. Going from weak to strong is a process that all people must go through. In that place, I gave too much. From physical to mental, from humiliation and fear to confronting it calmly, I almost lost a chance to survive. β
Yin Liqian raised her head and stared at Zheng Xiaoyue with a provocative gaze: "Have you ever been ravaged by dozens of men in turn?" β
