Chapter 34: Escape
Lao Huang didn't know how long he had been in a coma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When he woke up again, Huang Zhenmu only felt that his head was still a little groggy, and it took a long time for him to get up from the cold and biting floor.
Moaning in pain for a while, Lao Huang felt that his hands and feet became a little more flexible, he didn't expect that he could use this method to escape the control of the virus, it was amazing, he touched the big bag on his forehead, it hurt when he touched it lightly, it was very heavy, but it was better than anything to get through the runaway period.
"Are you alright?" Li Kesi's urn sounded and the sound of the urn came out, he regained consciousness earlier than Huang Zhenmu, and now he feels much better.
"Well," Lao Huang laughed, "I feel like I can tear zombies by hand." He observed that the eyes in Lix's eyes were no longer as wary as they had been before.
Li Kesi said: "Thank you. β
"You're welcome."
"How long have I been in a coma?"
"About ten minutes."
"So short?" Lao Huang was surprised: "I'm still afraid that I have slept for a day and a night." β
"Not that long," Lixes held up the watch on his left wrist and shook it, "I've watched the time carefully." The serum worked faster than I thought and, as the first clinical experimenter, I managed to survive. β
"Great."
"What happened to you before?"
"What's wrong?"
"Don't play stupid, you've been holding your head and howling for a long time." Li Kesi is serious.
"Can I choose not to answer?"
"You have to answer." Li Kesi did not relent: "If there is such an unstable factor between us, even if you have just done me a great favor, I will still take necessary measures for my own safety." β
"Hey......" Lao Huang sighed, and briefly said that he had taken a small sip of Motriland's poisonous mist, and after he finished speaking, he continued to emphasize that he only took a small puff and held his breath.
After speaking, Li Kesi's small eyes widened.
Director Li didn't make any sound in the headphones, this news was really shocking.
What does this mean? Not only did the virus serum succeed, but now there was a large living person in front of him who could be said to be immune to the Motrilan virus.
You must know that none of the survivors who have been infected with the S virus before, none of them can be immune, and this person can actually resist the erosion of the virus.
The key to solving this catastrophe appeared in front of his eyes, and the people on the other side of Laboratory 4 cheered excitedly.
"That's great, the serum works, okay, you go and make a copy of the information you want to sort out, let's go."
"No more." Li Kesi shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
Li Kesi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and stretched out his zombie-bitten arm from behind his back to show Lao Huang, it turned out that this arm didn't look like what humans should have.
From the wound part like blowing up a balloon, gradually the eyes to the upper arm part, the shoulder part can also see that it is a human, down to the entire sleeve has been completely broken, it looks like an exaggerated arm shape like Popeye, but there is no sense of fun of cartoon characters, the muscles on it are knotted, the blood-red veins burst, as thick as a thigh, the palm of the hand is swollen like a fan, each finger is as thick as a thick ham sold in a supermarket, There was no intact human skin on the entire arm, it was all bloody, and a thick meridian of a cyan finger burst out, which looked like a green snake was wrapped around the arm, which was indescribably weird.
"How can this be," Lao Huang was stunned: "Isn't the serum working?" How can your hands be like this? β
Li Kesi's brows squeezed into a figure-of-eight: "The serum is working, I haven't turned into a zombie, and I still retain my consciousness, but this arm of mine doesn't seem to be saved." And, I can feel it, it's still creeping in, and it won't be long before it spreads to my shoulders and then my whole body......"
"Oh my God......"
"It doesn't seem like the effect of this untested serum is very good, but for me, it is enough to be able to dedicate my life to an important scientific experiment."
Lao Huang said: "There must be a way, such as amputating your entire arm." β
"No need." Li Kesi shook his head, he took the delicate suitcase and handed it to Lao Huang, "There is still a serum in it, and when you are unconscious, I have saved all the materials that should be saved here on the hard disk, all in it, please hand over this box to Director Li's hands." β
"What are you talking about? Aren't you leaving? β
"I'll just stay here."
"Don't do anything stupid, friend."
"I've decided, needless to say, you still have your friends to rescue, right?" Li Kesi's tone is unquestionable: "Every time they delay, the greater their crisis." β
"But ......"
"No need to be, that's it."
Lao Huang reluctantly took the suitcase and said, "Cherish ......"
When Lao Huang was about to leave, he heard Li Kesi's voice coming from behind: "Huang Zhenmu, I don't know why you want to hide your identity, but I believe that you are not a bad person." β
Lao Huang turned around and looked at the big man.
"The institute has been invaded by spies before, and some important information has been lost, and the timing of your appearance is too clever, Director Li suspects that you may be a spy, and asked me to get rid of you if I find that you have something abnormal, but I don't need it now, if you have anything to say, it's best to tell them directly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Lao Huang nodded, his eyes a little moist.
Leaving this room, Director Li's inquiry came from the headphones, and Lao Huang briefly told him the situation, and there was silence in the headphones.
He carried his suitcase and left this side of the room, and came to the other side, the bodies of the four mutated zombies passing by were still quietly lying in the corridor, passing through the corridor, through the huge rectangular glass window, he observed that there were three zombies in the room, two of them were full of SWAT uniforms, carrying cans behind their backs, that is, the flamethrowers he needed.
When you look at this house closely, the seats are all crooked, the contents of the iron storage shelves leaning against the wall are scattered all over the ground, the experimental equipment on a table, and the paper and the like have all been burned clean by the flames, the walls, the floor, and the small cabinets that have fallen to the ground are all black and have been roasted by the flames, and there are several charcoal-like figures on the ground, which look miserable.
Huang Zhenmu squatted at the door, gently put the suitcase down, and began to calculate the enemy's position already with his own means of attack, one, type Motrillan infected, five meters away, wearing a helmet, aiming at the target, cheeks, the second, at a distance of 7 points 2 meters, wearing a helmet, aiming at the target, the back occipital, the third, 11 points 4 meters, unprotected, aiming at the target, eyebrows.
Lao Huang took three deep breaths, adjusted his state to the best, and appeared at the door of this room, "Toot--" The sound of electricity sounded, and the automatic door automatically separated to both sides, and when the zombie's attention just turned to this side, he had already raised his pistol flat, locked on the target, and with lightning speed, "Bang bang bang!" Three bullets whistled out, hitting all the intended targets accurately, three heads exploded, and the three zombies lay down with a whimper before they could moan.
I am becoming more and more proficient now, and Lao Huang is also a little relieved when he looks at himself.
He went over to remove the flamethrowers from the two corpses, and thankfully, neither of them had erupted from their heads like before, and it looked like they weren't so deeply infected by Motriland.
Lao Huang carried one on his back, and the other in his hand, the weight of the flamethrower was very heavy, one was about 17 kilograms, but now Huang Zhenmu's physical fitness is exceptionally strong, but he will not feel heavy, he went out and took the suitcase, and contacted Director Li: "The flamethrower I want, as well as the serum samples and information you want have arrived." β
"Okay, there aren't many zombies on the intersection, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to pay attention to concealment."
After returning safely, Lao Huang handed over the suitcase to Director Li, and he looked at everyone's faces very heavy, and could only say a few words of comfort. However, Hu Wenjun, as well as Zou Xi, Gao Yang, and Director Li are still preoccupied, and Lao Huang knows that the painless comfort of an outsider has no effect.
"Lux, what does he look like now?" Zou Xi asked, "He's such a good person." β
His arm became ...... How so? Lao Huang pondered the words carefully: "There are some mutations, not like human arms, and he thinks it is likely to continue to spread to other parts of the body." β
"How can this be, Lao Li..."Hu Wenjun couldn't help but cover his face.
Zou Xi thought for a while: "In other words, doesn't the effect of this serum mean that it can be completely cured...?" But not necessarily, do you think he looks like a zombie? β
"No, his face is still very normal, bloody, and sober."
"Then it means that this serum still has an effect, but the effect is not perfect. Why is this stupid big guy so stubborn...... Now that it's all come to this, what's the matter with a little bit of physical difference? Zou Xi said with a sad face.
Gao Yangmu said: "Don't look at Li Kesi's appearance, he cares about his image very, very much, and can be said to be a person who loves beauty very much." He didn't want others to see his arm look like that, he didn't want people to look at him strangely, it would drive him crazy. β
"Hey..."Lao Huang sighed: "By the way, on the way to the battle over there just now, there was a Motriland zombie mutated, after I knocked off its head, more vines grew inside, and many of them came out of the neck, as thick as a python, do you know what that is?" β
There was silence on the other side for a while, and finally Director Li silently replied: "Do you know what the plant you killed at the door before is?" β
"You said that, little Motriland."
"Not exactly," Director Li said: "Motrilan will also cause the infected to mutate differently according to the degree of infection, the monster you encountered should have a relatively deep degree of infection, and it will mutate like that, and that plant was originally a human being, he is also my friend, Lao Xu, in order to block the infected colleagues who broke into the laboratory, he stayed and broke off, he did it, but he also sacrificed himself, he was the one with the deepest degree of infection, Motrilan first came out of his neck, And then from the hands, from the feet, and then from every part of the body, they eat the human body, transforming the flesh into that ......"
Lao Huang nodded: "It's really a monster...... I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked this."
"It's fine."
"That bastard threw the headset away, I can't contact him." Director Li had a sad face: "You ....."
"What am I?"
"Didn't you persuade him in the end?" Director Li was also a little hesitant: "Li Kesi, this kid has a very stubborn temper and is easy to drill the horns, but ...... He stayed there alone, just waiting for death, didn't you persuade him......? β
Lao Huang was speechless.
"I'm sorry, it's not your fault," Director Li didn't wait for Lao Huang to answer: "Forget it, everyone is ready to go." β
The large group of zombies in the hall have been found to have gathered under the steel pillars of the broadcast for a long time, and they have not found any targets to attack, and they have gradually dispersed. Director Li changed to a "Croatian Rhapsody", which had a very intense rhythm, and the attention of the zombies was gradually attracted by the new tune.
They really like music...... Lao Huang teased silently in his heart.
The group tiptoed through the corridors and stairs in the direction of the special passageway, and at this time, they encountered a zombie on the road that was not affected by the music.
There was a flamethrower behind Lao Huang, and the other flamethrower asked Zou Xi to help carry it, Director Li looked at Lao Huang and asked what to do with his eyes. The sound of the music was turned on to the maximum, and it was so noisy that Huang Zhenmu leaned over and whispered: "I'll see if I can go over and assassinate this one, it hasn't discovered us yet." β
Director Li nodded.
"Ahh Hu Wenjun suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Zou Xi asked.
"I didn't take that watch!" Hu Wenjun's face turned red in a hurry: "What should I do!" β
"A watch, forget it!" Zou Xi said impatiently: "What do you think it is?" Not only him, but everyone else also showed a disapproving look.
"That's the only thing my mom left me, and I have to take it." Hu Wenjun was a little annoyed, maybe it was because the radio music was very noisy, which made people's voices not very obvious, and his voice was a little louder.
Director Li scolded in a low voice: "Don't make any noise!" β
"Director Li, I'm going back to get my things, right away!" Hu Wenjun applied to the leadership.
"No way!" Director Li resolutely refused, "Don't make extraneous branches, it's just a watch, don't take this risk!" β
"That's my mother's relic," Hu Wenjun was anxious to burst into tears: "I always wore it on my hand before, but I took it off once, and I actually forgot it." He stopped talking, but squatted down.
"Say you don't want to go!" Director Li said.
However, Hu Wenjun did not obey the leader's orders, and he quietly returned.
Looking at the back of Hu Wenjun turning to leave, Director Li was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded ****.
Zou Xi looked at Director Li: "Are we going to wait for him?" β
Lao Huang replied: "Whatever you want, I won't wait anyway." After he finished speaking, he quietly lurked to the zombie's side from behind, this time he was lucky, the mutated zombie's hearing was very keen, but the violent music sound on the radio covered Lao Huang's footsteps to a certain extent, he pulled out the knife and pierced the back of the zombie's head, and the sharp knife directly pierced the brain that became a little fragile due to the erosion of the virus, Huang Zhenmu gradually used his muscle memory to remember the feeling of stabbing the zombie's head with a dagger, and the zombie did not make any resistance, and fell straight forward.
Cleanly dealt with this zombie, the special passage is already close in front of you, only about forty or fifty meters away, and you can pass it by turning a corner.
Lao Huang turned his head to look at the others, but no one had come with him.
"What's wrong with you?" Huang Zhenmu suppressed his throat and said: "If you stay here for a little longer, it will be more dangerous, go quickly!" β
Director Li looked at Lao Huang in embarrassment, but was silent.
Zou Xi showed an embarrassed expression: "Let's wait for Wenjun." β
"What are you waiting for!" Lao Huang is so angry that he wants to scold, you really want to stay here, I don't want to stay longer for a moment! "Are you leaving? If you don't go, then I'll go first! β
"You can't leave alone." Director Li also felt very entangled: "That special passage requires the management's ID card to open the lock, don't you know?" β
"I know, I have an ID card, Lu Zheng's."
"It's not just that, you need retina certification." Director Li said: "You can't open the door without me." β
Lao Huang was so angry that he was almost depressed, why do human beings always want to be a savior even though they are so fragile?
"Just wait a little longer, and he'll be back soon." Director Li said.
Lao Huang had no choice but to continue to find a hidden place to squat.
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, and the waiting time in dangerous places is even longer, although most of the zombies are concentrated in the hall, but it does not mean that other places are safe, and there are a small number of zombies that are not affected by the sound, or some zombies may stay in places that are better soundproofed, they may hide in various corners, or in the corners of containers, or crawlers, lying under desks, staircase corners, or under chairs.
And just by the handrail of the corridor where his group was hiding, it was not particularly safe, and there were two mutant zombies not far away, and the mutant zombie that was killed by himself for a while, the noise of falling to the ground attracted attention, and then he didn't find any targets worth attacking, so he slowly wandered around the side.
Once they come, Lao Huang does not guarantee that he can save anyone, not even himself.
Several times, I tried to force them to give up waiting with a gun and go directly to a special passage, and pressed the handle of the gun with my hand, but I still gave up.
Finally, Hu Wenjun's figure in the distance reappeared, he bent his waist and ran cautiously and quickly towards this side.
"This little bastard is finally here." Director Li scolded in a low voice.
Everyone's mood was also a little lighter, and they showed a soothing smile.
Not far from the meeting, Hu Wenjun ran too quickly to notice his feet, tripped over a huge cable heel as thick as his arm, and fell heavily to the ground, "Bangββββββ!" This fell so hard that he almost lost his breath.
At this time, the music on the radio also happened to be at the time point when the rhythm was relatively soft, and the sound was just a short blank space, and the sound of Hu Wenjun falling sounded so harsh to everyone's ears.
He immediately got up, his eyes looking down the stairs down the hall, and at least two dozen zombies noticed him.
