Chapter 72: A Rare Ease
Pulling Verelle and Lu Lili out of the third laboratory, Chen Hang closed the glass door again. After resetting the combination lock, Chen Hang said softly: "The Chen Hang inside must live, otherwise there will be no current me." ”
At night, Little Hope's fever finally subsided, she slept soundly, everyone's hearts finally relaxed, and the sky outside began to snow again.
The first office was huge, and the interior was quite well designed. It can be seen here that Chairman Chen dotes on this only son. He has a lot of things that young people like here, and there are plenty of food supplies. These things were clearly left for the child in the freezer, and the chairman wanted to give the child a warm feeling when he regained consciousness.
Everyone took out the food stored here, and then sat quietly by the window and looked down, everyone felt that the food in their mouths was so precious.
It's pretty much the tallest place in New York City, and what used to be a tall building is now a dwarf. Every building was covered with snow, and the whole world was completely white.
As Chen Hang said, the dormant laboratory is completely isolated from the outer layer of the building, and it is very safe and quiet. In the absence of external interference, everyone suddenly felt at home, and everyone felt the taste of peace of mind.
It was getting dark, the snow was still falling, and there was not a single light in the city. After the power outage, New York City's heating system was completely paralyzed, so the snow in the city was thicker than in any other year. For the first time, from the air, New York City actually gave people a taste of wilderness.
After leaving the third laboratory, Chen Hang never looked inside again. He sat quietly by the window with a loaf of bread in his hand, no one knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Lili took a cup of coffee and handed it to Chen Hang, and Chen Hang reacted for a long time. When Chen Hang took the coffee, Lu Lili asked in a low voice, "Chen Hang, where are we going in the future?" ”
Chen Hang didn't speak while holding the coffee, the steam rising from the cup slowly spread to his face, and after a while, Chen Hang replied leisurely: "I don't know either." Find a way to get out of here. ”
"Where to go?"
"In the wilderness, humans will return to the forest." After a few sips of coffee, Chen Hang's thoughts seemed to slowly return, and he began to say his plan:
"We still have to find a way to get out of here. In the first few years of the apocalypse, most of the zombies still gather in the city, so this is the most dangerous place.
But as time goes on, more zombies start to move up the ranks, and they start to leave the city in search of food, and the jungle becomes unsafe. ”
"Isn't there no hope for us humans?" Lu Lili sighed softly, she had accepted the cruel reality that the end was coming.
Chen Hang smiled, but there was some bitterness in that smile: "It's not hopeless, human beings have also begun to evolve."
In order to fight the zombies, all the remaining scientific and technological power of mankind was used in potion research. Some scientists have made major breakthroughs in the research of gene drugs, and your mentor Jiang Dongcheng is one of them.
He improved his first-generation products in the last days, and then Jiang Dongcheng began to promote these drugs. People who have been vaccinated with drugs are beginning to have unimaginable abilities, and humans are gradually able to compete with zombies. ”
After listening to Chen Hang's description, Lu Lili's eyes showed a puzzled look, and she asked, "In that case, why do you hate Professor Jiang so much?" Isn't his research helping humanity? ”
Chen Hang clenched his fists, and his face turned white again: "Help? How could he possibly help others? Jiang Dongcheng is not only a scientific madman, he is also a madman, a madman who wants to rule the world.
Why do you think he developed the drug, because he wanted to inject himself in the end, he was just using other people as his experiments, he was building up his army of 'monsters', and at the end of the day, he would be the most powerful one. ”
"Demon beasts? I've heard you talk about monsters several times, what is that? Lu Lili asked strangely.
Chen Hangdao: "There are two kinds of demon beasts, one of which is a person who has failed to evolve. Those genetic drugs are very unstable, and you can see how it reacts to me. If there were no targeted inhibition drugs, I would have been evolving and there was no way to recover until I completely turned into a demon beast.
Among the genetic drugs of the apocalypse, Jiang Dongcheng's research is the most radical, he doesn't care about failure at all, Jiang Dongcheng just wants to find the most powerful formula.
These genetic drugs were experimented with in large numbers on humans and animals, and so these subjects began to evolve, and he (it) evolved new varieties of organisms with amazing abilities.
But the new creatures are uncontrolled, they can no longer even be called humans, and these creatures have become natural enemies of humans. ”
"Then there are no success stories?"
"Yes, but it's not much. The negative effects of genetic drugs are so great that you don't know when it will flare up, but I believe that some people have succeeded.
But if you think about it, the humans who originally survived were already very difficult, and now new species have appeared, and monsters are also fighting for the right to survive on the earth. Isn't Jiang Dongcheng's research pushing humans into the fire pit? ”
Lu Lili stopped talking, she also looked out the window, and there was goose feather snow in the sky.
After a while, Lu Lili said: "Study your blood sample, I don't want you to become a demon beast." ”
Chen Hang smiled, looking at Lu Lili's busy back on the workbench, he was very glad that he had pulled this future "red spider" to his side for the first time.
Verelle was also very relaxed, she took off the body armor, changed into loose clothes and put them on, Verelle was nestled in an office chair, she was bored fiddling with the computer on the table.
The back of the chair pressed against her lower back, so her chest had to be raised high, and an astonishing arc formed there, and Verelle inadvertently attracted Chen Hang's attention.
Chen Hang walked over with a smile, and he found that Verier was calling the system's monitoring function. The lab has a backup power system, and the latest technology allows it to run for years without "support", so the monitors supported by the system are still useful, and Verelle easily pulls up the footage outside the storage room where the elevator entrance was located.
In that corridor, there were very few zombies that had gathered here. They couldn't open the iron door, and they couldn't hear any movement inside, so the zombie hordes gradually dispersed, leaving only countless zombie remains and one or two zombies, wandering around like "geistes".
