Huang Weizheng couldn't understand my sudden move. He looked at the pendant and then at me, who was glaring at him, hesitated for a few seconds, but slowly reached out to take the pendant, and hesitated: "I...... Uh......"

"Stop talking nonsense. Since you are so sure of your judgment, then as a brother, I have nothing more to say. Now that the things are handed over to you, I have already said what should be said, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with me. I walked straight to the bed, took off my jacket and lay down, closed my eyes and said, "I'm tired, I have a lot to do tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first." ”

"Hmm...... Well......" Huang Weizheng, who finally got his wish and got the information, was not happy because of this, on the contrary, he felt the burden that had been on my shoulders because of what I said.

Although I closed my eyes, I could feel Huang Weizheng standing still and watching me quietly for a long time. I'm afraid I'm saying something excessive, but what else can I do to get him to compromise? If it is not resolved today, there will be an impasse tomorrow. It was a long time before I heard his voice and a faint sigh as he lay back in his lazy chair.

I quietly opened my eyes and turned to see his thin back and shadows swaying on the walls in the dim candlelight. Outside, the footsteps of the night watchman grew closer and farther away, and the chirping of insects at night tried to break the silence of the night. I haven't seen my good brother for more than a month, and I met again today, could it be that I have forgotten how to talk to him?

In a small room like a down-and-out homeless man's bungalow, I lay on a bed made of wooden planks and then covered with a blanket, staring at Huang Weizheng, who was resting surrounded by messy furnishings and packages; It's a bit ridiculous to think about, but in fact, the two of us are just the same thing. Tonight's argument made me forget to say a word to him, and now I can't say it anymore. The immersion gradually clouded my consciousness, and it wasn't long before sleepiness took over. I spoke silently again, closing my sleepy eyes and hiding into a dream that might be better than reality.

It felt like in the blink of an eye, the sound of the rain outside the house dispelled the dreamless night, and I rubbed my sleepy eyes and half-sat up. The extinguished candle on the coffee table had softened into a mass of wax, and there was no one else in the room except me, and Huang Weizheng disappeared while I was asleep. The roller shutter of the room was unlocked, and the key to the table was not taken by him. I was a little uneasy, so I quickly put on my clothes and picked up my gun, and as soon as I opened the door, I was hit in the face by the oncoming wind and drizzle.

"Shit, it's damn weather." I've never liked rainy days, especially after a crisis.

Where can Huang Weizheng go? The drizzle at the turn of spring and winter is not big or small, and I don't see too many passers-by around. Usually when this kind of gloomy weather arrives, people are more likely to stay at home. While there is no need to worry about mutant attacks in the safe zone, survivors of the apocalypse prefer to cut back on unnecessary outings at times like these, as if they were used to a life of fear.

Just then, passing by two guards in raincoats, I grabbed them and asked, "Hey, brother, have you seen those people from Wanxiang City?" ”

"Are you talking about your two friends and the old wolf of Wanxiang City? They went to the infirmary, and it seems that the mayor went too. ”

When the guards said that, there must be something big. The old wolf seems to have a good reputation, and although I haven't heard much of this man, it seems that everyone in the safe zone has heard of his deeds more or less except me. Having said that, what did Huang Weizheng think, he didn't wake me up at this time. After thanking the guards, I hurriedly ran in the direction of the main building, and naturally did not forget to complain about Huang Weizheng in my heart.

When I came to the main building, I was already soaking wet, and I casually shook off the rain on my body, and hurried to Dr. Liao Yuan's infirmary. Before I could get to the infirmary, the crowd was already blocking my way. It's like a shopping mall where a big purchase is about to begin, and the walkway leading to the infirmary is crowded with people, as if everyone wants to squeeze in and watch the excitement.

However, with a gun on my back, I was both a scout and an alternative who was "famous" in Aoyama. When people saw me, they immediately ran away from me, as if they would get a terminal illness if they touched me. However, I had become accustomed to their attitude, and simply took advantage of this "privilege" to stride through the corridor.

"Okay, since we have both reached an agreement, then now I will hand over the HTS89R vaccine to you, and I hope that the infected patients in your safe area can recover soon." As soon as I walked to the door of the infirmary, I saw the old wolf solemnly handing over the safe containing the vaccine to Mayor Liao Daiping.

"First of all, thank you for your assistance," just like in the movie where two organizations are engaged in some kind of mysterious transaction, Liao Daiping took the safe and handed it to Camp Commander Yang behind her, at this time she and the others present also noticed my presence. She glanced at me, and I could vaguely feel her dissatisfaction with my move to hand over the information to Huang Weizheng, "Of course, this is a conditional aid. ”

"We've just done a blood test, and we've all seen the effectiveness of the vaccine. I hope that Tsingshan and Wanxiang City can work together in the future to develop a truly curative ...... as soon as possible Vaccine against the zombie virus HTS89. "Blood tests? Could it be that Huang Weizheng and the others have already taken advantage of my absence to take a blood test? In that case, I don't have to worry about the secret being made public for the time being.

I was secretly glad that I suddenly felt a piercing gaze coming from somewhere, and in a trance, my erratic gaze happened to collide with Huang Wei's torch-like eyes. The look in his eyes seemed to ask me if I was hiding something from him, and forced me to take a few steps back.

"There is no doubt about the efficacy of the vaccine, and as for the future cooperation, of course, it depends on Wanxiangcheng's future actions. However, I must emphasize that this is also a good start to the cooperation. Liao Daiping's words made people feel a little official, but the momentum of the indomitable was not weakened in the slightest because of the help of Wanxiang City.

"I hope so." Although the man named Old Wolf was not good-looking, he seemed to be a good negotiator, and he nodded politely to Liao Daiping and said, "Then this time we will be considered to have successfully concluded the transaction." ”

The old wolf stretched out his right hand, and Liao Daiping also shook hands with him happily and said, "That's right, when do you plan to leave for Wanxiang City?" ”

"Now." Speaking of this, the old wolf glanced at Huang Weizheng who was standing beside him, "Let's take a short rest and set off." ”

"It's a bad day," I suddenly interjected, surrounded by the crowd, "Do you want to wait until the weather is good before you go?" ”

I say this not in an attempt to let Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying stay in Qingshan, but to worry about whether we will be able to call each other brothers and sisters the next time we meet. Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying, as well as the people around them, all set their eyes on me, an unsociable outlier, at this time.

After about two or three seconds, Chen Mo, who had been hiding beside Dr. Liao Yuan, couldn't help but support me in a pleading tone: "Yes, you don't have to be in such a hurry to leave. It's raining so hard today, and the way back to Wanxiang City must be dangerous. And...... You don't have to go back......"

Seeing Chen Mo bowing her head and muttering in disappointment, Zhang Xiaoying walked up to her with a smile, hugged and comforted her, and said, "It's okay, we're just in different safe areas, and we'll meet again in the future." ”

Will meet again...... I don't question Zhang Xiaoying's words at all, but will we still cherish each other like we do next time we meet?

"That's right, welcome to Wanxiang." Huang Weizheng took Zhang Xiaoying's words, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

The three of them left the infirmary in this way under the attention of everyone, and when they passed by me, Huang Weizheng deliberately stopped, but he did not look at me, but looked straight ahead and whispered two words to me - take care.

After a simple goodbye, Huang Weizheng followed in the footsteps of Zhang Xiaoying and the old wolf. After they had walked another five or six steps, I decided to stop him after much deliberation and said, "Ox! He turned to look at me calmly, "Well, I'm glad to see you safe." In the future, you must also take care and live. ”

"Hmm." I finally saw Huang Weizheng's long-lost and sincere smile again at this moment.

Huang Weizheng's fleeting smile and the backs of the three of them disappeared into the crowd. For others, they are just survivors of another safe zone, and possibly even enemies, but nothing is more important to them at the moment than the vaccine that can treat the subspecies of the virus.

The crowd would be boiling in the blink of an eye, but the crowd would deliberately avoid me and swarm into the infirmary. They scrambled to ask when doctors could treat their or their relatives' and friends' strange ailments extensively. Dr. Liao and her colleagues were immediately busy. Thankfully, the mayor's presence calmed people's mood.

She asked Dr. Liao Yuan to make a list of critically ill patients as soon as possible, give priority to vaccinating the critically ill today, and at the same time start to expand and cultivate new vaccines according to vaccine samples. Although there is a slight shortage of supplies in the safety zone, in terms of medicines, Tsingshan also has sufficient reserves, and it is believed that as long as the formula of the samples is understood, doctors should be able to produce vaccines quickly. The order at the scene was also gradually restored to normal under the maintenance of Battalion Commander Yang and the guards.

In order not to be looked down upon by others, I planned to leave the infirmary as soon as possible, but I was pulled from behind as soon as I was about to leave. "Du Yuheng, come with me."

Before I could respond, Dr. Liao Yuan led me into the small room next to the infirmary. This small room is filled with all kinds of medical examination instruments and tools for testing medicines. Just looking at these furnishings, it is not difficult to guess that this is Dr. Liao's medical laboratory.

At present, there are two laboratories in Aoyama, one is a sterile room with high-magnification electron microscope and other specialized research equipment, and the other is a general laboratory where we are now. The sterile lab was set up after the spread of the subspecies virus in the safe zone, and the scouts moved the research equipment that had been left behind in the temporary quarantine station of the No. 3 Middle School to Castle Peak, and then the people worked hard to build a sterile room in a relatively clean box in the main building. The reason why it takes so much effort is to be able to develop a vaccine as soon as possible. In comparison, the laboratory we are in is a bit shabby, more like the secret attic of some strange doctor, but Dr. Liao suddenly brought me here does not seem to be doing any terrible ** medical experiment with me, although her expression is also very serious, not at all like the fat doctor who usually smiles.

"What's wrong?"

"You must not get that vaccine." Liao Yuan warned, "I can't guarantee that you will be okay after the injection. ”

Although I suspect that my physical condition is different from that of other survivors of infection, I was somewhat surprised when Dr. Liao said this to me. "Are you saying there's something wrong with the vaccine?"

"No, the vaccine works. But that's the vaccine against HTS89R, and the symptoms you had before were similar to those of people infected with this subsp. virus, but I've compared that the substance in your body is different from HTS89R. And ......"

"And what?"

"And it will devour HTS89R."

"You mean I already have antibodies to this subspecies virus in my body? Wouldn't we be able to do without the vaccines provided by Wanxiang City? ”

I was about to propose to get back the information that Huang Weizheng obtained, but Liao Yuan immediately interrupted me and said, "You are only half right. You should have an antibody-like substance in your body, but it's too lethal and kills the host as well as the virus. ”

"Can't anyone else use it except me......"

"That's right, but that's not the point." Liao Yuan looked around and said to me in a cautious whisper, "I think the drug that Qin Rong injected you with that you said might really be an antibody to treat the zombie virus, because it can kill HTS89R, which means that it has an effect on the original HTS89." ”

"Then you can try it and see if it works." I excitedly said.

"I've done several experiments, and the results are the same as those injected into HTS89R infected people, and the host will be killed."

I was poured a basin of cold water and complained, "It's all good luck, it's all come to this." ”

"That's kind of progress, and I'll think about it later. You trust me so much, back up the data to me, I will not fail to live up to your trust. ”

"Does anyone else know?"

In fact, long before Huang Weizheng came back, I had already handed over the information that Liu Licheng gave me to Dr. Liao Yuan, so that she could better study the unknown components in my blood; After all, it is better to give it to leaders who will only use this information as a bargaining chip in the struggle for power, and to give it directly to researchers who are actually using it for research and working to solve the crisis. That's right, that's my plan. Since Qingshan and Wanxiang City both want to monopolize this information, I might as well share it directly with both parties.

Today, the significance of this information given by Liu Licheng as a political bargaining chip has exceeded its own scientific research value. From the day I claimed to have this information, I told Liao that this information was nothing more than a research report and related data of a frontline response team, and that it could only be valuable in the hands of someone who knew how to use it.

However, Liao Daiping seems to be more concerned about whether this information will fall into the hands of people in other security zones like Wanxiang City, so it can be seen that if she gets this information, she will also deal with other security zones like she is worried about when others get the information. So I backed up the information to Dr. Liao Yuan without her knowledge and asked her to study it alone.

"Didn't I promise you, now I know about this, your blood sample was not used in the vaccine test just now, and the information is safely kept with me, you can rest assured." Liao Yuan said with a smile.

"Hmm. But I'll tell Mayor Liao Daiping about it later. ”

"Huh? Don't you want other people to know? ”

"Yes, but that's if only one party has the information. Now that Wanxiang City has obtained the information, I am worried that Liao Daiping will find a way to take the information back, which will exacerbate the contradiction between Qingshan and Wanxiang City. ”

"Yes, you have a point." Liao Yuan patted me on the shoulder and praised, "I didn't expect you to be so smart, you don't look like a bad boy who doesn't learn at all." ”

"I'm not a bad boy in the first place." I retorted.

"Just kidding." The time for serious conversation seemed to be over, and Liao Yuan turned back into a kind fat sister and smiled, "Okay, okay, you let me take some more blood samples first, and then go to the mayor; The previous samples were running out. ”

I thought it wouldn't take much time to draw blood, but when the news came out of the infirmary that someone had fainted, Dr. Liao Yuan hurried to deal with it, and although it didn't take too long, it wasted a lot of time; It is estimated that Huang Weizheng and the others should have left Qingshan on the way to Wanxiang City.

After Liao Yuan helped me draw my blood, I didn't stay any longer in the infirmary and prepared to go to the mayor's office to tell the disappointed Liao Daiping the truth. But as soon as she was halfway there, she saw Chen Mo walking briskly from the other end of the aisle as if she had been bullied, and immediately ran to me when she saw me, but she seemed to be afraid of something, and secretly glanced back at the aisle where no one else could be seen, and then looked at me mysteriously and panickedly, and whispered with a crying voice: "Du Yuheng, go find Huang Weizheng and them." ”

"What's going on? Didn't they go back to Wanxiang City? ”

"Yes, I've been walking for more than half an hour."

"Isn't that enough, I guess it's already here. You don't miss him so quickly, do you? ”

I wanted to fight Chen Mo two more haha, but she suddenly lowered me, put her mouth next to my ear and trembled: "Someone wants to kill him." ”
