Chapter 50: The Feast

"I heard that Huang Weizheng's condition has improved, is that so?" Zhang Xing asked me knowingly.

"Yes......"

"You should be happy!" Zhang Xing took a sip of tea, moved forward and pressed it on the dining table, "Thanks to him, our vaccine can finally be developed; Oh, and of course, you also have credit. ”

I didn't speak, glanced at my companions who were sitting around me, and then looked back at Zhang Xing, who was smiling and not smiling. He sighed and continued: "Well, it's fine now. Originally, I could only say to our friends in Aoyama that the vaccine is still in the experimental stage; Now I can tell them directly that we already have a vaccine and that we have the first person to be cured. Speaking of this, Zhang Xing took another sip of tea, and seeing that we didn't react, his face was still a little puzzled, and he persuaded, "Hey? Don't be nervous. This tea is the best Tieguanyin, it was placed in a store in the mall before, marked with the highest price. You kids have to try it if you don't like it, it's not sold in the shabby shop downstairs right now. ”

It's true that I don't like tea, but now it's not a question of whether I like it or not, but whether there is a problem in his tea. When everyone was in a dilemma, a scavenger appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, and Zhang Xing immediately shifted his attention to the entrance. We all turned our heads to see what was going on over there.

I saw Liu Yijing, who was wearing a standard office suit, walking into the restaurant with Liao Daiping and Zhang Xizheng. Liu Yijing straightened her long hair and draped diagonally over her shoulders, a navy blue suit top was an off-white shirt, and the slim skirt made her tall. Anyone who has heard of her identity may not have imagined that she was a chemistry teacher before the crisis broke out. Liao Daiping, who was standing on the side, was very different from her, just wearing a slightly old gray-white jacket, not to mention Zhang Xizheng, who was thin and accompanied Liao Daiping like a shrunken puppet.

"Ahh Welcome, welcome! Zhang Xing didn't stand up to greet him, but just sat in his position and said with his hands slightly open, "Wanxiang City welcomes Mayor Liao to come and inspect. ”

Zhang Xing's words were clearly a mockery of Liao Daiping, but Liao Daiping didn't pay attention to it. She sat in the empty seat next to me under Liu Yijing's guidance, and Zhang Xizheng sat in the last empty seat next to her. After sitting down next to me, Liao Daiping secretly smiled at me in friendliness, and I nodded in acknowledgement. Zhang Xing was naturally not idle, this was a rare opportunity for him, as soon as he sat down, he began to test Zhang Xing's tone like a side tap; Of course, Zhang Xing just coped with things easily. Liu Yijing, who was standing behind me, motioned for the food to be served, and the two guys, who knew at a glance that they were not ordinary waiters, quietly served the steaming dishes to the table.

"I have people prepare these dishes well, and I hope you like them." Zhang Xing politely transferred the best dishes to Liao Daiping and Zhang Xizheng, "Braised chicken with mushrooms, shredded pork with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes...... Yes! This this, this! This is a good thing, a while ago we had someone catch a big fish by the river, hehe, it's not just Wei Jiahui who can take advantage of this river, and he is not the only one on the river......"

Zhang Xingyou introduced his good dishes with a smile, but I didn't pay much attention to what he said later. Because the hot dish in front of me is indeed the food I haven't seen in a long time, but I am familiar with it. I've long been tired of eating canned food and some rice porridge that tastes like chewing wax, and I almost forgot what the chicken, duck and fish taste like, and when I saw these dishes in front of me, I had to say that I was about to leave my vigilance behind. In the past, these may have been just ordinary people's meals, but now, they are simply state feast sacraments.

Under Zhang Xing's expression, Liao Daiping lifted the chopsticks, set up a piece of chicken with flowing sauce with an unbelievable look, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, and after tasting it carefully, she showed a look of nostalgia and emotion. Liao Daiping put down her chopsticks and said to Zhang Xing calmly: "You really know how to live." At this point, I have to admire you, City Lord Zhang. ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Zhang Xing turned the dishes around and let the rest of us taste a few bites. He may have done this to make us let our guard down, but with such a rare delicacy in front of him, no matter what kind of intrigues he has to do later, let's eat a few bites first!

After a few rounds of eating, neither Zhang Xing nor Liao Daiping mentioned the issues I expected them to discuss. There is no mention of the cooperation and disputes between the two security zones. Zhang Xing's unhurried is reasonable, but Liao Daiping's calmness makes me curious, could it be that she really has a bargaining chip that can make Zhang Xing disgrace? Until the end, Zhang Xizheng finally couldn't hold his breath and decided to open the skylight and say something bright.

"City Lord Zhang, I'm afraid it's time for us to talk about business." Zhang Xizheng pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose and said, "Regarding the cooperation between the two sides......"

"Oh! Yeah! I forgot. Zhang Xing deliberately put on a duplicitous appearance and said contrivedly. I almost forgot that this dinner is about cooperation. Well, I think Mayor Liao just saw it, just across the street from the restaurant where we were eating is a Wanxiang City laboratory, and the people there are all scientists and people who have the knowledge to help me find as much as possible for virus research. ”

"Aoyama has the same strength in this regard......"

"Oh, really?" Zhang Xing interrupted Zhang Xizheng's words for the second time, "Although Qingshan has somewhat recovered from the last accident, I think if you want to talk about this research strength, it should no longer be comparable to us." And, about the vaccine. I have good news that not long ago, our Dr. Lo Wah Hung completed a clinical trial of a vaccine and cured the first infected person. ”

"Healing?" Liao Daiping and Zhang Xizheng looked at each other and said in surprise, "You have already cured a patient?" ”

"Yes, you can take my word for it. The patient who was cured, you probably know. He is sitting with these friends, a little ghost named Huang Weizheng. "He was infected with the virus from a zombie bite before, but our vaccine has now recovered him, and now we are waiting for him to wake up." ”

"It seems that Zhang Chengzhu's research team is really amazing. I heard that at that time, you held an international medical team hostage that had not been evacuated from the city, but I didn't expect that this team actually developed a vaccine. As soon as Liao Daiping spoke, Zhang Xing's expression immediately changed slightly, "But it's no wonder that the people in this team thought that you saved them, but in fact, the zombie group they trapped that day was led by you, am I right?" ”

"You know a lot about us." Liu Yijing leaned on the back of the chair where Zhang Xing was sitting and said, "But I think if you say this, it will hurt everyone's feelings a little." After all, we're all going to work together. ”

Zhang Xizheng suddenly asked Liu Yijing: "Cooperation? Are you really willing to do that? ”

"Of course." Liu Yijing replied simply and calmly.

"Not necessarily."

As soon as Zhang Xizheng finished speaking, two men who did not look like scavengers broke into the restaurant with powerful steps. As soon as the scavengers present wanted to stop them, before they could move, more than a dozen people with weapons ran out from behind the two men, standing in a fan shape behind Liao Daiping and Zhang Xizheng, and at the same time, several people were guarding the door of the restaurant. These people's outfits are not as casual as the scavengers in Wanxiang City, and although their weapons and costumes are not uniform, they all have a red ribbon tied to their right arm.

"Which one is this?" Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Xizheng and Liao Daiping indifferently, as well as the Qingshan scouts who suddenly appeared behind them.

"Zhang Xing, we've had enough of playing tricks. Qingshan's blood debt, I'm going to let you pay it off all at once today! Zhang Xizheng stood up excitedly, pointed at Zhang Xing's nose and scolded, "In the time of your meal, our people have occupied all of your underground floors, including the laboratory!" ”

Zhang Xing leaned back in his chair and calmly looked at Zhang Xizheng, who was a little nervous and stammering. "Oh? Do you think that in Wanxiang City, people can turn the sky upside down with this point? Now I can have hundreds of brothers. ”

"Those hundreds of people are working for you only because you have a vaccine. Now that the vaccine is in our hands, do you think they will still work for you? Liao Daiping, who was sitting in front of Zhang Xing, asked Zhang Xingdao coldly.

"Hahaha, it looks like you really don't plan to have this meal with me." Zhang Xing sighed, calmly took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and said to me while chewing: "Classmate Du Yuheng, I'm right with you." None of the adults here are good people. ”

I looked at Zhang Xing silently, my hands already trembling under the table. Before I arrived, I sewed a bandage on the left cuff of my jacket, just enough to fit into the syringe containing the plant vaccine. As soon as I moved my hand, the needle of the syringe could puncture the bandage and pierce my wrist at any time, and if I pushed the syringe down, the drug that would drive me crazy would be injected into my body immediately. But should I do that? Zhang Xing is indeed not a good person, but at this time, Zhang Xizheng and Liao Daiping's behavior seems a little despicable......

Seeing that I was hesitant, Zhang Xing didn't bother to wait for me to react. He sighed, and Liu Yijing, who was beside him, made way for him to stand up. Compared with Zhang Xing, Liu Yijing does not seem to be as calm as before, even now, as if all this is expected and even under their control.

"Mayor Liao, let me tell you the truth, I really want to cooperate with you this time. But you just don't believe me as a person. Zhang Xing looked condescendingly at Liao Daiping, who was sitting in front of him, "What are you going to do to me in front of these young people?" ”

"I won't do anything to you."

"Are you going to put me in jail?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you want to hold a court and try me publicly?" ”

"I want to know one thing, did you deliberately manipulate the medicine you gave to Aoyama at that time?" Liao Daiping stared at Zhang Xing angrily and asked.

Zhang Xing shook his head, tapped his fingers twice on the table, looked at Liao Daiping's eyes and replied word by word: "That's right." ”

"You bastard!" Wei Hong suddenly broke out and scolded angrily, "So many lives! Do you still have humanity? ”

"If I don't do this, you will ruin this sooner or later, and the people who follow me are not human, aren't they?" Zhang Xing finally tore his face and stopped Wei Hong, "Don't use high-sounding words to disguise your selfishness!" At this time, who the doesn't just want to live? ”

Wei Hong closed his mouth unconvinced, changed his words, adjusted his tone and asked Liao Daiping: "By the way, Mayor Liao, why did you change your mind again and don't plan to cooperate with me?" Or did you not have that idea in the first place? ”

"At the beginning, we really wanted to cooperate with Wanxiang City." Liao Daiping said, "But I'm sorry for your uncertain attitude. What we are going to do next is a matter of survival for humanity, and we can't afford to miss it. And ......" Speaking of this, Liao Daiping seemed to glance at Liu Yijing, who was standing beside Zhang Xing, "Instead of cooperating with you, we think it would be better to accept your power in its entirety." ”

"Save the human race...... "Zhang Xing crossed his waist and lowered his head and said to himself, he looked at me again, "It's all about this, do you still think they are good people?" ”

I still can't do it, is it worth it for me to do this for the sake of Zhang Xing? No matter what, Liao Daiping doesn't look like someone who will coerce and lure me. At least she looks more like a good person...... But......

"Sure enough, a little ghost is a little ghost." Zhang Xing shook his head in disappointment at me, and then said unexpectedly, "Do it." ”

I thought I had misheard, but almost at the same time, there was a sound of a pistol being quickly pulled out and a bullet rubbing against each other from the Qingshan scouts behind Zhang Xizheng and them. Immediately after the crisp gunshot, a blooming blood flower instantly appeared on Zhang Xizheng's chest. Everyone's attention was on the scout behind Zhang Xizheng, who was the man who had just walked in, and he looked like he was still a captain. At the same time, several members of the scout team suddenly pulled out their weapons and killed the remaining companions who had not yet reacted. Liao Daiping was terrified and covered the bleeding wound of Zhang Xizheng, who was lying in place and dying. Several of us all stood up and retreated, but before we could take a few steps back, we were controlled by Zhang Xing's people.

"Do you really think you're in control?" Zhang Xing sat back in his seat disdainfully, looked at Zhang Xizheng, who was dying, and said with a smile, "Settle accounts with me?" Hmph, is the account settled? ”

"How so?"

"You guys aren't as upright as you think." Zhang Xing pointed at Liao Daiping with chopsticks and said, "But you are right, the reason why they work hard for me is because I have a vaccine." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xing looked at me again and said, "There are no good people here, and of course I am not a good person." It's a shame you still don't understand what I told you that day. He winked at the Aoyama defection scout who had fired the first shot, and continued to smile at me, "Oh yes, you still have a few friends who almost missed this meal today." ”

Zhang Xing said, only to see two scavengers who should have looked like Qingshan scouts escorting Wei Liqin into the restaurant. "I've heard that there are two more, but I haven't found them yet, but I think it's only a matter of time."

Chen Mo saw Wei Liqin, whose head was bleeding, and couldn't help asking, "Wei Liqin?" Why ......"

"I'm sorry, we wanted to come in earlier so we could pick you up......," Wei Liqin apologized with a sad face, but he didn't realize how much trouble it would cause us to say so.

Oh my...... I don't even know what to say about them...... My expression at the moment is probably more ugly than a bitter melon. Zhang Xing gloated and looked at us embarrassed. "It seems that Du Yuheng, you are not unintelligent, but you are on the wrong side."

Hearing that Zhang Xing's tone was wrong, he hurriedly shouted: "It's not like this! ”

"It's too late." Zhang Xing didn't listen to my explanation at all, and without even looking at me, he pulled out a pistol from Liu Yijing's back and shot Wei Liqin in the chest.

"No!"

The shouts of my friends and I couldn't have stopped the bullet from piercing Wei Liqin's chest. I could only watch my friend fall in front of me and bleed profusely until he breathed his last breath, and his eyes didn't close.

Zhang Xing returned the gun to Liu Yijing, and continued to eat vegetables by himself. "It's a lesson for you."

"Lessons? What did Wei Liqin do wrong? Liang Minxuan scolded angrily.

"If you want to blame, blame Du Yuheng." Zhang Xing didn't care about Liang Minxuan's abuse at all.

The scolding of his friends against Zhang Xing had no effect at all except to vent his anger, and Zhang Xing even enjoyed it. But in the scolding, I seemed to smell the murderous aura hidden in the corner, and this murderous aura was behind Zhang Xing. When I became aware, Liu Yijing, who was behind Zhang Xing, actually raised a gun at Zhang Xing in front of everyone.

Zhang Xing felt the muzzle of the black hole behind him, and everyone around him also held their breath, and in the next second in their minds, they could already imagine the moment when Zhang Xing's brain splashed.

"I didn't think you would do that." Zhang Xing looked at Liu Yijing calmly and said, "Is it because of Liu Yong's matter?" ”

Isn't the Liu Yong mentioned by Zhang Xing exactly Team Liu? This guy almost killed me in the tunnel, but was later killed by Huang Weizheng. Now it seems that this person named Liu Yong is really an undercover agent sent to Qingshan by Wanxiang; But I don't know why I have anything to do with Liu Yijing.

"That's right, you deliberately sent him to Qingshan to die that day! Right? Liu Yijing's angry tears already showed that his relationship with Liu Yong was not simple.

Facing Liu Yijing's questioning, Zhang Xing laughed and said: "It's obvious that you betrayed me, don't say so righteous, Ling Ran, okay." Shoot if you want to. ”

As soon as Zhang Xing finished speaking, Liu Yijing didn't even use a second of melancholy, she immediately pulled the trigger in anger, but the gun did not fire, to be precise, there was no bullet in the gun; The shot that Zhang Xing fired at Wei Liqin just now was the last bullet, he must have done it on purpose!

"What's ......" Liu Yijing opened the magazine in surprise, and sure enough, there were no bullets in it at all.

Poor Liu Yijing just reacted back, and when she looked up, she saw another gun that Zhang Xing took out of his pocket and pointed it at him. Zhang Xing also did not hesitate at all, the gunfire simply rang out, and the bullet dragging the tongue of fire shot straight through Liu Yijing's head. The woman fell to the ground without even letting out a last scream, and after a brief convulsion, she remained motionless.

What happened in front of us was so sudden, not to mention the few screams from the girls among us, that even the guards stood there dumbfounded. I didn't say anything, just stared at Wei Liqin's corpse with a hideous expression, and then looked at the pathetic Liu Yijing, the syringe in the cuff was pumping the damn drug into my body little by little. That's right, let this madness unleash my anger!

The effect of the medicine took effect quickly, and my chest was hot, and my limbs gradually became numb and unconscious. Chen Mo saw me staggering and already thought about what I had done. My mind is swollen and my willpower is waning. I only remember that at the last moment when I was about to lose my mind, I squeezed out a little self-deprecating smile at Chen Mo.

"! Didn't you give them a few body searches! "When I regained my hearing again, the sound of panicked reprimand flickered in my ears, and under the blurred vision, I saw my bloody hands tearing at a man's internal organs.

"Shoot!" Under Zhang Xing's order, gunshots rang out.

Bullets whizzed past me, maybe a few had already entered me, but I didn't feel the pain. Although I couldn't control my body, I had one thing in mind - kill Zhang Xing! It felt like a nightmare. What I saw before my eyes were bloody episodes.

I was biting a man's throat, and my hand holding the gun was torn off by me; A misfired, homemade submachine gun, shattered the chandelier on the ceiling overhead. In an instant, the most important light source in the room was lost. The smell of darkness and blood awakened the imprisoned power within me, and the bloodthirsty mania and excitement drove me to become a beast in the darkness. The cries of human beings in grief and panic came and went, and the fresh blood plasma continued to baptize my body.

In the aisle where the lights flickered and flickered, I chased after a man holding the girl hostage. The smell he gave me was the best clue I had to track him down, and I could find him wherever he was hiding. But he was like a frightened fox, dodging my deadly pursuit again and again. A man with a fire axe flashed in front of me. I dodged his axe and jumped up to crush him to the ground, he panicked, and I didn't hesitate to rip off his jaw. The man's wails didn't last long before he choked to death with his own blood.

Not him......

I licked the torn flesh and pursued the cunning prey again.

In the dark, I appeared in a brightly lit room. The blinding light was always shining on me, and I angrily searched for the light source and smashed it to pieces. The darkness embraced me again and gave me strength from hell. Someone screamed in despair again. A human was shooting in my direction, but he had no crosshairs at all, and the bullets would only shatter other inconsequential things. Frightened humans wouldn't have imagined that I would go around his back and bite off his neck.

I wandered through pools of bright red blood and came to a room full of plants. The plants all glowed in the dark, their sparkling spores drifting through the air, and I eagerly sucked in the air that made me feel a hundred times more refreshed. I don't know where the plants around me come from, but I always feel like I'm one of them, as if the power in me comes from them.

Suddenly, the stench of humans came through the air. I'm familiar with the smell, and it comes from a corner of the plant. I could hear the sound of trembling breathing coming from there, and even the smell was wrapped in horror. Through the grass, I saw the face of a woman, her pale face looking at me in despair. I leaned down to her, the face was familiar, I knew the human. The primal urge of bloodlust prompted me to move on her, but another force commanded me not to. I hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to leave and find the human I wanted to kill in the first place.

"Don't come here!" When my vague consciousness regained somewhat, I saw a man holding a dagger around a girl's neck. He was being forced backwards by me until he reached a hospital bed.

It was a brightly lit room, and the disturbing light caused a tingle on my skin, but I didn't care about it at all, but like a hungry wolf, hovering left and right in front of this prey, looking for the right moment to rush up and tear him apart. This human being was my prey, and he strangled the girl's neck with one hand, pointed at me with the other, and then put it in front of the girl's neck, and then pointed at another human on the hospital bed.

"Haha, you still understand what I'm saying, don't you?" The human kept talking to me, but I probably knew he was yelling at me, and I didn't quite understand what he meant by those words, "Listen, if you come any closer to me, I'll kill them both!" ”

"Du Yuheng, go quickly!" The girl cried out to me, "Let's go! Zhang's punishment is over! ”

"Shut the fuck!" The man slapped the girl with the hilt of his knife and shouted to a human who appeared behind me at some point, "Hurry! Vaccinate him! ”

When I looked back, the human was holding a syringe, and when he looked at me, he immediately faltered. At this time, I don't plan to bite a human who has long dared not come close to me, and this person in front of me is the focus of my killing. I approached the man step by step, and with each step forward, he tightened the girl who was being held hostage. His constricted pupils were always staring at me, and his trembling hands could barely grip the dagger in his hand.

"Don't come here!"

I could feel the fear of the human beings, and in fact, their panicked breathing was like playing a rousing symphony in my head, which only made me more excited.

"Don't come here!" All that human's attention was on me. But in fact, he didn't expect that the human on the hospital bed sat up. The man looked weak, even breathing, but I could feel that his target was the only one with a weapon and the one he feared the most, just like me.

I took one last step, and the human on the hospital bed was quick-eyed, pounced, and strangled my prey by the neck with an infusion tube, and the girl took the opportunity to break free. The strangled human tried to stab him in the back with a dagger, but the girl twisted his wrist and stuck it right in his own waist.

Seeing this, the human on the hospital bed let go and pulled the girl to the side of the room. And I leaped and put my hands on the shoulders of my prey, and he and I fell to the ground. Sensing that death was near, he struggled desperately, but his neck was close to my mouth, and of course I would not be polite, and I bit it, only to feel the trickle of blood pouring into my throat. My hunger wasn't really strong, but I just wanted to tear my prey apart and enjoy the pleasure that came out of nowhere.

Du ...... Du Yuheng ...... "The two humans hiding in the corner called to me, "You don't have to be like this...... Calm down quickly......"

I didn't feel the urge to tear them apart, but I always felt that they would take away the prey I had worked so hard to catch. I bared my teeth and yelled at them not to come closer, but the girl did not listen to the other human's dissuasion, and still cautiously approached me.

The phrase "I'm Chen Mo......" seems familiar, as if this girl once said the same thing to me, and at the same time she was still approaching me, "Do you remember? ”

Chen ...... Mo ......: "My mouth doesn't have to say the same name to her.

"Chen Mo, be careful!" The humans behind the girl seem to be wary of me, which makes me a little impatient.

"No, Huang Weizheng, I almost let Du Yuheng recover like this, and I can definitely do it this time." The girl approached me insistently, but I didn't feel threatened by her. She's more like ...... My companions?

"Remember? Your name is Du Yuheng, and you are my friend. The girl's eyes were rosy, she didn't care about the blur of flesh on the ground, and me, who could easily bite her to death, "my most important friend......"

Du ...... Yu Heng? ”

"That's right, Du Yuheng." The girl actually laughed, she couldn't believe it, she wasn't afraid of me, unlike other humans, she wasn't afraid of me.

"Du Yuheng?" It's a really familiar name, and it has a special meaning to me!

"Yes, Du Yuheng." The girl boldly touched my face, passing away the blood from my face, "You promised me that you must not leave me......"

"Can't...... Leave you ...... "I...... I remember! That's right! I am Du Yuheng! I promised this girl that I wouldn't leave her! Yes, she's the one I want to protect! Chen ...... Mo? ”

"Ahaha! Du Yuheng? Have you recovered? Chen Mo was almost crying.

Oh my God, it feels like a nightmare...... The memories were fading away with the swelling of my head. My limbs were hot, my whole body was sweating like I had a fever, and the feeling of dizziness combined with my overdrawn body made me sit on the floor.

I touched Chen Mo's face and replied exhaustedly, "Yes, it's me!" Me, I'm fine......"

"Thank goodness!" Chen Mo cried with joy, hugged me tightly, and cried, "You are really crazy. ”

"Yes......" I glanced at Zhang Xing, who had his internal organs dug out next to him, who had lost his breath and was now lying there with nothing more than a broken skin.

Huang Weizheng approached Chen Mo and me, and he stood there looking at the two of us with satisfaction. I looked at him and smiled, "Are you okay?" ”

"Are you alright?" Huang Weizheng deliberately asked me too.

I shook my head. "It's all right...... Would you like to come and give it a hug. I waved to him and motioned for him to come and join me in the hug between Chen Mo and me.

"Oh, no......" Huang Weizheng teased me and said with a smile, "The way you look now, I'm afraid Chen Mo is willing to hug you." ”

Chen Mo didn't push me away as she did in the past, but instead hugged me tighter. This time, I'm not going to talk any more, lest she let go again. I looked around at the mess around me, and all the people who had been hiding had gathered around the isolation ward, and they didn't seem to be worried that I was going to kill people out of control. I believe that there was definitely a catastrophe that could not be looked back on. Huang Weizheng was looking at Zhang Xing's corpse, and he really missed his thoughtful look. I also looked at the disembowelment corpse of Zhang Xing, and the gorgeous suit became his high-end shroud. Thinking about it from another angle, I was definitely a demon just now, but fortunately it was all over......
