"First question, when I left, I left you a few things, do you still keep them?" Zheng Zhilan asked.

The "thing" she refers to is mainly the key.

Zheng Jieming of course knew that what she was talking about was this thing, and when he used the amusement park as a base, the first thing he did was to return to his nearby home and try to retrieve the key, but unfortunately, when he went, the key was gone.

He didn't know that it was his sister who took it.

"I've picked it up, and it's gone." Zheng Jieming replied truthfully.

"yes, definitely not, counting on you, we won't be able to get in. So, the second question, it is said that you got a tube of reagents from a foreigner, right? Is the tube still there? ”

Her second question surprised Zheng Jieming.

"What did you say?? How do you know?? Zheng Jieming's head was stunned all of a sudden.

He understood that the reagent she was referring to was the reason for Lucien's attack on him.

He had always carried the reagent with him, and he didn't know what it did, but it was still in the dormitory building of the junior college.

"Huh...... Poor brother, sure enough, still doesn't know anything. ”

"That's right, I really don't know anything, just a civilian, a victim, then you tell me the truth you know!!" Zheng Jieming replied that he didn't want his sister to hide from him.

"You come with me."

Zheng Jieming followed her, in the empty corridor, the sensor lights were lit up one by one, and the deeper she went, the terrain began to slowly slope.

"You must be wondering what this place is. This is actually the earliest 'special' biochemical research institute in Zhongzhou. Zheng Zhilan explained to Zheng Jieming as she walked, "This is an extremely secret research institute, and its establishment was roughly around the end of the Sino-Youyou armed conflict. ”

Zheng Jieming listened while looking around, and on both sides of this corridor, there was occasionally a door.

"What's behind these doors?"

Zheng Zhilan stopped, "Oh? Can you open the door and see? ”

Zheng Jieming looked at Zheng Zhilan, walked to the side of a door, pushed open the door, and saw that there were "filing cabinets" one by one.

But when he looked at it again, what kind of filing cabinet was it?? It's simply an iron cabinet for corpses in the morgue!

"Will you take a look?"

Zheng Jieming looked back at his sister, stepped forward, and pulled open a cabinet.

Inside, it contained a frozen corpse with its hands folded on its abdomen.

"Special ...... Institute of Biochemistry?? Zheng Jieming suddenly realized some extremely bad information.

Could it be that the zombie virus originated here??

At this moment, the corpse in the morgue suddenly moved its fingers slightly.

Zheng Zhilan stepped forward and pushed the cabinet back, "Don't expose these corpses outside for too long, the temperature is high, and they will be able to 'come back to life'." ”

"You mean, the origin of the zombies is here???" Zheng Jieming turned his head and asked Zheng Zhilan.

"Of course not! You overestimate our country's scientific and technological strength and financial capabilities. Zheng Zhilan smiled, "This kind of project is not something that Zhongzhou can afford, whether it looks at talents, technology, or funding." ”

"And what is this place??" Zheng Jieming asked eagerly, "Could it be that there has been a zombie virus for a long time, and the government has long been secretly conducting research or ...... Has it been developed? ”

"At first, this virus was only found in a certain border area of Northern Province, and the government seemed to think that it was some kind of secret biological and chemical weapon from a foreign country, but there was no source that could be claimed, and Zhongzhou was unwilling to make this news public--that would have a huge adverse impact on the overall order of Zhongzhou, and it was very likely that as soon as it was announced, Zhongzhou would be chaotic. Therefore, at that time, the government secretly brought the 'sick people' back for treatment and research -- but it was not here at that time, but in the northern province for treatment and research on the spot. In fact, it is true that some people have been 'cured', and many more are still incurable, and eventually move to this side, lying in these cabinets that you see. Zheng Zhilan patted the morgue.

"What are you kidding?? These corpses have been here for so long?? Zheng Jieming asked in surprise.

"Ten years or so." Zheng Zhilan smiled, "I don't know how long they can survive, but this is a low temperature environment, and they may die faster in a normal temperature environment." Seems like this is some kind of immortality, right? ”

Zheng Jieming only felt extremely heavy in his heart.

"Let's keep going inside." Zheng Zhilan walked out of the room, took Zheng Jieming and continued to walk down the corridor to the front of another elevator.

She called the elevator, and when she entered, she pressed a few seemingly unrelated floors before the elevator started.

When the elevator doors reopened, another small hall appeared in front of them.

"After that, Youguo began to provoke and fought a Sino-Youzhou war with Zhongzhou -- in fact, from the perspective of international law, the two countries did not declare war, but only a local armed conflict, which is not a 'war' in the legal sense. That time, that was when our dad went to war. Zheng Zhilan continued to explain the ins and outs to Zheng Jieming, "The reason for the dispute between the two countries has always been the island dispute, but in fact, the main battlefield is on the land border, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"Of course I think it's strange, but it's not incomprehensible that there is no definite law." Zheng Jieming said.

"Hehe, simple." Zheng Zhilan smiled, "That's not the case at all. In fact, neither country can say the real cause of the war -- the battlefield actually revolves around the border of the northern province where the virus was first discovered. ”

Zheng Zhilan said, "In other words, according to my analysis, Youguo is not fighting for the island at all, but trying to find key 'information' from that area." ”

"Wait a minute, don't you think it's strange? This is our sovereign territory, what interests does it have or risk-averse impulses to go to war with us for this?? Zheng Jieming thinks this matter is illogical.

Zheng Zhilan smiled, "Of course, there are benefits and risk aversion, and there are probably a lot of political benefits and joint investment projects promised by the Eagle Country to Youguo back then, right?" The five constants almost became the six constants. It was only later that the internal economic turmoil of the Eagle Country was stopped. ”

"You mean, the driving force behind the Sino-Youyou War is the Eagle Country?" Zheng Jieming asked.

"Otherwise, where do you think Youguo, who had extracted his teeth at that time, has the confidence to start a war with us?" Zheng Zhilan said, "If it weren't for the support of the Eagle Country, how could they have reorganized the 'Army' instead of the so-called Self-Defense Force??" ”

．．．．．．

Zheng Jieming thought for a while and asked Zheng Zhilan, "So...... Have you stayed here since you disappeared and served here? ”

Zheng Zhilan looked at Zheng Jieming, "Not so accurate, I did stay here for a while, but I didn't serve here, and I was also passively stationed." Soon after the Sino-Youzhou War, there was a round of joint venture movement of state-owned assets in Zhongzhou -- indiscriminate joint venture, and the consequences were almost like those of the bear country in those years. As a result, the institute was soon involved in the joint research and development work of an eagle country biochemical research company called SJS - and I was the plenipotentiary representative of that company in Zhongzhou, which gave me access to this research institute and the opportunity to learn about everything that happened in it. ”

When Zheng Zhilan said this, she suddenly felt dizzy without warning and fell to the ground.

"Sister? What happened to you?! Zheng Jieming hurriedly stepped forward, helped her up, and leaned against the wall.

"Hehe......" Zheng Zhilan had a nosebleed coming out of her left nostril, "It's nothing, the drug addiction has attacked." I have shallow blood vessels, and sometimes I get dizzy and nosebleeds when I get addicted to drugs. ”

Her voice trembled a little, and she took out a packet of powder from her bosom and sucked it into her body hard.

"Sometimes I want to die. The next information you won't want to know. She trembled, and it took a while for her to finally come to her senses.

Zheng Jieming looked at the bag of powder and knew that she was deeply addicted to drugs, but he didn't know how to help her.

"Alright, let's move on, it's almost there." Zheng Zhilan insisted on standing up, but her steps were obviously beginning to be unsteady, "I know everything about this research institute, I thought I had already understood the ins and outs of everything, I thought that the source of everything was just a strange disease in that village." But in the last month, I realized that I had thought in the wrong direction at all -- that the village was not the source. ”

She walked to the end of the hallway, pushed open the door of a room, and when the two entered, they found that there was another metal door in the small room.

At this time, Zheng Zhilan took out the golden key from his arms.

"The key is with you??" Zheng Jieming asked in surprise.

"Counting on you? It's been yellow for a long time. Zheng Zhilan squinted at Zheng Jieming.

"I've been here for a long time, and the only thing I can't overcome is this door, but then after the zombie crisis broke out, I suddenly felt inexplicably that the key left to me by my mother was probably the key to open this door."

"Mom?? How could this be related to her?? Is she still alive? Does your disappearance have anything to do with her? When Zheng Jieming heard that his mother was involved, he became more and more puzzled.

"She? Of course alive, I'm afraid it's still very chic. Zheng Zhilan said, "However, it seems that this selfish woman has harmed our father." ”

"What do you say?! What does that mean exactly?? Zheng Jieming's anxious teeth smoked and his throat was dry.

．．．．．．

Zheng Zhilan paused for a few seconds and slowly said a sentence.

"Dad is still alive."
