Chapter 166: Good News, Bad News
Two days later, Yang Liyong came to the hospital again.
When he came to the hospital, he didn't go to Lu Li, but went to Xu Liwen first. The two stayed in the room for a long time. Only then did he come to the real yĆ n room. He knew that it was one of the easiest places to find Lu Li.
Sure enough, Lu Li is cooperating with Chrissy in the research and development of a new vaccine. He saw Yang Liyong walk into the real room, rolled up his sleeves and handed it to Chrissy, and at the same time turned back and signaled.
"Wait, I'll be right over."
After a while, Chrissy pulled out 500 milliliters of blood and went to work on her own, not caring that there were outsiders here. Lu Li leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words, then lowered his sleeves and walked over.
"Have you arrived with what I want?"
Lu Li sat opposite Yang Liyong, picked up the coffee that had already been cooled and took a sip. Unexpectedly, Yang Liyong coldly threw out a headless sentence.
"I bring good news and bad news."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Li listened to his tone that something was wrong, put down the coffee cup, and cast his gaze on his face. He smiled wryly and sighed.
"That Yang Yong will definitely go into the city to look for Dr. K in three days at the latest."
"So fast?"
Lu Li was stunned, and his brows immediately furrowed. After a moment of silence, he immediately asked, "Is the information true?" ā
Yang Liyong shook his head again and smiled bitterly: "It's not just him." People from other military districts will also go into the city to search for Dr. K's whereabouts within three days. ā
Lu Li's heart sank suddenly. This is uncompromisingly bad news. The worst fears have come true. Without enough alloy to shield the second stage evolutionary's telekinesis, he had already lost his greatest advantage.
In terms of the number of evolutionaries, according to the information provided by Yang Liyong, the seven military regions combined are only more than fifty evolutionaries. But on quality. There are a total of ten second-stage evolutionaries in the seven military regions.
Mental power is formless and insubstantial.
When the Evolver reaches the second stage, the telekinesis is enough to produce lethal damage. This is far from being within the reach of the first stage evolutionaries. If there is only one second-stage evolutionary, it would be better to say. After all, he also mastered the method of telekinesis shock. As long as Qin Hu and the other first-stage evolutionaries gave the right cooperation at the right time, he had the confidence to kill and even capture the other party alive.
However, the other side has ten second-stage evolutionaries.
At this time, Yang Liyong saw that his face was wrong, and hurriedly squeezed out a very reluctant smile and comforted: "There is good news." Evolutionary zombies have taken over the city. ā
Lu Li was again for a while, and subconsciously asked, "Which city?" ā
"All cities in the country."
Yang Liyong smiled bitterly: "I just received the last call from the central government. I was informed by the authorities that Beijing had fallen. The central government is evacuating. They wanted me and my eldest brother to stay in City A, and we must ensure that the last city in the country does not fall into the hands of zombies. At the same time......"
Speaking of this, he moved his gaze to Chrissy, who was doing the work not far away: "At the same time, we must protect Dr. K's safety. ā
He only mentioned Beijing. But Lu Li had already understood what he meant. As the capital, Beijing became a military fortress when disaster struck. From the radio signals he occasionally intercepted, he learned that the three group armies, three garrison divisions, and three armed police mobile divisions of the Beijing Military Region had retreated to the city of Beijing, leaving only a small number of troops to cooperate with local recruits to garrison the various cities.
In addition to these troops, the number of troops defending Beijing still reached 300,000. Another fifty or sixty thousand recruits were recruited from among the survivors. The impregnable city of Beijing has fallen, and other cities, large and small, will naturally not escape the fate of falling.
Lu Li pondered for a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this good news?" ā
Yang Liyong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?" At least for you, it has nothing to do with you whether the cities of the country have fallen or not. However, Yang Yong, these second-stage evolutionaries are a little more threatening to you. ā
Speaking of this, he suddenly sat up straight, and his spirit perked up: "What's more, from another point of view, this is good news for you." ā
"What do you mean?"
"It means that we outsiders have no backup."
He changed his previous frustration and analyzed Lu Li with great interest: "At present, in order to ensure that Dr. K is found, each of our seven military regions has sent about a battalion of troops. Food and water, as well as warm clothing, are not to be mentioned. The city is full of food, and if you look carefully, you can find enough food and other supplies to survive this winter. But the most critical guns and ammunition, we have run out of supplies. In modern warfare, the spelling is a word for money. Whoever can hold out longer will win. You have the right time and place, and you have so many evolutionaries under your hands...... The truth of boiling frogs in warm water, understand? ā
Lu Li didn't speak. After being silent for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at Yang Liyong, and asked quietly: "I understand the truth." But you don't mind if I declare war on you? ā
"That's the second benefit."
Yang Liyong smiled, and returned to his previous immodest behavior. He crossed Erlang's legs and smiled triumphantly: "But this is mainly a great benefit to me." Now there is no contact with the above. My eldest brother and I don't have to deal with those guys. When the time comes, let's meet the inside and outside. Hehe, when the time comes, we will join forces to occupy the ...... of City A."
"Wait."
When Lu Li heard this, he raised his hand to interrupt his YY. He stared into Yang Liyong's eyes, and snorted coldly without the slightest expression: "That's your ambition, not mine." ā
"Ha, you're so humorous......"
When Yang Liyong heard it, he was happy. Immediately, he saw Lu Li's face sink, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then put away his cynical expression, and said with a straight face.
"You're strong and benevolent enough, but you're not out of the way of the little citizens. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. If you voluntarily hand over Dr. K, then find a place to live in a survivor area in a certain city. Then now you can be a beautiful man quietly and live the rest of your life safely. But now ......"
He paused slightly, then said unceremoniously, "Now you can't get out." Either choose a tough stance, occupy the entire city of A, and lead the survivors out of the world. Either choose to hand over Dr. K, continue to be a small citizen, and live the rest of his life in mediocrity. Which one do you choose? ā
With that, he clasped his hands and leaned back on the sofa waiting for Lu Li's answer. At this time, Lu was in a mess, and his heart was very entangled. Since being reborn, his only goal is to find his parents and live this life in peace. It was with the support of this desire that he came here step by step.
But now...... The reality has always been very harsh. To hand over Chrissy, he refused to answer ten thousand. If you don't pay it, the only way out is to choose to be tough and compete with the forces that covet City A. However, in this case, the original desire must be abandoned.
You can't win 'em all.
He knew it in his heart. If the current situation continues, it is only a matter of time before the forces of all sides are defeated. The entire city of A will become its own territory. But there is no such thing as a doppelganger. I took care of this side, but I couldn't take care of that side.
Today, cities across the country have fallen. This just proves that zombies have evolved to a considerable level. They have learned to recharge their batteries, and they have learned to evaluate the strength of both sides. When the time is ripe, they will break out and make trouble, and one move will determine the situation.
With this kind of intelligence, zombies are no longer the corpses that used to be mostly instinctive, and can even be called another intelligent creature.
Having lost the shelter of the city, the survivor is like a woman stripped naked standing in front of a strong man, with little resistance. Wouldn't that be a danger to your parents?
He did not dare to make a decision. He knew that once he made a decision, there was no turning back and he had to go one way down.
Take advantage of the momentum? Or do you want to set off to find your parents?
The room was quiet, and only the slight collision of test tubes from the side of the platform echoed from time to time. Yang Liyong saw that he was unable to make a choice for a long time, and he was very patient on the surface, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.
After waiting for about half an hour, he saw that Lu Li couldn't make a choice, so he had to get up and say goodbye. He left the real room with his front foot, and Chrissy put down the test tube in his hand with his back foot and walked behind Lu Li. She massaged both temples for Lu Li while calmly comforting.
He's right. There are only two paths before us now. ā
"I know. But I can't abandon my parents. Otherwise, even if I occupy City A, what is the point? ā
Lu Li was very distressed. He leaned his head back on the couch and closed his eyes. Chrissy saw it in the eye and walked over to him and sat down. She snuggled up to the landing, and said quietly.
"Hand me over. I won't live long anyway. At least I can help you fulfill your wish now. ā
"Don't say it."
Lu Lihuo opened his eyes and flatly refused: "I will never hand you over to those people." Unless I die, no one will try to snatch you away. ā
Hearing this, Chrissy smiled slyly, raised her head and blinked: "Since you have made up your mind, why are you still so distressed?" ā
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and then groaned thoughtfully. After a while, he was completely relieved, and snorted coldly with a firm face: "Yes, since we can't escape alive or dead, then let's take the initiative." ā
ā¦ā¦
in the park.
Qin Hu is busy on the construction site. It is planned as a future settlement. At this time, more than a dozen power-type evolutionaries on the construction site were in full swing under his leadership, and they were in full swing to build simple board houses.
At this time, Lu Li and Di Yu suddenly appeared outside the construction site. He bowed his head and said a few words to Di Yu, and then beckoned: "Brother Hu, come here, I have something to discuss with you." ā
Qin Hu heard Lu Li's greeting and stopped what he was doing. He said a few words and walked over quickly. He walked up to Lu Li and asked confusedly.
"What's the matter with me?"
Lu Lishen smiled mysteriously, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words. After listening to this, the expression on his face suddenly became very solemn. He looked up and replied in a low voice.
"I need time to make a plan."
"It's okay, anyway, the sooner the better."
Lu Li smiled and continued, "I let Xiaoyu stay here. Once you've got it, let him take you back to the hospital. ā
"Okay, I'll go now."
Qin Hu nodded briskly, and then walked quickly to a hut next to the construction site.
