Mill Institute.

With the end of the "all-staff meeting", the tired old man once again came to the infirmary to find Gong Piqing.

"You sent them on a mission and left me here, didn't you?" Gong Piqing sat on his hospital bed and said without looking back.

The old man was a little surprised, "How do you know?" ”

"You don't need to know, if they were still in the research institute, they wouldn't have come to me by now, now that your meeting is over, and they haven't come yet, it can only mean that they were sent by you to carry out secret missions." Gong Piqing still lowered his head and looked at the quilt on his body and said.

"It's not a secret mission, I just asked them to go out to find supplies, all the supplies in our institute are already scarce now, if we don't let them go out to find them, this life really won't go on." The old man whispered behind him.

"But have you thought about it? One day we will eat up all the stock in this city, and even if we find everything and stock it up, sooner or later the food will spoil and expire, so what are you going to do when that happens? ”

"Command is already trying to figure out how to make homegrown food, and you know, it's a bunch of fastidious tech freaks, in fact, they've long since developed food that fills our stomachs, but they're too perfectionist, and they've been working on taste." The old man explained.

"So, if we are close to a hundred people, can we really only live like rats in the sewers for the rest of our lives?"

The old man was silent.

"You weren't like that before." After a long time, Gong Piqing spoke again.

"I'm here to tell you that I sent Hades and Gaia out to find supplies instead of you, because I also arranged another task for you, can you walk down the ground now?"

Gong Piqing finally raised his head and looked at the old man, "What task?" ”

"According to the situation given by the medical department, the ghost's injury has recovered quickly recently, his brain waves have reached a very active level, from a physiological point of view, he is now fully equipped with the conditions to wake up, but the fact is that he has not woken up for a long time, plus you are also in the recovery period now, I want you to go there for a while, use your recovery influence ability to speed up the ghost's awakening, we are in need of manpower now, and this ability is also unique, only you have such a privilege."

"I'll go over after this bottle of glucose." Gong Piqing's answer was crisp and sharp.

"But before you go, I need to tell you a little bit more."

Gong Piqing thought that the old man was going to leave after he agreed, but he didn't expect the old man to speak again, and he suddenly became puzzled, "What else do you need to tell him when you guard him?" ”

"The ghost may have a certain tendency to be violent after waking up, according to the description of the relevant guards, the ghost has recently said a lot of things that should not appear like a dream, and we preliminarily diagnosed that his injuries were too serious and his brain function was inhibited or damaged to a certain extent, so he had such a phenomenon, although he may not know about these himself, but I still have to remind you." The old man continued.

But his words did not dispel the doubts on Gong Piqing's face, "What did he say?" ”

"He said he was going to kill everyone."

"Everyone?"

"All humanity, and all those in this war."

"Then his mind might not be right." Gong Piqing shrugged, "I hope you don't become a psychopath like me when you wake up." ”

"Other than that, we didn't find anything wrong with the ghost, but it may not be a big deal, maybe the ghost is really dreaming, after all, the dream is not something we can control, maybe it's because he hates this war too much, so he wants to end this war in this way in his dream, plus he may not be very conscious after he just wakes up, so it is necessary for me to report this discovery from the medical department to you, if the ghost is really violent after waking up, you have to be careful, but don't hurt him either. The old man said.

"Okay, understood, I'll go over after this bottle of glucose."

After speaking, Gong Piqing looked up at the medicine bottle above his head, and now the bottle of glucose he injected has bottomed out, even if it is done as he said, it won't take a few more minutes.

"Also, if the ghost wakes up, remember to tell me." With that, the old man turned and left.

"Okay."

……

Ten minutes later, Gong Piqing appeared in front of the door of the intensive care unit.

The door was pushed open, and the huge intensive care ward still looked bleak and bleak, and only one of the four treatment chambers that had been lit was now still lit, and the ghost was lying quietly inside, the bandages on his body had not been removed, making him look like a mummy in a crystal coffin.

The sound of "buzzing" filled the intensive care ward, and Gong Piqing immediately looked at the source of the sound, only to realize that it was a diesel generator; If he remembered correctly, when he woke up, the diesel generator wasn't here, presumably because their energy source here had really run out, so they had to use the diesel generator to keep the medical pod running and keep the ghost alive.

Thinking of this, Gong Piqing sighed, he looked at the motionless mummy in the medical cabin, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of sadness, because he knew that the ghost was injured to save him, according to their description, the ghost crashed into the stone wall summoned by the elemental mage at double speed of sound, it was hard to imagine how the human body would be injured when it hit the stone wall at that speed, but the ghost really survived like this......

He looked at the smoothly beating curves next to the medical chamber and pondered, if one day the ghost woke up and the white bandages were removed, would he ever see the blonde man who always loved to laugh again?

But suddenly, the "Didi" sound emitted by those instruments became urgent, and Gong Piqing raised his head suddenly, and his eyes fell on the display screens with various color curves; At this time, as the sound of those "drops" became more and more urgent, the jumping amplitude of the curves on the display screen was also getting bigger and bigger, he didn't know what these curves meant, but he only knew that all these phenomena all pointed to the only ending, that is, the awakening of the ghost.

But when his eyes fell on the medical cabin again, the white mummy inside remained motionless, as if it was really just a mummy that would never wake up......

----------

Meanwhile, on a street in the middle of the city, the Gaia group.

This is the first time Gaia has taken out that form along the way, and the original complete A4 paper has now been tossed by him to the point of shredding, however, there are only one or two more checkpoints on the form than just now.

"Ahhh One, two, three, four...... How come there are so many that I haven't found! With so many pharmacies, haven't we even found a box of this medicine? He frantically handed the form to the two team members, who leaned over to look at it, shaking their heads helplessly.

This mission has actually exceeded their expectations so far, seeing that they are about to leave the "net elimination range" of the Mill Research Institute, but the materials they have found are only half exposed, and if they go any further, they will arrive at the city hospital, but the city hospital is outside the "net elimination range" of the Mill Research Institute, which means that the number of zombies in the hospital will be very considerable.

The three of them finally stopped at the intersection in front of the city hospital, and the three of them looked at the huge city hospital with great despair in their eyes.

"Captain, the city hospital is not within the scope of the 'net removal', let's make a quick decision, go in and bring out the medicine regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, and let the people in the medical department keep the excess for themselves, do you think it's okay?" One of the team members suggested.

"Yes, Captain, I don't know how many zombies there are in the hospital ahead, it would be too dangerous for us to be so selective there as we are now." The other team member chimed in.

Eventually, Gaia sighed helplessly, "Okay...... After entering, I will help you on guard, you will see where the pharmacy of the hospital is as soon as possible, I will cover you, you must act quickly, we will retreat immediately after taking the things! After Gaia finished speaking, her eyes fell on the outpatient building of the city hospital again.

He knew that the north-south road in front of him was actually the boundary of the "net range" of their Mill Research Institute, and it turned out to be true, although they did encounter a lot of zombies along the way, but the number of zombies on the other side of the road, including the city hospital, was obviously more than any area they had passed through when they came.

But just as the two team members were discussing where to enter the hospital without being noticed by the zombies, Gaia vaguely saw a black dot like something falling from the roof of the inpatient building more than 20 stories high, because the distance was too far and the speed of the thing was too fast, he didn't see what it was, until the black dot landed accurately on the roof of the outpatient building, looking at them like a general with eyes in all directions, he was stunned.

That's actually an infected person with a higher mutation! Although he couldn't see it clearly, he was sure that it must be an infected body with a high-level mutation, because without the blessing of the high-level mutation, how could it fall from such a high place and be fine!

It wasn't until the footsteps in his ears faded away that he came back to his senses, and when he looked ahead again, he found that his two team members had quietly touched the periphery of the city hospital......
