Chapter 375: Dead Silence

Sometimes a certain group is too quiet, but it is a little abnormal, and when I happen to be free, I walk up to a table of wounded people and ask:

"There are no zombies around here, do you want to stay?"

"Yes, we have to wait for Director Wang." A wounded man with a weak right hand replied that his right sleeve was soaked with blood, which showed that he had been injured in the scuffle.

"Wang Yan?" I asked casually.

"Wang Jiaojiao." The other replied.

I was surprised in my heart, but I didn't show it, I nodded casually, I didn't expect Wang Jiaojiao to be the director.

However, she is a Class B spiritual powerhouse, and it is normal to be reused by Qiu Dehai, but the wounded said that they would wait for her, not Wang Yanyi, so I was a little confused.

Whether it was Dr. Lin instigating a monster riot in the scientific research center, or zombies besieging Taiwan Island, at a critical moment, Wang Jiaojiao seemed to have done nothing but save Qiao Tang.

I'm afraid that even she herself was rescued by Wang Yan from the mouth of the big white maggot, and then Wang Yan wanted to take someone to escape, but she just wanted to share the plane with Qiao Tang.

Of course, there is no trust in this world for no reason, such an unobtrusive director can win the hearts of the people, and even their trust in her exceeds that of Qiu Dehai, which means that she must have done something similar to saving the earth before.

So human beings are multifaceted... I sighed secretly and turned my head to look at Qiu Dehai, who was drunk and was just a chatter, holding the wine bottle and talking to himself for a long time.

The tone became more and more depressed, and when it came to the sad place, he actually covered his eyes and howled, but he only heard crying and did not see tears, I wonder if Dr. Lin also destroyed his tear ducts when he gouged out his eyeballs.

Qiu Dehai cried and told him a sad fact, even if he could go to Jingzhen to find his cronies, it would take seven days to half a month for them to return to Taiwan Island, Qiu Peiyi didn't eat or drink on the time shuttle side, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for so long.

Qiu Dehai is very good at selling miserably, but unfortunately the people in the restaurant are unmoved, only Lao Qiao shows a look of embarrassment.

Old Joe said that he also thought of his daughter, he never mentioned his family to me, and I knew that on the day of the disaster, he was kidnapped by a group of people and taken to China, and he has been doing research ever since.

In fact, that day was the second birthday of his little grandson, and his daughter and son-in-law took his little grandson to the grandparents' house in the countryside for a birthday party.

There may have been survivors at first, but over time, the scarcity of food and water is just as terrible as the virus.

The corners of Old Joe's eyes were moist, and his tone was full of self-reproach, he said that the most terrible thing in the world was that he knew that his loved ones were in danger, but he couldn't do anything about it.

I knew that everything was the effect of alcohol, which pulled in the distance between Old Joe and Qiu Dehai, and the two sat side by side, talking about work from home.

Two old men with big tongues discussing medical knowledge, one studying genes and the other studying brains, and it didn't take much effort for them to find many common languages.

For example, genetic repair techniques are used to treat damaged brain cells.

The wounded had eaten and inspected the villa, there were no zombies here, there were no mutated animals, although their wounds had healed, their bodies had not yet recovered, and they needed to rest.

The wounded were concentrated in three villas, where huddles were more important than comfort, and they left guards on the balconies of each villa.

Old Joe and Qiu Dehai fell asleep on the table, and Tom took Teng Rui to inspect the yard.

Qiao Tang was standing alone in front of the window of the restaurant, and I walked over to talk to him.

He stared out the window at a pond with a white water lily blooming in the middle.

"What are your plans?" I asked straight to the point.

"Find my father." His tone was unwavering.

"Dr. Joe is still alive?" I was a little surprised.

"No, it's his body."

"You want to go back to your hometown cemetery?"

"No, I suddenly remembered something."

"Oh? What's up? ”

"After my father fell to his death, someone came to me with a document saying that he had signed a body donation agreement before he died, and that his body would be used for medical research."

Qiao Tang's gaze did not leave the pond, he continued: "Later, I checked, my father did not sign this agreement, and I only learned later that body donation requires the signature of the immediate family, and if the family does not agree, they have no right to take the body. At the time, I thought it was the Origin Group who had taken my father's body. ”

Qiao Tang sighed as if he was nothing, he should be very remorseful, but he was just a high school student at the time, and he suddenly lost his only relative, how could he think so thoughtfully.

But Qiu Dehai said that the Origin Group terminated all actions against Dr. Qiao after his death.

So who was the one who stole Dr. Joe's body? The point is, what use do they want his body?

Considering the motive, I couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What do you suspect Dr. Joe has done to himself?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to find the real culprit."

I speculated, "Maybe Dr. Joe is keeping the butterfly's secret...... Suicidal. ”

"He bought two air tickets and put money in a foreign bank card, and he was packing his luggage when it happened, and I was sleeping, and the police said he took a phone call, and the call lasted only 10 seconds, and then went to the roof."

In this way, Dr. Qiao originally wanted to take Qiao Tang abroad, but someone called him to the top of the building, which caused an accident, because no one would commit suicide while packing their luggage.

The police defined Dr. Qiao's death as accidental because they did not find a second person's footprints on the roof, Qiao said.

There was a rain during the day, and it stopped in the evening, and Dr. Qiao fell at half past one in the morning, and if there was a second person on the roof at that time, he would have left footprints.

According to the marks left by Dr. Qiao, the police judged that he was standing with his back to the edge of the roof, then his heel slipped, his body fell backwards, and he fell off the edge of the roof, which is not a typical suicidal position.

Unfortunately, no one cared anymore why Dr. Joe was facing away from the edge of the rooftop, didn't such a posture mean that there might be another person in front of him?

But people would rather believe that Dr. Qiao accidentally fell to his death when he went to the rooftop to breathe because his career was not going well, rather than believe that there was a murderer who could not find a trace.

Only Qiao Tang firmly believed that his father was murdered, and after so many years, he was still looking for the murderer, even if the end of the world broke out and zombies were rampant, it didn't make him dispel this idea.

Searching for the truth about the real culprit and his father's death, as a son of man, he has nothing to blame for doing all this.

But I was concerned about something else, and I asked, "Have you ever thought about continuing to study parasitic butterflies?" ”

If the parasitic butterfly could replicate, there might be a lot of people who would be willing to use it to be immune to the zombie virus, and they might not care about multiple patterns or a little living creature on their body.

"I've tried extracting it, injecting different subjects, and they're all dead."

I was speechless for a while, when Teng Rui came from the parking lot, stood in front of the window and knocked on the glass, I opened the window and saw him muttering a cigarette in his mouth.

"Haven't adjusted to your new identity yet?" I asked jokingly, just like Bai Junyang drinking, Teng Rui as a new zombie, tobacco can only be regarded as a placebo for him.

"Keep some habits and be human." Teng Rui threw away the cigarette butt, looked at the pond not far away, and said, "This place is not normal. ”

"yes, dead silence." Cities have been deserted for nearly a year, and in our experience, most cities without people and corpses are animal paradises.

"There are three cars parked over there." Teng Rui pointed to the parking lot, "The gate is locked from the inside. ”

He didn't finish his sentence, but I already knew what he was going to say, when the disaster broke out, people came in and no one went out, the wounded had checked all the villas, and they found no one or body.

"Tom and I just checked around the fence and there was no damage." Teng Rui continued.

Well, it's detective time again, and I quickly list the clues I already know, the gate is locked, the fence is intact, and there is no one inside.

Now the question is, where are the people who once came in hiding?

Where's their body, perhaps?

"Maybe there's a basement in this place, don't worry, there's no zombies and mutants." I comforted him on the lips, but in my heart I was alert, it was not a good thing that someone disappeared inexplicably.

"That's what we should be worried about, this place is a suburb, there is food in the kitchen, if I were a mutant beast, I would definitely find a way to get over those walls." Although Teng Rui is not very old, he has experienced a lot of things, and it is obvious that he is not so easy to be appeased.

Past experience has taught us that mutants like to use human buildings as nests, starting in the suburbs and slowly moving into abandoned cities.

I nodded in agreement, if I were a mutant beast, I would choose to make a nest here.

Large carnivorous mutants may not care about food in the kitchen, but small omnivorous mutants certainly don't miss out on food that reaches their mouths.

When the wounded went to the kitchen to look for food, they found damp rice and white flour, as well as a pile of rotten meat and other spoiled food.

This is simply unthinkable a year after the end of the world, and any unusual phenomenon deserves our attention.

I looked at the dark sky and said to Teng Rui: "You tell Tom to come back, I will keep vigil with Gu Yu tonight, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

“OK。” Rui walked to the parking lot, "Tom was checking the cars, and I told him not to waste his efforts, even if the parts weren't broken, the battery wouldn't work." ”

Bang Bang –

As soon as Teng Rui's words fell, two gunshots rang out in the direction of the parking lot, Teng Rui hurriedly ran over, and I quickly jumped out of the window to follow.

Tom walked over with a gun, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, there's a snake in the trunk." ”

"You shot at the snake?" Teng Rui was surprised.

"It's huge, twice as big as the Black Mamba." Tom gestured, as if emphasizing that it was not a shame to shoot twice at such a large snake.

"How did it get in? I checked the three cars, and the trunks were locked. Teng Rui frowned.

"The back seat of the car, the chassis, I don't know, I didn't look closely, anyway, it's dead." Tom said indifferently.

"Look, I'll just say this place is weird." Teng Rui looked at me.

"Okay, let's not come to explore the mystery and solve the mystery, go back to the restaurant, don't come out."

The hiccups were quickly put behind me, and in the evening Gu Yu and Bai Junyang returned, bringing back a few maps, compasses, and outdoor gear.

They must have walked back to the city center on foot, ransacked an outdoor shop, and a bike shop.
