When Lei Jin opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the river beach, but Zhang Shisheng sat leisurely on the side and looked at him.

He felt like he was falling apart, and no place was whole.

Exhausted all his strength, he moved his fingers to make sure he was still alive.

At this time, I unconsciously looked at the bracelet on my left hand again, and it showed: 25:58:36.

The bracelet is quite sturdy, and it didn't break after climbing through the cave and falling down the waterfall.

Judging by the heat of the sun shining on my body, it is almost noon.

It was completely different from the cold last night, the warm sun was even more lazy, if it weren't for the last resort, Lei Jin didn't want to move at all when he was lying on his stomach like this.

But his feet were still in the cold water, and his body was wet.

Propping himself up, he climbed to a big rock on the side, turned over, and lay on his back on the big rock.

The blue sky, cloudless, and the hot direct sunlight came in, and I couldn't help but stretch out my hand to block it.

Zhang Shisheng didn't seem to care, looking at the sky with a relaxed expression.

"Did you save me?" Lei Jin asked weakly.

"No, you crawled out of the lake by yourself, and I'm just sitting here with you." Zhang Shisheng didn't feel guilty at all, as if everything was taken for granted.

"Where did you go last night? I won't see you when I wake up in the morning. The anger that Lei Jin had accumulated in his heart fermented a little.

"After you fell asleep last night, there has been a strange sound in the depths of the cave, and I was curious, so I followed the sound and came here." Zhang Shisheng replied lightly.

"Did you find that voice?"

"No, it was already dawn when we got here. The rising sun shone on the lake, the whole lake shimmered with golden light, sparkling, and waterfalls flowed down, and the forest seemed to come to life, and the birds sang in unison. ”

Lei Jin smiled bitterly, he didn't know if he should continue to be angry, and began to envy Zhang Shisheng's free and easy character.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry. Lei Jin asked helplessly.

Zhang Shisheng raised his finger and pointed to the apple trees by the lake, November is the season when apples are ripe, and the apples exude a ripe aroma and glow with a ruddy luster.

"If you still want to go into the water, you can go down and catch a few fish." Zhang Shisheng pointed to the fat and robust fish in the lake.

"Can't you help me get it?"

"I can't help you, it's up to you." Zhang Shisheng is still looking up at the sky leisurely.

Lei lay down for a while, his stomach was really hungry and couldn't stand it, and he saw that Zhang Shisheng didn't mean to help at all, so he could only get up from the stones.

The sun had dried all the clothes on his body, and his body was much more comfortable, although there were still bursts of soreness from the wounds all over his body.

The branches of the apple trees by the lake were full of red apples, and they were so heavy that they could hardly hold on.

I picked one casually, wiped it with my hand, put it in my mouth and took a bite, and a stream of sweet juice spread in my mouth.

Ray ate an apple in two bites, and after eating two more in a row, he felt that his stomach was full.

"Would you like to have one too, this apple is very tasty."

"No, I'm not hungry, you can pick a few and take them with you, and we'll walk through the forest in the afternoon to the parking spot."

"You still have a car?" Lei Jin was a little overjoyed, which was really a surprise.

"Well, it was found in a nearby hunting ground, a Changan CS75Plus, I don't know who abandoned it there."

"Great, let's hurry up!" It was as if he had suddenly seen the light of day.

He didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do, but now he just wanted to escape from this eerie manor.

If possible, he still wants to go back to his home in Hedong, and although there is little hope, he is convinced that his parents are still alive, just like him.

From Hexi to Hedong, it is much more convenient to drive.

Zhang Shisheng got up from the ground, patted the dust on his buttocks, and pointed in the direction of the forest, signaling Lei to follow him.

The forest is far more impassable than it seems, with branches and leaves that block the sun.

Luckily, it's already November, and most of the trees are starting to lose their leaves, and sunlight can still be cast through these cracks.

Zhang Shisheng didn't seem to be very familiar with this forest, and walked around for a while, a little disoriented, and needed to look up at the direction of the sun from time to time.

As I walked, I came to a big banyan tree, with a canopy that covered the sky and the sun, and the tentacle-like vines looked almost the same.

I can't tell if I've gotten lost and come back, or if I've met a new one.

Zhang Shisheng seemed to be a little unsure, looking up for the position of the sun, so as to judge our position.

Suddenly, a zombie flashed out from behind the tree and rushed towards Zhang Shisheng!

The zombie was still wearing the ranger's red horse jacket, but it was covered in dirt and dirt.

The zombie's face had begun to fester, dripping with black mucus, and was full of wounds, and it looked like it had been infected for a while.

He was supposed to be a forest ranger when he was alive, but he didn't know how he got infected in a deserted forest.

It may have something to do with that manor!

Seeing that the zombies were about to pounce on Zhang Shisheng, Zhang Shisheng's reaction was unexpectedly fast, and he dodged and avoided the zombies' surprise attack.

Zhang Shisheng didn't know where to pull out a short knife, and while avoiding the zombie attack, he swung the knife and slashed at the zombie.

The zombie pounced out, using too much force, and pounced directly from Zhang Shisheng's side.

Zhang Shisheng swung a knife and slashed directly at the zombie's back, and the black and viscous liquid slowly poured out from the wound.

After the zombie was slashed by the short knife, it did not fall to the ground, but was slashed by the power of the short knife, and rushed forward with a step.

He stumbled and quickly stood still.

Before Zhang Shisheng could continue to attack, the zombie had already turned around and faced Zhang Shisheng.

Zhang Shisheng didn't dare to stop for the slightest, and without waiting for the zombie to pounce for the second time, he quickly retracted his knife and retreated with strength.

But he didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet, where the hanging vines of the banyan tree were tangled with an unknown pile of dead grass on the ground.

Grasses that have begun to wither are tougher because their stems and leaves are dehydrated.

Zhang Shisheng stepped on these vines with one foot, and was immediately entangled, and when he tried to pull it out again, he was tripped and fell to the ground.

He shook his left foot hard, trying to break free from the vine, but he didn't expect to wrap it tighter and tighter.

The short knife in his hand slashed at Fujiman a few times, but only a small part of it was cut.

In a hurry, he couldn't break free from the vine man for a while.

The zombie had already turned around at this time, staring at Zhang Shisheng who was struggling on the ground with dead fish-like eyes.

He staggered two steps forward and pounced on Zhang Shisheng again.

Zhang Shisheng could only kick the ground hard with his right foot, and his whole body rolled out to the left, avoiding another bite from the zombie, but the vine man on his left foot was more tightly entangled.

Ray was already scared silly when he was close to the side!

The hideous and ferocious appearance of the zombie completely frightened him, and at this time, there was a sharp pain in his head.

Another strange image flashed through my mind.

This is a conference room, the meeting room is richly decorated, very magnificent, full of furniture and decoration are baroque luxury.

The roof is intricately carved and in the center is an ornate crystal chandelier that fills the room with a gorgeous light that reflects the light.

Three walls are hung with beautiful oil paintings, all of which look expensive, and the only remaining wall is a huge LCD screen.

This is a transparent LCD screen, when the screen is turned off, its presence is not felt at all, and it does not contradict the decoration of the whole room.

In the center is a large conference table, which can accommodate more than 20 people at the same time.

Most of the seats were already occupied, and the main seat was still empty.

Before the meeting began, everyone present was quiet, waiting quietly, no one spoke, as if waiting for important people to arrive.

After a while, the door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside in.

In front was a young man in a suit, who pushed open the door and stood sideways to hold the door.

Followed by a pair of middle-aged men with noble temperaments, whom Lei Jinping recognized as the president and wife of the Mino Group.

Behind the two of them were a few older people whose hair had begun to turn gray, but they were all in good spirits, their faces were ruddy, and their expressions were full of confidence.

After a few people sat down, the first person to stand up and speak was the director, the director of the Zhanggu Research Institute, Wang Jianguo.

Deputy Director Zhang Wei was also in the conference room, sitting beside Director Wang.

Wang Jianguo seems to have just made an opening remark, and he finished it quickly.

Then Zhang Wei got up and said a few words, and then walked to the edge of the LCD screen.

The video began to play on the LCD screen, and Zhang Wei explained on the side as the video played.

The content of the video does look very difficult to understand, and it opens with a 3D modeled DNA double helix structure rotating in the frame.

Zhang Wei pointed to one of the structures and explained.

Then a hand appears in the picture, extracting a fragment from the double helix structure, and then inserting a new fragment, and the whole structure is spliced back together.

Then there was a series of operations in the picture, Zhang Wei stood on the side, explaining each operation in detail.

After a series of 3D virtual animations, the video screen moves to the real scene in the laboratory.

A mouse appears in the center of the frame, lying in a transparent glass box, unmoving, untouched by the unknown whether it is anesthetized or dead.

A syringe then enters the screen and injects the agent into the mice.

At this time, Zhang Wei just stood quietly on the side and did not give any explanation.

Everyone in the room held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen, lest they miss something.

Zhang Wei quietly gestured to the staff next to him, and the screen began to play at 5 times the speed.

After a few minutes, Zhang Wei made another gesture, and the video returned to normal playback.

At this time, the hind legs of the mouse in the picture kicked and began to move.

Next comes the front legs.

Then he nimbly rolled over from the ground and stood up.

After standing in place for a moment, he began to walk around, probing his head around the glass box.

The conference room suddenly became lively, everyone stood up from their seats, applauded desperately, and everyone seemed very excited.

Mai Zeming, president of Mino Group, stepped forward and held Zhang Wei's hand tightly. Jiang Yitong, the president's wife on the side, seemed to be quietly wiping away tears.
