Chapter 269: Voluntarily Become Food

"Talk? Who is Dr. Lam? Du Ze's expression was obviously a little impatient.

Lu Sheng was not far away, and saw Du Ze raise the lantern in his hand and look at a few survivors.

It seems that Du Ze's goal is also Dr. Lin Wanshan, and completing the task and getting rewards is simply a pretense, and the purpose is to find a virus expert.

The survivors of the Qingshan base are not stupid, and after glancing at each other, the leading man said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Dr. Lin's identity is special, we can't just hand people over to you." ”

"Don't get me wrong, we'll take you all away." Du Ze was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that his attitude was too hasty, which aroused the vigilance of these people.

The man in the lead had a cautious expression, "We won't say anything until we reach a safe place." ”

Du Ze frowned, and the attitudes of the two sides became deadlocked.

The remaining survivors of the Qingshan base were very united, and seeing that Du Ze's goal was not simple, the few people who were happily waiting for rescue just now were instantly silent.

Seven or eight people tacitly shrunk into a small circle, vigilantly looking at the group of people at the deep space base.

If Du Ze dares to be dishonest, he will die together.

"Okay, then let's go to the deep space base first, and you can rest and recuperate." Du Ze squeezed out a smirk, and then changed his words, "Where are the materials and equipment for the research of the zombie virus in the Qingshan base?" We don't have to come back when we leave here, don't let things go to waste. ”

The survivors hesitated, and finally got together to discuss for a few minutes, and then proposed a middle-aged man named Song Ming.

They were well aware of the actual purpose of the rescue, and decided to trade their valuable research data for a chance to survive.

Song Ming's body was relatively healthy among several people, he got up and opened the door with difficulty, pointed to the stairs facing him and said, "The research materials are all in the laboratory on the fifth floor, but the upstairs has been completely occupied by mutant zombies. ”

With so many people pouring in at once, the air in the safe house quickly thinned, and the small air window could no longer meet the breathing needs of dozens of people.

Soon everyone felt a burst of breathlessness, and the oxygen level in the air had dropped to uncomfortable levels.

Sun Lu's face turned slightly pale, and he was dizzy from the foul smelling air, "Let's talk about the rest later, let's get out of here first." ”

Du Ze took the opportunity to give his subordinates a look, "You have worked hard for so long, we will help you get the things, you get in the car first." ”

After saying that, a few of his men came uninvited to help the survivors pack their luggage.

"Don't move!" When a few people touched the bulging backpack in the corner, Song Ming stretched out his hand to stop it with a nervous expression.

But his movements were still a step slower, and several of Du Ze's subordinates had already put their hands on their backpacks.

In a hurry, Song Mingfei rushed over and snatched the rucksack from Du Ze's men.

Crash.

His movements were too big, the soles of his feet lost their center of gravity at once, and even the bag fell to the ground at once, the things in the backpack were scattered to the ground, and a round thing rolled to Lu Sheng's feet.

After a brief silence, there was an uproar in the safe house.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, staring at the gray-white thing coming out of his toes.

What rolled out of Song Ming's backpack turned out to be five human skulls!

Xu Yi squatted down, picked up the skull from Lu Sheng's feet and looked at it, "It's all fresh bones, and the meat on the bones is very clean, as if it has been boiled in water." ”

The faces of the others present turned pale when they listened, and a few of them even retched uncontrollably.

Lu Sheng and the others glanced at each other with subtle expressions.

No wonder there are no cans and packaging bags in the household garbage, it turns out that the rations that helped these survivors survive a month are not canned food at all, but people, living people!

Song Ming lay on the ground, panting with a hideous expression, and then got up from the ground with a bone, picked up the skull from the ground in a rage and quickly stuffed it back into the rucksack.

"It's ...... What's going on!? You cannibalism?! Liu Peng's face turned blue with fright, and he pointed to the backpack in Song Ming's hand and asked tremblingly.

Song Ming was silent, carefully sorted out the backpack, and hugged it tightly in his arms.

Seeing that he had not responded, the two groups of people who had originally planned to leave fell into a silent stalemate again.

Sun Lu shook a few people with a flashlight, "The basis of everyone's cooperation is mutual honesty, and it is difficult for us to leave with you at ease if you are secretive." What if you have any thoughts on killing our people along the way? ”

Finally, it was the younger woman among the survivors who propped herself up and spoke slowly, "We didn't kill anyone, these skulls are our companions." ”

Everyone present was in an uproar, and the atmosphere in the crowd instantly became terrifying.

She choked up, "They all volunteered to be food. ”

Zhang Xiaojuan was so shocked by these words that her scalp was numb, and she couldn't help but ask, "Who wants to die if they can live?" Even if my sister is a liar, she can find a similar reason? ”

"When we took refuge in the safe house, we found that all the food and water that had been stored here had been taken. Fifteen of us hid in, and we only had enough food to last for three days. ”

The young woman recounted intermittently, her voice choked several times, "At first we were expecting rescue, with only daily intake of life-sustaining food. But five days later, there was still no news. Seeing that everyone was going to starve to death, someone proposed to draw lots, and the person who drew the short lot cut off a piece of meat from his body for everyone to eat. ”

Her voice was small, but everyone present was quickly infected by her emotions and fell into a depressed atmosphere.

"The first person to win the lottery was the director of the institute, and he was able to talk and laugh with us happily at first, but his body quickly weakened after the wound became infected. None of us have healing abilities, and we don't dare leave the safe house to find medicine. ”

"On the third day of infection, the director took the initiative to ask us to give him a good time, one less person can not only save a little food, but also use his meat to feed the rest of the people for a while."

"In order to keep other people alive and preserve the hard-won research results, everyone who wins the lottery voluntarily becomes food."

Song Ming's eyes were red, and he hugged the backpack tightly, "We promised these colleagues that when they were saved, we would take their bones out of the safe house and find a place with a good scenery to bury them." ”

His voice fell, and a low sobbing voice was heard among the remaining survivors.

Lu Sheng's gaze moved to Song Ming.

He was wearing a pair of dirty dark green nylon pants, and the storehouse on his right leg was obviously empty, and there was a dry dark mark on his thigh. It seems that the latest winner is Song Ming, and his right leg has been cut off a piece of meat, so he just fell.

Dr. Lin's research results are of great significance, and may be able to break the pattern of the entire end times. These brave people willingly gave their lives for the hope of mankind to perpetuate the flame of hope.

"Now is not the time to cry, and their sacrifice is worth it when they leave here."

Lu Sheng took out a few bottles of crystal nucleus nutrient solution from the space and threw them to Song Ming and a few people.

Eating human flesh has a certain probability of contracting prions, which have a fatal blow to the central nervous system. At present, there is no condition to test these people, so they can only temporarily use nutrient solutions to help them strengthen their immunity, hoping that these can last until the deep space base for the next step of examination.

The group walked out of the safe house in silence, and Du Ze arranged for someone to send Song Ming and several other survivors to the car, leaving only the young woman who had just spoken as a guide.

The young woman's name was Zhao Fan, and after drinking the nutrient solution, her spirits were a little better, and she pulled the corners of her lips at Lu Sheng with difficulty, and then automatically followed beside her.

There was silence in the hallway, and everyone walked up the long escalator, each step cautious.

The small space is always stressful, and the unusual silence in the environment brings the tension to a climax.

Everyone subconsciously slowed down their breathing and carefully tensed their nerves.

Suddenly, a rustling sound of friction passed through everyone's ears, causing everyone's hairs to stand on end in an instant.

Sun Lu leaned sideways against the wall and listened for a while, with a strange expression, "There seems to be something inside the wall, and there is a sound of scratching all the time." ”

The others did not dare to be careless and immediately raised their vigilance.

"On it!" Shi Nian suddenly spoke.

In the next second, there was a violent slapping sound from the central air conditioning vent on the wall, and as the air conditioning vent fell, a black shadow swished out.

An abstract-looking monster.

The limbs were long, the torso was bulging, and a head the size of a basin was on top of a short and thick neck. The facial features have been blurred into a ball of flesh, and only a bloody mouth hangs on the face.

"It's a new type of zombie that mutated after being killed by radiation!" Sun Lu reminded sharply, and the big fireball in his hand had been unceremoniously beckoned.

A huge fireball burst into the hallway as if it were daylight, and the blazing heat instantly rolled up a surging heat wave.

But the new zombie moved amazingly fast, using its slender limbs to climb the wall as quickly as a gecko, and dodged Sun Lu's attack to the limit.

"How do you know about this weird thing?" Zhang Xiaojuan manipulated the little clay figurine to help while inquiring with Sun Lu.

Lu Sheng and the others are also well-informed, but they have never seen zombies like this.

Sun Lu pursed his lips and sent a string of fireballs at the mutant zombies, "Before, we went to the coastal areas to exchange supplies, and found that the local ocean was seriously polluted, and many people had abnormal bodies after eating radioactive mutated fish, and a new type of zombie with more agile movements was produced. ”

"Let's move quickly, this thing lives in groups, and likes to call a companion to help."

As soon as she finished speaking, several mutated zombies burst out of the vent.

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow had already rushed to the side of the team, and the bloody mouth bit off a person's head.
