"Oh? It has special meaning, so you have to put it away and don't lose it..."
Qing Ling smiled charmingly and took her hand back.
"Isn't this hanging around my neck? If you don't ask me, why do you keep changing the topic to other places..."
After confirming that the pendant was safely around his neck, Lu Yu rolled his eyes at Qing Ling and said in a cold tone.
"Ask, of course you have to ask. I just thought about it. Little brother, your resurrection from the dead may be due to your special constitution. After all, the secondary virus has different effects on everyone..."
Qing Ling speculated, with a clear lack of interest in his tone.
But Lu Yu was curious about what happened to him and asked anxiously.
"Is there such a big difference between different effects? Isn't the secondary virus something you created? Don't tell me you can't control this thing..."
"Haha, completely control the secondary virus."
The woman chuckled, with more of a mocking tone in her tone.
"Didn't that meatball nesting in Research Station No. 7 tell you about the origin of this virus?"
Qing Ling asked instead without directly answering Lu Yu's question.
"No, it directly says that the source of the virus is a gift from God. It must be the great "Raboni" you talk about, right? "
This time Lu Yu did not tell the truth, but once again kept it in mind.
If you want to know the truth about something, you can't just get the information from one mouth.
And now that I have the opportunity, I can ask more questions without missing a piece of meat.
Qing Ling obviously saw Lu Yu's inner thoughts, and the smile in her narrow eyes became stronger.
However, this woman did not expose Lu Yu on the spot. She just replied calmly,
"Since it is said to be a gift from God, how can it be easily mastered by humans? The T organization has been studying it for so long, but it has only scratched the surface. The risk of failure in strengthening is enough to prove everything."
"Failure to strengthen means turning into a zombie, right?" Lu Yu asked tentatively.
"No, that's just waste left over from virus screening."
Seeing the puzzled expression on the young man's face, Qing Ling continued.
"If humans on earth are compared to a furnace of newly mined ore, then the enhancers are the red molten iron, and the zombies are useless slag."
"Listening to what you said, it really makes a lot of sense..."
Lu Yu didn't care about Qing Ling's biased example.
"But aren't there mutations among the zombies? If they are just trash as you said, then how come they can change into various forms? If I guessed correctly, those mutations should be just the beginning...
"You are right, those mutants will indeed evolve, which is what I want to say next..."
The smile at the corner of her mouth was suppressed, Qing Ling was serious.
"The reason why variants appear is because the research people in the organization have lost their way..."
"I'm done with it..."
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth twitched, and three black lines hung from his forehead.
Before asking this question, Lu Yu had already laid out several hypotheses in his mind.
He thought about genetic mutations, factional struggles and the like.
But the only thing I didn't expect was that the researchers got away with this result.
According to Qing Ling, those powerful mutated zombies were not intentionally created by the T organization, but were caused by one or several experimental accidents? !
Qing Ling didn't seem to intend to go any further on this topic, so she raised her eyebrows and continued.
"Listening to the description just now, you said that Lao Xia injected you with the first-generation king-level virus while you were sleeping, and then in order to solve the sequelae of your weakness, he installed the auxiliary exoskeleton on you in the research station?"
"That's right. Is there any problem?" Lu Yu nodded.
He didn't lie here, he just deliberately left out some details during his narration.
The process of injecting the first-generation king-level virus was indeed carried out unconsciously.
, but it doesn’t mean that you lose your ability to move after waking up.
The real problem occurred after Lu Yu received three foreign genes.
"No, I just want to confirm the details. After all, I'm not one of those crazy people doing research. I can't tell whether your words are true or false."
Qing Ling shrugged, quite frankly.
Just when Lu Yu thought that the woman would continue to ask about this topic, Qing Ling pulled away again and focused on Hong Lian.
"Speaking of researchers, Sister Honglian, have you met Wang Jue recently?"
"Wang Jue? Yes, what's wrong?"
Honglian, who was looking at the car window and thinking about something, responded subconsciously.
"I heard from Sir "Falcon" that the layout of the [Heartbreak] stage of the organization is nearing completion. In the next year, scientific research talents with combat capabilities like Wang Jue will be needed to go to the capital collectively. I wonder if she has received any information. information……"
"Falcon-sama said that?" I haven’t received any news from my side..."
Guren turned around slightly confused.
After calming down just now, most of the woman's anger has disappeared, but when her eyes accidentally glanced at Lu Yu's poker face, she still had the illusion of chest tightness.
"As expected, Master "Kaede" is always the slowest to receive news. Qing Ling smiled sweetly, as if she was used to it.
"Since Sister Honglian doesn't know the news, just pretend that I haven't mentioned it to Qing Ling, so don't trick me..."
"Well, no."
Guren responded, looking towards the driver's seat with a hint of warning.
Poor Chen Lang tightened his neck and shook his head vigorously.
"Guren-sama, I didn't hear anything..."
"Drive your car well."
Perhaps she had regained some feeling of superiority from Chen Lang, a hint of complacency appeared in Honglian's eyes.
However, this state did not last for two seconds, and a series of slightly mean questions made her instantly break through.
"Hey, what kind of existence is this "Kaede"-sama? And Lord "Bamboo Shoot", do the senior leaders of your organization like to use plants as code names? "
"you!"
Full of anger, Hong Lian stared at Lu Yu.
If conditions allowed, she really wanted to remove the passenger seat from the car, and then slap the young man's face hard with her round hand.
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Yu pretended to be confused, trying to understand.
"Forget it, we're going to S City soon anyway..."
As if she had thought of something, the anger that was about to reach her throat dropped again.
During the rest of the journey, the woman never looked back or spoke.
Not only did she not communicate with Lu Yu, even when Qing Ling spoke to her, she simply responded and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Probably because the T organization arranged for people to check the road in advance, Qing Ling's convoy did not encounter any danger except for taking some time to pass through some road sections with many abandoned vehicles.
When the sun was high and the temperature reached its peak of the day, everyone finally left the main road and drove into the urban area of S City.
Compared with N City, this super-first-tier city with a huge population has experienced a greater contrast after experiencing the disaster.
The prosperity of the past has faded away, leaving only crowding and dilapidation in the eyes of everyone.
"There are so many cars in S City, it must have taken you a long time to clear the roads..."
Looking out the window curiously, Lu Yu looked relaxed.
It felt as if he was not a prisoner whose identity was revealed and then captured without mercy, but an old man who was carried back by the T organization in an eight-carat sedan.
"Okay, about a week."
A delicate voice answered Lu Yu's question.
"An interesting thing happened during this period..."
"Oh? Tell me..."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, showing a very interested look.
"The survivors in City S, I don't know why, most of them thought this was just a disaster on a slightly larger scale..."
"They firmly believe that, maybe in a few weeks, maybe a few months, no more than half a year, the old order they believe in will be restored."
"and after?"
Lu Yu frowned and continued to ask.
"Later, the old order they trusted did not appear, but our people began to clear the road. Maybe it was because the equipment was too well-equipped and the seemingly formal relationship made the survivors mistake us for the defenders of the old order. .”
Speaking of this, the woman's eyes flashed with a demonic light, and her face turned red.
"They are trying to communicate with us and want us to lend a helping hand to them like the defenders of the old order..."
"Then what? You kill them all?"
Lu Yu continued to ask, his tone was calm and his emotions could not be heard.
However, the coldness in his eyes began to slowly accumulate.
"Almost, but in a more valuable way."
Qing Ling did not look at Lu Yu, but looked out the window with a dedicated expression.
"Experimental Subject No. 4 eats a lot. Before the [Heartbreak] layout is completed, it is really troublesome to feed it. I had a headache at first, thinking about where I would find so much feed after the plan is implemented. ..."
"The result is good. As the saying goes, there is no place to be found after trying to break through the iron shoes. It takes no effort to get there. The survivors in S City have solved quite a few problems for me..."
Speaking of this, Qing Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.
The joy in my heart is beyond words.
"Brother, do you know the expressions of the survivors when they learned the truth?"
Lu Yu was silent.
"The hope that I felt like I had been rescued was solidified in an instant! Then it was shattered by despair. It was so wonderful, every second, hahaha..."
Like a mentally ill patient, Qing Ling laughed loudly.
The palm of his hand slapped the exoskeleton on Lu Yu's body, making a banging sound.
The young man's silence lasted for a long time, and finally he spoke slowly.
"There are always people who are skeptical..."
"Yes! Of course!"
The laughter ended suddenly, very abruptly.
Qing Ling gasped and stared into Lu Yu's eyes with a sick look on her face.
"To be honest, there are still many people who doubt our true identity, but they were all "persuaded" by our companions to go back! "
"I advise you to go back..."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, a person alone is often full of wisdom; but if they gather together in a large group, the level of intelligence is very worrying."
Qing Ling explained with a smile, "The voices of a few are drowned out by the blind obedience of the majority of the crowd. It's that simple..."
