When Mu Tang went back, there was no one in the room.
Ren Yulin went out for training. Lu Yan had been very busy since applying for a job transfer, and seemed to be investigating something.
Mu Tang fell on the bed and stared at the ceiling in trance.
Just now, Qi Su was about to continue the class, but suddenly his silver moon earrings started to flash again, and then Qi Su's originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.
He told her that he had to go back for something and it would be some time before he could come over.
Mu Tang actually didn't care much about these. What caught her attention was the earring hanging on Qi Su's ear. It often flashed in the past, and Qi Su would almost go back after flashing it.
That earring seemed to use a special way to allow Qi Su to communicate with the person opposite.
The difference was that in the past, Mu Tang could only see the earrings flickering when she stared at them, but this time, she could vaguely hear the sound.
The voice of the person opposite.
The sound was very small, like the chirping of insects at night, and it was impossible to hear what was being said.
But this was enough for Mu Tang to guess that the earrings probably had nothing to do with the walkie-talkies that Lu Yan and the others usually used, but were a communication tool developed after the end of the world that used spiritual power as the medium.
Qi Su may not realize that the precision of her mental power control has reached the point where she can capture the spiritual transmission of them as a medium.
The sound of the door opening came from downstairs, and the only one who could come back at this time was Lu Yan.
Mu Tang's eyes lit up, he quickly sat up from the bed and jumped downstairs:
"Lu Yan!!"
Lu Yan stopped closing the door, turned around, opened his arms, and firmly caught Mu Tang who rushed down the stairs.
Mu Tang hugged Lu Yan's waist and rubbed his face:
"you are back?"
Lu Yan naturally hugged her tightly and said in a low voice:
"Um."
Then he hugged Mu Tang and placed her on the chair in the living room, put the things in his hands on the table, and rolled up his sleeves:
"Are you hungry?"
Mu Tang nodded, sat on the chair and shook his legs:
"What did you investigate today?"
Lu Yan answered while taking out cooking tools and ingredients from the space:
"Nothing, I just went to watch Ren Yu's training."
Mu Tang nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Yan began to clean up the ingredients. The base was in short supply of ingredients. Two-thirds of the ingredients in his space had already been given to the wounded at the base.
The medical conditions are already very poor, and if nutrition cannot keep up, the recovery of the wounded will be even slower.
They often return to perform missions outside the base, and injuries are inevitable. If the injuries heal too slowly, the wounded will accumulate. Over time, the fragile medical system of the base will completely collapse.
In fact, he mainly went to find out the cause of Major General Yu's death today. The most natural cause of death was the most abnormal.
The reason why he decided to transfer his post in the first place was also because of this. Even Lieutenant General Lu would not let him get in touch with the core of the base if he was not affiliated with the base.
Major General Yu has been dead for some time. The original death scene, including the scalpel that infected him, has been destroyed. Even if there is evidence, it should be disposed of now.
Lu Yan could only start investigating from those clues.
His death investigation file was almost perfect, with almost no flaws, but Lu Yan still found some unreasonable things in it.
On the day Major General Yu was infected, the last place he inspected was the research laboratory where Lieutenant General Lu asked the Ministry of Science and Technology to additionally develop hormones that promote the growth of crops and livestock.
This kind of hormone technology has been very mature before the end of the world, and it is even a tool often used by individual private businessmen who want to gain unjust benefits.
As long as they master the formula, there is no difficulty for military researchers.
Therefore, Major General Yu was not very concerned about it and only went to inspect it occasionally.
There are detailed time records in the file information.
Although they said that Major General Yu returned to his research laboratory after the inspection, so he was infected.
But according to Lu Yan's experience, as well as Major General Yu's infection level and his death photos in the file, the most likely place where he was infected was actually the hormone research laboratory.
The doubt is that it is impossible for the hormone research laboratory to come into contact with the zombie virus, and it is even less likely to have a scalpel with a zombie virus.
Therefore, Lu Yan believed his guess even more. Major General Yu did not die from improper operation and infection, but had other reasons.
Lu Yan suppressed all the questions in his heart, scooped out the food from the pot, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Mu Tang.
Mu Tang quickly took it and took an exaggerated breath, then scooped up a large spoonful and tried to stuff it into his mouth.
Lu Yan quickly grabbed her hand:
"Be careful!"
"Oh." Mu Tang nodded, then blew twice and eagerly put the spoon into his mouth.
Lu Yan laughed helplessly and touched her head:
"Is it tasty?"
Mu Tang nodded like garlic:
"tasty!"
Looking at her bulging cheeks due to the food, Lu Yan felt a sense of satisfaction for no reason. Probably all chefs feel this kind of satisfaction when they see their food being so loved by diners.
Mu Tang took two more bites and then handed the spoon to Lu Yan's mouth.
Lu Yan was used to this kind of feeding. He was used to opening his mouth to eat what Mu Tang fed him, and then looked at the little girl with tenderness and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
…
The zombies at the door were rushing against the door of the communication station frantically, and the door lock was broken. Several soldiers could only desperately block the door to prevent the monsters outside from rushing in.
The huge thrust caused by the crowding of zombies between the two doors pushed out a gap the size of a fist.
The hands of the zombies, rotten to the point of leaving only bones, stretched out from the crack in the door. Occasionally, one or two ferocious faces full of blood could be seen.
The woman in the white coat was so frightened that she hid behind the communication desk. She wanted to scream, but she was afraid of further irritating the zombies outside the door, so she could only cover her mouth desperately.
The two soldiers kept working on the communication platform, switching communication channels, and shouted into the microphone:
"Call Tongcheng Base, if you hear me, please answer. Call Tongcheng Base, if you hear me, please answer!!"
There was no sound from the receiver except the heartbreaking busy tone.
After changing all the channels, they had to realize in despair——
This communication station is no longer active.
"There is another communication station in the south of the base!" shouted one of the soldiers who was desperately blocking the door.
But as soon as these words came out, everyone present turned pale.
The southern communication station is completely in two directions from the communication station where they are located. To get there, you have to pass through most of the base.
At this time, the base has become a hotbed of zombies, with infected people everywhere. They don't even have much ammunition left, and there is only a dead end if they want to get over...
The leading soldier stood there blankly. After a few seconds, he suddenly gritted his teeth, strode around behind the communication platform, and grabbed the woman huddled in the corner:
"Dr. Qiao Yue, you can develop antibodies, right?"
The woman raised her head in a daze, stared blankly at the person in front of her, and said in a nonchalant voice:
"I, I just discovered that the activity of zombie viruses can be inhibited. Antibodies, antibodies have not been developed yet..."
The noise of the zombies outside the door became louder and louder. The soldier no longer looked as tolerant and comforting as before. He grabbed the woman's shoulders and shook her hard, shouting:
"You can work it out, right?"
The woman was frightened by his eyes and turned to look at the other people in the room. They all looked at her coldly with expressions of determination on their faces.
Timidity rose from the bottom of her heart, and the woman nodded randomly:
"Yes……"
The warrior let go of her and looked at the remaining warriors in the room.
With determination on their faces, they smiled at him and nodded.
The leading soldier took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Escort Dr. Qiao Yue and the experimental files to the southern communication station!"
