Mu Tang raised his eyes and found that Lu Yan was already beside him.
The tension in my heart relaxed, and I subconsciously wanted to hug Lu Yan's waist. Then I thought of my wrist that was still held by Lu Yan. I felt guilty and lowered my head, not daring to look at Lu Yan's face.
Lu Yan didn't know what Mu Tang wanted to do, but this time he couldn't blame the little girl.
As soon as the strength in his hand loosened, Mu Tang quickly retracted his hand and put it behind his back, saying calmly:
"Lu Yan... I remember what you said, but Qin Zhen is very sad. I just want him to feel better. Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan can also go home..."
As soon as he finished speaking, for some reason, his heart, which had been empty all day, suddenly felt sour.
It turns out this is how it feels when a good friend leaves.
Mu Tang's eyes turned red and tears flowed out uncontrollably. Her heart felt sour and unbearable, and she explained at a loss:
"Xiao Yan will not become an ordinary zombie."
She raised her little face and looked at Lu Yan eagerly. She couldn't control her hands and grabbed his sleeves and shook them, trying to get Lu Yan to agree to her approach.
Lu Yan hesitated to speak. After a while, he raised his hand to wipe the tears on her face and sighed:
"Qin Zhen won't accept it, and neither will Xiao Yan."
No one would believe that a dead person suddenly came back to life. In addition, the existence of "zombies that look the same as ordinary people" has been completely exposed to people's eyes.
It is simply impossible to conceal Yan Mingxu's situation.
Moreover, Qin Zhen and Xiao Yan have already lost too much because of zombies, and they will never tolerate beings who become the same walking zombies.
In addition, no one can guarantee that Yan Mingxu will be able to preserve his sanity after turning into a zombie. Once he loses control at that time, the situation will be more serious than now.
Mu Tang obviously didn't expect so much. She only knew that Yan Mingxu could not return home. Qin Zhen was in pain. She was eager to use any method to alleviate Qin Zhen's pain or dilute his hatred.
"Mu Tang, even if Xiao Yan is resurrected, he can no longer stay with his family and Qin Zhen. He can't even let others know that he is still alive and must leave the base."
Mu Tang's expression was a little confused and he couldn't react for a while.
Lu Yan sighed and continued:
"He is different from you. Once people look directly at his death, they will no longer be able to accept his 'new life'."
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Moreover, for Xiao Yan and Qin Zhen, it is not the so-called 'rebirth', but greater despair."
Mu Tang lowered his head and said no more, but his shoulders were shaking slightly and his knuckles turned white.
Lu Yan looked down at the top of her hair for a long time. The silence in the air seemed to have turned into thick mucus, making the person unable to breathe.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Yan suddenly changed his mind and whispered:
"Forget it, just try it."
Mu Tang raised his head suddenly, looked at him in surprise, opened his mouth slightly, and whispered "Ah" uncertainly.
Lu Yan patted her head, with a look of compromise and relief on his face:
"But if it succeeds, Xiao Yan will have no choice but to follow us out of the base. Do you understand?"
Mu Tang nodded quickly.
Lu Yan stepped aside and Mu Tang quickly moved over.
The original wound had scabbed over, so Mu Tang cut a new one, brought her fingertips to Yan Mingxu's lips, and squeezed the thick blood in drop by drop.
After about fifteen drops, Mu Tang took back her hand and looked at Yan Mingxu expectantly.
However.
Ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes...
Mu Tang's heart gradually sank, and she stared at Yan Mingxu persistently, not daring to relax for a moment for fear of missing any movement.
But no.
Yan Mingxu was still a corpse, lying quietly on the cold floor without even a trace of change.
At forty minutes, Mu Tang had to recognize the fact——
Useless.
Lu Yan had already been mentally prepared for such a result, and now he was not surprised.
After all, no matter how powerful the zombie virus is, it cannot escape the category of "virus", and those who can be infected by the virus must be living creatures.
Yan Mingxu has died, and his body cannot provide the zombie virus with nutrients to reproduce and expand.
However, if he thought about it but did not do it, then this matter might become a knot in Mu Tang's heart for the rest of his life.
So Lu Yan's choice is to let Mu Tang do it. If it doesn't succeed, everyone can only accept the fact. If it succeeds, Lu Yan will let Yan Mingxu leave the base with them.
Mu Tang tentatively stretched out his hand and shook Yan Mingxu. After getting no response again, he looked at the wound on his fingertips in despair and said nothing.
"Okay, let's untie the spiritual link you left on them. If you continue like this, they will lose their body temperature." Lu Yan hugged her comfortingly and whispered.
Mu Tang nodded silently.
Within two seconds, Qin Zhen coughed slightly and woke up first. When he saw Lu Yan who had returned, his face looked a little confused.
Are you asleep?
"Xiao Lu...has the mission been completed?" Qin Zhen struggled to sit up. There was a dull pain in his head, and he couldn't help but press his temple.
Lu Yan took Yan Mingxu's body into the space and responded:
"The mission has been completed. All we have to do now is evacuate."
Qin Zhen nodded sadly, suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Yan and said:
"We cut the line of a car outside the base that had a lot of remaining oil. We tried it and it works."
Lu Yan shook his head:
"It's too slow, and it will take time to get from here to where you enter the base. It will also take more than ten hours to drive back to Tongcheng from here. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."
Lu Yan's eyes fell behind Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen turned his head. It was the surviving soldier. At this time, his face could be seen to the extreme. The wounds on his body that had been bitten by insects had begun to thicken.
Yellow pus seeped out and covered the wound.
Thinking of what he had just done, a complicated look appeared in Qin Zhen's eyes. After two seconds, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, laughing at himself:
"It's really... getting more and more worthless."
Lu Yan didn't know what happened, but when he saw this action, he immediately thought of his war trauma, and his face didn't look good.
Before Qiao Yue woke up, Mu Tang squatted next to the surviving soldier, reached out and touched his forehead, and whispered:
"So hot."
The movement of Qin Zhen's hand froze. This was a low-grade fever turning into a high fever. If it continues like this, it will not only be as simple as dehydration, people will be burned to death, and the wounds will worsen.
Several people quickly shook the others who were unconscious awake.
Lu Yan saw that everyone had woken up and whispered:
"I found an undamaged helicopter at the base. We can use that to go back."
Qin Zhen hesitated and said:
"The sound of this thing is so loud, it will attract the bugs and the madman here immediately. The helicopter's wings will be damaged and it will easily crash."
Lu Yan nodded:
"It's just to lure them here. If you act alone and are discovered or entangled by anyone, it will be troublesome. How about..."
"I know, it's better to let the two of them get entangled with each other, right?" Mu Tang said suddenly.
Lu Yan nodded.
"Then there's another problem." Qin Zhen looked at Niba who was lying on the side, staring at them with big eyes:
"What about the dog?"
