Mu Tang frowned slightly and stretched out his hand in front of Qi Su:
"It's possible, but it won't be of much use to you."
Qi Su used an ice pick to prick Mu Tang's fingertip, and then froze a drop of blood. After watching Mu Tang's wound recover, he said without raising his head:
"Who knows? If it does work, I want to really taste it while I can still move."
"Then why don't you drink it now? Maybe I can give you a little more when I'm next to you?" Mu Tang asked strangely.
Qi Su shook his head:
"What if there are side effects? I will die before Li Si dies. This is too unworthy. Let's wait until he is gone."
"Okay." Mu Tang retracted his hand and got up from the ground:
"I'm leaving first. The experiment is not completed yet. I beg you to stay here a little longer."
Qi Su waved his hand:
"let's go."
…
On the other side, the zombies in Tomorrow's base have been cleared away. The gap in the city wall is on top, still dozens of meters above the ground. Although it will have to be filled sooner or later, it is not the most important.
The survivors followed the army and finally entered this long-lost city-state, looking at the collapsed buildings and the corpses left by zombies everywhere.
There is still a lot for everyone to do.
Fortunately, with the encouragement of the army, everyone cheered up, cooperated with each other, and began to rebuild their homes.
Lu Yan is checking whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net inside the base. Now is a special period. Once someone is bitten, the military morale that was finally encouraged will collapse.
Qi Yang followed him and reported the current situation in the base:
"The maintenance of the base facilities is on track. According to the current progress, the equipment that can still be used will return to normal operation soon. There is a lot of ammunition left in this base, which is good news. There are also central missiles, and the target setting is no longer Now you can freely set bombing targets."
Lu Yan felt complicated about the weapon that killed Lieutenant General Lu, but he also knew that this was their biggest support at present, so he asked in a low voice:
"How many more times can it be used?"
Qi Yang shook his head regretfully:
"The ammunition and equipment are not in good condition. It's enough for once."
Lu Yan nodded:
"I understand, you go ahead and do your work."
Qi Yang took a step back, saluted him, then turned and left.
Lieutenant General Lu passed away, and the current top commander is Lu Yan.
"Captain Lu!" A shout suddenly came from behind.
Lu Yan turned around and found that Lin Wu was holding Little Sun behind him. He seemed a little hesitant, but he still walked over quickly.
Lu Yan didn't have much friendship with this lady. He didn't even exchange a few words. He didn't understand what she wanted from him, but he still patiently replied:
"What's up?"
Lin Wu hesitated for a moment and then said:
"I... heard about Xiao Mu..." Then he said hurriedly:
"I didn't mean to expose your scars, it's just that something is really wrong with you right now."
She paused for a moment before speaking, and finally whispered:
"I think Xiaomu still hopes you will be well."
She had always been suspicious of the senior officer in front of her, and besides, he was not really approachable. Logically speaking, she would never interact with such a person in her life.
But since Mu Tang's accident, this senior officer has almost treated himself as a tool and worked rapidly in the base, and his body has become visibly haggard.
She thought that Mu Tang probably didn't want to see this scene.
After all kinds of hesitation, she still found him and tried to persuade him weakly, although it might not have any effect.
After a long time, Lu Yan's tired and hoarse voice sounded:
"I understand, thank you for your concern, I will pay attention."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan stopped staying and strode towards the post where he should be.
Lin Wu hugged Little Sun and looked at his back from behind. He realized that what he said had no effect at all. Worry appeared in his eyes and he couldn't help but sigh.
In the evening, Lu Yan finished what he should do and returned to his temporary residence.
Niba was sleeping outside the door. He was exhausted today. The gap in the base wall was too high from the ground. The army was in a hurry and did not have the equipment to transport supplies.
It can only be carried by Niba one trip at a time.
Lu Yan walked over and patted the dog's head. After Niba finished nuzzling him, he opened the door and walked into the room.
Gao Dongye was still tied up, but now he didn't have to be outside the door and had a temporary room.
His identity was too special, and locking him up casually would only cause panic. Besides, Qi Yang and the others didn't know how to deal with him. In the end, on Qin Zhen's suggestion, he was still placed with Lu Yan.
Lu Yan didn't tie him up like a silkworm chrysalis like before. He just put shackles on his legs and hands and tied him to a chair.
Noticing Lu Yan, he even raised his head and said hello:
"came back?"
Lu Yan looked at him silently for a while. For someone with the same status as Mu Tang, he was indeed more tolerant.
So he nodded and responded:
"Um."
Gao Dongye looked at him and found that this man seemed a little older than yesterday. He raised his head and said:
"Let's talk?"
Lu Yan put his clothes down for a moment, then pulled a chair over and sat next to him.
It's funny to say that the person he talks to the most now seems to be this "alien" who is half human and half zombie.
"What to talk about?"
"Mu Tang." Gao Dongye seemed to know how to chat with Lu Yan.
Sure enough, as long as it was related to Mu Tang, even if it was something he had said countless times before, Lu Yan would still listen to it with interest.
Gao Dongye repeatedly mentioned what he had said countless times about Mu Tang. He noticed that Lu Yan seemed to care more about what happened after Mu Tang turned into a zombie than what happened before Mu Tang.
Mu Tang actually stayed with him for two days after she lost her memory, but at that time she was ignorant, didn't know anything, and couldn't remember anything clearly.
In fact, there is nothing to say. In order to ensure that Mu Tang would not die if she went out, he secretly left the experimental station and sent her to a town far away from the experimental station with a small population and few zombies.
Someone happened to have trapped a large number of zombies in that town, which was more suitable for Mu Tang, who was weaker than ordinary zombies at that time, so Gao Dongye threw the people there.
It was such a short journey, but Lu Yan took the trouble to listen.
Gao Dongye always memorizes that passage, but today he wants to say something else:
"Before the Tongcheng base was blown up, you should have noticed the aura of high-level crystals emanating far away. I also came close to the Tongcheng base after I noticed that aura."
Lu Yan frowned, not understanding why he suddenly said something else.
Gao Dongye continued:
"That thing must be Mu Tang's masterpiece. She is so smart. Her mental power can be combined with human technological products. What Li Si couldn't make with so much effort, she can actually make it within a few days after recovering her memory. ”
Just like the earrings on his ears, this is something made by Mu Xu. It does not rely on signals, but on mental power.
It was used by him and Qi Su to communicate.
It's just that when Qi Su let him go, he never contacted him again just in case, because the reason why the two earrings can connect depends on Li Si's mental power.
"Superpowers are not beyond technology. They can be combined with technology. But for you now, it is still very difficult to get into this field. You don't have the same understanding of superpowers as Mu Tang and Li Si. People who know the virus thoroughly don’t have the conditions to study it.”
As Gao Dongye spoke, he touched the earrings hanging on his ears and suddenly said:
"Mu Xu doesn't know his daughter as well as I do. He wants Mu Tang to study his inexplicable things with him. In fact, just by putting these things in front of Mu Tang, she will soon be interested on her own. .”
"It's a pity that Mu Xu chose such an extreme method, which made Mu Tang unwilling to join him."
As he said that, Gao Dongye glanced at Lu Yan, seeming to see his disapproval, and laughed:
"Why, you don't think that Mu Tang is kind-hearted and compassionate to the people. That's not the case at all. She is actually the same type of person as Mu Xu and Li Si. Mainly because she is interested in it, she will actively and continuously seek knowledge, and she will do whatever it takes. You can already tell by doing those experiments on herself."
"Besides, the zombie virus is not the first man-made virus that appeared in ACET. Before it, Mu Tang had many experiments, which is why she understood the zombie virus so quickly."
Lu Yan frowned, no, the Mu Tang who had recovered his memory was not like this.
From what Gao Dongye said, Mu Tang seemed to be an extremely cold person who would do anything for experiments.
But through Lu Yan's rare interactions with her, it was obvious that she was worried about every survivor and the future of mankind.
But what Gao Dongye said didn't sound like a lie, so someone changed Mu Tang and made her let go of her obsession with seeking healing and turn her attention to the people around her.
Who is this guy? There is only one possibility.
That was another Mu Tang, Lu Yan's lover.
It turns out that the two of them are not as completely separated as Mu Tang said, but they still influence each other in a subtle way.
Gao Dongye continued to chatter:
"Your base doesn't have such high-level crystals, but Mu Tang can create them out of thin air. Even Li Si can't do it. Her ability is really strong."
Lu Yan frowned instantly:
"How do you know there are no such high-level crystals in the base?"
The crystal information distributed that day was information about sixth-level zombies. Although sixth-level zombies were rare, they were not absent.
Gao Dongye looked at him strangely:
"Your comrade seems to be a little mentally disturbed. He suddenly broke in that day and talked a lot, which was all useless nonsense. I don't remember anything except this sentence."
Apart from Qin Zhen Lu Yan, I can’t think of another comrade who is mentally ill.
Qin Zhen seemed fine on the surface, but in fact he still got sick occasionally. When he was sick, he would bang his head against the wall crazily, or self-mutilate, or talk non-stop like he was in a nightmare.
Lu Yan easily guessed that Qin Zhen might be ill, but why did he come to Gao Dongye when he was ill? Doesn’t he hate zombies the most?
It seemed that something was getting closer and closer to him, as close as a piece of paper. As long as he pierced the paper, he could know what he wanted to know.
What Qin Zhen said most when he was sick was "I'm sorry". He would apologize to anyone who felt he was sorry. For the first two times he was sick, Lu Yan was added to the list of these people.
He seemed to be venting his guilt.
But what does he feel guilty about Gao Dongye?
The only possibility is that Gao Dongye has something in common with certain people, such as——
Mu Tang is also a humanoid zombie.
But Qin Zhen doesn’t know Mu Tang’s true identity at all!
Lu Yan's mind was in chaos, pacing left and right in the room, occasionally glancing out the window, and saw the mud all shrunk into a ball, turning into a huge ball of hair, and suddenly thought of something.
Mu Tang and Ni Ba have the same spirit. Everything Ni Ba sees and hears, Mu Tang can also see and hear. In the same way, whatever Mu Tang can see and hear, Ni Ba can also see. ,can hear.
So if Mu Tang is in danger, Niba will be the quickest to sense it.
But it finally appeared on the top of the city wall, and followed them obediently all the way to Tomorrow Base.
This is not in line with Niba's style at all. According to his temper, even if the Tongcheng base will be bombed and razed to the ground, Niba will not be able to leave there even half an inch.
The only possibility is that Niba actually met Mu Tang and obeyed Mu Tang's orders.
And when he saw the bloody tree that sealed Xiao Yan at the communication station, he always felt that he had forgotten something before, but now he remembered it.
Much earlier, Mu Tang once said:
If she dies, Niba will sleep with her, so keep yourself safe and don't let Niba die with her.
But isn’t mud good now?
So... Mu Tang is not dead? !
Lu Yan's pupils dilated and he felt his heart beating like thunder. Thinking back to Qin Zhen's unnatural behavior towards him during this period, he hesitated countless times.
Lu Yan felt more and more that Qin Zhen had something to say to him.
Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back and turned around to find Qin Zhen.
As a result, the low roar of Niba was first heard outside the door. Lu Yan opened the door and found Qin Zhen standing outside.
