Chapter 367 Viruses
The helicopter arrived not long after, and I naturally went back with Suo Tian, along with the brainless team member and a bag of walking corpse remains.
It only took about ten minutes for us to land in front of a hospital building.
In fact, it is a bit reluctant to say that this is a hospital building. Before I went in, I made an inference based on the doctors and nurses in white coats who were busy outside.
The so-called haunted house in third-rate horror movies is closer.
But after all, it was temporarily equipped during the war. After entering, the equipment inside seemed quite reliable.
Suotian's wound was treated quickly. The bullet was embedded in the flesh and required a minor operation.
The team member and I could only wait anxiously in front of the door of the operating room. Although we knew there would be no danger, people are like this. As long as the person they care about is linked to the operation out of sight, they will feel anxious.
It's terrible, I'm afraid that something bad will happen at any time.
I was thinking wildly while I was idle. I glanced at the team members next to me, cleared my throat and said, "What's your name?"
Hearing this, the soldier who had been staring at the door of the operating room turned his head to look at me, stood up straight and replied seriously: "Mrs. Report! Rongmeng!"
I was stunned: "What? Brave?"
"Rong!"
"Oh..." I waved my hand and said, "You don't have to talk like this, just chat normally, otherwise it will make me nervous too."
When Rong Meng heard this, his expression changed, and then he nodded slightly stiffly at me: "Understood!"
Sighing, I turned my head helplessly. Let's forget it. This person is not suitable for chatting. No wonder Suotian is silent all day long, hanging out with such stupid people all day long.
, if it were me, I could also learn to be aloof.
After about an hour, Suotian walked out of the operating room. Yes...you read that right, he walked out on his own.
The man next to him who had been sculpting for more than an hour immediately followed Suo Tian as soon as he saw it.
The doctors and nurses following Suo Tian all looked ashamed. One of the doctors was still talking: "Captain Suo, although your injury is not serious, it is still a gunshot wound anyway. You need to recuperate. Otherwise, the wound will be damaged."
It’s hard to heal!”
Suotian didn't answer the doctor's words, and waved his hand to me. When I walked to him, he pulled me towards the door. I quickly grabbed him: "You have to rest! What are you doing out now?"
!”
As a result, before Suo Tian could answer me in a hurry, the door in front of us was pushed open, and four soldiers in military uniforms stood outside. When they saw Suo Tian, they said, "Master Suo, I'll be waiting for you."
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
When the doctors and nurses saw those people, they stepped aside and stopped talking.
Suotian glanced at the four of them, said a favor, and then pulled me and continued to walk out. Without turning his face, he asked the people beside him: "What's the news from above?"
One of them replied in a calm voice: "The military commander was very anxious to wait for Captain Suo to pass, and he didn't say much else to us."
Suo Tian glanced at him slightly, narrowed his eyes and then slowly said: "My patience only goes so far."
His voice slowed down, indicating that he was in a bad mood.
The person who had just answered probably understood now. He looked back at the other people around him and then answered: "The research institute sent back the news. After receiving it, the military commander ordered us to come and pick you up.
We really don’t know the specific information, but it seems that the main reason for asking you to come over is not for this matter, but because there is a serious problem at the West City Gate."
I was stunned, West City Gate?! Isn’t that the place where I stayed before? Feeling anxious, I opened my mouth and asked: "What happened to the West City Gate?"
The person who originally answered Suotian's words looked at me twice and didn't speak for a while. Finally, he looked at Suotian's hand holding mine, and then answered: "The commander-in-chief of the West City Gate is in an accident."
Commander-in-chief? An old man in military uniform...
"What does accident... mean?"
"It's broken."
After the man finished speaking, I suddenly stopped walking, looked at him blankly, and didn't say anything for a while.
Suotian's expression did not change. He glanced at me twice, increased the strength in his hands and continued walking outside: "He is not the commander-in-chief."
I looked at Suotian: "When the old man in military uniform came here, he clearly said that he was..."
"He is indeed the commander, but the commander-in-chief was already established when I arrived and will not be replaced."
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed them except the door. There was still a helicopter waiting for us outside.
I got on the plane and was silent all the way. I noticed that the plane had flown into the inner part of the city wall.
After landing in an open space, there was already a car waiting for us not far away.
Just like that, we got off the plane and got into the car. We were driven all the way to a building.
This is a real building. I looked up and saw that it must be dozens of stories high.
It is quite eye-catching compared to the surrounding buildings.
After we entered, we went straight to the elevator without waiting to take in the surrounding environment.
Those people took us all the way to the 35th floor. When we stepped out of the elevator, I quickly scanned the facilities here.
It was similar to the conference room we had seen before, except that a large and exaggerated TV on the wall was playing a close-up of the face of a walking corpse.
Those people were standing outside the door. The entire hall, including the walls, was made of glass, so there was no obstruction to the line of sight.
Rong Meng and I were originally blocked from the door, but when the person blocked me, Suotian frowned and glanced at the person. The person hesitated for a long time before slowly retracting his hand that was blocking me.
There were already people sitting around the conference table in the room, and I noticed that even the person named Gao was among them.
When Suotian and I entered the house, he noticed me, raised his hand and waved to me, smiling evilly twice as a greeting.
I nodded slightly to him, and I could see that things in Nancheng were indeed difficult to handle, and Gao looked haggard.
Except for the person named Gao, it was the middle-aged woman at the top of the conference table who caught my attention.
How can I put it... the moment I saw her, I always felt that she looked familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere, but I just couldn't remember. Suotian sat down next to Gao, and I was also close to him.
The next position was done.
The people around me probably didn't know who I was, so they all looked at me with suspicion.
The woman at the top was not surprised at all.
After the two of us sat down, she spoke slowly: "For those of you here, the institute has just released the latest report, which is the most detailed information on the structural changes in the human body after viral infection. This is what we have always wanted to study.
result."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at Suotian, and then continued: "In the past, in order to prevent the thick smoke from attracting a larger number of zombies, today we used incendiary bombs for the first time to deal with a large number of zombies, but what happened was shocking
The walking corpse will not be burned to death by fire."
Everyone here must have heard the relevant news before. Now one of the strong old men said: "Did the research body sent back by Captain Suo discover anything?"
The woman nodded: "That's right, we haven't known much information all this time, and careful research has never been able to make substantial progress. But this time it has to be said to be a blessing in disguise. We found that after the walking corpse is burned at high temperature,
, it will actually restore some thinking."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar almost instantly, including Suo Tian and Gao, who also frowned and turned their attention to the woman.
If I am correct, she should be the military commander mentioned by the men in military uniforms.
Her whole body gave off a feeling that she was extraordinary.
"What does it mean to have recovered some thinking? Does it mean that after the zombie was burned by the fire, it still had the ability to think logically outside of instinct when it went out to eat?"
"In that case, wouldn't it be possible for a walking corpse to turn back into a human after being burned by fire?"
"Impossible! There is absolutely no such possibility! Their body functions are completely in a post-death state. If the virus is removed from them, the result will only be that the zombies will turn back into corpses. It is absolutely impossible to turn back into humans.
.” The person who said this should be someone from the research institute.
"Then if you have determined that the walking dead cannot turn back into humans, why are you still conducting today's research and calling us all here?"
"In any case, this is a discovery. It may be another area that we don't know about at the moment. Perhaps it is not impossible that we can seize this point to find a way to defeat the virus!"
"From the beginning when the virus infection stimulated the character's nerves, to the discovery of virus antibodies in zombie bites, to the many types discovered later, the people in your research institute said this every time, but in no time did it really work.
?According to me, this virus is incurable. If you want peace in the world, you have to destroy them all!"
"Ha... It's simple." The man from the research institute just now said with a sneer: "Have you finished destroying them? Even if we have used up all our cannonballs, have you finished destroying the hundreds of millions of zombies out there?
! In the past two years, we have put so much effort and effort into exterminating only tens of millions of zombies. And don’t forget, so what if they are all exterminated? We are all carriers of the hidden virus. As long as we die here, then what will happen?
