Chapter 17 Biochemical Dreams Don't Die
Ren Yunsheng spit out the broken teeth in his mouth bit by bit until he made sure there were no hard particles and then leaned his head against the wall for a while. His running all the way left his body in an extremely weak state. If the turmoil arose at this time, Ren Yunsheng would definitely be doomed.
“There are still a lot to do…I can’t relax now.”
Ren Yunsheng murmured in a low voice, touching the wound on his waist and abdomen. When his fingertips touched it, it was obvious that the wound no longer had warm and fresh blood flowing out. He couldn't help but sneer twice, and his mind quickly turned.
If it were normal, even if he cut a wound on his finger, it would definitely not start to solidify so quickly, not to mention that he had been struggling with such a deep hole for a long time. But the facts were in front of him, and the blood flowed out of the wound was much slower than before. Just like a dead corpse that had been dead for a period of time, the blood that had lost its vitality broke away from the shackles and made the final struggle.
When Ren Yunsheng was studying, he liked to study various monsters and ghosts. As one of the most influential monsters in the Western monster system, zombies are naturally within his research.
Although there are no consensus on zombies, the version of the video is even more complicated. But they all have one thing in common: their metabolism is amazingly fast.
Viruses allow infected organisms to evolve rapidly. The crazy and uncontrollable metabolism in their bodies makes them repeat eternally looking for food. They have just eaten enough and continue to search for and eat. For these organisms, there is never a time to eat full. They can only eat continuously until the metabolism drags down the body, or overeating can thrust the body. Most infected people are dragged down by the unbearable metabolism at the beginning of evolution, thus breaking down the genes into zombies. They retain the endless hunger given by the virus and hunt forever.
This is also the origin of zombies.
Ren Yunsheng only felt very ironic. The things that were originally used for evolution eventually led to global degeneration. He only knew Alice, the only one who could withstand it, which was extremely low. Perhaps this kind of thing was too early for the weak humans.
If you are lucky enough to have no mutation like yourself, if you are not a little more immunity than others, you can resist more time; if you are like Alice, you have withstood the mutation and become a reinforced person. Ren Yunsheng does not think that he is a pride of heaven like Alice, nor dares to entrust his hope of survival on this illusory possibility.
Besides...
"It seems that there is no feeling of physical fitness to become stronger. It seems that eight out of ten are the first possibility. Looking at the wound, I may be getting closer and closer to the dead body. There is still about an hour left, what should I do......"
"What are you muttering?" Zheng Zha saw Ren Yunsheng whispering alone, and couldn't help but touch him, and asked in a low voice. His voice was as thin as a frizzy spring, which showed that his current state was no better than Ren Yunsheng.
Ren Yunsheng woke up and responded repeatedly, "It's okay, I'm thinking about what to do next. Zheng Zha, thank you for just standing up and helping me. If it weren't for you, my life would probably be gone."
Zheng Zha smiled bitterly, shook his head with difficulty and said, "I should actually thank you more. When I woke up in the control room, Li Xiaoyi told me that you saved my life. I should say this sentence. If it weren't for you, I would definitely die. Thank you."
The two of them did not have extra politeness, and after saving each other, their relationship was brought closer together. Ren Yunsheng had peeked at Zheng Zha's personality and psychology from the perspective of readers, and this person who was not bad in nature gradually let his guard down. However, it was precisely because of this that Ren Yunsheng realized how stupid he was in the past.
He entered this world, a hell called the Lord God Space. Everyone is no longer as transparent and simple as in books and movies. They are all living people, with thoughts, desires, and their own decisions and choices. For their own survival and interests, they will never be ruthless to Ren Yunsheng. Ren Yunsheng only remembers Zhang Jie's free and easy cigarettes when he lit up, but forgets that he is also a survivor who stood out from many newcomers and a decisive veteran; he only remembers Zhan Lan's intelligence and tenderness, but forgets that she has abandoned strange newcomers.
The reality is not as beautiful as in the book. On the contrary, these characters with terrible potential will be their most powerful competitors. Ren Yunsheng knew that he had made the most shaky mistake of the protagonist of a fan novel. He mistakenly thought that he would win every battle if he knew these characters. He mistakenly thought that he could turn the world around.
Idiots are idiots after all, and they will not be able to be extraordinary just by changing places. Ren Yunsheng doesn’t think he is a number one. He doesn’t have much to do, he can only try his best to survive!
Dream, it's time to wake up...
"Zheng Zha, can you tell me about the plot after this?"
Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear it clearly. Ren Yunsheng repeated it again and then nodded intently, and then started to whisper.
"It started here, right? In the original movie, Matthew did not survive, but... they killed the licker and ran all the way, and finally arrived at the exit at the last moment. However, the umbrella guarded there long ago, and they restrained the surviving Alice and Matt. At the end of the scene, Alice escaped from the laboratory and saw that the virus had swept the entire raccoon city. It was over here."
Zheng Zha was quick to see Ren Yunsheng's anxiety and quickly told the plot. While he was talking, he glanced at Alice from time to time, afraid that Alice would be able to hear these contents. But Alice was only focused on her mind and did not pay too much attention to them.
After listening to this, Ren Yunsheng was both surprised and happy. What was surprised was that the protective umbrella actually used these mercenaries as experimental items and had no intention of help from the beginning. What was happy was that God was quite eye-catching and left a glimmer of life for himself. But this glimmer of life was extremely dangerous and could not be achieved easily.
Thinking of this, Ren Yunsheng couldn't help but hesitate until Matthew's voice sounded, pulling him out of his contemplation.
"We can't stay here and wait for death. There is a shortage of food and drinking water here. We can't last long, so we have to find a way to escape. Now Alice and Ren, Ren, and they have found it, and the exit is blocked for an hour. There is not much time left, so we should leave."
As soon as Matthew finished speaking, the newcomers looked at each other in a glance. Finally, they focused on Zhang Jie, hoping that he could do anything.
Sure enough, after the cigarette butt was destroyed, Zhang Jie stood up and said, "We are staying here."
Matthew raised his eyebrows. This scar man always had an inexplicable mysterious color that made him unable to see through. After a moment, he said, "What does it mean? I don't have time to joke with you now. We don't have much time!"
Zhang Jie dropped the cigarette butt, and his serious expression replaced the playfulness. He looked at Matthew's eyes and said seriously: "I'm not kidding. With their physical fitness, it is impossible for them to keep up with our actions. I think you can see that. Besides, there are two wounded people, and the next long-distance escape will definitely be a death for them. It's better to let them stay here and have the possibility of survival."
These words were not unreasonable. Matthew was silent for a moment and continued, "What about you? Are you not going to come together?" Zhang Jie shrugged, looked at Zheng Zha and Ren Yunsheng who were hiding in the shadow and said, "I have recovered some memories. These people are my friends. I can't leave them and run away, so I stay."
"No! He saved my life, and I can't watch my life again. Remember, you are my teammates now, and I can't watch my teammates die! This is the principle of the battlefield. This is the order. A strong man with wounded people on his back, and we will act immediately!"
"team leader!"
The voices of Zhan Lan and Ren Yunsheng both rang out. After they looked at each other, Ren Yunsheng said first: "I will follow you to act, I hope you can provide some protection. Is it OK?"
A strange color surged in his eyes when Matthew looked at Ren Yunsheng. He immediately nodded and replied: "Okay! I am very grateful that you can still trust me. I will not give up any wounded. This is the responsibility of being a captain. Keep up, recruits."
"Captain, I hope you can listen to me. I think you have seen it too. With our physical fitness, we can't keep up with you. The next action will be faster. Instead of becoming those monsters, we can only choose to stay here, and there may be a glimmer of hope. Captain? If the captain still insists on letting us die, then I have nothing to say."
Zhan Lan's words were so sharp that they stabbed Matthew for a long time before slowly speaking: "I understand... Since this is the case, I won't force you. Kaplan, turn on the laser channel defense system. This is the safest place... If we can go back alive, we will definitely report your situation to the company and don't die..."
Both sides were acting in their own silence. Ren Yunsheng's amazing actions surprised Zhang Jie and others. Seeing their expressions, Ren Yunsheng was sure that Zhang Jie and the others should have discussed staying here early in the morning. Zheng Zha wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw Ren Yunsheng smiled at him, his words finally turned into a sigh.
"Don't die..."
The two of them whispered in a low voice. After saying that, Ren Yunsheng nodded at Matthew and followed the team silently.
The door suddenly closed and the control room was put into the darkness again.
"Or, give it."
A delicate jade hand-held pistol was sent to Ren Yunsheng's eyes, and Jessica's voice sounded in his ears.
Ren Yunsheng turned his head to look at Jessica in confusion, and didn't know how to say the words rolling in his throat.
Jessica smiled and grabbed Ren Yunsheng's hand and stuffed the gun over and said, "Hold it, it's better to use the self-guarantee. The captain's shooting skills are very accurate. You can rest assured. I guess you won't be able to use it either. But you have to survive."
"Thank you, but what are you using?"
"I still have this!" Jessica clapped the submachine gun in her hand, "Enough. Although I am a medical soldier, my marksmanship is not very bad."
Ren Yunsheng looked at Jessica, whose body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was also full of fear of the unknown. However, there was a confident look on her face, as if the words were right in front of her.
"Why help me like this?"
"Because you saved my life, just like Zheng saved the captain. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm dead. Also, you are as stupid and as simple as my brother... Although he is no longer here... I'm sorry, I didn't help you just now."
Ren Yunsheng looked at her for a long time and turned around and walked silently.
"No, you've helped me a lot."
Even if I want to hold a grudge, I will just hold a grudge against him.
For whatever reason, he is the only one I want to kill.
······
The mercenaries were very efficient in their movements. In addition, Kaplan, who was familiar with the map, the group quickly followed the route when they came back to restaurant b.
What surprised everyone was that there were only a few scattered zombies along the way. At Ren Yunsheng's suggestion, he chose to use a quieter dagger to shoot the head. Matthew felt it was not safe at first, but after seeing the hollow inside the zombie's skull, he accepted this method. Everyone was quiet and did not encounter any danger.
"It's weird, where are these zombies going?" Ryan muttered softly, looking around for the traces of the zombies.
Matthew made a silence at him and whispered: "No zombies are better for us, we act. Kaplan, what will we do next?"
Kaplan looked down at the computer, and then hesitated when he looked a little impatient: "The road ahead seems to be closed. It was closed in the time when the Queen of Flame restarted."
“Can it be opened?”
"It's ok, but it's not recommended to open it. There seems to be something in the closed space. The Queen of Flame did not forget to close it when restarting it. There should be something outside that it has to be afraid of."
Matthew looked at the closed door of the restaurant B and nodded.
"Are there any other way to go besides this gate?"
Kaplan shook his head with a wry smile, "Only the sewer it mentioned. According to its meaning, there are a large number of zombies there."
After weighing the pros and cons, Matthew cursed inwardly and said, "Open it, everyone is ready, let you stay in the middle of the team if you are injured. Others are alert and start attacking once they see those monsters."
The door slowly opened under Kaplan's control, and accompanied by the sound of steel pushing and pulling, low roars sounded one after another without wanting to be outdone. In front of everyone, dense groups of corpses rushed in from the opening.
Matthew took the lead and the bullet pierced the head of the unlucky man who was rushing in front. Without losing his strength, he pierced the cheeks of the zombies behind him. Everyone then shot at the group of corpses with the precise shooting of the mercenaries and suppressed the gunfire. Even if these zombies walked up one after another, they could only die of hatred. Whether it was Matthew or Jessica, their shooting was impeccable, no worse than the enhanced Alice. Ren Yunsheng exhaled secretly, thinking that at least these things would not be difficult for them.
As Ren Yunsheng thought so, Matthew suddenly stopped shooting.
"What's wrong with Captain?"
Matthew didn't say anything, pulled a grenade from his waist and stared at the end of the passage.
"Don't stop!"
As soon as he shouted, his pupils suddenly tightened. Then he pulled out the safety pin and threw the grenade out. At this time, a crimson shadow popped up at the corner of the passage, and flew towards the group very quickly. The grenades arrived one after another, one step slowing down the crimson shadow. This was exactly what Matthew wanted. As soon as the grenade landed, a violent flame burst out to engulf it.
"It's that monster, it's dead?"
Matthew's voice seemed to be squeezed out from his teeth, silence and effort. "No......"
