Chapter 182 "I didn't die then."

It took Fang Sining a few seconds to barely regain his sanity.

His eyes were painfully pierced by the high-powered searchlights, and warm liquid oozed from the corners of his eyes. Fang Sining subconsciously licked his lips, tasting the bitter and salty taste.

He hesitated and stretched out his hand, and gently hugged Shao Qiu's back, as if hugging a handful of ice that would shatter when touched.

Shao Qiu's body was full of wind and dust, and his whole body was extremely stiff. Fang Sining touched his back and felt a bit of biting cold for the first time in a long time.

But his body was so cold, but his embrace was warm, Fang Sining's arms tightened a little, and finally fell to the ground.

"Xiaoqiu." Fang Sining called him.

He had too many things he wanted to say to Shao Qiu, and too many questions he wanted to ask—for example, how did Shao Qiu leave the remote mountain like this, how he was rescued, what he experienced after returning to the military area, how his body was, And why come here and so on.

Fang Sining's mind was full of questions, but his brain seemed to be burned by the amount of information for no reason, so he couldn't say anything, he could only call Shao Qiu's name.

Shao Qiu hummed lightly.

He didn't waste too much time on this hug, maybe in just a few seconds, he let go of Fang Sining.

"Why are you here?" Shao Qiu asked.

His tone was very light, with a feeling of caution, as if he was afraid that the louder his breathing, the phantom in front of him would be smashed.

Fang Sining was speechless for a moment, as if he didn't know where to start.

Looking at Shao Qiu's thin face and tired expression, he suddenly felt blessed, and said the sentence Shao Qiu wanted to hear the most at this moment.

"I didn't die." Fang Sining repeated firmly, "I didn't die then."

Shao Qiu's eyes flickered.

At this moment, Shao Qiu's distracted eyes were finally gathered into a line by these words, and they precisely fell on Fang Sining.

"At that time... I was sucked back by the explosion, but I didn't die. I was rescued by mercenaries." Fang Sining said bravely, "Joe Eden can still use me, so he tried a way to save my life. I was cured. Then I was transferred out, and when I woke up, I was here. Joe Eden asked me to use B-92 to develop him a cure for zombies, so I have been working here."

Fang Sining apparently still remembered the unhappy time he and Shao Qiu got along a long time ago, he was afraid that this sentence would touch Shao Qiu's minefield again, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't work for him, I just want... Special medicine, people who are infected outside may be able to get treatment, so—"

"It's okay." Shao Qiu interrupted him softly: "You did the right thing."

What can Fang Sining do alone, Shao Qiu thought.

He may have been too harsh on Fang Sining before. He was only one person, and he could neither shake the world nor change the entire industry.He just wants to save people, why should he be harsh on him for what he doesn't know.

Shao Qiu can feel that he has fallen into some kind of strange circle, but with "lost and found" in front of him, it is difficult for him to have an objective view of himself.

"A-Ning." Shao Qiu asked, "Is Joe Eden here?"

"Not here." Fang Sining shook his head honestly, and said, "He usually doesn't come here, we communicate online, if we find anything, we will inform him online, and then he will send someone to get the research results—— His base camp seems to be near his home, and this is just his most assured 'stronghold'."

He used the word "stronghold" because Fang Sining didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the location. He didn't know how many such research institutes Joe Aiden had, and the scale of this research institute was huge in his place. What status, so I can only use this kind of cautious answer, for fear of misleading Shao Qiu.

Shao Qiu frowned when he heard this, he was not very satisfied with the result, but as if he was afraid of scaring Fang Sining, he tried his best to soften his tone.

This was not easy for him. After returning from the kidnapping, Shao Qiu felt a little anxious in his heart, and he would show signs of attack when it came to sensitive issues. He tried to take a deep breath and counted silently for a few seconds. Used to stabilize emotions.

"Is there any weapon in this building, is there a self-destruct device?" Shao Qiu asked.

"No." Fang Sining shook his head, and without any hesitation, he stood by Shao Qiu's side, became an "internal undercover agent", and sold the internal situation of the institute in a few words.

"...At least I don't know about it." Fang Sining said: "This research institute has a very long lifespan. Even if there is a self-destruct device, it must be manually activated."

"I am the person with the highest authority in this institute. I can go anywhere except not being able to go out." Fang Sining paused and said, "Most people should be hiding in the middle of the inner and outer areas now. There is a power outage outside. They It won’t come out—you take the emergency stairs at the back and turn to the outer passage of the research institute, then walk along the right side to the end, follow the stairs all the way forward, climb half way up, and you can reach the main control room.”

As Fang Sining said, he took off his ID card and stuffed it into Shao Qiu's hand: "Swipe this to open the door, and you can activate the emergency backup plan. The skip password for fingerprint verification is R-92785."

The reserve team who followed Shao Qiu looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect that their infiltration would go so smoothly this time, and they would also meet a helper who came to their door on the way.

It's like playing a game with the simple mode turned on, as long as you find a way to enter the instance, there will be a guide NPC to come to your door to deliver the strategy.

This group of people didn't know Fang Sining, and saw that he was dressed like a researcher, so they dubiously believed in his words and had reservations, and no one dared to make a move first.

But Shao Qiu, without any hesitation, turned around and gave the authority to the nearest guard, asking them to follow Fang Sining's instructions.

At the same time, he took two steps away and reported the situation to Fu Yan in the headset.

Fu Yan also entered this research institute. Coincidentally, he and Shao Qiubing split into two routes, taking the "peripheral passage on the right" that Fang Sining said.

"Let him come." Fu Yan was silent for a while, then said, "I'll go to the main control room to have a look."

Feng Lei led the team to attack at another research institute, and Fu Yan was the unique No. [-] commander at Mount Hara.Seeing that the two leading officers had spoken, the guard did not hesitate, took the authorization card, and ran back in groups of three.

Fu Yan stopped at the same place and waited for the rendezvous. The public channel in the earphones was turned off, and he could still hear Shao Qiu's slightly heavy breathing on the opposite side.

"The deputy team has stabilized." Liu Ruosong whispered, "I was afraid that he would not be able to hold on."

Regarding whether Shao Qiu can lead the team independently, Fu Yan hesitated for a long time the first day.

It is true that Shao Qiu's state is very uncertain, but for some reason, Fu Yan finally let go.

He has been imperceptibly worn out a little bit of temper in several restarts, and his style of doing things has also changed a lot from before.

But fortunately, the results of Fu Yan's adventures every time are not bad, it can almost be called "the best possible situation", so after a few times, although his judgment is not so sure, Liu Ruosong is still used to it Sex will listen to him.

"The more you get to this kind of time, the more stable you have to be." Fu Yan said lightly, "He can't go crazy in front of Fang Sining, right?"

The guard who delivered the authorization card came quickly. Fu Yan took the authorization card, touched it, and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his training uniform.

"Brother." Liu Ruosong grabbed his arm and asked softly, "You want to go in person?"

"Yeah." Fu Yan said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

The location of the "main control room" that Fang Sining mentioned is very tricky, and the road he pointed to is a small road that does not disturb the people inside the research institute, so when he walked to the last third of the distance, the passageway in the corridor was so narrow that it could not accommodate two people side by side. Forward.

Fu Yan pressed Liu Ruosong's shoulder, stopping him from moving forward.

"I'll take half of the people up." Fu Yan said, "Ruosong, wait for me here."

"No." Liu Ruosong frowned, and grabbed his hand: "It doesn't matter what's on it, if you—"

He subconsciously wanted to say what to do if you encounter any danger that I can't see, but he couldn't say it when he thought it was too inauspicious.

"You have to watch the back for me." Fu Yan said seriously: "The top is dangerous, and the back is the same. If there is any unexpected scene, you have to cut the back for me."

With such a serious expression on his face, Liu Ruosong twisted the words of refusal three times in his mouth, but he couldn't come out.

Fu Yan didn't have time to gossip with him, they didn't have enough manpower, and the research institute was too big, it was difficult to make dumplings for everyone at once, so they could only take a sideways approach.

He squeezed Liu Ruosong's shoulders hard, turned around and grasped the upward straight ladder, and with his arms, he swung himself up.

Several special forces from the field army followed closely behind, and Liu Ruosong was forced to stay below to guard Fu Yan.

This corridor went deep into the mountains, it was dark and cold, Liu Ruosong could only feel the cold air creeping into the cracks in his bones.

He raised his head and looked in the direction where Fu Yan disappeared, feeling suddenly in his heart that he would never return.

Liu Ruosong knew that this was his illusion. After this restart, every time Fu Yan left his sight to take risks, he couldn't help but have this thought.

Liu Ruosong shook his head, trying to get rid of this thought. As if he was going to find something to divert his attention, he pulled out his own gun from the holster and loaded it, and then communicated with He Feng and Shao Qiu. , asked about the situation.

Everything is normal there, Fang Sining has even temporarily returned to the inner area according to Shao Qiu's request, to help them stabilize the researchers.

During the few minutes when Fu Yan disappeared, Liu Ruosong passed like a year, and he turned around like a grinder, before suddenly hearing Fu Yan's exclusive communication channel ringing again.

"Okay." Fu Yan said: "The research institute has turned on the silent mode, and all external communication channels have been closed."
