Chapter 164 "Reproduction"

The case was solved, He Tang thought, so the concubine Yao is here.

She watched Liu Ruosong search all the ducklings away, and looked back at He Feng regretfully.

He Feng knew what she was thinking even with his eyes closed, he slowly straightened the back of the chair, opened the door and got out of the car.

"I want to touch it myself." He Feng said.

"I'm not short of this extra meal." He Tang made a face at him as he spoke, and ran to the laboratory building following Liu Ruosong's footsteps.

Fu Yan and He Feng were one step behind them, looked at each other, shook their heads, and smiled helplessly.

During these days when Liu Ruosong was taking care of Fu Yan, He Tang was mainly responsible for the security work of the research institute. He Tang would come and walk around from time to time, and the building structure was already clearly felt.

These days, because Liu Ruosong didn't have time to make a move, everything in the laboratory building was kept as original as possible.As He Tang said, except for the ones that were taken away, the rest of the tiles with words on them didn't move.

The basement was a mess, and it was still the same as before. Fu Yan's blood dried up on the ground, smeared into an inconspicuous stain.

Liu Ruosong went in and walked around, stood outside the glass room where the petri dish was held and watched for a while, turned around and left without saying anything.

He Tang knew that he was in a bad mood, so he followed along quietly, quietly acting as a little tour guide.

"The strength of the glass used to hold the petri dish is much higher than that of Captain Feng and the others." Liu Ruosong said, "Judging from the wreckage and debris, it is not difficult for the petri dish to escape from us—you said she didn't want to leave, or Because you haven't reached the berserk period, your physical fitness has also declined?"

"I have both." Fu Yan thought for a while, and said seriously: "I think, if we can continue to supply medicine to saturate her state in the closest 'human' state, she will be able to communicate."

It's good that Fu Yan didn't mention communication, but as soon as this incident was mentioned, Liu Ruosong thought of the "solution" like the bewitching words in the mouth of the petri dish, and immediately became depressed.

"She doesn't know if she has the ability to think logically yet." Liu Ruosong said, "When we get back to Yancheng, let's talk about it after the research is confirmed."

Fu Yan could see that he was not very happy, so he wisely did not continue this topic.

He coughed dryly, turned his head to look at He Tang: "You said last time, what didn't you have time to take away?"

He Tang was called by name suddenly, he was shocked when he heard the words, and pointed in a direction.

"In the back, there is a breeding ground for Joe Eden." He Tang said.

This is what He Tang told Liu Ruosong before. Joe Eden brought a bunch of zombies to do research. These zombies have the intention of self-attack and basic body reactions, which are very different from the ordinary zombies outside. .

He Tang and the others were afraid that these things were special experimental products, so they didn't dare to deal with them, so they put them in their original places, waiting for Liu Ruosong to look at them.

The "cultivation area" is not inside the research institute, perhaps for safety reasons, there is a certain distance from the research institute.

He Tang has been there several times, and she knows the way very well. She led Liu Ruosong and the others through the building of the institute longitudinally, through the building at the back door.

The security around here is extremely tight. From the back door of the research institute to the "cultivation area", a security path has been established in advance, and a light strip has been set up every three meters, which is as bright as daylight.

The field squad leader who was on duty nearby quickly trotted over and saluted He Tang.

"Major," he said, "what are the instructions?"

"Go and have a look at the cultivation area." He Tang was not in high spirits, and even looked pale. She moved away slightly, and introduced the two unfamiliar faces behind her to each other: "This is our captain, and this is the researcher of Yancheng. .”

He Feng is also wearing the training uniform of the special operations team, so there is no need for additional introduction.

The field squad leader nodded knowingly, and made a gesture to signal the far away to let go of the clip.

"The situation over there has been turbulent for the past two days." The field squad leader, a tall and thick man from the Northeast, was still terrified when he talked about this matter, his facial features were twisted and squeezed together, obviously remembering some bad scenes.

"Zombies dead again?" He Tang asked.

"That's not true," said the field squad leader, "but they scratched and smashed several iron doors—we nearly got a brother hurt."

"Understood." He Tang said, "I'll take the researcher to have a look."

As she spoke, she jumped into a sightseeing convertible next to her, and motioned for the rest of them to come up.

It took about 10 minutes to drive from the research institute to the cultivation area. Liu Ruosong observed it and found that there were fresh water supplies on the trolley, which should be used to transport goods.

"No shift?" Liu Ruosong was a little surprised: "Why did you send things over there?"

"Some of these are for our people to eat, and some are for zombies." He Tang said.

"For zombies?" Fu Yan asked, "Do zombies need food?"

In the cognition of Fu Yan in several lifetimes, this is almost non-existent.They have already done research on related issues, and believe that zombies are essentially just channels for virus transmission, and the human body is used as a virus carrier, which has actually lost the actual meaning of self-survival.

Viruses need human body and flesh to survive, so in order to reproduce and spread, they need to attack other people.

In addition, they do not need to take in other nutrients and substances to ensure their own survival.

Once the zombies need to "eat", the nature is completely different.

Liu Ruosong's face was a little solemn, he was silent for a while, then lowered his head and rummaged for a while.

In addition to military weapons, the materials on the trolley are roughly divided into two types, one is clean drinking water, and the other is meat.

There is only a small box of canned meat, and the rest is raw meat that has been cleaned. This raw meat has only been quickly roasted over a fire. The surface looks cooked, and there are bloodshots in the inside.

Liu Ruosong's expression was not very good. He closed the box and asked, "How long is it?"

"Three to five minutes." He Tang said, "Hurry up, brother Xiaoliu, do you see the square cover in front, that's it."

When Joe Aiden was in charge, there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the breeding area. He Tang guessed that these were probably used to observe the real-time status of the experimental products.

It's a pity that after Joe Eden left, these cameras automatically destroyed the memory. They hadn't had time to connect to the line, so they had to choose a stupid way to build a "shelf" next to the cultivation area to observe and process these things at a close distance. zombies.

The "cultivation area" is decorated like a dog house, with different compartments clearly separated. The building has only one floor, and there is no suspended ceiling. Therefore, people from the C Department Military District built a five-meter-high platform next to it. You can almost see the situation below at a glance.

Although zombies are very lethal, their mobility is relatively clumsy, and they have not yet evolved the jumping function, so they are considered safe from high places.

Liu Ruosong took the binoculars from the sentry and stepped onto the high platform first.

All the high-intensity headlights next to the cultivation area were turned on, Liu Ruosong squinted his eyes and looked down the platform.

There is no distinction between day and night in the minds of zombies. They are full of energy and never seem to know how to get tired.As the field squad leader said before, they looked very "restless". Liu Ruosong took a glance and found that many of the zombies had scratched the compartment door.

He Tang said before that these zombies were originally locked together in groups of two, but they were kept separately because of the behavior of harming each other.

But now it seems that these zombies are too dangerous, and they are too concentrated. Even if there is a "jailbreak" situation, it is difficult to deal with it in the first place.

Some of the zombies have successfully "breakout" and rushed into the compartment of another zombie, entangled with each other, biting each other with an unending vigor.

Liu Ruosong looked through the binoculars for a while, and gradually frowned.

"Brother, it seems something is wrong." Liu Ruosong said in a low voice, "...they don't seem to be attacking each other."

Liu Ruosong wanted to hand the binoculars to Fu Yan, but Fu Yan pushed his hand to signal that he didn't need it.

The few of them are pilots who have been in the sky, their eyesight is much better than Liu Ruosong's, and they can see clearly at this distance without binoculars.

The situation below became more and more obvious. There was a group of zombies at Liu Ruosong's feet. The two of them were wearing tattered sportswear, and they were biting each other together.

Half of the face of the slightly taller zombie had been skeletalized, and a large piece of flesh was bitten off from the arm. The slightly shorter female zombie was not much better, and the back of the neck was completely gnawed clean, revealing the white flesh inside. Sensen's bones.

But apart from this creepy scene, Liu Ruosong gradually discovered that their entanglement was actually regular.

The slightly taller male zombie has been trying to hold the other party down, and is constantly rubbing against her body, making movements similar to mating.

Liu Ruosong was silent for a long time, his fingertips were cold, he gulped and said, "No way—"

But once the words came out of his mouth, he felt that nothing was impossible.

If Joe Eden wants to create the Garden of Eden, he naturally needs a law that can continue. Although it seems outrageous to expect zombies to produce the next generation, it is not completely impossible.

Just guessing is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another. Liu Ruosong frowned, couldn't help but put down the binoculars, and retched.

Fu Yan supported him, reached out and patted his back.

Liu Ruosong felt his stomach churning, and leaned on Fu Yan's shoulder to relax for a while, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Fu Yan call his name.

"Ruosong." Fu Yan said, "Look at it."

His voice was very soft, but there was a bit of indistinctness in it. Liu Ruosong looked in the direction of his fingers suspiciously, and saw a pair of very young zombies.

They are very dull, not as irritable as other "companions", but because of this, their appearance is relatively well preserved.

Liu Ruosong frowned, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

He didn't realize anything at first, but after taking a closer look, he belatedly understood why Fu Yan called him.

——This kind of zombie is not an exception. Almost every group of entangled zombies is a combination of men and women, and as long as they can see their appearance, they are more or less similar.

Liu Ruosong's expression changed, and he subconsciously turned to look at the He family brothers and sisters beside him.
