Chapter 119 "I had a nightmare."

Liu Ruosong opened his eyes.

The moment Liu Ruosong woke up, the first thing Liu Ruosong recovered was his sense of hearing—alarms and non-mechanical cold notification sounds mixed together, outlining a distinct and special environment.

[Please note that the evacuation point will be closed within 10 minutes. Please keep calm and retreat to a safe area to avoid stampede accidents. 】

The cold steel beams fell from the ceiling high, and the pale lights illuminated the tiled floor, hurting Liu Ruosong's eyes.

——This is the high-speed rail station in City S.

When the zombie virus first broke out, the high-speed rail had not been completely shut down, so this became the original official evacuation point.

Liu Ruosong returned to the beginning again.

Counting this time, this is the third time Liu Ruosong has returned to this place.

The memories of several lifetimes were gathered together in an instant, Liu Ruosong's mood fluctuated greatly, and he suddenly looked to his side like a conditioned reflex——in the VIP sofa not far away, Shao Xuefan was lying there with his clothes on, fast asleep.

The old old professor had been frightened before, and he looked haggard and lacked energy. He was wrapped in clothes and huddled on the sofa, like a piece of completely harmless dead wood, which could be broken into several sections with just a light touch.

Only Liu Ruosong knew how cruel his heart was hidden under his harmless appearance.

Liu Ruosong hated him in his heart, and that hatred had turned into a jar of bitter wine for a long time, burning him day and night so that he could not rest at peace, so that whenever he saw Shao Xuefan's face, his heart would instinctively ignite .

He stood up suddenly, pulled out his gun uncontrollably, and pointed the dark muzzle at Shao Xuefan.

The old man was unaware of the danger outside, Liu Ruosong's chest heaved violently, and the hand holding the gun was shaking a little.

Why, Liu Ruosong thought almost resentfully, since he wanted to go back to the very beginning, why didn't he go back earlier.

If he went back to Xiaolou, he would never save Shao Xuefan this time.

——But at this time.

He had saved the other party, even taken him to a safe extraction point, and brought him under the noses of the authorities.

Fortunately, Shao Xuefan is not as invulnerable as he was then. The sentry on duty stands guard outside the lounge. There are only the two of them in the huge VIP hall. As long as he pulls the trigger now, everything will end.

Everything is over, Liu Ruosong repeated in his heart.

Liu Ruosong was at war with heaven and man, his finger had already touched the trigger, and with a light push, the nightmares that plagued him and Fu Yan's hidden dangers would disappear.

...but no.

Liu Ruosong was already terrified, his reason and emotion were torn apart, and his emotion clamored for him to act immediately, but his precarious reason was still holding on to the last thread.

Is Shao Xuefan a necessary factor for customs clearance, he asked himself.

he does not know.

He didn't know if the other party was irreplaceable, and he didn't know what consequences would this choice lead to if he killed the other party today.

In the real world, there is no warning of failure. If he chooses wrong, they will continue to struggle on the wrong path in vain as before, leading to the doomed end of failure.

Liu Ruosong's rationality told him that he could not and did not dare to give up any tiny detail, because it might be the key factor to save Fu Yan from the fire.

He didn't want Fu Yan to suffer anymore.

So not only did he want revenge, but more importantly, he had to end this farce and completely reverse the ending of the last days.

Otherwise, everything is just drinking poison to quench thirst. Without Shao Xuefan, there will be countless traps in the future.As long as the end of the world is not over, Fu Yan will always be in danger.

It was not easy to make this decision. For so many days and nights before, Liu Ruosong wished to dissect Shao Xuefan alive, and then take out the other party's bones and flesh to feed the zombies.

Now that the other party is unarmed and lying in front of him without any resistance, asking Liu Ruosong to give up by himself is tantamount to gouging out his heart.

Liu Ruosong's chest heaved violently, and after a few short breaths, reason finally gained the upper hand with difficulty.He slapped the gun on the coffee table so hard that he almost made a crack in the viewing glass.

The sentry outside the door heard the sound and rushed in to inquire about the situation.

"...It's okay." Liu Ruosong said hoarsely, "I had a nightmare."

Seeing him sitting dejectedly on the sofa with red eyes, the sentinel was shocked for a moment.

"This matter...is really unacceptable." The young man stammered and tried to comfort him: "But don't worry, we will do our best to ensure the safety of you and Professor Shao, and we will definitely send you to Yancheng safely, please rest assured."

"En." Liu Ruosong nodded disinterestedly, he put the gun back into the holster, crossed his fingers together, and shook it vigorously, as if he was enduring something.

"You go out first." Liu Ruosong said, "Let me be quiet for a while."

The sentinel nodded, thinking that he must have come back, only then did he realize the cruelty of the end times, so he exited the lounge thoughtfully, leaving him time to digest.

After he went out, Liu Ruosong stood up, and he turned around in a circle, trying to calm down his intense emotions.

He can't kill Shao Xuefan, at least not now.

Because Liu Ruosong suddenly remembered that the timing of his return this time was wrong - he came back late.

Not only because of saving Shao Xuefan, but also because of Shao Qiu and Fang Sining.At this point in time, Shao Qiu had already embarked on the journey planned in his previous life, and it was too late for him to stop those two people.

Even if he starts to think of remedial measures now, Liu Ruosong is not sure whether he can change the ending of those two people in the future.

But if Fang Sining cannot be rescued, Liu Ruosong still needs a guarantee.

In terms of professional pharmaceutical research, Liu Ruosong knew that he was no match for their master and apprentice, so he needed at least one "spare item" to prepare for future research.

But in any case, the premise of all this is that Shao Xuefan cannot get such a high status like last time.

Liu Ruosong turned his head and fixedly stared at Shao Xuefan.

This time, he had to gain the right to speak in the laboratory building before the other party. He wanted to get more rights and status before the other party, and he had to find more protection for Fu Yan.

In his previous life, he had clearly understood the attitude of politicians—as long as he had information, research capabilities, and experimental results, he could get many privileges.

Special times, special treatment, as long as you have the ability, nothing is a problem.

Coincidentally, Liu Ruosong thought, I don't have as much ability as them, but I have other things.

He walked to the sofa in silence and looked down at Shao Xuefan.

Shao Xuefan was still in a deep sleep, his brows were tightly frowned, and the red light on his body was already running and frightened.He didn't know that the gentle and kind young man beside him had come back from the long years, full of hatred and indifference, and was thinking about how to skin him and tear him apart to drain the last drop of blood.

Liu Ruosong bent down slightly, brushed Shao Xuefan's neckline gently with his fingertips, unbuttoned the other's shirt collar, groped around his neck for a while, and then gently drew a black line from inside.

Shao Xuefan frowned in his sleep, as if he was about to wake up, Liu Ruosong quickly made a knife in his hand, knocking him unconscious.

Shao Xuefan fell limply before he could struggle, and Liu Ruosong was no longer careful, and with a hook of his fingertips, he pulled the thing out of Shao Xuefan's clothes.

There was a hard metal object falling from the black line, shaking in mid-air, Liu Ruosong caught it and rubbed it in his hand.

It was a metal USB flash drive, exactly the same as the one Fang Sining had in his hand.

——This is the "secret key" of Shao Xuefan's secret document.

Liu Ruosong originally thought that after Fang Sining disappeared, this thing disappeared.However, in his previous life, he accidentally discovered that Shao Xuefan still had an original copy on him, which he kept with him every day.

Let's start with B-92, Liu Ruosong thought.

In his previous life, he forced himself to remember many things, the most important of which was the content of Shao Xuefan's experiment.

He knows all his research ideas, experimental steps and key nodes, as long as he is given time, he can return to the last process of his previous life faster than Shao Xuefan.

Liu Ruosong suddenly remembered his first class in college. The lecturer in that class was an old professor who was rehired, several years older than Shao Xuefan, with a pair of old-fashioned brass glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were piercing.

His gaze swept across the large classroom and landed on every student's face one by one.

"Doing academic research, talent and ability are not important." The old professor said: "There is only one thing, I hope you will remember it from today."

"Don't plagiarize, don't embezzle, and don't use other people's achievements. Remember academic ethics and respect natural development." The old professor said: "Never go against your own heart and be an upright person. Be worthy of professional ethics and your own character."

The ignorance and excitement when I entered school many years ago are still in my memory, and the old professor's words are still in my ears, but Liu Ruosong doesn't want to hear it anymore.

Fuck academic ethics, Liu Ruosong thought, I don't care anymore.

I just want to save the people I want to save, nothing else matters.

As long as the goal can be achieved, he doesn't care whether it is stolen or robbed.

Liu Ruosong squeezed the metal USB flash drive in his hand, slowly took two steps back, then he turned around and opened the door of the lounge.

"Excuse me, can you give me a communicator for intercom." Liu Ruosong smiled at the sentry post outside the door, and said, "I have something to do with No. [-] Zhao Jincheng of the Military Region of the A Department, and report to him if there is any situation. .”

The sentry outside the door was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"About Professor Shao's suspected violation of regulations, which caused the leakage of the zombie virus." Liu Ruosong lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Shao Xuefan just talked in his sleep, I heard something, and I feel uneasy, so I want to ask No. [-] to investigate this matter. "

The sentry was obviously shocked by this news, he hesitated for a while, then glanced into the room in disbelief.

"No... no way," he said.

"It's just a guess." Liu Ruosong said softly, "I can't guarantee it's completely true."

"Yes... yes, I understand." The sentry hesitated and said, "Then I, I will report to the superior first."

Liu Ruosong nodded lightly.

He watched the back of the sentry leaving, and slowly squeezed the door frame tightly.

Liu Ruosong suddenly discovered that at this moment, he seemed to have become a conspirator without a teacher.
