Chapter 66:

    A long time ago, someone in the research institute speculated that the zombie virus would evolve autonomously.

    After all, with the spread of the virus, not only infected people, but also a very small number of more dangerous variants, and even extremely dangerous and destructive special variants.

      on this assumption. Even some well-respected and authoritative experts reacted against it.

    There is only one reason, not in zombies, but in humans.

    Humans have not evolved!

    In many science fictions before the end of the day, human beings will evolve various abilities with the arrival of the end, which is not without scientific basis. To this day, many scientists still believe that when human genes feel an external threat, they will automatically change the chain sequence, and then evolve the so-called "ability".

      Variants and mutants, cold weapons just hit rocks with eggs in front of them.

    In such a short period of time, neither an immune body nor an evolutionary body has appeared. If you admit that zombies will evolve and humans will not, isn’t it equivalent to admitting that human genes are more powerful than virus-infected Inferior, should be eliminated?

    "Comrades, comrades!"

      Depressed about something? Childish! Nonsense!"

    "In addition to human beings, there are many life forms on earth, many races, but never including those infected and mutants! They are diseased body tissues, consumables driven by viruses. Their Appearance is a catastrophe for biology and a disease of the earth! But human beings will definitely win the final victory, because viruses cannot have a future!"

    Tang Xiao noticed this old man, he was not tall, his face was a very memorable square, and the wrinkles on his face were like a set of squares. The old man was wearing a knee-length gray woolen coat. The style was very old, and the corners had faded badly, but the board was clean and meticulous, just like the modeling of a game character.

    Although it was only a momentary sense of familiarity, Tang Xiao still firmly believed that he had seen this person somewhere.

    The old man's sharp eyes met her... At this moment, Tang Xiao remembered his name.

    Old Fang!

    Fang always is a title that all players are familiar with. To be precise, he is an NPC. The first time Tang Xiao saw him in the game was after the capital base had fallen. For a material mission, she ran across most of the map to a small base that was stubbornly resisting, and saw the former National Institute of Science and Life Research. Dean and Chief Expert.

    No player remembers his specific name, everyone calls him Fang Lao, and he has a "Hope" series of main quests in his hand, which is to collect mutant specimens to provide him with antidote for virus research.

    Tang Xiao was deeply impressed by him because it was difficult to find him every time, he had to pass through the dilapidated base bunkers, shuttle through the wall holes, follow the marks and drill into the underground drainage pipes, from time to time To be attacked by the infected... In the end, the player finds someone in dismay, often in a small dilapidated tent.

    The NPC with the title above his head, Fang Lao, squeezed in front of the workbench of the small tent. Occasionally criticize players:

    "Too careless! There are infected people outside!"

    "Next time in a different location..."

    "The material is too heavy to move...if it's still in the capital...hum."

    "Bring more specimens next time, while I'm still alive..."

    Afterwards, human civilization was completely destroyed, and the entire dungeon became a barren land. She never saw this NPC again.

    Perhaps the NPC turned into a real person standing in front of him, which stimulated the memory in the back of his mind. For a time, countless game fragments related to Fang Lao emerged. Tang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and countless thoughts flashed. However, there is only one caught between the electric light and flint:

    According to the original game timeline, the capital base will soon fall, and it is impossible to be peaceful now, and there is still time to prepare for the celebration.

    Who changed the course of the story? There is only one answer, player!

    A large number of players have been put into this world, whether for survival or mission needs, they have prevented the spread of the zombie virus in the Chinese mainland to a certain extent, so the capital base can persist until now, Therefore, the research materials were successfully sent to the capital…

    All the clues seemed to converge at this moment. At this moment, Tang Xiao felt as if he saw something.

    Maybe it's the way to pass the level, or maybe it's the truth of this world. Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough to make her firmly believe in the direction she had chosen.

    This sense of determination even affected others, so much so that Colonel Feng was ultimately unable to dismiss her request to go out with the support troops.

    "I won't implicate anyone, and I don't need any troops from the army to protect me. I can sign a life and death certificate."

    Colonel Feng couldn't help laughing and laughing, and said: "What life and death situation... We are soldiers, this is our mission. But you are only a civilian at present, and we cannot give you the qualifications to cooperate with you until the Volunteer Army is officially formed. I'm not responsible for you."

    "There is no distinction between soldiers and civilians in the apocalypse. The base is not the Garden of Eden. The ability of zombies to protect themselves. And I have escaped from the corpse tide, at least I can confirm the difference between the two corpse tides.”

    "I believe the base needs this experience."

    Tang Xiao's tone was calm and calm, but it seemed that Colonel Feng was the one who made trouble.

    Colonel Feng: “…”

    He had to change his inherent perspective again and look at this little girl with a new look. Yes, how could he forget that she was the one who had traveled thousands of miles to bring back the research materials of the Starzhailing Base. At this moment, the celebration stage in the central square might be awarding medals to this girl. Because the protagonist was not present, she was temporarily handed in. Save for the staff. Tomorrow, or the day after, this medal will be delivered to her.

    He suppressed all his emotions and sighed, "I will report it, I can't make the decision alone."

    In fact, as the top leader of the city defense army, he can directly make the decision, but from another more personal emotion, he does not want that medal to be unable to be handed over to its owner in the end... Even if it's an ominous possibility.

    Ten minutes later, Colonel Feng watched Tang Xiao jump into the army carriage with a sullen face.

    Tang Xiao sat in the carriage and wiped the knife. The sunlight reflected a dazzling and sharp light on the blade of the knife. It was quickly recognized by some people that this was a rare fine product.

    A young soldier couldn't help but say, "Good knife!"

    Before joining the army, he was a rich second-generation, and usually likes to collect cold weapons, so it can be seen at a glance that the machete in Tang Xiao's hand is the best in both collection value and actual combat value. Kind of envious.

    Tang Xiao said lightly, "A gift from a friend."

    The young soldier's eyes immediately changed to sympathy. Such a good weapon is given to others... It can be seen that the "friend" is probably gone.

    Yes, the end of the world is coming, and the people closest to you may die overnight, even weak girls must learn to fight to the death with zombies, a sharp machete, in addition to piercing the enemy's head Besides, there is no other value.

    He reluctantly took out a pack of cranberry cheese biscuits and handed them over, hoping to give her more confidence and strength in the world.

    Tang Xiao: "…"

    The support team quickly passed the inspection and drove out of the base through the west gate. Tang Xiao has been a road idiot since he was a child, and now he can only barely recognize it. The south gate of the base is backed by a moat, and the only exit is a highway, which is the route they took when they came. Leaving from the west gate directly enters the fifth ring of the capital. Of course, the city has become a paradise for the infected, a steel forest that is almost hell.

    The last location where the last team fired was in a small mall. The soldiers moved quickly and cautiously close to the periphery of the mall, but did not find the shadow of the zombies. The bright sunlight shone on the ground, and the atmosphere was too peaceful.

    However, the lingering **** smell in the air clearly indicated that a fierce battle had taken place here.

    No one dared to take it lightly. After a preliminary investigation of the surrounding environment, they finally confirmed that the teammates waiting for support were in the mall. It's just that the signal that was continuously sent ten minutes ago has been completely truncated and disappeared.

    The team is divided into five teams, one team is guarding outside the mall, and the other four teams enter the three-story building from four directions.

    "Report, the investigation on the first floor has been completed, no infected person, no trace of survivors, and there are traces of fighting."

    "Report, the investigation on the second floor has been completed, there are no infected persons, no trace of survivors, and there are traces of fighting."

    "Report, the investigation on the third floor has been completed...no trace of fighting."

    Has the F team cleaned up the zombies in this building and evacuated?

    The code name of the team that issued the rescue request is F, and their rescue priority is very high, because there are not only soldiers in the team, but also the reserve leader of the Volunteer Army, Qiu Brown, and a very accomplished old man in the biological field. professor.

    Nowadays, there is a shortage of manpower, and the loss of a team of soldiers has caused angina in the military. There is even a big man in the institute who is considered a national treasure. Losing one can make the upper management vomit blood for three liters.

    Feng Jingdao pondered for a moment, and issued an order: "Team 1 and 2 search the first floor, focusing on checking whether there is an underground space. Team 3 and 4 re-search the third and fourth floors, and pay attention to the sound."

    The signal disappearing time is too short to evacuate so quickly, he firmly believes that the F team is still in this abandoned mall.

    Sure enough, five minutes later, the signal of Team F appeared again, and the location was still in the mall!

    At the same time, the second team reported in the communication channel: "Underground passage found! The southwest corner of the penultimate room on the west side of the first floor is covered by four circular iron plates, which are expected to serve three If people pass through at the same time, is it - enemy situation!"

    There was only a piercing buzzing sound in the communicator, which disappeared in an instant. And Feng Jingdao has already led his troops into the passage: "Team 1 and 3 all come with me, Team 4 is waiting for orders on the second floor, and Team 5 narrows the encirclement!"

    And the next second, the whole building began to hum and vibrate slightly, as if a silent dead thing was slowly resurrected, opening its **** mouth in the sound of crunching teeth—

    The ground is sinking!

      Issue a retreat order and fall down.

    Years of combat experience made him point the muzzle straight down for the first time, but there was only a thick and hideous, abyss-like dark black...

    Time seemed to be split into countless slow fragments under the highly tense spirit, so slow that he even saw countless steel needles pierced from the black ground—

    No, it's a steel thorn on the giant mutant tongue!

    The entire underground of the abandoned shopping mall is the mouthpart of giant mutants!

     "Boom!"

    The bullet shot out, hitting the hard mouthparts, bursting with sparks. Ordinary firearms do no damage at all unless bombarded.

    Faced with the attack of the mutants, they can't avoid it.

    Feng Jingdao bit his lip, but he didn't want to close his eyes, he wanted to die with his eyes open, because he was not reconciled.

     

    "His-"

    The howls of the mutants resounded through the ground, and at the same time, all the soldiers who fell were pushed back by the airflow and hit the walls or gravel, and none of them fell into the mutants' mouths!

    On a huge steel frame connecting the upper and lower floors, Tang Xiao stood coldly on it, with a huge black muzzle on his shoulders, the target was the mutant's mouthparts.

    "Long time no see."

    I don't know if this mutant recognized her, anyway, she has recognized this giant mutant, the one who forced her thunder and lightning ability out in Star City a month ago one.

    A month ago her only option was to run away, and now...she has a new option.
