16 years

It took a while before Liu Ruosong arrived, Fu Yan and He Feng left the detention center one after the other, and stood resting on the balcony at the end of the corridor.

He Feng shared a cigarette from Fu Yan, Fu Yan thought about it, and reached out to take it.

"I've been in the military for so many years, and I've seen [-] or [-] people who are insane." He Feng said, "But a mountain is still higher than a mountain, so there's no reason to go."

Fu Yan hummed.

Fu Yan is not a talkative person, he is often like this, and He Feng didn't think he was cold, and then said: "When I saw that unlucky cultivation area, I was disgusted enough, and later Tangtang asked me why I was unhappy, and I couldn't help it. I don't know how to explain it to her."

"She may not be unable to react." Fu Yan said: "It's just that you are by her side when you are not in war, so she didn't think so much all at once."

He Feng sighed softly.

"I hope she doesn't know so much." He Feng said: "I didn't approve of her joining the army before, but now that I think about it, I'm a little lucky—although the danger is high, at least I can protect myself."

He Feng seldom talked about his personal affairs. Normally, at such times, no matter how unspoken Fu Yan was, he would talk to him more or less.

But this time for some reason, Fu Yan didn't speak.

He Feng waited for a while, but there was no reaction from him, so he couldn't help but glanced sideways at him, only to realize that Fu Yan was staring into the distance in a daze.

He stood very straight, his back stretched into a line, his eyes looked beyond the outline of the dark building outside, and fell on a certain point in nothingness.

Fu Yan's attention didn't seem to be here. He was immersed in a certain state of concentration, and his reaction to the outside world became a little slow.

He Feng frowned indistinctly.

Fu Yan shouldn't be distracted at this time—he has always been vigilant, and his long military career has allowed him to develop the ability to focus on multiple tasks. Even when he is thinking about problems, he will pay attention to observe the surroundings and listen to new ideas. Intelligence, not so obvious as it is now.

He Feng suddenly remembered what He Tang had said to him before.

Although Major He is sometimes dull, but most of the time he is as keen as metaphysics.He Feng paid attention to Fu Yan from the corner of his eye, and felt that she seemed to be right.

Something happened to Fu Yan that he didn't know about, and it had already affected him.

"Captain." He Feng called him.

Fu Yan's attention was drawn back by the key words, he withdrew his gaze from the darkness in the distance, and landed on He Feng again.

"He Feng." Fu Yan said, "When He Tang was going to join the army, how did you react?"

"Of course I don't agree." He Feng said: "It's fine for the family to defend the country alone. Two children come together. If one day one accidentally dies in the line of duty, it will directly cause double damage. The risk is too great."

"...That's it?" Fu Yan said, "What else?"

"Anything else?" He Feng was stunned for a while, a little unresponsive.

Fu Yan has never been the kind of person who is willing to listen to gossip and tabloids from his parents. He Feng has known him for so many years, but he has never heard him ask people about their personal affairs.

He Feng's expression became serious, he thought about it, and said: "Also...we had a quarrel, and I was so angry that I didn't want to talk to her, and she was also angry, and the cat was crying in the room. My parents finished coaxing this To coax that, I was a peacemaker all afternoon, and in the evening I cooked sweet and sour carp to coax that little greedy cat."

He Feng said while paying attention to Fu Yan's expression: "But I didn't screw her up afterwards—oh, by the way, we quarreled that day and accidentally broke a music box. I bought it for her, and she felt distressed. for several days."

This narration was detailed and private, Fu Yan nodded and did not continue to ask.

Fu Yan's eyes returned to the night, he pointed to the direction of the cross-sea bridge, and asked casually, "What's wrong over there?"

He Feng glanced in the direction of his finger, and found that the originally bright blue sea-crossing bridge was half extinguished, and the faint light of the fluorescent light strip was suddenly cut off in the night, and the outline could not be seen clearly in the haze.

"The light strip is being repaired." He Feng said, "That light strip seems to be a consumable item and needs to be replaced regularly."

From the corner of his eyes, He Feng saw that Fu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"Captain." He Feng's tone was low, and he said seriously, "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Yan pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's okay."

He Feng frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little disbelieving.

But Fu Yan didn't explain anything, he reached out and patted He Feng's shoulder, and squeezed it hard.

He is not good at words, and most of the time he doesn't know what he is thinking. He Feng understands him and is used to his way of doing things.

He knew that this was what Fu Yan didn't want him to ask, so He Feng didn't ask any more, and decided to give the space to Fu Yan himself.

While talking, Liu Ruosong happened to rush over from the laboratory building. He hurriedly met Fu Yan, looked at him from top to bottom as usual, confirmed that he looked good and had a full beard. Back to the interrogation room.

As a researcher, Liu Ruosong had his own focus of inquiry. Fu Yan didn't bother him, but simply waited outside the interrogation room.

Liu Ruosong stayed inside for six hours, and when he came out, he looked solemn and his steps were a little shaky.Fu Yan held him up, and dug into Liu Ruosong's pocket to find a stick of oral glucose drink.

"It's about the same as I guessed." After drinking the glucose, Liu Ruosong's complexion improved a little: "Those mutants are not fully mutated humans. They were not naturally infected by the zombie virus, but were injected with some kind of medicine first, and then used The zombie virus 'hanged' his life."

"What do you mean?" Fu Yan whispered, "Didn't you use medicine to transform your physique first?"

"First, they were injected with some kind of medicine, and then they had a genetic reaction with the medicine, and then they were artificially infected with the zombie virus in the dying state." Liu Ruosong said: "The medicine and the zombie virus have reached a certain balance, so they At the same time of zombification, a little bit of human instinct is retained—I don’t know how many experiments Joe Eden did to achieve this balance.”

"Also, I want to do an experiment." Liu Ruosong said.

"What?" Fu Yan asked.

"I want to see if these 'reproducers' recognize their queens," Liu Ruosong said.

The conjecture Liu Ruosong wanted to verify was simple. He put the mutated zombies he brought back into the room where Irene was held, to see if they would have any special behavior.

It turned out that these mutated zombies with only a little activity in their brain nerves had a surprisingly strong reaction to Irene. They seemed to instinctively surrender to a certain gene, and they were also afraid of Irene's existence.

In such a large detention room, they only dared to wander in the corner farthest from Irene.

Outside the monitoring screen, Fu Yan stared at the scene inside for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll try it too."

"Try what?" Liu Ruosong grabbed him.

"I'll try to see if they respond to all special constitutions, or only respond to semi-zombified genes." Fu Yan said.

"No." Liu Ruosong disagreed, "It's too dangerous, you are not allowed to go."

"But--"

"No but." Liu Ruosong's attitude was very firm: "I've thought about it. If the transforming agents are really divided into different batches and have different effects, then Yueyue is likely to inject this batch of drugs. She can rely on' Smell's recognition of you should be the same as their recognition of Irene."

"For Joe Eden, either, he doesn't care about the state of the 'worker ants', whether they are humans or zombies, as long as they can reproduce and grow." Liu Ruosong said: "Or, he originally planned to use medicines on a large scale. Screen the 'worker ant reserve', and then spread the virus at the right time, so as to achieve the goal of transforming all human beings."

Now it seems that the latter is more likely.

Joe Eden made the most perfect arrangement for his Garden of Eden - this population must have the supreme "god", as well as believers who believe in them, and finally "worker ants" who unconditionally dedicate themselves to him and serve as his weapons.

"Joe Eden himself, the humans who were sheltered by him or survived by medicine, and more zombies." Liu Ruosong said: "This is the class he created."

The party in City D, they finally solved the secrets that they hadn't delved into in their previous life, and completely tore apart the flesh and puppets buried under the lie of "creating gods".

This is a good thing for Liu Ruosong, because the more Joe Aiden is exposed, the more chips he has in his hand.

"Is there any such potion in the research institute?" Fu Yan asked.

"Brother, you've got the point." Liu Ruosong rolled his eyes and said, "There's one last copy of the original."

Fu Yan's heart trembled, even if he was such a person who couldn't show his emotions and anger, he couldn't help showing a little joy.

This potion is not the Garden of Eden No. [-] that Liu Ruosong was looking for, but for Liu Ruosong, it is already a big gain.

This medicine may have originated from Eden One, or it may have originated from Irene herself, but no matter where it came from, it will bring more clues, allowing Liu Ruosong to tear out more truths along this opening.

"The conditions here in the Military Region of C Department are not enough." Liu Ruosong said, "Brother, what Number One means is that we should return to Yan City as soon as possible."

If you want to do further research, it is best to go back to Yancheng.

Both Lu Li and Yue Yue were in Yancheng, Liu Ruosong didn't want to use Fu Yan as a control experiment, so he could only find a solution from them.

This time when he came to D city, Liu Ruosong had accumulated too many samples in his hands, and he was eager to find the connection between these samples, so as to construct Joe Eden's vast network that had been accumulated for many years.

But he was very worried, very afraid that Fu Yan would not adapt to the life in Yancheng.

After all, what happened last time is still vivid in his mind, not to mention Fu Yan, when Liu Ruosong thought of going back, he felt uncertain.

But to his surprise, Fu Yan accepted this matter well, and he didn't even have any resistance.

"Then go back." Fu Yan said, "Leave tomorrow morning."
