Wild Journey

In the afternoon of the next day, the empire issued another mission to find the source of interference. The mercenary group could choose on their own. Except for Mu Han and others, the other mercenary groups chose to stay. Mu Han was very surprised and asked Yu Qing why.

Yu Qing: "It's a lot of money to find the source of interference."

Mu Han was shaken on the spot, Si Yuan immediately stretched out his hand to grab the corner of Mu Han's clothes, shaking and shaking pitifully: "You promised!"

Mu Han had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, go and escort, that's fine."

Si Yuan said yes, and ran to pack his things.

The train departed from Dongcheng Station in the district city, and only one car was open for boarding. Due to the high degree of confidentiality of the mission, everything was kept simple. There were only six cars. The crew was in the first car, and Dr. Chris was in the second car. , the third section stores weapons, the last three sections are resting places for army soldiers and mercenaries, and Feng Yao's base vehicle is exceptionally placed in the fifth section.

When boarding the car, you have to go through a strict security check. In addition to checking the carry-on items, there is also a blood sample check to prevent the snake man from pretending to mix into the crowd.The flight attendant arrived first and was carrying out inspections. Feng Yao followed the team and took two steps forward. After waiting for half a moment, Gu Xiao did not follow, so he turned around and called, "Let's go."

Gu Xiao was looking elsewhere, and only recovered after hearing Feng Yao's voice, the hesitation between his brows persisted.Feng Yao looked in the direction Gu Xiao was looking at, but only saw the long line behind him, he asked inexplicably, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Gu Xiao said nonchalantly.

While waiting for the security check, Feng Yao looked around boredly. He found that there were nearly a hundred soldiers accompanying him, and he couldn't help wondering: "Don't you want to keep it simple?" He thought that this mission didn't need such a big fanfare at all, "Why send so many people?"

Mu Han had heard some inside stories, and he preached to Feng Yao: "The leader is the youngest son of the commander-in-chief of the empire, who sneaked out to fight zombies, and the task this time is not only to escort Dr. Chris, they also have to go back. "

Hearing this, Feng Yao took a second look at the officer.

The officer was good-looking, he looked young, and his military rank was already very high. He leaned sideways beside the fence, looking like a tree facing the wind, but his temperament was too cold, and he felt a sense of alienation that was beyond human.

Just looking at it, Feng Yao's eyes were blocked.

Gu Xiao held Feng Yao in front of him: "Don't look."

Feng Yao couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you a vinegar essence?"

Gu Xiao said calmly: "Yes."

Feng Yao: "..."

There were many things last night, Feng Yao didn't have a good rest, he wanted to sleep when he got on the train, he and Gu Xiao occupied a row of seats, put down all the armrests, then lay down and pillowed on Gu Xiao's lap, Gu Xiao took off his coat , on Feng Yao's body.

The exhaustion from insomnia all night turned into defenseless laziness in An Yi's embrace. Facing the warm sunlight, Feng Yao squinted his eyes comfortably, like a cat basking in the sun.Then the train started slowly, and the carriage swayed gently, like a soft hypnotic cradle. Feng Yao turned over and fell into a drowsy sleep.

When his consciousness was chaotic, Feng Yao felt that Gu Xiao moved his head outward.

Feng Yao was about to fall asleep, and Gu Xiao's movement disturbed his drowsiness. He snorted unhappily, and moved back as if deliberately confronting Gu Xiao, and moved forward even more vigorously.

Looking back, Xiao didn't move him anymore, but pushed his head over.

Feng Yao opened his eyes, and saw the trouser chain close at hand.

Feng Yao: "..."

Gu Xiao: "Are you still moving, go further?"

"Are you annoying?" Feng Yao was speechless, and a little bit annoyed. He pinched Gu Xiao's leg hard, turned his face away, and ignored him.

Gu Xiao squeezed Feng Yao's face casually, Feng Yao put his hand on the back of his hand, put it on his eyebrows, covered the light, and fell asleep.

In the second car.

Si Yuan graduated three or four years ago, and he hasn't seen Dr. Chris for a long time, but the relationship is not unfamiliar. After a few words of pleasantries, Si Yuan cut to the chase and brought up DIN1.

Chris: "I heard about it a few years ago, in Block E."

Si Yuan's expression darkened slightly, but Chris said as usual: "The World Health and Security Association once warned Area E, because they have repeatedly researched level-[-] viruses without approval, but because they have not caused virus leaks and large-scale outbreaks. The death incident, so it has not been publicly punished."

Si Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Do you believe that District E did it?"

"Of course, I know about the situation in District E." Chris didn't take it seriously, "Besides, did the administrative building burn down just by ordinary people? It's obvious that they are using arson to cover up the facts. Besides, if it really is So many people died because of you, I believe the alliance will not give up hunting you so easily, the only reason is that they have a guilty conscience, and you were just a tool at that time."

It is such a simple truth, but few people think about it. People are more inclined to believe high-sounding lies. Anyway, the matter has nothing to do with themselves.

Si Yuan laughed at himself, with mixed feelings for a while, Chris didn't go on talking, he chatted: "Do you still remember the school training?"

Si Yuan: "There must be courage in the face of illness and compassion for others. To promote human development, we must not give up responsibility, enthusiasm and conscience."

Chris nodded with relief: "You are a kind child, I believe you will not rashly use human body for experiments without being sure."

When Si Yuan heard this, his heart felt warm, and he also laughed.

Back to the topic, Chris said: "Speaking of which, the reason why the research results were so fast this time should be due to you."

Si Yuan didn't quite understand, and Chris said again, "After you talked about DIN1 with me last time, I checked the information and tried to do research. The purpose of DIN1 is to optimize human genes, but the actual effect is not satisfactory , I want to know where the problem is. It can be regarded as laying the foundation for the current research."

Si Yuan: "Is there any progress now?"

Chris: "Sure, and I'm sure you'll be interested."

Si Yuan said he was all ears, and Chris said: "Snake people have no rejection reaction to DIN1 at all. Their genes enable them to better accept DIN1 and complete gene optimization—"

The door rang suddenly, and the flight attendant came pushing the dining car.

Chris stopped the conversation and smiled politely at the flight attendant. The flight attendant smiled back, handed out lunch boxes and drinks, and left for the next carriage.

The drink was at hand, and Si Yuan wanted to open it for Chris, but Chris waved his hand and said, "Leave it alone, I have a sore throat, and I've been drinking tea recently."

Si Yuan paused and put down his drink: "You should pay more attention to your body."

"I'm getting old, there's nothing I can do. There's always been a shortage of educational talents in the School of Biochemistry, and the teaching is quite interesting. I'm an old man, so I can do more meaningful things while I can walk around. That's better than anything else." Chris smiled, didn't take it seriously, and asked Si Yuan, "Any plans for the future?"

Si Yuan hadn't thought about the future, and was a little confused when asked.

Chris asked: "Have you thought about going back to school for further education?"

Returning from the thrilling and exciting mercenary career to a stable and ordinary life, Si Yuan felt that it was unreal, but he had no idea which one he would prefer: "I haven't decided yet, maybe in the future."

Chris: "I can take you with me before I leave."

Si Yuan thought about it well, so he didn't talk too much, and joked: "I haven't played enough, I want to see the world and decide how to live in the future."

Chris smiled helplessly: "Young man."

With a few gags, Chris said: "Where did I just say? Snake people have no rejection of DIN1, right?"

Si Yuan learned about this from Feng Yao a long time ago, so he was not surprised: "So you went to Area X this time, do you want to improve DIN1 by studying the reason why snake people don't have rejection reactions?"

Chris: "I'm really interested in this direction, but now is not the time for research. This trip to Area X was ordered by the state, and the state's goal is snake people and war, not DIN1. DIN1 is a biological weapon for snake people , has a great impact on this war, so it has been taken seriously. My task is to find a way to target DIN1 to resist the snake people."

Si Yuan frowned and said, "Gene modification is irreversible. It can only suppress the disease according to individual conditions, but that is too difficult."

"Yeah, that's basically impossible, so I thought of something else," Chris said. "I called the project 'Combating Viruses.'"

Si Yuan took a closer look at the name of the project, and had some clues. Chris briefly explained the content of the plan and the manufacturing ideas of key reagents for Si Yuan, and concluded: "In general, it is the commonality when transforming individuals according to DIN1. To create targeted drugs to deprive infected people of their abilities."

Si Yuan thought carefully about Chris's plan, and the more he thought about it, the more subtle it became. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Can precise deprivation be done?"

"This is exactly what I've been thinking about recently." Chris also frowned. "Now we can only achieve complete defeat, which will directly lead to death. But life is equal, unless it is a last resort, I don't want to do this."

Although they said this, they all knew that the war was imminent and the research time was tight. The empire might not wait for Chris's research results. Whether it was biochemical weapons or anti-biochemical weapons, killing was inevitable.

The atmosphere was dull for a while, Chris took out a thermos from his bag to drink water, and said: "There is another problem. So far, all theories are based on the premise that we have found the antigen, but In fact, how to combine them in the body needs further discussion."

Si Yuan murmured: "Specific binding..."

"Yes, it would be great if I had the DIN1 antibody." Chris said, "Specifically, I have to wait until I return to the research institute to make plans—"

Si Yuan took out a reagent from the medical box.

Chris asked, "What's this?"

Si Yuan replied, "It's antibodies."

Feng Yao stayed up all night last night. He was extremely sleepy and slept deeply. Not only could he not hear the movement of the train, he didn't even notice Gu Xiao's departure.

Gu Xiao got up and went to the bathroom.

This train is relatively high-end. The bathroom is a separate space at the rear of the carriage. It is exquisitely decorated and clean. There is a spacious mirror at the entrance and a washbasin below. Gu Xiao is washing his hands with his head down. After being pushed away, there was a sound of military boots stepping on the floor, calm and powerful.

Gu Xiao raised his eyes and looked in the mirror.

The officer stood at the door, looking at Gu Xiao through the mirror.

In just a few seconds, many emotions flashed in his eyes, from the probing and verification before seeing Gu Xiao, to disbelief, and finally he was stunned. He stood still and said Gu Xiao's name .

Gu Xiao was very indifferent: "Long time no see, Cen Yu."

Cen Yu stopped at the door, still in great shock, and slowly returned to calm after a long time, he said: "I thought..."

Cen Yu didn't continue.

The two were silent for a while, and he said in a hoarse voice, "13 years."

Gu Xiao answered for him, "You thought I was dead."

"The rebels set fire to it and burned it for two days and two nights. We searched for a long time, but we didn't find your body." After Cen Yu finished speaking, he explained to Gu Xiao, "The situation at that time was very pessimistic. The leader of the rebel army was very cunning. The higher-ups wanted to catch them all, so the order was to lure the enemy first. My father was restricted and his troops were emptied. When he arrived again, it was too late. Your parents..."

Cen Yu didn't want to expose Gu Xiao's scars, so he cut off the conversation hastily, observing Gu Xiao's expression, and at the same time looking for a tactful and suitable way to say it, but Gu Xiao remained expressionless, Cen Yu frowned heroically, and spoke for a long time, In the end, he chose to avoid the matter of Gu Xiao's parents, and he said, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me." Gu Xiao calmly stopped the water, paused and said, "You are not the one who should apologize."

"We are very sorry about your parents. My father took care of the funeral. The emperor also went to the funeral. My father originally wanted to raise you." Cen Yu paused, "I have been looking for you for a long time, but..."

The Cen family has always felt guilty about the past.Father Cen and Father Gu are very good friends, but when Father Gu asked him for the last chance of survival, Father Cen was powerless, even unable to save Father Gu's wife and children.

Gu Xiao didn't know what his parents thought, but he always felt that as a vital figure in the empire, even if he was restricted and emptied out, he shouldn't be unable to mobilize troops at all, but he didn't say it because he knew that in this Many things in the world are based on love and duty, and he can't blame anything.

Cen Yu asked, "So, how did you escape?"

Gu Xiao didn't argue, Cen Yu saw that he didn't want to answer, and didn't press the question any further, he just smiled: "I'm glad to know you're still alive, Gu Xiao."

"I'm also very happy to survive." Gu Xiao said lightly.

The new character, Cen Yu, is probably set up with a high-cold appearance and a domineering (?) heart.
