When he got up in the morning, his throat felt very dry, Zhou Yun Sheng couldn't help but cough. Guo Zerui, Zhao Ling Feng, and Lei Chuan who were sorting things out stopped to stare at him, revealing expressions like they just saw a terrifying enemy, frightened.
"Doctor, what's wrong? Where are you uncomfortable? Whenever you feel uncomfortable, you must say it, don't endure it!" Zhao Ling Feng immediately walked over to assist, chattering endlessly. This was a trauma he brought from the last life, he was afraid to hear the doctor cough.
Lei Chuan was also flustered, he quickly walked over and placed his palm on the doctor's back, generously inputting his healing ability, but the doctor's face was still very pale, without the slightest improvement.
The physical weakness caused by the soul's damage couldn't be changed by any external force. "Thank you, but don't try to cure me. When I forced out the bloodvine, my spiritual power became irreversibly and incurably damaged."
Lei Chuan's body stiffened, he hadn't expected that things were even more serious than he'd imagined. What does it mean to be incurable? That means that the doctor, like the previous life, had to drag his frail body to do experiments around the clock, using up his life force to save humanity.
Even if he was reborn, some things have not changed. Lei Chuan's heart was pierced by a needle, by both endless remorse and fear. He couldn't watch the doctor fade away in front of him again.
"Who says there's no cure? When I rise to a higher level, I'll be able to cure you." He stroked the doctor's chaotic hair, his expression firm.
Guo Zerui and the others had quietly left during the conversation. As the culprit of the doctor's injury, he was afraid to casually stay in front of his boss. Now that he thought about it, from the day the boss reborn, he'd started sensing some hostility in his gaze, he'd thought he was overthinking it, but the explanation was right here.
So he could understand why he and Zhao Ling Feng treated the doctor like a three year-old child, it's a habit from the last life, born out of fear.
Lei Chuan helped the doctor wipe his face with hot water, he also removed a pack of instant noodles to boil, then he sat in front of the doctor eating his own biscuits, staring blankly, unblinkingly observing the other man.
Zhou Yun Sheng's hair stood on end under his staring, he didn't understand what Lei Chuan had in mind for him. Even knowing that he could develop the vaccine, was it necessary to be so attentive? Does he intend to dedicatedly win him over, use him, help him develop the vaccine, then kill him in revenge?
Zhou Yun Sheng's cluelessness was on par with Guo Zerui's, but he didn't feel afraid. As long as the research results fulfilled all of Bai Mo Han's wishes, he could immediately exit the world, whether it was natural death or homicide, it didn't matter. Anyway, the vaccine would've spread, the time until human salvation would advance by decades, fate will have completely deviated from its track, and he would get a delicious, full course energy dinner after the deviation.
There was nothing to lose.
While pondering, Zhou Yun Sheng finished his bowl of noodles, drank the hot soup, and contentedly patted his full stomach bulge
Lei Chuan saw him looking like a satisfied cat, and his gloomy mood was suddenly soothed a lot, he draped a thick coat over his shoulders, then habitually hooped his arm around his thin waist while walking out.
Because too many people fled in panic, the concentration of zombies on the high-ways was always more, the country's major high-ways all had different degrees of damage or blockage. But contrary to expectations, the national road actually had the best traffic flow, only the not so fortunate survivors couldn't escape. But their vehicles had heavy armor, a tool to open up the road.
There were armored vehicles in front of the convoy and a tank as a guard, it looked very breathtaking. The soldiers sat on the roof of the trucks, guns at the ready to get rid of zombies or mutant beasts, their expressions were very relaxed, some even cracked a few jokes.
However, the leisure didn't last long, part of the bridge had collapsed, the road was cut in half. Before the Apocalypse, if a road was under construction you could just use GPS to find another road or ask directions, as long as there was no accident, you could always get home safely. After the Apocalypse, the amount of powerful forces that were annihilated after getting lost was countless, those with a little luck sometimes reached their destination, but they weren't unscathed.
The more twisty and complicated the travel, the more unpredictable the danger, the current situation was bad news for everyone.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" Guo Zerui shook the torn map. They certainly had to change roads, but the question was which road. The car navigation system couldn't be used, so they could only rely on a map. However, most maps found in the bookstores were long outdated, and many roads were not even shown at all.
Leaving the state highway and taking an unmarked road was equivalent to walking blind, they could only rely on a compass to identify their general direction, but any danger they could encounter was unknown.
There was another worry, with the benefit of rebirth, Guo Zerui knew that in another one or two days there would be a large-scale meteorite rain over China, some as small as eggs, some large enough to weigh hundreds of kilograms. If the convoy was still trapped on the national road, they would certainly be smashed to a pulp, not to mention, their trucks contained copious amounts of highly explosive weaponries.
So, it was imperative to quickly enter the city, and find a strong enough, large enough shelter for their team to take refuge.
Lei Chuan and Zhao Ling Feng also thought of the meteorite rain, their expressions turned worried. A small town or village would not provide enough shelter, they must find a large building in the city to park.
The three reborn people looked at each other, because they had tacit knowledge of the impending danger, they put aside the other people and went into a corner to discuss, but after half-a-day there was still no result.
Guo Zerui wanted the Metal and Earth Warriors to fix the bridge together, but it was only 6 months into the Apocalypse, most of the team's ability was at most level-2, they had no force. This proposal was too optimistic.
Lei Chuan and Zhao Ling Feng decided to change roads, but one wanted to go left, the other wanted to go back a few kilometers to a fork in the road they passed, a short dispute started.
Guo Zerui checked the map over and over again, but found that they were just out of the map's scope, where could they find a new map in the middle of nowhere?
"Ask the team if anyone's from Shu Prefecture, maybe they'll know where to go." Lei Chuan made a suggestion.
Guo Zerui immediately left to ask.
As more and more accessible highway networks were built, this national road became a deserted road as early as 10 years ago, all the residents had also moved away, so everywhere was very desolate. The soldiers were questioned several times, they even found a few Shu Prefecture locals, but shockingly, no one knew where to go.
Those who were not sure didn't dare to offer suggestions, afraid they'd meet danger on the road and bring harm to everyone and themselves.
Seeing the dejected soldiers, Guo Zerui started to cold sweat. The superiority he'd felt from getting a head start on everyone with his rebirth was finally destroyed by unpredictable fate. He should've realized sooner, even if you know the great events that will happen in the future, it doesn't mean there will only be smooth sailing.
Danger can occur anytime, anywhere, maybe they would die earlier than in their previous life because they left B Base.
"Boss, pick a way and gamble. If we only find a small village or town, we can always have the Space Warriors store the weapons, we can't give up. When the meteorites rain down, we humans can hide, but the trucks and weapons can't hide, maybe they'll explode." Guo Zerui gritted his teeth, his expression looked unwilling.
The weapons were enough to supply a ten thousand man army, if they weren't forced into a corner, who would be willing to give up such power.
Zhao Ling Feng touched the armored vehicle behind him, distressed, this was the first time he didn't refute his words.
Lei Chuan considered for a moment, and was about to nod, but saw the doctor that was lying on the window to rest wake up, he rubbed his eyes and ignorantly asked, "Why aren't we moving?"
"The bridge is broken, we can't get to Y city tonight. We have to change roads but the map isn't marked. We don't know the roads, so we're discussing our options." Lei Chuan briefly explained and walked over to touch the doctor's forehead to see if he had a fever.
Zhou Yun Sheng leaned back in the seat and calmly opened, "Oh, that's it? If there's no map, use GPS ah."
"The network receiving stations were almost destroyed by the zombies, GPS can't be used." Guo Zerui felt a headache at the doctor's lack of common sense. It seemed that the Apocalypse hasn't affected the doctor's good life, otherwise, he wouldn't be so ignorant of the outside world.
As a top hacker, having no computers was equivalent to streaking, so Zhou Yun Sheng didn't forget to make Zhao Ling Feng help him get some of the best performing laptops that were not damaged by zombies, and he'd made several small portable signal receivers.
He took out the computer from his backpack, connected it to the signal receiver, and quickly moved his fingers, his speed enough to cause a blur.
"Doctor, are you invading the defense satellite system?" The tech officer Xiao Li, nicknamed '180 IQ genius', who was responsible for cracking the password before, now had bulging eyes as he asked a startling question.
The national defense satellites could directly control the launch stations of China's major missile bases, only the military's top commanders and national leaders had access to the system's secret key. And in order to prevent hacks, the system's security measures were protected by the country's top information engineers, it was impregnable, unbreakable.
However, the defense satellite system that once made Xiao Li bow in worship was now like a layer of toilet paper, in less than a minute, the doctor stabbed through it.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked casually.
