Bai Leshui: "Pearson and others should have arrived in the town. Let's take a detour to the church first. Avoid meeting other people." The other people mentioned here naturally refer to the infected and uninfected residents.
This proposal was approved by everyone.
The way back went quite smoothly. They successfully avoided some people and only encountered a few people who were alone. Most of the people here were frightened and uneasy by the sudden outbreak of the 'plague', they also lost their residence for various reasons, they wandered outside uneasily, then suddenly found a few strangers. The timid ones ran away directly, they had long since lost the courage to resist. The bold ones recognized Bai Leshui as Green and wanted revenge, but were killed by Karl & co.
Gradually, Bai Leshui felt that maybe he had seen too many terrible scenes, he was not afraid of such scenes anymore.
It could also be because it was dark now, it was hard to see blood and corpses clearly.
All in all, the journey to the church went smoothly.
Just as Bai Leshui guessed, the main door of the church was not open. He directed Rong Zheng to push him to the back, which was the small door through which he sneaked into the church.
This side was locked with a chain from the inside, there was only a gap that could be pushed open. Through the gap, you could see the doorkeeper inside. When the guard saw that the people knocking on the door were the Green & co who were sent on a mission, they happily opened the door and let them in.
After Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng set out to find Fast, Pearson led his people and quickly occupied the church. There were not many priests in the church, so it was easy to occupy it.
When Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui entered the main hall of the church, they saw that the Virgin's statue in the main hall had been smashed to pieces, and the so-called pool containing holy water was being used by Pearson to soak his feet.
Several people were sitting or standing there, most of whom they had met before, although Bai Leshui couldn't name them. Only one person looked unfamiliar.
She was the beautiful woman with blond curly hair and a smile on her face who was standing next to Hasen and talking to him cordially.
The woman looked happy when she saw Bai Leshui. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Bai Leshui, giving him a kiss: "It's great to see you come here safely, Green. In the past, in order not to be discovered in the town, I had to pretend that I didn't have a good relationship with you. But this was all for our plan. It's all because of your efforts that we've reached this point. I'm so happy."
Bai Leshui gently pushed the woman away. He guessed the identity of the woman in front of him. The woman who had always been mysterious and barely showed her face, but who took the lead in planning the resistance plan - Ann.
"I'm so sorry, the mission failed," Bai Leshui said apologetically, "I let them escape."
Pearson's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and jumped off the pool: "Escaped? You said Fast? I can't believe that you who hate him the most let him escape. I just said you should bring more people with you, as long as that guy is alive, there will always be hidden dangers in our goal of destroying the world..."
"Pearson." Ann waved his hand and said to Bai Leshui with a smile, "I guessed it. He is a cunning guy. No matter how addicted he is to experiments, as long as his life is at stake, he will never be careless. Maybe he might have discovered what we were trying to do back then, otherwise other time are not good, but it happened to be the day before I move my hand, he was going home to visit relatives ne."
As for why he didn't report it, he must have had his own purpose.
But seeing as he has managed to survive in that kind place for so long, it may be that his purpose has not been fulfilled ba.
The other side.
On the road leaving town.
Nicole drove the car on the road to escape the town, but the car only drove halfway, before he could see the main road where he came from, the car slowly stopped.
He looked down and saw that the fuel tank was empty.
"This is impossible!" Nicole exclaimed, "It was still full when we came here ne!"
"Should have been released ba." Da Yang walked over, took a look, and said casually, "It seems that the other party doesn't want us to leave here."
"No, we have to leave." Fast had been sitting in the car sorting out the latest germ research findings. He immediately stood up and refuted after hearing Da Yang's words.
"There are too few things here. I need more experimental equipment. They are really capable. I never thought that germ could be cultivated in that direction. But this is not enough. This is just..."
Before Fast finished his excited words, Nicole suddenly stood up, grabbed Fast by the collar and roared: "It's time to give up your damn research ma. Just because of your damn things, Emily, Tom and others they will...will...everything is you all's fault, so go to hell ba."
As he said that, he picked up something on the ground and threw it at Fast's head. The momentum was so fierce like he was going to kill someone.
Fast was not one to be beaten honestly. He turned aside and dodged. Not only that, he also took the thing from Nicole's hand. Don't underestimate him as an experimenter. Not every guy standing in lab won't work out.
Not only could Fast fight, he was also quite good at it. He quickly knocked down Nicole, suppressed him and said coldly: "Boy, don't underestimate me. In that experiment, I personally suppressed many disobedient test subjects. Otherwise, how could I live until today?"
Nicole's cheeks were red with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He set his sights on Da Yang and others, then found to his disappointment that Da Yang was lowering his head thinking about something. Chu Wenhai scratched his head not knowing what to do, whether to help, but the woman who called herself Aunt Ming was looking at the stars outside the window in boredom.
Life and death crisis, in this kind of situation, the attitude of these people is really too indifferent, as if the crisis here has nothing to do with them.
They are unreliable.
This thought came to Nicole's mind and he said to Fast viciously: "You should die earlier ba, scum."
After speaking, he spat.
Fast was not angry, but instead laughed out loud. He raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I am a scum, a scum who would not be pitied even after dying a hundred times. But now, the fate of saving the world rests with me. Even if you hate me, as long as you don't want this world to perish, you'd better be more polite to me."
Nicole snorted coldly and refused to accept these words. He only regarded Fast as a madman.
Da Yang felt a little more energetic and said, "Can you explain it in detail ma?"
Fast let go of Nicole's suppression. Seeing that this person didn't mean to cause trouble for him, he picked up the report, shook it and said: "I have carefully studied the new germ you brought me. It is a variant of the germ I developed previously. This thing is highly contagious and has strong reproductive capacity. It can be spread in the air, in liquids, and can be spread through the blood of any host, including birds, chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, and sheep. The fatality rate is high. But the worst thing is its variability. This thing can split 100 million times in ten days, and there is a 30% chance of mutating. The concentrated medicine can even cause infection just by contact. More terrifying than poison. Moreover, this thing can withstand high temperatures and strong cold. It is difficult to kill."
Da Yang: "Isn't that invincible?"
Fast smiled: "It's not invincible. As long as there is a corresponding vaccine and the body is a little stronger, it is easy to become immune to this thing."
Chu Wenhai asked: "What is it?"
"An acid produced in the body of fire ants." Fast said, "But this thing can only withstand more than ten hours. It can't withstand many things."
Fire ants.
Chu Wenhai trio looked at each other and immediately thought of Rong Zheng who was unlucky enough to be bitten by ants.
Speaking of which, he has not been sick so far. Da Yang always thought he found the vaccine in the sanatorium, but now it seems that is not the case. That person may not have been infected in the first place.
Da Yang: "So if you are bitten by this ant in advance, even if you are exposed to germs later, you will not be infected."
Fast nodded: "Yes, but that thing only takes effect for a dozen hours, no more. However, if the bite is swollen, the poison will exists in the body for a short period of time, then you can be immune for a longer period of time. But it only works if you are bitten before coming into contact with the pathogen. There are very few such coincidences in this world."
Da Yang said nothing, Chu Wenhai laughed awkwardly.
Don't say, it really does exist.
Moreover, both arms, who were biten, were densely covered with pimples. If not wrong, the bites have not completely gone away yet.
After Fast finished speaking, he also remembered something: "Speaking of which, that guy was bitten on his arm." But at that time, he didn't think much about it at all.
"Your previous hope of saving the world is in your hands." Da Yang asked, "Do you know how to develop the corresponding antidote ma?"
"I probably know, but I can't say for sure." Fast stretched out his finger, "Give me three years, I'm 80% sure."
Nicole sneered: "Only 80%, and it will take another three years."
Fast glared: "Do you think it is so easy to develop an antidote ma? Do you think it is so easy to develop a vaccine ma? Even if you have an idea in your mind, you don't need a lot of experiments and calculations a. Even if it is slightly wrong, that medicine will not meant to save people, but kill people."
Nicole: "Hmph, the people you killed are not few ma?"
Fast chuckled: "It's not few. But at least I don't want to kill everyone in the world."
Nicole: "If it weren't for you guys, they wouldn't have done what they did."
Fast: "Yeah, it's all our fault. So now, we will make up for it."
Da Yang: "You guys? Who else? Who are you going to find when you leave here?"
Fast: "Find someone who invests in developing this research. Only he has the money and can withstand so many experiments."
Nicole: "You're basically creating a new disaster."
Fast raised his chin proudly: "I am saving the world from the hands of the devil. I am the savior and God!"
Nicole was so angry that he couldn't speak. He turned around and pulled out the suitcase, leaving his belongings and all the supplies inside, as well as a lot of food. He actually wanted to leave here alone.
Chu Wenhai asked worriedly: "Where are you going?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as it is far away from this madman and this town as possible!"
Da Yang: "Do you know how long it takes to get to the nearest inhabited place from this town ma?"
Nicole's movements froze, he squatted on the spot hesitantly.
Although he didn't drive, it was Hasen who showed the way when they got here. Emily also said that she was worried about taking the wrong way and asked Nicole to keep an eye, making sure they didn't make a mistake. Although even if they go wrong, they can still drive back.
If he remember correctly, it took more than two hours to drive here after filling up gas from the nearest town.
During this two-hour journey, he did not see any other inhabited places.
So, how long does he need to walk to reach the two-hour drive ne?
Don't know if three days is enough.
After taking a look at the food and water in the package, it was a bit difficult to last three days.
Not to mention whether he would encounter any trouble within these three days.
Nicole didn't dare to think about it. Finally, he threw away the package, sat down on the ground, and asked, "What should I do? You tell me."
Da Yang: "Find a way to get some gasoline, only then we can leave here." Although he doesn't know if this copy allows them to leave here. But for now, protecting Fast's safety is a mission requirement, and this is their only clue and trail at the moment.
Nicole: "Where can we get gasoline in such a backward place?"
As soon as these words came out, Da Yang was also in trouble. Finally, Aunt Ming said: "I saw an old car not far behind the church. There should be some there ba."
At this time, Fast also reminded: "There is gasoline stored in the church basement. That place was used by people here and the superiors to deliver news in and out of the town."
Da Yang lowered his eyes: "Then... we can only steal it."
"It's a good idea to go secretly." Fast said, "You have to avoid everyone. Wait, I will draw you a map of the town."
After speaking, he pulled out a piece of paper, took out a pen, and drew a hook. A dot is placed on the end of the hook, which looks like an inverted question mark. Next to the question mark, a thin line is drawn on the edge.
"This is the church." Fast said, pointing to the dot. Then he pointed to the circle circled by the hook and said, "This is the square."
"There is a small road behind the square where you can pass quietly." Fast said.
Chu Wenhai stared at the extremely simple map. He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, what is the name of this town?"
"Hook Town," Fast replied.
Church.
"Now that we know he's alive, we can't let him escape," Pearson said. "We'll continue to search."
Karl said dissatisfied: "Search for what? They drove away from here long ago."
Hasen said resolutely: "It's impossible. I've poured out all the oil in the gas tank. There's no people in the vinicity. They can't go far."
Karl: "Who knows whether what you said is true or not? Ann believes you, but I don't believe you."
Hasen: "What I said is true!"
Rong Zheng: "I believe you."
Hasen looked at Rong Zheng gratefully.
Karl was so angry that his teeth ached, he winked at Bai Leshui.
Bai Leshui looked confused, then guessed whether this person want him to expresse some opinions, so he said: "They don't have oil, so they should think of a way to get it. It's better to have a car than not to have a car."
Ann: "Gasoline is only available here. It's not available anywhere else."
Then, they will definitely come and steal the oil.
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Then let them come ba."
Isn't it much less labor-intensive to please someone to get into the pot than to hunt them down everywhere ma?
Bai Leshui glanced at Rong Zheng's sly smile and silently calculated the approximate number of remaining players, thinking this might be the fastest time to exit a dungeon.
The author has something to say:
Chu Wenhai: Is this also called a map? Have you ever seen a map with only three strokes in total?
Simply a
