Mr. Li stood in a silly way, but it didn't matter to Jiang Liushi as he no longer paid him any attention. And then, Jiang Liushi walked over to support Su Guangqi with his hand. "Professor Su, please get on." Jiang Liushi felt deeply grateful because of that booklet that Professor Su had given him, which had played an important role in this mission.
"Well, thanks." Su Guangqi nodded and smiled.
All the other experts looked at them enviously. They were all aware that were they not acquainted with Professor Su, none of them could be able to survive. How could anyone enter Area A to rescue them?
After the two professors boarded Jiang Liushi's minibus, two soldiers also drove two cars parked nearby.
"You can all get on this bus. We will follow Captain Jiang all the way," the captain shouted to the scientists.
Jiang Liushi didn't say anything. After all, his minibus had limited space and his sister was still in a deep slumber. On the other hand, be it the soldiers or scientists, didn't totally trust him, so following him with two cars was the best option.
Mr. Li was furious as nobody seemed to care about what he said at all. 'How dare they leave me here alone?'
In the end, he had to swallow his anger and follow them.
"Why are we going to the hospital? Tell me why… Doesn't he know about the hospital's situation?" Mr. Li kept complaining, "You are a bunch of idiots! Just you wait! The moment I meet Zhang Gaohe, I'll make him teach you a good lesson!" All those words were directed at the soldiers. Although he had no right to order Jiang Liushi, he still didn't expect the soldiers to follow him.
The two soldiers in the cab turned to look at him. The soldier in the passenger seat was the one Jiang Liushi had saved earlier. He stared at Mr. Li and shouted, "Sh*t up! What qualifications do you have to complain? If we could persist, of course, we would have done otherwise. Don't you know that we almost run out of ammo? A few minutes earlier one of our comrade-in-arms sacrificed his life; his body is still lying outside. Do you still want to complain to us?" The young soldier was unable to suppress his anger any longer and retorted. In his mind, if he hadn't met Jiang Liushi, he would long be dead.
Mr. Li never expected that the soldier would dare to scold him, even though he was quite young. However, looking at that young soldier, who was staring at him with his sharp eyes, Mr. Li was scared. After all, he was as timid as a mouse.
"Protecting us is your duty," he said in a low voice.
The moment the young soldier heard that he felt extremely annoyed. He jumped up looking at Mr. Li, who had almost been scared to death. "What do you want to do?"
"Don't do that!" That soldier in the driver's seat pulled the young soldier back at once.
And then, Mr. Li crouched in the corner and did not dare to say anything. But he felt glum whenever he looked at the other experts. 'A bunch of useless people,' he said to himself.
At this time, Jiang Liushi's minibus was launched. After Professor Su Guangqi arrived at Xiayuan Safety Zone, the military had assigned a doctor to check his health. As a result, the old professor was quite familiar with the route to the hospital, so he led the way.
"Oh, Captain Jiang, why did you want to go to the hospital? Is it because of Miss Jiang?" Su Tong asked after seeing Jiang Zhuying. Although it seemed that Jiang Zhuying was sleeping soundly, Su Tong knew something was wrong.
"Yes. I heard that Xiayuan Safety Zone has developed a kind of serum that can be used during the level-2 evolution. My sister is experiencing her evolution," Jiang Liushi answered honestly in a calm tone. He didn't feel the need to conceal anything from the two professors. They may even have useful information that could help him.
Sure enough, Su Tong nodded and said, "It is true. I've heard of it, but it's not our project. It is said that this kind of serum can stimulate the evolution cell variability of soon-to-be level-2 paranormals. However, because of the difficulty in extracting the serum's components is very high, the number of vials is minimal, and it cannot be widely used."
"Yeah." Jiang Liushi nodded.
He believed it was a quite reasonable thing. Fortunately, in this terrible post-apocalyptic world, scientists could still research such things, and they had contributed a lot. Whether it was the evolution crystal or serum, they were of great help to paranormals. Including all the fresh vegetables and fruits were cultivated all thanks to those scientists.
From henceforth, more research results may appear. Jiang Liushi believed that he would also gradually unlock new research unlock new function for his Biological Laboratory and Diverse Plants Cultivation Research Laboratory.
Although he had read the well-known scientist's pessimistic notes about the post-apocalyptic life, this time, Jiang Liushi felt that there was still a gleam of hope. At least for him, Starseed and his MCV were his hope and guarantee that he and his teammates could survive in this world.
"Ho, ho!"
Three vehicles traveling on the road soon attracted several infected people. Not only that, there were many more infected people coming from buildings and streets. Those infected people appeared from different directions, but their crimson eyes all stared at the three moving vehicles.
"Do not worry about them. Just follow me to the hospital first," Jiang Liushi shouted. Shooting them would only attract more infected people. As a result, it was better to go to the hospital first.
'Om!'
Jiang Liushi's minibus led the way rushing forward without stopping.
"Ho! Hoo!"
However, more than a dozen infected people rushed toward them at the same time. The closest one had already flung himself to one of the cars and let out a buzzing sound. Ugly faces were stuck on the car's window as if they were staring at all the people inside the car.
"Ah!" Mr. Li screamed and the rest of the experts and professors, which led them to feel scared too.
Jiang Liushi silently looked at the infected people. In fact, after being infected, their eyes were completely devoid of life, unlike zombies, whose eyes were showing a strong desire. Zombies could have their own consciousness, but after the parasites invaded humans' bodies, they had become nothing more than moving puppets…
