After the inspection, Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi left the institute and returned to their residences. Liu Tao began to meet with the higher ups of B city base. Zhong Qiu was busy developing a vaccine. He was wandering around outside to look for clues all day long. Liang Ping stayed in the institute and refused to come out. In only one day's time, everyone seems to have become busy.

Xu Yi has not been seen since the arrest of Qiu Xiangyu, and his team have quickly disappeared into all corners of the base. Wei Jia and Zhong Jia have joined forces and began secretly looking for them in the base.

Ye Zhizhou, who was doing nothing, simply took over the logistics work, dragging Fang Yunqi with him, began to prepare meals for everyone, three meals a day and after dinner some fruits. It was only then that everyone discovered that he had a good cooking skill, and the dishes he made were so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongue. A wealthy person who had been pampered for several generations, Ye Zhizhou, who had been eating royal food for a lifetime in ancient times, disdained after seeing the way these pigs were eating. A group of uncultured villagers, what he made cannot measure up to the imperial dishes he learned in his previous life!

Zhong Qiu's face was black as he looked at the dishes on the table and two who were eating with pleasure, the color of his eyes changed, and a small whirlwind began to blow around him. "The instrument in the third laboratory needs cleaning. Let the both of you go."

Lau Bo and Bao Bao who were called out by their boss shrunk their shoulders, and then buried their heads and ate faster. This kind of unscrupulous boss bullying the employees, they had to experience everyday. Heaven and earth are big, but eating is bigger ^[1], they can talk about work after eating!

Zhong Qiu was even more angry, and looked at Liang Ping sitting on the other side of the table.

“I came to help for free, you can’t exploit me.”

Liang Ping quickly cut a few pieces of meat and gave them to Ye Zhizhou.

“Boss, your boyfriend is too fierce.”

Ye Zhizhou knew what he meant and took out a bunch of bananas.

“I have least of this in my space, you eat slowly, or I won't be able to give you anymore.”

After saying this he takes the plate of meat, and walks over to Zhong Qiu, threatening him with the plate.

“Dare to change into a zombie, I'll let you eat this.”

Zhongqiu was so smothered by the smell of the meat that the color of his eyes changed a few times. Finally, with difficulty, he turned back to normal. Then, he glanced at the people who were still eating, stretched his arms, held Ye Zhizhou by the waist and brought him away to the lounge.

The two stopped in front of the confinement room, and Ye Zhizhou quickly forked a piece of meat into his mouth, and asked vaguely, “How is the situation of Wang Gang?

“The second batch of semi-finished vaccines have been able to successfully suppress the virus in his body. However, after the virus was controlled, his physical condition began to deteriorate rapidly.” Zhong Qiu looked away from the meat and put his nose close to his ear and softly breathe in.

This perverted idiot-like movement… Ye Zhizhou spat in the heart,ate the rest of the meat in three or two bites, threw the plate into the space, tossed a piece of gum into his mouth, and continued to ask, “How is Qiu Xiangyu?”

“His situation is a little better, only the level of the ability has dropped two levels, and the mental condition is still bad.” Without the smell of the steak, Zhong Qiu suffered a little, kissed the corners of his mouth, and his hands also began to be wander.

Obviously can’t stand up, but still want to take advantage! Ye Zhizhou skillfully shook off his hand and took out a piece of paper from the space. “The upgraded version of the convergence symbol, the lock symbol, should we use it now?” After the exchange, everyone agreed that Xu Yi this kind of dangerous person it is better to catch them earlier. This lock symbol for the closed atmosphere provided by the helpful system.

Zhong Qiu glanced at the paper in his hand and did not ask him where he got it. He bowed his head and kissed him before bringing him to the outside of the institute. He pointed to the outer wall of the institute.

"The higher ups have decided to define the scope of the blockade as the entire research institute. Is the paper enough?”

The entire institute? He raised his eyebrows and nodded. “Yes, it is enough to block the entire base.” Just don’t know what the above leaders are planning. It has been a few days, and he hasn't seen any movement.

So, two days later, the head of the base finally finalized Zhong Qiu's plan for Qing Yi. That night, Wang Gang was released as a bait from the Institute. At two o’clock in the morning, Xu Yi, who had been missing for a long time, appeared.

Yan Zheng hidden in the dark and looked at the figure that appeared as if it was out of thin air. He clenched the saber and his power also began to move. Wei Xu held Yan Zheng's shoulders tightly and spread his abilities to neutralize the fire abilities that he did not consciously mean to use. He made a gesture of keep calm towards him. Ye Zhizhou glanced at the two people in front of him, moved a little backwards, carefully mobilized the mental power left on Wang Gang, and began to monitor his conversation with Xu Yi.

Wang Gang, who was in a very bad state, was unbelieving when he was released from the institute. It was not until he saw Xu Yi that he realized that this was real.

“Xiao Yi.” He rushed toward the refined and beautiful young man; his face full of craving. “Give me some spring water. Those animals, I don’t know what they injected into me, but now I’m like this and my hands and feet feel weak, you have to help me!”

Xu Yi's face was worried and anxious. He quickly took out a cup of spring water and asked him, "What animals? Wang Ge, what have you been doing these days to have this kind of appearance?"

Wang Gang quickly took the spring water to drink, and after taking a breath, he said angrily, “Of course I meant the group of beasts from the research institute! I went out to help you exchange materials that day and happened to meet Fang Yunqi that traitor. I thought about teaching him a lesson! Don't know where Wei Xu and that little white face, Liu Chen^[2] suddenly came out from, they not only took Fang Yunqi away with two helpers, but also tied me up and took me to the Wei family. The next morning, I took the chance while Wei Xu was not there to run away, but I was caught by a group of people wearing white coats, and was taken to a small room in the institute. Every day, I was injected with some weird potions, and finally I became this ghost like person!”

"Wei Xu and Liu Chen?" Xu Yi frowned slightly. "The ones who caught you were them? And what is going on in the research institute?" The information obtained was too different from his guess, and he could not understand it. He always thought that Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu were both taken away by the strange zombie that suddenly appeared that day, in order to seek the spiritual spring of his through Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu. After all, for the zombies, the breath of his body is very attractive, so he had been careful to hide in the space, afraid to be found by the strange zombie through the smell and be caught.

“Don’t say anymore, it’ll just make me angry! When I recover, I‘ll kill that group of bastards sooner or later!” Wang Gang became angrier as he thought about it and couldn't help smashing the cup. Then he thought of something and said, “Yes, I also saw Qiu Xiangyu in that terrible place! He looked like he was in a bad state, Xiao Yi, are the members of our team being targeted? There are also Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi, I seem to have seen them too! Xiao Yi, must be Liu Chen! That villain must have hated that we let him fall into the zombie pile, so he colluded with the institute and used his dad's network in B city base to take care of us!"

“You saw Qiu Xiangyu?!” Xu Yi only noticed this. After a big shock, he quickly asked, “Have you seen a tall, thin, phoenix-eyed man with a wind type ability?”

“You mean Zhong Qiu?” When he mentioned this name, Wang Gang's expression became distorted, and his voice was full of hatred. "His ability is wind; it must be him then! He is the Dean of the institute! The one that experimented on me was him!"

Xu Yi couldn’t help but take a step back and his face was full of incredibility. The strange zombie is actually the leader of the research vaccine in the B city base? A zombie, researching a vaccine to kill zombies for humans? How ridiculous, there are such absurd things in this world! No wonder he has been unable to find the trace of the other side. It turns out that the other party has been nestled in the research institute in the third door – the place that is the most hateful place for zombies!

The several people who were arrested, Wei Xu, Fang Yunqi, Wang Gang, Qiu Xiangyu, were all people who had drunk his spirit spring water! The strange zombie really noticed the uniqueness of his spring water, and the other party wanted to slowly pick up the net and catch him! No, he can’t go on like this! He must find a way to break out of this situation as soon as possible! The other side’s power is too big, and his side is too weak. If he is unfortunately caught, with only his non-aggressive healing ability, he would completely be a fish on the other's cutting board!

“What’s wrong Xiao Yi?” Wang Gang was a little muddled by his changing face. He felt that he was very strange at this time and couldn’t help but change topic. “Right, what about our team? Why don't I see them?”

Xu Yi returned to back to himself and restored his usual appearance. He casually said a few words to deceive him, and his eyes flashed a dark light. He and the strange zombie are already in an endless situation^[3], and the other side's offensive is fierce. The ideas he had before are all useless, and he has to find a new way.

Ye Zhizhou carefully recovered his mental strength and gently patted Yan Zheng and Wei Xu's shoulders, indicating that they should retreat. After completely leaving the scope of the two men's perceptions, he made an "OK" sign and said, "Everything is going well, Wei Xu, you get ready to act."

Wei Xu's tight expression relaxed a little, and his mood was a bit complicated. "Do you really want to take that next step, Xu Yi, he…"

“He is not what you think, wake up.” Yan Zheng squinted and gently touched the scabbard of the saber. “Don’t be soft, don’t show flaws, otherwise everyone’s efforts will be wasted. He can hide in his space and we only have this opportunity to catch him."

Wei Xu squinted and nodded; he was silent afterwards.

The second day after Wang Gang and Xu Yi met, they began to gather members of the scattered squad. At the same time, the rumors of the research institute catching humans to experiment on began to spread slowly, and the atmosphere of the base became tense.

One day, Wei Xu deliberately went out from the third door at noon, the active time in the B city base. He also looked at the door with hatred and then went home. That night, Xu Yi found Wei Xu.

The instrument made a crisp “beep” sound, Zhong Qiu woke from his light sleep, quickly approached the instrument opened it, carefully took out a dark blue medicine from inside, seal it, and then open the test data and read it.

Ye Zhizhou blinked and sat up, confused and asked, “What’s wrong? Is the result coming out?”

“Xiao Chen.”

"What?"

“The end of the world is coming to an end.” Zhong Qiu slowly put down the information and his expression sincere. “The vaccine has been successfully developed, and we can build a house.”

Ye Zhizhou's sleepiness disappeared instantly, first he felt surprise and, then he was so angry that he went over to scold him. “You are a jerk with a waste of brains! Is now the time to say this?!”

Zhong Qiu happily hugged him and bowed his head to kiss his forehead. “Xiao Chen, everyone finally has no need to suffer.”

The fist that was thrown out was put down, paused, and changed his neck instead. He buried his face in the neck of the other and stuck his face to the cold skin. “En.. wait until you get well, I’ll cook for you” This man sacrificed himself to make this vaccine. Now, the darkness is finally over.

In the base, there was a raging crusade against the research institute, and the leader was the Wei family, who was in charge of the safety of the base. The third door was rammed by the angry base residents again and again, and was finally violently broken by the ability users after an entire night.

Xu Yi followed Wei Xu and passed through the third door. He quickly said, “We will kill Zhongqiu and save Xiangyu first. He has been captured for so long and may not be able to hold on any longer!”

Wei Xu heard the footsteps pause, and then quickly glanced over and nodded and replied, “Rest assured, he will be saved.” But not by you.

Wang Gang, who had been transformed by spring water, waved a big axe and said with a sullen look. “This son of a bitch Zhong Qiu! I, Wang Gang must break him into eight pieces today! Wei Ge, I used to misunderstand you, I didn’t expect you to have some courage, knowing that you were being bullied and came back for revenge! When the Zhong Jia falls, this base will become your Wei Jia’s. When that happens, you have to remember your brother, and give me a good position."

Wei Xu was disgusted and frowned, speeding up his pace. Xu Yi pulled Wang Gang aside and told him not to talk nonsense. Now Wei Xu is not the good captain who protected him wholeheartedly. The two are now only working together because of hatred and the same goal. Now it is a critical moment, better not provoke each other.

The location of the institute is relatively close to the center, and the guards are very strict. Wei Xu and Xu Yi’s team took a lot of effort to break through the outer layers of several layers of protection to reach the center.

In the maze-like corridor, they walked for a long time, and passed through one room after another room, Xu Yi was impatient. “Wei Ge, where exactly is Xiangyu locked up at? And there is that Zhong Qiu, didn't you say he usually patrols around here, why is there no sign of him?”

Wei Xu stopped and looked at him sideways. “Xiao Yi, do you really want the end of the world to end?”

“Of course I do.” Xu Yi looked at him inexplicably, thought about it, eased his expression and said, “Wei Ge, I know that you are worried that killing Zhong Qiu will affect the development of the vaccine, but this world has many smart people. There are so many people, is he the only one who has the ability to develop a vaccine? And even if there is no vaccine, the spring water in my hand can also suppress the zombie virus. When this is over, I am willing to provide the water for the base residents until the day the vaccine is developed.”

“Freely offering spring water…” Wei Xu heard these words, suddenly bowed his head and smiled coldly, then retreated and opened the doors of a nearby room. “Xu Yi, I really regret meeting you at the beginning.” He entered the room, closed the door and locked it.

[Wei Xu and the protagonist’s love chance has dropped to 0%, the third soul flag was removed, congratulations to the host, asking the host to continue your persistent efforts.]

Ye Zhizhou glanced at the pop-up screen and looked at Zhong Qiu, who was watching the surveillance. “Catch him?”

Zhong Qiu looked away from the screen, took out a few vaccines from the freezer, smiled, “Catch, I'll go catch them personally.”

In the hallway, Xu Yi, who was stupefied by Wei Xu's inexplicable move, couldn't help but pat the door, and became angered. "What do you mean by that Wei Ge? Why did you shut yourself up? Wei Ge!"

“Xiao Yi, you step aside.” Wang Gang his face glowering as he pulled him away. He lifted the axe and went to the door. “This kind of person, we should not cooperate with him! Wei Xu, if you are a man, come out! I'll leave you a life!"

A gust of wind suddenly came straight from the depths of the corridor, and nearly knocked them over.

Xu Yi’s face changed sharply, looking sideways at the corridor, and slightly retreating, covering himself with Wang Gang’s body.

Wang Gang's expression distorted and shouted, “Zhong Qiu, you bastard, come out! I am going to break you into eight pieces today!”

“Bastard, are you talking about yourself?” The cool voice came from behind, and he turned sharply, but he looked straight at the yellow eyes of Zhong Qiu. “Wang Gang, saving your life is my duty, no need to thank me.” After saying that, he directly stabbed the needle that was in in his hand into Wang Gang's neck, and then stretched his leg, kicking him away from Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was shocked by his sudden appearance, quickly hid behind another person and shouted, “Zombie! There's a zombie in the institute! Everyone kill him!”

Everyone was shocked, the people behind him rushed to attack Zhong Qiu.

Slowly taking out the second shot, Zhong Qiu crossed over the attacking group and looked Xu Yi in the eyes, and smiled, “Caught you, virus storehouse.”
