Chapter 24 Chapter 24: The White Scaled Demon Dragon

"This has nothing to do with my father, it was an order from the top." "Remember the oath we made when we joined the institute? Never abandon or give up on our comrades! What did your father do? When the higher-ups gave orders, did he stand up for us? Did he protect us? ? If it wasn't for that person who rescued Lin Chen and me, we would all have become cannon fodder! Lin Chen was only 22 years old and just got engaged! He died in my arms!" Tan Guanghe roared loudly like a beast with a wounded head, The dust on the ceiling rustled down. Bai Xiaozhou suddenly thought of something, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be...you were the one who put Lin Chen's body under the rostrum?"

"To share weal and woe, this is also the oath of the year, I just let them fulfill their promise." Tan Guanghe raised his chin, his eyes were cold, "I said, I can't let my subordinates die without knowing why." "You..." Sima Fanti wanted to rush up, but was stopped by Long Chuxia: "Tan Guanghe, let me ask you, who saved you back then?" "This has nothing to do with you." "This virus cannot disappear automatically. If you are not dead, the person who saved you must have given you the antidote." Long Chuxia's tone was aggressive, "Why, can't you guess who that person is?"

After being silent for a while, Tan Guanghe said: "I have been looking for him for ten years. I originally thought that I could meet him here. It seems that I am disappointed. You want to say that I am being used by others? If the old Sima can really do it right for us If I don't give up and don't give up, how can I be used by others?" He pinched Xia Xi's neck, and a bruise appeared on the boy's face.Bai Xiaozhou said distressedly: "Let go of him, you're going to strangle him to death!" Turning a deaf ear to Tan Guanghe, he pulled the boy back to the corner, where there was a door leading to the outside.

"Goodbye everyone." He shot the door lock and kicked the door out. "I will never regret what happened back then." The door slammed shut, and everyone wanted to chase, but Long Chuxia raised his hand to stop him: "There's no need to chase, do you really think he can escape?" Tan Guanghe carried Xia Xi on his shoulders and ran through a long passage. A door appeared above his head. He opened the door and asked Xia Xi to poke his head out first. Seeing that there was no movement, he went out of the passage. There was silence outside and the sky was dark. . He had just taken two steps when suddenly there were nearly a hundred soldiers around him, and countless Type 03 automatic rifles were aimed at him.

Everyone in the basement heard gunshots from afar, like setting off firecrackers for a long time. "Xia Xi!" Bai Xiaozhou's face turned pale and he wanted to chase him out, but his leg hurt like it was broken again, and he fell to the ground.Zhu Yikai hurried over to hug her, "Xiaozhou, you can't save everyone." Bai Xiaozhou burst into tears, releasing all the fear and pressure accumulated for a long time, turning into tears. Long Chuxia patted Qu Siqi on the shoulder: "Don't be upset, no one told you to move faster." Qu Siqi held his forehead in frustration, regretting why he always took the lead every time.

"What should we do now?" Qin Zheming grabbed his hair, "The equipment for developing antidote is gone. Are we really going to die here?" "What are you afraid of? We have golden chrysanthemum." Zhu Yikai said, "There are still six petals left, enough for us to go out." "That's right, we haven't used up our chrysanthemum yet." Qu Siqi took out the petals from his pocket.Long Chuxia shook his head and said: "The golden chrysanthemum only has five minutes, and five minutes is not enough for us to escape. Besides, it has a fatal weakness."

"What is it?" "It can't hide the smell, a trained hunting dog will smell us, and then we will be greeted with a hail of bullets." Sima Fanti, who had been silent all this time, checked the bullets in the gun and covered his head with a headache: "It seems that we have to force our way in." "No!" Long Chuxia interrupted him without hesitation, "Unless you have to, you must not 'break in'." Bai Xiaozhou exchanged glances with Zhu Yikai and Qu Siqi. There seemed to be some deeper meaning in Teacher Long's words. Could it be that Sima's forced entry meant mass killings?

"Maybe there are other ways." Zhu Yikai looked around. "I caused a small earthquake. The earthquake can make animals go crazy, and their instinct will drive them to escape. We can take the opportunity to escape." "This is a good idea, but what happens after you escape?" Sima Fan asked, "This psionic virus has mutated in ten years, and they will spare no effort to find us and kill us, and the people we have come into contact with , they won't let it go." "We'll talk about things after we go out." Zhu Yikai said, "We can't wait for them to 'disinfect'."

His clothes were grabbed by a pair of big hands. Sima Fanti looked into his eyes and said fiercely: "Boy, I know you have a powerful family, but this matter is not that simple. Maybe your relatives will do it for you." Self-preservation handed you over. Everyone is afraid of death, carrying the name of a virus carrier, there will be no hiding place for you in this world." Zhu Yikai gritted his teeth, knowing that he was right. "Didn't you also talk about breaking in just now?" Qu Siqi asked anxiously, "Is there any difference?" The expressions of Sima Fanti, Long Chuxia and Qin Zheming all changed a little. There seemed to be some ulterior secret hidden between them.Bai Xiaozhou remembered what Sima Fanti said to Qin Zheming, they were different.

What is the difference? "Who has a better way, you might as well say it." Zhu Yikai looked at Long Chuxia, "Mr. Long, what do you think?" "I agree with Kaizi's idea." Qin Zheming held a test tube with red liquid in it, "I still have a little bit of that child's blood. If I can go back to the research institute, I can make a special medicine." Before he finished speaking, several murderous eyes stabbed at him.Qu Siqi gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, didn't you say so earlier?" "You didn't give me a chance to tell."

"Now that you have decided, let's start to act." Long Chuxia said, "Kaizi, what is the scope of your earthquake?" Zhu Yikai pondered for a moment: "Within a radius of two hundred meters." "Very good, but I hope that those people outside should not suffer casualties, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Mr. Chu at that time." Zhu Yikai frowned, this is the biggest problem. "There must be heavy security outside the exit of the basement, this way is impassable." "Where's the front door?" "No. 7 is a cautious person. If he has the final say outside, the defense in front will not be worse than the basement exit." Sima Fanti said, "The best way for us now is to open another exit." "Dig another road?" Qu Siqi said in surprise, "I'm afraid there is not enough time." "No need to dig, there is another exit in this building." Long Chuxia smiled mysteriously, "Do you know where we found the 'Throat Cutter'? It was in a secret passage that was dug halfway. This mental patient spent several years digging out of the room he lived in, and the road has been dug 80%. After the virus broke out, he dragged all the people he caught into the tunnel and killed them. In order to stop him , had no choice but to kill him. After Zhe Ming came in, he found that the virus content in his blood was very high, and it didn’t seem to be an indirect infection, so he was used for the experiment.” "Where does that road lead to?" Zhu Yikai asked. "It should be the small forest behind the hospital. Judging from the length, it is already in the woods. We only need to dig a few meters forward to get out." "Where are we going to find tools for digging tunnels now?" Bai Xiaozhou asked. Long Chuxia pointed to the corner, where there were several shovels standing against the wall: "This basement is actually a secret laboratory. It is used for some experiments. I don't need to say much. In order to bury the corpse, they have already Ready." The tunnel was very narrow, and only one person could crawl through it. Sima Fanti was the strongest and most powerful, so digging a secret tunnel could only happen to him.Six people lay down in the tunnel one by one, passing the excavated soil outside. "When will this dig?" Qu Siqi said, "No. 7 said that it will be completely disinfected after three days, but I don't believe what he said." Sima Fanti turned his head to the side in displeasure, and said out of breath, "Why don't you come?" "That will have to be dug until next year." Qu Siqi is very self-aware.Sima Fanti shook his head helplessly, thinking that I must fix his mouth when this matter is over. After picking up another basket of soil, Qu Siqi was so tired that he was out of breath, and inadvertently glanced at his wrist. It happened to be ten o'clock in the morning, and he was a little dazed.Suddenly the ground trembled, and he turned his head and shouted: "Kaizi, the tunnel hasn't been dug yet." "It's not me!" Zhu Yikai said loudly. "Oops!" Qin Zheming, who was further back in line, shouted, "They disinfected in advance." "What? Hurry, dig!" Qu Siqi urged Sima Fanti in front.Sima Fanti stopped what he was doing, the fear in his eyes was like a flooding river: "It's too late." The blazing flames quickly diffused from the end of the hole, wrapped in a strong hot wind, shattering the dead, like a broken bamboo. There is nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape. Amidst the screams, flames engulfed everyone behind him and rushed towards him. He roared and woke up suddenly.Sima Fanti was still digging, and everything was calm.He glanced at the watch on his wrist, fifteen minutes to ten. "Si Qi, what did you see?" Zhu Yikai suddenly grabbed his ankle and asked in a deep voice.Qu Siqi was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale: "Hurry up, get out! They're going to be disinfected!" "Don't panic." Long Chuxia shouted, "When did it happen?" "Ten o'clock!" Long Chuxia looked at his watch: "It's too late, Sima, hurry up and dig up the soil." "It's too close, I'm afraid they will find it." "I can't help it, let's escape first." Sima Fan raised his shovel and dug up hard. Halfway through the digging, he suddenly heard a "Dang" sound: "It's cement! There is cement on it." "There are still five minutes." Qu Siqi looked at his watch, sweating profusely. "Let me do it." Zhu Yikai pushed Qu Siqi aside, quickly crawled over, and beat the cement block with his fist a few times, "The cement layer is not thick, so it should be fine." Sima Fanti grabbed his hand: "Now it's not a question of whether the cement layer can be broken, but how to break the cement layer without being discovered by them, Kaizi, can you do it?" Zhu Yikai looked at the cement above his head, and was silent for a while: "I can break the cement layer while they are 'disinfecting', and the explosion will cover the sound of the cement collapsing. It will take a little time for the flame to spread over, and we can escape." There was no other way, Sima Fanti could only agree.He used a shovel to dig a larger space around him, then stepped aside, leaving Zhu Yikai alone under the entrance of the cave.Time passed by every minute and every second, and none of the six people spoke. In the narrow space, only the sound of the second hand moving and the beating of the heart could be heard. In just a few minutes, it feels like a century. The "click" second hand stopped on the number 12, and everyone's hearts stopped for a second.Suddenly, the ground trembled.It's now!Everyone swallowed the chrysanthemum petals.Zhu Yikai supported the cement slab above his head with his hands, and secretly exerted force, the cement layer exploded suddenly, and sand and gravel flew around.Qu Siqi pressed Bai Xiaozhou's head to prevent her from being injured. A light came down from the top of his head, and Zhu Yikai was overjoyed: "Success!" He jumped up and rushed out of the ground.They were on the edge of the forest, and the mental hospital not far away was still exploding, and the flames were soaring into the sky. He could clearly feel the scorching air waves coming towards him. "Quick, come out quickly." He pulled the people below up one by one.The last one was Long Chuxia. She turned her head and saw the fire following. She took a deep breath and jumped out.Zhu Yikai drove a huge boulder next to him with his thoughts and pressed it against the entrance of the cave. When the flames came over, the air wave almost knocked the stone away. "Go before they notice." Long Chuxia whispered, messy footprints appeared in the weeds on the ground, and headed towards the woods. Opposite the mental hospital was a small tent, which was regarded as the headquarters. No. 7 stood in front of the tent, looking at the building that was constantly collapsing in front of him, the flames danced in his eyes, thoughtfully. "Report, the disinfection has been successful." A soldier came to report, and he was a little worried: "Is no one coming out?" "No." No. 7 is still worried: "Search around the hospital again carefully to see if there are other tunnels." "yes." "Chief, there is a situation." A man who looked like a technician came out of the tent, holding a laptop in his hand: "There was a weak stratum fluctuation in the ten o'clock direction of the mental hospital just now." No. 7 was startled suddenly: "Too bad, they escaped. They couldn't escape very far, so a few people stayed behind, and the rest followed me to chase the few survivors." Another soldier came over, sweating profusely, "We went to deal with the bodies of the two people who escaped from the basement, but the child's body was gone." "What?" Number Seven was furious, "Is he still alive?" "Impossible. We have checked. He has been shot many times. He must die." Number Seven pondered for a moment: "Send a few more people to look for that boy, and he must not be allowed to escape." "They are chasing them." Long Chuxia turned his head to look at the vast forest, "They are traveling very fast, and they are only less than fifteen minutes away from us." Bai Xiaozhou had a leg injury, and Zhu Yikai and Qu Siqi alternately carried her on the back all the way. She raised her body and said, "Put me down, let's go." "Nonsense." Qu Siqi frowned and said, "We will never abandon you." "If this continues, we will not be able to escape." Bai Xiaozhou's eyes swept over everyone's faces, "Don't hesitate any longer." The woods not far away made a rustling sound, as if a group of wild beasts were gradually approaching. Zhu Yikai said: "I'll run to the west to lure them away, and you quickly take Xiaozhou and Qin Zheming back." "I'll go too." Qu Siqi was not far behind. "Shut up!" Sima Fanti suddenly snarled, turned his head to look at Long Chuxia, his eyes were like deep pools, and he seemed to have made up his mind, "I'll stay." "Sima!" Long Chuxia wanted to say something, but Sima Fanti didn't give her a chance: "Now it's time to have to. I am your captain, and I have the obligation and right to protect you." He looked at her, saying every word. Suddenly said: "Take them away." After that, he turned around and stopped looking at her.Long Chuxia looked at his back with stars twinkling in his eyes.After hesitating for a moment, she nodded to everyone: "Let's go." "Do you need my help?" Qin Zheming asked Sima Fanti.He wore a silver bracelet on the wrist of his left hand, which was always hidden in his sleeve, which was rarely seen at ordinary times.He stroked the bracelet and said solemnly, "My blood is also starting to boil." "Get lost!" Sima Fanti turned half of his face slightly, his gaze became fierce, "If you say one more word, I'll kill you, go back and study the antidote!" The eyes of the two met, Qin Zheming felt chills in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "Well, if you want to be a hero, you can do it, and don't beg me to save you then." The three of Bai Xiaozhou looked at Long Chuxia together in confusion.Long Chuxia supported his forehead with a headache: "Let's go, you will know what's going on later." The five of them walked down the mountain road. Sima Fanti was standing in the middle of the jungle. A few dozen steps away, the waist-high weeds made a rustling sound, as if blown by the wind, and quickly fell in his direction.Within twenty steps, a group of soldiers stood up from the grass.The corner of Sima Fanti's mouth twitched into a smile, and his eyes became cold. He rolled up the long sleeve of his right hand, and a silver bracelet slid down, the style was exactly the same as the one in Qin Zheming's hand.He hooked the bracelet with the index finger of his left hand, and muttered to himself, "It's been a long time. It's been a long time since I felt this kind of excitement." Bai Xiaozhou lay on Qu Siqi's back, suddenly heard a long howl, everyone turned their heads, and saw a huge figure rushing up to the sky, circling above the forest. "That's..." Bai Xiaozhou was too shocked to speak. "It's a dragon!" Zhu Yikai opened his eyes wide, "It turned out to be a dragon!" "Don't look back!" Long Chuxia said, "Don't stop, hurry back to the research institute." Bai Xiaozhou couldn't help but look back. She always thought that dragons were just creatures in legends and didn't really exist, but today her worldview collapsed. It turned out that there are really dragons in the world, and they are beautiful. In foreign legends, the dragon is a ferocious and terrifying animal, but in the legend, the dragon is noble, elegant and radiant.When I see you today, I will not deceive you. Those glistening white scales were like pieces of clear and moving jade, Bai Xiaozhou was attracted by the shimmering light like water, and couldn't move his eyes away. "Don't look." Long Chuxia covered her eyes and whispered in her ear, "If you look again, your soul will be sucked away." Bai Xiaozhou opened his eyes and found himself standing in a forest.She was very surprised, where did Mr. Long go?where is thisHow did she get here?The trousers seemed to be caught by something. She lowered her head and saw a short old man, about a foot tall, with a long beard dragging on the ground: "Little girl, you are here again." Bai Xiaozhou looked at him in surprise: "You know me?" "You are the granddaughter of the king." The old man stroked his beard, "I am the land here." Your Majesty?granddaughter? There was a buzzing in her head, she grabbed the old man's beard and asked eagerly, "Where is my grandpa?"
