Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Professor Su and his wife are indeed the top experts in the country. They used the original virus strain of unknown origin and successfully produced a stabilizer that theoretically allows the human body and the virus to coexist.

However, this stabilizer must rely on that kind of "stock solution" to be produced.

"Your father and I could only make two stabilizers in time, and we didn't even have time to do animal experiments. Everything is still just theory." Bai Qiuling said, "We will take one of them away with us, and out of our selfish desire as parents, we will keep the other one here in secret."

Chu Xiao shuddered, he knew that the "stabilizer" left behind was what he had been desperately looking for.

At this time, a handsome but serious-looking middle-aged man appeared in the video. He was Su Muhe's father, Su Yanshu.

"Susu, the helicopter that's coming to pick us up is about to take off, so mom and dad have to leave first. If nothing has happened when you see this video, then it's fine. If something bad has already happened... you must stay alive. Dad asked a friend to prepare some escape tools for you on the underground floor of the laboratory, but time is running out, so this is all Dad can prepare. Lao Zhou, if you're with Susu, please protect her. Please."

Obviously, Professor Su and his wife expected that the person who would come to the laboratory with Su Muhe should be Dr. Zhou. However, even they probably did not expect that the disaster would come much earlier and more terrible than they expected. If Chu Xiao had not appeared, Su Muhe would not have been able to enter the laboratory at all.

"We'll contact you once mom and dad have dealt with things. There's nothing to worry about. The country's top experts are here, and we'll conquer this virus soon." Su Yanshu smiled at his daughter across the screen.

"Susu, mom is leaving soon. Remember to eat well and don't stay up late reading novels..."

On the screen, Bai Qiuling wanted to say something to her daughter, but time obviously did not allow it. She only had time to say one sentence: "Mom loves you."

The video ended here, and the screen went black. Then, the tabletop in front of the screen sank, and a small metal thermostat slowly rose up. Inside was a transparent glass tube filled with a crystal green liquid with an eerie luster.

In front of the screen, Su Muhe was in tears.

"Su Su, do you blame your parents for not taking you with them?" Chu Xiao asked worriedly.

Su Muhe shook his head desperately: "They must have their reasons. After all, when encountering such a thing, no one can do anything."

Chu Xiao could tell from the video that Professor Su and his wife were probably taken away by official personnel, and they left very suddenly. The situation was so urgent that they had no time to take care of their daughter. Moreover, they could not have imagined that this devastating disaster would break out just one hour after they left.

Moreover, judging from the situation in the video, it seems that the higher-ups were not completely unprepared for this disaster...

Chu Xiao walked to the screen and picked up the incubator. This was the goal of their trip. Although the video also said that this thing had not even had time to do animal experiments, Chu Xiao could not care less now and could only try it out!

But An Su was thinking more. In addition to them, there were some people who knew about the existence of this "stabilizer", which was very interesting. According to the video, the existence of the stabilizer should still be a secret, and no one except Professor Su and his wife should know about it. So how did the organization that Zheng Wei belonged to know about the existence of this thing?

Then there is only one answer, the organization that Zheng Wei belongs to is the source of the can of "original liquid" mentioned in the video. As for why it was mailed to Professor Su and his wife, there are too many possibilities, so there is no need to think too much for the time being. In this case, the organization behind Zheng Wei is probably inseparable from this disaster.

What An Suxin was very concerned about was what Zheng Wei said before she escaped. She said that Chu Xiao was the one who needed this potion more...

She wanted to remind Chu Xiao, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep quiet. Chu Xiao was now concerned about his sister's safety, and he would not listen to other opinions on the use of this medicine.

——Perhaps, Zheng Wei was just creating confusion in order to confuse us.

The secretary could only hope so.

"Su Su, this is something your parents left for you. It is obviously very precious, otherwise your parents would not have handed it to you so carefully and solemnly." Chu Xiao looked at Su Muhe and said very seriously, "But in order to save Chu Yan, I have to 'snatch' it from you. I hope you don't blame me."

Su Muhe wiped away her tears and waved her hands hastily, "How could that be! Brother Xiao, just take it and use it! We are all here to save Xiaoyan, there is no use for me to hold this thing."

"Thank you very much," Chu Xiao bowed his head solemnly to the girl and said, "As compensation, I can agree to one of your requests, no matter what it is."

When the girl heard this, she tilted her head slightly, her hair swaying lightly, her eyes moving, and she bit her lip slightly and said, "...Is anything okay?"

"Um, you don't have any particularly excessive requests, do you?"

"Of course not!" Miss Su Su would not say that. At that moment, her soul as an R-rated female writer was burning. "Well... I haven't thought about it yet. Can I make a request later when I have thought about it?"

"of course can."

With the medicine to save his sister in hand, Chu Xiao felt much more relaxed: "Before we go back, let's go see if Professor Su has left anything for you."

The laboratory is a whole annex building. At a glance, it is not suitable as a long-term base. Although the area is not small, most of it is filled with precious scientific research equipment. Some areas have "danger" signs hanging on them, which are obviously not suitable for people to stay in. On the underground floor of the annex building is an independent garage with a "Monster" parked inside.

Even the previous G-Class becomes "fragile" in front of this car.

This is a black riot control vehicle that has obviously been modified! The cold metal lines and the domineering black outline make it exude a "dangerous" smell.

"This is too exaggerated." Chu Xiao's eyes widened. "What kind of friend is your father? He has so much power. Can ordinary people get this thing?"

He looked at Su Muhe, and only then did he realize that although the girl in front of him looked weak in character, she was actually a real super young lady.

Su Muhe was also shocked. He never expected that his father would prepare such a big thing.

With such a big guy, they can really rush out of the hospital against the zombies. Unfortunately, they still have to return to the safe area upstairs and cannot leave like this.

The car was not locked and the key was in the car. Chu Xiao opened the trunk of the car and his eyes lit up immediately: "Su Su, come and see what your father left for you."

Su Muhe came closer and his face turned green with fright - there was a shotgun and several large boxes of bullets in the trunk.

"This thing... must have been prepared by Uncle Ruan! Only he could come up with something so outrageous."

The "Uncle Ruan" mentioned by Su Muhe is Ruan Mengmeng's father. By the way, after Ruan Mengmeng's family was cleaned up, they had several security companies under their names. The security system of this laboratory was actually made by their family.

Chu Xiao weighed the shotgun in his hand for a few times. It was a little heavy. He had never fired a real gun before. Even in the game, his shooting skills were extremely poor. He was known as the "master of face-to-face tracing". However, the shotgun was said to be powerful and the requirement for aiming at the head was not high. Under the current circumstances, it was simply the most suitable for Chu Xiao. However, after all, it was the first time to touch such a dangerous item. He had to check the specific operation on his mobile phone while the network was still connected.

Chapter 57 Waiting

Going back is much easier than coming down, as you can take the employee elevator directly up. Before leaving, Chu Xiao called Dr. Zhou in the safe zone and asked him to help prepare for the reception.

Although there were quite a few zombies on the way to the employee elevator, they were still able to move towards the employee elevator through the ventilation ducts by using the same trick.

The staff elevator was not far from the research area, but there were still a considerable number of zombies gathered outside the elevator door. Chu Xiao couldn't care less at this time. He had already passed the most difficult level, so how could he be blocked by a group of zombies here?

Chu Xiao found the right moment, jumped directly from the ventilation duct, and then pulled the trigger at the zombies. Even though he had simulated it many times in his mind, it was the first time he fired a gun, and even though he was prepared, he was still startled by the recoil.

This shotgun really came at a very timely moment, otherwise without such a powerful person like Zheng Wei, how to get back safely would have been a real headache.

He learned how to load and fire by searching videos online. Chu Xiao was very glad that the Internet had not been completely paralyzed at the beginning of the disaster. Once he fired the first shot, he had a good idea of ​​what to do next.

At close range, the shotgun was incredibly powerful and had a high killing range. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The zombies exposed to the muzzle had no resistance at all. After all, they were still flesh and blood, and their heads were smashed into pieces by bullets. This gun had a capacity of five rounds. At close range, Chu Xiao didn't even need to aim carefully. He just needed to pull the trigger in the direction where the zombies were densely packed.

But even so, it was still somewhat dangerous. Because the zombies they were facing were not slow-moving targets, but humanoid monsters with terrifying speed and strength, and they were not afraid of pain. Moreover, as a novice in using guns, Chu Xiao could not skillfully load ammunition.

Fortunately, Chu Xiao and his men had more than one gun.

An Suxin stayed beside Chu Xiao, assisting Chu Xiao with a pistol, while Su Muhe hurried to press the elevator button. When the elevator door opened, the girl quickly rushed into the elevator and shouted to the two people outside: "Brother Xiao, Senior Sister Suxin, the elevator is here, come in quickly."

While Chu Xiao was shooting back the oncoming zombies, the two retreated into the elevator. As the elevator door closed, this dangerous journey came to an end.

Chu Xiao hugged the incubator containing the "stabilizer" tightly. In the silence, his heartbeat not only did not become smoother, but became more intense as the elevator gradually rose.

The elevator door opened again, and Dr. Zhou was already waiting at the door with his men. He saw the "spray gun" on Chu Xiao and was startled: "Where did you find such a scary guy?"

"How is my sister?" The gun issue can be explained later. Now I have to inject stabilizer into my sister.

"The situation is not very good, but you came back on time." Doctor Zhou said, "I hope what you brought back is really useful."

Chu Xiao nodded and hurried to the ward in the safe zone. An Suxin and Su Muhe greeted Dr. Zhou and quickly followed.

Doctor Zhou didn't ask why one of them was missing. There was no need to ask about this kind of thing. The only options were either he had left the team or he had died.

……

In the ward, Ruan Mengmeng stood by Chu Yan's bed with a knife in her hand, exuding a strong murderous aura that kept strangers away, as if she would ruthlessly chop down anyone who dared to approach without permission.

Seeing Chu Xiao push the door open, the girl immediately went to greet him: "Brother Xiao!"

Chu Xiao wiped Ruan Mengmeng's head, then walked to the bedside and looked at the girl lying on the bed. As Dr. Zhou said, Chu Yan's condition at the moment was definitely not good. She still had a needle in her hand, an IV drip, an oxygen mask on her face, and the monitor screen recorded the girl's current condition.

"Su Su, how do I use this thing? Can I just inject it directly?" Chu Xiao took out the life-saving medicine from the incubator. Inside the transparent glass tube, the emerald green medicine was crystal clear, but there was a hint of danger.

"Hmm." Su Muhe took out the potion, but hesitated, "Brother Xiao, do you really want to use this? Although it was made by my own parents, it has not even been tested on animals..."

"Do you think I have any other choice?" Chu Xiao's expression was very calm. He shook his head and said, "This is the only way."

Su Muhe nodded and used a syringe to inject the entire tube of stabilizer into Chu Yan's body.

Watching the emerald green potion completely enter his sister's body, Chu Xiao closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then he drove his female companions out of the ward.

"Next, let me stay alone with her for a while."

No matter what the outcome is, he will face it alone.

Although the girls were very worried, Chu Xiao was determined and would not tolerate any refusal, so they had to leave the ward. Before leaving, An Suxin looked at Chu Xiao and said seriously, "No matter what the result is, don't let me down."

"Don't worry, I know." Chu Xiao said softly, not sounding like he was talking to An Suxin, but rather like he was talking to himself.

The door of the ward was closed, and the inside and outside of the ward became two completely isolated spaces.

Chu Xiao sat down beside Chu Yan's bed, holding his sister's hand, looking at her delicate and beautiful face, with the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled and said to her: "Xiao Yan, do you know? If I really can't save you, I actually thought about committing suicide for love... Using the word suicide for love may be a bit too much, but brother-sister love is also love, isn't it? After dad and mom passed away, there are only you and me left at home. As your brother, I really can't imagine the days without you."

"But, I can't just die right now. I've been single for more than 20 years, and I didn't have anything to worry about except you. But I happened to meet some girls these past two days who I couldn't just leave behind. They were all good girls, and they should have had a better life, but because of this damn world... I'm going to go with you, but I have to wait until they are all safe, don't you agree?"

Chu Xiao choked up when he said this, tears flowing out uncontrollably, but a smile was still on his lips: "So, you must get better, otherwise, you will have to wait for a long, long time before your brother can accompany you..."

The ward gradually became quiet. The man held his sister's hand tightly, quietly waiting for fate to come.

……

Outside the ward, Su Muhe looked at the tightly closed door with worry: "Xiaoyan and Brother Xiao...are they okay? What if the medicine doesn't work..."

"Don't worry! Sister Yan and Brother Xiao will definitely be safe." Ruan Mengmeng said confidently, although her confidence had no source.

An Suxin glanced at the two junior schoolmates and said, "He is not such a fragile man. I believe I am not wrong."

After that, she said to the two girls, "Let's go and eat something first. We should take a break after being busy for so long. At times like this, we must seize the opportunity to ensure that we have sufficient physical strength and energy."

The secretary took the two of them to the dining area - so-called dining, it was just a few slices of bread and a bottle of mineral water.

At this time, a young woman walked past An Suxin and others.

Su Muhe couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "What a beautiful person... As beautiful as Senior Sister Su Xin."

It was obviously a mixed-race face, with delicate features that looked like they were carved from jade, and very fair skin, the kind of paleness that seemed to come from not seeing the sun for a long time. She was very tall, not much different from Ruan Mengmeng who was about 1.7 meters tall, and looked like a model for a magazine cover.

An Suxin couldn't help but look back at the woman's back, frowning slightly, but she was not amazed by the woman's face.

——Have I seen this person somewhere?

Chapter 58 Awakening

Time passed slowly. When I looked back, the sky started to darken, and now it was completely dark. In the ward, Chu Xiao was in no mood to turn on the light, and darkness gradually enveloped him.

In the drowsy silence, Chu Xiao's will became uncontrollably blurred. He was too tired.

He has not had any rest since yesterday afternoon, constantly fleeing and killing, and his spirit is always tense. Even though his body has been strengthened by the virus, humans are not machines after all, and this overdraft finally broke out at this moment.

"Oh no... why does it have to be at this time..." Chu Xiao felt his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, "Now is not the time to... rest..."

His thoughts stopped here, Chu Xiao fell on the hospital bed and fell into a coma.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, the heart rate on the monitor screen rose rapidly, as if the heart was about to jump out of the chest. Then the heartbeat began to slow down, and the heart rate dropped all the way, almost becoming a straight line, and then gradually rose again. This repeated several times, and finally returned to the normal range and became smooth.

After a while, the slender fingers on the bed moved suddenly, the girl's chest rose and fell slowly, and she gradually opened her eyes. However, in the darkness, her black eyes shone with a blood-red light, like two red lights that suddenly lit up.

Chu Yan's body seemed to have undergone tremendous changes. Although her appearance had not changed much, she seemed to have a more seductive temperament. Her eyes were bloodshot, revealing fanaticism and bloodthirsty greed. Her skin became whiter and whiter. Even in the dim ward, her exposed skin was like moonlight shining on snow, revealing a beautiful, crystal clear and cold color.

The girl looked confused and her movements were a little stiff as she slowly sat up. Her waist-length black hair spread out as she moved, like silk spread out in the darkness. She turned her head slightly and looked at the man beside her. The darkness seemed unable to block her sight. She slowly leaned down, her face showing greed, and stretched out a cherry-colored tongue tip to gently lick Chu Xiao's cheek and neck.

That appearance was just like the beautiful yet bloodthirsty monster in mythology.

As if driven by instinct, the girl leaned close to Chu Xiao's neck, panted softly, opened her beautiful mouth, revealing her neat and white teeth. But when she was about to bite, she stopped. Something in her subconscious stopped her action.

——But…I want…it seems like I want…

So, the girl grabbed Chu Xiao's hand, stuck out her tongue, and gently licked the young man's fingers, leaving not a single inch of skin untouched, as if she was tasting some unparalleled delicacy.

The next moment, a hint of scarlet flashed in her eyes, and then she bit Chu Xiao's wrist. Her teeth bit through the skin, and the rusty blood entered the girl's mouth. She immediately revealed an extremely satisfied look...

……

Chu Xiao had a nightmare. He dreamed that he found his sister but was not rescued and turned into a cannibalistic monster. He dreamed that on the way to escape, his girls died one after another at the hands of zombies. An Suxin resentfully cursed him for not saving her and why she ended up like this. Ruan Mengmeng and Su Muhe cried and begged him for help, but in the end, everyone turned into hideous zombies. They rushed towards Chu Xiao, pressed him to the ground, bit his body, and devoured his flesh and blood. They said that he owed them this. At the end of the dream, Chu Xiao fell into endless darkness and kept sinking into the abyss. A voice sounded faintly in the darkness...

"Brother, now we can finally be together forever..."

His consciousness gradually returned to the shallow layer, just like finally returning to the surface from the dark deep sea. The moment he woke up, Chu Xiao felt a clear pain in his wrist. After opening his eyes, he saw his radiant sister holding his arm and sucking his blood. The blood flowed from the corners of the girl's mouth and dyed the white sheets red, just like the vampire in the dark night in the story.

"Xiaoyan..." Chu Xiao called in a low voice, allowing his sister to grab his arm and suck his blood without any thought of resisting.

He didn't know what kind of changes had happened to his sister. Her posture didn't look like a zombie, but it didn't look like she had returned to normal either.
