Chapter 220: End of the World: Superpower Boss vs. Cold-blooded Leader (5)
"Being alive is the most important thing, and everything else comes second. If you lose your life, you really have nothing left."
While Quan Si was speaking, he had already taken off his shoes and got into bed, with the quilt covering him.
"..."
Cheng Liu and Jiang Ruyi were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
I'm extremely adaptable!
But... they seem to have figured it out!
"Don't make noise, I'm a light sleeper," Quan Si added before closing his eyes, "Remember to call me for dinner."
"Okay, Brother Quan!" they said in unison.
Not long after, the sound of even breathing could be heard coming from the person on the bed.
[It’s good to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down...] Diamond Idiot whispered.
However, when the host wakes up, he should be able to gradually discover changes in his body, right?
Quan Si was awakened by Cheng Liu.
He ruffled his messy silver hair, and his whole body exuded a sense of laziness.
"Brother Quan, it's time to eat." Although Cheng Liu is usually noisy, he is very gentle when he calls people to wake up.
"Hmm..." Quan Si hummed lightly and was confused for several seconds before he came to his senses.
"Brother Quan, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Cheng Liu looked at him blankly.
"Speak." Quan Si got out of bed.
At first glance, there are high walls all around, giving people a very depressing feeling.
"You are so beautiful." Cheng Liu gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Ruyi nodded, "I've seen a lot of handsome guys, you're really good."
"..." These two brats have really strange focuses.
"How long have I slept?" He stretched his neck.
"Two hours." Jiang Ruyi pointed to the clock on the wall.
Mobile phones were put away as soon as they came in.
They said that they would return it to them when they could leave the headquarters.
It is now exactly eight o'clock in the evening.
There are three small wooden stools, just one for each person.
Jiang Ruyi picked up the bag at the door and opened it, revealing three sealed boxes of food and three bottles of water.
After the distribution is completed, open the lid and start eating.
There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, and the taste is okay. It’s not delicious, but at least you won’t starve to death.
Quan Si doesn't like to talk while eating, but Cheng Liu is not someone who can sit still and he never stops talking.
"Brother Quan, I'm so worried about my mother." As Cheng Liu spoke, he felt his nose sore and the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Quan Si glanced at him and saw that he looked like a little crybaby, so he had no intention of responding.
But seeing that he was really sad, I still patiently replied to him: "Auntie will be fine."
After finishing the meal, Cheng Liu picked up the remote control and said, "I don't know if this TV is working properly?"
He pressed it, and to his surprise it actually opened.
I flipped through a few programs and they were all news reports.
The keyword "doomsday" appeared in major headlines one after another.
Cheng Liu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene during the day.
The faces of the zombies just linger in my mind.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would have a hard time falling asleep tonight.
Quan Si suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Ruyi beside him.
"Ruyi, did the captain have any contact with any suspicious persons before takeoff?"
He had always had a doubt in his mind. The seed of doubt was planted when he saw the captain during the day.
"Suspicious person?" Jiang Ruyi recalled and shook her head, "No, we were all together before takeoff."
"There's something very strange," Quan Si frowned slightly, "When I went to the cockpit, he didn't have any wounds on his body."
"Logically, if it's infected, there should be bites or scratches on the body."
There were no wounds, but it was definitely infected.
"Now that you mention it, it's really strange." Jiang Ruyi was also puzzled.
The pilot was fine just an hour before the plane took off.
Just like that, it's gone.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but ache.
"I have a guess," Quan Si said slowly, "the virus is most likely transmitted through water sources."
He was in the cockpit and had a clear glimpse of a half-drunk glass of water.
"Water?" Cheng Liu was a little confused, "Then why are we okay?"
"When the virus first breaks out, it will first infect and eliminate a large number of people, and the rest, like you and me, are likely to have certain antibodies and a certain resistance to the virus, so they are not directly infected and mutated, but..."
Quan Si suddenly paused.
The two of them were so nervous that their hearts almost jumped into their throats because of his words.
"If you are bitten or scratched by an infected person, that is, a zombie, in the future, you will still mutate."
After all, the viruses carried by bites and scratches are more potent.
"Of course, this is just my inference. It depends on what scientists say."
At this moment, by coincidence, a news report was broadcast on TV.
"After research by the expert group, we found that the VN-9 virus is mainly transmitted through water sources. Please do not drink water from your tap without permission. We have sent a rescue team and will launch a rescue operation as soon as possible. We will never give up on any life!"
[Off-topic: The transmission route of the zombie virus is purely my own nonsense. All the content is fictional. Please don’t pay attention to the illogical parts and don’t bring them up to reality! I have been honest, please forgive me. There are some private settings, please forgive me, I wish you a happy reading~]
"Oh my god..." Cheng Liu pulled the corner of his mouth, "Brother Quan, you really got it right."
"Then don't those of us who survived have certain innate advantages?" He touched his chin.
"...Don't get too complacent, you will still get infected if bitten." Quan Si broke his beautiful dream.
"I didn't expect the apocalypse in the movie would actually happen," Jiang Ruyi sighed, "It's so unpredictable."
"Our country's military strength is not weak. It is only a matter of time to destroy those zombies. But..."
The fear is that the zombies will evolve or mutate further.
By then, things won't be so simple.
"But what?" They both looked at him.
At this time, the speaker in the corner of the ceiling sounded, and it was the voice of the broadcast: "Dear survivors, it's time to wash up."
"The guards will open the iron gate for you. Please line up, collect your clothes and toiletries, and wash up in the bathroom."
*
Fortunately, the bathrooms here are not face to face as imagined, but have separate cubicles.
This way, embarrassment can be avoided.
Quan Si took his things and randomly picked a compartment to go in.
Unexpectedly, a man walked over. He glanced at him unintentionally, but when he saw the man's face, his gaze paused slightly.
It's that chief.
Look at his outfit at this moment...
The upper body was naked and the lower body was wrapped in a bath towel.
"..."
