Chapter 817: An Ordinary Person
The Mutual Collar Biological Testing Center is located at the edge of the eastern suburbs, and if you continue to open it further, you will be barren farmland after another.
However, the weather was only ten o'clock in the morning, and it was already so hot that it almost melted the potholes on the asphalt road. At this moment, everyone just wanted to quickly find the equipment that Lian Ze mentioned, and then go back to the base.
"There should be very few people here, not even zombies," Su Xiangzhe said while driving slowly.
"Some people have been here, and some have killed zombies."
Lu Hao looked at the scattered corpses of zombies that fell on the side of the road. Those zombies seemed to be smashed to death with blunt objects vigorously, not like those of their supernatural powers. It was as crisp and neat as the zombies he killed, and those also looked like corpses from not long ago.
Could it be that some ordinary people have been here nearby?
"Someone," Mao Qiqi said, pointing to a spot in front of the car.
"Huh? There are people in this wilderness?" Lin Xiuyuan asked curiously.
"A person, an ordinary person, over there"
Everyone continued to look at the route indicated on the map and walked forward. Fortunately, although it was still the end of the world, the signboards of many places before the end of the world could still be seen clearly, and they soon found the "Mutual Collaboration Biological Testing Center", and the ordinary person Mao Qiqi mentioned was also in it.
"Could it be that some team passed by here and had an accident, and this person hid here?" Lin Cheng guessed.
"I don't know, it's just ordinary people anyway, What's there to be afraid of, Why don't we knock on the door too?" Lin Xiuyuan looked at the locked door and asked.
He originally said this sentence as a joke, but he didn't expect that Lu Hao and his family would follow suit. Lu Hao really knocked on the silver-gray metal door.
"Alright, so as not to scare others, we are all civilized people."
Lu Guanhai stood in a nearby shadow and waited.
Zizila~
A signal sounded, and everyone looked aside in surprise, following the sound, only to see that the videophone at the gate flickered a few times and turned on.
The face of a neat middle-aged man appeared on the palm-sized videophone.
"Hello, hello."
Huang Yunxiang, who had her back to the screen, hurriedly turned around to say hello.
"..."
The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
"Hello, can you hear me? We are survivors of the base in S City." Lu Hao asked with a wave.
"...I can hear it" came the man's hoarse voice.
...
Lian Ze had been looking at the place with interest when he saw the video phone light up. As he followed the others inside, he found that the inside was not as dilapidated as the building looked on the outside.
In the corridor with sealed glass windows, everyone looked at the biological detection institution in shock and curiosity, but Lu Hao had been looking at Shi Ran who was leading the way for them.
"Not bad, brother, do you still have electricity here?" Lin Cheng asked happily.
"Solar power generation, there's nothing strange about it."
At this moment, his voice was no longer hoarse. He led everyone to the hall of the testing institution and motioned for them to sit down.
"What do you want to drink? Tea or boiled water? I don't have coffee or anything here, even the tea leaves are dried by myself," Shi Ran explained to herself.
Shi Ran was one of the researchers of this institution before the apocalypse. At the beginning of the apocalypse, there were only a few people working overtime in this institution. Because the location was relatively remote, most of Shi Ran's colleagues went home from work early. , and the security of this institution itself is very tight, so there has been no large-scale zombie injury incident inside.
"There were a few colleagues who were here with me before, but because they missed their family so much, they all left together, leaving me alone," Shi Ran laughed at himself.
"It's been a year since the end of the world. How do you survive here alone?" Lin Xiuyuan asked in disbelief. Even though there is electricity here, there is no food. I don't know how this person has lived until now.
"Although our company works overtime for free, it can provide a lot of free food during overtime hours. I rely on those to support me, but now there are not many left. I'm afraid I won't last long." Shi Ran thought after thinking about it, he looked around and said to everyone.
"We are not interested in the food you raise, we just want to find a genetic testing instrument we need and leave," Lian Ze said immediately.
"Food?" Lin Cheng swallowed and asked, he recently watched some horror movies about survival in the last days in the space, wouldn't it be what he imagined?
"Did you see it?" Shi Ran lowered his head and asked with a vigilant expression.
"Well, those boxes under the window sill outside the door are your homemade fermented fertilizers, right? And the transpiration water extraction equipment over there is also your own homemade? And...this" Lian Ze raised a piece of brown-yellow fertilizer in his hand Feather continued: "You have at least plants and chickens here."
"So why did you find this place? Wouldn't it be good to let me continue to live here alone? I managed to create a miniature ecosystem. Why do you Always..."
Shi Ran suddenly hugged his head and started crying.
"..."
Lian Ze was a little stunned. He didn't seem to have said anything. Why did his words make the person in front of him so sad?
"Mr. Shi, you misunderstood. Our friends just said that we were just here to find a machine. If you want to continue here, we will not touch anything of yours," Lu Hao explained, It was a bit miserable to cry at that time.
The middle-aged man who was howling and crying suddenly stopped, and asked with some disbelief on his face: "You won't steal my chickens and vegetables?"
Who wants to steal your chickens in our space? Too many chickens to overflow, okay? Lin Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, thinking speechlessly.
"We are from the S city base. We are not short of food."
Su Xiangzhe also looked friendly. They don't look like bad people, right?
"What you said has no credibility at all..." Shi Ran shook his head and said in disbelief.
"Mr. Shi, no matter what kind of people you have met before, we mean no offense. We will leave here after taking the things." Lu Hao looked at Shi Ran and said seriously.
I don't know why, but seeing Lu Hao like this, he suddenly remembered the actions of these people knocking on the door. Subconsciously, he nodded: "There is a genetic testing equipment here, upstairs, but I want to know if you are looking for it. What's the use?"
"My family is unconscious now and may need it," Lian Ze said.
"Then what does the S city base you are talking about look like? Is there no shortage of food there?" After Shiran calmed down, he began to ask various questions.
