Volume 1 Eradication Chapter 64 The Origin of the Virus

  The car drove for about half an hour before arriving at a bank. However, the mysterious guide did not signal Yang Hao to stop the car, but instead led him to drive into the underground parking garage behind the bank. This parking garage was clearly artificially arranged. The entrance was covered with a large canvas, and behind it was an electrified net filled with barbs. No matter how hard the zombies tried, they couldn't break through it, as the high-voltage electricity would turn their bodies into charcoal. After the guide opened the net, the car drove to the lowest level of the parking garage. Just as Yang Hao and the others were looking around, the spotlights in the parking garage suddenly lit up, and the intense light made their eyes blurry. As soon as they adjusted to the light, they found that there were over 10 armed soldiers standing around the car, pointing guns at them.

  "Don't... don't shoot! We are not zombies!"

  Yang Hao, in a state of urgency, proved his identity with stiff English, which surprisingly worked. As soon as Yang Hao spoke, the armed men's vigilance decreased significantly, and their guns were slightly lowered. After all, zombies wouldn't be able to speak, so if someone could talk, they must be human.

  "ok...clear" The man leading the way whispered a few words into his earpiece and then let the group pass through, after which he gave a thumbs up signal, and Yang Hao restarted the car. He drove towards a slowly opening door, and after entering, the road continued downhill for nearly 1000 meters before arriving at a bustling intersection. The area was filled with food, drinks, firearms, ammunition... all sorts of goods piled high on wooden shelves. From time to time, people carrying handguns would cast cautious glances in their direction.

  The car drove all the way to the front of a small workshop before stopping. The car's headlights seemed to disturb the person working inside, who was wearing a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses. A white mask completely hid his face. As soon as Yang Hao saw this person, he felt a sense of disgust and even wanted to leave. In his police career, most of the perverts and molesters he had encountered were soft-looking men with a scholarly air.

  He said a few words to a black person next to him and then walked out.

  "You must be Officer Yang Hao, welcome, welcome..." The man said in fluent Chinese as he walked over and extended a friendly hand.

  Yang Hao hated the hypocrisy of this vulgar officialdom, so he sat in the car and said straightforwardly without moving.

  "You've found us, what's going on?" This person saw Yang Hao's cold face, first stunned, then took off his mask.

  "You may not know me, but I know you... This is my card. Please take a look..." Yang Hao took the card from him, on which was written "n(RD)Lyi"

  "What does this mean?" The tiger head looked at this pile of messy code and curiously asked.

  "It should be the American Institute of Human Body Research..." Yang Hao replied in a low voice and continued saying...

  "Are you Li Guangyi??? Speak up... what do you want from us." Yang Hao's heart felt a wave of unease, the (RD) on this card should mean Research and Development, human research??? Is it related to this virus???

  "Haha... Mr. Yang's story is indeed amazing and enviable..." Li Guangyi saw that Yang Hao was not buying it, so he continued to say.

  "You don't know me? You should have heard of my name... I am the elder son of the chairman of the Li Group, Lee Nan's brother..."

  "As soon as Yang Hao heard it, his doubts were immediately dispelled. 'I said this name sounds a bit familiar, turns out it's that despicable guy's older brother.'"

  "Do you want revenge for your brother?"

  "No, no, no... My brother is not ambitious at all. It's a good thing that he has been taught a lesson today, I should even thank you, if it wasn't for Mr. Yang teaching him a lesson, the Li Group would have fallen by now..."

  "What exactly is your status in the US??? Does this virus disaster have anything to do with you??"

  Yang Hao didn't show any gratitude towards him. As the saying goes, "like father, like son", Li Nan was that kind of person, and his family members weren't much better either...

  Li Guangyi's face showed a painful expression after hearing Yang Hao's words, he remained silent for a while before speaking up...

  "Mr. Yang, don't be impatient, since you're here, I'll answer all your questions. Please get out of the car first, and I'll show you some things." Yang Hao glanced at him with the corner of his eye, opened the door and got out, followed closely by Hu Tou and Yu Deng. "This way, please..." Li Guangyi made a gesture and led them to a sealed room. Yang Hao walked to the small ventilation window in front of the door and took a peek inside, feeling a chill run down his spine. The room was filled with many men and women, all of whom were covered in wounds, moving slowly around the room. Their bodies were covered in brown blisters, and they kept shaking, making Yang Hao certain that they were not alive, but zombies.

  But with so many people locked up here, Yang Hao couldn't help but think of the human experiments in the Russian church before. It seems that although World War II has ended, human experimentation has not stopped, and some major countries are still secretly researching viruses and constantly conducting heinous human experiments.

  Li Guangyi opened the door and saw Yang Hao's tightly furrowed brow, so he comforted him.

  "Please come in with me, it's alright... Each of them has iron chains binding their bodies. There won't be any danger..." After finishing speaking, he entered the room first, and Yang Hao and several others followed behind him.

  "Damn you, Li Guangyi, your brother is a lustful and depraved scoundrel... You're a perverted experimenter, your family should be exterminated..." Yang Hao's eyes seemed to seep out a chill as his thoughts penetrated, causing Li Guangyi to shudder several times, but he didn't know why.

  He picked up a syringe and filled it with red liquid from a small bottle, then approached a zombie and injected the liquid into its artery. A few seconds later, the zombie's body stopped shaking but still moved slowly.

  Li Guangyi picked up an apple and walked in front of the zombie saying...

  "The...app...le..." The zombie suddenly spoke, and Yang Hao and Hu Tou's faces were instantly filled with shock. This zombie had regained its consciousness.

  “tom…john….”

  "Has this zombie regained consciousness?? What did you inject it with????" Yang Hao couldn't hold back his curiosity and finally asked out loud.

  "This is the virus antibody I've been studying myself, it seems to be effective... But look..." Li Guangyi said as he took off his gloves and put his arm in front of the zombie's eyes... The moment the zombie saw Li Guangyi's arm, it went crazy, screaming loudly and pouncing forward with all its might, like it had seen a delicious meal.

  "How...how can this be?!!!!" Yang Hao's face was filled with disappointment as he gazed at the still-rampaging zombie, feeling an urge to approach and understand it.

  Li Guangyi was even more painful, his expression was like he had lost a loved one. His face was ashen and he remained silent for a long time before continuing to speak to Yang Hao.

  "At first I thought they recognized things because of the effects of the medicine... but later discovered that those zombies who hadn't been injected with the medicine also recognized things..."

  "What does this mean?"

  "Mr. Yang, this is obvious... This means that the longer zombies live, their IQ will slowly recover automatically. If it goes on like this, in 10 years... The whole world will become a zombie world."

  "How despicable! Who on earth researched such a terrifying thing?! Was it you?!" Yang Hao asked gritting his teeth.

  "It was indeed me, I was obsessed with the human body structure at that time. Wanted to break through the limits of the human body and research a kind of strong tonic, but didn't think..."

  "You should really die..." Hu Tou stood by and couldn't bear it anymore, finally cursing out loud...

  "I'm a dead man, but it's not entirely my fault... If I didn't have the technical support from within the country, I wouldn't be able to research such terrifying things..." Li Guangyi finally spoke his mind.

  "What domestic? Are you saying that someone in China has provided you with technical support?" Li Guangyi nodded after hearing Yang Hao's question and then took out a document to show him.

  "Take a look..." Yang Hao opened the file and found that it was full of human genetic codes, detailed reports on physiological structures, and a large number of chemical medicine prescriptions. On the last page, in the bottom right corner, Yang Hao discovered the most crucial sentence: "The above information comes from Xiangxi, China."

  "What? Is this virus from China?"

  "Ah... that's right... I just made some modifications based on it..." Yang Hao was stunned after hearing Li Guangyi's affirmative words and stood frozen in place for a moment... Could it be true that Master said it?? The origin of the zombie virus is related to the ancient Chinese living dead. It's not easy for everyone to walk to this day, please collect and send flowers generously...
