Chu Hao's voice was extremely soft. Basically, the people around him could not hear him. Moreover, everyone's attention was focused on the muscular black man. They did not notice Chu Hao's strange expression. The drivers of the few cars drove directly to the front of the damaged building. When the cars arrived there, the big dog immediately prostrated itself on the ground and barked loudly at the cars.
After everyone got out of the car and saw the number of people, the big dog understood human nature and kept retreating. However, when it retreated to the front of the muscular black man, it stopped retreating. It didn't even take a step back. It just roared at everyone with the fiercest expression. When everyone got closer, it even showed signs of wanting to pounce and bite them.
However, when the group got closer, the dog seemed to realize that the smell it smelled was not that of a mutant, but that of a real human. Immediately, the dog's growl became slightly lower, and it no longer bared its teeth and pounced on the group. Instead, it continued to guard the muscular black man and stared at the group without retreating a single step.
In the movie, this dog was originally very obedient. It protected its owner both physically and mentally. Without it, the male protagonist would have collapsed long ago. How could he have survived the apocalypse for so long? Later, it was infected in order to protect its owner. It could be said that this dog was the most important supporting role in this movie. Its importance was even greater than the female protagonist who appeared at the end of the movie. This dog was the male protagonist's hope of survival.
Chu Hao walked closer and squatted down. He did not care about the large dog's baring of its teeth. He slowly extended his hand and allowed the large dog to sniff his scent. At the same time, he waved his other hand at Xi Kong from behind. In just a few seconds, Xi Kong had already cut off the rope that was binding the male protagonist with her sword. At the same time, she helped him to the ground in one piece. The large dog immediately turned around and ignored Chu Hao and the others. It pounced on the male protagonist's side and kept on spinning and howling. It also kept on licking the male protagonist's face.
After this commotion, the male protagonist, who was supposed to take a while to wake up, woke up slowly. When he first woke up, his mind was still very muddled. However, his years of survival experience in New York allowed him to act instinctively in two or three seconds. The first thing he did was to reach for his gun. The next moment, he supported himself and stepped back because he thought the figures around him were mutants.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and his gun was placed in the car, so no accident happened. However, he was completely stunned. He looked at the people in front of him in a daze, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
In the end, Chu Hao stepped forward, walked to the front of the male protagonist, and saluted him. "Colonel Robert Neff? Are you okay? "
At this time, Robert Neff was much better than before. His mind had already recovered. When Chu Hao spoke, his body shook violently, and he recovered from the previous sluggishness. He immediately said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I'm Colonel Robert Neff. You … Who are you?"
Chu Hao immediately said, "I'm Major General Chu Hao, a member of the Virus Research Department in Area 51. I heard your message, so I rushed over from Area 51. Fortunately, I saved you. Otherwise, things would be really troublesome."
Immediately, Chu Hao briefly told the lies he told before, but this wasn't the time to talk about these things in detail. It was almost dusk, and although there was still sunlight, it was slowly setting. Everyone didn't dare to neglect it. After helping Robert Neff into the car, they rushed to his residence under his guidance. At this time, Robert Neff was sober, and he didn't make the same mistake as the female protagonist in the movie. After arriving at his residence, he ordered everyone to remove the smell with disinfectant. After that, everyone followed him into the residence.
This was a very common single-family villa on the street in the United States. After entering, Robert Neff asked everyone to put down the metal plates on the door and windows. Only then did he completely breathe a sigh of relief. He carefully looked at everyone again.
To put it bluntly, Robert Neff had doubts about the existence of Area 51, or rather, he didn't believe it. After all, although he wasn't a core member of the military, he was still a colonel. Even if he was just a civilian researcher who didn't lead troops, it was enough for him to know a lot of inside information about the military. Among the inside information he knew, there was no such thing as Area 51. It was most likely just a rumor.
However, after observing Chu Hao along the way, he doubted his judgment, because Chu Hao was indeed a soldier. Although he didn't show it in his attire, his military temperament couldn't be erased. Moreover, he didn't look like an ordinary soldier. Instead, he had the temperament of an elite soldier. At the same time, he also had the temperament of a military officer, a military strategist, a researcher, and a scientist. The temperament formed by such a mixture was not something an ordinary person could possess. Perhaps only the soldiers of Area 51 could possess such temperament.
Robert Neff had misunderstood Chu Hao. In the real world, Chu Hao was the leader of the rebel military organization. He had received very formal military training and was engaged in various research on memes and science. He was also a leader who commanded various people. That was why he had the temperament he had today. Anyone who knew a little about military affairs wouldn't doubt that he was a soldier. They would even think that he was a soldier who had been in a high position for a long time.
This was the case for Robert Neff. His original military rank was a colonel, while Chu Hao was a major general. Although it had been a few years since the end of the world, Robert Neff's memory of being a soldier was obviously very deep. After thinking that Chu Hao was indeed a soldier, his attitude changed a lot. The most obvious change was his obedience.
When they were outside, Chu Hao only said a few words to him. Now that they were back at home, they washed up and bandaged their wounds. Everyone took some simple canned food and sat in the living room. Robert Neff also found a chair and sat down. His head was bandaged at the moment. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I fell into a trap for no reason … Maybe there are foreign survivors who came to New York."
Everyone naturally knew the plot, but they didn't say anything. At this time, it was usually Chu Hao who would use the Great Deception, or rather, communicate with the plot characters.
As expected, Chu Hao immediately said, "No, Colonel. I took a brief look at the trap. It was very crude. Moreover, there was a dummy there. That dummy must be from the street area that you often go to, right?"
Robert Neff nodded. He frowned and thought about something. Chu Hao said directly, "Obviously, someone followed your scent and put the dummy there. Otherwise, it should be easy for you to find such an obvious trap … That is a trap set by the mutants."
"No, impossible!"
Robert Neff was so shocked that he knocked over the chair he was sitting on. He stood up and shouted, "This is impossible! Mutants have no intelligence. They are just a group of walking corpses produced after being infected by the virus! At most, they only have the residual desire to survive. To put it simply, they are similar to the creatures in the last stage of rabies who haven't died yet. How can such a creature set a trap!? "
After this roar, Robert Neff suddenly remembered the time and the person sitting in front of him was a major general. He immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Major General Chu, I … I shouldn't have been so loud, but this is impossible. I have personally killed many mutants and dissected them. I can confirm that they have no intelligence!"
Chu Hao didn't say much. He just said softly, "Maybe this was the case before, but now … these mutants are evolving."
"Evolving … evolving!?" Robert Neff almost exclaimed again.
"According to our research, this virus does cause the greatest damage to the human body in the early stages. A large number of humans died because they couldn't withstand this kind of damage. However, at the same time, this virus will deeply infect the human body. At the same time, according to the degree of infection, this kind of damage will be reduced. In the end, there will be mutants. In the initial stage of mutants, they are indeed driven by instinct. However, after so many years, those mutated body tissues and brain tissues have begun to slowly change and evolve to adapt to the changes in the body. Now, the smart ones among the mutants are estimated to be as smart as monkeys or even chimpanzees."
Robert Neff was a researcher and a virologist. Although he did not dare to believe it, it was more of his obsession with the mutants. After listening to Chu Hao's words, he pondered deeply. In the end, he had no choice but to painfully believe that the mutants were indeed evolving so that their bodies could better adapt to the virus. At the same time, they were getting further and further away from humans. This was the source of his pain.
"And it's not just these evolutions …"
Chu Hao then started to talk about everything that they had seen along the way. Of course, he focused on the mutated Japanese that they had seen along the way.
"… We finally got out of Area 51. After receiving your message, we used the materials in the base to make a simple hot air balloon and rushed to New York. Along the way, we saw too many mutants, including those who had evolved. Among them, the mutants had evolved to an extremely terrifying degree …"
Slowly, Chu Hao told Robert Neff these words. Robert Neff's eyes were already red with anxiety. He clenched his fists silently and murmured as if he had lost his mind, "This way, this way … this way, they will completely become a new race. Humans will never be able to return. Even if my research on the antidote is completed, such creatures will no longer be able to turn back into humans. No, we will become a virus instead. We will become a virus that will destroy the new intelligent race. We …"
This was despair, complete and utter despair. Robert Neff's struggle, his ultimate goal, his sacrifice of his wife and daughter, the goal that he had placed all his hopes on, had been shattered. In fact, at this moment, he was already thinking of death. Perhaps after a while, when he was alone, he would directly commit suicide by swallowing his own flesh.
But at this time, Chu Hao said again, "But this is not absolute … We may still have a last glimmer of hope."
Robert Neff immediately raised his head and looked at Chu Hao. He immediately said, "Hope? What hope is there? I've been researching the antidote for the virus, and I've made some progress. I've even captured a female mutant, but it's useless. The antidote is completely useless to the human body, and there are probably no more humans out there. We're the last humans. You and I both know about biology, and we can't reproduce with so few humans. Even if there are some remaining humans like you and me in the world, there are too few of them. The whole world is filled with mutants, and they've even evolved. We humans are finished, what hope is there? "
"There is …"
Chu Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Not all places in the world are mutants … We encountered a survivor camp on the way. They are all in the highlands, and they are all in the cold area. That's right! Mutants, and the virus that caused this catastrophe, are afraid of the cold! "
"We humans still have hope!"
