When everyone returned to the safe house, it was around six in the morning. The sky was still dark. When everyone entered the room, they immediately asked Billis if Chu Hao had returned.
However, it was a pity that no one returned. Other than them, Chu Hao did not return before them.
Everyone was speechless, silent, and anxious. As time passed, their emotions became more and more obvious. Even the foodie Xi Kong did not eat much. She only ate some bread, ham, leftover barbecued meat, fruits, and canned food …
As time passed, it was already eight in the morning. The sun outside was very bright. The mutants would not appear under such circumstances. Zhang Heng finally could not help but stand up and say, "We can't keep waiting like this. Now that the sun is out, let's go out and look for him. What do you think?"
Compared to Zhang Heng's impulsive behavior, Xi Kong's nonchalant eating, and Tom's eagerness to eat like Zhang Heng's follower, Aoqi was much calmer. He said, "Where are we going to find them? Do you know where the captain led them to? The whole of New York is so big. Even the surroundings of the research institute are so big. The range of my psychic scan is insignificant. Where can we find him? Moreover, the captain's order is for us to wait here and not run out to look for him. What if we are not here when he comes back and he is seriously injured and needs us to bandage him? "
"That's exactly why!" Zhang Heng almost roared. "What if he fought a bloody battle for a whole night and survived, but he fainted because of excessive blood loss? If we don't save him, who will?! "
Aoqi nodded. He looked at the others and said, "Okay, we will leave some people here to stay. The rest will go out and look for him. This way, we can take care of both sides."
At this time, Billis carefully raised her hand and said, "Then I will stay here. I have learned how to bandage wounds. If the captain comes back, I can bandage him."
Zhang Heng nodded. He said to Tom, "Then Tom, Colonel Robert Neff, please stay here because we don't know the exact situation of the captain's return. Although it is impossible for the mutants to appear during the day, to prevent other things from happening, you should stay here. Also … Steri, you will go out and look for him with us."
Steri frowned when he heard this, but he sat there without moving.
Zhang Heng's intention was actually very simple. He wanted to drag Steri out so that he and Xi Kong could take care of him. At least he wouldn't be able to do anything else. Otherwise, if they left him here with them, not to mention whether Tom and Robert Neff could control him, what if Chu Hao really came back with serious injuries? Who knew what Steri's abilities were? It would be too late to regret it if he used some underhanded means.
Zhang Heng chuckled when he saw Stern's attitude. He walked to Stern's side and placed his hand on Stern's shoulder affectionately. Then, using a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "Do you want me to repeat myself? Go out and look for him with us … You will die … "
The last four words were not clear, but Steri understood what Zhang Heng meant. The veins on his hand bulged. Although it was only for a moment, he immediately relaxed his body. At the same time, he smiled humbly and said, "Why would I? I'm just tired because I didn't sleep for the whole day. That's why I didn't react in time. Captain didn't come back, so I'm very anxious. "
Zhang Heng smiled meaningfully and said, "Is that so? That's good. Then go out and look for him with us. "
Right at this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door. Then, someone knocked on the door. Everyone was stunned at first. Then, a few of them ran to the door hastily and opened it. As expected, they saw Chu Hao standing there.
Chu Hao did look a little disheveled. He was covered in mud, and there were also black mud on his hands. There were some scratches on his body and face, but other than that, there were no injuries on his body. It was completely different from what they had imagined. It could be said that he was almost uninjured.
Everyone quickly welcomed Chu Hao into the hall. Other than Robert Neff who went out with disinfectant to clean up the smell, the others curiously asked Chu Hao what he had done. Not to mention his disheveled state, where did he hide from the mutated humans?
After Chu Hao drank some water, he simply said that he found a random building and hid in a hidden spot for the entire night. Naturally, everyone did not believe him. They had seen it with their own eyes through the Psychic Scan. Hundreds of mutated humans chased after Chu Hao from the streets of the research institute. With such a large number of mutated humans, it was impossible for them to hide as they wished. Those mutated humans were strong, fast, and had a strong sense of smell. If they discovered any trace of Chu Hao, they would really tear down the building directly. There was no need to talk about hiding in the dark at all.
However, after Chu Hao finished this sentence, he did not care if everyone believed him or not. He said directly, "Everyone has been working hard for the whole night. I'm sure everyone is very tired now. Let's eat something and go to sleep. Wake up in the afternoon and go to the research institute before dusk. If our design is successful, we will stay in the research institute tonight.
"No way!"
Several people sighed. Not to mention the safety of the research institute, just the smell and filth was enough to make people not want to stay there, let alone live in it. The stench was probably enough to make people die.
Although it's not big, it's enough for us to live in. The only thing we need to worry about is the source of electricity. This requires an engine, and it's not just one or two engines. We'll be busy for the next few days. There's also enough fuel and so on. Moreover, we have to think of a way to cover up the noise of the engine. However, we're running out of time, so we don't have the right to choose. We'll move into the research institute this afternoon, so it's settled. "
Since Chu Hao had said so, everyone could only agree helplessly. Moreover, they were indeed extremely tired. Previously, it was because Chu Hao had not returned and everyone was worried about him. That was why they were able to endure it. Now that they had relaxed, almost everyone was yawning non-stop. At that moment, they did not say much. Everyone returned to their own rooms to sleep and rest. However, what they did not know was …
In the research institute, the liquid state of the antidote flowed out of the broken bottle and began to evaporate naturally, forming a colorless gas with a faint smell. This gas was very volatile, and it quickly spread out from the broken bottle. Soon, it spread throughout the entire research institute. At this time, there were thousands of mutants in the entire research institute. The mutants who first breathed in this gas began to twitch and howl crazily as they fell to the ground. If one looked at it from a microscopic point of view, the virus in their bodies was rapidly decreasing. Soon, these mutants directly died in the research institute. Although they did not die immediately, death was only a matter of time.
It was the same for the ordinary mutants, the female mutants, and the young mutants. Even the leader of the mutants, a strong mutant whose body was no longer human, was the same. The mutants in the entire research institute began to die one after another. Of course, it was not that there were no mutants who tried to escape from the research institute, but at this time, it was broad daylight. The few mutants who rushed out of the research institute directly had their skin smoking directly under the sun. They were like the legendary vampires. Soon, their bodies were scorched by the sun. Although they did not turn into ashes, the virus in their bodies also died. These mutants could not escape the fate of death.
But … this was not the end …
In the microscopic world that could not be seen by the human eye, in the research institute, in the excrement of these mutants, on the food they bit, or in some of their fluids, the virus was quickly being killed by the antidote. And while they were being killed, a strange, wave-like frequency was being emitted more and more intensely. In the end, after all the viruses were killed, this frequency finally reached its peak. In the end, although the frequency disappeared because of the virus, the traces of its existence were so obvious.
With New York as the center, this frequency rapidly spread to the surrounding areas. In these areas, all the mutants who had evolved to a certain extent opened their eyes even when they were sleeping during the day. In the darkness, they looked in the direction of the frequency from New York. Their eyes were red, their breathing became rapid, and some even roared …
None of this was known to humans …
At this moment, Team Nordic and Colonel Robert Neff were still sleeping soundly …
At the same time, in New York City, a woman and a child were still wandering in New York City …
