The rebirth of the doomsday scholar

Chapter 21

"Dad!" Lu Ming grabbed the small black box and stretched out his hand as if trying to adjust the voice more clearly, but he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would not even be able to hear the voice.

"Time is short, let me make a long story short, don't ask," Lu's father over there paused briefly, "This is not the world anymore—it should be a large-scale epidemic caused by meteorites falling from meteor showers... I secretly made the first step. Research, unable to determine the type of virus, unlike any previous flu or black death or SARS, it may be more serious than those. The most obvious target organs are muscle joints and brain tissue. Infected people will have symptoms such as joint stiffness and emotional loss... ..."

At this time, a heavy breathing suddenly sounded from the other end of the communication, not like a human voice, but like a beast.That voice seemed to be in infinite pain.Then it seemed that the chair was moving. It should be that Lu's father left the place where he was talking, walked to the side of the screaming beast, and said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound."

Lu Ming and Lin Wei looked at each other, Lin Wei almost immediately thought of something, and quickly turned away.Lu Ming also ignored his father's password ban, and shouted to the other side, "Dad, where is my mother? What's wrong with her—"

The beast suddenly let out a cry, as if it was touched by his voice, and the movement of the struggle became louder.Papa Lu stayed there for quite a while before the beast's voice became slightly lower.

Father Lu walked back, "...infected people move slowly but are tireless. They have degraded human intelligence and lack of emotion. They will launch indiscriminate attacks on normal people and even relatives and friends. They will... eat..." His tone here slightly fluctuating.

"What about mom? You didn't answer me, what happened to my mom?"

At this time, the "beast" who had been quieter suddenly became manic again, and the heavy breathing seemed to be right next to his ears.

Father Lu shouted, "Don't ask!"

"I want to come! The boat ticket is ready!"

"It's useless!"

Hearing the angry shout, Lu Ming almost immediately raised his hands to cover his face.Lin Wei was still sensible, and could hear a trill behind Lu's father's stern voice.

Suddenly it became quiet, and the rustling background sound seemed to be amplified several times.

Seeing that Lu Ming couldn't recover for a while, Lin Wei couldn't help but move closer to the black box, "Uncle, I'm Lu Ming's classmate. How is the situation in country B now? We haven't reported any news at all."

"Eh?" Dad Lu's voice changed rarely, obviously he only knew about her existence, but the situation was critical, so he didn't have time to ask further, "After the meteor shower, the first batch of people who left arrived in country A and appeared to mutate and attack. Country B has taken extreme measures to block access to country B, controlled the media, and blocked the communication signal between country B and the outside world—country B has now become an isolated island."

Can this black box bypass the shield?Lin Wei suppressed her curiosity and turned to focus on more important things. "—Has anyone ever left country B?"

"Yes. At least one private plane left country B to country A after the meteor shower landed. It was the strange behavior of those passengers that caused a strong reaction from country A. I also want to check the others, but the news has been blocked."

Lin Wei thought that Lu's father deserved to be the father of a schoolmaster, and he could still maintain enough calmness and action at this time, but she could only ask cruelly, "Uncle, are you...safe now?"

There was a moment of silence over there, and suddenly asked a strange question, not her, "Mingming, is she one of my own?"

"She is." Lu Ming didn't let go of his hand covering his face, and his voice was a little choked up, but the meaning conveyed was affirmative.

Father Lu got this answer, fell silent for a moment, and sighed, "No, I've been infected."

Lu Ming let go of the hand covering his face, "Dad, is it—"

"That's right." Lu's father seemed to know what his son was going to ask, "This virus is mutating at any time, and the incubation period is shorter than it was at the beginning. I estimate it will be half an hour at most, and it will be... the same as her."

Hearing him talk about the terrible future so calmly and objectively, Lin Wei burst into tears.

"Mingming, are you in the basement now? What do you and... this classmate call?"

Lin Wei endured her sourness, "...My name is Lin Wei."

"Okay, Lu Ming, Lin Wei, you two should be the first to know about this matter in country C at this moment, and even the whole world doesn't know much now-don't panic, and don't tell everyone right away. This signal Although I avoided the jammer in country B, the frequency may also be caught, it can't be too long, let alone—"

Papa Lu paused at this point, and Lin Wei could probably guess the half of what he hadn't said.He had estimated before, half an hour at most, not much left.

"Observed so far, it is only found that cutting off the connection between the mutant's head and the body can cause death, shooting or cutting... Maybe the actions of the mutant are based on peripheral nerves... But there are many that cannot be explained by scientific principles ... Forget it, you don't need to know this ... the basement is a very good barrier ... it will spread to you in the future and can be used for shelter."

It can be seen that as time passed, Father Lu was obviously not as rational as he was at the beginning, and his speech was also a bit intermittent, and even the breathing that paused between words began to approach the rhythm of the beast.

"Dad, what else? Is there anything else I can do?"

Father Lu on the other end gasped, as if he was struggling with something invisible, "...No. I used to be too strict with you...I didn't even allow you to watch a cartoon when you were young...What's the name of that cartoon? A group of people played basketball... Later, I brought you a set of original comics on a business trip... You haven't opened them..."

"I, I won't watch it, Dad, I won't watch it—"

"Look. As a father, I owe a lot... The family's expectations may not have been fulfilled... I don't want to ask you for anything anymore... It's good to be safe... It's almost the same... It seems that there is movement from the monitor downstairs... ...Mingming, come, say hello to your mother..."

The communicator over there seemed to have been moved, and the heavy breathing of the previous beast sounded again.

"mom--"

The "beast" screamed and made a lot of noise. Lin Wei felt that she could hear the uneasiness and reluctance in it—the kind of instinctive emotion no matter whether it is a human or a beast.

Father Lu took back the communicator, cheered himself up, and jokingly said, "—Unfortunately, I don't know what classmate Lin looks like."

Lin Wei suddenly had an impulse, and said unexpectedly, "She looks like a beautiful woman."

Father Lu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "That's even better."

Papa Lu whispered something to the beast again, but Lin Wei couldn't hear it, but found that Papa Lu's voice to the beast was really unexpected...gentle.

The communicator was taken back, "Son, goodbye."

After a soft sound, the voice from the communicator completely disappeared.

There are no harsh words from Lu's father, the heavy breathing of the beast, and there is not even a rustling sound in the background.

Lu Ming stared blankly at the black box, picked it up and shook it, pulled up and retracted a few wires, turned the button to the end and turned it back... But no matter what, there was no sound from inside.

Lin Wei looked at him worriedly.

Lu Ming suddenly put down the box and rushed out.

"Where are you going?" Lin Wei followed.

Lu Ming didn't speak.Seeing that he rushed to the exit, he took out the key and opened the door with trembling hands.

"Don't go! It's useless!" Lin Wei opened his hand in a hurry, hugged his waist and shouted.

The key fell to the ground in an arc.

Lu Ming stared blankly, then suddenly turned around and pressed Lin Wei against the wall.

Trapped between his arms, the grief and rage around him filled the small gap. Lin Wei suddenly felt breathless, and couldn't even meet his eyes, so she could only say, "You... calm down first, don't impulse……"

"Calm down? By the way, why are you so calm?" Lu Ming asked suddenly, although he was still choked up, but more sharply.

"I..." Unexpectedly, he asked this question, Lin Wei felt that she couldn't argue with it, and could only say, "I am a bystander! I am cold-blooded! Can I be ruthless?"

"Look at me talking—" Lu Ming deeply locked her eyes, "You knew that such a day would come, didn't you?"

Lin Wei wasn't ready to tell her biggest secret, and she was anxious, "Wow, where, how would I know."

"Look at me." Lu Ming fixed her face with both hands, not letting her avoid it, "You clearly told me that there will be changes in the future, let me be prepared."

"At that time, didn't I think... Jianghu goodbye, so I can't say a few more words before parting?"

"The one at the animal center? Are you used to telling everyone to drop out of school to save their lives?"

Why did his mind suddenly clear up, and he remembered everything.

Lin Wei was silent.

"Why do you know?" Lu Ming asked expressionlessly.The hand that fixed her head did not relax at all, it seemed that she would not stop until she got an answer.

Lin Wei was really unable to resist his gaze, so she could only close her eyes and answer——

"because……"

"—Because I am a top student."
