344 There is No Antidote

Downstairs, Kong Qingming gloated over what Lu Tianyi had just experienced, saying, "See, you're suspected because you want to be kind to them. This is the result of minding other people's business."

Lu Tianyi turned around and rolled his eyes as he responded crossly while walking, "Am I here to mind other people's business? I only came here to confirm if that Miss. Lu mentioned in the messages you received is her. I don't care about those people at all."

He came here only because he wanted to see her.

"Ah, you don't care about them," said Kong Qingming. "Then, why did you drag all of us out so late at night just to deliver the message to them? And yet, they didn't thank you."

"I don't want those two girls to cause her any troubles," said Lu Tianyi.

"Alright, whatever you say!" Kong Qingming shrugged, "Ugh, just now, your big sister said that she needs to solve another problem. What is that?"

Lu Tianyi thought for a moment, then said, "I guess she has discovered someone suspicious. She has much keener sensations than we do, so she might have found some things or someone that we haven't yet. Besides, the people whom Yang Chao sent to attack those people can't be the brainless ones like Piao Gecang."

Kong Qingming said with surprise, "Not Piao Gecang? But, he did come here for Lin Wenwen and the other girl, didn't he?"

"Maybe Piao Gecang wasn't sent here by Yang Chao. Maybe he wanted to come," said Lu Tianyi.

Kong Qingming looked at him and stayed silent for a while to think, then felt that it was possible.



On the other side, Lin Qiao quietly followed behind Tang He. Soon, she found out that he was actually heading to the research institute. At that time, the research institute was empty, as all the staff had been off work. However, the door was wide open, and the lock seemed to have been molten.

Tang He glanced at the distorted lock, then walked in, with Lin Qiao quietly following behind him.

After a short while of walking, she saw Tang He stop before an isolation room. The door was opened as well. Through the glass wall, she saw a stairway that went down. From down there, she saw a faint light, and heard some people talking.

Tang He looked around. Seeing that it was all quiet with no one else there, he walked into the isolation room and then went downstairs.

Lin Qiao didn't follow him down immediately, but spent a short while observing the things in the room. There were some glass jars in the room that contained human body parts, soaking in liquid.

After taking a few glances at those jars, she went down the stairs as well.

It was a spiral staircase, at the other end of which was a very large laboratory right under the isolation room. The laboratory was illuminated by a few energy saving lamps. Some sealed large glass boxes were placed there in lines.

At first glance, Lin Qiao spotted the zombies in those glass boxes. Those zombies were chained and gagged, their eyes covered.

She knew that those zombies weren't dead. However, they all looked drained, as a large amount of their blood has been drawn out of their body for experiments.

She didn't look at those glass boxes closely, but turned to the other side, which had a laboratory with glass walls. What was happening in there didn't seem good.

She walked over. Apart from Tang He who just came down, Piao Gecang was also in there. At the moment, his face had paled, eyes had sunken, and lips had turned purple.

There were two other people in the laboratory; Lin Qiao had seen both of them. One of them was a bearded man, whom Lin Qiao remembered to be a doctor. The woman was his assistant. Her neck was gripped in Piao Gecang's hand, and she was turning back to look at him with icy-cold eyes.

"Liang Dashu… eh, I know you… you have developed the serum against the zombie virus… Give me… give it to me… Or, I'll kill this woman!" Piao Gecang put one arm around Moli's neck to threaten to strangle her while reaching a hand toward Liang Dashu and yelling at him.

Liang Dashu looked at him calmly and said, "Deputy Chief Piao, do you know what your face looks like now? It's as pale as a piece of paper, and your eyes have sunken, with dark circles under them. Also, your lips are purple. The virus inside your body is going to infect your brain soon. Do you know that?"

Hearing his description, Piao Gecang popped his scary-looking eyes and shouted with both fright and anger, "Cut the crap! Give me the antidote… Give me the antidote now…" He stuttered and his voice was trembling, but he couldn't help it.

Liang Dashu just looked at him. However, before he could say anything, Moli—whose neck was squeezed in Piao Gecang's hand—began talking.

"There's no antidote. Doctor Liang didn't develop an antidote. The more anxious you are, the faster the virus will spread."

Piao Gecang tightened his arm, then lowered her head and glared at her while cursing, "Shut up! B*tch… Don't, don't expect me to believe you…"

"Eh-hem…" Moli's neck was strangled, which disabled her from breathing and made her cough. Right at that moment, Tang He, who had been quietly hiding behind the door, suddenly walked in.

"I don't know if you have an antidote or not, but I do know that you're all gonna die."

He didn't believe that this bearded doctor was truly able to develop an antidote. However, he understood that Piao Gecang was going to turn into a zombie, and the other two who knew about that had to die as well.

"Who are you?" Liang Dashu stared at him and yelled alertly.

"You… Why are you here? It's not like that… I can still be saved…" Seeing Tang He, the look on Piao Gecang's face changed drastically. He shook his head with fright and tried very hard to explain.

Tang He walked in and looked at him while speaking, "He's right. You look no different from a zombie now. Don't you feel that your limbs are turning stiff? Don't you feel cold? Do you have an urge to chew flesh and drink blood?"

Hearing that, Piao Gecang suddenly lowered his head and fixed his eyes on the veins in Moli's neck. His eyes showed his hunger and desire.

Right at that moment, Liang Dashu suddenly took out his hands which had been hiding in his pockets. He swung one hand forward to throw three injectors toward Piao Gecang, and the other backward to pull a gun. He pulled out the gun and pointed it at Tang He.

But still, he had underestimated his enemies.

Piao Gecang quickly raised his head and clenched the fingers of his hand which was reaching toward Liang Dashu, catching the three injectors. Meanwhile, when Liang Dashu prepared to fire the gun, the gun suddenly fell apart.

'This is bad!' Liang Dashu said to himself upon watching that happen. He dropped the gun, but the gun didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it floated before his face, distorting quickly.

At the same moment, Moli abruptly took a step sideways, then turned and gripped Piao Gecang's arm with both hands. After that, she bent her body and violently threw him away.

Thud!

Piao Gecang was thrown onto the ground violently. Lying on his stomach, he looked around with confusion, as he didn't know what had happened and how he was thrown to the ground.
