Chapter Fourteen: Hope and Despair
Chu Hao's words were extremely small, and others could not hear them. And now everyone's mind was on the strong black man, and they did not notice Chu Hao's strange expression. The drivers of several cars drove the car directly to the damaged building. When the car drove there, the big dog immediately leaned on the ground and shouted loudly at the vehicle.
After everyone got off the car, when they saw the number of people, the big dog kept retreating with human nature. However, when it retreated below the strong black man, it never retreated again, and did not step back. It just yelled at everyone with the most fierce expression. When everyone approached, it even showed the action of slapping.
However, when everyone got closer, the dog seemed to notice that the smell was not a mutant, but a real human. The roar was slightly lowered, and there was no grinning at the teeth. It was just still standing below the strong black man without retreating, and staring at everyone.
This dog is well-behaved in the plot of the movie and protects his master. Whether it is body or mind, if it is not available, the male protagonist would have collapsed long ago. Can he still last for this doomsday for a long time? Then he was infected to protect his master. It can be said that this dog is the most important supporting role in this movie, and its importance is even far more than the heroine appearing at the end of the movie. This dog is the hope for the male protagonist to survive.
Chu Hao walked closer, then squatted down, and regardless of the grinning movements made by the big dog, he slowly handed his hand on it, allowing the big dog to smell his scent. At the same time, his other hand swayed gently behind Nian Xikong. It took only a few seconds. Nian Xikong had already cut off the rope that bound the male protagonist with his sword, and at the same time helped him to the ground intact. The big dog immediately turned around, no longer caring about Chu Hao and others, and rushed to the male protagonist's side, constantly rotating and roaring, and kept licking the male protagonist's face.
After this movement, the male protagonist, who had already taken a while to wake up, woke up slowly. When he woke up, he was still very conscious. However, his experience of living alone in New York for many years made him instinctively move in two or three seconds. At the first time, he reached out to the place where he fired his gun, and then he supported himself and retreated because he regarded the figures around him as mutants.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and his gun was placed in the car by him, so no accident happened. However, he was completely stunned and stared at everyone in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It was Chu Hao who walked forward, walked to the male protagonist, then saluted a military salute and said, "Col. Robert Nefer? Are you okay?"
At this time, Robert was much better than before, and his mind had recovered. When Chu Hao said that, his body suddenly shook, and he had already come back from the previous dullness. He immediately said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, I am Colonel Robert Neffer, you...who are you?"
Chu Hao immediately said: "I am Major General Chu Hao, a member of the Virus Research Department of District 51, the United States. I heard your message and rushed over from District 51. Fortunately, I saved you, otherwise things would be really hard to handle."
At this moment, Chu Hao briefly said the lies he had told before, but it was not the time to talk about these things in detail. It was already dusk, and although there was still sunshine, it was indeed slowly falling. Everyone did not dare to neglect them. After helping Robert Neffer to the car, he rushed to his residence under his guidance. At this time, Robert Neffer was awake and did not make the mistake of the heroine in the movie. After he arrived at the residence, he ordered everyone to use disinfectant to remove the smell. It was not until then that everyone followed him into the residence.
This is a very common street-side single-family villa in the United States. After entering, Robert Nefer asked everyone to put down the metal plates of the door and windows. Until then, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everyone carefully again.
To be honest, Robert Nefer is puzzled or unbelievable. After all, although he is not a high-level military core, he can become a colonel, even if he is a civilian, a researcher who does not lead troops is enough to know many inside stories of the military. Among the inside stories he knows, there is no existence of District 51 at all, which is highly likely just a folk rumor.
But when he observed Chu Hao along the way, he hesitated to his judgment, because Chu Hao was indeed a soldier. Although he was not shown in anything, the temperament of a soldier could not be erased. He was not like an ordinary soldier, but the most elite, the temperament of a soldier king, and it was also mixed with military civilian strategy personnel and researchers, with some scientists' temperament. The temperament formed was not something that ordinary people could have. Perhaps it was really something that only soldiers in District 51 could have.
This is Robert Nefer who misunderstood Chu Hao. Chu Hao is the head of the military organization of the rebels in the real world. He has received extremely formal military training and is engaged in various research on memes and science. He is also the head of the people and commands various characters. Therefore, he has the current temperament. He said that he is a soldier, and he will not doubt it as long as he knows a little, and he will also think that he is the kind of soldier who has been in the top position for a long time.
This is what Robert Nefer is now. His original military rank was colonel, and Chu Hao was a major general. Although the end of the world has passed, his memory of soldiers is obviously extremely profound in his mind. After thinking that Chu Hao was indeed a soldier, his attitude towards speaking had changed greatly. The most obvious thing is that there was an extra kind of obedience.
When he was away before, Chu Hao said a few simple words to him. At this moment, he returned to his home. After changing and bandaging the wound, everyone sat in the hall with simple canned food. Robert Nefer also found a chair to sit down. He was bandaged on his head at this moment. After sitting down, he smiled first: "Sorry, I fell into a trap for no reason... Maybe an outside survivor came to New York."
Of course, everyone knew the plot well, but they didn't say anything. At this time, Chu Hao usually uses big tricks, no, it is to communicate with the characters in the plot.
Chu Hao immediately said, "No, Colonel, I took a brief look at that trap. It was very rough, and there was a dummy there. That dummy must be from the outside block you often go to, right?"
Robert Nefer nodded, he frowned and thought about something, and Chu Hao said directly: "It's obvious that someone was looking for your scent and putting the dummy there. Otherwise, such an obvious trap, you should easily realize... it was a trap set by mutants."
"No, it's impossible!"
Robert Nefer was shocked and knocked the chair he was sitting on to Green. He stood up and shouted: "This is impossible! Mutants are not smart. They are just a group of walking dead bodies that are infected by the virus! At most, there is only the residual desire for survival in the body. To put it simply, similar to creatures that have not yet died in the end of rabies. How can such creatures set traps? "
After this roar, Robert Nevert suddenly remembered the time now and the major general sitting in front of him. He immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Major General Chu, I... I shouldn't have been so loud, but this is impossible. I have killed many mutants myself and dissected them. I confirm that they have no intelligence display!"
Chu Hao didn't say much, he just whispered: "Maybe it was like this before, but now... these mutants are evolving."
"Evolution...evolution!?" Robert Nefer almost said in surprise again.
"According to our research, this virus does damage the human body to the greatest extent in the early stage. A large number of human deaths are unable to withstand this kind of damage. However, while the destruction is the same, this virus will infect the human body in a deep level. At the same time, depending on the degree of infection, this kind of damage will be reduced, and mutants will eventually appear. In the initial stage of mutants, it is indeed only driven by instinct. However, over the years, the mutated body tissues and mutated brain tissues have begun to slowly change and evolve to adapt to the body changed by the virus. Now the smart group of mutants is probably about the same as monkeys and even chimpanzees."
Robert Nefer is a researcher and a virologist. Although he couldn't believe it, it was actually more of his obsession with the mutant. In Chu Hao's words, he pondered and finally had to believe in pain that the mutant was indeed evolving so that the body could adapt to the virus more, and at the same time, it was getting farther and farther away from humans. This was the source of his pain.
"And, it's not just these evolutions..."
Chu Hao next talked about everything that everyone saw along the way, and of course they focused on the mutant days they saw on the road.
"...We finally came out of Area 51. After getting your message, we used the materials from the base to make a simple hot air balloon and rushed to New York. Along the way, we saw too many mutants, including those evolved mutants, among which mutants have evolved to an extremely terrible level..."
Slowly, Chu Hao said all these words, and Robert Nefer's eyes were almost red. He silently pinched his palm and murmured with a loss of mind: "This, this...this will completely become a new race, and humans will not be able to return. Even if my antidote is completed, such creatures will no longer be able to turn them into humans. No, we are viruses, we have become viruses that destroy the new wisdom race, we..."
This is despair, a complete despair. Robert Never's struggle has been a struggle. His ultimate goal, his sacrifice of his wife and daughter, and his goal of sacrificing all his hopes is shattered. In fact, he has thought of death at this moment. Perhaps as long as he waits for a while, he will swallow himself and commit suicide when he is alone.
But at this time, Chu Hao said again: "But this is not absolute... We may have the last glimmer of hope."
Robert Nefer immediately looked up and looked at Chu Hao. He immediately said, "Hope? What else is there? I have been studying the antidote of the virus. I have made some progress before and captured a female mutant, but it is useless. The antidote is completely useless and useless to the human body. And now there may be no humans outside. We are the last humans. You and I know biology. Such a few humans cannot reproduce at all. Even if there are some residual humans in the world like you and me, the number is too small. The whole world is mutant, and they have evolved. We humans are finished. What hope is there!"
"some……"
Chu Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Not all parts of the world are mutants... We met the survivor camp halfway through. They are all in the plateau and 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!"
