Chapter 734 About to leave
(My thoughts have been a bit mixed lately, so you can skip this section and start directly from the next one…)
The arrival of Anna and her son also made Robert's safe house more lively.
The little boy Ethan also liked the sheepdog Sam very much. In addition, Ethan's age was similar to Robert's daughter, which made Robert pay more attention to Ethan.
Finally, after some discussion among the group, they decided to go to Vermont together to see if there really was a survivor base.
However, before leaving here, you need to take those things that can be taken away, and also consider how to place the experimental subjects.
In fact, the situation of these experimental subjects is also very embarrassing. If they are treated as normal people, they can no longer take care of themselves. If they continue to be treated as night demons, they have recovered the physical signs of normal people.
If it was handed over to Lu Cheng, he would definitely not think too much about it, either leaving them alone to fend for themselves, or ending their suffering in advance.
But Robert and Anna thought more about it and even wanted to take all the experimental subjects with them to Vermont.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng spoke up and reminded him, "Robert, you have to think carefully about one question: Are those Night Demons willing to continue being Night Demons, or become the muddle-headed "people" they are now? Moreover, if we take them with us and wait until we reach the survivor base, will the survivors accept them? Even if they accept them, what will be their fate?"
Robert fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
Although the apocalypse had already begun for three years, and Robert had conducted experiments on many Night Demons, he had never really considered the question of whether these Night Demons were still human beings.
Moreover, the new vaccine developed by Robert also needs to be extracted from the bodies of these cured Night Demons.
If these people are brought to the survivor base, even if they are accepted by the survivors, they will most likely become tools for producing vaccines.
The issues involved here are very complicated. Robert is just a scientist who is devoted to research, not a philosopher, so it is difficult for him to make a decision at once.
Just before the few people were about to leave, a group of night demons wandered near Robert's safe house.
In a bedroom upstairs, Robert opened the window a little and observed the groups of demons in the distance through a telescope. He was very nervous and was ready to turn on all the defensive ultraviolet headlights around the safe house at any time, and detonate the explosives buried around it if necessary.
But those night demons didn't seem to have discovered Robert's safe house. They just gathered and partyed on the street in the distance.
Soon, the behavior of two of the night demons caught Robert's attention.
After observing carefully for a moment, Robert couldn't help but whispered: "Fuck, what did I see? They seem to have formed a certain organization. The one in the middle should be their leader. Aren't these guys only aware of bloodthirsty killing? Why do they have wisdom?"
"Not only that, they seem to have developed love. Look at the two Night Demons in the middle, one male and one female. They advance and retreat together, share food together, and have formed absolute leadership over other Night Demons... Perhaps they are also evolving."
"Have they really become another species?"
When Robert thought of this question, he felt a little heavy in his heart. If this is true, would those night demons still be willing to turn back into normal people?
Lu Cheng didn't say much. Being familiar with the original movie, he naturally knew that those night demons no longer considered him human and had never thought of turning back into humans.
When humans dominate this society, the existence of those night demons is an anomaly.
But when the Night Demons take the dominant position and the remaining humans can only survive, humans may become aliens in the eyes of those Night Demons.
The two observed for a long time and confirmed that the night demons were not approaching the safe house before they relaxed.
After a long night, when the daylight grew brighter, the night demons that were active at night gradually dispersed, and the city became somewhat quiet.
After some struggle and thinking, Robert finally re-injected the experimental subjects with a sufficient amount of KV virus, turning them back into night demons, and sent them to a basement far away.
Afterwards, they packed their bags, took the successfully developed serum and necessary experimental equipment, and drove to Vermont in two cars.
"I'm Anna Damons, and we are survivors. I'm on my way to Vermont with Dr. Robert, Mr. Lu, a boy named Ethan, and a dog named Sam. If you are also a survivor, please turn on your radio and listen to our broadcasts. You are not alone. Please keep hope in your heart and stay tuned!"
While on the way, they kept broadcasting the radio, hoping to find more survivors.
But until they entered Vermont, they did not find any survivors.
It was not until they entered the Besser City area that they received a broadcast from the survivors' base.
Afterwards, they successfully found a survivor base in a small town in the mountains.
This was originally a military base. When the KV virus spread here, it happened to be winter, and the virus was least active. In addition, the management of this military camp was relatively strict, which reduced the infection rate here to the lowest.
Afterwards, the managers of the military camp made a quick decision, quarantined the infected people, and preserved the base.
Later, other survivors who were immune to the virus came here one after another, and gradually formed a complete survivor base.
When the base manager learned that Robert and others had brought vaccines, he immediately warmly welcomed them and settled them down.
After entering the survivor base, Lu Cheng received a task completion notification from the system: "Congratulations host, the main task has been completed, Sam survived until Robert developed a vaccine..."
After receiving the task notification sound, Lu Cheng was still a little dazed. This should be the easiest task he had ever completed. The fact that it was finished so quickly meant that he could leave this world at any time.
Perhaps, it is because Lu Cheng’s current level is high enough, and he not only has extraordinary combat power, but can also help Robert develop a vaccine as soon as possible, so he can complete the task so quickly without even having to deal with doomsday survival.
However, Lu Cheng did not leave here immediately.
It is rare to come to a world with a post-apocalyptic background. Everything around him does have a different kind of freshness for Lu Cheng, who has lived for thousands of years.
Therefore, after staying at the survivor base for a few days, Lu Cheng said goodbye to Robert and others and embarked on a journey alone, ready to take a good look at the world after the disaster. When he wanted to leave, he would start his next journey...
(I have been a bit confused recently, my mind is a mess, and I feel like I can’t get excited about anything. I have sorted out my thoughts in the past two days, carefully selected the remaining copies, and completed the next story seriously...)
