The driver of the SUV dodged quickly, and with a bang, a wrecked car parked on the side of the road was smashed into the ground. The giant dog's hooves grazed the edge of the SUV and stepped on it, and the rearview mirror was smashed off with a bang. The captain, who was standing on the sunroof of the SUV, lost his footing and flung the rocket launcher in his hand. The captain was shocked. If he lost it, he didn't know what to do with the giant dog. If he didn't kill the giant dog, Zhao Qiang wouldn't have time to save everyone. In that case, the whole army would be wiped out.
In just a moment, the rocket launcher flew down in an arc when suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed it. The man and launcher were then propelled into the air. The giant dog opened its jaws, ready to bite the captain's SUV to pieces. Zhao Qiang fired a rocket at the dog's mouth. The explosion, from the inside out, shattered the dog's head, and its massive body crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
The captain clenched his fist and shouted, "Yay, Zhao Qiang, go save them!" The captain pointed and saw that the soldiers, who had run out of bullets, could no longer protect the TV station staff. Almost every vehicle was attacked by the mutants, and some were even stopped. It would take only a few moments for the vehicles to be breached, and it was possible that not a single survivor would reach the laboratory.
Zhao Qiang knew that every second of delay would result in human infection. If he used the electromagnetic gun to eliminate the mutants one by one, there would be no time to kill them. What should he do? Zhao Qiang didn't have much time to hesitate. He immediately activated his energy to decompose a series of bullets. The bullets hovered in front of him, looking like a 3D image. Then, propelled by powerful energy, and with X-ray vision glasses scanning the specific locations of each mutant in advance, the super biochip assigned a trajectory and target to each bullet. Whoosh, the bullets scattered in all directions.
As soon as the sound of bullets piercing the air was heard, bursts of blood appeared before their eyes. Then, an astonishing scene unfolded: the mutants within the attack range were all shot in the head at the same time, falling to the ground and dying almost in quick succession. Just moments ago, they were fighting to the death, but suddenly the enemy vanished, and the battlefield went from noisy to death, the atmosphere oppressive.
Captain "Shooter" swore, "What's going on here?"
An American soldier said, "God, it must be the Lord's mercy that has come to save us."
Donna muttered to herself, "Is this...is this possible? Is he...is he even human?"
Yang Shiyun said smugly, "So what? One day I can do that too."
Donna glared at Yang Shiyun: "Stop bragging. Do you even know what just happened?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Of course I know... but I won't tell you."
Donna asked, "Why? You don't mean you don't know at all, do you?"
Yang Shiyun said, "It's for no reason, it's just to keep it a secret from you. You don't need to provoke me, I won't tell you."
Donna said, "If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Anyway, I have a way to get the answer from Zhao Qiang."
Yang Shiyun snorted: "He won't tell you."
Donna glanced at Yang Shiyun's chest: "I'll find a way to make him talk." The meaning was obvious. Donna's figure was more voluptuous than Yang Shiyun's, and she would use her body to seduce Zhao Qiang and make him reveal his secret. If Donna couldn't find out the secret of how Zhao Qiang could instantly kill countless mutants, she would be tormented day and night and unable to sleep.
Yang Shiyun snorted again, and she thrust out her chest. Then, something even more surprising happened to Donna. Yang Shiyun's clothes were rapidly stretched open, and her breasts suddenly increased in size by several cup sizes as if they had exploded. Her already full breasts were now surging like waves, as if someone was inflating them with an air needle.
"What...what happened to you?" Donna asked, trembling.
Yang Shiyun smugly snorted, "Don't think you're the only one with breasts. I can make them as big as I want." Wanwei was controlling her body. This body had originally been modified by her, and it was very easy for her to enhance the effect of a certain part.
Donna was speechless. Her breasts, which she had been so proud of just moments before, now seemed utterly vulnerable. The Chinese are truly amazing.
Zhao Qiang was exhausted, and his legs gave way, almost causing him to collapse. Controlling such a large number of warheads required an immense amount of energy, but the results were remarkable—he rescued everyone in one go. However, a large number of mutants were still running towards them from afar, so they couldn't linger. The captain loudly ordered the convoy to move on, and Zhao Qiang jumped into Yang Shiyun's car.
Yang Shiyun looked at Zhao Qiang, who asked in confusion, "What? Is there a problem?"
Yang Shiyun said resentfully, "There's no problem." Then she deliberately shook her chest, and Zhao Qiang then noticed that her figure was different. But it was too exaggerated. Zhao Qiang almost burst out laughing.
Yang Shiyun said, "What? Is it funny?"
Zhao Qiang said, "I'm very tired right now, please stop teasing me and go back to normal. This body doesn't just belong to you, it originally belonged to Yang Shiyun, you need to consider her feelings." It goes without saying that Xiao Wei is in control now.
Yang Shiyun shrank back, then turned her head away from Zhao Qiang. More mutants appeared ahead, running like bulls. Yang Shiyun raised her hand and fired, smashing them to pieces. She was taking the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction.
The convoy advanced rapidly. With no monsters blocking their way, Zhao Qiang, Yang Shiyun, and Lina led the way and made rapid progress. An hour later, they arrived at the school laboratory, which was surrounded by a considerable force. Hearing the gunfire, they went out 500 meters to meet them, and the two sides successfully rendezvoused.
The captain completed the handover with the guards protecting the laboratory and also reported Zhao Qiang's situation on the way to his superiors. Originally, this was a very important matter, but with New York City about to be destroyed, it was meaningless.
Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun walked around the laboratory. The entire laboratory had been covered by a new layer of prefabricated panels, and the dust inside had been cleaned up. Many staff members in white coats were going in and out.
Yang Shiyun said, "It would take them at least half a month to thoroughly study these devices."
Zhao Qiang glanced at his watch: "We don't have that much time. It would be best to get the treatment medication out within 48 hours."
Yang Shiyun asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? The Americans aren't in such a hurry at all. They even want to build a steel wall outside New York City to isolate New York from the outside world."
Zhao Qiang said, "Don't be too optimistic. Whether the Great Wall of Steel can stop the virus from leaking out is unknown. With such close trade and frequent personnel exchanges between countries, it is simply unrealistic for our country to cut off all ties with the United States. Even if customs can cut off ties openly, there is no way to stop smuggling in secret. I think the virus will appear outside the country in 48 hours at most. Let's wait and see."
Yang Shiyun pointed to the laboratory inside the building, "What should we do? We can't go in now."
Zhao Qiang said, "Let's find a way to sneak in. You, me, and Lina, the three of us working together will make progress faster."
Yang Shiyun said, "I should find other doctors in the hospital, activate the control chips in their brains, and let them assist us in completing the research."
Zhao Qiang said, "Who knows if they're still alive? So don't bother with them. You should try to get close to the lab first and see how the Americans react. If you can get in and observe the researchers, that would be even better."
Yang Shiyun nodded, smoothed her hair, and secretly raised her bra size by another cup. She walked into the laboratory building, looking sexy. Several American soldiers guarding the entrance stared at Yang Shiyun without saying a word. Just as Yang Shiyun was about to pass them, someone stopped her.
"Hey beautiful, you can't go in there."
Yang Shiyun winked at the American soldier and then gave him a seductive kiss. The American soldier shuddered, his face full of lewd smiles. "Beautiful lady, how about having some fun with us tonight? I guarantee you'll be satisfied. The earth is about to be destroyed, so don't be shy."
Yang Shiyun remained noncommittal, then reached out and touched the forehead of an American soldier. The soldier looked up, and Yang Shiyun's gaze held a strong allure. The American soldier's expression was blank, as if he had been hypnotized.
Yang Shiyun said softly, "I'm going in to find someone. You guys keep an eye on the door."
The American soldiers nodded blankly, while Yang Shiyun calmly walked in. Twenty minutes later, she emerged gracefully, blowing kisses to the soldiers as she left, leaving them completely mesmerized.
Zhao Qiang asked, "What's the situation inside? Judging from the guards, the level of vigilance doesn't seem very high."
Yang Shiyun said with a hint of pride, "That's because my charm index is high, so they lowered their guard. The research work inside hasn't even started. I also asked some staff members about their knowledge, and their foundation is too weak. If we rely on them to do the research, I don't think we'll get any results in a year or two. They're not as knowledgeable about this as Professor Martin's students."
Zhao Qiang said, "Since that's the case, we can't rely on them anymore. We need to take control of the laboratory."
Yang Shiyun said, "But we still need these American soldiers to guard this place, otherwise we could drive them all away."
Zhao Qiang said, "Let's go and discuss this matter with the captain."
Yang Shiyun hesitated for a moment: "Will he support you?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Let's sound him out first. Judging from the security of the laboratory, the Americans haven't completely relied on this place yet. There must be other laboratories conducting virus research at the same time."
Yang Shiyun said, "Okay, I'll go and seduce the captain."
Zhao Qiang waved his hand: "Forget it, let me do it."
Yang Shiyun giggled: "Jealous?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Although I don't know who is controlling this body right now, I don't care who you are. You can't mess with this body like this."
Yang Shiyun held Zhao Qiang's hand and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The captain was resting in his tent when he heard Zhao Qiang calling from outside. He immediately ran out, "Zhao Qiang, it's you! What's up?"
Zhao Qiang said, "I have something to tell you. What do you think of the laboratories in the experimental building?"
The captain was somewhat surprised: "The lab? I heard it's important for researching this viral infection, but many researchers have been infected, so there's not much progress going on there right now."
Zhao Qiang said, "Captain, we've been through life and death together. If I told you I could use the equipment inside to research treatment drugs, would you help me?"
The captain hesitated for a moment: "Can you understand virus research?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, but I'm worried that your government won't let me go in and touch those things."
Volume Two [701] Persuasion
[701] Persuasion
The captain still didn't quite understand Zhao Qiang's words and asked, "Mr. Zhao Qiang, what do you mean...?"
Zhao Qiang said, "I want to go into the laboratory."
The captain said, "But other troops are stationed there, so I have no say in anything, and now I have to be under their command."
Zhao Qiang said, "Captain, it is very important whether we can develop a drug to treat the virus. Do you want to watch your compatriots suffer and die one by one from infection? You should tell yourself that you cannot give up as long as there is even the slightest chance."
The captain nodded and said, "I understand, but what I said is also true. After arriving at the university, my men were handed over to the brother units, and I don't know the highest-ranking officer here. I'm afraid he won't agree to my request to enter the laboratory. Actually, I believe in your abilities, after all, you have saved us many times, but I'm afraid the people here won't believe you."
Zhao Qiang chuckled: "Captain, your thinking is a bit narrow. Since you can't speak for yourself, you can make yourself the master here."
The captain's expression changed: "You want me to seize power? And then let you into the lab."
Zhao Qiang said, "Captain, this is for the sake of the citizens of New York, for the safety of the whole United States, and for the stability of the world. What you are doing is absolutely right, and you have the ability to take on this responsibility. If this succeeds, you will become a hero of the whole United States and even the world. At that time, it will not be difficult for you to become a general."
After considering for a long time, the captain said, "Zhao Qiang, I have to admit that you Chinese are too good at playing power games. Your plan is very tempting, but I'm afraid that the headquarters will step in to stop it. At that time, I will not be able to resist at all. You also know that my small number of men is nothing. I can't handle a few F-22 fighter jets sent by the headquarters."
Zhao Qiang said, “You can report to the headquarters in advance and say that you have found someone who can research drugs to treat viral infections, but this person will not come forward. You will be the one to speak on their behalf. You can get things done first. The headquarters will be concerned that they are too far away to do anything about it. Moreover, you are doing something that is beneficial to New York City and the whole of the United States. They will just accept reality.”
The captain continued to consider, this time taking a full five minutes before saying, "Zhao Qiang, your plan will put me in a desperate situation."
Zhao Qiang said, "Captain, but you also need to consider the future. If we really develop a drug to treat the viral infection, your achievements will be remembered by all the people of America and the world. The military will have no choice but to commend you."
The captain said in a deep and slow voice, "Zhao Qiang, I know your abilities are extraordinary, but researching viruses is not something to be taken lightly. You must guarantee me that you are truly confident in your abilities, otherwise you will really get me killed."
Zhao Qiang said, "I am confident, and the matter will be resolved within 48 hours."
The captain was taken aback: "48 hours? Are you sure?"
Zhao Qiang nodded: "I've estimated it. It won't take more than 12 hours. Fortune favors the bold. Captain, you know my capabilities. Your chances of winning are still very high. And with only 48 hours to go, you can easily take control of the situation."
The captain gritted his teeth: "Fine, tell me first about your gun and how you control bullets to instantly kill mutants, then I'll believe you."
Zhao Qiang pulled out a compression gun and handed it to the captain: "A gas compression gun uses the explosive force generated when highly compressed gas is released to kill targets. As for instantly killing mutants, that's hard to explain. You can think of me as having a special ability, but this ability cannot be used casually; it's very physically demanding."
The captain carefully examined the small gun in his hand. He couldn't imagine that this gun could produce such great power. This thing was high-tech. However, the captain didn't dare to swallow Zhao Qiang's gun. He knew that with Zhao Qiang's ability, killing him would be a matter of minutes. The reason he asked Zhao Qiang these secrets was simply to satisfy his own curiosity.
The captain handed the gun back to Zhao Qiang: "I don't understand it, but at least I've seen it. Zhao Qiang, I believe you have special abilities. It's my luck to have met you. Otherwise, we would probably be trapped in the TV station building. I just learned from the radio that a large number of mutants attacked the TV station shortly after we left. If we had stayed there, we would have run out of ammunition and food by now. So I've decided to accept your plan. Whether I live a life of wealth or imprisonment for the rest of my life depends on you."
Zhao Qiang walked out of the captain's tent, where Yang Shiyun was waiting anxiously. "How is it? Did he agree to help us? If it really doesn't work, I'll implant a chip in him so he'll have to listen whether he wants to or not."
Zhao Qiang said, "No need. There isn't much electricity here. Where would you find the power to implant the chip?"
Yang Shiyun said, "So it's a success."
Zhao Qiang said, "We'll wait for him to go find the commander of the university's garrison, but before that, he needs to discuss it with his soldiers. He alone is not enough to take over the laboratory's security work."
The captain was still feeling uneasy, but he remembered Zhao Qiang's words, "Fortune favors the bold." He thought that this chaotic world was a good opportunity for him to rise to power. If he could seize the opportunity, he might be able to help Zhao Qiang develop a drug to treat the virus without bloodshed. At that time, he would be a great hero, and it would be difficult for the country not to reward him.
The captain called his guards, and soon the soldiers of the company came to his tent one after another. The captain looked at everyone and said, "Brothers, now there is an opportunity in front of us. As long as we dare to do it, we may be able to change our fate. However, this is on the premise that you can trust Zhao Qiang, who protected us to the school. Does any of you still have doubts about his abilities? Please step forward before I tell you what's going on."
The group looked at each other, not quite understanding what the captain meant. However, they all believed in Zhao Qiang's abilities. If Zhao Qiang hadn't instantly killed the mutants, they would probably all be among them by now. Moreover, they had clearly witnessed Zhao Qiang's fight with the mutated monsters. Zhao Qiang not only possessed powerful weapons but also the legendary Chinese skill of "lightness kung fu," allowing him to perform various complex maneuvers in the air. If Zhao Qiang's abilities weren't recognized by everyone, then there wouldn't be a single person alive here.
Seeing that no one was leaving, the captain said, "Since everyone believes in Zhao Qiang's abilities, I will continue. Zhao Qiang has the ability to research drugs to treat the virus..."
"What?" Everyone was taken aback. They believed that Zhao Qiang had strong combat power, after all, they had seen it with their own eyes. But to say that Zhao Qiang could conduct research on viruses was something that a weak scholar would do. How could a rough man like him do it?
The captain said, "You heard me right. Zhao Qiang can develop a drug to treat the virus within three days. We will be the first to benefit from it." The captain extended the time Zhao Qiang mentioned, fearing that something might go wrong. He also took it upon himself to give the treatment to his own soldiers first, because if they weren't given enough motivation, how could they be willing to work for him?
Someone asked, "If we had this medicine, would we be safe from being harmed by mutants?"
The captain said, "Definitely. With medicine, even if you're injured, you can be treated. Of course, the premise is that there's enough time. If you've already turned into a monster, even God can't save you." The captain was just saying this casually. In fact, he didn't know how the treatment worked. To this day, probably no one knows how the treatment for viral infections works.
Someone said, "New York is about to be destroyed anyway, and we have no way to escape. Captain, tell us what to do. We'll do whatever you say. We just want food and safety. We'll live one day at a time."
The captain said, "Okay, if everyone thinks like this, things will be simple. We'll take control of the lab, let Zhao Qiang go in and do his research, it's that simple."
There was complete silence. The captain said, "What? Are you scared? The troops stationed at the laboratory are only a little over a hundred men, while you are veterans who have been tested by war. You can easily handle three against one, not to mention that you may not even have to fight them."
