Chapter 668: Tragic Situation, Saving Parents

"Hopefully soon!"

Li Quan also understood that this medical research base was built in the depths of an uninhabited desert. It would take an unknown number of days to walk out.

The best way is to leave on a special plane.

Yang Di also noticed Li Quan's anxiety and quickly called her superiors for instructions.

After a moment, she came out.

"Team Leader Li, our superiors have agreed and will send a plane to pick you up soon." She actually knew that even if her superiors did not agree, Li Quan would still leave the base and rush back to his hometown.

"Okay, I'll take advantage of the waiting time to explain the work."

Li Quan's eyes flickered slightly.

He was a little upset after hearing the sad news that his parents were bitten by people infected with the zombie virus.

Now that he had calmed down a little, he remembered that he had forgotten to make some preparations.

The parents had already been bitten, and rushing over rashly would not save them.

Although the newly developed treatment plan is still in the clinical testing stage, it is urgent to take emergency measures.

Li Quan planned to secretly take some out and then give the medicine to his parents first.

…

About an hour later, a helicopter landed at the base.

"Team Leader Li, the plane to pick you up is here. I hope you can find your parents soon and return to the base as soon as possible to continue your research." Yang Di waved goodbye to Li Quan.

"good!"

Li Quan nodded, and in a flash he got into the helicopter.

With his current strength, ordinary people can't even see his movements clearly.

The pilot on the helicopter was wearing an oxygen mask and motioned Li Quan to put it on as well and fasten his seat belt.

This was not the first time that Li Quan had ridden in this type of small helicopter.

Fasten your seat belts.

"Let's go!"

The helicopter slowly took off and flew in one direction.

Looking down from the plane, it was indeed an endless desert.

However, this situation did not last long.

Soon, you'll be able to see patches of green below.

That was in recent years, the country's unremitting efforts in desert control have finally achieved some results. Some plants such as poplar and tamarisk were planted.

China is recognized in the world as a country with the best governance environment.

Especially in recent years, we have made great efforts in environmental protection, greening, desertification control, etc. The achievements are obvious to all.

"Hey, what is that?"

Li Quan was sitting on the plane, looking down from the sky, and could see a strange terrain in his field of vision.

I can’t explain it, but I feel that the terrain is a bit strange, very much like an ancient tomb.

If it is really a mausoleum, it would be incredible.

Because the plane is now at a relatively high altitude, looking down from this height, the strange terrain is not small.

Just like a small dot on a satellite map, it may very well be a city.

At least it is dozens of square kilometers.

The strange terrain below, which is suspected to be a mausoleum, may not cover dozens of square kilometers, but it is definitely several square kilometers.

"Comrade, may I ask what the current coordinates are?"

Li Quan asked the pilot.

"140 degrees east longitude, north latitude..." The pilot reported the current coordinates. He seemed to know why Li Quan suddenly asked about the coordinates of the plane.

After hesitating for about four or five seconds, he finally spoke.

"Dean Li, are you curious about the strange terrain below?"

"Um."

Li Quan nodded in a rather arrogant manner.

"The terrain below is a bit like a besieged city, but it has actually existed for many years. I heard that before this desert was governed, there were terrible dust storms every day. There used to be a stone hill here. Eventually, the wind and sand buried the stone hill, which formed the strange terrain."

Pilots may fly here frequently, so they know it better.

"So that's how it is. I thought there was an imperial tomb or the tomb of a general or a prince down there." Li Quan suddenly realized.

Just looking down from the plane, he felt that even if there were really a few stone hills buried below, they did not look natural.

It secretly conforms to the trends of the three elements of heaven, earth, and has the aspect of Liuhe.

If you look at it from the perspective of a Feng Shui master, this should be a place with excellent Feng Shui, with both the origin and the destination, and even a treasure trove.

It just so happened that there was a picture in a medical book by Zhang Zhongjing that Li Quan had read before.

Very similar to the special terrain below.

"Is this a coincidence, or is the tomb of Zhang Zhongjing below?" This was the only thought that flashed through Li Quan's mind.

Soon I started thinking again about how to save my parents.

Even if there really was an ancient curtain underneath , he would not be able to dig it up.

This is against the law.

The helicopter flew for about half an hour and finally landed in a large yard.

This is no longer a deserted place, it looks like a small town.

"President Li, we have prepared a special car that can take you to the nearest city. If you are in a hurry, we can take you to the airport now."

The pilot was very polite to Li Quan.

There are strict regulations on the flight routes of helicopters.

Every flight needs to apply for a route from the air traffic control department. The main reason is that there are already many aircraft in China, and if the routes are not strictly regulated, it is easy to cause a collision.

The consequences would be serious.

"Okay, just take me to the airport!"

Li Quan got off the helicopter. When the special car driver saw him coming, he immediately opened the door enthusiastically and welcomed Li Quan into the car.

After listening to Li Quan's instructions, the driver drove the car at high speed to the nearest airport without saying anything else.

…

There is now panic in Li Quan’s hometown county.

The county people’s hospital even set up a temporary testing point to conduct strict checks on every person entering and leaving.

There isn’t really any major danger in the county town, it’s mainly in the countryside.

The most serious one is definitely Dawang Township.

Because it became a zombie virus infection point a long time ago.

After someone was infected, they concealed the truth, hid themselves, or even some ignorant family members deliberately covered up the truth, which eventually led to the virus running rampant in the countryside.

At the airport in Tiaoma County, Li Quan, who had just got off the plane, hailed a taxi.

"Master, please take me to Dawan Village."

Li Quan directly reported the destination.

"No, no . Brother, you look young and clean, so you must have just returned from another place, right? Let me tell you, except for the county town, which is relatively safe, many towns in the countryside have already fallen.

Anyone who has a house in the county town or can live with other relatives is now rushing to move into the city or live with relatives.

We taxi drivers dare not drive in the city. Because once we drive out of the city, no one knows whether we will be attacked by zombie virus infected people. In addition, many villages such as Leiwang Village and Dawan Village are now severely affected areas. The government has sent soldiers to guard them. "

The taxi driver shook his head repeatedly and refused to take the passenger, probably because he was worried about being complained by Li Quan.

So I explained a few words.

"I'll pay more, do you want to go? Actually, you just need to drop me off there and drive directly back. Don't pick up anyone else in the process. You won't be in any danger."

Li Quan did not drive back by himself, but called a taxi to his hometown, which was the fastest way.

He didn't believe that the driver wasn't tempted.

"This is really not a matter of money, but of not being able to go..."

The driver resisted verbally, but his eyes betrayed his feelings.

Driving a taxi doesn't make a lot of money nowadays, because the express and ride-sharing businesses are so prosperous.

Many people are willing to take express trains or hitchhiking services which are cheaper and offer better service.

Most of the taxi business has been taken away.

However, costs in all areas have not been reduced.

So, it is difficult to make money driving a taxi now.

"I'll give you one thousand yuan, just take me to the entrance of Dayuan Village. You don't have to get off the car, just drive back to the county town directly." Li Quan said to the driver.

"Oh well!"

When the driver heard that Li Quan was willing to give one thousand yuan, he didn't even last a second and agreed readily on the spot.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

This business was equivalent to several days' profit, and the taxi driver had no choice but to accept it.

…

The taxi sped along the highway.

Soon we arrived at the checkpoint out of the city, which was guarded by soldiers with real guns and ammunition, as well as medical staff on duty for testing.

If you want to leave the city, there is no need to stop you.

He was let go after just two friendly reminders.

After leaving the city, there were almost no pedestrians along the way.

But a few speeding cars can be seen.

Basically they are people who move to the city from the countryside.

Now that we know that many people in the countryside have been infected, it must have caused panic, and these people are rushing to the city.

While driving, I saw a van overturned on the side of the road.

Li Quan took a look and felt that the van looked familiar.

"It looks a bit like my classmate Zhang Daniu's car!"

Li Quan's heart skipped a beat. Zhang Daniu was his classmate and they had always had a good relationship.

If something really happened, Li Quan would definitely feel a little sad.

"Master, please stop for a moment. I want to see if the car that's overturned on the side of the road needs help."

"Okay! But you must be careful. If anything goes wrong, get back into the car immediately. I won't turn off the engine and you don't have to close the door." The taxi driver was kind enough.

Without much hesitation, he agreed to let Li Quan get out of the car to save people.

After getting off the car, Li Quan walked over quickly.

There was a person in the van, his flesh and blood were all over the place. Half of his face was gone, his neck was bitten off, and his body was stuck in the main driving compartment, unable to move.

The whole person's skin is gray.

Based on Li Quan's diagnostic experience, this man has been dead for a long time.

Even though most of the man's face had been bitten off, Li Quan could still recognize at a glance that the unfortunate driver who died was indeed Zhang Daniu.

"Daniu..."

Li Quan suppressed his grief and looked inside the car.

"ah……"

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but once you do, you’ll be shocked.

There was a fat woman sitting in the car, her eyes were red, her skin was ulcerated, and there was blood at the corners of her mouth.

Isn’t this woman Zhang Daniu’s wife?

Just as Li Quan was about to call his sister-in-law, the fat woman also noticed him and banged on the car door frantically, trying to get out and attack Li Quan.

“What a pity!”

Li Quan was sure that the woman in the car was infected with the zombie virus.

And judging from the sores on her body, the infection must have been going on for a long time.

"Daniu, Daniel, I never thought you would end up dying at the hands of your own wife."

Li Quan could roughly guess what happened.

Zhang Daniu probably drove his wife away to escape without knowing that she had been infected with the zombie virus.

Then, during the escape, Zhang Daniu's wife was attacked by the zombie virus and her brain lost its normal cognitive ability. In a hungry state, she reached out to Zhang Daniu who was driving in front.

As you can imagine, Zhang Daniu was suddenly attacked by his wife, and then he slammed the steering wheel, and eventually he accidentally flipped over on the side of the road.

After the car accident, Zhang Daniu's wife did not stop attacking Zhang Daniu.

Because he was hungry, he even ate most of Zhang Daniu's face.

"You'll be trouble if I let you out. For now, just keep you in the car. I'll see how to deal with you after I save my parents."

Li Quan quickly fled back into the taxi.

"How's the situation?" asked the driver.

"Don't mention it. The driver is dead. There was also a fat woman in the car, but she has been infected by the zombie virus."

Li Quan shook his head and sighed.

"Then hurry up and go."

The driver stepped on the accelerator and fled immediately.

…

After driving for more than twenty minutes, the car finally arrived at Dayuan Village.

As soon as you arrive at the entrance of the village, you can see that the small store where villagers usually gather is closed.

There is no one to ask for information.

Usually, the canteen is very busy.

“The virus is horrible.”

When Li Quan saw this hellish scene, he felt as if he had returned to the backward ancient times.

At that time, there was an epidemic and entire villages were wiped out.

I didn’t expect that even though medical technology is so advanced and human’s defense and treatment methods are at a very high level, there are still viruses that we cannot defeat.

"Master, you go back. I'll get off here." Li Quan said to the taxi driver after getting off the car.

"You don't look like a bad guy. Your village is almost empty, and there must be many zombie virus infected people. I won't leave yet. I'll turn around and wait for you here. If you are in danger, come back to me. When the time comes, I'll take you back to the county town, and I won't charge you any money."

The taxi driver was a man in his fifties, but he was not greedy at all.

Moreover, when faced with danger, he would still think about Li Quan.

"Thank you, Master!"

After getting off the car, Li Quan couldn't wait to walk into the village.

What he wanted to see most now was his parents.

Along the way, he encountered several new zombie virus infected people.

These people are all villagers in the village.

They wanted to attack Li Quan, but were easily knocked down by Li Quan.

However, after these people were infected with the zombie virus, their strength doubled. Ordinary people are definitely no match for them.

"Dad, Mom! I am an unfilial son. I have come back to see you."

Li Quan discovered that the door of his villa was open.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my parents.
