Chapter 21 Watching TV

Suwan and Angela didn't see Zoe again for a few days. It was obvious that the dark secret of the mutation spread and the researchers must be very busy to prevent this disaster. Angela didn't know that Suwan and Zoe had quarreled, and was happy that Zoe took the initiative to stay away from her. After all, it is always a good thing for a person who is not worried to stay away from his friends.

Suwan's potential in all aspects is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and her injuries heal faster. As soon as she recovered from her injuries, she caught up with the progress of the trainees and trained together. After the death of the person in charge, the new base has been basically controlled by the instructors and trainees from Belster. Although the remaining persons in charge are dissatisfied, they know very well that the soldiers in the base are no match for the trainees. Once the conflict intensifies, they will be the next to be "turned" into zombies. Therefore, they dare not speak out, although it is cowardly, at least they still have the title of person in charge.

The new base has almost become another Belster. The trainees train and study as usual. Everything is not much different from in Belster. However, doing the same thing does not mean that nothing has changed. The trainees in the closed new base know nothing about the outside world and have no idea what the situation is like outside. If this kind of zombie appears among ordinary people who are unprepared, the situation will not be optimistic.

Angela has a way to understand the situation in the outside world.

As a scientific researcher, Zoe has a TV in her room.

Unfortunately, Angela knew that Zoe was not caring about Suwan, not herself, and that if she wanted to go to the TV show, she might need Suwan to come forward. Thinking of putting her friend in a difficult position, Angela gave up the idea. The key point was that Angela felt that Suwan would definitely not want to be wronged, and she might get beaten if she said this idea.

Angela had thought of it, so there was no way Suwan hadn't thought of it. If it was before the quarrel with Zoe, Suwan could still shamelessly go and watch TV. Now that the two of them had a big quarrel, their unfamiliar relationship became even more awkward. It would be best not to meet.

This is what Suwan thought, but things don't always go as planned.

The research on Blue Ocean has always been conducted in a closed environment using living subjects. After the experiment, the test subjects turned into a pool of meat paste and would no longer be dominated by the mutated Blue Ocean. No one has ever thought of using dead objects for experiments, so the mutation of the Black Curtain was unexpected by the researchers. They have been in the laboratory for several days and nights to find a way to suppress the development of the Black Curtain. Everyone is haggard, with heavy dark circles and lifeless eyes, just like living zombies. They walked into the base restaurant listlessly. There were so many students in the restaurant, but Zoe saw Suwan at a glance. Suwan was eating with several students in a corner of the restaurant. In fact, that position was not easy to be discovered, and the students were all wearing the same combat uniforms, but Zoe saw Suwan at a glance.

This is really a bit amazing.

Zoe was too tired and her brain became dull. She stared at Suwan with dull eyes for several times before she remembered that she hadn't seen Suwan for several days. She was so busy these days that she was in a mess. Of course, Suwan was also forgotten by her. Zoe immediately walked towards Suwan, took two steps and touched her haggard face blankly, then went to the sink to wash her face thoroughly. She went to find Suwan after she felt more energetic. Angela looked up and saw Zoe coming over. She kicked Suwan under the table. Suwan, who was sitting opposite her drinking soup, immediately clenched the spoon in his hand in dissatisfaction, and looked like he was going to stab Angela with the spoon.

"Zoe," Angela said through gritted teeth.

Suwan didn't know that Zoe was looking for her, and thought that Angela just saw Zoe in the restaurant. She didn't plan to look back in case of attracting Zoe's attention. She just licked the spoon for soup clean and raised it to look behind her in the reflection of the spoon. It turned out that it didn't matter if she didn't look. As soon as Suwan raised the spoon, she saw a figure swaying in the reflection of the spoon coming behind her.

"Suwan," Zoe patted Suwan's shoulder. This was so sudden that Suwan was so startled that he almost dropped the spoon in his hand. Then Suwan kicked Angela under the table reflexively. Angela was confused, but Suwan felt justified.

"Who told you not to tell me?" Suwan didn't feel that he was wrong at all.

'Didn't I tell you so,' Angela winked, making eye contact with Suwan.

"You didn't tell me she saw me!" Suwan made a biting gesture, and Angela seemed to hear a lion's roar, so she lowered her head and ate in silence. After all, no one could be more shameless than Suwan.

Zoe came to Suwan very rudely and sat down in the empty seat next to her. Suwan was embarrassed and ate seriously without looking around, but Zoe came to find her and Suwan couldn't avoid her.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. How is your injury?" Zoe tilted her head and asked Suwan.

"It's okay," Suwan said, concentrating on using a spoon to stir the soup in front of him.

Angela secretly looked up at Zoe, then at the awkward Suwan, and always felt that there was something strange about these two people.

Noticing Angela's gaze, Zoe approached Suwan and asked her in a low voice, "Have you been training these days?"

Zoe's move was unnecessary. Angela was right across from her. Unless Zoe whispered in Suwan's ear, Angela would still hear everything clearly. Seeing Zoe avoiding her, Angela was upset and threw her chopsticks into the plate and was about to leave.

Under the table, Suwan quickly hooked Angela's legs with his feet to stop her from leaving. If Angela left, she would have to face Zoe alone, how embarrassing! !

Angela sat down again and stared at Zoe as she forked the radish cubes from her plate.

Zoe turned a blind eye and saw that Suwan didn't answer her, so she asked Suwan again: "Huh?"

Zoe was too close, and her hot breath sprayed on Suwan's neck, making Suwan feel uncomfortable all over. Suwan was the kind of person who didn't like close contact with others, so he had to move to the side to avoid Zoe: "What?"

"You attended training?"

"Yes."

"Are you all healed?"

"almost."

"What do you mean by almost? If you continue training before you are fully recovered, it will leave sequelae that will affect you for the rest of your life."

Suwan was a little impatient with Zoe's eager questioning. She answered so perfunctorily because she didn't want to chat with Zoe. She didn't expect Zoe to be so tactless and ask a different question. Suwan was a little annoyed: "Don't I know whether I'm fine or not?"

Zoe realized that Suwan was in a bad mood, so she stopped asking, but she didn't leave either. She was very tired, so she lay down on the table. Angela opposite her had an idea and wanted Suwan to take the opportunity to mention the matter of watching TV.

Anyway, Zoe came here by herself, so Suwan shouldn't be begging her for help if he brings this up to her, and it shouldn't be embarrassing, right? Angela thought about it and felt it was feasible, so she winked at Suwan when Zoe wasn't paying attention.

This look came out of nowhere and Suwan didn't understand it. Angela then mouthed the word "TV" and Suwan understood.

The students were worried about the situation outside, including Suwan and Angela. They wanted to know how the situation outside had developed. Suwan thought about it and turned to talk to Zoe about whether he could go to her room to watch TV. Only then did he realize that Zoe had fallen asleep on the table. No wonder she was so quiet and didn't ask any more questions.

Suwan shrugged at Angela, expressing helplessness.

Angela couldn't wait for Zoe to get a good sleep, so she put her thumb and index finger to her mouth and blew a sharp whistle. Not only was Zoe awakened, but the students around her also looked at her strangely. Angela looked innocent.

Too bad, Suwan thought, but well done.

Zoe was so exhausted that she didn't even realize she had just fallen asleep. She just thought she was dazed for a while. Zoe raised her head, patted her face blankly to wake herself up, and asked Suwan: "What did you say just now?"

Suwan didn't say anything, but since Zoe asked, Suwan continued, "I'm talking about the TV."

"What TV?" Zoe didn't respond.

"We want to go to your room to watch TV, is that okay?" Afraid that other students would hear, this time Suwan approached Zoe and looked directly into her eyes and said this.

Zoe was a little absent-minded, looking at Suwan's eyes a little at a loss. She didn't know what she answered, but she probably agreed, because Suwan smiled happily and high-fived Angela.

"When are you going?"

"What?" Zoe asked belatedly.

"Watch TV."

Zoe finally reacted and nodded quickly, saying, "Now, I just need to go back."

Suwan and Angela had no objection, of course. When the three of them returned to the scientific research building, Zoe remembered the purpose of going to the cafeteria. It would be a bit redundant to go back at this time, so she simply went back to the room and cooked herself a pot of oatmeal to fill her stomach. Suwan and Angela didn't feel like they were disturbing her at all, and they couldn't wait to turn on the TV to watch.

Various entertainment programs were still being broadcast on TV. It seemed that the Blue Ocean mutation had not caused too much trouble to the outside world. Suwan was not interested in entertainment programs. He watched every TV station broadcast them. When he saw a channel broadcasting the news, he hurriedly watched it carefully with Angela. The content of the news was that people were protesting in front of the government building. When the screen swept over the protesting people, Suwan and Angela were both shocked!

It turned out that there were several zombies mixed in with the crowd in the video being broadcast! Oh my god, there was blood around the mouths of those zombies, but the people around them didn't notice it at all! This is too dangerous! Suwan and Angela stared at the TV screen with wide eyes, their whole bodies tense. After a few more glances, they realized that those were not zombies, but protesters wearing fake masks. However, the masks were too realistic. It seemed that the situation was not very optimistic, but the media's tone was controlled by the government.

"You scared me," Angela said to herself, and Suwan was also scared.

The news was broadcast for less than a minute, and then there was some irrelevant news. Suwan changed the channel and saw a live broadcast of a press conference by government officials.

The government official was dressed in a suit and tie, looking down at his speech. He was giving a speech on the recent zombie incidents, but in their words these were not zombies, but just a trick of terrorists. The content of the speech was nothing more than protecting the people's safety so that they don't have to panic too much. However, he hadn't spoken for long when he was suddenly hit by garbage thrown by the people in the audience. Some people rushed to the podium and cursed the government. Even the bodyguards around them couldn't stop them. Then more and more people rushed to the podium. They beat and cursed the officials. The scene became more and more chaotic, and the live broadcast had to be cut off.

As Suwan pressed the remote control in his hand with increasing impatience, he saw fewer and fewer channels playing entertainment programs, and more and more channels broadcasting the current state of the world.
