Chapter 184 Interrogating Eugene

Just when Lori and the other five discovered the sign, Sean was also looking for Rick with a group of people.

They came out more than half a day ahead of schedule, but their direction diverged from Luo Li's group. Although the general direction was similar, they were not in the same area.

Because of the tide of corpses, they had to take a long detour before arriving at a farm.

"Zi...Rick, can you receive it?"

"Swiss, swiss, swish..."

"Damn it! Where did you go?"

"Are we still looking for it?"

After pondering for a moment, although he felt unwilling to do so, he knew that there was no point in continuing to search. They could only rely on themselves from now on.

"Let's go back first."

…

Rick and his group slowly walked into a small town. It was already approaching evening, and many people were tired and hungry.

"Find a house to settle down first, it will get dark soon."

Although the condition was not very good, everyone cheered up and started cleaning up the walking corpses around them.

A whistle sounded not far away, and Abraham discovered an open dwelling.

Rick looked around and waved his hand to him, indicating that he should walk further into the town. They stopped while walking, and many locked houses were broken into.

While collecting supplies and looking for a suitable place to stay, about an hour later, it was getting dark, and more and more zombies were wandering the streets.

They finally found a suitable residence in the center of the town.

"Quick, come in quickly."

Rick stood at the door and looked at the surrounding streets with vigilance. A dozen walking corpses had walked out of the intersection not far away. If they stayed outside, there would be no way to kill all of these damn monsters.

After everyone entered the house and locked the door, he relaxed a little. The next step was to inspect the entire house.

After careful inspection, his other half felt relieved.

Abraham looked at a few people strangely and asked in an exaggerated tone.

"Is this necessary?"

Rick glanced at him and said nothing, but Aji on the side recounted their experience last night, and the room was silent for a while.

After a while, Abraham said quietly.

"I'm the luckiest man in the world!"

A few people who were taking out food from their backpacks suddenly looked at him, and Tara asked strangely.

"Why do you say that?"

The red-haired man's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, seeming a little sad and a little hopeful, as if he was remembering something. After a while, he smiled and said something ambiguous.

"Haha, I just think I'm lucky. At least I didn't meet those guys who wanted my life. That's enough, isn't it?"

Rick, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said.

"Maybe, but as long as you are alive, you will eventually encounter it."

Abraham smiled indifferently and pointed to Eugene beside him.

"As long as he is sent to Washington, what if he dies? An unknown guy like me will be remembered by people even if he dies."

Hearing the other party mention Washington again, Rick curled his lips in disbelief. He really didn't believe this guy named Eugene.

On the other hand, Tara on the side continued to ask with curiosity.

"You said things about the virus are confidential, so you should be able to tell us where to go in Washington, right? Didn't Rick say this afternoon that his friend is in Washington now and can contact him and ask him to help check it out? Can’t you do it for a while?”

As soon as Tara's question came out, Eugene's expression became a little unnatural, and these small details did not escape Rick's eyes.

He is now more and more certain that there is something wrong with this guy. He has not mentioned the vaccine to these people yet because of this person named Eugene.

In fact, Tara's question was not asked casually, but was explained by him. The purpose was to catch him by surprise, and he could take the opportunity to observe the other party's reaction.

After a moment of silence, Eugene realized that he had to have a reasonable explanation, otherwise these people might become suspicious of him.

"Let's not talk about whether your friend can find where I am going. Even if he finds it, an ordinary person cannot enter it at all. In other words, the only way is to transport me safely to Washington."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rick, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Then what is your so-called solution? Vaccine? Biological weapons? There must be a general direction, right? How can we believe your words if you don't disclose anything?"

Eugene still had that dull and stupid expression, but he was quickly weaving a set of arguments in his mind.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, his eyes became sharp and he exhaled softly.

"I am a member of a ten-person team of the Human Genome Project. We are responsible for converting known diseases into weapons to fight against certain biological weapons that already exist. Deadly microbes fight deadly microorganisms, which is often said to fight fire with fire. For a period of time, I'm deeply involved in various departments within the organization, so I'm very familiar with how this works, and I believe that with a few tweaks in the labs in Washington, we can turn the tables and kill all the walking dead on the planet. ”

"If all goes well, it sounds pretty cool."

Abraham smiled and kept nodding aside. In his opinion, this matter was very reliable, and he firmly believed that this plan would succeed.

But the trio in the prison didn't think so. Rick stared at the guy with weird hair, constantly weighing the credibility of these words in his mind, and continued to ask after a while.

"What you call some adjustments is the most important part of this matter, right? That means you must have other means to kill this virus, right?"

Eugene's expression returned to that dull look again, and Abraham on the side interrupted Rick's questioning.

"Don't bother him. Even if he tells you how to do it, will you do it?"

Rick, who was originally serious, laughed now. The laboratories in the base have been conducting research for so long. Until now, they are constantly going out to find resources to supply their experiments, but the research progress is still slow.

It seems that after the development of the second-level vaccine, it has entered a bottleneck period. Lu Jiayi once said that the development of this vaccine will be a long process. It is an unexpected blessing to be able to quickly produce the second-level vaccine. At this moment, a person suddenly jumped out, It made him feel a little funny to say that he could quickly solve the problem of the walking dead.

"Haha, I'm sorry, this reason is really far-fetched. If we say that our base has developed a vaccine, what would you say?"

At this moment, except for Aggie and Morgan, everyone else looked at Rick who said something shocking in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"vaccine!"

Rick ignored the reactions of others. He watched Eugene's expression become extremely cold, as if he was a different person.

"You are simply lying. Washington is not the end of the world. You just want..."

Before he finished speaking, Abraham, who had been bowing his head silently, suddenly jumped up from his chair, and greeted Rick with his huge fist in the face.

"Shut up!"
