The dark age of mankind is coming

The larger group was led by an old man with gray hair, followed by middle-aged men and young men with heavy backs.

The other group is a silver-haired old man and a middle-aged woman.

The three people, headed by the gray-haired old man, were all sitting listlessly on the edge of the wall, but they were all looking ahead with resentful eyes.

In the eyes of the gray-haired old man, in addition to the same resentment as the other two, there was also a deep hatred.

Following their line of sight, they saw a table filled with bottles and instruments containing liquids of different colors. It was obviously a table used for experiments.

Wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, a silver-haired old man and a middle-aged woman stood behind the experimental table. The old man poured bottles and jars, and the middle-aged woman was responsible for recording various experimental data for the old man.

The silver-haired old man was holding a tube filled with half a tube of black reagent. The moment he bent down and straightened up, his vision suddenly went dark, and he seemed to have lost his balance.

After shaking his body for a moment, he immediately fell towards the table in front of him filled with bottles and jars containing various potions.

Fortunately, the middle-aged woman standing next to the silver-haired old man reacted in time and exclaimed: "Hua Lao!" At the same time, she held one of the silver-haired old man's arms to avoid close contact with the experimental medicine.

The silver-haired old man, also known as Hua Lao, stabilized his body with the help of the middle-aged woman's hand.

He carefully placed the test tube in his hand on the table from memory.

Then he supported the table with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and calmed down quietly for a while.

Seeing the old man's face turning pale, the middle-aged woman asked worriedly: "Hua Lao, are you okay?"

After Hua Lao could see the picture again, he stood up straight and said, "It's okay. I might have stood up a little too hard just now." He signaled to the middle-aged woman that she didn't need to support herself and could stand by herself.

Seeing that Hua Lao's face was no longer so pale, and had a slight color, and that he had indeed recovered, the middle-aged woman let go of her hand.

However, seeing that his face was haggard, he still said uneasily: "Hua Lao, how about I help you sit down and rest for a while. You have been sleepless all day and night. If you continue like this, your body will collapse. ."

Hua Lao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I know my body well." He said that he would continue the experiment he just did.

The middle-aged woman said: "Then you should take a break first and drink some water before continuing."

Seeing that Hua Lao had no intention of resting at all, the middle-aged woman supported the old man forcefully, walked to the wall next to the table, and sat down on a white coat spread on the wall.

"Okay." Seeing the middle-aged woman's toughness, he knew that she was worried about him, so he no longer refused and just went with her will.

After helping Hua Lao sit down, the middle-aged woman found some food and drink and handed it to Hua Lao and said: "Hua Lao, drink some water and eat a piece of bread to replenish your strength.".

Hua Lao took the things and said to the middle-aged woman taking care of him: "Hong Ling, stop working so hard. Sit down and take a rest.".

Under the opposite wall, the gray-haired old man who was sitting on his back saw Hua Lao sitting down to rest and eating and drinking. He suddenly said angrily: "What do you care about people like Assistant Hongling? He still has You have the face to rest, and you have the face to eat and drink there." As he said this, he stood up and strode to the two of them.

He snatched the bread and water from Hua Lao's hand and smashed it on the ground, "I told you to eat and drink." This was not enough to relieve his anger. He looked at the bread on the ground and said fiercely He stepped on it with his feet and twisted it.

The middle-aged woman looked at the gray-haired old man's behavior and said, "Old Bai, what are you doing!".

Regarding Bai Lao's actions, Hua Lao, one of the parties involved, did not say a word and just suffered in silence.

Not only did Bai Lao not apologize for the unreasonable behavior he had just committed, but he asked as if Hua Lao had done something hugely wrong: "What did I do! If it weren't for him, would we be like this? My... The only child, Hua Cheng, can he be gone? Can he!"

Facing Mr. Bai's question, the middle-aged woman also remained silent for a moment.

Although Hua Lao, Bai Lao and others are in this secret research institute near the port of Rongcheng, although it is not as large as the research institute in Kyoto in terms of scale and number of personnel, the people who can enter the secret research institute near the port of Rongcheng are all top students. , the minimum academic qualification is a doctoral degree.

Before the end of the world, the topic that had been ongoing in the institute was biological research.

The main research direction is not biological evolution and biomolecules, but the study of the interaction between organisms and the environment and the structure, function and stability of ecosystems, mainly including ecology, environmental science and ecological pathology.

Hua Lao is the head of the institute and the director of the institute.

Bai Lao is the second-in-command of the institute, also known as the vice president.

The middle-aged woman Hong Ling is Hua Lao's assistant, and the middle-aged man with a big back is Hu Tongwei, Bai Lao's assistant.

The young man's name is Wei Zixing. Like Bai Lao's son Huacheng, he just graduated from the school as a doctoral student this year and went to work in the research institute to help the middle-aged man.

However, Wei Zixing was normally assigned to this institute after graduating from school.

The only son Bai Huacheng mentioned in Bai Lao's mouth was specially called here from Kyoto by Bai Lao to come here for gilding.

Although Mr. Bai is only the second-in-command of the institute, he is clearly aware of the research topics and progress of the entire institute, even if he is not personally involved.

Just because the director of the institute, Mr. Hua, is a pure scientific researcher.

Although he holds the position of director of the institute, in fact, almost everything in the entire institute is made by Mr. Bai.

Hua Lao doesn't understand the ways of the world or the way of being an official at all. He only focuses on the research matters at hand every day.

Except for things that must be done by him, all the affairs of the institute are left to Mr. Bai to take care of.

The reason why Hua Lao, a pure and simple researcher like him, was able to overpower the spirit-like Bai Lao and become the dean of this institute is because of his age and qualifications, and because of his scientific research results. It really stands up.

At the beginning of this year, after completing the previous research topic, Hua Lao submitted another scientific research project, and the research value of the project was very high.

After Bai Lao learned about this, he specially called his son Bai Huacheng, who had just graduated, to Chengdu and put him into Hua Lao's research group.

I plan to let my son add his name to Hua Lao's scientific research project. After Hua Lao's research project is completed, his son will also be gilded with research results, and then return to Kyoto and join a research institute in Kyoto with twice the result with half the effort.

However, who would have imagined that a terrible zombie virus would appear on the beautiful Blue Star.

However, even with the emergence of the zombie virus, several people in the institute were infected and unfortunately became zombies.

But Bai Lao and his son Bai Huacheng are not one of those people.

Both father and son were lucky enough to survive the zombie virus outbreak.

Not only that, Bai Lao's son Bai Huacheng also unexpectedly acquired earth-type powers.

The end of the world has come, and the order is about to collapse. Seeing that his son has become one of the lucky few, Bai Lao, who was originally full of sorrow and didn't know what the future holds, immediately beams with joy.

With their son's superpower by their side, even if they are in an unstable apocalypse and cannot conduct scientific research in the future, the Bai family will still have a foothold.

However, who could have expected that in just two days, his son would be completely separated from him.

Of course, the culprit is none other than the dean of their institute, Hua Lao.
