"It's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce myself, my name is Yang Tao."
After putting away his M500, Yang Tao extended his hand towards Will Smith, who was still dazed.
"Also, I'm the one who rescued you from this trap."
The other party looked at Yang Tao with a somewhat bewildered expression, unable to accept it for a moment, but he still reached out and used Yang Tao's strength to stand up from the ground.
He reached up and touched the injured spot on the back of his head.
It was wet and sticky, but there was no pain as he had imagined. Will brought his hand to his eyes, and a large amount of fresh blood had already stained his palm.
Yang Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already treated your injury."
"Who are you?"
Will looked at Yang Tao warily. Although Yang Tao might have saved him, he didn't know if Yang Tao was the one who lured him there.
He almost triggered a passive.
"I already told you just now."
Will stared at Yang Tao, who was holding a piece of roasted meat and teasing Sasha, and asked, "Did you bring Fred here?"
After speaking, Will shook his head, as if that would make him more clear-headed.
"Fred, that mannequin… he's my friend."
Yang Tao looked up at the mannequin riddled with bullet holes not far away and said with a smile, "It's really dangerous to be your friend."
"Fred… hmm, good name. But he wasn't brought by me, it was the Darkseekers. They were the ones who lured you here…"
Will showed an expression that screamed, "You're messing with me!" It must be said that a black man making that expression was truly vivid.
"They're just a bunch of monsters who only know how to suck blood. How could they do something like this, and even set up such a complex trap…"
Yang Tao interrupted Will, pointed at the puddle and the rope on the ground, and said, "The trap is very simple. If you observe carefully, you'll definitely find it. It's just that your mind was in disarray. The bullet holes on Fred prove this."
"Furthermore, the Darkseekers are no longer the monsters you speak of. They have begun to evolve. They now possess their own primitive communication abilities and considerable learning abilities."
"In other words, they have now completely transformed into an intelligent species different from humans."
Will had actually noticed this, but he was solely focused on developing a cure to turn the Darkseekers back into humans.
Beep beep… beep beep…
Will's wrist watch rang, and he immediately looked up nervously at the sun, which had already hidden behind the building.
"Hey, I don't care if it was the Darkseekers or you who did it, but we have to go now."
With that, Will ran towards the car.
"Sasha, get in the car, we need to go!"
Sasha, who had been staring at the steak in Yang Tao's hand, immediately abandoned the nearby steak and ran towards the car when she heard Will's words.
"Your dog is really good."
Will looked at Yang Tao, patted the car, and said, "Brother, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."
As he said this, a look of pleading appeared in Will's eyes. Yang Tao nodded slightly, walked over, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat.
The front passenger seat was Sasha's spot.
He could clearly feel that after he got in the car, Will's mood became somewhat happy.
He understood this feeling.
He had also stayed in the Overworld for a week at the very beginning, and that feeling of loneliness was truly agonizing.
"Brother, my name is Robert Neville, I'm a virologist."
"Robert Neville? A virologist… Are you interested in finding yourself a part-time job?"
After Yang Tao learned that this was the world of "I Am Legend," this idea popped into his head. After all, he had such a good biochemical research base like the Hive in the world of "Resident Evil."
Originally, he wanted to invite Haibara Ai, but two summers had passed in Conan, and Haibara Ai still hadn't shown up.
Will, who was driving, heard Yang Tao's words and didn't quite understand their meaning. He said jokingly, "Part-time job? Are you going to pay me?"
Money? In this world where order has collapsed, money is so useless you wouldn't even use it to wipe your butt because it feels bad.
"Let's not talk about money, let's talk about sentiment…"
...
Back at Will Smith's house.
Will sprinkled disinfectant at the door and sealed all the doors and windows to prevent the Darkseekers from finding him at night, unaware that his residence had already been exposed.
After finishing all this, he sat on the sofa and looked at Yang Tao, saying, "You mean you're going to provide me with a large biological laboratory so I can research various strange viruses? And develop their antidotes?"
"That's right. I plan to establish a Black Watch unit specifically to deal with various biosecurity issues."
"Forget it, brother. There are only two of us left in the world now. I'd rather develop a cure to restore the Darkseekers to humans…"
Yang Tao looked at Will and said, "I remember a place called Bethel Town, there's a survivor camp there…"
Will was unwilling to believe this and shook his head, saying, "There's no survivor camp…"
"Perhaps…"
If Will was unwilling to believe it, Yang Tao had no choice. He wasn't the female protagonist, after all.
Just then, a series of roars came from outside, interrupting their conversation. Will immediately showed a panicked expression, ran to the side, and turned off the lights in the room.
He fearfully hugged Sasha and his beloved M4, curling up on the sofa. Yang Tao looked at Will's appearance and said, "They already know your address…"
"The reason they haven't come in is because they want you to release that female Darkseeker."
Will heard Yang Tao's voice and immediately said nervously, "Shhh, don't talk. The Darkseekers' hearing is very strong…"
Having researched and faced these Darkseekers every day, Will naturally knew their special abilities.
Bang…
A banging sound came from the door. Will immediately stood up from the sofa with his M4. Although there was panic in his eyes, his movements were very swift and decisive.
His gaze was fixed on the door.
The banging sound lasted for about two minutes before disappearing.
Will thought the Darkseekers had left and breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Tao knew very clearly through his mini-map that these Darkseekers were quietly surrounding Will's house.
Yang Tao looked at Will, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, and asked with a smile, "Will, if you had the ability to destroy the world, but the cost was that all surviving humans would also die, what would you choose?"
"No… these Darkseekers are just sick humans, and there's still hope for them to be cured…"
Seeing Will's newly determined gaze, Yang Tao said nothing more.
He silently put the Sculk Catalyst back into his backpack. He had really wanted to try the effect of this thing just now, but once it was used, there was basically no possibility of reversal.
So, it was better to be cautious.
