In the Tinder No. 1 underground base, the air elevator carried Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen all the way down.

The elevator switched to voice control mode, and Nan Zhiqiao issued a voice command, "Go to the vaccine storage center." ”

"Yes, to the vaccine storage center. The elevator made a mechanical lady's voice.

The sky elevator stops at the 26th basement level, and a small tram that moves horizontally connects to the elevator.

Nan Zhiqiao took Zhen Zhen's hand, entered the small tram, and sat in the seat.

The tram travels horizontally, passes through the central spiral staircase, and then passes through a safety valve into a narrow glass corridor.

As soon as she entered the glass corridor, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt that her surroundings were cool, and there was a slight chill.

Outside the glass corridor, rows of steel shelves stand on the ground.

Looking up, the top of the steel frame connects to the metal ceiling of the floor.

The steel shelves are divided into layers, and each shelf is lined with small transparent plastic tubes containing colorful liquids and powders......

Some shelves are lined with small brown tubes, as well as metal tubes, which seem to be things that need to be protected from light.

Thinking of the instruction issued by Nan Zhiqiao just now, Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Senior Nan, are all vaccines on the shelf?"

"Yes, all kinds of vaccines. ”

"Why are there so many vaccines stored here? Doesn't Nanmu Group have its own vaccine company? It's the Nuojing vaccine company. ”

Sitting in the tram, Nan Zhiqiao explained: "Nuojing Vaccine Company is a registered company, and the vaccines produced in the company are all conventional vaccines that can be seen on the market, but here, it is just the opposite. ”

"Are they all uncommon vaccines?" Ye Zhenzhen continued Nan Zhiqiao's words.

"Well, for example, the Ebola vaccine, which is not yet available, and the smallpox vaccine, which has not been used for a long time. ”

Ye Zhenzhen was amazed, and the small transparent tram under her was speeding in the huge vaccine storage warehouse.

After turning one floor, go down to another.

It has been down more than ten floors, and each floor is the same huge iron frame, and the iron frame has various vaccines.

After looking at it for a long time, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh: "These dozen layers are all vaccines." ”

"Well, strategic reserves. ”

Ye Zhenzhen asked: "What are we going to do in the vaccine storage center for so long?"

"Take you on a tour. ”

"Ahh

Nan Zhiqiao smiled, "I know you're curious about this place, visit first, it's good for finding clues, and it's ......"

Nan Zhiqiao paused slightly, and then said, "Moreover, the two of us have to inject some vaccines." ”

"What vaccine?"

"You'll find out in a moment. ”

The trolley is parked in a central hall on the 38th basement floor.

There were seven or eight white-clad staff here, and when they saw Nan Zhiqiao walking down from the small tram, they all greeted politely, "Mr. Xiao Nan!"

Nan Zhiqiao took Ye Zhenzhen to a high chair in front of the experimental table, pressed Ye Zhenzhen to sit on it, and turned back to the staff and instructed: "Adjust two smallpox fourth-generation vaccines." ”

The staff was instructed to pick up the vaccine from the vaccine depot.

Ye Zhenzhen asked rhetorically: "Smallpox vaccine, do you want to inject the two of us?"

"Well, among the several strains of bacteria that were stolen, only for the smallpox virus, the two of us have not been vaccinated yet, and this time we are vaccinated to prevent accidents. ”

"What kind of accident will the two of us have, we don't have contact with the smallpox virus, and the smallpox virus has been eradicated for more than 20 years. ”

"The virus cannot be completely eliminated, the so-called elimination, but human beings have not found the epidemic of the virus in the population, in the global smallpox vaccination campaign decades ago, the smallpox virus seems to have disappeared in the population, but this is just the appearance, human beings have not been vaccinated against smallpox for more than 20 years, there is no antibodies against smallpox in the population, in some cases, once the virus that has disappeared for many years appears, it will cause a new epidemic, this is the original intention of our storage of vaccines. ”

"Have all the staff here been vaccinated?"

"Well, we have all been vaccinated, and the two of us are also vaccinated to prevent terrorist attacks. ”

Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, and yes, although the smallpox virus is rarely used as a biological warfare agent, because there are no antibodies against the smallpox virus in the population, it will be more lethal if it is now used as a biological weapon.

"Senior Nan, if the strain is stolen, will it be used to produce biological weapons? ”

"Not necessarily, but it's possible. Nan Zhiqiao frowned slightly, obviously a little worried.

——

The staff quickly prepared the smallpox vaccine and delivered it to Nan Zhiqiao.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the vaccine box curiously, "Senior Nan, to prevent smallpox, we used to use vaccinia vaccine, but this vaccine doesn't seem to be, I see, the ingredients are written on it is a certain protein." ”

"This is the fourth-generation smallpox vaccine, and the smallpox virus antigen is synthesized by genetic recombination, which is a protein. ”

"Oh, and improvements. ”

One of the staff members disinfected and injected the arms of two people.

The clear vaccine liquid entered the body, and there was a numb feeling, and soon, the numbness disappeared, and there was no abnormal feeling at all.

Nan Zhiqiao: "Rest here for half an hour first." ”

During the half-hour break, Nan Zhiqiao replayed last night's surveillance video.

In the surveillance video, a thin, slightly hunched man sneakily passed through the gates and stopped in front of a biometric door.

The emaciated man pulled out a clear plastic bag from the pocket of his white overalls.

Zooming in on the surveillance footage, you can clearly see that inside the transparent plastic bag is a bloody half-cut palm.

The man took the severed palm out of the bag and placed it lightly on the scanning screen of the biometric door, while pressing the palm of his left hand on it.

The biosecurity door in the monitor requires double verification, a emaciated man and another senior researcher surnamed Li.

The verification is passed, the biosafety door opens, and the white frost air blows in the face.

The emaciated man wrapped his clothes, slipped through the security door, and entered the Tinder No. 1 Bacteria and Virus Storage.

From the rows of iron shelves, follow the markings, selectively locate the strain preservation tubes, take out a few and put them in the sample storage box that you carry with you.

After tidying up, the emaciated man left the strain storage with the box.

Everything was going smoothly, and the emaciated man was about to get on the sky elevator with his suitcase and leave the underground base, when Dr. Mu suddenly appeared.

Dr. Mu obviously knew the emaciated man, and the two were stunned when they met, Dr. Mu first greeted him, and then asked why the emaciated man came here?

After a few words of inquiry, the emaciated man began to feel weak.

Dr. Mu asked the emaciated man to open the box, and the man leaned down, pretending to open the box, and then looked up, but suddenly pulled out a pistol from his arms.

Draw your gun and shoot, and all the action is done almost instantaneously.

Although Dr. Mu tried his best to dodge, he was shot in the shoulder.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the entire Tinder 1 underground base.
