After all, in terms of administrative level, the organization he belongs to is several levels higher than that unit, and the standing committee of the National Security Commission of the People's Republic of China wants to use the identity of the military's intelligence chief to communicate with foreign countries, and there is always an inexplicable sense of aggrieved that Hua Botao is often pressed by the military people in the open side of the meeting and discussion. However, for now, he has to admit that the second and third bureaus are the most suitable disguise identities - they can not only give the outside world a certain deterrent, make some of their behaviors reasonable in the eyes of the outside world, but also not reveal their true identity too much.www.biquge.info

However, in the current situation, even using this identity is enough to make the communication on the other end of the call panic enough. Thinking of this, the corners of Hua Botao's mouth rose slightly, but he quickly eliminated this abnormal emotion from his mind: "Citizen Ge Chengzhi, what about your answer?" ”

“…… Sorry, two of my companions were making some noise just now, and I thought they were awake. After more than ten seconds, the other side slowly responded, "The person who gave me this watch warned me to watch out for one of the two of them, and I have to be careful...... In addition, can the title of 'citizen Ge Chengzhi' be replaced? I want to be able to talk to ...... And it sounds like a name from the United States more than 100 years ago. ”

Oh, this mentality is beyond imagination. And, do you want to change the atmosphere of the conversation to pave the way for regaining the initiative in the conversation? Maybe it's a good seedling. …… In a sense, I can understand why Yulin can take a fancy to him. Thinking of the relationship between his genius-like daughter and the person on the other end of the communication, Hua Botao began to secretly evaluate Ge Chengzhi's value in his heart. At the same time, further verbal pressure must not be stopped: "Citizen Ge Chengzhi, I hope you can understand your situation. You and I don't talk out of a position of reciprocity, and this title is also selected by me according to the procedures and regulations. I need you to answer my questions right away. How exactly did you get this watch? Besides, who is your partner? Why did that person ......?"

"I don't know. I passed out because I had been stabbed and I was not conscious, so I had no idea how the other party approached me and brought the watch to my wrist. But from my vague memory, I think that person has ...... Misfortune has befallen you. ”

No, this logical answer is too perfect. Either the other party is an excellent master of mastering their emotions, or something unexpected has happened. Considering the age of the other party, it may be thought that the latter is better. The biggest possibility should be that although the voiceprints match, it is not Ge Chengzhi himself...... Frowning slightly, Hua Botao came to this conclusion after careful consideration, and then immediately motioned to the technicians to prepare to find any attacks through this communication line: "So, who is your partner?" ”

"Helena Wood, I don't know who she is, but she's supposed to be a member of the European government, the military kind. If it weren't for her, I would have died a mob attack. The other is Cindy Carter, who she says is an employee of Aldifork Pharmaceuticals and claims to be ...... Be able to find an antidote to the bioweapons that have infected me. ”

"Have you confirmed that the attack on St. Denis was a bioterrorist attack?"

"It was Miss Helena who first discovered the bomb...... No, the spreading device. That's what she said. Based on the behavior of the people on the street, I think it should be possible to think so. ”

"You mentioned earlier that you've been infected and you're looking for an antidote, right?"

"Yes, but there have been too many thwarts to do so. According to Miss Cindy, we were only an hour and a half walk from where the antidote was, but our progress was rather slow because of my injuries and the soldiers and thugs in the streets. Especially in order to dodge armored vehicles......"

"Okay, I see." Seeing the latest holographic window of information about Helena Wood and Cindy Carter in front of him, Hua Botao interrupted the other party's words. Helena Wood has very little information, and it may be considered that she is a member of the European intelligence agency based on this conversation alone, and that Cindy Carter is the object of work before the "White Gloves" disappeared, which is indeed worth noting, "Please try to find an antidote first, and pay attention to Cindy Carter, a citizen Ge Chengzhi." We need some time to discuss a rescue plan. You can use this tool to contact us after 24 hours. ”

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Hua Botao decisively hung up the communication, and then began to analyze the hidden intelligence behind it. There's probably a big fish behind this thing...... Who, and for what purpose, took away the communication equipment of the "white glove" comrades, and pretended to be Ge Chengzhi's identity and voice to communicate with this side?

…… It would be nice to really have such a calm and logical high school student on the other side. This kind of good seedling must be dug up. Unable to realize where his suspicious professional habits had deviated his thinking, Hua Botao took a sip of tea and sighed in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Mianyue Toyohime looked at the door in front of her, with a hint of apprehension and reluctance in her mood. In the long society before this, she had been disgusted by Yuedu's request countless times, but if she had to say hate, this was definitely the first time. After two minutes of hesitation, she finally sighed and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it? …… Ah, Miss Mianyue? The voice that came from the intercom that I had been accustomed to hearing these days, although the spirit was strong, it was difficult to hide the meaning of old age, "The door has been opened, please come in." ”

Pushing open the door, the base commander's office and living room still looked neat as usual, with the bedding folded into tofu blocks, the sheets without a single wrinkle, and the military dress in blue and black that was folded and placed opposite the pillow, all revealing the good habits that the owner of the room had cultivated for a long time since he joined the army. Sitting in front of the table, Ouyang Yuhang turned his head and didn't seem to intend to hide the holographic window in front of him: "Is there something wrong?" …… Well? This is your formal attire, right? Why wear such formal clothes? ”

"What are you doing, Astronaut?" Without answering that question, Toyohime sat down on the bed not far from her desk, "Unmanned weapon system?" Are you working on this topic? ”

“…… I can't talk about research, because my main academic direction is still ...... Strategic and tactical analysis and response plans for extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms. Smiled a little embarrassedly, Ouyang Yuhang scratched the back of his head, "However, because the main combat environment is the vacuum state of the lunar surface, it is natural to pay more attention to unmanned weapons." ”

"You're trying to use those dumb suicide weapons against us? It's not a wise choice, Astronautics. It seemed that the other party looked down on him a little, and Mianyue Yiji pouted a little unhappily, "It's just AI...... Fifty years ago was their peak, and then this myth was shattered. ”

"That's not too absolute. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the American M4R5 Kaoyce main battle tank is not inferior to that of the Z-50, and the fundamental reason is that the revolutionary tactical artificial intelligence system on it reduces the crew to one person without reducing combat efficiency, isn't it? With a slightly wry smile, Ouyang Yuhang spread out his hand, "And in the confrontation of an air and space battle group such as a sea surface battle group or an orbital space station as the center, the role of artificial intelligence in tactical decision-making is already something that no commander or fighter can ignore." ”

"But you will leave the strategic decisions of your country to ...... No, not to mention strategic decisions, will you leave the command of the retaliatory strike against the moon capital to the AI to execute? Unconsciously using a sarcastic tone, Mizuki Toyohime asked rhetorically, "It doesn't even understand the meaning of 'retaliatory strike'." ”

"We shouldn't be talking about this kind of thing at a time or on a situation like this, Miss Mianyue." With a slight wave of his hand to put the holographic window away, Ouyang Yuhang didn't seem to want to talk too much on this issue, "I'm just writing a reply to a friend on Earth." ”

"That's right. So, let's talk about my side. Seeing that the other party took the initiative to end the topic, Mianyue Fengji had no intention of entanglement. Nodding her head in understanding, she stood up from the bed, faced Ouyang Yuhang, and gave a deep salute - with a deep sense of loss in her heart, "Thank you for helping me, Mr. Ouyang Yuhang." However, it is no longer convenient for me to continue to bother here. This time, I'm here to say goodbye to you. ”

“…… So fast? ”

From this sentence, Mianyue Toyohime heard the disbelief and a little sadness hidden underneath, and the latter made her heart feel a kind of sad joy. Maintaining the posture of bowing her head and saluting, she tried to suppress the mood of wanting to raise her head and peek at Ouyang Yuhang's expression: "Yes." I have to go back. ”

"Can't you really stay two more days?"

Don't be like that, Cosmos. I didn't want much. That little bit of loss was enough to make me happy for a long time, and I can even treat this sentence as a treasure for a lifetime. If you ...... again I probably won't be able to go back. Gritting his teeth, so that the sour feeling on his nose was not noticed by the other party, Mianyue Fengji still lowered her head: "No, Mr. Ouyang." ”

“…… That, I wish you ...... Peaceful. ”

A hand reached out. Subconsciously and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and shook it together, Mianyue Fengji suddenly felt the majestic momentum of the emotion in her heart, and wanted to pull her hand out like a panicked bird, but found that she couldn't get rid of Ouyang Yuhang's warm and rough big hand at all—maybe the other party was holding it very tightly, but maybe it was just a psychological factor. Raising her head, she unexpectedly found something in Ouyang Yuhang's eyes that surprised her: reluctance. Moreover, she can tell that this is not a reluctance to the "high-ranking officials of the moon capital", but a reluctance to the "Mianyue Fengji" herself......

It's been almost five minutes since the two hands have been overlapped. It wasn't holding hands, there was no more intimate expression, it was just a polite handshake gesture, but neither of them seemed to want to separate. Both men were staring at each other, and the five-minute conversation seemed to have simply turned into a tool to keep the situation going:

"It's an enemy again."

"Well, that's right, it's an enemy again. You've got to get married. ”

"I'm so old, no one wants it. And I have grandchildren too. I hope you'll be merciful. ”

"I'm sure I'm not going to show mercy, as always."

"Then I'll repel every attack beautifully, as usual."

"But some of the counterattacks aren't pretty, and I'll definitely improve when I go back and know that you have so much information."

"We've got a lot of information about you, too. This advantage is reciprocal. ”

It looks like you're going back and forth, but there's really no content at all. In any case, this situation will eventually come to an end: "...... I have to go, Mr. Ouyang. There wasn't much time. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry." The hand finally let go, "Forgive me for my faux pas." ”

"It's okay." Enough is enough, right? It's good to be able to say goodbye. Pulling a smile on his face, Mianyue Toyohime slowly retreated to the door, "...... Good bye. ”

"Goodbye. …… Wait, Miss Mianyue! ”

“…… What the? ”

“…… This outfit suits you perfectly. It's beautiful. ”

“…… Thank you. ”

"I just told the truth and didn't need to thank you. …… See you on the battlefield. ”

“…… Thank you. See you on the battlefield. ”

Since it was developed for the purpose of biological and chemical weapons, in order to ensure that it does not get out of control, the external behavior of Hades MKII bacteria is quite stable, so it is very difficult to find the cause of its mutation into MKIII. Patient Zero is only a slightly more likely breakthrough, but there is still little hope in terms of probability. After India paid a heavy price, the world finally got the antidote, so how much will China pay this time?

Every time he thinks about this question, Wang Shunfeng always feels a chill on the back of his neck. As a microbiologist who had accurately predicted the current situation many years ago, he was under a lot of psychological pressure – from the moment he was transferred to a hospital in Xinjiang, he thought he had nothing to do with microbiology anymore, until the Minister of Health came to see him in Andier Township.

Thankfully, he's pretty good at all of this and hasn't forgotten much about the important things. Unfortunately, even though Patient Zero's body had been turned upside down, the expert group was unable to find out the cause of the MKII mutation - under the premise that the bacteria mutated in Patient Zero's body. Perhaps, now this so-called "Patient Zero" is only infected by the real Patient Zero.

"If we blindly assume that a test item that deviates slightly from the normal value as the cause of the variation, there is no way to explain why this kind of variation did not occur in India." Across the table, a somewhat tired expert put it this way, "The patient's genetic profile was also carefully screened, and nothing of note was found." Maybe we should shift gear. ”

At this time, all the members of the expert group set their eyes on Wang Shunfeng, the team leader. Because of his achievements many years ago and the well-known degree of that accident in the academic circle, his words are still quite authoritative within the expert group, not to mention that the responsibility of team leader fell on his shoulders, and the final decision was naturally made by him.

“…… One day. Gritting his teeth, Wang Shunfeng put his index finger up, "Let's discuss it for another day." If nothing came of it after a day, we changed the direction of our research and all the team members went to the P4 lab in Beijing with the bacterial samples. If you think about it, is there anything we have overlooked? ”

"You've drained our brains, Team Leader Wang." With a wry smile, one of the members helped his glasses. His joke seemed to be accepted by everyone, and the wry smile spread as quickly as the enemy they faced, "We've thought about all the possibilities of mutation. If only we had been doctors sixty years ago, when the pathological theories of bacteria and microbes were not as developed as they are now, we could honestly develop antibiotics from scratch instead of trying to find shortcuts in patient zero. ”

“…… Hold on. At the same time as hearing a noteworthy word, Ge Yiwei's brain CT scan image appeared on the holographic window in front of Wang Shunfeng, "What did you just say?" Brain, right? ”

"Anything new?"

Just like a predator who has been hungry for three days but finds its prey, the eyes of the members of the expert group began to glow with that kind of green light, and as before, the focus of their eyes was also Wang Shunfeng, the team leader. After staring at the image in front of him for a minute, Wang Shunfeng slurred his mouth fiercely: "...... Miserable by this damn old-fashioned diagnostic system in this hospital...... The patient has Hagram mania and has developed brain lesions. It's small, but you'll remember that MKII also has an effect on the nerves of the brain......"

Everyone present quickly exchanged glances, and they all received the same answer from each other.

"Where the mutation is affected......" muttered in a small voice with hatred and a sense of hope from the corner, "not the lungs, but ...... Brain? ”
