Chapter IV: The Situation Is Grim
May 28, 203 A.D., one o'clock in the evening.
Aurora General Capital, Longzhou, Underground Secret Base Research Institute.
A man in a special uniform stands outside the transparent glass of the laboratory.
He has a majestic figure, a Chinese face, and his eyes are deep staring at the situation in the research room, and he can't see joy or anger.
After a while, a person wearing a chemical protective suit came out of the research room, his name was Xu Hong, and after quickly eliminating the poison, he came to the man's side and said respectfully: "Chief, the latest situation of the i alien body has come out." ”
"Let's talk about it. The man's tone was tired, but unusually steady.
Xu Hong said: "After comparison, I allogeneic and any previous BD has no connection, at present, it is beyond our understanding, we can not determine the source, except for some people can be immune, the infection rate should exceed 60%. ”
"In addition, research has learned that infected people evolve and mutate. ”
The man frowned, "What's the difference between the two?"
Xu Hong said: "The most common infected person, an adult man can basically deal with it, but after the infected person preys on flesh and blood to obtain a certain amount of energy, the long will evolve into the next stage - predator within a week, and the short one will not even exceed 24 hours." ”
"Predators are ugly, faster, stronger, hard, black-clawed hands, and have a keen sense of hearing. According to the preliminary judgment, it will take three well-trained national security officers to defeat. ”
"Predators will continue to evolve, and Professor Zhou theorizes that in the next stage, they will develop a sensitive sense of smell, and their strength, speed, and defense will be greatly improved, and the threat will be immeasurable, and they will be called brutal. It is theoretically speculated that at this stage, they will continue to evolve even more terrifying. ”
The green tendons on the back of the man's hand collapsed: "What about the mutation?"
Xu Hong continued: "Mutants are different from ordinary infected people from the beginning, on the one hand, they will produce all kinds of strange changes, such as getting bigger or smaller, poisonous ones will spray venom, and their tongues will become tough and can be extended to a long length. In addition, after discussion, Professor Zhou and Professor Yang also came to a conclusion that not only humans, but also animals and plants will also mutate, and the direction of mutation is unknown, and the specific results need to be studied. ”
"You've worked hard, please do your best to study antibodies, go down. The man waved his hand, a sea of anxiety surging beneath his deep eyes.
"Yes. ”
It wasn't long before a communication bell rang from the man.
The man raised his left hand and pulled back his sleeve, revealing a black streamer-shelled arm guard.
With a few taps of his right hand, his arm guard sounded, and a holographic projection appeared, which was a bald man in a national security uniform.
There was a faint sadness in the bald man's solemn face: "Report to the chief, at present, 289 of the 545 national security bases have been cleaned up, and all the infected have been executed, and 186 of the other 256 national security bases have completely fallen, 34 are still being cleaned up, and 36 are in danger." Please instruct. ”
The man clenched his fists violently, and his brows on both sides furrowed into a line: "Chenguang, I won't be too verbose about the situation now, first of all, immediately assist the 70 bases that have not been cleared, and reduce the losses as much as possible." In addition, although the security services in various places are carrying out rescues, it is only a drop in the bucket. Except for the national security team, the rest made every effort to rescue civilians within 24 hours, bringing them to bases and strongholds for investigation and resettlement. Debrief every two hours. ”
"Yes. Leader, Dawnlight will complete its mission!"
......
In the early morning, a touch of morning light rises in the east, and the snow finally melts.
Li Wuwu had a long, long dream.
He dreamed of his deceased father, Li Gunan, standing on the hillside, smiling and waving to him from afar, and he ran over excitedly and happily.
But who knew that he had just approached Li Gulan.
The smile on Li Gulan's face slowly let go.
"Worry-free, you promised me to take care of your mother and sister, what about them?"
"Dad, mother and sister are at home. Li Wuwu replied.
"Are you at home?" Li Gulan turned around with a sneer and walked into the distance, "Do you know that they are being besieged by the infected. ”
"What? Infected ......"
Li Wuwu stood in place in a daze, as if he remembered something in his mind.
Disaster, cannibalism, blood, stench, notice......
Scenes followed.
"Dad!"
Li Wuwu shouted vigorously.
It's been four years, and he has forgotten the warmth of being caressed by his father's big hand on the top of his head.
He chased after him, wanting to grab his father's hand, to get closer to the warmth that touched his heart.
But the tighter he chased, the faster Li Gunan went.
Gradually, the back of the majestic shore became smaller and smaller.
Boom.
The entire mountain collapsed, the stone path under his feet cracked, and blazing magma poured out of the ground.
As soon as Li Wuwu's feet slipped, he rolled down into the magma, and suddenly his skin and flesh opened, and all his five parts burned, and an indescribable tearing sensation spread throughout his body, as if every cell was being burned by magma.
No!
Li Wuwu woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, sweating profusely, he struggled to sit up, and the quilt covered by his body fell to the ground.
Or women's dormitory 402.
The slight sound of breathing was distinct in the room.
It's good that it's just a dream.
Li Wuwu breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, only to find that he was sitting on the floor, his hands and feet were tightly tied with wide strips of tape, and even his mouth was sealed.
0.0?
After a little reflection, he understood the situation.
Prior to his coma, he was experiencing a fever all over his body, consistent with the high fever described in the notice.
"They should have tied me up for fear that I would become infected, smart, but this thing can't bind me. ”
Li Wuwu's hands and feet exerted force together, his muscles bulged slightly, and he broke free, and it only took half of his strength to hear a "collapse" sound, and the dense tape wrapped around his wrists and arms broke in half.
With one hand, he tore open the small sweat towel that was taped to his face, and touched the pocket with the other.
A nervous girl's voice sounded overhead.
"Hey, Li Wuwu, are you a human or an infected?"
It turned out that Liu Qihuan, who had always slept lightly, woke up when he heard the sound of Li Wuwu breaking the tape.
The university is basically on the bed and off the table, and after Liu Qihuan woke up, he leaned on the bed and looked down.
Li Wuwu raised his head and shrugged his shoulders: "Have you ever seen such a humane infected person?"
The conversation between the two woke up the remaining three people who were sleeping on the bed.
Xiong Yu rubbed his eyes, stepped on the stairs and jumped down, hugged Li Wuwu, and patted Li Wuwu's back excitedly: "Haha, Wuwu, I knew you were fine, great!"
On the bed, Yang Lingling looked at the two of them with a relaxed expression and smiled.
Su Jingran, who was sleeping on the same side as Liu Qihuan, also smiled sweetly, like a hibiscus slightly open.
There was such a disaster, and several people slept with their clothes on.
"What do you mean by tying me up?" Li Wuwu said with a flat face.
Xiong Yu let go of Li Wuwu, and a smile paused on his face: "Wuwu, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was preempted by Su Jingran: "I'm sorry, Li Wuwu, it was my idea, Xiong Yu is dedicated to ...... for you"
"Hehe?" Liu Qihuan sneered twice and said, "Li Wuwu, who do you want to blame for that situation yesterday? I originally suggested that they push you down, but they were soft-hearted and tied you up, and if you come again, I will still stick to my principles." ”
"Qi Huan!" Yang Lingling snorted lightly, feeling that what Liu Qihuan said was too ugly.
Li Wuwu suddenly smiled, revealing two white and neat teeth: "Well done, Xiong Zi, Yang Lingling, thank you, Su Jingran, and Liu Qihuan, you are not wrong." Don't worry, I'm not angry, in this situation, if you want to save your life, you have to be careful, see you guys so nervous, just kidding. ”
", you guy......" Xiong Yu scolded with a smile and lightly punched Li Wuwu in the chest.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound outside the door, and needless to say, it was the reaction of the infected wandering in the corridor when they heard the sound.
Li Wuwu's voice immediately became much smaller: "Xiongzi, where is my mobile phone?"
As soon as he tore open the sweat towel sealed on his mouth, he touched his mobile phone in his pocket, but unfortunately he didn't find it. Between the authoritative news and the dream just now, he is really worried about his family.
"Oh, yes. Xiong Yu took out Li Wuwu's mobile phone from his pocket, "Yesterday afternoon, not long after you were in a coma, Auntie replied to Vx call, I made up a lie at the time, and told her that you were too tired to save us and fell asleep, Auntie woke you up, reply to a message, and at night, I imitated the tone you usually speak and turned back to Auntie and said It's okay, you can see for yourself." ”
Li Wuwu also punched Xiong Yu in the chest, and everything was silent.
After taking the mobile phone, Li Wuwu clicked on the communication software.
The familiar avatar is placed on top, and a large number of unread messages are displayed on it.
"Son, Mom knows that it wasn't you who answered the message in the afternoon, but I believe that you are safe and alive. Mom and An An are at grandpa's house, the situation is fine, don't worry. The only thing you have to do now is protect yourself, you know?
When help arrives, you must follow the team. If, I mean, if there is no rescue, then you must be safe, live well, and don't worry about us. Promise your mother, no matter what the situation, you will live well, and your mother loves you. ”
The message time is 1:35 a.m.
Li Wuwu's face did not have much emotional fluctuations, he took his mobile phone and replied: "Mom, don't worry, I will live well, you, my sister and grandpa must protect yourself." ”
Picking up his phone, a firm thought rose in his heart.
He's going back to his hometown, he's going to protect his family.
That dream was not accidental, maybe it was my father reminding me of something.
The notice said that the infection rate reached 50%.
This means that out of 1.6 billion people in Aurora, 800 million people are infected!
800 million!
What a terrible number.
After this night of disaster, the number of infected people is likely to skyrocket.
Did the national security team really come to the rescue?
Those who are clear-headed will understand that the only one who can rely on them now is themselves!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent, even sad.
Li Wuwu looked sideways, the expressions on everyone's faces were gloomy and sad, and the three girls were silently shedding tears.
In an instant, he understood why.
It's family.
Perhaps, of the five, only their own family members survived.
This damn apocalypse.
"I'm a little rushed by this smell, does it make you all stink? Then I'll go take a shower first. ”
Li Wuwu opened his mouth to break the atmosphere of dead silence, and it was not a good thing to be immersed in sadness, especially now.
Several people in the dormitory were stunned for a moment.
Xiong Yu glanced at Li Wuwu, immediately came to his senses, and cooperated: "Indeed, worry-free, don't you say that I don't think I think it is, I've covered it all night, mom, it tastes a little spicy eyes, hurry up and wash, hurry up and wash!"
"By the way, the red one is the bath towel I used. ”
Li Wuwu walked into the bathroom and made an OK gesture.
One of the reasons why he broke the atmosphere by taking a shower was that there was a real smell on his body, but more importantly, he wanted to be sure of one thing.
It's not the first time I've been in a coma like yesterday.
Li Wuwu took off his clothes neatly and hung them behind the door, revealing a body of well-defined muscles, at his heart, there was a tripod-shaped imprint, three legs and two ears, the size of a ping-pong ball, the imprint was red, and it was as realistic as the real thing.
"Old man, it's you!"
Li Wuwu lowered his head, his fingers caressing and muttering on the tripod mark.
