Chapter 14: Rain or Shine
At midnight, it was already silent, but the main conference room of the Navy Headquarters was brightly lit, starting from the Supreme Commander Marshal of the Warring States, three generals, twelve lieutenant generals, several staff officers of the General Staff, and senior generals were all present.
Half an hour ago, after Admiral Huang Ape reported to the Marshal of the Warring States, the Marshal's Office activated a high-level alert, and the high-ranking members of the Navy who received the message immediately suspended and rushed back to the headquarters to attend the meeting, no matter what they were currently doing.
After everyone arrived, the marshal of the Warring States raised his hand slightly, and the staff of the secretarial office distributed the materials to each participant, and then, the naval commander at the top of the conference table did not say anything, just picked up the copy in his hand, bowed his head and began to flip through it.
On both sides of the lengthy conference table, the admirals who rushed back to participate in the emergency meeting temporarily looked solemn, but there was also a hint of suspicion in their eyes, after all, it was really... It's so strange~ There was no sign at all when I got off work in the evening, and it was rare for the pirate camp to stop recently, so why did I suddenly receive a high-level warning signal at dawn.
When I returned to the headquarters, I entered the conference room and saw the Marshal of the Warring States, the three admirals, together with the two lieutenant generals of the Flying Squirrel and the Oni Spider, who were already seated, and except for the Marshal of the Warring States, the remaining five looked more or less gloomy, as if a tricky battle was about to begin.
However, strange as strange, the confused generals still gathered their minds and began to focus on the content recorded in the data.
The room was even more silent, except for the sound of pages turning for a moment.
The general yellow ape propped his elbows on the table of the conference table, his hands reached the shape of a spire, covering the lower part of his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the stack of materials in front of him did not move.
Because he didn't need to look at it, all the materials he read in the conference room were from the Ministry of Science, and all of them were sorted out and the worst results were guessed, so General Huang Yu informed the Marshal of the Warring States and asked for the activation of a high-level warning signal to prevent this sudden accident from turning into a disaster.
…………
A few hours ago, a vicious/incident occurred at the intersection of the Ministry of Science and the office area, and all the strange attackers who were able to regenerate were killed, and the wreckage was brought back to the Department of Science for autopsy.
The yellow ape who originally went to visit Anna returned with a feather, but the condition of the comatose man was really not good, even the yellow ape couldn't bear to be persecuted, so he could only focus on the test results of the stump first.
Returning to the Ministry of Science from the office building where the medical unit was located, General Yellow Ape immediately received bad news.
His expectations were all disappointed.
The severed limbs of the collected remains were placed in sealed containers, and before the researchers at the workbench could activate the robotic arm to remove the cells, the musculature decayed and rotted at an incredible rate, turning into piles of filthy pus in the blink of an eye, leaving behind bluish bones.
As the researcher hurried to the real room, the yellow ape saw that the pile looked like it had been dug out of a cemetery... Remains that have been buried for many years.
The container was fully enclosed, and the test showed that there was only useless hard honeycomb calcification material left in the bones, and there was not a single usable cell, and the bone marrow, soft tissue, protein, and even the decaying fluid were all evaporated in less than a few minutes.
It's weird and bad, and worse is yet to come.
The attackers identified the skeletons that were piled up in the chamber of the Ministry of Science, and that they were Navy...
The general Red Inu and the pheasant, together with the flying squirrel ghost spider, and the four of them immediately began to investigate after separating from the yellow ape, but before they could make a big move, an abnormal situation was reported in a certain station, and the whereabouts of more than a dozen navies in the barracks of that station were unknown.
The number of missing people coincides with that of the attackers.
After looking at the personnel information submitted by the station, the flying squirrel and the ghost spider confirmed that it was the attacker who had been killed.
These personnel are all low-ranking generals, and after investigation, it was confirmed that they were members of the frigate fleet defense unit that escorted scientific research ships when the Ministry of Science set sail last quarter.
Things went round and round and went around together.
Poisoning, theft, night raids, contacting everything, Admiral Huang Ape had to think that the Navy Headquarters had been buried in an unknown crisis, and, very badly, the Navy had no clue at all, and there was no connection between several things investigated, at least on the surface.
…………
The conference room was very quiet, and every general who participated in the meeting frowned, looking intently at the information in hand, and the more they looked at it, the more solemn their expressions became, and everyone understood what these records meant.
The strange regeneration, the power has been leaped, and the mystery can be put on hold until the mystery is completely solved, and the key is the attackers.
The purpose of the night raid can also be put aside, but how did these admirals become a danger? They are the personnel of the headquarters, and each of them is an elite member selected from various bases after experiencing a rain of bullets, and in addition to their qualifications, their minds are also recognized.
In the case of mutiny, regardless of the fact that the Naval Inspectorate has always been aware of the unstable factors in the troops, the attackers have investigated from all sides and concluded that they have no similarities.
The attackers were born on different islands, and their upbringing was not the same, they belonged to different teams in the station, and they had no contact on weekdays, except for the task of escorting scientific research ships with the fleet last quarter, they basically did not intersect, and several people were even on different warships in the escort mission, and the common point was the destination of the landing scientific research ship.
They had set foot on that island, Seshre, a deserted island in the windless zone.
Because of the special magnetic field and the windless zone, the island of Seshel is only used in the navy to store zài, there are no inhabitants on the island, there are no neighboring islands, and it hangs alone in the sea, so the Ministry of Naval Science sent a scientific research ship this time in order to investigate and study the environment of Seşhir Island and determine whether it has the conditions to become a secret base of the navy.
If the attackers' mutations come from Seshil... On that voyage last quarter, all the personnel...
And that's why the High Police Call was activated tonight.
…………
After a long time, the participating generals on both sides of the conference table put down the information in their hands one after another and focused their attention on the top Warring States Marshal.
The Supreme Commander of the Navy also frowned, and only after a while did he speak in a dumb voice, "Can't you determine the source of the mutation?" As he spoke, his gaze was slightly off to the left-handed general Yellow Ape, "The Ministry of Science is at a loss?" ”
"Yay~ I couldn't find any cell analysis available." The Yellow Ape General sighed in a low voice, his expression was uncertain, he paused, picked up the information in front of him and flipped through it at will, and then said, "The fleet garrison escorting Seshl must be thoroughly inspected. ”
"The focus is on the soldiers who are operating at the same time as these deviants, all of whom have been close to a particular area of the island, according to the mission logs."
"Just a blood sample." Raising his eyes and looking at the generals on both sides of the conference table, the general Yellow Ape lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice, "At least we must make sure that their bodies are not abnormal." ”
"If you land on the island, you get something foreign... In the absence of a judgment, we cannot guarantee that it will not be contagious. ”
Speaking of this, there was silence for a moment, and General Yellow Ape sighed, "Of course, the situation is not so bad that it is irreparable. ”
Comparing his fingers with the materials that were thrown on the table, the yellow ape said slowly, "These people who have made mutations have one thing in common, they have not yet learned the Navy Six for various reasons. ”
Navy Six, a physical technique that surpasses the limits of human physical fitness.
Theoretically, every general who was promoted to the headquarters would be able to learn the Six Styles, and these attackers, due to their own qualifications or other reasons, were not able to master the secret art of the Navy for the time being.
If... This is the difference, then, the general Yellow Ape thinks that it is really a great luck in misfortune.
…………
If the strength of the strength is divided by the pyramid of the individual strength of the navy, the Navy Six is a landmark watershed, and only by mastering it can we stand out and embark on the road to the peak of the strong.
Because the Navy Six Styles temper the physique, let the user then begin to master the domineering.
The power system in the world is roughly divided into two parts, Devil Fruit and Domineering, Devil Fruit is an external factor, but domineering is everyone's innate power, just because each person has different qualifications, some people can become strong, and some people can't activate it for the rest of their lives.
There are various ways to stimulate domineering, and the vast majority of dangers are uncertain, and the Navy Six is the only one that has been perfected at present, and the steady dìng step-by-step method of stimulating domineering is indefinite.
When the results of the investigation showed that the attackers had not yet mastered the six forms, did the yellow ape think that it was possible to speculate that the line of advancing powerhouses with the six naval styles as a ladder isolated the occurrence of mutations?
Practicing the Six Naval Styles, whether or not they are all mastered, it is only a matter of time before each practitioner's innate potential is mobilized.
That is to say, human beings are inherently domineering, and when the recessive turns into the overt, those unknown alien substances cannot corrode the human body.
"If there is a zài lesion, and the line that blocks the infection is domineering." Slowly raising his gaze, Admiral Yellow Ape said in a calm tone that bordered on cruelty, "At least the navy's losses can be limited to a certain range. ”
The admirals who attended the meeting were silent for a long time, their expressions were all difficult to see, and no one said anything to refute them, and the conclusion of the admiral yellow ape was ruthless, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it was understandable.
If it is a disease, the entire camp of the Navy will pay the price, sacrificing some people to save more people, even if... It sounds very cold-blooded, but it is a must-do.
Because the danger factor of mutants cannot be ascertained, the top brass of the Navy Headquarters must not only ensure the lives of ordinary soldiers, but also civilians in the town of Malinford, in addition... The virus spreads, and the world pays the price... No one can afford it.
Of course, all this is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence to confirm it, and the decision of the general Yellow Ape is already very mild, only to take blood samples for analysis and testing, rather than more brutal secret detention or even execution.
It is best that the soldiers are not unusual, on the contrary... I am afraid that cold decisions are inevitable.
………… Dividing line ............
The emergency meeting did not end until nearly the early hours of the morning, and after the meeting was adjourned, the generals left the conference room with solemn faces, and then went to their respective camps to begin to deploy and strengthen the defense, with the town being the top priority, followed by the forward defense line of the island.
The fleet that sailed to Seshehr last quarter was secretly put on first-level alert, and at that time, the list of officers and soldiers accompanying the ship was handed over to the office of the marshal of the warring states, and the Ministry of Science contacted the medical unit to prepare for sampling and testing after dawn.
In order to ensure the stability of the military's heart, it will be on the grounds of physical examination.
…………
Leaving the conference room, the general Yellow Ape encountered a ghost spider waiting there downstairs in the office building.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, the expression on the ghost spider's face changed, and he wanted to speak several times, and finally his eyes darkened little by little, and he didn't say anything, he turned around and walked away quickly.
When the ghost spider disappeared into the distant darkness, the yellow ape retracted his gaze, sighed silently, and shook his head.
He knew why the ghost spider was waiting here, and he knew why he didn't say a word and left, so that the unconscious man in the medical department.
The ghost spider tried to say something for Anna, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
Anna's daughter, an intern in the Science Department, happened to sail with the ship last quarter.
If it is unfortunate to distinguish between aberration and non-deviance with domineering, the researchers on the scientific research ship at that time were... If the cause of the infection is geographically dependent, the attackers used an advance force to enter a specific area to survey the terrain, and later protected the researchers from staying there for a while.
Several factors are combined, and if it is unfortunate, the Ministry of Science will also lose a lot this time.
The general Yellow Ape walked alone on the road to the Ministry of Science, and at the moment when no one saw it, regret and slight pain appeared on his face, he was not hard-hearted, but he could not show favoritism.
Even Sentomaru was among those who were tested, not to mention the intern.
Even if it was a pity, the situation reached the worst, and the yellow ape had to make a decision.
It's all fresh lives~ How could he be indifferent?
The street lights on both sides of the path are bright, but the momentum of the general yellow ape is low, the trees on both sides are lush, lush during the day, and a little hideous at night, when the wind blows, it is like ... A monster hidden in the headquarters of the Navy.
Raising his hand and rubbing the corners of his forehead, the yellow ape let out a low sigh.
Nana, an intern in the Ministry of Science, is only sixteen years old, and she should still be studying at the military academy with her physical qualifications, but unfortunately, Huang Ape thought to herself, that child has a very high talent for biology, and the Ministry of Science included her in advance.
If so... What a pity that kid is.
I wish all the people involved were normal.
…………
Halfway to the Ministry of Science, General Huang Yu thought about it and turned around and walked towards the location of the medical unit.
After the data was collected and confirmed, before the meeting began, Huang Ape ordered the mobile unit of the Ministry of Science to take blood samples from all the researchers, and hand them over to the medical team to be stationed in the analysis room for testing.
In order to ensure 100% accuracy of the test results.
In addition, Sentomaru ... The general Yellow Ape was transferred back to his juniors and treated the child like everyone else, while the intern Nana, a little girl who was out of control and unconscious, was monitored by secret officers under his command, and when she woke up, a blood sample was drawn for testing.
The reason why he treats the child so specially, Huang Ape thinks that he probably pities the child's mother, right?
After all...
There was a slight pause under his feet while he was walking, and the yellow ape quietly looked at the office building of the medical army not far away, stunned for a long time, and finally took a step.
…………
The building was quiet, most of the personnel were seconded to the Ministry of Science, and the yellow ape walked all the way to his destination, raising his hand all the way to signal the soldiers who had heard the movement to check back.
These people hidden in the shadows are the direct troops of the yellow ape, and the reason for taking over here is not only surveillance, but also the meaning of vigilance.
When passing by the room where the interns were placed, the yellow ape stood outside the door and glanced inside, the little girl had not woken up yet, and the nearby surveillance personnel also reported that there was no change, and after ordering his subordinates to continue to pay close attention, he went upstairs again.
Anna and Nana, two people placed on the upper and lower floors of a building, a qiē before it was determined, for the woman who had been violated by Yan zhòng... Even if the heart is cold and hard, where it can be taken care of, the yellow ape will not be stingy with that bit of compassion.
The person to be visited lies in a special ward, quietly, Gregor. When House went to the Ministry of Science, he told the medical staff who stayed behind to reply to General Yellow Ape that her vital signs were normal and that she might be able to wake up naturally in time.
The Supreme Commander of the Medical Corps once made a judgment on her situation, and the special conditions stimulated the body to regress, and the cellular memory was only temporary, and the brain would be forced to recover beyond the time limit, and then wake up.
In other words, after a period of time, she will still open her eyes in a daze and continue to forget.
…………
The light in the special ward was soft, her long hair was spread on the pillow, her eyes were closed, as if she was dreaming of something bad, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked weak.
Standing quietly on the side of the bed, listening to the whispered report of the medical staff left behind, the yellow ape frowned, suddenly raised his hand to signal a pause, and after a while, turned his head and raised his chin in the direction of the door.
At the signal, the medical staff silently retreated and closed the door.
After the sound of the shreddling was gone, the general yellow ape turned his face, looked at the window on the other side of the ward against the outer wall, thought for a moment, walked over again, pushed the window open, and the night breeze poured in, and the rolled up curtains swayed and shook the field of vision.
casually closed the window again, turned around and leaned back against the window frame, the corners of his mouth hooked, "yes~ It's really..."
Looking at the figure that entered the room along the open window in an instant, and suddenly flashed beside the bed, the yellow ape narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sakasky." ”
He said it was strange that the usually indifferent and unkind guy would go to the Ministry of Science plantation with the pheasant for the nonsense-sounding excuse of 'passing by'.
Originally...
The man standing beside the hospital bed did not speak, and even seemed to not pay attention to the yellow ape's half-mocking gaze, and stood quietly for a while before slowly leaning down and reaching out his hand.
The yellow ape raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of surprise hidden in his eyes.
Shogun Akainu's behavior tonight is simply... It's weird.
The man carefully lifted the quilt, then sat on his side and half-hugged the lying person in his arms, and then gently untied her clothes.
Feed! After a few seconds of sluggishness, the corners of the yellow ape's mouth twitched, and before he could turn his gaze, he saw the back of the man whose clothes were half faded... The pale and bloodless skin made those bruises hideous and terrible.
The criss-crossing marks covered the man's back, down to the back of the waist... And the general Akainu, who made what can be called a rude act, carefully roamed his fingers on her back, as if to check something.
After a while, he seemed to be sure of the answer and stopped, withdrew his hand, and quickly rearranged her clothes.
Placing the person in place and covering him with a quilt, the yellow ape found that the lips of the colleague who looked down at the person moved, the volume was so low that it was almost impossible to discern, but the words were inexplicable.
Shogun Akainu said, "It turns out that you are on this side of time. ”
…………
Raising his hand to caress the man's eyebrows and eyes, the man in the crimson suit slowly turned around, and when his colleague approached, the yellow ape stepped sideways, allowing the other party to open the window, disappearing without warning as when he came.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the dim night outside the window, turned his face, and the yellow ape looked at the unconscious man on the hospital bed, and a sneer overflowed from his throat.
Speaking of which, he's really... At the banquet, he really admired this Lady Anna.
Akainu Sakasky turned out to be really for her.
After thinking about it, the yellow ape snorted, put his hands in his pants pockets, and slowly paced towards the hospital bed, even if he was not interested.
It's really curious~ What kind of bewitching charm does this lady have.
After taking a few steps forward, another rush of running approached, and he stopped, and turned his gaze to the closed door of the room.
After a few moments, the door slammed open, and the Science intern rushed in with a panicked expression, but she quickly let the pursuing guards stop it, and the yellow ape raised his hand to stop the chaos and motioned for someone to let him in.
When the young child rushed to the hospital bed, he dodged to intercept her, "She's not awake yet, but she's fine." ”
"Who else just now?" The young child raised his head and looked straight at him without fear, "Who is the person who just left?!" ”
Slightly stunned, the eyebrows were raised, the yellow ape narrowed his eyes, and for the first time looked at the little girl standing in front of him seriously, for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Are you born to see and hear?" ”
Sakaski's appearance and departure, in this building, except for the yellow ape, who is also a general, there should not be a third person who should know, and this intern under his command is strange.
No matter how sensitive he is, Cheng Dù must be a master of domineering knowledge and cultivation, and the interns who are unusually included in the Ministry of Science in advance have not even been exposed to the Navy Six Styles.
If it is domineering, it can operate without being noticed by a strong person of the level of the yellow ape, there is only one situation:
Born to see and hear.
It is only with the innate color of seeing and hearing that its owner will avoid the induction of other strong people, because for a very small number of people, the operation of seeing and hearing the color and breathing is as natural and there is no trace.
Department of Naval Sciences... Coincidentally got a veritable genius.
Quietly looking at the young child in front of him, the yellow ape took the time to glance at the person behind him who closed his eyes, and he didn't know how to feel for a while.
