Chapter 40: The Mist

No. 36 Community, Lower District of Thousand Sails City.

Due to its location at the bottom of the city, the fog did not melt until 10 o'clock in the morning, and the visibility was only about 5 meters.

In this environment, there are naturally no vehicles on the streets, and pedestrians are coming and going in the drizzle.

Due to the dense flow of people, the gap between the umbrellas is very small, and the slightest carelessness may collide with each other.

However, the noise was rarely heard, and most people just walked with their heads down, as if they were chasing something, and as if they were wandering aimlessly.

Whether it is hitting a person or being hit, it is only recovering its original trajectory as quickly as possible.

They don't have time to waste in such senseless places.

Even though they don't know what to do with their time......

Except for a few cities around Thousand Sails City, where the raw material production sites of the three major machinery groups in Thousand Sails City are still protected, the other cities will inevitably fall into a state of chaos after the federal government withdraws from this area, and spiritual pollution source monsters, bandits, thugs, and gang forces have become the specialties of those cities.

Rao is Zhu Jue, who has been staying in the super city, has learned a lot of information about this through the news.

The world outside the mega city is no longer what it used to be.

Under such a premise, in recent years, a large number of immigrants have been forced to give up their original lives and enter Qianfan City in search of a safe living environment.

In fact, some scholars refer to this situation as the re-emergence and evolution of the enclosure movement in modern times.

No matter how the times evolve.

Capital accumulation.

Always the most primitive blood and barbarism.

And on the edge of this crowd filled with "low pressure", some people still photograph it as some kind of negative example.

"In the future, if my child is going to buy it again, I will take him here to see it, and then tell him that if he is disobedient, let him go to school in this kind of ghost place!"

Someone stood at the entrance of the street, wearing beige protective clothing, holding a mobile phone in both hands, looking at the ghost-like scene in front of him, and the prompts in his mind rang one after another.

"If you detect that the air quality in your environment is below the standard value, please wear a purifier...... If the current field of view is detected, whether to turn on the data vision function......"

A hand wearing plastic gloves suddenly reached out from behind him and put it on his shoulder.

"Ahh......h

Trembling all over, the phone fell to the ground with his hands out of his hand.

"Hey, Han Zhengming, what the are you doing here, do you like filming so much, do you want me to introduce you to a strip club, they are short of actors!"

The middle-aged man with a beard slapped the young man on the back of the head, and said scoldingly,

"Come in with me, 032 confirms, the captain wants you to record. ”

"Senior, you almost scared me to death...... Why did you suddenly ask me to record, I just joined the company, isn't this your job before? ”

The two spoke in the same language, they came from the same community, and they had known each other for a long time, so Han Zhengming dared to speak like this.

"Where is so much, if you don't want to do it, get out!"

"I'm sorry senior, I'll go over now, loyalty!"

Hurriedly picked up the mobile phone on the ground, turned around and saluted a lame military salute, and bowed his head to keep up with the middle-aged man's footsteps.

Through the hazy mist, new figures continue to appear in the empty alleyway.

Squeezed into the crowd, glanced at the captain who was standing in the center, took out the listening stick from his waist pocket, turned his gaze to the "dear" in front of him, and squatted down with nausea.

Because the rain soaked in the stains all the year round, the blue and black floor tiles were lying at this time an old man who was swollen, his limbs were paralyzed as if they had been sucked out of bones, his dull skin was covered with black spots, half of his face was soaked in the pool, and his eyes were wide open with a layer of gray, and there was no light, and he was still staring at the people with hairs in his heart.

A strange sense of horror suddenly appeared in Han Zhengming's mind.

Raising his hand to open the mental protection device to stabilize his mental state, he tugged at the collar of the protective suit, trying to make his neck easier, but he obviously forgot about his surroundings.

The cold rain and the same low-temperature mist rushed into the loose neckline in no particular order, making him subconsciously shiver and quickly pull the zipper back up.

"No. 032, the time of death, at about 3 a.m. on November 15, the infected area is 57%, no ulcerated wounds have been found, the possibility of homicide has been ruled out, and it is preliminarily determined to be a virus ......"

recorded the data detected by the colleagues on the side of the corpse word for word, although he was usually a little out of tune, Han Zaimin was quite good in terms of professional technology.

"As soon as the records were completed, the bodies were put into body bags and transported back to the quarantine center, and we didn't have time to waste here. ”

The captain waved his hand and looked impatiently at the dirty environment around him, even though the protective suit had blocked the stench from the outside world, and the scattered rotting garbage and the black and yellow sludge that could be seen everywhere on the ground made him uncomfortable.

At this point in the day, he should have sat behind his desk, sipping the latest specialty coffee, enjoying the almond cookies handmade by his subordinates, and occasionally chatting with his evening companion on a personal topic.

"I'm dealing with people with infectious diseases, please get out of here. ”

There was a sound coming from outside the alleyway, and someone happened to be passing by and was stopped by a patrol member.

Because each medical team dispatched by the epidemic prevention center is carrying out a special mission, there are also three Qianfan City garrison soldiers who are responsible for maintaining order on the spot.

The Qianfan City Garrison Department is different from the Qianfan City Patrol Department, the latter is responsible for the content of urban patrols, while the former is responsible for the whole city...... Oh, and it should be said that the whole of Lower Town is safe.

As for Uptown, that's not what they're qualified to do.

"Hey, don't you understand, people with infectious diseases are being dealt with here, and if you don't have any precautions, you may be infected if you walk in!"

The voice was raised twice, and the man seemed to be about to break in.

"A pariah is a pariah. ”

The captain put his hands on his chest, thinking about the unknown guy outside, and he would definitely be able to hear his screams next.

Puff~

I didn't hear the screams, but the sound of a blade entering the flesh suddenly sounded.

Everyone who was handling the corpse stopped moving, some people, including Han Jae-myung, looked at the location where the voice came from, while others peeked at the captain's expression and stopped talking.

"Do your own thing, don't be disturbed by the outside world, the patrol people are just carrying out the necessary measures, all for the sake of the safety of the people. ”

Although he himself was a little surprised that the patrol man would stab someone without saying a word, it was only surprised.

Kill is killed, nothing more than one more piece of flesh and blood in this garbage-like community.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, an arm that flew out of the fog drew everyone's attention.

To prevent the other party from coming in, you have to use such a cruel method as chopping off your hands?

"Black combat uniform, armband, this seems to be the ...... of the garrison department"

Someone was next to that arm, subconsciously looking at it twice, and half of the words stopped abruptly.

There was a deathly silence throughout the alleyway.

The surrounding fog starts from this moment.

Somehow, it seems to be much richer.

"Captain Zach, can you hear what's going on outside?"

"Run, run...... Gollum~"

The roar coming from the announcement channel and the strange sounds that followed that were obviously from other beings caused some kind of inexplicable emotion to begin to appear on everyone's faces, and several people who were already leaning on another alleyway entrance had gradually retreated.

"Where is our airship?"

After a few seconds of silence, the captain suddenly looked at his deputy and asked in a muffled voice.

In the mist, there was a screeching sound of sharp objects scraping against masonry.

"It's at the stop on the outside of road 131. ”

The deputy's speed of speech was noticeably several times faster than usual, and the direction of his finger was where the sound of the argument had just come from.

Normally, during the operation, the airboat should hover in mid-air and wait for the operation to complete and arrive, but the poor traffic lines in the community of 36 and the current fog make the airboat unapproachable, so it can only stop at a nearby stop.

"Notify the patrol team in Community 36 immediately that we need support and have them send someone over immediately...... Retreat, get out, get into the main street first!"

As he moved towards the entrance of another alleyway, he asked his men to follow him, and although he didn't quite understand what was happening, the screams in the communication undoubtedly gave a clear signal.

Everyone tacitly did not ask whether to dispose of the corpse, and even the equipment that had just been placed at the scene was not sorted out, and the pace was surprisingly consistent.

It's a good time to meet the crowd.

In a dense crowd, a possible murderer may choose to retreat.

Boom~

The captain who retreated at the first time walked at the front, and his panicked footsteps caused him to crash into the empty bottle box placed on the side of the alleyway, making a noise.

"Hiss~ Come and help me. ”

The throbbing pain from his toes made him subconsciously stop, and he pressed one hand against the wall, motioning for the deputy next to him to help him.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

An unfamiliar, dry voice sounded overhead.

The captain didn't look up, he vaguely knew something, and the pressure that made the back of his head tingle make him just walk forward in silence.

......

"I found out on the USB flash drive that the Ouroboros organization is trying to make evolutionary flesh into some kind of virus for extensive human experimentation, and the outward appearance of the infected person happens to be exactly the same as the state of the special patient we met before!"

In the clinic, Zhu Jue called Suzi to the second floor, and the latter called out some of the information and said,

"I was just about to tell you that the direction of our next investigation should be this epidemic and the bone tree case with a similar situation, I checked the records of previous years when you were talking, and the epidemic prevention center has never recruited people from private clinics on Halloween's Day, so this operation is likely to be to prevent this special epidemic. ”

"So this disguised identity that we use to hide our identities is convenient for us...... Go get ready, I'll have to contact Rona in the federal government to see if there's any inside information. ”

Since it involves follow-up clues, the priority must definitely be raised, and it is impossible for Zhu Jue to miss this opportunity.
