"Annihilation?" Qi Lin narrowed his eyes, he really didn't know this news, the organization had tightly sealed all the news related to Vault 444, even if he had just escaped from Vault 444, he had no right to know.

"Yes, the whole army has been wiped out, strictly speaking, except for you and your team who came back early in the morning to report the news, everyone who entered Vault 444 is already dead."

"Has the organization abandoned its plans to retake Vault 444? So how is the Edas consortium going to explain? ”

"That's not something we need to care about...... But, then again, since you're back from Vault 444, you probably know pretty much about the genetic collapse, right? ”

"I can only guess that the gene collapse is related to genetic drugs, and I don't know anything else." Qi Lin said that the other party was obviously testing himself, and in this case, he could neither tell all the guesses together, nor pretend not to know anything, which would be too fake - so he only said the most important factor: genetic medicine.

"That's right, you're smart, the organization hasn't revealed anything about this, but you've already guessed that the cause of the genetic collapse is the genetic drug, and for that reason, you're qualified to be my assistant." The executive grinned and pulled out a grin.

"I still have a question, though." Qi Lin said.

"Say, I won't hide what I can tell you." The executive appeared to be quite generous.

"If there was a problem with the genetic medicine, why wasn't it noticed by the organization before, but now it is like a plague on a large scale...... Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the time is tight and no clinical trials are conducted, then the injection of genetic drugs will also be carried out in batches, and the first batch of injected people will definitely be the first to have symptoms of gene collapse, which should cause the organization to be vigilant at that time, but at present, the situation is obviously not the case. ”

"The analysis makes a lot of sense...... So, do you remember the last meal you had before you set off on your mission? ”

"Something wrong with that meal?" Qi Lin "chuckled" in his heart, he had guessed that there might be a "trigger" before, so could that meal be the "trigger"?

"Yes, simply injecting a genetic agent does not cause the gene to collapse, it's like a bomb, if no one triggers its fuse, then it will always lie there quietly and never explode. However, if the person who injected the gene drug takes a special 'disrupting agent', the normal gene sequence will be instantly disturbed, and the symptoms of gene collapse will appear. ”

The executive paused, then continued, "Due to regulatory negligence, a batch of 'jammers' was added to the canned food, and this 'jammer' was the fuse of the bomb, resulting in the bomb being detonated at about the same time in everyone who ate the can. ”

"Who did it? Mastermind? ”

"The boss behind the scenes must be the mastermind, but this thing was done by humans...... In the current refuge, the forces of humanity have been faintly divided into two camps...... Gee...... It's a real headache when I think about it, but fortunately, I just need to take care of the affairs of the sixth district now. ”

"Someone took refuge in the mastermind?" Qi Lin was not surprised, after all, in any era and place, there will never be a shortage of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death...... For them, perhaps the virtual world built by the mastermind is the most perfect "utopia".

"It's not just people...... There are a lot of people. The executive officer looked at Qi Lin carefully again, "After talking so much, it's time to get down to business, since I'm my new assistant, let's start with simple work." ”

He snapped his fingers, and a cardboard box was immediately sent to Qi Lin's feet.

"What is this?"

"Overalls."

Qi Lin opened the cardboard box and saw that inside was a set of fully enclosed heat-insulating fireproof clothing, as well as a matching helmet and breathing apparatus.

"What am I going to do?" Qi Lin couldn't help frowning slightly, he really couldn't think of any job other than firefighters and workers in the steel mill that required such clothes......

"Dealing with corpses, there are now more than 80,000 corpses piled up in the entire Sixth District, and there is a steady stream of them coming in from various places, and the Sixth District can't 'digest' so many corpses, and these corpses can't be transported anywhere else...... It's a pity, but we had to dispose of these bodies in a very old way. ”

"Cremation?"

“BINGO！” The executive said with a smile.

In the shelter, corpses are also a resource—flesh, viscera, bones, nails, hair, etc., all of which are essentially proteins, which can be used as fertilizer for crops and feed for livestock after being recycled; In many shelters, there is a very cheap jerky for sale on the black market, and the shopkeeper will only tell you that it is just a new breed of pork, but in fact, what kind of meat it is, whether it is sold or bought, is actually tacitly known.

In general, more than 70 percent of the bodies are thrown into the decomposition tank in the recycling plant, about 10 percent of the bodies are on the butcher's board in the black market, and only about 20 percent of the bodies are cremated.

The crematorium in District 6 was obviously built not long ago, and unlike the crematorium in the old days, which had a separate "compartment", the treatment here was more extensive - Qi Lin only needed to throw heavy body bags into the pit with a diameter of nearly ten meters, and then pour a fuel similar to asphalt.

An equally large metal lid covers the entire crematorium, with two one-person pipes on top of the lid, one carrying the oxygen needed for combustion into the pit, and the other being responsible for expelling the exhaust gases out of the crematorium to prevent the internal air pressure from exploding.

Qi Lin pulled down the control gate hard, and the flames burst into flames, and the plastic body bag melted instantly almost as soon as it touched the fire, and the exposed corpses were swallowed by the flames at once-

There are a total of eight crematoriums like this, and each pit can incinerate nearly three hundred corpses per hour.

Qi Lin's main job is to use a shovel to shovel the ashes at the bottom of the pit into a sack after the incineration is completed—these are all high-quality flower fertilizers, but given the large amount of resources required to burn the corpses, only the wealthy can afford to use such things.

It's just that what makes Qi Lin a little unhappy is ...... I was obviously arranged to be an assistant to the executive, why was I thrown here directly by the executive officer who was not much older than me after chatting for a few minutes?

What does this mean exactly?
