Chapter Seventy-Nine: For the Last Hope

Luang Nam, Laos, 10 kilometers outside the city, Disaster Relief Joint Command.

"General Tuth, this disaster has developed into an international event, and I hope you will be clear about what is at stake." Jiang Weirong took a step forward and said angrily: "This is no longer a simple industrial chemical accident, but a disaster that threatens the lives of tens of thousands of people!" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't allow you to enter Luang Nam." The fat General Tath puffed his stomach and said, "You just need to provide medical assistance here. The situation in Luang Nam is too complicated for me to risk your lives. ”

Same words every time! Jiang Weirong smacked his lips and said, "It's okay not to allow us to enter Luangnan, at least give us the specific information about the leaked chemicals, it's always okay, right?" ”

General Tuth lit a cigarette and said, "This involves trade secrets, and I don't know." Even if I knew, the law would not allow me to hand it over to you. ”

The corners of Jiang Weirong's mouth twitched, revealing an expression of disbelief. "Trade secrets?"

"Yes." General Tath lit a cigarette and said, "We're going to have an internal meeting, so please leave if there's nothing else to do." ”

General Tuth clearly ordered the eviction of the guests. Jiang Weirong had no choice but to leave the makeshift tent. He looked at the sky in the distance, and the ominous snowflakes slowly fell, dyeing the city's year-round greenery with an inky color.

After learning of the leakage of Diegor's toxin mixing reagent in Luangnan, Jiang Weirong, as a member of the International Red Cross, rushed over with his team as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to lead his team into Luangnan to carry out rescue, he was stopped by General Tath's men and forcibly brought here.

"Jiang, can't we still enter the city?" Dr. Dick, with red hair, walked up to Jiang Weirong. He took off his stethoscope and said, "The wounded who were sent here had very strange symptoms, which were different from ordinary chemical poisoning. Even if they are all mild, it makes us feel tricky. If it weren't for the composition of the spilled chemicals, we wouldn't be able to do anything at all. ”

Dick and Jiang Weirong have been working together for more than ten years and have participated in dozens of rescue operations together internationally. Jiang Weirong absolutely trusted Dick's medical skills. Since Dick was troubled, it meant that this accident was anything but unusual!

Jiang Weirong had a gloomy face and walked back to his camp. As soon as he entered the tent, he slammed his fist on the table in anger and said, "That fat man of Tath! He even treats human life like a mustard! He didn't realize the seriousness of the accident at all! ”

"Captain, I think the reason why Tath is holding us back is not because he doesn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but because Luang Nam is tired." Nakamura Noji, a member of the team in charge of hypothetizing the communication line, said.

"What's going on?" Jiang Weirong knew that Nakamura Noji was not only an excellent communications engineer, but also an extremely good intelligence investigator, and he was extremely good at analyzing the truth of the matter through clues.

Nakamura said: "First, as soon as the leak occurred, Tath sent his troops to the vicinity of Luangnam, and blocked all roads in and out of the city, taking over the entire Luangnam as quickly as possible. ”

Second, the other rescue troops who arrived were stopped outside the city by him for various reasons. However, in the past 10 hours, his troops have brought out less than a thousandth of the total population of Luang Nam from the city, and have not handed over a single seriously wounded person to other rescue teams. ”

"Thirdly, there has been a serious disruption to the exchange of information between us and the city. This is the first time I've encountered a chemical leak that would affect communications. In my opinion, it may be artificial. ”

"!" Jiang Weirong slammed his fist on the table again, and the water glasses on the table were bounced up.

"Daeung, you're here."

Jiang Weirong looked back and saw the man who walked into the tent, and a smile appeared in his angry expression. "Old cat, you're here too?"

"You've been stopped out of the city by Tath too?" The stout man who walked in was named Xue Ding, nicknamed Old Cat, and was the peacekeeper sent by the Southwest Theater of the Chinese Knights, and he also often participated in various international rescue missions.

Seeing the old cat, Jiang Weirong was immediately relieved. He said, "Old cat, I think it's a bit of a trick. It just so happens that you brought someone here, so let's hurry up and get ready to see if we can force our way in. ”

Xue Ding frowned and said, "Da Rong, you calm down." Although we are a rescue force, we also represent the military forces. If there is a conflict with the people of Tath, it will be an international dispute. ”

"Damn, one by one, they're so timid!" Dick, who came out of the wounded tent, heard the conversation between the two and slammed the folder in his hand on the table.

Seeing the usually gentle Dick, who was so angry, Schröding was also stunned. He said: "Calm down, we can at least hurry up and treat the wounded who have been brought in." And we have good news. ”

"What's the good news?"

Schröding took out the computer from his backpack and said, "The medicine leaked from the chemical plant this time is a dangerous product that flowed out half a month ago, and Diegor toxin is mixed into a reagent. A private firm and consortium in the country have been tracking its whereabouts. Their research report was submitted to the Order as soon as possible. ”

"Diegor toxin? How can it be! This chronic toxin is only effective against Warcraft and has minimal effects on humans!! Dick exclaimed in disbelief, "You can't be mistaken, can you?" ”

Schröding said: "The mixing reagent will catalyze the magic energy, and in a short period of time, the concentration of magic energy in the air will be greatly increased, and the magic energy will be enough to condense into solid crystalline dust. ”

"You mean that black snowflakes are the crystallization of magic energy?"

"Yes. In an environment with a high concentration of magic energy, the body's functions will change, and Diegor's toxin will erode the human body. Schröding said, "I am here to share information with you." I'm sorry, but we haven't made it public because we want to prevent some people from having ulterior motives. At this point, it's not too late to hope. I'll send you a batch of antidotes later, but due to time, we haven't done clinical trials yet, so I don't know if we can handle it. ”

Jiang Weirong patted Schröding's shoulder and said, "Each has its own difficulties. You didn't do anything wrong, and I'm very grateful for sending the potion. ”

"I'm going to receive the pharmacy now and do a clinical trial!" Dick couldn't wait to rush out of the tent and head straight for Schröding's camp.

"Let's go their separate ways, I'll try to put pressure on Tath and see if I can send a team into Luang Nam City."

"Didi!" Just as Schröding was about to return to his camp, the walkie-talkie on his chest suddenly rang. Schröding glanced at the intelligent FM on the walkie-talkie and found that the frequency used by the other party was not the exclusive channel of his own team, but the public channel of the Chinese Knights.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Weirong asked.

"It's a common frequency used by the domestic military, but this is Laos, not domestic. It may have been a random encounter by someone in Luangnan City. We may be able to get some information. As he spoke, Schröding turned up the volume on the walkie-talkie. We are the Huaxia Rescue Force, unit number 65116, I am the chief officer Xue Ding, please speak. ”

After a sizzling of snowflakes wafting over the intercom, a young voice was heard. "It turned out to be an old cat. I'm Xiaoying Private Firm, Lu Qianfan. ”

"You've been tracking ......"

Lu Qianfan climbed up the tall building and hung the transmitter on his back on a high place. "Old Cat" Xue Ding was a highly famous officer in the original world. Lu Qianfan, who also served in the Southwest Theater, naturally heard about his participation in peacekeeping and rescue a few years ago. At this time, when he heard that the other side of the walkie-talkie was Xue Ding, Lu Qianfan felt like he had taken a reassuring pill, which made his anxious heart a lot more stable.

However, when Tang Jie walked up to the rooftop dejectedly, the light in Lu Qianfan's eyes gradually dimmed. He interrupted Schröding's words and said, "We are now in the center of Luangnan City, and I would like to inform you of a not-so-optimistic situation...... The concentration and composition of the leaked Diegol toxin mixing reagent differed from the samples we had previously obtained. ”

Lu Qianfan looked at the falling black dust, his eyes were as plain as water. He took the empty ampoule from Tang Jie's hand and let it slide from his palm to the ground.

Tang Jie said: "The molecular structure of Diegor's toxin is changed by a high concentration of magic energy and transformed into a potent toxin, which can erode the human body without the need for abnormal human functions. The antidote we developed with the Knights can only delay the symptoms, not cure them. ”

"Smack." The ampoule fell to the ground, making a cracking sound, like human life, fragile and fragile.

The moment they heard Lu Qianfan's report, Xue Ding and Jiang Weirong were stunned. Xue Ding took a deep breath and said, "Lu Qianfan, we were stopped outside the city by General Tasi, who was in charge of search and rescue on the Lao side, and we couldn't enter. If you may, please inform us of the situation, we suspect that General Tuth is involved in this accident. ”

Lu Qianfan showed a bitter smile. "Maybe it's a little involved...... But in any case, please do not go near the city. ”

"Why?"

Tang Jie took the walkie-talkie and said, "The concentration of magic energy in the air is still increasing, and it will soon reach a concentration that can be lethal without Diegor's toxin." And now Diegor's toxin, the poisoning mortality rate, is 100 percent. ”

The sound of snowflakes on the walkie-talkie is getting louder and louder, like the desperate black sand in the city, getting thicker and thicker. Lu Qianfan was constantly debugging the transmitter. He said: "If the concentration of magic energy is too high, the interference with the magic energy signal will become stronger and stronger, and we will soon lose contact. ”

"Then you ......"

"We are now in Luang Nam city, about 12 kilometers away from the Bolun chemical plant where the spill occurred." Lu Qianfan took back the walkie-talkie. His voice was flat, there was no despair, no hope. He looked at the sky, and a little light suddenly lit up in his deep eyes.

Tang Jie, Lu Qianfan, Zou Kun of Xiaoying Private Office, and Yun Jiu of Yunshen Consortium will next go to the Bolun Chemical Plant to investigate the cause of the accident and the ingredients of the spilled chemicals. I hope that you will do your best to stop the spread of the toxin and prevent the disaster from spreading. ”

Hearing Lu Qianfan's flat voice, Xue Ding and Jiang Weirong were silent. All the people in the tent were silent. Everyone understands that deciphering the composition of the new version of Diegol's toxin mixing reagent is the only way to defuse this catastrophe. Otherwise, once the wind blows, the toxin will spread again, and millions of innocent people will be killed, and they will still be helpless!

The four people on the other end of the walkie-talkie are the last hope in this disaster! They are in deep despair, but they have become the hope of the living.

Schröding swallowed his throat and said, "We will do everything we can to look forward to your return." ”

In the desperate city, Lu Qianfan looked at the countless corpses buried in the black dust, and said slowly: "We will not give up. ”

"Good luck to everyone."

"End of communication."

The sound of snowflakes on the walkie-talkie suddenly stopped, and only the sound of people's breathing remained in the tent. In the distant sky, the pitch-black crystal dust was still falling......

After a moment of silence, Schröding clenched his fists and said, "Da Rong, it's time to act." They also need hope. ”

"We still have work to do." In a word, plain and resolute. Xue Ding looked at his teammates, and Lu Qianfan looked at his friends behind him. Even though they are in two places, they are all in one voice.

There may be little hope, but they will never give up.

For the last hope.

"Let's go!"
