In the first week of the second month of landing, the Inhuman Life Research Department arranged an excursion outside the protective shield for the last two ladies, Niu Niuer and Song Ai, and after that, the entire department steadily entered the normal operation mode.

Every week, there will be field trips. They draw up research plans, apply for approval, sometimes merge with field personnel from other departments to form teams, and sometimes apply for escort regiment soldiers to accompany them, bring machine assistants and hunter robots, and form independent teams. Li Bi, Yuan Tian and others, who often go out on field work, have not only traveled to the area near the highlands, but have also traveled farther away, where it is said to be very hot.

At the same time, the second phase of the Department of Research on Inhuman Organisms was completed. Everyone's office space became extremely spacious, and Ke Ideal and the others moved into the research area in the rear, but there were no living specimens stationed yet, and it seemed empty. It is said that the Ministry of Agriculture has samples in the test, and Ke Ideal and others have also been invited to participate in the joint research as relevant experts.

Minister Jin and Niu Niu'er are still sitting in the second main building, which is now surrounded by surrounding buildings, and it has become the administrative center of the entire department.

Scarlet Commander is the first to enter the portal. Every three days, in accordance with the safety regulations of the department, she will lead two hunter robots to start from the anti-dredging belt in front of her, drive the official car of the unit, and personally inspect the outer edge of the territory of the Inhuman Life Research Department. Every day, I just stay in the guard room and watch my colleagues fight.

She also has field arrangements, but the number of times is very rare, and the outing is only a short distance, with the investigation team in the department going to the periphery of a dead forest in the abyss valley under the cliff group in the west twice, Ke Li and others picked some dried fruits on the winter branches and came back to study, while she stood with her to look at the scenery and listen to the sound of cracking ice in the glacier.

Shang Tan'an's field work is not as frequent as at the beginning, and the field applications of various robots may have been investigated, but he still maintains the frequency of rotating field work once a week.

With everyone's step-by-step arrangement, the bridge at the entrance and exit of the protective shield began to become a very famous distribution point, not only there are no less than 100 field personnel entering and exiting every day, but also the families of these field personnel, who will find a way to wait there when they have time. Especially on the fixed rest day, if there are people working overtime and working outside, the bridge is simply full of family members who are looking forward to it, all sisters-in-law.

Speaking of which, there are too few recreational activities provided by the community.

The rumors first spread on a small scale, and by the sixteenth day of the third month of the Tamarind, Scarlet remembered very well that it was indeed the sixteenth day, and she had heard the same rumors from different sources. At noon, Mrs. Yin, her old neighbor who was training in Kaolachi and is now an assistant officer of the Manuscript Department of the Propaganda Department, had not had a chance to meet since she landed, so she suddenly dialed a video message to her: "Sister-in-law Shang, have you heard?" ”

"What?"

"Mr. Ge doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore."

Scarlet was stunned: "I don't really understand ......"

"Mr. Ge can't do it." Mrs. Yin on the projection screen widened her eyes and suppressed her voice, but obviously she was not very successful, and the breath in her throat was eagerly raised, and she was even a little uncontrollable, and she didn't wait for Scarlet to react, so she continued one after another, "It's Mr. Ge on the same floor as us in Kaolachi." I remember that their family lived next door to yours and my family lived next door to yours. It's that Mr. Ge, God, I can't believe this could happen to him. ”

"What's wrong with Mr. Ge?"

"Mr. Ge is no longer good, and he is now in the hospital." Mrs. Yin leaned forward unconsciously in the projection screen, as if to get closer, "I heard what others said. As soon as I heard Mr. Ge's name, I was afraid that it was not the same name and surname. But we hadn't heard of anyone with the same name and surname as anyone before the conscription group was fighting, and besides, the person who told me about it also lived in Mr. Ge's Huiyun community. I panicked in my heart, how could there be someone with the same name and surname who happened to live in the same community, so I tried to send a video message to Mrs. Ge, but who expected, it didn't work. I dialed twice and there was no signal. My heart is pounding, don't be a fool. Mrs. Shang, you say, will there be such a thing? We've only been here for a short time, and it's so safe everywhere. ”

She looked at Scarlet with hope, and Scarlet was so confused that she couldn't help asking, "Mr. Ge is in poor health and hospitalized?" Are you not adapted? ”

"No, it's not." Mrs. Yin shook her head violently, "It's said that it's going to die." She covered her mouth excitedly and muttered, "Sister-in-law Shang, you can't believe it, can you?" I knew it. When I communicated with Sister-in-law Gu earlier, Sister-in-law Gu didn't believe it at all. But she dialed the video of her sister-in-law, but she didn't get through. Sister-in-law Shang, you know that there is always some work communication between our Propaganda Department and the Municipal Center, and I inquired that Sister-in-law Ge has not been to work for several days. ”

She further lowered her voice, so low that she could barely hear clearly: "The people over there are also inquiring, it seems that Sister-in-law Ge suddenly didn't go to work, her boss in the direct department told her colleagues that day that Sister-in-law Ge's husband was in poor health and got sick at night, and Sister-in-law Ge asked for a day off to take care of her." But then Sister-in-law Ge never went, her boss was strange at first, but then she didn't mention it, and she didn't give any other explanation, and her colleagues were confused. ”

"Isn't Sister-in-law Gu's family living in Huiyun Community with the Ge family?" Mrs. Yin continued to cover her lips with her hands, "She can't contact Sister-in-law Ge, but she knows some people in the Ge family recently, and after inquiring, it is true." On the night of Mr. Ge's illness, Mrs. Ge was so panicked that she called her neighbors. ”

After receiving this video call, when she looked at the door, she automatically recalled Na Si Wenwen's neighbor, and during the lunch break, she asked Li Bi, who happened to stay in the unit and did not go out on field duty: "Brother Bi, have you ever gone out with someone from the Department of Environmental Safety before?" ”

She wanted to ask Li Bi if she had any contact with someone from the Department of Environmental Safety, but the look in Li Bi's eyes made her immediately feel very bad.

"Chief Yan, do you know about that incident too?"

Li Bi said that something did happen to the Ministry of Environmental Safety. At the beginning of the month, a joint expedition team went out, and when it went to the Rongye Plain west of the Shilin Heights, it seemed that it encountered some insect infestation, but there was nothing at the time, and now it is rumored that an environmental safety expert has a stress resistance reaction after close contact, so the security level of the Rongye Plain has recently been raised to the strictest state, and the team has also decreased.

Scarlet is the head of security of the Inhuman Research Department, and he has not received any additional items from the command on the department's code of conduct for hunting robots, such as how to deal with the pest, so he thinks about it himself, and the pest is not too high-level, and this matter is not serious. In this way, Mrs. Yin can't say it, and it may be that the scene of being sent to the hospital at the beginning of the illness was panicked and scary, and the word of mouth of the neighbors became more and more serious.

After returning home, she was concerned about this matter and asked Shang Tan'an: "Do you know about Mr. Ge Guanqing?" ”

"You...... Listen to whom? Shang Tan'an's nourishment was halfway to her, her hand froze in the air, and her eyes showed worry. The warm smile that he had just now was gone.

Shang Tan'an had heard about it two days earlier.
