Chapter 53: Life and Death
What is this? Get you back!?
Wasn't it just three days of comfort, so I was given such a task, and the time limit was just three days.
Isn't this a cheat, completing a thousand people in three days, I strongly ask to quit this farcical task.
Push people to a dead end.
"Are there any more detailed kill requirements?" I tried to ask in my mind.
"Remind the host that a thousand people are killed regardless of corpses or humans, as long as they are killed by the host himself."
Humans too? Am I a murderer, I have nothing to do to slaughter people, I have to start with the corpses.
"Do you kill with your own hands, if I use foreign objects, such as big explosions or something, it doesn't count?"
"Remind the host that as long as it is determined by the system to kill the calculated gene value, it will be counted as the host's own killing."
That's good, but where to replicate an oil depot explosion, this kind of thing is unavoidable.
If I was asked to cut the corpse with my hands, well, I guess I'd be exhausted, and I hadn't cut enough for a thousand.
And there are too many dangers in this, as long as there are two or three third-level corpses, I will have to be cold.
If you look at it this way, it's easier to kill someone, but I don't think I'm so mad yet, I can't watch myself be wiped out unless I have to.
When that happens, you can't blame me for self-preservation.
But what really made me frown was not this task, but the system actually released a second random task for the first time.
This is the second time in a row that I have released a mission since activating it, and the content of the mission has made me even more uneasy.
"Remind the host that a second random task is being generated, please check it out."
Random Mission: [Life and Death]
Reward: 2000 Genes and an increased body application ability
Consequences of mission failure: None
Mission Description: The risk of an imminent or already occurring security crisis in the gathering area is requested to carefully observe and find out the problem, otherwise the largest disaster will occur in the isolated gathering area.
Note: The task is completed as long as the host finds the source of risk.
I watched the four words of life and death fall into silence, and Huo Bing shouted me several times on the side, but I couldn't hear clearly.
What is this task? Everything is unknown, not even a goal.
Isn't it nonsense to know that there is a problem in the gathering area, and that it is about to happen or has already happened!
It can be said that the width of this task has been extended infinitely, because I have no way of knowing whether this thing was born or not, and whether it will have something to do with decoy bombs?
I came back to my senses and looked at Huo Bing seriously and said, "Is there still a follow-up on the matter of the last decoy bomb?" ”
Huo Bing nodded slowly: "Follow it, but I haven't found any clues." ”
The biggest disaster, the source of risk? What is the biggest disaster, if the people in the entire gathering area are mutated, is it the biggest?
Does the source of risk mean the source of infection?
So can I understand that someone in the gathering area has brought in the virus?
"Shen Dong!"
"Brother Cao, what's the matter?"
I looked at the two of them seriously and said, "Come with me to see Huo Tian now." ”
Walk halfway.
"By the way, there are scavengers outside the gathering area, who is responsible for the internal protection force?" I walked to the front with anxious steps and asked casually.
Huo Bing immediately responded: "It's my father, and the internal defense team he is personally responsible for is about fifty people. Brother Cao, what's wrong? ”
Even Shen Dong looked at me suspiciously, but unfortunately he had an injury to his thigh, and his steps couldn't be too big, otherwise it would be easy to pull lightly, and he could only limp behind.
I stopped, looked back at the two people who didn't know why, and said heavily: "There may be something wrong in the gathering area, it is a matter of life and death for everyone, and we must hurry up and discuss with Huo Tian." ”
"Something went wrong? Brother Cao, how do you know? ”
"Don't ask, I don't know if I ask, intuition, anyway, I'm not alarmist, let's go."
A moment later.
I, Huo Bing, and Shen Dong are in the hall of room 01, which is usually the living room of the president.
At work, it is a high-level backbone conference room.
Huo Tian furrowed his brows, and there were still some doubts on his worried face, "Brother Cao, it's not that I don't trust you, the key is why you said this for no reason." ”
I told Huo Tian about the monstrous hidden dangers in the gathering area, and the old fox was also a little unconvinced, "Brother Huo, do you say that I have no reason to harm you?" ”
Huo Tian shook his head without thinking about it, "Impossible, if you want to say that this kid Shen Dong may harm me, I will still think about it, but Brother Cao will never harm me." ”
"Oh? Why? I suddenly laughed, this old fox's flowery intestines are really special, it's really a ghost talking nonsense next to him, and the ghost can't tell what he wants when he leaves.
"This is not simple, just say that you protected Xiaoice and saved her many times, brought a large number of arms to my gathering area, and also promoted the reconciliation between me and Shen Dong, my brother really can't think of any reason for my brother to harm me." Huo Tian spread his hands helplessly.
Hearing him say that, I think it makes sense.
"In that case, then you should believe me in this matter, and be a little more protected, and take the opportunity to check the inside of the gathering area." I spoke again.
In the end, Huo Tian had to say that this matter was finally decided.
And it is clearly stated in the mission, as long as the source is clear, it must be more difficult for me to rely on myself, and it is estimated that I will not be able to find out the reason for the catastrophe, and I still have to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized.
The solitary gathering area is a large bomb shelter, and the internal space is definitely not too small, at least much larger than the inside of the arsenal in ZM City.
The most important thing is that I don't have the time to check them one by one.
The trigger event of a thousand people in three days was enough for me to have a headache.
Huo Tian finally seemed to have made up his mind, and shouted to the guards at the door: "Let the directors of all departments come to see me, and say that an emergency meeting will be held, and all of them will be available within five minutes." ”
After a few minutes, several more people came in one after another.
They are all the top management of the gathering area, electricity, water, ventilation, personnel, materials and so on.
"Let's do it first, after going back, we will immediately investigate it, it is related to the safety of everyone in the gathering area, and we can't be ambiguous! Find out what you are responsible for! Huo Tian's voice was extremely stern, and after a group of executives responded, they hurriedly left the inspection.
"Also, the personnel will be investigated by the waste pickers and internal guards, and no one will be missed, and all employees will be tested for traces of infection."
Shen Dong nodded yes, and when I was about to leave, I spoke again: "There is also the matter of the decoy bomb a few days ago, it is very likely that outsiders are doing some tricks, and this line must also be thoroughly investigated, so we can't lose the other side because of this." ”
After Shen Dong also left, only me and the Huo family's father and daughter were left in the room.
Huo Tian said with some unease: "The ordinary survivors in the gathering area have hardly gone out, and the ones who have the most contact with the outside world should be the scavengers......
I thought of the journal entries in the arsenal and said softly: "Ventilation vents and sewage outlets in the district, etc., all places that can be connected to the outside world are hidden dangers. ”
Huo Tian sighed and said, "I know." ”
