Chapter 47: Spiral-01
Zhongjing High-level Court.
The five people who held the highest power in Zhongjing sat together again, but this time, on the rostrum of the Great Hall, and under the stage, there were 63 deputies.
This is the second time since the disaster broke out that such a large-scale meeting has been held.
There was no one to speak in the entire hall, and there was an oppressive atmosphere.
After a long time, Wei Lao was the first to speak, and his voice came out of the microphone, looking a little tired.
He looked at the yellow finch standing beside him with his hands down, and said, "Let's start." ”
Huang Que nodded, and let out a long sigh: "The number of participants this time should be sixty-nine, but it is sixty-nine, which is in line with the number of people specified in the meeting. ”
Zhou Guozheng and Ouyang glanced at each other, and there was a trace of doubt in each other's expressions, obviously not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the Yellow Bird Gourd.
The delegates in the audience also exchanged their heads and ears.
Wei Lao didn't speak, arched the chair back slightly, and then slowly stood up, his hands hanging at his sides, and there was no expression on his face.
Seeing that Wei Lao stood up, the other four permanent and off-stage representatives also stood up, and the voices in the audience gradually became quieter.
The yellow finch took off his military hat and held it in the crook of his elbow, holding a thin stack of paper in his other hand.
He held up the stack of papers, waited for a moment, and read it out:
"On the evening of January 20, 2020, the Central South Theater was attacked, and the special operations team led by Sun Li, the former head of the Central North Special Operations Group, assisted the Central South and Middle East Theaters in fighting, and was attacked on the way to rescue the affected people, in order to safely transport the affected people......"
Thinking of this, Huang Que paused, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, and then said:
"Team leader Sun Li led thirteen comrades including Liu Yun, Wang Hu, and Li Deming to block the tide of corpses," he paused again-
"Tragic death. ”
Wow......
Hearing this, the audience was in an uproar.
The special operations group has never been a secret, and the people in the audience naturally know the prestige of the four major action groups, as the elites selected by each unit, the four groups in the southeast and northwest have made great contributions in the more than a month since the outbreak of the disaster, and have cooperated with the garrison to rescue countless people, and even the decision of the High Court awarded the leaders of the four action groups the 'sharp blade' medal in recognition of the great role they played in the disaster, and Sun Li was privately praised as the 'head of the blade' because of the heavy responsibility of guarding Zhongjing.
And now, the head of the four 'sharp blades' has been unexpectedly sacrificed, which adds to the gloom of the current situation in the country, which is not very optimistic.
Zhou Guozheng also looked at Ouyang with a shocked expression.
Although Ouyang also had a look of surprise on his face, he was more calm, she didn't have much communication with Sun Li, at this moment she actually wanted to know what Wei Lao's attitude was to this matter, Sun Li's sudden death undoubtedly disrupted Wei Lao's plan.
She frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Guozheng, and shook her head lightly to show that she didn't know anything about it.
I saw that Wei Lao's face sank like water, he raised his hand and pressed it slightly, and suddenly, the entire hall returned to silence again.
Huang Que opened his mouth again to read: "After review, Sun Li and other thirteen comrades meet the "National Martyrs Assessment Standards (Draft)", in order to comfort the heroes and motivate the team, the State High Court assessed Sun Li and other thirteen comrades as martyrs, posthumously recognized first-class merits, and the participants are invited to take off their hats and pay silent tribute. ”
The delegates in the audience did not speak again, and all bowed their heads in silence.
Ouyang was no exception, but her mind was not on silent mourning, but her mind was racing rapidly, thinking about the possibility of Wei Lao's next plan.
She secretly glanced at the yellow finch, and suddenly thought of the second possibility-
Sun Li has always been upright, and he strongly opposes the use of enhanced nuclear modification of the human body, and even bluntly said that this is simply an inhumane human experiment.
Thinking of Sun Li's attitude, Ouyang turned his gaze and glanced at Wei Lao again, and couldn't help but wonder if Sun Li's death was caused by accident.
You must know that if Huang Que is promoted to the team leader now, Huang Que will definitely be grateful to Wei Lao, after all, although there is only a word difference between the main and deputy leaders, it is a millimeter and a thousand miles.
"Silence is over,"
Huang Que's words interrupted Ouyang's train of thought.
With a slight noise, the five people on the stage and the representatives in the audience sat down again.
"Now for the second agenda of the conference" Huang Que put Sun Li's posthumous recognition document behind and said: "Vote on Comrade Huang Yiming's appointment as the head of the National Special Action Group (Central and North District)." ”
Sure enough, it came.
Ouyang sighed secretly, she knew that Huang Que's real name was Huang Yiming, and she looked at Zhou Guozheng with a somewhat complicated expression.
And Zhou Guozheng looked at her a little blankly.
Ouyang's body didn't move, but his eyes kept glancing at the yellow finch, signaling that Zhou Guozheng and Huang Yiming were the yellow finch.
Zhou Guozheng received Ouyang's eyes and nodded lightly.
Then, Huang Que read out his resume.
Ouyang didn't have the heart to listen to this, thinking in his head.
The two items read out by Huang Que, not to mention the deputies below, and even the four permanent members of the high-level court present on the stage knew nothing, and the so-called 'high-level yuan' decision was actually made by Wei Lao himself.
It is obvious that Wei Lao is already in action, and after blocking the news of Sun Li's death, he quickly chose to convene a conference, and when appointing the next leader of the North Central Action Group, he did not mention any other candidates except Huang Que, which is obviously a hint, oh no, it has been made clear that the representatives agree to Huang Que's succession.
As one of the permanent members of the High Court, Ouyang has the right to veto, but she is considering whether she should veto it at this time.
Ouyang thought here, and Huang Que over there had already finished reading it.
"Let's vote by show of hands," Huang Que put down his hand and said, "If you agree with Comrade Huang Yiming to be the leader of the National Special Operations Group (Central and North District), please raise your hand." ”
The delegates in the audience raised their hands.
Tai Zhou Guozheng turned his head to look at Ouyang, he could see that he was a little nervous, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his head.
Ouyang pursed her lips and thought for a while, and after making a decision, she finally glanced at Zhou Guozheng and raised her hand.
Good steel should be used on the cutting edge.
Zhou Guozheng understood and also raised his hand.
"Sixty-three delegates were present, of whom fifty-eight agreed and five abstained, and five members of the High Court of Justice, four agreed and one abstained. After counting the numbers, Huang Que opened his mouth and announced: "If the conditions for approval are met, the appointment will be approved." ”
The audience applauded.
But there was no joy or anger on Huang Que's face, after all, people who can go to this position have become commonplace to hide their emotions.
The resident five abstained, and one person abstained, obviously Wei Lao.
Ouyang shook his head in his heart - Wei Lao obviously didn't want to make a false situation that was unanimously approved, so he deliberately chose to abstain.
Politics is like drinking tea, you can't pour too much in a cup, otherwise you will burn your hands, and you can't pour too little, otherwise you won't drink enough.
Politics is the most important 'degree', and only when you have a ruler in your heart can you protect yourself in a political career that is walking on thin ice.
Obviously, Wei Lao was very satisfied with this result, nodded slightly, and motioned for Huang Que to continue reading out the next agenda.
"Now for the third agenda of the conference," Huang Que looked at Wei Lao, and then turned his head to look at the delegates below: "Consider the 'Supreme Spiral' plan." ”
Hearing this, Ouyang narrowed his eyes.
As she expected, the fundamental agenda of the conference was on the final topic.
The people below whispered, apparently not knowing what the so-called 'Supreme Spiral' project was.
I saw Huang Que waving his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be calm: "Let me introduce this plan to you." ”
What does he introduce?
Ouyang was stunned.
She originally thought that this plan should be introduced by its proposer, Wei Ningyu, the daughter of Wei Lao.
Seeing that there was no more sound in the audience, Huang Que said: "The 'Supreme Spiral' plan was proposed by Dr. Wei Ningyu of the School of Genetic Engineering of the Zhongjing Academy of Sciences, which aims to use the companion products of the C-10 super fungus to suppress zombies, prevent the further expansion of the corpse tide area, and also hope to cure fungal infections through further research." ”
Huang Que's words undoubtedly gave the delegates in the audience a shot in the arm, you must know that now the zombie threat is gradually expanding, not only the whole country, but the whole world is struggling on the verge of collapse, if it is really as Huang Que said, this research plan can effectively control the spread of zombies, and there is hope to cure the infection, it is undoubtedly a life-saving explosion news.
"This," Huang Que said, taking out a pure white reagent from his pocket, about twenty centimeters long, a bit like an insulin syringe: "It's the Spiral-01 reagent, Dr. Wei has proved that it can inhibit the reproduction of fungi in the body of infected patients from the root through tests on different experimental organisms, and effectively protect the brain and central nervous system of living organisms." ”
The people in the audience seemed to be ignited with hope, and they all raised their heads and waited for Huang Que to continue.
"And this injection can enhance the physique of the creature to a certain extent, so that the physique of the creature can be enhanced, and even surpass the limit of the creature itself. Huang Que continued holding the reagent.
"To be specific," Wei Lao said suddenly.
Huang Que stiffened slightly, he coughed a little, looking a little cramped, but immediately readjusted his state, and said with a slight groan: "If ordinary people and loss are compared to mice and cats, then Spiral-01 can make mice no longer afraid of cats, and may even turn cats into predators." ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and projected the video image of the mobile phone onto the screen next to him, and at the same time dimmed the lights in the venue to ensure that everyone in the meeting could see the experimental video-
In the video, a mouse is shown cowering in a corner of a transparent test box, and then the lid of the box is opened, and a pair of white-gloved hands reach in, inject Spiral-01 into the mouse's body, and close the lid.
Immediately afterwards, the mouse in the box began to tremble, and after a while, he lay in the corner with straight eyes and did not move.
The audience was noisy for a while, and all kinds of doubts came one after another, wondering if Huang Que had made a mistake with the experimental video, and the little mouse was obviously dead.
But they soon found out that they were wrong.
I saw that the video suddenly fast-forwarded, compared to the electronic watch on the side of the box, everyone saw that after about half an hour, the mouse's paws suddenly trembled slightly, and then the whole body woke up.
Instead of cowering in the corner of the box as he had done at the beginning, the reawakened mouse began to swagger around the chamber.
Immediately afterwards, a flower cat was stuffed in, apparently the kind of night cat in the countryside that could catch mice.
I saw that the wild cat spotted the mouse for the first time, and bowed up and pounced.
An astonishing scene appeared.
When the mouse saw the wild cat, he did not run away in a hurry like an ordinary mouse, but at the same time showed his sharp teeth and pounced on the wild cat!
The footage here is highly pasted, but the scarlet that fills the screen can still make out the flesh and blood in the box at that time.
Then the video fast-forwards again.
When the speed of the picture returned to normal again, people found that the wild cat was lying motionless in the box, although the wound was mosaic, but it is not difficult to see from the bright red blood and pinches of cat hair on the ground in the box that the cat has obviously been bitten alive by the guinea pig.
Silence returned to the chest, except for the mouse, which arched and tore at the viccat's neck.
That's the end of the video.
The lights in the field turned on again, and the yellow finch spoke: " After 72 hours of continuous observation and testing, the subject far exceeded the ability of the control in terms of reaction speed and strength, and we thought that it might have mutated, but to our surprise, the subject's brain waves were in the normal range from beginning to end, and all biological reactions were normal, which means that the fungus did not erode his brain and center, it was still a mouse, but it became a mouse that was no longer afraid of cats. ”
Seeing that the people in the audience were discussing, excited and worried, Huang Que spoke again:
"We, humans, are no longer at the top of the food chain. The zombies have stepped onto the stage and become the new food chain overlord, and the role of Spiral-01 is to allow us to revert the food chain, destroy the zombies, regain our lost resources, save our children, and regain our freedom. ”
