Chapter 01 - The Crisis of Experimentation
In 2076, human beings will still inhabit the earth, and due to the increasing number of human beings, the earth's ecological environment will continue to deteriorate, and resources will be in danger. Some genetically perfect humans with super high IQ have proposed a plan to optimize human beings - "Angel Wings", which selects genetically perfect human races to reproduce offspring and slaughter genetically disabled human races, so as to reduce the number of human beings on the earth, leave elite human beings, and restore the earth's ecological environment.
This theory was put forward among the upper echelons of the earth, and was opposed by most of the higher-ups, but there were also some fanatical supporters, secretly forming organizations, active in the shadows of various places, and carrying out "angel wings" activities in a small area.
The people "purged" by the organization are all people who bear the financial burden of various countries, so the high-level leaders of various countries have always adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the behavior of the organization, and have not strongly cracked down. After more than 10 years of operation, the organization has slowly grown stronger, infiltrating various fields, and implementing the "Angel Wings" program through various means.
As the organization grows stronger, so does the "cleansing" method, which threatens even normal humanity. Therefore, in recent years, various countries have begun to investigate and crack down on the organization, and contradictions and conflicts have continued to occur.
......
The virus experiment was carried out in a relatively closed mountain village. The virus had been handed over to the experimenters and had been dispersed in the mountain village 48 hours earlier.
Tan Xi expects to leave 24 hours after the trip, when the weather will match the next heavy snowfall. When the snow and ice melt, the virus is cleared.
The helicopter stopped at the top of the mountain, Tan Xi put on an isolation gown, and came to the mountain village to observe the speed of the infected person's illness and complications.
The virus seems to be spreading faster than expected, and by the time Tan Xi arrived, the entire small mountain village had been infected. Some of the first infected people have died, and only some young adults are still desperately struggling.
On the hillside not far away, an AWM was hiding in the shadows, and the killer who controlled the gun had already aimed at Tan Xi's heart from afar, waiting for the best time to shoot.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind the killer, and the killer turned back vigilantly. The person who came gently squatted next to the killer and whispered, "The boss said, do it look like an accident." β
"I'm afraid that those people in the village won't be able to complete the task, just in case." The killer said with a serious face.
"The mission failed, and there will be a chance next time. If you shoot like this, you will expose the boss. The person who came looked at the killer and said in a stern tone.
The killer showed an indifferent expression, put away his gun, and left.
The person who came took out his camera, took a few photos of Tan Xi and the others from a distance, and left.
In Yamashita Village, when the villagers saw Tan Xi and others appear, dozens of infected people gathered over and begged for treatment or to take them away.
Tan Xi asked them about their symptoms and the time of onset with a blank face, and took their blood samples back to continue the study.
The infected began to be very cooperative, and became desperate and angry when they realized that the person who had come was not trying to treat them.
Anger spread through the crowd.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "They're not trying to treat us, they're experimenting on us." β
Tan Xi was startled and looked at the crowd. γ
Someone else shouted, "Perish with them." β
Dozens of desperate and angry people began to flock to Tan Xi's side.
The captain of the bodyguard, Ah Sheng, quickly drew his pistol and fired a shot into the sky. The bodyguards around him also drew their pistols and entered a state of combat readiness.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, the temperature plummeted, and the sky actually fell with snowflakes.
The crowd was stunned, looking up at the snowflakes that shouldn't have appeared in this season, and froze in place.
Tan Xi took the opportunity to take the sample box and prepare to evacuate.
"Ah Sheng, the time is not right, something is wrong, evacuate immediately." Tan Xi said with a frown.
Ah Sheng shouted in a low voice, "Withdraw." β
Someone in the crowd shouted again: "We can't let them go, and they will all die." β
The crowd was completely frantic and poured towards Tan Xi and the others from all sides.
Ah Sheng pulled Tan Xi to protect him, and the bodyguards around him also shot at the crowd, but the crowd was large and too crazy.
Among the bodyguards brought by Tan Xi, several of them have been torn in protective clothing.
Suddenly, a pistol in the crowd was pointed at Tan Xi. Ah Sheng quickly pounced on Tan Xi, and the bullet grazed Tan Xi's arm, shooting another bodyguard who rushed to cover Tan Xi's side.
Killed at the time.
The medicine box in Tan Xi's hand also fell when he fell, and samples and medicines were scattered everywhere.
Ah Sheng pulled Tan Xi into his arms and shouted to the bodyguards around him: "Kill the one with the gun first." β
Although the bodyguards were attacked, they were well-trained and did not panic, covering each other and quickly killing the gunmen. It's just that the crazy crowd around is still attacking in various forms.
Originally, he came from an observation experiment, but Tan Xi didn't bring too many bodyguards, and he didn't let the accompanying bodyguards bring too many weapons.
Ah Sheng and the others had run out of bullets, so they could only use materials on the spot and fight in close combat. His protective suit and face shield had been torn during the battle.
Tan Xi took advantage of the chaos to crawl to the scattered medicine box, looking for the complete injection, she knew that she and Ah Sheng and others were inevitably infected with the virus.
The snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger, and the goose feathers are overwhelming.
At this moment, another gunshot rang out in the crowd.
Ah Sheng was startled, pulled Tan Xi over, shouted to the remaining bodyguards: "Hide" and then pulled Tan Xi to a nearby private house.
After Ah Sheng briefly inspected the security in the house, he asked Tan Xi to hide in a corner.
Gunfire is getting closer and closer outdoorsγγγγγγ
Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi, who was pale, and said, "Miss, it's safe here for the time being, don't come out no matter what happens outside." I went out and led them away. β
"Ah Sheng, you must come back to me." Tan Xi looked at Ah Sheng, his eyes were firm and fearless.
Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi and was stunned for a second, didn't answer, used the headset to contact his companion, and turned around and went out.
Heavy snow continues to fall, and the temperature keeps dropping. Just when Tan Xi felt that he was about to freeze, there was a sound of pushing the door at the door, and then Ah Sheng's voice sounded, "Miss." β
Tan Xi got up and rushed to the door, Ah Sheng's protective clothing was long gone, and his body was covered with blood, and he couldn't tell where he was injured.
"Miss, the threat has been cleared. But with the current weather conditions, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a while. β
"Ah Sheng, you're hurt."
"It's just a skin trauma, it's fine. Miss, there is no signal on the mobile phone here, this weather... β
"It's all man-made, and it should be over in 24 hours. However, looking at the current situation, it is not necessarily, they want me to die here. Tan Xi said calmly.
"24 hours." Ah Sheng muttered, thinking about it and began to search the room.
Ah Sheng asked Tan Xi to sit in the corner of the bed in the room, and then found all the warm clothes and quilts in the room, and surrounded Tan Xi. Violently dismantled the wooden tables and chairs in the house, and lit a fire next to the bed.
Tan Xi looked at Ah Sheng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with only a half-sleeved T-shirt on his body, pulled open a quilt on his body and handed it to Ah Sheng, but Ah Sheng covered it back on Tan Xi.
"Are there any of our people alive?" Tan Xi looked at the fire and asked.
Ah Sheng shook his head.
Tan Xi was silent for a while: "I'm sorry." β
"Miss doesn't have to blame herself, it's not your fault. It was I who did not anticipate the severity of the situation and did not plan well enough. Both personnel and weapons were poorly prepared. β
"It's not your fault, it's never happened like this before. The timing of the weather is also wrong, and someone did it on purpose. Tan Xi said in a cold tone.
"The people in the organization of this operation know best, does Miss have enemies in the organization?"
"It's just that the philosophy is different, it's that I'm too kind." Tan Xi hooked the corners of his mouth contemptuously.
Ah Sheng looked at it and felt cold all over, and couldn't help but turn his head and cough.
Tan Xi looked at Ah Sheng with a sharp gaze: "Ah Sheng, you are infected with the virus." β
Ah Sheng looked at the flames and replied slowly, "I'm afraid it is." Don't worry, Miss, even if you are infected with the virus, I will escort you out of here. β
Tan Xi took Ah Sheng's hand and silently memorized the number of heartbeats in the most primitive way. "I'm afraid that when you were in the chaos just now, you were already infected. The virus should breathe directly into the lungs, the skin doesn't spread so quickly, and after a while, you will have difficulty breathing. β
Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi, his eyes were still calm: "If I die, Miss will wait here and don't leave." Mr. Fu will come to him. β
Tan Xi smiled: "Won't you take me away?" β
"This time... Fear... Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"I expected that there would be a day like this." Ah Sheng smiled bitterly.
"Then why don't you follow Han Yan, you can leave alone after killing people, there is no drag."
"I want to protect ... Miss. Ah Sheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Tan Xi.
Tan Xi sat down next to Ah Sheng, took out a syringe from his arms, pulled Ah Sheng's arm, and prepared to inject.
"Miss, this is..."
"It can cure the virus in your body." Tan Xi paused, and then said, "I remember you said that you must take me away." β
Ah Sheng jerked back his arm and said, "Is there only one?" β
"I originally brought some, but they were all shattered in the chaos just now. I managed to find this one in perfect condition. What Tan Xi said was different from the previous indifference, looking at Ah Sheng with big eyes, slightly aggrieved. The expression is a cute that Ah Sheng has never seen.
"Miss, you should be infected too." Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi with deep eyes.
"Hmm," Tan Xi replied calmly, "I don't have long to live, and in comparison, I don't want to stay here alone." β
After Tan Xi finished speaking, he held down Ah Sheng's arm and injected the medicine into Ah Sheng's body.
"Miss... Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi and was stunned for a while and said, "How long is it until the onset of the illness?" β
"If the virus hadn't mutated, it would have been sick 24 hours later and then die in 24 hours, but according to my observation of the villagers' conditions just now, it seems to have accelerated and the virus has multiplied faster, maybe it won't take that long."
Ah Sheng frowned, "As soon as the snow stops, I'll take you away." β
"It's so cold, I'm afraid the helicopter won't be able to drive, right? I'm afraid the driver is also ... Tan Xi was helpless.
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll drive."
"Ah Sheng, do you know everything?" Tan Xi was curious.
"Can't cook."
Tan Xi smiled: "Ah Sheng, if we can go back alive, you can cook the noodles of that night for me again." I only tasted one bite last time, and I didn't have time to finish it. β
"Miss likes?"
"It's the taste of Brother Shi's cooking, I miss him so much." Tan Xi's eyes turned red as he looked at the flames. "Maybe I'll see him soon." After saying that, Tan Xi laughed to himself.
