Chapter V: Causes

"All personnel, please note that there is an abnormal situation in the suspicious biological retention room in Area B on the Center-1 floor, please go to Researcher Pan Yueming, Doctor Su Qin, and the first guard team of Country C as soon as possible, unrelated personnel are prohibited from approaching the area, and the passage will be closed in 3 minutes...... "The 3-minute countdown begins: 2 minutes 59 seconds, 2 minutes 58 seconds, 2 minutes 57 seconds...... 2 minutes and 54 seconds ......", the warning sound of the central computer phoenix sounded throughout the MDIRC.

"Wake up, Mr. Pan", two men in white protective clothing stood next to the bed, one tall and one short, and kept shaking the sleeping Pan Yueming on the bed.

"Well, ah, what are you doing here?" , Pan Yueming rubbed her eyes and asked puzzled.

"Hurry up, it's too late, the passage is about to close, hurry up and follow us, tell you what's going on the way", the tall man urged while pulling Pan Yueming up, and even changed his title to "you".

The red light continued to flicker, and the metal ring in Pan Yueming's right hand was also counting down, and the original personal monitoring data on the metal ring LCD screen became a line of timing display at this time: 2:32.41, 2:32.40...... Phoenix was still reading the seconds through the speaker.

The three of them quickly rushed out of the room and ran straight to the elevator at the end of the passage. There are a total of 32 rooms with various logos on both sides of the passage, in this case, they did not put a hood on Pan Yueming anymore, and all they could remember during the running process was the number of rooms, but they didn't have time to see the pattern logo.

The elevator sped them to the -1 floor.

"Quick, fast...... 42 sec...... 41 seconds", as soon as the elevator door opened, I heard someone urging in the background sound of Phoenix's counting.

"Be careful", one hand picked up Pan Yueming, who was almost kneeling on the ground. Looking up, I saw that there was a fully transparent circular passage connected to the elevator door, like in the deep sea, the material of the passage should be fully tempered glass, the length of the passage was about 100 meters, and a thick airtight alloy door was slowly closing at the middle connection, and the warning light on the door was also flashing red.

"Ouch, please help me, this damn door is caught in my foot", Pan Yueming just ran into the airtight door, and his left foot was still caught by the door before he could pull it off the ground.

"We worked in groups of three to break the left and right doors so that Mr. Pan could retract his feet," said one of the six armed men who appeared to be the leader of the group.

"8 seconds, 7 seconds ......", Phoenix is still reading the countdown, "1, 2, 3 Hi", the players shouted slogans and tried to loosen the door a little, Pan Yueming took the opportunity to retract his left foot, but the leather boot of his left foot was scraped off by the door and left outside the door.

"1 second, 0 seconds, the suspicious creature retention room is closed", after the phoenix finished reading the last sentence, the red light of the alarm turned back to white, the passage lights returned to warm white, and everything returned to calm, leaving only the six members of the first guard team who were waiting outside the door.

"You're all right, aren't you?" At this time, the tall man in white on the inside of the door asked Pan Yueming.

"I didn't hurt anything, I just missed a boot," Pan Yueming replied as he rubbed his left foot, which was caught in some pain by the door.

"It's okay, I have to change it in the clean room anyway, as long as it doesn't hurt," the tall man in white helped Pan Yueming up and said.

"How far are we going?" , Pan Yueming asked while getting up.

"It's not far, we have to go through a clean room first, then a disinfection room, and finally a retention room," said the tall man.

"Would you like to take this opportunity to give me a brief introduction here?" , Pan Yueming asked as she walked.

"Okay, we've identified you, and now we can tell you everything here, you're a researcher in country C, and I believe you should be very clear about the secrecy procedure?" , the shorter man in white spoke.

"Just say it, I understand this, don't sell it", Pan Yueming had too many questions in his heart, and he also urged.

"Let's talk as we go," said the short man in white.

We are indeed the International Disaster Response Center, abbreviated as "MDIRC" in English, which was proposed by country C at the beginning of its establishment, and finally formed by the five major countries in the world, and the small and medium-sized countries only provided partial financial support due to their limited national strength. The purpose of the establishment of the center is to prepare for the catastrophe that mankind will face in the future, and it has been 15 years since the center was established, and some of the cabins are still under construction.

The overall structure of the center is built with reference to the DNA double helix structure, and is currently divided into six areas: central area, energy area, ecological area, combat area, exploration area and residential area.

The shape of the whole center is spherical, except for the central zone located in the center of the sphere, the rest of the zones are distributed and extended by DNA double-stranded structure, and the energy zone is located in the outer layer of the central zone, followed by the ecological zone, residential zone, exploration zone and combat zone. The distance between each large region and the central region of the sphere is unequal, and can be adjusted by adding or removing the radial double-stranded tubing of DNA if necessary.

Before you come here, the center has already started the emergency procedures, and all the areas are currently being urgently jointly operated and commissioned, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the residential area will be officially opened and become a refuge ark for mankind.

We are currently located in a pipeline on the 1st floor of the Exploration Zone, and the specific location coordinates are represented by the central zone as a frame of reference, and the bracelet you wear is a comprehensive instrument, which is more than just a life monitor.

"Let's go, the clean room will be here soon, I'll introduce Mr. Pan later," the tall man in white interjected.

As he was talking, a titanium alloy gate appeared in front of the three of them, and the short man in white raised his right hand and leaned on the door opening device next to the door, "No. 3211 identity recognition is normal, please pass quickly", a voice came from the top of the door.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, the titanium door behind them closed.

In front of him is another tempered glass airtight door, "enter one by one", the short man in white stepped forward and walked into the automatically opened glass airtight door and said, before the words fell, the airtight door was closed.

"Is this a clean room?" , Pan Yueming, who stayed outside the door, turned his head and asked the tall man in white.

"Yes, you will go in first and change your clothes according to method 3211, and then go in and wait for me in the antechamber of the disinfection room, and the three of us will disinfect together and see how it goes," the tall man replied.

"He's number 3211, in the order in which he's in the glass room now?" , Pan Yueming pointed to the short man in white in the clean room and said.

"Yes, the suit is one-piece, and your shoes just happened to be left outside," the tall man responded.
