Chapter 13: Angel's Tears
8431 is a suite on the fourth floor of the Elysium Island Resort, it has a living room and a bedroom, although there are two rooms, but 15 people are very crowded inside.
Among the 15 people, only Qian Long, Zhao Ruoran, Li Zixuan, Shangguan Yu, and Xiaolu, who joined later, these five people are children, and the others are adults. In fact, to be precise, Shangguan Yu and the four of them should also be considered adults, because they are all 18 years old.
Among these 15 people, there is a very strange phenomenon, that is, a few children actually play the leading role, and those adults are actually at a loss for this zombie-rampant mode and have no opinion.
Except for Shangguan Yu and Xiaolu who have weapons, the money dragon nicknamed the local tyrant Jin has an M110 sniper, and Zhou Junbo has an M10 pistol, and the others have no weapons, so before Shangguan Yu came, the ten people here all listened to the money dragon, which is the so-called power out of the barrel of the gun.
The island where everyone is now is called Elysium, which belongs to the territory of the small country S in the Middle East, but militarily it is actually controlled by the superpower M. At the same time, EL Company purchased the right to use and develop it for 100 years, so now the actual controller of Elysium Island is EL Company.
Although EL is a multinational joint venture, its largest shareholder is a native of country M, so it is very likely that it is a company controlled by the military of country M.
The second largest shareholder, Qian Long's father, has only a small part of the shares. EL's business scope: bioengineering, tourism catering, real estate, etc. Among them, bioengineering accounts for the main part.
After Elysium Island was bought by EL, it was built into a tourist resort. In addition to the main resort hotels on the island, there are many villas and apartments for rent, as well as baths, yachts, amusement casinos, diving and other tourist services.
Elysium Island is located in a certain sea area in the Mediterranean, and the entire island resembles a mango from a bird's eye view, with a length of 5 kilometers from north to south and 3 kilometers from east to west, so it is still a fairly large island.
The resort is located on the northern coast of the island, and in the southwest corner of the island there is a secret laboratory of EL Corporation. There is also a power plant in the southeast corner of the island, which provides electricity supply for the entire island.
Shangguan Yu's father, Lao Shangguan, and his mother, Fang Qian, both work in the Elysium Island laboratory, and through the map provided by Fang Qian, they also learned about a situation, that is, there is a communication base station on the top floor of the resort, but I don't know why it was damaged, so the mobile phone has no signal, and it is impossible to contact the outside world.
When introducing the island, Sena suddenly asked, "Mrs. Shangguan, I would like to know why there is a laboratory on this resort island?" Is there some hidden secret? ”
Fang Qian smiled bitterly: "Do you know what EL company means?" Eternal-Life, eternal life! The company was founded with the aim of eradicating all diseases and giving people eternal life. ”
Senna laughed and said, "Eternal life? It's hilarious! So did you do it? ”
Fang Qian smiled bitterly again: "Can't you see it, Miss?" And it did! ”
"It's zombies everywhere?" Senna asked, implying that the culprit of the zombie outbreak was EL Corporation.
"Another meaning of Eternal-Life," Fang Qian said, "mourns the deceased, and the soul lives forever." So, when it comes to eternal life, EL has done it, isn't it? But miss, please don't blame me, although I am a senior engineer of EL, I have also been deceived, and my husband's life and death are still unknown! And our labs are well managed, so there's no way a virus can leak out of the lab! ”
Sena calmed down her anger a little, and Shangguan asked, "Mom, what's going on?" ”
Fang Qian said: "It's a long story, in short, Xiaoyu, you have to believe me and your father, we are absolutely decent, and we will never do anything against humanity!" ”
Seeing that my mother didn't say anything more, Shangguan guessed that there must be some big secret hidden in it, and there were many people here, so it was inconvenient for my mother to say it, so Shangguan didn't ask more.
"So now, it's no fun for us to dwell on these useless things," Shangguan said, "I thought about it, we have two things to do next." First, go to the roof of the building to repair the base station and restore communications. Second, go to the information desk on the first floor, find the switchboard, and contact each room to see if there are any other survivors. And I had to go to the lab and find my father! ”
The two tasks Shangguan said are very difficult, especially the second one, the service desk is in the lobby on the first floor, and there are the most zombies in the lobby!
The task of repairing the base station is also dangerous, but it is better than the second one. Besides, there is a communication engineer here, with him, as long as he can reach the base station, the task can be completed in minutes.
And now the question to be faced is whether these two tasks are worth doing, and who to send to do them, there is a certain analysis, each has its own opinion, especially several adults, they can't fully trust these children.
"Regarding the gathering of survivors, I don't think I need to go to the lobby desk on the first floor, because it's too dangerous to do that, there are too many zombies in this hotel," Senna said. ”
"What then?" Several people asked, and several of them had lost contact with their companions.
Sena took out her universal room card and said, "As a department experience in the hotel, this card of mine can open all the rooms in the hotel. My solution is to form a commando team to go out, try to avoid the zombies, open the doors of the other rooms in turn, and notify them one by one. ”
Shangguan patted his head and said, "Oh my God, young lady, have you thought about it, hundreds of rooms......"
"606," Senna said.
"606 rooms," Shangguan said, "how long will it take to find them one by one?" With so many other people, how do we act in unison? The more people, the bigger the target, and as long as one of them is bitten, it will quickly spread to the whole group. ”
"So what do you say?" Senna asked rhetorically.
Shangguan Yu looked around at the people in the room, pondered, and after a while, raised his head and asked Fang Qian first: "Mom, tell me the truth, do zombies have anything to do with your EL company?" ”
Fang Qian bit her lip and said, "Yes, A virus." ”
"A virus?" Everyone asked at the same time, and several of them were full of anger, because of the A virus, it killed so many people, turned them into zombies, and made it impossible for other survivors to be trapped on the island.
Fang Qian looked helpless and said, "Don't look at me like this, I can't help it, I'm also a victim." Originally, it wasn't called A-virus, but 'Tears-of-the-Angel'. ”
"Angel tears?" Senna sneered and said, "What a ecstasy name." ”
Fang Qian said: "TOTA, also known as Angel's Tears, is an anti-aging drug that can cure more than 95% of current diseases, including cancer and blood diseases, and can greatly delay human lifespan and even immortality. ”
Listening to his mother's words, Shangguan Yu didn't feel that his scalp was numb and he was immortal, what a crazy idea. It is conceivable that this so-called immortality is to become a zombie, to become a walking corpse, and no longer have a mind and independent consciousness!
