Chapter 104: A Call to the Command Center
Under the dark night, the urban area of Dongzhou City is still full of traffic, a bustling night scene of the city.
The bustling commercial plaza is full of night tourists, couples who walked out of the cinema after watching the last blockbuster, parents and children who are happy, and diners who are satisfied with their meals...... It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the crowds gradually decreased and the city gradually quieted down.
For ordinary people, life is still like that, although there have been strange rumors on the Internet from time to time recently, and it is just an after-dinner conversation.
However, there are always people in this world who are carrying the burden of this peace.
In Gurong Village, on the outskirts of northern Dongzhou, in the barracks of the emergency response team's command center, the team members still haven't left their jobs, and the machines are still running.
Commander-in-chief Yao Shinian had just finished a meeting with the headquarters, and was resting on the conference chair, a little hazy in his sleep......
Everyone lowered their voices and did not disturb his rest.
It has been the fifth day that the demon hunter team has entered the banyan cave alien space, and Mr. Yao has rested for less than ten hours in the past few days, and the old face of this sixty-year-old man is already haggard and a little dead, and he needs to rest.
The groundwave radio signal that had briefly become clear before began to blur when Xue Ba reported that the team had descended to the hundredth step of the stone path, and then it seemed that a strong wind had appeared to attack them, and the signal was abruptly cut off, and it was never reconnected after that.
In the past few days, the emergency response team has tried various methods, but has not achieved even the slightest breakthrough. There was also a lack of progress on the Anomalous Forces Investigation Team's side.
By this time, in fact, everyone had already tacitly agreed that the Demon Hunter Team and Gu Jun had all died.
"Let Mr. Yao rest." Professor Qin sighed, this is his age.
"Old Qin, it's time for you to go and rest." Minister Meng of the Dongzhou Investigation Department, one of the deputy commanders, also shook his head and sighed, "The bureau can't even lose you." ”
Loss? Minister Meng's middle-aged face became a little heavy, how to explain to the family and friends of the demon hunter team.
When Xue Ba and his wife from the Ministry of Scientific Research got married, the witnesses were him Meng He, as well as Yang Henan's wedding, and ......
"Alas, my old bones can hold on." Professor Qin said this, but his face has aged a lot in the past few days, "Uncle Egg" Luo Dan was brought out by him, Zhang Huogang was watched by him, and the youngest Gu Jun was also pulled by him...... Now with such a bitter fruit, Professor Qin's heart is no less sad than anyone else's.
The atmosphere around them was very low, like a real weapon slashing at everyone here, and some of the personnel had slightly red eyes.
Defeat, another painful defeat, following the sacrifice of 444 colleagues in the Operations Department, a Mobile Task Force was killed.
Professor Qin walked gloomily to the door of the barracks, what light could give them a little guidance in the long dark night?
At this time, the operator in the barracks received a call from some new situation, and all those sick banyan trees in the country suddenly fell one after another!
First is Shuitian Village, then Gaogang Village and Santang Village...... The large screen in front of the barracks connected the images of each scene, and the dozens of sick banyan trees in the villages where the epidemic broke out and had been locked down and quarantined were all like the banyan trees here in the ancient banyan village, and they were no longer alive.
What's going on?
They looked at the image on the big screen and were amazed.
Yao Shinian has been woken up, and his old face is a little heavier.
He is sixty-five years old this year, and he has been joining the Tianji Bureau for forty years, but he still feels cold about the current situation, is the situation about to get completely out of control?
The entire command center was busy again because of this sudden change, but before the personnel at the scene could do anything to check the action, another call came in, it was the Dongzhou Medical Department, and the human banyan tree had changed.
The big screen was immediately connected, Yao Shinian frowned, and Professor Qin and everyone were also watching.
A living alien banyan tree was dead in its cell, this strange and terrifying creature suddenly seemed to lose consciousness, and even instinct was gone, and the head of the tree would have been constantly wailing. And the human alien banyan tree in a state of death has no scratching reflex.
Even if a living person approached it, the skulls no longer had strange screams.
This was already strange enough, but now it is even stranger.
"Old Qin, what do you think?" Yao Shinian asked, in terms of medicine, it is still Lao Qin.
"It feels a bit like brain death." Professor Qin only guessed, "You have to test it to know." ”
Both of these changes in the sick banyan tree and the human tree occurred at the same time, apparently caused by something that had happened.
Just how does it seem to ...... Is it going in a good direction? It's like what has caused great damage to the central system of Ficus sinensis......
Everyone couldn't understand that the unhealed pain made them think badly, could this be a new trap set by the enemy?
But at this time, another call came in, and the operator's face suddenly turned red, and he was shocked and dazed, and exclaimed: "What!? It's true? Yes!? ”
He looked at the people around him, so excited that he almost didn't mention it in one breath, "Ah, ah! "Immediately connect the phone to the command center's PA system.
"Really!!" An excited voice immediately resounded throughout the command center, full of disbelief: "They suddenly came out of that banyan tree, and all of them are alive!" Lin Mo is missing a leg, Lou Xiaoning is missing an eye, but they are all alive! Captain Xue said that the head group of Laisheng Company had been wiped out by them, and Gu Jun said that the source of Banyan Disease had been destroyed. ”
Huo Ran's, Yao Shinian's face changed greatly, "What!?" ”
Professor Qin was blindfolded, Minister Meng almost jumped up, and the bodies of several deputy commanders shook......
The young personnel couldn't help but exclaim, all of them came back alive!?
"They are staying where they are, waiting for someone from the bureau to send them into quarantine." The other end of the line said happily but calmly, "We didn't approach them, we haven't done anything." Their complexions looked okay, a little dehydrated, but okay. ”
Soon, the command center connected to the signal on the scene, and the dark night was brightly illuminated by the high spotlights.
In the den of Laisheng Company, which has been controlled by the Tianji Bureau, where 444 colleagues from the Operations Department sacrificed, there was a line of foreign blood written on the body of the tree: "Mr. Gu, we know yourself better than you." At the banyan tree, a group of more than a dozen people stood next to the tree.
Their faces were miserable, but they still had the vitality of the living, Xue Ba, Uncle Dan, Gu Jun, and Lou Xiaoning...... Sixteen of them were there.
Seeing this scene, the command center suddenly burst into a burst of frenzied shouts, and the dark clouds that had been suppressed here for several days were shaken and dissipated.
The Witcher Squad, all of them survive!
Even Lin Mo, who was considered by everyone to be dead, escaped the disaster of parasites, and saved a leg and lived there.
"Hahaha!" Although he knew that he shouldn't be overly optimistic early, Yao Shinian also laughed out loud, "Okay, great." ”
"Ahh Professor Qin also exclaimed with relief, looked at Meng He, and said with a smile: "Minister Meng, don't be busy doubting for a while, be happy for a while!" ”
"Haha." Minister Meng nodded happily, his eyes reluctant to take his eyes off the faces of everyone on the big screen, "Be happy for a while, be happy for a while." ”
Everyone is laughing and laughing at this time, so let's be happy for a while, I can't tell when there will be another moment like this.
Tomorrow is another busy day.
To isolate the team members, to disinfect, to do a physical test, to do a mental and state of mind test, to assess whether they are not the same person before entering the Banyan Cave, to separate them for review and interrogation, to restore everything that happened in the other space......
There are so many things to deal with, and so many possibilities that will not be pleasant.
Let's be happy for a while.
