What I don't understand is, why do Americans turn to me for help? ”

Chen Shi asked questions when he had questions, and he didn't have to be too taboo in front of Xiao Yang.

"It's simple, because they can't figure it out themselves, and you'...... You know, you've had a lot of experience over there, and they think you might have the experience to discern what's going on. ”

"Americans also think too highly of me."

Chen Shi was a little speechless.

"Anyway, if you don't want to go over, I can help you refuse there."

"No, I'd better go over, now it's really a community with a shared future for mankind, if something goes wrong with them, we will be unlucky in the end."

"Since you agreed, I'll go with you."

More than ten hours later, a military plane quickly landed at a military airport on the west coast of the United States, and then the car that had been waiting for them for a long time transported them to their destination.

Pothole No. 2.

This original pothole has been covered by a cement "coffin" made in a short period of time, mobilizing the strength of national support, and in front of Chen Shi is a majestic steel building, all covering the entire pothole, like a large gymnasium.

As the person in charge of Pothole No. 2, after the US military took over, this place has almost become a war zone, and the personnel of the surrounding cities have long been evacuated, and several cities seem empty and uninhabited.

Only in the vicinity of Pothole 2 can countless military personnel be seen at work.

After passing through the fence and cordon, Chen Shi and the Chinese team finally came to the front of the No. 2 pothole.

They were greeted by the Secretary of Defense, the US Army General, the President's Delegate, and other officials, and after a friendly conversation, the matter was handed over to a colonel who was specifically responsible for receiving them.

"Colonel Fred, without further ado, can we go over and have a look now?"

Xiao Yang spoke fluent English to talk to him.

Chen Shi's English listening is okay, and after the previous training, he can basically understand the conversation between each other without barriers, but his spoken English is a little bad.

"Of course, please follow me."

Colonel Fred was already in his forties, and he was in the prime of life, so it was reasonable to say that he should be very energetic, but when he talked to Chen Shi and the others, he looked indescribably tired and worried, as if he had encountered a great problem that could not be solved.

In an isolated tent, Chen Shi saw frozen corpses in the freezer.

Similar to what was seen in the previous video, the skin on the surface of the corpse was charred and blackened, almost all of which was charred and dried up, which did not look like ordinary burns.

The strangest thing is that the researcher in the video was burned like this, but his clothes were intact, and he didn't know exactly how he caused such a death.

Without saying a word, Colonel Fred pulled out another freezer, which still contained a corpse.

"Since last night, in the same way, three more people have died."

Colonel Fred had a gloomy face: "Now the news is still blocked, and we dare not announce it to the public, for fear of causing panic." ”

The worries of the military high-level Chen Shi and Xiao Yang both understand, and if it were them, they would not dare to easily announce and leak the news, which is different from the visible opponent, no matter how hideous and dangerous, they can also formulate a plan to face it.

And in the face of the invisible enemy of the alien species, that is, it is passively beaten, and the human heart is extremely easy to cause fear and uneasiness.

Chen Shi carefully observed the corpse, and then said, "Can you take me to the area where the incident occurred?" ”

"Okay." Fred nodded, and walked ahead first, and after a series of checks, they came to another area.

Although there is a huge "coffin" like building in the pit in front, in fact, there is still construction in it, and it is inconvenient to put research into it, not to mention that it is too close to the pothole, and the military also has some scruples.

Yes, the research area is still placed outside, and the makeshift military tent is connected into a large area, and only staff wearing biochemical protective suits can enter.

"Please change your protective suit......"

Colonel Fred glanced at Chen Shi: "Of course, Mr. Chen doesn't have to change, your set of clothes is safer than any protective clothing." ”

This is also a fact, Chen Shi is not even afraid of high-radiation areas, not to mention some possible biochemical risks, the only shortcoming of the gamma suit is probably that it cannot survive in a vacuum.

Dressed in protective suits and taped to the junction of the wrists and ankles, they walked through the UV disinfection chamber and walked into the research area.

"What's going on here? Is such a strict disinfection procedure required? ”

Chen Shi asked curiously.

Xiao Yang coughed, but did not stop Chen Shi from speaking.

Fred hesitated for a moment before adding: "The main work is for the study of samples in Pit 2. ”

Although this sentence is simple, the amount of information is huge, Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows, the Chinese side is currently relying on Chen Shi to go deep into the big pit to have a sample. If it is an ordinary upper rock sample, there is no need to collect it, and the sample here must be the sample below the radiation zone and next to the space-time channel.

The Americans were really good enough to quickly think of a way to collect samples, and maybe they all explored the other side of the space-time channel.

"Actually, those samples are fine, there are no germs and radiation hazards."

Fred said: "Otherwise, it must have been sent to the fourth-level virus laboratory for research, and it would be impossible to put it here. ”

Chen Shi vaguely felt that Fred's words might not have been finished, and what was still hidden was not said, but this was someone else's home, and it was impossible for him to force the other party to say what you were doing in your house.

He sighed.

Sure enough, what he thought was still too simple, thinking that at the moment when the fate of mankind was at stake, mankind would be a community with a shared future, and it should be right to work together and unite. The truth is, not all people and not all countries think that way.

In fact, it's simple, no matter how tall he thinks, what should they think about the tens of millions of Indonesians who were sacrificed? Do they deserve to be sacrificed? Will they feel like they should be sacrificed?

It's really too difficult to get humanity together, and I'm afraid it can't be done at all.

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Shi put the thoughts in his heart behind for the time being, and he followed the steps of Colonel Fred and went deep into the fifth section, where he had been temporarily isolated, and he didn't see anyone else except for their arrival.

"The three people who died last night are also here, the same way that the first deceased died, and for safety reasons, I closed the fifth section and forbade anyone to enter."

Chen Shi saw the white line drawn on the ground, squatted down, and found that there seemed to be some carbonized powder on the ground.
