Chapter 40: The Poison Cave

Rick slowly groped his way to the door, Rick touched the computer desk, pulled the computer desk with both hands and wanted to move it back, Rick staggered to the ground without pulling it tight with both hands, and smashed his head on the ground with a "bang".

"Knock knock, Rick, what's wrong, Rick," Sun Mengyuan kept knocking on the door outside.

"Poof" Rick opened his mouth and a stream of blood flowed out, dyed his shirt red, he couldn't die now, if he died, he would harm the entire inhabitants of the building.

A firm belief supported Rick, and the strength in his body seemed to be completely drained, but Rick couldn't give up, Rick leaned against the wall and made a horizontal effort, and stood up again, it was dark in front of him, but Rick was still conscious, and knew that the computer desk he moved over and blocked the door was directly in front of him. I'm so stupid that I didn't think about anything.

Rick walked forward slowly, and this time Rick was sure, a shout came from the room, and Sun Mengyuan heard the sound of the table rubbing against the floor.

The door opened.

Rick was half-bent over and his hands drooped naturally, like a mutating zombie. Seeing this, Sun Mengyuan hurriedly went up, and Rick felt that Sun Mengyuan was coming, so he hurriedly used all his strength to push Sun Mengyuan away, and walked outside with slow steps.

Rick fumbled to open the security door, and when he heard the sound of the lock loosening, Rick couldn't hold on any longer, and his eyes appeared a darker color, and he lost consciousness......

Naval base on the east coast of country M

The naval base is located in a large shipyard in the mountains, and the terrain here is very high, where many warships and submarines are moored, and rows of destroyers and frigates stand in an orderly manner. There was no life on the various warships, all the soldiers were in the base, the base was like a small city, all kinds of buildings were hidden in the surrounding mountains, the base was full of various places, next to the sea was a shipyard, and the skeletons of many large ships were surrounded by larger scaffolding. On the coast, every hour there will be ocean-going freighters from Asia and Africa that take medicines, protective clothing, masks, antibiotics, infusion tubes and other medical supplies docked on the shore, which also means the exposure of the base, but this is no longer important, as long as there is an hour-long shortage of drugs will cost dozens of soldiers their lives, all infected people are currently relying on a kind of anti-king hormone produced in overseas factories to inhibit the spread of the virus throughout the body, this hormone was originally an antibiotic that failed to design, However, after the outbreak of the epidemic, experts found that this hormone is essentially a way to maintain the life of soldiers by fighting poison, and the injection can be delayed for a week, but the side effects on the body are also extremely large. Many soldiers suffered from severe hair loss, molting, hardening of the arteries, etc., but these were nothing compared to death.

There is a huge cave on the right side of the base, the entrance gate is dozens of meters high, the cave was originally a natural culvert, and later it was used as a military facility for a major transformation, the highest point of the culvert is more than 150 meters, inside is a huge underground hangar, now because of this genetic weapon attack, all the fighters have been moved outside, here is now a super isolation room, from the perspective of God from the drone, you can see tens of thousands of white isolation tents stationed here, People who don't know the truth are likely to think of it as a giant's shoe print, which is really hard to describe, except for the magnificent, the rest can only be grandiose.

All the soldiers infected with the virus in the country have been transferred here, not only because it is convenient to centrally manage the response and treatment, but also for a more important reason, that is, to facilitate the cremation of corpses, 400,000 soldiers are now being treated here, there are four beds in one tent, which means that there are four infected people, a military doctor is in charge of seven or eight tents, and many doctors are urgently recruited from all over the country. Some of the country's most famous medical research teams are working day and night in research institutes on the ground to analyze virus samples.

Scott has been in his office for four days, and he has spent all four days of his life in the office, and the logistics staff and bodyguard secretary who delivered the meals have been sent away by Scott, and the three meals a day in the past few days are also solved by the non-staple food in the office. Scott doesn't trust anyone, because everyone can have symptoms of infection at any time, and Scott's bottom is the main research site of the scientific research team.

There was also a half-wall-sized display on the wall of his office, and Scott was not as brave as the undersecretary of defense, directing all day in the poison den, which the uninfected soldiers now call the underground culvert, and in which thousands of soldiers' corpses would be transported every day, and several heavy transport trucks would be carried to burn on the other side of the mountain.

When the virus first broke out, some experts came forward to say that a deep pit should be dug first, and those fatal corpses infected with the virus were more transmissible, Scott listened to the suggestion, and used explosives to carry out targeted blasting with explosives in a place on the other side of the mountain where birds do not, and blew up a large crater several hundred meters deep and two kilometers in diameter.

There is also a small camp specially built there, responsible for the daily incineration of corpses, corpses also need to be disinfected before incineration, corpses will be injected into a reagent potion, enough to kill 96% of the virus in the body, infected soldiers can not inject this, because the potion is specially designed for the dead, the virus in the body of the living person will be quickly killed after injection, but the soldier will also die immediately.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell" Scott's satellite phone rang, and Scott immediately connected.

"Are our anti-aircraft weapons ready, and is the site of the scientific researchers really absolutely safe?" It was Deputy Secretary Jason who spoke, and Jason was in the safe house in the poison cave at this time, wearing a set of high-end protective clothing, and making phone calls to affect the sound signal.

"I said it, I have my own arrangements, you have asked three times, the air defense system is always on, the outer wall of the scientific researchers can withstand a nuclear bomb attack, we have also arranged a cordon thirty nautical miles away, if there is anything abnormal, the entire base will trigger a crisis alarm." Scott was a little impatient, the deputy minister was more suspicious, Scott even suspected that he was investigating himself in private, and he suspected that he was someone from the WDE. If it weren't for his lack of power, Scott would have fired Jason long ago.

"Mr. Minister, what about the freighter that transports medicines? I think it should be clear to you that our army is already half paralyzed, and at this time it is very vulnerable to attacks, and the loss of NY and the capital you are watching it happen. At that time, a technician sent you a private message saying that the WDE was likely to adopt a drone tactic to break through our defenses, and he explained in detail in that email that in the face of such a well-thought-out defense, only informal and non-traditional attacks can be adopted, and the simpler the weapon, the more dangerous it is, and it also proposed several different drone capabilities, but you ignored it, and as a result, thousands of soldiers died in vain. Jason reprimanded Scott.

"Deputy Minister, I think you should understand that now I am your superior, and it is not your turn to teach me a lesson, you just need to do your duty now, and the defense will be left to me." Scott harshly counter-blamed Jason Dao.

Jason was very angry in the poison den, this minister was always in a high position of inaction and disorderly behavior, if he and the president were not the same party and nominated him, Jason would have united with the House of Representatives to impeach Scott.

After hanging up the phone, Jason dialed another number, according to Scott's current defense, there is now a 33-nautical-mile defense line overseas, two aircraft carrier battle groups are hovering in the defense line, and the 29 phalanxes and anti-missile systems in the base seem to be invulnerable, but in fact they are full of loopholes.

Now, if the WDE wants to attack, there is no need to attack in person, only need to continue to spread the virus, now there are infected people sent from all over the country in the base, it is difficult to ensure that there are no WDE people among these infected people, they may be infected with the virus, but there are no symptoms, after being transported in, the poison den is so chaotic, it will definitely take the opportunity to create some trouble, now Jason is most afraid of the mutation of the virus, if the virus mutates, the staff of the entire base will be infected with half of it, then the whole operation will collapse.
