The Grey Age Chapter 2 Terminating Experimentation

It is now the year 2100, and the annual Spring Festival is about to be ushered in

Sir, our flight is about to arrive at its destination, please put away your small table, fasten your seatbelt, thank you for your cooperation.

I opened my sleepy eyes, raised my head, and looked sideways, standing next to me was a flight attendant in a professional suit, her eyes were slightly tired, flying across half a planet, even a professional flight attendant was a little unbearable. I picked up the paper cup with Coke on the small table and drank it all, handed the paper cup to the flight attendant, smiled at the flight attendant, and then quickly put away the small table, now there are many different people on this plane, I don't want to be the target of public criticism.

Looking at the scenery outside the cabin glass, I had extremely mixed feelings at this time, and it seemed that there was always a dark cloud hanging over my head.

Eighteen hours agoPaula Inc. Division

"Drunkard, then I'll go and rest first, you can keep an eye on that bottle of reagent, the temperature should not be too high, always keep it at 35 degrees Celsius, you know?"

I pointed to the cylindrical glassware with the pale blue reagent on the bench and instructed a blonde guy. The drunkard's name was Billy, and he was grinning at this time, showing a mouthful of burnt teeth caused by too much smoking, his face was flushed, and he was holding a bottle of Chivas Regal in his hand, and he took two sips from time to time, looking drunk.

When he was on duty before, there had been a small fire in the laboratory caused by drunkenness, but fortunately, the alarm system was very sensitive, and the fire was mechanized, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even so, we still lost some of the research reports, and the part of the loss happened to be the reports that I was responsible for. Unfortunately, I had to work overtime alone for a few days to make up on those reports, and today is the last day I will stay here to work overtime to write the report.

Coincidentally, it's Billy the drunkard on duty today, I really don't understand what the company's top management thinks, how can such a guy be on duty in the laboratory? I was really scared by him, so I had to carry the report with me just to be on the safe side, who knows what trouble this guy will get into again.

After putting the report together, I stood up and pushed open the door to the lab and walked out of the lab. It's one o'clock in the morning, I'm tired and sleepy, I just want to get back to the dorm and get a good night's sleep.

There is only a small garden between the lab and the dormitory, which is very close, and I can see the floor of our lab just in front of the window of my dormitory.

When I came to a foreign country, I found that in addition to the appearance of the human race, the others seem to be no different from those in China, and it may be that I don't have time to go out and walk around and have no chance to experience the local customs. Everything is the same as living in China, scientific research, eating, sleeping, three points and one line.

The bioengineering project I am currently leading is a project called "Multi-species Gene Mixing Technology", if this project can be successfully developed, it will bring immeasurable value, some contemporary terminal diseases, such as cancer, congenital heart disease and other diseases caused by genetic defects will be completely treated, and even human life expectancy will be greatly increased!

But I always felt that this project was against heaven, like Pandora's box, and once opened, it would cause inevitable damage.

Thinking of this, I sighed and arrived at the door of the dormitory. Open the door lock, close the door with your hand, wash up, and then lie down on the bed and fall asleep.

It was about three o'clock in the morning, a shocking explosion woke me up from my sleep, the glass on the dormitory window was shattered, I jumped up from the bed at once, accidentally stepped on the broken glass, the sharp broken glass pierced the soles of my feet, but I didn't pay much attention to it, because through the broken window I saw that the laboratory exploded!

"Your sister's!"

I yelled, put on my shoes and wanted to go out to see what was going on, this is the half-tube reagent that the team extracted after half a year and overcoming many difficulties and obstacles, and now it is so ruined, I really want to punch this drunkard in the face! It must have been this guy who drank too much and fell asleep, and the reagent temperature was too high to cause the explosion, fuck!.

Through the shattered glass, I saw a commotion on the first floor of the company. Dressed in suits, white coats, and some security personnel were all crowded at the entrance of the hall on the first floor, and everyone's faces revealed a look of panic and uneasiness. In the light of the explosion, I could clearly see billowing dark green smoke drifting in the wind, these fogs were very strange, and they did not dissipate with the wind, but gradually drifted towards the lobby on the first floor.

Somehow, I suddenly felt an indescribable palpitation. I wanted to warn the people standing outside the gate on the first floor not to stand there, but it was too late, and the dark green mist had already drifted through the crowd, and all the people who had come into contact with the dark green fog without exception fell to the ground one by one with convulsions, and a large amount of blood kept gushing out of the seven orifices!

The whole process only lasted more than ten seconds, and none of the people inside and outside the hall escaped, and all fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead!

My Adam's apple was swaying up and down, cold sweat kept flowing out, and I stood in front of the window in a daze and couldn't move, not because I didn't want to move, but because my body didn't listen to me at all!

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of air bursting in the sky. Several large searchlights shone out a miserable white light, shining directly on the ground in front of the company's gate.

I looked up and saw three black Apache gunships flying at an altitude of 100 meters above the ground, with a "B" pattern painted in white paint on the fuselage, which was the internal helicopter of the Paula company.

The armed men on the helicopter saw the scene on the ground, suspended for a moment, and then lowered the ropes, from which dozens of fighters wearing black mercenary uniforms and gas masks were quickly parachuted. The men quickly checked the casualties on the ground and then reported to their superiors.

I looked at the company people lying on the ground again, but I saw a scene that stunned me!

They can no longer be called "people", some of them are covered with black hair, their faces are starting to develop like gorillas, some people's skin is slowly becoming reflective, and they are starting to grow scales the size of a baby's fist, and even some people, their mouths have suddenly turned into beaks similar to birds, and more than a dozen different species have been discovered. These people may have become like this because they inhaled these gases.

After some reconnaissance, the mercenaries found that there was no danger and reported it to their superiors again.

Within five minutes, rows of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances arrived, and when rescuers arrived at the scene, they put on radiation suits and gas masks and began to carry out emergency rescue. The dead "humans" were carried out one by one, and when they saw all kinds of strange humans, they were a little overwhelmed for a while, and some even vomited on the spot when they saw these genetically mutated humans.

I stiffened back on the bed and sat down, only to remember that I had accidentally broken glass and pierced the soles of my feet.

Turn on the lights in the dormitory and start treating your own wounds. My mind was in a mess now, and I still couldn't accept what had just happened, but before I could recover my senses, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory, and the voice seemed a little hurried. I quickly put on my slippers, went to the door of the room and opened the door.

I saw a young man with short blond hair standing in front of me, dressed in a dark blue suit, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a handkerchief pinned to his chest. Behind him, there were two other mercenaries wearing black mercenary uniforms, black tactical helmets, faces covered by black masks, and holding an XM16 assault rifle of AR blood in their hands.

I faintly felt a murderous aura, and I couldn't help but feel a little weak in my legs, but I still held back the fear in my heart

"Is there anything wrong?"

The young man in a suit gently pushed his glasses with his hand and spoke fluent Chinese

"Hello, Mr. Qi, my name is Jason, I am here to recover all the belongings of Paula Company, and I have a report on you on the 'Multi-species Gene Mixing Technology', and now please hand it over to me."

I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect them to come to collect my research report.

Although I am very reluctant, there is no reason not to hand it in, after all, I am just a part-time worker, and these things really belong to the company's property.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get it."

Jason nodded, didn't come in, and just waited for me at the door.

I went to the bed in the dormitory, pulled out the research report I had written from under my pillow, and came to the door again and handed the report to Jason.

Jason smiled very satisfied and said to me: "Thank you for your cooperation, by the way, Mr. Qi, the company has booked a ticket for you to return to China, you take the plane tomorrow night, to be precise at nine o'clock tonight, thank you for your hard work during this time." ”

After saying that, he smiled at me, then turned around and left. I closed the door of the dormitory with a stomach full of questions, and sat on the bed in despair, staring at the broken glass in the dormitory with dull eyes... All this indicates that this scientific research project has been forced to be suspended.

My name is Qi Mo, I am a researcher in bioengineering, unlike other brain workers, I have a pair of myopic eyes but never wear glasses, a neat short hair, I feel like a handsome guy in my face, although I lack exercise, but my body is relatively well-proportioned. This time, he was assigned to the branch of the American company by the headquarters of the Paula company in his country to lead the research and development of a scientific research experiment that lasted for three years, which was a year and a half, and if it was not for the accident during the project research, it was estimated that the branch would have to stay for another year and a half. When I left, it was cool, and when I came back, it was the middle of winter, and I missed my hometown for a long time.

I looked out the window, the weather was not as sunny as I had imagined, and even though I couldn't smell the air outside the window, I could feel the smell of my hometown.

Now that the year is approaching, the LED display in the cabin tells me that the temperature outside me is minus 16 degrees, and I am wearing a suit and leather shoes, and I don't have a down jacket.

With a loud roar and strong vibrations, as well as the most impatient low-speed ride, I finally reached my destination. Grabbing my briefcase, I walked to the cabin door in a puffy manner.

An aunt next to her said coldly: "Didn't this guy go out and look at the weather forecast?"

There was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old beside the aunt, who looked like the granddaughter of the aunt, and the aunt turned back to the little girl and said, "Xiaomei, you can't learn from him, you will be sick when you are old!" ”

I pursed my lips and didn't say anything, thinking to myself: my aunt is still my aunt!

When the hatch opened and I took the first step, I regretted it! It was a snowy field, and the cold north wind mixed with the snow on the ground hurt my face, and now I didn't have the excitement I had before, I just wanted to get into the taxi and get home.

With my arms folded, hunched over, and small steps, I quickly rushed to the baggage carousel to take out my luggage and got into a taxi. The moment I opened the door and got into the taxi, I felt like I was born again.

Trembling, I took out a cigarette and lit it, told the driver the address, and the driver pressed the meter, and we were ready to run home.

I casually glanced out the window and suddenly saw a shocking scene unfolding in the parking lot.

A three-flower Bian Mu bit a middle-aged man's calf like crazy, no matter how the people around him hit, there was no intention of letting go, from afar, I could vaguely see Bian Mu's red eyes!

"Is this a rabies attack?"

I was muttering and my brain was racing.
